A small gathering with not many people attending quickly became known to countless people the next day.
In a tea house that had just reopened in Fengri City, several people dressed as scribes were sitting together with great interest, looking at the calligraphy on the table in the middle with excited expressions.
The calligraphy is very beautiful, vigorous and powerful. It was written by an old man holding a pen next to him. This man is not tall and is about to be seventy years old, but he is in good spirits and has bright eyes.
After finishing the last stroke, the old man stroked his long beard contentedly and nodded, very satisfied with his words.
"What a calligraphy! What a calligraphy! Mr. Qi, you are truly a master of both calligraphy and painting! Amazing!"
"Yes, yes! This word is vigorous and powerful, and it also smells like an iron horse. I think this has something to do with Mr. Qi's joining the army in his early years. This word is definitely a perfect match here!"
"I agree! This word and this poem are a perfect match!"
The old man is Qi Yongyu, the painter who helped Shen Hao paint the mountain tiger in the middle hall before. However, this person is not only good at painting, he is also excellent at calligraphy. The main reason is that his calligraphy is extremely sharp and difficult for others to imitate. As the person next to him just said, Qi Yongyu joined the army in his early years, and the momentum in this calligraphy must have been instilled at that time. He is the only one who has no semicolon.
Qi Yongyu was also very happy to be praised by others. He laughed loudly, pointed to the words on the table and said: "I have been practicing this word for most of my life. It is a habit I left behind when I was in the army. The words are always too murderous. People usually praise it, but it is true. There is little use for it. It would be completely inappropriate to copy ordinary articles and poems in my handwriting, and I deeply regret it.
But who would have thought that this time, by chance, I would get a job to help Mr. Shen paint the central hall. I took the opportunity to urge Mr. Shen, haha, Mr. Shen also gave me face. No, a new work is coming. That’s it! Moreover, it is a masterpiece that matches my calligraphy. It is rare, really rare! "
Qi Yongyu had reason to be happy. He just went to Master Shen's new residence to paint a picture a few days ago. Unfortunately, Master Shen was in seclusion and could not meet him. He just asked the housekeeper of the Shen Mansion to bring him a message, which was to urge Master Shen. Outside The literary circle has long been tired of waiting for his new work.
I didn’t expect Lord Shen to actually give me face. How long has it been? Isn’t the new work coming soon?
"Mr. Shen is now in a prosperous official career, and holds the power of Jingxi Black Flag Camp. He is busy with official duties, and I am afraid that he rarely has the mood to write poems in his spare time. However, he came up with a masterpiece after being urged by you, Mr. Qi. This is because of Mr. Qi's face. It’s big!”
"Yes, yes! Mr. Qi, your words are so powerful when paired with Lord Shen's poem, which vividly displays the sorrow in the poem and the bravery in the poem! I think it is also what Lord Shen saw and heard in the army before, and was praised by the frontline soldiers. It’s because of infection that I created such a masterpiece out of emotion.”
"I have to say, Mr. Shen is a great talent!"
"Haha, those who said Master Shen's talent was exhausted must be speechless now. I really want to throw this poem in their faces and see what their expressions are."
"Hahaha, Brother Zhang is right. I also want to see if those people who badmouth Master Shen's talents are shameless. With this poem published, the theory of talents being exhausted can only be nonsense."
Several of them are from the circle of literati, some are locals from Fengri City, and some are from the circle of the Imperial City, but they all have good friends with Qi Yongyu and are literati who belong to the large circle of calligraphy and painting. At the same time, they have a fondness for literati. I am also very passionate about poetry.
Whether it is "A Cut of Plum Blossoms" or "Shui Tiao Ge Tou·When Will the Bright Moon Come" or even "Divination Operator·I Live at the Head of Baijiang River", they consider them to be extremely excellent poems in recent years.
Just like fishing, people who like it will be addicted to fishing, and the same goes for appreciating poetry. If no new masterpieces come out for a long time, my heart will feel itchy and uncomfortable. So they naturally focused their attention on Shen Hao, who has been the most popular in the poetry circle in recent years.
Now that they got what they wanted, it was natural to get together as if it were a festival.
After that, the calligraphy written by Qi Yongyu was immediately demanded by everyone, but no one was too embarrassed to ask for money. The literati were cash-strapped and all they could get away with were various collections at home, so they asked Qi Yongyu in barter. This calligraphy work. Of course, it would be more elegant not to talk about money. As a literati, it is understandable to be pretentious.
However, Qi Yongyu himself also liked the calligraphy he wrote, so he smiled and declined while carefully putting away the dried calligraphy. The value of this calligraphy and poem will definitely skyrocket if it spreads for a while, but he has no intention of taking action for the time being.
In fact, it’s not just Qi Yongyu, it’s not just the circle of calligraphy and painting, or even just the circle of literati. Shen Hao got into a sexual conversation after drinking last night, and then recalled every bit of his time in the Nanfang Army. The scene that left the deepest impression on him The scene flashed by, and he really felt something, so he took out a poem from his memory that could barely respond to the emotion in his heart.
Because it is a catharsis of emotions about the war, it naturally contains a feeling of family and country. In addition, Shen Hao is also a middle-lower class in the army, and his focus is more on the most common soldiers. This makes it easier for him to In this special period, it resonates with more people, not just the literary circles.
For example, people in the military who also received the news, although they could not drink tea while savoring the artistic conception of the poem like the literati, they were more able to empathize with the emotions in the poem.
"What a poem!"
A crude military man who was only literate loudly commented on a new work of a literary giant. It seemed a bit abrupt, but in fact it also showed that this poem completely broke the inherent circle. It is foreseeable that its spread will be far greater than Shen Hao's previous songs.
In just three days, this poem that broke the circle of literati spread throughout the Jingjiu Dynasty, and was even brought to the southern front along with the supplies gathered from all parties.
Even though the war has begun to subside, the emotion of this poem still makes the hearts and eyes of the soldiers on the front line feel hot.
"It's so damn well written!"
Even the spread of this poem is accompanied by a story that is not known to be true or false.
It is said that the author of this poem is Mr. Shen Hao, who is now the commander of the Yamen of Jingxi Black Flag Camp. Mr. Shen was also the miscellaneous manager of the border army before. He was the internal affairs chief appointed by Commander Zuo, the first aid team in the army, The methods of drinking cold water, going to the toilet together, disinfecting gauze, etc. were all taught by Master Shen. In addition, in the battle of Jianchuan, Master Shen took the lead and fought to the death without retreating. He was a model in the army.
The inspiration for Master Shen to write this poem came from the tragic battle he encountered at the Yuchi Military Station when he passed by the Yuchi Military Station on his way from Wuhu to Jianchuan. It inspired Master Shen as a literary giant to produce a masterpiece.
A person, a poem, a story. Invisibly, Shen Hao was once again pushed to the top of a wave.
