Shenhao with a learning panel

After this celebration, there is no concept of time.

When Li Shi finished sweating in the bathroom and called the hotel room service to deliver the food, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

He's in good spirits and in great shape.

Remembering that this good thing hadn't been shared with Qiu Ye, she immediately found her phone on the desk, and chatted with her in the WeChat area.

As soon as the message was sent, there was also a WeChat notification sound from the blanket between the two beds. Li Shi was worried that the next movement would disturb the woman who was still taking a nap, so he followed the sound and picked up the phone that had fallen on the floor.

The mobile phone belonged to Wang Yuelan, Li Shi remembered the enjoyment just now, walked over, and imprinted on her ruddy and fair cheek.

Lifting her body, she unlocked it directly with the fingerprint of her left thumb, then temporarily set her phone to silent, and placed it on the bedside table.

But not long after, Chen Qiuye called directly.

Li Shi went into the bathroom to pick it up.

After chatting about publishing the book for a while, she said happily again: "Wu Yiming knew that we were going to play on Guishan Island tomorrow, so he introduced me to a friend of his who runs a homestay on the island. She is the cousin of his partner. I have already added her. WeChat."

……

Guishan Island is located on the Lingding Ocean where the blue waves are thousands of miles away. It is the most open and most populous island in the Wanshan Archipelago.

The island is prosperous and rich in aquatic products. Many fishermen carry out cage farming. In addition to ordinary seafood, there are also rare fish species such as grouper, snakehead white, sergeant, and Zhanghong. The guests were very enthusiastic and brought all kinds of the freshest seafood for Li Shi and the others to taste.

It's a pity that the weather on the island is changeable, and sometimes the weather forecast is not accurate. After they went to the island, it rained lightly for half a day.

I stayed on the island for two days, and only had a good day. I visited Guishan Lighthouse, Wharf Square, Seafood Fish Market, Beach, Tin Hau Matsu Temple, Shendao Stone, Tunnel Museum and other small scenic spots on the island. During the time, the three stayed in the room of the hotel.

Fortunately, the condition of the homestay is very good. The room arranged by the proprietress is on the second floor, with a balcony, facing the blue sea, where you can enjoy the most beautiful sea view.

The vastness of the sea can indeed cultivate people's minds.

Li Shi admired the picturesque seascape, and at the same time his mind opened up, so did his appetite.

Clams, scallops, abalone, and other seafood are plump and delicious. Relying on his good digestion, he eats a lot and cooks them hard.

After eating and drinking enough, I will take advantage of the energy to do some doggerel that makes people happy physically and mentally, and sublimates the soul.

Its name is "Persistence".

Said: One day, two days, three or four days, five, six, seven, eight or ninety days.Thousands of days and countless days are nothing to us.

Li Shi's own explanation of poetry is Yongzhi, which means that most of the success in this world is hard-won. For example, learning a sport, even if you are born with extraordinary talents, you must stick to the simplest Movement training, mechanical repetition, repetition and repetition, requires a lot of honing and polishing skills, from the outside to the inside, and then from the inside to the outside, back and forth, enduring the boring and tedious, and finally can win the championship in one fell swoop, pouring out the past at the peak Accumulated boredom, get supreme pleasure and achievement.

No one can succeed casually!

This is the insight he gained from continuous learning after he obtained the learning panel.

But the ultimate success is also charming and joyful.

And his happiness even lasted from Yongcheng to Yangcheng, which was more lasting than others.

After returning to Yangcheng, the next morning, Li Shi took the high-speed train to Jiangcheng, and went to Changhe Literature and Art Publishing House to sign the publishing contract.

As soon as he got in the car, there was a piece of news in the "three of us" group that made him dumbfounded.

Chen Qiuye sent: "Li Shitou, you big monster of a humanoid beast, just wait, Sister Lan and I will not admit defeat! We will make you look good next time! (Left humming)"

After a while, she sent another message: "That...at most until your birthday!"

He couldn't help but smile.

You Chen Qiuye, I don't know who is begging for mercy again and again, if you really dare to talk harshly, don't feel guilty and don't seek revenge.

But birthday... Li Shi immediately remembered the birthday gift Chen Qiuye had mentioned, and his eyes lit up.

Washing radishes on the river—one by one, and the double happiness of blooming two flowers together, after all, there is still a big difference.

His heart rate couldn't help but speed up.

The sixth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar is more than two months away, which is really exciting!

……

From Yangcheng to Jiangcheng, the high-speed train takes four hours.

When he was about to arrive, Li Shi received another WeChat message from Fei Miao.

"Brother-in-law, why didn't you say anything when you came to Yangcheng? I only found out you were here after seeing Sister Yuelan's Moments. When I asked her, you had already left... (lip curls)"

Li Shi didn't reply right away, and then opened Wang Yuelan's circle of friends to check it out.

She posted it an hour ago, probably after sending herself back to the station, and it was a group photo of the three of them - Qiu Ye was in the middle, holding her arm in one arm and Li Shi in the other.

Li Shi remembered that this photo was taken by the proprietress of the hotel on the steps in front of the hotel for them.

During the whole trip, Li Shi took just this one photo, and he took the rest for the two of them. There are at least hundreds of photos of lighthouses by the sea, beaches, cliff roads, and balconies in homestays.

He liked it, and then returned to Fei Miao's message: "Too busy, I forgot, Fei Miao, what do you do?"

Fei Miao: "Haven't you guys been playing all the time?"

Li Shi: "I'm also very busy when I'm playing."

Fei Miao: "Oh... I also want to treat you to dinner, and then ask you for some advice on studying."

When Li Shi heard that it was about reading, he became a little more serious and typed with both hands: "Then you ask, I happen to be free now, and I will be busy again later."

Fei Miao: "Forget it, I have a lot of questions, I'd better wait until the next time we meet to ask."

Li Shijian raised his eyebrows, and felt that this little girl was really like Qiu Ye said, and she had a problem with her attitude.

But she wouldn't contact her usually, maybe it's a kind of younger sister's admiration for her elder brother?
"Okay, let's talk again when we meet next time."

It was 01:30 when we got off the bus. From the high-speed railway station to the publishing house, Li Shi checked the map and found that it would take about [-] minutes. He first called Editor Peng and told him that he had arrived, then took a taxi and went straight to Jianghan District.

I read "Hanshu" on the way, and after waiting for 10 minutes, Editor Peng sent a message, saying that I was waiting for him at the gate of the community.

A few minutes later, the taxi stopped at the gate of the publishing house, and he saw Peng Zichen, who was under 30 years old.

This editor Peng is not tall, but he is fat and very conspicuous.

"Peng Bian!"

"You are Teacher Li? We finally met."

The two entered the community. Li Shi looked around and found that the community was very old, with four-story old houses.

Followed into the second floor of one of the buildings, the sign of the editorial room was hung at the door, and there were four desks filled with books and magazines.

When I entered the door, there were two other editors, a man and a woman, who were relatively young, around 30 years old at most.

Li Shi thought to himself, it is probably rare for this publishing house to have so many young editors in the entire traditional publishing industry.

After the introduction, he sat down at Peng Zichen's desk, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Li Shi with a smile: "I didn't expect you to look so young, but it contrasts with your sophisticated writing style, and you are so handsome... …Would you consider using your own photo on the cover? Maybe it will help sales.”

Use your own photo as a book cover?
Li Shi shook his head quickly, he would not do such a shameful thing.

The two chatted for a while, and Peng Zichen led him to meet the leader again, and then got down to business, talking about signing the contract.

The conditions were negotiated a long time ago. Li Shi carefully checked the contract prepared by Peng Zichen, mainly to see if the above terms were in line with what he said before, whether there were any additional terms he didn't know about, and so on.

After signing the contract, Peng Zichen asked suddenly: "I see that there are a lot of paintings in the samples and in your video on station b. Are you all painting them yourself?"

Li Shi put his contract in his bag, and took out the manuscript of the Chapter 1 sample from it, saying: "It is true that I drew it by myself. This is the manuscript. Please take a look at Editor Peng."

At the beginning, he delivered the electronic manuscript based on the manuscript. Peng Zichen took the manuscript, opened it, his eyes widened a little, and he couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice: "What a beautiful word!"

Seeing this, Li Shi smiled happily.

His ability to control brush and ink is unparalleled in the world, and his aesthetic level has already been cultivated to a certain level, and he practiced hard twice a day. ", Liu Gongquan's "Mysterious Pagoda Tablet" and other famous posts, a large number of copying studies have been carried out, and each of them has copied to the point of nine parts and nine parts, and three or four parts similar to each other.

This manuscript was written by him on the basis of "European style", adding his own understanding of beauty.

Not to mention any personal style, and it is a hard pen, but it is really very beautiful, very beautiful!

"When the history study is completed, I officially choose to learn calligraphy on the learning panel. With my current calligraphy level, I will definitely be able to leapfrog to a higher level... with my current ability to control pen and ink, as well as my understanding of regular script and If you master it, you will have a lot of confidence in rushing directly to the proficient level."

Peng Zichen's exclamation also caught the attention of his two colleagues, and they all ran over to watch.

Among them, the tall and thin male editor should also have practiced calligraphy. After watching it for a while, he immediately praised: "Mr. Li, you are practicing European style, right? , pay attention to rigorous structure and strict laws, typical easy to learn but hard to master, speaking of it, I also learned it for a while...Your level is already very high."

He said, and suddenly sighed: "Oh, I usually practice my calligraphy. When I see such a beautiful work, I really want to keep it for myself, but this is your manuscript, so I don't want to force others to do it..."

Peng Zichen knew his colleague, and he was assigned to participate in any writing-related activities in the club by default, and he was also a member of the Jianghan District Book Association.

Seeing him boasting so much, Peng Zichen looked at Li Shi differently: "Mr. Li, I didn't expect that you are not only good at writing and drawing, but also a calligrapher, awesome pen!"

Li Shi was a little embarrassed.

He knows his own level, and he has taken a few steps forward on the road of calligraphy. He is still in the first half, and there is a long distance from the finish line of "Calligraphy Master", so he said modestly: "Where, my The level is just passable, but I dare not call it a calligrapher."

The male editor surnamed Wang had already taken the manuscript from Peng Zichen, held it in front of his eyes, stared at it carefully, with eager eyes, and kept saying: "People nowadays are impetuous, many so-called calligraphers only Thinking about innovation, you don't care about basic skills at all, but your strokes, although hard pens, can be seen from childhood to adulthood, years of hard work have accumulated extremely high pen power!"

Li Shi smiled and said nothing.

Although he did practice hard every day after learning calligraphy, the whole time was only a few months.

My talent is too monstrous, there is no need to say it out to be envied by others.

Editor Wang looked up at him, thinking that he had acquiesced, suddenly put down the manuscript and ran out, but soon brought a set of pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and handed them to Li Shi with a smile on his face: "Fortunately, there is a set of papers in the activity room next to you. With these, Teacher Li, can I ask you for a picture?"

Seeing him like this, Peng Zichen who was next to him immediately joined in the fun: "I want a pair too, I want a pair too."

On the other hand, the other female editor was not interested in calligraphy, so she had already sat back in her seat, looking at her with a smile.

Seeing this, Li Shi was a little dumbfounded.

He didn't expect things to develop like this at all. He originally thought that if he wanted to show his skills, it would be in painting.

But thinking that his own book publishing can be so smooth and efficient thanks to the support and promotion of these young editors, he said: "Okay, then I will make a fool of myself."

After clearing a desk, Li Shi first thought about what to write, then took nine deep breaths, calmed down, then picked up a pen and ink, and wrote it on the rice paper in one go:

The half-foot scroll has a new look, and the editing and polishing are still true.

Occasionally anyone can compare to the wonderful hand, and the fragrance of ink spreads from ancient to modern.

……

The words written with a brush are more energetic.

Editor Wang stared at it in a daze: "Every stroke is so round and easy to draw and retract. This ability to control ink is terrifying! It's almost like a printer prints out..."

Because of the gift of calligraphy and calligraphy, the three of them seemed to get acquainted with each other all of a sudden, and it seemed like they hit it off.

Editor Wang and Peng Zichen took Li Shi to chat in the office for more than two hours, from calligraphy to how to join the Calligraphy Association, then to Li Shi's "Pre-Qin Cultural History Guide Map", to painting, and to other topics At odds, if it wasn't for Li Shi who had to drive to the capital, they would also like to entertain Li Shi to taste the delicacies of Jiangcheng.

When Li Shi said goodbye, the two went downstairs and sent him to the gate.

As the responsible editor, Peng Zichen said with a smile: "Mr. Li, you are really talented. You are proficient in history, articles, calligraphy, and painting. I am now your fan! After you go back, hurry up and finish the manuscript. I am the first one here." Push forward the publication for a while, let’s try to get the book on the market as soon as possible!"
