God-level Golden Hand

Chapter 122

Photo frames are a woodworking product that only appeared in modern times. Especially before liberation, most photo frames were made of wood. In the eyes of ordinary people, there is no difference between ordinary photo frames and photo frames for portraits.

But in fact, in China, most of the items related to the deceased have some small taboos. Whether it is superstitious or exquisite, there are some rules anyway.

This photo frame is the same. It is no problem to use a normal photo frame to mount a portrait, but it is very unlucky to use a special photo frame to mount ordinary photos.

There is nothing special about the special photo frame for portraits, but the order of splicing is opposite to that of ordinary photo frames.The photo frame is made up of four tongue-and-groove borders at one time, up, down, left, and right. Generally, they are spliced ​​clockwise, first right and then left. The closing nail or tenon at the end is on the left side of the photo frame, but the portrait is just the opposite. Start on the side and finish on the right.

In fact, up to now, many photo frames are formed in one piece, and no one cares so much anymore.

But Xu Jingxing happened to know these unorthodox knowledge, so he discovered the abnormality of the photo frame at a glance.When he discovered this, he thought it was the old man He's family who didn't understand these rules and used the portrait frame by mistake, so he planned to remind them.

But he didn't say anything, and suddenly shut up hastily, because he discovered more suspicious points, or less good details.

First, this house has an area of ​​more than 120 square meters, and it is no problem to live in a family of four, but he just discovered that there is no extra bedroom here, and the place that should be the master bedroom has been changed into a study.This shows that there will be no outsiders in this house except for the grandpa and grandson.

Second, there are slippers at the door, but only one pair and one small pair.This shows that usually no one other than the grandpa and grandson comes in and out.

Third, when I was washing my hands in front of the kitchen faucet just now, I accidentally glanced at the cabinet, and found that there are only two rice bowls placed at the outermost end of the cabinet, and the rest are placed deep in the cabinet.This shows that for a long time, the grandpa and grandson were the only people eating in this family.

At the beginning, he didn't care about these details at all. After all, in today's society, parents are busy with work, and there are many examples of grandpas living alone with their children, which is not uncommon.But combined with the "wrong" photo frame used, perhaps the son and daughter-in-law of Mr. He may not be busy with work, but may have passed away.

Of course, this is just his own conjecture. He doesn't know what the facts are, and he doesn't want to know. It's better not to bring up this possibly tragic fact, so as to avoid embarrassment.

So of course he didn't notice anything and continued to praise what the old man wrote.

Old man He became interested, and wrote another article "Gui Shi Shou", using the official script, which is exactly the Han script that Xu Jingxing had seen through at a glance before. The open wings of a bird are particularly beautiful, and the font structure is in the stage of evolution from official script to regular script, so many people now learn brush calligraphy by copying "Cao Quanbei" as a basis.

Moreover, the Hanli written by old man He is much better than Xingkai, with extremely solid basic skills. Every single stroke has the calligraphy characteristics of the Han Dynasty.

Old man He was also very proud, and put down the brush, "Come on, show your hand, your handwriting on the wood carving is very good, I think it will be better to write with a brush."

Xu Jingxing smiled, but he was not polite, pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. He admires Li Taibai very much, so I will borrow flowers to present Buddha and write a poem, "Farewell to School Secretary Shu Yun at the Xietiao Tower in Xuanzhou," said Then he asked the little girl beside her, "Can you recite?"

"Yes," this little girl didn't talk much, she was very quiet, very sensible, like a little adult, she was very lovable.

He recited while writing the topic, "Those who abandon me, don't keep the day of yesterday, what's next?"

"Those who disturb my mind, today's day is full of worries. Changfeng thousands of miles to send autumn geese, this can make me feel like a tall building..." The little girl quickly picked up, and the recitation was very smooth, and the cadence and rhythm were very rhythmic. I have received very systematic training in recitation of ancient poems, and the poems memorized by rote in school are not read aloud in this way.To put it bluntly, most of the Chinese teachers are not so particular about reciting ancient poems.

This should be the result of old man He's education.

Sure enough, old man He nodded in satisfaction, looking at his granddaughter with pampering and pity in his eyes.

Xu Jingxing also praised a word, and then the pen was like a child's graffiti, and it was drawn with a few strokes. Counting the time for dipping in the ink, it only took a little more than half a minute. This famous article by Li Bai was vivid on the paper. , He uses running script, and the writing speed of running script is so fast. If he uses block letters or official script, he can't finish writing in less than three to five minutes.

Of course, the quality of calligraphy has nothing to do with time-consuming, but only the difference in writing style. What Xingshu seeks is the kind of energy that can be completed in one go, and the requirement is like a rushing river. In this way, otherwise the heroic and free-spirited momentum in Li Bai's poems will not be reflected.

Old man He watched from the side with surprise in his eyes, "Little Master Xu, your skill is much better than mine."

"Ahem, you're so modest. I'm only at the amateur level, and I haven't touched a brush for several years. My hands are very raw, and my brushwork is a bit jerky," Xu Jingxing said hastily.

"Well, it can be seen that it is indeed a bit unfamiliar, but the basic skills are really solid. The strokes seem to be scribbled, but the brushwork is not sloppy at all. According to the teachers, the bones are very upright," Old Man He said. Appreciative comments said that he has this qualification because his level of calligraphy appreciation is much higher than his calligraphy level. Those in the peninsula who like to write two strokes are proud of his appreciation.

Xu Jingxing didn't know that the old man He in front of him had such a great influence in the calligraphy circle of Daocheng, so he was just modest.

Old man He shook his head with a smile, "Don't be modest, it's me who should blush when you say it, and it's me who is playing big swords in front of Guan Gong, hahaha, I was quite complacent just now, after seeing your picture Literally, I'm ashamed of myself."

"It's because you are too modest, your level is first-class in the whole country," Xu Jingxing added another compliment, and then he didn't want to continue to be polite on this matter, and looked at the girl beside him with a smile, "My girl, you Have you ever learned big characters?"

"I'm learning from my grandpa," the little girl replied calmly, without the pretentiousness and arrogance of ordinary little girls. Judging by this posture, she must be a standard demure and talented woman when she grows up.

Xu Jingxing praised secretly in his heart, and handed the brush to Nannan, "Come on, let me see how your grandpa's teaching level is."
