Metropolis: I Am a Full-Time Professional, Attracting Worldwide Attention

Chapter 122

Mordu University has 13,991 general undergraduate and junior college students, 22,232 postgraduates, and 2,946 international students.

Together, it is close to 40,000.

In other words, on average, one out of eight students took Chen Xuan’s course.

And it’s still such an unpopular class in calligraphy.

Everyone basically rushed to the name Chen Xuan. As for the class, that was by the way.

Chen Xuan knows all these things, but despite this, he has to take it seriously.

He doesn’t want to become an Internet celebrity teacher who only relies on fame.

The next day, at 8:30 in the morning, a few old people walked in from outside and heard complaints from a distance.

“You are really getting bolder now. The doctors have said that you will be hospitalized for observation for two days. You don’t listen?”

“And you, Tao Yuan!”

“Yu Qianhe is not sensible, and you are not sensible? Two people who are over a hundred years old are still here wayward? Can this kind of thing be wayward?”

When she mentioned this matter, Qian Yanhong was angry.

Tao Yuan, Yu Qian, and the two were smiling faces on the sidelines, replied again and again, not daring to refute anything.

They were temporarily discharged from the hospital last night, and the two thought it was a perfect fit. Unexpectedly, the hospital contacted Qian Yanhong.

In the middle of the night, Qian Yanhong found Tao Yuan’s house, and Tao Yuan’s wife was also bewildered.

After knowing the situation, educate them with Qian Yanhong.

The two were said to have no temper at all. Fortunately, after Qian Yanhong learned of the situation, she did not mention that he should be sent back to the hospital.

“Xiaoqian, will you go to class together later?” Tao Yuan changed the subject.

“I won’t go. I don’t understand the calligraphy class.” Qian Yanhong said, “I’ll be waiting for you outside.”

When he arrived at the Twin Towers, Qian Yanhong did not go in. Instead, she went to the office and waited while preparing for the next course.

When Tao Yuan and the two walked into the classroom, they looked at the heads all over the room and didn’t react.

“so many people?”

“We seem to be late.” Tao Yuan smiled bitterly, but he forgot this one.

As far as Chen Xuan’s current popularity is, basically as long as the class starts, there must be no absences.

“Find a place.”

Fortunately, the two of them are not very demanding, and just have a place to stay. There is not much difference between sitting on a stool and sitting on the ground.

“Master, come and sit here.”

As soon as the two of them walked a few steps, the students sitting in the first row got up to make way for them.

“No, you sit down.”

“It’s okay.” The students got up and walked aside, vacating their seats. It was impossible for the two of them to sit down.

“Thank you classmates.” The two of them thanked them and sat down, carefully putting the things in their hands aside.

“The quality of college students nowadays is really high.”

The two talked in a low voice, and at the same time they looked around and observed for a while, Yu Qian said peacefully: “Most of them came to see Chen Xuan, but not many people attended the class.”

Tao Yuan said: “Calligraphy is still too niche. Nowadays, the society is impetuous and the pace of life is fast and tight. Unless you have a solid background, or your age, or else there are a few people who can make time to like calligraphy. ?”

…

At 9:25, Chen Xuan was already downstairs.

When he came to the hallway, he saw many people outside the window holding selfie sticks or directly holding mobile phones, shooting at the classroom.

“Teacher Chen!”

Someone spotted him and hurriedly shouted.

The others turned around and shouted Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan smiled at them, walked to the door, stepped in, and, as he expected, there was no shortage of seats.

In a large classroom with 1,000 people, the aisles and sides are full, which adds up to at least 2,000 people.

As soon as Chen Xuan came in, the classroom suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at him.

Chen Xuan walked to the podium, put the things in his hand on the table, and looked at everyone: “Good morning, classmates.”

“Hello Teacher Chen!”

More than two thousand students spoke in unison, and the resulting sound waves almost lifted the ceiling.

“F*ck, there are so many people.”

“As expected of Brother Chen, so many people came to attend the class.”

“By the way, is Brother Chen going to write calligraphy in the classroom today?”

“To be honest, I’m a layman, I really can’t understand the so-called calligraphy, especially some ugly books. How ugly, can that thing be called calligraphy?”

“Ugly calligraphy is chicken feather calligraphy, that thing is grandstanding, there is no ugly calligraphy in real calligraphy!”

“Brother Chen hasn’t written yet, can you wait and scold him?”

…

At the same time, the capital, the imperial city roots in a courtyard.

An old man with half-white hair and long-sleeved mandarin was sitting in the yard drinking tea and reading.

“Humhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh)

The sound of footsteps came from the front yard. A young man in stylish clothes and sunglasses ran over with an iPad in his hand: “Grandpa, class is over.”

The old man raised his eyelids: “What class is there?”

The young man put the iPad on the table in front of him: “Chen Xuan Teacher Chen’s calligraphy class, didn’t you let me remind you?”

“Oh, I almost forgot.”

The old man sat upright, put the tea cup down, adjusted the angle of the iPad, and saw Chen Xuan clearly on the screen.”You guys are so handsome.”

“Is there your grandson Jun?”

“Can it be compared? It’s not a series.”

“Yes.” The grandson looked smug.

The old man said again: “Look at this handsome guy. I have lived for most of my life, and I have never seen such an upright facial features. What are you doing here?”

grandson:”???”

…

…

With a simple hello, Chen Xuan grabbed a piece of chalk and wrote the two characters “calligraphy” on the blackboard.

“Today’s class is mainly about calligraphy.”

“Calligraphy is a big proposition, which can be divided into normal, cursive, literary, seal, and xing.”

“Regular script”: also called “kaishu” and “zhenshu”. It is characterized by its square shape and straight strokes. Calligraphy master Ouyangxun’s “Ou Ti”, Liu Gongquan’s “Liu Ti”, and Yan Zhenqing’s “Yan Ti” are all regular scripts. …”

Chen Xuan said while holding a chalk and writing related fonts on the blackboard.

When the characters in different scripts appeared on the blackboard, Tao Yuan and Yu Qian were amazed, and their eyes were bright.

“What a beautiful word!”

“You can write such amazing characters with chalk. If you use a brush, I’m afraid it would be better.”

Both of them are expert hands, and they can tell the highs and lows at a glance.

Especially when Chen Xuan writes, he is very natural and fluent. He didn’t deliberately stop for the beauty of the shape of the characters. Everything is natural.

The old man in the courtyard also said, “Good words, good words.” ”

Then, Chen Xuan began to explain some basics of calligraphy to this group of students.

He used some easy-to-understand vernacular, without pretending to be advanced.

The most important thing about lectures is to make them understandable.

If the students do not understand, whether you are a university professor or an expert in a certain field, it is useless. This class is doomed to fail.

“Calligraphy pays attention to form and meaning, but more importantly, it is actually me!”

Chen Xuan’s tone was serious and serious. From the very beginning, the students’ thoughts of coming over to listen to the lectures have become serious listening.

Because they discovered that calligraphy, which they didn’t understand at all, became clear with Chen Xuan’s explanation.

“What is me?”

Chen Xuan asked back and continued: “An ancient calligrapher once said a sentence, he said, “I don’t intend to be good or good.” This sentence means that when writing, the author actually didn’t think about what the audience thinks. It does not even consider whether this is calligraphy. But it does not mean that calligraphy does not seek “good”, but that it should not restrict the natural expression of human nature because of the secular and subjective “good”.”

“Calligraphy, in fact, the core thing is to express what the author wants to express. In terms of content, it can express beauty or ugliness. Therefore, to be precise, the beauty created by calligraphy does not serve the public or the minority, but Serving the writer himself alone, which is what I just said-“I”.”

After finishing this paragraph, Chen Xuan took a sip of water.

Everyone felt a sudden realization.

“Flap!”

Yu Qian and the two clapped involuntarily: “Good point.”

Both of them have studied calligraphy for many years.

People often ask them what calligraphy is.

However, they themselves sometimes do not explain clearly.

Listening to Chen Xuan’s words today, they suddenly felt a sense of understanding.

Yeah, isn’t it the same thing as calligraphy?

It’s not so much about writing for others as it’s about pleasing yourself.

Chen Xuan put down the water, grabbed the plastic bag, and said: “The old saying is good. I don’t practice the fake style. I also brought the four treasures of the study today. I will write a few words for everyone on the spot, and let everyone know A more intuitive feeling.”

“Come on, Brother Chen is going to write!”

“I’m really looking forward to it all day!”

“I was already looking forward to it when I watched Brother Chen write the poem yesterday, and today I specially asked for a morning leave just to watch this!”

“Me too, I saw Brother Chen buying the Four Treasures of the Study, so I decisively asked for leave. As expected, Brother Chen didn’t disappoint me!”

Yu Qian and the two, as well as many people who didn’t come to school and watched with their mobile phones, were also waiting expectantly.

“Click.”

Chen Xuan stacked the chalk boxes together and cleaned up the things on the table.

After cleaning up, it was found that the stage was not big enough, and a piece of rice paper could not be spread at all.

And there are inkstone and ink, and paperweight.

A podium cannot be used at all.

“Ms. Chen, use my desk.”

Yu Qian and the two quickly stood up and patted the long table in front of them.

Chen Xuan noticed that there were still two students of this age in his classroom.

“Thank you.” Chen Xuan nodded and walked over with the four treasures of the study.

“Ms. Chen, use this.”

Tao Yuan and the two opened the bag they were carrying. Chen Xuan looked at them in surprise, took out a roll of rice paper from the plastic bag, and laid it flat on the table.

Then he took out the paperweight from the plastic bag and pressed the two ends of the rice paper, then took out a stone inkstone, took an ink ingot and placed it in the inkstone, and then took out the pen wash and pen holder…

The classmates around are already looking silly.

Chen Xuan is also stupid.

These two, what are you doing?

What a professional group of movements!

“Damn, these two old men also brought the Four Treasures of the Study?”

“This posture is more professional than Brother Chen.”

“Looking at Brother Chen’s expression, I laughed so hard.”

In the courtyard, the old man saw Tao Yuan and the two, raised his eyebrows, and said softly, “Isn’t this Old Tao?”

The young man leaned over and glanced at him: “Grandpa Tao is there too? Why did he go to the class to attend the class?”

“Go to the side, don’t block here.” The old man pushed him away and looked at him again. His eyes widened suddenly, and his breathing was a little short.

He stared at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the screen, and couldn’t help cursing: “Tao Yuan, this bastard, I asked you to borrow this inkstone from you, saying that it is not needed for storage, but today I even took it out for others to use. I’m mad at me!”

“Grandpa, what’s the matter with you?” The young man was startled, and quickly patted the back of the old man, venting his breath for fear of anger.

He glanced at the screen and curiously said: “Just a broken inkstone, as for it?”

“Broken inkstone?” The old man snorted, not curious: “What do you know? This inkstone is enough to buy your car!”

“Fuck!” The young man widened his eyes: “This broken inkstone is worth four million?”

“Hmph.” The old man hugged his arms and didn’t speak, obviously he was irritated by Tao Yuan’s operation.

…

…

“Old gentleman, I’ll do it.” Chen Xuan was embarrassed to get them both.

In my own class, the two old gentlemen were able to study ink and paperweight for themselves.

Tao Yuan smiled and said, “Teacher Chen, it’s okay. Let’s do it. I like to write two pens when there is nothing to do. This is considered a little understanding of calligraphy. The four treasures of the study have been waiting for years. If you want to write well, use pen, ink, paper and inkstone. That can’t be worse.”

“Sit down for a while, and when we are busy, you will write.”

“Hey, that’s a problem for both of you.”

“No trouble.”

The two people don’t find it troublesome. They have been doing this work for half a lifetime, and they are extremely skilled.

Moreover, at such an age, they also have this hobby, and finally met a young man who is likely to form a family in calligraphy. They really can’t wait to see.

Good words must be accompanied by the Four Treasures of Good Study, which is a respect for calligraphy.

“Hey, why does this inkstone look familiar?” A barrage suddenly drifted across the live broadcast room.

[Jumbo Pavilion]: If I didn’t lose sight, this should be the teacher’s inkstone.

“Damn, I really teach Ziyantai!”

“What is a teacher’s inkstone? Don’t play dumb puzzles!”

[Jumbo Pavilion]: The second-place inkstone on the inkstone auction list. This is something from the Qing Dynasty. The full name is Tiandi Gai Canglong Jiaozi inkstone. If I remember correctly, the transaction price should be close to half a million US dollars.

“???”

“This broken stone will cost you half a million dollars?”

“Grass, go crazy!”

“Half million dollars… is three million soft sister coins!”

“You are wrong. When the inkstone was sold, the exchange rate was 1:7.8, which was close to four million.”

“Kneel to the boss!”

“Who is this old man?”

“Any inkstone is worth four million. Isn’t this old man’s net worth several hundred million?”

“Those brushes don’t look like bargains either.”

“What’s so special, I don’t think anything is cheap now, but this writing brush… Sun, is this writing brush?”

There are a total of five pens hanging on the pen holder, and each one is like a work of art.

There are carvings on the pen barrel, and the material is not ordinary wood.

[Jumbo Pavilion]: The first one on the left is a red sandalwood carved dragon and phoenix brush from Ming Wanli. The price should be around 400,000. “Wanli Year System” in a few regular characters. The second one is… the total price of these five brushes is about 3.2 million.

“I knelt…”

“Which tycoon is Jumbo Pavilion? You know everything?”? “It’s like a collection store in Beijing.”

“Crying, four hundred thousand for a writing brush and four million for a stone. How arrogant can you afford to use this?”

“I’m getting scared. If Brother Chen accidentally breaks it later, will these two masters kill Brother Chen?”

“Master Jumbo Pavilion, are there any more? If not, I’m relieved.”

“No, you can breathe a sigh of relief. No matter how expensive the rest is, the rice paper will cost you thousands of dollars.”

[Jumbo Pavilion]: Not necessarily…

“day!”

“What does it mean?”

“Big brother, speak up!”

[Jumbo Pavilion]: Did you see the ink ingots in the inkstone?

“This thing is expensive?”

“I have a bad feeling.”

[Jumbo Pavilion]: The old saying goes, gold is easy to get, but Li Mo is hard to find. “Li Mo” refers to Li Tinggui’s ink in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

“Is this Li Tinggui’s ink?”

“Damn, where is ink? This is antique!”

[Jumbo Pavilion]:? ? ? I just compare it to let you know that ink ingots are expensive. Li Tinggui was from the Song Dynasty, no matter how good Mo is, it is impossible to pass on to this day. This ink ingot is Cao Sugong’s ink ingot.

“What is Cao Sugong?”

[Jumbo Pavilion]: The first of the four famous Huimo masters in the Qing Dynasty, Cao Sugong, a 350-year-old Chinese brand, has a long-standing reputation for its old ink ingots and is the best choice for Tibetan ink. Moreover, Cao Sugong’s ink ingot making skills have also been included in the national intangible cultural heritage list.

“Niu Bian, as an ink ingot, you can be selected as an intangible cultural heritage…”

“It’s called 360 rows, it’s a top pick!”

“I don’t want to know this, I just want to know, how much is this ink ingot! Give me a price, it makes me desperate!”[Jumbo Pavilion]: This set of model shows is the yellow sea mountain map and purple jade light ink. There are also two sets in our store. The original price was 300,000 sets, and later one set was sold for 1.265 million at the auction. pass. If I want to buy it now, I can’t get it.

“10000……”

“What are these two people?”

“If Brother Chen knows that this piece of stuff on the table is so expensive, can he still get it off?”

“Wori, that kid is so courageous, he dare to lean so close!”

“The student on the right is more courageous, he dares to touch the inkstone!”

In just a few minutes, these tens of millions of netizens experienced a long-lost roller coaster experience.

I thought that inkstones and writing brushes were already insurmountable peaks. Whoever wanted to get it, there would be such a king explosion of ink ingots again!

And this explanation from Zhenbaoge was quickly forwarded to the Internet.

#A piece of inkstone is 4 million, an ink is million, and a writing brush is 400,000! #

#陈哥直播间 Jing Xian two senior local tyrants#

#Wear the most common clothes, use the most expensive four treasures of the study#

This incident was really too shocking. It was just posted, and it became a hot search in the blink of an eye.

“Damn it, really or not, so expensive?”

“It’s true, Zhenbaoge personally introduced it.”

“Kneel, calligraphy is indeed a hobby of rich talents.”

“Just ask, who are these two old men?”

“Uh…The one on the left seems to be Tao Yuan, the president of the Magic City Calligraphy Association, and the one on the right seems to be a member of the Calligraphy Association. I don’t remember the specific name. I only know that his wife is a teacher from the Magic City University. It seems to be Qian Yanhong.”

“I’ll go, the president of the Calligraphy Association makes money like this?”

“Chairman Tao’s son has more than a dozen companies to learn about.”

“I was envious of crying, and my eyes were blinded by crying. Which kind person gave me a brush to light up my eyes?”

“If I have money, I can also be the president of the Calligraphy Association.”

“Hehe, what are you dreaming about? President Tao has been the president for more than 30 years. Before his son started his own business, people spent millions on one of his calligraphy. You really think he is relying on it. Did the son achieve the position he is today? He is the real Danqing everyone!”

The explosion of Weibo also caused many netizens to rush towards the live broadcast room frantically.

In the program group, Wang Tao and others are blindfolded.

What happened to this special?

Don’t you want to teach by precept, and prepare to write a few words?

How come two big local tyrants with a net worth of more than 100 million suddenly appeared?

“This… seems to be the president of the Magic Capital Calligraphy Association.” Li Lang checked his mobile phone and compared this to Tao Yuan who was studying ink. He was really the same person.

Concubine Lin blinked and said, “President of the Calligraphy Association, study ink for Chen Xuan?”

The program group fell silent all at once.They suddenly realized that compared with the wealth of these two big men, they came here specially to study ink for Chen Xuan and prepare paper and pen, which is even more surprising.

Excluding their strong wealth, their achievements in the calligraphy world, but coming here to give Chen Xuan a hand… it is enough to make people feel incredible.

However, Chen Xuan did not know the identities of these two at all.

The students in the classroom don’t know.

(Wang Wang Zhao) The students who were close to each other just thought that the inkstone was very beautiful and the brushes were delicate, so they didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.

And seeing someone playing with the brush and touching the inkstone with their fingers, Tao Yuan and the other two did not stop drinking, just smiled and watched.

In front of the screen, after the Weibo round of fermentation, the presidents and members of calligraphy associations across the country were curious to find the live broadcast room.

When I saw the inkstones, brushes, and ink ingots taken out by the two Tao Yuans, the eyes of these famous figures in the calligraphy circle were red.

Such a good four treasures of the study, but placed on such a table, it is simply a violent thing!

Looking at Chen Xuan again, they are even more puzzled.

After all, not everyone saw the words that Chen Xuan wrote yesterday.

Especially they are not young and have limited channels to receive new information.

Watching at this time, these two old friends gave a young boy who was so young, both paperweight, ink research, and pen washing. They couldn’t help but hum lightly, feeling that Chen Xuan was a little unworthy.

But based on their understanding of the two old friends, if this young man had no abilities, he wouldn’t be treated like this.

With this in mind, they have more and more expectations for Chen Xuan, wanting to see how successful this young man is.

“It’s almost there.” Tao Yuan put down the ink ingot and said with a smile: “Today I am afraid of delaying Teacher Chen’s time, so the time will be a little short. Usually I use half-hearted skills to study ink, calmly, and the silent draft is already in my stomach. , Write as if there is a god.”

“Thank you for the two masters.” Chen Xuan looked at Yanmo’s extremely delicate ink and said: “For me, pen, ink, paper and inkstone are no more than a carrier. Calligraphy is still the essence of the spirit, it still depends on it. Whether the shape and meaning are available. As long as you express what you think in your heart and express it through pen and ink, then it is a perfect calligraphy.”

Tao Yuan nodded their heads thoughtfully: “What Teacher Chen said is that the two of me are indeed overly pursuing these materials.”

Chen Xuan smiled slightly, walked to the table, and held a pen in his hand. Wolf Hao dipped the ink in the inkstone. When the pen was full of ink, he would hold it in his hand.

Immediately, he closed his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Tao Yuan and the two immediately condensed and said nothing.

The students in the classroom were also silent.

Tao Yuan knew that Chen Xuan was brewing emotions.

As Chen Xuan said, calligraphy, the important thing is to convey what you think in your heart and the spirit through paper, ink, brush and inkstone, and cast it on rice paper.

The fuller the emotion, the stronger the senses when presented.

I don’t know how long it has passed.

Suddenly, Chen Xuan opened his eyes suddenly.

A gleam of light flickered in his eyes, and Chen Xuan lifted his pen to hang his wrist, and the dragon and snake leaped in the pen.

The momentum that bloomed in that instant made Tao Yuan and the two of them refreshed, breathing involuntarily, and staring at the rice paper tightly, without blinking.
