Metropolis: Paying Off The Debt of Dad At The Start

Chapter 196

As soon as he entered the house, two young people like apprentices asked Zheng Qiang if he had an invitation letter.

Zheng Qiang took out the invitation letter, handed it over, and then went in.

After entering, a large courtyard was surrounded by dozens of tables, each with a variety of calligraphy, and many people around were watching and talking.

Zheng Qiang also watched with relish, and talked with the crowd of onlookers from time to time.

After chatting, Zheng Qiang gradually relaxed completely. After all, no one knew him here, and no one greeted him. Everyone’s identity is calligraphy lovers who came here from the south and the north, everyone gathered together. , To discuss calligraphy here, it’s fun.

While a bunch of people were talking about calligraphy, suddenly, a chubby middle-aged man walked over.

“Thank you all for participating in this calligraphy conference of our Yangchun Academy. In this calligraphy conference, we can not only appreciate the outstanding works of our local calligraphy masters and discuss the mysteries of calligraphy, but we will also hold a more interesting calligraphy competition. !”

“It can not only add to everyone’s fun, but also show off their own calligraphy style by the way, so as to facilitate everyone’s future discussion and exchanges, learning and progress!”

“Of course, the competition always has a lottery to be interesting, right? So, for this calligraphy competition, we have prepared 10 small mysterious prizes. We won’t go into details here and see who can win Get in the top ten and win mystery prizes!”

The middle-aged man laughed.

“good!”

Hearing the words of the middle-aged man, there was a round of applause. Everyone expressed their willingness to join, and Zheng Qiang was completely relieved when he heard that there were 10 prizes. After all, 10 prizes are definitely not expensive prizes. These are small gifts worth a few hundred yuan, otherwise there could not be 10 on this occasion.

Therefore, Zheng Qiang does not matter. Since everyone has joined one after another, it doesn’t hurt to join in and play, it’s nothing more than a game.

“Well, since everyone is willing to join, let me talk about the rules of the game for our calligraphy competition!”

“Everyone draws a pair of upper lianlian, and confronts the second lianlian, and then writes it down personally!”

“Then we select one by one, and the top ten contestants with the highest scores will receive our mysterious prizes!”

“Okay, please start with everyone!”

As he said, the middle-aged man patted his palms, one by one, the scrolls tied with a red string were picked up.

Each scroll is a pair of upper couplets, and the contestants have to write the corresponding lower couplets on the other scroll, which not only examines everyone’s literary level, but also examines everyone’s calligraphy level.

As a calligraphy lover, Zheng Qiang is no stranger to couplets. Besides, this is just a little puzzle game, so he happily participated in it.

After receiving a scroll, I saw that the Shanglian was “800 miles northwest, the waves are rolling, the waves are rolling, and there are two jade belts floating down.”

This can be regarded as a well-known couplet from the ages, and there are many kinds of pairings about this couplet.

Immediately, Zheng Qiang groaned for a moment, then he took a brush and wrote on the scroll-“Wushan twelve peaks, heavy clouds, fog, and a bunch of dewdrops.”

After writing the big pen, Zheng Qiang looked at his masterpiece, smiled slightly, and then put the brush on the counter.

After decades of immersing in calligraphy, he is naturally very confident in his calligraphy!

It’s like a person who has a hobby for many years. For this hobby, he has put in a lot of effort and spent a lot of time. He himself appreciates his hobby level very much, if he is scornful of his hobby level. It is impossible to persist for so many years.

In psychology, this is called super-self-cognition.

This is a weakness in his heart. He needs others to make a very good evaluation of his hobbies for so many years. Even if it is a bit exaggerated, he will gladly accept it. If others make a bad or slightly injustice, it does not reach him. Evaluation of psychological expectations, he will be very angry.

The principle law firm also designed this bureau based on Zheng Qiang’s weakness in his heart.

Soon, everyone put down their brushes, and the game was over.

The middle-aged man took two calligraphy masters in his 60s and 70s, and began to select them one by one.

Everything seems to be normal.

As time passed, several judges gradually came to Zheng Qiang’s table.

Looking at Zheng Qiang’s next couplet, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but exclaimed: “Oh, it’s beautiful, it’s really beautiful. Look at the calligraphy everyone for decades!”

The praise from strangers made Zheng Qiang feel very useful, his complexion was ruddy and his heart was refreshed.

If this is praised by acquaintances, it may also have a bit of identity. It is not very fair and unreasonable, but it is strangers that you don’t know and praise from passers-by, which makes Zheng Qiang feel very fair and fair, and makes Zheng Qiang feel very comfortable.

“The twelve peaks of Wushan Mountain, heavy clouds, foggy, a bunch of dewdrops, mountain peaks, clouds, dewdrops, tusk tusk, this couplet is good, it has a lot of mood!”

“Not only that, but this character is also very well written. The pen is strong, the bones are strong, but it is like falling paper and clouds, with various changes, superb and mysterious, and with a little fairy dew and pearl gesture to make the words more beautiful. Smooth, beautiful Fengshen!”

The two elders on the side also gave constant praise and appraisal to Zheng Qiang’s various advantages of Xianlian.

As long as there are advantages, give him a comment. If you can praise a few words, you can praise him to the sky. As for the shortcomings, as long as they are not too obvious, they can not mention them, and they can cover up. Just cover up.

This is the middle-aged man who gave them these two calligraphy masters in advance.

But Zheng Qiang doesn’t know at all. What he listens to is called a whole body refreshing. After all, people are talking about the advantages of his calligraphy, not to talk about it indiscriminately. In other words, to watch Zheng Qiang. Come, people really appreciate his calligraphy.

Who doesn’t hope that his hobbies for decades will be praised by others in a fair and just manner. Therefore, Zheng Qiang can be said to be very comfortable to hear.

Immediately afterwards, a few guests came from the crowd, pointing at Zheng Qiang’s calligraphy, and applauding all kinds of praises, and the one who praised Zheng Qiang was aloof and ecstatic.

Finally, the calligraphy of all the contestants has been evaluated, and the competition is over here.

Mystery prizes will be distributed next.

And Zheng Qiang was also unsurprisingly selected into the top ten of the contestants and qualified for the mysterious prize.

Soon, middle-aged men began to give out mysterious prizes to the top ten.

Each person has an ancient celebrity calligraphy and painting, a total of ten ancient celebrity calligraphy and painting.

Zheng Qiang also got a copy. He looked at Wu Daozi, the person who had been paying for it, and he was taken aback. Wu Daozi was a master of calligraphy in the Ming Dynasty.

“Is this the real thing?” Zheng Qiang couldn’t help asking one of the winners beside him.

“What you think is pretty beautiful, how could it be real, they are all fakes, you see, I am still Tang Bohu’s mum?” A winner next to him holding his hand inscribed Tang Bohu’s calligraphy and painting, joking at Zheng Qiang. Said with a smile.

“Hahahaha…, that’s what I said!” Zheng Qiang couldn’t help but laughed at his own whimsical idea, and then he didn’t think much about it and accepted it with pleasure.

After all, the 10 paintings in the hands of the big guys are all top celebrities’ calligraphy and paintings. How could this be real? Then the main board party can’t spend hundreds of millions of dollars, naturally all of them are fakes.

To get a fake calligraphy and painting, a small mysterious prize worth a few hundred dollars, Zheng Qiang, who was very happy to participate in this calligraphy conference, was regarded as a worthwhile trip and a fun souvenir. .
