Chapter 20
"Yun Wan, is this the calligraphy you taught Chang Gong and Brother Qing to practice?"
Everyone in Yushou Hall could tell that the old lady's tone was not good.
"yes."
Lin Yunwan's face was calm, not afraid or panicked.
Mrs. Lu asked doubtfully: "I think ordinary people learn calligraphy by writing stroke by stroke. Why do you want them to draw horizontal lines every day?"
"Many famous calligraphy masters practice this way."
Lin Yunwan said lightly.
Mrs. Lu was dubious, and her tone seemed to be asking Lin Yunwan for advice: "What is the significance of this writing method?"
Lin Yunwan briefly described the characteristics of "Bamboo Branch Tie" and the final effect it can achieve.
"Start by writing horizontally to feel the strength of the stroke, and then train the stability and flexibility of the wrist. That's the difficult part."
What's more difficult?
How else does she want to embarrass brother Qing?
Mrs. Lu asked solemnly: "What is the origin of this method of practicing calligraphy?"
"Wang Xizhi, have you ever heard of it?"
"Of course!" Mrs. Lu said: "This is a master of calligraphy in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Who doesn't know it?"
Lin Yunwan said eloquently: "Three Points into the Wood tells the story of Wang Xizhi's calligraphy practice."
"He paid great attention to wrist control exercises. When it came to practicing calligraphy, he was not only diligent and obsessive, but also learned how to practice calligraphy from worldly affairs. He once observed the posture of a white goose and understood how to use a pen."
"In the eyes of others, it may seem like you have done something weird, but in fact you are studying hard."
Only then did Mrs. Lu realize that she was ignorant and felt a little embarrassed.
Lin Yunwan continued: "Our ancestors of the Lin family learned this method of practicing calligraphy."
"It looks weird, but it's very useful."
"If you can persist in practicing day after day, within ten years, you will be like the masters of calligraphy. The power of your written words can be seen from the back of the paper, and they are vigorous and sophisticated."
"As the old lady can see, the words written by the long bow have begun to bear fruit."
Mrs. Lu took a breath of air.
According to Lin Yunwan, Brother Qing's hard training has just begun, and his hard days are still to come.
But the child is already tired and sick now, and he is afraid that he will be even more tired in the future. What’s so big about this!
Ge Baoer was also frightened.
This method of practice is completely unheard of, and it will take another ten years!
This is not teaching children at all, this is clearly making excuses to abuse them.
She didn't dare to leave her son to Lin Yunwan for such a hard time.
Mrs. Lu looked at Lu Changgong's calligraphy and then at Brother Qing's handwriting. She couldn't help but ask, "Can Brother Qing write such beautiful calligraphy now?"
"cannot."
Lin Yunwan answered too simply.
Mrs. Lu felt a sense of perfunctory, and her heart suddenly became angry. She frowned and said, "Yun Wan, whether I hand over the Lu family to you or hand over the two children to you, I am very relieved."
"If you really don't want to teach Brother Qing, the government won't force you, just hire another teacher. He is the brother of the government. How can you, the eldest mother-in-law, beat around the bush to hurt his body and ruin his body?" His future?"
Lin Yunwan has been married to the Lu family for so many years, and this is the first time that the old lady has been embarrassed by her granddaughter-in-law in front of her servants!
The old lady was really angry this time.
Yan's mother was afraid that the matter would not end, so she quickly came over to persuade her in a low voice: "Old Madam, I went to deliver brochures to Madam late at night last time, and Madam was still grading homework for the two young masters. There is no credit but hard work..."
Mrs. Lu's expression did not improve.
However, Lin Yunwan just said calmly: "Old Madam, let's take a look at their homework first."
She glanced outside and saw that two smart maids were already waiting, and... Lu Changgong!
Why is this child here?
She looked at him in surprise.
Without thinking too much, Lin Yunwan shouted: "Taoye, come in."
"My slave is here."
Taoye came in with an arm full of rice paper and walked to Mrs. Lu.
Two stacks of rice paper of different thicknesses are placed separately on the table.
Madam Lu was confused: "What is this?"
Taoye lowered his head and said: "Back to the old lady, this is the homework that the eldest young master and the second young master practiced in the past day."
Mrs. Lu was stunned.
The pile on the left is as thick as a city wall, while the pile on the right is almost thinner than toilet paper.
Madam Lu pressed down the thick pile first.
"this……"
Taoye: "This is exactly what Master Changgong wrote."
Mrs. Lu's eyes widened.
Lu Changgong wrote so many pieces of paper in one day?
Not to mention Ge Baoer, Yan's mother didn't believe it, and both of them looked surprised.
Mrs. Lu's face was tense, and she went to look at the rice papers with her own hands.
It should be said that some people are really talented. Just a horizontal line is drawn very beautifully, and when you turn over the rice paper one by one, you can almost see the progress.
She mumbled and didn't say a word for a long time.
Lin Yunwan said calmly: "Old Madam, take a look at Brother Qing's homework again."
Of course Mrs. Lu also had to look through it...
There are less than ten pictures, and the differences are visible to the eye - they are not horizontal lines drawn by one person at all. How could something written by an older boy be the same as that of a child?
Brother Qing actually asked the boy to do his homework for him!
"The teacher leads me in. Cultivation depends on the individual. Long Gong writes well, which is the result he deserves. If Brother Qing can write as well as Long Gong... With such a talent, he should be my teacher."
Lin Yunwan's bright eyes were calm and calm.
Mrs. Lu felt a sense of ridicule.
Her arrogance diminished a bit, and she was silent for a while before saying, "Then you shouldn't be tired and sick, Brother Qing, he is just a child after all."
Lin Yunwan thought it was ridiculous: "You only did so little homework and you got tired and sick? It's really unheard of!"
The woman at the second door happened to come over and send a message: "Old madam, the doctor has checked Young Master Qing's pulse."
"How is he?"
Mrs. Lu's heart tightened.
Ge Baoer's heart was in his throat.
The mother-in-law hesitated: "Master Qing, he, he..."
Mrs. Lu said impatiently: "Tell me, how is he? Does it matter? Is he tired and sick, or is he suffering from wind, cold, and heat?"
"Back to Madam, Master Qing is not sick. What the doctor said was not what the slave said!"
The mother-in-law felt ashamed after saying this.
As soon as the Lu family heard that Master Qing was sick and how busy the front and back yards were, they invited five doctors to come and see him, but he turned out to be pretending to be sick!
Everyone was speechless.
"Then why did his servant say that he was tired and sick?"
Mrs. Lu frowned, completely confused. How dare a mere boy deceive her?
The mother-in-law brought the young man over, and the young man replied warily: "Old, old madam, Master Qing said so himself... The younger one is... just..." Just according to what Master Qing said, where is he? Do you know whether Master Qing is really ill or fake?
The old lady's face was ashen.
She pretended to be sick and blamed her aunt.
None of her sons or grandsons have ever looked like this! Even a concubine is not so naughty.
How did Ge Baoer teach Brother Qing before? How did you teach him to be like this!
Hearing this, Ge Baoer couldn't hold back his anger.
What a powerful mistress, all she said was talking about Brother Qing's fault as a child!
She, Lin Yunwan, did nothing wrong at all?
Brother Mingming Qing's performance was very outstanding when he was studying in the countryside, but why did he become so bad under Lin Yunwan's hands?
Ge Baoer took a step forward and said: "Students are all different. It doesn't matter if younger students are naughty. I have heard someone say that different methods should be used to teach different students. As long as the teacher is willing to teach If you have a good heart, there are no students who can’t be taught well.”
To put it bluntly, it's just Lin Yunwan who refuses to teach with all his heart.
