Chapter 374 Chapter 8
Tang Qiu knew that he had caused the other person to behave like this because he had just shaken his head at the other person's words, so he took the initiative to apologize: "I'm sorry, my actions just now may have made you unhappy, I apologize."
Tang Qiu thought this was not a big deal, so after apologizing, he patted Chen Zi's head and asked, "Who did Chen Zi come with today?"
Seeing that Tang Qiu was not angry, Chen Zi calmed down a lot: "Grandpa. Master, this is my grandpa."
Tang Qiu smiled and greeted Chen Zi's grandfather: "Hello."
Chenzi's grandfather was also very happy: "Hello, hello, you taught Chenzi very well. His handwriting really amazed me."
Meng Qiuyu, who was about to speak, was stopped by the person who brought him here.
What Tang Qiu said just now was right. This is Changyou Garden, Mr. Chen Sanye's place. If they make too much trouble, they can't afford the consequences.
What's more, the person who is talking to Tang Qiu now is the vice president of the Calligraphy Association.
Judging from other people's attitude, it might be me who gets embarrassed.
Although she was very unwilling, Meng Qiuyu still glared at Tang Qiu reluctantly, then took her calligraphy to show her master.
Mr. Li came over and glanced at Meng Qiuyu, then asked Tang Qiu: "Girl, what's wrong?"
That expression was as if she was telling him if she was bullied, he would take care of it for her.
Tang Qiu looked at him and shook his head with a smile: "It's nothing serious, it's all a misunderstanding. By the way, let me introduce you."
Tang Qiu pulled Chen Zi to his side and introduced him to Mr. Li: "This is my apprentice. He kowtowed and drank tea." After that, Tang Qiu said to Chen Zi:
"Chen Zi is called Master Li."
Upon hearing this, Chen Zi obediently called for help.
Seeing this, Mr. Li was not polite and took off the jade ring on his hand: "Come, Grandpa has nothing in his hand now, this is the meeting that Grandpa gave you."
He didn't answer, just looked at Tang Qiu.
The reason why Tang Qiu introduced Chen Zi to Mr. Li was to ask for a gift. How could he not accept it? "Take it."
If they weren't on good terms, Tang Qiu wouldn't have introduced them like this.
Mr. Li looked at Chen Zi who took the things with both hands and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li." His expression looked very satisfied.
"This kid has been well educated."
Tang Qiu smiled proudly: "I taught you."
Seeing Tang Qiu like this, Mr. Li couldn't help but laugh: "You are really not modest."
Unexpectedly, Chen Zi nodded seriously and said, "Master taught me that."
Seeing this, Mr. Li laughed even louder.
In this calligraphy competition, apart from the old man sitting in the front who was about the same age as Mr. Li, Mr. Li just went over to chat with that old man.
The rest were basically under 40 or 50 years old. Even Chen Zi's grandfather was only in his 50s.
But that doesn't mean these people don't know Mr. Li. After all, he is very keen to participate in this kind of activities.
Because of this, Tang Qiu's status also rose a lot.
Soon, the voting for the competition ended. Since it was a friendly match, the rankings wouldn't be so awkward.
However, there is still a top ten.
To Tang Qiu's surprise, Chen Zi's calligraphy ranked eighth.
"Cheating! How could he be the eighth when he is only seven or eight years old? You must have done this on purpose to please this old man."
When the master wasn't paying attention, Meng Qiuyu spoke directly out what was in his mind.
This statement immediately made everyone present very angry.
Because the purpose of this friendly match is to make everyone progress together, and at the same time, it can also provide a condition to sell your calligraphy for a good price. Not everyone has better conditions. This is a good opportunity and everyone cherishes it.
Of course, only the top ten people’s calligraphy works are eligible to be sold. So everyone works very hard for this.
What Chen Sanye hates most is cheating and lying. If you want to get into the top ten, then work hard.
Similarly, if you feel sorry for others, you can either not participate in the competition or lower your own standards, which is fine. The only thing is that the voting environment must be free of fraud.
Therefore, from the beginning of this activity till now, there has never been any cheating. But today, a girl said that they were cheating in voting, which is unacceptable to anyone.
The oldest man in the competition walked up to Meng Qiuyu and said, "If you think anyone is cheating, please point it out. If you think someone's work is not up to standard, please point it out. If you can't point it out, you will not be allowed to step in here in the future!"
Meng Qiuyu was shocked, and Meng Qiuyu's master regretted it to death.
If he hadn't taken money from her family, he wouldn't have brought her here.
Now it’s all right, it’s so awkward: “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s my fault for not educating her well enough. It’s her first time here, she’s not sensible, I’m sorry.”
Unexpectedly, Meng Qiuyu felt that he was right, and pointed at Chen Zi and said, "Everyone present here has studied calligraphy for decades. I don't believe that you can't even beat a kid who's only a few years old! I'm afraid he can't even hold his own now? Why is he the eighth?"
Before Tang Qiu could say anything, Chen Zi's grandfather was already unwilling: "Student, how can you say something that you haven't verified? Have you ever seen Chen Zi's handwriting?"
Meng Qiuyu said confidently: "You know it even if you don't see it. Even if you give him another ten years, he..."
Tang Qiu said directly: "If he is given ten years, no one here can surpass him!"
After that, Tang Qiu said to Chen Zi: "Go over and get the words you wrote yourself."
Chen Zi nodded and ran over to get his calligraphy.
This time, Tang Qiu was really murderous. She placed Chen Zi's words next to Meng Qiuyu's words.
"Since you are still copying other people's handwriting, can you tell the difference between these two pieces of calligraphy?"
Meng Qiuyu glared at Tang Qiu fiercely: "You, you are going too far."
Tang Qiu smiled: "It seems that you know a little bit about the basics of calligraphy. At least you feel that your handwriting is not as good as Chen Zi's."
At Chen Zi’s age, he really couldn’t write a poem about the wind.
So, he just wrote a big word "wind" on a piece of paper.
People who know calligraphy know that large characters look very imposing, and this imposingness can immediately attract people's attention, which is its advantage. However, large-character calligraphy also has disadvantages, mainly in the brushwork. If the writer has strong brushwork skills, there is no problem in writing large-character calligraphy. If the brushwork skills are weak, writing large-character calligraphy often exposes one's weaknesses. If the writing is not good, it is easy to expose one's weaknesses.
Although Chen Zi's character is a little immature, his writing is very steady and has its own artistic conception. The key point is that this "wind" is not just a word. It is more like a painting.
