Chapter 83: Using the Red Mansion to Practice Calligraphy
After saying this, Su Changan turned around and walked towards the study.
But after taking two steps, he looked at Zhou Qianhong and said, "I'll write a letter. I'll trouble you to deliver it to Su Liheng in the Su Mansion later."
Zhou Qianhong clasped her fists, but still felt a little confused when she looked at Su Changan.
She also heard the advertisement just mentioned.
but.
What is 'advertisement'?
Looking at Yan Ruyu, Yan Ruyu was even more confused than her.
Returned to the study.
Su Changan picked up the pen impatiently and began to write a letter to Su Liheng.
The main thing is to make good use of this "Queen Mother Effect".
Su Changan had known before that whatever the palace liked, the people below would embrace and follow it.
In fact, Su Changan had learned some of this when he was reading miscellaneous history books in his previous life. For example, some emperors liked to fight crickets, and cricket fighting became popular among the people. Others liked to play Go, and it became even more popular among the people.
Although there are some reasons for currying favor with the higher-ups.
But one thing is certain.
The trends of the times actually changed according to the preferences of the nobles in the palace.
Although the history of this world is not like that of the previous life, Su Changan had heard Xun Kuang and others mention a former queen before.
Because people liked to use Qingsongdai to draw eyebrows, the price of this eyebrow rouge from Shuchuan soared in the market.
There is even a saying: "One ounce of gold is worth half an ounce of pine."
The Queen Mother is not the Queen
But after all, he is one of the most important noblemen seen in the world today.
Such a person comes to me and says that his rouge is nice and he wants to use it often in the future, but he doesn't use it flexibly.
Hold a pen.
After Su Changan thought about it, he started writing.
Yan Ruyu also walked into the study, watched Su Changan writing, and walked over out of curiosity.
But when he saw what Su Changan wrote, he was a little stunned, but immediately looked at Su Changan: "This is not a good idea."
Su Changan shook his head: "I thought about it, it should be fine."
Yan Ruyu pursed her lips, not knowing what to say, but looked at Su Changan, thought for a moment and said, "Why don't you tell His Majesty?"
Su Changan shook his head again: "I didn't deceive the emperor or offend the queen mother. She said my rouge was good and she wanted to use it. I didn't make it up."
Hearing this
Yan Ruyu looked at Su Changan and felt a little amused, but she also felt that what Su Changan said made sense.
In fact, there are people who do business like this among the people. Whenever a noble person buys something from them, they will start by saying that a certain noble person likes to eat this kind of thing, in order to gain other people's attention.
But, after all, they were just some ministers or princes.
But now Su Changan wants to use the Queen Mother.
Su Changan looked at Yan Ruyu and asked, "What do you think of my advertising slogan?"
Yan Ruyu looked at this so-called advertising slogan and didn't know what to say, but finally said: "I'm afraid she will really be angry, especially since the Queen Mother has been extremely angry about the things that happened in the court these days. If this is the case..."
Su Changan shook his head nonchalantly: "Anger or something, it will just go away after a while."
After saying that, Su Changan looked at Yan Ruyu and said with a smile: "Besides, I feel like she's already used to being angry every day."
Yan Ruyu didn't know what to say.
And Su Changan looked at his own advertising slogan.
The more you look at it, the better it gets.
Although it is a bit straightforward, advertising slogans should be straightforward so that they are easy to remember.
Yan Ruyu looked at Su Changan and sighed.
But he did not try to stop it anymore, because it really didn't matter anymore, especially since the Queen Mother came today to establish her authority.
Even if His Majesty knew about this, he would probably be directly angry at what the Queen Mother did today.
Su Changan had already started writing the letter at this time.
The content of the letter, of course, was to tell Su Liheng how to use this advertisement.
There is also the matter of the name of the Rouge Shop.
Finish writing the letter.
Su Changan was naturally handed over to Zhou Qianhong.
After handing it to Zhou Qianhong, although she wondered whether Su Liheng could do it, she remembered that what she had explained in the letter was very clear.
I'm too lazy to think about it anymore and will just wait for Su Liheng's reply.
After that, I stopped wasting time and thought about starting today's calligraphy practice.
I am still copying one of the calligraphy pieces given to me by Master Yao.
However, just as he thought, while practicing calligraphy, he also practiced the mantra of [Yiweiting] martial arts.
But it was just a piece of writing.
Su Changan frowned because he found that the word was becoming increasingly difficult to write.
What was supposed to be done in one go could not be done in one go due to the breathing method.
When practicing calligraphy, there is a certain place where writing in other places will start to feel awkward.
Su Changan wrote a piece of calligraphy. Although he felt helpless, he thought that his idea would not work.
So I simply stopped working on [Yi Wei Ting] and instead planned to continue copying the calligraphy.
Although Yan Ruyu is sometimes stupid, she is still very smart in martial arts. She could see some of it when she saw Su Changan struggling just now.
So looking at Su Changan, he said, "Although I don't know the tricks of copying calligraphy, but if you think about it carefully, calligraphy is something written by others. The breathing, rhythm, and power of the pen must be consistent with that person's writing at the time. Only then can you copy it similarly, and then apply what you have learned to turn it into something suitable for yourself."
"It's just like learning sword techniques. My mother always said that sword techniques are static, but people are alive. You can't just trust sword techniques. If you want to create your own sword techniques or moves, it's better not to learn them. It's more convenient to fight with others and create your own."
"It's OK to use Yi Wei Ting to swing the knife, because there is no set method for swinging the knife, and you can do whatever you want, so it's free and easy. But now you are copying someone else's calligraphy, and you want to use Yi Wei Ting to cater to what others have already created. I think it's a bit contradictory, so it's so difficult."
Su Changan looked up at Yan Ruyu, thought about it, and felt that it made sense.
But he lowered his head to look at the calligraphy, then frowned: "If I use [Yi Wei Ting] to practice calligraphy, it would be best to write my own characters, right?"
Yan Ruyu nodded and did not deny it.
Su Changan looked down at the paper, took the copybook away, picked up the pen again, thought for a moment, and tried to write the word "木".
It doesn't look good.
But it is indeed much more comfortable than copying calligraphy.
Especially when Su Changan tried to write a few other words in one go, they still looked a little ugly at first glance.
but.
Compared to writing other characters myself, this one is a little ugly.
Look at the words I wrote.
Su Changan thought about the rhythm and strength of swinging the knife.
So, thinking about the feeling I had when swinging the knife, I wrote down the three words "Yan Ruyu".
After I finished writing, I took a look at it and found that it felt a little different than before.
Still ugly though.
However, when Su Changan looked at the three words "Yan Ruyu", he seemed to think of something and wrote the three words "Yan Ruyu" again.
This time, less force was used.
But it feels different.
Su Changan could feel that it was not because of [Yiweiting].
Rather
He seemed to sense something, but it was a little vague.
Yan Ruyu looked at Su Changan's sudden behavior and didn't dare to speak or disturb him. She just looked at her name written on the paper.
She could feel the different feeling of Su Changan's writing these times.
but.
Why are the three characters 'Yan Ruyu' written so 'fat'?
I'm obviously not fat!
Yan Ruyu looked at Su Changan somewhat depressed.
But he didn't dare to speak out, because it was obvious that Su Changan was thinking of something at the moment.
When it comes to martial arts, the most taboo is interruption, the most impatient is taking shortcuts, and the most lacking is perception.
On Su Changan's side, he looked at the few words he had written.
After thinking for a while, he wrote "Yan Ruyu" again. This time, he used less force than before, and the tip of the pen just touched it lightly.
The 'Yan Ruyu' I wrote down this time seemed light and powerless.
Su Changan was stunned.
He wrote the three words "Yan Ruyu" again. This time, he used more strength and tried his best to write with the tip of the pen.
But it’s a little difficult, and sometimes it’s inevitable to write too much.
However, one can see the strength of the brushstrokes in the written words.
Looking at these, Su Changan repeatedly wrote the three characters "Yan Ruyu" dozens of times. Every time he wrote, he felt the rhythm of his breathing when swinging the knife, relying on the feeling of [Yi Wei Ting] and writing along with the flow.
The font of each 'Yan Ruyu' is different, and the feeling is also completely different.
Su Changan frowned: "I feel like I understand what Aunt Yan wants me to do, but it doesn't feel right. However, the words I write like this seem to be much better than before. At least the pen tip feels sharper. What do you think, Yu'er?"
He raised his eyes and looked at Yan Ruyu.
Yan Ruyu was seen with a frown on her face, looking melancholy.
Looking at Yan Ruyu like this, Su Changan asked: "You are a little disrespectful to me, it's not that ugly! I feel that today I used [Yi Wei Ting] and thought about using the breathing rhythm when swinging the knife. The words I wrote are much more beautiful than those shown to the cat."
Yan Ruyu raised her eyes to look at Su Changan, thought for a moment and asked, "Am I really fat?"
Su Changan was puzzled: "What?"
Yan Ruyu frowned and said, "Miss, every time you write my name, it gets fatter."
Su Changan suddenly realized and looked down, only then he noticed that he seemed to have written it a little too wide, especially the word "玉".
He smiled helplessly: "I wrote this unconsciously. You are not fat at all. You are thinner than Zhou Qianhong."
Hearing this, Yan Ruyu's brows relaxed and she felt much more open-minded.
But looking at Yan Ruyu's appearance, Su Changan thought about what the Empress and Aunt Yan said about her gaining weight. It was obvious that the deputy commander was still thinking about it.
And if you think about it carefully, Yan Ruyu seems to have eaten much less recently. She used to eat more than twenty fried dumplings in one go, but now she only eats five or six.
So, she smiled and said, "Don't be sad, Yu'er is not fat at all. Whoever said you were fat was just jealous of you. I will make you fried dumplings with meat filling later."
Yan Ruyu was amused by Su Changan's coaxing tone, but she looked down at the words Su Changan had written and ignored everything else.
It was just the feeling the font gave her.
The momentum is building.
Just like swinging a knife today.
Although the handwriting is still ugly, it is really unique this time.
So after thinking for a while, he said, "I don't know what mother wants you to realize, but since she asked you to practice writing with the sword, I think there must be a reason, so why not write for a day or two and see? Now there are only a few words, and I can't tell anything."
Hearing this
Su Changan looked down at the paper. What Yan Ruyu said made sense.
If you were to write it yourself, what would you write?
When I copied calligraphy before, it was just copying, and I didn’t worry about what I wrote.
Copy poetry?
This method is feasible, but when I think about the long time I have to spend writing every day, if I were to copy poems, those poems would probably be gone soon.
Copying books?
Think of this.
Su Changan thought about it.
Why not copy "Dream of the Red Chamber"?
Although I didn't remember it completely, I read "Dream of the Red Chamber" many times to complete my homework because it was an elective course in college.
So, I am very clear about the stories in each episode.
As for the parts that need to be changed, there are not many.
But when I think about the fact that this world is different from that world, it doesn’t seem to matter whether it is changed or not.
After all, according to what Su Changan knew, this world was completely different from the Three Kingdoms period in his previous life.
Thinking like this
Su Changan changed a new paper for a chapter, thought for a while, and while operating [Yiwei Ting], he recalled the feeling of swinging the knife. Combining the two, Su Changan began to write.
Chapter 1: Zhen Shiyin's Dream Recognition.
Yan Ruyu looked at Su Changan and said no more. She just started grinding the ink silently. When it was almost done, she sat aside, not making a sound and not daring to disturb Su Changan.
…
The Su Mansion, the third son of the Su family, Young Master Su, is now a popular figure in the entire capital.
Especially those noble ladies, girls from wealthy families, and talented women, all of them were trying to curry favor with Su Liheng.
Some people who had connections even approached Su Liu and Su Zifeng's wife Su Zhang for help.
only
At that moment, Su Liheng was still lying on the bed.
Why are you applying rouge?
Because of this, Su Liheng felt that he had lost a lot of money, although he asked his subordinates to continue promoting and selling the product.
But since he wasn't watching it personally, he felt like he was at a disadvantage.
Especially since the eldest sister helped him get the mark of the imperial merchant, it made him feel that he couldn't just lie there any longer.
But unfortunately, when Su Zifeng dealt with him that day, he was too cruel, and his butt is still swollen. Not to mention putting on pants, it hurts so much that he can't even walk a few steps.
But now
Looking at the letter Su Changan wrote to him, Su Liheng took a breath.
Looking at her mother, Su Zhang said, "Mom, our elder sister is amazing! She is amazing in our family, and now she has entered the palace, she is amazing."
Su Zhang was helping Su Liheng apply the medicine, but Su Liheng was looking at the letter in his hand, moving here and there, making Su Zhang unable to concentrate on applying the medicine.
Especially now, he had been startled so many times that Su Zhang was so angry that she slapped Su Liheng on the butt.
Su Liheng screamed in pain, but as he looked at the letter in his hand, which he had read countless times, he seemed to have forgotten the pain.
Especially looking at the words on the letter, although ugly, but in his eyes, they are all silver.
Especially looking at the so-called advertising slogan: "The Queen Mother said it is good after using it and wants to continue using it."
It's not something that someone as talented as my elder sister could say.
But if you think about it carefully, you will find that these are the words that a truly talented person can come up with.
Simple, direct, and to the point!
Especially one word in this advertisement.
Su Liheng looked at the words and the sentence, and then looked at his mother: "Mom, it is said that my elder sister is very talented in writing. Is this something that ordinary people can think of?"
Su Zhang rolled her eyes.
But just as he was about to speak, he turned around and saw Su Wan'er and Su Zhaoxin standing at the door. He immediately said with a smile, "Why are you standing at the door? Come in."
Su Zhaoxin and Su Wan'er walked in and greeted Su Zhang.
Su Zhaoxin came over without any hesitation.
Su Wan'er was standing at the door, too embarrassed to go in. After all, Su Liheng was applying the medicine with his bare butt, and he couldn't be seen from the door.
Su Liheng was thick-skinned enough, but he was thin-skinned in front of Su Wan'er and Su Linhan. He immediately pulled the quilt and covered them, then said with a smile: "Why are you here?"
Su Wan'er said, "It was said that my elder sister sent a letter, and I wondered if she mentioned me, so I came to ask."
Su Liheng immediately looked behind the letter after hearing this, and then said with a smile: "Big sister asked you to wear something thicker when you study at night. Don't think that you can study in thin clothes just because there is a floor heater. It will be counterproductive if you catch a cold."
Su Wan'er grinned: "Yeah!"
Su Zhaoxin looked at Su Liheng expectantly.
Su Liheng looked at the letter, searched for it, and then asked, "If I say that big sister didn't write you, will you cry?"
Su Zhaoxin nodded: "Yes."
Su Liheng said directly: "Then cry."
Su Zhaoxin said that he felt a little aggrieved, and tears were about to flow out of the corners of his eyes.
Su Zhang heard this and slapped him again: "How can you tease your brother like this? How can you not write down someone like the eldest girl?"
Su Liheng cried out in pain again, and then immediately said: "I've written it, I've written it. If you are asked to learn something, then study it seriously. Don't learn this and that. In the end, you will know everything but be good at nothing and won't be able to do anything."
When Su Zhaoxin heard this, his grievance disappeared all of a sudden, and he grinned, showing satisfaction.
However, Su Liheng looked at the letter and saw that the elder sister mentioned how to use the queen mother's fame for advertising, and also told Su Liheng to do it without worry.
Su Liheng considered it carefully.
no!
I can't lie there any longer!
He jumped out of the bed immediately. Although it hurt, he knew that opportunity cannot be missed, so he had to do it no matter how painful it was.
However, Su Liheng's sudden jumping out of bed scared Su Wan'er. The little girl turned her head immediately, luckily she really didn't see anything.
Su Zhang was also shocked and immediately said, "What are you going to do now?"
Su Liheng gnashed his teeth in pain, but he just endured it, and then a few words came out from between his teeth: "If I lie down again, I will be sorry for my elder sister, sorry for the queen mother, and even more sorry for those women who are waiting for Yanzhi, and even more sorry for the silver!"
Having said this, he put on his pants and ran outside.
Only Su Zhang was left with a confused look on her face.
Su Zhaoxin looked at Su Liheng's back, then looked at Su Zhang and said, "Third aunt, how about we find a doctor to check Third Brother's brain?"
Su Wan'er on the side covered her eyes with her hands, but the gaps between her fingers were so big that you could see her eyes.
When he heard his brother's words, he nodded: "Yeah, that's right."
…
In Lingqi Pavilion, Su Changan finally finished writing.
The table was full of papers, and Yan Ruyu was sitting on one side. When Su Changan finished writing, she took them aside to dry in the sun, and then folded them up after the ink had dried.
At the moment, it has become a bit thick.
However, I have only written up to the eighth chapter.
But when I looked up, I found that it was dark.
When he looked over again, he saw the empress lying on the side of the window. She poked her head out and looked at him with blinking eyes.
The empress smiled and said, "Is it over?"
Su Changan smiled helplessly and nodded: "Yeah."
The empress immediately said, "Come and eat. I heard that you only had one meal today. I'd rather starve you to death. Come quickly."
…………
Ps: The updated chapters will be changed to two updates a day, one chapter will have five to six thousand words, and the number of words updated daily will remain unchanged.
