Chapter 51: Enemies always meet on a narrow road (1 update)
Most of them were praising Luo Qingying for her good handwriting. At such a young age, her calligraphy skills were not inferior to those of the famous contemporary calligraphers.
The key point was that it was obvious that she had a family background in calligraphy. She had been influenced by it since she was a child. Luo Qingying had the temperament of a scholarly family. In addition, she showed off her skills appropriately, which immediately attracted praise from the whole audience.
Sang Yian finally squeezed to the front and saw the beautiful regular script. The handwriting was neat and tidy, and every stroke was very methodical. This must have been practiced systematically, and practiced according to extremely strict requirements, otherwise it would be impossible to write such neat and beautiful characters.
This calligraphy is indeed beautiful, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to write it without systematic practice for a few years.
From this perspective, Luo Qingying is indeed amazing and worthy of everyone's praise.
However, this calligraphy is too regular and looks a bit rigid. Sang Yian doesn't like this kind of formal writing.
She also learned regular script since she was young. When she was young, she also wrote neatly and beautifully. Every small square was written very dignified, and the teacher always praised her for this.
However, after resigning, she picked it up again. Maybe her mood changed, or maybe she had experienced a sudden death, which made her think more open-minded. When she picked up the pen to write again, although it was still neat and beautiful, there was always a sense of boldness between the strokes.
She still liked it, but she showed it to the little prince several times. The little prince would always give her some more paper and calligraphy the next day, as well as some works of famous calligraphers in Daliang, which was very subtle. She still needed to practice more.
Although she didn't practice calligraphy to become a great calligrapher or to gain fame, she just liked it.
But, if a 12-year-old kid thought it was not good enough, wouldn't she have any face?
This kid even called her sister!
A strange desire to win or lose surged in her heart, which made Sang Yian practice calligraphy more attentively in her free time. She followed Zhao Xuhuai's live broadcast room every day and asked for advice whenever she had the chance. Her progress was really visible to the naked eye.
Even so, she only got a "fair" from the little prince.
The young prince, by his own strength, raised Sang Yian's appreciation of calligraphy. Therefore, she looked at Luo Qingying's long-standing calligraphy and felt that her level was average. Her calligraphy was good, but it was still incomparable to the works of calligraphers.
On the contrary, Sang Yian felt that her sisters wrote better.
"Nannan, amazing! Have you never stopped practicing in these years? When you were a child, your teacher said that you have talent. If you keep practicing, you will definitely achieve something."
Wu Nan was also very satisfied with what she wrote today. "I have to say that the teacher is the teacher, amazing. I was able to gain a foothold in the company at the beginning because of the skill of calligraphy."
In fact, it was because she showed her face in front of the leader at an event with her calligraphy that she gradually got opportunities. Otherwise, she didn't know when she could end her days of serving tea and pouring water.
Sang Yian was full of admiration and gave her a thumbs up. "I think yours is the best among all the works! I just heard that there will be a judge's award. You can also submit this calligraphy. It will definitely win a prize."
Under Wu Nan's instigation, Sang Yian also submitted the calligraphy she had just written.
Sang Yian thought that this was just a small part of the non-heritage exhibition to mobilize the enthusiasm of the visitors. Even if there were prizes, they would probably be souvenirs of the non-heritage exhibition. How
could she know that this was a non-heritage exhibition led by the Jiang Group? How could it be so ordinary?
Jiang Group has been committed to promoting China's traditional culture over the years. The small competition set up in the Non-Heritage Exhibition is actually for the selection of teachers, judges, amateur guests and other candidates for the next national style variety show.
Today is the calligraphy competition.
Luo Qingying came here just for this.
In fact, if Sang Yian carefully reads the promotional leaflet of the Non-Heritage Exhibition, he can see the detailed introduction about the calligraphy selection.
But these two people just came to see the exhibition, and no one paid attention to the promotional leaflet.
When Luo Qingying saw Sang Yian and Wu Nan, the gentleness and dignity she had always maintained was instantly violated, especially when she saw the young and beautiful Sang Yian, a hostility flashed across her eyes.
"The judge today is Mr. Zhao Xuhuai. Mr. Zhao has always been very strict, especially in calligraphy. You should be mentally prepared."
Luo Qingying reminded softly.
When Wu Nan heard the three words "Zhao Xuhuai", she immediately raised the level of this calligraphy award to a higher level. She was also a little excited.
"It is a rare opportunity to get Mr. Zhao's comments. I am looking forward to it."
"That's right. Mr. Zhao has been retired for so many years. He doesn't accept students and rarely appears in public. It is our honor to get such guidance from such a great man."
A refined middle-aged uncle said.
Luo Qingying also smiled, "It was my negligence. I was only worried that amateur athletes like you didn't receive professional guidance and might not be in line with the rules in some places."
"Teacher Zhao is a very demanding person. You may not be able to accept his sudden comments and forget them. For you, this is also an opportunity to improve."
Sang Yian raised his eyebrows slightly. Doesn't this guy have too much sense of superiority?
She smiled faintly, "Although we are not like Miss Luo who has a family tradition of learning and has been taught by family members since childhood, and we can find calligraphy if we want to, but we amateur enthusiasts are not necessarily worse than you."
"Besides, calligraphy is a matter of personal opinion. As long as you like it, anyone can learn it and practice it. It doesn't matter whether you have received professional guidance or whether you have a family tradition of learning."
The elegant middle-aged uncle spoke again, "You can't say that. Inheritance is still very important."
"People like Miss Luo who follow their parents and elders to learn are much better than those of us who bury our heads in writing. If I could worship Teacher Zhao as my master and have his guidance, I will definitely make rapid progress."
"Don't be so delusional. Mr. Zhao is already this old. It's impossible for him to accept a disciple." Someone interrupted his fantasy.
Luo Qingying smiled softly and said, "That's not necessarily true. If he meets someone with good qualifications and who can study hard, Mr. Zhao will accept her. Mr. Zhao also cherishes talents."
"Then I guess only someone as talented and hardworking as Miss Luo can catch Mr. Zhao's eye."
Someone flattered casually, and this statement was immediately echoed by the onlookers.
Sang Yian looked around, leaned close to Wu Nan's ear, and asked in a low voice, "What's going on? These people are not young anymore, why are they surrounding Luo Qingying, a girl in her 20s, to flatter her?"
Wu Nan sneered, "Luo Qingying's grandfather and grandmother are both masters of Chinese studies, her uncles are also university professors, and her parents are in business. She belongs to the type of people who have connections in the court."
Sang Yian understood immediately, "A rich, famous, and powerful young lady."
Wu Nan nodded, "Let's go and take a look at the four treasures of the study over there."
