Shenhao with a learning panel

Li Shi repeatedly weighed and debated for a long time, and finally chose Cao Mengde's "Guan Cang Hai" as the basis for his full-strength attack on the masterpiece.

Are other classical poems good?

Of course!

All of them are famous works handed down from generation to generation, whether literary, artistic, or ideological, they are all classics.

Otherwise, Li Shi wouldn't be so entangled.

But he finally chose the poem "Viewing the Sea".

The important reason lies first in the author of this poem, Cao Cao.

Cao Cao, courtesy name Mengde.

What kind of person he is should be viewed from two aspects. In the novel, he is a "treacherous hero in troubled times" who "holds the emperor hostage to command the princes" and has the ambition to become king and hegemony. "I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me".

Well, and this person also has a quirk, a good woman.

It is still the source of many "Cao thieves" on the Internet.

In real history, Li Taibai's evaluation of him is relatively fair as "the emperor of Wei camped on the eight poles, and the ants watched on the same scale". This man combined martial arts with martial arts and used many years of management to unify the north. He was a remarkable figure.

For such a complex historical figure, Li Shi could selectively find the part of himself that resonated with him from novels and history books.

Cao Cao's poems are straightforward, open-minded, majestic, generous and sad. Especially this poem "Viewing the Sea" has the air of swallowing up the universe!

This and him...

Li Shi called up the learning panel, "gazed" at the nebula that was constantly being annihilated and reborn in the background of the panel, and made a choice immediately.

"He has the ambition to swallow up the universe, and I really want to 'swallow' this universe!"

It has been more than a year since Li Shi obtained the learning panel. If the pride hidden in his heart were released, it would be enough to reach the sky.

After making his choice, Li Shi went to bed and had a solid sleep. He woke up the next morning, packed his things, had breakfast, said goodbye to his mother, drove out of Qiaoyang Village, and entered the town's highway entrance. , went straight to the provincial capital.

After arriving in Tanzhou, I first went to the studio to check out the work here, and then returned to Phoenix Bay.

As soon as he entered the door, he was about to take a shower and change into pajamas as usual, when he received a greeting message from a bank staff member on WeChat.

Li Shi glanced at it, put down the phone again, did not reply, and continued to take a shower.

He used to think it would be a bit rude not to reply after reading them, but in the past year, after he has become more "good people" and "friends" around him, he has deliberately delayed unimportant messages from unimportant people. Reply on time, or simply don’t reply to such business-interest greeting messages.

If the other party really has something to do, he will send it again or call him directly.

After coming out of the bathroom after taking a shower, Li Shi looked at his phone again. Sure enough, the bank manager sent another message, saying that a new financial product for big customers had recently been launched and asked if he was interested.

A detailed introduction is also attached below.

Li Shi glanced at it and typed back: "Manager Guo, I'm not interested in any financial products. You don't need to send me any recommendations in this regard in the future."

Manager Guo immediately replied: "Okay, Mr. Li, I'm sorry to bother you."

Li Shi put down his mobile phone, sat on the sofa in the living room, turned on the TV, took the remote control and watched it for a while, and found that the third part of the TV series "Dajiang Dahe" had actually come out.

"When I came home, I followed my mother and the others to look at it, but I didn't notice it."

He had watched the first and second parts of this TV series and found it pretty good, so he clicked to play it.

The new TV series only lasted three episodes and was released quickly.

Li Shi was a little unfinished and thought to himself, the beginning of this third part is not as good as the first and second parts, but it's not bad.

"The TV series produced by Noon Sunshine are generally of high quality. When the scripts on Calligraphy are released in the future, I might consider working with them."

Li Shi watched several new TV series, but found them all boring. He was about to turn off the TV and go to the study room, but suddenly remembered his choice of "Guan Cang Hai" and directly searched for "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" using his smart voice.

Soon several versions appeared on the TV screen.

He chose the 94 CCTV version.

After playing the first episode, the TV screen immediately showed a scene of fighting and iron horses, and then the Yangtze River entered the picture, and the familiar music sounded:

The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away the heroes. Right and wrong, success and failure are all gone, but the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times...

Yang Shen's "Linjiang Immortal" is also one of Li Shi's favorite ancient poems. If I had to choose one more poem as an alternative yesterday, it would have to be this poem.

So he is very familiar with this word.

Yang Hongji's singing immediately brought Li Shi into the world of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It all started with the Yellow Turban Uprising after the eunuchs took over the government at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Li Shi watched the farmers on TV shouting "Heaven is dead, Huang Tian is here", and he immediately felt a sense of participation. He couldn't help but think, if he traveled to the world of the Three Kingdoms...

"This kind of old TV series still looks interesting."

He watched one episode after another, and unknowingly it was around four o'clock in the afternoon, until Wu Yuan sent a WeChat message: "Teacher Li, I'm getting off the plane!"

……

The advantage of traveling after the National Day is that there are fewer people, and Anxi Province is even more sparsely populated.

The next day, they first took the high-speed train to Lancheng, and then took the soft sleeper to Urumqi.

After arriving there, Wu Yuan arranged the entire trip. In addition to working hard during the stay, Li Shi spent the rest of his time eating, drinking and admiring the scenery.

Because she knew that Li Shi liked a leisurely style, when making arrangements, Ms. Wu only chose three places for vacation-style travel in Urumqi, Tianchi, and Kanas in seven days.

Anxi Province in autumn is indeed so beautiful.

Not to mention being accompanied by a beautiful woman.

On Wu Yuan's lunar birthday and the next day, they both stayed in a wooden house B&B in Hemu. They didn't go out all day long, sitting on top of each other in front of the B&B window and quietly admiring the wonderful experience of the birch forest. Ms. Wu lingered and couldn't bear to be separated from this stunning beauty.

When the two returned to Tanzhou, it was already the afternoon of October 18th.

Li Shi's assistant Zhang Huijing came to pick him up at the high-speed rail station.

When she saw the woman next to her boss, she couldn't help but look sideways and took a few more glances. She thought to herself, how could this Mr. Wu go to Anxi Province for a visit, and his skin is still in such good condition, not turning dark at all? It seems to be whiter and more delicate than before, and I feel like my whole body is glowing.

Wu Yuan had eaten and drank enough on this trip. She had actually noticed Zhang Huijing peeking at her, but she pretended not to care. After getting in the car, she leaned on the chair and continued to rest with her eyes closed... She slept in the car, yes. She had formed a habit during this outing. Traveling with Teacher Li was too energy-consuming, so she had to seize all the time to recuperate.

Although she returned to Tanzhou, there was a lot of accumulated work waiting for this strong woman to deal with, but in the past few days, the sense of satisfaction that once again penetrated her bones and soul made her reluctant to leave.

After arriving at Phoenix Bay, she decided to sleep one more night next to Li Shi and go back to work tomorrow - she really planned to sleep, because she herself felt that her health was not good for further progress. Behavior.

The first thing Li Shi does when he comes home from a trip is to take a shower.

When there are two people, wash by one person; when there are two people, wash by two people.

After washing, the two sat on the sofa. Li Shi turned on the TV and continued to watch the drama. Although he was traveling outside during this period, he had good physical strength. After dealing with Ms. Wu casually three or five times in the evening, he had a lot of free time. The fourteen-episode "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has reached its seventieth episode, and Sima Yi has returned.

"Shitou, what do you want to eat tonight? I'll have someone bring it to you." Li Shi was looking at it when the woman in his arms suddenly asked.

He kept his eyes on the TV screen, but the force of his hands became slightly stronger, and he said with a smile: "Same as the third child, plus a small stir-fried yellow beef. By the way, you'd better eat light today, be good."

"Ah."

Wu Yuan immediately called and asked her assistant to deliver the dishes. Finally, she reminded: "Remember to ask the chef to make the three dishes of fried pork with chili, stir-fried pork ribs and stir-fried yellow beef. The portions of the three dishes should be twice the usual. Chopped peppers Use double peppers to steam fish heads, and choose fish heads with more meat.”

Li Shi’s top three dishes are fried pork with chili pepper, fried pork ribs with green pepper and fish head with minced pepper.

Her instructions were all based on Li Shi's preferences and appetite.

It took at least an hour for the food to be delivered. Wu Yuan might be hungry, so she peeled a huge ugly orange and ate it.

This kind of orange is really big. After peeling off the crepe skin, the pulp inside is full of juice. It is sweet and sour, and tastes so good that your mouth is full before you know it.

At this time, Li Shi's mobile phone placed next to him rang several WeChat notifications. He reached out to take it and finally moved his eyes away from the TV screen, but instead of looking at the phone, he glanced down and then checked WeChat.

Sent by He Yaru: "Teacher Li, the preview materials have been released and will be sent to you."

Li Shi typed back: "Okay."

Soon, He Yaru sent a PDF document titled "Preview Materials for the Special Exhibition of Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy from Zhong Yilou's Collection".

Li Shi: "(ok)"

Select Download Document.

He Yaru asked again: "Teacher Li, you should have returned to Nanhu Province today, right?"

"I'm back. I'm already at home."

"Oh, what is Xiaoyuan doing? I sent her a message and she didn't reply to me."

Li Shi looked down again, with a smile on his lips, and typed: "She is busy eating fruit."

He Yaru added: "Ask her to call me. I have something serious to talk to her about."

Li Shi was stunned for a moment. He originally wanted to find a reason for them to contact them later, but as he rolled his eyes, he remembered that he was going to create a masterpiece based on "Guan Cang Hai".

He secretly murmured that in order to take the essence of the poem "Viewing the Sea" for sword practice and creation, he must first let go of the "tiger" in his heart and do whatever he wants more than before.

So he stretched out his left hand and put it down on Ms. Wu's hair, caressing it gently and said: "Sister He said she has something to do with you and asked you to call her."

"Huh? Bo."

Wu Yuan raised her head and looked at him, blinked her beautiful eyes, suddenly smiled, and reached for her mobile phone from the sofa on her side. While continuing to eat ugly oranges, she looked for He Yaru's number and dialed it.

Li Shi ignored what they were talking about and transferred the document on his mobile phone to the tablet. He bent down slightly, took the tablet over from the coffee table, and began to check the preview information of "Special Exhibition of Chinese Paintings and Calligraphy from the Zhong Yi Lou Collection".

There are 80 calligraphy and painting collections in the information, including Wang Xuetao's rich peony fans, Yu Youren's seven-character poems in cursive script, Lin Sanzhi's cursive scripts, etc.

After scanning it from beginning to end, he focused on the twenty highest-valued collections at the back.

Most of the twenty pieces in the collection are paintings, among which Fu Baoshi's "Painting of Gao Shi at Cliff Waterfall" is the most expensive, with an estimated price of 600 million to 800 million.

The second highest estimate is Huang Binhong's "Dwelling in Xiqiao Mountain", priced at 480 million to 600 million.

"Li Taibai Xia Ke's Running Script", which Li Shi used to test the waters, ranks 68th in valuation, and is written at 80-.

The most highly valued calligraphy collection is Master Hongyi’s sixteen-character couplets, estimated at 120 million to 180 million.

"There are so many exquisite works, especially these works by Fu Baoshi and Huang Binhong. Sister He and Teacher Wu spent a lot of money on them."

Li Shi clicked on his work and read the information written inside.

"Paper, vertical scroll."

"Knowledge: Zhao Keman and Hu Ying..."

"Knowing the money: Looking for chivalrous spirit, he created his own swordsmanship in Hengshan. It was like finding a beautiful woman in his arms, and the swordsman was the same, so he wrote it down in ink. In the early autumn of October, Li Shi."

"Seal: Xingyun (Zhu), Li Shi (Zhu)"

"Appraisal seal: Zhong Yi (white), Wu Xiulin (zhu), Ping Yan (white)"

……

Li Shi looked down from the beginning, and finally his eyes fell on the appraisal seal.

"Why is there an extra identification seal? Who is this Pingyan?"

He lowered his head. Ms. Wu was still chatting vaguely with He Yaru, and immediately said: "Ask Sister He, there is an extra seal on my work. Who is it?"

Ms. Wu winked at him, paused for a moment, and said deliberately: "I'll let you go, you guys have made your own decision."

He Yaru over there had actually heard it. As soon as Ms. Wu turned on the external speakers, Li Shina pressed pause on the remote control, and her answer came immediately: "Pingyan is an old friend of my aunt, who used to work in the cultural department above. The appointment is... He happened to come to see my aunt a few days ago. He saw your work, Teacher Li, and liked it so much that my aunt invited him to add a seal. "

It turned out to be the case.

As soon as she said her name, Li Shi knew who it was.

"Sister He, you and Teacher Wu have taken the trouble."

"That's right. I'm your agent. By the way, my aunt said that after the paper "Three Poems of Du Fu in Travels to Nanyue" is published, she wants the Calligraphers Association to organize a seminar and let me..."

Sister He suddenly paused for a while before continuing: "Let me ask you what you think."

Li Shi stretched out his hand and patted Ms. Wu, who was not idle, and told her not to act like a monster. After thinking for a while, he said: "It's better to stop the seminar. I'm not a pure theorist. If you have doubts or are unconvinced, let's take a look. My work would be just fine.”

A few calm words, but very domineering.

After hanging up the phone, Wu Yuan immediately asked: "Teacher Li, you seem to be a little different from before recently?"

Li Shi smiled and said: "That's right, I plan to be a Cao thief for a while."

"Cao thief?"

Wu Yuan didn't understand the memes on the Internet that much, so she didn't understand what he said for a while. Just when she was about to ask for details, her mobile phone screen lit up. She swiped it and immediately handed the phone to Li Shi with a snicker.

It was a WeChat message sent to her by He Yaru.

"Damn Xiaoyuan, you bad thing! Did you do something bad when we were on the phone?! (Rolling eyes) (Rolling eyes)"

"I heard it all later!" (End of Chapter)
