Chapter 637: a bunch of lunatics

Chapter 637 A group of madmen

Brother Cheng heard this and said, "But it's the Zhan family in Jiangnan."

Brother Cheng knows this Jiangnan Zhan family. The current third master of the Zhan family is familiar with Mr. Xia. They have been close friends for more than 30 years. This third master of the Zhan family is also a famous madman. Painting and construction.

Master Zhan Sans paintings, like his people, follow a wild style, and most of his paintings are rough and messy mountain scenes.

As for the construction.

Listen, isnt it the endless chaotic sound of building construction?

The servants of the Xia family replied: "The young man is right, it is the Zhan family in Jiangnan."

In fact, the Zhan family was not in the south of the Yangtze River before, but in the capital. However, wars broke out frequently in the last years of the previous dynasty, and the capital became a battleground for several rebel kings and tyrants. In order to avoid the war, the Zhan family moved to the south of the Yangtze River.

After the founding of Dachu, the Zhan family originally wanted to move back to the capital, but the first emperor of Dachu didn't like the aristocratic family, so he beheaded many aristocratic families.

Seeing this scene, the Zhan family did not dare to return to the capital.

Not only did they not dare to return to the capital, but when the first emperor of Da Chu asked a wealthy family to send a daughter to the palace as a concubine, the Zhan family did not refuse and instead sent a daughter to the palace.

Because of this incident, the Zhan family was scolded by a first-class family, saying that the Zhan family was flattering and gave their daughters to thieves. But the Zhan family said that their family did this to preserve the family's bloodline and prevent the Emperor of Chu from killing the family again.

Brother Cheng felt that the Zhan family simply wanted to please both sides, but it was a pity that the daughter who was sent to the palace only gave birth to a princess and then died, not a prince.

The Zhan family failed to benefit from both ends. They failed to curry favor with the royal family and were despised by the first-class aristocratic families.

In the past, Mr. Xia also looked down upon the Zhan family, but he had known Mr. Zhan San since he was a boy, had gone through hardships together, and was impressed by Mr. Zhan's construction. Therefore, he has been in contact with Mr. Zhan San for so many years and has no respect for the Zhan family. There has been a gradual improvement.

"Young Master is here." The butler of the Xia family came over from the end of the road, bowed his hands to Brother Cheng and said, "Young Master, my good friend is here. He is building a building and having a drink in the listening water garden. Please treat me to Mr. Cheng." You went over to meet the guests."

Xiaotuan listened and said: "Steward Xia, I have told you many times, don't call our brother Cheng the young man. Just call him Brother Cheng or the second son of the Gu family."

only

Could you please stop being shirtless? Its late October, arent you cold? It will freeze you to death.

A sentence from his second sister suddenly popped into Cheng Ge'er's mind: You should have style rather than warmth.

In fact, Zhan Er is also cold, but he has admired his uncle since he was a child and determined to be a madman like his uncle. He is arrogant and popular, roaming in the mountains, forests and city walls, and playing among the ladies and oirans.

Brother Cheng untied his book bag and gave it to Xiaotuan, performed an ancient ritual to Zhan Er, walked to the bamboo mat, took off his shoes, knelt down on the bamboo mat, picked up a brush as thick as his thumb, and dipped it in After the ink, start writing.

His movements were smooth and flowing, and he didn't seem to be struggling at all when writing each word, and he still maintained elegance.

After the last vertical hook, he stopped writing, turned his wrist, turned the brush in a circle gracefully, hung it on the pen holder, turned around, and said to Mr. Xia and Mr. Zhan: "Sir, Mr. Zhan, please take a look. .

Mr. Zhan San was watching from a short distance while he was writing. Now he came over and saw that the words on the paper were like dragons and phoenixes dancing, and like pines in the mountains. He was very surprised. This child must be eight years old at most, and he could write like this. A hand with vigorous calligraphy.

"Are you good at martial arts?" Mr. Zhan San asked. Without boxing and kicking skills, a child of this age would not have the strength to write such words.

Brother Cheng nodded obediently: "Yes, Brother Cheng's family has a rule that all members of the family must practice martial arts."

Mr. Zhan San said: "Oh, your family still has such rules."

but

Your calligraphy is good, but it is too regular. It should be more wild to be more powerful.

Brother Cheng:

Are you so frantic that you cant even read what youre writing?

No, I wont write, I dont want to become a lunatic like you.

But he replied with a smile: "Yes, Brother Cheng has learned a lesson."

We should come down first and wait until the Zhan family leaves.nove(l)bi(n.)com
