Chapter 421

~7 min read 1,272 words

Lin Yu spoke with conviction and eloquence.

"Wine? What kind of wine?"

"Lin Yu, why are you so demanding?"

Sister Reba gave Lin Yu a sideways glance, but still looked around for a bit.

Looking for wine to drink in a conference room is truly a bit outrageous!

"Uh... it seems like drinking isn't allowed during a live stream, right?" Zhu Xudan scratched her head and asked suspiciously.

The Douyin platform has been very strict with management recently; smoking and drinking are not allowed, and many minors are watching, so she was afraid it would have a bad influence.

"Here! Lin Yu, I have tea here, do you want it?" Sister Reba had a flash of inspiration.

"Tea!"

"It's a bit lacking, but it's not impossible. Bring it here."

Lin Yu postured like an expert from the outside world.

"Calligraphy is something that mainly emphasizes artistic conception; many things are inspired by feelings and the expression of emotions. Brother Xia Yu should be able to deeply understand this, right?"

Lin Yu nodded slightly toward the live stream camera.

"Exactly! It's about emphasizing the state of mind. I've had moments where I suddenly got a feeling, just like a stroke of divine inspiration."

"But it's still not as good as you, Brother Lin Yu."

Xia Yu felt the same way and excitedly echoed.

Last time, he remembered it was after drinking a cup of Da Hong Pao that he suddenly got the feeling. Sometimes one has to admire the ancients for burning incense and tasting tea; that is truly a comfortable life!

Xu Jinglei and Chen Daoming in the live stream also widened their eyes in surprise.

So there's this kind of saying?

This is the same principle as Li Bai drinking wine and writing a hundred poems; one needs an atmosphere to create miracles, right!

Learned it!

Chen Daoming immediately thought of the wine cellar in Zhang Yimou's house; the national master's wine is even more fragrant!

"Sister Reba, girl! Have you brewed the tea for me?"

Lin Yu also called out softly behind him.

"Brew what tea?"

"Here!"

"Take it, drink it."

Sister Reba dug a bottle of iced black tea out of the drawer and threw it over.

This was left over from when they were discussing the script late at night and were too sleepy.

???

Damn!

Iced black tea!?

"Damn! After I said so much and laid the groundwork with such artistic conception, you give me a bottle of iced black tea."

Lin Yu curled his lips, his face full of unhappiness.

"Fine! Iced black tea counts as black tea too!"

"But I'm telling you, the flavor of this running script might change; don't blame me if it tastes like black tea later!"

Lin Yu smacked his lips and said.

The live stream burst into laughter upon hearing this.

"Hahahaha, I've seen people write calligraphy while drunk, but never while drinking iced black tea. This artistic conception has been broken by this bottle of iced black tea."

"Sister Reba is so naive and cute, I love her to death. Adding a fan badge."

"Sister Reba is so interesting, I wonder if anyone can prank Lin Yu."

"Iced black tea: Why did I suddenly become popular for no reason? Sister Reba's same style is now online!"

"Sister Reba: Please settle the advertising fee, it's urgent!"

"........."

Xia Yu once again acted as the live stream commentator.

Before Lin Yu started writing, he briefly explained the difference between running script and regular script to everyone.

Running script is actually a font developed and evolved on the basis of regular script, so it is generally the same as regular script in brushwork, but it is richer, more varied, and more layered in terms of starting and ending strokes, lifting and pressing, turning and folding, and speed.

The writing speed is also relatively moderate; the font is elegant and unrestrained, rebellious and uninhibited, with changeable structures, and the momentum between strokes complements each other, echoing from beginning to end.

"What?"

"Lanting Preface"

When Xia Yu saw these three characters, his eyes couldn't help but widen, and he exclaimed in surprise.

Xia Yu calculated a thousand times but never expected that Lin Yu would directly write Wang Xizhi's Lanting Preface; this is too brave!

"Uh........"

"I'll give everyone a brief introduction. As everyone knows, Lanting Preface is Wang Xizhi's representative work."

"The ancients would hold activities to wash away bad luck on the third day of the third lunar month during the spring purification ceremony."

"It's similar to some spring outing poetry gatherings."

"Lanting Preface was written against this background."

"Looking at the past and present, Lanting Preface truly achieved a spirit in the brush and ink. Apart from looking beautiful as a whole, individual characters and individual strokes all appear particularly lively."

"......."

After hearing Xia Yu's introduction, everyone was greatly amazed, and some even directly took out previous imitations of Lanting Preface.

"Damn! Really? Is Lin Yu really going to write this?"

"This is too awesome, I've already taken out the photo and am ready to compare it, let's see how much Lin Yu writes like it."

"I don't know much about the previous Slender Gold script and Yan Zhenqing's characters, but I can still understand Wang Xizhi's Lanting Preface."

"......"

"No way, you're really going to write Lanting Preface."

Although Sister Reba didn't study calligraphy from a young age, she was influenced by it and knew a thing or two about the world's number one running script.

Knowing that Lin Yu was going to imitate Lanting Preface, she widened her eyes, full of anticipation.

Zhu Xudan on the side was the same; this article had been in textbooks since she was a child, and basically everyone who had been to school had studied it.

She was very curious about how much Lin Yu could imitate. Tomson Riviera, Yanjing.

Xu Jinglei had originally picked up her teacup, but upon hearing this, she subconsciously put it down again. She had originally thought Lin Yu was going to imitate Wang Xizhi's brush style.

Who would have thought he would directly imitate the treasure of the calligraphy world, Lanting Preface.

He had only written a few characters before, and now he was doing such a big job; it was truly unexpected.

This kid?

Chen Daoming, as a successor of Wang Xizhi's lineage.

Could more deeply understand the ingenuity of the Calligraphy Saint's brushwork and the rigor of the structural layout; the running script was even written by Wang Xizhi like a chess manual, interlocking and exquisite.

Could this thing really be imitated at will? Is this kid a genius?

Lanting Preface!

Of course, Lin Yu wouldn't write the proper Lanting Preface. If he wrote it poorly, he would be criticized, and if he really wrote it well, he would definitely be bothered by many people coming to his door.

The audience in the live stream,

Cheng Daoming, Xu Jinglei, the linked-up Xia Yu, including Sister Reba and Zhu Xudan on the scene, all held their breath, looking forward to Lin Yu's brushwork.

Lin Yu didn't sell out, directly shook the sleeves on his arms, held the wolf hair brush tip, and dotted the ink to write. However,

The next moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Lanting imitates the script! The running script is like flowing clouds and water!"

"Pushing the door under the moon! The heart is as delicate as your footsteps!"

Netizens:???

Sister Reba:???

Zhu Xudan:???

Shouldn't it be "In the ninth year of Yonghe, in the year of Guichou, at the beginning of late spring"?

What the hell is this writing?
