I started to become more self-disciplined at the age of 30

Chapter 62 62. Do you know calligraphy? A little bit!
Wang Zhenhua and Li Hui drove here together.

Jiang Chen and Han Qing got into their car and didn't have to squeeze into the subway.

Once in the car, the two started talking again.

Li Hui said as she drove: "Xiao Jiang, we spent half a day studying the four characters you wrote yesterday. They are really well written! In a few days, I plan to take them to a calligraphy exhibition in Shanghai."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly and said, "Just make your own arrangements. The things are with you anyway."

Anyway, it's not signed, so no one knows it was written by him.

Wang Zhenhua still asked unwillingly: "Xiao Jiang, old man, let me ask you one more question. Did you really only learn calligraphy in the calligraphy interest class when you were a child? Did you never learn from other teachers?"

Han Qing sat quietly next to Jiang Chen, still broadcasting the live broadcast throughout the whole process. When she heard what Wang Zhenhua said, she couldn't help but smile, and then she saw the barrage of comments in the live broadcast room popping up one after another.

"The old man still can't believe that he was defeated by Jiang Chen who came from a calligraphy interest class!"

"This calligraphy interest class is so scary, I will immediately enroll my son in a calligraphy class."

"I guess Teacher Wang didn't sleep well last night. Maybe he has asked someone to look up the calligraphy class and Teacher Zhang Xinhua."

……

Jiang Chen said affirmatively: "Yes, I learned it in the calligraphy class!"

Wang Zhenhua was a little helpless when he heard Jiang Chen's affirmative answer, but then he gave him a thumbs up and praised: "You are really amazing, but it's a pity that you have wasted some of your talent. If you had studied with a famous teacher earlier, your calligraphy attainments might have been higher, and you might have become a national master now."

Li Hui: "He is already very good now. Among his peers across the country, no one is better than him! Those who come from famous teachers, so what? They can't compare to the four words Xiao Jiang!"

Wang Zhenhua was silent. He really couldn't find any young people he knew who could write the four words "Jiang Chen".

Not to mention the younger generation, even the middle-aged and young generation are almost impossible to find.

Only a few of them can be found among the older generation of calligraphy masters!

The calligraphy world is truly in decline.

Times have changed, and young people simply can't wait to practice writing day after day for decades.

Jiang Chen said hurriedly: "Don't say that, I was just in a good state yesterday. If I were to write now, I might not be able to write like that."

Li Hui: “Too modest!”

Jiang Chen smiled. He was really not modest at all.

When he wrote those four words yesterday, it can be said that he performed beyond his normal level, otherwise the system would not have given him so many experience points.

As they chatted, they quickly came to a rather quaint street with ancient Chinese buildings on both sides and tourists coming and going on the road.

Li Hui parked the car in a company compound: "This is the Calligraphy Association! The precious ink you are looking for is next door, I will take you there!"

Wang Zhenhua got out of the car and said, "Bao Mo is owned by an old friend of mine. He opened this shop not to make money, but to deal with people who understand and like calligraphy. There is a rule in his shop that if you want to buy the real and fine four treasures of the study, you have to leave a copy of the calligraphy."

"The better your calligraphy is, the better stationery you can buy, and at a big discount!"

"Even if your writing surprises and satisfies him, he can give you a set of the best four treasures of the study."

Jiang Chen was slightly surprised: "There is such a rule?"

Li Hui also nodded: "Yes, Lao Qin has this strange rule. It's normal that you don't know it. How many young people nowadays come to buy the four treasures of the study? Only old guys like us come to his store."

After they walked out of the door, Jiang Chen looked back and saw that it was indeed written with the words "Magic City Calligraphy Association". He was secretly surprised that this calligraphy association was very rich.

After all, this street doesn't look cheap at first glance. Just looking at the flow of people you know that every inch of land is worth a lot of money. It is definitely not easy to set up an association's headquarters here.

Next to the Calligraphy Association is a large storefront, which looks like an ancient mansion. There are two large stone lions standing at the door. Above it is a huge plaque with two words written in Li script - Baomo.

Wang Zhenhua and Li Huiru walked straight in as if they were going home.

"Old Qin, come out to receive the guests."

Wang Zhenhua shouted loudly as he walked in.

Li Hui sat on the tea table familiarly and started to make tea, inviting Jiang Chen to sit down and drink tea.

If you don’t know, you would think this is their home.

Jiang Chen did not dare to sit down and drink tea so casually. Instead, he and Han Qing curiously looked around this shop that did not look like a shop. There was no counter displaying study treasures, only booths displaying calligraphy, and calligraphy works were hung on the walls.

Each piece of calligraphy has a signature on it, which is obviously not written by an ordinary person.

Jiang Chen and Han Qing knew little about the calligraphy world, so they didn't recognize any of these signatures.

However, a big shot in the live broadcast room recognized him.

"That's the calligraphy of Li Qianhua, one of the best calligraphers in Shanghai. One character is worth more than 10,000 yuan on the market. This calligraphy has five characters, so it's worth at least 50,000 yuan!"

"Fuck, that's the signature of Zhang Dahu from Beijing. Zhang Dahu is now the president of the Beijing Calligraphy Association. Last year, one of his representative calligraphy works was auctioned and sold for a high price of three million."

"Are the words here so valuable?"

“Almost all of them are famous.”

"Nonsense, if he wasn't a famous family, he wouldn't have put it up."

"Where is this store? I want to go check it out!"

"Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for showing us so many calligraphy treasures."

"These are scenes that we can't see or touch normally!"

"Lao Jiang's live broadcast has raised the cultural level of the live broadcast industry..."

……

Many viewers in the live broadcast room were excited to see the calligraphy works of these famous calligraphers.

This is something they cannot see or touch normally.

I've never seen this before on live webcasts.

The Internet is generally full of black and white stockings, hype and showing off wealth, etc.

Such works from the upper echelons of the cultural world cannot be seen in other live broadcast rooms. Zhang Li, who was in the hotel, also looked at the signed calligraphy works with great interest. She also saw the names of several calligraphy masters she knew.

I looked at the live broadcast room and the number of people online exceeded 20,000.

Zhang Li was pleasantly surprised!

It seems that Jiang Chen’s outdoor live broadcast is also very attractive.

…………

When Jiang Chen and Han Qing were admiring the calligraphy works in the Tang Dynasty, Wang Zhenhua came over in a hurry, waved to Li Zhi and Jiang Chen who were making tea, and whispered, "Come here quickly!"

Seeing Wang Zhenhua's serious look, Li Hui put down the teapot, stood up and walked over: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Chen and Han Qing also walked over curiously.

Wang Zhenhua smiled and said, "Lao Qin is inside watching others writing together!"

Li Hui also showed interest. As a calligrapher of the older generation, she was most interested in calligraphy exchanges, so she immediately asked, "Who is it?"

Wang Zhenhua: “You’ll know when you go and see it!”

Jiang Chen and Han Qing didn't say anything, but quietly followed Wang Zhenhua and Li Hui to a large study room inside, where three people were standing!
Two old men stood in front of the desk, watching a middle-aged man writing attentively!
Wang Zhenhua and Li Hui both walked over quietly, then stood there and looked, neither speaking to disturb the person who was writing.

Jiang Chen and Han Qing also walked over and stood at the edge.

Jiang Chen glanced at the middle-aged man who was concentrating on writing, and then looked at his words.

I saw a middle-aged man standing there like a tree, his body very steady, tightly holding an ancient brush, writing on the snow-white rice paper.

Running script!

Jiang Chen's eyes lit up slightly.

He is best at running script, so seeing a middle-aged man writing running script calligraphy gives one a sense of intimacy and familiarity.

just.

He looked at the other person's calligraphy, which was still a little worse than his own. It should be about the same level as Wang Zhenhua's, with intermediate calligraphy skills recognized by the system.

Four words were written quickly - a gathering of books. This is a compliment to this precious ink. Many works of famous calligraphers are gathered here, so it can indeed be said to be a gathering of books.

After finishing writing, the middle-aged man raised his head, looked at the two old men, Wang Zhenhai, and Li Hui, nodded slightly and smiled, "Excuse me for showing off my ugliness!"

One of the old men said, "Don't be modest, Haijun. Your cursive script already has the qualities of a master. In time, you will surely become a master of calligraphy!"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Qin. That is my goal in this life."

Old Qin nodded: "As long as you persist, you can do it."

The old man next to him shook his head and said, "Haijun's perseverance and hard work are enough, but his talent is still a little lacking. Whether he can become a master in this life depends on whether he has a little luck!"

Qin Lao smiled and said, "Don't be too harsh on him. Just let everything take its course."

Wang Zhenhua said in a complicated tone: "Haijun's calligraphy is no worse than mine, old man He, you are still not satisfied!"

Old Qin and Old He turned to look at Wang Zhenhua and Li Hui.

"Old Wang, your calligraphy has not improved in more than ten years, so stop talking about it!"

Old Qin shook his head and smiled.

Li Hui said in a slightly complicated tone: "I used to think that Haijun was one of the pillars of the future calligraphy world."

After hearing what Li Hui said, everyone knew that Li Hui had more to say.

Qin Lao followed up and asked: "What about now?"

Li Hui said directly: "Now, after seeing Xiao Jiang's handwriting, I feel that Hai Jun is still a little bit behind!"

Xiaojiang?

The two old men and the middle-aged man all looked at Li Hui.

Old Man He and the middle-aged man both became serious.

Qin Lao asked directly: "Who is Xiao Jiang?"

Li Hui turned and looked at Jiang Chen: "It's him!"

The three of them looked at Jiang Chen and Han Qing. Seeing that Jiang Chen looked unrealistically young, as if he had just stepped out of school in his twenties, the three of them frowned slightly. Han Qing, who was standing next to Jiang Chen, was holding her phone and broadcasting live to them, which made the three of them frown even more.

Jiang Chen didn't expect Li Hui to sell him out as soon as she arrived. Facing the gazes of the three people, he smiled awkwardly: "Sorry, I, I'm just a passerby who came to buy things. I'm sorry to disturb your elegance!"

Old Qin said calmly: "I don't sell my things to passers-by!"

Jiang Chen faced the questioning gazes of Mr. Qin and the other two and said, "I heard from Mr. Wang and President Li that the four treasures of the study here are only sold to people who know calligraphy and understand calligraphy."

Mr. Qin: "Can you write calligraphy?"

Jiang Chen: "I know a little bit!"

Mr. Qin was also a straightforward person. He immediately extended his arm to the desk next to him and said, "Please!"

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment and looked at Wang Zhenhua and Li Hui. The two of them smiled and nodded at Jiang Chen without saying anything.

Old Man He said seriously: "Little brother, let's see what kind of words the future pillar of the Chinese calligraphy world can write!"

Obviously, Old Man He had some reservations about what Li Hui said.

Jiang Chen did not show any fear, and smiled and said: "I am not the pillar of the future calligraphy world, I am just a calligraphy enthusiast, and I came here to buy the four treasures of the study!"

Old Qin also said in a serious tone: "The four treasures of the study here are not ordinary items outside, they are all top-notch! And some of them are famous items handed down from generation to generation in my collection. If your handwriting satisfies me, I can give you the four treasures of the study of famous grade."

The four treasures of the study of famous quality?
Jiang Chen was ready to make a move.

The live broadcast room was extremely lively.

They really love to watch the direction of the plot.
