Taking Liu Yifei back to Northeast China for the Chinese New Year has sent the entire internet into

Zhao Guifang looked at Fang Yu with a completely bewildered expression.

"What's so hasty about it? Tie Zhu and his wife's wedding was set six months ago!"

"Iron... Iron pillar?"

Fang Yu and Liu Yifei asked this question almost simultaneously.

Zhao Guifang glanced at her son, then at Liu Yifei's horrified expression, and was stunned herself.

"Yeah, Zhang Tiezhu, your childhood friend, the one from the Zhang family."

She was completely confused.

"What's with those expressions on your faces? What else could it be? Whose invitations do you think it is?"

"..."

"..."

A gust of cold wind blew by, swirling up a few snowflakes.

Fang Yu and Liu Yifei were stunned on the spot.

After all that...

Zhang Tiezhu, my childhood friend from the village, is getting married!

Fang Yu slumped down on the small stool.

As soon as my tense nerves relaxed, I immediately felt my lower back hurt even more.

Liu Yifei also let out a long sigh of relief and quietly patted her chest.

Now, the misunderstanding has finally been cleared up.

However, the viewers in the live stream were completely outraged.

"Seriously, officer?! It was just a blank shot?!"

This is driving me crazy, it's giving me a heart attack!

That's not the point! The point is that they still haven't explained the missing hour and a half!

Correct!

The hour and a half that disappeared!

This question continues to agonize over for all viewers.

Fang Yu didn't even need to look at the comments; he could guess what these onlookers were thinking.

He decided he couldn't let this dangerous topic escalate any further.

"Mom," Fang Yu quickly changed the subject, "Why did you bring back the invitations for Tie Zhu's wedding? Are we supposed to be responsible for sending them out?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guifang immediately perked up.

She slapped her thigh triumphantly, her face beaming with pride.

"What do you mean by 'on behalf'? This was Tie Zhu's father who specifically asked me to get it back so you could write it!"

"You want me to write it?" Fang Yu was taken aback.

"Of course!" Zhao Guifang's chin practically floated to the sky.

"Son, you're something else now! Your calligraphy for the New Year couplets is so beautiful, everyone for miles around knows that our Fang family has produced a 'Fang Xizhi'!"

"Tiezhu's dad said that marriage is a major life event, and it has to be grand! He asked you to write the invitations; they're calligraphy by a famous person! Sending them out will make us look very prestigious!"

Zhao Guifang spoke with great enthusiasm.

Fang Yu was both amused and exasperated after hearing this.

Well, it turns out I've become the chief calligrapher in the village now.

Teacher Wang is about to lose her job!

"Fine, I'll write it then."

He stood up, dragging his aching back, and began to move into the house.

"Perfect timing, the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone I used to write the couplets last time are still here."

As Fang Yu walked, he casually asked a question.

"Mom, Tiezhu is getting married, why didn't he ask me to be his best man?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Guifang rolled her eyes at him.

"Would you like to be my best man?"

She looked her son up and down, his face so handsome it was almost unreal, and spoke with a rather arrogant tone.

"Give me a break! With a face like yours, who would even look at the groom if you just stood there?"

"The girls who come then will all have their eyes on you!"

"Is Tiezhu still going to get married? Let's give him a break!"

"..."

Fang Yu touched his face.

Yes, Mom is right.

My own damned, untamed charm can easily overshadow everything else.

It seems that being too handsome can also be a heavy burden.

Fang Yu took out the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone from the cabinet and laid them out in a row on the large square table in the main room.

The bright red invitation paper with gold flecks, the glossy black ink, and the snow-covered courtyard create a unique and picturesque scene.

The last time I wrote a couplet, although I showcased my divine calligraphy skills, the content was simply too outrageous.

The phrases "windfall" and "making a living based on one's looks" are all presented in a simple, crude, and unsophisticated way.

This time, it was a wedding invitation.

Fang Yu's expression also became much more serious.

He picked up an invitation and flipped through it.

The cover is bright red with gold foil, and the formatted text inside is all pre-printed.

The date, the names of the bride and groom, and the hotel address are all included.

The only blank line next to the words "send to present" is a horizontal line.

That's where you write down the names of invited guests by hand.

Don't be fooled by the fact that it's just writing a name; there's a lot of nuance involved.

Each invitation has a different name and a different number of characters.

In that small blank space, each person's name must be written neatly and symmetrically, with proper centering.

You really need real skills to do this kind of porcelain work.

Fang Yu picked up the brush, dipped it in ink, and held it in the air.

This time, he no longer used the bold and unrestrained cursive script he used when writing couplets last time.

Instead, it adopted a new font characterized by its sharp and elegant style – the Slender Gold style!

This font was created by Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji.

The strokes are slender and firm, with iron-like lines and silver hooks, exuding an air of lofty royal nobility.

Use it to write invitations; it instantly elevates the style.

Fang Yu picked up the first bright red invitation card and glanced at the guest list that Zhao Guifang handed over to him.

First place: Wang Defa.

The pen tip slowly fell across the blank space of the invitation.

Three words, written in one breath.

Graceful and elegant, with strokes as strong as iron and silver!

The sharp beginnings and crisp endings of the Slender Gold style calligraphy stand out strikingly on the bright red and gold-flecked paper.

He managed to transform the name "Wang Defa," which was full of the earthy smell of a village entrance, into something with the ultimate sense of imperial dignity.

Fang Yu put it aside with satisfaction and picked up the second one.

"Li Tiegen".

Three words again, flowing smoothly.

Following that, "Zhao Fugui," "Sun Dabiao," "Liu Cuihua"...

One after another, he wrote each name as if it were a meticulously crafted work of art.

No matter how down-to-earth your name is, in Fang Yu's writing, it will all have the feel of a royal investiture.

If a knowledgeable calligrapher saw this, they would probably be astonished.

This top-tier "Slender Gold" calligraphy style, which only exists in ancient books and calligraphy models, was actually written out casually by a young man in his early twenties!

This is beyond just being described as a gifted individual; it's simply monstrous!

Although most viewers in the live stream do not understand calligraphy, they share a common aesthetic appreciation.

Holy crap! Even though I can't understand it, I'm absolutely blown away! The handwriting is so beautiful!

[I was already blown away by the couplets they wrote last time, and this time the font on the invitations has changed again? It feels even more impressive than last time!]

[What kind of magical font is this? It looks just like a printed font! No, it's even more elegant than a printed one! Just how many more skills does Fang Yu have that we don't know about?!]
