Chapter 546 [545] Orphan counterattack 14 (3 updates)

"Yiyi, congratulations. Good news has been heard from Shanghai. Your first exam has also passed. I asked in detail. If you enter the finals, you will have to wait for the end of June and early July. At that time, you have summer vacation, so don't worry. The screening of the rematch in Beijing is more detailed than the preliminary competition, so time may be a bit dangerous. Don't worry. I will go back and confirm for you. Just do whatever you should do."

After hanging up the phone, I still couldn't help but feel nervous. Looking back on these two calligraphy competitions, although they were jointly organized by the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the China Calligraphers Association, compared with the famous Lanting Award and the National Exhibition in the calligraphy world, the value is far less than that of her. I can only say that this is the stepping stone for her to enter the calligraphy world. Because she is only thirteen years old, if she writes too strongly, she may be followed by others. After all, she has self-study from the countryside and cannot stand scrutiny.

So she practiced four big characters every day, and only one or two words showed her true strength, and she tried her best to restrain the rest of the characters.

After all, she has been practicing ancient characters for two lifetimes, one is a princess and the other is a queen. They are both people with status, so how can they slack off in font practice? If you write poorly, you will be criticized by others. So she has practiced calligraphy well in these two lifetimes, so she will definitely get better and better in this lifetime. This is a gradual process. If you show your strength at one time, it will give people a less real feeling, so it is reasonable to reserve some strength.

As for joining the Chinese Calligraphy Association with such a reserved level, this is something she never thought about. Of course, she also understood that the reason why the master said this was entirely because of her current age, she had a trend of upward development. It was encouraged and understood.

But she must be very clear about her own standards. Otherwise, what should she do if she accidentally floats up?

Of course, there is a clear difference between modern calligraphy and ancient calligraphy. After all, just using the pen skills can express multiple frameworks.

The ancients were more concerned about norms and rules, and the ancients had a more correct attitude towards writing. Although the standards of beauty in ancient calligraphy may not be marked in detail, the ancient beautiful characters can generally be recognized by most people.

Modern calligraphy is more popular and the standards are very vague. Some people praise the same characters, while others think they are extremely ugly. Next to modern calligraphy, there is a shadow called "interest" that sways from time to time, which affects people's judgment of the beauty and ugliness of the characters. If the heart is not pure, it is difficult to have good characters again.

So what she wants to learn is a transformation from ancient calligraphy to modern calligraphy. Of course, ancient calligraphy is more standardized, but she also has to follow the market in life. If she writes, she can make money to pay for tuition and survive. She will not pretentiously avoid the word "interest". Therefore, from Mr. Zheng, she learned a lot of knowledge points in transformation and the agility of practice.

Of course, in this process, she will not forget her past brushwork, which is engraved in the depths of her memory and cannot be changed.

On the contrary, modern calligraphy is a little more casual, and she will appear more deliberate during the practice. This is the essential difference.

In 2000, her classmates used pens and ballpoint pens. She didn't like to use ballpoint pens. She usually used a fountain pen to do homework. The characters written with a pen were more standardized, especially her handwriting was very beautiful, and she could be used as a model to pass on every time. Although she wrote it slowly, if she treated each homework as an exercise, it would be difficult to lose grades. Whether it was hard pen calligraphy or soft pen calligraphy, she won in details.

The reason why I didn’t participate in the hard pen calligraphy competition is because I don’t have that time yet, and it’s not too late to find opportunities after graduating from junior high school.

On May 20, Beijing called and she passed the rematch again. The final will be held in Beijing on June 1/2/3, so you must participate on time.

But on June 7/8, she had to take the high school entrance examination. The time was too tight, but she didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she asked for leave from the school and promised that she could come back before the high school entrance examination. Because she took two consecutive exams in May, her grades ranked in the top ten in the grade, which can be said to be stable. As long as there is no problem on the day of the high school entrance examination, the key points are completely fine. In addition, the event she participated in is still national, and the school has no reason to refuse.

In order to ensure that she can hurry up, Mr. Zheng’s son personally drove them to the provincial capital airport. He could get to Beijing in two hours by plane. In addition, the driving process only took four or five hours, which saved a lot of time than taking the train.

With his own connections, Mr. Zheng has already lined up her time on the morning of the 2nd. It can be said that they rushed over on the 1st and had a short rest. After the competition on the morning of the 2nd, they can catch a plane or take a train in the afternoon. Three days is enough.

However, Mr. Zheng was reluctant to accept the money for the plane ticket. He said that she was still a child. It would not be too late to pay him back after making money in the future. You should know that the two air tickets in 2000 were three to four thousand yuan. In this era, it was definitely quite expensive. What's more, Mr. Zheng didn't have to spend this money, but in order to accompany her, she gave up so much money, which made her feel unbearable and silently swearing in her heart that she would repay him well in the future.

She did not buy her new clothes for her to wear when she went out, her shirt, jeans and sneakers, or her old clothes for Mr. Zheng. I don’t know if it’s because of her mentality, but she no longer cared about other people’s eyes. These clothes were not only old, but also had no holes or patches. She shouldn’t be vain for the competition, so she was very calm in her old clothes and boarded the plane that most people in this era had never taken.

Even Mr. Zheng himself seemed to be the second time he sat down. He was really uneasy and moved when he gave so much for her.

From the time the plane took off to landing, Mr. Zheng seemed very nervous. She was still comforting him, telling him stories, and letting him relax.

After the plane landed smoothly, they took the airport bus and then transferred to the bus. After several transactions, they arrived at the hotel chosen by the organizer. Of course, the money for staying at the hotel was also at its own expense. She calculated that for accommodation, air tickets, tickets, and meals, two people cost at least seven or eight thousand yuan. Especially, they all need to book two rooms, which is even more expensive, but she remembered all the money she spent and could repay it in the future.

Everyone knows that traveling is very tiring. Although they are not traveling, their fatigue is not inferior. Therefore, after noon arrives, they eat some food and the two of them go back to their rooms to rest. After sleeping, they slept until three or four o'clock in the afternoon.
