In the evening, Chu Chen and Meng Yixian, who are going to return to their respective rooms, say hello. Then they close their door and quickly take out the suspected note written by Zhang huoni.
"I can see it at last!"
Chuchen laughs and pours himself a cup of tea. After a few drinks, he opens his notes and reads them slowly.
The notes were written with a brush and in regular script, which was very neat. It was quite different from Zhang huoni's handwriting that Chu Chen had seen before. If it wasn't for the shadow of Zhang huoni's pen between the lines, and the word "notes" on the inner wall of the paper mallet bottle, it would be hard for him to think that this note would have been written by Zhang huoni.
In addition, the contents of the notes have nothing to do with the porcelain. Chu Chen saw from the beginning to the end, and basically wrote about the romance, the snow and the moon, as well as the feelings about life. If he didn't know, he thought it was something written by a young man of literature and art.
At the end, Chu Chen could not help but feel strange. He could not see any secret hidden in such notes. Was it not written by Zhang huoni, or was it written by Zhang huoni, but it was not written on the inner wall of the bottle?
Chu Chen frowned and thought for a while. He thought that since it was a secret, it would not be easy to find it. Now the words on his notes are written vertically, so he was ready to try again to see if he could find anything by reading horizontally.
Next, he patiently and meticulously read the notes horizontally, but was disappointed to find that there was still no clue.
"I can't believe it
Chu Chen took a long breath and was ready to read it again. In fact, he did it as a living horse doctor. Unexpectedly, when he saw the last page, he really combined a sentence: "why don't you try it on fire?".
"Why don't you try the fire? What does this sentence mean? Is there anything else in this notebook? "
Thinking of this, Chu Chen read the notes inside and outside again, and found that with the thickness of the paper, even the cover can't contain anything, which made his face look puzzled again. Is it necessary to burn the notes to find the secret?
Chuchen thought about it, but immediately he thought that if this sentence didn't mean what he thought, then the thing would burn out, and there would be nothing left.
"What does that mean?"
Chu Chen thought while unconsciously turning the paper. After a while, he came back to himself and decided that since there was a hidden danger, he had better put it down first.
So he lowered his head to put the note away. Suddenly, he noticed that a place on the blank paper behind the note seemed to be different from the color of the page with handwriting.
Originally, he thought it had nothing to do with the tide. But just as he was about to put the book together, a flash of inspiration occurred in his mind, and suddenly he thought of a possibility. He quickly turned to the page again, and after careful identification, he found that the places with different colors seemed to have certain shapes.
Moreover, not only on this piece of paper, but also on the following four blank pages.
"Are these papers written in invisible ink, and only after they have been roasted by fire can they be seen?" Chu Chen thought excitedly.
Speaking of this, some friends may think that invisible ink is magical. In fact, invisible ink is easy to find in our life. For example, to the supermarket to buy a fresh lemon, and then squeeze out the lemon juice and water mixed into a solution, poured into the pen, write on the paper, air dry it.
If you want the words to show up, just put the paper on the lamp and bake it.
Of course, this is very simple and convenient. In Chu Chen's memory, there is another troublesome method. If this method wants to appear, it just needs to be roasted with fire.
Specifically, first prepare a small bottle of 0.1 molgl cobalt chloride solution, and then write a "secret letter" on white paper with a water absorbent pen or writing brush. The dilute solution of cobalt chloride is light pink, so when the cobalt chloride solution is written on the paper, after the paper is dry, you can hardly see any color on the paper.
Note that this is almost the same. If you look at it carefully, you may find something different. In particular, this note in Chu Chen's hand has gone through several decades, and the paper has been oxidized and yellowing. Therefore, if you look at it carefully, you should be more conspicuous.
If you want to read something written in this ink, you just need to put the paper on the stove to bake, or put the writing paper on the alcohol lamp flame to heat slightly, the cobalt chloride hexahydrate on the writing paper will dehydrate into blue cobalt chloride, and the blue "secret letter" will appear on it.
After reading, as long as you spray a little water mist on the letter paper, the blue words on the letter paper will disappear again, and the content of the letter can still be kept secret.
After discovering this, Chu Chen immediately wanted to go downstairs to buy an alcohol lamp. However, on second thought, it's almost 11 p.m. now, where can I buy an alcohol lamp? Although it's OK to use a candle, there is smoke when the candle burns, which will blacken the paper.Finally, Chu Chen considered that the birthday party was scheduled for tomorrow night. During the day, he had time to buy back the alcohol lamp. Moreover, even if there is no time tomorrow, it doesn't matter. Anyway, the thing is already in his hands, and it can't become a cooked duck
Nothing happened overnight. The next day, after breakfast in the hotel, Zhu Dafu took Chu Chen and others to his boxing friends in Jinling. After introducing Meng Yixian to his boxing friends, the two sides discussed boxing skills for a long time. When they went back, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.
Although this delayed Chu Chen's work, from today's discussion, he figured out a difficult problem that had stuck him for a long time and greatly advanced the time for his fist to break through again. It can be said that he gained a lot.
Back to the hotel to get a gift, the party nonstop ride to the destination.
After driving for more than an hour, the car stopped in front of an ordinary Jiangnan residence.
Chuchen walked out of the car and saw the pink walls, the number of Ying houses, and the thousands of bamboos dancing.
It is said that once upon a time, this place was a barren hillock. The old man followed the example of the forerunners in the village to open up barren hillock, open orchard, plant bamboo, pine, mulberry and peach, and devote himself to studying poetry, calligraphy and painting. Now, it's full of beautiful trees, which makes people happy. It's really a good place to live in.
"Brother Zhu, brother Meng..."
At this time, Ling Qingli, Mr. Ling's son, was standing at the door to welcome the guests. Beside him were several young men and women, who should be the younger generation of Mr. Ling. (the characters in this book are all virtual. Please don't take your seats according to the number. Thank you for your support!)
"Your brother..." Zhu Dafu took the lead to greet him, followed by a burst of greetings.
"Brother Ling, I'm here uninvited today. Please forgive me!" Meng Yi expressed his apology with a smile.
Ling Qingli said with a smile: "as the saying goes, it's a pleasure to have friends coming from afar. You are very welcome to our family. What's the point of Haihan..."
Later, everyone chatted a few words. Seeing that there were other guests coming, Zhu Dafu quickly said, "brother, let's go first and say hello to the old man."
Ling Qingli agreed with a smile, and then asked a young man next to him to take all the people to visit Mr. Ling.
When you enter the courtyard, you can see that the pines and mulberry are magnificent, green and colorful, and the surrounding houses are hidden in the bamboo forest. The environment is really beautiful.
Because the weather was still cold, it was evening, and the old man was old, so he caught cold. At this time, he was still resting in his room.
The young man took you to Mr. Ling's house. There was only one table, one chair, one bed and two cabinets in the room. It was simple and plain, indifferent and poor. If you don't say it, you really think you have entered a poor family.
It is unthinkable to make the old man be content with poverty, indifferent to fame and wealth, devoted to art, and indifferent to his belongings without entering his house.
Just now, Ling Lao was reading a book. When he saw the crowd coming in, his face showed a smile.
Seeing this, Zhu Dafu quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the old man: "master, I've come to pay you a birthday."
Make old smile said: "rich, you work so busy, and in the capital, also come to see me, really intentional."
Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "I drink tea and go shopping every day. What's so busy! Besides, you are nine or ten years old. Even if I am at the end of the world, I have to come here! "
Make old smell speech ha ha a smile, afterward other people also hurriedly forward to give a greeting.
When he heard that chuchen was Liu's disciple, he said with a smile, "little Chu, how is your master's health?"
Chu Chen quickly replied: "his body is very strong. He asked me to take a message to you. I wish you happiness and longevity."
"Good, good! Brother Anren has a heart Make old say with smile.
"Besides, he asked me to give you a present." With that, Chu Chen handed a painting and calligraphy brocade box to him.
He took the box with a smile and asked, "Oh! Xiao Chu, I wonder if you can tell me whose work it is? "
"It's a five character poem in Wang Duo's running script." Chuchen returned with a smile.
"What Make old smell speech tiny a Leng, then some can't wait to say: "that I have to appreciate first good just go!"
Linglao's achievements in calligraphy are inseparable from his study of other people's calligraphy, among which Wang Duo's running calligraphy and cursive calligraphy are the most influential.
At that time, he sought the integration of various cursive methods, especially the adaptation of huaisu's and Wangduo's cursive methods. Because he had a deep understanding of Wang Duo's cursive script, he was afraid to follow the old way and could not create a new situation. Therefore, he did the opposite and tried to reform, and finally formed his current calligraphy style.
