Chapter 39: Seeing the Parents
The atmosphere in the Western Regions is much more open than that in the Central Plains.
There was no cliché in the Western Regions, and they had relatively certain freedoms in marriage.
Of course, this is not absolute. Arranged marriages still exist even in the 21st century, let alone in ancient times. Relatively speaking, as long as the two people are in love and the gap between their identities is not very different, there are very few things like breaking up couples in the Western Regions.
For some reason, unmarried men and women often have the first choice in the Western Regions.
They choose a partner and then make the decision by both parents.
Wu Qier is also at the age of marriage. She has a decent personality and a good appearance. There is no shortage of suitors around her. However, no one has confessed to her so boldly and directly.
Even though she was born in the Western Regions, she was so embarrassed that she was at a loss, blushed and didn't know how to face it. Looking at the heroic Wang Zhongsi, thinking about his conversation, the talent he showed, the heroic spirit he used to fight against the enemy in the past, and thinking about Yanzhi, her unexpected heart was like a deer.
"Okay!" Wu Qier was from the Western Regions after all, so she responded frankly and readily.
Wang Zhongsixi said: "Wait a minute, I will take you to see my mother!"
Wu Qier was stunned and said shyly: "Will it be too fast?"
"No, no, no!" Wang Zhongsi said softly: "My mother wishes me to marry a wife earlier, give birth to a fat boy for her, and pass on the family line for me. Brother Min has little sevens and little eights, but my mother is envious. You are so beautiful and have such a good personality, so you must be fine!"
Wu Qier gave the praise sweet heart, twisted the corner of her clothes, and plucked up the courage, "I'll go!"
Li Bai has been paying attention to the situation on Wang Zhongsi's side. It is not that he knew that most of the drinkers around him were because he had Pei Min behind him, and a small part was because he was generous, and only some of them really made friends with him.
It’s just that he is open-minded and doesn’t care about these details.
For him, money is something outside of his body. As long as he is happy, his wealth will be gone and he will come back again. Everything doesn't matter.
But what is a friend who is a wine and meat, and what is a true confidant? Li Bai's heart is as clear as a mirror.
This is also the difference in character between Li Bai and Wang Zhongsi.
Wang Zhongsi was steady and focused on practicality, while Li Bai was not careful about the details, had the spirit of chivalrousness, and had the style of Mengchang who was righteous and wealthy.
Li Bai knew that Wang Zhongsi didn't like the group he had made friends with, and did not force him to join them, but he kept paying attention to his movements. Seeing that he had settled a beautiful woman in a few words, he even wanted to lead him to meet his parents... This method really made him admire him and secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Wang Zhongsi ignored Li Bai's encouragement and said, "Tomorrow, will the girl have time? Brother Min asked us to enjoy the lanterns and celebrate the Lantern Festival together, so you can come together!"
Wu Qier responded again and said, "My name is Wu Qier, Wu Qier Bert Gaders, you can call me Wu Qier."

Yan Mansion!
Pei Min advised Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy as promised.
Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy has a very high status in the history of Chinese calligraphy. Like Wang Xizhi, he set a precedent in a calligraphy era.
Wang Xizhi learned a wide range of strengths, got rid of the style of Han and Wei Dynasty, and his calligraphy was unique and had a profound influence. Yan Zhenqing completely got rid of the style of the early Tang Dynasty, created a new era of calligraphy style called "Yan style", and created a unique calligraphy realm, which was therefore called the sub-saint of the calligraphy world.
However, at this time, Yan Zhenqing still had great shortcomings in calligraphy and had many problems. Although he was gifted, his age and experience and lack of guidance from famous teachers were his current flaws.
Yan Gaoqing's political talent is beyond doubt, but in calligraphy, it is average, and it is difficult to give Yan Zhenqing a unique insight.
Yan Zhenqing's early mentor, Yan Yuansun, also died of illness three years ago. Therefore, Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy has reached its own bottle top and has not made any progress for a long time.
This is also the reason why Yan Zhenqing was excited when he saw Pei Min coming to the mansion.
After spending a day with Xiaoqi and Xiaoba in Yan's mansion, Yan Zhenqing also relaxed for a long time and accepted Pei Min's guidance happily.
Pei Min is not a real calligrapher to be strict. He specializes in regular script and has an average level of other cursive scripts, running scripts, etc., but his regular script is extremely high. Especially inspired by Li Bai's "Hu Wuren", he reached the state of subtle inside the characters and magnificent outside the characters.
Yan Zhenqing also mainly uses regular script, which is right for Pei Min's approach.
Pei Min was more than enough to give advice to Yan Zhenqing when she was a young man.
"The Tao Te Ching says, 'Govern a big country, if you cook a small fresh', calligraphy can also be used in this principle. Based on my understanding of calligraphy, calligraphy is divided into several realms. First, solid bone body, second, majestic style of calligraphy; third, subtle inside the characters, fourth, majestic outside the characters, and finally it should be a change of spirit. These realms are like stir-frying a dish and building a house, and none of them are missing. If the strength is insufficient, the bone body is not solid enough, and there is no such thing as the word "magic"? If the calligraphy does not have a certain realm, how can we strive for excellence? If the characters are not refined enough, let alone outside the characters. Step by step, don't be depressed for a long time of stagnation in calligraphy. There is another explanation for stagnation to consolidate the foundation. The more stable the foundation, the greater the future achievements."
Yan Zhenqing listened very seriously and carefully, and Xiaoqi and Xiaoba also looked at their father with admiration, with little stars flashing in his eyes.
"What level does Brother Min reach?" Yan Zhenqing asked curiously.
"To be precise, it should be the subtle inside the characters. In terms of the details, Brother Min asked himself that he had done enough. The magnificent artistic conception outside the characters requires inspiration and exercise, and he cannot do whatever he wants." Pei Min touched Yan Zhenqing's head and said.
"Even Brother Min has not reached the fourth level? Then can anyone in the world reach the realm of transformation of gods?"
"Of course there is!" Pei Min smiled slightly and said, "My old brother Zhang Xu, as far as I know, he is the only one in the world who is extraordinary and saint in calligraphy. If you have the opportunity, I will introduce him to you. In calligraphy, Brother Zhang is not a little better than me."
After saying goodbye to the Yan family, Pei Min took Xiaoqi and Xiaoba home.
On the way, Xiaoqi and Xiaoba chattered about the experiences of Yan's mansion.
Pei Min listened all the way, and was in a happy mood and was very content with his decision. The decision to bring two little guys to see the world was obviously right.
It is also very beneficial to them to have Yan Zhenqing as an example.
When he returned to Pei's mansion, Pei Min learned that Wang Zhongsi had brought a wife home almost immediately.
Instantly, Pei Minlei's inside is burnt and tender outside is tender.
Pei Min talked with Wang Zhongsi not long ago because the Queen Mother found him.
The Queen Mother was unwilling to join the army, and it was not that she was unwilling to join the army. Instead, she hoped that Wang Zhongsi could leave a back-end for the Wang family and then join the army.
In this way, even if there is an accident, the Wang family will not have no descendants.
The Queen Mother’s request is reasonable. If Wang Haibin is such a hero, how can he be worthy of him after he is defeated?
