He Ya Ru heard it clearly, this time the old lady addressed Li Shi as "Mr. Li". The "Mr." here wasn't akin to the male equivalent of "Madam", instead, it referred to the "Mr." that signifies an accomplished person or a worthy mentor.
She maintained a mother-daughter relationship with her aunt.
But before Li Shi's...calligraphic work, neither mother nor daughter mattered!
Earlier, on her way to pick up Wu Yuan, she had already admired this calligraphy. Despite her keen eye not being on par with her aunt's, she could still perceive the extraordinary nature of this work—actually,"Orchid Pavilion Poem"is a famous piece known to all calligraphy enthusiasts and has been imitated numerous times. The quality of imitation and the level of skill displayed are the easiest to judge.
Upon opening and observing Li Shi's imitation, one is immediately struck by a beauty that is pure and natural; it resembles a picturesque landscape of clear mountains and beautiful rivers.
