Jianbao life

Chapter 126
After picking up the pen container, what caught everyone's eyes was a stack of folded thick rice paper, and the outside of the rice paper was wrapped in a plastic bag. Chu Chen probably did this to prevent moisture.Such a thick stack of rice paper fills the bottom of the entire pen container, so the movable bottom of the container will not be so easy to loosen.

According to Chu Chen's previous experience, he knew that the contents inside should be extraordinary, and since it was rice paper, it was likely to be calligraphy and painting by famous artists.

Carefully took the rice paper out of the plastic bag, and just put it on the table, an accident happened, I saw the rice paper bounced with a "pop", which shocked everyone.

After a closer look, I found that when the previous owner put it in, in order to avoid breaking the rice paper, the folded place was carefully padded with sponge or something like that, so the accident happened just now.

Fortunately, the table has been cleaned up just now, and there are no teacups or anything like that, otherwise, if it accidentally got wet just now, it would be troublesome.

Chu Chen carefully spread the cleared rice paper on the table, and took a closer look. It turned out that it was a calligraphy work, and the inscription on it was "Walking Among the Flowers" by Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Jiuling.

The orchid leaves are luxuriant in spring, and the osmanthus flowers are bright and clean in autumn.Xinxin this business, since Seoul is a festival.Who knows that those who live in the forest will sit and enjoy each other when they hear the wind.Plants and trees have their own hearts, so why ask for beauty?Xiangyang Mi Fu.

The seal is Mi Fu's seal.There are also several bell seals and collection seals, each of which represents a famous figure in history.

"This... this is actually a work by Mi Fu!"

With those bell seals and Mr. Liu's professional level of painting and calligraphy for many years, he immediately concluded that this was an authentic calligraphy by Mi Fu, and he couldn't help being surprised.

Mi Fu, a character Zhang, was named Fu in his early years. After the age of 41, his books were changed to "Fu", and he was named Lumen Jushi, Xiangyang Manshi, and Haiyue Waishi.It is known as "Mi Nangong" and "Mi Xiangyang" in the world.During the reign of Xuanhe Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, he was awarded a doctorate degree in calligraphy and painting. He served successively in Yongqiu County, Zhilianshui Army, Wuwei Army, Huaiyang Army, and later officials to Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Rites.

Mi Fu is a calligrapher, painter, connoisseur and collector in one, with a wide range of interests.

He has studied calligraphy the most in his life, and his greatest achievements are in running script.Although the paintings are not handed down to the world, there are many calligraphy works. Among the famous remittances since the Southern Song Dynasty, most of them are engraved with their calligraphy. Its spread is wide and its influence is far-reaching. It can be said that it is the only one among calligraphers in the Song Dynasty. .

His calligraphy style is free and unrestrained, but also strict in law. Su Dongpo praised his "truth, cursive, official script, and seal script, like horses in the wind and masts, calm and joyful, and should go hand in hand with Zhong Wang. Not only worthy of it."The so-called composure means that the brushwork is meticulous, the stippling is precise, and has a deep state of mind; the so-called "happy" means that the brush is swift, dripping and smooth, vigorous and majestic.

Mi Fu's calligraphy is ranked among the four masters of the Song Dynasty, after Su Dongpo and Huang Tingjian, and before Cai Xiang.But as far as the art of calligraphy is concerned, Mi Fu's traditional skills are the most profound, especially running script, which is the right of the two.

Seeing that it was Mi Fu's work, Mr. Liu immediately took out the magnifying glass, almost sticking his face on it. After looking at the work carefully, he put down the magnifying glass and let out a long sigh of relief. Admired:

"Worthy of being Mi Fu's work, it is full of charm, calm and happy. No wonder Dong Qichang of the Ming Dynasty wrote in his "Painting Zen Room Essays", "I commented on Mi characters and thought that the Song Dynasty was the first. After all, it came from Dongpo. superior.That is to say, Mi Dianshu got it from his own rate, and changed it in his later years, which is as cold as water. "It is indeed worthy of the name!"

After Chu Chen read it carefully, he couldn't help sighing: "No wonder when the emperor asked about his calligraphy, Mi Fu would call himself "brush characters". , exhilarating, full of vicissitudes, vigorous and fresh."

"For the calligraphy in front of me, it can be said that I did my best to write it to the end. It is indeed worthy of being called "painting characters". These two characters completely point to the essence of Mi Fu's own calligraphy."

Mr. Liu nodded, and said: "Xiao Chu, you are right. Although this work has few words, its writing power and skills are not inferior to those of his hand scrolls. It can be regarded as Mi Fu's work." Excellent work, Xiao Chu, you are lucky!"

Chu Chen scratched his head and said with a naive smile, "Luck is just luck."

Liu Qinshu said enviously: "Xiao Chu, your luck is really good, I have nothing to say, I think I should try the pen holder when I encounter it in the future, maybe I can be like you, Xiao Chu, and there is heaven and earth in it. "

Mr. Liu shook his head and said with a smile: "Xiao Shu, luck is the key if you want to pick the wrong ones. If you are not lucky, you will spend your whole life on a plant, and you will not be able to catch a rabbit. Let me just say you, and follow me." I have learned antiques for many years, not to mention big leaks, I haven’t encountered many small leaks, I think you should stop thinking about picking up leaks.”

"Huh! I don't, I can't believe it, I can't find a big leak in my life!"

Mr. Liu laughed and said, "Look at you, you're playing childish again. Whatever you want, anyway, you have a lot of money, and you don't feel bad about wasting a few. Xiao Chu, what are you going to do with this calligraphy work by Mi Fu? Don't worry, I'm sure I won't ask you for it?"

Chu Chen thought for a while, and replied: "Mr. Liu, I will definitely not sell this piece of calligraphy. After all, fine calligraphy like Mi Fu is rare. But although this pen holder was given to me by the original owner, But he didn’t know that there was a work hidden in it, so I always felt that getting it was a bit unfair, awkward, and awkward.”

Mr. Liu nodded and said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, if you think this way, it shows that you have a kind heart, but you can rest assured that this thing is actually like picking up leaks from antiques. Could it be that if you buy it based on your eyesight, you will return it?" Should I make up some more money? Let me tell you, treasures are for the virtuous to live in, and since he hasn’t discovered them, he won’t be able to enjoy them.”

Liu Qinshu interjected: "That's right, my dad is right, Xiao Chu, you deserve this thing. My dad finally said it again, and he wants 3000 million. It's really heartless. Xiao Chu, you I don't know, when their family bought the villa, it only cost 30 yuan, you said he was black-hearted."

Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "Okay, Xiao Shu, don't talk about it. Xiao Zhang also has difficulties. It's not like you don't know that he wants to buy a property in Jin Province. He is the only one of his brothers now. , it’s hard enough for him. Besides, isn’t the price he offered also the market price?”

Liu Qinshu still said a little resentfully: "Dad, you know how to protect him. How much does it cost him to buy a house as a mayor? He is not a clean official. You don't know how good he was in the Ministry of Communications before. If it weren't for him If a minister is changed, how can he go down? Besides, if you defend him like this, he still gives you a market price."

Mr. Liu smiled wryly and shook his head. How could he not know what Liu Qinshu said, but after all, he is the only son of his old friend, and he has to take care of him. As for Chu Chen, he can only wrong him temporarily.Fortunately, the accidental acquisition of this Mi Fu's work can be regarded as making up for some losses, and it made Mr. Liu feel a little better.

However, if Chu Chen knew what was going on in Mr. Liu's heart, he would definitely be more grateful to Mr. Liu. In fact, he bought this villa of nearly 3000 square meters for [-] million, and Chu Chen already felt that he had picked up a bargain. After all He is just an ordinary person, without the help of Mr. Liu, he can only think about it in his heart, and now he is very content.

As the old saying goes, those who are content are always happy!

So Chu Chen quickly smoothed things over and said, "Mr. Liu, Aunt Liu, I already think it's pretty good if I can buy it for 3000 million yuan, and now I have this work by Mi Fu, isn't it equivalent to winning the [-] Is it a discount? If it is someone else, how can such a good thing come?"

Liu Qinshu said: "If it's someone else, the pen holder is also a gift."

Chu Chen chuckled and said: "But other people will not think of checking the pen holder like me. Unless you accidentally drop the pen holder, otherwise you won't know the year of the monkey, and this work will be born!"

Liu Qinshu shook her head, and said, "You, you obviously suffered a disadvantage, it seems like you have taken advantage of it."

Chu Chen said with a smile: "I am contented and happy."

Mr. Liu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "What a happy person, Xiao Shu, you should learn from Xiao Chu, don't be fussy about one thing, lose money when the moon is full, overflow when the water is full, and be confused when you should be confused." You should be confused, otherwise you will be so tired all your life! Well, let’s not talk about this topic, Xiao Chu, this work will stay here, and I will frame it for you, how about it?”

Chu Chen nodded quickly, and said, "Old Liu, of course I am willing, but it's just too much trouble for you."

Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "What's the trouble? I wish you could frame me often for works like this. By the way, you happened to come over today. You can take back the two previous works. "

"Old Liu, didn't you agree to keep the picture of bamboo and stone for a month?"

Mr. Liu shook his head and said, "It's enough for you to have this heart. Besides, if you move here in the future, I can see it if you want, unless you don't want to show it to me."

Chu Chen said quickly: "How is this possible? If you want to see it then, just call me."

Next, after Mr. Liu gave him some more information on antiques, he went to take a nap.Originally, Chu Chen was ready to go home, but he didn't expect that the designer Liu Qinshu mentioned had already arrived.

The designer's surname is Shi, and he looks about 60 years old. After talking with him, it turns out that he is actually a professor of architecture at Capital University, and two of his students came with him.
