Chapter 693 Falling Flower Poetry Book
The stall owner saw that Zhu Dafu and the others were all looking fake. Such things were obviously not worth much. Even if all the items from the four candidates were added up, they would not cost more than 100 yuan. This made him very upset.

At this time, he saw Chu Chen flipping through those books, and he seemed to be interested, so he quickly said to Chu Chen, "Little brother, those few books can only be sold in packages."

The reason why he said he wanted to pack and sell it was because he wanted to earn more money from Chu Chen. Of course, it didn't matter if Chu Chen didn't buy it. He didn't worry about not being able to sell a genuine product like this.

"Package and sale?" Chu Chen had never encountered such a thing, so he felt a little funny for a while.

"Correct!"

"How much will that cost?"

The stall owner thought for a while and said, "It's eight hundred in total."

There are only ten ancient books here, and Chu Chen has read the five above. They are all ordinary engraved books from the late Qing Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty. The remaining five books should not be much better.Such a thing costs [-] yuan, so he definitely won't be interested in it. Instead of doing this, he might as well choose something cheaper.

However, just when he wanted to refuse, he discovered that the seventh ancient book was actually an album.

Album is a form of mounting for calligraphy and painting works, and it is also one of the traditional forms of book binding in ancient my country.Calligraphy and painting album pages appeared under the influence of book album packaging in the Song Dynasty.As a kind of calligraphy and painting sketch, its small size, easy to create and easy to preserve are deeply loved by calligraphers, painters and collectors.

When he found out that it was an album, Chu Chen curiously opened it up and took a look. After seeing it, he couldn't even mention the surprise in his heart.Fortunately, his reaction speed was very fast, and he quickly flipped through the things pretending to be casual, and then flipped through the remaining three books.

To Chu Chen's surprise, the last one was actually a note written by someone, and the handwriting on it made him feel a little familiar, which surprised him very much.

Of course, at this moment, it is obviously not the time to think. Zhu Dafu and others have already selected things, and the transaction has been completed.

As for the price, it is actually similar to what the stall owner estimated just now, less than 100 yuan. However, Zhu Dafu and the others will not pay Ji Wanyou's money. The handle was in the hands of the stall owner, so he could only swallow his anger.

"Boss, these books of yours are all ordinary printed books, can they still be worth [-]?" Chu Chen didn't use that notebook as an issue. Discover the extraordinaryness of that album.

The things Ji Wanyou selected cost nothing to the stall owner. He earned 200 yuan, and he was in a very good mood. In addition, he had roughly read the above books and knew that such ordinary goods were not worth much, so He smiled and asked, "Then how much do you want?"

"Two hundred!"

"This won't work!" The stall owner shook his head repeatedly and said, "Two hundred is too little, not enough for my capital, at least six hundred!"

"Boss, these things of yours are too ordinary. If I didn't like to collect such books, I really wouldn't buy such things. How about it, I'll add another forty."

"No, no matter how good this thing is, it is from the Qing Dynasty. With your price, this business cannot be done. If you really want it, I will count it as five hundred..."

Next, after some haggling between the two, the price was set at three hundred and two.

After paying the money, Chu Chen smiled jokingly at the stall owner, then took out the album, handed it to Zhu Dafu and said:

"Uncle Fu, what do you think of this album?"

Zhu Dafu originally told Chu Chen that he liked to collect ancient books, which was a little strange. Seeing this situation, he didn't understand that Chu Chen might have missed it again, so he quickly took the album into his hands.

This is a folded album, and there is no writing on the cover. Zhu Dafu carefully opened the album, and when he saw the contents inside, his eyes widened suddenly, his face revealed an expression of disbelief, and then he raised his head Come, shocked and asked Chu Chen: "Is this Tang Yin's "Falling Flower Poems"?"

"what?"

"Tang Yin's "Falling Flower Poetry Book"?" The people around heard that it was actually Tang Bohu's property, and hurriedly gathered around, vying to watch it.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen secretly said "mistake". The reason why he took out the things now is to stimulate the stall owner who wants to "touch porcelain" and let him learn a lesson.However, he forgot that others are not as used to such good things as he is.

Fortunately, this booth was relatively remote, and there were not many people around. Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, Zhu Dafu quickly closed the album and hugged the things in his arms.

At this time, Qiao Qingtai hurriedly urged: "Let's go! Let's go back and talk!"
Everyone agreed one after another, so they immediately squeezed out the crowd and walked back quickly.

As soon as Chu Chen and the others left, a nearly 60-year-old man came up behind him. Seeing many people sighing "It's a pity", he asked curiously, "What's wrong, what happened?"

One of them knew the old man, so he explained: "It's Mr. An! Just now, Meng Yixian, shopkeeper Meng, got a copy of Tang Yin's "Falling Flower Poems" here..."

Before the man finished speaking, the old man said in surprise: "What, you say it's true?"

The man shook his head: "I don't know whether the thing is true or not!"

Someone next to him said: "I think it's really possible. You don't know, that young man is not simple. If I'm not mistaken, he should be the expert named Chu Chen who has been on Beijing TV."

"Ah! Now that you said that, I really remembered it. It seems that it is really him. I heard that this person is of a very high level, and he is also the favorite student of Mr. Liu in the capital..."

Hearing this, the old man seemed very anxious, and quickly yelled and chased in the direction Chu Chen left.

At the same time, the stall owner was completely stunned. He instinctively thought that it was Chu Chen who wanted to set him up, so no matter what, he would not believe it.But in the end, someone said that Chu Chen was the expert who had been on the TV station in Beijing, and he remembered that it really seemed to be the case.

Knowing such a situation, he no longer knew what to say, and secretly said: "Could it be that I really missed a shocking omission, how is this possible? It's impossible...it's impossible!"

Thinking of the end, the stall owner couldn't help but roared.

"Go, go! This guy must be crazy!"

Seeing the stall owner's ferocious expression, someone hurriedly urged his friend to leave quickly, and everyone scattered in fear of avoiding it.

Not long after Chu Chen and the others left, Meng Yi first saw Ji Wanyou who was still following them, and said with disgust, "What are you still doing?"

Ji Wanyou was taken aback for a moment, then he opened his mouth, only to find that he really had no suitable reason.

"Wanyou, you should go back first!" Ji Haoliang also said, at this moment he has realized that it is very likely that Ji Wanyou was also involved in today's matter, but he is still out of face, so he does not If you don't, you will be rude to Ji Wanyou now.

Hearing this, Ji Wanyou had no choice but to leave. When he walked to a place where Chu Chen and others could not see him, he spat fiercely in the direction of Chu Chen and others: "A group of ungrateful guys, if it weren't for me, you There is no chance of picking up the leak... Hey! If I knew this, why didn't I look through those books first..."

Unexpectedly, Ji Wanyou was envious and jealous there, and as soon as he left, the old man chased after him.

Hearing the old man's cry, Chu Chen and the others turned their heads, and when he ran up to him, Meng Yixian asked with a smile:

"I said, old An, what's wrong with you?"

The old man took a few deep breaths, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "I'm so exhausted, oh! I don't know who it is, it turns out to be Lao Zhu and Lao Qiao! This must be Mr. Liu's." Gaotu, Chu Chen?"

It turned out that the old man's name was An Gongshi, he opened an antique shop not far away, and he was old friends with Zhu Dafu and others.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, An Gongshi hurriedly said: "I heard that Xiao Chu found Tang Yin's "Falling Flower Poetry Book" just now? Could you let me see it?"

"Of course it is possible, but should we talk about it in another place?" Chu Chen said with a smile.

"exactly……"

An Gongshi nodded repeatedly, and then led everyone to a nearby tea house.

After the waiter left, under everyone's expectant eyes, he took out Tang Yin's "Book of Poems of Falling Flowers" that he just got and unfolded it.

In the history of Chinese art, the late Ming Dynasty is a peak, and in the history of late Ming art, Tang Yin is also a peak. Tang Yin, Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, and Qiu Ying are called the "Four Masters of the Ming Dynasty", and Tang Yin is also the "Wu School of the late Ming Dynasty". The leader of the "School of Calligraphy", the "School of Calligraphy of the Wu School" had a profound influence on the later history of Chinese calligraphy and even today's calligraphers of the Wu School.

In the impression of ordinary people, Tang Yin seems to be just a "talented man" who can recite little poems and make small paintings. This kind of "talented man" can be seen almost everywhere in the Jiangnan area during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. important place in art history.

However, in fact, Tang Yin is by no means a flirtatious talent and petty literati in the eyes of ordinary people, but an art master with independent artistic character and artistic spirit.

Although later generations call Tang Yin "the number one romantic talent in the south of the Yangtze River", in fact Tang Yin is not really romantic, but has experienced bitterness and suffering. Tang Yin is actually a spiritual catharsis of his cruel reality and tragic life through art. Artistic all-rounder.

Tang Yin once won the first place in the provincial examination in his early years. Later, he was implicated in a fraud case in the examination hall, his fame was frustrated, and his family was in trouble. In the second half of his life, he built a "Peach Blossom Temple" in Taohuawu, northwest of Gusu City, and became famous for selling literature and paintings.Personal setbacks prompted him to adopt a wild and cynical lifestyle.

However, different from other artists, Tang Yin's poems, calligraphy and paintings lack the feelings of compassion and resentment of other literati, but more open-minded, detached and leisurely. Peace, this is the high state of art, the high state of life.
