In Tang Ding's eyes, this chubby Mr. Wang's eyes flashed with the cunning unique to a businessman, and Tang Ding pretended to be silent about his words.

"By the way, I have a question below, and I would like to ask Assistant Tang," Mr. Wang pointed to a painting and asked, "Assistant Tang will tell me about this painting?"

Tang Ding looked at the "Cold Mountain Looking at the Snow Map" that Mr. Wang said.

To be honest, this painting is the most charming one of today's art exhibitions that Tang Ding has ever seen.

Of course, Tang Ding's favorite is traditional ink landscape painting, as for those realistic gongbi paintings, watercolor paintings, etc., there is no room for imagination, Tang Ding does not like it.

"The cold mountains look at the snow, the rolling mountains, you can't see the mountains, you only see the snow. Looking at the snow, you can't see it, and you can only see the snow. Although this painting is full of snow, the artistic conception is in sight. Whoever is looking, is watching. Where the people are, they are in the pagoda. The cold mountains and snow, the people in the tower, a few strokes, but the lonely and hopeful state of mind of the people in the tower is revealed. ”

"There must be loneliness, heavy snow covers the mountains, and you are trapped in a lonely tower. How can the snowman hope again?" Mr. Wang continued to ask.

"Of course there is hope, and it is hope that is greater than loneliness. Tang Ding talked eloquently, as if he was in a lonely tower in the middle of the snow-covered mountains.

"Why do you have such a mood? Shu Lao also said in the introduction that he wanted to name this painting "Hope", but it was kitsch, and finally named it "Looking at Snow in the Cold Mountain"?

At this time, more and more people gathered around Tang Ding, and there were fewer and fewer people commenting on paintings on the spot, because now people are more and more afraid of making a fool of themselves, and no one dares to speak easily.

"Looking at the snow in the cold mountains, looking at it, itself has the meaning of hope, after winter is spring, everything is about to recover under the heavy snow, and the heavy snow is covered with hope. And there is no one in the tower, but only the snow in the sky, it can be seen that this person is extremely broad-minded, and only a person with a broad heart will have this kind of mood of looking at the snow. ”

"Well said, well said!" said an old man in the crowd who took the lead in applauding.

Although Mr. Wang also agreed with Tang Ding's words, he was unwilling to let a young man be in the limelight, "Then ask Assistant Tang to estimate the price of Master Shu's painting!"

Don Ding was a little hesitant.

Tang Ding can tell the artistic conception of this painting, but it does not mean that he knows the price of this painting. If you want to calculate it according to the cost, the rice paper plus pen and ink will be ten yuan, which is the sky.

But this calligraphy and painting is not so simple as the cost, the price is not easy to estimate, I heard that calligraphy and painting are profiteering, how should it be sold for more than a hundred dollars, yes, definitely more than that.

The cost of ten yuan is not used, and selling it for 1,000 yuan is equivalent to a hundred times the profit, and this profit is not low.

According to Marx's theory of capital: if you have 50 percent of the profits, you will take risks. With 100% profits, you dare to trample on all the laws of the world. With a profit of three hundred percent, you dare to risk going to the gallows!

No, this person is called a master, and his level must be not ordinary, so Tang Ding will try to give him an overestimate, according to the profit of 300%.

Tang Ding slowly stretched out three fingers, and said in his heart that the price of this painting of 3,000 is definitely sky-high.

A painting sells for three thousand, which is simply a money grab. I and my master often paint in Taoist temples, not to mention Master, even if I paint by myself, it is not necessarily worse than this. If you sell this painting for 3,000 a day, wouldn't you have a daily income of 350,000?

Mr. Wang saw Tang Ding stretch out three fingers, he was surprised in his heart, people can't look good, this male assistant of Xing Muliu is indeed level. Whether it is appreciation or appraisal, it is like a veteran who has been immersed in the industry for many years.

This painting is very intentional to him, and Mr. Wang has long wanted to take it. He specially asked someone to appraise the price, and the experts' estimate was three million.

"High, high, really high. This painting is worth three million, Mr. Tang is a master, and he really has a tiger general, Wang admires. Mr. Wang clenched his fists with both hands and bowed to the wind.

Three million? Tang Ding's heart turned up a monstrous wave.

Just such a painting is worth three million? Tang Dinh really wants to ask weakly, Is it the yen, or is it the Vietnamese dong?

"Yes, that's right!" an old man walked out of the crowd, and the old man came straight to Tang Ding.

The old man walked up to Tang Ding and looked at him carefully, "I just listened to your description of the artistic conception of this cold mountain and looking at the snow, I heard you say that in addition to hope and loneliness in this artistic conception, then I may ask what is the loneliness of the people in the tower?"

"He is lonely and has no talents, and he is lonely and looks at the cold mountains and snow, but he is ignorant. ”

"Okay, that's a good point, bosom friend. As soon as the old man pulled Tang Ding's shoulder, he had to talk to Tang Ding alone.

"Old Shu?" Mr. Wang shouted and followed with Xing Muliu.

"Who is Old Shu?"

The people who heard Mr. Wang's words asked the people around them one after another.

"Shu Lao? is the author of this painting, Shu Hai Shu Lao, known as Shu Lao, who is unique in both calligraphy and painting. ”

"Ah, is it? It turned out to be Shu Lao himself. ”

When Shu Lao pulled Tang Ding away, everyone was still talking.

This traveling calligraphy and painting exhibition was organized by Shu Lao and a few friends, with the purpose of promoting traditional Chinese culture. The works are also the masterpieces of these calligraphers.

Of course, if there is a buyer who is optimistic about the work, you can also make a bid, finalize the price with the calligrapher on the spot, and buy it on the spot.

For this reason, the exhibition usually has a room dedicated to the calligraphers to rest and also as a place for negotiations.

"What is this little brother called, and who is he trained at?" Shu Hai asked.

"In Xia Tangding, I have loved calligraphy since I was a child, and my teacher is a famous mountain and river. Tang Ding hesitated, but still didn't say the name of his master.

Of course, there is another reason why Tang Ding said this, because the master Longhu Zhenren did not teach him the specific practice method of calligraphy and painting, but just told him a sentence, "Cultivation is to cultivate the mind, and practicing words is also to cultivate the mind, and practicing words must incorporate mountains, rivers, rivers, and even the whole world into the words." ”

Include the whole world in the word!

In his spare time practicing, Tang Ding deliberately observed the momentum of the mountains and rivers.

Who knew this observation, Tang Ding could really feel the momentum of heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, and incorporated it into calligraphy and painting.

Heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, is the natural world, masculine and feminine coexist, in short, the painting can be a few strokes, outlining the mountains and rivers, the words can also be rigid and soft.

After Tang Ding incorporated the momentum into the calligraphy and painting, he found that the techniques taught to him by the master had been qualitatively improved, and he had the ability to look forward.

"Heaven and earth as a teacher?" Old Shu was taken aback, this young man's tone was not small.

As soon as Tang Ding's words of "taking heaven and earth as a teacher" came out, he immediately attracted the surprise of the famous calligraphers in the lounge.

Calligraphy is the same as martial arts, although the origin is to take all things in heaven and earth as teachers, but after thousands of years of inheritance, whether it is calligraphy or martial arts, there are fixed routines, there are various schools, and each school also has its own founding masters.

Now the inheritance of calligraphy and painting is all under the guidance of famous teachers, to preserve the truth, to save the good and to remove the bad, and finally form their own unique style.

Now, who dares to say that their calligraphy is based on heaven and earth?

However, Shu Lao did not comment on Tang Ding's arrogance, he has been immersed in the calligraphy and painting world for decades, and has a deep study of various schools of calligraphy and painting, and can be said to be the most famous scholar and the most famous calligrapher in China.

The famous educator Guo Moruo once said, "There are two people in China who are the best at writing, one is the founding leader Mao, and the other is Shu Hai." ”

"Young man, do you write or draw?"

"Painting requires a state of mind, so I think I'd better write a few words!"

The lounge is equipped with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and Shu Lao's students personally give Tang Ding ink.

Xing Muliu stood aside, and there was a tendency to be more and more unable to see through Tang Ding. Is this really a little security guard guarding the door of the building?

Don't talk about catching ghosts and exorcisms, don't talk about the fiery eyes, and put aside how the handwriting is for the time being, just talk about the demeanor and tone when he talks to Shu Lao, talk eloquently, not in a hurry, and occasionally show a look that shocked Shu Lao.

Who is Shu Lao, of course Xing Muliu knows. Shu Lao's fame in the capital is very big, very big. When his grandfather celebrated his birthday, his father specially went to Shu Lao to ask for a pair of ink treasures, and his grandfather couldn't close his mouth happily.

The price that Tang Ding estimated for Shu Lao's work just now, although this is the current price of the painting, but Shu Lao has been sealing the pen for many years, and basically will not produce any more works, so this painting is a unique product, and it is priceless in the market, and it is a sure thing to increase in value in the future.

Up to now, Xing Muliu's wind and auction have obtained a total of Shu Lao's works, but there is no public auction, and the calligraphy work has been given to her grandfather last year.

In the eyes of everyone, the ink had been polished, and Shu Lao deliberately took out the lake pen he was best at.

Tang Ding picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, which made everyone present look sideways.

It's too rusty!

Tang Ding's hands dipped in ink were in a hurry, and there was no majestic atmosphere that he said about taking heaven and earth as a teacher.

It is normal for Tang Ding to be rusty with ink, because although he also has wolf hair in the Taoist temple, he is usually reluctant to use it, and most of them are practiced on the ground. The paper after writing was not wasted, and it was all used as toilet paper.

The years in the mountains are hard, and there is no paper in the toilet. The paper on which the words are written is always much stronger than the straw stick.

However, although Tang Ding's ink was unfamiliar, the words he wrote surprised everyone.

Tang Ding wrote four words: enlightenment and meditation.

If the word "enlightenment" has just been written, there is still some confusion about the softness and hardness of this item, so that the ink is slightly thicker, but the next three words, "Dao Shen Zen", are written majesticly, and there is really the meaning of sitting on the Tao and Shen Zen, as if it is like a comet entering the country, and it is very dazzling.
