After a while, Meng Zitao saw a middle-aged man with a beard on his face, with a young man who was five big and three thick, like a thug, walking down from the upper floor. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

When the middle-aged man saw Meng Zitao and them, he paused, looked at it, and then went downstairs without saying anything.

Meng Zitao and the others continued to walk upstairs, and when they walked up, they saw a middle-aged man with a sad face preparing to close the door.

Yu Weigang hurriedly said, "Lao Guo, wait a minute." ”

Guo Weilong saw Yu Weigang, and hurriedly walked to the staircase to look downstairs.

"Don't look at it, we've all heard what just happened. Yu Weigang said: "I'm coming back here, mainly for the painting you gave me." ”

Guo Weilong showed a wry smile on his face: "Mr. Yu, I really didn't lie to you, that painting is indeed handed down by my ancestors, and when my grandfather was still alive, he told me that this painting is indeed related to Zhu Cihong......

When Yu Weigang heard this, he interrupted him: "Hey, didn't you say before that this painting was given to your ancestor by Zhu Cihong, why is it related to Zhu Cihong now?" ”

"Uh...... I may not have made this clear. Guo Weilong said with some hesitation.

Yu Weigang was a little dissatisfied and said: "Lao Guo, tell me the truth, what is going on with this painting." ”

Guo Weilong scratched his forehead: "Actually, there is a reason for this, but I can guarantee that the painting must be related to Zhu Cihong." ”

Yu Weigang said: "What the hell are you going on!"

"Let's go inside, it's not convenient outside. Guo Weilong led everyone into the house and closed the door.

The house is old, the living room is small, and there is not much room left after setting up a table and a refrigerator.

After Guo Weilong invited everyone to take a seat, he said a little embarrassedly: "My tea here is not very good, and I don't know your habits of drinking it or not." ”

Everyone waved their hands, and they all said that as long as the boiled water was enough.

When Guo Weilong brought water, Yu Weigang asked: "Old Guo, tell me, what's going on with the painting?"

Guo Weilong looked a little embarrassed, and after half a sound, he said: "Let's put it this way, my ancestor was an ordinary farmer. ”

Speaking of which, he will not say anything.

Yu Weigang said: "Why don't you say it, continue." ”

Guo Weilong asked rhetorically, "Don't you understand what I mean?"

Yu Weigang said angrily: "You're not talking nonsense, you just said such a sentence, how can I understand what you mean." ”

Meng Zitao took over and said, "I understand what you mean, are you saying that the process of your ancestor getting this painting is a little disgraceful?"

Guo Weilong nodded and said, "It's really a little disgraceful, and it's a little bit of a hand." ”

Yu Weigang pouted: "Steal it, steal it, why are you talking so much." And what's so bad about it, you didn't steal it. ”

Guo Weilong touched his nose: "It's a little unpleasant." ”

Meng Zitao then asked, "Is there anything else besides this painting?"

Guo Weilong immediately waved his hand and said, "No." ”

"Cut!" Yu Weigang sneered: "After doing it for a long time, I stole a painting and came back, and it hasn't been sold, but it's you, do you believe it?"

Guo Weilong smiled bitterly: "Mr. Yu, I really don't lie to you, there is indeed nothing else, to be honest, if there is, I would have asked someone to see if I could sell it for money." ”

Yu Wei just took a sip of water and changed the subject: "Lao Guo, you borrowed a loan shark, right?"

Guo Weilong immediately made a sad face: "I really can't help it, otherwise I wouldn't have entered this pit." ”

Yu Weigang sighed: "No matter what, don't borrow this money, haven't you heard of it, unless you run fast, don't borrow usury, do you know this sentence? I know a boss who is worth tens of millions, just because he borrowed usury, the mansion and the luxury car are gone, he runs a supermarket, and now the cashier is all people who want to collect money." I was also made to be a person, a ghost, not to mention how miserable it was. ”

Yu Wei just paused, looked at Guo Weilong, who was slightly anxious, and said: "Old Guo, I don't know all about your situation, at least partially, as far as your current situation is concerned, do you say that you can raise enough money before midnight today?"

Guo Weilong gritted his teeth and said: "I will definitely pay it back, to be honest, my interest is about the same as the principal, and they can't force me anymore, right?"

"You talk about humanity with loan sharks?"

Yu Weigang smiled: "I've seen a lot of this kind of thing, they ask for debts, and they followed them two days ago, where you go, they go, they get into your car when you drive, and if you go home, they will live in your house." After two days, if you can't pay it back, then you have to resort to it. For example, if you don't eat or sleep, you can't hold it anymore, they will wake you up, but they won't restrict your freedom.

"If you don't give money, then you have to do it. And they are quite particular about beating people, they don't use weapons, only their hands and feet, so that there will be no obvious wounds. If you really hurt someone, send them to the hospital to have a look, just pay a little medical expenses, and it's not a big deal. It's not easy for the police to come, who told you to borrow money?"

Speaking of this, Yu Wei was already a little restless when he saw Guo Weilong, and then said: "Old Guo, you have to think about it, it's all this time, why are you still hiding, no matter how important things are, does it matter if you have someone? You can make money again when the money is gone, but there is nothing when your life is gone." ”

"Mr. Yu, I really don't have ......"

Yu Weigang interrupted again: "Lao Guo, let me ask you, how am I?"

Guo Weilong said: "Mr. Yu, you have nothing to say about your behavior, and I have been taken care of by you in the past few years, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to do it last year." ”

Yu Weigang smiled: "I'm not boasting about myself, let's just talk about this matter, in fact, I already knew about your situation, but my wife urged me, so I came over to take a look." Even if you gave me that worthless word, I didn't complain, don't you say?"

"Yes, I'm really grateful for that. Guo Weilong picked up the water cup: "Mr. Yu, I will replace the wine with tea and toast you." ”

Yu Wei just drank the water in the cup, and said with a smile: "So, Lao Guo, you really don't have to worry about anything, we can give whatever price we should give, and we won't give you less, so you can rest assured." As for whether we're going to see things wrong, don't worry about that. This is my iron buddy, a senior researcher at the Forbidden City. ”

Guo Weilong was stunned, and at the same time, there was a little suspicion on his face.

Meng Zitao smiled slightly, took out his documents, and pushed them to Guo Weilong.

When Guo Weilong opened the certificate, Yu Weigang said again: "If you don't believe it, you can call the Forbidden City and ask the staff over there if the certificate is real." ”

Guo Weilong smiled and returned the certificate to Meng Zitao: "Mr. Yu said that he was joking, how could I not believe what you said? Moreover, this brother is a talent, and he knows that he is knowledgeable at a glance." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Mr. Guo is polite. ”

Yu Weigang said with a smile: "Lao Guo, we are sincere, we will do what we want, we will definitely not let you suffer, what else do you have to worry about? And at this time, it will definitely be good for you to solve your usury as soon as possible." ”

Guo Weilong smiled bitterly: "The loan shark I borrowed is not so easy to solve, although the interest rate is low, but it is stipulated that it must take three years to repay the principal." ”

Yu Weigang was surprised: "It's not okay to be early?"

"No, I can't. Guo Weilong said depressedly: "Moreover, if I am in default, the interest must be increased, but the time will not change." Now that I do the math, when I pay it back, I need to pay back at least four or five times the principal. ”

Yu Weigang shook his head: "Usury is this virtue, but it's not a matter if you don't pay it back, right?

"Hey!" Guo Weilong sighed, got up and said, "I'll go in for a while." ”

When Guo Weilong entered the house, Meng Zitao smiled at Yu Weigang and whispered: "I really didn't expect that you are quite able to speak well now." ”

Yu Weigang smiled: "It's all exercised, otherwise how can there be food." ”

Since they were still at Guo Weilong's house, the two talked casually and didn't talk much.

After a while, Guo Weilong walked out of the room, he still had a scroll in his hand, and before putting things on the table, he wiped the table well, and then unfolded the scroll, but it was a painting of flowers and birds with fine brushwork.

"This painting was quickly obtained, you can see how it goes. ”

Meng Zitao looked at the scroll, only to see that the scroll was painted with aquatic plants, streams and rocks and a few reed geese, the aquatic grass lines were fluent and smooth, the pen was round, strong and elastic, and the color was clearly layered.

A few reed geese are playing and playing, and the image is lifelike, filling the silent land with life. The body of the bird is painted with ochre, the feathers are dyed with light ink, and the head and neck are covered with white powder. The upper section paints gardenias and two orioles, with different shapes and suitable movements. The pen and ink of the whole picture are mellow and quiet, and they take off the vange. The picture is quiet and elegant, calm and leisurely, and it is deeply rooted in the charm of Song painting.

This picture is known as "Bian Jingzhao's work", which made Meng Zitao very surprised: "It is actually Bian Jingzhao's work." ”

Bian Jingzhao, the character Wenjin, the court painter of the Ming Dynasty, often accompanied Emperor Xuande to paint, the official brocade and the commander of the guard, was awarded the honorary title of "Wenhuadian University Scholar". He was a man of great breadth and erudition. He inherited the Southern Song Dynasty's tradition of "courtyard style" and heavy color, and his works are neat and beautiful, with careful brushwork, rich colors, elegance and wealth. There is a saying that "the demon laugh of flowers, the flight of birds, and the implication of leaves, not only outline with a pen, but also use pen and ink to be appropriate".

His paintings of Ling Mao and Jiang Zicheng's figures, Zhao Lian's tiger, once known as the "forbidden three uniques", is the Ming Dynasty courtyard painters of the most influential painters of fine brushwork flowers and birds.

However, there are very few paintings left by Bian Jingzhao, and Du Ruilian of the Qing Dynasty said in "Gufenge Calligraphy and Painting": "However, Jingzhao's paintings have been circulated very little, and they are rare at that time, so there is a boundless theory, and it is also like the Song Dynasty's no Li (Cheng) theory."

Yu Weigang asked, "Who are you talking about Bian Jingzhao?"

Meng Zitao introduced Bian Jingzhao and said: "To put it simply, if this painting is genuine, it is worth at least about two million. ”

Yu Weigang was surprised, raised his head and looked at Guo Weilong: "Okay, old Guo, you are too uninteresting, there is this painting, and you actually give me that worthless one." ”

Guo Weilong smiled and said: "Mr. Yu, I can't help it, this painting is a lifesaver for me, I won't take it out easily." ”

Yu Weigang shook his head: "Okay, I know that your situation is not good now......"

As we were saying this, we heard a knock on the door outside, and it was very urgent.

Guo Weilong's face changed, and he immediately said, "Hurry up...... Put the painting away. ”

I heard Brother Zhang's voice come in: "Lao Guo, don't hide, if you don't open the door again, I'll kick the door!"

Guo Weilong said anxiously: "What can I do about this, how could he come here at this time!"

After speaking, he looked at Meng Zitao and them with suspicious eyes.

Yu Weigang said angrily: "Why do you look at me like this, do you think that I will be in the same boat with him, and I don't want to think about what benefits we can get if he intervenes." ”

"Uh......" Guo Weilong thought about it, and at this time, the knock on the door became more and more urgent, as if the door was about to be smashed.

"It's too late to take it now, so you better go open the door. Meng Zitao looked at Guo Weilong with some meaning.

"Okay. Guo Weilong went to open the door a little dejectedly and brought people in.

The bearded man was Brother Zhang, he saw the painting on the table, and sneered: "Okay, there is such a treasure I don't know to take it out earlier?"

Guo Weilong opened his mouth and said, "Brother Zhang, look at this...... Isn't there nothing I can't help it?"

Brother Zhang laughed and said: "You can't help it, I have it, give me this painting, and the money you borrowed will be purchased and sold." ”

Guo Weilong looked at Yu Weigang and said, "This is a little unusual, right?"

Brother Zhang sneered: "Then what do you say? Let me tell you Guo Weilong, my patience is limited!"

Yu Weigang interjected at this time: "What is this called?"

Brother Zhang's attitude was a little arrogant: "You don't care what I call me, there's nothing to do with you here!"

"Is there a concept of first-come, first-come!" Yu Weigang was also angry.

Brother Zhang smiled weirdly: "Oh, by the way, I do want to thank you, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have known about the existence of this painting, so when I turn around, I'll send you a pennant to show your gratitude, so it's okay." ”

"It's ......"

Meng Zitao stopped Yu Weigang, who was very angry, and said to Guo Weilong: "Mr. Guo, the thing is yours, you can make your own decisions." ”

Brother Zhang said with a gloomy face: "Warning you, don't make mistakes!"

Guo Weilong said hesitantly: "But my painting is worth two million!"

Brother Zhang changed his smiling face again: "I just said, as long as you give me the painting, the previous account will be written off, I will calculate it for you, with the current interest, you will not only repay two million in three years, you have to think about it carefully." ”
