Chapter 505: Another Statue
Qin Lao's decision made the scene suddenly rise into an uproar, it was Tang Bohu's work, and it was a handscroll, the genuine product was worth at least several million, and it was normal for tens of millions of precious points. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Such a precious collection was actually exchanged for a word and a sketch of Meng Zitao, and everyone thought it was incredible.
Wang Lao and Qin Lao had the same thoughts, and he was not to be outdone: "I also have a handscroll of Dong Qichang's "Xingshu Li Bai's Poems", if you want, little brother, I am willing to exchange him." ”
"The second elder will stop for a moment. ”
Meng Zitao hurriedly waved his hand, his works can be exchanged for Tang Bohu and Dong Qichang's works, to be honest, he is very happy, this is also an affirmation of his calligraphy level, but there is only one "Prince Jin Zan", and he can't be divided into two.
Some people may say that this work was written by Meng Zitao, so wouldn't it be enough to write another one?
You must know that a good calligraphy work should be integrated into one's own perception, and the same is true of Meng Zitao's cursive "Prince Jin Zan", and it was written in a very good state just now.
Therefore, for this calligraphy work, Meng Zitao only thought about collecting it himself, and did not plan to give it to others.
Meng Zitao said truthfully: "I'm really sorry, I want to collect this "Prince Jin Zan" by myself, and I have no intention of transferring it. ”
Seeing that Wang Lao and they were still going to say more, Meng Zitao hurriedly blocked their mouths, saying that even if he offered high conditions, he would not agree, but he could write another "Yong" character, and the two characters could be regarded as a gift to the second elder.
For not being able to get Meng Zitao's "Prince Jin Zan", Wang Lao and they all felt very sorry, but it was already a good result for Meng Zitao to have such a statement.
Next, Meng Zitao wrote another "Yong" character and wrote on both "Yongzi".
"Your name is Meng Zitao?" Wang Lao's expression became strange when he saw the payment.
Meng Zitao smiled and nodded, and greeted: "Hello Elder Wang." ”
"Elder Zheng really accepted a good apprentice. ”
Wang Lao sighed with emotion, and then said: "But you really are, you didn't say it earlier." ”
Meng Zitao smiled: "Isn't there always no chance?"
Qin Lao was a little confused: "What do you mean, you two know each other?"
Wang Lao smiled: "Of course, it's the first time we met, don't you have any impression at all?"
Qin Lao frowned and recalled for a while, and said in surprise: "Are you talking about Zheng Anzhi and Zheng Lao?"
"Who else is that. ”
"Oh, look at my brain, I really didn't think about it just now. Qin Lao patted his head.
The people around him were surprised and took it for granted when they learned that Meng Zitao was Zheng Anzhi's apprentice, and Zhou Duo's face turned red and white for a while, and he turned around and left without saying a word.
As for Niu Laosan, he ran away as early as when Meng Zitao wrote the first word "Yong", and when he knew Meng Zitao's identity, his bowels were blue, but at this time, in the eyes of his peers in Quancheng, he was already almost like a rat crossing the street.
Next, Zhou Ziju and Meng Zitao apologized and left one after another, today he lost face because of his grandson, and he really didn't have the face to stay here anymore. In fact, he also wanted to pay a little price and asked Mencius Tao for a painting of the word "Yong", but in this situation, he really couldn't open this mouth.
And Yu Sihai's mood is complicated, on the one hand, he is emotional because he saw Zhou Ziju lose with his own eyes, and on the other hand, he may not even be able to hold a pen in a few years, which is undoubtedly quite cruel to him, and it also makes him extremely depressed.
So, Yu Sihai followed Zhou Ziju and left.
The salon continued, but because of the competition just now, the atmosphere had changed a little, Meng Zitao and they didn't want to stay here longer, and Wang Lao and Qin Lao didn't want to stay at this time, so everyone said to Ma Huayu, and they all left the club together.
It was lunch time, and everyone found a restaurant.
In the private room, everyone ordered food and chatted.
Qin Lao said: "Xiao Meng, I have also seen Zheng Lao's calligraphy before, and your style seems to be different from his." ”
Wang Lao said with a smile: "Xiao Meng originally worshipped Zheng Lao as his teacher in January this year, and his calligraphy should have other teachers." ”
Meng Zitao waved his hand: "I don't have any other teachers, I am all self-taught and self-explanatory." ”
"Self-study?" Wang Lao and Qin Lao's jaws were about to fall in shock, they really couldn't imagine that Meng Zitao could actually achieve such a state by teaching calligraphy by himself.
Meng Zitao said with a smile: "I must have learned the basics from Mr. Gen when I was a child, and then I explored it myself." ”
"You...... Well, I have nothing to say. Wang Lao smiled bitterly and shook his head, thinking that he had studied calligraphy for decades, but he couldn't reach the level of Meng Zitao, and he didn't know how to describe his mood. However, calligraphy relies on diligence, and it also depends on talent, and Meng Zitao's talent is amazing, even if he is jealous, he can't be jealous.
Elder Qin sighed: "Hey, I envy Elder Zheng very much now." ”
Wang Lao laughed: "Okay, don't be envious, we don't have that kind of life." ”
Qin Lao smiled, and then asked, "Xiao Meng, when are you going to go back?"
Meng Zitao said: "I'll go back today, I've already booked the ticket." ”
"It's a pity, I still want to exchange my thoughts with you. "Elder Qin and Elder Wang both have some regrets.
Meng Zitao explained: "Originally, it didn't matter if it was postponed for two days, but this time is relatively busy, and I have to go back this afternoon, but there is always a chance to come to Japan." ”
Elder Wang nodded and said, "Yes, the coming day will be long." ”
The waiter began to serve the food, and everyone chatted while eating.
The two elders are both people who love calligraphy, and the banquet is basically about calligraphy and related issues. Regarding the problem of calligraphy experience, Meng Zitao basically has nothing to hide, so that the two elders are all emotional, and a conversation with you is better than reading for ten years.
At the end of the meal, Wang Lao thought of something and asked, "Xiao Meng, you should have seen the cursive "Stone Drum Song" by Xian Yushu before, right?
Qin Lao said: "We have all seen this work, and we think it should be a work of the Yuan Dynasty, but it is doubtful whether it is the authentic work of Xian Yushu." ”
Since Qin Lao said so, Meng Zitao didn't hide it, and said: "I have similar opinions with you, this work can indeed be chaotic in terms of brushwork, but in terms of momentum, I think it is still a little worse......
Mencius explained in detail the characteristics of the calligraphic work and speculated about the author, although Wang Lao and Qin Lao may still have some different opinions on the author's side, but in other aspects, they basically agree with Mencius's judgment.
After the end of the dinner, the two elders left their contact information and said goodbye, Zhong Jinxian drove everyone back to the hotel, and then sent Meng Zitao and them to the train station.
In the car, Meng Zitao said: "I said, Brother Xian, why do you have to push me out today? It's not that there is no other solution. ”
Zhong Jinxian smiled and said, "Isn't the result bad?"
Meng Zitao said: "The key is that I am too young, don't others think it is strange?"
Zhong Jinxian asked rhetorically: "Is it possible, did you cheat? Or like in the novel, what genius treasure did you eat?"
"That's definitely not the case, I rely on experience. Meng Zitao said in his heart: "I am not lying about this, my calligraphy does rely on experience to have the current level." ”
Zhong Jinxian smiled: "Isn't that enough, I think you, now you are like a firefly in the night, so distinct, so outstanding, even if there is no today's thing, how long do you think you can keep a low profile?"
Meng Zitao shook his head and smiled: "You are not wrong to say that, but I really don't want to show my calligraphy in this way." ”
Zhong Jinxian said a little solemnly: "Zitao, I know your character, if it was normal, I would definitely not do this, but if you go to the capital next month, you need to be famous, otherwise, when others see you so young, they will bully you." ”
Tian Mengmeng said with some curiosity: "What, with Elder Zheng supporting him, there are still people who are difficult for Brother Meng?"
Zhong Jinxian said: "I can't say much about the specifics, you just need to know that Zheng Lao also has a bad deal with people, like An, no one asks them to trouble, but Zitao is different, how many people in the capital have heard of him? Of course, after all, there is Zheng Lao, there is no big deal, but flies and mosquitoes buzzing around all day long is annoying enough." ”
Tian Mengmeng muttered: "No wonder the old saying is good, there are disputes in someone's world, and they are more intriguing than a competition, and they don't know if they are tired or not." ”
Meng Zitao didn't expect that there was such a layer of meaning, no wonder he felt that Zhong Jinxian's performance just now would be so strange.
Back at the hotel, everyone packed their luggage and was about to leave, when Meng Zitao suddenly received a call from Luo Juan.
On the phone, Luo Juan told Meng Zitao that Luo Jinheng had woken up, and after he learned of Meng Zitao's help, he expressed his great gratitude and thanked Meng Zitao no matter what.
However, Luo Jinheng now has no long things, so he wants to give a statue he has collected for many years to Meng Zitao, hoping that Meng Zitao can go and get it.
Originally, Meng Zitao politely refused, after all, Luo Jinheng's family was already like this, and he was embarrassed to accept any thank-you gifts.
However, Luo Juan said that Luo Jinheng was now asleep again, and when he was awake, he told him that he must hand over the things to Meng Zitao, if Meng Zitao did not agree, she really couldn't explain to Luo Jinheng.
Since this is the case, Meng Zitao had no choice but to agree, and when he learned that Luo Juan was now in the hospital, he asked her to wait in the hospital.
After leaving the room, Zhong Jinxian drove everyone to the hospital first, and got the statue from Luo Juan at the entrance of the hospital.
This is a statue of the raccoon carve, the shape of the fox resembles a tiger, it is said that it is not only anxious for justice and righteousness, and the righteousness is spoken, but also can distinguish between right and wrong, impartiality and judgment, plus its image is majestic, so in addition to decorating on the prison door, it also crouches on both sides of the lobby of the official office. Whenever the chief of the yamen sits in the court, the top end of the chief executive's title plate and the solemn recusal card has its image, and it is eyeing the tiger, inspecting and watching, and maintaining the solemn and righteous atmosphere of the public court.
Just the statue of the raccoon carve, Meng Zitao didn't think it was strange, the key was its size and the material used, it was actually the same as the dragon turtle and the fox, and when he got it in his hand, there was a warmth coming from its body, which was clearly what he was looking for.
Meng Zitao never expected that there would be such an unexpected joy, is this considered a good intention?
When putting away the statue of the raccoon dog, Meng Zitao suddenly thought of a question, so he asked Luo Juan: "Ms. Luo, I don't know if Mr. Luo has mentioned it, where did this statue come from?"
Luo Juan said: "He mentioned it before, he saw it from a stall, and he bought it because he liked it, is there any problem?"
Meng Zitao waved his hand: "This is not it, but I have also obtained a similar statue before, so I want to inquire." ”
Luo Juan didn't think much about it, and said: "Then I don't know very well, go back and wait for my brother to wake up, and I'll help you ask." ”
Meng Zitao said: "Okay, then I will take my leave, please greet Teacher Luo for me." ”
"Don't be so polite, we should be thanked, and please bring a gift. Luo Juan smiled.
"...... as it should be"
After being polite, Meng Zitao got into the car and left.
When he got to the car, Meng Zitao took out the statue of the prisoner cow from his bag and compared it, except for the difference in materials, it can be seen from other details that the two statues should be made by one person.
Tian Mengmeng saw the statue in Meng Zitao's hand and was a little curious: "Hey, are these two statues originally a group?"
"It should be. Meng Zitao casually handed the statue to He Wanyi and Tian Mengmeng.
He Wanyi looked at it: "What kind of material is this statue made of? I feel that jade is not like jade, and stone is not like stone." ”
"I'm not too unclear. Meng Zitao shook his head, and then asked, "What do you think is the difference between this material and the feel of jade?"
He Wanyi said casually: "It's almost, it's a little cold in my hand just now." ”
Tian Mengmeng also nodded.
The reaction of the two women made Meng Zitao completely understand that only he could feel the warmth or coolness from the body of the statue that he had ignored.
If you think about it, this is actually normal, if other people can feel this abnormality, the dragon turtle statue he got the first time will not lie peacefully in the drawer.
However, what is the reason for this? Meng Zitao thought for a moment, and felt that it was not surprising, or because he had internal qi or ability, so what was the purpose of these statues?
Meng Zitao chatted with everyone casually, thinking about this question in his heart, but he couldn't think of a reason, and he didn't necessarily say that he could summon the dragon if he collected the statues, right? )
