Sima Yuelan said: "We don't know the meaning of the code word, even if we want to break the head, it is impossible to know whether the code word has anything to do with the content of the painting." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

Shu Ze said with some pity: "Then is it just that?"

Sima Yuelan said: "What else can I do if I don't count it, so many years have passed, and there is no clear clue, just by imagination, who knows what the code words mean?"

Meng Zitao also agreed, and said: "Yes, don't waste your brainpower, besides, who knows what the code is talking about, even if it is related to the baby, after so many years, who can guarantee that the baby is still in place?"

"Uh, that's it, so forget it?" Shu Ze was still a little unwilling.

Meng Zitao smiled: "Forget it, don't drill the horns." ”

"Well, then I don't want to......"

Everyone changed the topic and started chatting, and because the conversation was very happy, it felt that it was not long before it was dinner time again.

Shu Ze beckoned everyone to sit down, but as soon as he sat down, he said, "Zitao, do you think the code words will have something to do with Juran?"

Meng Zitao couldn't laugh or cry: "Why are you still thinking about this matter?"

Shu Ze said with a smile: "Mainly because I can't think of one, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart." ”

Sima Yuelan said: "He likes to drill the horns of the bull sometimes, you don't care about him, it won't be long for a while." ”

Shu Ze's expression suddenly became serious, and he retorted: "What's wrong with 'drilling the tip of the bull', I think that in addition to being flexible and adaptable in life, there should be a spirit of 'drilling the horn' in the attitude, if I don't have such a spirit, how can the problems in the company be so easy to solve in the past few times?"

Sima Yuelan sneered and said, "Then you solved the code word?"

Shu Ze said a little proudly: "At least there are some eyebrows." ”

Sima Yuelan said: "If you have something to say, don't sell it!"

"I think the two idioms 'the tiger falls to Pingyang and returns to his hometown' just correspond to the second half of Juran's life. ”

Shu Ze explained with a smile: "In the eighth year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the later lord Li Yu was taken captive to Bianliang. The Southern Tang Dynasty Hanlin Image Academy naturally collapsed, and many painters of the Academy were clamped down to Bianliang and worked in the Hanlin Image Academy of the Song Dynasty, such as Xu Xi's grandson Xu Chongsi and Dong Yu. Juran came to Beijing from Jianye under this scene and lived in Kaibao Temple as a monk. During this time, can it be regarded as a tiger falling into Pingyang?"

After that, he became famous for his paintings, and once painted "Story" and "Landscape" for Du Zhi Caiyuan. And in the foothills of the forest more with pebbles, such as pine, cypress, grass and bamboo, set off each other, side of the path, far to the secluded villa, in the wild scenery is very ready. ’”

He also made rock paintings on the north wall of the Academy of Sciences, the highest civilization organization of the Song Dynasty, which was passed down by the literati of the time as a beautiful talk and given poems to praise it. During the Northern Song Dynasty, in order to pursue his artistic position in the north, Juran had to imitate Li Cheng's works, such as imitating Li Cheng's cold forest landscapes, which were slightly different from Dong Yuan in composition and brushwork, but the interest was still Jiangnan painting. As a result, he blended a unique north-south style and created a major painting school. ”

"And then?"

Meng Zitao said: "Even if the code language is in line with Juran's situation at that time, what can this mean?"

"Uh......"

Meng Zitao's words gave Shu Ze a slap in the face, and after hesitating for a moment, he said: "Perhaps, what the secret word wants to express means that the baby is in Bianliang?"

Meng Zitao spread his hands: "Then what can we do, the entire Bianliang City is so big, we can't dig three feet into the ground." ”

Shu Ze looked a little depressed, and said, "Could it be that I have thought about the results for a long time, but I have actually done useless work?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "You can't say that, this thing actually depends on luck, if you are lucky, maybe you can find the exact place with a casual word, but if you are unlucky, maybe you can't find it for a lifetime." ”

Shu Ze said helplessly: "Okay, then I don't want to either." ”

Sima Yuelan said: "Originally, what did you spend this effort on, besides, Zitao is lucky, and he found the secret word again, maybe after a while, he will find the clue?"

Shu Ze felt that it was really possible to be like this, and with Mencius's luck against the sky, maybe in a few days, he called him, saying that he had found a clue.

"Zitao, if you find a clue, you must give me a call. ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "That's a certainty. ”……

After dinner, we talked for a while, and then went back to rest.

After a night of silence, the next morning, after everyone had breakfast, Shu Ze personally drove everyone to the studio of the photographer he recommended.

After that, everyone appreciated the photographer's work, Meng Zitao and He Wanyi felt very satisfied, the level was on par with the chief photographer of the Lingshi photo studio, and because it was a circle, the photographer introduced by Shu Ze also respected it.

Since he was very satisfied with the level of this photographer, and Shu Ze had said before that the two photographers were almost the same in all respects except for the difference in style, Meng Zitao and He Wanyi didn't want to trouble anymore, so they settled here.

This photographer's schedule is also relatively tight, even if he has Shu Ze's face, he can only cut in line at most, and he can't shoot right away.

However, Meng Zitao and He Wanyi have no opinion, anyway, they are not in a hurry, and they just arrange the time for them to apply for passports. So the time was set until September, and the domestic part of the film could be filmed in Lingshi.

Coming out of the studio, since it was still early, everyone discussed it and went to the nearby attractions to visit.

He Wanyi and Sima Yuelan were chattering in front, although the two had not known each other for a long time, they were already very close, Meng Zitao and Shu Ze both muttered a little, they couldn't understand the feelings between women, of course, this is what they want to see.

Take some photos from time to time and comment on the surrounding scenery, everyone is very pleasant.

At lunchtime, everyone talked about cultural inheritance again, and felt sorry for some traditional handicrafts that have been lost.

After eating, when everyone was ready to continue playing, it was raining lightly outside.

Sima Yuelan stretched out her hand to the eaves and felt the feeling of raindrops falling on her hand: "I saw the sun just now, but now it's raining, it's really beautiful!"

"It's not raining much, why don't I buy a few umbrellas, how about we travel in the rain?"

Everyone had no opinion, Meng Zitao pointed to a convenience store not far away and said, "Let's go there and buy it, it just won't rain." ”

"Okay. Sima Yuelan remembered the previous topic, and said as she walked: "Speaking of umbrellas, I think of the oil-paper umbrella I used when I was a child, which is beautiful and easy to use, but unfortunately it is not easy to buy such an oil-paper umbrella now." ”

The oil paper umbrella has a history of thousands of years in China, and according to legend, it was invented by Lu Ban's wife Yun. The umbrella stand is made of hand-cut bamboo strips, and the umbrella surface is made of lint paper coated with natural waterproof tung oil.

The nylon steel umbrella often used is the 19th century British according to the principle of opening and closing of China's oil paper umbrella, the use of modern materials, industrial production improvement, due to easy to carry, low price, slowly the oil paper umbrella will be replaced by the nylon steel umbrella, now in the country has been difficult to see.

Shu Ze said: "No way, modern life, everyone values convenience, not to mention anything else, it takes 1 week to make an oil-paper umbrella by hand at the earliest, including wearing the umbrella head, net umbrella edge, wet paper, pasting umbrella surface, shun umbrella, oiling, threading and other 109 processes. In those days, there were very few craftsmen who could make an oil-paper umbrella alone. ”

Meng Zitao said: "Actually, what I said, although the nylon steel umbrella is convenient, it is an inanimate industrial product, and the elegant and natural beauty of the traditional oil paper umbrella is incomparable to the nylon steel umbrella." ”

"Brother is so right, look at my oil-paper umbrella, how can the nylon steel umbrella we usually buy compare?" At this time, a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard and a long scar on his left eye next to him suddenly interjected a sentence and showed everyone an oil-paper umbrella in his hand.

The patterns on the oil-paper umbrella are mainly based on the common themes of traditional Chinese paintings, such as flowers and birds, landscapes, etc., and there are also themes based on the plots of classical literary masterpieces such as "Dream of Red Mansions" and "The Legend of the West Chamber".

The oil-paper umbrella in the hands of the middle-aged man is based on the theme of landscape, ink style, and the author's level is good, which is pleasing to the eye.

Sima Yuelan looked a little hot and asked, "Uncle, where did you buy this oil-paper umbrella?"

The man smiled and said, "There are no ready-made ones for sale, if you want, you can order them." ”

Sima Yuelan asked again: "Then where to order?"

The man smiled and said, "It's in my shop." ”

Shu Ze laughed: "This uncle, you are a good advertisement." ”

The man smiled and waved his hand: "Where, it's just a mix of food, these days, the business of oil paper umbrellas is not easy to do, although it looks beautiful, but because of the high price, many people feel that it is not cost-effective, like I can only make a living." ”

Everyone agrees with this, in addition to the high price, it is also related to the fact that no one is holding an oil-paper umbrella now, if you go out with an oil-paper umbrella, it may attract strange eyes, and some thin-skinned ones will not buy it.

He Wanyi said: "Boss, don't worry, when there are more elegant people, your business will be fine." ”

"Then I thank you in advance for your good words. ”

The man smiled, and then said, "Why don't we go to my side together?"

Everyone agreed, and followed the man to his shop.

The man's surname is Deng, and his shop is not large, estimated to be only 30 square meters at most, and most of the store is filled with all kinds of oil-paper umbrellas, and the rest of the place is filled with all kinds of antiques.

Seeing this, Meng Zitao was a little curious and asked, "Boss, are you still in the antique business?"

Boss Deng said with a smile: "This is not a boom in the antique market, many people are holding the purpose of making a fortune by buying antiques to enter the market, so that many people have made a fortune, so I went to the Confucius Temple to open an antique shop at the suggestion of a friend." ”

"In the beginning, those people looked like mallets, and they bought them as long as they looked like antiques. But as time went on, the level of collecting of these people has improved greatly, and they all want to buy the real thing. But there are so many genuine products on the market, and the more you buy genuine products, the fewer you will be. If this continues, the average person will lose interest in antiques and will not be willing to spend money to buy antiques. ”

Speaking of this, Boss Deng's expression was a little gloomy: "I don't have many channels in this regard, my business plummeted, and I lost money in the end, I had no choice but to close the shop in the Confucius Temple, and there were only a few things left that had not been disposed of." ”

What happened to Boss Deng, Meng Zitao believes that many antique dealers have encountered it, but he feels that the key is to use it without care.

Generally speaking, as long as you love the antique industry and like to learn, you can find good things at a lower price. Expand your network, learn more about the latest information in various places, and establish your own good reputation in the industry, so that you will always attract new and old customers.

Of course, it is easier said than done, the truth is indeed simple, and there are very few people who can really insist on doing so.

Boss Deng sighed a few words, and then turned the topic to these oil paper umbrellas in the store: "In fact, in addition to the beauty, the oil paper umbrella also means auspicious, the oil paper and the sound of 'Youzi' is close, the umbrella frame is the 'person' shape, the umbrella from the perspective of traditional Chinese characters, is the four small 'people' words under the prefix, since ancient times the meaning of the five sons of Dengke." ”

"And most of the most traditional oil-paper umbrellas are bright red, it is said that the pigment is mixed with pig's blood, which has the effect of warding off evil spirits, and the tung oil and the five-color silk thread representing the five elements are also ...... to ward off evil spirits."

After listening to Boss Deng's introduction, He Wanyi was also very interested: "Boss, I also want to buy one after hearing what you said, but the preservation of oil-paper umbrellas is a problem, right?"

Boss Deng laughed and said: "Actually, it's not that troublesome, the oil-paper umbrella is the most suitable for rainy and snowy days." When it rains, you can use it with confidence, whether it is heavy or light rain, you don't need to worry about anything. This is because the umbrella surface of the oil-paper umbrella is completely waterproof, and the umbrella surface has been treated with natural tung oil, which has considerable toughness, and it is difficult to smash it with stones and hail. ”

"After the rain, the umbrella surface will be a little soft, you can use a rag to dry the rainwater on it, you don't need to stretch it out to dry! ”

"After using it a few times, you will find that the umbrella surface has become brighter, more moist, and the color is brighter, as if there is a layer of 'pulp', this is because after the 'moisturization' of rain, the tung oil on the umbrella surface oxidizes with the outside world, resulting in a protective film, so the more you use the oil-paper umbrella, the more elastic it is. ”

"On the other hand, if it is always put on the shelf or just hung for decoration, it is not good for the oil-paper umbrella. Because you don't use it, the tung oil on the umbrella surface will dry out, so that the umbrella surface will gradually lose its elasticity, and the umbrella surface will shrink to the middle and become smaller. ”
