Guo Weilong was hesitant, obviously not wanting to agree. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

At this time, Brother Zhang nodded at the thug who came with him, and saw that the man quickly stepped forward and wanted to put the painting away.

"Brother Zhang, please wait a moment. Guo Weilong hurriedly stopped the person.

Worried that the painting would be ruined in the pulling, Brother Zhang waved his hand, did not let the thug force it, and said: "I repeat again, my patience is limited, if you don't give an explanation, then I can only force it." ”

Seeing that Meng Zitao was indifferent, Guo Weilong gritted his teeth and said, "I can give you the painting, but you also have to return my IOU to me, right?"

Brother Zhang said: "I still have something to do in a while, I don't have time to spend it with you, I will write you a receipt, and then ask my little brother to send your IOU over." ”

Guo Weilong protected the picture scroll and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, I still want to see the IOU first." ”

"What, don't believe me?" Brother Zhang's expression became fierce.

Guo Weilong was not intimidated, and said bluntly: "Brother Zhang, this is my life-saving straw, as the old saying goes, the dog jumps off the wall in a hurry, if there is a little accident, don't blame me for my hard work!"

Brother Zhang stared at Guo Weilong: "Do you have to give me an IOU?"

Guo Weilong smiled slightly: "Please also ask Brother Zhang to be considerate of me." ”

"Guo Weilong, okay, now I have a lot of confidence. ”

Brother Zhang sneered, turned his head and walked towards the door: "Tiger, you stay here, don't let them take the painting." ”

The young man who seemed to be a thug grinned and showed a mouthful of steel teeth: "Brother, don't worry, with me, this painting can only be ours." ”

Guo Weilong saw that Brother Zhang was leaving, so he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Brother Zhang, are you leaving?"

Brother Zhang sneered: "Don't you want an IOU, I still have to obediently ask someone to bring the IOU, what, don't you want an IOU?"

Guo Weilong smiled, not daring to say anything, lest he misunderstand or cause any unpleasantness, which would not be of any benefit to him.

Brother Zhang snorted coldly, turned around and walked out the door.

Guo Weilong walked back and said to the young man, "Brother Hu, what kind of tea do you want to drink?"

The young man glared at Guo Weilong: "Don't be verbose, if you really want to be polite, just let me take the painting away." ”

Guo Weilong laughed dryly: "Then Brother Troubled Tiger, you are waiting here, anyway, Brother Zhang is not far from me, it is estimated that it will take less than half an hour, and the things will be brought." ”

At this time, Yu Weigang said with a calm face: "Lao Guo, it's time to talk about our problems, right?"

Guo Weilong said a little apologetically: "Mr. Yu, I'm really sorry, I'm really such a thing that can get into your eyes." ”

Meng Zitao interrupted Yu Weigang, who was about to speak: "Let's wait here and talk about it, I believe that Mr. Guo will definitely give us an explanation, Mr. Guo, don't you say?"

Guo Weilong smiled bitterly: "Don't hide it from you, I really don't have anything else, if there is, I can't be so miserable, and I sold the villa." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said, "I'll talk about this later." ”

Guo Weilong saw that Meng Zitao's oil and salt did not enter, and it was not easy to drive people away, and he always felt that Meng Zitao's smile was a little meaningful, but he did not dare to act rashly.

After waiting like this for about 20 minutes, a short man with dark skin walked into the room, and he slapped a document directly on the table: "Guo Weilong, Brother Zhang has something to do and goes somewhere else, this is your borrowed skin." ”

Guo Weilong hurriedly opened the file, checked it carefully, and found that there was no problem, and a smile appeared on his face: "Okay, please write a receipt." ”

The young man didn't want to be verbose with Guo Weilong, so he asked for a pen and paper and wrote a receipt, and then carefully put away the painting, and left with his companion without saying hello.

Yu Weigang said: "It's time to settle our matter." ”

"Wait. Meng Zitao waved his hand: "I think there is a problem that should be solved first, why did they come in so coincidentally just now when they took out the painting?"

Yu Weigang was stunned, and also felt that something was wrong with this, how could they know that they and Meng Zitao were looking for Guo Weilong? Even if they guessed, how could it be so coincidental?

"Bugging?!" Yu Wei immediately thought of a possibility.

Guo Weilong was also stunned, but this possibility is indeed extremely high, he immediately thought of the bugging device in movies and television, and hurriedly looked for it under the table: "Made, there really is!"

Guo Weilong pulled off a black thing from under the table, not much bigger than a dollar coin, and it should be a bugging device.

Next, Guo Weilong searched the house carefully, and found nothing else, which is normal, and in such a situation, two bugs will not be installed.

Yu Weigang looked at the bugging device on the table and said in surprise: "I always thought that the bugging device in movies and television should not exist in reality, but I didn't expect it to really exist." ”

Yu Weigang's bodyguard Lao Song interjected: "The kind of bugging device in the movie can't be bought without a certain way, and it's much smaller than this, this thing should be made in a black factory, it's rough." ”

"It doesn't matter if it's rough or not, as long as it's useful. Yu Wei just studied the bugging, and after a while, he took out a calling card from it, and suddenly said: "Hey, do it for a long time, this thing is actually a special mobile phone." I thought it was similar to a walkie-talkie. ”

"In that case, the cost will be a lot, unlike the technology of mobile phones, which is now very mature. Meng Zitao smiled slightly, and then said to Guo Weilong: "Mr. Guo, now we can tell the truth, right?"

Guo Weilong waved his hand: "What I said earlier is true......"

"Let me interrupt. ”

Meng Zitao said a digression: "Let me introduce you to Bian Jingzhao's style, his fine brush flower and bird paintings, not only different from the Northern Song Dynasty flower and bird paintings of the delicate and soft but also different from the Southern Song Dynasty painting of the blind vigor, and different from the Yuan Dynasty flower and bird painting hidden style, his fine brush flower and bird painting works are neat and beautiful, the composition is atmospheric, the color is elegant and noble, the brushwork is thick and thin, the painting environment is broad and powerful, and it has created a new style of flower and bird painting in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"His works are gorgeous, simple and natural, beautiful and elegant, the ink lines are full of strength and flexibility, and the images of flowers, fruits, and birds are gorgeous and vivid. In order to improve his level, he often went deep into life, carefully observed the physical and spiritual characteristics of objects, and could depict a variety of birds and birds in one picture. The shape of birds and birds is simple and bright, vivid and changeable, and the hook line, color and ink are very particular, and the ink color is moist and elegant, and it looks calm and steady. ”

From his works, we can not only see the exquisite skills of his artistic creation, but also feel the profound artistic accomplishment and cultural accumulation. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Zitao looked at Guo Weilong with a smile and said, "Mr. Guo, do you want me to comment on the painting just now?"

Yu Weigang reacted and rebuked angrily: "Okay, you Guo Weilong, you actually used us!

Guo Weilong said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Yu, don't get me wrong, I really didn't mean it." ”

Yu Weigang reprimanded angrily: "I don't care if you mean it or not, since you have involved us, you must give us an explanation for this matter." ”

Guo Weilong nodded and said, "Give it, I will definitely give it!"

"Smack!" Yu Wei just slapped it on the table: "Then you don't have something practical! Go and give me all the things you have now!"

As soon as Yu Wei sang with a white face, Meng Zitao sang with a red face: "Mr. Guo, don't be nervous, although we are not gentlemen, we are still moral, even if you take out things, we will definitely not let you suffer." However, this is not to say that we are easy to bully, you can fool us and see who suffers. ”

Guo Weilong smiled humbly: "Don't worry, no matter who I fool, I can't fool you." ”

"Cut! That's a nice thing to say, who were you fooling before?" Yu Weigang sneered: "I don't want to talk to you either, go and take out the things." But I'll warn you again, if you play any tricks again, then don't blame me for ignoring our old feelings. ”

"Mr. Yu, you just look at my performance. Guo Weilong walked into the room again.

Yu Weigang muttered angrily, and Meng Zitao said: "If you have anything to say, let's go back and talk about it." ”

"Hmm. Yu Weigang nodded.

After waiting for about five or six minutes, there was no sound coming from inside, so Yu Weigang almost thought that he had run away, only then did he see Guo Weilong holding a box in his arms and walking out of the room.

Guo Weilong put the box on the table: "I'll tell you the truth, everything is already here." ”

Yu Wei just glanced at the box, although the box looked quite exquisite, but the size is not large, the length is about 30 centimeters, the height and width are only less than 20 centimeters, obviously the painting just now can't be put in.

"It's really all here? Where's the painting?"

Guo Weilong replied: "Mr. Yu, that painting was bought by my father, and it really has nothing to do with me." ”

Meng Zitao glanced at him with a smile: "Can I take a look first." ”

When Guo Weilong saw Meng Zitao's expression, he was a little stunned in his heart, and said with a smile: "Of course it's no problem, you can watch it casually." ”

Mencius carefully studied, this is a gold color double dragon pattern box, gold color, for the Ming Dynasty new creation of the technique, is on the basis of filling in the color paint, with the gold line to outline the outline and texture of the image. According to the Ming Dynasty Wanli Gao Lian's "Zunsheng Eight Notes" recorded: "Xuande Dynasty has lacquer filling vessels, filled with five-color thick lacquer, smoothed and picturesque, until defeat is like new." Among the various types of lacquerware in the Ming Dynasty, this work has been handed down the least.

This box is based on vermilion, and it is full of 10,000 characters to paint the brocade. The lid of the box is a double dragon, and the dragon body is surrounded by auspicious clouds. The sea pattern directly below the two dragons shows the blessing of the sea, and the central mountain stone shows the longevity of the mountain, and the two dragons dance between the blessing of the longevity mountain. The body of the box, the front and back of the lid, the left and right, the upper and lower sides of the double dragon play beads. On the lid and at the corners of the box, the pattern of folded branches and flowers separates the picture of each auspicious dragon, which looks orderly. The box is square-footed. It is surrounded by auspicious cloud patterns.

After hundreds of years, there has been a delicate big snake belly break outside the box, but there is no broken line in the lacquerware, and it is difficult to break the snake's belly after three hundred years. This kind of broken pattern is not only an important reference for determining the age, but also the beauty of the vicissitudes of antiquities over the years.

At this time, Meng Zitao was already able to judge that it was a fine product made in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, and after opening it, he saw that there were some ancient books on one side and some jade and stationery supplies on the other side.

The jade is some accessories and the like, and the carving is very exquisite, which is a typical jade of the late Ming Dynasty.

In addition, in the stationery supplies, other things aside, one of the blue and white pen holder is very eye-catching, Meng Zitao took it in his hand and carefully observed, the pen holder is a typical feature of porcelain in the Chongzhen period, although it is not the official kiln porcelain, but it is also quite exquisite.

Seeing now, judging from the characteristics of the boxes and jade and stationery items, their original owners are likely to be a royal family of the Ming Dynasty, as for whether it is Zhu Cihong or not, other evidence is needed to confirm.

Meng Zitao continued to check the ancient books next to him, these ancient books are all rare books, as for the content, most of them are Confucian classics.

At the end, Meng Zitao was suddenly stunned, he actually saw a volume of "Yongle Canon".

"Is it a copy or a transcript?"

Meng Zitao picked up the ancient book with some excitement, opened it and looked at it, he couldn't believe his eyes, this "Yongle Canon" was neither a copy nor a copy, it was actually the original! This made his fingers tremble slightly because of excitement.

You may think it is strange, isn't it just a volume of "Yongle Canon", Mencius Tao has even seen hundreds of millions of jadeite, how can he be so excited? If you know the situation of "Yongle Canon", you will be able to understand.

"Yongle Grand Canon" is a collection of more than 8,000 kinds of ancient books and classics from the pre-Qin period to the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the famous subset of scriptures and history, as well as philosophy, literature, history, geography, religion, medicine and other works, all-inclusive.

"Yongle Canon" also includes a lot of precious books that have been mutilated or lost in later generations, such as "Xue Rengui's Expedition to Liao", Song Ben's "Notes on the Book of Water", etc., the materials cited are completely copied from the original text, so many valuable documents can preserve their original appearance, people call "Yongle Canon" as "a treasure house of rare books and secret books before the beginning of the Ming Dynasty".

It is no exaggeration to say that the Yongle Encyclopedia is the largest encyclopedia in the history of our country, and it is more than 300 years earlier than the famous Encyclopedia Britannica.

The Yongle Canon was edited and completed in the sixth year of Yongle and was collected in the Wenyuan Pavilion in Jinling. In the nineteenth year of Yongle, Ming Chengzu Zhu Di moved the capital to the capital, and also brought the "Yongle Canon" to the past and collected it in the Wenyuan Pavilion in the palace.

In the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, because the emperor liked immortal Taoism all his life, he wanted to seek immortality. On his desk, there are always several volumes of the Yongle Canon for reference. In the thirty-sixth year of Jiajing, there was a fire in the palace, and Jiajing immediately ordered Dengwenlou to rush the "Yongle Canon", and he issued an edict three or four times in one night, anxious and out of shape, which shows the importance of the "Yongle Canon" in his heart.

Although it was rescued in the end, Jiajing specially issued a decree to re-record a set of copies of the "Yongle Canon" as a precaution. Four years later, there was a copy of the Yongle Canon. The original is stored in Wenyuan Pavilion, and the copy is hidden in the imperial history. However, from this time on, the whereabouts of the original copy of the "Yongle Canon" were unknown.

Some people think that it was destroyed in the fire of the Qianqing Palace in the Qing Dynasty, but this statement is untenable, because when the Qianlong period edited the "Siku Quanshu", because it was necessary to compile the book from the "Yongle Canon", the "Yongle Canon" was searched inside and outside the palace. If the original is still hidden in the palace, it is certainly impossible to find it outside the palace.

In addition, it is said that it was burned by Li Zicheng, and Li Zicheng hurriedly evacuated the capital after becoming emperor. He vented his anger on these centuries-old palaces and towers in the capital, and ordered them to be set on fire. In such a troubled world where everyone is at risk, no one cares about the existence and fate of a book.

But this is also unfounded, Li Zicheng burned some books, but there is no record that what was burned was the "Yongle Canon". Moreover, even the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty did not know where the original copy of the "Yongle Grand Canon" was stored, so how could it be proved that Li Zicheng burned the "Yongle Grand Canon"? This is just a speculation.

Although there are different opinions and different theories, one unchangeable fact is that for hundreds of years, the original version of the "Yongle Canon" has never appeared. None of the official histories can be found to be accurate about the originals.

As for the copies, they were lost in the hands of the Qing emperors. Shunzhi once kept the "Yongle Canon" by his side to read, and the attendants around him may take the opportunity to steal the "Yongle Canon" for themselves. When Kangxi opened the library to repair the book, he found that the copy of the "Yongle Canon" was incomplete.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the "Yongle Grand Canon" was tragically plundered by war. The Boxers besieged the British Embassy, the Jingyi Pavilion where the Yongle Dictionary was stored was destroyed, and the pages of the Hanlin Academy were scattered everywhere. According to statistics, there are 607 copies of the Yongle Canon destroyed in this catastrophe.

After the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, most of the "Yongle Grand Canon" was burned, and most of the rest were plundered to other countries such as Britain, the United States, and France. According to expert estimates, there are still about 400 fragments of the Yongle Canon surviving in the world, scattered in nine countries and regions.

Over the past decades, scholars at home and abroad have worked tirelessly to explore the traces of the lost canons, and have extensively collected fragments and leftovers, so far 221 volumes have been collected in the National Library of China, and nearly 800 volumes of the canon have been printed and published. But that's less than 4% of the original book.

It can be said that in order to be able to find more "Yongle Canon", the relevant departments and some people of insight have paid great energy and painstaking efforts, at this time, if the original of "Yongle Canon" suddenly appears, what a sensation it will cause, compared with Mencius Tao's extremely excited emotions now, you can imagine.

Meng Zitao didn't expect that there were the original copies of the "Yongle Canon" in this box, although there were only three copies, but he guessed that there must be clues to the rest of the "Yongle Canon" hidden in it, or the original was hidden on that isolated island?

But if that's the case, when did the original pass?

Although this is a mystery, and the original copy of the "Yongle Canon" may not be on that isolated island, but the fact has reached this point, Mencius has to find a way to go to that isolated island no matter what. You know, Black Fire also has information about that isolated island, and it would be terrible if they were the first to get there, and the original copy of the "Yongle Canon" was indeed on that isolated island.

Meng Zitao settled down, so as not to be noticed by Guo Weilong, he still pretended to look at the three volumes of "Yongle Canon" casually, but he didn't see other clues on it.

After that, he took advantage of the careful identification to look at the inside and outside of the box, and finally used his ability, except to conclude that the box was indeed an antique, there was no other information.

This made Bi Meng Zitao very disappointed in his heart, of course, he would definitely not show it on his face, nodded and said, "These things are not bad." ”

Guo Weilong said with a smile: "In the end, what Zhu Cihong used and watched, it will definitely not be bad." ”

Meng Zitao asked, "Can you be sure that it was used by Zhu Cihong?"

Guo Weilong spread his hands: "How can I be sure of this, I only know that the information passed down by my ancestors is like this, as for you want me to come up with evidence, I will definitely not be able to come up with it." ”

Meng Zitao thought for a while and said, "Mr. Guo, I want all these things, please give me a price." ”

Guo Weilong pondered for a moment: "Well, even if it's three million." ”

Meng Zitao smiled and said: "I won't tell you, if you can confirm that this is indeed used by Zhu Cihong, I will definitely buy it without saying a word, now, this price is a bit high, I also sincerely want to buy it, how about two million?"

Guo Weilong smiled bitterly: "Your price is too fierce, at most 200,000 less." ”

Meng Zitao shook his head, you came and went, and finally talked about 2.6 million.

directly used the laptop to transfer the account to Guo Weilong, and Meng Zitao asked again: "Mr. Guo, you see that I am also sincere, you really have nothing else?"

"It's really not, I swear!" Guo Weilong said, raising his hand.

Meng Zitao asked again: "Let me ask again, these are the only things that your ancestors got?"

Guo Weilong said in a sincere tone: "I should sell a few pieces, I don't know exactly what was sold." ”

Next, Meng Zitao asked a few more questions, and then said goodbye with Yu Weigang.

Downstairs, Yu Weigang said with some resentment: "No wonder the old saying goes, Lu Yao eats horsepower, and sees people's hearts for a long time, I didn't expect that Guo Weilong is so unlikely, no wonder I didn't feel distressed when he handed over the painting just now." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "That's why the old saying is good, knowing people and knowing faces doesn't know their hearts." ”
