"What, 800,000?" Ma Ruibo suddenly looked a little embarrassed when he heard this, they originally agreed that it was 450,000, but he raised 350,000 at once, where did he go to collect all this money for a while?

Ma Ruibo has a high reputation in the domestic calligraphy industry, and his calligraphy price is not low, but firstly, he does not like to sell his calligraphy works, and secondly, he usually likes to collect calligraphy and paintings of famous artists, so he does not have much money in his hand, and it will cost him his life to take out millions at once.

There was also a young girl beside Ma Ruibo, who frowned and said, "Boss Su, didn't we say 450,000 yuan in advance, how can you increase the price for no reason!"

Boss Su spread his hands and put on an embarrassed expression: "This is really none of my business, Mr. Zhu is willing to spend 800,000 yuan to buy this work, I can't push it away." And this is still a masterpiece of chapter grass, which is rare, and it is the work of Mr. Shiraishi, to be honest, 800,000 is not expensive. ”

The girl was about to say more, but Ma Ruibo waved her hand and said, "Xiaolan, don't say it, maybe I have nothing to do with this work, right?"

Speaking of this, Marebo let out a long sigh and looked disappointed.

"Hmph!" Ma Yulan snorted coldly and glared at Boss Su viciously.

At this time, Meng Zitao stepped forward and greeted: "Ma Lao, hello." ”

Ma Ruibo looked back, and his face suddenly showed a look of surprise, but he heard him speak: "Xiao Meng, when did you come to Yingdu?" But there is a way that it is better to come early than to come by chance, can you lend me 350,000 yuan to meet the emergency?"

Meng Zitao wanted to laugh when he saw Ma Ruibo's impatient appearance, no wonder Yang Lao called him Old Horse Monkey at the beginning, and when he saw his anxious side, he knew why Yang Lao gave him this nickname.

"Ma Lao, can you let me appreciate the work first?"

"I'm going to ask the boss here. ”

Boss Su smiled and said, "Of course it's no problem." ”

After speaking, he put on his gloves and unfolded a painting and calligraphy work on the table.

The preservation of this calligraphy work is acceptable, and there are a few small moth-eaten eyes on the rice paper, but it has little effect on the work.

This work uses chapter cursive to write the famous "Urgent Chapter".

"Urgent" is a word book for teaching children's literacy, increasing knowledge and broadening their horizons in ancient China. Written by the Emperor of the Western Han Dynasty during the reign of Huangmen Lingshi You, the chapter describes various famous objects, such as surnames and names, splendid scenery, food, clothes, subjects, utensils, insects and fish, clothing, music, palaces, plants, animals, diseases, medicines, official positions, laws, geography, etc., not only for literacy, but also to spread knowledge to meet practical needs.

The original book may be written in Li, the Eastern Han Dynasty chapter grass prevailed, calligraphers like to write in cursive, Wei and Jin dynasties Zhong Xuan, Suo Jing, Mrs. Wei, Wang Xizhi all have written copies, but none of them have been handed down, only the Three Kingdoms period Wu Guohuang Xiang manuscript has been handed down. This character book is divided into 32 chapters, according to legend, the emperor's elephant manuscript is 31 chapters, and the Song Taizong is written 34 chapters, and the text of different biographies is also slightly similar and different. Because of the division of chapters, some people also call it "Urgent Chapter".

This chapter grass work is also remarkable, reaching a certain level, but compared with Qi Baishi's calligraphy, it still lacks a little taste.

According to the rules of the antique world, Meng Zitao didn't want to judge here, but he felt that Boss Su was too hateful, this work was obviously not worth 450,000 yuan, and he actually wanted to add another 350,000 yuan.

So, of course, Meng Zitao would not be polite when he spoke: "Ma Lao, to be honest, although you are angry, I think it, don't say 800,000 yuan for this work, even if 450,000 yuan is not worth it, since there is no chance, you don't want it, there is nothing to pity." ”

When Boss Su heard this, he was also a little annoyed, there is a saying that cutting off people's money is like killing his parents, and he is not polite when he speaks: "What kind of calligraphy do you kid know, and you dare to talk nonsense!" This is the work of Mr. Shiraishi in his later years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is his pinnacle work on chapter grass, how bad your eyes are, you dare to say that!"

Ma Ruibo was also a little puzzled by this, he felt that this work was already good, compared with the works of Qi Baishi he had admired before, it was still indistinguishable from Zhong Bo, could it be that his eyesight was really not good?

Ma Yulan was even more dissatisfied, and said in her heart, who do you think you are, you actually said that there is something wrong with my grandfather's fancy thing, if you didn't block this black-hearted boss, I would have to scold you.

Meng Zitao said lightly: "When Mr. Baishi talked about his own words, he said, 'If you want me to do my way, I want to have my own law'. Therefore, from Mr. Shiraishi's calligraphy, we can feel his frankness, naturalness, and the rhythm of vitality. ”

"I admit that this calligraphy work also shows some characteristics in this regard, but it is far from enough, it is not at all the level that Mr. Shiraishi should have in his later years, and besides, let's look at the whole text, can't you see that a few words in it are too blunt?"

Meng Zitao said, and then pointed to the copy, pointing out nearly a dozen words in a row, these words are not a problem to look at alone, but compared with the whole text, as long as there are some people with a calligraphy appreciation level, they can see that the artistic conception is worse.

Ma Ruibo lifted his glasses, read the words carefully, and a wry smile appeared on his face.

But Boss Su had a black face, but what made Meng Zitao admire him was that he immediately found a reason: "Well, I think it's normal, he should have been on a boat when he created this calligraphy work, and the wind and waves were relatively strong at that time, and the pen was unstable, so there would be a mistake." ”

"Hahaha...... Xiao Su's idea is relatively novel!" Ma Ruibo laughed, he laughed at his clumsiness, only looking at the pen of calligraphy, but ignoring the spirit of calligraphy. I am laughing at Boss Su is too black-hearted, not to mention anything else, how much business he patronizes, at least let him earn no less than hundreds of thousands of money, and now he is deceiving himself with a fake, and he actually temporarily increases the price!

Boss Su also knew that the reason he came up with was a bit nonsense, and then said: "Besides, who are you, why do you say what you say, I think you are completely subjective and talking nonsense!"

"Don't you know him?" Ma Ruibo looked a little incredible, if you are a layman, it doesn't matter if you don't know Meng Zitao, your boss Su is an old player, and you don't know who Meng Zitao is?

Boss Su was a little surprised when he saw Ma Ruibo say this, could it be that Meng Zitao is still a celebrity?

With Boss Su's style, Meng Zitao felt that even if he remembered who he was, he might deny it in every possible way, so he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter who I am, it just so happens that I had the honor to appreciate Mr. Baishi's chapter grass works in his later years, and I still remember some charm, how about I show you?"

Boss Su was stunned when he heard this, and laughed: "You can also write Mr. Baishi's charm, are you here to be funny?"

Meng Zitao said lightly: "Is it funny, you will know when I write it, even if I lose face, it will be a shame on me." ”

Seeing that Meng Zitao was so confident, Boss Su also had some doubts in his heart, could it be that Meng Zitao's calligraphy level was really very high? But after thinking about it again, he felt that he was a little worried, not to mention that he had no impression of Meng Zitao, even if Meng Zitao's calligraphy level was really high, could it be as high as Qi Baishi? This is obviously a fantasy.

"Okay, I'm going to see what kind of words you can write!" Boss Su turned around and was about to get the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Meng Zitao stopped directly: "Forget it, you just need to take some special grade Wang Liuji and the like." ”

As he spoke, he took out a pen, ink, and inkstone from his hair, and as for the rice paper, because it had not been folded well, he did not carry it with him.

Boss Su is a knowledgeable person, and he can see at a glance that Meng Zitao's pen, ink and inkstone are expensive.

Ma Ruibo's eyes lit up even more: "Xiao Meng, you should have some background in this matter." ”

Meng Zitao put the brush in front of Ma Ruibo: "Look at it." ”

Ma Ruibo carefully picked up this brush, only to see that the pen barrel is made of red sandalwood, the whole body of the bas-relief one rises and one descends two five-clawed cloud dragons, the double dragon opens its mouth to roar, the eyelashes are clear, the dragon's whiskers are slightly skimmed, the body is vigorous and powerful, the overall style is rough, vivid and expressive, according to the typical dragon pattern characteristics of the Wanli period.

The lower end of the pen barrel is decorated with seawater river cliff pattern, and the upper part is engraved with the six-character regular script of "Ming Wanli Year System", and there are gilded copper mouths at both ends of the pen cavity. This pen is exquisitely carved, although the ornamental composition is complicated but dense but not chaotic, the level is clear, extremely exquisite, and a similar collection of the Forbidden City is consistent with the workmanship, it should be the Ming Dynasty court boutique.

The body of the pen is carefully made, and the nib is also made of the best wolf's hair.

Ma Ruibo played with the brush and asked, "Xiao Meng, where did you get this wolf? This kind of quality is rare now." ”

When it comes to wolves, some people will always ask curiously whether it is made of wolf hair, and I believe that many beginners in calligraphy have such questions. In fact, the wolf's hair is relatively coarse, and it can't be used to make a brush, and the "wolf" in the wolf refers to the weasel, and the hair on the weasel's tail is taken when making the wolf's pen.

Different from the sheep's hair, which is best used in the south, the best wolf tail produced in the northeast is the best, called "northern wolf's hair" and "Kanto Liaowei".

Wolf hair than sheep hair pen strong, should be written and painted, but not as durable as sheep hair pen, in addition to the price is more expensive than sheep hair, especially in recent years, due to the deterioration of the ecological environment, wild weasels are decreasing, coupled with climate warming, the quality of the wool produced has also declined, both long and long wool is really rare, so the real pure wolf pen is not cheap.

Because of this, whether it is a physical store or an online store, it is now full of all kinds of fake wolf pens, some of which are mixed with nylon in the real wolf hair, which is good, and some are all pure fake wolf hair made of dyed artificial hair or other hair.
