Chapter IX

Zhuang Rui was a little impatient and even a little rude and pushed aside the letters and notes in the box, and the bottom of the box revealed the two scrolls about fifty centimeters long, without looking closely, Zhuang Rui couldn't wait to take out the scrolls, but he was still more careful, at this moment, these two scrolls were undoubtedly the most important things in his mind.

You know, since the aura in the eyes, Zhuang Rui has been trying to increase the amount of aura all the time, after two consumptions, the aura has been very thin, and there is no way to supplement, although he can now use the control of the aura output, but these days when Zhuang Rui is in contact with people, his eyes are wandering, for fear of inadvertently releasing the aura, if the aura in his eyes is really exhausted, then he wants to cry without tears.

It's been a long time since I've felt this way, when holding the two scrolls in my hand, although Zhuang Rui doesn't know whether they are picture scrolls or banners, Zhuang Rui can feel his heart beating "bang", as if he is about to jump out of his throat.

Without bothering to wipe the dust on the scroll, Zhuang Rui carefully put it on his bed, then walked to the bathroom, and after washing his face with cold tap water, his mood was relieved.

Returning to his room, Zhuang Rui did not open the scroll, but sat on the bed, placed the scroll on his lap, and looked at the scroll intently, the blue light flashed, and the aura came out of his eyes, reflecting on the scroll, but the result disappointed Zhuang Rui, because the amount of aura in the returned eyes did not increase again, and the experiment just now was the same as the previous perspective of ordinary books, only to see the objects below through the scroll.

"What went wrong?".

Zhuang Rui was slightly disappointed, but he could bear this result, after all, the amount of aura had indeed increased before, and now what he needed was to find the right way to increase the aura in his eyes, and he didn't expect to absorb aura in these two scrolls repeatedly.

Zhuang Rui got up and found a clean towel, wiped the dust on the outside of the two scrolls, and then opened the scrolls and spread them flat on his bed.

After opening the scroll, Zhuang Rui found that there were two words, one of which read: An Zhi Fenghuang is not as good as me, and the other is: And eat clams and ask the sky. The above paragraph is: "generous" two words, under the style there is also a red seal, there are four words on it: generous interpretation.

Although Zhuang Rui does not understand calligraphy, he also knows that the author's skills are very deep, and the paper used to look at these two words has been slightly yellowed, and the two sides of the wooden shaft are also a little decolorized, and it is the grandfather's collection, at least it should be a work before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Zhuang Rui has never heard of Dafang, but if he wants to figure out the origin of Dafang, it is not very difficult, he doesn't understand, he can ask Uncle De.

After thinking of this, Zhuang Rui immediately picked up the phone and called Uncle De, and after the phone was connected, Uncle De's angry voice came: "It's Xiaozhuang, are you back home......?"

Zhuang Rui couldn't help blushing a little when he heard this, he didn't know how to make a phone call to report his safety after he went home, and he thought of others when he had something, so he hurriedly said: "Uncle De, I'm fine, and I'm okay with my body, I will try to go to work early after the New Year, and I want to make this call to make you feel at ease."

"It's okay, don't rush to work, rest at home for a while, I've arranged everything for the pawn shop, don't worry, ask your mother for the New Year, I'll hang up if it's okay, a group of apprentices will come to me to pay New Year's greetings......."

Uncle De is a little noisy over there, he is also a well-known figure in the Zhonghai antique world, a large group of apprentices and grandchildren, and the family is very lively every New Year.

"Uncle De, I really have something to ask you ......", these two words are very important to Zhuang Rui, and he can't care about being polite.

"Oh, wait, I'll come out and answer the phone......."

Uncle De was a little surprised, he was not interested in what he knew, he had been together for a year, and he had never seen him use the word "ask for advice".

"Uncle De, that's the case, my family's old house is going to be demolished, I went to clean up my grandfather's relics, and found that there were two words inside, which read: An Zhifeng Huang is not as good as me, and he eats clams and asks the sky. The payment is the word "generous", you know, I have six tricks for these are seven tricks, and I don't know anything at all, so I can't ask your old man ......."

Zhuang Rui reported the size of the two characters to Uncle De, and he was really a little apprehensive in his heart, for fear that Uncle De would not know the origin of this character.

After listening to what Zhuang Rui said, Uncle De laughed out loud and said, "You kid doesn't learn anything, you asked you to learn something from me before, but now you know that there is no harm in learning many things......."

Zhuang Rui naturally made a lot of compensation, and promised that he would learn more knowledge from Uncle De in the future, so that he could find out the identity and origin of Dafang.

Dafang, also known as Fang Di Mountain, was born in 1873, formerly known as Fang Erqian, the word Di Mountain, Jiangdu (now Yangzhou City), Jiangsu Province, born in a scholarly family (father Fang Peisen for the Qing Dynasty Tongzhi Ding Mao Imperial Examination people, for many years in charge of the local teaching), good at calligraphy and couplets, famous scholars, calligraphers, couplets in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China.

Fang Dishan was smart and wise when he was young, good at calligraphy, proficient in many studies of Jinshi calligraphy and painting and ancient book versions, calligraphy is quite steep, there are mountains and forests, pretend to be wild and unrestrained, frivolous and witty, unkempt, at the age of 13, he was admitted to Xiucai, and then taught in the Beiyang Military Academy, and Yuan Shikai's second son Yuan Kewen became a friend of Mo and his children, and Zhang Daqian, a painter who was not famous at that time, became a friend of the year.

Fang Dishan is good at making joint languages, especially good at writing embedded name couplets, interesting couplets, and the Ming Dynasty Xie Jin, the Qing Dynasty Ji Yun in the same line, still wise and ingenious. The inlaid name couplet written by the person is all improvised, never drafted, natural, the meaning of the word is extremely workmanlike, and the allusions are often naturally integrated, leaving no traces of the axe and chisel, which can be called a must, and was called the "United Saint" of the Republic of China at that time.

"Uncle De, do we have any works in the pawn shop?"

After listening to Uncle De's introduction, Zhuang Rui knew that Fang Dishan was also a master in the field of modern calligraphy, but now he wanted to find another piece of Fang Dishan's work to see if he could absorb the aura from it.

"We don't have a pawnshop, but it's ......."

Uncle De pondered for a while, and then said: "Fang Dishan's works have been handed down more, some collectors in Zhonghai have them, you kid wants to ask the price, because there are more generations, the price of his works is not very high, your two are a couplet, the price should be between eight thousand and fifteen thousand, the things left by the elders, you still keep it, if you lack money to use Uncle De, I can turn you around." ”

Seeing that Uncle De misunderstood what he meant, Zhuang Rui hurriedly said: "Uncle De, that's not what I mean, I mainly saw the things left by the elders, and the other party Dishan was just interested, and I even wanted to know what other works he had, and when I returned to Zhonghai, please take me to visit the people who have collected his works." ”

Since this couplet can no longer absorb the aura, Zhuang Rui wants to see if he can absorb the aura from the rest of Fang Dishan's works.

"There's no problem with this, when the time comes, you bring that couplet, and I'll take you to some Tibetan friends to communicate. ”

Uncle De was very happy to hear Zhuang Rui's words, the antique industry is the first important character, Zhuang Rui is loyal and honest, he has a very good impression of Zhuang Rui, he has always wanted to take him into the industry but did not get his wish, now Zhuang Rui himself came to the door, Uncle De is just asking for it.
