Chapter 544: Seeking Words (II)
Early the next morning, Zhuang Rui left the courtyard with a pair of Lang Shining's "Emperor Qianlong's Concubine Garden Tour", as well as a few fresh fruits that have rarely been seen in winter, which was given to his grandfather by someone, and Zhuang Rui also borrowed flowers to offer Buddha. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The place where he made an appointment with the golden fat man was the famous little red building of Beijing Normal University, where the master had lived since the last century, and had never moved until now, because he could not drive the car downstairs directly, Zhuang Rui could only wait for the golden fat man at the back door of Beijing Normal University.
"Brother, the fruit is fine, but the teacher won't accept this thing......"
The golden fat man shook the glass of the car, and when he saw the things in Zhuang Rui's hand, he frowned, he could see that Zhuang Rui should be holding a painting, although the old man received gifts, but most of them received some extremely cheap things, and antiques have never been accepted.
Zhuang Rui smiled and said, "Brother Jin, this is a painting I brought back in Hong Kong, it has a lot to do with the old man's ancestors, I want to show the master, is it for the painter at that time?"
"Don't mention anything about the teacher's family background, he doesn't like to listen to that, go in and find a chance, I'll just let you take out the painting, but the teacher's eyes, alas, let's go......"
The golden fat man parked the car and actually took a fluffy panda toy from it, Zhuang Rui was dumbfounded, didn't he say that the old man had no children, what did the golden fat man do with a toy?
"Hehe, the teacher is old, but the person is very humorous, and also very childlike, we students will send him some fun things, this giant panda means that the teacher is a national treasure, there is a story in it......"
Listening to the golden fat man finish telling this story, Zhuang Rui also laughed, he had heard this story before, but in the mouth of the golden fat man, Zhuang Rui heard the original version.
This is a well-known joke, about the gentleman because of his poor health, the constant number of visitors, so he wrote a note with his usual humor and pasted it on the door: "The giant panda is sick, please refuse to visit!" The visitor saw it, smiled, turned around and left, and no longer bothered his old man.
This joke has been passed on for a long time, many people believe it to be true, and even some of Mr. Wang's students have written it into the article, and later Mr. came out and said: "This is a misinformation, I still have self-knowledge, how dare I call myself a national treasure?"
In fact, Mr. was in high debt, there were too many people asking for words, and he really couldn't do anything at home, and he couldn't do anything right, so he had to hide in the Diaoyutai Jingxi Hotel, because there were armed police standing guard there, and ordinary people couldn't get in.
But it is not a matter of hiding for a long time, and after returning home, Mr. wrote four sentences: "I hibernate, refuse to visit, knock on the door and push the door, and be fined one yuan." "I put the note on the door, but the note was only on the door for a day before it was taken away and collected.
Mr. was helpless, and a few days later, he used a ballpoint pen again: "I am sick and unable to socialize, I have something to leave a message, and the gentleman is self-respecting." And glued it firmly to the door with paste, but it continued to be visited ever since.
Later, cartoonist Ding Cong learned of this and drew a cartoon, named "The Giant Panda is Sick", and gave it to Mr., which is the truth of this story.
After coming to the Little Red Mansion, the fat man said hello to an old man who looked to be in his 60s and asked, "It's a New Year's greeting for you, are there many people coming to see the teacher today?"
"No, you are the first to go, go up......" The old man smiled very kindly, he is the master's nephew, he is a very duty teacher, he has been serving the master for decades, and he is very familiar with the students of Jin Fatzi.
"Fortunately, there are not many people here today, otherwise the teacher will have to waste his energy again......"
The golden fat man greeted Zhuang Rui, and the two walked up to the second floor of the small building, which has a total of two floors, the first floor is where the master's nephew lives, and Mr. himself lives on the second floor, and one of the two houses above is Mr.'s studio.
The fat golden man knocked on the door very hard, and the gentleman's ears were not very good, but soon there was a "coughing" sound from the door, and then he asked, "Which one?"
"Teacher, it's me, I'm here to greet you, can you hear my voice?"
"Come in, you child, close the door......" came the gentleman's laughter from the room, not loud, but very clear.
"Teacher, I'll kowtow to you for the New Year......
In the antique calligraphy and painting industry, which has been inherited for a long time, basically the people in the industry follow the rules that have been continued in ancient times, like the uncle of Benshan in the Northeast, because of the matter of the apprentice kowtow, it has caused a lot of controversy in the society, but this is a tradition, in the eyes of the older generation, the king of heaven and earth is a teacher, kowtow to the master, and it is justified!
As soon as the golden fat man entered the room, he didn't care whether the floor was dirty or not, whether the old man could see it or not, put the things in hand casually, and really kowtowed on his knees.
"Okay, you little fat man, come here, let the teacher see what gifts you brought......"
Zhuang Rui was startled by the golden fat man's actions just now, and he didn't have time to see the master, but now he followed the reputation and found that the master was sitting in a wheelchair in front of a square table, holding a magnifying glass in his hand, and seemed to be reading a book, and was disturbed by the two of them.
The master's face is very delicate, at first glance he looks like a woman, but there are already a lot of old age spots on his face, his hair is very thin, but he is very neatly combed, and his face is now with that kind childlike smile, which looks like a kind elder.
The golden fat man is also in his forties, but in the eyes of Mr., it is really a little fat man, if the gentleman has children, the grandson is estimated to be older than the golden fat man.
"Teacher, I brought you a giant panda toy, fluffy, you can touch ......"
The golden fat man picked up his toy and put it on his lap, causing him to laugh and scold: "You little fat man, I said that thing was fake, why did you give this away? The teacher is either a national treasure, or a teacher......
The old man's words made Zhuang Rui, who was standing next to him, awe-inspired, and he could see that when the old man said this, he did not have a trace of pretentiousness, and he said it completely from the heart.
The humility and calm demeanor when Mr. spoke made Zhuang Rui feel a little impetuous because of the busy New Year, and suddenly calmed down in an instant, perhaps, this is the charm of personality.
"There's still a guest here, right? Sit down, sit down, ......."
The old man's eyesight was very poor, and he didn't use a magnifying glass, so he could only vaguely see two figures, sitting in a wheelchair and beckoning Zhuang Rui to sit down.
"Sir, I am engaged in collection, I admire Mr.'s knowledge and character, this time I am here to give you a New Year's greeting......"
Zhuang Rui first stood in front of the old man, bowed to the old man three times in a proper manner, and then sat on the sofa, but when he sat down, he felt like he was sitting in a pile of books, because the sofa was full of all kinds of books.
This will Zhuang Rui have time to look at this room, dare to feel that in this small room, except for the bed, bookshelf desk, and a sofa coffee table, the rest of the place is full of books.
The gentleman waved his hand again and again, and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, how old am I to live, I don't dare to talk like this, my ears and eyes are not very good, young man, you speak louder......"
The old man smiled, and then said: "Last year, a few people came to the family and asked me to be the honorary director of the China Welfare Foundation for the Disabled, and I heard it just right, I can't see with my eyes now, and I can't hear clearly with my ears, and I am a disabled person, and I said that I want to resolutely join the Disabled Persons' Federation......
Mr.'s words made Zhuang Rui and Jin Fat both laugh, and his open-minded and humorous personality can infect the people around him.
"Sir, you're in good health, you can definitely hear me ...... when I speak."
When Zhuang Rui spoke, he quietly released a few traces of aura, which seeped into the old man's ears and eyes.
During the time he came to Beijing, Zhuang Rui experimented with his grandfather and Old Man Song, and he found that when the old man reached a certain age, perhaps his body functions were degraded greatly, and his response to the aura was very slow, even if he was not sleeping, he would not be discovered by them if he entered a small amount of aura.
"Hey, I can really hear it, this person is in good spirits on happy occasions, little fat man, you see if the door is not closed, why do I feel a little cool breeze?"
Because the old man was too old, Zhuang Rui's amount of aura just now was also a little too much, and the old man also felt a little cool on his face, and in this heated house, he felt it very clearly.
"Teacher, the doors and windows are closed well......"
The fat man Jin became nervous when he heard this, and hurriedly checked it, this old man's winter, but the saddest, a little cold and flu may cause extremely serious consequences.
"Well, my eyes are a little sour, maybe I have been reading for a long time just now, alas, in fact, my half-blind eyes haven't seen a few big words clearly......"
The old man took out a handkerchief, wiped his eyes, and said to Zhuang Rui: "Young man, you are holding a painting in your hand, right?
Zhuang Rui replied respectfully: "Sir, it is a "Concubine Garden Map" by Lang Shining, the imperial painter of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, and this time it is specially brought to give you an ...... for the old man to appreciate."
"Lang Shining's paintings are not fake, but there are also not many real paintings, but unfortunately, I can't see clearly with this look......"
The old man shook his head slightly, he is like this, he can't see clearly or can't understand, he won't talk nonsense, because as a master of the domestic calligraphy and collection circles, he is not only a word of gold, but also a word of gold.
"Hey, no, teacher, how do you know that Xiao Zhuang brought a painting?"
The fat man suddenly asked a question on the side, he knew that the teacher's eyes could only distinguish a figure at most, so how did he see what Zhuang Rui was holding in his hand?
