Chapter 6 Calligraphy Connoisseurs
Out of the soup dumpling shop, on the way to the jade shop, Xu Gang still became more and more embarrassed the more he thought about it, so he took two quick steps forward, bullied the foreigner who didn't understand Shaanxi dialect, and muttered to Zhang Tianyuan.
"What are you doing, reluctant to give up your money?" Zhang Tianyuan asked with a smile.
"You're still laughing? I know that you are smarter than me, but in terms of social experience, I am much better than you. That guy looks honest, but who knows if he really got the garbage from somewhere, and wants to cheat money by being a foreigner. "Xu Gang didn't have a good airway.
"What if I have to buy it?" Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile still on his face.
Xu Gang sighed and said: "If you have to buy it, our brother has nothing to say, the money will definitely be lent to you, isn't it just 20,000 yuan, it's a trivial matter! But I'm afraid that I will be deceived by a foreigner, and I will be laughed at in the antique world in the future, aren't you afraid?"
Zhang Tianyuan patted Xu Gang's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Gangzi, I didn't say you, you really were bitten by a snake once, and you were afraid of the well rope for ten years? Brother, I don't dare to say that I have more experience than you, but I definitely know more than you about antiques, I studied archaeology, and I have read a lot of books on antiques before, don't worry, it won't be wrong." ”
Zhang Tianyuan is of course familiar with a lot of antiques, that is the number of books he reads, but when it comes to appraisal techniques, then he really can't do it, if he hadn't accidentally gotten the six-character true recipe of Feng Shui Baojian, he really didn't dare to touch things today.
But now it's different, since it's been determined that this piece is worth a lot of money, how can anyone watch the baby fly in front of you and not take it?
He didn't know whether the foreigner was really stolen or fake, and he didn't know if the foreigner was really from Germany. But is it necessary to know this? Anyway, he's already determined that it's worth something, and that's enough.
Although it is not clear which great calligrapher's tracing work this "Balcony Post" is, it does not matter, and the key to finding out sooner or later is that it is indeed valuable, and the value is not low.
Xu Gang was stunned by Zhang Tianyuan's words, and wanted to doubt, but when he saw Zhang Tianyuan's confident expression, he hesitated a little.
As he said, people are greedy, in case that character is really a treasure, it is not in line with his Xu Gang's style of being a man to let it go like this.
"But that thing is broken, is it still worth anything?" Xu Gang asked again.
"Let me tell you a secret, I know a person who specializes in repairing these things, it doesn't matter if it's broken, find that person to repair it, it's almost like a good one, the foreigner doesn't know about the road, he wants to know the way, and he will definitely not sell it to me for 20,000 yuan." Zhang Tianyuan made up another lie and deceived Xu Gang.
Although the repair is real, the person who repairs it is himself, and he relies on the six-character mantra in the manufactural, not an expert in repairing.
"If 20,000 doesn't work, 10,000 will do......" The foreigner seemed to see Xu Gang's dissatisfaction, so he leaned over and said with some confidence.
"No, 20,000 is 20,000, I've always been a good person. My friend is just a little suspicious, nothing bad, don't care. Zhang Tianyuan explained, and patted Xu Gang and asked Xu Gang to make a statement.
Xu Gang smiled at the foreigner quite unnaturally, feeling more ugly than crying.
Although he already believed Zhang Tianyuan's words a little, he was still a little unhappy in his heart, and it would cost 20,000 yuan to write a few words on a piece of torn paper? His own money was not stolen! This feeling is like if you want to buy a J-8 but you have to pay someone an F-22, who can stand it?
But if it's not happy, he still took out the money, and there was it in the jade shop, a full 20,000 yuan in cash, a lot of money.
"Ten thousand is enough. The foreigner seemed to be frightened by Xu Gang's iron-blue face, and he didn't dare to take the money.
Zhang Tianyuan handed the bag containing the money to the foreigner and said: "Take it well, don't lose it again this time, if you lose it again, you won't even be able to go back to Germany." ”
The foreigner is a tall and strong man, but at this time, suddenly the tears of the bean size fell, and he couldn't help crying.
"Don't cry, bad luck. Xu Gang pouted.
"Okay, Gangzi. Zhang Tianyuan walked over to comfort the foreigner and said: "If you still want to go shopping in Xifeng City, you can put the money away properly, in fact, the thief is not so terrible, I used to go home, I always had thousands of dollars in my bag, I never lost it, just be careful." ”
"No need, my mood was ruined this time, I really don't want to stay, I will adjust it when I go back, and I will have the opportunity to come again in the future, thank you." The foreigner turned around and left with great gratitude, and walked in the direction of the bus stop, probably going to the airport.
Seeing the foreigner leave, Zhang Tianyuan turned his head and saw Xu Gang's iron-blue face, as if someone had cut a piece of the flesh on his body.
"Okay, okay, the money is borrowed by me, and I will pay you back when the time comes, if this thing can really be sold for a big price, I will give you half of it, if it can't be sold, then I will exchange you for 20,000 yuan, it's always okay, right?" Zhang Tianyuan said while pushing Xu Gang into the jade shop.
"Damn, who mentioned the money!" Xu Gang scolded: "You think I'm really rare for those 20,000 yuan, I'm afraid that you will be deceived." Come on, the business is done anyway, this thing is really going to buy a lot of money, I won't give it to you, you just pay me back, if you lose, the 20,000 yuan will be lost to me. ”
The two of them walked into the jade shop as they spoke, and Xu Gang lost his temper at the guy in the store because he was unhappy, saying that the jade was not in a good position.
Zhang Tianyuan hurriedly apologized for him, these years, the guy is different from the ancient times, now people want to save face, even if it is a buddy, it is not a slave, you scold him twice, if he holds a grudge, one day he will retaliate against you, it will not be cost-effective.
The two entered the back room, Xu Gang turned on the TV, and ignored Zhang Tianyuan a little angrily.
And Zhang Tianyuan also happened to need a little personal time at this time, so he wrapped up the character and walked into a separate VIP room.
This VIP room is actually a small house, which is the place that Xu Gang uses to receive old customers on weekdays, and it happens to be empty today.
"I'll lend you a VIP room. After Zhang Tianyuan finished speaking, he locked the door from the inside, and then put the broken word on the table.
He immediately invoked the earth's qi, used the mending technique, and began to mend the character.
The process of repairing is actually similar to mending clothes, except that one uses needles and threads, and the other uses earthy qi, but they all need to be careful.
This process took Zhang Tianyuan several hours to complete.
In the process of repairing, he also found that his use of earth qi seemed to be more and more proficient, not only that, there was a special earth qi in his body, which was different from others, as if it was the earth qi that existed in his body from the beginning, in short, it was as if it was the origin of the earth qi, with this origin of the earth qi, he was able to absorb the external earth qi.
Moreover, the stronger the Origin Qi, the more foreign Earth Qi can be absorbed, and the easier it will be.
Zhang Tianyuan didn't understand how to strengthen this origin qi before, but now he found out that it was actually just one word "use".
With more use, the original earth qi can be exercised, and then it will become stronger and stronger, and gradually transform the external earth qi into the source earth qi to replenish the lost part.
Zhang Tianyuan has reason to believe that when his origin qi is strong enough, he can absorb the terrifying earth qi like the Qinling Dragon Vein.
This repair is not only to re-close the damaged words, but also to remove the oil stains on it, just like when the foreigner first got the word.
"Bang bang bang!" there was a knock on the door outside.
"Tian Yuan, you won't die inside, will you?"
"Damn, you guy really can't speak auspicious words, this is your jade shop, what is not dead, nonsense. Zhang Tianyuan put the painting close to his body, he didn't want to show it to Xu Gang now, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble, after all, that thing had been repaired, and it was not easy to explain.
The door opened, and Xu Gang slapped his mouth twice and said, "My mouth is really cheap enough...... But what the hell are you doing here, it's getting dark, and the jade shop is closing. ”
"I didn't do anything, I just studied the word. Zhang Tianyuan replied.
"Did you come up with any research?" asked Xu Gang with interest.
Zhang Tianyuan shook his head.
"Cut, I just know that Lu Dao is not a good thing, yes, 20,000 yuan is in vain!" Xu Gang shrugged his shoulders and said: "That's it, don't care about any words, let's eat, how about eating kebabs tonight?" ”
Zhang Tianyuan didn't have any appetite at this time, not because he wasn't hungry, but because he had something on his mind, and he wanted to know who described this thing, which was like the devil's **, which made him unable to extricate himself.
"Gangzi, is there anyone in Xifeng City who is more familiar with modern and modern calligraphers?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.
Xu Gang stared at the ceiling for a long time, and suddenly shouted, "Ah——!hhhh
"You're a ghost, scare me. Zhang Tianyuan thought something was wrong with him, so he glanced at him and said.
"No, do you still want to know the answer to the question you just asked?" Xu Gang asked with his hands in front of his chest, very smugly.
"Do you know someone like that?"
"Of course I do, and you do. Xu Gang smiled.
"Who the hell is it, why don't I have any impression at all?" Zhang Tianyuan was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, but Xu Gang, the stinky boy, deliberately didn't say anything about hanging his appetite.
"Look at your urgency, okay, let's go out to eat first, while eating, I'll tell you in detail again. ”
"Okay!"
When the two of them went out, they closed the roller shutter door of the jade shop, and went to the nearby kebab stall to ask for more than a dozen skewers of mutton skewers and two bottles of beer.
"Can you say it now?" Zhang Tianyuan took two bites of meat, and after swallowing it, he felt that his stomach was a little more comfortable, and then asked.
Xu Gang gobbled up two full skewers of mutton, and then said, "Do you remember the classmate who transferred from the class when we were in the first year of high school?"
Zhang Tianyuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "How can you not know each other, the two of us fought for that girl at that time." ”
"Yes, yes, that's that Wu Tingyu! Tsk, that's called a beautiful, good figure, or from a big city, she speaks Mandarin alone in the class, and her voice is very good, especially those eyes, as if they can hook people's souls. ”
"Yes, is it as exaggerated as you say?" Zhang Tianyuan hurriedly interrupted Xu Gang's words.
"Why not? No, you would like her and have a fight with Lao Tzu. Xu Gang pouted.
"At that time, I was too young to understand anything, and now that I see her, I may not like her. Zhang Tianyuan's words are a bit against his will, in fact, from the first year of high school to his graduation from college, he has always had the shadow of Wu Tingyu in his heart, and even the girl he talked about in college is somewhat similar to Wu Tingyu.
"Okay, you, I've never seen you get so angry, even I have to beat me!" Xu Gang waved his hand and said: "Don't explain, I know that you still have her in your heart, and she also liked you at that time, you two are really called dry firewood when they touch together, and they can burn."
"What nonsense, that's called a pure classmate relationship. ”
"Then tell me, what did you two lonely men and widows do in the classroom that afternoon? Xu Gang asked.
Zhang Tianyuan sighed and said, "I said it a long time ago, I didn't do anything, don't think of Lao Tzu as dirty as you." ”
"You, you, such a good opportunity, the girl deliberately asked you to stay with her, but you missed such a good opportunity, it is really, destined to masturbate for the rest of your life!" Xu Gang shook his head and said: "You must regret it now, right? She stayed in our school for two semesters, and then left, until the time she left, the two of you were still there to do **, and you didn't even say what you liked." ”
"She said......" Zhang Tianyuan exhaled a breath, took a sip of beer, and then said: "But at that time, I just wanted to study hard, you know that my parents are very strict, I can't let them down, I must be admitted to college, at that time she asked me if I liked her, if yes, I would stay, but I couldn't answer, she left the next day, without saying goodbye, and has not been heard from since." ”
"What the fuck should I say about you, bastard!" Xu Gang scolded.
"Indeed, I'm indeed a bad seed, but that's all in the past, don't mention it, it's boring, you won't tell me that the calligraphy appraisal master I'm looking for is Wu Tingyu, right?" asked Zhang Tianyuan, obviously unwilling to recall the past.
"It's not her, it's her mother!"
