When the teacher looked at the contract, Zhang Tianyuan and Nie Zhen walked around the store, before Zhang Tianyuan looked at these things, just to distinguish the real from the fake, and did not look closely, but now that he is walking around, in fact, many interesting imitations can also make people feel the fun.

The antique shop is not a single thing to sell, but contains a lot of variety, which is very miscellaneous.

Ceramics, calligraphy and painting, jade and miscellaneous, this is the four major categories of antiques, miscellaneous items are very complex, mainly including bamboo, wood, teeth, horns, four treasures of the study, lacquerware, embroidery, bronze, Buddha statues, gilded utensils, etc., as well as some items that can not be accurately classified such as hanging ornaments, bracelets, walnuts, etc., the biggest feature is that it is easy to play.

There are even some things that you can't classify at all, and they are directly classified into miscellaneous, and the so-called miscellaneous is what it means.

"Haha, brother, look, what is written on this wooden board dares to be called an antique, I don't think it's very good. Nie Zhen suddenly pointed to a pair of wooden planks and smiled.

"That's called Peach Fu, Brother Nie, since you want to play with antiques, it's better to learn more about this knowledge!" Zhang Tianyuan said with a wry smile.

"Peach Talisman, I know the Peach Wood Sword, isn't it just used by Taoist priests to catch ghosts, and what is Peach Talisman?" Nie Zhen asked with a hippie smile, not caring about this, not seeing his embarrassment at all.

Zhang Tianyuan shook his head and said, "The peach charm is a long-standing Han folk culture. On the occasion of bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, the ancients used peach wood boards to write the names of the two gods, 'Shen Tu' and 'Yu Lei', or painted the images of the two gods on paper, and hung, embellished or posted them on the door, with the intention of praying for blessings and eliminating disasters. It is said that the peach wood has the effect of suppressing evil spirits and driving away ghosts. This is the earliest peach symbol. ”

"Damn, after talking for a long time, isn't this the earliest door god?" Nie Zhen smiled: "But these two peach talismans." It looks like it's written in words. ”

"Well, this should be the earliest Spring Festival couplet, Meng Chang's book of 'New Year's Nayuqing,

Festive No. Changchun', on the eve of the Spring Festival. Meng Chang, the lord of Houshu, suddenly issued an order, asking the ministers to write couplets on the 'peach rune board' to test their talents. However, when the ministers wrote the couplet for Meng Chang to see, Meng Chang was not satisfied. So, he took the pen in his own hands. wrote such a pair on the 'peach charm board', which is the earliest Spring Festival couplet. Zhang Tianyuan explained.

"Oh, it's the earliest couplet, I see, the ancients were interesting. Nie Zhen nodded and smiled.

"It's not the earliest couplet, it's the earliest couplet. The first person in my country's couplet was not Meng Chang, but Liu Xiaoqiu of the Liang Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty more than 400 years earlier than him. Liu Xiaosui is an official in Jiankang, this person is very talented, he likes to help others, but after helping others, he often sarcastically and teases others, so although he has done many good things, no one says that he is good in the end. Later, he resigned and did not do it. Afraid that others would disturb him, he wrote a pair of 'Behind closed doors, hanging and hanging on the door, lying on Xie Gongqing', and refused to allow others to visit him, which should be the first couplet in China. ”

"By the Song Dynasty, couplets began to emerge. When Su Dongpo visited Wang Wenfu, he gave Wang a couplet of 'The door is big enough to allow thousands of horses to ride in, and the hall is deep and a hundred men are happy'. But at that time, the couplet was still called the peach symbol. ”

"It's complicated, I don't understand it anyway. Nie Zhen scratched his head, these things made him very big. I don't understand what peach charms and couplets are.

"Some of the couplets are quite interesting, and if you read them a lot, you know the beauty of them, and you look inside the antique shop. There are many peach charms for sale, although these are imitations, not antiques, but it is also very interesting to buy a few pieces back for the New Year. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile: "There is a couplet called 'Split the road of life and death with both hands, and cut off right and wrong with one knife', guess what you mean?"

"I think it means that a certain fierce general is very good at killing enemies, right?" Nie Zhen thought for a while.

"No, no, no, Zhu Yuanzhang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, built the capital of Nanjing, and in order to celebrate the opening of the national cause, he issued a decree on Chinese New Year's Eve, and a picture of the Spring Festival must be pasted on the door of the public secretary. This custom of turning the 'peach charm' into a posting Spring Festival couplets has been promoted from the official court to the people's portal overnight. Early the next morning, that is, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Zhu Yuanzhang traveled in micro-clothes, strolled through the streets and alleys, and appreciated the Spring Festival couplets. When he had a butcher who didn't post the Spring Festival couplets because he didn't have money to buy paper, he ordered someone to get paper and ink, and waved it at the moment to write a couplet for the butcher: split the road of life and death with both hands, and cut off the root of right and wrong with one knife. ”

"Damn, if you say such a fierce thing, you actually said that a pig killer was served. Nie Zhen smiled bitterly.

"Hahaha, interesting, if you want me to say, the current Spring Festival couplets are too boring, just those few words in the past, or the Spring Festival couplets of the ancients are interesting, almost every household is different. Zhang Tianyuan laughed.

"Isn't there anything real in this?" Nie Zhen asked.

"Yes, there must be, but the peach charm is generally unlikely to be preserved until now, it is wood, it has long been decayed after hundreds of years, where can it be preserved to this day, but there are some people who use special materials to inscribe the Spring Festival couplets, and they have been preserved to this day. Zhang Tianyuan explained.

"You can't write in gold and silver, do you?"

"What's wrong with that, I've heard that someone uses white jade to make couplets, but it's not hanging outside the door, it's hanging outside the hall, and it's interesting. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.

"By the way, Mr. Yu, you see this big New Year, you don't even hang a couplet outside the door, although your store is not open now, but it shouldn't be like this, the New Year should have a new atmosphere, couplets are a must. Zhang Tianyuan suddenly looked at Teacher Yu and said.

"I've heard that Boss Zhang's calligraphy is good, it's better to write a piece on the spot, but unfortunately I don't have red paper here, so I will replace it with a peach charm, and it also seems that we have an ancient style, what do you think?"

When Zhang Tianyuan was writing in a four-treasure shop in Panjiayuan, many people saw it, and Mr. Yu probably knew it, and he may even be one of the spectators at that time.

"What's so hard about that. Zhang Tianyuan was also immediately interested, and selected two clean peach planks, about one meter long, took pen and ink, and thought about it for a while. It reads: "The hands connect the ancient and modern roads, and the truth and falsehood are broken in one word." ”

"The horizontal batch is 'Bo Gu Tong Jin'. ”

Horizontal batch refers to the banner that is hung on the top of a couplet, and is generally only used for a few couplets that have this need. The so-called "horizontal" refers to the way of writing horizontally;" "Criticism" contains the meaning of revealing and commenting, which refers to supplementing, summarizing and improving the theme content of the whole couplet.

However, in modern times, the Spring Festival couplets must have horizontal batches, otherwise they cannot be called Spring Festival couplets, so if only the couplets are hung and the horizontal batches are not written. It's not a problem.

Although this couplet may not be neat, and it may not be correct, but for today's people, this thing can be seen at a glance to know what it is for, especially hanging at the door of the antique shop, everyone understands the meaning of this ancient and modern, true and false.

Of course. Zhang Tianyuan still borrowed from Zhu Yuanzhang's pair.

Nie Zhen was very enthusiastic to hang the peach talisman outside the door, which immediately attracted a group of passers-by to watch and comment.

As for whether the pair writes well, these people have very little evaluation, but they are full of praise for Zhang Tianyuan's calligraphy, although Zhang Tianyuan's calligraphy is still in the imitation stage. However, because of the relationship between imitation words, his imitation Cheng dù can simply be fake, so even in the eyes of connoisseurs, it is very good.

"Boss Zhang, after reading the contract, let's sit down and talk about it in detail, shall we?"

At this time, Nie Zhen was chatting with those people watching the excitement outside, and took out some of the things he had just heard from Zhang Tianyuan to show off. After Mr. Yu finished reading the contract, he asked Zhang Tianyuan to come over to discuss in detail, anyway, the store was not opened at this time, so no one would come in to disturb him, they could discuss everything here.

"Teacher Yu has finished reading it?" Zhang Tianyuan just came back from washing his hands, and asked with a smile on his face, when he was writing just now, there was some ink on his hands, and this hand must be washed.

"I'm done. Teacher Yu nodded and said.

"Is there a problem? If it's okay, can we sign the contract? I don't like to go around in circles. And there's no time to go around in circles, so let's get straight to the point. ”

Zhang Tianyuan has been busy since the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, this is just his private matter, you must know that if there is something in the company, he must pay attention to it. As the chairman, it's right to delegate power, but if you don't care about anything at all, it's not like it.

For example, in this new year, he always has to visit the employees, and he has to have a meeting to discuss the company's future exhibition plan, which he must attend, so on the matter of this small shop, let Xu Xu manage it, he doesn't have those time, the reason why he came today is because Xu Xu went back to Jincheng for the New Year, and there was no way to come, so he came.

"Boss Zhang, look at what you said, I took advantage of this contract, to be honest, just like the girl said last time, I have found a lot of people, but unfortunately they are not willing to pay such a high price, you are a benevolent person, this contract, I decided to sign it, and my father is estimated to be discharged from the hospital after the year, and he will definitely come to show you the scene when the time comes." ”

To be honest, Mr. Yu felt that Zhang Tianyuan was a little stupid in his heart, he was willing to give four million for something that was clearly valued at one million, what is this stupid? But he would not say this, he must exaggerate Tianyuan, Zhang Tianyuan has a vision.

And no matter whether Zhang Tianyuan is stupid or not, people always help their Yu family get through difficulties, you can't laugh at others, right?

However, Mr. Yu still read too much and became a nerd, and he didn't want to think about it, as the chairman of the HRE Group, would he be such a stupid person if he could develop his career to this day?

His psychology is like many people who want to pick up the leak, you feel that you have missed it, and in your heart you still scold those antique dealers for having no vision and being stupid, but in fact, you don't know that others are also scolding you for being stupid in their hearts.

Of course, Zhang Tianyuan will not scold Teacher Yu, he is still a little too soft-hearted, and if he changes someone else, he is afraid that he will continue to lower the price, and he will let go when he can't hold it down.

But he knew in his heart that the porcelain of the brother kiln was already priceless, and he couldn't be too shameless, not to mention that the Yu family was indeed in difficulty, and he didn't lack that money, so there was no need to do that kind of shameless thing, so he agreed to four million plus 600,000 a year rent, a total of seven million.

Seriously, according to Zhang Tianyuan's thoughts, he actually wanted to give more money, but he was afraid that the other party would be suspicious, so he didn't mention it. (To be continued.)
