Wu Tingyu's mother turned out to be a well-known calligraphy lover, although she was not a master of calligraphy, but she knew a lot about calligraphers in history, and it was simply unbeatable.

When Zhang Tianyuan came to Wu Tingyu's house, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, because Wu Tingyu was not at home, saying that he had traveled to Hong Kong and would come back in a few days.

But while he was relieved, he felt a little disappointed.

Wu Tingyu's mother is in her forties this year, but because of good maintenance, she looks similar to a woman in her thirties.

"I've heard Yuyu talk about you a long time ago, you helped her a lot in the past, if it weren't for you, she wouldn't have been admitted to Hong Kong Chinese University later, but it's a pity that I haven't seen you all the time, and I haven't even said a word of thanks, today can be regarded as seeing your true face of Lushan."

From Wu Tingyu's mother's words, it can be understood that Wu Tingyu did not talk about the relationship between the two people, but only said something about Zhang Tianyuan to help her study, which is okay, so as not to be embarrassed.

"What did Auntie say, Yuyu can be admitted to such a good university, that is her own ability, and it has nothing to do with me." Zhang Tianyuan shook his head with a smile and said.

"Don't be modest, I just happened to have dinner ready, do you want to eat together?"

Zhang Tianyuan rejected her kindness, saying that he had eaten it, and this time he wanted her to do a favor, so he showed her the handwriting.

When Zhang Tianyuan took out the words, Xu Gang looked like he had seen a ghost, and his face was incredulous.

The words, which were originally broken into four or five pieces, now look as if there are no traces of shattering, and there is no large oil stain on it.

However, because there were outsiders present, Xu Gang didn't ask much, thinking that he would torture Zhang Tianyuan well.

Wu Tingyu's mother took the letter, brought a magnifying glass, and after reading it carefully several times, she said happily: "Good thing, although this is a copy of "On the Balcony", but the person who copied it is very famous, this thing is really sold to people who know the goods, and it can be worth a lot of money." ”

Looking at her expression, as if she wanted to buy this character, Zhang Tianyuan is a little distressed now, if Wu Tingyu's mother asks, it will be difficult for him to refuse, but if he sells it now, he is reluctant, although his character appreciation trick can roughly estimate the value of this character, but after all, it is not accurate enough, and he doesn't know how much this thing is worth, so he is really unwilling to sell it now.

Fortunately, Wu Tingyu's mother seemed to have guessed Zhang Tianyuan's thoughts, and did not make excessive requests, but just smiled and talked about the origin of this character.

It was only at this time that Zhang Tianyuan really knew that it was a contemporary calligrapher named Qi Gong who copied this character.

Before leaving, Wu Tingyu's mother couldn't help but say to Zhang Tianyuan: "Child, if you want to sell it, can you sell it to your aunt first?" The price is negotiable. ”

Zhang Tianyuan nodded, and did not refuse, in fact, he also had such thoughts, if Wu Tingyu's mother really offered the right price and met his psychological price, then selling it to her would not only be regarded as a favor, but also not a loss.

Xu Gang, who learned that this character was worth a lot of money, forgot to ask Zhang Tianyuan how to repair the character, and he was elated along the way, praising Zhang Tianyuan's unique vision.

After arriving home, the two went back to their respective homes and looked for their own mothers.

Father Zhang Ruhai asked Zhang Tianyuan if he had eaten, Zhang Tianyuan said that he had eaten, and then he took the painting to his room alone.

Because the situation at home is not very good, although there are already people in the village who have used broadband, but Zhang Tianyuan's family has not, but Zhang Tianyuan's room has a bunch of books, these books used to be cooperatives, and then they were put here and not taken away, and they became the personal belongings of the Zhang family.

He remembered that those books contained information about Qi Gong, so he went to his room, closed the door, and began to rummage through them.

In a book entitled "Modern Calligraphy Masters", he finally found some information about this great calligrapher.

Qi Gong (1912-2005), the character Yuan Bai, also known as Yuan Bo, is a resident of the north of the Yuan. A native of Beiping City. He is a famous contemporary Chinese calligrapher, painter, educator, classical philologist, connoisseur, red scholar, poet, and master of Chinese culture.

This master is not only a calligrapher and painter, he has held a variety of positions, and can be said to be a famous figure in modern Chinese history.

Mr. Qigong lost his father when he was young, and he lived with his grandfather when he was 13 years old.

In order to pray for blessings, his grandfather once asked him to worship an old lama in the Lama Temple as a teacher, and he was named a little lama and named "Chagdorzab". At that time, after Xinhai, the Qing Emperor abdicated, and his great-grandfather was desperate for politics and did not want to live in the capital, in order to show that he no longer cared about state affairs. It just so happened that his great-grandfather had a student, named Chen Yunhe, who was also Hanlin, and his family was the richest man in HB Yi County, and he had a lot of wealth, so he invested in the purchase of a house in Yi County and invited his great-grandfather to live. Great-grandfather moved to Yi County with his family, and he was three or four years old when he started his work. Later, he went to a private school to read poetry.

Flipping through Mr. Kaigong's genealogy, you can find that this big man is actually the descendant of Yongzheng Emperor Yinzhen, and he can be regarded as a prominent family.

However, Zhang Tianyuan is most concerned about Mr. Qigong's attainments and achievements in calligraphy.

He saw an article that said that Mr. Qi Gong created his own "Qi Ti", which was famous in the calligraphy world.

Mr. Qi Gong has studied a large number of inscriptions, and his calligraphy works, whether they are banners, albums, or screens, can show beautiful rhythm and far-reaching artistic conception, and are called "enlightenment".

The calligraphy community commented: "It is not only a book for calligraphers, but also a book for scholars and poets." "It shows that the evaluation is high.

Of course, these are just simple evaluations, if you are in the antique business or the collecting business, then no matter how fanciful the things are exaggerated, it all comes down to one word - "money".

Although money is a bit vulgar, but for now, money is the only existence that can represent the value of these things, if there is no money, then how to reflect the value of these people? After all, it's people, it's all food, clothing, housing and transportation, how can you live without money?

Of course, Mr. Qi Gong's calligraphy works are also very popular in the market.

Taking the 2003 BJ Spring Auction as an example, China Guardian launched a total of 10 of his works, all of which were sold, of which 4 were more than 80,000 yuan, and "Seven Poems of the Tang and Song Dynasties" was auctioned for 418,000 yuan, and the transaction price was staggering.

Zhang Tianyuan felt that although this "Balcony Post" written by Mr. Qigong himself may not be as valuable as the original, it can be worth more than 100,000 yuan, and this time it is not a loss to buy this thing for 20,000 yuan.

After all, it's still rare and expensive, and so far, I've never heard of anyone owning anything like it.

In fact, Mr. Qi Gong is also quite insightful in the appraisal of calligraphy and painting, this person is really erudite, no wonder he never said that he is a calligrapher, painter or scholar, because for him, almost all occupations can only be regarded as side jobs.

Regarding the appraisal of calligraphy and painting, he once wrote in his book: "One of the most diligent and effective undertakings in my life is the appraisal of calligraphy and painting. I have summarized from practice seven taboos, or the injustices that social resistance is easy to bring, namely, first, the emperor's prestige, second, the noble, third, the long, fourth, the short, the fifth, the virtuous, sixth, the far harm, and seventh, the tolerance. In short, the first three are due to the pressure of social authority, and the last four are due to the selfishness of the appraiser. ”

These words have caused quite a stir in the field of calligraphy and painting appraisals, so that many later calligraphy and painting connoisseurs have taken these seven as their mottos.

Qi Gong had a glorious life and countless halos, but he was extremely modest and cautious, and when he was sixty-six years old, he once wrote an epitaph for himself: "Middle school student, associate professor. Bo is not refined, and he is not thorough. Although the fame is famous, it is not enough. High can't be, low can't. Paralysis to the left, faction to the right. The face is slightly round, the skin is not thick, the wife is dead, and there is no queen. The mourning is still new, and the illness is still the same. Sixty-six, not immortal. Babao Mountain, gradually getting together. Ji Pingsheng, ridiculous and ugly. The body and the name stink together. ”

This epitaph smacks of self-mockery, witty and humble.

After reading these, Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but be in awe of this master, he used to be far more interested in things than people, so his understanding of things was also much greater than people, but today he found out that things come from people, and people are actually the key.

Mr. Qigong's life made Zhang Tianyuan feel a lot of emotion, and he would definitely not be able to become such a big man in the future, but with the six-character truth, it is still possible to be a person who respects his parents and is humble and decent.

Closing the book, Zhang Tianyuan put the word into an aluminum alloy box more carefully, so that he was not afraid of rat bites, after all, there are more rats in rural areas, and it is easy to be bitten if it is placed in a wooden box.

If there is no missing page, it is enough, he can still repair it, but once the word is missing, the page is missing, then he has no way to repair it, unless he can use the word-making trick to create something exactly the same as the original, otherwise the flaw is a flaw, and it can no longer be changed.

After putting away the things, Zhang Tianyuan sat in front of the window, looking at the snow that had fallen outside, and carefully considered his life.

From now on, my life is completely different.

So how do you make good use of this hard-won six-word mantra?

Like this time, I stumbled upon the treasure, and then bought it at a low price, and then sold it at a high price, and it was not bad to be a second-class dealer in the cultural relics industry, after all, I have a six-character true trick, a unique vision, and superb knowledge.

Of course, it is also a good idea to use the word repair trick to repair all kinds of calligraphy, paintings, and antiques, and to buy things that have been damaged, come back to repair them, and then take them out to sell, which may be more profitable than the second-way dealers.

After all, once something breaks, its value shrinks dramatically.

It's just that this repair thing must be cautious and careful, and it must not be known by too many people, otherwise, let alone not being able to be peaceful, it is not good to be directly put into a sack one day, and then tied to a certain research institute for research, it will be too cost-effective.

In fact, he has many options, and it is also a good idea to find an archaeological job and use the word search and character appreciation tips to become a great archaeologist.

In the future, if the imitation formula can be used successfully, you can also make some fakes to sell, anyway, the fake market is not small, many people can't afford to buy the real thing, or because the real thing is only one or two, or a national treasure, dare not buy, then the fake has become the best thing to fill this vacancy.

The best thing is that if you can master the trick of making words, it really belongs to the act of going against the sky, and the trick of making words is not only to completely create those calligraphy, paintings, and antiques, but also to directly create genuine antiques.

It's a pity that the word-making trick is too rebellious, and the required earth qi is also very **, Zhang Tianyuan has not been able to reach that level in the game, let alone think about it in reality, it's better to be down-to-earth.

But young people, always have a lot of ideas, Zhang Tianyuan lived to be twenty-five years old, although he was also a man of the year when he was in school, but after all, he achieved nothing, and now that he gets this unexpected gain, he will inevitably have some pride.

Beauty, money, luxury cars, mansions, although in the eyes of people who play antiques, these things seem to be too cheesy, but Zhang Tianyuan is very realistic, he is first and foremost a person, it is not easy to live this life, and I don't know when this ability will disappear, if you can't make more money, then in the future, who knows what will happen to Lu Dao?
