The boat sailed to the Taiping Mansion in Nanzhili, and Wang Zhizheng proposed to stay on the shore for one night, and then set off on this day. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
As a northerner, Wang Zhizheng doesn't like waterways very much, and he already has some boats, and he has lost his appetite and vomited when he takes a boat for days, and he wants to take a break on the shore to trim himself.
got off the boat, it was noon, docked the boat, Wang Zhizheng asked Zhou Cheng to take the silver to find a good hotel nearby, place the women and children, and then take Zhang Pu, Zhang Cai, and Huang Zongxi to play in the county.
Most of the counties along the Yangtze River are relatively prosperous, the north has been in drought for many years, but the south has no impact, Wang Zhizheng is hanging around the market with his hands behind his back, looking at the merchants and vendors selling along the street, only feeling like a world away.
The Hebei region is full of mourning, but the south of the Yangtze River is still prosperous like a dream, and Wang Zhizheng feels more and more that if the south cannot provide financial support to the state, the war in the north can only intensify.
He walked around the street, looked at the bustling crowd, and said to Zhang Pu beside him: "Brother Zhang Pu, the north is full of sorrow, and the south of the Yangtze River is indeed prosperous like a dream. ”
Zhang Pu also sighed and said: "Yes, every time I go back to Jiangnan in Beijing, I feel like a world away!" ”
Walking into an antique store, Wang Zhizheng smiled and said: "I can't imagine that there are antique shops in such a small county, so follow me into to see if I can find a genuine product." ”
Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai are both masters who love antique calligraphy and painting, and followed Wang Zhizheng into the antique shop.
The shopkeeper saw several young men dressed in silk and satin, and knew that he had met a buyer, so he hurried to welcome him in.
Wang Zhizheng said with a smile: "You are such a small county, and there is also a market for this antique painting?" ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "Although we are a small county, but our Wuhu County is the only way to enter Nanjing, and all waterways must stop at us, so we receive all kinds of dignitaries and nobles from the north and south of the river, so don't underestimate our small county!" ”
Wang Zhizheng nodded: "Also, I'm a newcomer, and I'm not familiar with geography." Introduce some of the best paintings in your shop? ”
The shopkeeper said confidently: "If you want to say that the paintings of the Song and Yuan dynasties, the small shop has no collection, but the small shop of contemporary famous paintings is fortunate to get a few pairs, and a few of them will come and see with me!" ”
Zhang Pu smiled and asked, "Hmm?" Contemporary masters, I wonder which painting you have here? ”
The shopkeeper whispered mysteriously: "Dong Qichang's "Eight Scenes of Autumn Xing"! ”
Zhang Pu waved his hand: "It must be a fake, "Eight Scenes of Qiuxing" is a realistic portrayal of Mr. Dong Qichang's boating in Wumen and Jiangkou, and the value of this picture is at least more than 5,000 taels!" ”
Wang Zhizheng smiled and waved his hand: "It's eight thousand taels!" ”
The shopkeeper smiled and nodded at Zhang Pu: "This gentleman, you two are experts, but it's a pity that your bids are too low, so I still don't come out!" ”
Wang Zhizheng hurriedly laughed and said, "Take it out!" I have seen this "Eight Scenes of Autumn Xing" on Huang Liji's Huangge Old Mansion, how can it be in the antique shop in Wuhu, I will identify it for you! ”
The shopkeeper nodded and said: "Master, you are not bad, since you have seen it in the former cabinet chief assistant Huang Liji's house, presumably you are also a high-ranking official from Beijing, this year Huang Liji was imprisoned by the Long Live Lord, and then degraded, the father and son were copied from the Mo family property, and then this picture fell to the royal treasury, and then the royal auction, Jiangnan has a large family Yuhang Qian, after buying it, from the Beijing division to the south, on the way to Wuhu was bandits, people died, the painting was discarded in two mouths, and then someone picked it up and I bought it for five hundred taels! ”
The shopkeeper's voice and color were foaming at the mouth, but Wang Zhizheng was skeptical: "What you said is too suspicious, since it was picked up, why did you just pick it up?" ”
The shopkeeper patted his chest: "In this Wuhu County, who knows more about painting than me?" Of course, the person who picked it up came to me for the first time and changed it for Tongdian! ”
Wang Zhizheng said with a smile: "Having said so much, you are still unwilling to take it out for us to taste and taste!" ”
Zhang Pu also smiled: "Yes, don't you take it out and let us taste it and know the truth and falsehood?" Let me tell you, I know Mr. Dong Qichang, not only his paintings, but also his casual words, I can also firm the authenticity! ”
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "But a few of them don't look like they brought copper dian!" ”
Wang Zhizheng sneered: "Tong Tian?! As he spoke, he took out the silver ticket from his arms and threw it on the table: "Is it enough?!" ”
The shopkeeper's eyes immediately straightened when he saw the silver ticket, and he hurriedly picked it up and carefully identified: "Five thousand taels!" Enough, enough! Come with me! ”
The shopkeeper handed back the silver ticket to Wang Zhizheng, and then hurriedly bowed down and led a few of them into the inner room.
The interior decoration is not luxurious, but it is indeed very charming, and the placement is neat.
The shopkeeper took out the key and unscrewed a bookcase, carefully took out a scroll wrapped in bright yellow satin, and then placed it on the shore of the table and slowly unfolded it.
As soon as it was unfolded, Zhang Pu's eyes widened and he stared carefully, rubbing his hands carefully as he looked.
The shopkeeper hurriedly stopped: "Master, you can't use your hands, there is sweat on your hands!" ”
Zhang Pu let go of his hand and stared at it, but Wang Zhizheng didn't identify it carefully, he was also a layman for calligraphy and painting, but he saw the small seal with Huang Liji's private seal: "Master of South Park".
Zhang Pu raised his head and said to Wang Zhizheng incredulously: "Master, it's actually genuine!" ”
Wang Zhizheng also smiled slightly: "I know, I have seen it." ”
As he spoke, he smiled and asked the shopkeeper, "You can bid!" ”
The shopkeeper said with a smile: "Several of them are generous masters, and I won't rub my tongue with you, five thousand taels!" ”
Wang Zhizheng laughed: "You old man, if you see that I have five thousand taels of silver tickets, you will bid five thousand taels, if I throw you one thousand taels of silver tickets, will I sell them for one thousand taels!" ”
The shopkeeper shook his head: "Master, you have also tasted Dong Qichang's genuine product, and you also said that the market value is eight thousand taels, let me tell you, you bought five thousand taels, and you made a net profit of three thousand taels!" ”
Wang Zhizheng threw the silver ticket on the table with a smile, and then said to Zhang Pu: "I've sent you!" ”
Zhang Pu said with a smile: "Brother, you're not joking, are you?" ”
Wang Zhizheng smiled and copied it up: "You don't want to put it?" ”
Then he handed it to Huang Zongxi behind him: "Taichong, you put it away!" ”
Huang Zongxi caught it with a smile, and Zhang Pu hurriedly stopped Huang Zongxi: "Hey, hey, brother, how could I not want it, you don't like this, Taichong is not good for this, give it to me!" ”
Wang Zhizheng laughed, then turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Let me tell you, since you picked it up by someone else, it may not be the robber's stolen goods, and if you don't make a move, you may even get into trouble!" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded yes, and then asked without asking: "Where are the masters?" ”
Zhang Pu said casually: "Jiangkou Yuelai Inn!" ”
"Yuelai Inn?" The shopkeeper seemed taken aback.
Wang Zhizheng noticed that his expression was unnatural, and then asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "No, no, no, nothing, nothing, please go slowly!" ”
