PS: Today's second update, ask for more support for monthly passes.

At this time, Han Lang's mind was full of thoughts, but on the surface, he was silent, repeating what Wang Guan had just said, and after greeting Tao Lao, he also deliberately ignored Tao Lao's indifferent attitude and sat down next to Wang Guan.

"Cheeky." Qiao Yu muttered in a low voice, her beautiful eyes moved slightly, and she suddenly stood up and said, "Wang Guan, don't you know how to appreciate calligraphy and painting, come and sit here with me and have a good exchange with my teacher." ”

While speaking, Qiao Yu gave up his place and squeezed on a sofa with Baye next to him.

"Young people also have research on calligraphy and painting?" Tao Lao was really a little more interested.

"I don't dare to say that there is research, I can only say that I understand it slightly."

Wang Guan said with a smile: "After all, ancient calligraphy and painting are broad and profound, and ordinary people may not dare to say that they are all thoroughly studied, even if they are poor. It's good to be able to specialize in one of the subjects and have a general understanding of the others. ”

"Yes, that's true."

Without waiting for Tao Lao to speak, Qiao Yu preemptively said: "For example, teacher, don't think I'm touting, the teacher is really powerful." The category that he is best at is murals, which claim to be the second in China, and no one dares to grab the first. ”

"Murals?" Wang Guan was stunned, this category is indeed relatively unpopular.

"You have to figure it out, this mural is the kind of mural of ancient times, not the modern wall graffiti." Qiao Yu said proudly: "Do you know the Tianlong Mountain Grottoes?" The murals in it are all painted and restored by my teacher......"

"I know the mural." Wang Guan smiled and said: "The painters of the Tang Dynasty or before the Tang Dynasty, Wu Daozi, Zhang Sengqiu, and Gu Kaizhi, are all famous mural masters, but I didn't expect that Tao Lao was also a master in this area. ”

"I don't dare to compare with a few sages." Tao Lao was humble at first, and then said with a smile: "In the era of the decline of murals, even if you are the first in the world, there is nothing to be proud of. ”

This sounds modest, but how does it feel wrong? Wang Guan smiled and decided not to talk about it.

That's when it happened. Han Lang took the opportunity to say: "I went to the Tianlong Mountain Grottoes a few days ago, and the figures in those murals are vivid, beautiful, and the colors are very beautiful. At that time, I was still wondering, how more than a thousand years have passed, how the portrait has been preserved so well, it turned out to be the credit of Tao Lao. ”

Although he knew that this was a sycophant, Tao Lao was also useful when he heard it, and said with a light smile: "Not only me, but also other colleagues." Thanks to everyone. ”

Hearing this, Qiao Yu didn't want to say anything more, but she would definitely not miss any opportunity to hit Han Lang, and suddenly saw Wang Guan holding two books in her hands, and without looking closely, she smiled and said, "Wang Guan, you are too polite." It's good to be a visitor, so why buy a gift to ......"

This look, this tone, as if she was the master here. Of course. Qiao Yu's words were intended to highlight Wang Guanzhi's knowledge, unlike someone who came to visit him empty-handed.

However, Wang Guan was stunned for a moment, and was about to explain two sentences. didn't think that Qiao Yu was anxious, so he directly reached over and pulled the two books over, and then handed them to Tao Lao.

Seeing this, Wang Guan immediately smiled bitterly.

Meantime. Han Lang's expression didn't look abnormal, but there was a little smile in his eyes, obviously for Wang Guan's fate of "lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot". There is still a bit of schadenfreude.

"Huh?"

At the same time, Tao Lao also saw the title of the book, and was naturally a little stunned. But he didn't say anything, his fingers casually swept over the cover, and then his eyes gathered, and when he looked at it again, his face showed a look of surprise and surprise.

In an instant, Tao Lao hurriedly opened the pages of the book, found one of the pages, and after looking down for a while, the smile on his face became even stronger, and he couldn't help but look up happily and said, "Young man, you really have a heart, and you actually gave me such a generous gift." ”

"Yes, yes, you just like it." Wang Guan smiled helplessly, he originally planned to collect the good things himself, but he didn't expect them to be snatched away before he could cover the heat.

"Generous gifts?" Qiao Yu didn't read the two books carefully just now, so he directly handed them over to Tao Lao, so now he was also a little curious, so he took advantage of the situation and looked at it. At first glance, Qiao Yu couldn't help but sigh in surprise: "Ah, how is this book ......?"

"What's wrong with this book?" Tao Lao smiled and said: "How good this book is, even if you have money, you can't buy many sets of this version." ”

"What book?" Bayeux was also curious.

"Xiao Ye, don't look at it......" Qiao Yu was about to stop it, but unfortunately Bai Ye had already seen it, and a flush suddenly flashed across his pretty face, and he glanced at Wang Guan with disgust, blaming him for how he bought such a gift.

God is pitiful, Wang Guan also feels very aggrieved, he didn't want to give this kind of gift in the first place, how can he blame himself.

"Xiaoyu, you guys are prejudice."

At the same time, Tao Lao shook his head and said: "Not to mention that this book is an abridged version, more importantly, after so many years, the research on this book is still the same, it can be seen that a strange book is a strange book, and it naturally has a reason for its existence." If you dig deeper, you'll see that this book isn't just a banned book. ”

Qiao Yu was silent, but everyone could see the disapproval on his face clearly. At the right time, Tao Lao pointed at Wang Guan and said with a smile: "Don't believe it, ask him why he wants to buy this set of books." ”

Not wanting to enjoy Qiao Yu's contemptuous eyes, Wang Guan hurriedly explained: "I bought this book mainly because of the illustrations and drawings in the book, which are from the hands of famous artists, and they are very valuable. ”

"Illustrations?"

This answer really surprised Bai Ye, Qiao Yu, and Han Lang.

"Hehe, the young man really understands." Tao Lao was very happy and said with a smile: "Don't underestimate these illustrations, you must know that these paintings are the handiwork of famous artists, and the price in the market is not low." ”

"How high is not low?" Qiao Yu asked curiously.

"It's hard to say." Tao Lao smiled: "If it were me, I would be willing to pay forty or fifty thousand yuan to buy this set of books." ”

"Forty or fifty thousand!" Qiao Yu's eyes widened: "So much money to buy these two broken old books? Not only Qiao Yu, but Han Lang was also very surprised, after all, he knew how much money Wang Guan spent to buy the two books.

"You don't understand everything." Tao Lao shook his head and said: "Old books are worth this price, and new books are worth dozens or hundreds of yuan at most." ”

"And even if it's a freshly printed book, even if it's a rusty version, with illustrations on every page, it's not very valuable. After all, the drawings were reproduced mechanically, not like the previous plates. Especially after the older generation of painting and carving masters withdrew from the rivers and lakes, there are no famous artists in this industry, and it is natural that the painting and engraving works of famous artists in the last century are more and more precious. ”

Tao Lao said happily: "For me, being able to buy this set of books for forty or fifty thousand yuan can be regarded as a big bargain, so I want to thank the young man for giving me a generous gift, which makes me a little embarrassed......

"It's okay, he is rich, and he is also a big tyrant, so he doesn't care about the thirty or fifty thousand." Qiao Yu smiled and said, "That's right, Xiao Ye." ”

Baye smiled lightly, evaded the question, just glanced at Wang Guan, and felt a little curious: "Before you came, you shouldn't have brought these two books, you bought them just now, right?" ”

"Yes, isn't there a used book stall in the nearby square?" Wang nodded and said, "I found it at the bookstall and it didn't cost much." ”

"Oh?"

Tao Lao was a little surprised: "I also go to the used book stall over there occasionally, how come I haven't encountered such a good book." ”

"It should be a new stock." Wang Guan said with a smile: "It seems that my luck is better, and the stall owner met me when he came back from the purchase." ”

"How much did it cost?" Qiao Yu asked curiously.

"Not much." Wang Guan chuckled and did not answer.

"Not much, not much." Qiao Yu has the meaning of breaking the casserole and asking to the end.

"Eighty-five!"

At the right time, Han Lang said next to him: "The two books are a total of eighty-five yuan. It's not that he wants to highlight Wang Guan, it's mainly that he will be forgotten by everyone if he doesn't speak.

"What, so cheap?" Qiao Yu was taken aback, turned around and said, "Teacher, are you mistaken, you can see tens of thousands of yuan for a book that is only a few dozen yuan." If you meet it, it won't kill you. ”

"You, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand, this is called picking up leaks."

Tao Lao's eyes were full of approval: "There are many good things in the used book stall, and I have also bought a few of them." It mainly depends on the individual's eyesight, and only with this ability can you find good things. The young man's eyes are like torches, and his luck is good, so it is a matter of course to choose a big bargain. ”

"It's like the cursive thousand-character script that the teacher bought a few years ago?" Qiao Yu smiled and said, knowing very well what Tao Lao was most proud of.

"Haha, almost." Tao Lao was really happy, and his eyes were full of smiles that could not be hidden.

"Teacher, your scroll should still be there." At this moment, Qiao Yu finally saw the dagger, and said with a smile: "Take it out and let them see it and appreciate it." ”

Obviously, they are not only Wang Guan, but naturally also Han Lang. In addition, for Qiao Yu's "harboring evil intentions", Han Lang was deeply helpless in addition to smiling bitterly.

At the same time, as a teacher, Tao Lao also prefers Qiao Yu, a disciple with a straightforward personality, since she is in need, Tao Lao is naturally helping, and immediately got up happily and walked into the room, taking out his treasured cursive thousand-character text scroll.

After that, Tao Lao untied the scroll and carefully spread it on the clean table, and then beckoned: "Come, you can take a look." ”

"Teacher, I've seen it, Xiao Ye doesn't know calligraphy, you just let the two of them read it." Qiao Yu waved his slender hand, and decisively held Baye Ye with a smile and planned to watch the excitement.

Unlike Han Lang's hesitation, Wang Guan was overjoyed when he saw the hunt, and hurriedly walked to the table to watch.

Thousand-character text, that was the period of Emperor Wu of Liang in the Southern Dynasty, Zhou Xingsi, a member of the Waiwai Scattered Cavalry Lang, was ordered by the emperor to select a thousand characters from Wang Xizhi's calligraphy and compile them into a document overnight. There is no repetition in the 1,000 words of the text, which can be called a classic. Therefore, for more than 1,000 years after the formation of the thousand-character text, it is not only an enlightenment reading for children, but also a splendid chapter for historical calligraphy masters to practice their pens.

However, when it comes to cursive thousand-character writing, the most famous of them are the true grass thousand-character script of the monk Zhiyong of the seventh grandson of Wang Xizhi during the Chen Sui period, and the cursive thousand-character script of Zhao Ji of Huizong of the Song Dynasty......
