Chapter 384: Cai Lugong, Pavilion Director Wang
"Old Qian, I've been rummaging and comparing for a long time, and I found these anomalies.!"
At this time, hearing Qian Lao's inquiry, Wang Guan had reservations and said: "However, after all, it only took half a day for the things to get into my hands, and I didn't have time to study them thoroughly, and I don't know if there are other books." ”
In fact, Wang Guan has seen it with special abilities, and it is certain that it is gone, but there is no need to say it full, so as not to be cautious enough. Anyway, he also expected that even if he said no, Qian Lao and the others would definitely check it several times.
Of course, that's an afterthought.
Now Qian Lao and others are still more concerned about whether there is a connection between these letters. If so, what is the connection, or whose masterpiece is it?
In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Wang Guan, since he discovered the mystery of the Daguan Taiqing Lou Ti Linben, then he must have known something.
"Wang Guan, it's still the question just now." Qian Lao's expression was a little more serious: "Did you find the anomaly by chance, or did you find out that the bookmark was wrong for some reason?" ”
"Speaking of which, it was real luck."
Wang Guan didn't sell Guanzi anymore, and after Xiao Shan took the book back in his hand, he said with a smile: "I was looking through this book in that store at that time." But to be honest, most of the text on it is cursive, and I can only recognize a few words even after guessing, so I naturally feel very bored, so I want to throw it back to the original place. ”
"However, I threw the book on the ground with some inaccuracy."
Speaking of this, Wang Guan's tone was a little more glad: "Fortunately, it was thrown on the ground, and the book was naturally opened again, I quickly picked it up, but in the middle of the book, that is, in this goose post, I found a faint trace of the seal......
"Youyin, where?" Zhou Lao hurriedly asked, you must know that the seal of the calligraphy is often a very important clue, and it is also the basis for identifying the identity of the author, and it must not be ignored.
"At the beginning, when I saw the seal, I thought it was the knowledge of the author of the Lindaguan post, but after careful identification, I found that it was not ......" As he spoke, Wang Guan also pinched up a page.
Although it is said that the number of words in Wang Xianzhi's goose group post is not much, only about 50 words, but it takes up a lot of space, almost three pages. Now Wang Guan picked up the second page.
However, since the binding is in the form of a butterfly binding, the first and second pages are connected. The other two or three pages are introverted and unilaterally outward. The seal that Wang Guan saw was in the corner of the second page, and it was easier for ordinary people to ignore it.
At this time, Wang Guan tried his best to smooth the seams of the book, and under his prompting, everyone hurriedly approached to take a look. I saw a shallow seal in the corner of the book. The color of the seal is faint, but the handwriting is not blurry, and it is vaguely recognizable.
"Xinghua Lu Gong?" For a moment, Yu Feibai frowned, and said inexplicably: "Where is Xinghua?" Are there any celebrities with the surname Lu? Lu Su, or Lu Xun? ”
"Don't be." Tang Qinghua waved his hand and said: "Don't mislead people, Lu Su is just fine, Lu Xun is a ...... surnamed Zhou."
"Nonsense, of course I do." Yu Feibai said angrily: "Maybe, this Lu Gong is also a pen name." ”
"Go aside, don't talk nonsense." Tang Qinghua suddenly couldn't laugh or cry.
"Not necessarily ......"
At the same time, Qian Lao said thoughtfully: "Lu Gong is not a pen name, but it may also be a title." ”
"Blocked?" Wang Guan was stunned, and suddenly reacted: "Lu Guogong? ”
"Although there are not many Lu Guogongs in history, there are also a lot."
Zhou Lao groaned: "For example, Yan Zhenqing in the Tang Dynasty was crowned the Duke of Lu County, and he can also be called the Duke of Lu. In addition, Prime Minister Wei Wen once conferred the title of Duke of Lu, and Kong Wei in the late Tang Dynasty was also the Duke of Lu......"
"By the way, it's this Yan Lugong."
Hearing this, Yu Feibai was pleasantly surprised: "Could it be that this is Yan Zhenqing's handiwork?" ”
"Feibai, you're thinking too much." Wang Guan reluctantly reminded: "Don't forget, Yan Zhenqing is a person from the Middle and Tang Dynasty, and Chengxintang paper was invented in the fifth generation." The most important thing is, where did the Daguan Taiqing Mansion post come from in the Tang Dynasty? ”
"That's right!" Yu Feibai patted his head and came to his senses in time: "In other words, this Lu Guogong should be a person five generations later." No, it should be said that it was from the Song Dynasty. ”
"Cao Bin, a famous general in the early Song Dynasty, was once named the Duke of Lu, but this person is a military general and is not famous for calligraphy. In addition, he has no connection with Xinghua, and when he died, Daguan Post had not yet appeared. Qian Lao lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "Yi Zhi, I suddenly thought of a person who was not only born in Xinghua, but also gave him the title of Duke of Lu ......."
"I thought about it too." At this time, Zhou Lao was a little excited, and he also hesitated a little: "Is it him?" If it's him, it's quite possible. After all, he changed to Erwang calligraphy in his later years, and his calligraphy style is charming, and the characters are heroic and strong, which is quite the style of Erwang. Of course, the most important thing is that he has the timing, the motivation, the innate condition......"
"Old Zhou, who are you talking about?" Yu Feibai was anxious and hurriedly asked.
"You know this man."
Zhou Lao said with a smile: "A very controversial person, some people say that he is a powerful minister and traitor who brings disaster to the country and the people, and some people say that he is a loyal minister and good minister who trembles like walking on ice and specializes in cleaning up the mess for the emperor." Anyway, this person was ridiculed politically, but his achievements in calligraphy were very extraordinary, which can be called a must. However, because of the large number of people who scolded him, everyone was reluctant to agree with his outstanding achievements in the art of calligraphy......"
When Zhou Lao was narrating, Wang Guan and the others' brains were running rapidly, constantly collecting relevant information, collecting historical figures related to them, and finally locking a person.
"Cai Jing!"
The first to react was Xiao Shan, who was very surprised, a little relieved, and a little uncertain: "Old Zhou, are you talking about Cai Jing, the minister of power during the Song Huizong period?" He was named the Duke of Lu in the second year of Daguan, and once presided over the copying and engraving of the Daguan post, and even was ordered to write the title of the post. ”
"That's right, I'm talking about Cai Jing." Zhou Lao said with a smile: "Cai Jing is a Xinghua immortal tourist, and we don't study political issues, only his calligraphy." According to historical records, he first learned calligraphy from his cousin Cai Xiang, later learned Ouyang Xun, and finally learned Erwang calligraphy. It can be said that it absorbs the strengths of all families and is self-contained. ”
"Now when we talk about the four great calligraphers of the Song Dynasty, Su Huangmi Cai, Su Huangmi has no arguments, and when it comes to Cai, there are generally two points of view. One refers to Cai Xiang, and the other refers to Cai Jing. ”
Zhou Lao smiled and said: "In ancient times, there were more people who thought that this Cai was Cai Xiang, but in modern times, it is more likely that it is Cai Jing." Of course, we can also ignore this ranking, anyway, the controversy shows that Cai Jing's calligraphy is outstanding, and it was the best at that time. In the legend, even the arrogant Mi Fu sighed that he was not as good as Cai Jing. ”
Although this is just a legend and cannot be taken seriously, it can also show from the side that some people respect Cai Jing's calligraphy. Even if Cai Jing is morally deficient, it cannot erase his contribution to calligraphy. ”
Zhou Lao talked eloquently, and it seemed that he had determined that a few copybooks were Cai Jing's works.
"Yi Zhi, are you sure?" At this time, Qian Lao groaned: "After all, just relying on a seal is not ironclad evidence, and more evidence is needed." ”
"What evidence is needed?"
At this moment, an unfamiliar voice came from the side. Wang Guan hurriedly looked over and saw a sturdy old man about sixty or seventy years old, carefully holding a long square box and walking over.
"Brother Wang, you're finally here. is worthy of being a leader, and he likes to put on a shelf, and he is late. Zhou Lao chuckled, and his tone was mostly ridiculous, not accusatory.
"Brother Zhou, you are pointing at the deer as a horse in front of you, framing you." The old man said helplessly: "For this thing, I don't know how much it took to take it out." If you can't get it back later, it is estimated that you will be criticized by everyone. ”
Knowing the man's careful thoughts, Zhou Lao smiled and stopped talking.
At the same time, Qian Lao stood up, and while going over to greet the man, he introduced Wang Guan and the others: "This is the director of the Forbidden City......
Of course, Wang Guan also knows that the current director of the Forbidden City is not surnamed Wang, so this Director Wang should be the deputy. But they didn't take it lightly. After all, due to the special national conditions, the director of the Palace Museum is an administrative profession and a real leader, so the professional level is somewhat uncertain.
On the contrary, the deputy curator and the like, especially the deputy curator who was warmly welcomed by Qian Lao and Zhou Lao, Wang Guan and the others naturally did not doubt his level. It is even certain that he is another master-level figure.
"Yu Feibai, Tang Qinghua, Xiao Shan......"
At the same time, after Qian Lao named a few people, he focused on the introduction: "Brother Wang, this is the owner of the treasure, and your own family is the king." ”
In an instant, Director Wang's smile became brighter, and after putting down the box, he took the initiative to shake hands with Wang Guan and said enthusiastically: "Xiaoyou, speaking of which, we are a family, and we will be closer in the future." ”
"Uh......" Wang Guan replied vaguely, not feeling flattered at all, but his heart was full of vigilance. Nothing to do, you need to be careful.
After some greetings, Curator Wang sat down, and then saw that the table was full of books, and said with some curiosity: "Brother Qian, these are ......?"
"Nothing, nothing."
Without waiting for Qian Lao to respond, Zhou Lao hugged the book with five suspected copies of Cai Jing's copybook in front of him, and then covered it up: "It's something irrelevant, you definitely don't be interested." ”
There is a saying called wanting to cover up, which refers to Zhou Lao's current behavior.
"What kind of treasure is it, let me open my eyes too."
Originally, Director Wang really didn't have any interest, just casually mentioned it, but now he is a little more suspicious. However, he also knew that if he asked again, Zhou Lao would definitely not say it, so he simply reached out and pulled a copy over.
