"Is that a simplified Chinese character of yours?" Wu Chen is too lazy to raise the bar with Big Tooth, it is better to save some effort, but he does not know much calligraphy, and he can't start from the various connotations of calligraphy for a while, fortunately, there is one easiest way to convince Big Tooth, that is, from the content, "You clean your hands, come and see for yourself!" ”

Seeing that he didn't seem to be laughing, Big Tooth wiped his hands, opened the manual by himself, and read it page by page, although the handwriting was scribbled, but he could barely understand it, and the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, this is really Mr. Qingteng's manuscript!

Mr. Qingteng is Xu Wei, the characters are long, and there are many names, there must be more than a dozen! The most famous is the old man Qingteng. There are also many titles, calligraphers, painters, military strategists, and there are more than a dozen large and small. Born during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, he was called "the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty" along with Xie Jin and Yang Shen.

When Xu Wei was a teenager, he was known for his genius Chaoyi, and entered Xu's private school to study, and it is said that he was "six years old by the "University", reciting more than 1,000 words a day.

When he was ten years old, he imitated Yangxiong's "Explanation of Mockery" and wrote a "Interpretation and Destruction", "In the palm of your hand, ten thousand words can be done." "This Yangxiong is not an ordinary person, he is a lord who dares to call himself a saint! It is also a big sect in Yixue.

It's a pity that God is jealous of talent, Xu Wei became a student at the age of twenty, but then, he took the exam eight times, but he didn't succeed. "Almost the same thing happened to him, as well as the famous Tang Bohu children's shoes.

Later, Xu Wei set up a museum in the east of Shanyin City to teach apprentices, and then entered the shogunate of Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian.

In the forty-third year of Jiajing, Hu Zongxian was arrested because he was implicated in the Yan Song case and committed suicide in prison. Li Chunfang strictly investigated Hu Zongxian's case, and Xu Wei once went crazy because of this, writing "Self-Epitaph", and even committed suicide three times, "leading a giant cone to pierce the ears, several inches deep; and the kidney capsule was broken into vertebrae, and they were all immortal. Almost insane, almost insane. ”

Two years later, Xu Wei was imprisoned for seven years for killing his stepwife Zhang when he was sick. In prison, he completed the annotation of "Zhou Yi Shen Tong Deed" and figured out the art of calligraphy and painting.

In the first year of Wanli, Xu Wei was rescued from prison by the champion Zhang Yuanchen and others, and was 53 years old after being released from prison. Since then, in the second half of his life, he hated dignitaries and nobles, traveled to Jinling, Xuanliao, and Beijing, and went to Xuanhua Mansion and other places outside the Saiwai Pass, taught Li Rusong the art of war, and got to know the Mongolian leader Mrs. Alta.

In his later years, Xu Wei made a living by selling paintings, but he never painted for the bureaucrats, "There were thousands of books, and they were sold out." Chou Guan breaks the cheats, can not be easier, to borrow the manuscript to sleep", often "endure hunger and wander alone under the moon", Dumen thanks.

Among them, only when Zhang Yuanbian died, except for going to Zhang's house to mourn, he almost closed the door, and finally ended his life at the age of 73 in the situation of "a few crooked houses, a person from the south to the north". Before he died, he was accompanied by only a dog, and there was not even a mat on the bed, which was miserable.

By the time he had read the manuscript, Big Tooth was stunned. He doesn't know much about calligraphy, he just thinks that this manuscript is scribbled, and there are altered words everywhere, which should be used for daily life, and the content recorded in it is very consistent with Xu Wei's life in his later years.

In fact, Wu Chen and Daya are a little unlearned, this calligraphy has appeared in major auctions, it is one of Xu Wei's relatively intact works, but this handscroll is a diary-style draft, which should also be used by Xu Wei in his daily records in his later years.

However, although they are not very good at antiques, as former literary and artistic youths, Mr. Qingteng still knows the Tao. When I was in high school, there were a few of them who rented an old house in the county seat. Several people huddled in a side room, often having nothing to do after dinner, arguing about various historical figures.

Once arguing about the outstanding figures of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Chen admired Wang Shouren, Zhang Juzheng and others, thinking that learning and excellence were good, empty talk about misleading the country, and working hard to prosper the country; Big Tooth worships Xu Wenchang, Tang Bohu and others, and the literati are free and easy; This outlook on life can be said to be very different, and they have been arguing for half a month, although the literature available for reference back then is limited, but it is enough for them to understand.

In the middle of this, Long Ze used violence several times, hoping to use a simple and rude way to coerce them to admit that Zhu Hongwu was the most awesome guy in the entire Ming Dynasty, but there was no result, which shows how firm their position was back then! It wasn't until a girl in a white dress was found in the opposite door that the topic stopped abruptly and turned into all kinds of dirty.

"It's a pity that it's not the original manuscript of "Golden Vase Plum"!" Big Tooth suddenly said regretfully, it can be seen that this should be a diary-like note, the content is very scattered, and most of them are about the trivial things of daily life.

"Hehe, you want to!" Wu Chen also knew that this was definitely not a complete manuscript, and the content had not been officially published, but such a thing was also very precious, not much worse than the manuscript of the work.

Da Ya was a little disappointed, there have always been four mainstream theories about who Lan Ling Xiaoxiaosheng, the author of "Golden Vase Plum", has always had four mainstream theories, among which Xu Wei and Wang Shizhen have the highest voice, and Da Ya is a firm supporter of Xu Wei, so he also specially researched it when he was an undergraduate. At first, a few people didn't care, tossing blindly, you read electronic engineering, and spent all day in the library to verify the author of "Golden Plum", isn't this a nerve? Fortunately, this product always has to go crazy from time to time, and everyone has long been accustomed to it.

At the end of the semester, the digital circuits were hanging, the analog circuits were hanging, and the college physics was also hanging, but it really made the big tooth make something different. Generally, the examiners are based on ability, experience, text characteristics and content fit, etc., but this product takes a different path, thinking that "The Golden Vase Plum" was written in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and was first circulated in the form of a manuscript, and Xu Wenchang was verified from the origin to be the author.

Big Tooth was stunned for a while, and Wu Chen didn't know what he was thinking, so he heard him suddenly howl: "If this is true, it must be worth a lot of money, right?!" ”

"Holy! This is a die-hard fan! Wu Chen almost came out in a cold sweat, and scolded weakly.

"Hehe, you don't understand this, fans also have to live! Don't you see it's like this now, fan associations are looking for clubs to ask for money, and fans of talent shows are charging different degrees according to the shouting and screaming of signs! It's those gods on the Internet who can't regularly send some benefits to fans or something. Big Tooth smiled, "Besides, I worship chickens, so I don't eat eggs, right?" ”

"Okay, what a crooked reason!" Wu Chen scolded with a smile, there is no way to take this goods sincerely. He has already decided in his heart that this is Mr. Qingteng's manuscript, first, the era is echoed, the second is that he claims to be, and the third is his own logical judgment, it is unlikely that someone in the same era will have enough to write Xu Wei's diary, right? He was not an emperor.

As for the appraisal of calligraphy, he is not worried, didn't Tian Lao say that in a few days, he will take him and Kong Si to visit Liu Lao, and then bring this manuscript and let him identify it together.

In the next few days, Yang Jun was here, responsible for shopping, cooking, washing clothes or something every day, and became a nanny, Wu Chen and Daya, two lazy people, studied the manuscript every day, and every time they experienced the helplessness and vicissitudes of life, they had to sigh, looking like a young man in Beipiao's literature and art.

……

On the fourth day, the two got up and were about to continue to "discuss", when they received a call from Kong Si about the lonely life of the down-and-out old and young man in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, saying that Tian Lao asked Wu Chen if he was free, and if he was free, he might as well bring that seal to him.

Wu Chen knew that Liu Lao should have gone to Guangfu, and Mr. Tian was going to take himself to worship the mountain gate, and he was actually a little curious about the mysterious Liu Lao in his heart, what could make Tian Lao so respected, at least it should be someone in some way, although he occasionally searched it in the past few days, and there was no too famous "Liu Lao" in the circle.

After taking the seal and the handscroll, and saying goodbye to Daya, he drove to Tian Lao's Mansion by himself. Daya is going to pick up the car today, Wu Chen is afraid that as soon as his new car comes out, he will bump into something, and he will have to drive back to the 4S point directly, so that Yang Jun and others will accompany Daya, it is estimated that he can't stop Daya from driving in person, at least he can watch some on the sidelines.

When he arrived at Tian Lao's mansion, Kong Si was already there, Tian Lao was wearing a black old-fashioned Mao suit, and when he saw that Wu Chen had also arrived, he smiled and said that his old friend was free today, so let's go over and visit together.

Wu Chen originally wanted Tian Lao to identify the manuscript first, but when he saw this, he had to give up, park Gio in Tian Lao's yard, get into Tian Lao's black Audi driver's seat, and become the driver. Seeing that Kong Si was carrying some pastries in his hand, it should be a souvenir, so he remembered that he didn't bring anything to the door for the first time, and he was a little embarrassed, and secretly blamed Kong Si for not reminding.

Tian Lao heard the two of them muttering in the front seat, telling Wu Chen to drive well! As for the souvenirs, they are all Cantonese dim sum, Brother Liu is good at this, and the juniors will bring some hearts.

Kong Si took the opportunity to ask who this Liu Lao was? I heard Tian Lao mention it a few times, but he never said what he was doing, and Wu Chen was also full of doubts.

Tian Lao smiled, and said that since we are going to see each other, it doesn't hurt to talk to you first, this Brother Liu is more than ten years older than him, when he was locked up in the cowshed, Brother Liu happened to be in school, and they were all working people in those days, and there were few people who had a common hobby.

The two met by accident, and they hit it off at first sight, and often discussed various life issues together, at that time, Tian Lao didn't know that this old brother Liu was very big, and after decades of intersection, Tian Lao admired this old brother's insight and courage in all aspects.

Now he intends to promote the two juniors, he wants to take them to introduce, this old brother used to spend most of his time in Guangfu, in recent years, his wife is not in good health, so he returned to Beijing to live, this time to Guangfu has to live for a while.

Listening to Tian Lao's broken thoughts along the way, he didn't say where Liu Lao came from in the end, and after arriving at the famous mountain peak in the north of the city, he walked in along a small road, Wu Chen gradually felt familiar, and only woke up after walking for a while, isn't this the place Huang Xiaolin brought him to last time, it seems to be called "Zunlong Mansion", but now he enters from another entrance, no wonder he feels a little familiar.

Follow Tian Lao's guidance, turn around on the "country road" for a while, and come to an independent villa before, this villa is built in imitation of a courtyard, look at the scale of two or three into, a large platform at the door, surrounded by some big trees, more than a dozen cars parked under the tree, and then go out is a winding meadow, digging a few ponds on it, occasionally small bridges and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, a small world, self-contained.
