Chapter 041 [Year Market]
"Wen Zhengming? Is it Wen Zhengming, one of the four great talents in Jiangnan? ”
Hearing this name, Qin Xuedong was stunned, with an incredible expression on his face. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Because of Zhou Xingxing's well-known movie "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", Qin Xuedong was deeply impressed by the four great talents in Jiangnan, and this Wen Zhengming is one of the four great talents in Jiangnan, the one who is as famous as Tang Bohu.
It's just that he never dreamed that one day he would see Wen Zhengming's true works.
"That's right, it's Wen Zhengming, the one of the four great talents in Jiangnan. Historically, Wen Zhengming's attainments in calligraphy and painting are extremely high and very comprehensive, and his poems, essays, calligraphy, and paintings are all refined, and he is known as the Four Uniques. ”
Wen Zhengming was born in the sixth year of Chenghua Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty, and was born into a family of eunuchs, and his father served as WZ Yongjiazhi County. His artistic attainments are extremely high, since he was a child, he studied scriptures and poems, Bai Juyi, Su Shi, Wen was employed by Wu Kuan, Li Yingzhen, and Shen Zhou learned to paint, in today's words, he is a prodigy.
Although he enjoyed his talent and fame at a young age, Wen Zhengming's imperial examination road was very unsmooth, and it was not until he was 54 years old that he was recommended by Li Chongsi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to enter Beijing as a tribute student, and was appointed as the Hanlin Academy after the examination of the Ministry of Officials. However, due to his lack of power and being ostracized by his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, he resigned and returned to his hometown soon after taking office.
Qin Fan doesn't know much about Wen Zhengming's calligraphy and painting, but with his reputation and artistic attainments in the history of ancient calligraphy and painting, the "Cold Food Post" he copied should have a lot of collection value.
As far as Qin Fan knows, several of Wen Zhengming's famous calligraphy works are kept in museums, and it is difficult to see his authentic works in the calligraphy and painting market, most of which are fakes, and the authentic works can be said to be hard to find.
"Xiaofan, from the perspective of calligraphy alone, this pair of cold food stickers is definitely from the hands of a famous artist, but I don't know whether it is Wen Zhengming's work or not. I heard from several elders of the Calligraphy Association that there are a lot of fake paintings and calligraphy that are deliberately worn out on the market, which has harmed many people who like to collect calligraphy and paintings. ”
Qin Xuedong said worriedly, he also hated those scammers who deliberately cheated and deceived people in the calligraphy and painting market.
"Don't worry, in two days, I'm going to take this pair of calligraphy to show Old Man Meng, and with his eyesight and knowledge, he will definitely be able to identify whether this calligraphy is the authentic handwriting of Wen Zhengming."
In fact, Qin Fan had already observed this "Cold Food Post" with his treasure pupils, and he was ninety percent sure that this was Wen Zhengming's true handiwork, but it was inconvenient for him to tell Qin Xuedong in detail for the reason.
Hearing this, Qin Xuedong's eyes lit up, and he instructed, "Stinky boy, have you prepared any gifts?" ”
"Gifts? What a gift. Qin Fan was confused, not understanding what his father was talking about.
"Hey, I usually see that you are quite clever, but why is your brain not good when it is critical." Qin Xuedong said unhappily, "Old Man Meng is your elder, is it the first time to visit the Meng family, do you go empty-handed?" Don't bring any gifts with you. Also, remember to prepare one for Xiaowei as well, girls love surprises. ”
"Dad, why are you talking and coming back again." Qin Fan couldn't cry or laugh, "The Meng family is a big family at first glance, how can I climb high." ”
"What's wrong with the big families, don't young people nowadays talk about free love, how can you still have this kind of feudal thinking that is right for everyone, you are really living more and more."
Qin Xuedong is worthy of being a teacher, and ten Qin Fan are not his opponents.
It didn't take long for Qin Fan to be defeated, and he was dragged by Qin Xuedong to give a vivid ideological and political lesson.
……
The end of the year is approaching, and the smell of the New Year in the air is getting heavier and heavier, and the smell of festivity is everywhere.
Early in the morning, Jiang Yulin put on a festive little padded jacket for Yaya, combed her horn braids, and dressed up beautifully and prepared to go out to catch up with the New Year's market. And Qin Xuedong and Qin Fan, father and son, played the role of a procurement army and followed the purchase of New Year's goods.
Every year, the New Year's goods in the streets and alleys are piled up, and the New Year's goods market is bustling early in the morning, crowded with the people who purchase New Year's goods, which is very lively.
Seeing the crowds surging in the New Year's market, Qin Fan couldn't help but feel a little emotional, although most people in this era were very poor, the atmosphere of the New Year was extremely lively. Compared with the era of abundant consumption more than ten years later, the taste of the New Year is much blander, and there is no atmosphere for the New Year.
Jiang Yulin hugged Yaya while walking around, as long as Yaya liked something, she bought it and stuffed it into her hand, and after a trip, Yaya's arms were stuffed with all kinds of snacks, candy and children's toys, and a pink face smiled like a flower.
Qin Fan walked comfortably in the crowded New Year's goods market, feeling the taste of the world, and Qin Xuedong had already bought a bunch of smoked chicken, duck, pastries, nuts, candied red dates and other New Year's goods at this time.
In previous years, when the Qin family's economy was in a recession, Qin Xuedong was reluctant to buy so many things, usually buying a few chickens and ducks and some melon seeds and nuts.
And this year, the Qin family's economic situation has improved a lot, not only paying off their debts but even buying a shop in the provincial capital, which was unimaginable before. So, as soon as Qin Xuedong and Jiang Yulin arrived at the New Year's market, they entered a state of buying and buying, and bought all the novelty New Year's goods that they wanted to buy but were reluctant to buy in previous years, such as abalone and sea cucumber, venison frozen fish, cookies, and chocolates.
In addition to New Year's goods, Qin Fan also noticed that many old farmers from the countryside came to catch up with the New Year's market, setting up stalls to sell fresh vegetables and fruits grown by themselves or live chickens and ducks.
At this time, Qin Fan suddenly heard a dog barking in the noisy noise.
When I got closer, it turned out to be an uncle from the countryside who was selling puppies.
Qin Fan saw more than a dozen puppies that had just been born for a few months in a small cage. These little milk dogs are very energetic, very cute and affectionate. As soon as a child who likes puppies comes over, these little milk dogs will whine, happily wagging their tails out of the cage and sticking their tongues out of the cage to lick the child's palms.
The puppy seller is an honest and honest uncle, and these small milk dogs in the cage are all country dogs, whose scientific name is the Chinese pastoral dog, so they are sold very cheaply, and they look like dozens of dollars each.
"Uncle, did you raise these puppies yourself? How to sell it. ”
Qin Fan leaned up and looked at the little milk dogs in the cage, although they were Chinese pastoral dogs, these puppies were in good condition, in good spirits, and very likable.
Seeing someone approaching, the puppies in the cage scrambled to wagging their tails and showing favor to Qin Fan.
"It's all home-raised, and I brought it from the countryside for more than ten miles. Young man, don't look at these dogs, they are good at guarding the house, no worse than those mastiffs. If you want it, count it as 20 yuan cheaper. ”
The uncle smiled honestly, and the people who came to him to buy local dogs were generally bought and kept at the door of the house or in the factory to take care of the home. Few are bought as pet dogs, and now people in the city are popular to raise poodles, Scottish shepherds or small terriers and other excellent breeds of dogs, and do not like Chinese pastoral dogs.
Qin Fan used to have pets, but unlike some rich people who have pet dogs, he is very obsessed with whether the bloodline of the pet dog is pure.
For Qin Fan, pets are like his own family, as long as he pours his feelings, he doesn't have to care what breed the pet is, and the bloodline is pure or not.
"Whew~"
At this time, Qin Fan suddenly noticed that there was a yellow-haired puppy in the cage who looked a little thinner than the other puppies, as if he was sick, lying listlessly.
"Uncle, is this puppy sick?" Qin Fan curiously pointed to the thin yellow-haired puppy and said.
The uncle who sold the puppy glanced at the yellow-haired puppy, "This puppy was born with a little problem, I thought it was going to die, but I didn't expect this puppy to survive." ”
"But as you can see, this puppy is much thinner than the average dog, and he doesn't have much energy. I'm afraid that the lifespan is much shorter than other dogs, and no one will buy such a sick puppy to come to the yard. ”
This uncle was honest and told Qin Fan about the puppy's condition, unlike some unscrupulous pet stores that deliberately concealed the puppy's illness and sold the puppy with dog plague to customers. As a result, after the dog buyer raised it unknowingly for a few months, the puppy suddenly fell ill and died, and he had to be sad for a while.
Qin Fan nodded, and when he noticed the eyes of the yellow-haired puppy, he was suddenly shocked.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but he seems to see a trace of stubbornness and unyielding in the eyes of this little puppy.
"How can the puppy's eyes be so expressive, I must have seen it wrong." Qin Fan shook his head self-deprecatingly, and just took a few steps before he turned back.
"Uncle, I want this puppy, how much does it cost?"
The uncle who sold dogs saw Qin Fan pointing to the sick puppy, and his face couldn't help but show surprise, "Young man, do you really want to buy this puppy?" ”
"Well, raising a dog is about an eye, I think this puppy is quite related to me, so I want to take it home to raise it."
"Hehe, this is also true, everything has to pay attention to fate. In that case, I won't take any money from you for this pup, so you can take it away. But this pup's life is not very good, you need to take care of it. ”
Anyway, this sick puppy can't be sold, and the uncle is embarrassed to sell it to Qin Fan at the price of an ordinary puppy, so he simply gives it to him.
However, Qin Fan refused, so he stuffed twenty yuan in his uncle's hand and bought the sick yellow-haired puppy.
