Chapter 35: Snow Rock Inscription (II)
After listening to Dong Tianyue's explanation, everyone sighed in their hearts, it turned out that Hu Xueyan's inscription was not only a comment on "Jiangcun Fishing Map", but also a hidden sound? Is this extraneous sound Dong Tianyue's so-called "Fish, where are you going?" So what does this "fish" refer to? If "fish" refers to "the profit of the fisherman", then how to interpret the next sentence?
To tell the truth, the only person present who can really understand this inscription is the old man Qilin, who is a businessman and has a deep understanding of this set in the mall. Shopping malls are like battlefields, and intrigues and tricks are inevitable; Although Jing'er and Gui Yumeng are smart, their surnames are kind, and they still know very little about the sycophants in the shopping mall; The unicorn world seems to understand whether it understands or not; Although Old Man Huo understands the general meaning of this sentence, he hates this kind of scheming from the bottom of his bones.
Dong Tianyue's interpretation is very fresh and eye-catching. The old man Qilin also looked at him with more solemnity, it is not easy to have such knowledge at a young age, this son is by no means as simple as Wu Yubin said.
Seeing that everyone was pondering and digesting, Qilinbi stared at Dong Tianyue and said, "Xiao Dong, your interpretation is very interesting, I don't know what to interpret in the next sentence?" ”
Everyone's eyes swept to the next sentence of Hu Xueyan's inscription in the painting: "The second grade is topped, the yellow horse is added, and the Penglai Immortal Pavilion is difficult to repair." It was also written in cursive, which was difficult to recognize, and it was still a metaphorical poem, and most of the people didn't understand it, and they looked at Dong Tianyue in confusion to see how he explained it.
Dong Tianyue bent down slightly, pointed to the next sentence, and exclaimed: "What good calligraphy, chic and elegant cursive!" But there is loneliness in the chic. Wu Yubin, who was on the other side, interrupted: "Don't talk about calligraphy, you just explain what the next sentence means, and what does it mean that the upper and lower sentences are connected together?" Don't talk about anything else! Dong Tianyue didn't rush to say, but said with a smile: "Senior class leader, in your opinion, how should this poem be explained?" ”
Wu Yubin rolled his eyes and said with disdain: "Everyone is asking you, not me, don't you know?" ”
Dong Tianyue sneered: "Then I'll talk about it." Let's take a look at the previous sentence first, this sentence 'The penny is in hand, the partridge is good at swimming, and the wind and snow are not worried.' In fact, it is a conditional structure sentence, which means: I have a penny in my hand, I can control the partridges under my hand, the partridges are good swimmers, where can you run away from the fish, don't they all obediently enter my fish basket? The 'fish' here can be understood as 'fame and fortune', and the penny can be understood as 'wrist', with 'fame and fortune', there are women, and with women, are you still worried about the lack of wind and snow? ”
Speaking of this, Dong Tianyue glanced at Lou Wei'er, who was the second person standing opposite, and saw her stunned expression, and joked: "Vice Chairman Lou, I heard that you like our Wu Da squad leader's mount BMW 760 very much?" ”
Lou Weier smiled unabashedly: "Xiangche naturally has to be matched with beautiful women, I like BMW, what's wrong?" How did you get BMW? Far from it, right? ”
Wu Yubin saw Dong Tianyue mention his car, and listened with some pride, hey, does this kid actually want to praise me today?
Dong Tianyue continued: "As we all know, BMW's logo is bmwww.xstxt.orgw" What the hell does it mean? He only knows that buying a "BMW" has a lot of face in his classmates, as for why he bought it, it may be because BMW is famous enough, right?
"Don't talk to me, what do I mean? Tell you, you can't afford a BMW! Wu Yubin was stumped by the question and was a little annoyed, so he had to mock Dong Tianyue for not being able to buy a BMW to cover up his shallow knowledge.
Dong Tianyue smiled, whether he could afford a BMW or not, he didn't want to argue with others, and there was no need for that. He mentioned that BMW did not digress, but to better interpret Hu Xueyan's inscription.
"It's not, you'll understand in a moment. bmwww.xstxt.orgotor], [www.xstxt.orgwww.xstxt.orgoney], [wonman], these three words translate as: business, money, woman. Merchants first have good business, and with good business, there will be money, and with money, there will be women. So, in order to make a good omen, businessmen like to buy BMWs. Of course, some romantic men buy this car as a gift to their girlfriends and have another meaning: [be], [my], [wife], which translates into Chinese as 'to be my wife'. I give this example, in fact, I want to say that Hu Xueyan's poem can be simply understood as: control the business, control the subordinates, and win fame and fortune. With all this, there is no need to worry about the favor of beautiful women. ”
After such an analysis, everyone finally understood that "the penny is in hand, the partridge is good at swimming, and the wind and snow are not worried." The true meaning of ". Wu Yubin's face was ugly, and he really regretted that he didn't know that the meaning of the BMW car turned out to be "business, money, and women!" I feel like I've lost face, but I don't know what BMW means, it's a shame, it's not a vassal elegance, that's a fart?
Dong Tianyue was not sarcastic about Wu Yubin, and continued to everyone: "Say the second sentence again: 'The second grade is topped, the yellow horse is added, and the Penglai Immortal Pavilion is difficult to repair'. The so-called 'second-grade top, yellow horse plus body' means that Hu Xueyan, as a businessman, was given a second-grade top and was rewarded with a yellow jacket, which is rare in Chinese history. The so-called 'Penglai Immortal Pavilion' refers to the manor villa group 'Jiaolou' that he built for his twelve aunts. This sentence is writing about the coexistence of glory and downfall, and the decline of bliss.
In fact, these two sentences add up to Hu Xueyan's life, in the first half of his life, he galloped in the shopping mall, relying on the backstage of the government, step by step to the peak of his career, women, money, status, glory, followed, it can be described as infinite. But he is such a person who has gained fame and fortune and has a successful career, but he lived a very bleak life in his later years, and all the previous glory and prosperity collapsed within a few days, and his career came to an end. ”
Except for the old man Qilin, everyone doesn't quite understand why Hu Xueyan is very desolate in his later years. Hu Xueyan is such a smart person who also collapsed? Everyone looked at each other in confusion, why is this?
Dong Tianyue continued to explain.
"For a long time, Hu Xueyan has been on the rise, and he has become more and more self-serving. He felt that the 'penny' in his hand could not only control his women and subordinates, but also control high-ranking people. So his ambitions grew.
There are many reasons for Hu Xueyan's business failure, and his ambition is fundamental. After his ambitions became bigger, Hu Xueyan was anxious to expand, and made mistakes in business decisions, trying to monopolize the export of raw silk business in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, thus angering foreign merchants.
But another important reason for the failure of Hu's business was the blow of political enemies. Although Hu Xueyan was smart and had close contacts with officialdom, he eventually became a victim of the political struggle between Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang because he was ignorant of official affairs, rigid and self-serving, and did not know how to be flexible.
Hu Xueyan is a business wizard who has used others as tools all his life, and in the end he has become a tool for others to fight. This is really sad and sad!
Yes, Hu Xueyan failed in the end. After Hu Xueyan went bankrupt, he called all his aunts and wives to him, and each gave them a few hundred taels of silver, so that they could find another home, and they could be regarded as men with affection and righteousness. At the same time, he also divided the creditors into three grades and repaid them one by one.
Soon after going bankrupt, Hu Xueyan still admired this "Fishing Picture in Jiangcun", but his mood was completely different. He realized the truth of life and the truth of businessman again.
Hu Xueyan admired this painting again, and suddenly regretted it, so he wrote an inscription and stamped the seal for this "Jiangcun Fishing Map". The pen is resolute and remorseful. After Hu Xueyan finished writing, he sent the painting back to Zheng Guanzhi, with a codex to the effect that it was like this: Thank you Brother Zheng for teaching me the way of fishing, but unfortunately the foolish brother never jumped out of it and didn't know how to be flexible. Now the thing is returned to the original owner, and two lines of poetry are given to warn future generations!
After Zheng Guanzhi received this letter, he regretted what he said at the beginning. It can really be said that 'success is also consistent, and defeat is also consistent'. Soon, the news of Hu Xueyan's death spread out of the rivers and lakes.
In the end, there was a ninth aunt in addition to the main house, why did he stay with the ninth aunt? Nine with the same 'long' sound, the meaning is long and long. Relying on Hu Qingyutang's meager income, Hu Xueyan spent his old age desolately, and died in the eleventh year of Guangxu. Two years after Hu Xueyan's death, Zheng Guanzhi also died of depression. ”
After listening to Dong Tianyue's narration, the ins and outs of this painting were finally clarified. At the same time, everyone thinks that Dong Tianyue is too powerful, and it is not enough to say that he is a "ghost talent". It's just that where did Dong Tianyue know about these stories? Even Gui Yumeng, who was born in a family of painters, heard of such a story behind "Jiangcun Fishing Map" for the first time? Dong Tianyue is a kid from an ordinary background, how did he learn these secrets?
Dong Tianyue said so eloquently that everyone basically believed his words. Well, even if the story you tell is true, then who is copying this painting?
After hearing this, the Qilin father and son glanced at each other, and seemed to have a new idea in their hearts.
"Hehe, in the antique industry, don't listen to stories, but I have to say, the stories you tell are very good. Oops, I didn't expect Xiao Dong that you are young, but you are so well-read and have a strong memory, and you know Hu Xueyan so thoroughly? Okay, I'm pretty much convinced, but the person who made the painting must not be a nobody, right? Qilinbi said with a smile.
The problem of the unicorn wall is also what everyone is concerned about, yes, this painting has such a story, and the person who imitates it is probably not simple, right? Having said this, Dong Tianyue said in his heart that it was time to uncover the mystery.
