The pen walks the dragon and snake, in one go, Lao Ma has to admire, this little Wang Xing calligraphy is really not simple, looking at the four words "good as water" written in one stroke, Lao Ma and Brother De no longer doubt the origin of "family joy", but at this moment the two of them grew their mouths in surprise, and they didn't come back to their senses for half a sound.

I saw Mr. Cai say with a smug face: "Old Ma, how is it?" I'm not lying, am I? Mr. Zhang's words are indispensable, right? ”

"Cheng, you Lao Cai just has a lot of bad intentions, and he holds back the bad old benefits." The old horse said angrily.

"Brother De, you see, Lao Ma, this old boy, knows that he will cheat." Mr. Cai pointed to Lao Ma and looked at Brother De and said, Lao Ma looked depressed: "Cheng, can't you ask for it?" But I have to wait until the spring of next year, this time I went to Lijiang after participating in the folk treasure appreciation of Yangcheng with Brother De, and it is estimated that it will be late winter when I return to Yanjing, so I have to wait until the spring of the next year to ask for words. ”

"It's no problem next year, as long as you can get it." Mr. Cai said with a smile, as if he had picked up a big bargain.

At this time, Wang Dong put down the brush and said modestly: "Seniors, the younger generations are ugly. ”

"No, how can you say that you are ugly, it's just shocking, I don't know where Xiaoyou comes from? Which disciple did you teach? The old horse asked curiously.

"Don't hide it from Mr. Ma, the younger generation has always copied the calligraphy by himself and figured it out by himself, and he didn't get the guidance of a famous teacher, so I'm ashamed." Wang Dong said, in fact, he has the guidance of a famous teacher, but after all, it is a matter of the previous life, and it is not appropriate to say it. So Wang Dong gambled on this from the beginning.

"What? Xiaoyou is actually self-taught? The old horse was taken aback and couldn't believe it, and the old brother next to him was also shocked.

"Sort of, if there really is any famous teacher to point out, I usually watch some programs that discuss calligraphy." Wang Dong said very seriously.

"Oh." The old horse came back to his senses and nodded, but then raised his eyebrows and asked carefully, "I don't know if Xiaoyou has the intention of looking for a famous teacher?" ”

"Old Ma, do you want to take Xiao Wang as an apprentice?" Mr. Cai couldn't taste the meaning of Lao Ma, he was taken aback on the spot, and Brother De and Wen Hao next to him were also very surprised, but looking back, it was also Lao Ma's love for calligraphy, and it was natural for him to see a good seedling like Wang Dong and want to accept him as a disciple.

"No, what can I do?" Lao Ma sighed helplessly, and said bitterly: "In the eyes of the master, the words I write are ghost drawings, and I can see it myself, but it is still a little bit short of showing it to outsiders, let alone opening the door and accepting apprentices." ”

"Then the old horse, you mean a god horse?" Mr. Cai asked suspiciously.

"I want to introduce this little friend to the master, if I can get the master's guidance, within 20 years, this little friend's achievements will be a sensation in the entire calligraphy world." The old horse said with some embarrassment.

"What? You're going to introduce him to Mr. Zhang? Mr. Cai was taken aback, his mouth grew long, and his eyes became strange when he looked at Wang Dong.

"Well, I don't know what Wang Xiaoyou wants?" Lao Ma asked Wang Dong's opinion and asked.

"That's great, thank you Mr. Ma." Wang Dong said modestly, it was not Wang Dong's whim to promise Lao Ma, but after some deep thought, he wanted to set up the Anti-Japanese War Veterans Foundation, and it would definitely not work by his own strength alone, and he needed to make good connections, even if he couldn't become Master Zhang's apprentice, it didn't matter.

"Okay, then we'll make an appointment at the end of the year, and when Brother De and I come back from Lijiang, we will go to the capital together, okay?" The old horse asked.

"Okay, it's all up to Mr. Ma." Wang Dong said obediently.

"Haha, okay, I'll see you then." The old horse said happily. At this time, Mr. Cai seemed to remember something and said, "Xiaodong, didn't you miss a treasure?" If you go back and get it now, Brother De is the face of this treasure appreciation column. ”

"Oh? Xiaodong still plays antiques? Brother De asked in surprise.

"I know a little bit, I majored in archaeology in college, so I am very interested in antiques, and I used to be an apprentice in an antique shop, but later because of some, I switched to other industries." Wang Dong introduced himself.

"Oh, I see." Brother De answered and asked, "I don't know what object I picked up?" ”

"It is a pen wash, the style and style are very similar to the Qing Dynasty Xianfeng year, but the puzzling thing is that the following paragraph is a 'Ya' word, according to the habit of the Qing Dynasty porcelain, it should be italic Qing Dynasty Xianfeng year." Wang Dong said it eloquently.

"The word 'Ya' is signed?" Brother De's expression froze, he knew some cases of single words, including the word 'Ya', but it should not be the Qing Dynasty. Before he saw the pen wash, Brother De didn't dare to say anything, and said to Wen Hao beside him: "Wen Hao, you accompany Xiaodong back to take off the pen wash." ”

"Okay." Wen Hao answered, Wang Dong said to everyone, and walked out of the study with Wen Hao.

Out of the study, Wen Hao was not as restrained as he was just now, and praised heartily: "Brother Wang, my name is Ye Wenhao, just call Brother Ye, my brother's words are really good, and he is very general." ”

"Okay." Wang Dong said modestly.

"I don't know what kind of antiques my brother is good at?" Ye Wenhao was not interested in Wang Dong's words, but was interested in Wang Dong's antiques.

"Huh?" Wang Dong thought for a while and said: "Actually, there is nothing to be good at, I play everything, and I am not good at anything." ”

"Me too, I play everything, but I don't know anything." Ye Wenhao seemed to have found a feeling of similar smell, and sighed: "Because of this, I was not less eye-catching, and I was not less reprimanded by Uncle De." ”

"It's normal for an antique shop to be eye-catching, so don't take it too seriously." Wang Dong persuaded him.

"My brother can see it, but to be honest, the antique shop does have more eyes and fewer leaks." Ye Wenhao answered, started the car, turned the head of the car, and went downstairs to the Wangdong community under the guidance of Wang Dong.

Half an hour later, Wang Dong and Ye Wenhao returned to Mr. Cai's study, and Wang Dong handed over the pen wash with the word 'Ya' to Uncle De. Uncle De took the pen wash handed over by Wang Dong, looked at it for a while, his expression gradually became solemn, and finally he couldn't help but take out the high-powered magnifying glass he carried with him and look at it carefully.

Mr. Cai, who was next to him, saw Brother De's solemn expression, and asked in a low voice: "Brother De, what is this thing?" ”

After half a cup of tea, Uncle De took back the high-powered magnifying glass, and sighed with an incredible look: "I didn't expect it to be true, I always thought that Xianfeng Guangji's wild history was made up nonsense, but I didn't expect it to be true!" ”

"Brother De, what do you mean by that?" The old mother asked in surprise, Mr. Cai and Wen Hao were also full of suspicion, and they didn't know what they meant.

"If I hadn't looked away, this should have been an object from the Xianfeng period, and it was in the palace." Uncle De said solemnly.

"What? Brother De, you say this is an imperial weapon? Mr. Cai was taken aback and asked in great surprise.

"A reward, to be exact." Uncle De corrected.

"A reward?" Mr. Cai asked suspiciously, Lao Ma, Ye Wenhao, and Wang Dong were quietly waiting for Brother De to explain.

"Yes, it's a reward." Uncle De said eloquently: "In the history of Xianfeng Guangjiye mentioned Xianfeng four years, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is powerful, has been in Yannan Dingdu, called Tianjing, at the beginning of the year to the north, Xianfeng Emperor was very anxious, when the prime minister proposed to Emperor Xianfeng, in the name of Zhao'an to gradually disintegrate the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Xianfeng Emperor listened to the opinions. After some activities, Lin Fengxiang, an important general in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, agreed to recruit An, but asked for a princess, Emperor Xianfeng agreed to marry a county lord after careful consideration, Lin Fengxiang disagreed, saying that she must be a princess, and she needs to be related to Emperor Xianfeng, and Emperor Xianfeng had to agree to marry his sister to Lin Fengxiang to seek peace.

At that time, one of Emperor Xianfeng's concubines knew that Emperor Xianfeng was not far away to marry his sister, and said to Emperor Xianfeng that although the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had entered Tianjin, it was alone and insufficient, so it was suggested that Emperor Xianfeng send troops to conquer and would definitely win a great victory.

Emperor Xianfeng felt that what the concubine said was reasonable, but he was worried that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was definitely not really short of food and grass, and just when he was due to it, the prime minister proposed that he could use the name of giving a dowry to find out the truth, and Emperor Xianfeng agreed, so he began to prepare for the dowry. When making porcelain dowry, in order to distinguish it from the utensils used in the orthodox palace, Emperor Xianfeng followed the example of the Ming Dynasty to pay in the way of the word, and later with the help of the name of the dowry, it was really detected that the Taiping army was lone and deep, the people were sleepy and the horses were lacking, and the grain and grass were exhausted, and the Xianfeng Emperor ordered to attack.

This pen wash should be one of the dowries given to Lin Fengxiang by Emperor Xianfeng that year, but I didn't expect this wash to be preserved so well, not only escaped the war of the year, but also escaped ten years of cleaning. ”

"What's going on? There is no mention of it in the official history! Mr. Cai was taken aback, he loves collecting, so he knows a lot about history, but he didn't expect the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to have such a thing.

"Well, what was mentioned in the wild history, at first I thought it was made up by the editor, but now it seems that it is not all." Uncle De nodded.

"It's still Emperor Xianfeng's concubine who is smart, otherwise Emperor Xianfeng must have lost his wife and broken his army, and that Lin Fengxiang must have wanted to collect a large dowry in the name of marriage, recuperate, and then try to make a big career." Ye Wenhao said guessingly, and then said regretfully: "I don't know who that concubine of Emperor Xianfeng is?" It should be a heroine among women! ”

"It was the later Empress Dowager Cixi." Uncle De said seriously, these words made Ye Wenhao cough like eating a fly, how could it be the Empress Dowager Cixi who signed a number of traitorous treaties?

At this moment, Wang Dong has already determined the source of this washing, but he didn't expect that there would be such a tortuous story. After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "Uncle De, I don't know what price this wash is worth in the market?" ”
