Chapter 5: Thin Gold Body
There is also Tang Lie, who is known as the thousand-faced Yama, has a lot of things, he can become a rich businessman even if he makes up some calligraphy and paintings to sell, otherwise what does he use to hide his true identity when he disguises? He's the kind of person who can quickly get into the role of anyone, even if it's a great calligrapher or a famous painter, so he's proficient in a lot of things.
These are just Tang Lie's side hustles, his main profession in the previous life was killers, and his main job was to kill people, or the kind of high-priced tèbié, and killers were very promising industries in that era, so Tang Lie never had a shortage of money in his previous life".
"Looks like I'm really going to have to think of some way to make money." This thought appeared in Tang Lie's heart, a penny is not a hero This is not said in vain.
Although Tang Lie needs a lot of money, he will not be too short of money in a short period of time, at least it will take a while to adjust his body, the most important thing now is to take care of his body first, he is now eighteen years old, otherwise he will really have no way to think about it after the age of twenty after his body has developed and is completely finalized.
After returning home, Tang Lie took out several medicinal materials and began to boil the medicine, and in the afternoon, Chen Jing went home and smelled a room full of traditional Chinese medicine, fortunately, Tang Lie had already colluded with Pang Xi, saying that Pang Xi knew a famous Chinese medicine and took Tang Lie to prescribe these medicines to regulate the body.
Chen Jing also knew that although Western medicine was effective, it was still a thorough Chinese medicine to regulate the body, and Pang Yi was forcibly pulled onto his thief ship by Tang Lie to help him lie, so Chen Jing didn't doubt it.
In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve, Tang Lie looked at the ceiling in a daze, today it can be said that most people do not have to go to work, but his mother has no holiday.
Tang Lie felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and secretly decided not to let this life last too long, and when his body was completely adjusted, he would have to find a way to make money, he must not let his mother live so hard every day.
Although Tang Lie's injuries have healed after half a month, and his physical fitness has improved a lot, Tang Lie is still very dissatisfied.
Look at the time, it's still morning, and my mother is going to work right now and won't come home like this. Tang Lie, who was chatting at home, walked downstairs alone, chatting around.
Seeing that the streets were full of couplets, firecrackers and New Year's items, Tang Lie's heart moved, he was fine now anyway, it was better to write a few couplets in exchange for a little money, his calligraphy had not been practiced for a while, and it was good to use a pen.
Then Tang Lie had a headache again, his calligraphy is considered to be a famous master, but in this place where few people know the goods on the street, even if he writes to death, he may not be able to make a few dollars.
There's no way, I'm used to finding Pang. This has almost become Tang Lie's best plan during this time. When he came to Tang Lie, he was not used to looking for Pang for everything, but after a period of familiarity after crossing over, Tang Lie slowly changed from unaccustomed to natural.
"Liezi, why did you remember to call me out today?" Half an hour later, the two met.
"I haven't seen you for two days, do you miss you a little? So call you out for a walkaround. ”
"Cut~ If you your tail, I will know what you are pulling, say, what's the matter."
"I just want to ask you where the couplets near here are more popular, and there are the most people who know calligraphy." Tang Lie didn't deny it, and said straightforwardly.
"You're right when you ask me, I've been busy picking out couplets for the past two days, and I'm looking for couplets with a high level of calligraphy. Get in the car and I'll take you somewhere where there are guaranteed to be a lot of really good couplets. ”
Twenty minutes later, the two appeared at the gate of the Huagong in the southern district of Shuzhong, although Tang Lie didn't vomit after getting off the car this time, his face was still a little unsightly, this motion sickness was not something that he could quickly change as a person who had traveled from ancient times.
Taking a deep breath and adjusting slightly, Tang Lie began to observe those couplets that were supposedly good in calligraphy. Looking at these couplets, Tang Lie was a little dizzy, for modern people, this is quite a good brush hand, but for Tang Lie, it can only be said that it is still a brush word, not even calligraphy.
"Liezi, what kind of couplet are you looking for, what font do you want, I'll take you there. I know a few famous calligraphers here, and if you want to buy them, I can give you a lot of discounts. ”
"Who said I was here to buy couplets? I'm going to sell couplets here. ”
"I said Liezi, I haven't seen you write calligraphy, I don't see that you still know calligraphy?"
"Brother, I will have a lot, the key is to see if anyone knows the goods. Don't you know a few famous calligraphers here? Find any one, and we'll borrow his treasure. ”
Now Pang Xi is a little embarrassed, isn't it that he is bragging that he knows a few famous calligraphers here, but let Tang Lie go to those people to buy calligraphy couplets, isn't that an axe?
But now that the person has arrived here and his words have been spoken, Pang Xi can only cheekily take Tang Lie and walk towards a calligraphy master named Qi Muyan he knows.
It's just that this Qi Muyan is not the most famous calligrapher Pang is accustomed to knowing here, and he can only be considered average, but this Qi Muyan is a good person, even if Tang Lie's writing is not too good, he will save some face for himself and Tang Lie.
"Qi Lao, this friend of mine wants to borrow a position with you to sell some calligraphy couplets, do you think it's okay?" Coming to an old man who was nearly sixty years old in the Hua Palace, Pang Xi said with some embarrassment.
"Young Master Pang, what are you talking about? You can come to give me Qi Muyan face, you can use this position. After finishing speaking, Qi Muyan asked someone to bring the table and the four treasures of the room.
"Kid Tang Lie thanked Qi for getting old." Tang Lie saluted Qi Muyan and then came to the table, took a deep breath, picked up a brush and swam quickly on the red couplet paper.
Watching the brush in Tang Lie's hand swim quickly, leaving beautiful fonts on the red couplet paper, Qi Muyan's eyes were round, if it weren't for the glasses blocking it, others would probably be a little worried that he would stare out his eyes.
"The font is thin and straight, the horizontal drawing is closed with a hook, the vertical stroke is drawn with a point, the skimming is like a dagger, the vertical hook is slender, and the charm is full, which is the thin gold body created by Huizong in the Northern Song Dynasty? It's amazing, it's amazing to be able to train the thin gold body to such a brilliant point, I think even the rebirth of Huizong may not be better than what Xiaoyou wrote. Qi Muyan took a deep breath and said with a trembling voice.
Pang on the side was stupid, he never thought that Tang Lie's calligraphy attainments were so high, he also knew something about calligraphy, and there were many calligraphy masterpieces in his family.
Qi Muyan's words were heard by many people, and some people who knew calligraphy came closer to Tang Lie, and after reading Tang Lie's couplet, they were all amazed, and even many people's eyes turned red.
"Qi Lao has won the award, I just know some fur, how can it be as powerful as Qi Lao said."
"Little friends are going to sell this couplet? It is a waste to put such a calligraphy masterpiece on Chinese New Year's Eve for so many days, and I don't know what price this pair of friends is going to sell. ”
"Little friend, are you going to sell this couplet? You make an offer, I want this couplet. Pángbiān, a calligraphy hobby, was the first to speak after hearing Qi Muyan say that Tang Lie's thin gold couplet was ready to be sold.
"I don't know much about this market, Qi Lao, you can evaluate it for me, if it is appropriate, my couplet will change hands directly."
"This~~ This is really not easy to say, I can only say that if Xiaoyou takes this couplet to auction, it is estimated that the price will not be low." Hearing that Tang Lie let himself be appraised, Qi Muyan was embarrassed.
To be honest, such a brilliant thin gold body, Qi Muyan felt that it should be expensive, but Tang Lie had no reputation, even if calligraphy was the same calligraphy, the price was completely different from different people's hands.
What's more, there are a lot of people who have red eyes on this couplet now, and he Qi Muyan doesn't want to directly quote a sky-high price to offend everyone. In the same way, he didn't want to say that the price was low and insulted this thin gold body, so he could only euphemistically say that the price of the couplet would not be low.
"Liezi, give it to me, the price won't let you suffer, I'll find a few more famous calligraphers to give you an appraisal of this couplet." Pang Xi also had the idea of collecting Tang Lie's couplet.
"Come on, let's give this to you, what do we have to do with it, do we still need to collect your money?"
