Chapter 32: Pingzhou? Ask for recommendations and collections
The pen is well chosen, but the price that Boss Zhao wants is not low, it is 20,000 yuan, Guo Yi just smiled and nodded, looking for the boss to see Guo Yi should go, and he was very excited to choose ink blocks for him.
"Boss Zhao, I'll pick a piece of this ink." Guo Yi said
"Okay," Boss Zhao, who was selecting the ink block, was surprised and nodded in response
Guo Yi found with his eyes that on the shelf where the ink was placed, there was actually a piece of ink, which actually contained aura, obviously this ink was also a bit old, Guo Yi walked over and took the round ink block in his hand.
"The little brother is extraordinary as soon as he makes a move, the little brother is not a layman, he really has good eyesight, this ink ingot is the oil smoke ink in the Hui ink, but it has been some years" Seeing the ink selected by Guo Yi, Boss Zhao was slightly surprised and said
Guo Yi just nodded slightly and didn't speak, just put the ink ingot and brush together.
After choosing the ink ingot, the paper is left, and among the four treasures of the study, paper is the least valued. But the fork is the most important. "Since you have paper, no matter how good your calligraphy is, no matter how high your skills are, your paintings will not be able to be handed down, unless you can paint on the wall like Wu Daozi and not fade for hundreds of years, of course, how many Wu Daozi can there be?
Xuan paper is a traditional Chinese classical calligraphy and painting paper, and is one of the traditional papermaking crafts of the Han nationality. Originated in Anhui Province, it is named after Ningguofu Xuancheng, so it is called "Xuan paper".
In this year of rapid economic development, as long as it has a little bit to do with culture. Everything is fake, and rice paper is no exception. Many unscrupulous businessmen take some calligraphy and painting paper to pass off as rice paper to make profits.
The fame of rice paper began in the Tang Dynasty. Tang calligraphy and painting critic Zhang Yanyuan's "Records of Famous Paintings of the Past Dynasties" cloud: "Good things should be placed on 100 pieces of rice paper, and wax should be used to prepare for copying." This shows that the Tang Dynasty had already used rice paper for calligraphy and painting.
According to the "Old Tang Book". In the second year of Tianbao (743), Jiangxi, Sichuan, southern Anhui and eastern Zhejiang all produced paper to pay tribute, and Xuancheng County paper was particularly exquisite. It can be seen that rice paper has been crowned in various places at that time. Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, once personally supervised the production of "Chengxintang" paper, which is a treasure in rice paper, it "skin like an egg membrane, as clean as jade." Thin and glossy, crowned for a while. ”
The so-called "ink is divided into five colors," that is, a single stroke. The shades are visible, the texture is visible, the ink rhyme is clear, and the layers are distinct. This is the calligrapher and painter who use the ink wetting of rice paper. It is an artistic effect that controls the proportion of ink and wash and achieves a kind of artistic effect by moving the brush. In addition, it is resistant to aging and does not change color. Less insects and long life, so it has the reputation of "the king of paper, millennium paper". In the 19th century, he won a gold medal at the Panama International Paper Competition. In addition to inscribed poems and paintings, rice paper is also the best paper for writing diplomatic notes and preserving high-level archives and historical materials.
Calligraphy and painting paper is just an ordinary paper with the characteristics of moistening ink, with a very short service life, and is now well-preserved calligraphy and painting art treasures, ancient books, documents, and prints. It can go through thousands of years without rotting, which is the best proof of the characteristics of rice paper "paper longevity for thousands of years". There is a world of difference between the two.
The best rice paper, until now still maintains the bamboo curtain filter copying method for paper, with the fire wall baking, manual uncovering and pasting of the drying paper, inspection one by one visual inspection, its production process and price, are not the kind of mass-produced calligraphy and painting paper can be compared.
The ancients were picky about the use of rice paper. But they don't know the process of making rice paper, they are just selectively picky, and several modern calligraphy and painting masters do have some beautiful talks.
Some modern and modern painting and calligraphy masters, in the ancient years, regardless of the body of thousands of miles to feel the rice paper manufacturer, visit the process of making zuò, and the inscription to paint as a souvenir, which has become a great talk in the calligraphy and painting world, since then people in the cultural circle attach great importance to rice paper to a higher level.
Boss Zhao selected five knives of rice paper made by Anhui Jingxian for Guo Yi, this kind of paper has a white appearance, according to Boss Zhao, it can be cut at will, with strong ink moistening, and it will not be deformed when wet.
Guo Yi touched it with his hand, and felt that it was soft and tough to start, and it was difficult to tear it apart when it was small, so he nodded and acquiesced to the price of this six-foot rice paper as high as one thousand Wu Baiyuan, and said that it was poor and rich, if it was according to the standards that Guo Yi had received since childhood, I am afraid that this word would be read upside down.
"Boss Zhao, how much do you count these selected pieces together?" After Guo Yi touched the rice paper, he said directly to Boss Zhao
"Do you want that Yishui ancient inkstone?" Boss Zhao raised his head and looked at Guo Yi, Guo Yi didn't respond when he introduced the ancient inkstone before, but he didn't expect that this person who was not dressed well was the real rich man.
"A piece of Yishui ancient inkstone, 150,000 yuan, a piece of oil smoke ink is 12,000 yuan, a purple sheep brush is 20,000 yuan, Anhui rice paper is 7,500 yuan, a total of 189,500 yuan, I will erase the odd for you, a total of 185,000 yuan?" Boss Zhao quickly reported a string of numbers while making calculations, and after calculating, he raised his head and looked at Guo Yi and finally said
"Cheng, just according to what Boss Zhao said, can you swipe the card here?" Guo Yi replied noncommittally
Guo Yi has no objection to this price. He didn't buy these things with the intention of picking them up. Although there are many dusty objects in the pearl, for these people who open shops, they have already eaten the objects in their hands, and the chance of being able to pick up the leaks in the antique store is very small.
After shopping, Guo Yi saw that the time was not early, it was already more than half past nine in the morning, Guo Yi did not continue to talk nonsense, I am hanging out, when can I not come to the capital in the future.
Walking out of Panjiayuan, Guo Yi casually hailed a taxi waiting for guests, and after putting the things in the car, Guo Yi dialed Professor Qin.
"It's Xiao Guo, right?" The phone rang and it was connected, and a slightly tired voice was heard.
"Hello Mr. Qin, I'm Guo Yi." Guo Yi replied
"Xiao Guo, today our agreement is going to be postponed, I am going to Yunnan now, I found an ancient tomb there, I am going to preside over it, I can't stop Xiao Guo." Professor Qin's slightly apologetic voice came from the other side of the phone.
"It's okay teacher, you can get busy if the teacher has something to do. Speak where you can find me. Guo Yi was stunned for a moment, and then said
"That's fine, I'll let you know when I get back. I hung up first. Professor Qin heard the sound of the airport announcement, and hung up the phone after speaking.
"It seems that this time the matter is more urgent, otherwise Professor Qin would not be so anxious." Guo Yi thought in his heart, and then re-reported the name of the Beijing Hotel with the driver.
As soon as I entered the hotel, the phone rang, but I didn't expect it to be Liu Jun.
"Brother Liu?" After the phone was connected, Guo Yi said
"Brother Guo, where are you now?" Liu Jun's hearty voice came from the phone
"I'm in the capital right now. Just arrived yesterday. Guo Yi replied
"Brother, you didn't notify me when you arrived in the capital, it seems that I am an outsider." Liu Jun said on the other side of the phone
"Brother Liu. The main reason I came this time was to meet the teacher first, and I was in contact with you," Guo Yi said
"Okay, Brother Guo, let's talk about these later. I'm going to Pingchau to attend the Gambling Stone Tournament now. Do you want to go, brother? Liu Jun said on the other side of the phone
"When are you leaving?" Guo Yi asked
"I'm about to leave, and I've just finished my busy day, so I don't want to know that I haven't informed you yet? I'm at the airport right now. Liu Jun said
"Alright then, I'll get over in a minute." Guo Yi thought about it for a while, and now there is nothing to do, Mr. Qin went to Yunnan for archaeology, and Li Yang's wedding was still a period of time, so he agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Guo Yi went out and rang Liang Fatzi's room. It took a while for the fat man to open the door, and it seems that this fat man is also a prostitute.
"Brother Guo. Didn't you come back so soon and didn't see the teacher? Liang Fatzi said as soon as he saw that it was Guo Yi
"The teacher dares to go to Yunnan in a hurry, and I am going to Pingzhou now, the fat brother can't help it, and he can't participate in the black market at night." Guo Yi said embarrassedly
"What else should I do? Brother has something to do first! Well, does Pingzhou participate in the Gambling Stone Tournament? Liang Fatzi reacted as he spoke.
"Well, the fat brother also knows about gambling stones?" Guo Yi was stunned and said
"Hey, someone once invited me, I didn't go, brother went this time, brother, I don't think I'm in the way, right?" Liang Fatzi continued
"Fat brother, aren't you going to get the approval tomorrow?" Guo Yi asked
"Approval, just go down and get it, I'll follow you to see what the place they call a holy place looks like? Are stones that fun? Liang Fat Man squinted his eyes and said
"Alright then, but I'm going to the airport now, and there's a friend waiting there." Guo Yi thought about it and responded.
"Wait for me in a moment, I'll clean up, and we'll go." After Liang Fatzi finished speaking, he closed the door and looked like he had gone to change his clothes.
Guo Yi shook his head, then took out his mobile phone to find Li Yang's number and dialed it.
"Third child, why are you doing so early?" After thinking for a while, Li Yang's voice came from the other side of the phone.
"I'm going to Ping Chau today and I'll be back in a few days." Guo Yi said briefly
"Pingzhou? What to do in Ping Chau? Li Yang asked in a daze, it seems that he hasn't woken up yet, he has a month's vacation before the new hall takes office, and he still has more than two months of marriage leave, which is enough for him to enjoy freely.
"Gambling stones," Guo Yi said
"Gambling stones? Wait, you're going to gamble on stones, how can such a good thing be without me? Where are you, I'll rush over immediately" Li Yang suddenly came to his senses
"I'm going to the airport right away," Guo Yi said
"Then we'll meet at the airport." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, Guo Yi smiled, why are you so excited when you mention gambling stones? Is the gambling stone really so charming?
Guo Yi came to the hall with his things, and after a while, Liang Fatzi came down with his female companion, and after leaving the room, Liang Fatzi didn't know where to get a car to pull them and dare to go to the airport.
Guo Yi's air ticket Liu Jun booked it for him at the airport, and when they arrived at the airport, Li Yang's car also happened to arrive in a rampage.
After a few pleasantries, they went to the waiting hall together.
"Brother Liu" Guo Yi shouted at Liu Jun, who was sitting in the hall waiting
"Brother Guo, don't be slow, there's still an hour to go, let's sit for a while, this is the ticket to get it." Liu Jun got up and said to Guo Yi, who came closer
Guo Yi took the ticket and introduced Liang Fatzi to Liu Jun, Li Yang didn't need to be introduced, they all belonged to the same circle, and the old man lived in Yuquan Mountain at the same time, and they were very familiar with each other.
"Little Wu, you don't prepare for your wedding, what's the fun?" Liu Jun said with a straight face at Li Yang
"Brother Liu, you can't all earn money, so you can score me a little bit anyway." Li Yang said scoundrelly
"Take out your ID card and ask him to go and get you a ticket." Liu Jun said to Liang Fatzi and the others, and pointed to the assistant beside him.
"Your kid's road is not here, your road is in the government, you will fall off the horse because of money in the future, see if your old man can spare you." After Liu Jun finished speaking, he said to Li Yang with a straight face, depending on the situation, the two are very familiar, otherwise others would not say such a thing of concern.
"Don't worry, Brother Liu, isn't this Guo Yi here? I wouldn't have gone without him. Li Yang shrank his head and said, it seems that he is very afraid of Liu Jun.
"Okay then." Liu Jun nodded and didn't say anything more.
After the assistant finished the ticket, the hall had already begun to announce the boarding, and several people went to the boarding gate to change the boarding pass and walked to the plane together. (To be continued......)
