Zhou Zhou Ming saw through this Boss Zhang's little trick, and quietly tricked the other party, and made him unable to speak.

Boss Zhang glared at Zhou Ming hatefully, swept Liu Xiaoya again, grabbed Zhou Ming and picked up the remaining thirteen fakes and turned around and left.

After Boss Zhang left, Zhou Ming slapped his palm with Liu Xiaoya with a smile, "Happy cooperation, haha, this old boy is not good at business, he thinks about pit people all day long, hmph, this is a small lesson for him, let him remember it longer." ”

Liu Xiaoya was a little worried, "What is his origin?" Did you know each other before? ”

Zhou Zhou Ming shook his head, briefly introduced the process of his acquaintance with this Boss Zhang, and then comforted: "It's okay, this kind of person will do something to cheat and deceive, and he doesn't have the courage to do anything ruthless," Seeing that Liu Xiaoya's face was still a little worried, he smiled and patted his chest, "Don't worry, isn't this me?" ”

Liu Xiaoya bit her lip and nodded when she heard this, "I know, it's not a bad thing to pay attention anyway, it's easy to dodge open guns and difficult to defend against hidden arrows." ”

Zhou Ming smiled and said that he knew, and then looked at the forty-two pieces of calligraphy and painting works collected by ten thousand pieces with a happy face, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them, and finally smiled at Liu Xiaoya: "Sister Xiaoya, I keep these calligraphy and paintings for myself, and I can't sell them for a few dollars anyway." ”

"Keep it," Liu Xiaoya certainly had no objections, but she also looked at them curiously, and finally shook her head in disappointment, "The level of these calligraphy and paintings seems to be really average, the current price is a little low, but even if it rises, it can't go up." ”

Zhou Zhou Ming nodded, "It's true that a single sheet looks like this, after all, these people don't know professional calligraphers and painters, and they like them more of a feeling, but if you can meet the same painting that several famous actors work together, the price will be slightly higher," said and turned out the large-scale vertical scroll flower and bird paintings cooperated by Ma Lianliang, Li Wanchun, Jiang Miaoxiang, and Shi Huibao.

"Look at this picture, although there are no Mei Lanfang and Shang Xiaoyun, the most famous characters, but Ma Lianliang, Li Wanchun, Jiang Miaoxiang and Shi Huibao are here, the value of this painting is more than 10,000 yuan even now, according to me, it will definitely not be sold if it is less than 300,000 yuan," Zhou Zhou Ming said and explained the painting to Liu Xiaoya seriously.

Liu Xiaoya nodded as if she didn't understand, "So let's really take advantage of it." ”

Zhou Zhou Ming smiled and nodded, "It's also that old boy's attention is all on that big painting, otherwise it wouldn't be so cheap for us, but I am really willing to spend money, and I actually found more than forty works of the same type, so many can be made into a small series for exhibition." ”

"Then you can just open an exhibition, giggles, and then gather some double lovers of ancient calligraphy and painting of Peking Opera and antiques, and you can earn a lot of money by collecting tickets," Liu Xiaoya quipped with a giggle.

Zhou Ming's heart moved, this is also a way, but when I think about it, there are more than forty works, which seems to be a lot, but if I really want to hold an exhibition, it is still a little worse, and there is a lack of good things for the finale, if there is really a big painting in the hands of the four famous Dans, you can consider it, especially Mei Lanfang's good works are still too few, there are more than a dozen of them here are Mei Lanfang's, but most of the small works such as fan mirror hearts can't support the table.

"Mei Lanfang really has such a big appeal? Can you pull up a series of works in Liyuan Xing? After listening to Zhou Ming's explanation, Liu Xiaoya still didn't believe it.

Zhou Ming smiled, but his heart was somewhat bitter, in the eyes of these people who listened to the opera and sang, Mei Lanfang's status was a super idol, even in the field of performing arts in the world, it was also a well-known role, but now most people's understanding of him is limited to hearsay, and most people know his name from the story of Hu Mingzhi in the textbook.

But ninety years ago, Mei Lanfang was the leading idol in society at that time, from the princes and nobles to the common people, it took a long time to brag about watching a Mei Lanfang play, and not only in China, Mei Lanfang has performed abroad many times, which was really amazing in that society at that time.

Even now, the records recorded by Mei Lanfang at that time are tens of thousands, which are much more expensive than his calligraphy and painting works.

And records are more expensive than calligraphy and painting works, not only Mei Lanfang, but also the four famous Dan and the four major Susheng and those famous actors at that time, the records they recorded are all more than tens of thousands, which are much more expensive than calligraphy and painting works.

But records can be ripped, can be copied, but calligraphy and painting works cannot, is a real out-of-print artwork, once Mei Lanfang, a leading figure in the calligraphy and painting market, people's understanding of those people in the pear garden line slowly deepened, then their value rose naturally is a natural thing.

Seriously introduced Mei Lanfang's influence, and then Zhou Zhou Ming gently took a breath, "It's a pity that this big role in the art field still failed to pass the emotional level, leaving some emotional black spots." ”

"Oh? What's going on? Liu Xiaoya was much more interested in Mei Lanfang's emotional gossip, and her eyes immediately lit up.

In fact, at the time of the Republic of China, none of those romantic talents had any confidantes, and there were so many love stories left, but the story of Mei Lanfang and the "Eastern Emperor" Meng Xiaodong still made people sigh.

Meng Xiaodong is naturally a woman, known as the "East Emperor" just because he disguised himself as a man and walked all the way to Xu Sheng, a disciple of the famous Peking Opera veteran Yu Shuyan, one of the outstanding descendants of the Yu faction, her appearance is mighty, spirited, and her singing voice is strict and heavy, she is very popular, and she is called "East Emperor" to show her love.

After Meng Xiaodong worshipped Yu Shuyan as his teacher, he sang a famous name in the capital, and was one of the students who could be as famous as Ma Lianliang, Tan Fuying and others, known as the "Eastern Emperor"; And at that time, Mei Lanfang was also like the sky, known as the "King of Ling". A woman dressed as a man to play a beard, a man dressed as a woman to play the role of Dan, plus the two of them have collaborated on the same stage in "Shiro Visits the Mother", "Dragon and Phoenix", "Second Entrance to the Palace" and other tracks, so the understanding between them has gradually deepened.

In this way, it is good that some good people have made the two of them into a couple, especially those people from the Mei faction who instigated Mei Lanfang and asked him to take Meng Xiaodong as a concubine. During the Republic of China, concubines were nothing, and the small landlords in the countryside had a few concubines, not to mention Mei Lanfang.

And Meng Xiaodong already admired Mei Lanfang, so it was done as soon as he said it, but Mei Lanfang's second wife Fu Zhifang was unwilling to let Meng Xiaodong enter the door, so Mei Lanfang bought a courtyard in the immeasurable alley of Beiping Dongcheng at that time, named it "Embellished Yuxuan", and let Meng Xiaodong live alone.

To say that taking a concubine was no problem for Mei Lanfang at that time, but Meng Xiaodong also had admirers as the "Eastern Emperor", a young man named Wang Weichen was crazy in love with Meng Xiaodong, and one day he broke into Yuxuan with a gun, when Mei Lanfang was taking a lunch break, it was his friend Zhang Hanju who picked up the guest for him, Wang Weichen saw that it was not Mei Lanfang, and quickly pulled out a pistol against Zhang Hanju, claiming that the matter had nothing to do with Zhang, and asked Zhang to call Mei Lanfang out, he wanted to settle accounts with Mei Lanfang, otherwise he could only solve the problem by taking out 100,000 yuan.

When this happened, he naturally called the police, and soon, Yu Yuxuan was surrounded by a large number of military police. Unexpectedly, Wang Weichen inadvertently caught a glimpse of the military police, and immediately panicked, pulled out his gun and shot at Zhang Hanju.

Poor Zhang Hanju is also a famous person in Beiping, but he died under Wang Weichen's gun in such a daze.

After this bloody case, public opinion at that time was in an uproar, although it cannot be said that it is Mei Lanfang's fault, but a famous character will definitely be affected if he is involved in such an incident. And since then, Mei Lanfang rarely went to Yuxuan, and gradually snubbed Meng Xiaodong.

Who is Meng Xiaodong? But the woman who is known as the Eastern Emperor and can play the beard, is naturally not a delicate little girl, and she went back to Jinmen to sing on stage in a fit of anger.

Later, the two were persuaded to reconcile for a while, but then Mei Lanfang's mother died, and when Meng Xiaodong went to worship, Fu Zhifang forced him to die and did not let Meng Xiaodong enter the door, and Mei Lanfang had no decision for a while, which made Meng Xiaodong completely sad and simply left Mei Lanfang.

Six years later, Meng Xiaodong was introduced by his best friend Yao Yulan and married Du Yuesheng, a tycoon in Shanghai, and then followed Du Yuesheng to Hong Kong and Taiwan Province, and died alone until 77 years.

Of course, the truth is definitely not so simple, but if Mei Lanfang is more decisive emotionally, it will not let the dignified Donghuang fall to that point. Of course, in the emotional world, this is a mutual thing, Meng Xiaodong is not to say how perfect it is, on the contrary, he will play a little temper, it is said that once when he went out to eat, Meng Xiaodong just said that he would go to Donglaishun, and he said that he was not good halfway through, and he wanted to go to Fengze Garden, and then he said that it was not good, and he made trouble for a long time along the way, and finally he could only go home and cook by himself.

Meng Xiaodong has a normal temper with some young ladies, after all, she is a famous character on the same level as Mei Lanfang, but she often makes trouble like this, Mei Lanfang must be annoyed, and it is normal to break up after a long time.

As for some people saying that Mei Lanfang is because she often disguises herself as a woman to play the role of Dan, so she lacks masculinity and has no courage, Zhou Ming will never believe it, because Mei Lanfang is not a person without courage, it can be seen from his accumulation of Hu Mingzhi to the angry destruction of the painting, although Mei Lanfang is playing the role of Dan, but he is a big husband who stands up to the sky.

It's just that no one is perfect, no matter how talented and courageous Mei Lanfang is, she is also a mortal emotionally, in the face of Fu Zhifang and Meng Xiaodong, two very outstanding women, not to mention Mei Lanfang, how many people can really make a decision cleanly?
