Chu Chen said, "Old Qiao, what do you want me to do?" Even if it's beyond my ability, I'll do my best to help you coordinate. ”

"If there are a few more people like Xiao Chu in our society, the loss of cultural relics in our country will be much better!"

Seeing Chu Chen's statement like this, Qiao Qingtai sighed with emotion, and then he said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, in fact, it's easy for me to ask you to help, I got the news in advance that the national treasure will appear on a black market tomorrow as the finale lot." My task is to take pictures of the national treasure first. ”

"Originally, I wanted Xiao Han to arrange someone to take me there, and the other party is also a boss, but my net worth is a bit thin for that national treasure, and if I take a picture, I am worried that it will arouse the suspicion of those people. I didn't expect to meet you today, so that's no problem. ”

"Okay, it's easy, let's just go together then."

Chu Chen nodded directly and agreed, as for Qiao Qingtai, they knew the news of the national treasure, why didn't they arrest this group directly, he didn't ask.

The reason is obvious, since the other party dares to spread such news, he must have the means to deal with it a long time ago, and once there is any trouble, these people will probably run away without a trace.

Rather than this, it is better to buy the national treasure first, and in the end, even if the gang escapes, it will not let the national treasure be smuggled abroad. Otherwise, if you really want to smuggle the national treasure abroad, you should be able to imagine the difficulty of recovery.

Qiao Qingtai briefly said the things to pay attention to when the time comes, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, do you have anything to do today?" ”

Chu Chen shook his head. said that he had planned to go out and play.

Han Yusong, who was next to him, hurriedly said, "Teacher Chu, I don't know if you have time to go to my shop." Guidance, huh? ”

Qiao Qingtai smiled: "Xiao Han, your brain is turning fast enough." ”

Han Yusong smiled and said, "Isn't this a rare trip to Xiazhou for Teacher Chu?" ”

"It's strange to believe you!" Qiao Qingtai scolded with a smile. said: "This kid in order to add fame to his antique shop, he didn't miss a chance at all, every time I came he asked me to give him an inscription, but after so many years, his shop is still the one I first inscribed, and the others don't know whether he sold them or how." ”

Han Yusong waved his hand again and again: "Uncle Qiao, if you say that, you will bury me, I will carefully preserve those words and pass them on as family heirlooms." No matter what, I won't sell your words for money! And if I do, my dad won't break my legs! ”

"As for the calligraphy that has been hanging in the store, isn't it also because things are scarce and expensive? If there are too many words, it will also reduce your value. ”

Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "I'm not a calligrapher, what is worthless." ”

"Uncle Qiao, that's because you're too modest, I don't believe you ask Teacher Chu how your calligraphy level is."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? I asked Xiao Chu in person. Will he say that my calligraphy is poor? ”

Chu Chen smiled: "Old Qiao, you are indeed too modest, my master mentioned your calligraphy, but he praised it a lot." ”

Han Yusong laughed and said, "Take a look." I'm not wrong......"

After laughing for a while, everyone took a car to one of the many antique markets in Xiazhou. This antique market is located in a north-south alley with about 40 storefronts on either side of the alley. Half of them are porcelain and jade, and stone is also a major item. It is estimated that there are more than a dozen, and there are four or five miscellaneous. One or two specializing in jade.

Han Yusong's antique shop is one of the miscellaneous items, the store is not big or small, Chu Chen and they walked into the store with Han Yusong, they saw a young man in his twenties and thirties introducing the antiques on the Bogu shelf to a middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked at Chu Chen and the others, and then pointed to a blue vase for the young man to help introduce. Judging from what he asked, this person is likely to be a novice, and he should not have been here a few times, and if he doesn't come, he won't even know the boss.

Han Yusong just nodded to the young man, and then led the three of them to the reception room inside.

At this time, I heard the middle-aged man ask, "Excuse me, do you have any calligraphy works by He Shaoji here?" ”

The young man was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Han Yusong, there was a calligraphy work by He Shaoji in the store, but the price was not cheap, and it was not something that he could decide as a part-time worker.

Han Yusong also heard what the middle-aged man said, so he apologized to the others, and then walked up to the middle-aged man and asked, "This gentleman, do you want He Shaoji's calligraphy works?" ”

The middle-aged man looked at Han Yusong slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, you are the owner of this store?" ”

Han Yusong nodded: "He Shaoji's calligraphy work does have one in our store, but there is one thing I have to explain to you in advance, the price of this work is not low." ”

The middle-aged man waved his hand when he heard this, and said in an atmospheric manner: "As long as I can see something, the price is completely negotiable." ”

"Okay! Then you inside please! ”

After speaking, the middle-aged man was also invited into the reception room by Han Yusong, and when the young clerk prepared tea for everyone, Han Yusong walked back with a calligraphy and painting brocade box, he put the brocade box on a long table next to him, and invited everyone to watch it together.

He Shaoji was a poet, painter and calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty. He is very diligent, he himself said: "Yu Xueshu has been studying for more than 40 years, tracing the source of the seal. The law of Kai was divided into the thread of the true Kai by seeking the seal of the Northern Dynasty. ”

He Shaoji started with Yan Zhenqing and Ouyang Tong in his early years, and chased after Qin and Han Seals. He was extremely specialized in writing Han monuments, and he wrote more than 100 times in the form of "Zhang Qian Monument" and "Ritual Monument", without seeking to resemble the form, all out of his own mind. And then "the grass, seal, division, and line are melted into a furnace, and the dragon changes, which is unpredictable." "There are still a lot of copies in existence.

He was middle-aged and devoted himself to the North Monument, and wrote words with a strong personality with a different method of returning to the wrist than ordinary people.

He Shaoji said: "If you use Zhongfengran for writing, one stroke to the end, there are all sides, is it not thick?" Ann doesn't rhyme? Isn't it strong? Is it not far away? This matter must be able to hold the pen when the dantian worker, keep his eyes high, coil and send, and carry the gods by himself, so as to get this spirit. It's really round, it's a big disaster, it's a big disaster! ”

It can be seen that it attaches great importance to and has a deep understanding of Zhongfeng. And this also created his calligraphy style of melting the ancients with various types of calligraphy and becoming a family of his own, which is praised by the world.

The calligraphy work in front of me is a vertical scroll ink calligraphy with seven words, and the paper is sprinkled with gold paper.

Sprinkle gold paper is actually the ancient production of zuò rice paper, for reasons such as beauty, will be glued powder on the paper plus gold and silver powder or gold and silver foil, after the production will be seen on the color powder wax paper to see a little gold and silver powder or pieces of gold and silver foil formed, called "sprinkle gold and silver five-color wax paper", that is, "sprinkle gold paper".

In addition to the special paper, this calligraphy work can be described as a spontaneous book, skillful and not slippery and light, which is a perfect interpretation of He Shaoji's calligraphy.

The calligraphy not only seems to absorb the ups and downs of the golden stone inscription, but also integrates the majestic momentum of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, forming his calligraphy charm that is both ups and downs and contains vigorous and plump.

Just like a literati in the Qing Dynasty commented, "Because of the unbridled and easy spirit, often in the middle of a line, suddenly like a strong man's fighting strength, muscles and bones emerge, suddenly like a cup to pull the horse, the attitude is detached, non-refined four bodies, familiar with the eight laws, can not comprehend its wonder." ”

From this, we can see the courage contained in He Shaoji's book.

"Good!"

Although it is only a seven-character couplet in front of him, judging from the old way of penmanship and the artistic conception contained in it, it should be a masterpiece of He Shaoji's calligraphy works in his later years, so that Qiao Qingtai, who loves calligraphy, couldn't help but praise loudly when he saw the end.

To be honest, Qiao Qingtai was also very eager to be able to pocket this couplet at this time, but first come, first served is a rule that everyone in the antique industry attaches great importance to, even if he has a good relationship with He Shaoji, he can't break this convention.

Seeing Qiao Qingtai's hot eyes, Han Yusong regretted it a little in his heart, and he didn't think much about it when he said it just now. However, he did this subconsciously, and the reason was that the price of this couplet he got was a little more expensive, and with the current market situation, it is estimated that it will take another three or four years to appreciate before it can protect the capital.

In this case, only a newcomer who is not very knowledgeable can let him do his best to make a move at the price of capital protection.

But the matter has come to this, for the sake of his reputation, Han Yusong can only talk about the business first, but he still has some contradictions in his heart, on the one hand, he doesn't want to disappoint Qiao Qingtai, and on the other hand, he wants to do his best to sell at the price of capital protection, which makes him feel very entangled.

However, no matter how entangled Han Yusong was, the business still had to be discussed, so he took the middle-aged man aside, and the two began to bargain, but the process was not smooth, although the middle-aged man liked this work, but the price was very low, not to mention being able to protect the capital, even the normal market price could not be reached.

This made Han Yusong very annoyed, looking at the middle-aged man's appearance of not eating oil and salt, he was also a little impatient, and said, "Mr. Qian, the price just now can't be lower no matter what." ”

"That's definitely not going to work!" The middle-aged man shook his head again and again in disagreement.

The price that Han Yusong said just now is already slightly lower than his purchase price, and if it is lower, he might as well transfer this couplet to Qiao Qingtai and earn a favor, since the middle-aged man does not agree, then he also said that this transaction cannot be negotiated.

The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders and left without saying anything.

After the middle-aged man left, Qiao Qingtai said, "Xiao Han, what's the matter with this person?" ”

"Maybe the price I gave was too high, right?" Han Yusong smiled, even if the price he gave was already a little loss-making, it was indeed higher than the current market price, and it was normal for the other party to feel dissatisfied. (To be continued......)
