The stall owner saw that Zhu Dafu and the others were all fake, such things were obviously worthless, even if the things of the four people were added up, they would not cost more than 100 yuan, which made him very unhappy.

At this time, he saw that Chu Chen was looking through those books, and he seemed to be a little interested, so he hurriedly said to Chu Chen: "Little brother, those few things can only be packaged and sold." ”

The reason why he said that he wanted to sell it in a package was also to make Chu Chen a few more money, of course, it didn't matter if Chu Chen didn't buy it, he didn't worry about selling a genuine product like this.

"Packaged for sale?" Chu Chen really hadn't encountered this kind of thing, and he felt a little funny for a while.

"Yes!"

"How much does that cost?"

The stall owner thought for a moment and said, "A total of eight hundred." ”

There are only ten ancient books here, and Chu Chen has read all five of them, all of which are ordinary engraved books from the late Qing Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty, and the remaining five books should not be much better. If such a thing costs eight hundred, he will definitely not be interested, and instead of this, he might as well choose something cheaper.

However, just when he wanted to refuse, he found that the seventh ancient book was actually an album.

Album is a form of mounting of calligraphy and painting works, and it is also one of the traditional forms of ancient book binding in China. Albums of calligraphy and painting appeared in the Song Dynasty under the influence of book albums. As a kind of calligraphy and painting sketch, its size is not large, easy to create, easy to preserve, and it is deeply loved by calligraphers, painters and collectors.

found out that it was this album, Chu Chen opened it curiously and looked at it, this one. The surprise in his heart is not to mention. Fortunately, his reaction speed is fast. Hurriedly pretended to be very casual and finished the things, and then looked through the remaining three things again.

What made Chu Chen a little surprised. The last one was actually a notebook written by someone, and the handwriting on it made him feel a little familiar, which surprised him.

Of course, at this moment, it is obviously not the time to think, Zhu Dafu and the others have already selected the things, and the transaction has been completed.

As for the price, it is actually about the same as the stall owner estimated just now. It looks like less than 100 yuan, but Zhu Dafu won't pay for Ji Wanyou's money, and in the end, the stall owner insisted on asking for 200 yuan for Ji Wanyou's things, and Ji Wanyou could only swallow his anger because he had a handle in the stall owner's hands.

"Boss, these books of yours are ordinary engraved copies. Can it still be worth eight hundred? Chu Chen didn't take that notebook to talk about it, he was afraid that because of such an accident as the notebook, the other party would look at these books again and find that the album was extraordinary.

Ji Wanyou's choice. There is basically no cost to the stall owner, and he is in a very good mood after earning two hundred yuan. In addition, he had roughly flipped through the above books, and knew that such ordinary goods were not worth much. So he smiled and asked, "Then how much do you want?" ”

"Two hundred!"

"It's not going to work!" The stall owner shook his head again and again and said, "Two hundred is too little, not enough for my capital." At least six hundred! ”

"Boss, these things of yours are so ordinary, if I didn't like to collect books like this, I really wouldn't buy such things, so let's add another forty."

"No, no matter how good this thing is, it is also from the Qing Dynasty, at a price like yours, this business will definitely not be done, if you really want it, I will count you as five hundred ......"

Next, after some bargaining, the price was set at three hundred and two.

After paying, Chu Chen smiled jokingly at the stall owner, then took out the album and handed it to Zhu Dafudao:

"Uncle Fu, how about you take a look at this album?"

Zhu Dafu originally said to Chu Chen that it was a little strange that he liked to collect ancient books, but seeing this situation, he still didn't understand, Chu Chen was likely to have missed it again, so he hurriedly took the album into his hand.

This is a folded album, there is no writing on the cover, Zhu Dafu carefully opened the album, and when he saw the contents inside, he suddenly stared at the boss, and his face showed a look of disbelief, and then he raised his head and asked Chu Chen in shock: "This is Tang Yin's "Falling Flower Poems"? ”

"What?"

"Tang Yin's "Falling Flower Poems"?" When the people around heard that it was actually Tang Bohu's thing, they hurriedly surrounded it, vying to watch it.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen secretly said "mistake", the reason why he took out the things now was also to stimulate this stall owner who wanted to "touch porcelain" and let him accept a lesson. However, he forgot about it, and others were not used to seeing such good things as he did.

Fortunately, this booth is relatively remote, and there are not many people around, Zhu Dafu saw that the scene was a little out of control, so he hurriedly closed the album and hugged the thing in his arms.

At this time, Qiao Qingtai hurriedly urged: "Let's go!" Let's go back and talk about it! ”

Everyone agreed, so they immediately squeezed out of the crowd and walked back quickly.

As soon as Chu Chen and the others left, an old man who was nearly sixty years old came on the back foot, and he saw that many people were sighing "It's a pity", so he asked curiously: "What's wrong, what's going on?" ”

One of them knew the old man and explained, "It's An Lao! Just now, Meng Yi took out a copy of Tang Yin's "Falling Flower Poems" here......"

Before the man could finish speaking, the old man exclaimed, "What, what you said is true? ”

The man shook his head: "I don't know if it's real or not!" ”

Someone next to him said: "I think it's very likely, you don't know, that young man is not simple, if I'm not mistaken, he should be the expert named Chu Chen who has been on Beijing TV." ”

"Ahh As soon as you say this, I really think about it, it seems that it is really him, I heard that this person's level is very high, and he is also the proud protégé of Liu Lao in the capital......"

Hearing this, the old man seemed very anxious, and hurriedly chased in the direction where Chu Chen left.

At the same time, the stall owner was completely stunned, he instinctively thought that Chu Chen wanted to give him a set, so no matter what, he wouldn't believe it. But in the end, someone said that Chu Chen was the expert who had been on Beijing TV, and he remembered that it seemed that this was really the case.

Knowing such a situation, he no longer knew what to say, and said secretly: "Could it be that I really have to see a shocking leak, how is this possible?" It's impossible...... It's impossible! ”

Thinking of the end, the stall owner couldn't help but yell.

"Go, go! This guy must have gone crazy! ”

Seeing the stall owner's hideous expression, someone hurriedly urged his friend to leave quickly, and everyone also avoided it and scattered.

Not long after Chu Chen and the others left, Meng Yixian saw Ji Wanyou, who was still following them, and said with disgust: "What are you still following?" ”

Ji Wanyou was slightly stunned, and then he opened his mouth, but found that he really didn't have any suitable reason.

"Wanyou, you can go back first!" Ji Haoliang also spoke, at this time, he had already realized that it was very likely that Ji Wanyou was also involved in today's incident, but he was still in the way of face, so he was not polite to Ji Wanyou now.

When Ji Wanyou heard this, he could only say goodbye and leave, and when he walked to a place where Chu Chen and the others couldn't see him, he spat fiercely in the direction of Chu Chen and the others: "A group of ungrateful guys, if it weren't for me, how would you have a chance to pick up the leak...... Ay! If I knew that, why didn't I read those books first......"

Ji Wanyou was envious and jealous there, and as soon as he walked on his front foot, the old man chased after him.

Hearing the old man's shout, Chu Chen and the others turned around, and when he ran in front of him, Meng Yixian asked with a smile:

"I said Lao An, what's wrong with you?"

The old man gasped for a few breaths, and after a while, he raised his head and said, "But I'm tired to death, oh! Who am I, it turned out to be Lao Zhu and Lao Qiao! This must be Liu Lao's senior apprentice, Chu Chen? ”

It turned out that the old man's name was An Gongshi, who opened an antique shop not far away, and he was also an old friend with Zhu Dafu and others.

After everyone exchanged a few words, An Gongshi hurriedly said: "I heard that Xiao Chu just found Tang Yin's "Falling Flower Poems"? Can you show me a little bit of that? ”

"Of course that's fine, but shouldn't we talk about it in another place?" Chu Chen said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, yes......"

An Gongshi nodded again and again, and then led everyone to a nearby teahouse.

After the waiter left, in everyone's expectant eyes, he took out the book of Tang Yin's "Falling Flower Poems" he had just gotten and unfolded it.

In the history of Chinese art, the late Ming Dynasty is a peak, and in the art history of the late Ming Dynasty, Tang Yin is also a peak, Tang Yin, Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, Qiu Ying and known as the "Ming Four Families", moreover, Tang Yin is also the leader of the late Ming Dynasty "Wumen Calligraphy School", the "Wumen Calligraphy School" has a profound influence on the later history of Chinese calligraphy and even today's Wumen calligraphers.

In the general public's impression, Tang Yin seems to be just a "merry genius" who can chant small poems and make small paintings, and this kind of "romantic talent" can be seen almost everywhere in the Jiangnan area during the Ming and Qing dynasties, so it may not be placed in an important position in art history.

However, in fact, Tang Yin is by no means a romantic genius and a small literati in the eyes of ordinary people, but an artist with an independent artistic personality and artistic spirit.

Although later generations called Tang Yin "the first romantic genius in the south of the Yangtze River", in fact, Tang Yin was not really romantic, but experienced bitterness and suffering, Tang Yin was actually an artistic all-rounder who used guò art to carry out spiritual catharsis on his cruel reality and tragic life.

Tang Yin was the first in the township test in his early years, and later was implicated in the fraud case in the field, his reputation was frustrated, and he suffered from family difficulties, and in the second half of his life, he built the "Peach Blossom Nunnery" in the northwest of Gusu City, which was famous for selling literary paintings. Personal frustration prompted him to reluctantly adopt a wild and cynical lifestyle, "uninhibited and quite obsessive", but in fact, he often used poetry, calligraphy and painting to vent his frustration.

However, what is different from other artists is that Tang Yin's poems, calligraphy and paintings are less of the compassion and indignation of other literati, but more expansive, transcendent and leisurely. (To be continued......)
