Chapter 949: Private Auction (3)

"Mr. Chen, you're welcome, please." Luchino said with a smile and pointed to the dish that had just been served.

Others may despise Chen Yi because he is young, but he will not, in his understanding, Chen Yi only took a year or two to have his current achievements, basically by virtue of his own ability, and even the general secretary of Huaxia personally met Chen Yi, which already shows that the future of this young man is absolutely unlimited.

Chen Yi gently tasted the Chinese dishes on the table, and couldn't help but nod with surprise on his face, in terms of the ability of these chefs, they had already reached the level of intermediate cooking skills, of course, there were no special functions in his cooking skills.

This time, there was not too much big fish and meat, those things were all things that the rich were tired of eating, and basically what they ate were some local Italian flavors.

"Mr. Chen, perhaps the most Western restaurants you have seen are opened by French, but I want to tell you here that the mother of Western food is our Italian cuisine, and these dishes, just like our art, fashion and automobiles, come from elaborate production, and it is precisely because of our influence that European and American countries have developed a variety of Western food factions such as French food and American food, which is also the origin of our mother of Western food." While eating the meal, Luchino introduced their Italian cuisine to Chen Yi.

Hearing Luchino's words, Chen Yi somewhat agreed, the Italian food he ate here was indeed better than what he had eaten in some French restaurants before, of course, there may also be a chef factor.

After a dinner, more than half an hour had passed, at the end of the dinner. Everyone picked up a glass of wine. Touched each other. Then I tasted it slowly.

"Mr. Chen, I heard that your calligraphy ability is extraordinary, I don't know if you can write a calligraphy for me, of course, in return, you can auction any item at this auction, and I will pay the price." After tasting the wine, Luchino said to Chen Yi with a smile.

Chen Yi couldn't help but smile. Let yourself take a picture of an object at will, this Luchino is really atmospheric, "This time I came to the castle and got the warm hospitality of Mr. Luchino, a piece of calligraphy is just a piece of calligraphy, what a worry, but can you really take a picture of any object." In the end, Chen Yi said half-jokingly.

Everyone heard the joke in Chen Yi's words, and Lukino laughed: "Haha, of course it's any item." Even if Mr. Chen took a picture of Michelangelo's work, I would have paid the bill. Luckily I didn't put the castle up for auction, otherwise it would have been a big loss. ”

Chen Yi nodded, "I don't know what kind of calligraphy Mr. Lukino wants me to write." ”

"All along, I also have some research on Chinese culture, which comes from the splendid culture of the East, has attracted my heart, which is also the reason why there are Chinese antiques and cultural relics in my ancient castle, and I heard that Mr. Chen created a kind of calligraphy, I want to write calligraphy, is one of the three major Chinese books of the cold food post, these two poems Su Shi described the scene and meaning, people are very sighing, so I like these two poems very much, since I came to Huangzhou, has passed the three cold food ......."

Lu Chino did not hesitate, and directly said what he was going to write for Chen Yi, and even in the end, he read the two poems directly in Huaxia.

Hearing Lu Chino's very non-standard Chinese language, Chen Yi's heart was not half ridiculed, on the contrary, he was a little proud, it was precisely because of the splendor of Chinese culture that these foreigners were infected.

In the Chinese line of books, occupy the highest position is the world's three major line of books, this is because these three lines of books have the praise of later generations, the first line of books is naturally the Eastern Jin Dynasty calligrapher, the book saint Wang Xizhi's "Orchid Pavilion Preface", the predecessors to "the dragon jumps the gate of heaven, the tiger lies in the wind" to describe its words as strong and handsome.

It's just that, like Wang Xizhi's other calligraphy, this calligraphy has only been handed down by later generations, and the original handiwork has disappeared from history.

The second largest book in the world is Yan Zhenqing's "Manuscript for the Sacrifice of Nephews" in the Tang Dynasty, which is written vigorously and unrestrainedly, and the last third major book is Su Shi's "Huangzhou Cold Food Post" that Lu Jinuo said just now.

This calligraphy has been handed down, and is now hidden in the Palace Museum of Treasure Island, when Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou because of the largest literary prison in the Song Dynasty, and made two five-word poems in the third year of the Cold Food Festival, which is a poem of rejuvenation, and is the sigh of life of Su Shi who was demoted to the Cold Food Festival of the third year of Huangzhou.

The desolation and affection in the poem express Su Shi's melancholy and lonely mood at this time, and the calligraphy of this poem is also in this mood, with a feeling, the whole calligraphy ups and downs, brilliant, unrestrained, and no ridiculous brush.

"Mr. Luchino, I have never seen the authentic handwriting of Su Shi's cold food post, so I can only write it in my calligraphy." Chen Yi pondered for a moment, and then said, he has not been to Treasure Island, so he has not seen the authentic handwriting of this cold food post, so naturally he can't copy the handwriting that is very similar to the real one.

Lu Chino laughed, "Mr. Chen, what I need is not the calligraphy you copied, but the calligraphy you wrote with the style of zào you created, so that it is more collectible." ”

Chen Yi nodded, "Okay, please prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”

"Mr. Chen, please move to the study." Lu Chino smiled and led Chen Yi and the others to the study in the ancient castle.

The study space in the castle is also very large, and there are some books and works of art on the cabinet, and the whole study is divided into two rooms by the cabinet, Lu Chino asked everyone to wait in the first room, and then walked into the study with Chen Yi.

In the study room, there is a traditional Chinese bookcase, on which are placed the four treasures of the study, Chen Yi can't help but smile, it seems that this Lu Chino really likes Chinese calligraphy.

"Mr. Chen, please." Lu Chino pointed to the bookcase and made a gesture of invitation to Chen Yi.

Chen Yi slowly walked into the back of the bookcase, looked at the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the bookcase, and nodded slightly, whether it is pen and ink or rice paper, it is of very good quality among the four treasures of the study, as for the inkstone, it is a purple sand inkstone with the imperial inscription of Emperor Qianlong, worth about several million yuan.

Subsequently, after he studied the ink, he put the pen on the ink, and used the pen to write the third line of calligraphy in the world, Su Shi's cold food post.

The full text of the two poems is more than 100 words, the first of which is, "Since I came to Huangzhou, I have passed three cold foods, and I want to cherish spring every year, and I can't regret spring when I go." This year, it rained bitterly, and the autumn was bleak in February. Lying and smelling begonia flowers, mud swallow branch snow. Secretly stealing it, the middle of the night is really powerful. He is a sick young man, and his illness must be white. ”

The second poem reads, "The spring river wants to enter the house, and the rain is coming." The hut is like a fishing boat, misty in the clouds. Blisters boil cold vegetables, and burn wet reeds in broken stoves. That knows that it is cold food, but see black paper. The monarch's gate is nine deep, and the tomb is thousands of miles. It is also like crying poorly, and he can't afford to blow the ashes. ”

It took about ten minutes for Chen Yi to completely write the more than 100 words of cold food post, and in this poem, he also used advanced calligraphy skills and injected aura into it, making the whole calligraphy appear smart and moving.

After writing the cold food post, Chen Yi wrote a note on the back, indicating that it was made by meeting Mr. Luchino, and finally, he stamped his seal, and the whole calligraphy was completed.

Chen Yi had just finished calligraphy, and when he put down the brush, Lu Jinuo next to him couldn't help but come forward to watch, seeing this scene, Chen Yi smiled and gave up his position.

At the first glance of this calligraphy, Luchino's eyes were fascinated, and the whole calligraphy gave people the feeling that it was like a river, continuous and flowing.

He also has a lot of research on Chinese calligraphy, otherwise, he would not have collected so many Chinese cultural relics, and this calligraphy style is indeed something he has not seen in some famous calligraphy cultural relics before, and it can be said that it is really a calligraphy style created by Chen Yi.

In addition to the flowing water, he also felt the unique artistic conception of this calligraphy, just like the artistic conception in the poem, which made people see scenes of sadness, which really made people feel as if they were in the scene, every word, every poem, is full of aura.

This shocked Lucino, calligraphy and painting have a great difference, painting can be a visual image, let people feel the artistic conception in the painting, as well as the author's emotions, while calligraphy, but can only express emotions through guò square characters, sometimes not as appealing as painting.

But in this calligraphy, he was really infected by the poem, which is a kind of gloomy and sad artistic conception, and the calligraphy written by Chen Yi seems to be fused with these two poems of Su Shi.

Su Shi's cold food post is his favorite calligraphy, and he deliberately went to the treasure island several times to appreciate this calligraphy, and he continued to study these two poems.

At this moment, he felt the artistic conception in Su Shi's original handwriting, but the artistic conception written by Chen Yi was a little different from Su Shi's, in the midst of sadness, there was a kind of freedom, a kind of self-confidence, and a touch of hope, this is the feeling that Chen Yi's calligraphy brought him.

There is a certain similarity with Su Shi's, but the feeling is different, Lu Jinuo completely understands why Chen Yi is so young, but he has a great reputation and status in the Chinese calligraphy world, just because Chen Yi's calligraphy level is already the same as some ancient calligraphy.

He felt that his greatest luck in meeting Chen Yi this time was to let him write such a calligraphy, it is conceivable that if this calligraphy appeared at auction, even if he was a famous rich man in Italy, he could not guarantee that he would be able to grab this calligraphy.

Through this calligraphy, Lu Chino can also imagine that Chen Yi in the future will definitely become a brilliant star in Chinese civilization, no, not the future, it is already now. (To be continued......)
