Knowing that the chicken bowl cup was an imitation, the shopkeeper Xu couldn't help but look at Chen Yi, this young man's identification was really very correct, at a young age, he could identify such an extremely difficult antique as the chicken bowl cup, which was really unbelievable.

Thinking of this, he shook his head, what happened to Chen Yi, is there still something that people can't believe, just the calligraphy ability is enough to make everyone unbelievable, but the truth is in front of them.

At this time, Zhang Gongzi showed a smile on his face and arched his hand towards Chen Yi, "Chen Gongzi, thank you for your identification, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to change from third to second." ”

Wei Gongzi shook his head and sighed, "You all have benefits, but I don't have anything." ”

"No, no, Wei Gongzi, you don't have nothing, you watched a big show next to you." Hearing Wei Gongzi's words, Wu Gongzi laughed and said.

"So, it's really reasonable, I watched a big show." Wei Gongzi smiled, such a big drama is rare in their circle.

"Gongzi Zhang, you don't have to be polite, I just can't bear to be deceived by Young Master Liu." Chen Yi said with a chuckle.

Wu Gongzi and the others laughed, and then said, "Brother Chen, let's line up to sign up, and we'll go to the tavern to celebrate later." ”

"Wu Gongzi, thank you for your kindness, I still have some things to deal with, and I'll meet again another day." Chen Yi waved his hand and said.

Hearing Chen Yi's words, Wu Gongzi suddenly felt a little pity, and at the same time understood that Chen Yi really had something, not an excuse to refuse their family's invitation, "That's good." Brother Chen. We'll meet again another day. You're good to go. ”

The people next to him saw that Wu Gongzi and the three of them were so polite to Chen Yi, and their hearts were also full of surprise, Wu Gongzi and these guys were famous in the circle, but when facing Chen Yi, they looked like this, it seemed that those rumors were true.

Chen Yi nodded with a smile, and after saying goodbye to Shopkeeper Xu and the others, he embarked on the journey to Lu Zigang's workshop.

The jade wall he carved today. It can be said that this is his first jade carved entirely with ancient jade tools.

In the past few days, he has been riding in a carriage every day, passing through the most prosperous streets in the capital, and he has not seen anyone from Wang Xijue's mansion continuing to search in the city, nor has he seen his wanted portrait posted on the streets and alleys, which made him feel a little relieved.

The woman must have been in a panic and didn't see his face clearly, or in order to protect her daughter's privacy, so she didn't continue the search.

When they came to Lu Zigang's workshop, Lu Zigang and Xu Wei seemed to have just had breakfast. was playing chess in the yard and saw Chen Yi. The two of them couldn't help but put down the chessboard to welcome him.

"Chen Xiaoyou, you are hiding it very deeply, and it makes us so bitter." Xu Wei stood up, shook his head and said with a sigh.

Lu Zigang also nodded, "Little Brother Chen, you are really impressive." ”

Hearing the words of the two, Chen Yi immediately understood, but he deliberately pretended to be confused and said, "Old Xu, Master Lu, what are you talking about, why don't I understand." ”

"Haha, you kid, you're still pretending to be confused, after you left last night, we took a walk around the Yushi, but I heard a lot of rumors, a person named Chen Yi, wrote a superb calligraphy, which is full of Wang Xizhi's true meaning, even Wu Bin, the director of the Ministry of Industry, valued it, and personally sent a housekeeper to invite you to the house as a guest, but I didn't expect to be rejected by you, haha, these things, but the spread is very hot."

Boss Xu said with a smile, especially for Chen Yi who refused the invitation of the household servant, he felt the most refreshed, he himself was most tired of these aristocratic families, including some officials, Chen Yi directly refused, which was really in line with his temper.

Chen Yi smiled, Wu Gongzi's grandfather was indeed the head of the Ministry of Industry, and he also obtained this official position as a painter, and he had seen this name in some history books of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that in the history books, it is recorded that the year of Wu Bin's birth and death is unknown, and the specific active period is in the Wanli period, and this person is still a civilian, grew up in Fujian, left his hometown as a young man, lived in Hangzhou, traveled all over the south of the Yangtze River, and also went to Si Yuanchuan, the most important cities of the Ming Dynasty, Nan Jing and North Beijing, and also traveled frequently, which can be said to have traveled all over most of China.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no academy of painting, and the establishment of court painters generally belonged to other provinces and ministries, and during the Wanli period, Wu Bin was summoned by Mingshenzong and awarded the Zhongshu Sheren, the director of the Ministry of Official Work, and worshiped the inner court as a painter.

"Hey, Chen Yi, is there anyone who can't share my name?" Chen Yi still pretended to be confused and said.

At this time, Lu Zigang said with some unbearable eyes: "Little Brother Chen, there is no need to hide it anymore, except for you, we can't imagine that there is any Chen Yi who will have such a superb level of calligraphy, and he is still unknown." ”

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Mr. Xu and Master Lu, that calligraphy was indeed written by me, and when I took it out at this time, I just wanted to exchange it for some money, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big response." Both Lu Zigang and Lu Zigang talked about this, and Chen Yi admitted his identity with a smile.

Hearing Chen Yi's personal admission, even if he thought it would be Chen Yi before, but now whether it is Lu Zigang or Xu Wei, there is a deep surprise on their faces.

Xu Wei's heart was full of amazement, although he had not seen Chen Yi's calligraphy, but Wu Bin's person, he knew, Wu Bin's painting was very good, otherwise he would not be valued by Emperor Wanli, and his calligraphy would naturally not be bad, so that he could pay so much attention to it, and personally sent a housekeeper to invite Chen Yi, which shows how high Chen Yi's calligraphy is.

Moreover, the price of Chen Yi's calligraphy has reached 5,000 taels of gold, which is simply more valuable than Tang Bohu's paintings, and the people of Wu Mansion have no dissatisfaction, and they directly paid the money happily, which shows the level of Chen Yi's calligraphy even more, as if the people of Wu Mansion are afraid that Chen Yi will regret it.

At this moment, he really wanted to see how much Wang Xizhi's true meaning was in Chen Yi's calligraphy, which made Wu Bin value it so much, and also mobilized the power of the entire family to spread the calligraphy gathering ten days later for Chen Yi.

And Lu Zigang's heart was full of bursts of surprise and disbelief, once, he thought that he was the pride of the sky, an incomparable master, but in front of Chen Yi, he seemed to feel that he was much worse.

Chen Yi's jade carving level, although it is a little different from him, but it is made up for by the spirituality, and now Chen Yi's calligraphy is so good, and he, but only jade carving can be handled, in terms of ability, Chen Yi has surpassed him.

At this moment, the arrogance in his heart made him still have some doubts about Chen Yi, is the calligraphy level really so superb for such a young person.

There are not a few calligraphy and painting literati he knows, but most of them have made achievements in painting, and as for calligraphy, there are few who can compare to Liao Liao, who is painting.

Xu Wei looked at Chen Yi and said impatiently: "Chen Xiaoyou, I don't know if you can write a few lines now, let us appreciate it, I also love calligraphy very much." ”

Chen Yi smiled slightly, "Elder Xu, since you have a request, then I will dare to show ugliness in front of your elder." ”

"Haha, Chen Xiaoyou, don't say such things, I think when your calligraphy is written, my words are probably a little shameless, Zigang, go to the study to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Xu Wei laughed loudly, and then said to Lu Zigang.

Lu Zigang nodded, with some expectation and some doubt on his face, "Senior Brother Wen, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone have already been prepared, just waiting for Little Brother Chen to show calligraphy." ”

Subsequently, Chen Yi followed Lu Zigang and Xu Wei to the study, in this study, there are also some paintings, it seems that some of them are made by Xu Wei, and similarly, there are some jade carved by Lu Zigang in some tables and cabinets next to it, which makes the style of the whole study rise a lot.

After coming to the study, Chen Yi spread out a piece of rice paper, then studied the ink, and already thought about what to write in his heart.

After studying the ink, he picked up the brush and began to write on the paper, his movements were gentle, but the words he wrote gave people a sense of strength through the back of the paper.

After a few minutes, Chen Yi wrote his name at the end, took out a seal from his arms, lightly stamped it, and then put the pen away.

At this time, Xu Wei and Lu Zigang hurriedly stood in front of the table and watched Chen Yi's calligraphy, which was inscribed with a famous poem by the famous Buddhist master of the Tang Dynasty and the sixth ancestor Huineng, named Huineng.

Bodhi has no tree, the mirror is not a platform, there is nothing originally, where to stir up dust.

At the beginning of their viewing of calligraphy, they felt a strong atmosphere of peace from above, the font, the rhyme, it can be said that it is exactly the same as Wang Xiyi, which is full of Wang Xizhi's true meaning.

And this peace, and the poem of the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, are perfectly integrated, so that the whole calligraphy is full of a sense of peace that calms people's hearts.

Xu Wei showed a look of shock on his face, he finally understood why Chen Yi's calligraphy could be so valued by Wu Bin, the calligraphy level of this poem alone was enough to see many calligraphers he had seen copying Wang Xizhi.

In this piece of calligraphy, the true meaning of Wang Xizhi is extremely rich, just like Wang Xizhi's authentic handwriting, and these words are written from the pen of a young man.

He copied Wang Xizhi for more than ten years, but the words he wrote were less than one-tenth or two-tenth of Chen Yi's.

That kind of peaceful atmosphere made him infected, and the chaotic feelings in his heart gradually calmed down. (To be continued......)
