When they came to the place, Chen Yi and the shopkeeper Xu got out of the carriage, and suddenly a breeze mixed with the smell of the river blew, which made people feel refreshed, and the fatigue of sitting in the carriage for a long time seemed to disappear.

At this time, Shopkeeper Xu glanced around, then pointed to a lively place not far away and said, "Chen Gongzi, that is the place to board the cruise ship, let's go over and wait first." ”

Chen Yi stood on the embankment and looked into the river, there were also some pleasure boats floating in the river, and some large merchant ships could be seen from time to time.

On both sides of the river, there are many shops, it looks like a lively scene, through the map function of the guò identification system, he knows that this river, in fact, is the mother river of the capital, in the Ming Dynasty, it was called the Lugou River or Hunhe River, and in the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed Yongding River.

Now it seems that the river is very calm, but when the rainy season comes, the river will sweep through the surrounding villages and towns like a beast.

The Lugou Bridge, famous for the 77 Incident, is built in the 29th year of the Jin Dynasty, that is, in 1189 AD, and was not completed until 1192 AD.

Chen Yi accompanied the shopkeeper Xu to the gentle slope of the embankment, where many pavilions were built for people to rest, and most of them were literati scholars with folding fans or belts.

On the cruise ship not far away, there are still laughter and laughter from time to time, and there is a peaceful appearance of singing and dancing.

It's just that Chen Yi knows that although the Wanli Dynasty was prosperous for a while, it was a turning point for the Ming Dynasty from prosperity to decline. From next year. The Wanli Emperor would indulge in wine. Nearly thirty years of abandonment of the government began.

Of course, this doesn't have much to do with him, he came here just to quietly follow Lu Zigang to learn the secret method of Kunwu Dao, and he is actually not interested in changing history.

Coming to this pavilion land, Shopkeeper Xu looked around, as if he was looking for those sons of the family who participated in the antique party. However, after looking around, I didn't find that those sons of the family were more arrogant than the other, so how could they come here in advance.

Of course, if he had shown these sons of the family this calligraphy of Chen Yi before, it would be a different matter.

At this moment, he seemed to have discovered something, and there was a hint of surprise on his face, "Hey, Chen Gongzi." Please come with me, I met a fellow pawnshop who was also attending this party. ”

said. Shopkeeper Xu held a box containing calligraphy in his hand, and took Chen Yi to one of the pavilions, "Haha, Shopkeeper Wang, you are also here to participate in the antique party initiated by Wu Gongzi and them." ”

In this pavilion, there were also three or four people sitting, one of them was a middle-aged man with a mustache, hearing the words of the shopkeeper Xu, he looked up, and his face suddenly showed disdain, "Oh, it turned out to be the shopkeeper Xu, you are also here to participate in the antique party, I remember that you participated in it several times before, but it was all in vain, your broken copper and iron, those sons didn't even look at it." ”

"Haha, thank you for the kind reminder, but this time, it's different, I found a good thing." Shopkeeper Xu laughed loudly, the previous few times, he participated in antique gatherings, it was indeed in vain, and the antiques he brought, those sons of the family were not interested, but this time, it will be the time for him to become famous.

Hearing these extremely confident words, Shopkeeper Wang looked at the box in the hand of Shopkeeper Xu with mockery, the box was long-shaped, and it seemed that it was very likely to be something like calligraphy and painting, but for a while, he hadn't heard that this old guy had received any good calligraphy and painting.

"Hehe, shopkeeper Xu also said the same thing a few times ago, I think you may be in this box with calligraphy and paintings, but you can't find Tang Bohu's paintings." Shopkeeper Wang continued to laugh and said.

As the saying goes, peers are enemies, and the pawnshop industry is no exception, in fact, in addition to peers, they also have some other grievances, in the pawnshop industry, if some things can not satisfy the pawnbroker, then they will make some marks on these things, and the pawnshops behind will also give a very low price when they see these marks.

In the previous years, he was on the same street as the shopkeeper Xu's pawnshop, and he made a mark, but because the shopkeeper Xu was kind for a while, he took pity on the poor man and took it at a high price, so they got married.

Although Tang Bohu was a literati of this era, his paintings were very distinctive, of a very high level, and he had outstanding achievements in freehand techniques and opening up a new realm of flower and bird painting, even in this era, his paintings were also very valuable.

What's more, now that Tang Bohu has been dead for a long time, his paintings are even more precious, and there are very few that flow into the people.

Moreover, when Tang Bohu was alive, in order to deal with the painters, he found more people to write for him, and even his teacher Zhou Chen often ghostwrote for him, so the imitation painting and some people forged it, which made some people dare not buy it lightly.

"Haha, Tang Bohu's painting is also a little worse than the one I brought." Shopkeeper Xu laughed again, the calligraphy written by Chen Yi is very Wang Xizhi's true meaning, almost more than some famous calligraphers in the Song Dynasty, if the real competition value, this calligraphy is definitely much higher than Tang Bohu's painting.

This made Shopkeeper Wang a little surprised, what is it that can make this Shopkeeper Xu more confident than Tang Bohu's paintings, "Oh, Shopkeeper Xu, come, come, sit here." In order to satisfy his inner curiosity, the shopkeeper Wang suddenly put down his posture and asked the shopkeeper to enter the pavilion and sit down.

But who knew that after Shopkeeper Xu came in, he didn't sit down first, but invited a young man next to him to sit down first.

This made the shopkeeper show a touch of color on his face, this young man's dress, although it was a little more gorgeous than ordinary people, but it didn't look like a rich kid after all, he didn't care about this young man before, but he didn't expect this shopkeeper to be so polite to him.

Could it be that this young man is the son of a certain family or a prince and nobleman, the heart of the king's shopkeeper is even more suspicious.

"Shopkeeper Xu, I don't know ......who this son is" Now, his curiosity about Chen Yi far exceeded the contents of Xu's shopkeeper's box, so after the two of them sat down, he asked without hesitation.

Shopkeeper Xu smiled, "This is Chen Gongzi, just curious about the antique gathering, so come with me to take a look." ”

Hearing this shopkeeper Xu's obvious lying words, the shopkeeper Wang pursed his lips, but he looked at Chen Yi carefully several times, but he never saw which family Chen Yi was.

And according to his information, there are no high-ranking officials and nobles in this area of the capital, surnamed Chen.

Since the surname Xu didn't want to say it, he was not interested in asking more, so he said hello to Chen Yi, and pointed to the box that the shopkeeper Xu was still holding tightly on his body and said: "Shopkeeper Xu, you said that the things in this box are more valuable than Tang Bohu's paintings, and the ones in it are the authentic works of the people who painted and painted in the previous dynasty." ”

"Hehe, shopkeeper Wang, this is a secret, when the princes come and the party begins, you will know." Shopkeeper Xu showed a thick smile on his face.

didn't get any information, and the shopkeeper Wang also showed a touch of coldness on his face, "Oh, in that case, I want to see what is in the shopkeeper Xu, and we will come later, the pavilion is too small, so please move the shopkeeper Xu elsewhere." At the end of his words, he did not hesitate to give the order to evict the guest.

"You ......" Shopkeeper Xu didn't expect this guy to be so ruthless, he didn't care, the problem was Chen Yi beside him.

Chen Yi smiled, patted the shoulder of the shopkeeper Xu, slowly stood up, and walked towards the outside of the pavilion.

But he also understands, after suppressing it for so long, and now that he finally got a good thing, how can he do it without showing it off.

Walking out of the pavilion, Chen Yi didn't plan to go anywhere else, standing on a river embankment outside, looking at the ancient and pure river, and the shopkeeper Xu was also following Chen Yi on the side.

In his opinion, Chen Yi's every move revealed a kind of demeanor of a master outside the world, if he was a child of another family and suffered the humiliation of the king's shopkeeper just now, he would have been angry and showed his identity.

When it was almost nine o'clock, several more gorgeous carriages drove up on the embankment above, and then several young men in gorgeous costumes came down, each holding a folding fan, and there were servants beside him, who looked like the sons of the family.

Shopkeeper Xu, who had been paying attention to the situation over there, suddenly showed surprise on his face when he saw these young people, and hurriedly said to Chen Yi: "Chen Gongzi, those young people are here, let's go and greet them." ”

"Don't worry, offering hospitality now doesn't bring any substantial benefits, not to mention that we have what they want in our hands, so why bother to be attentive." Chen Yi didn't even turn his head, and said indifferently.

It's just that in his mind, the identification information of these sons and brothers has been passed to his mind, and after reading it, he sighed and smiled, if he is really a gentleman, he often lingers in the place of wind and moon, and the health of these people is already less than eighty.

After listening to Chen Yi's words, Shopkeeper Xu thought about it for a while, but he was not as calm as Chen Yi in his heart, and looked over there from time to time. (To be continued......)
