Volume 3 Pen Knife Spring and Autumn Chapter 169 One shoulder and two sleeves of the moon

"Yang Gong, I can tell you in advance, what about this gift...... I bought it for eleven taels of silver, so I don't know if it's real or not, but in my opinion, even if it's fake, it's worth the price, and if it's true, it's even better, hehe...... It's definitely a big leak! Cao Yi said with a smug smile when he said this.

"Oh? Listening to what you say, it seems very likely that such a thing is still a precious antique? Yang Gong guessed.

Cao Yi sold it and said with a smile: "Yang Gong, I'll open it for you, I can't judge it well, boy, I still want Yang Gong to take a look at it with your palm and see if it's true or fake." ”

"Okay, then the old man can take a good look at it, and I can't live up to your expectations." Yang Gong said with a smile.

Cao Yi removed the silk sleeve of the scroll, revealing the scroll inside.

"Yo! It seems that it is still calligraphy and painting, which happens to be the field that the old man is familiar with, Zhaozheng Shinephew, you can be regarded as finding the right person. ”

Cao Yi smiled, spread the scroll on the table on the side, Yang Gong and Yang Xingwen also leaned forward, carefully observed, as Cao Yi spread out more, Yang Gong's facial expression also changed from a calm face at the beginning, to a bright look in the middle, and then to a face full of excitement at the end, because he saw the seal and the inscription at the end of the painting.

Cao Yi has also been observing and paying attention to Yang Gong's expression, and now he naturally knows that this painting is really Li Sixun's authentic work.

"This ...... This "Picture of the Bright Moon and Clear Wind in the Mountains" ...... Definitely the real work of General Da Li! Sure enough, the pen is strong, the reason is far-sighted, the handwriting is very fine, this painting really deserves the praise of 'turbulent and turbulent, ethereal clouds, beautiful and fairy things, and the seclusion of rock ridges'! Yang Gong said excitedly.

Yang Xingwen stood aside, but also nodded from time to time, because his father has always liked calligraphy and painting, and loves to collect, so Yang Xingwen has been exposed to painting and calligraphy since he was a child, and he also has his own appreciation level for calligraphy and painting. This kind of clumsy painting method happens to be Li Sixun's unique technique.

Yang Gong turned his head excitedly, looked at Cao Yi, and said with some reluctance: "Cao Yi, I am sure that this painting must be Li Sixun's authentic work, and its value is not in ...... Not under six thousand taels of silver, you ...... Let's take it back! ”

"Yang Gong, what are you talking about, I don't understand, boy, this painting was bought by me from the Treasure Shop for eleven taels of silver, and now it has been given to Yang Gong you, as for whether this painting is true or false, how much it will be worth in the future, it has nothing to do with me, it is all Yang Gong's thing." Cao Yi shook his shoulders and said with a smile.

"This ......" Yang Gong looked at the painting, he really liked this painting and wanted to accept it, but it was indeed because it was too valuable, and he felt that he couldn't accept it, so he was in a dilemma at this time.

"Yang Gong, you call me my nephew, I should call you a world uncle, this painting is the younger generation I paid homage to my elders during the New Year, and I really spent eleven taels of silver to buy it from the treasure shop, if you don't believe Yang Gong, you can go to the treasure shop tomorrow and ask the shopkeeper if it was sold at this price." Cao Yi said sincerely.

"Father, you just accept it, this is also Cao Yi's heart, irrelevant items, regardless of high and low......" It is said that the son of Mo Ruo's father, for Yang Xingwen, he also knows his father's character clearly, at this time, when he saw his father's tangled appearance, he naturally knew that he loved this painting very much, as a son of man, he naturally hoped that his father could be happy and happy, so at this moment he also persuaded his father to accept it.

"That'...... Okay, so the old man will accept it, but I also want to thank your deceased nephew for your kindness. After Yang Gong finished speaking, he seemed to want to salute Cao Yi, but Cao Yi was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Yang Gong, don't you bother me!" "Zero-One Reading Network

At this moment, Cao Yi couldn't guess that the next day Yang Gong really asked people to take this painting to ask the shopkeeper of the treasure shop, whether this painting was sold at the price of eleven taels yesterday, and the fat shopkeeper said at the time: "It was sold for eleven taels, but this lord, once the store sells something, it will not be returned, even if you think he is not worth the money, I will not return the excess money to you." Of course, these words also provoked Yang Gong to shake his head and smile bitterly, this shopkeeper is really illiterate, it seems that Cao Yi did not lie to himself, it was really picked up by eleven taels, not specially purchased at a high price to please himself.

"Yang Gong, in fact, when the younger generation first saw this painting, he didn't see the seal, nor did he see the payment, but he just thought that this painting was very suitable for Yang Gong, so he turned back and bought this painting." Cao Yi said with a light smile.

"Oh? And such things? It seems that this painting is really related to the old man, Zhaozheng nephew, you can tell me, when you looked at this painting from afar, why did you think it was very suitable for me? Yang Gong asked curiously.

Cao Yi pointed to a round of bright moon in the picture and a few wisps of wind depicting the gesture with lines and said: "The younger generation just saw the bright moon and the breeze from a distance, and felt that it was very suitable for Yang Gong You, originally the younger generation wanted to inscribe it on it to Yang Gong, but after seeing the seal and the payment closely, the younger generation did not dare to inscribe, for fear that his poor handwriting would stain such a good painting, so he did not inscribe it." ”

"Brother Yi, I heard my father say that you are not only full of poetry and books, brilliant in writing, but also very good at writing, proficient in various schools of calligraphy, and have reached the realm of great success, and can even create your own penmanship, you actually said that your handwriting is clumsy! It's really too modest, but I'm curious about what words you originally wanted to inscribe, tell it to my brother......" Yang Xingwen asked curiously, he wanted to know what Cao Yi wanted to inscribe, aside from the fact that his father originally liked calligraphy and painting, just from the bright moon and breeze in this painting of "Bright Moon and Clear Wind in the Mountains", he couldn't think of why Cao Yi said that these two things were very suitable for his father.

Cao Yi smiled when he heard this, pondered for a while, and said: "Otherwise, I'll write it out, it's hard to say that Yang Gong and Brother Xingwen will know the meaning when you write it." ”

Yang Gong and Yang Xingwen naturally said yes, Yang Xingwen even brought the four treasures of the study from the side and personally gave Cao Yi ink, he also wanted to see what Cao Yi's calligraphy was like, worthy of his father's praise. He has seen Cao Yi's poetry, whether it is "Water Tune Song Head" or "Autumn River Flower Moonlight Night", or even "Drunken Flower Yin" sung in Hangzhou later, Yang Xingwen feels that he will give him another ten years to read and precipitate, and he can't write such amazing and brilliant poems, so he thinks that Cao Yi's title of Jiangning's first genius is well deserved, as for his father's statement that Cao Yi's calligraphy is comparable to his poetic talent, he has not seen it, so he wants to see what Cao Yi's pen and ink are like.

However, Cao Yi didn't think as much as Yang Xingwen thought, he just dipped himself in ink, and wrote the eight words of upright and righteous Ling Ran on rice paper with a pen in Song style, which had not yet been published in this era: "One shoulder of the bright moon, two sleeves of the breeze."

Yang Xingwen whispered a few times, as if he didn't know what this sentence meant, looked at these eight words, and then looked at Cao Yi, who had been smiling after writing the words, but still didn't see the meaning.

And Yang Gong also watched for a long time, he didn't know what Cao Yi wrote these eight words at first, after all, one shoulder of the bright moon, two sleeves of the breeze allusion is from the later Ming Dynasty Yu Qian, in today's Dayan Dynasty, naturally there is no such saying, but the idiom allusion is late, but the artistic conception and meaning are the same since ancient times, and after Yang Gong silently recited it a few times in his heart, he suddenly thought of the meaning of Cao Yi's eight words, and now showed a very happy smile on his face, and said to Cao Yi: "Zhaozheng nephew, I like these eight words of yours very much, and I will frame these eight words and hang them in the middle of the main hall, always warn myself! ”

Yang Xingwen on the side was even more shocked at this time, although he didn't know what these eight words meant, but he knew the weight of these eight words in his father's heart, otherwise he would definitely not frame the words just written on rice paper and hang them in the middle of the main hall.

"Father, brother, what kind of dumb riddle are you two playing? I still don't know what those eight words mean? Yang Xingwen said anxiously.

However, Yang Gong didn't care about his son, he was still concentrating on appreciating these eight words, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

Cao Yi smiled at Yang Xingwen and said, "Brother Xingwen, these eight words actually mean literally, the bright moon is white, and the breeze is clear. If an official has nothing but moonlight on his shoulders and nothing but the breeze in his sleeve, doesn't it mean that he is very honest and honest, I saw this picture of the bright moon and the clear wind, and I thought of these eight words, so I think it is very suitable for Yang Gong! ”

Yang Xingwen only realized after listening to Cao Yi's explanation, and then read these eight words at this time, it is the same more he reads it, the more he likes it, and the more he reads it, the more he feels, he bows respectfully to Cao Yi, and pleads: "Brother Yi, you can write another picture of these eight words, I will also frame it and bring it back to Hangzhou to hang in my room, always remind myself!" ”
