Chapter 186: A priceless dowry - calligraphy and painting

In the expectant eyes of everyone, Li Hui took out a third thing, which was a roll of bamboo slips, but it looked very simple at a glance, as if carrying the weight and vicissitudes of history. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

With the experience of the past, everyone did not dare to underestimate this thing, and quietly waited for Li Hui's introduction, Li Hui straightened his collar, and opened his mouth to live up to expectations, and one mouth almost made Zhen Yi not stand firm:

"This is the first "Guan Ju" of Xuanni's public book "Poems".

"Huh?!"

"What? Did you hear that right? …… Xuan Ni Gong? ā€

"Bamboo slips that have been preserved for more than 600 years?"

……

Baocheng Xuanni Gong, this is the first title posthumously given to Confucius in the first year of Emperor Ping of the Han Dynasty (the first year of AD), "Baocheng" is the name of the country, "Xuanni" is the nickname, and "Gong" is the title. The descendants of Confucius were therefore also named "Praise Cheng Hou".

Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented Dong Zhongshu's suggestion of "deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", Confucius, as the "supreme saint of Confucianism and Taoism", has naturally risen in status.

Today, although it is not as good as the peak comment of "Dao Crown Hundred Kings, Ten Thousand Masters Watch" in later generations, it is undoubtedly the most respected great sage at present.

The recompilation of the "Six Classics" in his twilight years was originally one of Confucius's most outstanding achievements. His handwriting, and the "Poems", one of the Six Classics. For any scholar, it is undoubtedly as holy as the Bible, and its value is simply incalculable.

Zhen Yi suddenly broke the silence in the room, it turned out that he accidentally pulled off two of his beards, and couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Zhen Yi trembled and cautiously opened the bamboo slip with a pilgrimage-like mood, which was written in ancient seal script:

Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman...... Jagged wattle, left and right. My Fair Lady, bells and drums.

The font is unpretentious and inclusive.

Calligraphy is integrated with the perseverance, courage and enterprising of Confucianism, but also contains the blandness, dispersion and quiet leisure of Lao Zhuang, and often in a way that does not seek rich changes, omitting the glitz of the world in the movement of the pen in order to seek the true taste of emptiness.

Seeing it forgetful, it is worthy of the true work of a saint.

Zhen Yi's hands couldn't help but tremble, and he muttered to himself:

"This ...... It's too precious...... It's precious! ā€

Li Hui smiled indifferently, and waited until Zhen Yi had calmed down before Shi Shiran spoke:

"Now I'm going to introduce the fourth one to the head of the house...... As you may have guessed, the first three items are "piano, chess, and books", and the fourth is naturally painting. ā€

Everyone's eyes turned to Li Hui with anticipation, after all, today he took out three priceless treasures in one go, as the bargaining chips for the finale, it must not be bad.

Li Hui gave an order, and the four strong men "hummed" and laboriously lifted the last thing from the box, and Li Hui peeled off the wrapped brocade layer by layer, gradually revealing the true face of Lushan.

"Hmm...... Tortoise shell? ā€

"What a big tortoiseshell!"

"There seems to be a picture and a word behind the tortoise shell......"

……

The tortoise shell is the size of an adult's upper body, covered with cracked lines, forming a clear and vague ancient pattern, full of the vicissitudes of time, and I don't know how many years it has existed in the world.

The first one looks quaint and unpretentious, but you're still firmly caught by him for all his attention, as if by magic. I don't know what it is, but everyone agrees at first glance that this must be a great treasure.

Zhen Yi couldn't help but ask: "Dare to ask ...... this?"

Li Hui's face was straight, and he recited in a subdued voice:

"King Fuxi is in the world, and the dragon and horse go out of the river, so he draws gossip, which is called the river map. Fuxi De is in the world, the sky should be written by birds and beasts, and the earth should be written by Hetuluo, which is the "Yi". ā€

"Hiss ......"

There was a gasp in the room, and everyone was speechless in shock.

Zhen Yi couldn't stand anymore, held the wall with his right hand, and said in a trilling voice:

"This ...... This is...... Be...... River Chart? ā€

Li Hui nodded silently, Zhen Yi almost fell down, the housekeeper hurriedly supported him, and asked with concern:

"Master, are you alright?"

Hearing Li Hui's words, everyone stared closely at the picture on the tortoise shell, countless cracks and unpredictable trajectories were running and turning, and the heavens and the earth were unobstructed, all-encompassing. The more you look at it, the more mysterious it becomes, reflecting endless possibilities......

Zhen Yi couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Yi. The "Dictionaries" says: It is a natural god, and a saint is it; Heaven and earth change, and the saint dies; The sky is like seeing good and evil, and the saint is like it; The river comes out of the "map", Luo out of the "book", and the sage is the ...... Unexpectedly, there really is such a thing in the world. ā€

Zhen Yi gasped and asked Li Hui: "How can the little girl be worthy of Zhang Gongzi's appointment with such a divine object?" ā€

Li Hui replied respectfully: "My family master has admired Miss Zhen Si for a long time. Ask me to bring a sentence to Miss Four to prove her heart. ā€

Zhen Yi hurriedly said, "Please speak." ā€

Li Hui recited affectionately: "The earthly world is three thousand prosperous, and it is a snap of a finger. A hundred years later, it's just a handful of yellow sand. May the three thousand prosperity be endless. Spend your life looking for a loved one. Ren Er's golden jade is picturesque, not as good as the cinnabar between her eyebrows. ā€

Zhen Yi was silent, couldn't I imagine that Zhang Fan was still a lover, didn't he love the country and the beauty? However, I was relieved to think that most of the heroes of the past and present were lovers.

Of course, if Zhen Yi knew the truth, he would definitely not think so, and it is estimated that tears must have fallen.

Because of the four kinds of "qin, chess, calligraphy and painting", except for "Lu Qi", which is real, the rest are all high imitations produced by the system, including the jade of the chessboard and the pearls of the chess pieces are cheap artificial jade and artificial pearls, because Zhang Fan bullied the people of the Han Dynasty and couldn't imagine that pearls and jade could be artificial, so he naturally dared to mix up pearls.

As for the so-called "Confucius Handwritten Bamboo Slips" and "River Map" systems, they are indeed available, but the price of the original is astronomical. No matter how stupid Zhang Fan is, he will not buy the real one as a dowry, anyway, they have never seen it, and this ninety percent high imitation is more than enough to deceive them.

Why did Zhang Fan do this?

Isn't that obvious? Zhang Fan urgently needs money to fight, and he needs a lot of money, and the more the better. Although the Zhen family is very rich, they have to be willingly taken out by their father-in-law!

In contrast to the situation in the 21st century, there is a tradition of generous marriage in ancient China, which means that the dowry of the woman's parents is usually much more than that of the man's parents.

In fact, the family status of a woman in feudal society was mainly determined by her dowry. The average commoner daughter can't marry because she is ugly, but because the woman's parents can't afford to buy a dowry.

Zhen's family, as a well-known giant, can lose anything, and must not lose face. If you really accept Zhang Fan's "priceless" dowry, this dowry will be made up even if you smash the pot and sell iron!

……

Seeing Zhang Fan's "sincerity", at this time, most of the balance in Zhen Yi's heart was already in favor of Zhang Fan, but the other party was the Yuan family of the fourth and third princes after all, and there was still a trace of swaying in his heart.

Li Hui was deeply aware of his thoughts, and decided to make the final killer move, and whispered to himself:

"There are many people who put the icing on the cake, and there are few people who send charcoal in the snow."

A word wakes up the dreamer.

Zhen Yi was like an empowerment, and suddenly became enlightened.

That's right! Yuan's roots are deep and leafy, like the sun in the sky, there is everything, no desire and no desire. Even if he climbs up on his own, who will treat him differently?

But Zhang Fan is different. The foundation is shallow, such as the sun rising, it is the time to need support, today to send charcoal in the snow, the other day to the other party to jump into the dragon gate, will you still treat yourself?

Those who steal the hook will be punished, and those who steal the country will be punished.

As a qualified businessman, earnings are always the number one criterion. Is it a big benefit from sending charcoal in the snow, or is it a big benefit from icing on the cake? Do you still need to ask?

With the idea set, Zhen Yi cleared his throat, "Ahem...... It seems that Zhang Gongzi is obviously more sincere. In this case, I decided to match the little girl Zhen Mi to Zhang Fan's son. As for Yuan Xi's son, it seems that he has nothing to do with the little girl......"

"Thank you, master." Li Hui smiled and slammed to the ground.

"Zhen Yi, Zhang Fan...... You guys are so nice! Dare to compete with the Yuan family, have the courage! Hum! We'll see! ā€

Xu You swept over the two of them hatefully, flicked his sleeves angrily, and turned around with his entourage and left...... (To be continued.) )
