Chapter 325: Zhang Zeduan's talent
Zhang San naturally didn't ask him to do anything, but said that he would officially take office tomorrow and report to the Zhongke Division, and he came to his home tonight to listen to the teachings, which was also very useful to the matter, and secretly said that Zhang San was sensible, saying that Zhang San would go to him tomorrow.
Zhang San walked out of his house, was stunned on the street for a while, and signaled the monkey to drive Zhang San to Nancheng to see how the situation was over there, if there was no accident, tomorrow Zhang San would start recruiting some people on Taixue's side, just go over there now.
The sky was getting dark, and when Zhang San's carriage passed through Daxiangguosi Street, it was already dark, and to the south, after crossing the Bianhe Bridge, there were more people dressed as scholars on the street.
Zhang San asked the monkey to look at the carriage, and he planned to walk around the neighborhood, but the monkey suddenly said: "Third brother, Brother Qian Jin built a branch of Yixing Hutchison here last month, why don't we go over there!" ”
Zhang San thought about it, so he continued to walk south, turned the corner, and saw a street with brilliant lights and a stream of people, and the sound of selling was endless, and scholars were walking through the street.
Zhang San walked inside, and saw the big red lantern with Yixing Hutchison hanging high in the sky, illuminating the surrounding sky with a touch of red.
Zhang San couldn't hear what they were talking about, looking around, Yixinghe's snack stalls were booming, and the seating area in the middle was full of diners, Zhang San nodded with satisfaction, Qian Jin did a good job.
After reading Yixing Hutchison, Zhang San was not interested in the chess and card rooms and the casino on both sides, walked a few steps, and saw a scholar in the bank arguing with the work in the store, and the scholar was still holding a painting in his hand and was indignant.
Zhang San went in and pretended to be a guest to hear what the two were arguing about, as soon as he entered, there was a job to come over to greet him, Zhang San pointed to the area where he visited the goods and said, "You are busy first, I will look at these things, there is something you want to call you." ”
These things are all dead in the bank, or they haven't paid off the arrears after they expire, Zhang San pretended to look at these things, but in fact he was listening to the dispute between the two, and he saw that the guy was not angry, and he gave the scholar a smile.
The scholar was indeed angry and said: "Why my paintings are not famous, it is clear that you don't know the goods!" ”
The guy smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, what you said is that we are all big and coarse, like calligraphy and painting antiques, we don't accept them, and we can't identify them, or you go to Yonghe on a street to take a look." ”
The scholar said indignantly: "It took me ten days of hard work to paint this painting, why don't you give two pieces of money?" You can't see whether the painting is good or bad, it's not beautiful, such a good painting, put it in your place, if someone falls in love, you can sell it for dozens of times, why are you so brainless. ”
The guy continued to laugh and said: "Yes, I look very beautiful, but the shopkeeper has a rule, this calligraphy and painting is not easy to value, we will not accept it, if we have to sell it, we will increase the price on the basis of the value of the paper, so I can only give you 320 Wen for this painting." ”
The scholar said angrily: "You don't understand, don't you know your shopkeeper either?" Let you ask your shopkeeper to take a look, he wants to say that my painting is not good, I will turn around and leave, if I didn't listen to my classmates say that your bank has a good reputation for good reputation, how would I find it. Go to your shopkeeper. ”
The guy smiled: "Guest, you are embarrassing me, I told you that the shopkeeper is not in the store, or you can sit and drink a glass of water and wait." ”
The scholar complained, "Drink, drink! I've drunk four bowls of water! Four bowls ago you said you would come back later, and now you are still waiting! You dude makes no sense! ”
The two were talking, and a middle-aged man came outside the store, Zhang San knew that this person used to be an account room under Sister-in-law Yang, Xiao Er saw this person come in, pointed and said: "Guest, look, our shopkeeper is here." ”
The middle-aged man saw a scholar hurriedly clasping his fists and asked, "I don't know what advice this son has?" ”
The scholar looked the middle-aged man up and down and said: "You came back just in time, I have a painting here, and I want to die in your place, but your guy only gave three hundred and twenty wen, and they all said that you know the goods, you come to see if my painting is only worth three hundred and twenty wen!" ”
The middle-aged man did not retreat when he heard the smile on his face, took the painting, cleaned up the counter, opened the painting, looked at it, Zhang San also leaned over to take a look, only to see the painting of a lake surrounded by lotus flowers, a memorial arch by the water, a temple. A painting workshop in the lake is dotted with several figures, and a few geese cross the sky in the distance.
Zhang San didn't have any level of appreciation of calligraphy and painting, but he just felt that this painting was still good, the middle-aged shopkeeper frowned after looking at it for a while, sighed and said: "Childe's painting is indeed a masterpiece, but it seems that this payment seems to have been made recently, and I am also lonely and unheard of in the life of this payment, and I ask Childe for guidance." ”
The young man said a little shyly: "This painting was made by me when I returned to my hometown last year on the shore of Daming Lake, how much do you think the store can do?" ”
The shopkeeper shook his head and said: "The painting is a good painting, but presumably Childe also knows that such paintings on the street are as little as one or two hundred Wen, and as much as one or two dollars, Childe's reputation is not obvious, and we can sell it for a consistent amount of money at most, so I am good at making the decision to give Childe a consistent money?" ”
The young scholar's face turned red and said: "My classmates all say that your bank is the most fair, but today it seems that it is just so, if it is not a little tight at hand, I don't want to say that this painting is consistent, even if it is ten times!" ”
The shopkeeper was not angry and said: "Forgive me for being a shallow learner, or you can go to our main store and ask, next to Yixing Hutchison near the vegetable garden of Daxiangguo Temple, there needs to be able to give Gongzi a high price." ”
The scholar said indignantly: "I won't go to your Laoshizi head office either, today I am also blind, I want to exchange the painting for money, and it is your loss not to sell it to you!" You remember that my name is Zhang Zeduan! ”
The shopkeeper was not angry with a smiling face, Zhang San was indeed stunned when he heard this name, he naturally knew who Zhang Zeduan was, but he didn't think about it by such a coincidence, watching him walk out of the store, Zhang San hurriedly followed, wanting to see what he was doing.
Zhang San also had a flash of thought in his mind to call Zhang Zeduan back, praised him a lot, and then scolded his subordinates, saying that they had no eyes, and then drove them out of the store, but Zhang San did not do it.
One is because his shopkeeper didn't do anything wrong, and the guy coped with it very well, if he didn't know Zhang Zeduan, he could only say that they didn't have enough vision, and there was nothing wrong with others, and another Zhang San had no reason not to protect his own people for an outsider, even if he was Zhang Zeduan.
