Chapter 17 This place of peace is my home

"This ...... Where did you find it? How much did it cost? ”

When Mr. Wen Duan asked this sentence, the spring breeze was slowly blowing into Yangzhou City.

The spring breeze is like a touch of paint, and wherever it passes, it will be slowly smeared with vitality and brilliance.

It blows through the cornices and corners of the people in Hangzhou. So the swallow under the eaves deftly flew out of the nest and went out to feed. As the so-called February spring breeze is like scissors.

It blows through the willows of the Su Causeway of West Lake. So those clinging willow branches swayed like a woman's waist, swaggering, lingering. As the saying goes, I have been in the past, and the willows are still around.

It blew through the Longlong tea field on the edge of the West Lake. So the girls in the tea house got up in the morning to prune the branches, laughed and played on the mountain road, and occasionally picked some wild flowers in the mountains. As the so-called Mo flowers bloom, they can be slowly returned.

This is the early spring of Jiangzuo.

It's early spring in Hangzhou.

Gu Long said, sword flowers, smoke and rain, Jiangnan.

This is his yearning for the ancient Jiangnan.

And Chu Feng is here, there is a spring breeze, there are willows, and there are Mo flowers that bloom early; There are books, paintings, and long streets are bustling all over the door.

This is the Jiangnan that belongs to Chu Feng alone.

It is enough for him to wander and enjoy Jiangnan for many years.

In such a spring breeze, it is full of resentment, and it will be blown away by this spring. What's more, Chu Feng is Chu Feng, in his world, where are there so many mundane things and mundane things?

"Sir, don't worry about it, it's just a quick get, and it doesn't cost money."

Faced with Mr. Wen Duan's question, Chu Feng replied very lightly: "Anyway, the kid went to confirm that it was indeed not the scholar who came to sell the book. In my opinion, he probably didn't know about it by now. Chu Feng sighed slightly.

Lu Wenduan was speechless when he heard this, he looked up at Chu Feng for a long time, until Chu Feng was a little uncomfortable.

"Sir?" Chu Feng laughed, mildly with some doubts.

"You kid...... It looks as warm as jade, but in fact, there is a lot of careful thinking! The reason why you didn't tell me was because I was afraid that I would go down to sue the official in anger? Or are you afraid that I, an old arm and old leg, will go and smash that store? ”

Chu Feng smiled, scratched his head, and said, "The kid is young, so he really doesn't know much about these things." It's just that I feel in my heart that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and the people who can do this kind of business must have a responsibility behind them. We are small families, we want money but no money, and we have no power, so it's really not good to fight with them...... Of course, this is the kid's mind, I don't know what is right or wrong, so that Mr. can see and laugh. ”

When Chu Feng said, "Small family, if you want money, you don't have money, you don't have power", Mr. Wen Duan's eyebrows moved slightly, but Chu Feng happened to hang his eyes at that time and didn't notice it.

After listening to Chu Feng's discussion, Mr. Wen Duan stroked his beard and said, "The young man is as simple as jade, and he knows a little bit about the world, which is a good thing. What you said is right, the people who have uncovered the second floor, the old man knows it or not, in fact, it can't change anything. Ay! Calligraphy and painting are innocent! Destiny! ”

After that, he sighed again with the fake "Beijing Wine Post".

At this point, this matter can be regarded as revealed, and Chu Feng once again returned to the original small days of watching the store, studying, and traveling.

Naturally, I also remembered the matter of "Beijing Wine Post" in my heart, and I thought that when the scholar came to retrieve the book in a few days, would I tell him that this book was faked, or would I just hide it?

It's not that I want to embezzle the fake, it's just that I didn't recognize it before looking at the other party's appearance. If he didn't know about this matter, the scholar might never find out for the rest of his life, let alone have any joy or sorrow about this matter. But if you know, you will inevitably feel sad and angry, and you don't know what kind of incident will cause later.

This kind of deception has been going on since ancient times. For such imitations...... To be honest, Chu Feng was not completely opposed.

After all, there was no printing technology in this era, and it was difficult for calligraphy and painting works to be passed on. Intellectual property rights are of course very important, but from the perspective of thousands of years, if it were not for the many imitation techniques, many cherished calligraphy and paintings would have been lost.

If nothing else, just take "Lanting Collection Preface" as an example. The book hidden in the Palace Museum in later generations is not the original work of Wang Xizhi, but the Shenlong book, which is a copy of Feng Chengsu during the Tang Shenlong period. Of course, in addition, there are also Chu Suiliang and Yu Shinan copies of various books, which have been passed down to the world. And Wang Xizhi's original work has long been missing.

Without these descriptive editions, the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection would have been nothing more than a few descriptive texts in the discourse of painting and calligraphy, where would today's calligraphy remain.

Of course, there is an essential difference between ordinary copying and counterfeiting. Ordinary facsimiles are simply for learning and preservation. And counterfeiting, especially things like the second layer of "Beijing Wine Post", are purely commercial purposes.

Although the commercial purpose also strengthens the dissemination of calligraphy and painting in a certain sense, there are essential moral problems and cannot be advocated. It's just to tell the truth, who knows how much of the calligraphy and paintings that have really been handed down to future generations are true and how much are false!

Many people who make fake calligraphy and painting are not much inferior to famous calligraphers and painters, but simply pretend to be famous.

This is a thing that people thousands of years later do not understand, not only in terms of calligraphy and painting, but also in literature and scriptures. How many of the so-called Confucian classics and Taoist scriptures were written by later generations under the pretense of the Qin and Han sages, no one can know. However, these so-called "fakes" are not much worse than the real "real products", but the names of the authors have disappeared in the long river of history, and people can't help but sigh.

Chu Feng sometimes thinks that in the eyes of these ancients, works and truths are much more important than personal rise and fall, honor and disgrace!

Of course, Chu Feng himself could not reach that realm. He also likes fame and fortune, but he just thinks that there can't be only these two things in people's lives.

In the future, I may also fight for fame and interests, and leave a name in history in this era of talents, which is naturally what everyone wants!

It's just that, as Dongpo said: this place of peace is my hometown. Now, in this palm-sized shop, Chu Feng is very comfortable and happy, and he can learn a lot of things and experience a lot of warm things every day, which is enough for Chu Feng now.

If you are tired of such days, it is not too late to seek a way out.

This mentality may seem too loose and comfortable, but this is indeed Chu Feng's temperament, something in his bones, and he can't change it.

That's what it means to be complacent.

As for the calligraphy and painting used to exchange for Zhang You's straight fan before, Chu Feng also thought about leaving the money, after all, the work is still playing well, if it can be watched and traded, it seems that he can also improve his reputation.

But after thinking about it carefully, this "empty glove white wolf" incident gave the Li family a heartwarming blow after all, and the Li family couldn't help but be angry. If they found themselves according to the money they left behind, and they were angry with Mr. Wenduan and Brother Zhang, things would not be beautiful. So I gave up.

But how did Chu Feng know that after all, he was a hairy boy who was not deeply involved in the world, and he forgot that in addition to finding people from the payment, there was also a simple small means of "tracking".

Now, Li Liangji and Li Liangchen of the Li family already know where he is, and they don't know what kind of calculation they are making in their hearts!

The mountain rain is coming, but the wind has not yet blown, but Chu Feng is living safely.

In the days that followed, he was once again in a state of obsession.

I got up every day, practiced the five poultry plays, watched the store, studied the "Beijing Wine Post", plus ate and slept, and spent four days in a daze.

The mood of the post these days is completely different from the previous days.

In the first few days, just got the "Beijing Wine Post", Chu Feng was more anxious than excited, although he kept telling himself to be calm and stable, but it was inevitable that he would be a little anxious after putting down the pen, although the speed of entering the country was also a thousand miles a day, after all, he lost Sangyu.

And at this time, I can't help but remember the matter of returning it in my heart, although I don't think about it deliberately, I know in my heart that this book is not my own, and it will be lost immediately. So when I put pen to paper again, I couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Chu Feng shook his head again and again, and Mr. Wen Duan watched from the side, only smiling and comforting: "It is normal for people to suffer from gains and losses, why should Chu Lang be too harsh on himself?" Although you have only borrowed this calligraphy for ten days, the entry of calligraphy is similar to the efforts of others for about half a year, which is already very gratifying, so why force too much. ”

When Chu Feng heard this, he also felt that this was the truth, everything in the world is like this, and he couldn't force it, although his qualifications were not bad, it was impossible for him to become a fat man in one bite. Now that I have practiced like this, I can leave a copy of the best book for study, and then study it slowly in the future.

Moreover, now I still have Zhang Youzhi's seal book fan in my hand, although there are only four words, but if you grind it carefully, you can get a lot of taste.

Books are not expensive, and the most important thing is to fully use and digest them, which is the right way.

So, in the last two days, Chu Feng changed his previous impetuousness, and no longer read at night, only took the "Beijing Wine Post" and tasted it slowly, and finally on the afternoon of the penultimate day, a satisfactory copy was produced, and he gave it to Mr. Wenduan for evaluation.

The old gentleman praised it after looking at it: "Chu Lang's character has already gained nine points of form and three points of style." Ten days' work ends here, which is very good! In the future, if you use this copy to study carefully, you will be the same when you enter the country. ”

Chu Feng was young after all, and he couldn't help but blush slightly when he heard such praise. So I thought to myself: The ancients said that it is extremely difficult to be pampered and not surprised!

In the early morning of the eleventh day, the owner of the "Beijing Wine Post" came to the door early in the morning.

Chu Feng invited people to the inner room to discuss in detail, and Liu Zhengqing naturally agreed.

It's just that as soon as he stepped into Chu Feng's room, Liu Zhengqing looked at the table full of "Beijing Wine Post" and was a little stupid. This...... Which one is the real one?
