"It turned out to be Pu Ru, I was dazzled for a while, I didn't see it clearly, I made a joke, hehe......" Wang Jincheng embarrassedly found a clumsy excuse, hurriedly changed the topic, and asked Mo Ziming: "How much is this painting?" ”

With a smile on his face, Mo Ziming deliberately called it by the table, and said: "Pu Xinshe's "Autumn Frost Pine and Cypress Map", 1.8 million. ”

Wang Jincheng heard him say the three words "Pu Xinshe" again, his face just recovered a little and stiffened, smiled awkwardly, and asked: "Bingning, look at this "Autumn Frost Pine and Cypress Picture", can you still get it?" ”

Su Bingning just straightened up from Liang Chen's arms, pursed her lips and held back a smile, while raising her hand to comb the long hair that had just been messed up, listening to Wang Jincheng's words and showing off, worried that Liang Chen would be angry, she didn't even care about the politeness she had always maintained on the surface, pulled Liang Chen to the other side, and said in a low voice: "Don't pay attention to him." ”

Seeing this, Wang Jincheng's face was a little stiff, but he didn't know whether it was thick skin or deep affection, and after being stunned in place, he was able to put up a smile again and follow.

Su Bingning saw that Wang Jincheng followed again, no matter how good the tutor was, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and glared at him impatiently, Wang Jincheng said curtly: "I'm not sure about grandpa's preferences, you help him choose a painting, I promise not to speak, just learn from experience......"

Liang Chen stopped Su Bingning, who was still about to speak, squeezed her hand gently, and said with a smile: "Let him see." He naturally understood Wang Jincheng's plan, which was nothing more than to compare prices, pick some thorns, or find some tricks, and wait until Old Man Su's birthday ceremony, and then add oil and vinegar to say something.

The so-called "people are shameless, the world is invincible", Wang Jincheng really wants to be cheeky to follow, Su Bingning really has no good way to take him, he can't make a phone call and call someone to throw him on the street by the neck, right? Seeing that Liang Chen also said the same, he treated him as if he didn't exist, while looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, searching for a style that his grandfather liked, he whispered to Liang Chen about his grandfather's preferences, and as he was talking, he saw Liang Chen suddenly stop and stare at a calligraphy and painting on the wall.

Su Bingning glanced at the painting, and saw that it was a figure painting, the person on the painting was wearing official uniforms, the style should be a Qing Dynasty officialdom figure, holding a book, walking in the bamboo forest to read, the composition of the whole painting is staggered, full of changes, bamboo forest, mountain stones, characters The lines are smooth and round, the colors are elegant and gorgeous, it seems that it should be from everyone's hands, but there is no seal at the place of payment, only the word "Xiao Gu".

In the blank space on the upper right side of the picture scroll, there are two lines of poetry: Looking for a feudal marquis three thousand miles away, who has written history for 10,000 years?

Liang Chen watched silently for a long time, then suddenly turned around and asked, "Second Uncle Mo, how can this painting be sold?" ”

"You want to buy this?"

Mo Ziming glanced at Liang Chen with some surprise, "Do you know who this painting is from and who painted it?" ”

He spoke in a screeching manner, but Liang Chen naturally understood it, and said with a smile: "I don't know who painted it, but I know who painted it." ”

Mo Ziming was not in a hurry to make an offer, but asked, "Tell me about it." ”

Liang Chen said: "'My husband only holds Wu Hook with one hand, and his spirit is higher than that of a hundred-foot building. Who has written history for 10,000 years, looking for a marquis three thousand miles away', this is the poem of Li Hongzhang, a capable minister in the late Qing Dynasty, and the person on the painting is naturally him. ”

"Who has written history for 10,000 years, looking for a marquis ...... 3,000 miles away"

Su Bing condensed it again, glanced at the inscription poem on the painting again, and said a little strangely: "But the inscription on this painting is 'Looking for a feudal marquis three thousand miles away, who has written history in 10,000 years'?" ”

Before Liang Chen could answer, he heard Wang Jincheng, who had just said that he only watched and didn't say it, and sneered: "Able ministers in the late Qing Dynasty? It's a joke, it's the first time I've heard someone call the traitor Li Hongzhang 'a capable minister in the late Qing Dynasty', Grandpa Su's birthday, do you plan to give him a portrait of a national thief at the old man's house? ”

Su Bingning glared at him with a little disgust, "Didn't you stop talking?" ”

Wang Jincheng smiled dryly: "Isn't it strange to me, Li Hongzhang signed the "Treaty of Shimonoseki", "Sino-French New Treaty", "Sino-Russian Treaty", and "Xinchou Treaty", ceded land and paid compensation, lost the country and humiliated power, isn't he still a traitor?" Wang Jincheng himself didn't expect that his historical knowledge was so solid, and he couldn't help but feel a little complacent when he could say in one breath that Li Hongzhang had signed so many traitorous treaties.

He mistakenly read "Pu Xinshe" as "Fu Xinshe", and was sarcastically ridiculed by Liang Chen, and felt a great loss of face.

Su Bingning doesn't know much about history, but he also knows that these treaties on land reparations and loss of power were indeed signed by Li Hongzhang, and it was clearly written in the history books, and he was speechless for a while, and he raised his eyes to look at Liang Chen, but saw that his face rarely showed a strong look of sarcasm: "Everyone knows that Li Hongzhang signed a traitorous treaty, 'Qin Hui, a traitor, Li Hongzhang, a traitor', 'Yang San is dead, Su Chou, Mr. Li Er is a traitor', he has memorized the infamy of 'traitor' for more than 100 years, but everyone knows that Li Hongzhang signed the " Treaty of Shimonoseki", the reparations for the cession of land, how many people have ever wondered if it was his will, and how many people know what he did? ”

He took a deep breath and looked at Wang Jincheng, his expression had regained his calm, but there was some sadness in his eyes, and said: "Everyone knows that he signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, and how many people know that he was shot in the face by the Japanese because he refused to sign?" This shot won the support of public opinion from the European and American powers, and in exchange for Japan's concession to cut 100 million taels of silver, it was this old man who took a shot and saved China 100 million taels of silver. ”

"After signing the "Treaty of Shimonoseki", Li Hongzhang regarded this as a shame for his life, 'the hatred of the Treaty of Shimonoseki, and he vowed not to fulfill his life'! Vowed never to set foot on Japanese soil. In 1896, Li Hongzhang, who had returned from a visit to the United States, passed through Yokohama, Japan, and needed to change ships to return home, but Li Hongzhang refused to go ashore, and in desperation, his entourage could only take a springboard, and Li Hongzhang, who was 73 years old at the time, took the risk of falling into the sea and stepped on the pedal to board the ship returning home. ”

In 1901, Li Hongzhang, who was already 78 years old, was ordered to negotiate peace, and on his sickbed, he reduced the indemnity of one billion taels of silver proposed by Russia at the beginning to 450 million taels, which was to be repaid in 39 years at an annual interest rate of 4%. After the signing of the "Xinchou Treaty", Li Hongzhang vomited blood and died. ”

"This traitor, who has been infamous for 100 years, is the originator of all the fields of electric power, telecommunications, postal services, finance, foreign trade, railways, shipping, metallurgy, shipbuilding, education, translation, publishing, navy, and weapons in modern China; he is the soul of the Westernization Movement, and he is the first person in the whole of China to put forward the concept of 'building coastal defense,' and he is also the first person to put forward the strategy of defending against Japan, and the first person to shout that 'every inch of land and every inch of sea cannot be coveted by foreign enemies.'"

"He and Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, and Zhang Zhidong are called the 'Four Famous Ministers of the Late Qing Dynasty', Cixi called him 'the first person to recreate Xuanhuang', and Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi said that he is the only person who has the ability to compete with the Western powers, and he is called the 'Bismarck of the East' by Europe and the United States, and he is called the 'Three Great Men of the Nineteenth Century' along with Bismarck, the iron-blooded Prime Minister of Germany, and Grant, the commander of the Union Forces of the American Civil War, and the eighteenth president of the United States."

"In the whole world, the only one who scolds him as a traitor is the China he defends by all means!"

"He was the only Han man who built a shrine in Beijing in the two hundred and sixty-eight years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, of course, he can't see it now, and even his grave was dug up during the Cultural Revolution, and his wife's body was dug up, and the body was dying. Coincidentally, the person digging the grave was a worker in a steelmaking plant, and Li Hongzhang was the first person in modern Chinese history to propose and build a steelmaking plant. ”

"The predecessor of the Olympic Games was the 'World Games', during Li Hongzhang's visit to France in 1896, it coincided with the opening of the World Games, when China was still the Qing Dynasty, there was no national anthem, only the Yellow Dragon Flag, when the national flag was raised, China without the national anthem was ridiculed by other countries, it was this old man who came to the Yellow Dragon of the Qing Dynasty tremblingly, and sang the Lu Opera of his hometown with an old voice."

"The reform failed, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao fled overseas, Cixi sent Li Hongzhang to arrest him, and it was this old man who said in front of Cixi that he was also Kang Youwei's party, and rejected Cixi's edict with a sentence of 'I will not be an executioner'."

Liang Chen took a deep breath and said, "I don't know who painted this picture, but I know that he deliberately reversed the order of Li Hongzhang's two poems, looking for the marquis three thousand miles away, who wrote history in 10,000 years?" When Li Hongzhang wrote poems, he was ambitious and wanted to write history with his own hands, but in the end, he couldn't even save his reputation after his death. ”

Su Bingning looked at the portrait on the wall and said puzzledly: "Then why did he sign those treaties again?" ”

Liang Chen said: "It is a feudal society, no one's thoughts can escape the shackles of the times and society, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die." Moreover, if there is another person, I am afraid that China will lose its power and humiliate the country, and it will be even greater. ”

Wang Jincheng said unwillingly: "But it is a fact that Li Hongzhang suppressed the Taiping Rebellion, corruption and bribery, and forming a party for personal gain, how can you whitewash him?" ”

Liang Chen smiled, "Why do you want to wash white?" What is a good officer and what is a bad officer? Are corrupt officials bad, but clean officials good? If you have the world in mind, have great righteousness for the people of the country, take bribes and take bribes, and have losses in small ways, isn't you a good official? The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was an uprising, but after the uprising, was the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom beneficial to China? What if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom overthrew the Qing Dynasty? Will they be able to resist the invasion of foreign powers, or will they be able to push China into near-modernization ahead of schedule? If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom really overthrew the Manchu Qing rule, which was already seeking change and saving the country, in my opinion, the probability that Chinese civilization will regress again is far higher than the probability of saving the country and the people. ”

Where did Wang Jincheng understand this, he was speechless for a while, and Mo Ziming, who had been silent next to him, smiled and said: "Whether what you said just now is right or wrong, it is always good." Nowadays, there are not many young people who do not seek to understand and follow the crowd, and there are not many people who can have their own opinions and opinions......"

He sighed and asked again: "I heard what Su Yatou just said, you play e-sports?" ”

Liang Chen smiled and nodded.

Mo Ziming sighed: "It's a pity. ”

Liang Chen said with a smile: "As the saying goes, the line is the best, modern society pays attention to openness and equality, do you still hold the idea of 'everything is inferior, only reading is high'?" ”

Mo Ziming said: "What is 'everything is inferior, only reading is high'? That's just a brainwashing tool of the ruling class......" said with a sigh and said, "Don't talk about this, Su Yatou has a bit of vision, huh...... The surname Su is quite discerning. ”

He waved his hand and said: "But the rules can't be broken, I don't know who the author of this painting is, but only in terms of painting, brushwork, coloring, and composition can be called the best choice, and there is no doubt that everyone has a pen, if you want to buy it, 300,000." ”

Compared with the sky-high price of 1.8 million yuan of Pu Ru's painting just now, 300,000 yuan is undoubtedly cheap, but Pu Ru is a master of calligraphy and painting with Zhang Daqian, and this guy with the title "Xiao Gu" has never even heard of the name, since the painting is Li Hongzhang, it must be a person from the end of the Qing Dynasty, from 1901 when Li Hongzhang died, it is only in his early 100s now, and now it is actually a price of 300,000, which is not too dark!

As for whether this painting is really good or fake, neither Liang Chen nor Su Bingning can understand it, so Miss Su naturally takes it for granted that it is just an ordinary painting, and opened her mouth wide and her eyes were very surprised: "Uncle Mo, you are too dark, right?" A guy who doesn't know who it is, he hasn't even heard of his name, a hundred years ago, it was estimated that no one wanted to ask for a tael of silver, and now it costs 300,000, this price increase is too exaggerated! You can't be bullying us two children who don't understand anything and deliberately lie to us, right? ”

Mo Ziming teased: "Do children also fall in love? ”

Su Bingning's face turned red, but she refused to give up and said: "Now the children in the kindergarten are in love, okay?" You are really out of touch with the times, and you know how to deceive children when you are bent on money......"

Although it was said that Liang Chen accompanied him to buy gifts, Su Bingning naturally understood that with Liang Chen's character, how could he let himself pay, so he tried every means to bargain, otherwise the eldest lady of the Su family would not lack this 300,000 yuan.

Mo Ziming laughed and said, "You girl, when did you become such a philistine?" Mo Xuantang's rules are like this, no one can break the rules when they come, and besides, the son-in-law of the Su family buys a birthday gift for the old man, why can't he be too shabby, right? ”

Su Bingning was about to say more, Liang Chen gently squeezed her hand and said with a smile: "That's it." (To be continued.) )
