The Mr. Zhang Daqian we know is generally known from the film and television dramas of later generations, ten miles of foreign fields, pink beauty, bright lights, a talented young man holding a glass of red wine, and a young and beautiful fashion girl's affair, but the fact may not be what the film and television dramas present, even the name "Daqian" is not something that can be called now, and it has to wait until a few years later when he became a monk in Shanghai and won the legal name "Daqian", so he has the name "Daqian".

At this time, Mr. Zhang Daqian, just a seventeen or eighteen-year-old hairy boy, young and immature, hid from his family from his hometown in the mountain city, and went to Beiping, Shanghai and other big cities to study alone.

He Qi doesn't know much about Mr. Zhang Daqian, but he deeply remembers a news, on the closing day of Sotheby's Hong Kong's 2022 Spring Auction, Zhang Daqian's imitation of an ancient masterpiece and imitation of Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains" appeared at auction, and finally sold for HK$320 million, plus commission for HK$370.495 million.

The imitation painting is more expensive than the original, and this is the only one who is Mr. Zhang Daqian.

Therefore, He Qi saw Mr. Zhang Daqian's work, which is called a hot eye, but unfortunately he was taught to be a man by an empty money bag, and now the only thought is to make money, in addition to making money, it is making money, since he can't wait for the door-to-door work, then take the initiative.

He Qi is thinking about how to make money? The curtain of the shop was suddenly opened, and a fat figure came in, it was the shopkeeper Zhao Deyi who came back, depressed, quite anxious, glanced at He Qi, and then lifted the curtain, and brought in a rather generously dressed person, wearing a robe and horse coat, with a melon skin hat, holding a cigarette gun, walking without squinting, majestic, like an official master.

"Yan'er, what are you doing with the pestle? Why don't you show Zhang Ye tea? Zhao Deyi instructed Li Yan on the one hand, and led Zhang Ye into the seat diligently.

He Qi didn't know the origin of this person, but when he saw Zhao Deyi's courteous appearance, he thought it was a big customer, so he got up early and prepared to go to the backyard to stay, so as not to delay Zhao's shopkeeper to do business.

How do you know that he was stopped by the shopkeeper Zhao, squeezed his eyebrows, made a look, and introduced He Qi complimentarily: "Sir, this is Mr. Zhang, Zhang Wuye, in the territory of Liulichang, speaking of Zhang Wuye, no matter who it is, it has to give a thumbs up, even in this Beiping City, it can also be called." ”

He Qi was confused when he heard this, and after searching carefully in his heart, he could only sit down with the translator Mr. Zhang who had spoken before, and bowed down without etiquette.

Zhang Wuye is angry today, not ordinary angry, he had made an appointment with Zhao Deyi to come to Richard as a translator today, but he waited from morning to noon, and he didn't see Li Yan to look for it, so he was ready to come to the door to ask what was going on, and just walked to the front of Qingyuan Tower, he heard someone talk about Zhao Deyi's banquet last night, so he stepped forward to ask clearly.

Some people say that Zhao Deyi sold two paintings to foreigners yesterday and made a lot of money.

Some people say that Zhao Deyi introduced a gentleman who understands foreign languages to the shopkeepers of the glaze factory.

This made Zhang Wuye angry, thinking that since Richard came yesterday and the painting was sold, then let Li Yan say it, so that he would not be stupid and wait all morning today, what is even more annoying is that he didn't give the job to pick up, and even introduced the gentleman who knew foreign literature to the shopkeepers of the glass factory, isn't this a heart to smash people's jobs?

The two things came together, which made Zhang Wuye more and more angry, and he was unbearable, and immediately rushed to Wenhuiju, and happened to meet the shopkeeper Zhao who came back at the door of the shop.

But Zhang Wuye is also a sensible person, the so-called injustice has a head, and the debt has a master, this matter is not authentic for Zhao's shopkeeper, and it has nothing to do with other people, so Zhang Wuye only aimed at Zhao's shopkeeper, and when he saw He Qi saluting him, he immediately got up and took off his hat and returned a salute.

Li Yanxin made a pot of tea and took the cold tea on the table, He Qi didn't understand what was going on at this time, whether to leave or not, so he had to stay at the scene and wait and see.

Shopkeeper Zhao probably understood that Zhang Wuye was not good, and was busy pouring tea from a teapot to make amends, but Zhang Wuye didn't look at it, holding a cigarette stick to swallow clouds and spit out fog, and said coldly: "Shopkeeper Zhao is in this part of the Liuli Factory, and he has been mixed for so long, what should be done and what should not be done, there must be an explanation, right?" ”

"Fifth Master Zhang, you drink, I'll tell you carefully." After serving the tea, Zhao Deyi thought about it in his heart, and then understood what was going on, and explained with a smiling face: "That's the case, I originally made an appointment with you today, but I didn't know that Mr. Richard came by himself yesterday, and I didn't know in advance, and this matter is urgent, you also know that we do business, and we open the door to make some living, it's not easy, it just so happened that Mr. He was here yesterday, so I invited Mr. He to temporarily make this deal." ”

However, Zhang Wuye didn't buy it, nor did he accept this statement, let alone drink tea, and sneered: "Matter, I understand, but Li'er is not such a reason, you do your business and make your money, it is understandable, I do my business and earn my work, it is right." You made an appointment with me, and I left the time for today, and I want to earn today's work, that is, the sky is broken, and this reason is also on my side. ”

"That's right, you're right, but I'm not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, Mr. Richard came a day earlier, and I don't know about it!" Zhao Deyi spread his hands and hurriedly explained again.

"I didn't say that you don't know, but this deal is done, you have to send someone to tell me, so that I don't need it today, and I have been waiting for it in vain this morning?" Zhang Wuye stared at Zhao Deyi and asked rhetorically.

At this point, He Qi can understand it, from the perspective of a bystander, this matter is really not authentic Zhao Deyi, there is no need for others, at least he has to say it in advance, what is the matter with not saying a word and making people wait for a morning in vain?

I can't complain that Zhang Wuye blocked the door to ask for an explanation, if this matter is on him, I am afraid that he will be angry.

However, He Qi didn't squeak, this matter has nothing to do with him, at this time, don't wade into troubled waters, let's be a melon eater.

Zhao Deyi frowned for a while, and was speechless by Zhang Wuye, and he was speechless for a long time, but he didn't say a reason in the end.

Zhang Wuye snorted coldly, glanced at it, and continued: "I heard that the shopkeeper Zhao was in Qingyuan Building last night, and he entertained the shopkeepers of the Liuli Factory with a lot of money, what's the matter, when did the shopkeeper Zhao also learn to watch people invite them to dinner?" I still remember that when Zhao's shopkeeper was burdened, full of alleys and alleys, he walked blindly to the front of my yard, and got a Song painting cheaply. ”

"I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten, I remember it clearly!" Zhao Deyi responded.

"I'm afraid that the shopkeeper Zhao only remembers that the Song painting was sold for a lot of money, and he doesn't remember the others, right?" Zhang Wuye said with a smile.

"No, I remember, you said at the time, the price is 1,000 taels, no gold, no tickets, no broken silver, you want silver ingots, I ran for two days, found a lot of people, and only then did I get you a thousand taels of silver ingots."

"What about when you're leaving?" Zhang Wuye hung his throat and asked again.

Speaking of this, Zhao Deyi's whole body suddenly tensed, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his chubby face, revealing red in his white.

"I remember that when I was leaving, I thought that it was not easy for you, and I rewarded you with two silver ingots, and when I changed to today, I went to the Eight Buildings and the Eight Great Residences, which is enough to eat for a while, right?" Zhang Wuye said lightly.

But he was ashamed of Zhao Deyi, thinking that Zhang Wuye was going to talk about the kindness of the Song painting, but he didn't expect that he had long forgotten the two silver ingots that were clean, and said busily: "Zhang Wuye, you appreciate your face, and set up a table in Qingyuan Building tonight to apologize." ”

Fifth Master Zhang only looked at it coldly, did not respond to the invitation, and said: "Fifth Master, I have been beautiful for half my life, and I have never eaten any delicacies from the mountains and seas?" What haven't you seen? Now that I'm down, I'm looked down upon, you see me, shout Zhang Wuye, in fact, I can't tell you how to joke behind your back? ”

He also said: "This way of the world is this virtue, I have seen a lot of the fifth master, I can afford it, and I don't care if I put it down." Today, I am reasonable, and I came to the door to find an explanation, and your shopkeeper Zhao knew that he was wrong, so he wanted to invite me to dinner to apologize. ”

"Forgive me!!"

"Spread out, I don't know how to nag the fifth master behind my back, I am wrapped in old kindness, and I come to ask for help, my Zhang family used to be a rich and noble family, and the number one in the capital, but now the lintel is in trouble, and the last face left in my place is left, and I can't lose this last face."

Zhang Wuye paused, changed his words, and said: "Fifth Master, I am not a master of nonsense, according to what I said before, do a job, give a penny, although I didn't do a job today, but time is left, in terms of it, the fault is on the shopkeeper Zhao, you have to admit the money for this job." ”

"Don't say much about the rest, I met on the street in the future, you nodded, I squeaked, you don't nod, I don't blame you."

Speaking of this, the shopkeeper Zhao took care of the loss, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it, walked quickly to the counter, took out the money from the Zen wooden box, and respectfully put it in front of Zhang Wuye, and said, "Fifth master, you order." ”

"No need, this money, I don't like it at all, the fifth master, I'm here to ask for an explanation, since you gave the explanation, even if this matter is clear, no one cares about anyone." Zhang Wuye didn't look at the money, he put it directly into his pocket, got up with a cigarette gun, and strode out of the shop.

"Fifth Master, enjoy your face, ...... Qingyuan Building at night" Shopkeeper Zhao lifted his toes, poked his head, and shouted at Zhang Wuye's back.

"No, I'm self-aware, I can't afford to climb high, you can keep it and invite someone else." Zhang Wuye left a word, and his figure disappeared at the entrance of the shop.

Zhao's shopkeeper thought that he didn't invite Zhang Wuye, and saved ten oceans, but he didn't think about it, this time he lost his wife and broke his soldiers, and he paid ten more oceans for his life, not to mention the pain of the flesh, and what is even worse is that he was ruthlessly counted by Zhang Wuye, and he couldn't hang his face.

And He Qi couldn't help but have a new opinion on Zhao Deyi, no wonder at the wine table in Qingyuan Building last night, this old boy didn't mention the salary for foreigner translators, it turned out that there was a careful thought hidden here.

He Qi couldn't help but glance at the depressed Zhao Deyi, and muttered in his heart, this old boy looked easy to get along with, but in fact, his heart was also dark, and half of the labor fee was deducted, if it weren't for Zhang Wuye's stubble, I don't know how long he would have been blinded.

None of them are simple!
