The stall owner saw that the items selected by Zhu Dafu and others were all fake. Such items were obviously worthless. Even if the items selected by the four people were added up, they would not cost more than 100 yuan. This made him feel very unhappy. . At this time, he saw Chu Chen looking through the books and seemed to be somewhat interested. He quickly said to Chu Chen: "Little brother, those books can only be packaged and sold." The reason why he said that he wanted to The purpose of packaging and selling was to make Chu Chen a little more money. Of course, it didn't matter if Chu Chen didn't buy it. He didn't worry about being able to sell a genuine product like this. "Package and sell?" Chu Chen had never encountered such a thing before, and felt a little funny for a moment. "Yes!" "How much does it cost?" The stall owner thought for a while and said, "Let's count it as eight hundred in total." There are only ten ancient books here, and Chu Chen has read the above five, all from the late Qing Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, it was an ordinary engraved book, and the remaining five books should not be any better. He would definitely not be interested in something like this costing 800 yuan. Instead of doing this, he might as well choose something cheaper. However, just when he wanted to refuse, he discovered that the seventh ancient book was actually an album. The album page is a form of mounting for calligraphy and painting works, and it is also one of the traditional forms of book binding in ancient my country. Albums of calligraphy and painting appeared during the Song Dynasty under the influence of book albums. As a kind of calligraphy and painting sketch, it is small in size, easy to create and easy to preserve, and is deeply loved by calligraphers, painters and collectors. Finding out that it was an album, Chu Chen curiously opened the thing and took a look. Not to mention the surprise in his heart. Fortunately, his reaction speed was very fast. He quickly finished flipping through the things pretending to be casual, and then flipped through the remaining three books. What surprised Chu Chen again. The last one was actually a note written by someone, and the handwriting on it made him feel a little familiar, which surprised him. Of course, at this moment, it is obviously not the time to think. Zhu Dafu and others have already selected the items and the transactions have been completed. As for the price, it is actually similar to what the stall owner just estimated. It seemed to be less than one hundred yuan, but Zhu Dafu and the others would not pay Ji Wanyou's money. In the end, the stall owner insisted on asking for two hundred yuan for Ji Wanyou's things, and because Ji Wanyou had something in the stall owner's hands, he also I can only swallow my anger. "Boss, these books of yours are all ordinary engravings. Are they still worth eight hundred?" Chu Chen did not talk about the notebook. He was afraid that due to an accident like the notebook, the other party would read these books again, thus Discover the extraordinaryness of that album. What Ji Wanyou chose. It cost basically nothing to the stall owner. He made two hundred yuan and he was in a very good mood. In addition, he had briefly browsed through the above books and knew that such ordinary items were not worth much. So he smiled and asked: "Then how much do you want?" "Two hundred!" "That won't work!" The stall owner shook his head repeatedly and said, "Two hundred is too little, not enough for my capital. At least six hundred!" " Boss, these things of yours are too ordinary. If I didn't like to collect books like this, I really wouldn't buy such things. So, I'll add another forty. " "No, no matter how good this thing is, it's just the same. In the Qing Dynasty, with a price like yours, this business would definitely not be possible. If you really want it, I'll give you five hundred" Next, the two of them bargained and settled on three hundred and two. After paying the money, Chu Chen smiled jokingly at the stall owner, then took out the album, handed it to Zhu Dafu and said: "Uncle Fu, what do you think of this album?" Zhu Dafu originally said to Chu Chen It was a little strange that he liked to collect ancient books. Seeing this, he didn't understand that Chu Chen might have missed it again, so he quickly took the album into his hands. This is a fold-out album with nothing written on the cover. Zhu Dafu carefully opened the album. When he saw the contents inside, his eyes suddenly widened with disbelief on his face, and then he raised his head. Come, Chu Chen was shocked and asked: "Is this Tang Yin's "Album of Falling Flower Poems"?" "What?" ""Tang Yin's "Album of Falling Flower Poems"?" When people around heard that it actually belonged to Tang Bohu, they hurriedly gathered around. Competing to watch. Seeing this situation, Chu Chen secretly said "misstep". The reason why he took out the things now was to stimulate the stall owner who wanted to "touch porcelain" and let him learn a lesson. However, he forgot that others were not as accustomed to such good things as he was. Fortunately, this stall was relatively remote, and there were not many people around. When Zhu Dafu saw that the scene was a little out of control, he quickly closed the album,?Hold things in his arms. At this time, Qiao Qingtai quickly urged: "Let's go! Let's talk about it when we get back!" Everyone agreed, so they immediately squeezed out of the crowd and walked back quickly. As soon as Chu Chen and others left, an old man of nearly sixty years old came. Seeing many people sighing "what a pity", he asked curiously: "What's wrong? What happened?" One of them knew the old man and explained: "It's Mr. An! Just now, shopkeeper Meng Yi Xianmeng took out a book of Tang Yin's "Luohua Poems"" Before the man could finish speaking, the old man said in surprise: "What, you said it's true?" The man shook his head: "I don't know whether the thing is true or not!" Someone next to him said: "I think it's very likely, you don't know, that young man It's not simple. If I read it correctly, he should be the expert named Chu Chen who was on the Beijing TV station. "Ah! When you say that, I really think about it. It seems that it is really him. Listen." It is said that this person has a very high level, and he is also the favorite disciple of Mr. Liu from the capital" Hearing this, the old man seemed very anxious, and quickly chased in the direction Chu Chen left, shouting. At the same time, the stall owner was completely stunned. He originally instinctively thought that Chu Chen wanted to set a trap for him, so no matter what, he would not believe it. But in the end, someone said that Chu Chen was the expert who had appeared on the Beijing TV station, and he remembered that this was really the case. After learning about this situation, he no longer knew what to say, and thought to himself: "Did I really miss a shocking leak? How is this possible? This is impossible This is impossible!" Thinking of the end, that The stall owners couldn't help but roared. "Come on, hurry up! This guy must have gone crazy!" Seeing the ferocious expression on the stall owner's face, someone quickly urged his friend to leave quickly, and everyone spread out to avoid him. Not long after Chu Chen and others left, Meng Yi first saw Ji Wanyou who was still following them, and said with a look of disgust: "Why are you still following them?" Ji Wanyou was stunned for a moment, then he opened his mouth, only to find that he really There's no good reason. "Wanyou, please go back first!" Ji Haoliang also said. At this time, he had also realized that Ji Wanyou was probably involved in today's matter, but he was still concerned about his face, so he did not I would be rude to Ji Wanyou if I didn't do it now. After Ji Wanyou heard this, he could only say goodbye. When he walked to a place where Chu Chen and others could not see him, he fiercely spat in the direction of Chu Chen and others: "A bunch of ungrateful guys, if it weren't for me, you would There is no chance of missing something Hey! If I had known this, why didn't I look through those books first" Ji Wanyou was jealous, but as soon as he left, the old man caught up with him. Hearing the old man's cry, Chu Chen and others turned around. When he ran to the front, Meng Yi smiled and asked: "I said Lao An, what's wrong with you?" The old man took a few deep breaths. , after a while, he raised his head and said: "I'm so exhausted, oh! Who is it? It turns out to be Lao Zhu and Lao Qiao! This must be Mr. Liu's disciple, Chu Chen?" It turned out that the old man's name was An Gongshi, he opened an antique shop not far away, and he was old friends with Zhu Dafu and others. After everyone exchanged greetings, An Gongshi quickly said: "I heard that Xiao Chu just found Tang Yin's "Album of Falling Flower Poems"? Can you let me see it?" "Of course, but should we change the place? ?" Chu Chen said with a smile. "Yes, yes" An Gongshi nodded repeatedly, and then led everyone to a nearby teahouse. After the waiter left, with everyone's expectant eyes, he took out the "Album of Falling Flower Poems" by Tang Yin he had just received and unfolded it. In the history of Chinese art, the late Ming Dynasty is a peak, and in the history of art in the late Ming Dynasty, Tang Yin is also a peak. Tang Yin, Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, and Qiu Ying are known as the "Four Ming Schools", and Tang Yin is also the "Wumen" of the late Ming Dynasty. The leader of the "Wumen Calligraphy School", the "Wumen Calligraphy School" had the most profound influence on the subsequent history of Chinese calligraphy and even today's Wumen calligraphers. In the impression of ordinary people, Tang Yin seems to be just a "romantic talent" who can recite some poems and make some paintings. Such "romantic talents" can be seen almost everywhere in the Jiangnan area during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Therefore, they may not regard him as a "romantic talent". placed in an important position in the history of art. However, in fact, Tang Yin is by no means a romantic talent and literary scholar in the eyes of ordinary people.??, but an artist with independent artistic character and artistic spirit. Although later generations called Tang Yin "the most romantic and talented man in the south of the Yangtze River", in fact, Tang Yin was not a real romantic, but experienced hardships and suffered many hardships. Tang Yin was actually a man who used art to vent his cruel reality and tragic life. Artistic all-rounder. Tang Yin once ranked first in the provincial examination in his early years. Later, he was implicated in a fraud case in the examination room, his reputation was frustrated, and he suffered family difficulties. In the second half of his life, he built "Peach Blossom Temple" in Taohuawu, northwest of Gusu City, and became famous for selling literary works and paintings. Personal setbacks prompted him to reluctantly adopt a wild and cynical lifestyle, "uninhibited and addicted to sensuality". In fact, he often vented his anger through poetry, calligraphy and painting. However, what is different from other artists is that Tang Yin's poems, calligraphy and paintings lack the compassion and resentment of other literati, but are more broad-minded, transcendent and leisurely, not broad but broad, not reaching but reaching, not flat but Ping, this is the high realm of art and the high realm of life.
