Chu Chen said: "Mr. Qiao, what do you want me to do? Even if it is beyond my ability, I will try my best to help you coordinate it. Take a look at Nvfeng's free novel." "If there were more people like Xiao Chu in our society, With such people, the loss of cultural relics in our country will be much better!" Seeing Chu Chen's attitude, Qiao Qingtai sighed, and then he said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, it's actually easy for me to ask you to help me, I got it in advance! According to the news, the national treasure will appear in a black market tomorrow as the finale. My task is to take pictures of the national treasure first. "Originally, I wanted Xiao Han to arrange for someone to take me there, and the other party was also there. Boss, my net worth is a bit thin for that national treasure. If I take a photo of it, I'm worried that it will arouse the suspicion of those people. I didn't expect to meet you today, so that's okay." "Okay, it's simple. We can just go together then." Chu Chen nodded and agreed. As for why Qiao Qingtai and the others didn't arrest the group directly when they knew the news about the national treasure, he didn't even ask. The reason is obvious. Since the other party dares to spread such news, they must have already had the means to deal with it. Once there is any trouble, these people will probably run away without a trace. Rather than doing this, it is better to buy the national treasure first. Even if the group of people escape in the end, the national treasure will not be smuggled abroad. Otherwise, if the national treasure is really smuggled abroad, everyone should be able to imagine the difficulty of recovering it. Qiao Qingtai briefly talked about the things to pay attention to, then smiled and said: "Xiao Chu, do you have anything to do today?" Chu Chen shook his head and said that he had originally planned to go out for fun. Han Yusong, who was next to him, heard the words and said quickly: "Mr. Chu, I wonder if you have time to go to my shop and give me some guidance?" Qiao Qingtai smiled and said: "Xiao Han, your mind works very fast." Han Yu Song chuckled and said, "Isn't this a rare trip to Xiazhou for Teacher Chu?" "It's weird to believe you!" Qiao Qingtai scolded with a smile and said, "In order to increase the reputation of his antique shop, this kid will not let go at all. A chance. Every time I come here, he asks me to inscribe it for him, but after all these years, the one I originally inscribed is still hanging in his shop. I don¡¯t know if the others were sold by him or something. ¡± Han Yusong waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Uncle Qiao, you are burying me by saying that. I have carefully preserved those words. They are passed down as family heirlooms. No matter what, I will not sell your words for money." Ah! And if I do that, my dad won¡¯t break my legs!¡± ¡°As for the picture you have hanging in the store, isn¡¯t it because the scarcity of the picture is too high for you? "I am not a calligrapher." "Uncle Qiao, you are too modest. If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Chu how good your calligraphy is." "Aren't you talking nonsense? If I ask Xiao Chu in person, will he say that my calligraphy is poor?" Chu Chen said with a smile: "Mr. Qiao, you are really too modest. My master is very enthusiastic about your calligraphy." "I praised you." Han Yusong laughed and said, "Look, I was right" After joking for a while, everyone took a car to one of the many antique markets in Xiazhou. This antique market is located in a north-south alley. There are about 40 stores on both sides of the alley, half of which mainly sell porcelain and jade. Stone is also a big item, there are probably more than ten, there are four or five miscellaneous stores, and one or two specialize in jade. Han Yusong¡¯s antique shop is one of them that deals in miscellaneous items. The store is neither big nor small, when Chu Chen and the others followed Han Yusong into the store. I saw a young man in his twenties and thirties introducing the antiques on the ancient shelf to a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man looked at Chu Chen and others, then pointed to a blue and white vase for the young man to help introduce. Judging from what he asked. This person is probably a newbie, and he probably hasn't been here a few times. If he doesn't come here, he doesn't even know the boss. Han Yusong just nodded to the young man and led the three of them towards the reception room inside. At this time, I heard a middle-aged man ask: "Excuse me, do you have any calligraphy works by He Shaoji here?" The young man was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Han Yusong. There was a calligraphy work by He Shaoji in the store. Calligraphy works, but the price is not cheap, it is not something he can decide as a part-time worker. Han Yusong also heard what the middle-aged man said, so he apologized to the others, then walked up to the middle-aged man and asked: "Sir, do you want He Shaoji's calligraphy work?" The middle-aged man took a moment beatHe measured Han Yusong and nodded: "Yes, are you the owner of this store?" Han Yusong nodded: "Our store does have one of He Shaoji's calligraphy works, but there is something I have to tell you in advance. I understand, the price of this work is not low." The middle-aged man waved his hand and said grandly: "As long as I can see it, the price is completely negotiable." "Okay! Then you can come in!" , the middle-aged man was also invited into the reception room by Han Yusong. After the young clerk prepared tea for everyone, Han Yusong came back with a calligraphy and painting brocade box, and he put the brocade box next to it. A long table is set up and everyone is invited to watch it together. He Shaoji was a poet, painter, and calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty. He was a very diligent person, and he himself said: "I have been studying calligraphy for more than 40 years, and I can trace back the origin of seal script. The standard of regular script has evolved from the seal script of the Northern Dynasties to the true regular script." In his early years, He Shaoji started with Yan Zhenqing and Ouyang Tong, and pursued the seal script of Qin and Han Dynasties. He was extremely proficient in writing Han steles. He wrote the "Zhang Qian Stele" and "The Ritual Vessel Stele" more than a hundred times. Furthermore, "Cao, seal script, Fen, and Xing are melted into one furnace, and the dragon's changes are unpredictable." There are still many Lin copies that have survived to this day. In his middle age, he devoted himself to Beibei and wrote characters with strong personality using a method that was different from ordinary people. He Shaoji said: "For example, when writing, you should use Zhongfengran, one stroke to the end, and all sides. Is it thick? Is it not rhyme? Is it not vigorous? Is it not light and distant? This must be mentioned when holding the pen. Dantian workers, with a high vision, twists and turns, and self-transformation, can achieve this kind of energy. It is really a disaster, a disaster!" This shows that he attaches great importance to and has a deep understanding of Zhongfeng. This also created his unique calligraphy style, which was praised by the world for his unique style of calligraphy that blended various styles of calligraphy into those of the ancients. The calligraphy work in front of me is a seven-character couplet in vertical ink and running script. The paper is made of gold-sprinkled paper. In fact, when making rice paper in ancient times, gold and silver powder or gold and silver foil were added to the paper with glue powder for reasons such as beauty. After it is made, you will see dots of gold and silver powder or gold and silver foil on the colored wax paper. Pieces of gold and silver foil are formed, which is called "sprinkled gold and silver five-color wax paper", that is, "sprinkled gold paper". In addition to the specialness of the paper, this running script work can be said to be free and spontaneous, skillful but not slippery and frivolous. It perfectly explains the characteristics of He Shaoji's running script. The calligraphy seems to have not only absorbed the ups and downs and mellowness of the epigraphic inscriptions, but also integrated the majestic and majestic momentum of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, forming his calligraphy charm that is both ups and downs and powerful. Just as a scholar in the Qing Dynasty commented, "Because of the unbridled spirit, often in a line, it sometimes looks like a strong man fighting with muscles and bones, and sometimes it looks like reining in a horse with a cup in hand. The state of mind is detached, and it is not a refined study of the four bodies." , If you are familiar with the eight methods, you can't understand its beauty." From this, we can see the spirit contained in He Shaoji's running script. "Okay!" Although there is only a seven-character couplet in front of me, judging from the sophisticated brushwork and the artistic conception contained in it, it should be a masterpiece of He Shaoji's cursive works in his later years. Qiao Qingtai, who loves calligraphy, can't bear to see it until the end. He couldn't help but praise loudly. To be honest, Qiao Qingtai was very eager to get this couplet at this time, but first come, first served is a rule that everyone in the antique industry attaches great importance to. No matter how good his relationship with He Shaoji is, he cannot break this convention. Seeing Qiao Qingtai¡¯s hot-eyed look, Han Yusong felt a little regretful and didn¡¯t think more about what he said just now. However, he did this subconsciously, and the reason was that the price he got for this couplet was a bit expensive. Based on the current market conditions, it is estimated that it will take another three or four years to appreciate in value before he can maintain his capital. In this case, only a newcomer who doesn¡¯t know much about the business can make him sell at a capital-guaranteed price as soon as possible. But at this point, for the sake of his reputation, Han Yusong could only discuss the business first, but he was still somewhat conflicted. On the one hand, he did not want to disappoint Qiao Qingtai, and on the other hand, he wanted to protect his capital as soon as possible. The price made him feel very confused. However, no matter how entangled Han Yusong was, the business still had to be discussed, so he took the middle-aged man aside and the two began to bargain. However, the process was not smooth. Although the middle-aged man liked the work, he The price is so low that even the normal market price cannot be reached, let alone maintaining capital. This made Han Yusong very angry. Seeing the middle-aged man's desperate appearance, he became a little impatient and said, "Mr. Qian, the price just now cannot be lowered no matter what." "That's definitely not possible! "The middle-aged man shook his head repeatedly to express his disagreement. The price Han Yusong just mentioned is already slightly lower than his purchase price. If it were any lower, he might as well transfer the couplet to Qiao Qingtai.To earn a favor, since the middle-aged man disagreed, he also said that the deal could not be negotiated. The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders, said nothing more, and left. After the middle-aged man left, Qiao Qingtai said, "Xiao Han, what's going on with this guy?" "Maybe the price I gave is too high?" Han Yusong laughed, even though the price he gave was already a bit of a loss. , but it is indeed higher than the current market price. It is normal for the other party to feel dissatisfied. (To be continued)
