After picking up the pen holder, you can see a stack of folded thick rice paper, which is wrapped in plastic bags. Chu Chen estimates that this is also to prevent moisture. Such a thick stack of rice paper fills the bottom of the whole pen container, so the movable bottom of the pen container is not so easy to loosen.
According to Chu Chen's previous experience, he knew that the contents should be extraordinary, and since it was Xuan paper, it was probably the calligraphy and painting of famous artists.
Carefully took out the rice paper from the plastic bag, just put it on the table, the accident happened, only to see the rice paper "poof" a bounce, can't help but scare everyone.
After a careful look, I found that when the previous owner put it in, in order to avoid breaking the rice paper, the folding place was carefully padded with sponge and other things, so the accident just happened.
Fortunately, the table has been cleaned up just now, and there is no such thing as tea cup. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if it was accidentally stained with water just now.
Chu Chen carefully spread the cleaned rice paper on the table. After a close look, it turned out that it was a calligraphy work with the title of "walking in the flowers" by Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Jiuling.
The orchid leaves are luxuriant in spring and bright in autumn. I'm happy with this business. It's a holiday. Who knows, those who live in the forest are happy when they hear the wind. Plants have their own heart, why do you want beauty? Xiangyang Mi Fu.
The seal is the seal of Mi Fu. In addition, there are several bell seals and collection seals, each of which represents a famous person in history.
"This This is a work of Mi Fu
With those ring seals and Liu Lao's professional level of painting and calligraphy for many years, he immediately concluded that it was an authentic calligraphy of Mi Fu, and was greatly surprised.
Mi Fu, whose character is Zhang, was named Fu in his early years. After the age of 41, his calligraphy was changed to Fu, which was named lumen Jushi, Xiangyang Manshi and Haiyue waishi. It is known as "Minan Palace" and "Mi Xiangyang" in the world. During the Xuanhe reign of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, he was a doctor of calligraphy and painting. He successively served in yongqiu County, zhilianshui army, Wuwei army and Huaiyang army, and later became an official to wailang, a member of the Ministry of rites.
Mi Fu is a calligrapher, painter, appraiser and collector.
He was born in calligraphy and worked hard the most, and his greatest achievement was running calligraphy. Although the paintings are not handed down to the world, there are still a lot of calligraphy works. In the famous Huitie since the Southern Song Dynasty, most of them are engraved with their calligraphy, which is widely spread and far-reaching, and can be said to be the leading calligrapher in the Song Dynasty.
His style is free and unrestrained, but also strict than the law, Su Dongpo praised his "Zhen, Cao, Li, Zhuan, such as Fengqiang array horse, calm and happy, when parallel with King Zhong.". It's not just worthy of it. ". The so-called "calmness" refers to Meticulous Brushwork, precise stippling and deep expression; the so-called "happy" refers to fast brushwork, incisive brushwork, vigorous brushwork and magnificent brushwork.
Mi Fu's calligraphy is among the four schools in Song Dynasty, after liesu Dongpo and Huang Tingjian, and before Cai Xiang. However, as far as calligraphy is concerned, Mi Fu's traditional skills are the most profound, especially running calligraphy.
Seeing that it was Mi Fu's work, Mr. Liu immediately took out a magnifying glass and almost stuck his face on it. After looking at the work carefully, he put down the magnifying glass and sighed with admiration:
"it's really Mi Fu's work. It's full of charm and calm. No wonder Dong Qichang of Ming Dynasty wrote in his essay on painting Zen room "I think that the Song Dynasty is the best, after all, because of Dongpo. That is to say, the book of MI Dian is even more popular. It is cold than water when it changes in old age. " It's really worthy of the name
After reading it carefully, Chu Chen sighed: "no wonder when the emperor asked him about his calligraphy, Mi Fu would call himself" brush calligraphy ". The two words" brush calligraphy "reflect the characteristics of his fast and vigorous pen, full of joy, changing, vigorous and fresh."
"At the end of the painting, I did my best to write it. It really deserves to be called" brush calligraphy ". These two words are the essence of Mi Fu's own calligraphy."
Mr. Liu nodded his head and said, "Xiao Chu, you are right. Although there are few words in this work, the handwriting and skill are not inferior to those of his hand scroll. It can be regarded as a masterpiece of Mi Fu. Xiao Chu, you are lucky!"
Chu Chen scratched his head and said with a smile, "luck is all luck."
Liu Qinshu envied and said: "Xiao Chu, you are really lucky. I don't have any words to say. I think I should try it when I meet a pen holder in the future. Maybe I can be like Xiao Chu you, and there is something in it."
Old Liu shook his head and said with a smile: "Xiao Shu, if you want to pick up the leak, luck is the key. If you're not lucky, you can't catch a rabbit even if you keep the plant all your life. Let's talk about you. I've been learning antiques for many years. Don't mention the big leak. There are few small leaks. I don't think you have to worry about picking up the leak. "
"Well! I don't believe it. I can't find a big leak in my life! "
Mr. Liu said with a smile: "look at you, you're playing childish again. It's up to you. Anyway, you have a lot of money and you don't feel sorry to waste a few. Xiao Chu, what are you going to do with this calligraphy work of Mi Fu? Don't worry, I won't ask you for it? "After thinking about it, Chu Chen replied, "Mr. Liu, I'm sure I won't sell this calligraphy. After all, such fine calligraphy as Mi Fu is rare. However, although this pen holder was given to me by the original owner, he did not know that there was a work hidden in it, so I always felt that it was somewhat improper in name, illogical in speech and awkward. "
Mr. Liu nodded and said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, if you think so, it shows that you are kind-hearted, but you can rest assured that this thing is also like our Antique leak. Can you buy it with your eyesight and return it or make up some money? If you want me to say that the treasure is the one who has virtue. Since he has not found it, he will not be blessed. "
Liu Qinshu said: "yes, my father is right. Xiao Chu, you deserve this. My dad had a hard time saying that he even wanted 30 million. It's really heartless. Xiao Chu, you don't know. When they bought that villa, it cost only 300000. You said he was not black hearted. "
Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "well, Xiaoshu, don't mention it. Xiao Zhang also has a problem. You don't know that he wants to buy a house in Shanxi Province. Now he's the only brother in his family, and it's hard for him. Besides, isn't the price he quoted the market price? "
Liu Qinshu was still a little resentful and said: "Dad, you know how much it costs to protect him as a mayor. He's not an honest official. You don't know how beautiful he was in the Ministry of transportation before. If he didn't change a minister, how could he go down? What's more, he still gives you a market price when you defend him so much. "
Old Liu smiles bitterly and shakes his head. What Liu Qinshu says is that he doesn't know, but he is the only son of his old friend now. He has to take care of him more or less. As for Chu Chen, he can only be wronged temporarily. Fortunately, the unexpected work of Mi Fu has made up for some losses, making Liu feel a little better.
However, if Chu Chen knew what Liu was thinking, he would be more grateful to him. In fact, he bought the villa with an area of nearly 1500 square meters for 30 million yuan. Chu Chen already felt that he had picked up a bargain. After all, he was just a common man. Without Liu's help, he could only think about it in his heart. Now he is very satisfied.
As the old saying goes, contented people are always happy!
So Chu Chen quickly made a comeback and said, "I think it's very good that Mr. Liu and Aunt Liu can buy it for 30 million yuan. And now I've got this work of Mi Fu. Isn't it equivalent to a 15% discount? If it's someone else, how can it be such a good thing? "
Liu Qinshu said: "for other people, the pen holder is also given."
Chuchen said with a smile: "but other people don't want to check the pencil case like me. Unless they accidentally drop the pencil case, they don't know that this work will be born in the age of monkey years and horses."
Liu Qinshu shook his head, said: "you ah, clearly suffered a loss, as if also accounted for the stool appropriate."
Chuchen said with a smile: "I'm not happy with contentment."
Old Liu clapped his hands and said with a smile: "what a contented person, Xiao Shu, you should learn from Xiao Chu. You don't want to haggle over everything. When the moon is full, you will lose. When the water is full, you will overflow. When you should be confused, you should be confused. Otherwise, you will be tired all your life! Well, let's not talk about this topic. Xiao Chu, I'll leave this painting and I'll mount it for you. How about that? "
Chu Chen nodded his head and said, "Mr. Liu, of course I'd like to, but it's too much trouble for you."
Mr. Liu waved his hand and said, "what's the trouble? I wish you could frame works like this often. By the way, you just came here today. You can take back the two previous works."
"Mr. Liu, didn't you agree to keep the picture for a month?"
Liu shook his head and said, "it's enough for you to have this heart. Besides, if you move here in the future, I don't want to see it unless you don't want to show it to me."
Chu Chen quickly said: "how is this possible? If you want to see it at that time, just say hello to me."
Next, after Liu gave him some information about antiques, he took a nap. Originally Chu Chen was ready to go home, but he didn't expect that the designer Liu Qinshu said had already arrived.
The designer's surname is Shi. He looks like he's in his sixties. After talking, he realized that he was actually a professor of architecture at Jingcheng University, and two of his students came with him.
