Chapter 699

The stall owner thinks that Zhu Dafu and other candidates are all fake goods. Such things are obviously not worth much money. Even if all the four candidates add up, they will not cost 100 yuan, which makes him very upset.

At this time, he saw Chu Chen looking through the books, and seemed to be interested in them. He said to Chu Chen, "little brother, those books can only be sold in packages."

The reason why he said he wanted to sell it in a package was that he wanted to earn more money from chuchen. Of course, if chuchen didn't buy it, it didn't matter. He didn't worry about selling genuine products like this.

"Package for sale?" Chu Chen didn't really come across this kind of thing. For a moment, he thought it was funny.

"Yes

"How much is that?"

The stall owner thought about it and said, "eight hundred in all."

There are only ten ancient books here. Chu Chen has read all the five of them. They are the most common block printed books from the late Qing Dynasty to the end of the Qing Dynasty. The remaining five should not be much better. If it costs 800 yuan, he will not be interested in it. Instead, he might as well choose something cheaper.

However, just when he wanted to refuse, he found that the seventh ancient book was actually a album.

Album is a kind of mounting form of painting and calligraphy works, and it is also one of the traditional forms of book binding in ancient China. The calligraphy and painting album appeared in the Song Dynasty under the influence of the book album. As a kind of painting and calligraphy sketch, its small size, easy to create, easy to preserve the characteristics of painting and calligraphy by the favorite and collectors.

When he found out that it was the album, Chu Chen opened it curiously and looked at it. At this time, his surprise was not mentioned. Fortunately, his reaction speed was very fast, he quickly pretended to be very casual to read things, and then he looked at the remaining three books.

To Chu Chen's surprise, the last one was actually a note written by someone, and the handwriting on it made him feel like a familiar person, which made him very surprised.

Of course, at this moment, it's obviously not the time to think. Zhu Dafu and others have already selected things and completed the transaction.

As for the price, it's almost the same as what the stall owner just estimated. It's less than 100 yuan. However, Zhu Dafu won't pay for Ji Wanyou's money. In the end, the stall owner asked for 200 yuan for Ji Wanyou's things. Because Ji Wanyou has something in his hands, he can only swallow it.

"Boss, these books of yours are all ordinary engravings, and they are worth eight hundred?" Chu Chen didn't take the note to talk about it. He was afraid that because of the accident like the note, the other party would look at the books again and find the extraordinary page of the album.

Ji Wanyou's selection cost little to the stall owner. He earned 200 yuan. He was in a good mood. He also had a rough look at the above books and knew that such ordinary goods were not worth any money. So he asked with a smile, "how much do you want?"

"Two hundred!"

"No way!" The stall owner shook his head and said, "two hundred is too little. It's not enough for me. At least six hundred!"

"Boss, you are so common. If I didn't like to collect such books, I wouldn't buy such things. Well, I'll add another 40."

"No, no matter how it is, it's from the Qing Dynasty. This business can't be done at your price. If you really want it, I'll count you 500..."

Next, after some bargaining, the price was set at 322.

After paying the money, Chu Chen joked at the stall owner, then took out the album and handed it to Zhu Dafu, saying: "Uncle Fu, how about this album?"

Zhu Dafu had also told Chu Chen that he liked collecting ancient books, which was a little strange. Seeing this, he didn't understand that Chu Chen might have picked it up again. He quickly took the album to him.

This is a foldable album. There is no writing on the cover. Zhu Dafu carefully opened the album. When he saw the contents, he suddenly stared at the eldest one with an unbelievable look on his face. Then he looked up and asked Chu Chen in shock: "is this Tang Yin's book of fallen flowers?"

"What?"

"Tang Yin's book of fallen flower poems?" When people around heard that it was Tang Bohu's, they quickly gathered around and tried to watch it.

Seeing this, Chu Chen whispered a "blunder". The reason why he took things out now was to stimulate the stall owner who wanted to "touch porcelain" and let him learn a lesson. However, he forgot that other people are not as used to such good things as he is.

Fortunately, this booth is relatively remote, and there are not many people around. When Zhu Dafu saw the scene, he lost control and quickly closed the album and held the things in his arms.

At this time, Qiao Qingtai hastened: "go, go! Let's go back and talk about it! "

Everyone agreed one after another, so they immediately squeezed out the crowd and walked back quickly.

As soon as Chu Chen and others left, a nearly 60 year old man came to the back. Seeing that many people were sighing "pity", he asked curiously, "what's the matter? What's the matter?"One of them knew the old man and explained, "it's old Ann! Just now, shopkeeper Meng Yi took out a Book of Tang Yin's poems on falling flowers here

Before the man finished speaking, the old man said, "what, do you mean it's true?"

The man shook his head: "I don't know whether it's true or not!"

Someone nearby said: "I think it's really possible. You don't know, that young man is not simple. If I read it correctly, he should be the expert named Chu Chen who has been on Beijing TV station."

"Ah! When you say that, I really think of it. It seems that it's him. It's said that this man has a high level, and he's also a favorite student of old Liu in Beijing... "

Hearing this, the old man looked very worried and hurriedly chased Chu Chen in the direction of leaving.

At the same time, the stall owner had been completely stunned. He had instinctively thought that Chu Chen wanted to give him a set, so no matter what, he would not believe it. But in the end, it was said that Chu Chen was the expert who had been on Beijing TV station. It seemed that this was really the case.

Knowing this, he didn't know what to say. He said in secret: "I really missed a big leak. How could it be? It's impossible It's impossible

Thinking of the end, the stall owner could not help roaring.

"Go, go! This guy must be crazy! "

Seeing the ferocious expression of the stall owner, some people urged his friends to leave quickly, and everyone fled away.

Chuchen and others just left for a while, Meng Yixian saw Ji Wanyou who was still following them, and said with disgust: "what are you doing with them?"

Ji Wanyou is slightly stunned, and then he opens his mouth, but finds that he really has no suitable reason.

"Wanyou, go back first!" Ji Haoliang also said, at this time, he has realized that today, it is very likely that Ji Wanyou is also involved in it, but he is still due to face, so he is not polite to Ji Wanyou now.

When Ji Wanyou heard that, he had to leave. When he got to the place where Chu Chen and others couldn't see him, he spat in the direction of Chu Chen and others: "a group of ungrateful guys, if it wasn't for me, how could you have the chance to pick up the leak Ah! If I had known that, why didn't I read those books first... "

But Ji Wanyou was envious. As soon as he left, the old man caught up with him.

Hearing the old man's cry, Chu Chen and others turned their heads. When he ran to his eyes, Meng Yi first asked with a smile:

"I said Lao an, what's the matter with you?"

The old man gasped a few times. After a while, he raised his head and said, "I'm so tired, oh! Who am I? It's Lao Zhu and Lao Qiao! This must be Mr. Liu's master, Chu Chen? "

It turns out that the old man's name is an Gongshi, and he opened an antique shop not far away. He and Zhu Dafu are also old friends.

After a few pleasantries, an Gong Shi quickly said, "I heard that Xiao Chu had just found Tang Yin's book of fallen flower poems? Can you show me? "

"Of course, but should we change places?" Chuchen said with a smile.

"Yes, yes..."

An Gongshi nodded and then led them to a nearby teahouse.

After waiting for the waiter to leave, in everyone's expectant eyes, he just got the book of Tang Yin's "poetry of falling flowers" out and unfolded.

In the history of Chinese art, the late Ming Dynasty is a peak, and in the history of late Ming Dynasty, Tang Yin is also a peak. Tang Yin, together with Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming and Qiu Ying, is known as the "four schools of Ming Dynasty". Moreover, Tang Yin is also the leader of the "Wumen calligraphy school" in the late Ming Dynasty. The influence of the "Wumen calligraphy school" on the later history of Chinese calligraphy and today's Wumen calligraphers is very far-reaching.

In general people's impression, Tang Yin seems to be just a "romantic talent" who can recite a little poetry and painting. This kind of "romantic talent" can be seen almost everywhere in Jiangnan during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so it may not be placed in an important position in the history of art.

However, in fact, Tang Yin is by no means a romantic talent and little scholar in the eyes of ordinary people, but an art master with independent artistic character and spirit.

Although Tang Yin is called "the most romantic talent in the south of the Yangtze River" in later generations, in fact, Tang Yin is not really romantic, but experienced bitterness and bitterness. In fact, Tang Yin is an all-round artist who catharsis his cruel reality and miserable life through art.

In his early years, Tang Yin took the first place in the local examination. Later, he was implicated in the imperial dance fraud case, and his fame was frustrated. In his later life, he built the "Taohua nunnery" in Taohuawu, northwest of Gusu City, which is famous for selling paintings. His personal frustrations impel him to adopt an unrestrained and worldly life style, which is "free and uninhibited, rather addicted to voice and color". In fact, he often uses poetry, calligraphy and painting to vent his anger.

However, different from other artists, Tang Yin's poems and paintings are less compassionate and resentful than those of other literati, but more broad-minded, detached and leisurely, not broad and broad, not reaching and uneven and flat. This is the high realm of art and life.
