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. "
"If there were more people like you in our society, the loss of cultural relics in our country would be much better."
Seeing Chu Chen's statement, Qiao Qingtai sighed. Then he said with a smile, "Xiao Chu, it's easy for me to ask you for help. I got the news in advance that the national treasure will appear in a black market tomorrow as the final piece. My task is to photograph the national treasure first. "
"Originally, I wanted Xiao Han to arrange someone to take me. The other party was also a boss, but his wealth was a little thin for the national treasure. If it was photographed, I was afraid it would arouse the suspicion of those people. I didn't expect to meet you today, so that's no problem. "
"Well, it's easy. Let's go together then."
Chu Chen nodded and agreed directly. As for Qiao Qingtai, they didn't arrest these people when they learned about the national treasure. He didn't 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 disturbance, these people will be gone.
In this way, it's better to buy the national treasure first, and finally even if the gang gets away, the national treasure will not be smuggled abroad. Otherwise, if we really want to smuggle the national treasure abroad, we should be able to think about the difficulty of recovery.
Qiao Qingtai simply said what should be paid attention to at that time, and said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, do you have anything to do today?"
Chu Chen shook his head and said that he had planned to go out to play.
Next to Han Yu Song Wen Yan said: "teacher Chu, I don't know if you have time to go to my shop and give me some guidance?"
Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "Xiao Han, your brain turns fast enough."
Han Yu Song said with a smile, "isn't this teacher Chu's rare visit to xiazhou?"
"I believe you!" Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "in order to increase the reputation of his antique shop, this boy never misses a chance. Every time I come here, he asks me to write for him. However, over the years, what he hangs in his shop is the one I wrote the first time, and I don't know whether he sold the rest or what."
Han Yu and song Lianlian waved his hand and said, "Uncle Qiao, if you say that, you will bury me. I have carefully preserved those words and passed them down as family heirlooms. No matter how, I won't sell your words for money! And if I do, my dad won't break my leg! "
"As for the picture that you have been hanging in the shop, isn't it because it's rare? If you have too many words, it will lower your value. "
Qiao Qingtai said with a smile, "I'm not a calligrapher. I'm not worth anything."
"Uncle Qiao, you are too modest. If you don't believe me, ask Mr. Chu, how is your calligraphy level?"
"Isn't that nonsense? When I ask Xiao Chu face to face, will he say that my calligraphy is poor? "
Chuchen said with a smile, "Mr. Qiao, you are indeed too modest. My master has praised your calligraphy."
Han Yu Song said with a smile: "look, I'm right..."
Joking for a while, we went to one of the many antique markets in xiazhou by car. This antique market is located in a north-south lane. There are about 40 stores on both sides of the lane. Half of them are mainly made of porcelain and jade. Stone is also a major item. It is estimated that there are more than 10 stores, 45 stores for miscellaneous items, and one or two stores specializing in jade.
Han Yusong's antique shop is one of the ones dealing in miscellaneous items. The shop front is not big or small. When they walk into the shop with Han Yusong, they see a young man in his twenties or thirties introducing the antiques on the Bogu shelf to a middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man looked at Chu Chen and others, and then pointed out a blue and white bottle for the young man to help introduce. Judging from what he asked, this person is likely to be a novice, and should not have been here several times, not even the boss did not know.
Han Yusong just nodded to the young man and took the three men to the reception room.
At this time, the middle-aged man asked, "do you have any calligraphy works of he Shaoji?"
The young man was stunned when he heard the words. Then he looked at Han Yusong. There was a calligraphy work by he Shaoji in the shop, but the price was not cheap. It was not up to him as a part-time worker to decide.
Han Yusong also heard what the middle-aged man said, so he apologized to other humanitarians. Then he went up to the middle-aged man and asked, "Sir, do you want the calligraphy works of he Shaoji?"
The middle-aged man looked at Han Yusong a little, nodded and said, "yes, are you the owner of this shop?"
Han Yusong nodded: "we do have one of he Shaoji's calligraphy works, but there is one thing I have to tell you in advance. The price of this work is not low."
The middle-aged man waved his hand and said: "as long as I can see the things, the price is completely negotiable."
"Yes! Please come insideWith that, the middle-aged man was also invited into the reception room by Han Yusong. When the young clerk had prepared tea for everyone, Han Yusong came back with a painting and calligraphy brocade box. He put the box on a long table beside him and invited everyone to watch it.
He Shaoji is a poet, painter and calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty. He is very diligent. He said: "I have studied Zhuan for more than 40 years. The rule of regular script was divided into the true regular script from the Northern Dynasty
In his early years, he Shaoji started with Yan Zhenqing and Ouyang Tong, and went up to the Qin and Han zhuanli. He is very proficient in writing Han Dynasty steles, such as the stele of Zhang Qian and the stele of ritual utensils. He has written them more than 100 times. And then "grass, seal, points, line melting into a furnace, dragon change, unpredictable already." So far, there are still many copies.
In his middle age, he devoted himself to Beibei stele, and wrote characters with strong personality with the unusual method of turning back the wrist.
He Shaoji said: "if you use zhongfengran to write, you can have it all around you. Is it safe? How are you? Are you not strong? Not so far away? This matter must hold the pen when the mention of Dantian workers, high vision, winding vertical send, from the transport God, can get this gas. When it's really round, it's hard, it's hard! "
It can be seen that he attaches great importance to Zhongfeng and has a deep understanding of it. This also created his own calligraphy style, which was praised by the world.
The calligraphy work in front of us is a seven character couplet in vertical ink running script, and the paper is made of gold paper.
In fact, when making rice paper in ancient times, for the sake of beauty and other reasons, gold and silver powder or gold and silver foil would be added to the paper with rubber powder. After being made, little gold and silver powder or pieces of gold and silver foil would be seen on the colored powder wax paper, which is called "gold and silver five color wax paper", also known as "gold and silver paper".
In addition to the special paper, this work of running script can be described as a book with high speed, skillful but not greasy, which perfectly interprets the characteristics of he Shaoji's running script.
Calligraphy seems to absorb not only the ups and downs and mellow mood of inscriptions, but also the majestic momentum of Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, forming his calligraphy charm of both ups and downs and strength.
As a scholar in the Qing Dynasty commented, "because of the unrestrained and unrestrained spirit, sometimes in a line, it looks like the fighting power of a strong man, the muscles and bones emerge, and sometimes it looks like a cup to rein in a horse. It's detached, not proficient in the four body, familiar with the eight methods, so it's impossible to understand the subtlety."
From this, we can see the spirit contained in he Shaoji's running script.
"Good!"
Although it's just a seven character couplet in front of me, from the perspective of the old style of writing and the artistic conception it contains, it should be a masterpiece of he Shaoji's running calligraphy in his later years. Qiao Qingtai, who loves calligraphy, can't help but praise it.
To be honest, Qiao Qingtai is also eager to collect this couplet at this time, but first come, then come is a rule that everyone in the antique industry attaches great importance to. No matter how good his relationship with he Shaoji is, he can't break this Convention.
Seeing Qiao Qingtai's hot eyes, Han Yusong regrets that he didn't think much about it when he said it just now. However, he did it subconsciously, and the reason was that the price of the couplet he got was a little higher. In terms of the current market situation, it is estimated that it will take another three or four years for him to keep his capital.
In this case, only those new people who don't know much about it can make him sell at a breakeven price as soon as possible.
But at this point, for the sake of his reputation, Han Yusong can only talk about the business first, but there are still some contradictions in his mind. On the one hand, he doesn't want to disappoint Qiao Qingtai. On the other hand, he wants to sell at a breakeven price as soon as possible, which makes him feel very tangled.
However, no matter how tangled Han Yusong was, business still had to be discussed. So he took the middle-aged man aside and they began to bargain. However, the process was not smooth. Although the middle-aged man liked the work, the price was very low, let alone guaranteed the capital. Even the normal market price could not reach it.
This made Han Yusong very angry. Looking at the middle-aged man's appearance that oil and salt didn't enter, he was also a little impatient and said, "Mr. Qian, the price just now can't be lower anyway."
"No way!" The middle-aged man shook his head repeatedly to express his disagreement.
The price Han Yusong said just now is slightly lower than his purchase price. If it is lower, he might as well transfer this couplet to Qiao Qingtai to earn a favor. Since the middle-aged man does not agree, he also says that the deal can't go on.
The middle-aged man shrugged his shoulders and left without saying much.
After the middle-aged man left, Qiao Qingtai said, "Xiao Han, what's the matter with this man?"
"Maybe my price is too high?" Han Yu Song laughs. Even though he has lost some money on the price he gave, it is indeed higher than the current market price. It is quite normal for the other party to feel dissatisfied.
