Nightfall Chapter 232: Authentic
Volume Two, Winter Lake, Chapter 232, the Original Relics
Because practitioners and ordinary people are originally two worlds, even though Ning Que's position in the heart of the Tang Dynasty is still the main reason for the status of the great calligrapher, in the old treasurer, even with the cut at the side door of the academy. In the hearts of such practitioners, Ning's status is even more prominent. (《》7*
Because of the admiration for Ning Que, it is clear that the little maid can get the blue cloth wrapper through the little maid, but the shopkeeper is very shameless to the little maid—the word "unprovoked" refers to character. In the eyes of the old shopkeeper, the little maid stealing property from the owner's house is really nothing.
The old shopkeeper thought for a moment, neither dismissing the little maid’s behavior, and somewhat difficult to suppress the temptation of money, and asked in a low voice: “Since the little maid stole it, we swallowed it, and she didn’t dare to report to the officer. I dare not let everyone know about Ning, you think otherwise we..."
"If you don't want to die, stop these thoughts."
Listening to the old shopkeeper’s words, the boss of Yishiju frowned slightly and warned in a sharp tone: “Don’t make this remark in the future. I heard that the little maid’s identity is unusual, and she has a very good relationship with the princess. With the news, Ning everyone treats this maid differently."
"Even if Ning was finally admitted to the house, that little maid would be nothing more than a woman who is greedy for money. This kind of temperament is not worthy of such a character as Ning."
The old shopkeeper suddenly thought of something and said: "My boss, I'd rather you are not ordinary bookmakers. Will we have problems selling secretly like this?"
The boss said: "The little maid is very fortunate. All Ning’s seals are kept by her, and the verification documents have been obtained, so these are naturally not stolen goods. Even if everyone discovers this in the future, they can only be investigated. On that little maid, we don’t have to take responsibility according to Tang law."
The old shopkeeper praised: "The owner's actions are really reassuring."
The boss picked up the blue cloth package on the table and asked: "They are all in the courtyard?"
The old shopkeeper nodded.
……
……
One stone is located in the west courtyard, hidden behind the three-story main building, and under the nine green trees. The breeze of the lake has slowed down, and it is most quiet. Several men walked out of the house and saw them.
Some of these men are from the Song Dynasty, some are from the Southern Jin Dynasty, some are from Datang Yangguan, and one is Mr. Dajiang from the Changan Xiangmozhai. They are all from the painting and calligraphy appraisal of their respective countries. The chief figure, yes, no matter the gray hair or the indifferent expression, there is a proud and confident expression between his eyes. (《》7*
"Brother Mo Shi, are you here too?"
"Brother Jie Fu...who is the silent man under the grape truss, he looks familiar."
"It seems that I have seen it once in the Royal Palace of Yue Kingdom the year before last."
With the exchange of identities, the proud and confident expressions in these people's eyes gradually turned into consternation, because they discovered that the reputation and status of the rest of the people in the courtyard is not weaker than that of themselves. Many of them are well-known for a long time, but they have never seen it before. Thinking of today, they are all meeting in this small courtyard.
The brother Mo Shi stroked his beard and said with emotion: "Yi Shi has been living in these years, and it has been so beautiful. He can invite so many of us in such a short period of time."
The old man called Brother Jiefu shook his head and said with emotion: "If the things sold this time were too rare and too precious, how could you and I gather here."
Referring to the details of this sale, several men, including the silent man under the grape truss, stood closer, lowered their voices and began to discuss, and at the same time, they looked at how much the other party knew about the matter.
"How many volumes are there today?"
"No one knows the exact number. I only know that there are the most in the Imperial Study Room. I heard that your Majesty searched for more than half of it in Laobi Zhai."
Brother Mo Shi said bitterly: "Hidden in the dim imperial study room, you can't watch it, you can't appreciate it, you can't be realistic, people can't get close to it, this is really..."
He wanted to criticize His Majesty the Tang Emperor for perverse actions, but even though Chang'an was politically clear, he still did not dare to speak out.
"Master Jijiu and Wang Daxue’s mansion each have a few copies. Other mansions should have about four volumes, but these elders all put Dongfang in their own mansion, which is more than what your majesty hid. It’s important, it’s easy not to show it to others."
"There are many rubbings of chicken soup posts, but no one has seen the originals. It is rumored that they are on the Royal University Scholars' Mansion."
"Before everyone became famous, some lucky people bought some authentic works in Lin 47 Lane. They were fired at extremely high prices this year. Most of them disappeared after changing hands twice. There are twelve volumes. The latest chapter of the church"
"I don't know how many volumes Yishiju took this time. I wonder if there is a middle hall?"
"Central Hall? Wide format is impossible."
"If it is a post, it must be at least three numbers, otherwise the owner of this stone house will not take so much money to invite all of us."
The calligraphy and painting appraisers were discussing enthusiastically, and at this moment, the courtyard door creaked and was pushed open, and the owner of Yishiju came in carrying a blue floral cloth package.
Everyone followed the boss back to the flower hall, their eyes never leaving the blue floral cloth wrapped in his hand. They were a little confused and full of eager anticipation.
The boss gently put the blue floral cloth package on the table, stretched out one hand, and motioned to please.
The old shopkeeper took two confidants and entourage, carrying clean water towels.
The calligraphy and painting appraisers immediately gathered around, washing their hands with the fastest speed and the most careful attitude, and after drying them with a towel, they took the oil-absorbing tissues handed over by the shopkeeper and pointed them carefully. The residual water and oil in the room were soaked up, and then he surrounded the blue cloth package.
The middle-aged man called Brother Mo Shi, rolled up his sleeves and raised his hands, looked at the coarse blue cloth wrap, and said displeased: "When did a stone house break into this look? Wrapped in cloth. , Not to mention that it will hurt the book posts inside, only that this kind of breath is also extremely bad."
For such professionals who appreciate books all their lives, the owner of Yishiju can't afford to offend, but the professional habits they have cultivated in their bones make them intolerant of what they are seeing.
The owner of Yishiju gave a wry smile and did not explain, he reached out and unwrapped the blue cloth package, revealing the slightly flat square box inside, which was also made of very coarse cardboard paper.
Brother Mo Shi became increasingly unhappy, reached out his hand to open the box, and froze at the table.
The whole flower hall became quiet and silent.
The appraisers looked at the paper in the box, and they were shocked and unable to speak. They felt that their eyes were a little dizzy. After a long while, someone called out in disbelief: "Seven!"
The boss walked to the side and sat down, took a sip from his teacup, smiled and said, "Look first."
……
……
The appraisers gathered around the table and carefully took out the signatures from the box. They were the best people in the industry. It didn't take long for them to confirm that the seven signatures in the box were authentic.
Although there are still doubts about the time of the post, everyone thinks that it should be newly written, but this does not affect the value of the post itself, so the appraisers were shocked. They did not expect that one stone would live this time. The handwriting is so big, it can even be said that there is nowhere to see so many authentic works except in the Imperial Study Room of the Datang Palace.
The most shocking thing was the post at the bottom of the box.
Be prepared to say that it was a crumpled note paper.
But in their eyes, that note paper is more precious than the most expensive preface of Xishan in the legend.
Because there is chicken soup in this memo pad.
"Although it should be authentic, it's just that...everyone knows that the original chicken soup post was bought by a Wang University scholar for four thousand taels of silver and is now hidden in the bachelor's house."
Brother Mo Shi frowned and said, "Is this one recently copied by everyone?"
Everyone at the table frowned and wondered, thinking that there is indeed a problem.
Brother Mo Shi carefully held the two corners of the note paper with his fingertips and lifted it into the air, facing the clear sunlight outside the flower hall, trying to see what was wrong inside.
An appraiser of Song Dynasty who was standing opposite him suddenly gave a whisper, pointed to the sticky paper and said: "There are words."
When everyone looked at it, there was a nice line of small characters behind the memo pad.
"This one is real."
……
……
"Who wrote this?"
The Song country appraiser was puzzled and even angrily roared: "Even if this chicken soup post is a recent copy, it is considered a very precious product, how can you write at will!"
Brother Mo Shi shook his head and looked at the line of small prints and said with emotion: "Except for everyone Ning, who can write such good characters, if he wrote it, it will not destroy the value, but add color ."
"Could it be that this chicken soup post is the original?"
"You Ning signed your signature for guarantee, it is naturally the original."
"The one that was bought by the king's scholar with a lot of money?"
"The Wang Gong's photo... is naturally fake."
The seats are all quiet.
Although they are not practitioners, they have all heard of the legendary stories about chicken soup posts, especially as the rubbings of chicken soup posts are widely circulated in the world, many people think that if only value theory is used, chicken soup posts are almost ready. Close to the flower blooming in the collection of the Imperial Study Room.
Someone murmured in shock: "How much is the right price for this bid?"
"When the prince bought it for four thousand taels, it is said to be a fake friendship, and everyone's reputation is beginning to show."
The man who was silent under the grape truss in the courtyard before, entered the flower hall and was still silent, suddenly said: "Give some time to publicize, it can irritate the best of the Wang University Scholars..."
The man raised his head, looked at the owner of Yishiju and the appraisers, and said: "Thirty thousand, this chicken soup is sold by my hand, and it is less than thirty thousand, so I have no face to see people." /
As these words were uttered, the silent man no longer looked dull, he looked extremely confident and proud, as if he had drawn a cold sharp blade out of a rusty sheath.
Everyone finally recognized who the silent man was.
This man is the most famous seller in the calligraphy and painting industry.
"Very good."
The owner of Yishiju stood up, and then suddenly remembered Shuozuoer’s confession, after thinking for a moment, he looked at the seller and said, “It’s just a rule to write it down. Ning everyone has the right to choose the buyer. ."
The man frowned slightly, because he had rarely heard of such a request.
The boss didn't explain much.
The reason why he did this is because the origin of these seven calligraphy is a bit shameful. Although from the Tang law, Yishiju does not have to bear the responsibility, but in case this matter is exposed, Yishiju must make a good calligraphy. The preparation for being retracted, such a rule was written in advance, first of all, to give Ning everyone a face, and secondly, the sale was invalid, so as to appease those who are qualified to buy book posts.
