Chapter 49: Calligraphy
Kunyang Antique City.
One of the largest markets in Gaocheng City, covering an area of several hundred square meters, each store sells a wide variety of antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
There is usually an endless stream of calligraphy enthusiasts, but for some reason today, there are very few people in the antique city.
However, this did not affect Li Fei's curiosity at all. He looked around and finally stopped at a large calligraphy and painting shop and walked in.
The shop owner was studying calligraphy and painting when he looked up and saw a young man walking in with great dignity, holding a pair of calligraphy and painting in his hand. He knew that business was coming to his door and hurriedly greeted him.
"I wonder what the little brother is here to sell today?" The boss rubbed his hands and asked with a smile.
"Boss, you have very good taste. I'm just here to sell things."
Li Fei sat on the chair in the shop with a little shudder, and handed the calligraphy and painting in his hand to the boss.
"This is a rare treasure of mine, so just give me eighteen million."
When the boss heard Li Fei's words, he almost dropped the calligraphy and painting in his hand. His eyes were solemn. It seemed that this young man's calligraphy and painting was extraordinary.
He placed the calligraphy and painting on the spacious red pine table, carefully unfolded the scroll, and the handwriting inside emerged in front of his eyes bit by bit.
After unfolding it all, he felt that the calligraphy and painting seemed familiar. After looking carefully, he finally recognized the calligraphy and painting.
He rolled up the calligraphy and painting quickly, the smile on his face disappeared, and threw the calligraphy and painting directly to Li Fei.
"You came over here to fool me. Get out of here with your calligraphy and paintings. I won't give you even a cent of the money you paid for it."
Once upon a time, a gentleman named Huo came over with this calligraphy and painting and asked him to take a look at it. As a result of his appraisal, the calligraphy and painting was a fake.
And not only did I say so, there were many knowledgeable people at the time, and everyone came to the same conclusion.
Li Fei caught the calligraphy and painting thrown over and shook his head.
"It seems that you are not a knowledgeable person. It seems that your standard is not high enough."
Just kidding, he has been familiar with all kinds of calligraphy since he was a child under the pressure of the dead old man, and is especially interested in Wang Xizhi's calligraphy. There is no doubt that this calligraphy and painting is authentic.
"My level is not good enough, not enough."
The boss repeated it twice, pointed at himself, and continued coldly: "Since you say that your calligraphy and painting are real, then take your calligraphy and painting to the antique shop on East Street. The famous calligraphy master Gu Wenxuan happened to be there today.
, go find him and have a look."
"However, I still advise you not to go, lest you be exposed by Master Gu in public and make yourself uncomfortable."
The tone was full of sarcasm.
"Just go, I will let you know how much of a fool you are."
Li Fei took the calligraphy and paintings and walked out of the antique shop and walked towards East Street.
"Who is the frog in the well? It's not certain."
The shop owner handed the shop over to the clerk, who also followed behind Li Fei.
His ability in appreciating calligraphy and painting in the antique city is well-known. Today, a boy actually said that he was sitting in a well and looking at the sky. Later, the ancient master also said that the calligraphy and painting were fake. Look at how embarrassed this boy was.
So, the two of them arrived at the East Street antique shop.
Many people gathered around the antique shop. There was a table in front of them with the Four Treasures of the Study on it. People kept leaving their own calligraphy on the paper.
And some people left sadly, sighing uncontrollably.
Li Fei stopped one person, and then he understood the cause of the matter.
Gu Wenxuan was a majestic master, so how could he meet everyone, so he asked the visitor to write down his own calligraphy, and the antique shop clerk at the table brought it to Master Gu.
If the calligraphy treasure can enter the eyes of the ancient master, the ancient master will meet him.
The purpose of the visitor is very simple. I heard that there is a calligraphy competition in Gaocheng City, and I want to participate, but I have no way.
Knowing that Master Gu was a judge of the calligraphy competition, I naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity.
But most of them come here happily, but are not summoned by the old master, and thus return home disappointed.
"Boy, I don't think you have a chance to meet Master Gu." The shop owner said sarcastically.
"Isn't it just a matter of writing a few words? Master, I will write it right away."
Li Fei casually picked up the brush beside the table, dipped it in ink, waved it towards the paper, and then stepped aside.
"Done."
The shop owner was very surprised. The young man finished writing in just one breath.
He stepped forward to check with curiosity, wanting to see what word Li Fei used.
When he saw it clearly, Li Fei wrote the word "一", and he wrote it so casually that he couldn't hold it back and burst into laughter.
"I think you are just joking on purpose. With your bad character, it would be strange for Master Gu to see you."
Seeing the shop owner smiling so brightly, the onlookers stepped forward to examine Li Fei's handwriting. They couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Little brother, either I'm bragging to you, or whatever you write is a hundred times better than yours."
"You'd better not have any hope anymore. Master Gu will never see you. Your word is really bad."
"You can come back after you practice for two more years."
"Then we'll see."
Li Fei glanced at everyone, spoke calmly, and then turned to the clerk in the antique city.
"After Master Gu read my words, he asked him to come and greet me personally."
"Hahaha!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Everyone burst into laughter. In their opinion, Li Fei was just a clown jumping up and down, very funny.
Some people laughed so much that they bent over, some laughed so hard that they shed tears, and the most exaggerated one was the shop owner, who laughed so hard that he sat or lay on the ground.
"You're teasing me to death. You can be said to have been responsible for my jokes for a year."
The clerk at the antique city looked at Li Fei like he was an idiot, then walked towards the antique store with all the calligraphy treasures on the table.
With this broken character, I still want to see Master Gu. I just took the wrong medicine.
"Just laugh, I'll see how long you can laugh." Li Fei sat on the stool disapprovingly and yawned.
Not long after, hurried footsteps were heard inside the antique store. The door of the antique store opened, and an old man with a gray beard, bright eyes, and wearing a Chinese tunic suit stepped out.
This old man was the calligraphy master Gu Wenxuan. They did not dare to be disrespectful in any way, so they all stopped laughing.
