Chapter 9 Union Saints

Zhuang Rui was a little impatient and even rudely pushed aside the letters and notes in the box. Two scrolls about fifty centimeters long were exposed at the bottom of the box. Without taking a closer look, Zhuang Rui couldn't wait to take out the scrolls, but started.

He was still more careful. At this moment, these two scrolls were undoubtedly the most important things in his mind.

You know, since the aura was generated in his eyes, Zhuang Rui has been trying every means to increase the amount of aura. After two consumptions, the aura has become very thin, and there is no way to replenish it. Although he can now use

Control whether the spiritual energy is output, but these days when Zhuang Rui is in contact with people, his eyes are wandering, for fear of accidentally releasing the spiritual energy. If the spiritual energy in his eyes is really exhausted, then he will be crying without tears.

.

I haven't felt this way for a long time. When he held the two scrolls in his hands, although Zhuang Rui didn't know whether they were scrolls or banners, Zhuang Rui could feel his heart beating "bang bang", as if he was about to jump.

It's like coming out of your throat.

Ignoring wiping the dust off the scroll, Zhuang Rui carefully placed it on his bed, then walked to the bathroom and washed his face with cold tap water before feeling relieved.

After returning to his room, Zhuang Rui did not open the scroll, but sat on the bed, placed the scroll on his lap, and looked at the scroll intently. Green light flashed, and spiritual energy came out of his eyes, reflecting on the scroll.

, but the result disappointed Zhuang Rui, because the amount of spiritual energy returned to the eyes did not increase again. The experiment just now was the same as the previous perspective of ordinary books, only the objects below could be seen through the scroll.

"What exactly went wrong?".

Zhuang Rui was slightly disappointed, but he could bear this result. After all, the amount of spiritual energy had indeed increased before. What he needed now was to find the correct way to increase the spiritual energy in his eyes. He did not expect it to be repeated at first.

Absorb spiritual energy from these two scrolls.

Zhuang Rui stood up, found a clean towel, wiped the dust on the outside of the two scrolls, then opened the scrolls and laid them flat on his bed.

After opening the scroll, Zhuang Rui discovered that there were two words. One said: An Zhi Fenghuang is not as good as me, and the other said: Eat clams and Lixiu asked the sky. The inscription on it was: "generous".

, there is also a red seal stamped below the style, with four words on it: Generous interpretation.

These two calligraphy are written vigorously, freshly, and happily, with a sense of randomness. Although Zhuang Rui does not understand calligraphy, he also knows that the author has deep skills. It can be seen that the paper used for these two calligraphy has turned slightly yellow, and the wooden scroll

The two sides are also a little faded, and they belong to my grandfather's collection. They should be at least the works before the founding of the People's Republic of China.

Zhuang Rui had never heard of Dafang, but it was not very difficult to find out the origin of Dafang. If you didn't understand it yourself, you could ask Uncle De.

After thinking of this, Zhuang Rui immediately picked up the phone and called Uncle De. After the call was connected, Uncle De's angry voice came over: "It's Xiaozhuang, is it back home? I was talking about the past few days.

I want to give you a call. How are you? Are you okay...".

Zhuang Rui couldn't help but blush when he heard this. After he got home, he didn't even know to call to make sure he was safe. He only thought of others when something happened. He quickly said: "Uncle De, I'm fine, and there's nothing wrong with my health. I'll try to go to work early after the Chinese New Year."

, I am making this call to put your mind at ease.”

"As long as everything is fine, don't rush to work, rest at home for a while, I have made arrangements for the pawn shop, don't worry, ask your mother for me how is the Chinese New Year, if nothing happens I will hang up, a bunch of apprentices will come to me

Happy New Year...".

Uncle De's side is a little noisy. He is also a well-known figure in the Zhonghai antiques industry. He has a large group of disciples and disciples, and the house is always lively during the Chinese New Year.

"Uncle De, I really have something to ask you..." These two words were of great importance to Zhuang Rui, and he couldn't care less about being polite.

"Oh? Then wait, I'll come out to answer the phone...".

Uncle De was a little surprised. He was not interested in anything he knew. After being together for a year, he had never seen him use the word "ask for advice".

"Uncle De, what's going on is that my old house is going to be demolished. I went to clean up my grandfather's belongings and found two words inside, which read: I know that the Phoenix Emperor is not as good as me, and I can't ask for help if I eat clams." Signed

It's the word "generous". You also know that I know everything about these things, but I don't know anything at all. I can't help but ask you for advice...".

Zhuang Rui reported the sizes of the two characters to Uncle De. He was really worried, fearing that Uncle De would not know the origin of the characters.

After hearing what Zhuang Rui said, Uncle De burst out laughing and said: "You are an ignorant boy. You were reluctant to learn something from me before, but now you know that there is no harm in having more knowledge...

”.

Zhuang Rui naturally apologized repeatedly and promised to learn more knowledge from Uncle De in the future. Only then did he find out the identity of Dafang.

Dafang, also known as Fang Dishan, was born in 1873. His original name was Fang Erqian, whose courtesy name was Dishan. He was from Jiangdu (now Yangzhou City), Jiangsu Province. He was born into a scholarly family (his father Fang Peisen was a member of the Dingmao imperial examination in Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty. He has been in the local area for many years.

In charge of teaching), he was good at calligraphy and couplets. He was a famous scholar, calligrapher and coupletist in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

Fang Dishan was smart and intelligent when he was young. He was good at calligraphy. He was proficient in epigraphy, calligraphy, painting and ancient book editions. His calligraphy was sharp and steep, with a mountain spirit. He pretended to be wild and unrestrained. He was frivolous, humorous and unkempt. He was admitted as a scholar at the age of 13.

Later, he taught at the Beiyang Armed Forces Academy, and became sworn friends and in-laws with Yuan Kewen, the second son of Yuan Shikai. He also became close friends with Zhang Daqian, a painter who was not very famous at that time.

Fang Dishan is good at making couplets, especially name-embedded couplets and interesting couplets. He is in the same line as Jie Jin in the Ming Dynasty and Ji Yun in the Qing Dynasty. He values ​​wisdom and skill. The name-embedded couplets he writes for others are all improvised and never drafted. They are completely natural.

, the meaning of the words is extremely craftsmanship, and the allusions are often integrated naturally without leaving any traces of chiseling. It is a masterpiece. At that time, it was called the "Lian Sheng" of the Republic of China.

"Uncle De, do we have Fang Dishan's works in our pawn shop?".

After listening to Uncle De's introduction, Zhuang Rui realized that Fang Dishan was considered a master in the field of modern calligraphy, but now he wanted to find another work by Fang Dishan to see if he could absorb the spiritual energy from it.

"Our pawn shop doesn't have it, but...".

Uncle De pondered for a moment, and then said: "Fang Dishan's works have been handed down quite a lot, and some collectors in Zhonghai have some of them. You guys want to ask about the price. Since there are so many works handed down, the price of his works is not very high.

The two paintings of yours are couplets, and the price should be between 8,000 and 15,000. You should keep the things left by your elders. If you are short of money, tell Uncle De and I can help you with some."

Seeing that Uncle De misunderstood what he meant, Zhuang Rui said quickly: "Uncle De, that's not what I meant. I mainly saw the things left by the elders. I am just interested in Fang Dishan. I also want to know what else he has.

What work is it? When I return to Zhonghai, please take me to visit the person who has collected his works."

Since this couplet can no longer absorb spiritual energy, Zhuang Rui wanted to see if he could absorb spiritual energy from Fang Dishan's other works.

"There's no problem with this. When the time comes, bring the couplet and I'll take you to find some collector friends to share it with."

Uncle De was very happy to hear Zhuang Rui's words. In the antique industry, character is the most important thing. Zhuang Rui is a honest and honest man. He has a very good impression of Zhuang Rui. He has always wanted to bring him into the industry but failed. Now Zhuang Rui has come to visit him. De

This is exactly what I wanted.
