The person who opened the door was a young man in his twenties, with a shiny hair wax on his head that would make a fly stumble when he stood on it.
However, she is a bit ugly, and can even be said to have a sly eyebrow. Her two small eyes move around, giving people a feeling of evil intentions.
After the young man glanced at Shen Yu and the others, he looked left and right, as if he was afraid of others, or was afraid that others would find him.
Wang Yuqian was obviously a little surprised by the person who opened the door. He paused for a few seconds before asking angrily: "Wang Yuliang, why are you here? Didn't you know to call me in advance when you entered my house?"
The young man known as Wang Yuliang smiled coquettishly, "Don't I miss my mother? I stopped by to take a look when I was passing by, and bought my mother some peach cakes and soft candies that she likes to eat."
"Three bosses, let me introduce to you. This is my brother, a biological brother from the same mother, Wang Yuliang."
"Don't block the door, let the bosses in quickly!" Wang Yuqian scolded again angrily.
"Oh, no welcome, no welcome, bosses please come in quickly!"
Wang Yuliang said, but his eyes were wandering in the pockets and bags of the three people.
Shen Yu and Yu Maolin looked at each other, and both saw the meaning in each other's eyes, and nodded, "This guy is not a serious and honest person, so you have to be careful about him."
The courtyard is paved with stone slabs and is spotless.
There are flowers, bamboos, wells and ponds, which are extremely quiet and elegant.
The floor is very clean, and it looks like someone cleans it frequently.
There are four main rooms and two side rooms.
There is a utility room, a kitchen, and a toilet each. A path paved with carved bluestone and old stone leads directly to the living room of the main house.
Opening the door, the furnishings in the main hall are eye-catching.
This is a connection between two houses, with a ceiling height of 4 meters, so it is very spacious.
The most conspicuous thing is the row of bookshelves next to the east wall, which are filled with collections of classics and history, as well as various thread-bound books.
There are also many rare whirlwind suits, butterfly suits, and backpack-like ancient books.
There are even extremely rare scroll-style ancient books.
Next to the bookshelf is a shiny black desk.
Because it is wrapped in paint, you can't tell what material it is made of. There are pens, inks, paper, inkstones, chessboards, chess pieces and other items on the table, all of which are neatly made and spotless.
On the north wall, where the Taishi's chair should have been placed, there is a lounge chair, which looks like it is made of rosewood.
In the middle of the main hall is a well-paste red rosewood square table. There are four carved soft stools placed in the east, west, north and south directions. There is a three-legged incense burner on it. Sandalwood is burning slowly in the burner. The smell is very elegant and makes people feel comfortable. The spirit is lifted.
Not to mention, just in this atmosphere, Shen Yu felt that this trip was not in vain.
"Three distinguished guests, please sit wherever you like. There is no sofa. They are all old furniture brought from home. Sitting there is definitely not as comfortable as the sofa."
Wang Yuqian first served four dried, four fresh and eight fruit plates, and then immediately made a pot of hot tea.
Li Tietou threw a strawberry into his mouth, and then grabbed a handful of shelled spiced peanuts. While peeling the peanuts, he urged, "Boss Wang, you don't have to be so polite. We have just eaten. We are not hungry." , if you have any good things, please bring them out quickly, we have other things to do."
Having been in and out of Shen Yu's house since he was a child, Li Tietou knew a little bit about antiques. He liked miscellaneous items in antiques, and he was relatively new to wood carvings, jade carvings, goldware, and silverware.
"Okay, okay, I know some distinguished guests are anxious, but there is always a way to treat guests."
Wang Yuqian calmly poured tea for the three of them one by one.
Shen Yu was not in a hurry. He picked up the tea cup and slowly tasted the tea.
Black tea Lapsang Souchong leaves a fragrant fragrance on the lips and teeth, clears the heart and moisturizes the lungs, great tea!
Yu Maolin, on the other hand, stood by the west wall and looked at several calligraphy, paintings and calligraphy on the wall.
"You guys sit down for a while. It's time to eat and drink tea. You're welcome. I'll go to the bedroom to get those antiques and I'll be back soon."
Wang Yuqian put down the teapot gently, hugged the three of them again, and then walked slowly towards the bedroom.
After Wang Yuqian entered the bedroom and closed the door, Yu Maolin suddenly waved to Shen Yu, "Xiao Shen, come here and take a look at this copybook."
Shen Yu put down the tea cup and walked to the wall, where he saw a calligraphy framed in a glass frame.
Letter: [Mountains are high and rivers are long, and there are millions of things. Without an old pen, how could one be so young and powerful? On the 18th, I went up to the balcony to write, Taibai.]
After looking at it for a few times, Shen Yu saw that this was a copy of the cursive "Shangyang Tie".
Taibai is Li Bai.
"The Calligraphy on the Upper Balcony" is Li Bai's only authentic calligraphy handed down from generation to generation and is a national treasure.
The full text has a total of 25 words, and the content is 16 words.
The general origin is that during the Kaiyuan period, Li Bai met the famous Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty, Baiyunzi Sima Chengzhen, from Jiangling. The two had a very happy conversation, so they became good friends and stayed with each other year after year.
Later generations listed the two of them as one of the Ten Friends of the Immortal Sect.
Sima Chengzhen studied Taoism since he was young. Although he had no intention of pursuing an official career, he had a profound literary accomplishment and was good at poetry, calligraphy and painting. Wu Zetian and Tang Xuanzong both respected him.
Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, even called him Taoist Brother.
Later, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty built a Taoist temple with a balcony in Wangwu Mountain for Sima Chengzhen to live and practice Taoism.
In the third year of Tianbao, Li Bai, the poet sage Du Fu, the frontier fortress poet Gao Shi and other friends visited Wangwushan Balcony Palace.
Li Bai specifically wanted to visit Sima Chengzhen.
Unfortunately, because communications were underdeveloped at the time, Sima Chengzhen actually passed away in the 23rd year of Kaiyuan.
He was ninety-six years old.
Seeing only his residence but not his people, seeing things and missing people, Li Bai wrote this "Post on the Balcony" in endless sadness.
The original "Tieba on the Balcony" is preserved in the Palace Museum and is a top national treasure. It also has seals and inscriptions collected by celebrities in the past dynasties, such as "Li Taibai of the Tang Dynasty on the Balcony" in thin gold style by Huizong of the Song Dynasty and "Qinglian Yihan" by Qianlong. There is nothing, so it cannot be authentic.
But although it is a copy, it is well written.
The brushwork is vigorous and vigorous, with the natural and elegant style of the original calligraphy. Each stroke is relaxed and relaxed, and has the faint air of a master.
Unfortunately, there is no signature.
It cannot be said that there is no signature, but only the word "Ruan Ting" in regular script.
Yu Maolin glanced at the bedroom, leaned into Shen Yu's ear and lowered his voice, "Xiao Shen, I think this calligraphy is very well written. The paper is yellowed and looks very old. Can you tell that this is Whose copy?"
Shen Yu shook his head, "Brother Yu, you don't know something. There are traces of calligraphy and painting even if they are anonymous paintings, but when it comes to calligraphy and stickers, it is difficult. The calligraphy of the ancients can be said to be good calligraphy, not to mention the amount of calligraphy. Jiang Zhicrucian, but as long as I have read Ten Years of Hanchuang, the handwriting is generally good. For a while, I really didn’t know who wrote this post."
Yu Maolin nodded and said: "Based on this calligraphy alone, Xiao Shen, how much can you estimate it to be worth?"
Shen Yu thought for a while, "Based on the writing power and paper quality of this calligraphy, it should not be less than 60,000 yuan on the market. If we can find out who this 'Ruan Ting' is, and he is also a celebrity, then This post may instantly increase more than ten times or even dozens of times. After all, what many people want for collecting is fame. Only with fame will they feel it is worth it. On the other hand, the author is not a celebrity, so the price can only be fixed. At 60,000 yuan."
