........."Yes!" After listening to the middle-aged woman's words, Liu Dong nodded.[
"Please come in!" After glancing at Liu Dong with a hint of suspicion on her face, the middle-aged woman opened the security door.
Seeing this, Liu Dong nodded and walked in. From the eyes of the middle-aged woman just now, he knew that the other party regarded him as someone who came to deliver gifts to the county magistrate.
"Old Liu, come out! Someone is coming from my hometown!" After leading Liu Dong into the living room, the middle-aged woman shouted towards a half-open room next to her.
"There's someone coming from my hometown, who is it?" Following the voice, a middle-aged man wearing a white short-sleeved shirt, with a majestic expression, and a face that was very similar to Mr. Liu came out.
"It's this young man who said that our father asked him to give you something!"
Listening to his wife's words, Liu Weijun naturally saw Liu Dong who was standing in the living room at this moment, holding a convenience bag in his hand.
"Young man, you are from Guanjiachong, why have I never seen you before?" Liu Weijun said with doubts in his words.
Fortunately, Liu Dong stayed in Guanjiachong for more than half a month and had already learned the dialect there, otherwise he would not have been able to understand what Liu Weijun said.
"County Magistrate Liu misunderstood. I came from the Guan family, but I'm not from the Guan family. It's just that when I went there to sketch a few days ago, I happened to stay at Mr. Liu's house. During this period, he took care of me, so
When I left this time, I volunteered to bring these things to County Magistrate Liu for his old man!" Liu Dong said as he handed over the contents of the convenience bag.
"So that's what happened! Why have I never seen you in Guanjiachong before!" As he said this, Liu Weijun took the convenience bag in Liu Dong's hand, and then took out two palm-sized bags from it.
Small black jar with paper seal.
After removing the sealing yellow paper, a stream of tea leaves with a quiet and dark color appeared in the eyes of the three people. Along with the appearance of the tea leaves, there was also a faint fragrance of tea wafting on the tip of the nose, which made people feel refreshed.
"Haha, this is the Yunwu tea fried by my dad himself!" Seeing this tea, Liu Weijun couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy on his face. The most famous specialties of Songzi County are truffle mushrooms and Yunwu tea, and it is located in the mountains.
The Yunwu tea produced by Guan Jiachong during this period is inspired by the spirit of heaven and earth. It is the best high-grade tea in all regions of Songzi City, and is also Liu Weijun's favorite. In the past, when he returned to his hometown during the Chinese New Year, his father would use his old craftsmanship to make a little copy of it.
He brought it back to drink. Unexpectedly, Liu Dong actually asked Liu Dong to bring it to him this time.
"Li Ping, cook more dishes tonight, stay...!"
Looking at Liu Weijun's questioning eyes, Liu Dong quickly said: "County Magistrate Liu, just call me Liu Dong!"
"Liu Dong, then I'll call you Xiao Liu!" After a pause, Liu Weijun continued, "Xiao Liu, just stay here for dinner before leaving. Otherwise, if you go back during the New Year, the old man will blame me for not understanding.
Good hospitality!”
"County Magistrate Liu, you are so polite! In fact, I happened to be leaving this time and just brought you something. To say thank you, I would also like to thank Mr. Liu. If he hadn't taken me in, I wouldn't have been able to attack me in the Guan family.
I know where I want to live!" Liu Dong said modestly.
"Haha, don't call me County Magistrate Liu! Our surname is Liu, and maybe we were from the same family before. You're welcome, come and sit down!" After saying hello, he told Li Liping to go to the kitchen to cook!
I don’t know if it’s because Liu Dong is familiar with his old father, or because Liu Weijun is warm and hospitable, or because Liu Dong himself makes a very good first impression, or maybe it’s all three. Anyway, as the head of a county at the moment,
Liu Weijun’s attitude was very enthusiastic.
But Liu Dong, who was planning to leave after delivering the things, found it difficult to speak.
"Xiaodong, I just heard you say that you went to Guanjia to sketch, so you are learning to paint?" The two sat down, Liu Weijun picked up the cup on the table, and then gave Liu Dong a cup of hot water, and Liu
Dong took it with both hands and put it on the table, then asked with a smile.
"I'm not a professional painter, but my parents liked it when I was a child and knew how to paint, so I studied with them for a few years. I also like it very much, so I continue to paint until now. However, my qualifications are dull, and I still can't
There’s nothing outstanding about the painting!” Liu Dong said.
"Learning painting is not something that happens overnight. You are still so young. As long as you work hard, you will definitely achieve something in the future!"
Listening to Liu Weijun's words of instruction, Liu Dong smiled and nodded, but did not answer. In fact, according to Liu Dong's current painting level, whether it is Chinese painting, oil painting, or sketching, he is already at the top level among the younger generation.
It's just that few people know about it. In addition, Liu Dong, who is now worth several billion, no longer needs to make a living by painting, so he has never thought of showing off.
Now painting, like sculpture and collecting, has become a spiritual pursuit for him.
Just like the famous saying of Guan Zhong, the famous prime minister of the State of Qi during the Spring and Autumn Period, which has been passed down through the ages, "You can know etiquette if you have enough food and clothing; you can know honor and disgrace if you have enough food and clothing"! People always have something to pursue in life. After having no worries about eating and drinking, Liu Dong's pursuit is painting and sculpture
The pursuit of art and of course the great satisfaction of collecting treasures from all over the world.
Seeing Liu Dong nodding, Liu Weijun thought that the other party had listened to his warning, and he couldn't help but feel a kind of "teachable" appreciation in his heart.
"By the way, Xiaodong, what do you study? Chinese painting or oil painting?"
"Chinese painting!" Liu Dong quickly replied. He knew that if a county leader like Liu Weijun knew anything about calligraphy and painting, it would be Chinese painting and calligraphy. So even if he didn't try to please him, he still had no intention of trying to please him.
It can bring the relationship between the two parties closer, so why not do it!
"Haha, it just so happens that I also like Chinese painting. Now we have to discuss it! Come on!" As he said that, Liu Weijun patted Liu Dong's arm, stood up and walked towards the room where he came out before.
And Liu Dong naturally followed behind.
"This is my study!"
After listening to Liu Weijun's introduction, Liu Dong also looked around.
Liu Weijun's study is not too big. The entire room is rectangular, about 267 square meters. Like most private study rooms, the entire desk faces east and west, and the window is on the south. Behind the desk is a row of
There is a bookcase filled with books. On the wall opposite the desk, there hangs a large round fan with the word "forbearance" written in vigorous and powerful running script.
In addition to this round fan with the word "forbearance" written on it, there are also some paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall next to it. In Liu Dong's eyes, the level of these calligraphy and paintings is considered to be excellent, and it can be seen from the signature on the side that they are exactly
The one next to you is Liu Weijun, the proud work of County Magistrate Liu.
Perhaps he noticed that Liu Dong was looking at the paintings hanging on the wall, Liu Weijun couldn't help but asked with a slight smile on his face: "How is it, Xiaodong, is it okay?"
"Uncle Liu's running calligraphy is gentle but not soft, and contains power. It connects up and down, echoes coherently, and is of a very high level!" Liu Dong is not pedantic, and he naturally knows how to say good things, not to mention Liu Weijun's writing style is indeed good.
However, compared to calligraphy, his painting skills were relatively inferior, so Liu Dong just admired it without commenting!
However, since Liu Weijun was able to become the county magistrate, he was naturally well versed in observing words and expressions. From the subtle changes in Liu Dong's expression, we could guess one or two of what he was thinking. However, his own family knew about his family affairs, so he naturally understood the comparison.
As for calligraphy, he is not as good as painting. After all, his main job is as a county magistrate, and calligraphy and painting are just hobbies.
His current level of calligraphy is the result of years of hard work. Moreover, his calligraphy is quite famous throughout Songzi County.
"Xiaodong, come here! Let me see what your current level is!"
Listening to Liu Weijun's words about taking the exam, Liu Dong did not refuse.
Then he followed Liu Weijun to the window in his study, where there was a long and spacious table, as well as the four treasures of the study: pens, inks, paper and inkstones, as well as common things in the study such as pen holders and pen washers.
"Uncle Liu, you have all the good stuff here!" Liu Dong, who likes collecting, could naturally tell at a glance that the pen, ink, paper and inkstone placed on the table at the moment, especially the inkstone, were from Laokeng.
Inkstone, also called Longwei inkstone, is one of the four famous inkstones in China together with Tao inkstone in Taozhou, Gansu, Duan inkstone in Dongzhaoqing, Guangdong, and Chengni inkstone in Jiangxian, Shanxi.
With years of mining, it is now difficult to find truly top-grade She inkstones, and Liu Weijun’s piece is a top-grade Venus Dragon Tail inkstone.
According to "Xin'an Zhi" records: During the reign of Emperor Yuanzong of the Southern Tang Dynasty, She kept offering inkstones and recommended Li Shaowei, a worker, to promote the inkstone official." From then on, the mining of She stones changed from private to official organized mining. Under the supervision of the imperial court, some famous She stone products
Gradually it came out and was presented to the emperor as a tribute.
Among them, the famous products of Sheshi are divided into: five grades and twenty-five kinds. The "grade" is the major category of Sheshi. These five categories are: outer mountain rib pattern, inner mountain rib pattern, eyebrow pattern, Venus and donkey pit. These five categories are detailed.
It is divided into twenty five types: brushed stone, gold and silver, nail mark, lying silkworm eyebrow, gold star, silver star...etc.
Each of these varieties has its own merits, but the "Venus" stones, whose pebbles are dotted with stars, are the most valuable.
Since private mining of Sheshi was prohibited, the famous stones were even more precious and mysterious. By the time of Li Yu, the famous empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the top-grade Dragon Tail Inkstone had become a national treasure.
Tang Xun, a man from the Song Dynasty, said in his "Inkstone Record": Li Yu "pays attention to the writing notes and uses Chengxintang paper, Li Tinggui's ink, and Longwei inkstone. The three of them are the best in the world." It is said that pebbles are the most valuable for She inkstones.
Large ones are extremely rare, and the largest ones are only about four or five inches. The ancients mostly used their blanks to make She inkstones (a kind of She inkstone as big as a bull's eye). Because the scope of Shexi was very small, and before the Song Dynasty, the hometown of She inkstones was known as "She inkstone".
This is the center, and most famous stones come from this. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
