Chapter 24 Appreciation of Calligraphy and Painting
The content of this text message is relatively simple, "Let's meet at twelve o'clock in the evening."
The phone number was from an unfamiliar number, but after the text message, there were two words, namely Zhiyan...
Zhiyan sent me a text message and asked me to meet at twelve o'clock in the evening.
My heart suddenly became heavy, and I thought this was impossible even when I thought about it.
I quickly replied to the message and said, "Are you really Zhiyan?"
It's just that when I replied to this message, there was no reply from the other party. I felt something was wrong.
At this time, Huang Huihuang's voice was still ringing in my ears, "Xiao Zhuo, let's go have dinner together tonight..."
Liu Sisi also answered the conversation at this moment and said: "Yes, Chen Zhuo, my dad also wants to treat you to dinner to thank you. He also said that he has some issues that he wants to discuss with you..."
"Maybe not tonight."
I spoke.
Upon seeing this, Huang Huihuang said: "Xiao Zhuo, do you have any other plans tonight?"
He spoke and winked at me.
I know this guy doesn't want to lose face in front of Liu Sisi.
I estimated the time and thought that I still have to give this little face to Huang Huihuang, so I said, "It's okay to eat tonight, but I have to go home early."
"Sure, don't worry it won't take much of your time."
Huang Huihuang said with a smile.
At this moment, he also said to Liu Sisi: "Sisi, I just said that you and Xiao Zhuo are close friends. It must be very simple to call her out for a meal."
Liu Sisi smiled.
At this time, Li Sisi looked pretty good.
After drinking coffee, not long after, the time came to 6:30 pm.
Liu Sisi told me and Huang Huihuang that her father had already made a reservation for the hotel and asked us to go there.
Along the way, I was actually a little absent-minded.
When we arrived at the hotel, Liu Sisi's father said to me very enthusiastically: "Little comrade, what happened today is all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, I would have been deceived."
"It's okay, uncle."
I said calmly.
This incident has already happened and passed, and there is actually nothing to say.
I don't want to waste time saying things that don't make much sense.
"By the way, little comrade, a friend of mine will come over later and bring a painting and calligraphy. I wonder if you have done any research on calligraphy and painting?"
Liu Sisi's father looked at me with a smile.
I paused for a few seconds and then said calmly: "I understand a little bit."
"That's good. You can discuss calligraphy and painting with my friend later."
He continued with a smile.
I said yes and didn't say anything nonsense.
I came here just to have a meal, but Liu Sisi's father always had other plans.
And it’s hard for me to say anything, after all, it was Huang Huanghuang who called me here.
"Then let's order first. When the food is ready, my friend will be here."
Liu Sisi's father pushed the menu in front of me.
I took a quick look and said to Huang Huihuang: "Old Huang, come on."
As soon as Huang Huanghuang heard what he said to me, he pushed the menu to Liu Sisi's father.
It's a completely flattering look.
After pushing and shoving like this for a while, the dishes were finally ordered.
Five minutes after ordering, a man walked in from outside the private room. He looked older than Liu Sisi's father, probably in his early sixties.
He was holding a roll in his hand at this time, and it was clear at first glance that the roll was of good quality.
People who come in also take great care of this scroll and are careful not to bump into it.
Needless to say, there must be some good stuff in here.
"Brother Yue, you're finally here. There's no traffic jam on the road."
"Hey, I'll be stuck for a while. The traffic in our city is really bad."
Brother Yue was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and holding a string of beads in his hand. The beads were a little faded and he looked like a cultural man.
"Please sit down quickly, Brother Yue. Let me introduce you to you. This is my daughter. As you know, the other two are my daughter's good friends. This one..."
Liu Sisi's father looked at Huang Huihuang and hadn't finished speaking yet.
Huang Huihuang reacted immediately and said: "Uncle Yue, my name is Huang Huihuang."
"Hello, Xiao Huang."
When I saw this, I didn't delay and briefly introduced myself.
"Xiao Chen, I heard your Uncle Liu say that you know calligraphy and painting, right? He also said that you are proficient in all aspects. Is that true?"
I:"……"
Liu Sisi's father smiled and said: "Brother Yue, please don't underestimate Xiao Chen. If Xiao Chen hadn't helped me this time, I would have been cheated out of thousands."
I felt a little unhappy because Liu Sisi's father kept talking to me.
"Understand a little."
"That's just right. I have a copy of Dong Qichang's "Nine Peaks and Cold Green Pictures" here. Could you help me, Xiao Chen, to take a look at it?"
Brother Yue said with a smile.
I was stunned for a few seconds after hearing this. Dong Qichang is a master of painting. He is very good at landscape painting.
His works have always been very expensive. In fact, I knew the painting in his hand was fake without even looking at it.
"good."
I said calmly.
Brother Yue did not delay for too long and said: "Waiter, prepare a clean long table for me."
The waiter quickly made arrangements after hearing this.
In about ten minutes, a long table was brought in.
Seeing this, Brother Yue wiped the long strip several times. After wiping it thoroughly, he relaxed a little and took out the painting from the roll.
This painting is quite large, and after taking it out, the landscape and scenery suddenly appeared on the paper.
I have to say that this painting is a good copy at first glance, but Dong Qichang’s paintings date from the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the paintings did not use paper made of linen for a long time. This is one of the loopholes.
And I happened to know that this painting was painted on silk by Dong Qichang. The original painting had a distant and empty mood.
The composition of this painting is quite different from the original painting.
Just as I took a few glances, Brother Yue asked me with a proud smile on his face: "Xiao Chen, what do you think? Dong Qichang's painting can be said to be quite good."
Brother Yue is obviously very confident in his collection of this painting.
When I saw this, I paused for a few seconds and then said, "This painting is indeed good. Uncle Yue, please keep it well."
I don’t want to waste time explaining anything. Since others think this is true, nothing I can say will help.
As the saying goes, it is better to do less than to do more.
I might as well say nothing.
What I didn't expect was that as soon as I finished speaking, Liu Sisi's father suddenly went crazy. He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Brother Yue, for actually receiving Dong Qichang's authentic work. What a joy."
.”
I:"……"
When did I say it was authentic?
