When Mi Fu was an official in Changsha, he learned that a temple near the Xiangjiang River contained a work called "Daolin Poetry" by a famous calligrapher of the Tang Dynasty, so Mi Fu went to borrow it and appreciate it.

Mi Fu couldn't put it down, so he simply took the painting and ran away at night. With no other choice, the monk had no choice but to report it to the official, and then he took back the treasure.

Another time, Mi Fu met Cai You (the last prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty) on a boat, and Cai You showed him his collection of Wang Xizhi's "Wang Lue Tie".

Mi Fu refused to let go as soon as he saw it, and insisted on exchanging a painting with Cai You. Cai You refused, so Mi Fu stalked and pestered him endlessly, and even threatened to commit suicide by jumping into a river. In the end, Cai You

Being forced, I had no choice but to agree to him.

People at that time called Mi Fu's method "clever theft and robbery."

Su Shi once wrote "The Postscript of the Book of Second Rhymes of Mi Fu and Two Kings", in which two sentences are as follows: "Clever stealing and plundering have existed since ancient times, and those who laugh look like a stupid tiger's head." He ridiculed Mi Fu's behavior.

Gu Kaizhi, a painter of the Jin Dynasty, was nicknamed Hutou.

Just to deal with "shameless" people like Mi Fu, who is afraid that others will take away the painting, please ask the painter to indicate who owns it first, and then add to it one after another.

"Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" by Huang Zijiu of the Yuan Dynasty has a postscript by the author, indicating that this volume is an unfinished work;

It is also often seen that Dong Qichang in the Ming Dynasty had many albums with unfinished pages, which was also due to this kind of situation.

…

"Speaking of the half-finished painting in front of me, the situation is different from those..."

Xiao Langdao: "It is often said in the world that Mr. Xinshe sometimes sketches out the main lines of his writing, such as the outline of rocks, tree branches, house frames, important moss spots, etc., when he is too busy with writing and ink, and then writes

Students add color or add some textured leaves."

"I once heard Mr. Qi Gong say that he had seen this kind of semi-finished product, which had been signed and stamped by Mr. Xinshe himself. At that time, someone came to ask Mr. Qi to identify it, and he wrote a postscript for it and advised the collector not to ask anyone to identify it.

Complete it, because this is enough to show the priority and sequence of Mr. Xinshe's pen, which is more valuable than the completed work. "

Xiao Lang smiled with a hint of cunning on his face: "After listening to Mr. Qi's statement, Lao Xiao, I have been thinking about a half-finished painting by Mr. Xinshe. I have been thinking about it for thirty years."

"Thank you so much for today, Xiao Chang. It has relieved the old man's thoughts for thirty years. Xiaolong, hurry up and put the painting away."

Before anyone could react, Xiao Long put away the painting with lightning speed, and disappeared without a trace. With such explosive force, he had no idea that this was also a middle-aged uncle who was nearly fifty years old.

Can such an operation still be possible?

Chang Xian was a little stunned.

"Old Xiao, Old Xiao, I only knew you as a chess scoundrel before, but I didn't expect that you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would learn how to rob? You are so gentle and clean!"

Sun Qifeng shouted with a red face.

"Xiao Yinjun, your calligraphy and painting skills are not as good as those of Mi Dian, but your shameless energy is beyond compare with the ancients!"

Nan Jinyu pulled the hem of Xiao Lang's shirt with her left hand, and the index and middle fingers of her right hand made a scissor shape: "If you don't get it back, we will cut off our robes and end our relationship!"

"You have quick hands, but you don't have slow hands. I don't know you yet!"

"If Brother Pu Zuo is still alive and he is this cousin, I can't make a move. Now on this one-third of an acre of land in Pingxiang Pavilion, I still don't charge two to buy it? If this painting is not mine, can it still be done?

Whose is it?”

…

Bamboo shadows are fluttering, and pines are blowing in the wind.

In Pingxiang Pavilion, there is a pure heart.

A few young people watched a few old men chatting like crazy and having fun. This will be a rare source of conversation in the future.

After a while of laughter and curses, Master Nan and Chang Xian took their leave.

…

As the sun set, an old man and a young man were strolling. Their figures kept intertwining, spreading apart, intertwining again, and spreading apart again.

"Xiao Chang, the house prices in Tianjin seem to have risen a bit strangely this year. It is said that the price in Balitai is almost 3,000 yuan. Today, you just got 600,000 yuan for the Puru painting. Do you want to look for a house? Settled down at home?"

Master Nan asked kindly.

Of course, Xiao Lang couldn't ask for Chang Xian's painting for nothing. He gave Chang Xian 600,000 yuan according to the market price. At the request of Nanshi, he also asked Xiao Lang and Sun Qifeng to collaborate on a four-foot-long painting specifically for Chang Xian. The "Pine Eagle Picture", Sun Lao's eagle, Xiao Lao's pine, are both unique and in line with their expectations, making Chang Xian happy.

The reason is very simple. It’s the first time we meet. Isn’t it okay to not have a greeting gift?

This meeting ceremony is indeed open and bright.

Let’s not talk about the couplets, just talk about Mr. Sun.

At present, the prices of Mr. Sun's paintings are not high, and they will rise in a few years.

By 2016, the price of his paintings had exceeded 100,000 square feet.

A picture of a pine eagle "seeing all the mountains at a glance" took 2.3 million, and a picture of an autumn eagle "looking over thousands of mountains" took 828,000 pictures.

After 2020, his paintings have exceeded 200,000.

Just for this meeting gift, I have to spend 2 million.

"That's what I think too. After the National Day, I will find a place not far from you where we can keep company!"

With today's 600,000 yuan, the cash in Chang Xian's pocket now exceeds one million, and there will be more and more objects. Even for the safety of the objects, housing must be considered.

"Well, since you have decided to take the path of collecting, teacher, I can't help you with anything else..."

Master Nan's eyes were a little strange, as if he had difficulty making a decision: "I'll help you find a master!"

"Master?"

Chang Xian was a little surprised.

It is impossible for Master Nan to not be clear about the difference between master and teacher.

Once a teacher, always a father.

This is no joke.

"Not bad, Master!"

Now that he had made his decision, Master Nan looked determined: "Don't do anything to that long calligraphy scroll of Puru, you will wait for my letter in a few days!"

Seeing that Master Nan was taking the matter so solemnly, Chang Xian nodded in agreement. Master Nan was really dear to him.

What does he lack now? This is what he lacks!

…

Yangcun was originally the seat of Wuqing County, later Yangcun Town, and changed to Yangcun Subdistrict two years ago.

Yangcun Town is built along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal - the North Canal. Since the Yuan Dynasty, it has been a place where sails are swaying and business travel is prosperous.

There is a film and television base of Jinmen TV station here. The TV series "The Golden Family" adapted from Mr. Zhang Henshui's novel of the same name was filmed here. Most of the scenes of the TV series were in Jinmen.

For example, the exterior scene of Jin Mansion is at Jinmen Foreign Languages ​​College; the Rende Girls' Middle School where Leng Qingqiu studied is at Nankai Middle School.

A yellow Daihatsu turned left and right, bypassing Shuanglong Riverside Park on the north bank of the canal, and stopped in a shady place.
