Chapter 325: The Calligraphy of Emperor Chongzhen
The place where Shi Yunli's best friend lives is not far away, just walking through several alleys. However, the courtyard where she lives will not be independent, but there will be four families in one compound.
This is a legacy of history. According to Yunli, her best friend's ancestor was once a confidant of the general of the expeditionary army, and later died in Myanmar. Later, the martyrs' families were assigned to settle here, and they have been living here until now.
"Zhou Yun."
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Shi Yunli shouted.
"Hey, the beautiful lady is here."
Her best friend didn't show up, but a man in his twenties came out of a house. While nibbling cucumbers, he said jokingly: "Isn't that your boyfriend next to you?"
"Shut your stinky mouth, this is my cousin." Shi Yunli pulled Li Mo towards the backyard, "That one was my fault when I was young. Don't look at his idleness. He was the top scorer in science in Kyoto in the college entrance examination last year. He is very nice, but he just talks.
A bit mean."
"It's true that there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in this courtyard." Li Mo was still a little envious of those academics. Look at the person just now. He was not a pure nerd, but a real top scholar.
"Yunli, you're here."
At this time, a woman walked out of another room. She was much taller than Shi Yunli. Due to the heat, her hair was tied up, exposing her gooseneck-like neck. She was wearing a white shirt and a pair of cropped pants, and her skin was fair.
, making her look more eye-catching.
But Yunli's statement that she is a great beauty is a bit exaggerated. Perhaps with the music, her overall temperament is quite good and she appears quiet and elegant.
"Brother, this is my best friend Zhou Yun. We both have the same character in our names, so we have been very close since childhood."
"Hello."
Li Mo said hello to her.
"Hello Mr. Li, please come inside."
Li Mo followed the two women into the house. It was quite cool inside. His parents were not at home. There was an old piano placed in the corner of the living room. After placing a dining table, the living room space seemed small, so only one
A two-seater sofa.
There is a bedroom on the left and right sides of the living room. Although the space is small, it is kept very neatly.
"Mr. Li, please sit down. Can I get you a bottle of water?"
"Okay, I happen to be a little thirsty."
"Zhou Yun, please take out the calligraphy and show it to my brother first. Let me tell you, my brother is not an ordinary person. If it weren't for the fact that you are my best friend, he would not casually do appraisals for others.
of."
"I know you are the best to me. The writing is in my room. I will take it out."
Soon, a rectangular black wooden box was placed on the small coffee table in front of Li Mo. Zhou Yun opened it directly and took out a scroll from inside.
"Mr. Li, please help me take a look."
Li Mo took the calligraphy, wiped his hands with dry paper, and then slowly opened it. This was indeed a copybook, with not many words, but from the perspective of calligraphy, it was full of a sense of superiority.
Domineering.
"What a copybook. This is an important tool in calligraphy works."
When Shi Yunli heard what he said, she immediately became energetic and blinked at her best friend. It seemed that this copybook was really not simple.
"Brother, you continue to ask, could this copybook belong to a famous calligrapher in history?"
Zhou Yun also looked at Li Mo with expectant eyes at this moment.
"It's not as simple as a calligrapher. This calligraphy is a three-line cursive calligraphy, and the content is a Tang Dynasty poem, 'You can see the end of the Nanshan Mountain from the palace, and the Beidou hangs on the city.' The writing is strong. Look at the words in this 'Beidou'
The word 'fight', when painted, is majestic and domineering."
"Look at the signature. Normal calligraphy works have the signature at the bottom, but this calligraphy sticker has the signature at the top. This shows that this is an emperor. The signature is the word 'Emperor'.
It was stamped with a square seal. It has become a little blurry over time, so I will identify it carefully."
Li Mo looked at it and finally said with emotion: "The treasure of Chongzhen Jianji."
This calligraphy sticker is actually a masterpiece of calligraphy by Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty. No wonder the whole calligraphy is full of aloof and powerful, and the signature seal is still on the top.
"Brother, are you saying this is Emperor Chongzhen's calligraphy?" Shi Yunli asked in shock. This was written by the emperor.
Li Mo nodded affirmatively.
"Zhou Yun, you are so prosperous now."
Zhou Yun also showed excitement on her face.
"In fact, Emperor Chongzhen himself was still an emperor who worked hard to govern. This can be proved by the fact that he got rid of Wei Zhongxian as soon as he came to the throne. However, later on, he was stubborn and not good at accepting advice, so the road of the Ming Dynasty became narrower and narrower, and eventually he was defeated.
Die in Meishan."
"Chongzhen was the second calligrapher in the Ming Dynasty after Emperor Xuande. This calligraphy is straightforward and authentic."
This was the first time for Li Mo to rely on what he had learned to identify a calligraphy work. He then took another look at it with his special pupils, and sure enough, there was a faint blue halo of light. It was the late Ming Dynasty.
"I heard from Yunli that you dug out this calligraphy work of Emperor Chongzhen from the basement. Fortunately, so far, this calligraphy work of Emperor Chongzhen has not been eaten by moths. You should keep this calligraphy work.
It’s very precious, so you should always protect it.”
Li Mo rolled up the copybook.
"Mr. Li, may I ask how much this copybook would be worth if sold?"
"In the auction market, the calligraphy treasures of the Qing Dynasty emperors are quite common, but the calligraphy treasures handed down from the Ming Dynasty emperors are very rare. According to my understanding, if this Chongzhen calligraphy work goes to auction, it will cost about 35 million to 4,000 yuan.
Between ten thousand."
"Can it be worth so much?" Zhou Yun couldn't believe that a piece of calligraphy she accidentally dug out from the basement was worth more than 10 million.
This is not too much, there are many real calligraphy works worth hundreds of millions, Li Mo murmured in his heart.
"What's worth so much?" A man walked into the house, and when she saw Shi Yunli sitting on the sofa, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, "Yunli is here to play."
"Hello, Uncle Zhou."
"Sit down, is this handsome guy also your classmate?"
"Uncle Zhou, he is my cousin Li Mo."
"Li Mo?" Zhou Qiming, who was over fifty years old, paused and looked at Li Mo a few more times.
"Dad, isn't there an impromptu meeting in your district today? Why are you back so soon?"
"The leaders in the district have gone to receive the foreign expert group. Xiaoyun, why did you take out this calligraphy?"
When Zhou Yun mentioned this, she became obviously excited. She hurriedly said: "Dad, do you know whose work this is? Mr. Li said that this is the calligraphy and calligraphy treasure of Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, worth 3,500 yuan."
It's between 10,000 and 40 million. If we sell it, we can directly buy an above-average large-sized commercial house."
Zhou Qiming looked at Li Mo's overly young face, and his expression suddenly turned ugly. What does a little kid know? He was talking nonsense. He couldn't have other intentions. He was going to find some time to take this calligraphy to
It's under expert appraisal.
"Uncle Zhou, since my cousin said it was the calligraphy of Emperor Chongzhen, he is definitely right. Just rest assured."
Shi Yunli said with assurance.
"Yun Li, what does your cousin do?" Zhou Qiming knew Yun Li's identity. Since Li Mo was her cousin, he must have some background.
"Oh, I forgot to tell you. Both the Gu Yunxuan Museum and the Xiang Yu Treasure Museum belong to my brother."
Shi Yunli sounded proud, as if Li Mo was her brother.
"Gu Yunxuan?"
