Chapter 849 [Calligraphy and Paintings] (Part 2)
Zhang Yang nodded and said!" As soon as I entered the door, I found that other calligraphers, who are not hanging everywhere in your house? In your house, there are almost no calligraphy and paintings except in the study. Is it because Brother Xianyun rarely lives in China?" Huang Xianyun said: "The same is true for my house abroad. I don't like hanging my own calligraphy and paintings. There is another reason. When relatives and friends come to you, they will inevitably ask for it. Rejecting seems inhumane. Don't refuse. There are too many such favors. The teacher once taught me to cherish words like gold!"
Zhang Yang laughed and said, "Brother Xianyun's word is indeed a thousand gold medal now." Huang Xianyun said, "It's not that exaggerated. At the beginning, I didn't agree with the teacher's words, but after experiencing some things over the years, I realized that what he said is indeed the truth."
Zhang Yang also has some knowledge of the things in the calligraphy and painting world. He knows that things are precious because they are rare. If there are too many works on the market and too many are too common, the value will be greatly reduced. After many calligraphers and painters die, the value of their works has doubled. This is the reason. Huang Xianyun is a high-quality product stream. After becoming famous, he did not bring his works to the market in order to make money, but pursued excellence. From this, it can be seen that Huang Xianyun is a person who is good at managing himself. Through several successful auctions, he has become increasingly famous in the calligraphy and painting world. A truly smart person will not abuse his popularity.
Huang Xianyun looked for Zhang Yang not just to communicate calligraphy. He wanted to contact Luo Huining through Zhang Yang and wanted to hold a calligraphy exhibition by Mr. Tianchi in Japan.
Zhang Yang couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he heard Huang Xianyun's request. Huang Xianyun and Luo Huining are fellow disciples, both of whom are formal disciples of Mr. Tianchi, so why do you still need to pass on yourself as an outsider?
However, Zhang Yang did not immediately express his doubts.
Huang Xianyun said: "Maybe you may find it strange that Mrs. Wen and I are both students of Mr. Tianchi, so why don't I go to her directly?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said nothing.
Huang Xianyun said: "Mrs. Wen was late. When she became a teacher, I was already in Japan. I rarely returned to China over the years. Every time I came back, I was reluctant to meet her. We have never met you so far, so I want to ask you to convey this matter on your behalf."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Okay, I'll ask her if you have the chance." When Huang Xianyun was leaving, he gave Zhang Yang another painting. Although Zhang Yang's handwriting was good, he was not very interested in calligraphy and painting, nor did he like to collect calligraphy and painting. However, he knew that Huang Xianyun's calligraphy was valuable now.
In the 1980s, calligraphy and painting have quietly become an extremely fashionable gift in the officialdom. Zhang Yang once gave his calligraphy to the provincial party committee secretary Qiao Zhenliang. After he got Huang Xianyun's calligraphy and painting, the first person he remembered was Qiao Zhenliang.
Zhang Daguan took this humble room to Qiao's house that night. This time he came here because Qiao Mengyuan invited her. After the monk Sanbao preached to Meng Chuanmei, she felt better. She asked her daughter to accompany her outside this morning, but on the way home, she accidentally twisted her feet. Qiao Mengyuan naturally remembered Zhang Yang, a wise doctor. Zhang Daguanguan had no complaints about this. It was a rare honor to make Qiao Shuji family treat her family as a family doctor. Others have not had this opportunity yet.
Zhang Yang came to Qiao's house. Qiao Zhenliang had just gotten off work. He heard that his wife had a sprained foot. He specially turned down a banquet in the evening and went home to visit him. In Zhang Yang's opinion, Qiao Shu was a good father and competent husband. He was also extremely successful in his career, but unfortunately his life was often not perfect.
Qiao Zhenliang and Zhang Yang walked into the living room together and saw his wife sitting on the sofa, with his daughter accompanying her. Qiao Zhenliang hurried over and said with concern: "Mengyuan, how are your mother?"
Zhang Daguanren immediately realized something was wrong. Meng Chuanmei was at the scene. Qiao Zhenliang didn't go and asked her directly, but instead turned a corner to ask Qiao Mengyuan. It seemed that the husband was incompatible with each other.
Qiao Mengyuan said, "I twisted my feet on the way back." She said to Zhang Yang, "What are you doing there? Come and help my mother see!" Zhang Yang then came over and called Aunt Meng respectfully. Meng Chuanmei smiled at him, smiling very lightly.
Zhang Yang held up her feet and looked at it. He found that it was not too serious. He brought some medicines for the diagnosis and helped Meng Chuanmei apply it on, and said to Qiao Mengyuan: "Let Aunt Meng rest for two days and you will recover, which is not serious." Qiao Zhenliang also breathed a sigh of relief and said softly: "You must be careful when going out in the future."
From beginning to end, Meng Chuanmei didn't talk to him, and didn't even look at him.
Zhang Yang helped carry Meng Chuanmei back to the room. This was not because he wanted to curry favor with him and was willing to be a cow for his leader's family. Zhang Daguan regarded Qiao Mengyuan as his confidante and of course he should respect her parents.
After Meng Chuanmei was placed, Zhang Yang and Qiao Zhenliang returned to the living room together. Qiao Zhenliang thanked and said, "Zhang Yang, thank you so much for your hard work."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "It's nothing. Pengju and I are good friends. He is not here. Of course, I have to do this kind of work.
"In fact, he was all for Qiao Mengyuan's sake, and he and Qiao Pengju were ordinary friends.
Qiao Zhenliang nodded.
Zhang Yang handed Qiao Zhenliang the letter that Huang Xianyun gave him today: "Jiu Shu" I got a letter today. I know you like calligraphy, so I will give it to you."
Qiao Zhenliang opened it and was stunned. When he saw the signature, he slowly shook his head and said, "Zhang Yang, this character is from Huang Xianyun. It is too precious, I can't accept it.
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Zhao Shu, do you think I am bribing you?"
Qiao Zhenliang said: "It's useless for you to bribe me. I do things one or two, and I will not be promoted to your official position just because of a piece of calligraphy." He couldn't help laughing at this point. Zhang Yang did not have the need to bribe him.
Zhang Yang said: "I also know that Huang Xianyun's word is very precious. I have no place to live now, so it is not safe to keep it at home. It would be a pity if I was stolen. So I want to find a safe place, and the owner knows how to appreciate it. After thinking about it, I think of you here. If you like it, I will give it to you. If you really don't want to accept it, just treat me as a temporary place. Anyway, it is the safest place, and no one dares to steal it here."
Qiao Zhenliang laughed and said, "Since you have no place to put it, then I will accept it. I won't ask you for storage fees. I will ask someone to make a paste, so I will hang it in my study and enjoy it."
Zhang Yang said: "When will you get annoyed, and when will I take it away?"
Qiao Zhenliang said: "The more you read Huang Xianyun's calligraphy, the more you feel, how can you be annoyed?"
"I heard that you don't plan to return it to me." Qiao Zhenliang smiled and said, "You guy, when do you want it? When will you write a piece of words to exchange it."
Official Zhang approached Qiao Shun, "Zhun, what, look, who is more sè than mine?"
Qiao Zhenliang said: "It's not easy to comment. If you insist on telling me, you can only say that spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums are good at their own things!"
Zhang Daguanren expressed satisfaction with the evaluation of Secretary Qiao. He was able to put his calligraphy on the same level as Huang Xianyun, proving that if he worked hard in the calligraphy world, he would at least be at the level of a master.
Although Qiao Zhenliang was kindly trying to keep him, Zhang Yang said goodbye and left because he promised Liu Yuying that he would go to the Song family for dinner tonight. When he arrived at the Song family, Liu Yuying had already prepared dinner. Song Huaiming had just arrived home, but when he saw Zhang Yang coming over, he smiled and said, "Why are you here so late?"
Zhang Yang told me about going to Qiao's family to help Meng Chuanmei diagnose her illness, and there was nothing to hide.
Song Huaiming said: "Yuying, tomorrow you can take time to visit Qiao Shuji's house."
Liu Yuying agreed and brought up the napping hen soup. Zhang Yang sniffed and said, "It smells so good!"
Liu Yuying said: "Zhang Yang, you seem to have lost weight recently. Is it because you have worked hard?"
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "The weight is still the same. Maybe it's because he's running outside all day and getting tanned. He looks thin when he's shaved."
Song Huaiming said: "You are doing a good job and I often hear people praise you recently."
Zhang Yang said: "In front of you, they dare not praise me 1."
What he told the truth, Song Huaiming smiled.
Zhang Yang said: "Uncle Song, Yanran will be back next Saturday."
Song Huaiming nodded, and Liu Yuying said, "Are you going to pick her up?"
Zhang Yang shook his head and said, "Yanran asked me to go directly to Beiyuan. After she arrived in the capital, she immediately transferred to Beiyuan. I will try to go early and pick her up at Beiyuan Airport." He said to Song Huaiming: "Uncle Song, are you going there together?" Song Huaiming said, "Not next week, it's the end of the year. The province is too busy to leave. Please tell me to Yanran."
Zhang Yang said: "She also considered it. Originally, she meant that I didn't need to go there. On New Year's Day, she took her grandmother to Dongjiang for a look."
Liu Yuying said: "Zhang Yang, you'd better go there in person. Grandma is old and Yanran is not easy to take care of alone."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take all the leave, I'll go next Friday."
Liu Yuying said: "I'm ready here. When Yanran and grandma come over, let them live at home."
Song Huai was obviously hesitant: "It's not convenient to live at home!"
Liu Yuying said: "What's inconvenient? They are all family members, so how can they live outside?" She wanted Song Huaiming and his daughter to communicate more about each other. Although Wen Nu had already reconciled, they had not had contact with each other for more than ten years, and their relationship was relatively unfamiliar.
Song Huaiming said: "By the way, try not to make any noise about Yanran and the others coming here, I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble."
