Chapter 23 Under the Double Reed
Brother Xiong's booth is the same as the stalls next to him. A two-meter-square red cloth is on the ground, and there are some coins, bronzes and other objects on it. From the appearance, they are all rusty, as if they look like some years, but for these things, the aura in Zhuang Rui's eyes can I didn't stop just now, so I just ignored this booth.
"Monkey, didn't I tell you a long time ago? Someone ordered that painting, and I didn't even put it up when I didn't see it. Why did you take people to see the goods again?" Brother Xiong, the stall owner, looked impatient and spoke to the thin young man, but Zhuang Rui noticed that Brother Xiong's eyes seemed to be aimed at him.
In the past, when chatting with Uncle De in the pawnshop, Uncle De once mentioned that when there was no liberation, there were special people in the rivers and lakes who poured real and fake antiques and operated antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Later, some people who touched gold and robbed tombs also joined in. They even stole chickens and dogs. They When the ancestors moved to the ancestors, they self-made themselves the Jianghu Book Gate, and their behavior was somewhat consistent with the two people in front of them.
"It doesn't matter if someone wants it. I can't afford to buy the authentic works of Zheng Banqiao. Come on, I'll go."
In this market, Liu Chuan can also be called a good name, so although Zhuang Rui is not afraid of trouble, he is also lazy to provoke these local snakes. He will turn around and leave. It's almost noon, and he will take his girl to dinner.
"Don't mind, brother, this good thing is rare. It's not too late to leave again. Brother Xiong, I've never seen you rush out guests like this." The thin and weak young man quickly grabbed Zhuang Rui and couldn't help looking at the brother Xiong. If he worked harder, he would really leave.
"It's okay to see, but if this brother is in favor, it's not easy for me to do. I've promised someone else. Well, let's take a look first..." When Brother Xiong saw that Zhuang Rui was about to leave, his face also showed a look of panic, and his tone immediately softened.
In fact, Zhuang Rui also looked up to these two. The Jianghu Book Gate may have really existed 70 or 80 years ago, but after liberation, these cows, ghosts, snakes and gods have been cleaned up for a long time. At best, the two people in front of them are just singing an oboe, fooling novices who don't know Compared with the old worlds mentioned by Uncle De, our professional level is 10,800 miles away. At least the little tricks played between the two can be seen through by Zhuang Rui at a glance.
Zhuang Rui stopped when he heard the words. Anyway, it's okay to look at it. Liu Chuan took care of him in this market, and he was not afraid that these two people would buy and sell them. He also had a trace of luck in his heart. He could receive Wang Shizhen's manuscript of "Xiangzu Notes" from the old lady If it's true, even if you can't afford it and absorb the aura, it's a business that will take advantage of it and won't suffer losses.
Brother Xiong was also secretly happy to see this young man turn around. Just now, he and the monkey observed for a long time and saw that he stopped at every stall selling old calligraphy and painting, but he just looked at it and did not buy it. Generally speaking, such a person should know something about calligraphy and painting, but it depends on his age. It has not been in the industry for a long time. It belongs to the kind of people who are dissatisfied with a bottle of vinegar and half a bottle swings. It is the most easy to fool with the high imitation works in their own hands.
Brother Xiong stood up, and Zhuang Rui saw that what he was doing was not a bench, but a box woven with rattan. After opening the box, Brother Xiong carefully held out a scroll wrapped in yellow cloth with both hands, and uncovered the yellow cloth wrapped around the scroll. Looking at the appearance alone, the two ends of The wooden shafts are a little worn out. At first glance, they look like an old object.
Brother Xiong unfolded the scroll on the rattan box. Zhuang Rui found that this was a vertical axis, with a length and width of about 50 * 110 cm. The paper was slightly yellowed. What was painted on it was a piece of bamboo growing in the mountains and rocks, and wrote a poem: "Draw bamboo in the sky and cover the earth, I'm willing to follow the human law and write out the dragon's beard and phoenix tail. The handwriting is of different sizes and skewed. At the bottom of the poem, there is the word Zheng Xie, and several seals are printed.
"Who is Zheng Xie?"
Zhuang Rui asked out, but he regretted it as soon as the words came out. He also made a joke. Zheng Xie's character was Banqiao, but the name Zheng Banqiao was too famous. For a moment, Zhuang Rui did not react, which was almost the same as Yang Wei's father said that Tang Bohu and Tang Yin were two people.
Brother Xiong and the monkey looked at each other, and their eyes were full of suspicion. This man didn't even know the original name of Zheng Banqiao. Can he see whether it was true or false? If he was an impulsive person, he would buy it if he really did, but this man looked very calm, and it was not easy to
When Zhuang Rui lowered his head and covered other people's sight with a strand of hair on his forehead, he stared at the so-called Zheng Banqiao's calligraphy and painting. A yellow light flashed in his eyes, and the aura had already circled around the painting. When the aura returned to his eyes, there was no vision at all. Calligraphy and painting sentenced him to death.
Since he can absorb aura from the couplet and the manuscript, Zhuang Rui has done experiments in many books, but none of them contains aura. After thinking about it for a long time and combining the two times of absorbing aura, Zhuang Rui came to a conclusion that objects that can contain aura must be something that are ancient, from time. In other words, at least it should be before liberation, but this is based on the judgment made by the couplet of the saint.
Zhuang Rui even doubted whether the aura in the couplet and the manuscript could be the aura produced by the work under the author's concentration in his creation at that time. However, this idea is too absurd, and Zhuang Rui just thought of it inadvertently, but Zhuang Rui has determined at this moment that this thing in front of him must be a
"You two, I'm not sure about this thing. You'd better put it away first." Zhuang Rui raised his head and said to the two male brothers and monkeys with an expectant look in front of him.
Uncle De once told Zhuang Rui that there is no truth or falsehood in the antique industry, only the new and the old, and be a person to leave a line. Even if the things are new, ordinary people will only say that they can't see it clearly, can't say it well, and they will not directly point it out, and the seller will naturally
As soon as Zhuang Rui said this, Brother Xiong and the monkey looked at each other in consterious. Unexpectedly, this person who didn't even know Zheng Banqiao's real name didn't even ask the price, so he said a line. The two of them were wrong. How did they know that if Zhuang Rui didn't have those eyes, how On behalf of the printed matter, maybe he will think it's true when he sees the realistic print.
Monkeys and Brother Xiong are unlucky when they meet Zhuang Rui. This high imitation calligraphy and painting of Zheng Banqiao is relatively skillful. The paper of calligraphy and painting is indeed from the Qing Dynasty, and the font and painters are also done by masters. Compared with Zheng Banqiao's original work, it can almost be fake , and the "shaft rod" of the vertical shaft has also been old-fashioned. Generally speaking, people who know calligraphy and painting and are not very good at studying Zheng Banqiao will definitely think that this calligraphy and painting is Zheng Banqiao's handwriting. However, Zhuang Rui they met is an unusual guy, but his painstaking efforts are wasted.
Brother Xiong is also a bachelor. After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, he didn't have much. He put the calligraphy and paintings back in the box. This is their family to eat. Anyway, there are many people in the society now. If you don't cover Zhuang Rui, there will naturally be others who will be fooled.
Zhuang Rui is also not interested. Most of the aura in his eyes is less because he treats his mother's diseases. He is also eager to add it. Who knows that after shopping all morning, he has not encountered a valuable thing. It seems that even with these eyes, it is not so easy to pick up the leaks in the legend.
"You two, if you really have any old things in the future, just go to the pet house in front to say hello to the boss there. You are busy first..."
Zhuang Rui said a few words politely. He will go back to work in Zhonghai City in a month, and it is impossible to stay here all day. Instead, these people in front of him are fooling around here. Maybe he will encounter some good things sometime.
"Huh, huh, huh... Urgent, Urgent..."
After Zhuang Rui said hello, he was about to leave when a familiar and pleasant cry suddenly came from his ear.
