Chapter 66 Visit Mr. Shen

Lin Fenglei and others quickly stood up and shouted respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Shen!"

Although Mr. Shen is 84 years old and full of silver hair, he is still energetic. He smiled and asked several people to sit down, and then sat on the main seat by himself. He smiled at Lin Fenglei and said, "Are you Xiao Lin?"

Lin Fenglei nodded and said, "Yes, I am Lin Fenglei. I'm lucky to be able to visit you today!"

Mr. Shen waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be so polite when you come to me. Just think it's in your own home. In fact, I have wanted to see you for a long time. Your club has donated a lot of money to the foundation in recent years, and I would like to thank you.

Lin Fenglei said, "It's nothing. I just did a trivial thing, which is far from you."

Mr. Shen laughed and said, "Haha, let's not praise each other." He looked at Chen Bing and Wang Chenggong and said, "I know this Xiao Wang. Who is this little girl?"

Lin Fenglei quickly said to Mr. Shen, "This is my wife Chen Bing. We have held a Western-style wedding in Switzerland on New Year's Day, and we will have a Chinese wedding in Beijing this month. Please be present at that time."

Mr. Shen was very happy. He nodded repeatedly and said, "I will definitely be there then."

Lin Fenglei quickly motioned Wang Chenggong to take out the invitation and the gift he brought and gave it to Mr. Shen. After Mr. Shen took it, he first looked carefully at the invitation, nodded repeatedly and put it aside. Then he took the long box containing the gift and asked Lin Fenglei, "What is this?"

Lin Fenglei said, "This is a small gift for you. I hope you like it. Please open it and have a look.

Mr. Shen muttered, "I have always received no gifts, but I fell in love with you, and I will accept your gift."

He opened the box and saw a scroll inside. Although it had not been opened, he could already see that its paper had turned yellow and looked antique. Mr. Shen couldn't help but feel solemn. He carefully opened the scroll and looked at it for a while. His hands couldn't help trembling and looked very exciting. Move.

Mr. Shen asked his secretary to bring a magnifying glass, and then looked at the scroll carefully for a long time. Then he raised his head and said to Lin Fenglei, "This is the authentic work of Xu Wei in the Ming Dynasty." Then he lowered his head and read out the contents of the scroll: "

Yesterday, the snowy donkey has no hoofs, and today the snowy donkey can ride.

At this time, I went to visit Yang Daoshi, and the blue sky was still under the pressure of Yang Hua.

Although there are many scenes outside the Taiping Gate, the plum blossoms are cool.

Qixia can't make an appointment, and she is alone with Qianfeng's old crow's neck.

Then he looked up and said to Lin Fenglei, "This is Xu Wei's own poem "Riding a donkey in the snow to visit a Taoist in Yu Guan to recall the appointment of the sun and Qixia". Where did you get this word?"

Lin Fenglei said, "This is what I bought from a businessman in Italy. According to him, his ancestors participated in the Eight-Nation Alliance, and this is what he brought to Italy from China."

Mr. Shen didn't ask anything more, but he knew that the process of Lin Fenglei getting this word was definitely not simple. It has been more than a hundred years since he brought this word to Italy from China, and he hasn't sold it for more than a hundred years. How can he easily sell it to others? Lin Fenglei must have paid an unimaginable price. He shook his head, put the scroll back in the box as it was, and then handed it to Lin Fenglei and said, "This gift is so precious that I can't accept it."

Lin Fenglei's process of getting this word is really tortuous. He accidentally knew through Drurentis that the Italian businessman had such a scroll in his hand. He thought it was very suitable as a gift for Mr. Shen. In addition, this scroll is also China's national treasure, and he can't sit and read it. It was lost overseas, so he sent someone to find the Italian businessman through the relationship of Drurentis and asked him for the scroll.

The Italian businessman is not short of money. His family uses this scroll as a family heirloom. Of course, he refuses to give it. In the end, DeLaurentis played an important role in it. With his status in Italy, and the businessman also asked for something from him, he finally had to promise to give up the scroll in his face, but he offered a high price of 1.5 million euros, hoping to scare off the wind and lightning and keep the scroll, but Unexpectedly, when Lin Fenglei heard the price, he punched the money without blinking his eyes and got the scroll.

However, of course, Lin Fenglei will not say these things to Mr. Shen. He smiled and said to Mr. Shen, "Mr. Shen, don't refuse. I don't know calligraphy. This scroll is also ruined by me. It's just in your hands. In fact, I didn't spend much money. A friend helped me get it. I was afraid it was a fore, which made you laugh. I'm relieved to have your palm.

In fact, before buying this scroll, Lin Fenglei asked an expert from the auction house to identify it. He paid the money after confirming that it was the authenticity. Now it is just for the sake of An Shen's heart.

Mr. Shen stroked the box and nodded after meditating for a long time, "Since you are so sincere, I won't be pretentious. I accept your gift, but I just keep it temporarily. I will make a will. After a hundred years, I will donate this scroll to the country. In the end, it is better for such treasures to be kept by the state.

Lin Fenglei nodded: "Anyway, this thing is already yours. It's your freedom to deal with it."

Mr. Shen smiled and said, "I still want to accept your kindness. Well, I can't ask for your things for nothing. It happens that you are going to have a wedding on the 16th, and I will bring you a gift that day."

Lin Fenglei quickly said, "No gift, it's best if you arrive."

Mr. Shen waved his hand and said, "Don't refuse. There is a good exchange of courtesy. Besides, it's not a valuable thing. It's just a little intention."

Lin Fenglei listened to Mr. Shen's words and did not refuse again.

Mr. Shen opened the scroll again, spread it on the table, and appreciated it carefully. He also called Lin Fenglei and others to the table. He enthusiastically introduced Xu Wei, the author of this work, to them: "Xu Wei and Xu Wenchang, you should have heard of his name, right? This is a legend. Together with Xie Jin and Yang Shen, he is called the 'Three Talents of the Ming Dynasty'. There have been so many talents in the Ming Dynasty for nearly 300 years. It can be seen that he can be among the three talents.

"He is proficient in poetry, literature, calligraphy, painting, drama, history, food, and even the art of war. He fought against Japan in Hu Zongxian and taught Li Rusong's art of war. Unfortunately, his life was bumpy, and he was even more poor in his old age. He could only sell words and paintings for a living. When he died, his family was surrounded by disciples. What a pity!" Speaking of this, Mr. Shen shook his head and sighed, saying a few regrets.

"Xu Wenchang's calligraphy is the best he has ever learned, the so-called 'calligraphy first, poetry second, literature third, painting fourth'. Of course, later generations have some different views on it, but his calligraphy is indeed a great achievement. He can be said to have opened the calligraphy style of the Ming Dynasty. Tao Wangling once said that his calligraphy is 'called Qijue, and there is a bright person', which is quite a high evaluation. Mr. Qi Baishi once claimed to be 'a walking dog under the green vine door' and admired Xu Wenchang very much.

Speaking of this, Mr. Shen hung his finger on the scroll and said, "Actually, my calligraphy has also been influenced by Xu Wenchang a lot, but I haven't had his authentic work yet. The price of his work is too high to buy it. Speaking of this, Mr. Shen shook his head and laughed: "But now, I can also watch the master's works every day. Maybe there will be a breakthrough in my calligraphy."

Lin Fenglei and others stood at the table respectfully, looking at Mr. Shen painting the empty space of the scroll with great interest. They didn't dare to get out of the atmosphere. In front of such a master, they could only listen and couldn't insert a word.

At this time, Mr. Shen's wife came out and said, "The nanny has prepared dinner and is ready to eat."

Lin Fenglei quickly said goodbye to Mr. Shen, but Mr. Shen said, "Don't leave today. Just have a meal with me. It's rare that I'm happy today. Xiaolin, please have a drink with me."

Seeing that Mr. Shen was very merciful, Lin Fenglei could only stay in Shen's hometown to disturb him.
