Portable space

The three of them came here purely for admiration, and none of them had any intention of buying.Walking through the hanging calligraphy and paintings is a feast for the eyes. There are various fonts inside, of which Kai, Lishu, and Xingshu are the most numerous.

There is actually an auction hall on the second floor of the museum, but there is no one in it now.After the introduction, if someone wants to sell some ancient relics of sages or precious calligraphy and paintings, they will only be auctioned here.The auction price may be much higher, but the price delivered to the restaurant will be even more.

There are some works of famous masters in the hall of the museum. Of course, no one would really put a particularly precious and peerless place in such a place with low defense. It is said that the works of famous masters are very famous. But the calligraphy and painting are not very high in price.Among them are a poem by Guo Moruo and an interesting picture of shrimp by Qi Baishi.

There is also an interesting corner where visitors can leave their own handwriting, whether they are named or not.The management staff of the museum will select some well-written characters and hang them in the exhibition area for display.This is a more humanized management.

Both Yang Wanli and Zhang Qianlong left their handwriting and mentioned their names, and it was regarded as a souvenir of their visit here.Zhang Taiping also wrote a few words on it, but did not leave his name.

After leaving the exhibition hall, under the guidance of passers-by, I walked a few steps and came to the block where the real large-scale exhibition was held.Sure enough, the artistic power of the people themselves is stronger. Compared with the inside of the exhibition hall, it can be said that there is a lot of people here, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going.The entire long street is full of calligraphy and painting exhibitions, but the quality here is indeed not as good as that in the exhibition hall.It's not that there are no good ones, it's just that they are uneven and require tourists to distinguish which is good and which is bad.

On the street, it’s not just exhibitions, but also some other things. Compared with the pure art in the exhibition hall, the ones on the street are closer to life. Some people set up stalls here purely to make money to support their families.

Zhang Qianlong stopped in a shop selling paper, ink, brushes and inkstones, but he fell in love with an inkstone that looked a bit old.Although he was in the jewelry and jade business, he didn't have much of a philistine and businessman's atmosphere on him. He looked gentle and refined, and he would always practice writing with a pen and ink in his spare time.Not long ago, I accidentally dropped the inkstone that I had used for a long time on the ground and broke it. Now I want to buy a new one.

The boss is a woman in her 30s. She doesn't have a beautiful face, but she has a good figure. She is dressed in a light-colored cheongsam that outlines her curves.One of the greatest clothes in China, the cheongsam, has the effect of making up for a slight lack of face with a figure.Even if the face is not particularly beautiful, the temperament can be highlighted under the cheongsam.

And the boss is obviously a woman who knows how to dress up. She put on a cheongsam here, and matched with the white paper and ink fragrance in the store, it has a charm of its own.It won't overwhelm the country and the city, but it can be thought-provoking.

The business in the store is very good, only the female boss and a ten-year-old girl are busy, so there is a little shortage of manpower, and I can't take care of Zhang Taiping and the three who just came in for the time being.The three of them didn't take it too seriously, they watched the layout and goods on display in the store, and waited patiently.

Finally, a large number of guests were sent away, and there were two or three left, the boss handed over to the little girl to entertain, and then he pulled away and came to Zhang Taiping and the others.She has already noticed the three of Zhang Taiping, Zhang Taiping's height and body shape are the objects of attention everywhere.

"I kept the three of you waiting for so long." The boss first came over and apologized with a slight bow, with a strong local accent, and then asked Zhang Taiping, "I don't know what the gentlemen are looking for?"

Zhang Taiping waved his hand and said: "It's not me, it's him." He pointed to Zhang Qianlong behind him.

The female boss turned slightly and looked at Zhang Qianlong with a smile.

"Boss, please take down the eight inkstones on the shelf inside and take a look." Zhang Qianlong pointed to one of the row of inkstones on the shelf behind the counter.

The female boss walked in from the side of the counter and asked, "Is this it?"

"The one with two spaces next to it."

The female boss moved her hand two more to the side.

"Yes, that's it." Zhang Qianlong said out loud.

Yang Wanli asked curiously from the side: "You haven't watched it yet, so you fell in love with that one?"

"There is no basis, it's purely a first impression, just look at it." Zhang Qianlong replied with a smile.

"Buying this thing actually has the same purpose no matter whether it is good or bad. The main reason is that I feel comfortable looking at it and using it, so I feel that the thing I chose is quite good." The female boss said after taking out the inkstone.

The inside of the inkstone is ink-colored, but it is not contaminated with dust. It is obvious that someone cleans it regularly.

Zhang Qianlong took it in his hand, looked at it, liked it, and asked, "How much?"

The female boss still smiled and said, "150 yuan."

Such a beautiful and temperamental female boss looks at you with a smile. Even a man is too embarrassed to bargain. Zhang Qianlong estimated the price. In fact, he did not ask for the price indiscriminately. A slightly better inkstone is the same price. The inkstone is also really good and the main thing is that I like it.

"Okay, just 150 yuan." Zhang Qianlong readily took out 200 yuan, and the female boss gave him [-] yuan.It seems that the charm of beautiful women is infinite, and even bargaining is directly saved.

At this moment, I heard the little girl's voice: "Auntie, come here quickly, a bird has trampled all the paper dirty."

The female boss hurried over after hearing this, and Zhang Taiping and Yang Wanli also walked over.When he entered the store just now, Xiaoxi flew out from Zhang Taiping's shoulder, probably this guy has caused trouble now.

Sure enough, no matter where the little guy landed, he would leave two colorful paw prints on it.It turns out that this shop not only sells pens, inks, papers and inkstones, but also buys some paints for painting.A customer came to buy paint just now, and he opened it and tried it on the field. Who would have thought that the bird would step on it twice when he got close to it, and then leave a portrait of a bamboo leaf in every place in the store.

The female boss was a little surprised that there was such a bird in the shop.

Zhang Taiping also had a headache, seeing this little guy playing happily, he probably didn't know that he had caused trouble.Zhang Qianlong and Yang Wanli behind were also dumbfounded.Zhang Taiping shouted: "Xiaoxi come here!"

Hearing Zhang Taiping's harsh voice, the little guy flew down from the air and wanted to land on Zhang Taiping's shoulder to flatter him, but Zhang Taiping grabbed it in his hands. Both paws were covered with paint, and when it landed on his shoulders, his clothes I can't wear it.I flicked its little head lightly with my hand, and the little guy shrank back, looking particularly aggrieved.It made Zhang Taiping not willing to discipline him anymore.

"Is this bird yours?" the female boss asked in surprise.

Zhang Taiping nodded embarrassedly and said, "Calculate how much the paper stained with paint is worth."

"No need, children are always surprised. In fact, there are not many. The ones on the counter can be cleaned later." The female boss said with a smile.

"What kind of bird are you? You're so smart." The young people holding the paint came together and asked.

Zhang Taiping looked at Xiaoxi who was now obediently nestled in his hands and said, "It's a magpie."

Several people beside him were amazed that there was such a clever magpie.

Zhang Taiping looked at the paint stained on his hand and asked, "Do you have any water in it?"

"Yes. Come here, Qian'er, and lead this gentleman to the water pipe inside." The female boss shouted to the little girl.

The little girl led Zhang Taiping to the back of the water pipe and ran out.Zhang Taiping cleaned Xiaoxi's two paws next to the faucet, and then washed his own hands.When I came out, there was another large group of customers shopping in the store.

I talked to the female boss, but the female boss still emphasized that it would not be a problem if I didn't dirty a few sheets. Seeing that the boss was busy greeting the guests, Zhang Taiping didn't insist anymore, and the three of them left the shop.

There are quite a few businesses on the street that are related to calligraphy and painting, but not calligraphy and painting. There are stalls with four gentlemen, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum.On the paper roll, which is one foot wide and two feet long, four gentlemen are used to form the three or four zi that the customer wants, and each piece ranges from ten yuan to 20 yuan.

There is also a hut for people to sketch on the spot, as long as the guest sits on the chair for a while, the person who can draw the portrait of the guest with a pencil is lifelike.

After Xiaoxi entered the room, he stood on the chair where the guest was sitting for the portrait and couldn't get off. The portraitist immediately swished the portrait of Xiaoxi with a pencil.

After painting, hand it to Zhang Taiping. "How much?" Zhang Taiping asked.

The person in the portrait held up three fingers.

Zhang Taiping was taken aback for a moment, it turned out he was dumb, no matter whether it was true or not, it was not easy to entangle him to bargain with him. "thirty?"

The person in the portrait nodded.Zhang Taiping didn't say anything, took out 30 yuan and handed it to him.In the midst of bowing and thanking him, he got out of the house.

After spending half an afternoon on the street, I opened my eyes. It is worthy of being called the "Calligraphy City". There are countless ancient calligraphy and painting books listed on the whole street, and there are many ancient paintings and authentic works that cannot be distinguished from the authenticity.There is even a chapter written by Wang Xizhi.A group of people around had different opinions, Zhang Taiping and the three watched it for a while and then left, no matter whether it was true or not, they were not interested.

It was already evening when I returned to the hotel from the street of the painting and calligraphy exhibition.
