Chapter 347 Seal and Review

Chapter 347 Seal and Review

"Frame it and send it to the child. There are rewards and punishments. If you can have the energy to draw such a unique wisteria flower, then this painting can be regarded as a return gift from me as an elder."

The ink is thick and the writing is vigorous.

After finishing writing a hearty large character, only a few minutes later, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Cao Xuan's forehead.

Lao Yang took a waistcoat and put it on Cao Xuan's shoulders, silently reciting this page of words.

The luminous pearls do not have to come from the Mengjin River; the jade that holds the hand does not have to be collected from the Kunlun Mountains. This is a famous sentence in "Shishuo Xinyu·Yu", which means that the luminous pearls that shine brightly do not necessarily have to be from Mengjin. The bright jade that shines all over the world can only be produced in the river, and it is not only produced on the top of Kunlun Mountain.

These two sentences are easy to understand.

Young people like Gu Weijing who were born in remote areas of the world do not have to feel inferior because of their background.

Heroes don't ask where they come from.

As for whether there is an old gentleman among them, he goes a step further, saying that between Gu Weijing and Tang Ning, the jewel in the scholarly family, even though they were born in very different family backgrounds, they are not incapable of being better and more outstanding than Tang Ning, and even become the successor that Mr. Cao values ​​​​more. What do people mean?
God knows.

The remaining line of words is even more particular.

Thousands of rocks competing for beauty and thousands of valleys competing for beauty were originally used to describe the famous mountains and rivers described by the famous painting artist Gu Kaizhi. In later generations, they were also compared to the competing beauty of calligraphy and painting masters.

Li Sixun and Wen Zhengming both created paintings with this theme.

Cao Xuan happened to add the words "outstanding" after this sentence, and his praise, love and encouragement for Gu Weijing were beyond words.

"Do you want to use a seal?"

Lao Yang asked about the difference between casual calligraphy practice and formal works.

There are those urban legends about the scavengers who opened the trash cans of virtuous people and unearthed tens of millions of wealth. The handwriting of masters they picked up and brought home were all discarded manuscripts that had not been printed.

Abandoned manuscripts are also valuable, but if the price per square foot is [-]% of the official works, it is sky-high.

Cao Xuan's works from different periods include dozens of various seals, large and small.

The commonly used ones nowadays include the seal script [Cao Xuan], the two sister seals of Fangtian Huangshi [Qing Que Sheng] and [Baibi Ke].

The former is more formal and the latter is rarer.

According to statistics, there are only 79 works that can be stamped with either of the two seals "Qing Qisheng" or "Baibi Ke".

On the contrary, the market price is more natural than that of rare things.

"Build [Cao Xuan], um... let's build another [Jinghe Zhai Secret Book]."

"Secrets of Jinghezhai?" Lao Yang was puzzled and couldn't remember which chapter it was.

"Yes, this seal is not commonly used. I put it away separately. You go get the ink pad and I will seal it myself."

Cao Xuan saw the assistant's confusion and said calmly.

The secret book of Jinghezhai has the word "secret book" at the end. It is not a stamp stamped on the palm of Tathagata, the magic power of martial arts, but it means that it is a collection seal, a book collection seal.

The most famous book-collecting seals of this type in history are calligrapher Mi Fu's favorite private seals, "Mi Fu's Secret Book" and "Baojin Zhai Secret Book".

This type of seal was occasionally used on other occasions in later generations. For example, Cao Xuan also had a seal for the book collection of "Tingcha Xuan".

Jinghezhai is the elegant name of Mr.'s bookstore.

This seal is a souvenir left by the teacher to Cao Xuan.

The original inscription "Spring silkworms spin silk, spring clouds float in the sky, spring water melts ice, trickling down to express the spirit", and the private seal stamped on it is this "Jinghezhai Secret Book".

In Cao Xuan's calligraphy and painting career, he rarely used this seal, only about ten times.

It is even less than the works that cover the two chapters of "Qing Yusheng" and "Baibi Ke" at the same time.

It's just that all the works were given to his close friends and have never been circulated in the market, so they are not famous.

"You can add Gu Weijing's WeChat account to me. I won't have a lunch break today and I want to chat with him."

Cao Xuan stared at the words at hand: "I really want to know what kind of insights can lead to drawing such flowers. Probably, they are bitter."
-
The other side of Eurasia.

It was another peaceful morning at Gu's calligraphy and painting shop.

"Ask the world if this mountain is the highest, or if there is another place higher than the sky..."

On the screen of the mobile phone placed in front of the laundry mirror, short videos of marketing account headlines that the elderly love to use are scrolling [Who can win in a fight between Guo Jing and Zhang Wuji?Looking down, it turns out that there is someone else who is the ultimate master! ! ! 】.

The theme song from an old-school martial arts movie roared from the loudspeaker, startling two little sparrows who landed outside the bathroom window and preened their feathers.

Gu Tongxiang held a toothbrush in his mouth and stared at the AI-dubbed Douyin account with relish, blowing bubbles and swaying to the melody.

"Well, that's not right. Poof, even if Zhang Wuji's Great Shift of the Universe can be used to gain strength, Guo Juxia's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms are inherently extremely powerful. Poof, it's definitely not something that Xuanming and Ming can do. Than……"

"layman."

Old Man Gu stared at his phone for a while, shook his head, spat out the mouthwash vaguely, and raised his neck to show his disdain for the views in the video.

He hummed a martial arts song for a while, wiped his face with a towel, and did not leave the bathroom immediately. Instead, he took out a bottle of [Minoxidil Hair Growth Lotion] from the bathroom shelf and carefully applied it to his bald hair. Liang's forehead was rubbed.

Money is heroic courage, career is manly clothing.

People are in their sixties.

There are twists and turns, spring is warm and flowers are blooming.

Old Man Gu's life during this period of time was as if he had stepped on a big piece of shit. His luck was so prosperous that nothing could stop him.

I signed a contract with a big gallery and was noticed by a beautiful little rich Austrian collector. How could I be so happy!
Gu Tongxiang began to focus on taking care of his "artistic old man" temperament again, and specially purchased various hair growth medicines online.

“I don’t know if my hair follicles can be maintained after being bald for so long!”

The old man carefully circled the precious two tufts of hair on his forehead, rubbed and applied the care medicine for more than 20 minutes, and then put down the bottles with satisfaction.

"So energetic! So beautiful."

He was very satisfied with his radiant appearance. He looked at the white towel on the shelf and hesitated for a long time, but he still didn't have the nerve to put it on the back of his neck and go out.

Ugh.

Today's young people don't learn from Chow Yun-fat anymore.

I remember that he was also a flower in Myanmar back then, and there was little Ma Ge on the river bank in Yangon.

"Good morning? Dad, you're out here, listening to music. How about breakfast? I specially made whole grain and soy milk, and now I make a point of drinking it to supplement dietary fiber and maintain health!"

The aunt's greeting came from the kitchen. When she saw that the old man had washed up and came out of the bathroom, she immediately brought out a large pot of steaming soy milk.

"Added sugar?"

In front of the juniors, Gu Tongxiang immediately became serious and showed off his paternal dignity.

"add."

"I won't add it next time. If you eat too many sweets, your blood sugar will be high." Gu Tongxiang shook his head and thought for a moment: "Why did you have breakfast and go out?"

"Yes, he went out early in the morning on weekends. I can't control him. After I got a girlfriend, I became a little wild."

Auntie nodded and started to report as usual, "Dad, you have to take more care of him. He is about to go to high school, isn't he? Besides, I don't have to talk about him. It's just that he is an elder after all. If..."

While the aunt was talking, she thought of her daughter Gu Lin, who was still eating and playing on her mobile phone at the dining table, and suddenly stopped talking.

"Tch, Mom, I just heard you muttering in the kitchen when my brother went out, saying that if he caused other girls to get pregnant, wouldn't someone poke the back of our old Gu family!" Gu Lin didn't even raise his head. Pressing the phone, he complained: "Isn't it just that thing in bed? I have taken a physical hygiene class, okay? Last year at Dewey, an older senior sister dropped out of school. The teacher said it was asthma. We all know that. , she is pregnant."

"Shut up, I don't care what other students are like. If Gu Linqian dares to do something like this, I'll take your skin off!"

The middle-aged woman immediately patted her daughter with her palm.

Auntie still doesn't believe it.

My seemingly introverted and ordinary nephew was able to hook up with a "super high profile" girlfriend like Sakai Katsuko.

Why.

Do all girls nowadays have this kind of aesthetic?

This is really about studying art!

My aunt secretly complained about the previous Mona, a pretty and clean little girl who probably had bad eyesight, but she actually liked her nephew.

But who made them childhood sweethearts?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the aunt figured it out as she pinched her nose. She only regretted that she had not found a rich, handsome, and wealthy son-in-law as a playmate for her daughter since childhood.

But compared with the current Sakai.

That little Indian girl has become a country girl with nothing to do except her face.

If only people like Gu Weijing in this world would have such good luck.

Doesn't his daughter Gu Lin have to bring home a Monaco crown prince or something to be able to compete with her?

On the one hand, the aunt was worried about when a European prince would come to their home, but on the other hand, she felt sad and unfavorable about the couple Gu Weijing and Sakai Katsuko.

Humph, young man.

Reality is not a fairy tale. How many years can such a mismatched couple last after the impulsive period of love?
I heard that her father is a very rich painter.

It doesn't matter if her nephew wants to be a phoenix man, as long as he doesn't fly up the branch, fails to take good care of his girlfriend, and offends others badly, it's fine if he doesn't turn around and make the whole family bear a grudge.

When Miss Sakai came to the door, my aunt wanted to run over and interrupt.

It turned out that Mrs. Sakai was too majestic.

That skin, that temperament, that figure, those little eyes, that tone that is clearly talking to you, but like an unquestionable command.It's the feeling that my aunt has always dreamed of, but even if she wants to imitate, she can't imitate the essence of it.

He sent her aunt away with just a few words. She was so shocked that she didn't even have the courage to act like a monster.

Look, women know women.

Now that I can give gifts, if Miss Sakai breaks her heart in the future, it will be equally terrifying and terrible for such a rich lady to get angry.

In the whole family, my aunt felt that she was the only one who was awake when everyone else was drunk, and had a clear mind and a sense of crisis.

"Pregnant?"

Gu Tongxiang didn't know his daughter-in-law's complex psychological activities.

The old man was just stunned.

Just thinking about it makes me feel...it’s so exciting.

I heard that mixed-race children are the prettiest. With Miss Sakai's appearance, if she and Gu Weijing can achieve enlightenment in the future, the great-grandson born to him will definitely be super cute and fun.

"dad?"

Gu Tongxiang's beautiful thoughts were lost in thought for a moment, and the silly music continued.

It wasn't until his aunt reminded him with a suspicious look on his face that he came back to his senses.He felt that what he just thought was a bit too old-fashioned, and he coughed twice in embarrassment.

"Ahem." Gu Tongxiang put on a straight face and said, "I have already discussed with Wei Jing what should be said. He will be an adult soon. I believe he can grasp the appropriate standards. . Since you can’t control the rest, don’t worry about it. Young people’s lives should be more colorful.”

Auntie couldn't catch her breath.

She couldn't believe that such words were said by her father-in-law, who had always been rigid and dignified.

If you can't take care of it, then don't take care of it.

That's it!

This guy didn't have this tone before.

"By the way, also, since I'm quite busy now, don't let him run out to buy breakfast every day. It's good for our family to make it ourselves like today."

Gu Tongxiang thought for a moment and added something special.

"Whatever you call it is pretty good. There are only so many jobs. If he doesn't buy them, I'll have to do it..."

It's okay for her aunt to make soy milk occasionally, but it would still be troublesome for her if she had to get up every morning to make breakfast.

"So be it."

Under Gu Tongxiang's non-negotiable tone, no matter how unhappy her aunt was, she muttered and walked away.

Comfortable!

The old man looked at his daughter-in-law walking back to the kitchen, took a sip of the dark soy milk, and nodded with satisfaction.

He knows that his wife here is a philistine.

Philistines also have the benefits of being philistines, they are springs.

The more capable you are, the more she will come to curry favor with you.In those few years when the eldest son first brought her in, when he was painting old oil paintings and saving a lot of money, this woman was quite well-behaved.

Over the years, I have been trying my best to send my two children to the best local international schools. In addition, I have been planning their tuition fees to study abroad. There is no big leakage in the art market. Money is getting tight, and my daughter-in-law is slowly getting better. Started shaking.

Suddenly, he and Wei Jing signed a contract with Ma Shi Gallery. It seemed that in a few years, they would be able to make a lot of money again.

Before the aunt could change her tone from squinting her neck and squinting her eyes, her mood actually became more respectful again.

In the past, his daughter-in-law found it too noisy when he brushed his teeth and played music, let alone preparing some soy milk for his father-in-law.

"Haha, in two or three years, she will be completely successful as a manager, and she will be the one to make a good nephew in the future. Man, you just have to be capable."

Gu Tongxiang smacked his lips like a philosopher.

"What are you playing for? You are so involved." He turned to look at his granddaughter.

Gu Lin casually locked the screen, threw the phone into his pocket, and avoided his grandfather, "You can't understand what I'm playing with. Grandpa, I'd better care about your behavior."

"You go ahead and play. If you need living expenses, grandpa will take care of it."

Old Man Gu was not angry either. He waved his hand grandly, took a thermos cup, poured a pot of soy milk, put the piece of agarwood he had snatched from his grandson in his arms, and walked outside.

Gu Tongxiang remembered something.

It’s the time of year for the annual Yangon Calligraphy and Painting Association directors to change and to recommend members to the national association, old man Wu told him a while ago.

Where is Gu Weijing's review information?

Something seems to be wrong.
