Sui Dynasty: I, Yang Guang, am both scrupulous and stable

Chapter 123 The rice circle culture of the Sui Dynasty

In Prince Jin's Mansion, Yang Guang squatted on the edge of the pond with a puzzled look on his face, holding a fishing rod in his hand and dangling boredly. The fishing line swayed in the water with the fishing rod. There were a lot of fish in the shallow pond. Was driven away.

Yuan Tiantian said anxiously behind him: "Your Highness, how can you catch fish like this?"

"You do not understand."

"Your Highness, Jiang Taigong, must at least be willing to take the bait when fishing. If you do this, even those who wish will not be able to take the bait."

Yang Guang was a little troubled: "It's been so many days and there's been no movement from my brother. It seems like your plan won't work."

Yuan Tiantian said firmly: "The prince has a strong temperament, so this plan will definitely work, unless there is an expert behind the prince who can help him change his personality."

"Why are you so confident in your own strategy?"

"Your Highness, I know how to read faces, so I am naturally confident. His Royal Highness's temperament is reflected in his face."

Yang Guang turned around and asked, "Then look at what I look like."

Yuan Tiantian fell silent for a moment, unable to say a word.

"Is it because you can't tell or you don't dare to say it?"

"Your Majesty, you look handsome."

Yang Guang threw the fishing rod away: "You, this maid, are becoming more and more unruly. If you dare to tease me, I will find you a man who will marry you right now."

"Your Highness, it's necessary." Yuan Tiantian said in a panic: "I can't see your Highness's face. I don't have the ability."

Yang Guang was bored. He thought that Yang Yong would be furious because of Yun Rui and Yun Qi's incident, but he didn't expect that almost a month had passed. Yang Yong had no movement, no anger, and no actions. This style was not like Yang Yong's. .

"Hey, forget it, there is an auction tonight, specializing in calligraphy and painting, and the finale of Wang Xizhi's Orchid Pavilion. I haven't even read the original copy yet, I have to go and see it."

After clapping his hands and getting up, Yang Guang took the guards around him and headed to the West Market. First, he went to see his sales department. Everything was in good condition now. During the period, Yang Guang sold another area, and it was still bustling.

People who bought a house in the early stage and the price increased now no longer regard the house as a residence, but as a novel financial product. Investment real estate can be compared to others, it is stable and has a large room for appreciation, so as long as it starts to be sold, it must be Overcrowded.

Zhang Da, the person in charge of real estate, was still tactful and reported the recent situation to Yang Guang. Yang Guang nodded with satisfaction: "Keep doing it. Remember those who buy and sell houses. If the price is lower than expected, don't list it. You must let people know." I know the real estate market in Daxing City is very hot now."

"My subordinate understands."

"As for the management of the market in the future, we still have to recruit people. The West Market is a mixed bag. It will be slightly better after being divided into blocks, but it is still chaotic, so the quality of the managers must be excellent. Our recruitment and treatment standards will not worry about not being able to recruit people. I have given you the authority, but you have to control it yourself and don't recruit unreasonable people."

"I will obey His Highness's orders."

Zhang Da always has a submissive look. This is his character. It would be great if he can do things extremely efficiently.

Lu Bi, an old friend whom he hadn't seen for a long time, came here to look for Yang Guang: "His Royal Highness, King Jin, I came to your house to look for you before. My servant said that you came to the market, so I rushed here."

Lu Ben, who had made a fortune following Yang Guang, was smiling.

"Mr. Lu, I wonder what you want from me today?"

Lu Bi pulled Yang Guang and whispered: "Your Highness, I heard that Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy will be auctioned at this auction. Is it true?"

As a good friend, Lu Ben naturally knew that Yang Guang was behind the auction.

"What? Are you interested?"

Lu Ben's eyebrows suddenly danced with excitement: "Of course, I love Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy very much. There is no better calligraphy in the world than his. There are many calligraphy hidden in the house, but the "Mid-Autumn Tie" has always been unavailable. , I once hid the word for His Majesty, but I didn’t expect that I really love this word here, Your Highness, could you please give me your love?”

When Lu Bi spoke, his expression looked like he was introducing a fan of his favorite novel to his classmates (I also want such a reader, pouting).

Yang Guang recalled the "Mid-Autumn Post". This was the words that the emperor gave him when he first traveled through time and entered the palace. When he asked the emperor for the area that Yang Lihua wanted, he said that his birthday was coming soon.

He didn't like these things very much. Occasionally he saw Wang Xianzhi's name written on it. He was Wang Xizhi's son, so he put them up for auction.

"They are already on the roster. If I take them down now, I will be breaking my promise. Then, Lord Lu, you can just shoot them. According to your financial resources, there should be no one who can compare with you."

Lu Ben scratched his head, not that he felt sorry for the money, but he said very seriously: "Your Highness, this is not a big problem, but I have a request."

"What's the matter?"

"Change the auction sequence of "Mid-Autumn Tie" with "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection" and use "Mid-Autumn Tie" as the finale."

"Ah?" Yang Guang asked a question on his forehead: "Why?"

Lu Bi said angrily: "Your Highness's auction order makes people think that the "Preface to the Lanting Collection" is more precious than the "Mid-Autumn Tie". Such an evaluation is unfair and very biased. The minister feels that Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy is the most precious one in history. one."

Speaking of this, Lu Ben came like a surging river: "The stippling in "Mid-Autumn Tie" is soft and full of changes. Wang Xianzhi wrote cursive script in regular script, using the "ups and downs" method of regular script and the "changing strokes every time". The method is used appropriately and naturally and smoothly. The imitations circulated outside can hardly match its essence. I once saw it in the palace, and I thought about it day and night, how could Your Highness rank it weaker than "The Preface to the Lanting Collection" ." Yang Guang feels that Lu Ben has some fandom behavior now. Today's behavior is tantamount to a celebrity feud. Wang Xianzhi is the white moonlight in Lu Ben's heart. He has a good heart. Now Yang Guang ranks him as weaker than Wang Xizhi. He Lu Ben was dissatisfied.

Yang Guang was helpless. Why did the rice circle culture start at this time? He was not interested in calligraphy and painting. He only knew that "Preface to the Lanting Collection" was the best running script in the world. Everyone praised it. There was a poem in later generations: "Lanting Lintie Running Script" Like flowing clouds and flowing water, I push the door under the moon as carefully as your footsteps. I am so busy that the thousand-year monument is easy to expand, but it is difficult to expand your beauty.

The knowledge about Wang Xianzhi mainly remains in the proverbial story about Wang Xianzhi and Wang Xizhi, their father and son.

Legend has it that Wang Xianzhi has been practicing calligraphy since he was a child, and he wrote all three cylinders of water. Feeling that he had left the profession, he wrote the character "大" to Wang Xizhi. After reading it, Wang Xizhi said nothing and added a little to the word "大".

Wang Xianzhi was puzzled and showed the word to his mother. His mother left a comment after reading it.

"My son has polished off three jars of water, but only a little bit resembles Xi's."

At that time, Wang Xianzhi realized that his handwriting was already very good, but it was still a little behind his father's. This point made no difference to outsiders, but to experts, it was the really difficult point.

The proverb warns us to avoid "small success means fullness."

Later in the story, Wang Xianzhi wrote all eighteen jars of water, and became the second king together with his father, the calligrapher Wang Xizhi.

Some people also praised: Wang Xizhi came before the Eighteen Jars of Water, and Wang Xianzhi came after the Eighteen Jars of Water. In this era, Wang Xianzhi still has the upper hand over Wang Xizhi.

Whose handwriting is better?Wen Wu is not the first, Wu Wu is not the second, I am afraid it is difficult to draw a conclusion. In the eyes of people who like it, the one they like is naturally the best. Lu Ben was angry because Wang Xianzhi's words were not as important as Wang Xizhi's in the auction order. He is Wang Xianzhi fans.

But in the future, Wang Xizhi's fans will be much crazier than him, such as Li Shimin, who gave Wang Xizhi the name of calligrapher. Later emperors of the Tang Dynasty also respected Wang Xizhi. It is even said that the number one female fan Wu Zetian brought Wang Xizhi's Lanting Preface to the tomb. in.

Yang Guang said helplessly to Lu Ben: "The rankings have been set, is it too late to change now?"

"Your Highness, no, absolutely no. Wang Xianzhi's calligraphy is unparalleled in the world, how can he lag behind others?"

"That's his father, just treat him as a filial piety."

"This needs to be discussed separately. Privately, he is called father, but calligraphy is not called father."

Yang Guang had a headache and had to excuse himself to go to the auction. Lu Ben followed Yang Guang all the way to the auction site, praising Wang Xianzhi along the way.

In the auction venue, because it is still early, the decorations are still being carried out, and the Nanxi girl is directing in the venue.

"The lanterns here are hung higher, and snacks should be placed on the table so they don't miss out."

While Nanxi was making arrangements, she turned her head when she heard Lu Bi's noisy voice behind her. His Royal Highness Prince Jin greeted her with a smile on his face when he saw her.

"Nan Xi has met His Royal Highness King Jin and Duke Lu."

"How are the preparations?"

"Everything is ready. With the experience from the previous time, it is much smoother now, and the people under my command are also much more skilled."

"Well, that's good. After this auction, we will probably go to Daxing City next time. The site is already being built. Because the construction progress of the Imperial City is advanced, it is estimated that the construction time of Changlefang will also be advanced. "

"Nanxi, it's all up to His Highness's arrangement."

Lu Ben was sensible at this time. When he saw Yang Guang and Nan Xi talking, he walked away. It was not beautiful to disturb other people's elegant taste.

The auction started soon, and the atmosphere was much more lively than before. A group of people filed in, and Yang Guang discovered a trend, that is, the nobles came to the auction, and many of them were accompanied by women. Most of them don't look like real wives.

Regardless of these things, with Nan Xi's brisk and clear voice, the auction began.

Nan Xi still looked very charming. When she took the stage, everyone's eyes unconsciously focused on her.

Today is a special event for calligraphy and painting. Because people in this era are fond of calligraphy and painting, these things are more valuable than other antiques.

Yu Wenhuaji came to Yang Guang's side: "Your Highness."

"Do you like it too?"

"It's not me. My father likes Wang Xizhi's calligraphy very much. He asked me to bring enough money today. I must pay a good price for Wang Xizhi's Preface to the Orchid Pavilion Collection to be worthy of this calligraphy."

What a fan.

"How much money did you bring?"

"For Wang Xizhi's reputation, my father told me to take pictures boldly. The higher the price, the more famous my husband will be."

This is a bit similar to live PK.
