"Your ones are in simplified characters, okay?" Wu Chen is too lazy to argue with Da Ya, so he might as well save some effort, but he really doesn't know calligraphy very well, and he can't start with the various connotations of calligraphy for a while. The easiest way to convince Da Ya is to look at the content, "You clean your hands, come and see for yourself!"

Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, Da Ya wiped his hands, opened the manual by himself, and read page by page. Although the handwriting was scribbled, he could barely understand it. The more he read it, the more surprised he was. Well, it’s really Mr. Ioto’s manuscript!

Mr. Qingteng is Xu Wei, with a long character. As for the name, there are many, there must be more than a dozen!The most famous one is Old Man Ivy.There are also many titles, calligraphers, painters, military strategists, there are more than a dozen of them, big and small.Born in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, together with Xie Jin and Yang Shen, they were called the "Three Great Talents of the Ming Dynasty".

When Xu Wei was a teenager, he was known for his genius and elegance. He entered Xu's private school to study. It is said that he "received "The Great Learning" at the age of six and recited more than a thousand words every day."

When he was ten years old, he imitated Yang Xiong's "Explaining Mocking" and wrote an article "Explanation", "With the palm of your hand, you can say everything." This Yang Xiong is not an ordinary person, he is a master who dares to call himself a saint!It is also a big school in Yi Xue.

It's a pity that the sky is jealous of talents. Xu Wei became a student at the age of 20, but he failed in the next eight exams. He also encountered the famous Tang Bohu children's shoes.

Later, Xu Wei rented a house in the east of Shanyin City to set up a hall to teach apprentices, and later entered the shogunate of Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, "everything was done by him", and he made a surprise plan to defeat Xu Hai and other Japanese pirates, and established his military strategist. status.

In the 43rd year of Jiajing, Hu Zongxian was arrested because of being implicated in the Yan Song case, and committed suicide in prison. Xu Wei wrote "Shibai Fu" to mourn it.Li Chunfang strictly investigated the case of Hu Zongxian, and Xu Wei once went mad because of it. He wrote "Ziwei Epitaph" and even committed suicide three times. Crazy."

Two years later, Xu Wei was imprisoned for seven years because he killed his stepwife Zhang when he was ill.In prison, he completed the annotation of "Zhouyi Cantongqi", and tried to figure out the art of calligraphy and painting.

It was not until the first year of Wanli that the world was amnesty, and Xu Wei was released from prison with the rescue of the champion Zhang Yuanyu and others. After his release, he was 53 years old.From then on, he was poor for the rest of his life, hating high-ranking officials and nobles, wandering around Jinling, Xuanliao, and Beijing, and went to Xuanhuafu and other places outside the Great Wall through Juyongguan, where he taught Li Rusong the art of war, and got acquainted with the third wife of the Mongolian leader Alta.

Xu Wei made a living by selling paintings in his later years, but he never painted for the bureaucrats in power. Wandering alone", Du Men thanked the guests.

Among them, when Zhang Yuanbian died, he went to Zhang's house to express his condolences, and almost stayed behind closed doors. Finally, he ended his life at the age of 73 in the situation of "several crooked houses and a man with a southern accent".Before he died, there was only a dog by his side, and there was not even a mat on the bed, which was miserable.

After reading the manuscript, Da Ya was already stunned.He doesn't know much about calligraphy. He just thinks that the handwriting of this manuscript is scribbled and there are altered words everywhere. It should be used for daily life, and the content recorded in it fits well with Xu Wei's life in his later years. Could it be true? Wenchang's manuscript?

In fact, Wu Chen and Da Ya are a bit ignorant. This copybook has appeared in various auctions, and it is one of Xu Wei's relatively well-preserved works. This hand scroll is a diary-style draft, which should be from Xu Wei's later years. For daily records.

However, although they are not very good at antiques, as former literary youths, Mr. Qingteng they still know.When they were in high school, one of them rented an old house in the county seat.A few people squeezed into a side room, and often had nothing to do after dinner, arguing about various historical figures.

There was a debate about outstanding figures in the Ming Dynasty. Wu Chen admired Wang Shouren, Zhang Juzheng and others. Freedom; this view of life is quite different, and they debated for half a month. Although the literature available back then was limited, it was enough for them to understand.

During this period, Long Ze used violence several times, hoping to force them to admit that Zhu Hongwu is the most powerful guy in the entire Ming Dynasty by means of simple and rude methods, but there was no result, which shows how firm their stand was back then!It wasn't until a girl in a white dress lived in the opposite door that the topic stopped abruptly and turned to all kinds of dirty things.

"It's a pity that it's not the original manuscript of "Jin Ping Mei"!" Da Ya suddenly said regretfully. It can be seen that this should be a diary-like notebook. The content is very scattered, and most of them are about trivial matters in daily life.

"Hehe, you really want to!" Wu Chen also knew that this is definitely not a complete manuscript, and the content has not been officially published, but such things are also very precious, not much worse than manuscripts.

Da Ya was a little disappointed. About who the author of "Jin Ping Mei" was, Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng, there had been four mainstream theories. Among them, Xu Wei and Wang Shizhen were the most popular, and Da Ya was a staunch supporter of Xu Wei. It was also specially verified at that time.At the beginning, a few people didn’t care about it, and they were tossing around. Once you read the electronic engineering, you spend all day in the library to research the author of "Jin Ping Mei". Isn’t this crazy?Fortunately, this guy always goes crazy from time to time, and everyone has already become accustomed to it.

At the end of the semester, the digital circuit was suspended, the analog circuit was suspended, and the university physics was also suspended, but it really made Da Ya come up with something different.Generally, the researcher is based on the ability, experience, writing characteristics and content fit, etc., but this guy takes a different path, thinking that "Jin Ping Mei" was written in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, and it was first circulated in the form of manuscripts. Xu Wenchang is the author.

Da Ya stayed with the boss for a while, and Wu Chen didn't know what he was thinking, so he heard him howl suddenly: "If this is true, it must be worth a lot of money, right?!"

"Damn it! This is a die-hard fan!" Wu Chen almost broke out in a cold sweat, cursing weakly.

"Hey, you don't understand this, fans have to live! You see, it's not the same now. Fan associations are asking clubs for money, and fans of talent shows are shouting, screaming and crying to varying degrees. Is there a fee? Those big gods on the Internet are not allowed to send some benefits to fans regularly." Da Ya laughed and said, "Besides, I worship chickens, so I don't want to stop eating eggs, right?"

"Okay, what nonsense!" Wu Chen scolded with a smile, sincerely there was nothing he could do about it.He had already decided in his heart that this was Mr. Qingteng's manuscript. Firstly, it was because of the age, secondly, his own claim, and thirdly, his own logical judgment. It is unlikely that anyone in the same era would write Xu Wei's diary if they were full and free, right?He is not the emperor.

As for the appraisal of calligraphy, he wasn't worried either. Didn't Mr. Tian say that in a few days, he and Kong Si would be taken to visit Mrs. Liu, and then he would bring the manuscript and let him appraise it together.

In the next few days, Yang Jun was there, and he was responsible for buying vegetables, cooking and washing clothes every day, and he became a living nanny. Wu Chen and Da Ya, two lazy people, studied the manuscript every day, and often felt the helplessness from it. With the vicissitudes of life, you have to sigh with regret, looking like a young man of literature and art in Beidiao.

……

On the fourth day, the two got up, and were about to continue to "discuss" the lonely life of the down-and-out young man in the mid-Ming Dynasty, when they received a call from Kong Si, saying that it was Mr. Tian who asked if Wu Chen was free, if so. , might as well bring that seal to him.

Wu Chen already knew that Mr. Liu had come to Guangfu. Mr. Tian was going to take him to pay homage to the mountain gate. In fact, he was a little curious about the mysterious Mr. Liu. To make Mr. Tian admire him so much, at least it should be Everyone in a certain area, although he occasionally searched it these days, there is no such thing as "Old Liu" who is too famous in the circle.

After taking the seal and the scroll, and saying goodbye to Da Ya, he drove to Tian Lao's mansion by himself.Da Ya was going to pick up the car today, Wu Chen was afraid that his new car would bump into something right after it came out, and he would have to drive directly back to the 4S point, and ask Yang Jun to accompany Da Ya later. I can watch from the sidelines.

When we arrived at Tian Lao's mansion, Kong Si was already there. Tian Lao was wearing an old-fashioned black tunic suit. Seeing that Wu Chen had also arrived, he said with a smile that his old friend was free today, so let's go and visit together.

Wu Chen originally wanted Mr. Tian to appraise the manuscript first, but upon seeing this, he had to give up. He parked Gio in Mr. Tian's yard, got into the driver's seat of Mr. Tian's black Audi, and became the driver.Seeing that Kong Si was carrying some cakes in his hand, probably souvenirs, he remembered that he hadn’t brought anything with him the first time he came to the door. He felt a little embarrassed, and secretly blamed Kong Si for not reminding him.

Mr. Tian could hear their little brothers muttering in the front seat, and told Wu Chen to drive well!As for the souvenirs, they are all Cantonese-style dim sum. Brother Liu likes this one, and the younger generation will do it with some kindness.

Kong Si took the opportunity to ask who is this old man Liu?Hearing Mr. Tian mentioned it a few times, but never said what it was for, Wu Chen was also full of doubts.

Mr. Tian chuckled, and said that since we are going to meet each other, it’s okay to tell you first. This old brother Liu is more than ten years older than him. When he was locked up in the cowshed, old brother Liu happened to be there The cadre schools were all working people in those days, and there were very few people who had a common hobby.

The two met by accident, and hit it off, and they often discussed various life issues together. At that time, Mr. Tian didn't know that this old brother Liu had a great background. They all admire it very much.

Now he intends to promote two juniors, so he wants to introduce them. This old brother spent most of his time in Guangfu. In recent years, his wife is not in good health, so he returned to live in Beijing. The government has to stay for a while.

Hearing Mr. Tian's random thoughts along the way, he didn't reveal the origin of Mr. Liu in the end. After arriving at the famous mountain in the north of the city, he walked in along a small road, and Wu Chen gradually felt familiar. After walking for a while, he realized that this was the place Huang Xiaolin brought him to last time. It seemed to be called "Zunlong Mansion", but now he entered from another entrance, no wonder he felt familiar.

Following Elder Tian's instructions, we walked around the "country path" for a while, and came to an independent villa. There are more than a dozen cars parked under the tree, and there is a winding grassland outside, with several ponds dug on it, occasional small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and pavilions, a small world, self-contained.
