Chapter 42 Yuantong?STO?
These calligraphy and paintings are almost all from modern celebrities, and one of the most valuable paintings is Chen Shizeng's painting of flowers and birds.

Although it is not a work of Chen Shizeng's peak period, the starting price of the current market is also hundreds of thousands.

Monk Yuantong glanced at Zhao Yushi unexpectedly. He occasionally wanted to admire Chen Shizeng's painting of flowers and birds. Zhao Yushi treasured it very much and was reluctant to take it out on weekdays. But now he gave it to Mu Zhengyang with full sincerity. He came, but he didn't say anything, he quietly wanted to see how Mu Zhengyang would deal with it.

It is not a gentleman to show kindness in return, but it is a villain to know that one does not repay favors.

It comes from "Jing Shi Tong Yan" compiled by Feng Menglong in the late Ming Dynasty, which tells the story of Zhao Kuangyin sending Jingniang off thousands of miles away.

Jingniang is willing to entrust her to her for life, but Zhao said: "The virtuous sister is not my glue. ".Jing Niang said: "Brother En, I have a good opinion. I can't make up for the great virtues in this life, and I will die as a knot."So Jingniang committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake, and was posthumously named Mrs. Zhenyi, and Jingniang Lake got its name from this.

When Mu Zhengyang rescued people in Tiekou Lane, he didn't care about the identities of the rescued, nor did he think about seeking rewards in the future. He just did what he thought he should do, and later rejected Zhao Kang Ping's invitation, but in his opinion, Zhao Kuangyin's actions were a bit too much, which led to Jingniang's suicide, so he smiled and said to Zhao Yushi: "I save people by myself, and the old man came from a long way on purpose. I have already received thanks from the old man, but there are too many calligraphy and paintings, so let me pick out the one I like!"

Zhao Yushi knew very well that among his calligraphy and paintings, except for Chen Shizeng's painting of flowers and birds, the other collections were of very average value. Since Mr. Mu planned to choose one he liked, he should choose Chen Shizeng's painting of flowers and birds. With the level of this Mr. Mu, he might not have taken a fancy to the several paintings, so he nodded and said: "That line, I will spread it out for you to see, Mr. Mu can choose whatever he wants!"

Monk Yuantong helped and spread the calligraphy and paintings brought by Zhao Yushi on the long table.

Mu Zhengyang glanced at it. From an artistic point of view, Chen Shizeng's painting of flowers and birds stood out from the crowd, and from the eyes of Zhao Yushi and the bald monk, they should all like Chen Shizeng's painting of flowers and birds very much. There was a pair of long yellowed scrolls.

The yellowed long scroll is the only one with a bit of history in these calligraphy and paintings, and only the small black characters of "Mountain and River Picture" in the middle of the top are particularly clear, but the content in the painting is blurred, only the outlines of mountains and rivers can be seen faintly, and there is no other special places.

Mu Zhengyang pointed to the yellowed scroll and said, "Then I will choose this painting!"

Zhao Yushi didn't expect Mu Zhengyang to choose this painting, and explained to Mu Zhengyang: "I bought this painting decades ago at a street stall with a package of cigarettes from Beidacang. At first I thought it was a painting. I found a treasure, and later I asked someone to appraise it. They said that this painting only has materials and some characteristics, and the content on the painting is worthless. You can choose this painting of flowers and birds. It is the handwriting of Chen Shizeng, a famous modern master. A little bit of collection value!"

Mu Zhengyang shook his head, put away the yellowed 'Mountains and Rivers Picture' on the table, and said with a smile: "Old man, you just said that I can choose it at will, and I like this picture. You can't go back on it!"

Monk Yuantong saw it clearly. Since ancient times, calligraphy and painting have not been separated. Those who can write the words "Bamboo and Stone" and "Drinking Wine" that I saw yesterday must have a certain level of appreciation of Chinese paintings. Naturally, I can see the value of Chen Shizeng's painting of flowers and birds. Chen Shizeng's name is enough to make people's hearts move, but this Mr. Mu chose an ordinary old picture scroll, not only to show that he accepted Mr. Zhao's gratitude, but also did not win people's love. He acted in a very elegant manner. Nodded slightly.

Zhao Yushi was at a loss for words for a moment, but he couldn't find a way to refute Mu Zhengyang's words, and said, "Mr. Mu, this..."

Monk Yuantong smiled and said, "Old Zhao, half of the purpose of your trip has been fulfilled, but I still want to ask Layman Mu for alms!"

Zhao Yushi also figured out the context, and respected Mu Zhengyang in his heart, but he said everything, and now it was too late to repent, and he did not continue to be obsessed with Xie En, and introduced to Mu Zhengyang with a smile: "This A great monk named Yuantong is the abbot of Jinyu Lake Gate Temple in Tieshan, our county town! He is also proficient in calligraphy, and he claims to be the number one running script in Ze’an City!"

"Yuantong?" Mu Zhengyang heard the words, thinking in his heart that this monk Yuantong might have a brother or a brother called 'Shentong', 'Zhongtong' or something, who are all in the express delivery industry, and looked at the monk Yuantong with interest. Said: "This master, if you want to ask for alms, you must have gone to the wrong place. My place is an academy."

Monk Yuantong laughed and said: "There are tens of thousands of roads, and calligraphy is the first. The poor monk saw Layman Mu's calligraphy yesterday, and today he came here to take a look. The air is filled with the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus wine. drink!"

Mu Zhengyang said as if you were late: "The two words you saw yesterday were originally thrown away in the wastebasket by me. I didn't have a primer to start the fire last night, so I took it to light the fire. Now It has been reduced to ashes!"

Zhao Yushi lost his voice and said, "Ah? Yesterday's "Bamboo and Stone" wrote the willow style to the extreme, and that "Drinking Wine" was even more impressive in Yan Zhenqing's "Nephew Sacrifice". Not to mention our Ze'an City, even if it is in the Han River The province is a rare masterpiece of calligraphy, so you just burned it?"

Mu Zhengyang said calmly, "Those are two immature works of mine. If you burn them, just burn them. There is no pity!"

Zhao Yushi's face turned red with anxiety, and he regretted endlessly, as if he had lost two treasures, and said, "It's such a reckless waste, if I knew it was today's scene, I would have stolen them yesterday even if I stole them!"

Monk Yuantong seemed to see a monster, and the calligraphy and photos could hardly reflect the charm of the authentic work, but the "Drinking" he saw yesterday had already made his eyes shine. Just such a pair of words, the young man in front of him actually used it to light a fire , and also said that it was his immature work, it was burned as soon as it was burned. Yes, when I came here, I received Mr. Mu’s Tianwai Flying Brush outside the door, it seems that Mr. Mu was practicing calligraphy just now, I wonder if I can borrow Mr. Mu’s writing just now?”

Mu Zhengyang pointed to the wastebasket and said, "I've made a little progress, but I haven't reached the point of complete comprehension. It's time to throw bricks and spark jade, let's communicate with each other!"

"Trash?"

It was the wastebasket again, Zhao Yushi squatted down immediately, picked out the song "Will Enter the Wine" written by Mu Zhengyang from the wastebasket, and spread it on the long table with great excitement.
