    "What, 800,000?" Maribo suddenly seemed a little embarrassed after hearing this. They originally agreed on 450,000, but suddenly raised 350,000. Where could he collect the money?

    Maribo is well-known in the domestic calligraphy circle, and the price of his calligraphy is not low. However, firstly, he doesn't like selling his calligraphy works. Secondly, he usually likes to collect calligraphy and paintings by famous artists, so the money he has is actually not very high.  If he were to take out millions at once, it would kill him.

    There was a young girl next to Maribo. She frowned and said, "Boss Su, didn't we agree on 450,000 yuan beforehand? How could you increase the price for no reason?"

    Boss Su spread his hands and put on a troubled expression: "This is really none of my business. Mr. Zhu is willing to spend 800,000 yuan to buy this work. I can't turn it down. And this is still a rough painting."  It¡¯s a rare masterpiece, and it¡¯s Mr. Shiraishi¡¯s work. To be honest, 800,000 yuan is not expensive.¡±

    The girl was about to say something more when Maribo waved her hand and said, "Xiaolan, stop talking. Maybe I have no chance of this work?"

    Speaking of this, Maribo let out a long sigh, his expression looking very disappointed.

    "Huh!" Ma Yulan snorted coldly and glared at Boss Su fiercely.

    At this time, Meng Zitao stepped forward and said hello: "Mr. Ma, hello."

    Maribo looked back, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, but he heard him say: "Xiao Meng, when did you come to Yingdu? But Youdao, it's better to come early than to come by chance. Can you lend me thirty-five dollars?"  In case of emergency?"

    Meng Zitao wanted to laugh when he saw Maribo's impatient look. No wonder Mr. Yang called him Lao Mahou. Seeing his anxious side, he knew why Mr. Yang gave him this nickname.

    "Mr. Ma, can you let me appreciate the work first?"

    ¡°You have to ask the boss here about this.¡±

    Boss Su smiled and said, ¡°Of course that¡¯s no problem.¡±

    After saying that, he put on his gloves and unfolded a painting and calligraphy work on the table.

    The preservation of this calligraphy work is acceptable. There are a few small moth-eaten holes on the rice paper, but they have no impact on the work.

    This work uses Zhang cursive to write the famous poem "Jijiupian" through the ages.

    "Ji Jiupian" is a calligraphy book used in ancient my country to teach children how to read, increase their knowledge, and broaden their horizons.  Written by Shi You of Huangmenling during the reign of Emperor Yuan of the Western Han Dynasty, the chapter describes various famous objects in chapters, such as surnames and names, brocade, food, clothes, subjects, utensils, insects and fish, costumes, music, palaces, plants, animals, diseases, and medicines.  , official positions, law, geography, etc., are not only designed for literacy, but also have the meaning of disseminating knowledge to meet actual needs.

    The original book may have been written in official script. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhangcao was popular, and calligraphers liked to write in cursive script. During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, Zhong Yao, Suo Jing, Mrs. Wei, and Wang Xizhi all had manuscripts, but none of them have been handed down. Only Emperor Wu of the Three Kingdoms period  Xiang's manuscripts have been handed down.  This book is divided into 32 chapters. It is said that the Huangxiang manuscript has 31 chapters and that written by Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty has 34 chapters. There are slight similarities and differences in the text in different versions.  Because of the division into chapters, some people also call it "Emergency Chapter".

    This piece of Zhangcao work is also commendable and has reached a certain level, but compared with Qi Baishi's calligraphy, it still lacks a little flavor.

    According to the rules of the antique world, Meng Zitao did not want to judge here, but he felt that Boss Su was too disgusting. This work was obviously not worth 450,000 yuan, but he actually wanted to add 350,000 yuan. This is  Use Maribo as a mallet.

    So, of course, Meng Zitao would not be polite when he spoke: "Mr. Ma, to be honest, although you are angry, I think this work is not worth not to mention 800,000 yuan, even 450,000 yuan. Since it is not destined, you don't want it."  That¡¯s okay, there¡¯s nothing to be sorry for.¡±

    Boss Su was a little annoyed after hearing this. There is a saying that destroying people's money is like killing their parents, so he spoke rudely: "You know nothing about calligraphy, but you still dare to talk nonsense! This is Mr. Shiraishi's work in his later years.  It¡¯s not an exaggeration to say that this is his pinnacle work in Zhangcao. How dare you say that because you have so much trouble with your eyes!¡±

    Maribo was also a little confused about this. He felt that this work was already pretty good. Compared with Qi Baishi's works that he had admired before, it was still comparable to Zhongbo's. Could it be that his eyesight was really bad?

    Ma Yulan was even more dissatisfied and thought to herself, who do you think you are, actually saying that there is something wrong with what my grandfather likes? If you hadn't caused trouble for this black-hearted boss, I would have to scold you.

    Meng Zitao said lightly: "Mr. Baishi said when talking about his calligraphy, 'I have to follow my own way, and I have to have my own way of writing.' So from Mr. Baishi's calligraphy, we can feel his sincerity and naturalness.  ,??Being moved by the rhythm of life force.  "

    "I admit that this calligraphy work also shows some characteristics in this regard, but it is far from enough. It is not at all the level that Mr. Shiraishi should have been in his later years. In addition, let's read the whole article again. Can't you see a few of them?  Are the characters too stiff?"

    Meng Zitao said, then pointed to the copybook and pointed out nearly a dozen words in a row. These words are fine when viewed individually, but when compared with the whole text, anyone with a certain level of calligraphy appreciation can tell that the artistic conception is somewhat inferior.

    Maribo adjusted his glasses and read these words carefully, with a wry smile on his face.

    Boss Su, on the other hand, had a dark face. However, what impressed Meng Zitao was that he immediately found a reason: "Well, I think it's normal. He should have been on the boat when he created this calligraphy work.  , the wind and waves were relatively strong at that time, and I was not able to hold the pen steadily, so I made mistakes."

    "Hahaha Xiao Su's idea is relatively new!" Maribo burst into laughter. He laughed at his own stupidity, only looking at the brush strokes of calligraphy, but ignoring the spirit of calligraphy.  He was laughing at Boss Su for being so evil. Not to mention other things, he had patronized so many of his businesses that he had made at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. Now, he was deceiving himself with a fake, and even increased the price temporarily!  It seems that my eyes really need to be treated.

    Boss Su also knew that the reason he gave was a bit nonsense, and then said: "Besides, who are you? Why do you say what you say is what it is? I think you are completely making subjective assumptions and talking nonsense!"

    "Don't you know him?" Maribo looked a little incredulous. If you are a layman, it would be fine if you don't know Meng Zitao. You, Boss Su, are a veteran player. You still don't know who Meng Zitao is?

    Boss Su was a little surprised when Maribo said this. Is Meng Zitao still a celebrity?

    Based on Boss Su's style, Meng Zitao felt that even if he remembered who he was, he might deny it in every possible way, so he laughed and said: "It doesn't matter who I am. By coincidence, I had the pleasure to appreciate Mr. Shiraishi's Zhangcao works in his later years.  , still remember some Shen Yun, how about I show it to you?"

    Boss Su was startled when he heard this and laughed: "You can write the charm of Mr. Shiraishi, are you here to be funny?"

    Meng Zitao said lightly: "Whether it is funny or not, you will know when I write it out. Even if it is embarrassing, it will be embarrassing for me."

    Seeing that Meng Zitao was so confident, Boss Su was a little confused. Could it be that Meng Zitao's calligraphy level was really very high?  But thinking about it again, he felt that his worries were unfounded. Not to mention that he had no impression of Meng Zitao, even if Meng Zitao's calligraphy level was really high, could it be as high as Qi Baishi's?  This is obviously a fantasy.

    "Well, I want to see what kind of words you can write!" Boss Su turned around and was about to get pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

    Meng Zitao stopped him directly: "Forget it, you just need to bring some special-grade Wang Liuji and other health certificates over here."

    While talking, he took out a pen, ink and inkstone from Maoli. As for the rice paper, he didn't take it with him because it couldn't be folded well.

    Boss Su is a person who knows the goods, and he can tell at a glance that Meng Zitao's pens, inks and inkstones are expensive.

    Maribo¡¯s eyes lit up even more: ¡°Xiao Meng, you should have some background in this deal.¡±

    Meng Zitao put the brush in front of Maribo: "Take a look."

    Maribo picked up the brush carefully and saw that the barrel of the brush was made of red sandalwood. The whole body was embossed with two five-clawed cloud dragons, one rising and one falling. The two dragons opened their mouths to roar, their eyelashes were clear, their beards were slightly curled, and their bodies were strong.  Powerful, the overall style is rough, vivid and expressive, according to the typical dragon pattern characteristics of the Wanli period.

    The lower end of the pen barrel is decorated with sea water and river cliff patterns, and the six-character regular script inscription "Made in the Wanli Year of the Ming Dynasty" is inscribed above. The upper and lower ends of the pen barrel have gilt copper mouths.  This brush is exquisitely carved, the pattern composition is complex but dense but not chaotic, the layers are clear, and extremely delicate. The workmanship is consistent with a similar collection in the Forbidden City. It should be a fine product of the Ming Dynasty palace.

    The body of the pen is carefully made, and the nib is also made of the best quality wolf brush.

    Maribo played with the brush and asked: "Xiao Meng, where did you get this wolf hair? It's rare to see something of this quality nowadays."

    When talking about wolf hair, some people will always curiously ask whether it is made of wolf hair. I believe many calligraphy beginners have this question.  In fact, the hair of wolves is relatively thick and cannot be used to make brushes. The "wolf" in langhao refers to the weasel, and the hair on the weasel's tail is used to make wolf hair brushes.

    Unlike goat hair, which is best made from goat hair from the south, good wolf tail is best produced in the northeast, which is called "Northern Langhao" and "Guandong Liaowei".

    Wolf brushes are stronger than sheep brushes and are suitable for writing and painting, but they are not as durable as sheep brushes and are more expensive than sheep brushes. Especially in recent years, due to the deteriorating ecological environment, the number of wild weasels has been decreasing day by day, coupled with the warming of the climate.  , the quality of the wool produced has also declined. There are very few wools with both long hair and long edges, so the real pure wolf hair pens are not much cheaper.

    Because of this, now, both in physical stores and online stores, there are all kinds of fake wolf hair pens. Some of them are mixed with real wolf hair with some nylon, which is pretty good, and some are made of dyed artificial hair or other materials.  The hair is made of pure fake wolf hair.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)?However, it is not as durable as the wool pen, and the price is also more expensive than the wool pen.
