Princess Rou'an met Zhao Ran in the exclusive private room of the tea house. As soon as she saw Zhao Ran, her face flushed, her hands were clasped together, and she didn't know where to put them.
"I have admired Taoism for a long time, and it is a great comfort to be able to ask for advice in person today!"
Gao Yanei helped from the side: "My princess loves the Taoist priest's poetry and calligraphy very much. There are more than ten authentic works of the Taoist priest in the house. She often ponders them carefully. Today is a great opportunity. I hope the Taoist priest will not hesitate to teach me."
A palace maid presented some calligraphy and paintings that Princess Rou'an had made in recent days. There were three calligraphy and five paintings, which were unfolded on the case. Rou An looked at Zhao Ran from the side, looking very nervous.
For experienced calligraphers, the quality of calligraphy and painting can actually be known at a glance, but Zhao Ran definitely couldn't do this. He stood in front of the calligraphy desk for a long time, pretending to be serious about tasting, but in fact he was thinking about what should be done. explain.
In three years, Princess Rou'an's calligraphy and painting skills have definitely improved, but to Zhao Ran's regret, perhaps because of her "admiration" of herself, there are heavy traces of imitation in both her calligraphy and paintings. , in other words, it is becoming more and more like a high imitation of "mountain guest", and has lost its original luxurious temperament. Over time, calligraphers and painters who have lost themselves are no longer calligraphers and painters, but calligraphers.
Of course, first of all, I have to praise him: "I didn't expect the princess to have such achievements in calligraphy and painting. It's really unexpected!" As he said this, Zhao Ran kept shaking his head to show his disbelief.
Princess Rou'an became even more nervous. Her heart was beating wildly. She covered her chest and did not dare to ask. She stared at Zhao Ran, looking forward to the next sentence.
"Pindao is not very good at painting, so I won't make any comments. But these paintings, with their fine, rounded characters and solemn penholders, are already pleasing to the eye! I have a strict cabinet minister in the Ming Dynasty. I wonder if the princess knows about it? "
Yan Song was an important minister of the Ming Dynasty. In recent years, his calligraphy has gradually become a famous calligrapher in the hinterland of the Central Plains. He is a famous calligrapher of the Ming Dynasty and is the most famous calligrapher in Xixia. For Princess Rou'an who loves calligraphy and painting very much, how is it possible? Have not heard? Princess Rou'an nodded immediately: "I have copied his handwriting, and it is indeed good."
Zhao Ran said: "Let's put it this way, the calligraphy of Yangebu is of the same size as the Princess's painting, which is worth two hundred taels in Yingtian. Pindao is willing to buy the three characters of Princess Princess for 500 taels of silver. I don't know Princess. Can I part ways with you?"
When it comes to calligraphy and painting, Xixia has always admired the Ming Dynasty. If you are a small family in the Ming Dynasty, you will be regarded as a big family in Xixia. Everyone in the Ming Dynasty can enjoy the treatment of a master in Xixia. Zhao Ran just said that Yan Song's calligraphy banners sell for 200 taels in Yingtian, but in Xingqing they start at 600 taels!
Princess Rou'an suddenly felt that she was in a dream, and said unconfidently: "This is it true or false" Then she woke up, her face flushed with excitement: "No, no, no, the Taoist priest is joking, the Taoist priest is willing to accept it. It¡¯s a great honor to be rewarded, how dare you ask for Taoist Master¡¯s money!¡±
Zhao Ranyi said sternly: "One thing belongs to another, don't mix them up. Since Pindao said he wanted to buy it today, he must really buy it!" As he spoke, he took out five silver notes from his finger and handed them to the palace maid next to him: "This It's a bank note from my bank in Rongxiang, Dufu, Sichuan. It's payable on sight. The princess can exchange it with a Ming merchant in Xingqing at will, and she won't shirk it."
Princess Rou'an was so happy that she was speechless. She just looked at Zhao Ran eagerly, her cheeks flushed.
Since it¡¯s about giving advice, it¡¯s not enough to just say nice things. You must give some tips to consolidate your status as a calligraphy master.
When it comes to concluding comments, Zhao Ran has countless private goods in his belly. No one in the world can match him. Regarding the various realms in calligraphy, there are three realms: "recognizing form, appreciating quality, and expressing feelings", and there are There are twists and turns of "looking at mountains but not mountains, looking at water but not water", as well as the doorways of "seemingly but not, getting the essence, and reborn". If you take any of them, you can make people "enlighten" and "think." Master".
But Zhao Ran still decided to plagiarize that bad saying, because after much deliberation, he still found that this way of saying seemed more upscale and high-style, so he said shamelessly: "I heard that there are three realms after getting started with calligraphy. At the beginning, Standing alone on a high building and looking out to the end of the world, this is the state of success; after that, the clothes gradually become wider and you will never regret it, and you will become haggard because of the beauty. Once you reach this state, you can become a famous family, and the princess is here now."
"Where is the third realm?" Princess Rou'an asked quickly.
"This is the direction the princess needs to work on next. When the princess suddenly looks back and that person is in the dim light, he will be among everyone." This is what Zhao Ran plagiarized to persuade Princess Rou'an to write in calligraphy and painting. The warnings on finding oneself and not getting lost were given in this way, and Princess Rou'an could accept them calmly.
After listening, Princess Rou'an looked fascinated and murmured: "The three realms of calligraphy and Taoism are really enlightening." After reading silently several times, she felt endless aftertaste, and her eyes were even more blurry, and she couldn't bear toHe immediately bowed to Zhao Ran and said, "Thank you so much for your guidance, Taoist priest. Please bow to me!"
The audience next to the audience praised, discussed, and Gao Yan instructed: "Quickly, remember these words of Zhao Daocha, this is the true way of the book theory, so you can't miss a word!"
Cheng An smiled and said, "It's been a year since the prince consort and the princess got married. Why don't you ask a mountain guest to write a message to congratulate you?"
Zhao Ran happily agreed: "I have had this intention for a long time!" Then he wrote four big words on the spot - "raise the case to raise eyebrows".
In the midst of the excitement, Cheng An announced to everyone: "It is said that Tianlongyuan has agreed, and it will be confirmed by the Third Division below. From now on, the Taoist Master will build a business store next to the Jinbo Club and bid for goods at the Jinbo Auction House. Of course, you can also Let¡¯s put calligraphy up for auction so that everyone can see Taoist Master¡¯s authentic masterpieces from time to time!¡±
As soon as the news was announced, there was a lot of excitement again. Zhao Ran smiled and said: "I heard about the name of Jinbo Auction House a long time ago. I wanted to take a look today, but I came a little late."
Cheng An said: "The auction house is now offering auctions every other day. Why don't you, Taoist Priest, come back the day after tomorrow?"
Gao Yanei, Liang Xingxia and others also invited him. Zhao Ran said: "Pindao was originally going to return after today's resignation as the ruler of the country, but the Empress Dowager sent a message saying that he wanted to see Pindao, so he stayed. But he didn't know when the Queen Mother would meet again. Summon"
Princess Rou'an pursed her lips and smiled, and Gao Yanei was happy: "Don't worry, Taoist Zhao, there will definitely be no conflict."
Zhao Ran nodded: "That's the casebut I don't know what will be auctioned in the future?"
Liang Xingxia hurriedly went out to get the order. Cheng An took it from his hand and stuffed it into Zhao Ran's hand: "Taoist Master, let's see if there is anything you like, you might as well give it a try."
Zhao Ran's heart moved, and he quietly collected the note in his palm, then opened the auction list for the next day as if nothing had happened, glanced at it, and he knew what it was, and he immediately agreed: "Then I will give it a try the next day."
That night, Cheng An arranged a banquet at the Jinbo Club to entertain his "friend" Zhao Ran. Naturally, there was no flower wine at this banquet, and the ingredients were all vegetarian. This was to take care of Mingjue and Xingzhen, who were sitting at the table.
After eating, Mingjue and Xingzhen sent Zhao Ran and Zhang Juzheng back to the official post. Zhang Juzheng followed Zhao Ran into the house to make tea with his interest unabated.
"I really didn't expect that the Taoist priest would have such a reputation in Xingqing. I really admire my subordinates! But is the value of Yan Gebu's words really so high?"
"Do you think his calligraphy is good?"
"That's good, but I'm sorry for the rashness of my words, the character of Yan Ge's department is so bad, it's really disgraceful!"
