afternoon tea of ​​love

"This is 1 yuan in cash. You take Yang Buhui...Yang Hui today! Go to the general supermarket in Wulihe to buy some things, mainly for the kitchen and bathroom. You don't need to buy too good ones. Let's just live in a few You don’t need it for a month, and don’t buy too bad ones. If they are uncomfortable and not worth it, don’t buy too many clothes. The clothes in the supermarket are fine for daily wear, but you have to buy a good set to go out that day. I can't save a lot of money." Yang Xiao said while putting on his coat.

"By the way, the yard still needs to be cleaned, and I need to buy something to clean the yard. There is no need for a lawn mower, just rent one." Yang Xiao was still worried after he finished speaking, and wanted to say something after a pause, but Yang Buhui was used to it , Nodding immediately to show that I have written it all down.

"Zhang Ying told you to go to the big health care or to eat, drink, whore and gamble?" Ji Xiaofu complained.

"He told me to mess things up!" Yang Xiao shrugged, "Let me go to his antique shop for a day, maybe there is something wrong, or he wants to drag me in."

"Hmph, if he's a good friend, he should give you all the ten-year rent instead of lending you a few dollars. The ten-year rent can be anywhere from a hundred thousand."

"Don't say that. If he reported missing at that time, the house would be confiscated. Besides, the landlord is also worried. I still need to ask him for help. Don't ruin the future for this small profit." Zhang Ying's car.

Like a virtuous hostess, Ji Xiaofu stood at the door and watched the car drive out of the community before slowly turning back.He met Yang Buhui's surprised little eyes head on.Ji Xiaofu was still talking to her daughter: "When did I end up asking Yang Xiao for money? I've fallen~" Yang Buhui was concerned about another matter, "Mom, what is a supermarket!"

With a slap, Ji Xiaofu patted Yang Buhui's shoulder, and laughed, "Let's go! Sweetheart Pistachio, your sister will take you to shop!"

Yang Xiao took the drink from Zhang Ying, unscrewed it and took a sip, feeling the strange taste and frowned. "What's the name of your antique shop?"

"Golden Jade Pavilion!"

Yang Xiao stopped breathing for three seconds, and finally coughed out. "I don't want others to know that we know each other!"

"What's that called? Hegel? Oh, by the way, don't you worship Nietzsche? It's called Sun Pavilion?"

Yang Xiao shook his hand, "Whatever you want, you're the one selling things, not me."

"Tsk, don't look at my shop, it's because the client thinks I'm an old man, an outsider, pretending to be elegant, that's why I come here, anyway, I don't care what they trade, I'm just in charge of matching them, the antique world, right? Even a piece of wood in the coffin can blow out flowers for you."

"Why don't they trade directly, and insist on transferring it to you?" Yang Xiao was a little curious.

"Hey, on my client's side, who is it, who is it..." Zhang Ying pointed to her nose and made a gesture, and added; "You understand!"

"Oh, the tomb robber? Hey, is the tomb robber's note finished?"

"No, the tomb robbery was written in a novel. How can there be so many graves to dig, and I dug my own family's grave that day. Tomb robbery notes, it's not over!"

The Jinyu Pavilion is worthy of its name, and it is beyond gold and jade.Yang Xiao looked at the brand-new hallway. The tung oil was so smooth that it was done hastily yesterday. The door was decorated with studs, but the door was too small and it felt more like the effect of borrowing arrows from a straw boat. At present, there is a large floor-standing fish tank, and three or four koi are thrown into it, with fat, fast-swimming bodies.The decoration inside makes people feel like they have strayed into a film and television city. There are famous paintings from various dynasties hanging on the wall. Below is a pile of imitation Ming Dynasty furniture.

Seeing Yang Xiao frowning and wanting to say something, Zhang Ying smiled and pushed him to the innermost small living room. This small living room is decorated in a Nordic cold style that is popular at the moment, and several people were already sitting and drinking tea.Seeing Zhang Ying coming, everyone stood up to say hello, Zhang Ying pushed Yang Xiao forward, and said with a smile, "This is my childhood friend! I just came back from Shennongjia, I'm fine, I just brought him here to learn more. You guys talk. "

The man went to bring the tea for the two of them, Yang Xiao didn't care about the surprised eyes of those middle-aged people, their attention circled on Yang Xiao's long hair for a while, and they continued to whisper.

The color of the tea soup was dark green, and there was a small thick bowl. Yang Xiao raised the bowl and took a sip without any surprise. I have to say that this tea cooker is too poor in skill, and it is estimated that he will be fined for three months if he puts it on the top of the light. tea……

"What's your name?" One of the men came over to talk.

"Yang Tiantong."

"Oh, Mr. Yang, what do you think of this tea...?" The other party seemed to care more about tea, as if he was selling tea.

"The tea is okay. It's the tea from the early Qing Dynasty. That is, the tea cakes should not be roasted thoroughly. The sieve is too thick when sifting the tea. The finer the tea, the better. The most important thing is that the tea soup is overcooked and old!" Yang Xiao picked out a teacup in the shape of a rabbit haircup from the table, gently placed it on it, and poured the tea from the white glazed bowl into it, frothing a little at the same time.

After commenting, I felt that the room was suddenly much quieter, and I looked up to see that the few people surrounded me.

The previous man smiled and pulled his business card from his inner pocket, "I'm from Jinling University, and I'm a teacher. This is my business card, Zhang Shuxian." Yang Xiao nodded, but didn't take the business card. The other party paused and put the business card on the table. Pushed up.

The four of them gathered around, talking about anecdotes about romance, and talking about this year's fortune, all of which were lukewarm and trivial, so Yang Xiao didn't say much, and interrupted by chance to ask, A university professor and a museum middle-level, always self-proclaimed elegant scholars what to do in this third-rate shop.Yang Xiao was used to not asking, anyway, he couldn't find anything.

After a while, the tea was finished and Xiang ordered a plate, Yang Xiao became impatient.

Zhang Ying hurried in from the outside and said, "Mr. Gao is here." A blond foreigner came in, and he should be familiar with several people. After greeting them one by one, he looked at Yang Xiao, "This? ,Excuse me?"

Yang Xiao was amazed at the other party's fluent Chinese, and didn't know how to greet him. Zhang Ying said, "This is my consultant! I haven't had time to come to the store so far. This year I have some free time, so I came here."

It seemed that Mr. Gao still knew about Zhang Ying's advisor, so he nodded, stretched out his hand and shook it as a greeting.

The clerk got the order and closed the shutters of the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the light in the room suddenly became much softer. Zhang Ying unfolded the painting scroll that had been placed on the big case, and everyone surrounded it.

"The "Traveling in Gushan" and "Shuangrui Xiansui" were Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite paintings during his lifetime. What I see now is "Traveling in Gushan". The whole volume is 2.1 meters long and 0.7 meters wide. It is printed on silk The picture, the technical analysis also confirms that Carbon [-] shows that the painting was completed at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, this picture..." Zhang Shuxian began to introduce.

Yang Xiao's hand holding the tea bowl trembled, his eyes widened.

"Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take it to be buried with him, but gave it to the Wudang faction. It has four inscriptions and seals on it. This is the first time..." Mr. Gao had already taken off his coat, and looked at the painting with a magnifying glass, "This painting The painting adopts a rare painting method at that time, and describes the scenery of Gongger Jiubie and Gongger Peak in the Pamir Plateau today." Zhang Shuxian paused for a while, and a dark-skinned person next to him said: "So it has been I thought it was a freehand landscape, but later found that it was a true description of the natural features... It is rare in the landscape paintings of the past dynasties, at least firstly, the painter has been to the Congling area, and secondly, we know that the original intention of the landscape painting is actually the artist Send love to the mountains and rivers and express your feelings.”

"Different from the usual use of blue and other cool colors to express landscapes, this painting is characterized by warm colors, ocher, burgundy, tea yellow and other colors, expressing the mountains under the afterglow of the setting sun..." Miscellaneous Lala below Yang Xiao didn't even hear the explanation, so he just stared at the painting in a daze, smiling wryly for a while and shaking his head for a while.

"What's Mr. Yang's opinion of this painting?" Another slightly bald man with Mediterranean hair asked.

"Mr. Zhang is right, this is the painting..." Mr. Gao heard Yang Xiao say something casually, and raised his body to look at Yang Xiao.

"There is another layer under this painting, which is painted..." Yang Xiao said.

Zhang Shuxian smiled, "Mr. Yang is very knowledgeable in Chinese studies. Of course, this is a very high-level imitation, but you know that there is another layer under this painting, so you insist on it! May I ask what information you read?"

Yang Xiao walked over to look at the scroll, wanted to reach out to touch it but stopped in mid-air, the guy next to him handed over a pair of disposable gloves, Yang Xiao put it on and looked at the scroll for a while, straightened up and retreated.

"I learned about it from reading "Yuezhai Suiyu", a small volume of unofficial history that I discovered by accident. It seems that the author of this painting is unknown."

"Yuezhai Suiyu? Is there this book, and who is the author? I'll look for it?!" Mediterranean Sea asked.

Yang Xiao grumbled for a moment, and said, "It's an orphan, I encountered it by accident when I was living in seclusion in Huaxi."

"Where is Shuangrui presenting the new year's picture?" Yang Xiao still couldn't help asking.

"I can't make that picture." Mr. Jiang blurted out, but his companion pinched his arm and shut up.

Yang Xiao and Zhang Ying were sitting in the lobby of Jinyu Pavilion. Zhang Ying lit a cigarette, thought about it and then pinched it. She took a big sip from the tea bowl, looked at Yang Xiao who was in a daze, and patted each other.

"You said, the picture of Shuangrui presenting the new year, is it the peony flower ball playing with the unicorn?" Yang Xiao hesitated and asked Zhang Ying.

"It seems to be that the picture is also very special. Usually, the unicorns are drawn in a stable manner. It is rare to tease the unicorn like a lion, and the color is also special. It is drawn on a piece of red paper sprinkled with gold!" Zhang Ying Very concise explanation. "It is said that Zhu Yuanzhang hangs this painting every New Year's Eve! Don't believe it, it's true! According to experts, and it is said that this painting has a lot of Zhu Yuanzhang's handwriting, but the Jinling Museum has been keeping it and not displaying it, saying that it is afraid of fading under the light!" Seeing Yang Xiao's disdainful expression, Zhang Ying hastily reiterated.

When Yang Xiao returned home, it was just after lunch, and he found a supermarket delivery car parked at the door, Ji Xiaofu was carrying things excitedly, Yang Buhui pouted and rushed to the car Yang Xiao had no choice but to go up to help the leader move the odds and ends, otherwise he would not be able to enter the house.

Ji Xiaofu and Yang Xiao went to the kitchen to install racks with hooks and place sundries, while laughing.The laughter caused Yang Buhui to look around in the living room, wondering why his mother was so happy.

"If I had known about it, I would have drawn a few more!" Yang Xiao said that he couldn't help but laugh first.

"You did what you said!" Ji Xiaofu dug out a pot of green radish and placed it on the kitchen windowsill, still laughing.

"Painting on silk is very troublesome. You have to deal with the fabric, and it's very troublesome if you make a mistake. But there is no eraser to erase, so you can only cover it with paint." Yang Xiao explained to her.

"Actually, I've always wanted to draw the Ten Items of Freedom in Shenluo Valley. If I draw that, I'll be a real Rinpoche, hahaha." Yang Xiao stuffed the torn wrapping paper and plastic bags into the trash can, and said happily while stuffing them. .

"I'm definitely going to draw Poker Bottle, hum!" Ji Xiaofu was removing cosmetics.

The two were talking when the phone rang. Yang Xiao picked it up and Zhang Ying said with a smile, "They left, and they said that you are very magnanimous and deep. Yes, he said he wanted to communicate with you more in the future, that Jiang Yuzheng kept asking if he could borrow your copy next time, and he was willing to pay for it.”

"What orphan copy?" Ji Xiaofu asked.

"I made it up!" Yang Xiao pressed the phone and shrugged.

"You printed a business card just now, saying that you specialize in authenticating the calligraphy and paintings collected by Zhu Yuanzhang."

"Shouldn't we go to Xiaoling in the middle of the night?"

"Why? Don't you bring a Luoyang shovel?"

"What Luoyang shovel do you bring, let's go tell Zhu Yuanzhang a ghost story!" Yang Xiao said with a smile.
