Kneeling in front of my wife’s tombstone and crying bitterly, I was reborn

"It turned out to be him!"

“No wonder this style looks so familiar!”

When he saw that the signature was "Meihe Sanren", Shen Qiansan's heart suddenly surged with joy and he blurted out.

In his previous life, he had collected this person's works.

He didn't expect that after his rebirth, the first painting he got would be his. Shen Qiansan's joy was obvious.

After reading the signature, Shen Qiansan turned his gaze to the inscription, which read "Empty Mountain after the Rain" and a line of poetry.

In his previous life, Shen Qiansan collected this person’s works and would observe them from time to time, and he became very familiar with his calligraphy.

After seeing the familiar running script and painting titles above, Shen Qiansan became more certain that this was undoubtedly the authentic work of Meihe Sanren.

If we only talk about Meihe Sanren, many people probably don’t know that Meihe Sanren is actually Zha Shibiao.

By the way, even if it is Cha Shibiao, I’m afraid many people still don’t know him.

The truth is that this person is one of those people who is very capable but not well-known.

He was born in the late Ming Dynasty. After he passed the examination for a scholar, the Ming Dynasty fell. Later, he gave up the imperial examination and devoted himself to landscape painting. Eventually, he became an outstanding calligrapher and painter, and was known as one of the "Four Masters of Xin'an" along with Sun Yi, Wang Zhirui, and Monk Hongren.

Now, the Forbidden City Museum has collected many of his works, such as "Autumn Forest and Distant Mountains", "Pasturing in Mountains and Streams", "Searching for Secluded Places with a Cane", "Building a House in the Empty Mountain", "Quiet Mountains during a Long Day's Journey", etc., all of which are small landscape paintings.

When collecting, some people value the author's fame and pursue the economic value of the work.

But some people prefer the work itself, like the artistic conception of the work, and don’t particularly care about its economic value.

Shen Qiansan is the latter.

It may be that he had so much wealth in his previous life that he no longer cared about the price of his collections, as long as he liked them.

Maybe this is what the legendary rich and willful person means!

Shen Qiansan liked the painting "Empty Mountain After the Rain" very much and was delighted as if he had found a treasure.

The first scroll gave him such a big surprise that Shen Qiansan couldn't help but look forward to the other two scrolls even more.

After carefully putting away "Empty Mountain After the Rain", Shen Qiansan picked up the second scroll.

The scroll is also not big, even slightly smaller than "Empty Mountain After the Rain".

Usually, in the collectors' circle, the larger the calligraphy work, the greater its value, but Shen Qiansan didn't care. He picked it up and carefully peeled off the oil paper.

It is also well preserved and a complete product.

For things like scrolls, since paper products are very fragile, the biggest fear is damage.

Seeing that this matter was fine, Shen Qiansan felt relieved again.

After unfolding it, this piece was different from the previous one. It was actually a piece of calligraphy. The handwriting was neat, clear, vigorous and fluent. It was dignified and beautiful without losing its rigorous structure and lively charm.

It was actually a work of small regular script.

"Prince Cheng!"

This time, Shen Qiansan didn't even bother to look at the signature. He blurted out the answer as soon as he saw the handwriting.

There are hundreds of calligraphers in Chinese history, and hundreds of famous ones, but the only one who could write like this is Prince Cheng Aisin-Gioro Yongyan.

Prince Cheng Yongyan had a very high level of attainment in calligraphy, especially his small regular script, which was elegant and beautiful, and appealed to both the elite and the masses.

He was the eleventh son of the Ten-Perfect Old Man. As a prince, he was known as one of the "Four Masters of the Qing Dynasty" together with Weng Fanggang, Liu Yong and Tie Bao. This shows Prince Cheng Yongyan's outstanding achievements in calligraphy art.

Even Emperor Qianlong, who was fond of ostentation, called himself the "Ten Perfect Man", was extremely satisfied with his handwriting and would write a few words on any scenic spot or precious cultural relic, had to admit that he could not compare with his son in calligraphy.

In fact, Shen Qiansan doesn't like Prince Cheng.

Because according to historical records, Prince Cheng Yongyan was a stingy and mean person. He was very strict with his family members, fawning on his superiors and arrogant to his subordinates.

Typical character issues.

But this did not prevent Shen Qiansan from liking Prince Cheng's calligraphy and collecting his works.

I have to say here that many people usually hate everything about a person because they hate that person;

There are also many people who, because they like a person, like everything about that person, which is a bit like the old saying "Love the house and love the dog".

But Shen Qiansan was against this.

A truly wise person will not extend his or her liking for a person to that person's ability, level, etc.

If that happens, you will definitely miss a lot.

Just like employing people, if you utilize their strengths then everyone can be employed; if you utilize their weaknesses then no one can be employed.

If you ask for someone's help but don't use his abilities, you may not only lose a talent, but also gain a strong rival.

Therefore, looking at people and things dialectically and objectively is the attitude that a wise person should have.

Shen Qianda was extremely happy to receive a piece of calligraphy in small regular script by Prince Cheng Yongyan. He admired it for a long time before reluctantly rolling it up and putting it away.

A total of three scrolls were obtained this time. The first two contained a small landscape painting by Cha Shibiao and a small-character calligraphy work by Prince Cheng. This shows that the identity of the person who buried these things seemed to be no simple person.

It is unlikely that ordinary people can get such a good thing.

Shen Qiansan couldn't help but look forward to the last scroll even more.

The last scroll is the shortest of the three, but the thickest.

Shen Qiansan guessed that it should be a long piece of small size.

"What could it be?"

"Whose master is this?"

With anticipation, Shen Qiansan took action again and carefully peeled off the tightly wrapped oil paper.

"what……"

When he had only peeled off half of it and revealed half of the scroll's head, Shen Qiansan cried out in surprise.

It turned out that the scroll did not contain paper, but a piece of yellow satin with a golden edge.

"Is it a silk painting?"

Shen Qiansan muttered in confusion.

The calligraphy and painting works left over from ancient times are made not only of rice paper, but also silk, brocade, etc.

Shen Qiansan was not surprised by this.

But even if it is silk, I have never seen this kind of yellow satin.

You have to know that in ancient times, the hierarchy was strict, and there were strict regulations on the use of any items, including colors.

The color yellow was almost a taboo in ancient times. Unless one was the emperor, ordinary people were not allowed to use it.

If you use it, you will be beheaded.

A solemn look appeared on Shen Qiansan's face. Could this be something from the palace?

If so, it would be of great value.

Shen Qiansan peeled off the oil paper more carefully, for fear of damaging it. At the same time, he was also more worried about whether the scroll was complete.

Even though he had collected many precious antiques in his previous life, there were not many things in the palace.

I didn't expect that after being reborn, I would have the chance to meet you. Of course, I am a little excited and looking forward to it.
