Iron Bull Legend

"Well, what's going on?" Tieniu couldn't help but trembled in his heart. The drawing paper looked very old. How could it be that it didn't have any spiritual energy at all.

"Grandpa Qin, why does this painting need to be restored?" Tieniu couldn't help but ask.

"Little guy, what did you see?" Qin Zhenbang asked instead, not unhappy with Xiao Tieniu's question.

"Grandpa Qin, is this true?" Xiao Tieniu asked.

"How can you tell?" Qin Zhenbang couldn't help but be surprised. He had long felt that something was wrong with this painting. What was wrong, he had never been able to find out.

"Grandpa Qin, look at the paper of this painting. It looks very old. I always have a sense of vicissitudes of life that cannot be found in ancient paintings. Also, although the brush is smooth, it does not match the ancient artistic conception. There is no connection at all, just like it was just painted not many years ago." Tieniu expressed his feelings.

"Well, I understand what you said." After Qin Zhenbang finished speaking, he took out a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully. After a while, he straightened up and laughed.

"Grandpa Qin, what's going on?" Tieniu couldn't help but frowned and asked.

"This is an imitation made by those old naughty boys out of boredom. If you hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't have remembered it, huh? It seems you have done some research on these ancient paintings?" Qin Zhenbang asked with a smile after explaining. road.

"Grandpa Qin, my grandfathers taught me a little bit when they were fine, and I know a little bit about it. However, their expertise is not in this area, and I only know a little bit about it." Tieniu said truthfully.

"Okay, just understanding this is already very good, very good. I don't necessarily have to teach you too much. I focus on restoration. I won't talk about other things. Read more of these books. I will find a good one for you in the future. Master." Qin Zhenbang sighed as he thought of his younger brother Qin Zhenxing and lost such a good seedling.

"Okay, grandpa, I will read these books as soon as possible. If I don't understand something, I will ask you for advice." Xiao Tieniu's serious expression made Qin Zhenbang like it even more.

"Tieniu, please come here during this period. I will try to pass on some of my basic repair knowledge to you within half a year," Qin Zhenbang said with a smile.

"Grandpa Qin, maybe the time is inconvenient. I bought a shop in Liulichang. It will open on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. I have to be in the shop every day. After this place is stable, I have to go to the Shanghai market. I can't be here with you all the time. ." Tieniu could only tell his arrangement helplessly.

"What? How old are you, how can you open an antique shop?" Qin Zhenbang asked in surprise.

"Yes, Grandpa Qin, the store has been renovated. If it weren't for the Chinese New Year, it would have been opened. I was bored at home today and came here unknowingly." Tieniu elaborated.

"Okay, come over when you have time. When will it open? I'll go over and have a look." Qin Zhenbang's eyes were obviously gloomy, but he recovered quickly.

"Grandpa Qin, we will open on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year." Tieniu said again.

"Yes, Grandpa, Brother Tieniu has said that we will open on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year." Xiao Dudu said with a smile.

"Hey, I heard that your brother Tieniu couldn't concentrate on learning to repair, and I felt a little confused." Qin Zhenbang said to Xiaodudu, but he was actually telling Tieniu that you are still young and should study.

"Grandpa Qin, I understand your mentality. The main reason is that I can't help myself now. There are too many things and I have to rush forward. By the way, Grandpa Qin, you haven't answered me yet, what about the imitation thing?" Tie Niu marked. After apologizing, I started asking about the imitation.

"These are the blessings of our China. Some contemporary masters have nothing to do and copy the works of ancient masters. That's why we have what you see today. This painting is a copy of Daqian layman, and there are many more. Such as Huang Binhong, Qi Baishi, Wu Changshuo, Lin Sanzhi, Sha Menghai, Yu Youren, Xu Beihong, Fu Baoshi, Pan Tianshou, Lin Fengmian, Pan Yuliang... There are really too many." Qin Zhenbang introduced everyone one by one like a treasure trove. .

In Tieniu's heart, these are things he has never been exposed to, or has been introduced to in books, only articles, and has not introduced the past experiences of these people in detail. It seems that he really has to settle down and work hard to make up for himself. Lack of knowledge.

"Grandpa Qin, I will arrange my time and ask you for advice often, haha, as long as you don't annoy me." Xiao Tieniu made a little joke, mainly because he knew that Mr. Qin Zhenbang really liked him, so he dared to be presumptuous .

"Okay, I sometimes go to class during the day and stay at home at night. However, during the Chinese New Year period, you can come over. I will push away some trivial matters. If you come, I will tell you more." Qin Zhenbang smiled. Said, he was still very satisfied with the learning attitude of the little guy in front of him.

"Well, Grandpa Qin." Xiao Tieniu replied crisply.

"Come over and eat." Guo Haifang shouted outside the door.

"Mom, we are here." As soon as Little Dudu heard about eating, he immediately flew out like a bird, showing his true nature as a foodie.

"Haha...haha..." Qin Zhenbang laughed, took Xiao Tieniu's hand, and walked to the restaurant together. Seeing four dishes and one soup, he immediately became more energetic.

"Grandpa Qin, sit down." Tieniu pulled out a chair for Qin Zhenbang and helped Guo Haifang with the rice.

"Oh, what a good boy, he was delayed by that ungrateful bastard." Qin Zhenbang cursed unconsciously.

"Grandpa, are you scolding my grandpa?" Little Dudu asked with a smile on his face.

"Haha, hurry up and eat." Qin Zhenbang scratched his little nose and laughed.

The four of them had a wonderful meal, mainly because of the pistachio Xiaodudu, which made everyone spend the whole meal in a happy mood.

When Xiao Tieniu left, he brought ten books with him. They were all about basic repair knowledge. Qin Zhenbang recommended them because he didn't want such a good seedling to go astray.

Tieniu and Guo Haifang Dudu separated at the intersection. Tieniu was in a much better mood. The help Qin Zhenbang gave him was exactly what he lacked at the moment. Tieniu went to the library again and borrowed a modern history book. He wanted to understand , Regarding the anecdotes of literati in modern times, he knew that aura could not represent all excellent objects. Only by using knowledge can he become wiser.

When we got home, everyone had finished eating. When he saw him coming back, Miaomiao immediately caught up and asked about his welfare. She was afraid that her little nephew was hungry or frostbitten, which made everyone burst into laughter.

"Miaomiao, you don't know, this little guy is thoughtful and popular. Even if he doesn't have a penny in his pocket, he can still have enough to eat. Do you know why?" the old man laughed. asked.

"Uncle Hanako, tell me what else I don't know?" When Miao Miao heard about the little nephew again, Aiwujiwu's expression was different from words.

"He has a good mouth, he's so sweet. If you don't believe me, ask him if he came back after he was full?" the old man looked at Little Tieniu and said.

"Well, when I came back from eating, I saw Sister Dudu eating at Grandpa Qin Zhenbang's house. Grandpa Qin Zhenbang wanted to teach me how to restore antiques. He also said that he would go there when Zangtianxia opened." Tieniu explained with a smile. The reason why I came back late tonight.

"Haha... Hahaha, let me just say, this little guy has a good life. He even rushed up to the big bull. What a blessing. Miao Miao girl, are you still worried about the little guy this time? ?" Laohuazi began to tease Miaomiao.

"Uncle Hanako, it's because I'm not familiar with Tieniu. Geez, it seems I have to learn to adapt." Miao Miao began to laugh at herself as she spoke. "

"Okay, let's chat. I'm going to read a book, and I have to pick up grandpa tomorrow." After finishing speaking, Tieniu fled back to the room.

"Jinlan, you should learn from your sister Jinzhu. At least she knows how to study. You can't just play all day long. Look at Little Tieniu, ah..." Old Chen sat there and looked at little Jinlan's carefree look. Criticism began.

"Haha, there are a few iron bulls in this world. He is proficient in nearly ten foreign languages ​​at the age of seven or eight. He has read all the books in the library, and, remember, he knows them by heart. With my brain, at a glance Those Latin letters are stupid, don’t talk about me, Grandpa Chen, do you know a foreign language? And, Comrade Qingfeng, what do you know? Come and make it rain for everyone, just for fun." Xiao Jinlan laughed at herself first , then changed the subject and directly put Chen Laodao master and disciple out of the fire.

"Humph, it's hopeless, it's hopeless, go to sleep." Chen Laodao felt bored and stood up to leave.

"Grandpa Chen has said since ancient times: Live and learn until you are old. How can you slack off in the great scenery? It is better to read the scriptures." Xiao Jinlan added like a madman.

"Humph, it's hopeless, you're hopeless." Old Chen rushed out of the door, and the audience burst into laughter.

"By the way, I forgot to tell Tieniu that Director Zhang from the street will bring someone here tomorrow." Miao Miao suddenly remembered that Director Zhang introduced the apprentices and ran out.

The Jin sisters also followed, and the whole family laughed again.

"Tieniu, I forgot to tell you that Director Zhang has spoken to us about our hidden apprentices. She will bring them here tomorrow. You can watch the selection. She said they are all educated youths who have gone to school in the past. Now they are in... Unemployed, you can decide whoever you want tomorrow, no, he's looking for you." Miaomiao ran into the house and said.

"Well, aunt, is this happening in the morning or afternoon? It won't delay picking up grandpa and grandma, right?" Tieniu asked.

"No, he will bring someone here early tomorrow morning." Miao Miao said.

"That's good, I miss them all, haha." Tieniu smiled, looking a little silly.

"We have arranged a car over there. You can just pick her up at your door. I almost forgot to tell you." Miaomiao patted her forehead. What was wrong with her? She was always neglected recently.

"Auntie, are you getting old?" Jin Lan held Miaomiao's arm and looked at Miaomiao with a smile.

"Oh, rotten wood cannot be carved. It's time for you to go to school." Miao Miao sighed as if she hated iron, and touched little Jinlan's forehead with her fingers.

"Oh, I'm going to bed." Jin Lan didn't dare to talk back to Aunt Miaomiao, but he knew Aunt Miaomiao's devilish nature.

The two little girls spread out the quilt, took off their clothes and lay on the quilt to chat. Miaomiao looked at the three little guys, couldn't help but smile, and turned around to go back to the room.

Tieniu had been reading and read the ten books twice. When the sky became brighter, he stood up and stretched. After another sleepless night, he didn't feel tired at all. After running water and washing up, Tieniu rushed to the kitchen to help.

After cooking, Mrs. Jin's loud voice rang out, and everyone got up to eat. Tieniu felt like something was missing. After sitting there and looking at it for a long time, he suddenly realized that Little Fatty Tang was not sitting on his table. Position, I couldn't help but slap my forehead, that kid went back to his hometown.

"What's wrong, Tieniu?" Miao Miao asked with concern when she saw the little guy slapping his forehead, thinking he was sick.

"Nothing, it just feels like something is missing, and I remembered that Tang Kai returned to his hometown, haha." Tieniu's words resonated.

"Yes, when the little fat guy was here, I felt that he was quite annoying. He could eat and speak well, but it really felt inappropriate when he was not here. Alas, I don't know when he will come back." The old man said with a smile.
