Chapter 78 For the Dream

The fact that Xu You picked up an elephant ear vase by mistake quickly spread in the small circle. The first person to call Xu Wei was Qu Shou. When you find something good, you must tell him in advance, otherwise he will be punished miserably by the master.

And Wang Shuai was the first one to come to Xu Wei's house, saying that he wanted to see the charm of the underglaze red double phoenix pattern elephant ear square bottle.

This time, Xu You got to know Zhang Lao's bad taste very well. In just one day, the whole magic city, and even several old friends of Zhang Lao, all knew about it.

"You don't know that. The old men didn't know what medicine they took wrong recently, and they tried to overwhelm each other with all their strength. It must have been the result of the last school exam, which made the old men feel a little embarrassed. They planned to do it elsewhere. find the place."

Li Du explained Xu Er's doubts. As one of the people who were at the bottom of the school exam last time, Li Du had a deep understanding of this.

Afterwards, a few sporadic antique enthusiasts in the circle heard that Xu You had an underglaze red double phoenix pattern elephant ear square bottle, and they also called to ask if they were willing to sell it, even if they didn't have it now. They also left their phone numbers, hoping that if Xu Er wanted to make a move, he must call himself.

The dream of the underglaze red double phoenix pattern elephant ear square bottle is a story about a mid-level official in the Ming Dynasty. Jiang Mengsheng was a scholar who studied hard for ten years and was admitted to the second-class Jinshi. His family ancestors were poor farmers for five generations. Because he is more intelligent and has a lot of strength, he earned some money for his son to study. Jiang Mengsheng was also very competitive, and was admitted to Jinshi when he was 30 years old.

This glazed red double phoenix pattern elephant ear square bottle is the most expensive gift among the first gifts Jiang Mengsheng received after he was admitted to Jinshi. It is of special significance to Jiang Mengsheng, and he is also very special I like it, put it in the study, and often play with it.

Originally Xu Er thought it was a very boring story, but then there was a big reversal in the end.

Jiang Mengsheng became obsessed with ancient books in his later years, not only the books that can be bought in the market, but also all kinds of orphans. Although many Song orphans were lost at that time, there are still many more than now.

Xu You gained a lot of insight, and even saw a set of Song block-printed copies of "Jinshilu" by Zhao Mingcheng in Song Dynasty that he found in the treasure cave before, and it was not a fragment, but the whole volume.

For this paragraph, Xu You insisted on going to bed at nine o'clock every day, and refused to share the bed with Chen Zhibei.

For this reason, Chen Zhibei slept in the guest room for five whole days, and went to the company full of resentment every day. Not only the employees in the company, but even the scientists in the biological laboratory were frightened by Chen Zhibei. Stay at least five meters away from him.

Five days later, Xu Er finally sorted out all the things he saw in the dream, and Chen Zhibei was allowed to go back to his room to sleep.

Originally, Chen Zhibei planned to punish Xu Er well, and to make up for himself casually.

But when he saw Xu You didn't have a good rest, all the anger in his heart dissipated. Instead, he made a lot of delicious food for Xu You with distress, and he cooked the braised pork for three days.

After these few days of dreaming, Xu You completely fell in love with rare ancient books, which are relatively small, but spread as a far-reaching antique collection item.

Perhaps, you can also build a library for yourself to collect block-printed books of the Song Dynasty.

Thinking about it makes me feel excited. The entire library of Song Dynasty books are all his.

So Xu You dug out all the books he had found in the Treasure Cave before, and studied them one by one.

Since we want to march towards the collection of ancient books and rare books, we must have an understanding of this category.

Xu Er felt that her eyes were so easy to use that she was not afraid even without a teacher, as she could learn from the ancients.

Xu Er told Mr. Zhang about his plan, hoping to get some suggestions from him.

Although Mr. Zhang is interested in miscellaneous items, he also has research on other collection categories. Hearing Xu You's ideal, he didn't say anything, but just collected the books about Song block editions and other books about block prints that he had collected over the years. All the materials in the collection were given to Xu Er.

Not only that, but he also lent Xu Wei the Song editions he had collected so that Xu Wei could read them firsthand, and he could ask him if he didn't understand.

People in the Song Dynasty mostly used leather or hemp paper to print books, and the art and science were firm and resilient.The layout is clear and elegant, and there are often names of engraving workers and the number of words in each edition below the heart of the edition.

The fonts used for engraved books vary from place to place.Zhejiang version mostly uses beautiful and handsome European characters; Shu version mostly uses majestic Yan characters to make up for clumsiness;The ink used for printing books is also very particular, and the color is pure and even.

Not only that, most of the engravings of the Song Dynasty were written by calligraphers at that time, which is very valuable in itself, not to mention that the Song Dynasty was the pinnacle of Chinese cultural development, and many beautiful articles and gorgeous poems are based on this produced by the times.

The Song Dynasty was dominated by scholars, and there were many kinds of works.

As early as the Ming Dynasty, there was a saying that "an inch of paper is an inch of gold" in Song block editions. It can be seen that at that time, there were not many Song block editions in existence.

The block-printed editions of the Song Dynasty, which have been passed down in an orderly manner, are covered with inscriptions from previous collectors, while the block-printed editions of the Song Dynasty without inscriptions are almost 90.00% likely to be fake.

Xu Er wanted to build his own library. In fact, the most direct way was to get back all the Song editions in Japan, but at this stage, this is just an impossible idea.

Xu Er thought about it, and suddenly remembered the picture of a lady she saw in Kyoto before. After Xu Er came back, she also checked some information, and knew that it might be the work of Uemura Matsuen, a famous modern Japanese female painter.

It's just that at that time, it belonged to a little girl. Although Xu You didn't think he was a good person, he couldn't lie to a child.

I don't know what happened to the painting now. Xu Wei remembered that the child's home was going to be demolished at that time, and I don't know if the painting still exists in the world.

Thinking of this, Xu Wei called Qu Feng, wanting him to pay attention to it. If the family wants to sell the painting, he wants to get it, as long as the price is not higher than 10 yuan. .

Xu You didn't know the current market price in Japan, and he didn't dare to spend too much money to buy this painting. Although he was still rich now, Xu You had the intention in his heart not to waste money.

As the most famous female painter in the Japanese painting circle, the works of Yamamura Pine Garden are worth 10 yuan, right?

When it comes to Song engraved editions, Mr. Chen in Kyoto is also very knowledgeable. After all, the other party is an expert in the study of gold and stone, and the two have some similarities.

If Lu Xinyuan could be regarded as an idol, no one would believe him if he said he hadn't studied the Song edition.

It's just that Mr. Chen has gone abroad again. It is said that this time is a very large academic research meeting, and he will be away for at least half a month.

However, Xu You has a few Song editions provided by Zhang Laoyou kindly, and the harvest after dreaming is also very impressive.

In particular, among these few books, there is a fragment of "New Ding San Ritu", which brought Xu Wei a very valuable wealth of knowledge.

This book talks about etiquette throughout. The "Three Rituals" contains the famous objects of the pre-Qin Dynasty in detail. If there is no picture to match it, it is extremely inconvenient to read.Song Nie Chongyi's "Xinding Three Rituals" in [-] volumes is the earliest and most complete work on the "Three Rituals" based on pictures, and it is also a comprehensive study of the "Three Rituals" in the form of pictures and texts since the Han and Tang Dynasties. do.

Sanli is the collective name of the three books "Zhou Li", "Yi Li" and "Book of Rites".

If you want to study ancient ritual vessels, decorations, and activities, if you don't have a certain amount of research on the "New Ding Three Rituals", it will be very difficult, and you will even fall into misunderstandings.

Whenever holding the "New Three Ceremonies" like a dream, Xu You would dream of some etiquette courses, as well as some research and discussion on "rituals", which benefited Xu Wei a lot.

The leisurely and fulfilling life passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, something happened to Xu Wei again.

On this day, Chen Zhibei went to the company, and only Xu Wei stayed at home alone, walking the dog, reading, practicing calligraphy and organizing notes.

Just this afternoon, the phone rang suddenly. When Xu Wei picked up the phone, it turned out to be Tang Qingyan's call.

After more than two months, Tang Qingyan called again, which made Xu You feel a little uneasy. After all, Tang Qingyan made a call before, allowing Xu You to see his mother, and at the same time completely gave up on mother and child. The affection between.

Thankfully, this time it has nothing to do with Gu Pan.

The reason is that Tang Qingyan took a few pieces of calligraphy from Xu Wei, and was taken by a Frenchman who loves Chinese culture, and wanted to buy a designated calligraphy work from Xu Wei, so that he could hang it at home for appreciation.

Xu You really never thought that one day his handwriting could be sold for money, and the other party was a foreigner, it was really amazing.

"This Mr. Xia Erxun is an out-and-out Huaxia Tong. He really likes your handwriting, so he wants to buy a picture. And he wants you to write a picture of "Shui Tiao Ge Tou Mingyue When is the moon?" Yes", this is his favorite Chinese poem."

Tang Qingyan saw that Xu You was a little reluctant, so he quickly explained, "Cousin, just take it as a favor for my brother. This Xia Erxun is my big customer. Our company's future development in Europe will depend on it. It depends on this time. As long as you do this favor for brother, when you come to Kyoto in the future, the third brother will cover all the expenses."

"My handwriting is very ordinary, third brother, okay?"

Xu Er was a little unconfident. Before that, relatives and friends would ask him for calligraphy. Xu Er always thought it was to encourage him to learn calligraphy.

"People like it when they see it. Cousin, you just do me a favor and just write a picture."

Xu You was tortured by Tang Qingyan, so he had no choice but to agree, and set a time, and someone would come to fetch it when the time came.

Xu You's writing always depends on his mood. Sometimes when he is in a particularly good mood, or when he is in a particularly bad mood, the things he writes will be more charming than usual.

Therefore, Xu Wei spent several days in contemplation, and finally wrote a relatively good "When will the water tune be as big as the bright moon" come out.

When it was the time agreed with Tang Qingyan, around ten o'clock in the morning, someone really came to Xu You's house and knocked on the door.

Seeing the door, Xu Wei was stunned.

Standing outside the door was a very beautiful French woman, wearing very fashionable but intellectually beautiful clothes, and they looked very temperamental.

But this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the appearance of the other party, which is [-]% of the imagination of the little girl in girlhood that Xu Wei saw in the music box.

"Misha?"
