Chapter 153
Zheng Chenggong looked very ugly, lowering his head and not daring to squeak, as if he was about to revert to his previous cowardice.
“Wen Corona you forgot, Yang’s son-in-law doesn’t know calligraphy, even though he’s a college student, what he’s learning isn’t calligraphy!”Dengzhi chuckled, seemingly persuading the fight, but her eyes were contemptuous.
“Ah!I forgot, it’s a pity that Yang Lao is such a master calligrapher, I really envy Mr. Zheng!”Zhao Wenjun sighed with a sigh.
Zheng Chenggong’s head was even lowered, as if he didn’t dare to see anyone anymore, and his wife’s eyes were filled with anger, but she was in the way of these people being her dad’s friends, so she couldn’t speak for her husband.
Haoden Ye looked on indifferently, watching Zheng Chenggong being humiliated and feeling very angry.
Unfortunately, I don’t know calligraphy and I can’t help Zheng Chenggong.
After thinking about it, Haoden Ye decided to make use of the koi, the last time he helped Avril koi spit out two bubbles, a white one and a purple one, Haoden Ye silently wished in his heart, “Let me know Song Huizong’s Skinny Golden Body!”
In an instant, knowledge about the lean golden body flooded into his mind, while he felt as if his hand strength had hit.
To write a good hand, you must have great wrist strength.
Gaining the knowledge of the lean golden body, Haoden Ye redirected his gaze to the words, and with just a glance, the inside of Haoden Ye’s eyes glowed.
Zhao Wenmuan and Deng Zhi were snickering when someone suddenly said, “This skinny gold font is indeed good, but it’s an exact imitation of Song Huizong’s brushwork, it doesn’t look like Teacher Qiu Jin’s writing, does it!”
Hearing this, everyone turned their heads, but outside the crowd, Haoden Ye smiled at them.
“Haoden Ye, don’t talk nonsense, what do you know about calligraphy!”The first time I saw the son-in-law open his mouth, a face sank down, in doing can be calligraphy, who can not see the fault, you a person who does not know calligraphy to say what?
Zhao Wenmian and Deng Zhi had sneers on their lips, especially Zhao Wenmian, but he had dragged a lot of connections to get this piece of writing from Teacher Qiu Jin, and wanted to speak, but someone else got it first.
Robert Shen was afraid that his son-in-law would be embarrassed and quickly opened his mouth to stop it, but someone wanted Haoden Ye to make a fool of himself.
Deng Lao heard, the corner of the mouth a smirk, Zhao Wenmuan mocked Zheng Chenggong, they are not good to open, or both families face disgrace, why not transfer the conflict to Haoden Ye, he is just a doctor, don’t humiliate it is nothing.
“Oh, this little brother seems to know something about calligraphy too!To be able to see something that the three of us old guys can’t even see!”Deng chuckled.
Yang Lao had a strange look on his face, he hadn’t known that Haoden Ye knew calligraphy, he said in confusion, “Why did Dr. Ye say that, I’m very familiar with Teacher Qiu Jin’s characters, and this one looks like Teacher Qiu Jin’s font!”
Zhao Wenmuan waited for Yang Lao and Teacher Deng to finish before speaking in an angry tone, “What do you mean, do you mean I lied to Yang Lao?If I don’t tell you one thing today, I’m not done with you!”
Zhao Lao saw that Zhao Wenmuan was angry, cycle brow reprimanded, “Wenmuan, this Mr. Ye is Yang Lao’s guest, don’t be rude to him!”
Zhao Wenfeng snorted and muttered in a low voice, “Who told him to frame me!”
Haoden Ye didn’t pay attention to the conversation between them, but walked directly to the painting, pointing at the strokes of the character, “Actually, the reason I say this is very simple, I’ve also seen Teacher Qiu Jin’s Skinny Gold Body, although the shape resembles the Skinny Gold Body, the strokes have his personal characteristics, for example, this hook….”The position he pointed to was the upper hook part of a nine character, and the eyes of the crowd also had a look over: “The same character, Song Huizong likes writing and ink, so it’s slightly lighter here, giving the feeling of being light as a feather, while this hook of Teacher Qiu Jin is strong and rigid!”
Everyone looked carefully at the words, especially the three old gentlemen, and sure enough, after they identified them carefully, they found that they were indeed different.
Everyone was surprised, especially Robert Shen, who hadn’t even noticed this difference that Haoden Ye had discovered, and it looked like the other three old gentlemen hadn’t noticed it either.
Since when did Haoden Ye know calligraphy?
But just by this it is hard to say that the painting is not authentic, after all, people write differently depending on the environment in which they write, and the same words will be different for the same people at different times.
“Mr. Ye’s observation is indeed subtle, but but it’s not a good enough reason to tell from this that it’s not Teacher Qiu Jin’s words!”Yang Lao knitted his eyebrows at Haoden Ye.
Haoden Ye smiled slightly and pointed at the words, “Isn’t it, just ask Mr. Qiu Jin, I believe Mr. Zhao’s crew didn’t make much clear when they wanted Mr. Qiu Jin’s words, whether it must be written by Mr. Qiu Jin himself, or whether they had to copy Song Huizong’s penmanship, Mr. Qiu Jin didn’t use the words written by himself for the crew’s needs!”
Hearing this, Zhao Wenmian couldn’t help but sneer, for this was to let him bother Teacher Qiu Jin?You’ve got to be kidding me!
“Huh?You’re obviously making a strong argument, can I still ask Mr. Qiu Jin about this?”Zhao Wenmuan snorted coldly, his tone disdainful, “I think it’s because you don’t know how to pretend to understand, just because you know a little calligraphy you’re talking nonsense here, which one here is not a calligrapher, if it’s not Qiu Jin’s genuine handwriting, you would not be able to see it?”
Everyone nodded at the news, and Robert Shen spoke sternly to Haoden Ye, “Haoden Ye, hurry out, don’t disturb the old gentlemen!”
In the face of the crowd’s suspicion, Haoden Ye didn’t panic, just smiled slightly and said, “This is simple, I can also write Song Huizong’s lean gold body, why don’t I write a character and you all judge it to see if I have the qualifications!”
Hearing his words, several people in the room couldn’t help but look amused.
What a joke, let’s not talk about Yang and Deng, let’s talk about Zhao Wenmian and Deng Zhi, which one of them is not a master calligrapher?It’s just that Robert Shen’s build on calligraphy is stronger than Haoden Ye’s, and he actually dared to banter in front of these people.
“Haoden Ye, didn’t you hear me when I told you to get out?”Robert Shen’s eyes looked at Haoden Ye sternly.
It wasn’t that he was angry, but he didn’t want Haoden Ye to show his face and be ridiculed.
“Haha!Since someone wants to banter, we’re not stopping you!”How could Zhao Wenmuan let Haoden Ye go and laughed, “Here’s a pen and paper, if you have the guts to write!”
Yang Lao saw that the situation had developed to this point, he couldn’t help but frown, Haoden Ye was his guest, if he lost face here today, he wouldn’t have any light on his face.
Of course, he didn’t believe that Haoden Ye’s calligraphy was really better than everyone here, thinking that he was a newborn calf who wasn’t afraid of tigers and thought he was great after learning calligraphy for two days.
Yang Lao was about to open his mouth to stop him, but Haoden Ye had already walked over to the desk.
Chapter 154
Haoden Ye’s hand waved, and before the people in the room could react, a word had been written.
“Mr. Ye is a student of medicine, he must not be proficient in calligraphy, the words can be written… “Yang Lao saw this, so he could only say a few nice words to hit the bottom first, to save Deng Lao and the others from mocking Haoden Ye’s words later, not wanting his eyes to just fall on that pair of words, his face wasThe brush changed.
“I’m not dreaming!”Yang blinked his eyes, and looked more closely, but he saw that An Fumu had been writing with a strong and vigorous strokes.
“The word…wonderful, wonderful!”Before Yang had a chance to speak, Deng and Zhao were already praising from the bottom of their hearts when they saw the words.
And when Zhao Wenmian and Deng Zhi saw the writing, they stared at it.
Not everyone at any level of calligraphy can appreciate everyone’s writing, but no matter what level they are at, they can’t pick out anything wrong with everyone’s writing, and that’s what makes them true masters!
Just like Zhao Wenmian and Deng Zhi, although their calligraphy level was not as good as Yang Lao and the others, but Haoden Ye’s characters also had an astonishing feeling for them.
“This doctor, he can write so well?”The expression on Zhao Wen crown’s face was wonderful, both the love of throwing this character and the incredulity that Haoden Ye could write like this.
And when Robert Shen saw his son-in-law’s words, he was also dumbfounded, he could hardly imagine that Haoden Ye could write such good words.
As for Zheng Chenggong and his wife, apart from the fact that his sister-in-law knows a little bit and thinks it’s good, Zheng Chenggong can’t see a single thing about it, except that he thinks it’s really very good in terms of the artwork.
“How about it, do you all think that I have the qualifications to tasting Mr. Qiu Jin’s character?”Seeing the surprised looks of the crowd, Haoden Ye revealed a satisfied smile, it seemed that the koi did not disappoint him.
“There!Of course there is!”Yang’s gaze lovingly left Haoden Ye’s words, turning around as he looked at Haoden Ye, his two eyes almost glowing.
In the past, he was thanking Haoden Ye for saving him, but now he had taken Haoden Ye as an idol in his heart.
“Old Yang you’re so ungrateful, you didn’t even tell us if you knew such a master calligrapher!”As soon as Yang Lao finished speaking, Deng Lao snatched a step ahead of Haoden Ye and shook his hand excitedly, “This old man of mine has eyes but doesn’t know Tai Shan, I didn’t see that little brother has such a great calligraphy, I’m really sorry, is little brother a doctor?At which hospital?Any interest in joining our Dan City Calligraphers Association?”
“Old Deng you are too stingy, a talent who can write such characters, our small temple of the Dan City Calligraphers Association can’t accommodate it!”As soon as Deng Lao finished speaking, Zhao Lao walked up to Haoden Ye and took his other hand, “Doctor Ye, I have some connections with the Imperial City Calligraphers Association, would you like to be introduced…”
Haoden Ye originally just wanted to show a couple of hands to Zheng Chenggong to earn some face, unexpectedly a shot actually excited the two old man into this, quickly waved his hand, “The two old gentlemen misunderstood, I am just a doctor, not any calligrapher, my characters also learned in passing when learning acupuncture.”
Many people think that Chinese medicine and calligraphy have nothing to do with each other, but they don’t know that most TCM practitioners can write well, not only TCM practitioners, but also swordsmen and others who can skillfully use their wrist strength.
Haoden Ye so already explained, the doubt in Robert Shen’s heart was explained.
As soon as the two old men heard that Haoden Ye refused because he wanted to be a doctor, they hurriedly shook their heads together, and Deng Lao immediately explained, “There is no conflict between entering the Calligraphers Association and being a doctor, as long as you sign up with us and then write two pairs of characters for me, usually you are still a doctor, and occasionally we will notify you of activities so that you can go to the association to instruct the calligraphy, don’t worry, it won’t delay you!Too much time for that!”
Zhao Lao also nodded, “Good, we’ll come four times a month… No, you can come if you want to, or not, as long as you promise to join the Calligraphers Association!”
Haoden Ye hesitated when he heard them say that, and Yang smiled at the situation, “Since Deng and Zhao have said that, Dr. Ye might as well join the Calligraphers Association!”
Haoden Ye had no choice but to nod, and Deng and Zhao were overjoyed.
“This… Since we’re all on our own, Mr. Ye might as well write two more pairs of characters that I’ll take to our association to learn!”Deng Lao saw Haoden Ye nodding and rubbed his hands apologetically, “But don’t worry, we’ll pay for your words… How about half a million for a word like this?”
“What!”It wasn’t just Haoden Ye who heard this, Robert Shen also stared.
Half a million for a character, I’m afraid Qiu Jin’s character is only worth this much, his son-in-law is worth this much?
He didn’t expect that Haoden Ye’s handwriting was almost indistinguishable from Song Hui Zong’s. If he used paper that was a little older, it could be passed off as Song Hui Zong’s genuine handwriting, and he couldn’t find another person in the world with such penmanship.
The latter generation copied Song Huizong’s penmanship, more or less a little bit of their own style, although like, charm is not enough, Haoden Ye’s words, whether it is the penmanship or charm, has reached the perfect realm, such words if taken out to sell, a word 500,000 is considered less.
Haoden Ye quickly shook his head at the words, “That’s not good enough!”
Deng Lao and Zhao Lao’s brows furrowed at the sound of this, although the Calligraphers Association had money, what they could control was very little, half a million a character was already the limit of what they could control, and Haoden Ye couldn’t even be satisfied?
Yang Lao saw the situation quickly write want to persuade two sentences, half a million a word has been quite a lot, after Haoden Ye’s words if famous, the price still has the space to rise, he was just about to open his mouth, listened to Haoden Ye: “is just a few words, invite you half a million is too much, if you do not mind, this word will be given to you, I thank two more!”
“Ah!”Hearing this, the three calligraphy people in the room stayed still.
For free?
Zhao Wenmuan and Deng Zhi were still uncomfortable when they saw how the three old men were in awe of Haoden Ye, and when they heard Haoden Ye’s words their eyes could not help but be in awe, and even the always noble Yang Lao could not help but give a thumbs up in his heart.
Although they literati claim to be noble and all act as if they are not eating anything, but how many of them can really do nothing about money?
Five hundred thousand billionaires might not be much, but for an ordinary person, it was a lot of money, not to mention that Haoden Ye wasn’t just writing one word!
“Mr. Yeh is so noble!”Deng Lao heartily lost Haoden Ye’s admiration.
The others couldn’t help but praise out, and Haoden Ye smiled slightly, turning his head to look at Zhao Wenmuan before saying, “I’m usually very busy too, so I might not have time to go to the Calligraphers Association, if a few of you really want to contact me, just look for Mr. Zheng, he has my mobile number there!”
Chapter 155
Hearing him say this, Deng Lao and Zhao Lao’s attitude towards Zheng Chenggong was better, and when Zhao Wenmuan heard this, as long as Haoden Ye was deliberately giving Zheng Chenggong support, his heart was uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do about it, besides, he was convinced by Haoden Ye’s words.
And when Yang’s old family heard Haoden Ye’s words, they all looked touched, especially Zheng Chenggong, knowing that Haoden Ye was helping himself, his eyes slightly red.
According to Deng Lao’s request, Haoden Ye wrote two more words, and only then did the crowd return inside the living room.
A conversation eased the atmosphere considerably, and they didn’t leave Yang’s house until the afternoon.
Deng Lao and the others were reluctant to part with Haoden Ye as they watched, and Haoden Ye repeatedly promised that they would definitely go to the Calligraphers Association sometime before they parted with Haoden Ye and the others.
Of course, Robert Shen felt very proud to see his son-in-law being so sought after by the three masters, and smiled with a red smile.
On the way home, Robert Shen’s heart was still unable to quell his joy, and couldn’t help but exclaim to Haoden Ye, “Little Ye, I originally thought this was all you would ever be in this life, but I never thought you would be a late bloomer.”
Haoden Ye quickly smiled modestly and said, “Dad, you don’t want to praise me, in praise I can be floating!”
Robert Shen’s voice was bright and cheerful as he laughed, “What’s wrong with Peoplum?Li Bai even went out on his back laughing when he was proud of himself, you’re calm enough now!”Sighing, Robert Shen said, “Dad is happy to see you become successful, I was indeed a bit harsh on you before, but I also expected too much from you, I hope you don’t blame Dad!”
Haoden Ye’s heart swelled with warmth, and he even shook his head, “How could it be, if it weren’t for you and mom, I’m afraid I’d have trouble even eating a full meal right now!”
Robert Shen smiled happily at the news, Haoden Ye knew how to be grateful and it was also an advantage, he was about to praise Haoden Ye in a couple of sentences when suddenly his phone rang.
“Dad, where are you now, come home quickly, Xiaoyu was arrested by the police, Uncle Er and the others have gone to the police station to see Xiaoyu, let me inform you!”The call came from Maya Shen, her voice full of worry.
Hearing her all also, Robert Shen and Haoden Ye were both pale, Haoden Ye did not dare to hesitate, and quickly drove to the house.
In front of the house, both Milda Hao and Maya Shen were waiting, and there was another girl besides them, really Shen Mei, the daughter of the second uncle.
At this time, Shen Mei was crying like a tearful man, looking sad.
Milda Hao and the others saw Haoden Ye coming and hurriedly pulled Shen Mei to the car, Robert Shen immediately turned his head to Shen Mei: “In the end out of Shen Mei things, what did Xiaoyu commit?”
Shen Mei at this time crying voice has been hoarse, heard even more sad crying, intermittent bar said things.
It turns out that Shen Yu’s company recently had a big client from Italy who wanted a piece of Chinese Song Dynasty Ru porcelain and offered a price of twenty million dollars.
This price should be said to be not low, the general Song Dynasty Jingdezhen porcelain is about eight or nine million, so the company sent Shen Yu on the acquisition of a number of Song Dynasty porcelain.
What people did not expect is that Shen Yu’s lust for profit, which is lucrative, let people imitate a Song Dynasty Ruzhou porcelain, he thought the Italians of Chinese porcelain research is not deep, should not be able to distinguish.
Who would have thought that this Italian, although the nationality and appearance and the general Italian is no different, but it is a solid family of antiques from the past immigrants from China.
The Italians saw that the porcelain was fake and invited the family over on the spot to look at it, and when they did, the Italians were furious and immediately called the police.
Police to sell counterfeit cultural relics charge it Shen Yu arrested, and now is the evidence is overwhelming, no accident to be sentenced, and should be no less than twenty years.
Robert Shen finished listening to Shen Mei’s narrative, and his face turned red with anger, saying, “This jerk has simply disgraced our Shen family, letting him sell relics, and he did such a thing!Who can help him this time?”
As soon as Shen Mei heard this, she cried even more sadly, and Milda Hao frowned at Robert Shen, “What’s the use of being angry with you now?Haoden is only in his twenties now, if this goes in, his whole life will be ruined, now we should choose to find a way to solve the problem!”
Robert Shen heard a gloomy grunt and sulked without uttering a word.
Haoden Ye drove the car, and when he heard Shen Mei say that the other party was from Italy, he couldn’t help but think of Marton, who had connections with the Italian embassy, and wondered if this matter could be aided by his help.
Soon, the car arrived at the police station, and the people got out of the car, but they saw that Uncle Shen’s family was all inside the police station.
Second Uncle Shen’s face was gloomy, obviously angry and not light, Shen Ling’s face was sad, is on the phone, should be trying to find a way to solve this matter, the rest of the people are either sad, or crying.
Robert Shen rushed forward as soon as he saw Shen’s second uncle, “Old Two, how is Xiaoyu doing now?”
“What else could he do if he did something like this!”As soon as Uncle Shen heard his big brother’s words, he smashed his chair hard in anger and said, “What a disgrace to our Shen family, let him die inside!”
Hearing his father’s fury, Shen Ling quickly put down the phone to persuade, “Dad, don’t be angry yet, Xiaoyu is also momentarily confused!”
Although Robert Shen was angry, he also knew that it was useless to say anything now, and turned his head to Shen Ling: “Have you thought of a way?Better get in touch with the other side, we’ll pay some money, and get them to drop the lawsuit!”
Shen Ling nodded, “We are already in contact, but the other party is very resolute and doesn’t see our family.”
Robert Shen frowned at Uncle Shen, “Can Old Two use your connections to see if he can convince that Italian friend!”
“My relationship?”Second Uncle Shen jumped up at these words and raised his hand to slap himself twice, “Do I still have the face to look for relations?Except for that sort of thing, the city council must be watching me to death!Besides, even if I could use my connections what’s the point, they’re Italian, what do you care about them?”
The family all looked desperate when they heard these words from Uncle Shen.
At this time, Haoden Ye’s voice suddenly sounded out, “Shall I try?”
Hearing his words, everyone’s eyes focused on him.
Shen Ling immediately revealed an angry look, “You?You’re useless!You can fix what my dad can’t?Get out of the way and don’t cause any trouble!”
Although Robert Shen felt that Shen Ling’s words were a bit too much, he didn’t feel that he was wrong and said to Haoden Ye in a deep voice, “Don’t add to the mess, your second uncle is a district governor, what can you do about it!”
Haoden Ye scratched his head and frowned, “I know someone from the Italian Embassy, if they’re willing to step in, maybe there’s still a chance to negotiate on this matter!”
