Siheyuan: I am Du Shouyi

Chapter 127 Bad Words
July was a good month. In the first week of July, Du Shouyi encountered an unexpected good thing.He received eleven paintings by Qi Baishi at an average price of 22 yuan per square foot.

The old man Baishi became popular in the painting circle in the 40s and [-]s, but the prices of his paintings have not been high for decades. In fact, this is the old man himself.

At that time, the mainstream of the painting circle was "literati painting", but the old man Baishi didn't think it was the mainstream.But behind him there is still a big family to support, what if the price is too high and no one will buy it?
The old man Baishi sold his paintings at half the price of literati paintings. The grievances and helplessness in the process cannot be detailed one by one.

Throughout the 60s and 15s, the public price of Baishi's works was 50 yuan per square foot.This was the result of the old man being unable to resist the students' entreaties and raising the price once.This price has remained unchanged for more than 20 years since the early [-]s.

Looking back at this price in terms of artistic attainments and status in the painting world, it is almost the same as the price of cabbage.

Paintings are not expensive, but there is no shortage of knowledgeable people.There was an old man who liked old man Baishi's paintings very much.After he passed away, his descendants made rumors that they wanted to pack up and dispose of his belongings.Of course, besides the old man Baishi, there are some other well-known calligraphers and painters.

After Du Shouyi received Li Jixiang's report, he immediately made a decision. As long as the other party dared to sell him, he would dare to buy, as much as he wanted!

He borrowed some from Gong Xiaobei, plus the cash he had on hand, and sent it to Li Jixiang overnight.

He also left two gold bars at Li Jixiang's house in case of emergencies.There is only one purpose, to take down the batch of calligraphy and paintings with all my strength.

In the end, Li Jixiang succeeded in bidding. The total amount of the transaction was close to 4000 yuan, which drained 90.00% of Du Shouyi's cash at once, and owed Gong Xiaobei several hundred yuan.

On Friday night, after Du Shouyi read the calligraphy and paintings one by one, he excitedly opened a bottle of champagne.

He has a special affection for pen and ink.Porcelain, jade, gold and emerald are of little significance to him, but he can't hold it when he smells the fragrance of ink. Painting is second, and calligraphy is the first.

"Is this Qi Baishi's painting?" Gong Xiaobei asked from the side.

"Hmm. How do you feel?"

Gong Xiaobei looked at it for a long time, but she couldn't explain it, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Du Shouyi didn't care about this. The meaning of some people's existence is not what they can do, but whether they are 'present'.As long as they are there, everything in the world makes sense.

Moreover, Mr. Shiraishi's artistic style is simple and childlike, with a rustic flavor, which is indeed difficult for ordinary people to understand at once.But the more you look at it, the more flavorful it becomes, and the more you look at it, the more interesting it becomes.

I haven't touched the brush for a few days, but I can't get it right when I come up. The one who praises the old man Baishi to the sky must be aiming at the high price.Qi Baishi cannot be said to be good without a solid foundation in calligraphy and painting.

There is no distinction between calligraphy and painting. The density of shades and contrasts of color blocks in these paintings are also very inspiring to Du Shouyi.He practiced calligraphy all night, and he felt that his calligraphy level had improved a little bit.

July [-]th, Saturday morning.

"Ding, the host reward for signing in today is RMB 2000."

'Replenish the blue. " Du Shouyi sighed.

This tossing really emptied his bullets, but luckily the system rewarded him in time.He did the math, prepared a cash reserve for Li Jixiang, paid back Gong Xiaobei's money, he still had a few hundred dollars left in his wallet, and this was back to the state before he bought the painting.

Du Shouyi was no longer the one who dared to flirt with girls with a single digit in his pocket when he first traveled through time.The stall got bigger and bigger, and he didn't have a few hundred yuan in his pocket, so he was really a little uncertain.

In fact, a few hundred yuan is already quite a lot. In this day and age, the "happiness" of most ordinary people is to have a few hundred yuan by their side before they grow old.

In terms of "happiness" in the courtyard, the second uncle is the highest.He has a high status in the factory and a high salary. When he returns home, his wife takes care of him comfortably, and he has two sons to carry on the family line.Which of the courtyard houses can compare to him?But it happens that the more good the hand is, the easier it is for the person to play poorly.

The second uncle and the third uncle, one is an official fan and the other is a money fan.

It's better to be a money fan. After the third master discovered 'Yan Jiedi' who was more valuable than money, he was still willing to invest his energy in her.It's difficult to cure official fans, it's the obsession with 'getting ahead', who can control it?

Du Shouyi didn't agree with people like the second uncle.Therefore, except for the last time when he was really disgusted with beating his children, and he tried to 'scare' him once, he didn't have many active contacts with the Liu family.However, Liu Guangtian still came to see him during lunch break.As soon as they met, he said bluntly: "Brother Shouyi, you have to save me this time."

Du Shouyi didn't want to get too close to the Liu family, but they took the initiative to find him, so he had to ask, "What's wrong?"

"Su Huijuan's family doesn't allow me to have sex with her daughter. She said she wants to talk to my father. My father will kill me when he finds out. You have to save me this time."

"Su Huijuan?" Du Shouyi thought for a few seconds before remembering that he had given Liu Guangtian a 'wrong idea' before.

He has a bad impression of the Liu family, and an even worse impression of the Su family.It was Su Huijuan's mother who went to the street to report the delivery of New Year's goods before the New Year.Things like this in the alley can't be hidden at all.

Out of curiosity, he still asked, "Then did you have an affair with her?"

Liu Guangtian blushed a little in anxiety, and argued: "No, really not. We just take night classes together. I always remember your words, it's too early for us, so I didn't think about it at all."

Du Shouyi checked his words and expressions, but he didn't find that Liu Guangtian was lying.But this is a matter at the parent level, and he is really not easy to get involved.In the eyes of the second uncle, Du Shouyi was still a child.

After Liu Guangtian finished speaking, he hesitated to speak, Du Shouyi saw it in his eyes and asked, "What else is there, let's talk together quickly."

Liu Guangtian looked at his expression, and said cautiously: "There is one more thing. I heard from Su Huijuan that her mother said that the atmosphere in our hospital was not good. in and out"

Seeing that Du Shouyi's expression changed, he quickly said, "This is all nonsense from Su Huijuan's mother, don't take it to heart."

Du Shouyi never expected that there would be someone behind Nanluo planning him.And what he said was so ugly that it even involved Gong Xiaobei.Su Huijuan and Du Shougui are still in the same class!

"You didn't lie to me?"

"How dare I talk nonsense about this?! I don't even dare to borrow my courage. It was just when Su Huijuan stopped me at the entrance of the cafeteria during dinner."

Du Shouyi breathed a sigh of relief, finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and said, "I see, you can go back."

Liu Guangtian was a little worried when he saw his state, and said: "Brother Shouyi, are you okay? Otherwise, forget about my business. I will go and tell my dad tonight. Anyway, I didn't do anything. He wants to Just beat it."

"You go back first. I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. Thank you in advance for today's work."
