Chenguang Art, a small shop, seems to be so busy forever.

Du Chenguang was wearing work clothes and was busy on the workbench. When Xu Lili walked into the store, he didn't even look up.

Xu Lili glanced at Du Chenguang's workbench and saw that he was putting a border on a propaganda sign that had just been printed.

"Old Du!" Xu Lili walked quietly to him and suddenly shouted loudly, which immediately scared Du Chenguang.

He raised his head and looked at Xu Lili, who was standing in front of him, and a strange expression appeared on his face. He was a little panicked at first, but then he changed into a laughing expression.

"Oh, I said why are the magpies shouting outside this morning? It turns out that there are distinguished guests coming. Xu Dami came to the shop today. What's the point of doing?" Du Chenguang said with a smile, and then put down his work.

"Don't talk nonsense, where is my handwriting? I haven't come for so long, and you don't say you'll send it to me?" Xu Lili stretched out her hand and said bluntly.

"What's the word?" Du Chenguang said with a puzzled look on his face.

"Old Du, don't pretend to be confused. I've been too busy for a while and I don't care about it, but don't think I've forgotten it. The silhouette I brought over more than two months ago was written by Chu County. You said you would take it to Yanjing to frame it, but why haven't it been done yet? Even if you get it to the United States for such a long time, it should be framed!"

When Du Chenguang heard Secretary Xu talk about this, his face suddenly became bitter.

Time went back more than two months ago. When Miss Xu came here to frame her with the "Shiya Lanxiang" written by Chu Yang, she immediately shocked Du Chenguang and a group of book friends in Zhongxian! Faced with such exquisite Ou Kai's fine works, Du Chenguang did not dare to frame it lightly, for fear that he would accidentally break the work. So he discussed with Xu Lili and took the character to Yanjing for mounting.

Du Chenguang was born in the Academy of Fine Arts and studied with a very famous calligrapher in Yanjing. The latter opened a calligraphy and painting shop in Yanjing, and the craftsmanship of calligraphy and paintings was also very famous in Yanjing. Du Chenguang therefore thought of taking this character to Yanjing for mounting.

He boarded the train to Beijing the next morning. It was an ordinary smog day. Du Chenguang got off the train with the carefully installed characters, and then fell to the subway to Chaoyang District, Yanjing. The Jinshi Calligraphy and Painting Academy located opposite the street of the Central Academy of Fine Arts.

The owner of Jinshi Calligraphy and Painting Academy is surnamed Jinshi, and his name is Jinshi. He was born in a family of scholars. His parents were both university professors, and his father was a great figure in the Chinese calligraphy and painting circles. He served as vice chairman of the China Calligraphy and Calligraphy Association. He himself worked at the Central Academy of Fine Arts, teaching calligraphy and Chinese painting. In his spare time, he runs this calligraphy and painting academy. With his own fame and relationships in his professional circles, Jinshi has managed this calligraphy and painting academy very successfully. Many people of a certain level in Yanjing's calligraphy and painting circles like to come here to install calligraphy and painting and exchange works. This is also the exhibition and sale point for member calligraphy works designated by the Chinese Calligraphy Association.

Jinshi is in his early fifties this year. If it is time for an official to stand aside, but for an artist, especially those who are engaged in Chinese studies, this age is in the golden age. There is such a tradition in the Chinese studies circle in China. It is that the older people are, the more fragrant they are, the more calligraphy and painting they are. This is like this. The more national music they are, and the more antiques they are, as if the older they are, the more authoritative they are. This has almost become a "law".

When Du Chenguang came to the Jinshi Calligraphy and Painting Academy with the characters in his hand, Jinshi was painting in his own exclusive studio on the second floor, painting a freehand peony. Peony is also his favorite Chinese painting. He likes the nobleness and grandeur of the king of flowers. The peony pictures he painted were all thick ink and colorful, and he was unrestrained with his brushwork. He often painted large works of four or six feet in one stroke.

When Du Chenguang was painting, there were a few people standing next to him. It seemed that they were not young. These people were all his friends, and those who could make friends with people of such a level were not ordinary people. One of the old men with all white hair and thin face was a professor at the Central Academy of Fine Arts and the husband of Du Xingzhi, the authoritative Chinese Chinese painting of China. His Chinese paintings have been selected for the National Exhibition many times, and he was selected for the "Catalogue of Chinese Calligraphy and Painting", especially good at fine brushwork and flowers and birds. According to the market price, one of his works has reached a 20,000 yuan per square foot!

Another half-bald and fat old man is Chi Liren, the vice president of Haijin Nanda, a famous Chinese calligrapher. He is also the deputy secretary-general of the Chinese Calligraphers Association. He holds important positions in this most authoritative calligraphy institution that represents China and holds real power!

The two of them watched the paintings of gold and stone, splashing ink, and made a sound of admiration from time to time.

When Du Chenguang walked upstairs with the words in his arms, Jinshi also completed his work - a six-foot central hall, "Flowers Bloom in Richness"!

Du Chenguang is a student of Jinshi and is familiar with the clerks in this store, so he can enter this studio dedicated to Mr. Jin. If someone changes someone else, it is unlikely that he can enter when Mr. Du works.

He gently pushed open the door and saw Jinshi giving the newly completed peony picture an inscription. His inscription was very simple, but he wrote "Yi Wei Qiuyue Jinshi in Yanjing" in the blank space of the picture, and then used a seal.

Just looking at such an inscription, you will understand that this calligraphy is a work of entertainment and is not given to others. Now, with Mr. Jin's reputation in the Chinese calligraphy and painting industry, this painting will be sold for at least 100,000 yuan. Although according to the standard of smoothness given by the Calligraphers and Painters Association, it is not so high, but at his level, it cannot be completely measured by smoothness.

It was also the frequent contact between Du Chenguang and Jinshi's husband. Otherwise, at his level, it would be difficult to make friends with people like Jinshi.

"Good painting, good painting! Old Jin's freehand peony is getting more and more sophisticated. This picture is full of brushwork, and the peony is almost about to be painted. It is really a rare masterpiece!" Du Xingzhi looked at the metal and stone and used up his seal, and then exclaimed.

"The brush is grand without losing its exquisiteness, the layout is natural and there is no artificiality, especially the white space here, the exquisiteness of the bottom is deeply rooted in the beauty of implicitness, rare, rare!" Chi Liren also exclaimed loudly, his voice was thick and full of confidence.

"Teacher Jin is making a masterpiece again." Du Chenguang walked into the house with the words in his arms, smiling and exclaiming.

Jin Shi was looking at the work he had just read when he suddenly heard the sound outside the door, looked up and saw that it was Du Chenguang, and nodded at him with a smile.

"Xiao Shi is here, you haven't been here for some time." Jin Shi said with a smile.

Speaking of which, Du Chenguang is still very good at being a human being. He often comes to ask for calligraphy and paintings, or asks for gold and stone to frame some works, and of course he always takes the highest standard labor cost and moisturizer. He runs the shop himself, so he naturally can't afford such high-end things, but there are many good people among the bosses and officials he has made. He does not have to spend much effort on this, and he can also make friends with some senior officials. This is also a source of income for him to run this shop.

"It's mainly because I'm afraid of disturbing Teacher Jin." Du Chenguang said, and walked into the house with a smile, greeted the two teachers, and commented on the painting together. Of course, all the words of praise were used.

After chatting for a while, Du Chenguang turned to the topic. He put the words Xu Lili asked him to frame on Teacher Jinshi's workbench, and said with a sincere smile: "Teacher Jin, I'm going to trouble you again this time. There is a friend in the county who loves calligraphy and painting. He asked for a leader's words and wanted me to frame them, but I was afraid that my level was not good and the mounting was not good, so I came to trouble you, teacher, and I will learn from you again."

After hearing his humble words, Jin Shi waved his hands with a smile and followed a few words of modesty, but the expression on his face was very happy. Although his reputation in the calligraphy and painting world is not as great as his father, the method of mounting calligraphy and painting is a masterpiece in the capital. Of course, the charge is also very high. Ordinary mounting of calligraphy and paintings is usually only a few hundred yuan at most, but he only starts from tens of thousands of yuan.

Jinshi didn't say anything, but Chi Liren, who was beside him, had already spoken first.

"The official's word? Hehe, you an official from a small county town, write a few words, and you still have to get here for Mr. Jin to frame him? It's just a few small staff members who want to please the leader. What is Mr. Jin's identity? Framing a person with such a person will lose his identity in vain."

He said it was very rude, with a look of disdain, without any scruples about Du Chenguang's feelings.

Since ancient times, Beijing and Tianjin have been places with profound cultural heritage. Just as the people of Shanghai see the people of the whole country, people with some reputation in Beijing and Tianjin say that those cultural people who look at the local area are similar to those who look at the country bumpkins. Especially the so-called "works" of local officials, they even sneered at it, thinking that the things written by those people are not called "calligraphy" at all.

"That's right, Xiao Du is my own family, and I was familiar with him before, so it's nothing to communicate in private, but don't bring these vulgar things in the future. Now even the chief of the central government has said that some leading cadres can't even write regular script well, so they have to write running script and cursive script, and they dare to frame them and give them to others! This is obviously art. If you become a leader, you should be a leader. Why do you do in the art circle? Isn't it a waste of art?" Du Xingzhi said politely.

Du Chenguang was not angry after being criticized by two people in a row. He was originally a slight person and had heard such words more than once. He knew that these people were noble, but in the end, they would take action for money. After all, calligraphers and painters also have to make a living.

"Yes, the two teachers criticized it, I can't do anything about it. It's all my friends who spoke, hehe, let's not take the example, but for a few teachers, what I brought this time is not running script and cursive script, but regular script, Ou Kai, and authentic Ou Kai!" Du Chenguang said with a smile.

"Oh? What do you actually write Ou Kai? What kind of thing should I write? I really dare to write it!" When Du Chenguang said, Du Xingzhi smiled. He pointed to Chi Liren beside him and said, "This is the big expert of Ou Kai, a friend of Tian Yunzhang, the first person in Tianjin Ou Kai, you can open this word and let the experts take a look!"
