After a while, Zhou Yu drove the car and Xu Minghua, heading towards the home of the mount master named Qi Ze'an.

In the car, Xu Minghua also introduced some information about the mounting master to him, which made Zhou Yu full of surprise.

When Qi Ze'an was in his teens, he went to Tianjin Liulichang as an apprentice and engaged in mounting work. He studied under a famous mounting master. Due to his superb skills, he worked in some famous calligraphy and painting mounting shops after he finished his studies.

During these years, a large number of precious ancient calligraphy and painting works have been restored to the country, and a large number of technical talents have been cultivated, with profound skills and superb skills, and a high reputation in the Chinese mounting industry.

What I am best at is mounting old paintings as new. There was once a famous ancient painting of the Song Dynasty preserved in the Forbidden City. It has been framed by many famous artists for thousands of years before it has been preserved to this day. I don’t know which time the painter took the wrong paragraph during the mounting.

Because the scroll was too long, the pictures were covered with boats, markets, bridges and streets, and no one noticed that something was wrong. When Qi Ze'an reframed it, he found that a donkey was missing a leg. After careful searching, he found that the leg from another place on the painting, which restored the painting to its original appearance.

Nowadays, some famous antique shops in China, such as Rong Baozhai, will hand over some very precious ancient paintings to Ze'an to frame them, but because they have to strive for excellence, if there are no special circumstances, he will only frame two paintings a month, and anyone will have to wait in line in order.

Not only that, as Ding Daoyang told him before, taking Qi Ze's calligraphy and painting works that were installed and mounted must have a certain level. Otherwise, no matter how much money you give him, it will be useless.

An official once came from another place and wanted to install and frame the ghost painting talisman he wrote to add some glory. After reading it, Qi Zean drove it out directly. In the eyes of this mount master, such ghost painting talisman would only defile the word calligraphy.

Later, the official was so angry that he wanted to find Qi Zean's fault. Unfortunately, he just revealed some news and was called over by his superiors and scolded him. After a few days, he was directly investigated.

It can be seen from this that Qi Ze'an's background is so great that the disciples he taught most of his life are all over China, and have framed calligraphy and paintings for many celebrities, including retired leaders, and even participated in the mounting of huge paintings in the Great Hall. He was even received by the core leaders of China.

From Xu Minghua's introduction, Zhou Yu learned how powerful this mount master was. He lived in seclusion in Jingcheng, but he was not visible. He was really hidden in the city.

"Xiao Yu, although this old man Qi is very powerful, he was very excited after reading your righteous calligraphy. After reading it for a long time, he finally decided to frame your calligraphy first, which is completely free, just to meet you." After introducing Qi Zean's message, Xu Minghua said with a smile.

Anyone who has seen Zhou Yu's calligraphy can feel the great and righteousness from it. This kind of aura is definitely not something that ordinary people can write. He thinks that not many people can do it in the whole of China.

"Old Xu, it's not just that when I see me, the most important thing is that he also wants to verify it and see if this calligraphy is written by me." Zhou Yu said with a smile. Such a calligraphy that can feel the righteousness of the people will naturally verify it after seeing them.

At this time, Xu Minghua smiled, "I didn't tell Old Man Qi your age. I'm looking forward to the shock on his face then."

"Old Xu, you are simply too bad." Zhou Yu shook his head. Although he should not behave like a person, many people will think that young people are not very reliable.

"Haha, this is what you want." Xu Minghua laughed and leaned comfortably on the seat.

Then, under the guidance of Xu Minghua, Zhou Yu drove a car to an ancient building street in Jingcheng. He also came to play with it when he was in college. It was full of courtyard houses from the Ming and Qing dynasties. It was well preserved and was very representative in Jingcheng.

Therefore, in order to preserve the city's culture, this street was completely preserved without any demolition. At the same time, some reinforcement and renovation were also carried out, becoming a tourist location chosen by many people who come to Jingcheng to visit.

The mount master lived on this street, which was in line with his identity. After all, people who love ancient culture more or less like to live in villas or buildings in the West.

After parking the car in the public parking space on the street, Zhou Yu and Xu Minghua walked into one of the alleys together. This alley is not big, and it is very difficult to pass a car.

Soon, I walked to one of the courtyards, and there was a stone lion on each side, and a plaque was hung above the courtyard gate, Qi Mansion.

Xu Minghua stepped forward and knocked on the door gently. Soon, a young man opened the door. After seeing them, he said respectfully: "Old Xu, come in quickly, the master is waiting for you." However, he also looked at Zhou Yu with surprise.

"Okay, go ahead and don't follow us. I want to give your master a surprise." Looking at the young man leading the way, Xu Minghua said with a mysterious smile on his face.

The young man did not refuse and nodded, "Okay, Mr. Xu, please give me a gift, but Mr. Tang is here, and I will wait for you in the living room with my master."

"Haha, the guy surnamed Tang is still not convinced. OK, let him convince today, Xiaoyu, let's go." Xu Minghua laughed and took Zhou Yu through the yard and approached the living room.

Before I could come over, I heard some arguments, "I said Lao Qi, just let me see what happened to that calligraphy. I don't understand what kind of calligraphy it is. What kind of calligraphy is that you can put half of my calligraphy off and put it on to frame this one."

"I, Old Tang, just don't accept it. Tell me, we have been in love for many years. Every time I come out of my place, I will give it to you first. Even if it is written by everyone with the best skills, I have to queue up. I came here some time ago to ask you, but you actually turned me out and didn't let me in until today. It's so annoying. I have to read whatever I say today."

"Old Tang, why are you anxious? When the master of this calligraphy comes, you can read it with the words together. Isn't it better? I guarantee that you will be convinced." At this time, another voice came from the room.

Xu Minghua couldn't help laughing outside the door at this time, and then coughed, "Cough, Old Man Qi, we are here, who are you arguing with? Who dares to talk to you like this, it's amazing to just drive it out."

Hearing Xu Minghua's voice, an old man in a robe rushed out of the room, looking a little fat, "I said Old Man Xu, can't you hear my voice? Are you going to cause trouble? The calligraphy you brought you dare to join my team. Believe it or not, I will let your antique shop sell in the ink."

"Haha, why are you all quarrels? Old Tang, now Lao Xu is here, why are you still anxious? Calligraphy and the people who write calligraphy will let you take a good look." At this time, an old man came out of the living room with a laugh. The old man was very thin and very energetic.

His eyes looked at Xu Minghua, and he frowned and said, "Old Xu, what I promised me, you brought a disciple here. Speaking of which, why didn't I see the person who wrote calligraphy?"

"I think the calligraphy writer dare not show up, it must be because he is guilty. Look, Lao Qi, he dares to go to the lineup like this." Old Tang said with some dissatisfaction, his heart full of complaints.

At this time, Xu Minghua smiled on his face, "Hehe, sometimes people are like this. They don't believe what they see. The person you are looking for to write calligraphy is far away from the sky and close to you."

"Old Xu, don't embarrass your calligraphy skills, I know very clearly." At this time, Old Tang looked at Xu Minghua, curled his lips and said, without thinking about Zhou Yu at all.

Qi Zean looked at Zhou Yu with a calm face and showed some surprise on his face, "Old Xu, don't tell me that this young man is the one who writes calligraphy. Could it be that this is his disciple or a child?"

"Haha, you guys, how many times do you tell you, don't judge people by their appearance, solemnly introduce you to you. The young man standing next to me is the one who wrote the calligraphy of Haoran righteousness. Xiaoyu, say hello to Mr. Tang and Mr. Qi." Xu Minghua couldn't help laughing, patted Zhou Yu on the shoulder, and said to Qi Zean and the others.

Zhou Yu shook his head and smiled. Mr. Xu just likes to play. He bowed to the two old men in front of him, "Old Qi, Mr. Tang, you guys, I am Zhou Yu. That calligraphy is indeed written by me."

"This, this is simply incredible." Old Tang said in disbelief. Although he also complained that Qi Ze'an was first mounted on the calligraphy, they were friends for many years and understood Qi Ze'an's character. If he was not a special calligraphy, he would never have been in the lineup.

In this way, the calligraphy that was able to be in line before him was actually written by a young man, and he couldn't believe it.

Looking at Zhou Yu's calm expression, Qi Zean nodded slightly, "It turns out that a hero is a teenager. Let's talk about it later. Let this young friend Zhou first take a look at his framed calligraphy and satisfy Lao Tang's curiosity."

In his opinion, this young man could say calmly that he was a writer, and he must have some extraordinary things, but he did not fully believe it in his heart. Nothing is useful now, and after verification, everything will be clear.
