 "Hey!"

Shen Yu just stood there and giggled, not saying a word else.

How should I put it, if a woman pleases her own appearance, a woman, or to be precise, a woman who likes you, says she won’t let you look at her when her cheeks are flying, in fact, she is asking you to continue looking! Look boldly.

If you really turn away and leave, or ramble on and on, no woman will be willing to do it! You might even ignore me for three days!

Shen Yu has known this truth for a long time, so he can cope with all changes by staying the same, smiling and pretending to be dumbfounded.

"Have you missed me these days?"

Pei Yuqin raised her head and looked directly at Shen Yu with a pair of beautiful eyes as bright as stars.

Shen Yu scratched his head, "Sister Qin, didn't we just meet yesterday? You even took my coat away."

"Humph, what a stupid head! I don't know how to say a few words that others would like to hear!"

"Hey!"

Shen Yu giggled again.

Despite the silly smile, Shen Yu felt extremely relaxed because he never felt nervous or embarrassed when he was with Pei Yuqin. Anyway, he felt particularly relaxed and comfortable.

Pei Yuqin gently withdrew her jade hand and turned around to pour a cup of hot tea for Shen Yu, "Qinan, Sister Qin wants to tell you something serious. It's like this. Mr. Qin asked me to ask you about the anonymous "Appreciation of Ancient Pictures" on the stage. Do you think it could be the original work of Wang Meng, one of the Four Yuan Dynasty Masters?"

Shen Yu took the porcelain cup and tasted it slowly, and then put the porcelain cup into Pei Yuqin's hand to warm her hands, "Sister Qin, why does Mr. Qin also think that the "Appreciation of Antiquity" is an authentic work by Wang Meng?"

Pei Yuqin was startled when he heard this, "Does anyone else think it is Wang Meng's authentic work?"

Shen Yu nodded, "Yes, Mr. Wu just asked me if that painting was the original work of Wang Meng. I personally don't think it is!"

"Isn't it really Wang Meng's original work?"

Shen Yu shook his head solemnly, "No!"

Pei Yuqin nodded, seeming to believe Shen Yu's identification results.

Seeing this, Shen Yu smiled and said, "Sister Qin, do you really believe in my appraisal results?"

Pei Yuqin naughtily pinched Shen Yu's cheek again, staring at Shen Yu with eyes like water, "Idiot, if I don't believe it, who else will you believe?" After saying that, she didn't dislike the cup Shen Yu just used, and tasted it happily. Had hot tea.

"Mr. Qin's lover is Mr. Yu. He especially likes the paintings of Wang Meng, one of the four masters of the Yuan Dynasty. However, he has not found even one authentic painting for decades. I don't know where Mr. Yu heard about Mr. Dong's place this time. Maybe I got an unknown painting by Wang Meng, so I hurried over with Mr. Qin. Mr. Qin was getting older and I was worried, so I followed him."

When Mr. Wu asked Shen Yu just now, in order not to leak the treasure, or to confirm his identification results, Shen Yu used his special ability to identify treasures and looked at the painting.

The color of Baoguang is dark cyan.

Six inches of precious light, one inch of which is a hundred years old, there is no doubt that its creation period was in the early Ming Dynasty. It is reasonable to say that it is an authentic work by Wang Meng.

But the size of the final light group is only as big as a pearl, which means it cannot be the original work of Wang Meng.

If it is an authentic work by Wang Meng, which one of the four works of the Yuan Dynasty is not worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, Baoguang should be at least the size of a walnut, or the size of a pebble.

So this point alone can rule out the possibility that it is Wang Meng's original work.

Shen Yu looked at his watch, "Would you like me to reply to Mr. Qin with some identification evidence?"

Pei Yuqin also glanced at her watch, then picked up her phone and sent a few WeChat messages before sitting back on the sofa. At the same time, she patted the seat next to her and said, "Qi Nan, come sit down and talk."

For a while, Shen Yu couldn't accept Sister Qin's enthusiasm.

Sitting next to Pei Yuqin, Shen Yu said slowly: "Wang Meng's courtesy name is Shuming, and his nickname is Huangheshan Qiao. You should know his identity and background, Sister Qin. He comes from a famous family, he is talented and intelligent, and he grew up with a golden key in his mouth." /p>

"Many people say that he only became an official in the early Ming Dynasty. In fact, this is not true. Wang Meng once served as an official when Emperor Yuan Shun was in power. He was an official responsible for verifying criminal cases. It was a high-ranking but average power. Later, For various reasons, Wang Meng gave up his career and chose to live in seclusion in the mountains.

"Later, during the Zhang Shicheng period at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Meng became an official again because of his high reputation.

Speaking of Zhang Shicheng, the most famous protagonist in Mr. Liang Yusheng's novels, Zhang Danfeng, who is also the pinnacle of martial arts, is set as a descendant of Zhang Shicheng. Of course, that is a novel and is fictional.

"Because Zhang Shicheng later lost the battle with Zhu Yuanzhang, Wang Meng did not serve as an official for a few years and lived in seclusion in the mountains again.

"The third and last time Wang Meng served as an official was after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, recruited literati from all over the world. Wang Meng was once again invited to serve because of his unparalleled reputation. This time Wang Meng was directly appointed to the high position of governor of a prefecture.

"This time is considered the most glorious and enjoyable time in Wang Meng's life. During the ten years, Wang Meng was an official. In his free time, he would appreciate calligraphy, painting and calligraphy together with his literary friends from time to time, and exchange painting experiences. It can be said that he lived a carefree life. .

"However, because of his good friendship with Prime Minister Hu Weiyong, he planted the root of the disaster. When Zhu Yuanzhang punished Hu Weiyong, all his relatives and subordinates who had relations with Hu Weiyong were implicated, and Wang Meng was one of them.

"Although he was not sentenced to death, Wang Meng died of illness in prison five years later. The ending of a great painter was very bleak.

"Back to painting, everyone knows that Wang Meng specializes in landscapes. He has the essence of the painting methods of Wang Wei, Dong Yuan, Ju Ran, Li Cheng, Guo Xi and his grandfather Zhao Mengfu. He has high cliffs and waterfalls, deep mountains and lush forests, and strange peaks and mountains. , rivers and water, villages and huts, all at your fingertips.

"Although Wang Meng specializes in landscapes, his figure painting is also very good, and he has a close relationship with Huang Gongwang. Huang Gongwang rarely gives people inscriptions. Perhaps only the masterpieces of Wang Meng are worthy of Huang Gongwang's calligraphy.< /p>

"Another point is that many of Wang Meng's handed down works are about his retreat to Linquan and his discussions with friends. I think it is for these reasons that Mr. Qin and Mr. Wu thought that the "Appraisal of Antiquity" should be Wang Meng's painting. Authentic."

Having said this, Shen Yu paused.

"Are you thirsty?" Pei Yuqin asked with a smile.

"Yes!" Shen Yu nodded slightly.

"Drink water."

Pei Yuqin handed the cup to Shen Yu again. Shen Yu took the porcelain cup and drank the tea in the cup in one sip. "But the style of this painting is far different from that of Wang Meng. Wang Meng's painting is his own style, and he creates his own water." Halo ink seals and dense and steady painting techniques.

"Whether it is the Four Schools of the Yuan Dynasty or the Sixth School of the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Meng's painting style is the most complicated among them.

"In today's terms, Wang Meng has high self-requirements and a strong craftsman spirit. Wang Meng never copes with painting. Even in the subtleties, there is no rashness in the corners. His brushwork is lush and elegant. An air of free and easy elegance, with a very personal style.

"Ni Zan, one of the four great masters of the Yuan Dynasty, once said: There is no prince like him in five hundred years who can carry a cauldron with his pen.

"Zhang Chouzan, the top collector in the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Meng, have a great reputation. There is no real scholar. They are so close and thousands of miles apart. Unless they have a generous mind and a harmonious mind and hand, they will never succeed.

"Dong Qichang even said that Wang Meng should be the first to copy the paintings of the ancients.

"Wang Meng's influence on the Ming and Qing painters is second only to Huang Gongwang. This shows how strong Wang Meng's painting skills are, but the ancient painting is far from Wang Meng's level.

"It can be said that there is a huge difference! Even compared to Wang Meng when he was young, the gap is very big, so that painting cannot be the original work of Wang Meng."

After saying that, Shen Yu looked at Pei Yuqin, but found that his sister Qin was already obsessed with it.
