Fat Yao Tong looked in the direction of Fang Feiyang's finger.

I saw a calico bag lying quietly among the piles of broken porcelain on the floor, wrapping a cylindrical thing, which was particularly eye-catching.

"Boss, does this thing come from the Arhat statue?"

"It's weird, it seems so, I don't know either!" Fang Feiyang pretended to be confused.

Yao Tong had a puzzled look on his face. He stepped forward to step over the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and picked up the cylindrical cloth bag cover. He dusted off the broken pieces on it and was about to open it to take a look when he suddenly remembered something.

Yes, he quickly handed the things to Fang Feiyang.

"Boss, here you go, take it apart and take a look..."

There are rules in the industry, and there are factory mottos in the factory. There are also many rules in the antique industry. This thing was hidden in the Arhat porcelain statue and popped out from a pile of porcelain pieces. This Arhat porcelain statue now belongs to Fang Feiyang's shop.

Property, this unknown cylinder is naturally Fang Feiyang's. No one else can open it without his consent. "Hey, it's interesting... Come and see what's inside, won't you?"

There really is a baby!”

The decoration workers and designers in the room had already been attracted by this unexpected scene. At this moment, they were still busy with their work. They all opened their eyes curiously, trying to find out. One of the young decoration workers

He urged eagerly from the side, and the shopkeeper Yao Tong next to him was also full of expectations. Fang Feiyang chuckled and nodded, "Okay! Let's come over and see clearly."

The printed cloth bag cover has seriously faded, but the rope buckles at both ends are still tied tightly and tightly. Fang Feiyang used a piece of broken porcelain to carefully cut the string, loosened the port of the bag, and simply

The hand tilted and fell.

Only half of the scroll slid out.

Of course, the onlookers, including Yao Tong, did not know that this scroll was only half an ancient painting.

"It looks like a painting!..."

"Not necessarily, maybe it's a calligraphy work!"

"I think it might be a treasure map. You see it's so deeply hidden..."

The group of people from the decoration company all expressed their opinions and the discussion was very exciting.

Yao Tong also seemed more excited, breathing a little quickly, and his eyes were shining brightly, but he was also a well-informed antiques expert. At least he could calm down and wait for the final answer slowly.

Fang Feiyang, of course, had to put on a surprised expression when performing a full performance. He opened his mouth wide and spread out the half of the scroll on the counter.

"This is?..."

After the scroll was unfolded, a sense of elegance rushed towards the face. There were plum blossoms, plantains, chrysanthemums, and black bamboo. This was a sketch of flowers.

The ancients loved plums, orchids, bamboos, and chrysanthemums. These flowers are symbols of elegance and purity.

The artist uses various brush strokes such as hook, splash, and chaff to depict the desolate and sparse bamboos, the aloofness of the frost chrysanthemums, and the neat and clean charm of the winter plums.

This is a freehand ink painting of flowers. The scroll is bold and unrestrained, informal and concise. It uses mostly splash ink and little coloring. It has clear layers, virtual reality and reality. The ink is dripping and vivid, giving people a rich imagination.

"Why is there only half of it... Where did the other half go?..."

Although the onlookers may not all have the ability to appreciate the work, they can also understand that the picture is incomplete.

This sentence reminded Fang Feiyang, and he quickly looked around. A group of people rummaged around the store but did not see the other half volume of works.

This makes Fang Feiyang extremely depressed!

"What's going on? Didn't the old lady in the video stuff the two paintings into the belly of the Arhat statue at the same time?"

Fang Feiyang's mind moved, he picked up the pieces of porcelain on the ground, and returned to the image again through his touch sensing ability.

Sure enough, Fang Feiyang saw two identical gray porcelain Arhat statues in the image. It turned out that the old lady cut the scroll into two parts just to hide the works separately. Due to excitement, she did not watch the entire image carefully and did not pay attention.

this detail.

Alas! After a long day of acting, I only got half a picture.

I wonder if the porcelain Arhat statue that hides the other half of the painting is still in this world?

At this moment, Yao Tong was leaning in front of the counter with great interest, staring at the painting and studying it for a long time, "Boss, I think the freehand style in the painting seems to be the work of Xu Wenchang, the old man of Ivy..."

"Xu Wenchang, Xu Wei's paintings?"

Fang Feiyang had obviously heard of the name of Old Man Qingteng, and was stunned. If it was a work by this calligrapher and painter, it would be too precious.

"Yes, in 2000, a friend gave me a picture album, which contained a painting of "Flowers of the Four Seasons" by Old Man Ivy. The style is very close to this painting... The painting is full of vertical and horizontal spirit and bold realm. His

The painting has been called 'Abstractism in Chinese Painting' by professional connoisseurs..."

While listening to Yao Tong's simple words, Fang Feiyang quickly used the calligraphy and painting knowledge in his mind.

Indeed, Xu Wenchang was a versatile art master in the Ming Dynasty four hundred years ago. His paintings were characterized by being particularly moist and full of personal romanticism, and he was called the Oriental Van Gogh by the world.

Xu Wenchang's life was full of hardships, and he encountered ups and downs. His later years were miserable and desolate, and he was surrounded by shadows and shadows. He integrated his grief, anger and sense of underappreciated talent into his brushwork, creating one after another shocking famous ink paintings.

The ink bamboo in his paintings has light branches and thick leaves, and hasty strokes. The bamboo branches are strong and vigorous, and the bamboo leaves are drooping and affectionate. Although they are bamboo branches, they still have a noble and refreshing atmosphere. This is the reason why the painter is in the lower class, and his talent is not recognized, and his character is noble.

A brilliant portrayal of a peerless independent personality.

His splash-ink peonies are not limited to the rich and elegant characteristics of peonies and are gorgeous in color. However, he often paints them with ink and wash, deliberately changing their nature. The purpose is to give peonies an elegant and refined style and charm. As the saying goes, "National colors have never been decorated.

Empty rouge kitsch.”

"Hey, hey, I'm talking to you two bosses. You two have been discussing for a long time. Is this thing a treasure? How much is it worth?"

One of the decoration workers couldn't hold back his words and couldn't help but interjected and asked.

"Yeah, tell us..."

After hearing this, Yao Tong thought about it carefully and said, "I won't say this nonsense. At that time in 2000, I remember that a volume of Xu Wei's "Ink Flowers" was sold at Christie's Hong Kong for HK$300.

, now nearly ten years have passed, and the flower work has at least doubled or tripled in size."

The decoration worker swallowed hard, his eyes widened, and said: "It's tripled... it's nearly ten million... My dear, it's so valuable!!..."

Fang Feiyang heard Lao Yao's valuation and nodded involuntarily. If this flower work was confirmed to be the original work of Ivy Old Man Xu Wenchang, then the market price would be higher than Lao Yao's valuation.

It's a pity that there is only half a volume of works here. Judging from the collection value of calligraphy and painting, it is greatly discounted.

At the same time, Fang Feiyang did not want to be too pushy. If the discovery of famous calligraphy paintings in the Arhat statue spread, it would not necessarily be a good thing.

At this time, Fang Feiyang sighed and said in a low-key voice: "I still don't know if this half of the painting was made by the old man Qingteng. Only after a professional appraisal can I make a final conclusion... The most regrettable thing is that this thing is just

This incomplete painting is probably worth less than 40%..."

Those few decoration workers don't care whether the pictures are incomplete or not. In their eyes, even if the value is only 10%, it still costs one million, which is an astronomical figure to them.
Chapter completed!
