"That's right, it's this painting." Old Wei replied with some satisfaction.
Zhang Zongbao glanced at the ancient paintings on the square table, his thick eyebrows furrowed, and he couldn't help but said: "Old Wei, you and I have known each other for decades, and you even know why I bought this Xuan furnace. For what reason, why do you have to go against me in everything?"
However, Old Wei ignored him at all, and Zhang Zongbao gasped in anger.
Perhaps because he was afraid that Shen Yu would not pay attention to his painting, Old Wei solemnly explained to Shen Yu: "I spent a lot of money to get this painting from an old collector. It is an absolute authentic work by a famous artist. , Xiao Shen, you are proficient in calligraphy and painting appraisal, you should be able to see that."
Shen Yu nodded to show his understanding, but said nothing.
Because just now a ball of precious light appeared from the painting with lightning speed, and then turned into a ball of mist and entered his body from the palm of his hand.
Shen Yu immediately felt chilly all over his body, not to mention how comfortable he felt.
But he was also worried because there were cameras all over the viewing platform, so he didn't know if anyone would notice this situation.
But after thinking about it carefully for a while, I felt relieved. Baoguang must be invisible to others.
Because when I silently recited the treasure appraisal, no one had ever expressed surprise at the light group condensed above the antique.
This should be like two magnets, the treasure light is one piece, and the treasure-appraisal golden pupil is one piece. Only if they have both at the same time can they be connected together, otherwise they are just air.
Second, even if the camera captured it, it would at best be thought to be a problem with the light, because Baoguang was so fast that Shen Yu didn't even see what color it was.
He took out the white cotton gloves and put them on, then took out a hand-held high-power magnifying glass, and began to look at the painting seriously.
Mr. Xiao, Mr. Wu, Mr. Liu Dongyang, and Mr. Dong Pengcheng got off the viewing platform and went to the VIP lounge to drink tea with Mr. Feng. The youngest among them was over seventy years old and stayed there all morning. This quite noisy auction hall is tiring.
They came to participate in the auction held by Baoyuan this time. In addition to giving Zhang Zongbao face, the main purpose was to bring a few old friends together to talk.
The departure of these big bosses relieved the nervous mood of everyone in the VIP table.
Anyway, there is no auction now, so many people are chatting with their acquaintances.
Fatty Li, who was sitting in the row behind Zheng Congyuan, also breathed a sigh of relief. He first unbuttoned two buttons on the collar of his shirt, then looked around a few times to make sure there was no one around him, and then mysteriously contacted the people in the first row. Zheng Congyuan whispered: "Brother Zheng, Lao Wei has also joined in. There is probably something good to watch now. Why don't we join in the fun?"
Zheng Congyuan said calmly without looking back: "It's just that Boss Wei also likes Shen Yu's Xuande stove. What's the fun in this?"
"Do you think Boss Wei really likes Xuanlu? You know he has always liked calligraphy and painting. He won't go there in the morning or at night. But he interfered like this when Boss Zhang was negotiating with Xiao Shen. Don't you see?
What can you do?"
Zheng Congyuan seemed to understand that the matter here was not simple, but it was impossible to directly ask about his identity in gossip, but continued to ask lightly: "What else could it be if I didn't like Xuanlu?
"People don't necessarily have to like one kind of antique. For example, although I like jade, I also like calligraphy, painting, and porcelain."
Fatty Li smiled: "No, no, Boss Zhang's auction house is called Baoyuan, and Boss Wei's hotel and restaurant are called Yiyuan. Brother Zheng, don't you feel something is wrong here?"
Zheng Congyuan tasted it and it was really interesting. Wei Junjie’s nickname seems to be Wei Yi.
Yi Yuan, Bao Yuan, there is something interesting about it.
Zheng Congyuan thought about it and realized that they both started their businesses at about the same time.
In the early 1980s.
One makes gold and silver jewelry and sells antiques.
One opens a restaurant and a small hotel.
They both made their fortune at about the same time, but Zhang Zongbao's career obviously developed better.
Thinking of this, Zheng Congyuan lowered his voice, "Is it possible that this word Yuan is really the name of a certain lady?"
Fatty Li chuckled, as if you were asking the right person, "Many people think that the name of Zhang Dong's partner has the word Yuan, but in fact, his wife's name is Shen Yuan.
"And Director Zhang's wife was once the first love of Boss Wei Junjie. The relationship was very complicated, so Boss Wei always disliked Director Zhang and found fault with everything.
"But Director Zhang felt guilty and embarrassed to get angry, so he accommodated himself to Lao Wei."
Zheng Congyuan suddenly realized, "If you say that, then we really have to go up and take a look."
After saying that, he actually got up and walked towards the viewing platform again.
Upon seeing this, Fatty Li quickly followed him.
As a well-known wealthy businessman in Chuzhou, Zheng Congyuan didn't mean to gossip to this extent. He just wanted to see what kind of calligraphy and painting Lao Wei brought out.
After all, if you want to suppress the wood kiln containing the Emperor of Porcelain and obtain Shen Yu's Xuan Furnace, it must be an authentic work by a famous artist, and maybe it will be a rare treasure of a famous artist from the Song and Yuan Dynasties.
In fact, some people in the audience were bored to see someone competing with Zhang Zongbao. Shen Yu's Xuan Lu had already become energetic, but due to human kindness, no one was the first to take the stage.
Seeing Zheng Congyuan and Fatty Li going up, they immediately followed and surrounded them.
……
"Xiao Shen, this unknown painting is pretty good. I wonder what it's called?" Zheng Congyuan asked slowly. He came up to look at it and couldn't see anything at all, so he simply asked directly.
Shen Yu put down the magnifying glass in his hand and smiled: "This comes from a traditional historical story theme called "The Picture of Eighteen Scholars"."
"Can you tell me more about it?" someone in the crowd shouted.
Shen Yu nodded: "Of course, the full name of this picture is, "Picture of Eighteen Scholars in the Qin Mansion". According to legend, when Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was the king of Qin, he set up a literature museum in Tiance Mansion to recruit talents.
"With Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Yu Zhining, Su Shichang, Yao Silian.
"Xue Shou, Chu Liang, Lu Deming, Kong Yingda, Li Xuandao, Li Shousu.
"There are also eighteen people, including Yu Shinan, Cai Yungong, Yan Xiangshi, Xu Jingzong, Xue Yuanjing, Gai Wenda, and Su Xu, who serve as bachelors of literature in their own right.
"These eighteen bachelors are all historical celebrities. To put it simply, they are also Li Shimin's think tank.
"After Xue Cao died, Liu Xiaosun was called to replace him.
"The specific identity of these eighteen people is still controversial in later generations, because there are many famous scribes in the Qin Palace, such as Sima Zhen, Li Yanshou, Sima Caizhang, Linghu Defen, etc.
"It can be seen that the original Eighteen Scholars probably did not necessarily refer to a specific eighteen people, but could be said to be a more general term.
"Later, Li Shimin passed an imperial edict and ordered Yan Liben to paint portraits of these eighteen people, and Chu Liang wrote praises, inscribed their names, birthplaces, and hid them in the inner palace to honor the virtuous corporal.
"Later, Kong Yingda, Yu Shinan, Yao Silian, Fang Xuanling, Xue Shou, Chu Liang and others who died before Li Shimin were all buried in Zhaoling.
"At that time, all the literati in the world considered it a supreme honor to be selected into the Hall of Scholars, and the name was: "Eighteen Scholars Arrived in Yingzhou"
"Yingzhou is the place where immortals live. Together with Penglai and Abbot, it is called the three immortal mountains. Climbing Yingzhou means fish leaping over the dragon gate and climbing to the sky in one step.
"In ancient times, there was nothing better than being a farmhouse minister in the morning, ascending to the Emperor's Hall in the evening, and honoring one's ancestors."
