"Why don't you wait until Boss Wang comes out? I'll give him 60,000 yuan and ask him if he will sell it?"
Shen Yu was startled at first, thinking that this old man of mine is really here, and he is really willing to spend money on antiques!
Glancing in the direction of the bedroom, the door was still closed. Shen Yu said in a low voice: "Brother Yu, you don't have to be so down-to-earth. What if the signature above is just the nickname of an ordinary scholar in ancient times? Isn't it just a cover-up for you to give 60,000 yuan? Do you want to buy it at the market price? We are here to pay for the old house, so the price we give him must be lower than the market price."
Yu Maolin suddenly realized, "Xiao Shen, do you mean that I give him 10,000 to 20,000 first?"
Shen Yu shook his head, "It's more than 10,000 to 20,000 yuan. Later, let's see what kind of antique he brought out. Then based on the price he offered, we can know whether the price he asked was the market price or the shady price. With the other party's Bottom line, if we bid any more, we will be more confident."
"Okay! It's all up to you!"
Shen Yu smiled and said: "Come on, brother Yu, let's go have tea. There are already hanging calligraphy with such amazing calligraphy on the wall. I'm really looking forward to what good things Boss Wang can bring us!"
When they returned to their seats, they were both surprised.
Li Tietou has already eaten most of the four plates of dried fruits, and half of the plate of bananas and two apples.
"Tietou, this is neither your home nor mine. We are now guests at someone else's home. Can you calm down your stomach?"
Those words were said by Shen Yu.
Some people hate that iron cannot become steel.
Yu Maolin gave a thumbs up with a smile and said: "Brother Tietou really has a good appetite!"
Li Tietou didn't care, "We have walked such a long way, can't we have something to eat and drink?"
Shen Yu was speechless. Although he looked like a living Li Kui on the outside, he was very kind-hearted. However, he couldn't change his temper of eating too much and occupying too much, so he still hasn't found a girlfriend.
But in front of Yu Maolin, Shen Yu couldn't speak too harshly of him.
I could only pour a glass of water for Li Tietou, "Drink tea to moisten your throat."
The three of them sat and talked for a while before the closed bedroom door was slowly opened.
After Wang Yuqian came out, he was very happy to see the table full of peanut and chestnut shells.
"Bosses, don't the dried fruits taste good? I fry them all myself."
Shen Yu and Yu Maolin looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
While talking, Wang Yuqian carefully placed a mahogany box about four feet long and two and a half feet high on the ground.
Li Tietou saw this and said, "Brother, aren't you? You've been here for a long time and you just moved such a wooden box?"
Wang Yuqian smiled and shook his head, "This box is an old item, but the box is not for sale. The items I want to sell are all contained in it."
After glancing at the three of them, Wang Yuqian showed his eight teeth to Shen Yu, "Expert Shen, I wonder if you are not interested in the unknown paintings of the ancients?"
Shen Yu did not expect that the other party would sell calligraphy and paintings, and immediately nodded, "Anonymous paintings must have a particularly unique charm if they can be passed down from ancient times to the present. In other words, they must have their own collection value, otherwise no one would collect them, let alone Silk paper that is one to two thousand years old, or even hundreds of years old, has long since turned into fly ash, so I am naturally very interested in the unknown paintings of the ancients!"
"What's your last name, boss?"
After Wang Yuqian asked Shen Yu, he looked at Yu Maolin again.
Yu Maolin said with a smile: "Forget your surname."
Wang Yuqian flattered Yu Maolin, "Just now I saw that you were very interested in a few calligraphy and painting calligraphy on the wall. Most of them were anonymous, so I guess you are a painter who values their work." A collector whose brushwork is more important than fame."
"I don't understand it at all, but if I want to say that the expert in identifying calligraphy, painting, calligraphy and calligraphy is Xiao Shen."
Yu Maolin said politely, but he was very proud in his heart. After all, everyone wants to hear good things.
Wang Yuqian beat the snake and followed the stick, "You also know that if antiques are just sold in small markets, the prices will definitely not go up. Now that the calligraphy and painting market is so hot, it must be knowledgeable and capital-savvy people like you and Expert Shen. It was formed with the participation of collectors.
"I'm not praising one or denouncing the other. People who are ignorant can't even tell the difference between printed matter and real calligraphy and painting. If you give them an ink painting, they really can't see what's good or bad about it.
“So it’s only after knowledgeable buyers like you come that I can take out the really good items.”
Yu Maolin naturally smiled and nodded in agreement.
Over there, Li Tietou, who became thirstier the more he ate dried fruits, couldn't stand Wang Yuqian's nagging, "My dear, I say Lao Wang, please hurry up. You can even wash our faces with saliva. This antique has not yet been See you."
Wang Yuqian stopped talking. He first wiped the red rosewood square table in the middle of the main hall with a clean rag carefully twice, and then solemnly took out a large picture from the box. Roll it out by hand.
Instead of being cautious, I held my breath and slowly unfolded the painting on the table little by little.
Painting on silk.
For coloring figure paintings.
It looks very dilapidated.
It can barely be expanded.
After just one glance, Shen Yu felt unsteady.
Without it, this is an ancient Buddhist painting.
If Shen Yu thinks he saw it correctly, the figure in the painting should be a "Picture of the King of Pagodas".
Why Shen Yu is so excited is because most Buddhist and Taoist paintings are from before the Song Dynasty.
In other words, this painting is most likely a Tang painting or Sui painting.
Before Li Sixun in the Tang Dynasty, the painting world was not dominated by landscapes.
Instead, they mainly focus on Taoist paintings.
From the Jin Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Buddhist and Taoist paintings dominated the painting world.
Buddhist and Taoist paintings are ancient figure paintings that mainly focus on Buddhism and Taoism.
Initially, they were not painted on paper and silk, but were painted on murals in Taoist temples, Buddhist temples, palaces, and even deep mountain caves and tombs.
Later, many painters emerged one after another, so there were Taoist paintings on paper and silk.
In terms of Taoism, the Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial Kings, Emperor Donghua, Emperor Ziwei, Taiyi Heavenly Lord, Tota Heavenly King, Jiuyao Xingjun, Xingxiu Heavenly Officials, including Zhong Kui’s gods from the underworld are all preferred subjects for painting.
In addition, there are real statues of famous Taoist figures, such as Peng Zu, Zuo Ci, Xu Xun, Ge Hong, Medicine King Sun Simiao, or the Twelve True Monarchs of Xishan, etc.
The masters of the Jin and Tang painting circles: Gu Kaizhi, Lu Tanwei, Zhang Sengyao, Zhan Ziqian, Yan Lide, Yan Liben, Zhang Xiaoshi, Fan Changshou, He Changshou, Yuchi Yiseng, Wu Daozi and Yang Tingguang all specialized in Buddhist and Taoist paintings.
Assuming that the painting saint Wu Daozi has authentic paintings handed down to the world, they must be Taoist paintings.
If anyone comes up with a freehand painting of flowers and birds, or a painting of an evening crossing in the Hanshan Mountains, a painting of a journey in the Cloud Mountains, a painting of Panasonic playing chess, and other landscapes and figures, and says that this is my authentic work by Wu Daozi, then you can throw the painting directly in his face.<
/p>
Because it must be a fake.
Look at the painting carefully again.
This painting can be said to exhaust the beauty of painting.
In the painting, the King of Heaven is dressed in bright light armor, wearing a black gold crown on his head, holding a halberd and sword in his left hand, and holding a pagoda in his right hand. His clothes are elegant and lifelike.
There are even green dragons appearing around you.
The scales and claws are flying in a thousand shapes and forms.
The more Shen looked at this painting, the more shocked he became.
Many paintings are actually pretty good, but most of the characters in landscape paintings are Cinma Dou. When you look at them with a magnifying glass, their facial features are indeed very expressive.
But when such a real-life portrait is presented in front of me, I just feel that the King of Pagoda will jump down from the painting.
