Xu Jia smiled and said, "What did you find again?"
Fan Jin flattered him and said: "Master, I really didn't expect that you are actually a master of painting. From thirty meters away, you could tell that the painting on the paper was actually made by Wu Daozi based on the words on the corner of the paper.
"You can be said to be full of knowledge, I admire you, I admire you."
"etc……"
Xu Jia scratched his head: "Don't be too busy flattering me, let me ask you, who is Wu Daozi?"
"Ah?" Fan Jin was stunned and opened his mouth: "Master, you don't even know Wu Daozi?"
Xu Jia stared: "Is this guy famous?"
Fan Jin was completely dumbfounded: "Master, master, since you don't know Wu Daozi, how do you know that this set of four treasures of the study is extremely valuable and can be called a priceless treasure?"
Xu Jia chuckled: "I was fooled!"
"Meng?" Fan Jin sighed: "Master is so lucky."
Xu Jia was noncommittal, but where did he lie? Searching the astrolabe has revealed that the Four Treasures of the Study contain an ancient and scholarly spirit, which means that the Four Treasures of the Study are very valuable.
As for the origins of the Four Treasures of the Study and whose hands they came from, Xu Jia, a guy who fell from heaven, naturally has no idea at all.
Xu Jia frowned: "Shao Luosuo, tell me, who is this Wu Daozi?"
Fan Jin cleared his throat, shook his head and explained: "Wu Daozi, a famous painter in the Tang Dynasty, was revered as the Saint of Painting by later generations. He was good at Buddhism and Taoism, gods and ghosts, figures, landscapes, birds and beasts, vegetation, pavilions and other calligraphy and painting. He was especially good at Buddhism.
Tao, painting and sculpture of figures.”
Xu Jia nodded: "As expected of Juren, he knows so much."
Fan Jin chuckled: "I also like calligraphy and painting. I am a loyal supporter of Wu Daozi. I have copied many of his works and I know his preferences well. It is really simple to identify his works."
Xu Jia asked: "Then how did you conclude that the four treasures of the study are Wu Daozi?"
Fan Jin explained: "Wu Daozi's brush strokes are very powerful, so the wolf does not go from thick to thin as usual, but in reverse from fine to thick. This is unique among calligraphy and painting masters in the past. Just with this thick brush, I
I guessed five points right.”
"Furthermore, Wu Daozi's paintings have several major characteristics. On a simple piece of paper, he can draw concave and convex surfaces, yin and yang surfaces, such as high, side, deep, oblique, rolled, folded, floating, and lifted postures of clothing patterns.
It is completely traced based on the organization of lines and is full of rhythmic beauty. This is a strong personal style. Master, did you see the cockroach crawling characters exposed in the corner of the paper? It is completely in line with Wu Daozi's style."
Xu Jia took a closer look: "Yes, it is indeed very similar to what you said. Yes, the writing is too ugly..."
Fan Jin swore to explain: "My master doesn't know something. Wu Daozi loves to drink. He doesn't drink well. He will get drunk after drinking. Such ugly words must have been scrawled after drunkenness, but the style is still Wu Daozi's. No one can copy it."
Come."
Xu Jia glanced at Fan Jin with admiration and smiled very happily: "Fan Jin, you can do it. You are worthy of being a civil servant. You are really educated."
Fan Jin said: "Not only did I guess that this was Wu Daozi's work, I even knew the name of the painting."
Xu Jia was shocked: "What is the name of this painting?"
Fan Jin said confidently: "Zhong Kui's picture with ten fingers!"
Xu Jia nodded: "Okay, let's confirm it later."
The auctioneer raised his hammer, looked at Huang Guiqing with a smile, and shouted: "Eight million once...Eight million twice...Eight million three times..."
Huang Guiqing raised the sign at the last moment: "Ten million!"
"Oh my God, Master Huang has increased the price again. Why is this?"
"My guess is that Master Huang insulted Xu Jia on purpose. There was a rift between the two in the past."
"It's very possible that Xu Jia is being bullied this time. If Xu Jia keeps shouting, he will definitely suffer a loss. I guess he won't shout anymore."
…
Everyone was unanimously optimistic about Huang Guiqing.
Huang Guiqing's face was very proud, her eyes were full of disdain, she looked at Xu Jia from a distance and hummed: "I want to see if you dare to continue shouting. It's already ten million, do you still dare to continue shouting? Anyway, ten million is right.
It’s too childish for me.”
Xu Jia smiled slightly and immediately raised his sign: "Twenty million!"
call!
Everyone was confused.
"Twenty million? Xu Jia is crazy."
“Is this kid biting his hand when he has too much money?”
"The biggest loser of the year is revealed."
…
Even Wang Ruhai was stunned by Xu Jia. This kid really doesn't play by the rules.
Xu Jia looked at the astonished Huang Guiqing and smiled like a spring flower: "Are you still going to follow? If you continue to follow, I will stay with you until the end."
"It's crazy."
Huang Guiqing was absolutely certain that as long as he dared to increase the price, Xu Jia would immediately retreat, and the four treasures of the study would be in his hands.
Isn’t it stupid to spend more than 20 million to buy a four-piece study worth at least 5 million?
Huang Guiqing snorted, with disdain on his face.
"Twenty million once, twenty million twice, twenty million three times, well, these four treasures of the study belong to Mr. Xu."
If the auction is successful, 20 million will be automatically deducted from Xu Jia's ID account.
The two etiquette ladies handed the Four Treasures of the Study to Xu Jia.
Xu Jia quickly took it, cautiously, for fear that something might happen to the Four Treasures of the Study.
King Kong Mountain couldn’t stop laughing: “A bunch of fakes actually cost 20 million. It’s really a strange thing in the world. Only those with insufficient brains can do this kind of thing, right?”
The crowd burst into laughter.
Xu Jia smiled: "A blind man is a blind man. Even if the treasure is close at hand, he cannot see it."
"you……"
King Kong Mountain suddenly stood up: "I don't believe that fakes can actually be turned into treasures."
Huang Guiqing also frowned and sneered: "Of course this is not a fake, but it is not a treasure either. The surname is Xu, a pile of ancient relics worth at most five million, and you took the photo for twenty million. I am also drunk."
Xu Jia retorted: "It's better to be drunk, so that you won't regret it after reading it."
Huang Guiqing clasped his hands behind his back and raised his head: "I regret it? What a joke. When have I ever opened my eyes? Open them all. Open them all for me to see. It will also give everyone here a sense of enlightenment."
Seeing Xu Jia's conclusion that it was a treasure, everyone's minds became excited and they gathered around it.
"Okay, I'll open it and let everyone see it."
Xu Jia lifted up the cloth covering the four treasures of the study. No one paid much attention to the wolf hair, ink, and inkstone.
When the paper was opened, a painting was revealed.
As soon as this painting came out, I was immediately shocked to the point where I was so frightened that I couldn't even close my eyes.
In particular, Wang Ruhai and Huang Guiqing looked nervous and had extremely rich expressions.
The painting shows none other than Zhong Kui.
Wang Ruhai tied his beard and looked at it for a long time. Finally, he slammed the table excitedly and shouted: "This is the "Ten Finger Zhongkui Picture", haha, the "Ten Finger Zhongkui Picture" that has been lost for three hundred years, haha, this is a priceless treasure, a priceless treasure.
.”
Everyone was confused.
King Kong Shan stamped his foot angrily and his face turned dark.
The most depressing person is Huang Guiqing, staring at the picture of Zhong Kui with ten fingers, dumbfounded. (To be continued)
