treasure hunt god pupil

Chapter 193
A group of people sat down around the tea table, and there were two tea art masters with appearance signs performing the tea ceremony live.

"Old Geng, which expert did you find for that ancient painting you bought last time? In case he misses it, it happens that Li Shao is here, so let him take a look too." Niu Sanpang motioned him.

Li Mo said with a smile: "Trust me, just take it and have a look."

"Then Young Master Li, wait a moment, I'll go to the office to get it."

Liu Geng walked out of the private room, Li Mo looked around while drinking tea.In addition to the porcelain on the ancient shelves, there are more than ten calligraphy and paintings hanging on the surrounding walls, including figure paintings, flower and bird paintings, calligraphy and so on.From the color point of view, they are all a bit old, but old does not mean that they are all valuable, but when his eyes fell on a picture of a baby playing, he went up to observe it with a teacup.

"Li Shao, how is this painting?" Niu Sanpang also came to him with a teacup and pretended to look at it, but his eyesight was not flattering, and after looking at it for more than ten seconds, he said, "I still haven't eaten this job. talent."

"It's fine if you know how to do business." Li Mo said with a smile, "This painting does not have a seal, but judging from the ink brushwork, it is a folk work in the late Qing Dynasty. I don't know how much Lao Geng paid for it. of?"

"It was just for decoration. I bought it in an old street. It cost 600 yuan. I just thought it was old, so I brought it back." Liu Geng held a long box in his hand, which should be the one he bought last time. Bought it back at a private sale.

"Go to the dining table." Before Li Mo left, in order to verify that he was not mistaken, Yitong took a special look, and the old painting really emitted a light gray halo.But before he looked back, he looked through it all at once, and then saw another gray halo shooting out, forming a halo of light spreading around.

It turns out that there are still paintings within the painting. Judging from the color of the halo, the old folk paintings outside are from the late Qing Dynasty, while the hidden paintings inside are from the mid-Qing Dynasty, and have a high artistic achievement value.

"Young Master Li, this way please."

Seeing that Liu Geng brought the painting, the other young masters put down their teacups and gathered around the dining table.They only have the legend of Li Mo, and they have never seen him appraising treasures with their own eyes. This opportunity is rare.

Liu Geng took out a painting from the long box and spread it out slowly. It was a painting of flowers and birds.From the composition point of view, it still has a sense of hierarchy, the ink is also simple, and the lines are concise.

Li Mo looked down and saw that the inscribed seal was actually the word 'Ji Xiaolan'.

"Old Geng, you didn't buy it because of the word 'Ji Xiaolan', did you?"

Lao Geng smiled awkwardly and said, "It's just a fluke mentality. In fact, I don't know anything about it."

Well, if you have money, you can do whatever you want.

Li Mo shook his head slightly and said, "The seals engraved by modern people, as for this picture of flowers and birds, teachers from the Academy of Fine Arts can easily draw such a level."

"Hey, you and that expert said the same thing. How did you figure it out? I stared at it for a long time and didn't see any flaws."

"You can see the flaws at a glance, which means that your appreciation ability is quite good." Niu Sanpang patted him on the shoulder, "Old Geng, you should run your club honestly, and have a business with antiques. Just don't touch your fingers."

Liu Gengjuan is good at drawing, and said with a bitter face, "I just want to pick up a leak to fulfill my wish."

He was about to dispose of the fake painting, but when he was about to leave, Li Mo stopped him. He pointed to the picture of a baby playing in the late Qing Dynasty and said, "Old Geng, can you take that painting down?"

"What's so good about that painting? I bought it for more than 600 yuan, mainly to cover the big white wall." After Liu Geng finished speaking, he looked at the old painting suspiciously, "Li Shao, what's wrong with that painting?"

"I don't know yet. I had a few glances with Sanpang just now, and I need to think about it more carefully." Li Mo didn't finish his sentence, but said that he was a little suspicious and needed further identification.

Liu Geng immediately ran over, moved a stool and took down the painting.

"Young Master Li, take a closer look."

Li Mo spread the old painting on the table, looked at it for 2 minutes by the light, then stretched out his right hand, wiped it on his clothes a few times, and then moved his fingers frivolously on the surface of the painting, slowly moving.

"Brothers, you all have to watch carefully, Young Master Li is going to use his unique skill of authenticating calligraphy and painting 'Hand of Heaven'." San Pang said exaggeratedly, and he stared at it with wide eyes.

Li Mo just made a show, he selected five places and touched them carefully, and then said: "Old Geng, ask someone to send you a bowl of warm water, a clean brush and a blade."

"You wait."

The three things were delivered quickly. Li Mo dipped some warm water on the brush and slowly soaked along the edge of the painting, and then cut lightly in the middle of the painting paper with a blade a few times.

One layer of paper is split in two.

Those sons and brothers were all excited, it seemed that there was something going on, maybe there was some treasure hidden in it.

Li Mo cut a circle along the edge of the painting, and finally peeled it off lightly, the painting on the surface was lifted up, revealing the hidden things underneath.

There are words in the picture.

"Li Mo, there is indeed a picture of characters here, but why is the font so strange, it doesn't look like cursive script, regular script, or running script."

Niu Sanpang looked confused, and finally shut up obediently and waited for Li Mo to explain.

Li Mo looked at the final seal, it was the word 'Deng Shiru', and then he had a bottom line in his heart.

"This is a work by Deng Shiru, a great calligrapher in the mid-Qing Dynasty."

Everyone had never heard of Deng Shiru, so they all waited for Li Mo's next words.

"Deng Shiru's original name was Deng Yan, but the word 'Yan' was the same as that of Emperor Jiaqing, so he changed his name to Deng Shiru to avoid taboo. This man was a great calligrapher in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. In the past, calligraphers wrote only calligraphy, which is "" The running script or cursive script along the way of "Chunhua Ge Tie" was developed in the Qing Dynasty, and Deng Shiru directly learned seal script and official script from the ancient stele of Qin Dynasty and Han Dynasty."

"So he is the pioneer of a new school of calligraphy. This school of calligraphy is called the School of Calligraphy by Bei Xue. This person has a high status in the history of calligraphy. The calligraphy is not bad. Old Geng, you can go back and find a master framer to repaint it." Get it down, and the market price is estimated to be around 80 to [-]."

Liu Geng immediately grinned. There is actually a hidden word in the old painting bought for hundreds of dollars. It is the authentic work of some pioneer of the School of Calligraphy. Although it is only worth 80 million, it is still a small leak. Make up for the previous loss.

"Old Geng, if you plan to publish this handwriting, I will help you deal with it and sell it for a good price." Niu Sanpang said with interest.

"Okay, turn around and put it in your place, if you have a chance, shoot it. Brothers, let's continue to drink tea and listen to the show."

The eye-openers of the young masters are worthy of the "Hand of Heaven" stunt. You can know that there is something in the painting by touching it once.This kind of ability makes them amazing, making money is as easy as drinking water.
