Our Time: Unswerving until Death

Chapter 14 Dare is this boss!

Thinking of this, He Qi said decisively to Li Yan: "Have you eaten yet?"

Li Yan said with a smile: "Look at what you said, it's been a while, and I've eaten it a long time ago."

While making jokes with Li Yan, He Qi noticed that the closed book on the counter was "Jinshilu", written by Zhao Mingcheng and his wife Li Qingzhao, it was one of Huaxia's works on Jinshi yesterday morning.

This can't help but arouse He Qi's great curiosity, because He Qi knows that Li Yan is illiterate, so how can he understand books?

Li Yan scratched his head and said with a naive smile: "Sir, I am not illiterate, but I can read some words. The master said that I am a half-educated person."

He Qi said: "Then what about your master? Are you a fully educated person?"

Hearing this, Li Yan laughed even more foolishly, and whispered quietly: "Sir, let me tell you, don't say that I said it, my master actually even wrote his own name crookedly. "

"Then what if you sign it?"

"My master carries a stamp with him, and when he encounters a signature, he stamps it with that stamp, and it's all done."

He Qi held back a smile and said, "Then your master has to remove the word culture, and call him a full-fledged person." He chatted again: "Your master finds you, a half-educated person, as land, so do you want to use it in the future? Looking for a fully educated person to be your apprentice?"

Li Yan was startled, blinked his eyes, and asked, "How do you know, that's what my master told me, asking me to pass on the skills I learned from him to a fully educated person in the future. "

He Qidao: "This is called the waves behind the Yangtze River pushing the waves ahead, and one generation is stronger than the next."

Speaking of this, He Qi became curious again, and asked: "Your master is illiterate, how can you identify calligraphy, painting and literature? If the paintings are better, you can tell what the paintings are, but if they are copybooks, such as "Lanting Collection" "Preface", at a glance, they are all words, what should I do?"

"You don't know that, do you?" When it comes to professionalism, Li Yan deliberately sold off.

He Qi's appetite was whetted, and she hurriedly said, "What's going on?"

In fact, it wasn't Li Yan's deliberate betrayal, but in their line of work, masters taught apprentices by word of mouth, and what they passed on was the work of eating, so naturally they couldn't let outsiders know the secrets.

Li Yan thought for a while, skipped the point, and said vaguely: "Appreciating copybooks is one thing to see what is written in the copybooks, and another is to look at the historical inheritance, but the most important thing is to look at the layout, brushwork, and handwriting of the copybooks." , You can see the characteristics of a person's writing with one stroke, one stroke, one stroke, and an experienced master can spot it at a glance. Then analyze where it came from, whose collection it passed through, and it basically didn't run away."

"Then what if you encounter a copycat?"

"It's hard to paint the skin. He can imitate a character perfectly, but he can't guarantee that he can imitate every character perfectly. On a post, there are at least a few crosses and as many as hundreds of characters. As long as you identify them word by word, you can basically imitate them." I can find the fault."

"So, is it the same reason for appreciating paintings?"

"Appreciating paintings is more difficult."

"How to say?"

"Well~ Let's put it this way, some old masters can tell where the first stroke of a painting is, where it is drawn first, and where it is drawn next?"

"So mysterious?" He Qi was really startled.

"That's not enough! In our industry, there is something deep inside. Some old masters have studied a painter all their lives, and the paintings that come out of his hands are made old, and then flowed to the market. It's really hard to see. Come on, my master has suffered a lot."

Just as he was talking, Li Yan walked out of the counter, took He Qi to an ancient landscape painting called "The Picture of Falling Wild Goose" hanging in the shop, and said, "Hey, it's this painting that made my master suffer. It was imitated by Shi Tao." .”

He Qi looked up and down, but couldn't see anything good, so she asked: "Then how did your master know later?"

Li Yan bent over directly with a smile, and said, "The one who imitated this painting pointed it out in person."

"Ah?" He Qi asked in surprise, but became more and more interested.

Li Yan said vividly: "Last year, around this time, one day, a man came to the shop, about seventeen or eight years old, and he was fucking a mouthful of Sichuan movies. Shi Tao's painting. Isn't this a coincidence? A while ago, my master just picked up a big bargain and received a pair of Shi Tao's "Luoyan Picture". I drew the painting, and after a few glances, I said that the painting was fake. Naturally, my master refused to accept it, so he reasoned with that person. Unexpectedly, the person said that this painting was painted by him. Can you not know whether it is true or not? How can my master believe it? , the person who can draw a picture that deceives his eyes must be at least an old master, and it is absolutely impossible to be so young. My master suspects that this person has no money, and wants to lower the price. So he said, since you can If I draw this painting, I will naturally be able to draw another painting. The man agreed immediately, but he insisted on asking for a prize, so my master just said five oceans. I thought this was the end of the matter. Unexpectedly, a few days later, the man really came back with a picture of "The Picture of Falling Geese". Compared with this one, it was basically the same. My master had to smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and gave him five yuan It's over. Afterwards, my master got drunk and said that he slipped the tongue, and everyone in Liuli knew about it. Well, my master saw that the "Luoyan Tu" in his hand couldn't be sold this time. Just hang it here."

"Hahaha" He Qi was delighted to hear this, feeling like he was listening to a story, and hurriedly asked: "Did that person imitate a painting?"

"It's far more than that! After the news about my master spread, other shops said they also encountered a lottery winner. It was only a month before and after, and the process was exactly the same. It's just that everyone was thinking about it at the time and didn't say anything. I imitated more than a dozen paintings in one breath, including Shi Tao, Bada Shanren, and Wang Meng. I couldn't tell the authenticity of each painting, and then came to ask the paintings one by one. If you want to ask for a lottery to prove that he painted it, after calculation, it was only a month or so, and this person asked for at least dozens of dollars."

Using this method to make money, he was lucky enough to think of it, what a strange person!

The key is that these shopkeepers still can't tell the reason, they can only admit it, He Qi laughed and his stomach twitched, and asked: "Do you know what this person's name is?"

Li Yan paused every word: "Zhang! Zheng! Quan!"

He Qi was shocked when he heard it, he dared to be this big boss!Perhaps the name Zhang Zhengquan is relatively unfamiliar to everyone, so Zhang Daqian should know it.

At the same time, He Qi looked at the painting "The Picture of Falling Geese" with fiery eyes. She was so excited, thinking whether she could buy it and keep it for collection.

By the way, there are more than a dozen Zhang Daqian's paintings in Liulichang, and He Qi is more and more eager for small money.
