The Book of Appreciation

Sitting in the back seat of the Range Rover, Wu Di couldn't help shaking his head while looking at the exquisite interior and smelling the faint scent of leather.

"Hehe, boy, I hold grudges very much. If you dare to yell at me this morning, then I will attack you now. Do you know who bought this car? Do you know why you bought an off-road vehicle? Do you know who gave the idea to the old lady? Do you know who arranged for the old lady? Now please allow Mr. Zhong Qi to introduce to you, the one who arranges all this is the future director, who won the Academy Award winner, winner of the Palme d'Or, winner of the Golden Horse Award and Master of Chess and Chess."

"My uncle is ashamed. In fact, grandpa didn't allow you to buy this car, so you asked your mother to buy it for your little uncle. You also said that you can come over and drive it often, and you can exchange it with your x5."

"Damn, I brought a little spy. Doudou, they are all uncles, it's not fair."

"No, one is my brother-in-law and the other is my little brother-in-law. Of course the older one can't bully the younger one."

Chang's hometown is far away, in the mountains of Yanqing, Zhong Qi explained to Wu Di:

"Old Uncle Chang used to start with the Chinese character, but he came from the cultural front and has always been a top appraiser. After retiring, he had nothing to do and felt that the air in the city was not good, so he bought a house in Yanqing Mountain. The old man knew He liked it so much, I set up another auction house, and let me send it to Uncle Chang as soon as I found something good, so we made this trip. But, Xiao Wu, let me tell you something, you Don't be angry."

"Don't worry, you said that a friend opened an auction house, and the relationship is you."

"Hehe, I have shares. I have shares in many companies. Boy, your fourth brother, I am a man with a story."

"Stop talking nonsense, what's the matter?"

"Damn, it's you who interrupted, okay?"

"Don't talk nonsense, be lenient when you confess, and be strict when you resist."

"Your painting may not be photographed."

"Ah? Why? Shouldn't it be fake?"

"Old Uncle Chang is the same as Zhang Daqian. He likes Shi Tao's paintings. He usually shows good things to Old Uncle Chang. If there are suitable ones, he will keep them. The price is higher than the auction, but there are very few left. Your painting he I will definitely want it, but Uncle Chang will have his [-]th birthday at the end of next month, what the old man means is that if this painting is real, it will be a birthday present."

"Oh, then give it away."

"Think about it, this is tens of millions of things."

"So expensive? Oh, but in my eyes, there is no difference between tens of millions and millions. I don't have to worry about the children in the backing village. I have a car. I will get a commission in a few days to buy a house. I don't have anything." Shortage, why do you need so much money? Besides, the old people in the family need things, shouldn’t the children give them?”

"You don't get married, don't raise children, don't you want to live a good life?"

"What is a good life? I have no shortage of food and clothing, and can earn money. What is it worth to send a painting?"

"Okay, let's stop teasing you. The painting is going to be given away. I'll give you the money. Can I buy it?"

"Don't, don't ask me for money, I'm in a hurry with you."

"If you have the ability, go back and find the old man."

"Just go, if you really want to give me money, I will go to him tonight."

"I see you kid, but you have never seen money, but anyone who has a little money and has suffered hardships will not underestimate you like you. In the future, you will cry. No, hurry up, at one o'clock every day, Uncle Chang can't help but want to sleep, and I don't want to wait that long for two hours of sleep."

Wu Di thought about it, maybe it has something to do with not seeing money, or it may have something to do with that piece of glass. The most likely thing is that he still has the ultimate treasure——Tianshu!

Hurry up, and it was already a little faster when we arrived at Uncle Chang's villa on the mountainside. Zhongqi took the painting and ran for a while, causing Wu Di to run with Oududou.Although it was just a quick glance, Wu Di gave this house an evaluation, a fairyland on earth.

"Old Uncle Chang, I brought you something good."

Before entering the hall, Zhong Qi started to shout, and Wu Di heard a very energetic voice coming from the hall:

"Boy, are you afraid that your old Uncle Chang will sleep? I'm going to get enough sleep before I wake up to watch. I didn't sleep well last night, Old Yang, let's go and sleep with him for three or four hours."

Zhong Qi was not as restrained as he was at home. He walked in and said:

"When you wake up from a long sleep, this thing will be destroyed too. Yo, what a coincidence, Uncle Yang is here too. Wu Di, Doudou, come quickly and let me introduce you."

This villa is an antique building, built like a courtyard, all flat floors, Wu Di is now standing in the second main room.He saw two fat old men standing in the middle of the main room at a glance, and instantly felt like his idols were disillusioned. Aren't all the people living in the fairyland are thin, fairy-like immortals?No matter who these two fat old men are Uncle Chang, He Xianfeng Daogu can't be named?It's also because Wu Di doesn't care about politics. If you change to the old Beijing Youzi, as long as you say it's the old man with the prefix of Guo, who wouldn't know that it's the fat old man you often saw on TV more than ten years ago?

The two old men couldn't tell that one was over [-] at all. Wu Di felt that they were both around [-], even younger than his father. Without waiting for Zhong Qi's introduction, one of the fatter old men came towards them:

"You are O Doudou, right? Ou Xingfu, you are such a blessed baby. Come on, Grandpa Chang doesn't have any good things. I'll bring you this bracelet."

"This can't be helped. How can this little guy bear the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead that the Living Buddha has opened?"

"As you go, come on, little guy, you have to take it with you if grandpa says yes, don't you dare to say no to the gift from the elders."

The old man put the string on Oududou and said to Wu Di:

"You are the godson of that old stubborn donkey, Wu Di, right? The old guy has never owed anyone a favor all his life. I think he is finished this time."

The old man beckoned, the nanny handed over a jewelry box, opened it, it was a white jade Guanyin, handed it to Wu Di, said with a smile:

"I haven't gone out for many years, I can't get good things, and I can't reach the level of suet jade, but the size is still a thing, don't think it's bad, little guy."

Wu Di was about to resign, but when he saw Zhong Qi signaling him to continue, he put it away openly and said with a smile:

"I'll take it with me later. Everything the old man gave me is said to keep you safe."

"Well, okay, no wonder the old stubborn donkey has a crush on you."

Old Yang came up, took out a pair of Wenwan walnuts and a writing brush, handed them to Wu Di and Oudou respectively, and said with a smile:

"I'm not a big local tyrant like old man Chang, small thing, let's play with it."

Wu Di thanked repeatedly, and Oududou said sweetly:

"I will use this pen to practice calligraphy, and I will compete with my grandpa in the next few years."

The faces of the two old men who spoke were all grinning.

With sharp eyes, Zhong Qi saw the walnut in Wu Di's hand, and couldn't help shouting again:

"The old lion head! Uncle Yang, my heart is bleeding. I usually don't let me see it. Now you give it away, it's not fair!"

What I said is really weeping blood every word, those who hear it cry, and the listener is sad.

"Brat, what did you bring, bring it quickly, I have to take a nap later."

"Thump, thud, grand debut!"

Zhong Qi handed the oiled paper bag to Chang Lao's hand,

"Painting? Why is it wrapped? Silk painting?"

Chang Lao guessed it was a painting as soon as he touched his hand, but he guessed the wrong direction.

"No, yes, hey, it's a painting, not a silk painting, just dug out from a square of brick and inkstone."

"Oh, that's to hurry up, let's go to your Uncle Yang's studio."

Lao Yangtou's studio is in the west wing of the first courtyard. A group of people walked over quickly. Chang Lao carefully opened the oil paper and saw something like a sponge in the crease of the paper. He nodded, opened the painting, and put it on. On the table, looked up.

Zhong Qi quietly explained to Wu Di that Lao Yangtou is a master of mounting and is also seventy years old. He is a good friend of Uncle Chang. There is also a set of guys on the side.

Old Yang leaned forward, took a look, and said:

"Shi Tao, landscape painting."

"Well, it's a good thing, and it's well preserved. This painting has been mentioned in "Dafengtang Calligraphy and Painting Record" and "Shitao Research". According to records, Yin Jiantang disappeared after it was collected, but there are imitations from the late Qing Dynasty on the market. , Some people even said that this painting was fabricated, but I didn’t expect the real painting to be here.”

"Look, there is Yin Jiantang's Appreciation Seal here."

Chang Lao took a magnifying glass and looked carefully for a while, straightened up and said:

"Shi Tao's painters are natural and describe nature. Most of the landscape paintings are the wonders of Huangshan. He wrote the texture of Huangshan, trying to be similar to the composition of Huangshan's rock formations. Huangshan is full of pine trees, which are full of strange things. Therefore, Shi Tao's paintings of pine trees have all kinds of special characteristics. The technique, won the demeanor of Huangshan pine, and Mei Qing's painting of pine, which can be called "two wonderful". Huangshan has towering peaks and cloudy sea wonders, so Shi Tao is best at painting clouds and mountains. And Shi Tao is good at "cutting scenes" in composition, and the structure is intentionally curious , ingenious and clumsy, interchangeable in thickness and thickness, giving people a sense of danger. Shi Tao believes that painting begins with one painting and ends with one painting. It is also very thin, and the contrast between the two brush strokes is very different, but it is very vivid. When Goushan draws trees, they all use reverse fronts to express them, which is full of ancient and clumsy taste. Shi Tao's ink method is unique, so it can express the dense atmosphere of mountains and rivers He likes to use raw paper or Goryeo paper to paint with a wet brush, so that the seepage becomes misty and misty, without obvious outlines. Or draw the outline with light ink before it is dry, and then use ink or blue water to dye it. All these characteristics can be found in this painting, so it is undoubtedly an authentic work, and it is still a high-quality work. Xiao Zhong, do I want to hold back your finale auction?"

"Hehe, Uncle Chang, this painting was taken out by Wu Di from a brick and inkstone. I made a special trip here to give you the painting. I wish you an old body like this mountain and this pine, and you will never grow old. However, it is agreed , I will come empty-handed if you always treat me to wine next month."

"Okay, come here empty-handed, when the time comes, the whole family will come over, I won't let the children do it, just us old guys get together, and then you little guys will also get together. Hey, did you bring the brick and inkstone? Look Maybe we can know the provenance of this painting."

Wu Di hurriedly took out two bricks and inkstones from his backpack, Chang Lao took a look and sighed:

"Zhang Tingji? It's a good thing, Xiao Wu, why are you willing to destroy it?"

"It was on the table and accidentally dropped on the ground."

Chang Lao shook his head, thought for a while, and couldn't help but said:

"Does Xiao Wu usually play with antiques?"

"If you don't play, this is bought as a gift."

"Oh, it's nothing like that. If you want to collect it, let Xiaoqi teach you. There are many tricks in it. Of course, you are welcome to show things to us old guys. Lao Yang, see if this brick can be repaired. ?”

"No problem, let's put it here, you guys talk, this painting needs to be dealt with quickly."

"Haha, this is Lao Yang chasing people away. Forget it, I'm going to bed. Three little guys, do you want to go or stay?"

Zhongqi called Qu Lai,

"We haven't eaten yet!"
