Everyone took a break at noon, and in the afternoon, they set up the Longmen Array again, but they were talking about Wu Chen's ancient painting. There were quite a lot of paintings like this with the meaning of "immediately enfeoffing the Marquis" in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Because there is no signature, the age can only be judged by the paper and picture, and then the author can be judged by the painterly brushwork. After the continuous identification by Mr. Liu and Mr. Tian, ​​it is initially determined to be the work of Shen Quan, a court painter in the early and mid-early period.

Speaking of Shen Quan, most outsiders don't know his name. Wu Chen is also confused. He knows little about calligraphy and painting. Except for a few famous masters or those who are widely read by the people, other famous artists have no impression. .

Even Xu Shaodong knew very little about it. Although Mr. Ma was also a master of Bona, he himself specialized in porcelain and only had a general understanding of other categories.

This Shen Quan can be regarded as a strange person. In the ninth year of Yongzheng, at the appointment of the Japanese Emperor, he traveled eastward to Japan with his disciples Zheng Pei and Gao Jun. It took three years to form the "Nanping School" sketch painting, which is highly respected by the Japanese. , known as "the number one imported painter", there are quite a few painters who have learned from painting. The Nagasaki School of Painting in the Edo period in Japan was formed under its influence, and Maruyama was the most famous.

After returning to the country, the imperial court ordered Shen Quan to pay tribute to the paintings. In the 7th year of Qianlong's reign, "The Words of Mrs. Huarui's Palace" was well received. Tong Heng is known as a court painter in the history of Chinese painting. Shen Quan, who was 27 years old in the 81th year of Qianlong, was still able to paint "Flower and Bird Picture".

His works handed down from generation to generation include "Five Lun Picture", "Willow Yin Shocking Birds", "Autumn Flowers and Beaver Slaves", "Peach Peach and Two Pheasants", "Pine and Crane Picture", "Plum Blossom Ribbon Picture", "Crane Group Picture" ", "Pine Deer Picture" and so on.Especially the "Twin Cranes" painted at the age of 78 has a full composition and vigorous writing, and is known as a masterpiece in his later years.

It’s just that I don’t know why, this pair of "Immediately Fenghou" has not been signed, and it is still used as a hanging thing at home, it is probably a trial work.

In recent years, the market prices of Shen Quan's works have continued to rise. At a recent auction, "Picture of Deer on Pine Stream" was hammered down for 2800 million yuan, and the transaction price reached 3080 million yuan including commission.

However, since this painting was not signed or included in the catalogue, even if it was an authentic work, the market price would not be much higher. Mr. Liu suggested that Wu Chen should keep it for himself and use it for research.

Wu Chen put away the "Marquis Immediately" and prepared to hang it in Geguzhai. No matter how you say it, it is also an authentic work with a good meaning!Ge Guzhai can't always rely on some imitations or handicrafts to support the facade.

It is said that every time Wu Chen goes to Rongbao Zhai, he is shocked by the calligraphy and paintings that hang in every room and corridor. The century-old shop has such a strong foundation.Although Geguzhai has just opened, he may not even have a decent item in it now, but he is not in a hurry, let's take his time, let's start with this unfunded "Immediate Marquis" by Shen Quan!

"This kid's fate is really hard! He can touch everything, and God has specially favored him!" Before Wu Chen finished collecting, Xu Shaodong first expressed his emotions, and the fate of the same person is different, so that's what he said.

This made everyone laugh, but Kong Si was very pleased with himself, even though Wu Chen made so many things, he was still incomparable to himself!As for the ancient Tai'a sword in his hand, if he took it out, it would shock the entire industry!

However, he also knew the truth of Huai Bi's crime. As for this sword, if there were any rumors about it, how many people would stare at it.Coupled with the fact that what happened during the trip to Phoenix Mountain was too unimaginable, Wu Chen specifically told everyone not to tell it, so he didn't tell anyone, and he didn't even mention it to Mr. Tian.

"This is talent! In our business, almost every dynasty will have outstanding connoisseurs." After Tian Lao smiled, he said slowly, "Most of these people are born with gods, and with acquired hard work, they can make a difference." Achievement."

"Well, talent, hard work, opportunity, plus a famous teacher, these are the several factors to become a master." Xu Shaodong nodded quickly, and continued, but the word famous teacher was very heavy.

He is not showing off, there are three young people here, he and Kong Si can be said to have "famous teachers", only Wu Chen, who has the best talent and opportunity, seems to be alone, Xu Shaodong said this, the two old men Can hear a little extraneous voice.

Mr. Liu looked at Xu Shaodong meaningfully. These two boys were actually playing the side drum for Wu Chen. This was something that had never happened before.

,interesting!

He is quite satisfied with Wu Chen. He has really thought about it. Just like what Xu Shaodong said, there is nothing wrong with Wu Chen in terms of talent, hard work, and opportunity. It suits him.

It's just that there is a reason why he has not accepted apprentices for so many years. Once he entered the rivers and lakes as deep as the sea, the Taoism in it is not something that these young people can understand. Without strong support, they may be swallowed up at any time. Not even a bone.And this is precisely the weakness of this kid, Wu Chen!

If he accepts Wu Chen as an apprentice, preaching and teaching is just the most basic thing. Besides, using all resources to push this apprentice to a certain height so that he has the strength to protect himself, this is the most important thing, and it is the most important thing. hardest.

But having said that, this matter has to be done anyway. After all these years, it's not like I haven't investigated some, but due to various reasons, there is no chance in the end.Seeing that he is also very old, if he doesn't accept apprentices, if this line is ruined in his own hands, it will be difficult to explain when he goes underground.

As old friends, we knew each other in times of crisis. After decades of wind and rain, Mr. Tian naturally understood Mr. Liu's concerns. Now everyone was quiet, Mr. Tian thought for a while, and suddenly said slowly: "Cheng Zhu".

What's the meaning?Wu Chen saw that Mr. Liu's face darkened obviously, and he was secretly amazed in his heart, but he didn't know what Mr. Tian was talking about even if he searched his stomach. In this case, ninety percent of the time, it would not be the two old masters of Cheng Zhu Neo Confucianism. Other than that, Is there such a combination?

Kong Si knew that apart from luck and inexplicable intuition, this buddy Wu Chen didn't know much about things in the industry, and those few jargons were all he heard from himself and Xu Shaodong when chatting.

After taking a look, seeing that he really looked blank, he whispered in his ear: "Cheng Fang, Zhu Fang!"

Wu Chen frowned slightly when he heard it. He didn't know what Cheng Fang was, but Zhu Fang sounded familiar. It was broadcast in TV dramas. It seemed that he was a guy named Zhu Boqin. Experts can't tell the difference!

However, what does this have to do with me?Why is Tian Lao mentioning this now?

In the antique shop, it is not an exaggeration to say that Cheng Fang and Zhu Fang have changed their faces.Cheng Fang appeared in the late Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. Although it was a gold in troubled times and an antique in a prosperous age, the country was opened for the first time. With the influx of a large number of foreign collectors and explorers, it also created a chaotic golden age of antiques. Even the top experts couldn't identify them, and they were regarded as genuine products in the eyes of the people at the time. Many of them lived abroad and have been treasured in major museums to this day.

But Zhu Fang is much older, and it was the early days of reform and opening up, which was a time when a lot of waste was waiting to be done and fish and dragons were mixed. With the boom in antiques, a batch of fine and new high-grade official kiln porcelains appeared in the market from time to time. There are all varieties, although there are some people who are skeptical about so many high-grade porcelain popping up all at once, but they can't identify them. Later, they discovered the flaw on a certain occasion, thus uncovering the tip of the iceberg. The influence of porcelain is still there today, especially the blue and white and famille roses of the third Qing Dynasty, which have become the hardest hit areas.

Why did Mr. Tian suddenly bring it up?Could it be the little bowl just now?Xu Shaodong and Kong Si naturally thought of the small cowpea red bowl.

However, Wu Chen knew that wasn't the case. At that time, it was a good thing to put it there. Whether you were Cheng Fang or Zhu Fang, what you did was nothing more than a feature. How could it be possible to modify the molding time?

For a moment, everyone in the hall was thinking about something, but no one spoke.

Mr. Liu was even more stern, knocking on the table of the Eight Immortals with his fingers, making a slight "duk-duk" sound.After thinking for a while, he seemed to have made up his mind. He smiled slightly, raised his head, and asked Wu Chen some basic questions, mainly about his past experience, and whether he had a teacher, which made Wu Chen a little confused, but he was still honest. Answered truthfully.

At the end, Mr. Liu suddenly asked, would you like to recognize a master?

These words were a bit abrupt, Wu Chen was unprepared, and was stunned for a while, not understanding why he suddenly changed from Cheng Fang Zhu Fang to accepting disciples.The rhythm was a bit out of touch, but it wasn't that he didn't have any anticipation in his heart, but he didn't expect that he hadn't opened his mouth yet, and Mr. Liu asked first.

He has never been a hypocritical person, so he nodded.

Both Xu Shaodong and Kong Si were not fools, so Mr. Liu couldn't ask Wu Chen to introduce someone to him. It seemed that he wanted to accept this piece of wood on purpose.Xu Shaodong, in particular, cheered loudly when he saw that this was achievable. People who didn't know thought he had some happy event.

Some things happen naturally, it is just a layer of paper, once it is pierced, it becomes one of its own.

Mr. Tian stood up and congratulated Mr. Liu with a smile. Even Mr. Tie came out quietly, his usually serious face was full of a rare smile, and he arched his hands to congratulate Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu laughed, pointed at Tie Zhongtang, and said to Wu Chen, this is the son of his comrade-in-arms. He has been following him all these years, and he is considered to be his family. They will get closer in the future.

Isn't that just accepting an apprentice?Why is it more enthusiastic than recruiting a son-in-law?

Seeing this posture, Wu Chen faintly felt that this master's worship was not that simple, but he didn't have time to think about it for a while.For this old man who can make Kong Si feel embarrassed, he still has a feeling of admiration from the mountains, so he hurried up to hold his hand and made out with him.

This time he paid special attention to it, and sure enough, he saw that Boss Tie's hands were covered with calluses, and he didn't know whether he had been holding the gun all year round, or whether he had iron sand palms.
