Baolu Tianxing

Chapter 329 Black Market Auction

Old Liu took a breath, waved his hand, and asked someone to take out a scroll from the wooden box, put it on the table and spread it out.

Everyone saw that although the painting had a normal width, it was not too long, and only took up a section in the middle of the table.

"Heavy recommendation! Gu Kaizhi's "Admonitions of Women's History"! It's just incomplete, and the reserve price is only [-]."

After finishing the painting, Old Liu turned around to face the crowd, rubbed his hands, and wrinkled his face with a smile.

"I won't say much else. If you like it, come and take a look. However, the scroll is a little weathered, so please don't try it."

When everyone saw him take out the scroll, they were quite concerned, but when he finished speaking, no one was interested, drinking and chatting, even Bai He stood up and made a few extensions. The movement of the chest, and the two lumps of turbulent flesh attracted the attention of the surroundings.

Although the expressions and movements were different, there was no one in the stands, and no one followed what Lao Liu said, and ignored the stage, thinking it was an intermission.

"What do you mean?" Da Ya saw that the atmosphere on the field was not right, so he asked, and immediately drew the eyes of many people around him, making him even more baffled. Is this a collective boycott of Lao Liu?He didn't treat everyone badly, he just served drinks.Besides, if there is going to be a boycott, should I notify my buddies anyway?

Wu Chen knew his details, swallowed the coffee in his mouth, and said in a low voice, if someone holds a big seal and tells you that it is the "Treasure of Destiny of the Qing Dynasty", would you believe it?

Why don't you believe it?Da Ya was still a little unclear about the situation, so he replied blankly.

Believe me!Wu Chen said angrily, "The Treasure of Destiny of the Qing Dynasty" is the first of the 25 treasures of the Qing Dynasty. That thing is now staying in the Palace Museum. If you want another one to appear here, wouldn't it be hell!

"Oh!" Da Ya suddenly realized, "You mean that this painting is also hung in the Forbidden City? If you say so, there is indeed a ghost in it. But can you just say it directly? Why don't you use a metaphor?"

Wu Chen shook his head. It was a long story, and he couldn't explain it clearly to Da Ya for a while, but the desire to see his face was still popularized by him.

In fact, as long as anyone who has a little interest in Chinese speaks about Gu Kaizhi, it is like a medical student mentioning Bian Que, and a craftsman mentions Lu Ban. Gu Kaizhi, who was born in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is recognized as the first professional painter and is forever frozen. On the top of the hall of the painting world, his works are even more exquisite. Among them, the "Luo Shen Fu Tu" based on the content of Cao Zhi's "Luo Shen Fu" ranks first among the top ten famous paintings handed down from generation to generation. There are still no authentic paintings, but imitations from the Song Dynasty!

"The Admonitions of Women's History" is another representative work of Gu Kaizhi. Since its publication, it has been a treasure collected by the courts of all dynasties, and many posters have copied it.Due to the long history, there are only two copies left in the world. One is hidden in the Forbidden City in the capital. It is a version copied by people in Song Dynasty. A period copy, a rare art treasure.

This facsimile in the British Museum is the oldest picture scroll still in sight.Although it is a copy, it is still recognized as a treasure in the painting. It is simple in style and bright in color. It is signed "Painting of Gu Kaizhi". It has always been regarded as the representative work of Gu Kaizhi's famous painting handed down from generation to generation. go.

"So, it's really a treasure?!" Da Ya smacked his tongue after hearing this, his eyes flickered, and he glanced at the paintings on the table, but they were not hung up, but laid flat on the table, and the pictures could not be seen.

"It should be said that it is a treasure!" The boss of the Jiang family couldn't stand it anymore, pointed to the painting on the table above, and said contemptuously: "That's it? Hehe, there are many on the overpass."

But it turned out that he had already glanced at it just now, and with just this one glance, he had already seen the crudeness of the painting.

"Okay, old Liu, hurry up and put it away, go home and hang it for the children to play with!" Yu Xiaozi said to Lao Liu while drinking the red wine and crumpling the disposable paper cup in his hand.

"Hehe, what's the matter, why don't you come and take a look? Who said that it doesn't have to be Song imitation, but it can also be an imitation of Ming and Qing Dynasties, or the Republic of China. No matter what, it is an old object, not to mention, the imitator is still If it is of a certain level, it has a good meaning, and it is also a good idea to take it home and play with it."

Seeing that the first unsold lot was about to be born, Lao Liu was also a little anxious. He searched for nonsense, hoping that someone would buy it. Sincerely speaking, if this work hadn’t been named "Nv Shi Zhen Tu", it would have been If you have a look, tens of thousands of dollars can still be sold.

"Stop talking nonsense! Old Liu, I've picked up on these words several times, and no one wants them, so hurry up and withdraw them!" The Henan boss surnamed Tang waved his hand impatiently. If it was another painting, he was still interested. , That's good, I just put it on the "Admonitions of Women's History" when I came up. Who doesn't know that it is a long scroll, which was drawn by Gu Kaizhi based on the main content of Zhang Hua's original work. The content of the painting is the so-called clear rules and precepts that women should abide by.

There are a total of twelve paragraphs in the whole painting, and each paragraph contains a "model" story of an ancient court woman, and each paragraph is preceded by a copy of Zhang Hua's Fu.

Such a long and famous painting, even if it is imitated by later masters, it will be the whole volume, instead of just imitating a paragraph like this.Those who can do this are very limited in their own level.

So everyone is not interested.In addition, there are many people here who have identified paintings, and they are indeed average, which is the level of a third-rate painter.

Lao Liu rubbed his hands together, looking at Da Ya expectantly, he sincerely hoped that this stick could make a price, but Da Ya didn't have much interest in these things, and he was planning a lively and deserted scene, he didn't want to join in, in his heart Like many people, I was looking forward to quickly removing it and replacing it with a new one.

"1 yuan, I've claimed it, hurry up!" Wu Chen stood up suddenly, and waved his hand impatiently.

"Are you stupid?" Da Ya pulled his hand off, 1 yuan is not much, the problem is that it is too cheap to pick up something no one wants.

Just when everyone was astonished, Lao Liu had already announced the establishment. He didn't remember how this broken painting came about, but it had been in his hand for a while, and he was unwilling to throw it away, and he couldn't sell it. Take it out and fool around, and this time, Wu Chen, a newcomer, finally bought it.

"Come on, little brother, take it!" Overjoyed, Old Liu even came out with his honorific name, rolled it up, put it in a paper tube, and stuffed it to Wu Chen.

Wu Chen suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, took out a stack of brand new one hundred yuan red hair from the box, and handed it to Lao Liu. Because of nervousness, his hands even trembled slightly, but he smiled too much, and others didn't notice it.

Just now he glanced at it habitually. Under normal eyes, this painting is indeed very ordinary. If it weren't for the good condition, it would be comparable to the "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival" on almost every street stall!

However, under the mess of the supernatural ability, a gushing ray of light shot straight out from the paper, and the entire picture scroll was full of precious light, which was incomparably strong and thick!

Before I knew it, my eyes penetrated into the paper, and I found that there was another universe inside!Under a thin layer of rice paper, a completely different picture came into view, and with just one glance, Wu Chen's mind was flashed like an electric shock.

He didn't dare to look too much, so he turned his eyes back, only to feel a voice ringing in his ear, take it down!Be sure to take it down!After calming down, he was a little annoyed, afraid that Bai He would come to tease him again, seeing her, she didn't make any moves just now, and he didn't know if she was holding back her energy and wanted to fight him to the death!

So he resisted the impulse in his heart and refused to speak for a long time. He waited until everyone was impatient, then pretended to be impatient, and finally got it in his hand.

After the delivery was completed, Wu Chen felt relieved. He didn't have time to pay attention to what the next object that Lao Liu took out. He lowered his head and closed his eyes, recalling the scene he saw just now. Just one glance, but it left a deep impression on him. !

In retrospect, the content of this old painting is somewhat similar to a certain fragment of the legendary "Nv Shi Zhen Tu", but the picture is blurred, and the expressions and behaviors of the characters in the painting appear to be rough.

Moreover, the use of paper is also a big problem. The cooked paper that is not commonly used in calligraphy and painting is used. Anyone who is a little beginner in the industry knows that rice paper is divided into raw Xuan, cooked Xuan and half-cooked Xuan.

Cooked rice paper is processed with alum water. The ink is not easy to penetrate and does not melt when exposed to water, but the effect is different from other papers. It can be used for detailed depiction and repeated rendering and coloring. It is suitable for painting green and heavy colors. Meticulous Landscape.

Raw rice paper is not processed with alum water. It is characterized by strong water absorption and water permeability. It melts when it meets water, and it is easy to produce rich ink rhyme changes. Freehand landscape painting.

Familiar Xuan Xuan painting is easy to master, but it is also prone to smooth and dull problems; raw Xuan painting is full of ink, but it penetrates quickly and is difficult to master.Therefore, it is generally preferred to use half-cooked rice paper for landscape painting.The half-cooked rice paper slowly melts when it meets water, and it has the change of ink rhyme without being too permeable. It is easy to master in chapping, rubbing, dotting and dyeing, and can express rich brushwork and ink interest.

The painter probably used Shuxuan to imitate Gu Kaizhi's brushwork, but unfortunately his skill is not enough, the overall expression of the characters looks dull, and the brushstrokes are blunt between transitions.All in all, this is the random work of a third-rate painter, no wonder people who have seen it shook their heads.

However, under Wu Chen's ability, he could see that under the thin rice paper on the surface, there was another painting that was not made of rice paper at all. It is revealed from this ink-colored silk painting.
