Tibetan play style

Chapter 305 "The Statue of Confucius Teaching"

Then Professor Song looked through the materials in the study room. He remembered that a book he had read once introduced "applying"... Xu Yunhan, who realized that he had been forgotten, didn't bother him, but poured a cup of tea and sat down. On the sofa in the corner of the study, he took out the book he was carrying with him from his bag and read it quietly.

Time passed so quickly without knowing it... When Ge Ying came into the study to ask the two of them to have dinner, what he saw was Professor Song and Xu Yunhan sitting in a corner, both holding books in their hands and concentrating on reading.

No wonder the old man fell in love with this little girl and accepted her as a student. The looks and expressions of the two reading books are very similar~ Ge Ying stood by the door and looked at it for a while, smiling inwardly, then went in and took the books of the teacher and the student. Collect them all and help them close them, "It's time to eat, aren't you hungry~"

So Xu Yunhan, who went to the teacher's house on the first day, had the audacity to stay behind and help Granny Ge wash the dishes after the meal.Before she left, Professor Song said to her, "This painting will take a few days to finish, and I will call you when the time comes."

"Xiaohan, come and play when you're free, and I'll make another table of delicious food." During dinner, Xu Yunhan's praise of Mrs. Ge's cooking skills made the old lady very happy, and she strongly invited her to come to the house to play more .

In the end, Xu Yunhan thought about it and did not take out the gift he had prepared in advance, because the two jade pendants he brought were both black jade pendants, and their styles were suitable for men.She didn't expect to come to Professor Song's house today, so she didn't prepare a gift for Mrs. Ge.After thinking about it again and again, she planned to give it the next time she came to pick up the painting. It would be quite appropriate to give the old lady a pair of purple jadeite bracelets then.

In the next few days, Xu Yunhan stayed at home to read books or practice using spiritual power as usual. However, during this period of time, she also read a lot of ancient and rare books left by her family, but she did not find anything about the couple who accompanied the Xu Luo family. Information about the Xu couple who were buried together with the heart method.

This disappointed Luo Feng who had called several times to inquire. Xu Yunhan had no choice but to comfort him by saying that there were still many that he hadn't read, and maybe there would be relevant records in those.

The consequence of this rare good intention is that Luo Feng calls from time to time to urge her to hurry up and read books, as if she would stay up all night without sleep and read all the ancient and rare books at once.

In this way, coupled with the tasks assigned by Mr. Cun and Professor Song, Xu Yunhan felt that she was about to become a bookworm during this time. Dai Xiaobei, who was always rejected when asking her to go shopping, laughed at her several times, and she became a bookworm. .

After staying at home and reading books for a few days, Xu Yunhan received a call from Professor Song. The painting has been re-framed, and the paintings hidden inside are really shocking, so she should immediately call him home!
It seems that the portrait of the character inside is very likely to be the painting of the saint Wu Daozi, otherwise Professor Song wouldn't be so excited, Xu Yunhan hung up the phone and thought happily.At the same time, he quickly ran into the basement to get a pair of bracelets and two black jade pendants, and then drove directly to Professor Song's house.

"Come on, come in quickly, he's waiting for you in the study." After she knocked on the door, Mrs. Ge quickly came to open the door for her, and said with a smile.

So Xu Yunhan walked into the study room quickly, opened the door and saw Professor Song standing by the desk, staring at the painting on the table motionless, she took a few steps closer, "Teacher, I'm here~"

Song Huaiyi waved at her without raising his head, "Come and see~"

"This is... a figure painting~" Xu Yunhan walked over as promised, looked at it and said in surprise.

Professor Song frowned, pointed to the bottom left of the painting with his hand, and motioned to her, "Look here!"

The inscription on the lower left of the painting is written by Wu Daozi, and there is a small square seal attached to the bottom, where the word Daoxuan can be vaguely discerned.

Xu Yunhan was shocked, "Wu Daozi?! Daoxuan? Is this painting from..."

"That's right, this painting is the "Portrait of Confucius Teaching" by the sage Wu Daozi. I have carefully checked the painting style, inscription, and the material of the silk cloth. This painting is probably the authentic work of Wu Daozi. Ancient Chinese There are many statues of Confucius drawn in various forms and styles, but what is really widely recognized and accepted is the stone carving "Confucius Xingjiao Statue" that exists in the Confucian Temple in Qufu, Shandong. Painted by the painter Wu Daozi, but unfortunately the original work has long been lost. And this portrait is exactly the same as the stone carving in the Qufu Confucian Temple in the cave. Your painting should be the original work of Wu Daozi. Where did you get this painting? ?”

After removing the shell of the landscape painting, Song Huaiyi made some guesses the moment he saw this portrait of Confucius. In the next few days, he consulted a lot of information and appreciated the painting countless times without letting go of any detail.In the end, he believed that this "Portrait of Confucius Teaching" was the authentic work of Wu Daozi.

So he immediately called Xu Yunhan to get the painting, and explained to her the origin of the painting.

"I bought this painting from an old lady who was selling paintings when I went to an antique shop with a friend. At that time, I just felt that the old lady was very pitiful, so I wanted to help her One. Later, when I got home, I didn’t take the painting seriously, so I threw it aside. One day, when I was cleaning, I accidentally broke the scroll, and then I thought it seemed a little strange, so I thought about re-framing and looking inside. What's going on." Xu Yunhan's tone was sincere, with a serious expression, as if it was true.

Song Huaiyi listened to her experience of buying paintings, and praised, maybe it’s really good intentions that are rewarded~ Your kind thoughts on the spur of the moment may bring you rich rewards as soon as you turn around~
"This is really Wu Daozi's authentic work~" Xu Yunhan muttered like a dream. Although she had already guessed it, she still felt a little unbelievable when she was sure.

Wu Daozi, the dignified painter, there is currently no authentic Wu Daozi handed down according to rumors.In other words, if this "Portrait of Confucius Xingjiao" is authentic, it will be the only authentic painting of the saint in the world!
Thinking of this, Xu Yunhan's heart beats faster. If it's an authentic work, it might fetch a sky-high price!

"What are your plans for this painting?" Song Huaiyi asked, looking away from the painting.

Xu Yunhan thought for a while, and said, "If the price is right, I will sell it." Since she is only a small fortune now, she has not yet reached the point where she can keep a collection of rare antiques, and she She is going to participate in the jade fair after a while, and she also wants to take this opportunity to buy a few more pieces of jade with aura to enhance her spiritual power.

So naturally she wanted to turn this painting, which she didn't need, into money.

"If you want to sell it, I can introduce you to a suitable buyer. He has been looking for the authentic work of Wu Daozi for most of his life, but he has not been able to do so. If he knows this painting, he will definitely be very impressed. Interested." Song Huaiyi mentioned an old friend of his, in fact he himself wanted to collect this painting very much, but he knew that the price of this painting was unaffordable for him, and such a painting was put away casually. How worried you should be at home.

Only collectors with strong economic strength can buy it at a matching price and properly preserve this painting that is fully qualified to enter a national museum.

"Okay, then I would like to trouble you, teacher, to contact me." Xu Yunhan said heartily, she was really drowsy and met the pillow, so that she could exchange money as soon as possible, without delaying going to the jade company, and as much as possible. Perhaps few people know that this painting has passed through her hands, and it would be best to sell the painting without making a sound.

Seeing that she agreed without the slightest hesitation, Song Huaiyi was very ironic in his heart. In fact, his request was unreasonable. To say that such a rare and rare treasure should be released first in order to obtain greater profits. News, let most people in all industries at home and abroad know the existence of this painting.

After some discussion, research and identification, after confirming that it is authentic, add some publicity, and then run a special auction, so that Wu Daozi's "Portrait of Confucius Xingjiao" will definitely sell for a sky-high price

So after he proposed to find a buyer for her, he felt that he shouldn't have said that, but that old friend had indeed been looking for it for decades, and he really couldn't bear the old friend to miss this painting.

"How about this, why don't you hold a private collection exchange event and find some familiar Tibetan friends to participate, and then you can bring this painting, and anyone who is interested can compete." After thinking about it, Song Huaiyi came up with an idea In this way, Xu Yunhan won't lose out in fair competition, and his old friend will also have the chance to buy the authentic work. As for whether he can finally buy it as he wishes, it's up to the old friend himself.

Xu Yunhan thought for a while, that's fine, the price will be higher if there is competition, "It's okay, how about this, then everyone will go to the antique shop run by an elder of mine, do you know any friends who are interested You can come together if you want to, and I will invite a few people from my side, how do you like it?"

"It's inevitable that there will be some noise in the antique shop. It's better to book in a quiet place." Song Huaiyi suggested.

A quiet place... Xu Yunhan suddenly thought of the collection exchange meeting that Jing Shuo took her to last time, it was in a teahouse at that time, "Well, you are right, then I will go back and discuss with my uncle first, and make an order." I'll call you when I get the time and place."

"Well, good." Song Huaiyi agreed, "Then I'll wait for your news." He has met Xu Da, he is an insider, and he should be able to arrange the matter, so he doesn't need to intervene, just waiting to inform a few reliable people Just go with your friends.

"Then I'll take my leave." Xu Yunhan carefully rolled up the painting and put it into a prepared long box, then took out a black velvet box and a thick big red envelope from the bag, "This is for you and the old lady My wife’s gift, I didn’t prepare anything in a hurry last time, it was really rude, so I specially remembered to bring it before I came today, I hope you like it. In addition, this is a small gesture of thanks for your help this time.”
