Chapter 70 The genius of the region produces masterpieces

Liu Yue pressed the car window and called Yang Chengming, "Brother Yang, why are you here?"

Yang Chengming did not answer Liu Yue’s question. He looked at Tang Feng and said, “It turns out it’s Brother Tang, long time no see.”

Tang Feng nodded to Yang Chengming and said, "It's true that I haven't seen you for a long time. Hello Brother Yang."

In fact, these three people knew each other, but the other person didn't know. Seeing that Yang Chengming and Liu Yue were familiar with each other, Tang Feng remembered that the manuscript of Li Shizhi he bought in the underground black market was sold to Yang Chengming. At that time, Yang Chengming was not sure whether it was true or not, so he called his friend for help. Later, his friend sent the information to his mobile phone. It seemed that the person who sent the information should be Liu Yue. She liked to store these on her mobile phone, and her work also gave her this kind of convenience.

Yang Chengming said embarrassedly: "Xiaoyue, I'm so embarrassed. I don't know that you have a friend in the car and you're disturbing me."

Liu Yue smiled slightly and said, "It's okay."

Yang Chengming said to Tang Feng again: "No. I mean, Brother Tang, I'll take the lead."

The two of them were about to miss it, but Yang Cheng Ming was distracted from the fun. After chatting for a while, Tang Feng looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, I should go back." To talk about how good Tang Feng feels now, it must be self-deception. The feeling of guilt is proportional to people's conscience. Their current situation is somewhat similar, but for most people, this feeling is not exciting.

Liu Yue nodded and said, "I'll send you back."

When Liu Yue started the car, she drove the car audio. In the soothing music, the two of them were silent all the way. Liu Yue also had something to worry about, and this matter was very difficult.

Before we knew it, New Year's Day had passed. As the Spring Festival approached, the antiques and hidden jewelry market ushered in the peak sales season, and Chinese stones also rose with the water and business became increasingly popular. These days, demon moths are flying all over the sky. For the New Year, who doesn't want to get jade to ward off evil spirits? New Year's new atmosphere, making a stone at home can also enhance the cultural atmosphere. Against the backdrop of the return of traditional culture, Tang Feng and Chen Yan's efforts have finally been rewarded. This smooth flow, the boss and employees are in a good mood.

On this day, Tang Feng was discussing the matter of managing jade with Lin Muyu. Chen Yan hurriedly ran in and said to Tang Feng, "Tang Feng, the treasure is out."

"Baby, is it coming to dig out the golden doll?" Tang Feng turned his head and asked Chen Yan: ". Have you dug up your house long ago? Where did the treasure come from?"

Chen Yan waved his hand and said, "Hey, I don't have such good luck. I don't know how this Feng Shui changed. It's unbiased. It's what Zhao Yongshi said. He spent 1.3 million to buy a painting, which was Changed by Xu Wen."

Xu Wenchang was Xu Wei, a native of Shaoxing, Zhejiang. He was a famous writer, calligrapher, painter, and military strategist in the Ming Dynasty. He was regarded by later generations as the most brilliant genius and all-rounder in the Chinese cultural circle after Su Shi. Some people even said that a talent like him would only be released in five hundred years. When Tang Feng was a child, he watched the TV puppet series "The Smart Boy Xu Wenchang" with him as the protagonist. Xu Wenchang in the puppet drama is extremely smart, with a superb genius, and he specializes in fighting against "evil" forces. These are not all empty-handed trends. Xu Wenchang in history is indeed a genius. He can memorize "The University" at the age of six and write articles at the age of ten.

However, geniuses are often maverick and not understood by others. This is particularly obvious to Xu Wenchang. He failed the eight exams after he became an adult, and he was only a juren at the age of 40. He was not only a poet, painter, calligrapher, military strategist, but also a historian, operaist, folk writer, gourmet, drunkard, Taoist, traveler. At the same time, he was also a mentally ill and murderer. When he was mentally ill and self-harmed, he accidentally killed his wife. For this reason, he was imprisoned for seven years, and then he was in a slump and left the world in the extreme lack of life.

Tang Feng said: "If it were his paintings, Zhao Yongshi would have made a lot of money, with a thousand omnipotent value."

"He is a businessman, not a collector, and he will sell it if he changes his hands." Chen Yan said: "He already has a next house, and he has bid 2.5 million yuan, so he has lost his luck. In one night, he will sell it for 1.2 million yuan, and he will earn tens of thousands of dollars a day."

Tang Feng asked strangely: "How could it be so fast?"

"His painting is equivalent to taking it alive." Taking it alive is in Beijing dialect, which means taking things first and then giving money. Chen Yan continued, "I came here so early to let you go and see it with me."

Tang Feng shook his head and said, "I'm busy here?"

"Mu Yu is so capable woman, it's okay." Chen Yan probably wanted to join in the fun.

Liu Yue couldn't help but laugh and said to Chen Yan: "Are you praising me or scolding me?"

"Of course I'm praising you." Chen Yan pulled Tang Feng out while speaking. Lin Muyu shook his head helplessly. The two of them were probably possessed by evil spirits.

Tang Feng on this side had already been stuffed into the Alto car by Chen Yan. He started the car and said to Tang Feng: "Go and see. If you think it's good, we'll also cut it off."

Tang Feng said: "The authenticity of Xu Wenchang's paintings is enough of controversial things in my family."

"It's always good to go and see it, you have a lot of knowledge." China Stone's business has been going on, and Chen Yan, whose pockets are bulging, has long been unable to control his collection.

After a while, the car arrived at the store where Zhao Yongshi drove at Shilihe Antique City in Beijing. As soon as the car stopped, Tang Feng saw Jiang Yuan. Although these two people were just ordinary friends, they were very polite after meeting. Alas, now, the more polite they are, the less friends they are. Zhao Yongshi was very excited when they were happy. Seeing Chen Yan and Tang Feng coming, they immediately watched the tea. Chen Yan couldn't help but said, "Don't mess with these useless things, take out the things and take a look."

Zhao Yongshi said with some embarrassment: "Oh, I'm about to come to my house next home, I've packaged it."

"By your head." Chen Yan said: "Can you die if you look at it?"

"Bao, bah, bah!" Zhao Yongshi did not allow Chen Yan to destroy his good mood. This face made a lot of money. Who doesn't know Zhao Yongshi's name in Quanshilihe Antique City? He said: "It's the New Year, don't say these unlucky words, can't I take them out and see them for you two?"

After a while, Zhao Yongshi took out a scroll painting. After the picture was unfolded, Chen Yan was amazed. The painting was quite large, one meter wide and 30 cm wide. Tang Feng looked at the painting carefully. This was a paper-based ink stroke. The inscription of the painting was "Riding a Donkey to Recite Poems". The figures riding a Donkey are very popular with figure painters throughout the ages. In ancient times, many literati and poets liked to recite Poems on Donkeys. This painting may be a deliberate allusion. Jia Dao was similar to the young people today. He didn't like the palm of the head when riding a bicycle.

It was pushed and knocked and hit Han Yu. Ancient days without motor vehicles were good. If you meet modern times, you would knock Jia Dao away at one 70 yards. Han Yu was also quite interesting. He immediately said, "Click." Han Yu was a civil servant after all. With humanistic considerations, he wanted Jia Dao to be polite, so he could not push the door. This story is already very old-fashioned. It is hard to say whether it is true or false. It reflects an attitude of ancient literati. They actually long to be appreciated. The so-called love-willing landscape is just a manifestation after frustration.

The content of the scroll is simple and clear. In early autumn, the branches sway in the wind, and the green leaves are sparse and messy. On the broad road under the tree, a scholar wearing a tall hat, a beard and a wide dress rides a strong donkey while walking quickly. The whole painting reflects the harmonious coexistence between people and donkeys. The donkey is full of energy, erects long ears, spreads out four hooves, and runs easily. The scholar riding the donkey is as steady as Mount Tai, sitting on the back of the running donkey, with calm expressions, and even a little surprised to see the truth. At this moment, his thoughts have already swam into the sky.

This painting has an inscription by the later generations: Xu Tian Shui Yue recites poems on his back. Xu Tian Shui Yue is a bit interesting. The three characters are combined exactly the word "Wei" by Xu Wei. In addition, this painting also has many marks of Gong Yuxian and others for collection, and they are all great collectors in ancient times.

The problem lies in the inscription and bell seals, which were all left by later generations. The author himself only left the four words "First Year of Wanli" and did not leave his own calligraphy and painting seals. Chen Yan asked Zhao Yongshi: "How did you see it?"

Zhao Yongshi said: "This is something that someone else has placed in me for consignment. Several experts say it is true. A buyer came in just two days. He took a look at this painting at a glance. I just acted as an agent."

"Tsk, you guys can give me this." Chen Yan said: "It's just a matter of taking it. I have to say something about the agent. You think I know you."

"Hey, I'm not afraid of being slanted." Zhao Yongshi would definitely not admit it. He said, "Am I like that kind of person?"

There are benefits of taking it by yourself. You don’t take risks yourself. If you sell it, you can’t sell it and return it. It’s just that the profit is smaller. Tang Feng estimated that Zhao Yongshi bought it after he learned that someone wanted it and then took it off. Otherwise, there would be a price difference of 120.

Chen Yan asked Zhao Yongshi: "What's the situation? Let's hear it."

Zhao Yongshi said, "This is consignment, nothing is wrong." He would not admit it if he was beaten to death. Jiang Yuan on the side couldn't help it. He said to Zhao Yongshi: "The second son and Brother Tang are not outsiders, just tell me, you can't even feel so nervous if you hide the secret in your heart, right?"

Zhao Yongshi smiled and said, "Hey, let's talk about it." Then, Zhao Yongshi told the whole story of the painting. There was a group of people in the antique city. They were not here to buy antiques but to sell antiques. Tang Feng had done this by himself. On this day, two people came to Zhao Yongshi and said that they had something to ask him if he wanted it. Zhao Yongshi had worked with them several times before, and the things were pretty good and earned tens of thousands of yuan. But this time it was a price of more than one million yuan, and Zhao Yongshi was not sure that he dared not take over. The other party obviously walked through several places and refused to accept it when he saw Zhao Yongshi refused to accept it. They proposed to place it here for consignment. However, they had the words first, and if someone wanted it, they would notify them, and no one would come to pick it up in two days.

As a result, just one day later, a Taiwanese man fell in love with the painting. The two sides bargained for it and finally priced at 2.5 million yuan. At this time, Zhao Yongshi had a bad idea. He found an excuse to let the Taiwanese leave a deposit to get it today. The Taiwanese were also very happy and gave him a deposit of 500,000 yuan. Just last night, the two came to pick up the painting. Zhao Yongshi used all his brains to let them sell it to him for 1.3 million yuan, which was why they made 1.2 million yuan by replacing it. Originally, Zhao Yongshi didn't want anyone to know about this, but who knew that the shop's shop drank high that night and exposed the matter. The matter spread quickly, and Chen Yan and Jiang Yuan got the news. Zhao Yongshi shook his head and said, "A young man who is usually very smart can't stop his mouth when he drinks high. I was so angry that I immediately let him roll the bed and leave. I'm the only one left in the store."

Chen Yan asked Zhao Yongshi again: "You didn't find anyone to come here to take a look?"

"Nonsense." Zhao Yongshi said: "I have found several groups of people. This painting has a correct score, no problem."

Chen Yan asked Tang Feng: "Tang Feng, what do you think?"

Tang Feng shook his head quickly and said, "It's not that I'm hypocritical, this thing is really hard to say."

"Brother Tang, they are all their own people, just talk about your own judgment." Jiang Yuan really wanted to hear Tang Feng's opinion.

Tang Feng said, "Xu Wei's paintings are too difficult to judge. No one in the Palace Museum can see them accurately, let alone me." reporters, Tang Feng said to Chen Yan, "It's not okay if there is no one in the store to take care of them. Why don't we go back first?"

Chen Yan said, "You guy is so embarrassed to say to me, you are just a monogamous wife, what are you afraid of? It's not too late to see what the Taiwanese looks like before leaving."

Tang Feng shook his head and said, "I'm telling the truth."

Chen Yan asked Zhao Yongshi again, "When will that bazi come?"

Zhao Yongshi looked at the time and said, "Strange, it's been five minutes since then, why haven't you seen anyone?"

"I think you're fooled." Jiang Yuan was speaking, and he said, "Didn't you see Brother Tang keep silent? Why do I feel more and more like a game?" Jiang Yuan saw Tang Feng in a hurry to say he was leaving, and he was already suspicious in his heart. In addition, the Taiwanese people were a little shaken, so this matter became even more obvious.

Tang Feng shook his head. Jiang Yuan saw through himself. Tang Feng suspected that this was a game after seeing the painting. This game was really hard to guard against. People had already taken Zhao Yongshi's mentality and paid you a deposit of 500,000 yuan, making him think that the painting was real and then he found a way to buy it. To put it bluntly, the 500,000 yuan was open bait, and the remaining 700,000 yuan was hidden bait. In addition, he had given Zhao Yongshi some sweetness before, and greedy people would be fooled. At this point, what are you waiting for? People will definitely not come. The 800,000 yuan was Zhao Yongshi. This is called stealing chickens and losing rice.

"Impossible?" Zhao Yongshi reached out and touched his eyelids as he spoke. Why did he dance so hard?

Jiang Yuan said: "Wait for another half an hour and you'll know?"

It was not convenient for Chen Yan and Tang Feng to leave immediately at this time, so they also waited with Zhao Yongshi. They spent half an hour or two hours, and there was no sign of Taiwanese at all. This time, they were fooled by others by playing hard to get. Therefore, people should not be too greedy and greedy. People who love to take advantage of small gains are most likely to be fooled. Zhao Yongshi had to admit that he was unlucky and could get a doctorate with a tuition fee of 800,000 yuan.

There are so many things in this world. Didn’t you hear that the real turtle is called “turtle”?

Chen Yan sincerely comforted Zhao Yongshi and left with Tang Feng. Tang Feng did not comfort Zhao Yongshi. At this time, nothing to say was unnecessary.

On the way home, Chen Yan asked Tang Feng: "Tang Feng, how did you see it?"

Tang Feng said: "The painting style is wrong. The first year of Wanli was 1573. Think about it, will a person who killed his wife and went to prison for seven years still have the mentality of wanting to be appreciated? Xu Wei has been abolished since he was imprisoned. His later works do not have this kind of elegant and elegant characteristics. The painter is first of all, and his works can clearly reflect his life situation."

In ancient times, killing a righteous wife was a serious crime. Xu Wei was released from prison after the first year of the reign of the world. After that, he traveled around Jinling, Xuanliao, Beijing, and then passed by Juyongguan to Xuanhua Prefecture and other places. After wandering outside for four years, Xu Wei returned to his hometown and stayed in his door and died in 1593. The ancient and modern genius finally ended up in a sad life.

During the Ming Dynasty, Chinese art was in a special stage of the collision of two consciousnesses: learning ancient times and innovation. Ink and wash freehand painting developed rapidly. Xu Wei became the most accomplished freehand painting master at that time with his unique talent. His freehand flowers were wild with their brushes and ink, and they were not bound by their shapes, and they were a natural one. They did not simply pursue the appearance of objects and created a new style of freehand painting ink and wash.

Thinking of Xu Wei's enthusiasm at the beginning, thinking about his poor and destitute back body, literati are not suitable for being an official. It was because of the Hu Zongxian case that Xu Wei was so anxious that he eventually caused mental illness and killed his wife. The cruel official struggle drove a genius crazy.

"Oh, how can people today understand the pressure that people in ancient times endure? How could that cruelty be explained in just a few words? Didn't Su Dongpo want to commit suicide several times when he was demoted to Huangzhou? It's just that he is not crazy." Tang Feng smiled bitterly and turned to look out the car window. Although this country still has various problems, it has been moving forward.

Tang Feng and Chen Yan returned to China Stone. Lin Muyu, who was busy, took time to come over and asked Tang Feng: "What good baby have you seen?"

Tang Feng said: "What kind of treasure is simply treasure."

"Oh, I thought I could look at the diorama, but I finally saw someone fooling around." Chen Yan shook his head and walked away.

Lin Muyu said to Tang Feng: "Hey, Tang Feng, an old man was looking for you just now."

"It's not my grandfather, is it?" Tang Feng asked Lin Muyu.

Lin Muyu said: "No, it's an old lady who just came from Hebei. The old man came over from all the way to ask you to appraise her treasures. She watched your show and said that you have a clear vision."

"I came here specially? Isn't it a liar again?" Tang Feng was scared recently. Now this liar is developing towards the two extremes of aging and younger age. Having said that, Tang Feng still asked: "Where are people?"

Lin Muyu said: "They have been traveling for a long time and can't wait for you. They go to the hotel to rest. I took a look at that thing. It has the potential of a national treasure and it has definitely been unearthed for a while."

"Can you understand?" Tang Feng looked disbelieved.
