In fact, Wu Duo's skills in calligraphy and painting are not very good.

But calligraphy and painting are the major items in antiques after all, and Wu Duohao has also seen a lot of materials and albums.

Wang Mian is a very famous painter, "History of the Ming Dynasty" with "biography" characters, and he is called "Plum Blossom Library"; his plum blossoms are very distinctive, and they are also a bit like the character of Wang Mian.

Wang Mian has an arrogant personality and contempts for the powerful, and the plum blossoms he paints have a very vigorous vitality and are full of power.

The ink plum picture in front of Wu Duo's eyes, although it is also painted luxuriantly, reveals a sense of femininity.

At best, it can only be similar in form and not in god.

It's really painted by Wang Mian's confidante if it's not good, Wu Duo thought so, and then listened to it.

As a result, half guessed right.

It was indeed the work of a woman, but it was not a contemporary of the crown.

This painting is from the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and the author turned out to be one of Qin Huai Bayan!

Dong Xiaowan!

Dong Bai, the word Xiaowan, also known as Qinglian, alias Qinglian Female History.

Qinglian, Qinglian Female History, there is a saying that Dong Xiaowan later came up by herself, precisely because she admired the "Qinglian Layman" Li Bai.

Qin Huai Bayan, all of them are beauties, and all of them are outstanding.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Nanjing's ten miles of Qinhuai was a very interesting place.

It's not that interesting.

On both sides of the Qinhuai River, on one side is the Jiangnan Gongyuan, that is, the general examination room of the Southern Entrance Examination, and on the other side, it is a gathering place for famous teachers. The contrast is interesting.

Qin Huai Bayan is talking about the eight famous tricks in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and the Yangzhou Eight Monsters are actually more than eight people, Qin Huai Bayan is eight people; although there are several versions, but each version is eight people.

No matter which version, there is Dong Xiaowan.

Dong Xiaowan was originally from Suzhou. Suzhou embroidery is very famous, at that time there was a "Dong family embroidery village" in Suzhou, Suzhou embroidery family, family conditions can be imagined, and it can be regarded as a scholarly family.

Why is Dong Xiaowan's surname Dong Mingbai? Because her mother's surname is Bai.

In ancient times, it was rare to combine the surnames of parents to give names, because of the low status of women. This also shows a problem, Dong Xiaowan's mother, Bai, has a very high status in the Dong family.

It is said that the Bai family is a talented girl, so Dong Xiaowan was also trained into a talented girl.

fell into a famous teacher's house, there must be something wrong at home. When Dong Xiaowan was thirteen years old, his father died of illness. The mother was overly sad, Xiuzhuang had problems again, and she fell ill in bed, and she was also in debt.

In the end, when Dong Xiaowan was fifteen years old, he came to the painting boat on the bank of the Qinhuai River to perform art.

Dong Xiaowan has a lot of folk tales, which triggered the open and secret competition of celebrities and wealthy people, and finally married a graceful and wealthy man who risked the frontier as a concubine. Later, he encountered war and the defeat of his family, and Dong Xiaowan died before he was thirty years old.

Dong Xiaowan has a lot of talents, even cooking skills, and also created "Dong Meat" and "Dong Sugar".

But now, Wu Duo is focusing on Dong Xiaowan's paintings.

Dong Xiaowan's painting was learned in Suzhou, what kind of place is Suzhou?

This Momei, although it can't be compared with the crown, is also a unique charm.

Ten years ago, Dong Xiaowan's "Picture of the Passing of a Lonely Mountain" was auctioned for more than 3 million yuan.

But painting is not the same as painting, even if it is the same person.

The value of Wu Duo's painting in front of him cannot be compared with that of the Lonely Mountain, which is a masterpiece and larger in size, as well as a large number of celebrity inscriptions and collector's seals.

This "Momeitu" is almost square, and the side length cannot even reach a foot, which is still a deliberate imitation of Wang Mian's work, and is not a masterpiece in Dong Xiaowan's paintings. Moreover, there may be controversy.

Wu Duo's valuation is not high, two or three hundred thousand.

"This painting is very beautiful, how much do we want to pay for it?" After Wu Duo finished reading it, he first handed the painting back to the middle-aged man before asking.

The middle-aged man should be very fast, but not the price, "When do you think this is the painting?"

Because he is not a person in the industry, Wu Duo didn't care about asking this kind of question, "I can't see it accurately, I can only say that it is not a modern work." ”

"And how much can you pay?" asked the middle-aged woman.

"I'm sure the less I'll sell, the better, and you'll have to make a price. Wu Duoying said.

Xu Youren saw that the momentum was not very good, and interjected and asked, "Didn't you two discuss it?"

"Doctor Xu, we didn't know that you brought someone here so soon!"

Wu Duo thought about it, it seems that this business can be done enough today, there are more and less, I am afraid it is very troublesome, mainly because Xu Youren is caught in the middle, and it is easy for them to find Xu Youren if there is anything.

If it is cheap, I am afraid that they will find the back account, and if it is about the same as the valuation, it will not mean much. This kind of painting, Wu Duo has no intention of collecting, and he is also a hand-over when he collects it.

"That's it, I've seen the things, if you can't set the price today, just sum it up, and let's talk about it." ”

"You just say how much you can come up with, right?" The middle-aged man glanced at his wife before asking Wu Duo.

Wu Duo also looked at Xu Youren before replying, "You sell things, and you don't bid for anything, and I don't dare to come out." Let's talk about it after you have it all figured it out. ”

When Wu Duo said it, he was actually quite gentle, and he still had a polite smile on his face, but after saying it twice and letting them sum it up, the middle-aged woman's face became very unsightly.

"Then we want a million, can you afford it?" she snapped.

Wu Duo was stunned for a moment, "One million? ”

I made up my mind right now, this business cannot be done.

"Uncle Xu, look, I can't afford it, so I'll leave first. Wu Duo nodded to Xu Youren, and then arched his hand to the middle-aged couple, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb me tonight." ”

With that, he walked straight to the door.

The two of them didn't stay, Xu Youren looked at it and said to the two of them, "Okay, I'll go first." ”

Wu Duo was in front and Xu Youren was behind, went out of the door on the sixth floor, and came to the fifth floor, Xu Youren pulled Wu Duo into the house and sat down.

"Uncle Xu, they don't want to sell it at all today, they want to probe the price from my mouth!" Wu Duo didn't wait for Xu Youren to ask, so he opened his mouth first, "You don't know about the things in the antique shop. In addition, these two people are afraid that they are on top, so forget about this painting. ”

"I just wanted to ask you. Xu Youren sighed, "Okay, if you don't accept it, you won't accept it." ”

"Uncle Xu, I also advise you, don't help them introduce buyers again. Wu Duo said again, "Let's not say if they are grateful or not, they can't eat mutton, and it's uncomfortable to make a fuss again." ”

"I just know you before I ask, and I don't know anyone else in the antique shop. Xu Youren thought for a while and lowered his voice, "But Xiao Wu, there is something I still want to ask, who is this 'Qinglian'? I'm just curious, don't worry, you tell me, I won't say anything." ”

Wu Duo smiled, "I've given up this business, what can't I say." In my opinion, it is Dong Xiaowan, a famous trick in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, her name is Qinglian, and her alias is Qinglian Jushi. ”

"Dong Xiaowan, I seem to have a little impression. Are her paintings valuable?"

"It depends on what kind of painting it is. This one is not easy to qualitate, and it is not Dong Xiaowan's masterpiece if it is qualitative, real connoisseurs are unwilling to accept it, but those who are willing to accept it may not be willing to pay a high price. ”

"Is that a million impossible?"

"I won't take a million, a hundred thousand. The actual value of this painting is two or three hundred thousand, but if they want to take it to the antique market, I guess no one will ask for more than ten thousand! And if one store comes out, the other will be even lower. ”

"The antique shop is so dark?" Xu Youren was dumbfounded.

"Well, forget it, I can't tell you clearly. ”

"According to your meaning, if you take something worth two or three hundred thousand, you can't sell it at a reasonable price?"

"The safest way is to get it to the auction house, and I'm just talking about the big auction houses. If you choose the wrong shooting line and fall into the pit, it may be even worse. Wu Duo looked at Xu Youren, "Uncle Xu, you won't go back and give them advice, right?"

"I only suggest they go to a famous big auction house, right?"
