Chapter 496: Show off your skills
Teacher Ren was also very happy to see Hu Yang's attitude towards him, who is not happy to be respected by others? At the same time, he thought that he was not a fan of the wrong person.
"When it comes to antique appreciation, you're the teacher. Teacher Ren smiled.
Andy and they have also learned on the road that this old man is a retired teacher, so he greets him respectfully like Hu Yang, even Xu Hong, a big star.
After greeting each other, they went to the hotel to drop off their luggage.
The hotel was booked by Xu Hong early this morning, and there was no need to trouble Hu Yang and the others at all. It was still a relatively high-level hotel, such a high-end hotel, Ye Mei was staying for the first time, and she was a little excited.
The staff of the hotel, seeing that it was Xu Hong, naturally asked for an autograph or something like that.
Sure enough, wherever the stars go, they are dazzling existences.
It took less than an hour from the village to Yixing, and it is said that Qi Hongye has not returned home yet. It can be seen that it is closer to Yixing.
After Hu Yang put away their luggage, there was still time, and it was only three o'clock in the afternoon.
But everyone was not in a hurry to go to the antique market immediately, but Teacher Ren took Hu Yang and his party to a famous place nearby, which was regarded as a play.
In the evening, I went to Teacher Ren's house for dinner.
Originally, Teacher Ren and Zhong Wenqiu rushed to ask Hu Yang and them to go to their house for dinner. Knowing that Populus euphratica was coming, Zhong Wenqiu's parents had prepared what to eat in the next few days.
Last time, because of the help of Populus euphratica, their family made a lot of money. This time, we must have to receive them well!
On Teacher Ren's side, her granddaughter is also a fan of Populus euphratica, but this is not a weekend and she has to study, so she didn't come along, but she will go home for dinner in the evening!
In the end, Hu Yang decided to go to Teacher Ren's house first, and said sorry to Zhong Wenqiu's parents on the phone.
Teacher Ren's granddaughter is only in junior high school, and now the children are growing up very quickly, and their height is about the same as Andy, and they are half a head shorter than Populus euphratica.
After the meal, Hu Yang also used Teacher Ren's study to write two words to the girl to encourage her to study hard, using Su Shi's calligraphy, but the girl was very happy. She decided to ask her grandfather to help her get it and frame it in the future.
Don't talk about her, even Teacher Ren is envious. This kind of calligraphy font is difficult for him to come across, and he wants to ask Hu Yang for a calligraphy, but he can't put it down.
There is also a personal envy, that is Ye Mei. When he learned that Brother Hu's Mobao was so valuable, he always coveted Brother Hu's Mobao, but during this time, Brother Hu had taken enough care of her, and he couldn't be too greedy, so he could only drool silently.
Teacher Ren's demeanor, Hu Yang noticed it, thought about it, and said: "While I have time, I will show off my skills to everyone, copy a painting of Tang Yin, and ask Teacher Ren to correct it." β
Well?
As soon as these words came out, even Andy, who was most familiar with Brother Hu, was surprised.
I've never heard of Brother Hu being able to paint! I don't know what level it is.
Teacher Ren's eyes lit up: "Oh, whose work are you going to copy? I'll prepare, I don't have any paint here, but it doesn't matter, my friend does, so I'll call him and ask him to send it." β
Hu Yang hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't, don't bother others! I'll just copy an ink painting of Tang Yin, and if you don't need paint, how about "Spring Mountain Companion Picture"?"
The others present were a little embarrassed because they had not heard of the painting "Spring Mountain Companion Picture".
Hu Yang explained that Tang Yin's ink paintings on paper are now in the Magic City Museum.
The whole picture is completed in ink, and the painting shows the scenery of the mountains in spring. In the painting, thousands of trees bloom in the mountains, and the curved fences are reflected, and the early spring sunshine gives people a warm feeling. The painter paints the mountains beautiful and clear, with soft linen, focusing on ink rendering, which is easy to see bright and funny, and the whole picture has a naΓ―ve and faint interest.
The picture uses the pen and ink of the Yuan people to write the mountains and rivers, but it has the style of landscape painting in the Song Dynasty, and the location management is also unique.
After saying that, Teacher Ren's granddaughter had already searched for the painting on the Internet with her mobile phone.
"Look, it's this painting, Brother Hu, don't you see it?"
Hu Yang glanced at it, smiled and nodded: "Well! But I rarely paint, I don't know if the level has improved, if you don't draw well, forgive me!"
Xu Hong took the lead in applauding: "Brother Hu, you are really versatile. To be honest, my level of painting is still in elementary school. β
The audience in the live broadcast room also ridiculed themselves, anyway, they were all miserable, all of them were masters of abstraction, but no one appreciated it.
"My nephews, who are still in kindergarten, are better at drawing than me. β
"Anyway, I'm insulated from art, and I want to kill myself when I see it. β
"I'm afraid, my level has reached the peak, I can't understand it, I don't know if there is an expert to help identify it? β
......
Everyone looked at the painting on the Internet, and sure enough, the whole picture was painted in ink, and there was no other paint.
To copy this painting, these supplies in front of me are enough, and there is no need to add anything. Everyone is looking forward to Brother Hu's performance, of course, many people are even expecting Brother Hu to smash his paintings, so that Brother Hu will be on the same level as them.
Teacher Ren helped spread out a piece of rice paper, and pressed it with a paperweight on both sides.
The two paperweights, which he bought at the antique market, were made of mahogany. Just now, Populus euphratica also made an appraisal for him, which belongs to the paperweight of the late Qing Dynasty.
Similar to the four treasures of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, paperweight can be called the "little five" in the ancient literati room. In the study, ancient literati often put small bronze and jade objects on the desk to admire, and at the same time used to press paper or books.
Ming Dynasty paperweight, its shape is mostly ruler-shaped, there are animal buttons, consistent with the literature, such as copper tiger button paperweight, rectangular ruler-shaped base, there is a squatting tiger head, the tiger head carving is delicate and realistic, and the tiger tail is freehand and rough.
The copper paperweight of the Qing Dynasty was innovative while following the style of the Ming Dynasty, especially with the progress of technology, the paperweight with a very strong decorative taste began to appear, which can be described as a collection of ornamental and practical.
In the modeling, due to the literati printing, the wind of carving inkstone and the wide application of couplets, the paperweight is also mainly in the form of long strips, but also in the form of pairs, engraved with poetry aphorisms, or painting bamboo, plum chrysanthemum, etc., both practical, and artistic appreciation, especially in the study where the furnishings are very exquisite, the paperweight reflects the owner's hobbies, tastes, etc., when there is the finishing touch.
In front of me, Mr. Ren's pair of paperweights are carved with a sentence on them: There is a road in the book mountain, and there is no end to the hard work of learning the sea!
Populus euphratica valued the pair at between 20,000 and 30,000.
