Chapter 311: The Night Owl of Ancient Times

Wen Wenhao and the others also noticed Hu Yang's eyes, so they asked, "Is there something wrong with that thing?"

I saw that it was a man who came in, holding something rolled in a newspaper in his hand, and blindly guessed that it might be ancient calligraphy and paintings. It seems that they come in not to buy things, but to sell things.

"Boss, do you want to collect ancient calligraphy and paintings?" he asked first.

The owner of the antique shop glanced at what he was holding, but he couldn't see anything because the newspaper was rolled.

"It depends on what kind of ancient calligraphy and painting, as long as the quality is good, the price of our store must be fair. Since you have found our store, you should have heard of the reputation of this store. ”

The man let out an "um", then opened the newspaper, revealing a scroll, and handed it to the shopkeeper.

The owner of the antique shop opened it to an ancient painting, a typical landscape painting. He looked at the inscription, it was the work of the Qing Dynasty painter Cha Shibiao, it was very well preserved, and he could see that he usually maintained this painting well.

"How do I know if there's a problem at such a distance?" said Hu Yang with a shrug. Moreover, it was wrapped in newspaper just now, who can know if it is true or not?

In fact, the treasure hunt eye has long seen that it is a genuine painting.

"Wait a minute, I'll have to do it. The shopkeeper hurriedly said.

"Please hurry, I'm short on time, if you don't want it, I'll have to go somewhere else." This painting is handed down from my family's ancestors, and although I can't read it, it's certainly not a fake. The man explained.

The owner of the antique shop did not speak, and nine of the ten people who sold ancient calligraphy and paintings were talking about ancestral treasures.

He immediately began to do the identification, and even looked at the poplar who was still drinking tea.

"Let's go over and see!" said Shen Tuxin.

He is more enthusiastic about ancient calligraphy and painting, and when he sees such an opportunity, he is unwilling to miss it.

Seeing a group of people approaching, the man selling the painting frowned.

The owner of the antique shop explained to him: "They are all my friends, and they have some eyesight, so I don't mind if they look at them too? ”

Hearing this, the man selling the painting hesitated for a moment before nodding: "Hurry up!"

Seeing the payment, Shen Tuxin's mind immediately recalled Cha Shibiao's information. He has an impression of this painter of the Qing Dynasty, and he has seen one of his characters before.

Chashi marked Mei Gully scattered people, lazy old, born at the end of the Ming Dynasty, rich family collection, so fine identification, good at painting landscapes, one of the four families of Haiyang.

This man was not only good at painting, but also a poet, calligrapher, and connoisseur.

Speaking of which, they can be regarded as peers, but they are old-timers of the Qing Dynasty.

Shen Tuxin didn't know much about his paintings, after all, he hadn't seen them before. But the calligraphy is quite good, Cha Shibiao's calligraphy is good at line calligraphy and cursive writing, and the book is out of rice, Dong, chasing Yan Zhenqing, which is quite essential. When it was called rice, Dong regeneration, the name of the world.

In fact, if you know this person, you will know that this is also an unlucky rush.

Cha Shibiao is a talent in the Ming Dynasty, and he has not been lifted yet, and the Ming Dynasty said that there will be no more. All of a sudden, there was a change of dynasty. After entering the Qing Dynasty, he did not continue to take the imperial examination, but concentrated on calligraphy, painting and other arts.

Because of his good family background and his lazy personality, not being an official doesn't seem to have much impact on him.

Focusing on the painting in front of him, Rao is Xiao Gao, who has a low appreciation ability, and also saw that although there is not much brush and ink in this painting, the clouds, mountains, smoke trees, and landscape scenery are looming, giving people an ethereal feeling.

This kind of perception is actually a kind of realm of painting, which can be said to be verve, which is quite rare.

It is not difficult to resemble the form, and many painters can do it, however, to paint the verve, that is the realm. This is also the criterion that distinguishes an ordinary painter from a master painter.

"This painting feels amazing. Xiao Gao said.

Hearing this, the man who sold the painting immediately felt good and seemed to be relieved, and glanced out of the door.

"Cha Shibiao's work is naturally remarkable. Shen Tuxin agreed.

"Cha? Do you have this surname?" Andy almost thought it was a foreigner's name when he heard it.

"After checking, there are not many people with this surname, and they are ranked very last among the hundred surnames. Shen Tuxin explained.

Hu Yang does not think so: "There are many people who check their surnames, and there should be one or two million people in the whole country." This is more than the population of many ethnic minorities in China, and among the celebrities of modern times, there are two founding generals with the surname Cha.

Cha Shibiao is an interesting person, a night owl who often sleeps during the day and paints at night. It's just that his family is a rich and noble family, and the poor play like him, and waste lamp oil at night, and they must not be scolded to death?"

When many people who were watching the live broadcast heard this, they immediately laughed, and they liked Brother Hu's not very serious explanation.

When Shen Tuxin and the others heard this, they couldn't cry or laugh, and they were powerless to refute. The Chasbiao he knew was indeed such a person. Even in his old age, an old man, there is no such thing as going to bed early and getting up early, but people live to be over eighty years old, which is unreasonable.

At this time, the owner of the store has basically confirmed.

Cha Shibiao's works, the composition is mostly geometric, with the pen to straight and square folded lines, similar to Ni Yunlin, but the content is slightly different, his paintings are clear and refreshing.

Moreover, his paintings are known for their landscapes, drawing a wide range of materials, and beside dead wood, bamboo and stone, etc., there are two main artistic styles.

One belongs to the vertical and horizontal, rough and luxurious all the way, mostly with ink and wash Yunshan as the theme, the cloud mountain smoke tree of the teacher Mi father and son, the brushwork is absurd, the rendering is combined with the dry ink color, and the ink method of Dong Qichang Xiurun Gaohua is integrated, and the roughness shows a hearty feeling.

The other kind of brush and ink is sharp, the style is dry and jerky, and it is mainly imitation of Ni Zhan's landscape. There are also some works that have different appearances because they imitate different ancients. His predecessors commented that his paintings lacked bold spirit and innovative spirit.

The one in front of me belongs to the former.

In addition to the inscription, those that can prove that they are the authentic handwritings of Cha Shibiao, as well as those seals.

Historical figures such as Dai Xi's private seal, Alcohol Shi, Renhu Sun's appreciation, Hu Fan, Weiran Room, Zhu Lin, Lazy Fetish, and Tongjianlou Brothers have all left their own collection seals on it.

This shows that this painting was once obtained by these people, and there is a basis.

"How's it going?" the man selling the painting was a little impatient.

The antique shop owner thought for a moment and asked, "How much are you going to ask?"

"Two hundred thousand, how about it?" The man who sold the painting seemed to be really anxious to get rid of the painting.

Originally, the shopkeeper was ready to hemorrhage, but when he heard that it was only 200,000, he immediately became vigilant and took a serious look at the person.

The shopkeeper is dozens of years old and has a lot of experience, so it is easy to see the panic in that person's eyes.

So, he shook his head: "Then you better find another house!

The man who sold the painting frowned, very upset, and glanced out the door again.

"Hmph, you don't want it, someone wants it. With that, he walked out without hesitation.

This scene happened a bit suddenly, and many people didn't react. Especially Shen Tu believed in them, they looked at that painting, it didn't seem to be fake!

Moreover, according to their understanding of Cha Shibiao, such a famous painter in the Qing Dynasty, a work of 200,000 yuan, should be far more than that, right?

"Is there a problem with that painting?" asked Shen Tuxin in surprise.

If it were him, if he had the money, he would probably buy it and be very optimistic about the painting.

Hu Yang smiled: "The painting is no problem, it is the authentic work of Cha Shibiao." However, there is a problem with people. ”

Belch!

"What's the problem?" Xiao Gao was puzzled.

At this time, the owner of the antique shop echoed Hu Yang's words and nodded: "Xiao Hu is right! That painting is probably coming from the wrong way, the person is likely to be a thief, and the painting is probably stolen." ”

He is quite sensitive to such things, after all, he is doing business openly.

Strictly speaking, it seems that it is no problem to acquire a stolen ancient painting. But if the owner is found, it will definitely be a lot of trouble, and there will be no need to do business at that time.

If it's a sneaky acquisition, it's okay, just deal with it as soon as possible. However, in front of so many people in Populus, he didn't want to take any chances.

Cha Shibiao's landscape paintings, one million are very normal. That guy only needs 200,000, which also shows something wrong.

"Thief?" Andy and the others were surprised again.

What surprised them even more was how Brother Hu and the shopkeeper could see that they were thieves?

"Brother Hu, how do you see it?" Xiao Gao was stunned for a long time and couldn't help but ask.

Hu Yang didn't answer him immediately, but looked at the owner of the antique shop: "Brother, do you know Chen Yin?"

The owner of the antique shop immediately remembered that among the collection seals just now, the last seal seemed to be Chen Yin. Who Chen Yin was, of course he knew, a rich man near them.

He nodded: "Yes, I have dealt with it, the owner of the tea garden." I'll give you a call and ask. ”

After speaking, ignoring the puzzled eyes of Andy and others, he began to call.

Hu Yang explained to them: "The painting just now has a new seal, which should have been stamped not long ago. If I'm not mistaken, it's his missing painting.

Moreover, from the moment that guy came in, something was wrong, and his eyes were always looking out. In my opinion, there should be someone watching the wind outside. ”

Yes!

Everyone stared wide-eyed, and the audience in the live broadcast room was also shocked by Brother Hu's observation and judgment. If the truth is really as Brother Hu said, it will be too exciting.

"Brother Hu's observation is too terrifying, he can be a policeman. ”

"Brother Hu's eyesight has always been terrifying, and you don't know it. ”

"Indeed, strictly speaking, people who are good at treasure appreciation have a very subtle sense of observation. However, I still serve Brother Hu, it's so awesome, I have goosebumps!"

……

While they were discussing, the owner of the antique shop had already hung up the phone and nodded slightly to Hu Yang: "Boss Chen's family really lost a lot of things, including the painting just now." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, go and catch someone!" Wen Wenhao immediately shouted, his eyes were already looking outside, and he was about to run out.

The owner of the antique shop smiled: "Don't worry, they can't run away, Boss Chen will deal with it." Later, he will come here and thank everyone in person, and you all don't leave yet. ”

Just now, he learned that Boss Chen's house was stolen yesterday, because there were more property involved, and after reporting the case, the police station had attached great importance to it.

But I never expected that the other party was so rampant, and he actually sold stolen goods around here, and his heart was too big.
