Yu Yao continued, "You don't want us to interfere in the affairs of the porcelain capital, but Yanjing is different. Let me start by talking about some of the progress of the Devil's Eye Sect. ”

After Zhong Yu listened carefully, "In other words, it's almost the water word now?"

"That's right. ”

"You are really powerful!" Zhong Yu sighed, "In such a short time, I have found so many people!"

"It's all luck. Yu Yao also sighed, "That's how it happened." However, the situation of the oral transmission of each character varies, and none of them know where the secret is. If the oral heirloom of the water character can't find it, or doesn't know where the vault is, then it's troublesome. ”

"I heard my uncle say at the time, the water character is good, and my grandfather (Zhong Bailian) has the closest relationship, and my grandfather's painting work has also received some guidance from him. By the way, this person has a characteristic, he likes women very much, especially the plump shape. ”

"Huh, you mean, there may be more offspring?"

"You're jumping a little hard. I don't mean that, what I want to say is that he liked to paint the ladies of the Tang Dynasty back then, which is also a clue. ”

"I see. Yu Yao thought for a while, "I met a person in Yanjing, who has a good eye for calligraphy and painting, and can also draw." I don't know if it will have something to do with He Zhangyan. ”

"Oh?"

"However, Yanjing Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger has a lot of capable people. This is not to be tempted. But as soon as you talk about the ladies of the Tang Dynasty, I can use this excuse to ask him, and say that I want to buy similar paintings and see how he reacts. ”

"Well, that's a way to do it. Zhong Yu agreed, "However, don't be in a hurry. Moreover, He Shangshan likes famous mountains and rivers and natural scenery, and it is unlikely that he will stay in Yanjing. ”

"I see. Yu Yao turned to say, "Now let's talk about the demolition of Jiuding Hall." I'm talking about taking a long-term view. Now that there are so many people, I can also take advantage of the Special Cultural Relics Investigation Bureau, so I can plan carefully. ”

Zhong Yu responded, "After you introduced it just now, I will understand what you mean." However, I still don't want to rely on external forces, otherwise, if a Xiao Ying moves the real character, he may secretly use the Xuanmen technique to take the life of the lame master invisibly. Moreover, I don't want to defeat the crippled man all at once for the time being. ”

"Do you want to wait until your uncle's affairs are completely revealed?"

"Yes, after all, there is no evidence yet. ”

"However, I, Old Man Cai, Lin Fengcao, and Xiao Ying are not external forces. Not to mention anything else, the matter of the secret also requires the concerted efforts of all the oral traditions. ”

"Of course, I don't treat the word of mouth as an outsider. But the cripple master's opponent is a family affair of the Zhong family. ”

Yu Yao groaned, "Cheng Xiaonian is a lame man's leg, and he is in Yanjing, your Zhong family whip is beyond his reach." ”

"Listen to me, slowly. ”

"Okay. ”

When Yu Yao nodded, he suddenly realized that he had unconsciously regarded the heirs of each word as a relative. Zhong Yu's matter seems to be considered as a family matter.

The two exchanged a few more words and hung up the phone.

After getting up the next day, Yu Yao ate breakfast, returned to the room, hesitated for a while, and called Shangguan Yu.

Shangguan Yu was obviously surprised, "Mr. Yu?"

"Don't disturb your work, Mr. Shangguan?"

"I have a lot of freedom in my work and just got up. What do you have to say?"

"That's right, there is something I want to trouble Mr. Shangguan, it's a bit presumptuous. ”

"You're welcome. You say, see if I can help. ”

"A friend asked me to find a lady in the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Your friend's appetite is a bit big! Tang paintings are all rare treasures, not to mention the high price, the key is too difficult to find!"

Yu Yao immediately explained, "It's me who made a mistake, it's not that the year is from the Tang Dynasty, it's that the content of the painting is a lady from the Tang Dynasty." ”

"That's what it means. It doesn't want to be modern, right? Otherwise, you just need someone to draw it. ”

Yu Yao further said, "Yes, modern ones are definitely not interesting. In addition, my friend, I don't know where to find out, said that there was a painter during the Republic of China, who seemed to be very good at painting ladies in the Tang Dynasty, and the paintings in the Republic of China period are also considered to have a year, and the price is relatively acceptable. ”

"Does he know what this painter's name is?" Shangguan Yu answered quickly and naturally.

Yu Yao responded, "It seems that the surname is He, and the person is He." ”

I have never heard of such a painter who could paint the ladies of the Tang Dynasty during the Republic of China. ”

When Yu Yao heard this, Shangguan Yu still didn't show any sensitive reaction. But it's all tested to this point, you might as well just report He Shangshan's name!

Anyway, there is only a name, and it is not related to the ghost eye door. If he didn't know, then forget it, and if he knew, even if it had nothing to do with the oral tradition of the water character, maybe there would be some clues.

After making up his mind, Yu Yao continued, "I remembered it, it should be called He Shangshan." ”

"He Shangshan?" Shangguan Yu paused, "I still haven't heard of it." ”

Yu Yao couldn't ask any more, and was about to end the call after thanking him, but Shangguan Yu suddenly opened his mouth again, "However, I also remembered just now, there is a one, do you want to imitate Tang Dynasty paintings in the Republic of China?"

Yu Yao couldn't refuse at this time, "What painting?"

"The Hairpin Lady's Picture! It's okay, but it's not in my hands. And the price is not low, and I don't know what the upper limit of your friend's price is. ”

The title of "Hairpin Lady" is too big, this is the only book of Tang Dynasty lady painting, the work of the famous Tang Dynasty painter Zhou Fang. Painted in color on coarse silk, 46 cm wide and 180 cm long, the picture is a lady, without a background, except for the five ladies and one maid, and then there are dogs, white cranes and Xinyi flowers.

"Hairpin Lady" was once collected by the Southern Song Dynasty's Inner Palace, the Yuan and Ming dynasties were missing, and the Qing Dynasty was included in the Inner Palace.

The outflow of the palace is still because of Pu Yi. Pu Yi took away more than 1,000 famous paintings at that time, and with the assistance of the Japanese people, they were successively hidden in the small white building of the Jinmen Japanese Concession and the puppet Manchukuo Imperial Palace.

Later, Pu Yi fled to the Japanese kingdom, and a batch of calligraphy, painting and jewelry finally stayed in China. Among them, this "Hairpin Lady" was finally settled in the Liao Provincial Museum.

Yu Yao, who was about to end the call, listened to "The Hairpin Lady", but couldn't help asking, "Imitations of the Republic of China?

"That's for sure. I said that the imitation is okay, but in the eyes of ordinary people, it is enough to be real. Shangguan Yu's laughter was a little conceited.

Yu Yao had no choice but to follow again, "You said the price is not low, how much is it?"

"Form 6. ”

The so-called middle six is the meaning of the six-digit middle bracket, which generally refers to between 400,000 and 600,000. In the same way, the primary six is between 100,000 and 400,000, and the big six is between 600,000 and 1 million.

"Okay, then I'll thank you in advance. So, I ask my friend and call you again if he's interested, and if he doesn't call in a day, forget it. ”

"No thanks. Shangguan Yu paused, but asked in a deep voice, "Listening to Mr. Yu's meaning, I really haven't heard of this Republic of China imitation of "Hairpin Lady"?"
