"So I can't make up my mind, it's just a feeling!" said only to take another sip of wine.

Yu Yao tilted his head, looked at Cai Zhihuang and said, "I always thought that you were the kind of person who 'lived in a hundred flowers and didn't stick to a leaf', and when you encounter this kind of distress, you should cut it in two." ”

In fact, without this kind of distress, maybe a quarrel can be cut in two. With this distress, I focused more on her, and as a result, I fell deeper and deeper. Cai Zhihuang looked at Yu Yao, "The old man told me that if there is something that can't be decided, I can ask you, but you don't seem to be able to help with this matter." ”

"I can't help now, but ······ But not since. Besides, how long have you been better, and you can't get to the point of talking about marriage, right?"

"You mean nothing more than let me drag it?"

"Maybe it won't be long. ”

"You seem to know something. ”

"If I knew, I'd tell you. Yu Yao really didn't know. He just thought of the person who patted the firewood kiln table. If Xia Zhu is their person, then the purpose of approaching Cai Juan and approaching him may be the same.

However, there is no basis for this, and there is not even a clue. At the very least, you will have to wait until you take over the table to get more information, and you may not be able to get any information when you take over the table.

"Okay. But speaking of which, I seem to feel better. ”

Stop drinking and go back to the hotel.

The next morning was a special session of calligraphy and painting, Yu Yao and Shen Ge went, but Zhihuang didn't go, Xu was still sleeping in the room, because he drank much more than Yu Yao.

Zhong Yu and Xian Dan didn't go either. Zhong Yu is really not interested, but he doesn't go mainly because of Xian Dan, Xian Dan is still a child after all, he went for two days, and he also saw the porcelain he was most interested in, so he felt bored and wanted to go shopping on Hong Kong Island, so Zhong Yu accompanied him and bought some things for him by the way. A large part of Zhong Yu's intentions for Xian Dan is because of Zhong Qiansu.

Yu Yao went because he was interested in a painting by the Ming Dynasty painter Wu Bin.

This is a Buddha statue hanging scroll, and it is also one of the most popular paintings and calligraphy auctions on the day. A considerable number of people are very enthusiastic about the collection of sacred immortals and Buddhas, and for superficial reasons, they want to ask God to worship Buddha to bless themselves.

Yu Yao is not this kind of person, he is interested in Wu Bin.

Wu Bin was a painter in the late Ming Dynasty, and in terms of conventional titles, he was not as good as the four Ming families, but the name, especially the conventional name, sometimes did not reflect the strength.

Wu Bin's name is actually not small, but the layman knows a little less.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Wu Bin is a master of Chinese painting. His works are dominated by landscapes and Buddha statues, and in his later years, he painted the most Buddha statues and became more proficient in brushwork. The Buddha statue has a strange shape and is self-contained.

And Wu Bin is not an ordinary painter, he is a court painter. In the Ming Dynasty, there was no academy system, and the so-called court painters were generally subordinate to ministries and provinces. During the Wanli period, Wu Bin was summoned by Zhu Yijun, the emperor of Wanli, and taught him to serve as a scholar and the director of the Ministry of Industry, and asked him to worship the inner court.

Many of Wu Bin's paintings are now included in major museums. And the people who went to the people also sold at too high prices. Ten years ago, his work "Eighteen True Picture Scrolls" was auctioned for a high price of 169 million. Ying Zhen is roughly the meaning of Arhat, and Eighteen Ying Zhen is eighteen Arhats.

Of course, the price of calligraphy and painting is not simply because of the author himself, this is only a basic and lower limit, how high the upper limit can be, it also depends on the subject matter and size, but also depends on whether it is a proud work, how to play, and many other factors. For example, the same works of Qi Baishi, there are hundreds of millions, and there are hundreds of thousands.

This Buddha statue hanging scroll, Yu Yao saw it in the preview, and there was no problem. The painting started at 8 million and sold for more than 60 million.

This was not the highest price of the day. The highest price is not an ancient Chinese painting, but a modern work or an oil painting.

Moreover, this oil painting has no title, and is marked with "Untitled".

"Untitled" sold for 137 million.

This is a Zao Wou-Ki work.

Strictly speaking, Zao Wou-Ki was not Chinese, or he was a French-Chinese. Born in Yenching in 1921, he studied painting in Hangzhou as a teenager, and later went to many European countries before becoming a French citizen in the sixties. The dual background of his paintings makes his paintings have both Eastern spirit and Western imagery, and some of the oil paintings have no title or are based on digital dates.

Before his death, Zao Wou-Ki was known as the world's most valuable Chinese artist, with tens of millions of works sold abound, reaching a maximum of 450 million.

Zao Wou-Ki not only has a high artistic achievement, but also has a close relationship with many art masters.

When he was a teenager, he studied painting at the Hangzhou Art School, and the person in charge of the art school at that time was the famous Lin Fengmian, and there were many famous artists such as Pan Tianshou and Wu Dayu who had instructed Zao Wou-ki. Zao Wou-Ki and Zhang Daqian are also good friends.

When Zao Wou-Ki arrived in France, he had his own studio in the southern gallery, adjacent to the studio of an eighty-year-old man. Although this old man is very old, he is still obsessed with painting, so intoxicated that even his own children are rare.

However, the old man had a great relationship with Zao Wou-Ki, and sometimes when he didn't see Zao Wou-Ki in the gallery, he would ask the others, "Is that short Huaxia man here?"

This old man in his eighties is named Picasso.

Someone once commented on Zao Wou-ki, saying that his artistic achievements were no less than those of Qi Baishi and Xu Beihong, and his contribution to Western art exchanges also surpassed that of Zhang Daqian.

Yu Yaoyu is not a connoisseur of oil painting, but Zao Wou-Ki's "Untitled" has aroused his great attention, because the person who took it was actually Xie Hanwen.

Yu Yao had never seen Xie Hanwen before, but he had seen Xie Hanwen's pictures and related images, and because of Xie Zhihao, he had specially looked for and watched them.

This painting was taken by Xie Hanwen himself, and he himself looks older than what Yu Yao saw in the pictures and videos, but compared to ordinary septuagenarians, he still looks young.

Yu Yao didn't see Xie Zhihao, and the person next to Xie Hanwen was a calm middle-aged man in his fifties, who should be a driver or assistant or something, obviously it couldn't be Xie Zhiying.

After the middle of the auction, Xie Hanwen left quickly without a moment's stay.

In the calligraphy and painting field in the morning, there are not many things, but there are many fine products, Yu Yao looked at it at the same time, and also calculated the price trend.

After the end of the show, Yu Yao received a call from Cai Zhihuang: "Have you gone to the auction site?"

"Just finished, let me invite you to lunch?"

"Why don't you call me, didn't you say it was okay last night?"

"Okay, I don't remember exactly. ”

"Forget it, let me ask you, who took Zao Wou-ki's oil paintings?"
