Chapter 481: Jin Bosheng

Seven stars arch north, and the heirs are all in place.

The Ghost Eye Gate Secret Treasure has resurfaced, and I don't know when, but everyone has been on the road together.

After lunch, when the seven of them were drinking tea in the living room, Shangguan Yu said something, "I didn't know that Mr. Xu Taiyan was the big palm of the ghost eye, but a few days ago, I happened to get a piece of calligraphy, and I also mentioned Mr. Xu." ”

"Oh, it can't be for Mr. Xu, right?" Yu Yao couldn't help but think of the "unique insight" that Yi Peiji gave to Xu Taiyan, but after the exit, he secretly denied it, how could Mr. Xu "lose" things so easily?

"It's not. ”

Sure enough, Shangguan Yu also denied it, "This calligraphy, when the payment was made, the sentence 'Yiyou Qingming remembers Mr. Xu Taiyan', and the payment was made by Jin Bosheng." ”

"Jin Bosheng?" Yu Yao had an impression of him.

"Yes. Jin Bosheng's fame is mainly in the calligraphy and painting appraisal and antique circles, so his calligraphy, I can be considered to have picked up a small leak. Shangguan Yu said, "I had heard of Mr. Xu before, but I never imagined that he was actually the big palm of the ghost eye! Judging from the content of the calligraphy, Jin Bosheng and Mr. Xu should have a great relationship. ”

Jin Bosheng's fame is indeed mainly in the antique circle.

Like Xu Taiyan, he also opened a store in Liulichang, but it was late. Jin Bosheng was apprenticed in Jinmen South Paper Shop, and later mainly engaged in calligraphy and painting business, and then went to Yanjing to develop.

Jin Bosheng was in Yanjing, and at first he rented a house and ran a business. It wasn't until 1943 that he had his own shop in Liulichang, and he took over someone else's, and the name of the shop was Paper, and he didn't change its name after taking over. However, after taking over, he took off the old plaque and replaced it with the "Essay Zhai" plaque written by himself.

During the Republic of China, the antique shop of Liulichang attached great importance to the plaque, and the original plaque of the paper was also written by a calligrapher, but Jin Bosheng was able to replace his own words, which shows that he boasted of his calligraphy level.

At the same time, Jin Bosheng has a wide range of contacts, because he is in the calligraphy and painting business, and has a lot of dealings with many calligraphers and painters. Especially with Zhang Daqian, the relationship is extraordinary, Zhang Daqian also pointed out Jin Bosheng's calligraphy and painting.

In the twenties of the last century, Jin Bosheng imitated the paintings of Shi Tao and Wang Hui on behalf of Zhang Daqian in Yanjing. Jin Bosheng has a very high eyesight in calligraphy and painting, and it is said that he once said bluntly to Zhang Daqian, your level is no less than Shi Tao and Wang Hui. Later, others also said so, and Zhang Daqian no longer fell into the original paragraph, but directly fell into his own name.

Jin Bosheng has a lot of famous paintings, especially after the fall of the puppet Manchukuo, he once partnered with others and went to the northeast to buy the famous paintings that flowed out of the "Little White Building". It is said that one of Fan Zhongyan's handwritten books "Praise of Taoist Costumes" was purchased by Zhang Boju at a high price of 110 taels of gold.

Jin Bosheng's evening scene is relatively bleak. In the early sixties of the last century, Jin Bosheng was in trouble because of his life, and Zhang Daqian, who was overseas, once sent him two paintings, but for various reasons, Jin Bosheng did not dare to pick them up. A few years later, Jin Bosheng was escorted back to his hometown for "liquidation", and finally became ill and died of illness.

Yu Yao knew a little more about Jin Bosheng, while Cai Pengxi and Teng Kunwu knew more than Yu Yao, but they didn't know that Jin Bosheng actually had a good relationship with Xu Taiyan.

"The year of the second unitary, that is 1945. Cai Pengxi then asked, "Do you remember the content of the calligraphy?"

"Clear. It seems that it should be a seven-character quatrain written by himself, so it is easy to remember. Shangguan Yu then chanted:

"Before the wind passes through the fast, sweep away the dark dust, and the old street is silent, how many are new? The dawn has sighed in the troubled times, and a generation of grandmasters is the old man!"

After Shangguan Yu finished groaning, along with himself, everyone was silent.

After a long time, Cai Pengxi sighed, "In the Qingming Festival in 1945, the defeat of the Japanese invaders has been revealed, and China has shown the dawn, but it is a pity that I will never see the first generation of grandmaster Mr. Xu Taiyan again!"

Yu Yao's face was solemn, but he secretly said in his heart, this Jin Bosheng sounds like he knows Xu Taiyan's efforts in protecting cultural relics and fighting against the Japanese people, so does he know the real cause of Mr. Xu Taiyan's death?

Thinking of this, Yu Yao couldn't help but smile bitterly, even if he knew, it was useless, because Jin Bosheng had already become an old man.

Teng Kunwu opened his mouth at this time, "Although Jin Bosheng has long since passed away. But what Shangguan said also gave us an idea, that is, the people who had dealings with Mr. Xu Taiyan and all kinds of people back then, especially celebrities, might leave some clues. They don't know the Devil's Eye Secrets, but we do! From the items left behind, or from the verifiable words and deeds, some valuable clues may be deduced. ”

Yu Yao nodded, "This is indeed true. Before, about Taidian Fangding, I analyzed certain clues from a calligraphy given to Dazhangyan by Mr. Yi Peiji. ”

Because of this topic, Yu Yao couldn't help mentioning the name "Xuan He" again.

Zheng Wenzhi said before that Xu Taiyan once used the seal of "genuine Xuanhe", but Yu Yao asked Xiao Ying, Lin Fengcao, and Cai Pengxi, but they all didn't know. Teng Kunwu and Zhong Yu, Yu Yao didn't ask, but neither of them mentioned it before.

Yu Yao said this, Teng Kunwu and Zhong Yu really didn't know.

Zheng Wenzhi didn't say much about this at the time. It may be because of the discipline of secrecy, but it is not excluded that he also knows much.

Unexpectedly, when Yu Yao said this, Shangguan Yu slapped his thigh, "The real Xuanhe? This is the seal that Mr. Xu once used?

"Have you seen it?!" the crowd almost said in unison.

"It's on the calligraphy of Jin Bosheng that I said!" Shangguan Yu explained, "I thought it was strange at the time, because it was printed on the position of the idle seal in the upper right corner, but it was a square seal about the size of Jin Bosheng's famous seal! It turned out to be a special commemoration of Mr. Xu Taiyan!"

"In 1945, Mr. Xu was already ······ In other words, the seal of this 'genuine Xuanhe' is in Jin Bosheng's hands!" Yu Yao said.

"That's for sure, otherwise he wouldn't have been printed. It's just that Mr. Xu's seal, why is it in his hand?" Shangguan Yu groaned.

"It is very likely that he knows the real cause of Mr. Xu's death!" Yu Yao sighed, "It's just a pity, Jin Bosheng has also passed away for half a century!"

Cai Pengxi said solemnly, "Finding out the real cause of Mr. Xu's death is also what we should do!"

Teng Kunwu looked at Yu Yao, "Special Cultural Relics Investigation Bureau, will it know the real cause of Mr. Xu's death?"

"I don't know. When I was in contact with Yang Sihai and others, I asked many times, and although I didn't answer in detail, I could basically judge. ”

"Then will this seal be in the Special Cultural Relics Investigation Bureau?" Teng Kunwu asked again.

Yu Yao recalled the exchange with Zheng Wenzhi at that time, "It's not very likely." ”

As he spoke, Yu Yao tapped the table and looked at everyone, "In this way, this has become a new clue?"
