Shen Chongyuan responded, "Speaking of the owner of the goods, he is also an old friend of mine, but he is not a person in the antique circle, and it is a bit accidental." If you have time, Shen Ge still has to go to work, go to me, right?"

"Okay. ”

Subsequently, Shen Chongyuan's driver sent Shen Ge home first, and she had to pick up and change her clothes or something. When he got out of the car, Shen Ge seemed to want to speak and stopped, Yu Yao looked at her and said, "I was settled in advance by Shen Lao today, and I will invite you when I have time." ”

Shen Gewan smiled, but he didn't want Yu Yao, and said to Shen Chongyuan, "Grandpa, you are a little stingy when you make people slap your eyes early!"

"This kid!" Before Shen Chongyuan's words fell, Shen Ge had already walked away.

Yu Yao arrived at Shen Chongyuan's villa, and Shen Chongyuan did not let Yu Yao sit in the living room, but went to a place similar to a small reception room on the second floor.

Yu Yao looked at the big ashtray on the table, handed Shen Chongyuan a cigarette, Shen Chongyuan waved his hand, but he took a pipe and lit it.

"Shen Lao, I didn't see it last time, your ashtray is quite distinctive!"

This ashtray is taller and larger than the general ashtray, and the shape of the three-legged furnace of the Ge kiln has a beige glaze. But there is a chimney, which is quite an interesting customization.

"I was on a whim, I ordered a few at the time, and there were useless ones, so you can take one and go. Shen Chongyuan smiled and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

"Then you're welcome. Yu Yao was very simple, don't refute Shen Chongyuan's face.

Shen Chongyuan took a puff of his pipe, "The reason why I see this painting is real is because the way it comes from is also more reliable." I have an old friend who was transferred to Quancheng, Lu Province in the late 80s to work, worked until his retirement, and returned to his hometown Jiangzhou to retire. This painting was acquired by him in the early 90s. ”

"It sounds like this painting was obtained from Quancheng?" Yu Yaoxin said, it turned out that it was not from Jiangzhou.

"Yes. He usually likes to write and draw himself. One weekend that year, he went to the Hero Mountain Cultural Market, and in a shop, a shopkeeper had just collected the things carried by two old farmers and was cleaning them up. Among them, there is this painting. ”

Yu Yao nodded, the largest antique market in Quancheng is the Hero Mountain Cultural Market.

"At that time, it was not as good as now, the Hero Mountain Market had just set up a shelf, and some of the shops were also half a bottle of vinegar. The painting has no name or money, and neither my old friend nor the shopkeeper knows the half-seal of the Inspector's Office. However, the shopkeeper knew the old silk, and my old friend at that time also spent 400 yuan to buy it. ”

Four hundred yuan was indeed a lot at that time, and some ordinary Ming and Qing official kilns were often available for one hundred and eighty yuan in the market.

After he bought the painting, he hung it at home and found some people to look at it, but there were too few people who knew how to do it at that time, and he couldn't say why. Later, he got a work by a modern master, and the painting was shelved. ”

"It seems that I haven't seen anyone since then?"

"Yes, when I retired and returned to Jiangzhou, this painting and some other calligraphy and paintings have been kept in the box!" Shen Chongyuan continued, "Last week, I went to his house to sit down, and when I talked about a few ancient paintings at auction this year, he suddenly remembered that he had an old collection, which was estimated to be before the Ming Dynasty." ”

"He's been on hold for so long, can he still make a move?"

"He wasn't originally from the antique circle, but his interests have changed since then, and now he is most enthusiastic about raising flowers. Shen Chongyuan said with a smile, "After I watched it at the time, I couldn't eat it for a while, and the most important thing was that there was no name." But I like it. When he heard this, he actually said that he wanted to send me, and I naturally would not accept it in vain. ”

"No, you've already bought it, do you?"

The same can be said. In the end, he insisted on refusing to bid, and I exchanged it for a Junyao flower pot. ”

Yu Yao couldn't help but smile, "If it's the Song Dynasty official, then you've made a big bet!"

"It's Mingjun, but it's beautiful, and now the market price can be worth 180,000. At that, he was still a little embarrassed. Shen Chongyuan said, "After I got it back, the more I looked at it, the more I felt that it should be a Tang painting, but I haven't found anyone to further identify it for the time being." ”

Yu Yao pressed down and didn't say a word. Shen Zhongyuan's Ming Dynasty Jun kiln will definitely not be blind, but this painting, whether it is genuine or not, is it two words!

"So the painting is already with you! I'm a little anxious. ”

"Let's go!" Shen Chongyuan extinguished his pipe and took Yu Yao out of the room and into the study.

This painting is already hanging on the wall of the study. Identification, there must also be a foreshadowing atmosphere, Shen Chongyuan obviously knows this, and he didn't let Yu Yao look at the painting as soon as he came, so he first chatted about the origin.

After Shen Chongyuan signaled, Yu Yao looked at it directly.

It is indeed a golden landscape, on silk. Tang and Song paintings that can be handed down and are relatively well preserved are basically silk books.

However, this painting is not the original old mounting, and the silk and mounting work used for the mounting look like it was from the early Qing Dynasty.

The content of the silk painting is in the style of the Tang Dynasty's golden landscapes.

The near view is the pavilions and pavilions on the riverbank, and the distant view is the river flowing and the mountains are stacked.

"This is the style of General Da Li, the originator of imitation Jinbi landscapes!" Yu Yao said as he watched.

"Well, but it certainly can't be the work of Li Sixun. Shen Chongyuan said.

Li Sixun, a generation of grandmasters of landscape painting in Chinese history, is also the founder of Jinbi landscape.

Calling him General Da Li is not a nickname, because he is really a general.

He made great achievements in war, and was the general of the right military guard during the Tang Xuanzong period. Tang Dynasty calligrapher Li Yong wrote and wrote the "Yunlu General Tablet", also known as "Li Sixun Tablet".

A generation of grandmasters in the landscape painting world, a generation of famous generals with great achievements, this is a very incredible combination, and it is no longer enough to describe him with cultural relics.

"It's already remarkable to be able to imitate it to this extent!" Yu Yao looked at the picture carefully, "There were many painters who imitated Li Sixun in the Tang Dynasty, and few had this level. ”

When Shen Chongyuan heard this, his heart was overjoyed.

But in fact, Yu Yao has not yet decided whether it is a Tang painting or not! The high level of imitation is different from the period of imitation.

Yu Yao said, and then carefully looked at the junction of the silk painting heart and the framed silk bottom, as well as the light on the side.

Every time the silk calligraphy and painting are remounted, it is different from the paper, basically you have to use a smooth stone or tool to add wax to the back, and if you remount it many times, you will notice a layer of light when you look at the silk surface.

This layer of bright light is commonly known as "slurry brightness" or "mirror light".

There is no on this painting, that is, even if it is genuine, it has not been framed many times, and even after the original mounting, only this post-mounting in the early Qing Dynasty is possible.

After confirming this, Yu Yao picked up the magnifying glass again and looked at the painting silk carefully.

Finally, I looked at the half-seal of the Inspectorate.

The whole process of appreciating the paintings took nearly an hour.
