"Understood. Yu Yao smiled, "But if you don't buy it, you have to take a look first." In this way, if you don't feel at ease, just hold me in your hand and give me two or three minutes. ”

"My surname is Li, and your surname is you?" The middle-aged man slowed down and did not respond immediately.

"My surname is Yu and I'm from Dongjiang. ”

The middle-aged man thought for a while, "You know Qingtian, right?"

Yu Yao nodded, "If I'm not mistaken, what you have in your hand is a sealed door green, five ponds are frozen." ”

"Connoisseur!" asked the middle-aged man again, "what about the year?"

"I can't really see it from a distance, but I probably can't escape from the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. ”

Yu Yao can't tell the truth, but he can't say that it's a modern product, where the pulp hangs!

The middle-aged man frowned, "So shallow?"

"I said that I can't see it really, but maybe there will be further understanding if I take a closer look. ”

"Good. ”

The middle-aged man finally took out the brocade box again and took out the seal, but he really listened to Yu Yao, and didn't let him get started, but showed it to Yu Yao himself.

He first grabbed the upper half tightly and showed the bottom seal to Yu Yao.

Yu Yao looked at it for a moment and recognized the content of the inscription.

Yangwen Seal Book: Shunju.

No wonder the old man is not interested!

Shunju is the word selected by the great painter Qian in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty. Moreover, this seal has appeared in many of Qian Xuan's hand-me-down works.

Qian Xuan is a native of Wuxing, Zhejiang Province, not far from Shao City. Qian Xuan's greatest achievement is landscape painting, and he also dabbles in flower and bird figures, which has a great influence on the Yuan Dynasty painting world, and is known as the head of "Wuxing Eight Jun". In "Wuxing Bajun", there is another person named Zhao Mengfu.

First of all, judging from the era in which Qian Xuan lived, there is no physical seal of the sealed door that has been handed down and found to this day.

Moreover, this side of the "Shunju" Yangwen seal seal seal has appeared more than once in the Qian Xuan works collected by the Forbidden City and some large museums. In this way, it is not difficult to imitate the printed text. As for the seal itself, it is easy to say, because this seal has long been lost, and there is no exact record of the specific shape.

Also, at the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, there were almost no such three-dimensional beast buttons in private prints.

Therefore, after the old man saw it, he should have concluded that this side of the "Shunju" seal of the door was an imitation.

After all, there is a difference in eyesight.

In Yu Yao's view, the fact that no physical object has been found does not mean that it has not appeared.

This seal is so thick that it doesn't look like it was made later. If you want to determine whether it is an imitation, you only need to carefully check the font, knife work, traces, ink residue and so on.

As for the three-dimensional lion-shaped beast button, the knife technique is simple, the shape is cute, and there are few knives for decoration, but there are few knives, and they are sophisticated and spicy. Moreover, the knife marks, grinding marks and the animal body pulp are consistent, and they are definitely not imitations of later generations.

Therefore, Yu Yao judged that this was the ancient seal of the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty! Combined with the inscription, it could be further determined that it was Qian Xuan's private seal!

The display of the middle-aged man is step-by-step, first the inscription, then the lion-shaped beast button, and then the three-dimensional vertical surface.

After reading the inscription and the lion-shaped beast button, Yu Yao was already able to determine that this three-dimensional vertical plane was light and unmarked, so Yu Yao just had a simple look.

Unexpectedly, one side of the seal, four vertical sides, after reading three sides, when the middle-aged man showed the last side, Yu Yao unexpectedly found that this side was close to the middle part of the lion button, and four small characters were engraved vertically!

Generally speaking, the inscription in a place other than the seal is engraved in a negative direction, and it is directly under the knife. This yang carving, firstly, is too labor-intensive, and secondly, it needs to be shoveled out of a "bottom", and there will be an obvious sense of potholes that are not very good-looking.

Moreover, the four small characters engraved vertically, judging from the literal pulp and the traces between the words, are not as long as the end of the Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty!

However, Yu Yao saw these four words, and although he tried his best to control them, his expression couldn't help but change significantly!

Because these four words are: good as water.

Others look ordinary, but they can't stand it, Yu Yao suddenly thought of how good the water word is!

It was not only because of the word "Shangshan" that he thought of He Shangshan, but also because Shangguan Yu once told Yu Yao that he had gotten a list from He Yimao, which was a list of ancient famous paintings that He Shangshan had imitated!

Among them, the vast majority of them are one person and one painting, but there are only three paintings selected by Qian!

It is true that Qian Xuan is a generation of famous artists, but in that list, which one is not a famous artist? Moreover, there are many famous people in it who are far greater than Qian Xuan, such as Dong Yuan, and there is only one one!

This can't help but make Yu Yao relate.

He Shangshan may like Qian Xuan very much, and he is also good at imitating Qian Xuan.

On this basis, if there is a hand-me-down heirloom seal selected by one party in hand, and it falls on a high-imitation painting, it will be even more difficult to identify the authenticity!

That's why I imitated three paintings by Qian Xuan!

Moreover, the four words "good as water" engraved by Yang are also consistent from the perspective of age.

However, precisely because it is a yang engraving rather than a yin engraving, Yu Yao also speculated that He Shangshan should not have engraved the words for the sake of engraving, but this part of this seal, it is possible that he had already been defective when he got his hands on it, so he carried out "destructive trimming" in this way, and it also happened to be integrated into his own favorites.

Of course, this is just Yu Yao's speculation. However, the old man must have also noticed this, the yang engraving revealed more identification points than the yin engraving, and determined the engraving of the Republic of China period, so that he further determined that this was an imitation of the Republic of China period.

is still the same sentence, the leak is not so easy to pick up, and it is a mistake to miss a thousand miles.

This seal, if it was really owned by He Shangshan, after it was lost from his hand, I don't know how many people have passed it, but it has been "let go" again and again.

"Okay, right?" the middle-aged man couldn't help but remind Yu Yao when he saw that Yu Yao was a little distracted.

"Oh, look at it. Yu Yao took the opportunity to point to "good as water", "This place, even the Qing Dynasty can't get there." ”

The middle-aged man didn't speak, but his fat fleshy face trembled slightly.

This seal, where Yu Yao said, is also the place that the previous customers have seen for the longest time, and it should also be the place that they care about the most.

Qi Lao's words once again floated to the middle-aged man's heart, he slowly put the seal into the brocade box, and then put it on the table, holding it down with one hand, "Now, what do you mean?"

"The craftsmanship is still good. Yu Yao smiled slightly, "I still want it, the key is the price." ”

When he said "craft", he casually gestured with his two hands, but in the eyes of middle-aged people, it naturally means "imitation".

The middle-aged man groaned and stretched out three fingers, "This is the number when I came, you can look at it!"

"I'll double it for you. Yu Yao didn't ask what the three fingers meant, and said directly.

Now the ball is kicked to the middle-aged man again. He originally wanted to be sloppy, but Yu Yao didn't accept it! Now he can only report the money, otherwise, Yu Yao said that he should be uncomfortable if he doubles it by thirty or three hundred.
