Chapter 18 An Ancient Painting Determines the World

The atmosphere was suppressed for a long time, and under the fierce gaze of several adults, Bai Wanwan and Du Qingchuan did not dare to communicate with Tang Ruan, until Du Qifeng coughed in a low voice: "Since you are the granddaughter of Old Tang, then I will test you." ”

Someone had already come in with something in his hand.

Du Qifeng finally smiled: "Your grandfather is extremely talented in antique appreciation, but he has been immortal for a long time, I am afraid that there are few people in the world who have his style, you are his granddaughter, I don't know how much of his true biography?"

At this time, there was a painting, a piece of jade, and a small and delicate purse on the table.

Tang Ruan scratched his hair embarrassedly: "I'm really ashamed, I was still a cell when my grandfather passed away, and I can't talk about any true inheritance......"

"Hahaha, you little girl is interesting. Du Qifeng smiled angrily: "It's just a pastime for my own family, just for fun." ”

Tang Ruan grinned stupidly: "That's good, that's good, I'm from the countryside after all." ”

He pointed at Gu Qinghui: "Qinghui is the same age as you, how do you compare?"

Tang Ruan was speechless, didn't he say to play, why is it still compared?

Gu Qinghui glanced at Tang Ruan arrogantly, got up and said, "Grandpa Du, since it's a competition, there should be a lottery, otherwise it's too boring." ”

"Of course. Du Qifeng smiled kindly: "If anyone is better, how many genuine products on the table will belong to her." ”

"What about the one who lost?" Gu Qinghui was bound to win, and asked with a cold glance at Tang Ruan.

Bai Wanwan was unhappy: "Sister Qinghui, it's just playing, why are you so serious." ”

Du Qingchuan was also a little worried: "Since it's just for fun, it's good to have a lottery, so there's no need for punishment." ”

Gu Qinghui was unrelenting: "There is no punishment for the color head, what does it mean, you say yes? Tang Ruan?"

Tang Ruan looked innocent and blinked: "I...... I'm okay with that......"

Bai Dejing couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped the table angrily: "Then listen to me, the winner will take the real thing, and the loser will serve the winner to eat, okay? Let's start quickly, the old man is hungry!"

Now that he opened his mouth, Gu Qinghui didn't dare to refute anymore, and at this time, Tang Ruan asked, "Then, how to play?"

This time, Du Qifeng didn't say anything, but Wei Xian, the head of the Wei family, said with a smile: "It's very simple, these three things on the table, the two of you identify them at the same time, first say whether they are true or false, and then talk about the reason, who says it more accurately and in more detail, even if whoever wins, how about it?"

There is no opinion on either side.

Bai Wanwan was also interested and volunteered to be the host.

"The first appreciation, a landscape map!" Bai Wan said in a loud voice, and quietly made a cheering gesture towards Tang Ruan.

Tang Ruan and Gu Qinghui stepped forward to observe at the same time, the two of them held their breath and contemplated, each thinking about it, Tang Ruan put his arm on his shoulder, and rubbed his chin with his index finger and thumb.

After about a minute, Gu Qinghui took the lead in speaking: "Li Sixun's Autumn Mountain in the Tang Dynasty asks for a picture, genuine." ”

Tang Ruan was still in his thoughts, and Gu Qinghui had already talked eloquently: "This brush is full of ink and ink, full of energy, the mountains and forests in the painting are stacked on top of each other, majestic and secluded, and there is really a scene of victory in the rivers and mountains, which makes people immersive." “

"Again. She glanced at Tang Ruan, and showed her pride: "This painting is extremely old and rotten, the paper is old, and Li Sixun personally withdraws money, and the world has always been based on the landscape as the top, the little people are second, the bamboo and stone flowers and birds are again, and the insects, fish and beasts are under it, this landscape painting can be regarded as a superior treasure." ”

Gu Qinghui was full of bamboo, and her voice was sour: "What, can't you see it?"

Tang Ruan slowly retracted his gaze and looked at Du Qifeng, faintly humble: "This painting is fake." ”

Seeing her like this, Du Qingchuan couldn't help but smile.

"How is it possible!" Gu Qinghui immediately retorted.

Gu Qirong, who had been silent, glanced at Gu Qinghui with some displeasure: "Qinghui, don't be presumptuous." ”

Gu Qinghui closed her mouth in displeasure.

Tang Ruan touched his nose and said, "Let's not talk about the brush and ink of this painting for the time being, but I don't agree with what Miss Gu said just now." ”

"Which sentence makes you disagree?" Gu Qinghui held back her anger.

Tang Ruan then said: "The paintings of the ancients are divided into energy, wonder, gods, and masterpieces. Among them, the highest level of masterpieces is the result of whimsical ideas and clever handicrafts, reaching a state where the painting is ripe when it is born, and others cannot imitate it at will. In order to evaluate the above four products, it is necessary to use the method of 'clear taste image' proposed by Zong Bing of the Southern Dynasty. ”

"What is this?" Bai Wanwan couldn't help but be a little curious as she saw what Tang Ruan said one by one.

"Cheng Huai needs to keep the most objective heart, without subjective emotions, like a blank sheet of paper, accepting the original feelings of the painter when he creates. Taste is a work of taste, and sometimes that feeling can only be understood but not expressed, and it is very personal or personal. Therefore, some people think that Xu Beihong's horse is the most high-quality, and some people think that Pan Tianshou's landscape is the best. Just like Mr. Wu Guanzhong said, the word Yi in Yi represents freedom and has nothing to do with worldly taste, not Miss Gu, who has already relied on the things in the painting to divide the painting into three, five, nine and so on. ”

Gu Qinghui's face had already changed, and she just wanted to argue.

Tang Ruan continued: "If people who study painting tend to be as worldly as Miss Gu, then no one will paint birds, animals, insects, fish, birds and shrimps. We can't see a treasure like Mr. Qi Baishi's "Shrimp". ”

Gu Qinghui was a little angry: "Even if what you say is reasonable, then you can tell me, where is this fake?"

Tang Ruan nodded kindly: "Let's talk about the silk color, the real silk color is light, even if the silk is seriously damaged, but the spirit of the painting, including the color, is still as new, of course, if it is a Buddha statue or the like, it will inevitably be damaged by incense smoke, and so on." As the years go by, the silk at both ends of the scroll will inevitably crack, and although this painting is pseudo-shrewd, as long as you look closely, you can find that although the silk color of this painting has been put into it, the scroll is self-defeating. If you don't believe it, you only need to go straight through the scroll with a quick knife, and you will find that the silk will fluff, and if you pinch the nails, the lines will still be tough, and it must be a fake painting. ”

Gu Qinghui couldn't hold her face anymore, her nails were embedded in her palms, and she felt empty.

Bai Dejing still looked down on Tang Ruan, but there was already interest in his eyes: "Can you say that there are others?"

Tang Ruan smiled at him and nodded: "Modern people identify calligraphy and painting based on the collection or appreciation of stamps, but in fact, the ancients made many paintings and calligraphy without money, even if there is a letter, it is on the back of the paper or the edge, and it will generally be cut off when framed. The fashion of inscriptions only began at the end of the Song Dynasty, so this painting, only from these aspects, is not genuine. ”

"Okay, that's good!" The others were a little unable to come back to their senses, and Du Qifeng was the first to laugh and speak, his face full of appreciation.

As soon as he said this, whether this painting was true or not, everyone had a conclusion, Gu Qinghui looked dejected, and looked at Tang Ruan's eyes like shooting a knife.

Everyone at the table also knew that these two people's kung fu was profound, and they would only see each other with just one painting, and if they continued to compare, it would only hurt the face of the Gu family.

Tang Ruan's explanation just now, Bai Wanwan threw herself to the ground with the five bodies she had admired, and directly skipped Gu Qinghui and asked Tang Ruan: "What about this piece of jade, is it really fake?"

Tang Ruan looked at Gu Qinghui: "What does Miss Gu think?"

Gu Qinghui had a thorn in her eyes, and she didn't want to follow her words, at this time, Wei Qingdai jumped out to play a round: "Okay, okay, it's really better, the two girls don't want to lose face, I think this game is over, everyone is starving to death." ”

Du Qifeng's eyes swept over Gu Qirong's body lightly: "Yes, Qingchuan, you and Qinghui go to urge, let the kitchen serve the food quickly." ”

Gu Qirong glanced over, and his face was warm and angry: "Qinghui, Miss Tang is a guest, listen to your Grandpa Du." ”

Gu Qinghui glared at Tang Ruan, and reluctantly went out with Du Qingchuan.

As soon as the two left, Bai Wanwan was happy again: "Tang Ruan, what do you mean, this jade is real or fake?"

Tang Ruan also knew what it was for just now, and at this moment, she glanced at Du Qifeng.

Du Qifeng looked amiable, "Since Wanwan asked you, you can tell her." This little girl, don't stop until you reach your goal, if you don't tell her, we don't want to eat this meal. ”

Tang Ruan responded with a smile, so well-behaved that if Mu Qichen was present, his eyes would widen in fright. "It should ...... It is a hard white jade carving handed down from the Yin Shang period. ”

Bai Wanwan's eyes widened: "Wow, it's very valuable, right?"

Tang Ruan smiled: "Look at this piece of jade, it is composed of a lady who throws off her sleeves and a divine bird that spreads her wings and flies, and uses thin yin lines to depict a more complex hairstyle, the front is ear-length short hair, and the back is tied into three pieces of waist-length hair, and the lady's dress is carved out of a dragon as thin as a hair, and the mouth and tongue are vividly opened." Look at the mythical bird carved on her sleeve is vivid and lively, and it is not clear whether it is worth it or not, but this jade carving shows the style and ornamentation of women's clothes at that time, which has a high reference value of cultural relics and is a very meaningful collection. ”

Tang Ruan's voice was not loud, but it was enough for several people present to hear it clearly, except for Bai Wanwan, everyone else had different expressions.

"What about this!" Bai Wanwan looked admiring, pointing to the purse.

Tang Ruan glanced at Gu Qirong's face, and saw that his face was gloomy and unhappy, and he knew that he couldn't say any more, otherwise he would really make the Gu family lose face today.

She frowned and didn't say much: "This...... I can't see it, after all, our Tang family is still mainly porcelain making. ”

Du Qifeng glanced at her and wanted her to continue.

Bai Dejing smiled and said: "A broken purse." Lao Du, you also take it out and embarrass it. Why don't you give it to my family to play Wanwan~"

Tang Ruan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and was a little curious that Bai Dejing was menacing when he came up, but this time he intentionally or unintentionally relieved her?

Du Qifeng's face was stunned for a moment, but he immediately returned to his original state: "You, okay, okay, Wanwan can play with it if you like it." ”

That thing is small and cute, Bai Wanwan doesn't care if it's true or not, she happily grabbed it and played it alone, but Tang Ruan was in pain for Du Qifeng, Qianlong's previous complement, and the embroidery pattern was a noble crane, the price was at least 6,000 US dollars, Bai Dejing was also embarrassed, and he took it to others with a word.

At this time, Du Qingchuan and Gu Qinghui also returned.
