Chapter 296: Tasting

For Li Xiushan to be such an obvious sycophant, the fifth master smiled, he is also a person in the rivers and lakes, and he feels closer to people like Li Xiushan.

Moreover, although they are not on the right path, they don't have any dark thoughts, they are all stupid, they are comfortable to get along with, intentionally or unintentionally, the fifth master does have the heart to promote them, although with their character, if there is no accident, they will not go too far.

"This old man, can you tell me whether this painting is the real work of Tang Bohu?"

The boss opened his mouth and asked, what he was most concerned about was this, Tang Bohu's real work, or the Spring Palace map, which was worth at least a few million, right? Wouldn't he be going to get rich? Others, irrelevant, and listen to it for fun.

Zhou Lao didn't reveal it immediately, but took a magnifying glass and kept watching back and forth on the screen, muttering to himself. Those who don't know think he's enjoying the wonderful content on the screen!

However, to be honest, Tang Bohu's Spring Palace pictures are all implicit but not exposed, yellow but not lewd, and in fact, they are not good-looking.

Zhao Tianming was beside him, also observing the scroll, through the identification, he naturally knew that the painting was real, what he paid attention to was that in the lower left corner of the scroll, there was a somewhat special seal, which was impressively printed with "The First Merry Genius in Jiangnan".

Legend has it that Tang Bohu has a seal of "the first merry genius in the south of the Yangtze River", however, he left a large number of works, but he has never seen such a seal, Zhao Tianming thought it was fake!

It is said that Tang Bohu's name as the first merry genius in Jiangnan is self-styled by him, which comes from this seal, however, no one thinks he is arrogant, as if it is a matter of course, and he deserves his name.

I didn't expect to see this seal here today, which is really eye-opening.

"Is there really this seal for the first merry man in Jiangnan?" Gu Jiahua was also surprised, and couldn't help but want to get started and take a look, but now he couldn't bother Zhou Lao.

"This seal is really Tang Bohu's? When we first saw this seal, we thought it was a parallel import, and it was too arrogant to carve such a seal for ourselves, right?"

Li Xiushan refreshed his three views again, what Teacher Zhou said just now, they don't know whether it's true or not, and they don't know if Tang Bohu really let out wild words every time he took the exam, but now, I have finally experienced and seen his arrogance with my own eyes, and it is very likely that what Zhou Lao said is true.

"No wonder those top students now, every time they finish the exam, they obviously do very well in the exam, but they have to pretend to be in pain, it turns out that Tang Bohu is a lesson from the past! Low-key is the king!"

Li Xiushan looked thoughtful, this seems to be very in line with the nature of their profession?

“……”

Zhao Tianming and Gu Jiahua almost sprayed when they heard Li Xiushan's explanation, these people are not serious, and even their brain circuits are not serious, which can be recalled.

"Speak like you've read a book. The boss pouted on the side, his face full of disdain.

"Who said I didn't study? Did I graduate from junior high school well? I just didn't go to high school! Boss, I know you, you don't read in the second year of junior high school, I read more books than you!"

Li Xiushan said unconvinced, don't say I don't know, as soon as I talk about it, I am suddenly full of superiority, it turns out that he is more educated than the boss!

was exposed in public, the boss's face suddenly turned red like a pig's liver, and the stinky boy dared to kick his nose in the face?

It's just that this place is not right, you can't do anything to that kid, otherwise, you must let him know why the flowers are so red!

After a long time, Zhou Lao straightened his waist, breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Zhao Tianming: "Zhao Xiaoyou, what do you think?"

The fifth master saw that Zhou Lao actually asked a young man's opinion, looked at Zhao Tianming's gaze, and suddenly became a little curious, could it be that this little guy still has some magical skills? I heard Li Xiushan and a few guys just now, and it seems that they are also discussing him.

"I think this should be Tang Bohu's real work. Zhao Tianming looked at the picture scroll and made a conclusion directly.

Hearing Zhao Tianming say this, Li Xiushan and several people suddenly raised their eyebrows, and almost got carried away, especially Li Xiushan, who had previous experience, he was very convinced of Zhao Tianming's level, he said it was true, it should be true, this time he made a fortune!

"Tang Bohu's paintings rarely indicate the year, and the changes in his painting style are not very regular, so it is difficult to guess the time of painting, and it is difficult to divide the process of his painting style change according to time. However, judging from the paper and age alone, there is no doubt that it is indeed from the Ming Dynasty. ”

In addition, the women painted by Tang Bohu often appear strong and plump, with round faces and bewitching faces, reminiscent of the image of beauties in the Tang Dynasty. The women he painted are characterized by 'three whites', that is, a little white on the forehead, a little white on the tip of the nose, and a little white on the chin, which is often a criterion for later generations to distinguish between true and fake Tang Yin paintings. This is true for the characters in this painting. ”

"That's true. ”

Zhou Lao looked at him talking eloquently and smiling, it seems that his various encounters are not accidental, but have profound skills.

"Everyone may know that many of Tang Bohu's pictures of ladies are sad and grieving, which is a little different from the painting in front of him, which is much brighter. Perhaps, on this basis, some people think that this is not his work, but a forgery of later generations. In fact, there is a period when the characteristics of Tang Bohu's creation can correspond to such a state.

When Tang Bohu was thirty-six years old, he married Shen Jiuniang, and the couple made a living by selling calligraphy and paintings, as Tang Bohu wrote in his poem: "Idle to write a Danqing to buy, do not make evil money in the world", they use the meager income from selling calligraphy and painting to maintain their lives and share weal and woe.

When he was thirty-seven years old, he used the money he earned from selling calligraphy and painting to build a simple residence in Taohuawu, north of Gusu City, named 'Taohuaan', and lived a plain and clean life. Soon after, they had a lovely daughter named Taosheng. Zhao Tianming analyzed.

It was also at this time that Tang Bohu's life could be said to be clear, one of his rare happy days, and he sang in "Peach Blossom Nunnery in Peach Blossom Dock, Peach Blossom Fairy under Peach Blossom Nunnery", "Half-awake and half-drunk day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year", which is a portrayal of this secluded and contented life.

It can be seen that this painting is his work in this period, perhaps, Tang Bohu returned to the peach blossom hermitage, many people think that he no longer paints the spring palace picture, regretted, so he spent a lot of money to ask him to start writing, carefully created such a painting, and used it for burial after death. ”

Zhou Lao was very satisfied with Zhao Tianming's opinion, and added that at the end of his life, he made a little joke.
