Like Boss Guan, if you give him three points of color, you will open a dyeing workshop, if you agree easily, he will think that you are easy to talk to, and regret it is just a thought.

Therefore, Meng Zitao consumed it until Boss Guan was really impatient, so he agreed to buy it for 8,000 yuan, and immediately transferred the account to Boss Guan.

Although Boss Guan didn't make any money, he was also very proud in his heart, and felt that he could return the goods at the original price, which was also a good skill, so he hummed a little song and left.

"It's really wonderful!" Chai Chengxuan looked at Boss Guan's back and couldn't help but laugh.

Shu Ze smiled and said: "It's because of this kind of person that there will be a chance to pick up the leak!"

Meng Zitao smiled and agreed with this, people like Boss Guan must have dreamed of picking up leaks, but it was really sad and lamentable, but they gave up when a big leak came into their hands.

Du Ruoyu looked at Meng Zitao and asked, "Is it Teacher Meng?"

After confirming his identity, Du Ruoyu shook hands with Meng Zitao very warmly and invited everyone to the reception room.

Waiting for Mrs. Du to serve tea to everyone, Du Ruoyu couldn't help but ask the question in his heart: "Teacher Meng, I see that you are very optimistic about this folding edge wash, can you ask for advice, what is good about it?"

The moment he recognized Meng Zitao just now, he was very remorseful in his heart, why didn't he promise Boss Guan, or he would be the one who makes money now. Fortunately, he abides by the rules, and knows that if he fights by himself, Boss Guan will not make a move easily, rather than the pain of the relatives and the fast of the enemy, it is better to be cheap Meng Zitao.

Meng Zitao almost picked up the leak from Du Ruoyu's hand, so he didn't hide it: "I think this is a piece of Ming Yongle official kiln blue and white entwined branches and four seasons flower pattern folded and washed." ”

"Yongle!" Du Ruoyu knew that Meng Zitao should have picked up the leak, but he didn't expect that Meng Zitao would pick up such a big leak.

"Yes!"

Meng Zitao explains: "The blue and white folded pots fired during the Yongle period came in a variety of sizes, ranging in diameter from 16.5 cm to 31.6 cm. The diameter of this device is about 25 cm, which is a medium size. Most of the blue and white folds are painted with sea water ripples along the mouth edge of the basin, and this vessel is an example. This special seawater pattern is the characteristic of the imperial boutique of the Yongle Dynasty, and only the very large Yongle folding edge basin will have different ornamentation along the folding edge......"

This type of vessel continued to the Xuande period, but it was quite short-lived, and the decoration of the folding basin in Xuande was already different. In general, this ware has the elegant decorative style of the Yongle era and the graceful shape of the Near East, and the combination of the two has to be said to be a boutique with a unique charm. ”

After listening to Meng Zitao's detailed explanation, Du Ruoyu felt a pity at the same time, but also admired Meng Zitao very much, he could see so many characteristics at a glance, in other words, he thought it was porcelain from the middle and late Ming Dynasty, so he didn't feel that Meng Zitao robbed him of his leakage, after all, if he could see the value of this porcelain, he would not sell it, even if he agreed to Boss Guan, he would eventually sell it to others.

Du Ruoyu praised Meng Zitao's wonderful explanation, and after chatting a few more words, he asked about the origin of Meng Zitao and others today.

Chai Chengxuan took out his painting, unfolded it halfway and asked, "Boss Du, do you recognize this painting?"

Du Ruoyu looked at it and said with some surprise: "Hey, isn't this the one that Song Lao imitated? Why is it in your hands again?"

Chai Chengxuan frowned and asked, "How can you tell at a glance that this painting is imitation?"

Du Ruoyu pointed to the shepherd boy on the scroll and said: "Because of the position of the shepherd boy, the position of the shepherd boy in the real work is close to the cow's head, which was specially painted by Song Lao in order to distinguish it." ”

Chai Cheng was stunned and asked, "Boss Du, did this painting flow from you?"

Du Ruoyu shook his head: "No, the real work was sold from me, but it seems to be collected by Song Lao, it stands to reason that he should not sell it!"

Du Ruoyu felt a little strange.

Chai Chengxuan sighed: "The key is that this painting has already arrived in my hands, can you please inquire who this painting is sold to, this is very important to me." ”

"This ......" Du Ruoyu hesitated for a moment and said: "Song Lao generally doesn't say the customer's information, I'll try to help you ask." ”

"Okay, I'm sorry for you. Chai Chengxuan said.

Du Ruoyu smiled and said that he was not welcome, and got up to contact Song Lao in his mouth.

After a while, Du Ruoyu came back and said apologetically: "I talked to Song Lao on the phone just now, but he didn't agree. ”

"Where is he now?" Chai Chengxuan certainly did not give up, and this matter was very important to him, in the final analysis, he still didn't want to be deceived by his wife and sister's family who had been helping.

Du Ruoyu replied: "He's at home now, do you want to go to his house to find him? I think it's hard to get him to agree." ”

"Anyway, you have to give it a try. Chai Chengxuan said.

Du Ruoyu thought for a while: "Okay, I'll take you there." ”

Since it was almost noon, everyone went to eat first, and Song Lao had the habit of taking a lunch break, so everyone didn't arrive at Song Lao's house until two o'clock.

Song Lao's real name is Song Huaiguo, and he is a little-known old painter in Jinyang, but his level of painting is very high, and the imitation paintings can reach the level of fake and real. And the reason why he is not well-known is precisely because he likes to imitate the works of famous artists, after all, it is not very good to spread this matter.

In the final analysis, Song Huaiguo actually makes a living by imitating paintings, so he will not divulge the names of his clients, and if he commits a taboo, he will be unlucky.

Song Huaiguo was not very happy about everyone's visit, but fortunately, Du Ruoyu and Meng Zitao were present, and he did not show that the living should not enter, but still welcomed everyone into the living room.

Song Huaiguo got straight to the point: "I believe that Boss Du should have mentioned my situation to you, so I hope you can understand that the guest's information is the capital of my life, and it is impossible for me to disclose it." ”

"Old Song, I understand your difficulties, if it is a general matter, I don't bother to inquire about the origin of this painting, but this matter is really important to me. ”

Chai Chengxuan wanted to save face, and he had no choice but to tell the situation: "So I hope you can understand, and you can rest assured, I just want to know what's going on, and I won't settle accounts with anyone, just treat myself as a wise man." ”

Song Huaiguo was a little moved, he thought about it for a moment, and said: "To be honest, I am very sympathetic to your matter, but I am very embarrassed by your request, because I have sworn in this regard before, and it is definitely not easy to break." Well, I'll give you a chance, let's make a bet, if your drawing skills are recognized by me, then I'll tell you who I sold this painting to. ”

"Aren't you ......" Chai Chengxuan originally wanted to say, isn't it difficult for a strong man, but he has an imitation of Song Huaiguo's painting in his hand, and even several experts recognize the painting skills of this painting very much, how can they be more powerful than Song Huaiguo at such an age?

"Yes!

Before Chai Chengxuan finished speaking, Meng Zitao opened his mouth and agreed.

This surprised everyone except Shu Ze, could Meng Zitao be so confident? As for Shu Ze, he was actually just Meng Zitao who had created too many miracles and trusted Meng Zitao unconditionally.

"Teacher Meng, I don't know how to release water. Song Huaiguo said with a serious face.

"I know it's my problem to lose. Meng Zitao smiled, if it was before today, he wouldn't dare to make such a guarantee, but now, he has done his best to Shi Tao's painting skills, is it possible that he can't compare to Song Huaiguo?

Song Huaiguo was very curious about why Meng Zitao had such a high confidence, so he immediately got up and took everyone to his study.

As an old painter's study, of course, all kinds of painting tools are available, but Mencius Tao doesn't want anything else, just a brush, good ink and rice paper, he will show the skills of painting bamboo, and afterwards, even if someone is surprised by his high level of painting, he can also use calligraphy and painting bamboo to explain the similarity.

Meng Zitao brewed his emotions for a while, and then began to create on rice paper, and from the moment he dropped the first stroke, Song Huaiguo's face beside him began to show surprise.

Shi Tao's achievements in the art of painting are extremely outstanding, because he has enjoyed the famous mountains and rivers, "searched all the strange peaks to make drafts", and formed his own unique style of lush and unbridled. Shi Tao is good at using the ink method, using both dry and wet shades, especially like to use wet brushes, through the infiltration of ink and the fusion of brush and ink, to show the weather and characteristics of the scene.

He believed that the universe was one from nothing, from one life to many, and from many to one. His painting style is basically the same as his theory, so the picture is mostly an ethereal and uncolored style.

And Meng Zitao's painting skills are passed on from Shi Tao, and Shi Tao's characteristics can of course be perfectly displayed.

The stone in this picture first outlines the rugged appearance, supplemented by the rubbing of burnt ink, while the painted bamboo uses wet ink to express the moisture and vitality of the plant, the contrast between shades is rich in layers, the bamboo has the ambition of Lingyun, and the bamboo leaves are simple and strong without a little elegant bending in the wind, which is to set off its strong and unswerving temperament.
