Chapter 362: One for Two (Part II)

Meng Zitao talked eloquently: "Tang Yin's landscape painting style is from the Song Dynasty Li Cheng, Fan Kuan, Li Tang and others learned the style of rigorous, majestic, and strange style, and also participated in the layout and brush and ink skills of Ma Yuan and Xia Gui, and widely absorbed the Yuan Dynasty landscape masters, such as Wang Meng, Huang Gongwang's mellow, beautiful, and canghun strengths. ”

Therefore, in a sense, Tang Yin extensively absorbed the strengths of ancient paintings, and integrated the two opposing styles into one, creating the formal characteristics of the Ming Dynasty painting style. Let's take a look at this painting again......"

"Tuk Tuk!"

When Meng Zitao said this, he heard someone knocking on the door outside, and he was a little puzzled in his heart, and said, "Please come in." ”

As soon as the words ended, the door opened, and I saw a middle-aged man in his forties, who looked white and fat, walked in, he looked a little out of breath, and he probably came from somewhere.

The middle-aged man arched his hand to Meng Zitao with a smile on his face: "I take the liberty to visit, and I would like to invite you Haihan!"

At this time, Chen Zhongfeng heard the voice, raised his head, and looked back: "Hey, Uncle Qin, why are you here?"

"Xiao Feng, why are you here?" the middle-aged man was a little surprised.

"I have something to do in the antique street. Chen Zhongfeng replied, and then suddenly said, "Uncle Qin, I heard that you recently opened a teahouse, wouldn't it be here?"

Hearing this, Meng Zitao understood that Bacheng was the waiter just now, and knew that the middle-aged man was interested in Tang Yin's paintings, so he informed him.

This incident made Meng Zitao feel a little vigilant in his heart, it seems that if he wants to appreciate antiques outside in the future, he must be more cautious, otherwise if he is heard by someone with bad intentions, it may cause trouble.

"Isn't that it, it's a coincidence. ”

The middle-aged man walked over and looked at the scroll on the table, and his eyes were attracted by the contents of the scroll.

Chen Zhongfeng said with some complaints: "I said Uncle Qin, don't squeeze me, I haven't finished reading it yet!"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Hey, you kid, believe it or not, I told your dad that you didn't respect me." ”

Chen Zhongfeng said speechlessly: "I said Uncle Qin, you are too shameless, you even used the trick of suing your parents!"

"Alright, you little boy, do you know how to appreciate calligraphy and painting, give me gloves and tools. ”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man half scrambled and half scrambled to tear off the gloves worn by Chen Zhongfeng and put them on his hands, making everyone cry and laugh.

Taking advantage of the middle-aged man's appreciation, Chen Zhongfeng introduced to Meng Zitao, this person's name is Qin Runyan, and he has a lot of industry, because he is interested in antiques, and he also has an antique shop, but the store is not here, it is located in Yingdu Antique City, he invited a shopkeeper to manage, and he went to see it every other day, and it was actually very good.

Qin Runyan watched this, and it only took thirty or forty minutes, but everyone drank tea and chatted, and they didn't feel bored.

"Whew!" Qin Runyan breathed a long sigh of relief: "Good painting, really a good painting! Little brother, how about giving me this painting?"

Meng Zitao shook his head with a smile: "Mr. Qin, I don't have the idea of transferring it for the time being. ”

You know, this painting is Tang Yin's real work, and the size is amazing, and it is a masterpiece in his later years, it can be described as a treasure that can be met but not sought, how could he transfer it now?

Moreover, even if Meng Zitao wants to transfer, he can get his own auction company to participate in the auction, and when the time comes, it will not only increase the reputation of the auction company, but also auction a good price, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Qin Runyan was a little anxious when he saw Meng Zitao say this: "Little brother, I have loved Tang Yin's works for a long time, but I have never had the opportunity to get a masterpiece, please make it convenient." ”

After speaking, Qin Runyan glanced at Chen Zhongfeng next to him, and wanted to ask Chen Zhongfeng to help persuade him.

Meng Zitao also saw Qin Runyan's movements, and said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, I really don't have the idea of transferring, and, to tell you the truth, I still have an auction company under my name." ”

Meng Zitao also pointed to the point, I believe that Qin Runyan can understand the meaning of the words, after all, in business, if it is auctioned in his auction company, there may be a gap of tens of millions compared to selling directly to Qin Runyan, even if the relationship is good, it must be weighed.

Chen Zhongfeng took over and said, "Uncle Qin, in fact, Brother Meng is a closed disciple of Zheng Anzhi and Zheng Lao. ”

When Qin Runyan heard this, he was obviously stunned, and then said with a smile: "I said, it turned out to be a famous teacher and a high apprentice! Brother Meng, I won't tell you, my father and Zheng Lao are also old friends, when I was a child, I also went to Zheng's hometown to play a few times, but my father went early, and then he didn't have much contact, I don't know how Zheng Lao's body is now?"

"My master is very strong now. ”

Meng Zitao was also very surprised when he heard this, but he didn't expect it to be so coincidental. Of course, he didn't doubt Qin Runyan's words, because even if there was such a relationship, he couldn't easily agree, and when he called the master, he would know if it was true or false.

Concerned about Zheng Anzhi's situation, Qin Runyan turned the topic to the painting again, and said: "Brother, otherwise, I have two treasures that I have collected for many years, and if you agree, I will exchange these two treasures for your painting." Don't be in a hurry to refuse, let's go to my house first, and then we'll see those two treasures, do you think it's feasible?"

Since Qin Runyan has said this to this point, it would be a little unreasonable for Meng Zitao to refuse again, so he could only agree.

However, there is a question, Meng Zitao has to make it clear first, and said: "Mr. Qin, you should have also seen the part of the seal, I don't know how you feel?"

Qin Runyan said: "This should be a cover made by the ancients, a similar situation, I have seen it in a work of Dong Qichang before." ”

Meng Zitao nodded: "That's what I said, but it's also risky. ”

Qin Runyan thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Brother, I guess you should see something, right? ”

Meng Zitao smiled slightly: "If I'm not mistaken, this seal is indeed not the original picture scroll, this point, you can use a magnifying glass to compare it with the seal around, you should be able to see it." In addition, there may be some problems with the framing of this painting, which obscures some of the contents of the scroll, but this requires a more skilled framer to uncover it. ”

Qin Runyan compared it with a magnifying glass, and said, "It's okay, if you promise to exchange this painting for me, I'll find it myself." ”

Meng Zitao smiled slightly, looking at Qin Runyan's appearance, it seemed that he was already sure that he would exchange, which made him a little curious about the treasure that Qin Runyan said.

After careful comparison, Qin Runyan agreed with Meng Zitao's statement, and he himself did not doubt the authenticity of the painting, but now he has only strengthened his belief in changing the painting to his hand.

Next, Meng Zitao put away his words, and Qin Runyan hurriedly took the group to the parking lot and prepared to go to his house. Qian Chengyou and Qin Runyan were not very familiar with each other, and felt that it was a little inconvenient to go together, so they left the teahouse.

On the way, everyone chatted while walking, and Qin Runyan asked, "Xiao Feng, what are you doing in the antique street?"

Chen Zhongfeng said honestly: "I originally wanted to go to Yu Haile to buy something." ”

"Huh?" Qin Runyan frowned slightly: "Do you want to buy the gourd bottle in his hand?"

"Do you know this?" Chen Zhongfeng said in surprise.

Qin Runyan sneered: "Hey, we don't know about this." ”

"I don't know. Chen Zhongfeng muttered in a low voice.

I heard Qin Runyan continue: "That gourd bottle was Yu Haile who didn't pay attention to his eyes and suffered a big loss, and he also went to the seller to return it, but as a result, people were more skilled, and Yu Haile was disgraced, this matter, basically some channels, have heard about it, why didn't you kid know to ask me in advance?"

Looking at Chen Zhongfeng's embarrassed appearance, Qin Runyan also had a point in his heart, and said: "Your kid's temper has to be changed, our business is completely fortunate for me, and I lost my life, there are some things that must not be forced, and the result of forcing is often to suffer a loss." ”

"Got it. Chen Zhongfeng nodded solemnly and said that after a serious eye-beating and a near-eye-paking, his attitude towards collecting was more cautious and rational.

At this time, Meng Zitao opened his mouth and said: "Yu Haile should also know, many people know about him, in this case, why didn't he sell things cheaper?"

Qin Runyan said: "Because he has a channel now, he can sell things without losing money, and of course he won't deal with them cheaply." ”

"What channel?" asked Chen Zhongfeng curiously.

"Inquire for yourself. ”

Qin Runyan may have concerns about this matter, but he didn't say it directly, and Chen Zhongfeng didn't ask much.

The two cars stopped at the door of Qin Runyan's villa, and everyone got out of the car and followed Qin Runyan into the villa.

Qin Runyan was more anxious, and directly took Meng Zitao and them to the basement that he had transformed into a treasure room.

After some time to open the door of the treasure room, Qin Runyan turned on the electric light and invited everyone to enter.

Chen Zhongfeng shuddered: "Hey, why does it feel so cold here." ”

Qin Runyan explained with a smile: "According to a large number of experiments, the most suitable storage temperature for calligraphy and painting is 14°C to 18°C, and the most suitable relative humidity is 50% to 60%, which is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of microorganisms and molds. My collection here is mainly calligraphy and painting, so of course it has to be transformed into such an environment. ”

"In addition, you should notice that the light here is a little dim, because light is the natural factor that has the greatest impact on the painting, especially ultraviolet light, which can cause the paint in the picture to metamorphose, decompose, and cause the paper to change. Ultraviolet light mainly comes from sunlight, and light emitted by incandescent bulbs and fluorescent tubes also has a small amount of ultraviolet light. ”

"Therefore, when you usually hang a painting, you should not go close to the window to avoid direct sunlight shining on the picture. Light bulbs or fluorescent lamps emit 400-700 nanometers of visible light, although the effect is not great, but long-term close exposure can also make calligraphy and painting paper yellow. So I chose a low-power light source, and the distance was widened. (To be continued.) )
