Organic Farm Author: Farmer is flying

After the matter was settled, several people called the waiter to serve the meal and drank some wine to celebrate. Li Tao and the others wanted to take Tian Chuan to have fun, but Tian Chuan had too many things, and they were in a hurry to rush back to make quick money, so they said goodbye to the three of them.

When he went downstairs to the hall, Tian Chuan saw Zhang Wentao entering the door. Zhang Wentao didn't expect to meet him here, so he couldn't help but sigh, and the two said hello.

Zhang Wentao greeted the three people around Tian Chuan, and after introducing Tian Chuan, he learned that these three eldest brothers were also legendary existences in the capital. Walking down the hall, there were people constantly greeting the three.

At this time, the manager of the club came over, greeted the three of them, and then handed a golden membership card to Tian Chuan: "Mr. Tian, this is the membership gold card that Brother Qi instructed you to do, and you can enjoy all the services of our Xishan Club with the card." ”

Tian Chuan took the card and said, "Thank you, I'm poor now, wait for a while and I'll make money, and then I'll enjoy it." "Say a few words to everyone and say goodbye and go out. After a while, a waiter drove his car over, and Tagawa dropped two tips and drove home.

When I got home, I spent half a night in a daze at the small freehand Chinese paintings and oil paintings, but the things I painted always had a feeling of being different, but I couldn't find anything wrong, so I had to sleep sullenly.

When practicing boxing the next morning, Tian Chuan was still thinking about painting, and when he pushed his hand, he was released by Mr. Wu several times in a row. The old gentleman asked him, "Why do you always wander away from your mind?"

Tagawa talked about painting, and the old gentleman said, "If you don't have inspiration, you don't have it, you can't force it, so take your time." It may be inspiring to have time to go out for a walk. If you're looking for a more traditional style, try checking out the Temple of Literature or the antique market. ”

Tian Chuan listened to the old gentleman's words, went to Panjiayuan that morning, and specially took 50,000 yuan with him.

At this time, the antique craze has just begun, and it is still in the heating stage, people are keen to pick up leaks, and the whole antique market is full of people, and it is a hot scene. Tian Chuan walked through the market, looking at the antique or tattered items on the roadside stalls, and tried to experience the charm of traditional culture.

From time to time, someone greeted him, or solicited customers openly and openly, or asked secretly, but Tian Chuan directly ignored him. Until I saw a stall with a few old books. There were less than ten books on the stall, the pages were dark yellow, and they looked quite old. Tian Chuan squatted down, pointed to a copy of "Sketching Techniques" and asked, "Can you look through this book?"

Only two words burst out of the stall owner's mouth: "Yes." ”

Tagawa picked up the book and carefully flipped through it, the book was from the 30s, and there was nothing special about the content. He had read it in advance, and most of the books on the stall were from this period, and most of them were art books. He read a few random books, including an English version of The Principles of Aesthetics, probably from the mid-to-late nineteenth century, but there was no copyright page, and the source could not be determined for a while.

He stacked five books, which made up more than half of them, and asked, "How much are these five books?" But I didn't put in the English books that I was most interested in.

The stall owner stretched out his hand to him and wanted to "hold hands" with him to negotiate the price. Tian Chuan shook his head and said, "Forget it, there are no rare books, just a fixed price." I buy books to keep reading. ”

The stall owner looked at him and said, "Two thousand." Tian Chuan counteroffered 200, of course the stall owner did not do it, Tian Chuan said: "I give a conscience price, no matter how high it is, it is not worth it." In the end, the stall owner gave up to 400 and refused to go any less. Tian Chuan finally said: "That's it, I'll give 500, and I'll give me all 8 copies, okay?" The stall owner was still unwilling, Tian Chuan was about to leave, but the stall owner stopped him and said, "Forget it, take it." ”

Tian Chuan put all the eight books in his backpack, took 500 yuan and handed them over, only to notice a roll of drawing paper in the stall owner's hand, and asked casually: "What is that? Is it also for sale?"

The stall owner handed him the paper and said, "These are some old paintings, really good things." ”

Tian Chuan opened the painting and saw that there were oil paintings, sketches, and two watercolors, most of which were still lifes, and none of them were signed, which was obviously a student's work. There should be a lot of years of painting, but the level is not high. Tagawa flipped through them one by one, and one of the oil paintings caught his attention.

The subject of this painting is a horse, the horse is black, the wind blows from behind the horse's side, blowing the horse's mane, the grass under the horse's feet and the mountains in the distance are blurred, with a Chinese painting artistic conception, the level of painting is obviously higher than other paintings, but the same is not signed.

Tagawa picked up the painting and said, "I want this one." The stall owner seemed surprised by his directness, and said, "Wu Qian." Tian Chuan bargained for 500 yuan, and after a long bargain, he bought it for 2,200 yuan.

The stall owner also wanted to sell him a dozen other paintings, but Tagawa refused to ask for them anyway. After he walked dozens of meters with his bag on his back, he suddenly heard the stall owner's voice calling him from behind: "Little brother, wait a minute." ”

Tian Chuan stopped, turned around and asked, "What else is going on?" The stall owner said, "I still have some such things at home, do you want to see them?"

Tian Chuan took a closer look at the stall owner, and saw that he was about fifty years old, dressed ordinarily, with a Beijing accent. Tian Chuan asked, "Is it far away? Is there a painting book at home? I am just a person who learns to paint, and I don't know anything else." ”

The man replied, "There are many books for drawing." It's not far away, a few stops by car. ”

When I got into Tagawa's car and saw the drawing board in the car, the stall owner seemed to believe Tagawa's statement, and unfolded the true character of the people in the capital.

"My old man liked to paint when he was alive, and he kept them as if they were treasures. The old man didn't have it, and I didn't understand this, so when I got Pan Jiayuan and asked, people only gave ten or eight yuan, so it was better to set up a stall by myself. ”

Tagawa was not optimistic about his book, but the horse gave him hope. He guessed that it might be a famous painting, after all, it was quite good.

Listening to the stall owner's nagging, the car drove to Nancheng, in the alley of a bungalow, this is an independent small courtyard. It is not a well-known quadrangle, just a small courtyard of a single family, in fact, there is basically no yard, only two main houses plus wings on both sides, only a few square meters in the courtyard gate can see the sky, as the lighting place of each house, there is an old Tsubaki tree in the courtyard.

The stall owner took Tagawa into the main house. The main room is an inside and outside structure, and there is a table of eight immortals and two Taishi chairs outside, which seems to be old. On the wall above the table hangs a picture of a tiger descending from the mountain, which is a printed matter at first glance, and a wooden-framed couplet hangs on both sides: "The tiger roars in the mountains and forests, and people have a lot of leisure and fun." "The font is clumsy and strong, the wooden frame is not suitable, and the payment is partially suppressed, so I can't see it clearly.

The stall owner went into the house to get something, and Tagawa sat on a chair and waited.

After a while, the stall owner dragged out an old wooden box from the back room, opened the lid of the box, and revealed a volume of old books inside, which seemed to have not been touched for many years, and there was a musty smell inside. Most of the books in it are fine arts, there are also some calligraphy and literature, and a few English and French, there are no obvious marks such as signatures on the books, and there are versions from the beginning of the Republic of China to before the liberation, and there are new editions in horizontal and vertical rows.

When Tagawa took it out, he saw that there was paper underneath, and there were circles of tide marks on the paper, and there were large ink stains on the paper, which seemed to be paintings. He took out the book and put it on the table, the rice paper below was exposed, he took out the rice paper with a little wing, opened it and saw the first picture of a cow, and the payment startled Tian Chuan: "It can be dyed", and then look down, there is a rooster peony of Wang Xuetao. Tian Chuan saw that the stall owner dragged another box out, so he threw the painting back into the box and said to him: "They are all old books of the Republic of China, they are so poorly preserved, they will fall off when they are turned over, you see, the paper at the bottom is bad, and there is no quality of the books you put out." I'll take a look at the box. As he spoke, he threw a broken book back into the box and pressed it against the painting.

The situation of the box dragged out seems to be better, but there are not many books inside, and the most conspicuous star is a large stack of paintings, which are basically the goods put out by the stall owner. Tagawa carefully flipped through the nearly 100 paintings in total, and only picked out four that were not bad, two oil paintings and two sketches. There are some sundries in the box, a stone inkstone, a few ingots of ink, a few famous seals and idle chapters, and the ink ingots have begun to mold because of moisture.

Tian Chuan said disgustedly: "Only these four paintings are okay, they are not well preserved, a total of 5,000 pieces, how about it?"

The stall owner said with a sad face: "You can take it all, it's useless to put it in my hand, seeing that you are a book lover, consider you cheaper." ”

Tian Chuan looked at the two boxes of books, there were sixty or seventy books, and said, "There are 20 books, a total of 1,500 will be given to you, and the box will be given to me." In the end, Tagawa agreed to pay 10,000 yuan, take away the two boxes of things, and ask for the couplets on the wall.

Loading things into the car, paying for it, Tagawa's heart is about to fly, is this the legendary leak? This feels so cool.

Parking the car downstairs, Tagawa put on his backpack, stacked two boxes on his shoulders, clamped the couplet under his armpit, and transported everything upstairs in one trip.

The two boxes of things were more than 200 pounds, and I didn't feel tired.

In the study, carefully take out the contents of the box one by one, put the books on the ground, and first look at the painting at the bottom of the box. The paper was already a little brittle, and Tagawa carefully opened the paintings and calligraphy:

Li Keran's "Cattle Husbandry"!

Li Keran's "Lijiang River Landscape"!

Wang Xuetao's "Rooster Peony Picture"!

Zhu Qizhan's "Gourd Under the Moon"!

Wu Changshuo's "Pomegranate in the Rain"!

Liu Haisu's "Huangshan Pine"!

And so on and so forth

There are a total of 14 paintings, all of which are works of modern masters. It's just that it's too poorly preserved, and it needs to be repaired and protected immediately.

Then I opened the five Western paintings that were picked out, and one of the four paintings obtained was a plaster portrait of a sketch, Venus, with harmonious proportions, delicate and accurate tones, and the inscription was a foreign language, which I didn't recognize.

The remaining three are oil paintings, one of which depicts an Eastern European portrait, a worker, with the same inscription as Venus.

One of the other two oil paintings is a farming picture in the style of Chinese painting, and the other is "Huang Jiguang". The last two have been signed: Xu Beihong!

Tagawa was no longer excited, and too many surprises had paralyzed his nerves.

After re-counting, a total of 21 valuable paintings were found _ two more powerful ones were found in Western paintings.

There are a total of nine seals, all of which belong to Wu Changshuo, and they may have been a group, but Tian Chuan's foundation in this aspect is insufficient and he can't distinguish them clearly.

There are only three calligraphy works, Shen Yimo's calligraphy, Wu Changshuo's couplet, and Liu Tianyi's calligraphy.

In the end, he took the couplet, the wooden frame was very rough, he opened the wooden frame, and the upper and lower paragraphs of the couplet were revealed, it was Lin Zexu.

Tagawa sat on a chair in the middle of the room, looking at the famous calligraphy and paintings on the table and on the ground, and didn't know what to do. It was past three o'clock, and I didn't seem to feel hungry, so I finally picked up my mobile phone and called Professor Shi and Senior Liu Tianyu respectively, asking them to come and see the paintings, and come now.
