Chapter 33 Taking over the consignment

The next morning, Hu Hao first drove to Chen Yang's house to pick up Chen Yang, and then the two went to Nuo Nuo's house to pick up paintings. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Generally speaking, in this kind of ancient calligraphy and painting transaction, the seller is reluctant to hand over the goods to the other party before the transaction. Even if the buyer needs to hire another person to conduct an appraisal, it is done in the presence of both the buyer and the seller or their representatives.

However, this time, the seller was very generous, on the one hand, it was to give face to Director Wu, the husband of the buyer, as a director of a listed company, and on the other hand, to give face to the friend of Director Wu as an intermediary, so the seller agreed to deposit the "Fox Map" to be sold at Nuo Nuo's house for three days under the guarantee of Director Wu's friend, so as to facilitate the Nuo Nuo couple to find someone to identify the calligraphy and paintings.

"Fox Picture" is a calligraphy and painting work by Zhang Chongpu, a calligrapher of the Qing Dynasty. Zhang Chongpu, born in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, was one of the famous calligraphers in the late Qing Dynasty, and was good at ink and flowers in painting, and his name was also included in the "Dictionary of Chinese Artists' Names".

Director Wu also likes to collect calligraphy works, and he likes Zhang Chongpu's inscription on the "Fox Map" very much. The content of the inscription is actually very simple, just describing the appearance and demeanor of this legendary mythical beast, and briefly introducing the reason for the author's painting: where did the fetish come from, Bai Ze's hooked claws and saw teeth...... Yong Ling, the hand of the dyeing painter Danqing and the wisher set the valerian of the screen.

Although the inscription is simple, the words are vigorous and powerful, and at first glance it is from the hands of connoisseurs, so it is quite loved by Director Wu, and Director Wu prefers the theme of the painting - Cunyi.

Legend is one of the nine sons of the dragon, shaped like a lion, life like quiet does not like to move, good to sit, and like fireworks, the Buddha saw that it has patience, so he sat down as a mount, so the foot decoration on the Buddha seat and the incense burner is the remains of the fox.

It is mentioned in the former Shu Guanxiu's "Sending Hao Ya Zen Master": Smallpox is raining, and the master is talking about it. Among them, the master is the lion, which is used by the Buddhists to refer to the Buddha, referring to its fearlessness and boundless mana. Therefore, in folklore, it also symbolizes bravery and fearlessness.

In today's increasingly fierce market competition, those who can become directors of listed companies are quite economically minded and enterprising, and have a kind of dedication to the courage to compete for the first. Director Wu is naturally no exception, so he has always had a preference for the dragon beast, which symbolizes bravery and fearlessness.

Director Wu has been a little estranged from that friend for a while now, because that friend has not been less negative about Nuo Nuo in front of him before.

Although it was later confirmed to be a rumor, his husband and wife were reconciled as before, and their relationship was even better than before, but Director Wu's previous behavior towards that friend was actually a problem in his heart. It is said that "it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage", and the behavior of destroying the feelings of other people's husbands and wives is always despicable.

This time, when a friend introduced himself to someone who sold Zhang Chongpu's "Fox Diagram", Director Wu originally wanted to refuse to go, but the other party just hit his weakness, who made himself like Foxy?

Director Wu also thought about it carefully, and felt that the previous incident had not brought any serious consequences, so he no longer minded, so he intended to buy this calligraphy and painting.

In fact, he personally doesn't mind the authenticity of calligraphy and painting, even if it is copied, as long as the copying is good enough, he is acceptable.

But Nono was unwilling. Nono was always skeptical about the authenticity of the "Fox Picture" and was unwilling to buy forged calligraphy and paintings, so he strongly demanded a re-appraisal. And the reasons she put forward made Director Wu unable to refuse.

Nuno told her husband: "You like the courage and fearlessness of the fox, so you want to collect this calligraphy and painting." But if this calligraphy and painting is a forgery, isn't it a fake bravery, a fake fearlessness?

Director Wu already loves his wife very much, and the reason proposed by Nuo Nuo feels very reasonable after thinking about it carefully, so he agreed to Nuo Nuo's request for re-identification. This is why Nuo Nuo went to Jianwei Studio to meet Hu Hao before.

At ten o'clock in the morning, as if pinching the time, Hu Hao and Chen Yang arrived at Nuo Nuo's house on time, ready to take away the calligraphy and paintings for identification.

The painting is a portrait of 44 centimeters wide and 163 centimeters long, which has been simply framed and is now preserved in a wooden box in a "volume".

Although Nuo Nuo believed in Hu Hao very much, and directly handed over the painting box and appraisal certificate to the latter, and asked him to send it back after appraisal, Hu Hao insisted on opening and taking pictures before taking over to avoid unnecessary disputes in the future.

Chen Yang's parents also had a hobby of collecting calligraphy and paintings, so he had a preliminary understanding of the preservation of calligraphy and paintings. In order to make it easier to view and take pictures, he specially prepared a brand new 2×2m moisture-proof mat.

Taking advantage of this time, Chen Yang spread the moisture-proof mat brought by Chen Yang on the floor of Nuo Nuo's living room, and carefully smoothed out every wrinkle of the moisture-proof mat to prevent harm from being caused by the laying of calligraphy and painting scrolls.

After Hu Hao signaled that he had finished shooting, Chen Yang opened the picture box, then put on the white gloves prepared in advance and carefully took the picture scroll out of the wooden box, removed the layer of white paper wrapped outside, and laid it flat on the moisture-proof mat.

After waiting for Hu Hao to finish shooting the appearance of the unununfolded scroll again, Chen Yang gently unfolded the scroll little by little.

In order to reduce the damage to calligraphy and painting, although it was indoors, Hu Hao did not use supplemental light. In order to achieve the best shooting effect, the shooting speed is naturally slowed down.

It was almost an hour before the filming was completely over. Chen Yang carefully rolled the calligraphy and painting again, wrapped the outer layer with white paper, and put it back into the painting box.

Hu Hao handed over a receipt to Nuo Nuo, and agreed to return it the next afternoon before saying goodbye to Nuo Nuo and leaving with Chen Yang.

After going out, Chen Yang patted the wooden box containing calligraphy and paintings, and said to Hu Hao proudly: "I'll take this thing first, I've already contacted it, and an uncle will help me do it in the afternoon, he is the honorary president of the Municipal Calligraphy Association." I will be able to inform you of the results as soon as this evening. ”

"What is 'this thing', it may also be an ancient calligraphy and painting. Be careful, don't damage the calligraphy and paintings. Hu Hao watched Chen Yang slap the painting box, and couldn't help but be a little speechless.

"Alright, I got it. Even if this thing is real, it is only in the late Qing Dynasty, and it is not worth a lot of money. ”

"This has nothing to do with whether it is worth it or not, this is the customer's entrustment, if it is damaged because of our relationship, it is our dishonesty, this kind of behavior is simply a ......"

"Smash your own sign, huh? Okay, I know, it's verbose. You say you're just as old as me, and you always talk like my grandfathers. ”

"Nonsense, if we were all like you and didn't do our job, our studio would have been finished. ”

"Alright, stop. Don't say at every turn that I'm not doing my job, and I can't have fun anymore. Chen Yang rolled his eyes, disapproving Hu Hao's words.

"I don't want to talk about you all the time, who makes you not angry. Forget it, I'm too lazy to say it, you go and do a good job of appraisal first, and I'll go back and see if there's anything you can do. Learn a little more, and maybe have the opportunity to expand the scope of our studio in the future. ”

"Don't even think about it. It's so simple for you to identify calligraphy and painting or cultural relics, and you see those old guys who are qualified and capable of playing this - no, I mean those uncles, you see which one of them has not been immersed in this business for many years. I'll admit you're very smart, and you're just a little bit worse than me, but five years is not enough time to do it. ”

"I'm just talking, you take it seriously. Do you think I'm really your grandfather, and I don't know how to joke when I'm so old-fashioned?"

"It's not funny at all. I won't tell you, I'll take a taxi by myself, do whatever you like, wait for my news at night. After Chen Yang finished speaking, he stopped an empty taxi that happened to pass by, got on it and left first.
