This thing was once traded at Sotheby's auction for more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars, but there was only one at that time, and now it is a pair, which also breaks the statement that this thing exists only one at the time, but after a pair, the value of this thing not only did not decrease, but also increased significantly, if these two things are put up for auction now, it is estimated that the price of two or three hundred million is there.

According to expert speculation, this pair of rare treasures may be cultural relics stolen from China by the Eight-Nation Alliance. For many years, this treasure was treated as an ordinary ornament, and no one knew its value. Later, when the family was about to sell a collection of antiques left by their grandfather and father, the auction house experts stumbled upon this rare treasure stained with dust.

Then there was the auction price of more than 40 million Hong Kong dollars, after so many years, the price of this thing can only be higher, and it is still a pair, then it is even more valuable, not to mention the rest of the things, even if it is just this pair of porcelain, Zhang Tianyuan is willing to make a good bet with Liang Zitong.

Pastel was founded in Kangxi and flourished in Yongzheng. In the late Kangxi period, on the basis of enamel colored porcelain made of zuò, Jingdezhen kiln began to fire pastel porcelain, but the making of zuò was coarse, and only pastel dots were used in the flowers of safflower, and other decorations still used colorful zuò. At present, there are two main varieties: one is pastel ware on white ground, and the other is carmine color added to green, yellow and purple porcelain. In the Yongzheng Dynasty, in terms of modeling, glaze and painting, pastel porcelain has been unprecedentedly developed.

Pastel is one of the most famous varieties of Yongzheng color porcelain, the color material is finer than that of the Kangxi Dynasty, and the color is soft. There are many layers of contamination. Most of them are painted on white ground, and a small number are painted on colored ground. The flower butterfly picture is the most, and peonies, moon seasons, begonias, and seasonal flowers are also extremely common. Character story diagram. There are also more in pastels. In addition, the homophonic "bat" (Fu) and "deer" (Lu) patterns in pastel porcelain are very common. At that time, the so-called "over-branching" technique was prominent.

In the early days of Yongzheng, there was a Kangxi colorful style. Pastel ornaments are painted with flowers, butterflies, eight peach bats (meaning more blessings and longevity), over-branch flowers, narcissus ganoderma lucidum, ladies, Magu offering longevity, baby play, etc. The ornamentation is obviously sparse and regular. Such as pastel over the branch peach bat plate, from the outer wall of the plate to paint peach branches and leaves and peaches, through the guò plate mouth to the center of the plate to paint peach branches and leaves and bats, Yongzheng period generally painted 8 peaches, Qianlong painted more than 9, there is "Yongba Qianjiu" said. Yongzheng Chao's painting of the bat has a hook bent down the tip of the wing, and there is a point in the hook, and there is hair on the mouth (but not absolutely). The young ladies are small and have beautiful faces. There may be sparse backgrounds such as mountains, rocks and trees, or leave more blank space. At this time, like the Kangxi Dynasty, more "gold and red color" was used, and the fine works were also written with ink and color above the ornamentation, and the red greeting or pressure corner chapter was painted, revealing the elegant style of the literati at that time. Generally, the folk kiln is mostly painted with pastel ornaments on bowls, plates, furnaces, cans, plate bottles, and small bottles.

Most of the Yongzheng pastel official kilns have two lines of six-character regular script of "Yongzheng Year System of the Great Qing Dynasty". There are private hall names in the folk kiln boutique, and there are also pattern marks, which are highlighted by the blue and white pen, ingots and ruyi painted at the bottom of the vessel, and the homonym "must be ruyi".

Zhang Tianyuan carefully observed. This pair of pastel olive bottles are genuine, and after reading the word trick, there is no problem, and he can't help but want to scold his mother.

"What the hell. When I saw this thing in China, I thought it was the only one in the world, and this Rausch Brit Liang Zitong was actually a pair as soon as he took it out. It's really a bad person. ”

Especially when he thought that this thing was actually stolen from the imperial capital by the group of robbers of the Eight-Nation Alliance, Zhang Tianyuan didn't feel a good feeling in his heart. Why do we have to buy back what you stole at a high price? Dude, I used to be uncomfortable with the things that Bo won, and now I'm at ease, this is really just to get back what should belong to us, cheating is cheating, and I don't know how many similar good things are in the hands of these robbers of dog days, and those descendants also have the face to sell them everywhere, and say that they are their ancestral items, and what is even more shameless is that they have long forgotten the banditry behavior of their ancestors.

After looking at this pair of porcelain, Zhang Tianyuan felt that he didn't need to look at the rest of the things, and this gamble could be decided, but since people took it out, they must have to take a look, after all, the value is not equal.

When he saw the second pair of porcelain, Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but sneer, and said to Liang Zitong: "Let's put this thing away, Mr. Liang is really interesting, this kind of high imitation can also dare to take it out to fill the number, isn't it bullying me Zhang Tianyuan doesn't know the goods?"

Liang Zitong's face was suddenly full of anger, but he was a little embarrassed, he actually knew that this was a high imitation, but he didn't believe that Zhang Tianyuan could see it, so he took it out, after all, even a few experts were almost stumped by this pair of porcelain.

"Zhang Gongzi has a good eye, things are withdrawn!" Liang Zitong gritted his teeth and did not argue, if he still argued at this time, then he would be even more embarrassed, after all, the thing itself is really a fake, if there is an expert to identify it, it will be a shame to lose face, you must know that this is a live broadcast of the gamble.

"Hey, hey, I said Liang Zitong, you don't take our juniors seriously. Who is Zhang Tianyuan? You better inquire carefully, playing fake antiques in front of him, that's similar to getting an axe in the class!" Hu Qiyi has always been straightforward, so if others dare not say it, he dares to say it directly, and he is not afraid of losing Liang Zitong's face.

"Mr. Liang, don't you think my future son-in-law is easy to bully?" Liu Sansheng also slapped the table and stood up and asked.

At this time, he had to do this, even if he didn't want to offend Liang Zitong, but if his future son-in-law was wronged, and he didn't even dare to fart like a turtle bastard, it would be even more embarrassing, don't forget that this is a live broadcast gamble.

In the tea show in Shangpu, Dong Lao, Li Lao and Tu Lao were also watching the live broadcast, although they were not good at gambling, but Stud still understood, seeing this scene at this time, Tu Shou couldn't help laughing and said: "This kid can, hahahaha, I was stunned that Liang Zitong didn't even dare to fart." ”

"Hmph, when it comes to appraising antiques, the old man thinks that Brother Zhang's level is already on par with you and me. Although I can't see Liang Zitong's expression, it should be ugly at this time. You deserve it!" Li Lao Leng snorted and said.

In the courtyard of the imperial capital, Old Man Nie even lined up at the table and shouted "Okay".

"This Englishman. Banana man! Take what the robbers have stolen and show off, and actually look down on my god-grandson, and sincerely look for scolding! Well done, little rabbit!"

On the gambling boat, Uncle He's face was not very good-looking, and he said to Liang Zitong: "Mr. Liang, in addition to this pair of porcelain, which one is a fake, take it down quickly." ”

Liang Zitong looked embarrassed and took another painting away. Now on the gambling table, there are only three things left that Liang Zitong took, one pair is Kangxi's pastel olive bottle, worth about two or three billion, and the other is a painting, but it has not been opened yet.

Zhang Tianyuan didn't say anything at this time, but slowly opened the picture scroll that only survived, which was just a look. I was directly stunned, and I could even say that I was a little dumbfounded, not caring about the content of the painting itself, just the author of the painting. It was enough for Zhang Tianyuan to be shocked. Not to mention that this name is a person who understands antique calligraphy and painting, even if he doesn't understand it at all, he has probably heard of it.

Tang Yin!

The word Bohu. and the word is afraid, and the word is lined. No. 6 is such as a layman, the owner of the peach blossom hermitage, the Tang Sheng of Lu State, the escape of Zen immortals, etc., a native of Wu County, Suzhou. Famous painter and poet of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that he was born in the sixth year of Chenghua of Ming Xianzong, so he was named Yin.

Tang Yin is cynical and talented, poetry and literature are famous, and Zhu Yunming, Wen Zhengming, Xu Zhenqing and called "Wuzhong Four Talents", that is, the folk say "Jiangnan Four Talents", the name of the painting is more, and Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, Qiu Ying and called "Wumen Four Families", also known as "Ming Four Families".

Zhang Tianyuan had heard of this painting, and he had also seen it on the Internet, which was originally supposed to be stored in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the United States, and belonged to Tang Bohu's "Dream Fairy Thatched Cottage".

Sleep in a few sleeps, and dream of a pot in a different day. It seems that Xiyi has his own face, and the trick has to be passed on personally.

That's probably the essence of this painting.

The horizontal picture of this painting is real on the right and on the left, and the real place is written on the lofty mountains, pines, bamboos, waterfalls, and hidden paths, and the thatched cottage is located in the beautiful environment, the visual center. In the hall, there is a Gao Shi sitting on the desk in the form of a "pillow book sleep". The void is about a little continuous mountain, and the empty man disposes of a wide robe and big sleeves, the clothes are neat, and the big sleeves flutter in the wind as if there is a sense of floating in the fairyland. In the picture, the real expression of "pillow book sleep" is extended to the fantasy realm of "dream into the pot", combining reality and illusion, reality and imagination to form a fantasy painting, so that the viewer can have the association of the dream realm, and create a visual aesthetic form in a certain time and space.

Tang Bohu is good at landscapes, figures, flowers and birds, his landscape in the early years with Zhou Chen to learn painting, after the study of Li Tang, Liu Songnian, to change, the painting of the mountains and mountains of the mountains, with a small axe to split for it, majestic and steep, and the brush and ink are fine, the layout is sparse, the style is elegant and handsome. Most of the figure paintings are ladies and historical stories, inheriting the tradition of the Tang Dynasty, with fine lines, bright and elegant colors, beautiful posture and accurate shapes. His paintings of flowers and birds are longer than ink freehand, free and easy, and the style is elegant.

As for saying that this painting was supposed to be stored in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the United States, how it got into Liang Zitong's hands, Zhang Tianyuan didn't care at all, if it was in China, he would be worried that this was stolen goods, and he didn't dare to ask for it, since it was foreign, he didn't care. This thing belongs to the ancestors, and when it comes to his own hands, it can be regarded as returning to his hometown. Anyway, he has already seen it with a word appreciation technique, and this painting is definitely genuine, and it will not be bad at all.

Tang Bohu's paintings have always been auctioned at very high prices, and there was once a "View of the Waterfall of Lushan Mountain" that was auctioned for as much as 590 million US dollars, which was equivalent to more than 3.5 billion RMB at that time. This "Dream Fairy Thatched Cottage Map" may not be able to reach this level, but it is estimated that there are still 100 million US dollars, and there are six or seven billion yuan when converted into RMB, plus the pair of Yongzheng pastels, which are basically equivalent in value to his few things, it seems that the other party's appraisal experts are not vegetarians, and because of this, they will come up with two fakes to fill the number.

Since this is the case, Zhang Tianyuan is not smart enough to let the other party take a few more things, otherwise he will make a fool of himself, after reading the things, he smiled and said: "Actually, Mr. Liang doesn't have to use fakes to fill the number, these three things are worth the same as my four things, I am very satisfied, and I can start gambling now."
