Chapter 104: The Treasure of the Town
Dong Lao looked a little helpless, he seemed to think that Zhang Tianyuan couldn't accept this result, so he patted Zhang Tianyuan on the shoulder, sighed and said: "Time is also fate, you don't have to care too much, it only cost a thousand yuan, not much, much smaller than the old man's loss back then, as the so-called eat a trench to grow wise, take your time, you are still young, there is a chance to learn." ”
When Zhang Tianyuan heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart, he admitted that he may not be able to compare with these old men in terms of experience and skills in treasure appreciation, but with the six-character true trick, he can make up for these disadvantages, and now the question is how to use a lie to let Dong Lao carefully check whether there is any mystery in the gold dust decorated rice paper.
was thinking of a way, but Li Lao spoke first: "Lao Dong, I'm afraid you're going to smash the signboard this time." ”
"Old thing, you don't talk nonsense. ”
"I'm not talking nonsense, you know the truth, the touch of my hand is more powerful than your eyes, what you see may be fake, but what I touch, it will never be fake, if it is just rice paper coated with gold dust, it is definitely not that feeling. Li Lao explained.
Hearing Li Lao's words, Dong Lao obviously raised his eyebrows, as if he thought of something, he looked at the gold dust smeared rice paper again, and his eyes flashed with excitement.
"This layer of gold powder is very cleverly applied, both waterproof and anti-corrosion, obviously with care, so the general method is afraid that it will not work, it seems that I have to use my unique skills. Dong Lao suddenly turned his head and glanced at Zhang Tianyuan and said, "Xiao Zhang, can you go out of the city first?"
Zhang Tianyuan was stunned for a moment, but his feet did not move.
He knows that some crafts cannot be passed on, and even the saying that men are not passed on to women, that belongs to the craftsman's eating, passed to you, he will have no food to eat, as the so-called teaching apprentices, starving to death of the master is this reason.
Why are Europe and the United States unwilling to teach China the technology of aircraft engine manufacturing? In fact, this principle is the same, and some cutting-edge high technology is actually the same as these eating techniques.
But he couldn't get out.
Li Lao coughed dryly and said: "Lao Dong, how can you let Xiao Zhang go out of the court, you don't want to think about it, if this is really Wang Xizhi's real handiwork, does he dare to go out of the road? Although Xiao Zhang and you and I are old friends, let alone friends, even if they are brothers, can you not blush at such a valuable thing? This porcelain can't be handed over, not to mention the authentic work of Wang Xizhi that has never appeared, how are you confused? ”
"The old man is not a person who covets other people's things. Dong Lao said righteously.
"Lao Dong, why do you live more and more, trust between people is not something that can be formed overnight. Oh, even if you're not that kind of person, what if it's not Wang Xizhi's authentic handiwork? If this is going to get out, won't it be mistaken that you have changed the bag? This kind of thing can't be explained, do you want to lose the night?"
This time, he stopped Dong Lao, he frowned, and suddenly looked at Zhang Tianyuan and said, "What do you think?"
Zhang Tianyuan won't go out anyway, he is not too familiar with Dong Lao and Li Lao, and he has only met for the third time, Wang Xizhi's words, that is worth hundreds of millions, who knows if they will see wealth?
It's good to say that he spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, anyway, he thinks that it is better to be a villain first and then a gentleman, better than a gentleman before a villain.
"That's it, Dong Lao, I'll take the things back today, whether it's true or not, I'll take it myself. After thinking about it, Zhang Tianyuan still thinks that this method is the best, and in fact, Dong Lao has already completed the more difficult work, this is the last step, he believes that relying on his imitation of words, even if he does it according to the method in the book, it can be successful, but it may waste more time.
Hearing this, Dong Lao was anxious, he hurriedly pressed the gold powder rice paper and said: "In this way, let's talk about it first, if this is really Wang Xizhi's words, or other people's words, then you have to sell it to the old man first, how about it?"
"That's fine. Zhang Tianyuan nodded and said.
"In addition, you have to promise never to use my technique in the future!" Dong Lao said again.
"This ......" Zhang Tianyuan was a little uncomfortable when he heard this, he didn't know what Lu Dao Dong's so-called unique skills were, what if he didn't know what to do if he developed the same technique by himself in the future?
Just as he was having a headache, suddenly Xiao Shenluo flew to Zhang Tianyuan's shoulder and rubbed his face.
At this moment, Zhang Tianyuan suddenly thought of a good idea.
"By the way, I'll put this eagle here, and I'll go out of here. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
When the two old men heard it, hey, this is a good idea, because the three of them understand that even if this eagle is psychic, he can remember relatively simple movements, such as whether Dong Lao and Li Lao have changed their paintings, but they can't remember the complicated skills, which is simply a wonderful good idea.
"Okay, fortunately, you brought this eagle with you today, otherwise it would have been really difficult. Dong Lao also laughed, obviously a lot more relaxed.
Zhang Tianyuan put Shenluo on Li Lao's shoulder, and then walked out of the room by himself.
After standing at the door for more than ten minutes, Dong Lao's wife came out and saw it, so she invited him to the hall to drink a few more cups of tea.
It took nearly an hour for him to hear the excited shouts of Dong Lao inside.
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhang Tianyuan heard this voice, excitedly went straight to the framing room, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a rectangular gold leaf on the table, very beautiful, and on top of the gold leaf, there was also a layer of special things, making the gold leaf as easy to write as paper, and this layer of paint has been so long, there is no trace of falling off, it seems that the wisdom of the ancients is far more clever than people imagine today.
"Whose word, whose word?" Zhang Tianyuan asked anxiously.
He was really anxious and excited, after all, buying this thing before was just speculation, whether there were words on the gold leaf, whose words it was, he couldn't identify it at all, even if it was a word trick, he couldn't see it thoroughly.
Dong Lao laughed like a child there, he couldn't close his mouth, and he didn't have time to talk.
But Li Lao is quite calm...... I guess it's counted......
Zhang Tianyuan was also a little unsure, because he found that although Li Lao didn't laugh, his hands were shaking so badly that he was like a sheep's madness.
He had no choice but to look for himself, but he was amazed when he saw it, because he had seen the words on the gold leaf.
The pen is implicit but not revealed, such as the horse bending the bow and regretting not to send it, which seems to be a relatively static state, but it is more desirable than the horse galloping and the arrow leaving the string. In ancient times, there was a saying of "hiding the edge", that is, not to let the sharp pen appear too much, and even hide like a sword in the sheath, and the sharp spirit will not be discharged.
As a calligrapher's performance, it should be as the Ming scholar Lu Shiyong said: "Swallow the depths of the shallow, want to reveal and hide, then feel that this intention is infinite." ”
This thing turned out to be one of the nine "treasures of the town"!
"Lu Ji! It turned out to be Lu Ji's "Pingfu Post"!" Zhang Tianyuan couldn't help but scream, but then, he began to calm down again.
As far as he knows, Lu Ji's "Pingfu Post" should be in the Palace Museum now, and it is not written in gold leaf, could this be a copy?
It's not right.,Judging from the dragon phase.,It should be the amount of work between the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Western Jin Dynasty.,There will definitely be no fake.,On the contrary, this is more likely to be the true work of Lu Ji.。
The most important thing is that Zhang Tianyuan once saw the authentic photo of the Palace Museum collection on the Internet, and the words on it are almost the same as the words on the gold leaf, that is to say, both may be true, both are from the hand of Lu Ji, or from the hand of the same copyist, but there is no doubt that both are absolute rare treasures.
Lu Ji, the word Shiheng, a person from Wu County, a writer, calligrapher, and official of the Western Jin Dynasty, the grandson of Lu Xun, the prime minister of Eastern Wu, and the fourth son of Lu Kang, the great Sima of Eastern Wu, and his younger brother Lu Yun are collectively called "Erlu".
He is "a rare genius, and his articles are world-famous", and he and his younger brother Lu Yunju are famous literary scholars in the Western Jin Dynasty of China, and are known as "Taikang Zhiying".
As a calligrapher, his work "Pingfu Post" is the earliest surviving celebrity calligraphy in ancient China.
This person is not simple in itself, and his works are even less simple, and in a sense, they may even be more historically significant than Wang Xizhi's words.
"Dong Lao, Li Lao, you should have seen the "Pingfu Post" in the Palace Museum, is this true or false?" Zhang Tianyuan still wanted to hear the opinions of these two treasure connoisseurs.
After all, even if he says it's true, and others don't admit it, it's meaningless.
Dong Lao had regained his composure a little at this time, and he said with a smile: "It won't be wrong, it won't be wrong, in the old man's opinion, this painting is more complete and the handwriting is clearer, and in terms of collection value, I am afraid it is higher than the one in the Palace Museum." ”
"It can't be. Zhang Tianyuan stuck out his tongue and said.
"Impossible? Hehe, the old man has been collecting for so many years, and he will definitely not look away, you kid is not lucky this time, but lucky!" Dong Lao looked at Zhang Tianyuan enviously and said.
"Lao Dong is right, once your thing comes out, it will definitely be auctioned at a sky-high price, I'm afraid that the country will come to fight for it, I think, you either deal with it privately, or directly give it to the country, this thing is a priceless treasure in the real sense, how much money to give, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, because there has never been a precedent for auction. Li Lao thought for a while.
"Aren't you two interested?" asked Zhang Tianyuan with a smile.
He doesn't want to donate to the country, first, the museum already has a "Pingfu Post", more than this one is not much, less this one is a lot, and secondly, the folk collection may not be as good as the country, you must know that for thousands of years, the real good things are handed down by private collectors.
There is another reason, even if it is **, the country can't give too much money, and I'm not that great, donate it to the Palace Museum?
If the state really wants it, the auction is enough, and they can buy back the antiques from foreigners at a high price, so why can't they buy them from their own people?
Of course, if it can be sold privately, it would be the best, so Zhang Tianyuan asked what Li Lao and Dong Lao meant.
