Chapter 153: Ma Shaoxuan

Through special abilities, inside the inner painting snuff bottle, the space of square inches is in Wang Guan's grasp.

Through the small eyelet, Wang Guan found that there was a little place on the inner wall of Yongmei, the anti-carved divination operator, which was covered up and smeared with a powder-like paint.

This discovery made Wang Guan feel very strange.

Unfortunately, the eyelets were too small to reach in and wipe the paint clean.

After thinking about it, Wang Guan turned over the duffel bag in the back seat of the car, took out a pack of cotton swabs, took out one of the slender ones, gently probed into the inside of the snuffbox, and carefully rubbed it.

Because the inner wall of the snuff bottle is evenly sanded by iron sand balls and gold steel sand, the wall surface is very rough. Therefore, not only the text depicting plum blossoms and Yongmei words, but also firmly attached to Chapter 153 Ma Shaoxuan in the inner wall. And that bit of powder was also pasted very steadily, and Wang Guan wiped it back and forth with a small cotton swab for a few long times, but only wiped off a thin layer.

The main thing is that Wang Guan didn't dare to use too much force, lest he wipe off the things that were hidden under the powder. However, even though the powder is only brushed off a little, a few blurry words can be seen when viewed from the outside.

A few words are below the inscription of the poem Yongmei, followed by the Xinhai winter, plus an oval white text seal the size of a bean, which is connected into a complete style.

Seeing this situation, Wang Guan suddenly realized and said to himself: "No wonder, just now I always felt that after the sunset in Xinhai winter, something seemed to be missing, and it turned out that the name of the producer was missing." ”

"Wang Guan, what are you muttering?"

At this time. Yu Feibai looked back, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I didn't have a good rest last night, I'm a little tired now, you can drive for me for a while." ”

Last night, he focused on watching the peach blossom cups and didn't go to bed until about two o'clock in the morning. This morning, I was called by Wang Guan at seven o'clock. After driving for more than an hour, of course a little tired.

"In the winter of Xinhai, Ma Shaoxuan made ......"

However. Wang Chapter 153 entered the house Ma Shaoxuanguan turned a deaf ear, and his eyes looked fixedly at the money in the snuff bottle, and he vaguely felt it. The name seems to have been heard somewhere.

"Click!"

Suddenly, Yu Feibai stepped on the brakes, and the off-road vehicle stopped. At this time, his eyes were bright, and he no longer had the slightest tiredness, but asked a little eagerly: "Wang Guan, what did you just say?" ”

Because he didn't say hello and braked urgently, Wang Guan's body also swayed and completely came back to his senses.

"Fly white. Pay attention to safe driving, otherwise what to do if there is an accident. Wang Guan complained, and when he saw that the snuff box was still firmly in his hand, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Luckily, there is a seat belt strapped. So nothing happened.

"I'm sorry."

Yu Feibai said abruptly: "The main reason is to hear you mention Ma Shaoxuan, and I was a little excited for a while. ”

"Who is Ma Shaoxuan, why are you so excited when you mention him?" Wang Guan was puzzled.

"Yesterday at Feng's hometown, didn't I say it." Yu Feibai explained: "I fell in love with a snuff bottle, but the price was too expensive. Can't afford it at all. ”

Wang Guan was stunned, his heart was shocked, and he hurriedly asked: "You mean, that snuff bottle is Ma Shaoxuan's work?" ”

"That's right."

Yu Feibai nodded regretfully and said: "At that time, the snuff bottle with the inner painting was auctioned for nearly five million, where do I have this spare money." I could only watch the snuffbox and be photographed away. ”

"Five million?" Wang Guan was extremely stunned, and couldn't help asking: "What is the origin of this Ma Shaoxuan, how can his inner painting snuff bottle be so expensive?" ”

"The four masters of the Beijing faction, have you heard of it?"

At this time, Yu Feibai drove back on the road and casually explained: "Since the art of inner painting pots has appeared, it has reached its peak in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, and many famous craftsmen have emerged. Ma Shaoxuan was one of the four famous masters of the Beijing School of internal painting at that time. ”

At that time, there was a passage that was specifically used to describe these four famous artists. Ma Shaoxuan, elegant and vulgar appreciation, Ye Zhongsan, Yangchun Baixue, Zhou Leyuan, and Wu Chang'an, all civil and military materials. Among them, Ma Shaoxuan ranked first and won the capital. Even the royal nobles and celebrities at that time were proud to collect a Shaoxuan painting pot. ”

Yu Feibai sighed: "For example, Li Hongzhang, the great eunuch Li Lianying, the art master Mei Lanfang and others have all been personally gifted by Ma Shaoxuan, and they have become the envy of everyone at that time. ”

"Is that an exaggeration?" Wang Guan was surprised.

"It's not an exaggeration at all." Yu Feibai smiled: "You can go back and check the information." Ma Shaoxuan's inner painting pot art is famous at home and abroad, and in 1915, it won the gold medal at the Panama International Exposition in the United States. An American expert even commented in his own book that Ma Shaoxuan was the Picasso of the inner pot artists. ”

Since then, Ma Shaoxuan's fame has risen to a higher level. His works are not only sought after in China, but also become the target of European royalty and aristocrats, as well as major museums and private collectors around the world. ”

Yu Feibai sighed and said: "Therefore, most of Ma Shaoxuan's inner painting pots are abroad, but they are rare in China. Even if some appear occasionally, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake, and most of them are fakes. ”

Wang Guan frowned and pondered, and then asked: "What are the characteristics of Ma Shaoxuan's inner painting pot?" ”

"He is known for his inner painting skills of one side of poetry and one side painting, and the most distinctive feature is that he is rich in calligraphy and painting, full of poetry and painting, and his painting work is extremely exquisite. The font is Ouyang Xun's regular script, which is very neat and rigorous. ”

Yu Feibai recalled: "Moreover, it is generally depicted in the position of the inscription, depicting the oval seal of the word Shaoxuan. ”

"Is that what it looks like?" Wang Guan said, and handed the inner painting snuffbox in his hand to Yu Feibai's eyes.

"Click!"

Yu Feibai glanced at it, the steering wheel was wrong, and he almost took the car to the ditch. Fortunately, his response was timely, and there were not too many vehicles on the road, so there was no accident.

"Hey, be careful."

Wang Guan exclaimed, his left hand tightly grasped the seat belt, and his heart and liver almost burst out of his chest.

"Who told you to scare me?"

Yu Fei said with a white mouth, but he still wiped a cold sweat, carefully parked the car on the side of the road, and then hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "I didn't see it clearly just now, show me something fast......"

"Here, you go."

After Wang Guan handed the inner painting pot in his hand to Yu Feibai, he immediately unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car, went around to the other side, and instructed Yu Feibai to give up the driver's position with a serious face.

The two encounters made Wang Guan no longer worry about Yu Feibai's current state, and simply drove by himself.

"It's long overdue."

Yu Feibai was very refreshed, immediately moved his position, sat on the passenger seat, and carefully looked at the inner painting pot.

Wang Guan got into the car, tied the seat belt, and drove away cautiously. In other words, he also got a driver's license, but he never had the money to buy a car before, and now it is the first time to travel by car.

It was also on the highway in the barren mountains and wilderness that Wang Guan had the courage to do so. If it was in the middle of the city, he would not be so sure, and would rather take a taxi than be a road killer.

After driving for a few minutes with unfamiliar technology, Wang Guan heard Yu Feibai shouting: "This inner painting pot, the more you look at it, the more it looks like the real thing." ”

"Are you sure?" Wang Guan asked, a little serious. If it is really Ma Shaoxuan's inner painting pot, then according to Yu Feibai, it is worth at least several million. Then, he has this thing in his hand, and he has to send it back to Feng Lao quickly.

In fact, Wang Guan also knew that his question was a superfluous move, after all, the thing was identified by his special ability, judging from the color of the treasure light on the inner painting pot, it must be a hundred years old. In addition, the words in the pot were covered up, as well as Ma Shaoxuan's seal, and the truth was about to come out.

It should be that after someone got this Ma Shaoxuan's inner painting pot, he was afraid of being coveted by others, so he simply used a layer of powder to paste Ma Shaoxuan's name and seal. Later, the things went to the market and were used as ordinary antique painting pots, and finally one of Feng Lao's students bought them and gave them to him.

Coincidentally, this thing was quietly placed in a brocade box by Feng Lao as a gift and transferred to Wang Guan.

If it weren't for Wang Guanbai's boredom, he took the inner painting pot out to watch and play, and even used special abilities to watch, so he discovered the mystery in the pot. Otherwise, I don't know how long it will take for this secret to be discovered.

After all, there are so many types of snuff bottles, and inner painting bottles are just one of them. There are also many schools of inner painting pots, and the Beijing school is just one of them.

Although Ma Shaoxuan is a master of the Beijing School of internal painting, not everyone has seriously studied his works. Besides, the main evidence of this inner painting pot has been covered up. In the absence of payment, even senior experts who study snuff bottles may not be able to identify at a glance that this is Ma Shaoxuan's work.

Therefore, without Wang Guan's discovery, maybe this inner painting pot has not been taken seriously, and it may be damaged at some point and completely disappear in the dust of history.

When Wang Guan sighed in his heart, he heard Yu Feibai shake his head and say: "The thing looks very real, but Ma Shaoxuan's few words and seals are a little blurry. ”

"Nonsense."

Wang Guan said angrily: "It was on the inner wall of the pot, and someone pasted a layer of powder, which covered the word print." I just accidentally noticed that something was wrong, and I wiped some powder with a cotton swab before the word mark appeared. ”

"Ha, I see. I said yesterday, why didn't I notice that there was this money on the pot. ”

Yu Feibai suddenly realized, and at the same time stroked the inner painting pot with affection, and said excitedly: "Then, I am now ninety percent sure that this inner painting pot is Ma Shaoxuan's work." ”

"Ninety percent?" Wang Guan frowned and said, "Can't you be completely sure?" Judging from the shape, color, and texture of the pot, this is definitely not something new. ”

"Nine out of ten chances, it's already very high." Yu Feibai explained: "Moreover, even if it is certain that this inner painting pot is an antique, it is not certain that it is Ma Shaoxuan's thing." You must know that at that time, Ma Shaoxuan was already a well-known master at home and abroad. His inner painting snuff bottle is very valuable, so there are many people who forge it......"
