"Uh......"

Wang Guan asked a few questions, but Yu Feibai was stunned for a moment, but his reaction was also very fast, and he immediately asked: "You say this, do you know these situations?" ”

"I can't say I know, but there's a rough guess."

Feeling that the time had come, Wang Guan no longer sold Guanzi, and smiled directly: "Don't you think that the background information of the first Mr. Zhu Da is very similar to a certain person?" ”

"Like whom?" Yu Feibai pondered, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Zhu Da!"

Wang Guan said a name, but Yu Feibai didn't react, frowning and saying, "Who?" ”

Seeing that Yu Feibai still didn't understand, Wang Guan simply explained neatly: "I'm talking about the Bada Mountain People, Zhu Qi!" ”

"What?"

For a moment, Yu Feibai was very surprised: "Won't it?" Bada Shanren is a great painter, I haven't heard that he can burn porcelain. ”

"If you haven't heard of it, it doesn't mean that people won't." Wang Guan said with a smile: "Actually, if you study the life and deeds of Bada Mountain, you will know that he is a descendant of Ning Wang Zhu Quan, the sixteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty. After King Ning changed the title of Nanchang, the descendants of the past dynasties lived in Nanchang all over the country, divided into eight branches, and the eight mountain people were the seventh grandson of King Yiyang. ”

"Nanchang is not far from porcelain, as long as you have the heart, it is not difficult to learn this craft."

While speaking, Wang Guan recalled: "I remember that some literary and historical sources mentioned that the Bada Mountain people lived a life of monks and Taoists, not mainly because of religious beliefs, but in order to escape the persecution of the Ming Dynasty clan by the Manchurian nobles of the Qing Dynasty, so they often had to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and hide their names incognito, so as to hide and preserve themselves. ”

Even so, he didn't feel safe and traveled a lot. Every time I went out, I had to leave for three to five months before I returned home. No one can say exactly where it went. ”

Wang Guan gave an example. Then affirmed: "So I think that the Bada Shanren are very suspicious, and nine times out of ten they are the first Mr. Zhu Da." Of course, I am not only speculating, but also having physical evidence. ”

"What physical evidence?" Yu Feibai hurriedly asked, "Is that a painting?" ”

"It's not a painting."

At the right time, Wang Guan said with a smile: "Have you forgotten that when I was in the porcelain capital, didn't I find Mr. Zhu Da's abandoned workshop, which has a volume of notes, which should be written by Mr. Zhu Da himself." Just compare the text of the note with the calligraphy of the Bada Shanren. It's easy to draw conclusions. ”

"Well, that seems right." When Yu Feibai heard this, he immediately turned his head and said, "Old Qian, do you think Wang Guan is right?" ”

"Yes."

At this time, Qian Lao no longer avoided it, simply nodded neatly in acknowledgement, and then smiled happily: "Did you already have such an idea when you dug up the notes?" It's rare that you can't bear to say it until now. ”

"I'm just guessing."

At this time, Wang Guan was also a little happy, and then explained: "At the beginning. I didn't think about it, but one day, when I was researching the information of the Bada Shanren, I saw the name Zhu Qi. and his life deeds, I can't help but think of it. Since I haven't been sure, I'm embarrassed to advertise it. ”

"Until a few days ago, I felt that Qian Lao seemed to be very concerned about the calligraphy and painting of the Bada Mountain People. Then I thought of Mr. Zhu Da's notes, and I was a little sure......"

After explaining, Wang Guan was also very curious: "Old Qian." Zhu Qi and Mr. Zhu Da, are they really the same person? ”

"Haven't you already listed many reasons, why are you not sure?" Qian Lao was in a good mood and said with a smile: "Since the evidence is conclusive, then why doubt it anymore." ”

"It's not that I'm skeptical, but I feel a little ...... Against all odds. ”

At the right time, Wang Guan sighed softly: "For no reason, who would have thought that two people would actually be one." One is a world-famous painter, and the other is a master of firing fake porcelain. ”

"Who said it couldn't be beaten." Qian Lao shook his head and said: "You said it very clearly, he has such timing and motivation, and he is very qualified, it's not that he can have anyone." Moreover, it should be easier for a painter to switch to porcelain burning than others. After all, when depicting porcelain decorations, you don't have to bother others to do it, just solve it yourself. ”

"That's right."

Yu Feibai next to him nodded again and again, but he was still amazed.

Because he never thought that Mr. Zhu Da was still a famous figure in history, it was too subversive. It is estimated that this is the reason, so even if Qian Lao and others know the details of Mr. Zhu Da, they did not publicize it to the end, so as not to destroy the good image of Bada Shanren in the minds of many people.

You must know that Bada Shanren is not an ordinary person, he is a great painter who has influenced the painting world for hundreds of years, and there are countless fans. Whoever calls him smear, just wait to be condemned by the mouth.

Even if it's not a smear, it's not enough to say the truth, because there are still brainless fans in the world......

Perhaps based on this, Qian Laocai chose to conceal it.

"Anyway, it's hundreds of years ago, and there's no need to dig over old accounts."

Qian Lao explained: "Besides, what Mr. Zhu Da did at that time, although it was a little inappropriate, but on the whole, it did not threaten the development of the entire industry. Unlike Mr. Zhu Da more than 20 years ago, he has completely violated the original intention of the original Mr. Zhu Da and got into the eyes of money. ”

"Yes, that's it." Yu Feibai thought so: "When Mr. Zhu Da was the first generation of the Manchu magnates, he was naturally arrogant. But the previous or current Mr. Zhu Da is all his own people, so he is naturally unforgivable. ”

"Then again."

At the same time, Yu Feibai was very curious: "Old Qian, the previous Mr. Zhu Da, is it really that Hewei?" ”

"Hmm."

Although Qian Lao was also a little hesitant, he finally nodded and admitted: "It's him......"

"Sure enough."

Looking at Qian Lao's expression, Yu Feibai knew that there must be a lot of inside information to dig up, and said with a smile at the moment: "Qian Lao, it's already been said anyway, don't hide it." Tell us, what is the origin of this Herwei? ”

"Where did it come from?"

Qian Lao groaned, raised his glass and took a sip of tea, then nodded and said, "There are indeed some origins, and the origins are not small." The person in charge of the porcelain kiln factory back then, you said it was big enough. ”

"The person in charge of the porcelain kiln factory!"

For a while, Yu Feibai was also a little surprised: "It's really not small, and the treatment should be good." What was the reason why he became Mr. Zhu Da and left a lot of infamy? ”

"Greed!" Qian Lao sighed lightly: "People's hearts are insufficient, and it is difficult to fill their desires. ”

Wang Guan and Yu Feibai were also very eye-catching, and they noticed that there seemed to be some different meanings in Qian Lao's sigh. At the moment, he was not in a hurry to ask, but waited for Qian Lao to explain himself.

"Not only that, but he's also a friend we've had for many years."

After a moment of silence, Qian Lao continued: "Until the matter is revealed, we don't want to believe that Mr. Zhu Da is actually him. It's a pity that this is a fact, a helpless fact. ”

“…… After discovering that we came to the door, he did not hide it, and directly admitted that he was Mr. Zhu Da. ”

While speaking, Qian Lao fell into reminiscences: "According to his own explanation, he inadvertently discovered the secret recipe left by the first Mr. Zhu Da, and after studying it, he finally succeeded in recovering it. The original intention of the beginning was nothing more than to imitate the antique, to shock the world, and by the way, to start the fame of the kiln factory. ”

However, when he made the first batch of antique porcelain, it happened that a wealthy overseas merchant came to visit and found something, but he thought it was real antique porcelain and was willing to buy it at a high price. At that time, he was also a little hesitant, but at the insistence of the rich businessman, he agreed half-pushed."

Qian Lao sighed: "Afterwards, he was also a little weak-hearted, and planned to return the money, and told the rich merchant that the thing was an imitation that he had fired himself." However, he didn't expect that the rich businessman didn't believe it at all, thinking that he was reluctant to sell things, so he was ready to regret it. As a result, his money was not returned, but he took a few thousand dollars back. ”

"The ancients said well, a thousand miles of embankment is destroyed in an anthill."

Speaking of this, Qian Lao sighed: "The rich merchant brought things back, changed hands and made a profit, and then recognized him, and often ran to ask him if he had the same antique porcelain." After a long time, he was so annoyed that he directly gave it up, and even fired a batch of antique porcelain directly in front of the rich businessman, thinking that the rich businessman should die and be ready to return the money. ”

However, the rich merchant was surprised, but he moved his mind and took away this batch of antique porcelain in his hands. Soon after, he returned and stacked the bills into a bed, signaling that it was his reward. At that time, it was not long after the reform and opening up, and the domestic economy had just started, and he had never seen so much money, so he was moved, lost, and naturally degenerated......"

At this time, Qian Lao's face was expressionless: "Under the guidance of the wealthy businessman, the two secretly recruited people to develop the precious porcelain of the past dynasties, and since then they have been out of control, and then they have fallen deeper and deeper, and embarked on the road of no return...... After the incident, the matter was explained clearly, and the next morning, everyone found out that he had committed suicide in prison. ”

Hearing this, Wang Guan and Yu Feibai also sighed silently. And don't look at Qian Lao's words so blandly, but the mood is definitely not good, after all, to a certain extent, Hewei's suicide has something to do with them. It's no wonder that a few days ago, when Qian Lao heard the name Hewei, his face changed.

Of course, it can't be said that Qian Lao and others did something wrong, and even forced their friends to death. You must know that the sins of heaven are forgivable, but the sins of oneself cannot be lived, and the reason for the tragedy of Hewei is not that Qian Lao and others killed their relatives in righteousness, but that his greed harmed himself.

After a while, Wang Guan was relieved: "Old Qian, since the matter has passed, it is useless to think so much. By the way, now it's clear whether that Mr. Yao was the fish that slipped through the net back then. ”

"Yes, and the rich businessman, have you been brought to justice?" Yu Feibai also hurriedly asked.

People's greed also needs to be induced to sprout. Undoubtedly, that wealthy businessman was one of the main factors that induced Hervey to go astray. Otherwise, Hervey may have become a world-renowned master of art...... (To be continued......)
