Chapter 277: Water Comes Naturally (Text)

At noon, everyone rested for a while, and in the afternoon, they opened the dragon gate array, but it was talking about Wu Chen's ancient paintings, such as this kind of painting with the meaning of "immediately sealing the marquis", in the Ming and Qing dynasties, there are really a lot.

Because there is no payment, the age can only be determined by the paper and the picture, and then the author can be judged by the pictorial brushstrokes.

Speaking of Shen Quan, most outsiders don't know his name, Wu Chen is also confused, he knows little about calligraphy and painting, except for a few famous masters or widely recited by the people, other famous artists have no impression.

Even Xu Shaodong knows very little, although Ma Lao is also a Bona Baijia, but he himself is mainly engaged in porcelain, and he only has a general understanding of other categories.

This Shen Quan, also a strange person, in the ninth year of Yongzheng, at the invitation of the Japanese emperor, together with his disciples Zheng Pei, Gao Jun and other eastward to Japan, lasted 3 years, the formation of the "Nanping School" sketch painting, deeply respected by the Japanese, known as "the first foreign painter", from the study of painting quite a lot, the Japanese Edo period Nagasaki school was formed under its influence, especially Maruyama should be the most famous.

After returning to the country, the imperial court ordered Shen Quan to paint tribute, Qianlong 7 years of "Lady Flower Lady Palace Words" was well received, in addition, Shen Quan also successively for the court to make auspicious paintings, so Shen Quan and his disciple Tong Heng in the history of Chinese painting is known as the court painter, in Qianlong 27 years 81-year-old Shen Quan can also make "flowers and birds".

His works include "Wulun Picture", "Bird in Liuyin", "Autumn Flower Raccoon Slave", "Peach Double Pheasant", "Pine Crane", "Plum Blossom Ribbon", "Crane Group", "Pine Deer" and so on. In particular, the 78-year-old "Double Crane Picture", with full composition and strong brushwork, is known as a masterpiece in his later years.

It's just that I don't know why, this pair of "Immediately Fenghou" has not been paid, and it is also used as a hanging thing at home, which is likely to be a trial work.

In recent years, the market price of Shen Quan's works has been rising, and at the recent auction, "Deer in Songxi" was sold for 28 million yuan, and with commission, it sold for 30.8 million yuan.

However, this painting, because it has not been signed and has not been included in the catalogue, so even if it is genuine, the market price is not high, so Liu Lao suggested that Wu Chen collect it himself and use it for research.

Wu Chen put away the "Seal the Marquis Immediately" and prepared to go back to Gegu Zhai, how to say it, it is also a genuine handiwork, and the meaning is good! Gegu Zhai can't always rely on some imitations or handicrafts to support the façade.

It is said that every time Wu Chen goes to Rong Bao Zhai, he is shocked by the calligraphy and paintings hanging all over the rooms and corridors. Although Gegu Zhai has just opened, I am afraid that he can't even get a decent object in it now, but he is not in a hurry, take his time, and start with this Shen Quan's no-money "Seal the Marquis Immediately"!

"This kid is so hard! He can touch anything, God specially favors him! Without waiting for Wu Chen to finish collecting, Xu Shaodong first expressed a sigh of emotion, the same people have different lives, that's what he said.

When he said this, everyone laughed, but Kong Si was proud in his heart, don't look at Wu Chen who got so many things, he still can't compare with himself! As for the Tai'a Ancient Sword in his hand, if he takes it out, he won't shock the entire industry!

However, he also knows the truth of Lu Dao's guilt, just this sword, in case of a little rumor, I don't know how many people are staring at Lu Dao, black and white, bright and secret, it is impossible to prevent it! In addition, the encounter of this trip to Phoenix Mountain was too unbelievable, and Wu Chen specially told everyone not to say anything, so he didn't tell anyone, and he didn't mention it to Tian Lao.

"That's talent! In our profession, almost every dynasty has an outstanding master connoisseur. After Tian Lao smiled, he said slowly, "Most of these people are born with divine endowments, and they can only achieve something if they work hard." ”

"Well, talent, hard work, opportunity, plus a famous teacher, these are a few factors that make a master." Xu Shaodong nodded hurriedly, and said in a fart-wrenching manner, but the word famous teacher bit very hard.

He is not showing off, there are three young people here, he and Kong Si can be said to have "famous teachers", only Wu Chen, who has the best talent and opportunity, seems to be still alone, Xu Shaodong said this, and the two old men could hear a little voice-over.

Liu Lao looked at Xu Shaodong meaningfully, these two boys were actually playing the side drum for Wu Chen, which was something that had never happened before

It's kind of interesting!

For Wu Chen, he is also very satisfied, he himself really moved this thought, just like Xu Shaodong said, talent, hard work, and opportunities are not problems in Wu Chen's body, and the heart is also very in line with his mind.

It's just that for so many years, he didn't accept apprentices, and there was a reason, once he entered the rivers and lakes, it was as deep as the sea, and the Tao in it was not something that a few of their young people could experience, without the support of a strong force, they could be swallowed at any time without even a bone. And this is precisely the weakness of this kid Wu Chen!

If he accepts Wu Chen's apprentice and teaches the profession, it is only the most basic, in addition to this, use all resources to push this disciple to a certain height, so that he has the strength to protect himself, this is the most important and the most difficult.

But then again, this thing has to be done after all, and it is not that I have not investigated some of it over the years, but for various reasons, there was no chance in the end. Seeing that he is also old and decayed, he will not accept apprentices, in case this vein is broken in his hands, it will be difficult to explain when he goes underground.

As an old friend, acquaintance and acquaintance in danger, decades of wind and rain, Tian Lao naturally knew Liu Lao's concerns, at this moment everyone quieted down, Tian Lao pondered for a while, and suddenly said slowly: "Cheng Zhu."

What do you mean? Wu Chen saw that Liu Lao's face was obviously dark, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, but let him search his intestines and scrape his stomach, and he didn't know what Lu Daotian was talking about, on this occasion, nine out of nine would not be talking about the two old masters of Cheng Zhu Lixue, in addition, is there such a combination?

Kong Sizhi said that Wu Chen, this buddy, except for luck and inexplicable intuition, doesn't know much about the things in the industry, just those few incision jargon, they are all listening to themselves and Xu Shaodong when chatting.

glanced at him, and saw that he was really at a loss, so he whispered in his ear: "Cheng Fang, Zhu Fang!" ”

Wu Chen frowned slightly when he heard this, he didn't know what Cheng Fang was, but Zhu Fang sounded familiar, it was broadcast in TV series, it seemed to be a guy named Zhu Boqin, who was good at high imitation, almost chaotic, even the old connoisseur couldn't tell the difference!

But what does this have to do with you? Why did Tian Lao mention this at this moment?

In the antique shop, when it comes to Cheng Fang and Zhu Fang, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a change in color when it comes to hearing the tiger. Cheng Fang appeared in the late Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, although it is the gold of the troubled times, the prosperity of antiques, but the beginning of the country, with the influx of a large number of foreign collectors and explorers, it has also caused a chaotic golden age of antiques, Cheng Fang appeared in the year, even the top experts can not identify, in the eyes of the people, are also as genuine, many of them are abroad, so far treasured in the major museums.

And Zhu Fang is much more recent, but also in the early days of reform and opening up, it is a hundred wastes to be revived, the era of mixed fish and dragons, with the boom of antiques, the market from time to time to emerge a batch of new high-level official kiln porcelain, all varieties have, although there are also people for the sudden emergence of so many high-grade porcelain, quite skeptical, helpless to identify, and then in a certain occasion, only to find a flaw, so as to uncover the tip of the iceberg, the influence of this batch of porcelain is still today, especially the blue and white of the three dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, pastel, etc., It has become a hard-hit area.

How could Tian Lao suddenly bring it up? Could it be that little bowl just now? Xu Shaodong and Kong Si naturally thought of the cowpea red bowl.

However, Wu Chen knew that Lu Dao was not like that, in that era, it was put there, let you imitate it, Zhu Fang, what it did was nothing more than a feature, how could it be possible to modify the molding time?

For a while, everyone in the hall was thinking about their hearts, and no one spoke.

Liu Lao even kept a straight face, knocked on the table of the Eight Immortals with his fingers, and made a slight "tuk" sound. After thinking for a while, he seemed to have made up his mind, smiled slightly, raised his head, and asked Wu Chen some basic questions, mainly about his previous experience, and whether he had a teacher, etc., which made Wu Chen a little baffled, but he still answered honestly.

After waiting for the most reluctant, Liu Lao suddenly changed his mouth and asked, would you like to recognize a master?

These words were a bit abrupt, Wu Chen was unprepared in his heart, he was stunned for a while, and he didn't understand why he suddenly changed from Cheng imitation to Zhu imitation to accepting apprentices. This rhythm is a bit out of touch, but he didn't expect it in his heart, but he didn't expect that he hadn't opened his mouth yet, and this Liu Lao asked first.

He had never been a hypocrisy, so he nodded.

Xu Shaodong and Kong Si are not fools, Liu Lao asked this, naturally he didn't want to introduce others to Wu Chen, it seems that he deliberately wanted to accept this piece of wood. Especially Xu Shaodong, seeing that this matter could be done, cheered loudly, and people who didn't know the way thought that he had something to do.

Some things come naturally, just such a layer of paper, since they are pierced, they become their own people.

Tian Lao stood up and said hello to Liu Lao with a smile, and even Tie Lao came out quietly, and his daily serious face was also rarely full of smiles, and he congratulated Liu Lao with both hands.

Liu Lao Ha smiled, pointed at Tie Zhongtang, and said to Wu Chen, this is the son of his comrade-in-arms, who has been following him all these years, and he is all his own family, and they will be closer to each other in the future.

Isn't it just to take in an apprentice? Why is it more enthusiastic than recruiting a son-in-law?

When Wu Chen saw this situation, he faintly felt that this master was not so simple, but he didn't have time to think about it for a while. For this old brother who can make Kong Si deflated, he still has a feeling of being uplifted, so he hurriedly went up to hold his hand and made love.

This time, he deliberately paid attention, and sure enough, he saw that the iron boss's hands were full of calluses, and he didn't know whether Lu Dao was holding a gun all the year round, or even having an iron sand palm.
