Chapter 33: Fight the Swollen Little Devil
"There is also this piece, Master Wu has ugly year seal book vertical scroll, 140cm by 70cm, the right side of the stone drum brother three, the book is still vigorous, eighty-two Wu Changshuo, is also an absolute masterpiece."
"This is the master Gengzi year book handscroll, 230cm by 30cm, the graphite brother mailed a good paper book near Xizheng. It's a masterpiece for best friends.,Haven't you seen it? ”
Wu Tianyuan frowned, what haven't you seen before? looked at Sun Yuyao and said in a low voice, "Do you want to slap your face?" ”
Sun Yuyao was also very uncomfortable, although she knew that this was the other party's negotiation strategy, but a Japanese person used the works of Master Wu Changshuo to guide the country in person? Also asked if the Chinese have seen it?
"Fight as hard as you can! Don't give me face! ”
Wu Tianyuan smiled and said in a low voice: "You translate for me, not a word is missing!" ”
Wu Tianyuan nodded at Li Lao to show respect, then stood up, interrupted the words of the well loudly, and pointed to the first line of calligraphy and said: "The size is not small, but it is not a fine product, and the style is said to be made by Master Wu Changshuo after drinking. ”
Wu Tianyuan said as he asked Sun Yuyao to translate, and pointed to a place with his finger and said, "Especially here, the master's hands obviously trembled a few times. Although the past is covered up with a drag pen, obvious traces can be seen. After more than 30 words, it is more obvious, both the layout and the penmanship are not as good as the beginning, so it is not a boutique! ”
When Sun Yuyao finished translating everything Wu Tianyuan said, Jing Shixia looked surprised and stared at Wu Tianyuan deadly. The old man next to him was also curious, looking forward to the young man's table below.
"Speaking of this seal script, you can see by looking at the inscription that the master was eighty-two years old at that time, and the year of Jichou was 1925. I remember that in the autumn of that year, the master was hospitalized for liver disease, and his health was not very good, and this painting clearly showed that his strength was insufficient, and it was far from being compared with the master's peak. ”
"This bottom section is the old collection of Shanghai Duoyuxuan, Wu Changshuo is good at seal script, and this copy of the stone drum text is also a regular theme. Compared with the works of other periods, the level is not the highest. ”
Wu Tianyuan talked eloquently, the more he spoke, the more energetic he became, and he knew the general inside story as soon as he touched it with his hand, where there were flaws and where there were shortcomings, and it was clear to him.
"This book is a work for friends to entertain, even if you are a close friend, you can't follow the master's own creative mind! Although the paper is good, the creativity is limited, and it cannot be done at will, so it will not be hearty! ”
Wu Tianyuan finished talking about the three pieces of calligraphy in one breath, looked at the sluggish face of the well, smiled slightly, drank a sip of water, and sat down lightly.
"Good!" Li Lao stood up and couldn't help but clap his hands and praise: "Xiaoyou is really eyesighted, he has such a profound study of calligraphy and painting at a young age, and he really has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai!" ”
Wu Tianyuan hurriedly stood up and said politely: "Old Li, you are polite, I don't dare to get an axe in front of you, but a Japanese master who pointed out our country in front of him is just angry for a while!" ”
"Little friends are really temperamental! Not bad! ”
Li Lao nodded, and immediately looked at Wu Tianyuan, not only because of his high eyesight, but also because of his blood, he was not very satisfied with the well, but after all, it was not his own company, and it was inconvenient to express his opinions. Today, Wu Tianyuan made a move, and it was also very refreshing!
"Inoshita-kun, do you understand our opinion?" Sun Yuyao smiled and said deliberately: "Do you want me to repeat it again?" ”
"This?" It was easy for Inoue Shichiro to come back to his senses, he was also an expert, and he knew Wu Changshuo very well, so he naturally knew the gold content of what Wu Tianyuan said. Hurriedly bowed deeply, and said: "I'm sorry Tianyuanjun, I didn't expect you to know so much about calligraphy and painting, which really makes the well admire!" ”
Wu Tianyuan looked at it and felt more comfortable, no matter what, people's attitude of respecting the strong is very sincere, and having the ability is having the ability, which is very straightforward.
"I'm also on the matter, professionally all of you here are experts, good and bad must be clear! Don't be surprised! ”
Li Lao looked at it, smiled and said: "It's all discussed in the industry, it's better to have arguments, Jingshita-kun, my opinion is the same as Wu Tianyuan." These calligraphy of Wu Changshuo are large in size, and they are all masterpieces in his later years, which is a feature and selling point. But after all, after the master is seventy-five, his body is not as good as his prime, and his pen power has declined, which is also a fact that cannot be denied! ”
"Hey! You're right, I'll pay attention to this in the future, so please give me some advice! ”
Ininoshihiro's attitude is much more respectful now, especially to Wu Tianyuan, it is normal for Li Lao to have eyesight in his sixties, Wu Tianyuan is only in his early twenties, and now that's it, will he have it in the future?
"Three, this is a plum stone map made by Master Wu Changshuo in 1926, please appreciate it!"
This little devil is now learning to be smart, don't say it himself, let others finish talking first, and then add. Li Lao is a good friend of the boss, and a few words can affect his future, so he dare not slack off.
"Little friend, what do you think of this one?"
Li Lao put on his glasses and began to appreciate Wu Tianyuan together, and now he is completely the attitude of discussion among his peers, and he has won everyone's respect just now.
Sun Yuyao has now become a professional translator, listening to the dialogue and comments of the two, communicating with the well in Japanese, and the four of them officially began to discuss.
"I remember that this plum stone picture was recorded in the Japanese edition of Wu Changshuo Mofang, it seems to be the Siwen Pavilion of the Zhu Society?"
Jing Xia hurriedly nodded and said with a smile: "Tianyuanjun is really well-read and strong, it is really recorded by Siwen Pavilion, the forty-sixth year of Showa, that is, in 1971." ”
"Well, it seems that it has been published in the book of the great masters of modern Chinese painting, the eternal Wu Changshuo and Qi Baishi, which should be more than 60 pages? It seems to be! ”
Li Lao sighed: "Xiaoyou is really a master, yes, the 67-page bibliography is published!" I also found out after a long time of checking! ”
Wu Tianyuan looked profound, nodded, and smiled secretly in his heart: "What is the knowledge and strong memory, don't you know if you ask?" ”
"This painting is also made by the master when he was eighty-two years old, but the pen is old and spicy, both the layout and the blank space are done in one go, I personally feel that the calligraphy is much better than the one just now, the breath is steady, strong and powerful, this is the master's handwriting!"
"Yes, it's not big, but it's definitely a masterpiece. There is also the inscription of Higashi Fish Matsumaru, he is also a famous Japanese master of painting and calligraphy, handed down in an orderly manner, and the famous master handed over the collection, which is a rare thing. ”
Wu Tianyuan doesn't know what Dongyu Balls are, and he is estimated to be a celebrity, and he is estimated to be quite famous by looking at the well. This is the most collectible, the two masters sing and harmonize with each other, a painting and calligraphy has a special meaning, and the auction price is very high.
The four of them began to look at the paintings with great interest, and did not rest until noon, and continued in the afternoon. Wu Tianyuan's eyesight has completely conquered everyone, citing scriptures, and even when the book has been published, it is clear. Not to mention that the little devil was shocked, even Elder Li praised it and envied Sun Zhongzheng for having a good helper.
"Tianyuan-kun, you must appreciate your face tonight! I'm the east, invite the three of you to have a good meal, and it's also the friendship of the landlord! ”
I have been seeing more than six o'clock, everyone is satisfied, to be honest, the quality of the lots collected in this Xijing auction is very high, more complete than the domestic ones. It seems that Japan really has good things, and it is very good to preserve them with care.
"This?" Wu Tianyuan was a little hesitant.
"Go ahead! Your eyesight really earns the respect of Inoshitaro, no, it should be respected! Li Lao smiled: "It's rare that kid is generous once, let's go together!" ”
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, thank you Inoshita-kun!"
The four of them cleaned up and went to the most authentic local sushi restaurant for a good meal. Wu Tianyuan has an understanding of the Japanese character, old-fashioned, and rules. But as long as you really have the ability and people respect it, it's as simple as that!
