"This is 156 Ryoma Road?"

Wu Tianyuan found a small villa according to Niu Feng's information, with a somewhat old appearance and a small garden in front of it, which was the former residence of Tan Jing in Hong Kong of the Republic of China.

On the eve of the liberation of Shanghai in May 1949, Tan Jing came to Hong Kong with calligraphy and painting and served as a director of the Hong Kong Chinese Entrepreneurs Association. Later, because of a driving accident, he suffered a life lawsuit, so he was imprisoned. After being released on bail, he prepared to leave Macao, and in order to prepare funds, he sold part of the genuine and fine products at hand, and the proceeds were 600 taels of gold at that time.

Wu Tianyuan had inquired before he came, and the current owner here has immigrated to Canada for several years, and the house has been for sale, but the price is high and no one cares.

"Boss Wu, now many big bosses from the mainland have come to Hong Kong to invest and settle, you see that this house is large, and there are independent gardens and garages......"

The real estate agent introduced the house and took Wu Tianyuan to visit around, the first one was the study.

Wu Tianyuan touched the bookshelf and suddenly asked, "Is there a basement here?" ”

"Yes, there is a basement of more than 100 square meters, which can put sundries, which is very convenient."

The two of them came to the basement again, Wu Tianyuan turned around carefully, and directly decided to buy it.

"Boss Wu, you are so refreshing, 30 million is definitely worth the money!"

Soon after completing the formalities, this officially became Wu Tianyuan's foothold in Hong Kong, and sent away the real estate agent, he hurriedly walked to the basement, in a hidden position in the corner of the wall, pressed the mechanism, and a dark grid appeared in front of him.

"I'll just say that Tan Jing, that old fox, can you leave a hand? A clever person has more than one plan! ”

Wu Tianyuan took out the box inside with satisfaction, began to check the loot, first picked up a hand scroll, opened it and said excitedly: "It's finally all together!" The last one is Wang Jian's Qingming Riverside Map! ”

The last king of the four kings of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Jian's handscroll is in hand, officially announcing that all the authentic works of the four kings of Wu Tianyuan have been obtained! The big tyrant Liu Yiqian only has three kings, and there is still one Wang Shimin missing.

"Wang Hui's Fuchun Mountain Residence Map, Wang Yuanqi and Wang Shimin's Ten Views of West Lake, and now Wang Jian's Qingming Shanghe Picture Long Scroll, the Four Kings have come to an end!"

"What are the four kings? Our four monks are amazing! ”

"Yes, I am Shi Tao, a bitter gourd layman, who has written twelve albums of landscapes, and after the collection of the great collectors of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Shouzheng, Hu Xuefan, and Chen, I am stronger than Wang Hui."

"And me, I am a collection of calligraphy and painting albums by Zhu Qi, a native of Bada Mountain, with a total of nine pages. Back then, it was collected by Qi Baishi and was robbed by Tan Jing at a high price. ”

"Let me say! I am Hirohito's 1663 landscape album, ten open. It was painted for his friend Cheng Zhengkui, and there are very few surviving in the world. ”

"The remnants of the sea of clouds are twelve peaks, and the old man of Stony Creek treasures ......"

Wu Tianyuan excitedly studied four albums, all of which were masterpieces, representing the highest level of the four monks in the early Qing Dynasty.

At that time, the Qing court in the north regarded the "Four Kings" as orthodox, but a group of painters with rich personalities appeared in the Jiangnan area, and they were very different from the painting style of the Four Kings of the northern court who advocated imitation of the ancients. The four monks are the representatives, they are monks, and most of them have a strong national consciousness, among which Shi Tao (Zhu Ruoji) and Bada Shanren (Zhu Qi) are more descendants of the Ming clan.

"It's really lucky, not only did I collect the four kings today, but even the four monks were done at once, and the Qing Dynasty landscapes have been collected to the end!"

Tan Jing is worthy of being a big collector, with a very high taste, and the first calligraphy and painting is a handscroll, but there are too few surviving volumes. Then there are the albums, which best represent the growth of a painter. Because albums are not necessarily drawn at the same time, many of them are collected by collectors over a long period of time, sorting out similar themes or styles, and collecting them, which is particularly rare.

"This is the three bamboo drawings of Zhao Mengfu in the Yuan Dynasty?"

"And Ni Zhan's "Yushan Forest Gully Map" and Ke Jiusi's "Shangjing Palace Ci"?"

Wu Tianyuan took out three paintings that were very tightly wrapped, exchanged curiously, and scolded: "Sure enough, it's a high imitation, grandma's!" ”

Tan Jing is Tan Jing, he didn't forget to deceive people when he ran away, and he brought three masterpieces of the Yuan Dynasty, which are estimated to be kept for turning over in the end.

"There are also the seals of the famous artists of the past dynasties imitated by Hu Jing, so many?"

Wu Tianyuan took out the seal box at the bottom, and there were sixty or seventy pieces of famous seals of various materials.

At that time, the accuracy of Hu Jing's depiction of seals was not only no different from photography, but also virtual and real, and the spirit was complete. Hundreds of large and small seals have been made, up to the Song and Yuan Dynasty celebrities and the public and private seals of the past dynasties, and the calligraphy and painting seals and paper silk are more realistic.

Authenticity seal is the most important part, in order to prevent counterfeiting, the famous artist has put a lot of effort on the seal. Zhang Daqian and Qi Baishi carved their own seals in order to prevent others from copying them. Therefore, the most difficult thing about high imitation is not painting, but sealing. This is also where the printing is precious.

"Keep them all and use them in the future, especially the high imitation, deceiving the dead will not pay for their lives!"

Finally, he picked up a thick stack of rare books and said: "You don't need to say that the Shiqu treasure compiled by Qianlong is also used to make fake information!" ”

Wu Tianyuan looked at the forty-four volumes of Shiqu treasures, these must be an important basis for Tan Jing's gang to use to forge them.

"Shiqu Baoji" is a large-scale bibliographic document in the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods of the Qing Dynasty, which was first compiled in the tenth year of Qianlong, with a total of 44 volumes. It records the collection of calligraphy and painting collected by the Qing court, which is divided into nine categories: scrolls, scrolls and volumes.

"The Treasure of the Stone Canal" has gone through the first compilation, the continuation and the third edition, and the collection includes tens of thousands of pieces. Among them, the collection of calligraphy and painting collected by the Qing court is divided into nine categories: scrolls, scrolls and volumes; Each category is divided into upper and lower grades, and the true and refined ones are the superior ones, and the descriptions are detailed; Poor or problematic are second-class, and the description is very brief.

According to its collection, such as the Qianqing Palace, the Yangxin Palace, the Sanxi Hall, the Chonghua Palace, the Imperial Study, etc., each is compiled. One set is now in the Palace Museum in Beijing, and the other is now in Taipei.

"This set should be the third set of Qianlong's genuine Shiqu treasures in China, and in the future, Tianyuan will also hold a special exhibition of Shiqu Baoji's inner house secret collection."

Wu Tianyuan checked it, there was nothing else missing, and went upstairs with the box. The villa looks old on the outside, but the inside is good, and cleaning this is the residence in Hong Kong.

"It's not bad here, the price is fair, you will come often in the future, brother, and it will be convenient to have a place to live."

After Zhai Jianmin and Wang Dagang visited, the three of them went to dinner together, and tomorrow is the official opening of the antique exhibition, and many connoisseurs from foreign countries gathered together to exchange collections for three consecutive days.

"Liu Huasheng arrived at night, just when you helped me receive it, this time he came to do a tea ceremony performance on behalf of Osaka, and he is also a collector, very influential."

Wu Tianyuan has already been contacted, and when the time comes, he will go to the airport to pick up Liu Huasheng, and he hasn't seen him for more than a month, so he just has a good chat. Uncle Liu didn't come to the opening of the museum, but it was also a trial run, and his own people had a chance.

In the evening, Wu Tianyuan received Liu Huasheng, and he did not stay in the hotel directly, but came to the villa and chatted conveniently.

"This is the villa you just bought?" Liu Huasheng turned around, and the two sat down to chat.

"It turns out that so many things have happened, Liu Meizi told me a little briefly, it seems that you guys are having a wonderful life!"

After listening to Wu Tianyuan's recent experience, Liu Huasheng sighed: "Now that Zhongzheng can finally gain a foothold in the capital, the Tianyuan Museum is also in trial operation, and everything is on the right track." What's next for you? ”

"Isn't this just coming to Hong Kong to go around and meet a few big collectors of Minqiu Jingshe, which is an eye-opener."

Wu Tianyuan sighed: "Compared with my predecessors, I am still much worse, Tianmin Building is casually hundreds of blue and white heavy weapons, and there is no shortage of unique products. Yip Shing-yiu's furniture is extravagant and covers all types. Zhang Zongxian's level is higher without looking, which inspires me to continue to work hard. ”

"You're still young, and you have a chance. They all have today's achievements after decades of accumulation, so there is no need to rush. ”

Liu Huasheng said with a smile: "Now that you have a museum, the next step is to constantly improve your collection system. The number does not need to be large, but it must be representative. The same dynasty only collects the most pinnacle works, and the same person only retains the most exquisite collections. ”

Wu Tianyuan agreed, and in the future, he decided to walk on two legs, and the good ones went into the museum collection, and the general tongguò Zhongzheng auctioned. Each category is broad and profound, and it is unlikely that they will all be collected. The main targets are porcelain, calligraphy and painting, furniture, and bronze coins, which are also the most representative of the essence of Chinese culture.

"When the antique exhibition is over, I will take you to Macau, where I have friends, who are high-level leaders of the pawnbroking association, and it is also a way to pick up leaks in Taobao, which is the most suitable for you kid."
