Lu Sanye was very satisfied with the performance of the surrounding audience, and seeing that everyone was noisy again, he stretched out his hand to let everyone quiet down again, and then said: "As we all know, a young collector has risen in the Jinling ancient book world, and he has a batch of books in his hand, and the old man is very envious, and he once very earnestly hopes that the other party can transfer it and let the old man collect it; It's a pity that these little friends are very stubborn, maybe they think that the old man doesn't have that qualification, so they even resigned. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info book lovers, understandable, but what I want to say is, now, we might as well take a gamble---"

When Lu Sanye said this, he paused, and then pointed to the treasure in the box and said: "I will take this as a bet, if Xiaoyou wins, this hand-copied Heart Sutra will belong to you; If I win, how about I hope to be able to buy your collection at the right price--- Lu Sanye looked at Lin Yi with a squint, it was obvious that he was declaring war!

No one expected that Lu Sanye would take the initiative to declare war on a collector's junior on such an occasion, regardless of his identity, and they were all full of curiosity, their eyes widened, watching the development of the situation.

What does Lin Yi do?

Should we fight or retreat?

Huang Rong approached him and pulled his shirt with concern, Lin Yi glanced at her, smiled, and then turned around and said loudly to Lu Sanye: "Third Master, you have worked hard, I didn't expect that after so long, you still remember those books---"

"Hahaha, a book collector, there is not much room in his heart, and there are only books!" Lu Sanye ignored the sarcasm, and the momentum was magnificent.

"Then you can say, what kind of gambling method?" Lin Yi didn't beat around the bush and faced the battle directly.

Lu Sanye smiled, "It's very simple, since we are all collectors in the ancient book world, then take calligraphy and painting to gamble--- as we all know, as a collector, you must have three elements, financial resources, eyesight, and qualifications." In terms of financial resources, it is inevitable that some people will say that I bully the small with the big and talk about seniority, and I am afraid that people will say that I rely on the old and sell the old, so let's compare our eyesight. ”

"Very good, what's the comparison?" Lin Yi asked with a smile. In fact, the reason why Lin Yi agreed to face the battle was not only because he wanted to cut through the mess quickly and end this matter, but also because he wanted to win the hand-copied Heart Sutra, because only he knew how important that Heart Sutra was to improve his aura.

Lu Sanye smiled, and the people around him only felt that his old man's smile had great momentum, and they had a feeling of looking up.

Lin Yi stood still and looked at him quietly.

Lu Sanye opened his mouth and said: "I was surprised to see that you were so talented just now that you were able to splash ink and draw well. Since this is your forte, let's identify calligraphy and painting. I have three calligraphy and paintings here, I hope you can pick the most valuable one, and if you choose, you win, how? ”

Dizzy, everybody's dizzy.

How can it be so simple?

It turned out to be the value of calligraphy and painting.

This is too easy, you must know that for 5,000 years, there are only a few famous painters, as long as they are ranked according to their fame, they can determine the value.

In addition, some people even think that Lu Sanye is a little too kind, isn't the young man surnamed Lin a first-class painter, and even asked him to identify this, which is a bit of a good thing.

Thinking about it again, it is estimated that the third master is also showing his generosity by doing this, and the elders take care of the younger generations.

Invisibly, everyone added a lot of points to Lu Sanye's image, and felt that although this old man was a little extreme--- he didn't care about anything for the sake of collecting books, he was also kind.

Lin Yi didn't think so, first of all, he had contact with Lu Sanye, this old man was a cunning tiger, he would never let go of the water so easily and let himself take advantage, but he was afraid that there was some ingenuity in this.

Lin Yi was still thinking about it, and Lao Cao next to him touched his arm and said: "Brother, this is your forte, get him and win back that hand-copied Heart Sutra, so that my old Cao can open his eyes in the future and get more Buddha energy." ”

Now that you have accepted the offer, there is no reason to retreat, so let's start.

Lin Yi nodded at the third master of the landing.

Lu Sanye smiled domineeringly, then clapped his hands, and suddenly, someone brought up three calligraphy and paintings, these three calligraphy and paintings are all placed in different painting boxes, and the three painting boxes are also finely carved, one red, one black and one yellow, from a distance, they are made of mahogany, ebony, and huanghuali carving, which is particularly eye-catching.

"Come on, take out the three calligraphy and paintings---" Lu Sanye commanded.

Immediately, someone stepped forward, opened the picture box, and took out the calligraphy and paintings.

At this time, Lu Sanye said: "These three calligraphy and paintings are integrated with this painting box, which is extremely rare, and the big guys can also look at it together." ”

That means that everyone should bear witness so that no one will be able to pay their debts when the time comes. From this point of view, Old Man Lu also has a childish side.

Everyone gathered around, and Lin Yi also approached, wanting to take a closer look at the three calligraphy and paintings, see which famous artists' works they were, and then screen out the one with the greatest market value.

Lao Cao and Huang Rong also followed Lin Yi's side, cheering him on, in Lao Cao's opinion, this time Lin Yi won the game, you must know that Lin Yi's skills in calligraphy and painting are unfathomable--- this may only be known to him, so he believes that this kind of identification is definitely pediatric for Xiao Linzi.

Others also had this idea, including Ding Qiye, Nalan Zhu, Zhu Zijun, and the highly respected Dean Zhan. Especially Dean Zhan, although he has only only known Lin Yi, he has already seen his otherworldly painting skills, so he believes that Lin Yi's depth of understanding of painting can definitely identify the advantages and disadvantages at a glance.

But---

They were all wrong!

I thought that the three paintings collected by Lu Sanye should be some kind of master works, but when everyone took a look, they were shocked to find that this painting ...... It's too inferior!

That's right, the three paintings in front of me are as ordinary as children's graffiti, one depicts a few beautiful plum blossoms in the snow, the other depicts a few green bamboos shrouded in the cold, and the other is a pine tree standing proudly in the wind...... Probably because of the lack of painting skills, these three paintings are very immature, and they are deficient in terms of fine brushwork, blank space, splashed ink, etc., making the whole painting look awkward, but full of childlike fun.

Just when someone opened his mouth to ridicule the three paintings for being too ugly, Lin Yi's eyes became solemn, and at the same time, the dean Zhan of the Jinling Painting Academy also looked at the three calligraphy and paintings with solemn eyes, and couldn't help but say: "How can this be?" ”

As a junior, Zhu Zijun also has a certain level in the identification of calligraphy and painting, at first he didn't think so, thinking that it was just a child's handy graffiti when learning to paint, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that it was wrong, and then he heard Dean Zhan's surprised voice, his curiosity was even greater, and he couldn't help but ask: "Whose works are these three paintings, why are they so weird?" ”

Dean Zhan didn't want to reveal too much, after all, this was a competition between Lin Yi and Lu Sanye, and it was better for him to stay out of the body, but he couldn't bear Zhu Zijun's advice, so he said softly: "These three paintings are not simple, they are the "Three Friends of the Cold" by Zhang Yangong, a generation of strange masters in Yangzhou's painting circle!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Zijun immediately let out an "ah", and was inexplicably surprised.

It's really because of this Zhang Yangong, it's too good!

When it comes to Zhang Yangong, Yangzhou people above the sixtieth birthday may have an impression, after all, his paintings and the words of Mr. Sun Longfu and the seal of Mr. Cai Juchuan were known as the "Three Uniques of Yangzhou", which can also be said to be the cultural business card of Yangzhou back then.

Mr. Zhang is young and studious, especially fond of painting, and when he is young, he is obsessed with copying "Mustard Seed Garden Painting", self-taught, and famous; After being admitted to the Fifth Provincial Normal School at the age of 19, he was cared for by Mr. Lu Fengzi, a famous teacher in the painting world, and benefited a lot from it, and his painting art was improved; At the age of 25, he was admitted to Shanghai University of the Arts for further study, laying a solid foundation for his lifelong painting art. As early as 1954, Mr. Zhang's "Colorful Phoenix", "Yellow Flower Purple Bean", "Rooster, Bamboo and Stone" and other masterpieces have been selected to be exhibited in Eastern European countries, and the following year his "Dragonfly Flying on the Jade Scratching Head" and other five masterpieces were selected by the Provincial Bureau of Culture to be sent to the five provinces of East China for a round exhibition, famous for a while. He not only has a rich painting practice, but also has a far-reaching influence on his works, and what is even more commendable is that his painting theory has had a profound influence on later generations, especially his "On Yangzhou School of Painting" and "On Painting", which reflect Mr. Zhang's extraordinary skills and keen observation. It was praised by the people of the time as another strange masterpiece in Yangzhou painting after the Eight Monsters of Yangzhou.

So what's Mr. Zhang's fault?

The first blame is that he holds a golden rice bowl in his hand, but he often asks for food. Although Mr. Zhang's painting skills are extraordinary, although Mr. Zhang's fame is Jianghuai, and despite Mr. Zhang's diligence, Mr. Zhang's life seems to be always shy. Bai Juyi said it well: "Since ancient times, there has been no choice, and fate is succumbed to time." It is like a plant and a tree, the sky is one and the other, the lychee is not a famous flower, and the peony is not sweet. "Human talent is often not proportional to property. God blessed Mr. Zhang with extraordinary artistic talent, but he endowed Mr. Zhang with a smooth and fickle person, so although Mr. Zhang has a wonderful pen, but there is no way to make money. In addition, he has been upright and admits death all his life, and he does not look back when he hits the south wall. That's why in 1957 he was wrongfully branded as a "rightist." In fact, Mr. Zhang's teaching whip was all over the world, and many of his students served as senior provincial and municipal cadres at that time, as long as Mr. Zhang truthfully reported the situation to them, he would not suffer so many crimes later. Later, when his students learned of the situation, they screened and took off their hats in 1962.

The second blame is that he is too serious about doing things, and his persistence is almost pedantic. Mr. Zhang is serious about art to the point of being strict, and he will never go out if he is not satisfied with his works. A friend once asked for a painting for someone else, and Mr. Zhang promised to give it another day. A friend found an old painting of Mr. Zhang's "Peony Picture" in the painting case, and said to Mr. Zhang, "This is it." Mr. Zhang shook his head and said: "This "Peony Picture", at first glance, the picture is thick and colorful, the peony is bright, the green leaves are transparent, and the composition and color are not bad. However, at that time, I felt that there was space in the upper right corner, so I made up for it with willow thread. After making up for it, I think it's wrong, the peony is the thing of late spring, the willow line is the thing of early spring, the peony and the willow line with the picture, it is tantamount to the plum blossom and the lotus with the picture, the so-called wind horse cow, not related. Friend: "Actually, my friend who wants to paint doesn't know anything about painting, so it's so-so, forget it." Mr. Zhang said seriously: "He doesn't know how to paint, and people who read paintings don't know how to paint?" Don't be bullied! His friends couldn't resist him, and he felt that it was too bad for his friends to lose face, so he simply painted for him immediately. Therefore, the works of Mr. Zhang that can be seen now are all high-quality works.

The third blame is that they don't pay "adults" and "villains". With Mr. Zhang's talent and fame, many high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen have come to ask for paintings, and there is no ambiguity about how much money should be charged. Because of this, he offended many people, but even so, he was still proud and never bowed his head. On the contrary, he made friends with many teenage "villains". As long as he sees it, no matter what you do, he can talk and laugh with you and call you brothers.

Generally speaking, this master of the painting world is a freak, and because he learned to paint without a teacher, he really didn't dare to compliment the paintings when he was young, and the survival was very rare, I didn't expect Lu Sanye to treasure three here, or make up a pair of "Three Friends of the Cold Year", what is even more deplorable is that he actually asked Lin Yi to choose the most valuable one from these three--- the same author, the work of the same period, how do you let him choose? !
