After communicating with Zheng Shusen and Tan Moxuan, Li Yi directly found Wang Haoqing. Of course, it's hard to say that the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info let him directly introduce some customers to support, but it is no problem to borrow two people to guide it.

After all this, Li Yi rushed to Jinling with Tan Moxuan.

In the history of Chinese art, there are two very influential painting schools in the Jinling area, one is called the Jinling School and the other is called the New Jinling School.

The Jinling School of Painting was founded in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, headed by Gong Xian, and seven other people, including Fan Qi and Gao Cen, and called the "Eight Families of Jinling", which was famous for a while.

The new Jinling School is even more amazing, led by Fu Baoshi, Qian Songzhe, Ya Ming, Song Wenzhi and other older generation of artists co-founded in the 60s of the last century, is still a very important force in the Chinese painting circle, Li Yi in Tong Ruibao training on the focus on learning the representative of the information.

Shi Chongxuan is a representative of the young and middle-aged painters of the New Jinling School.

This solo exhibition is very large-scale and of high standard. The venue of the exhibition was rented an exhibition hall of the Jinling Art Museum, and not only the main figures of the New Jinling School were present, but also important figures from the New Beijing-Tianjin School, the New Shanghai Ink School, and the New Zhejiang School. It can be seen that the new Jinling School is preparing to support Shi Chongxuan this time.

Li Yi arrived in Jinling a day in advance, and as soon as he arrived at the hotel, he first contacted several young painters who had been invited to participate in the exhibition and participated in the competition that day, and Zhang Xiaofan, who would soon hold his first solo exhibition in Lin Gui, and Ma Weizhong, who accompanied him on a trip to Chang'an last time, were among them.

"I feel like I'm in the wrong place, I don't know anyone on this list except for a few of you!"

Li Yi took the brochure printed with the guest list and read it for a long time, and was embarrassed to find that his interpersonal relationship in this area was too thin, except for the few in front of him, no one else on the list knew anyone!

"What does it matter if you don't know? You just need to make your two masters famous, and some people want to know you! But I'm different, grandma doesn't love my uncle and doesn't love it, I want to invite a few more heavyweight guests to run into walls everywhere to hold an art exhibition, alas, this person is really angry compared to people! ”

Seeing Li Yi say that his interpersonal relationship was thin, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't help but roll his eyes, revealing an infatuated man and a woman.

"Haha, Lao Shi is 35 years old, that is, he has lived well in the past two years, and his average life expectancy is long, so he barely ranks among the young painters, otherwise he would have been classified as middle-aged and elderly. But what about you? You're only twenty-seven, and you're the age of a flower, and when you reach our age, you'll definitely be even better than him......"

Ma Weizhong patted Zhang Xiaofan's shoulder vigorously, this guy is a man from all over the world, and he has a good relationship with Shi Chongxuan and Zhang Xiaofan, so he has no scruples about speaking.

"By the way, Li Yi, when are you going back to Yanjing? If you're not in a hurry, do me a favor. ”

As soon as he finished talking to Zhang Xiaofan, Ma Weizhong found Li Yi.

"No problem, Brother Ma, your business is my business, not to mention that you have to stay here for two days, even if you leave after participating in the exhibition tomorrow, you have to stay for you, right?"

"I'm poor, aren't you? Okay, just say this to you, I'm going to make you wait two more days! ”

Ma Weizhong pointed at Li Yi and said with a smile. Liu Keyi, who had not spoken beside him, also smiled,

"Xiao Li, you are fooled, you can't be polite to anyone you are polite to Lao Ma, what this guy is best at is to fight snakes with sticks. Hey, did you know that this guy has a painting made with his face? If you think about it, the face can be used for painting, how thick should it be? ”

"Huh? Is there anything else going on? Come and hear it! ”

"Lao Liu, you are enough, besides, be careful that I expose your shortcomings!"

"Quickly reveal, quickly reveal, it is best to hold Lao Liu's handle, last time, I asked him to ask for a painting and didn't give it, just because I didn't hold him."

The room became lively all of a sudden, and several people said one sentence to me, and they didn't disperse until dinner time.

Ma Weizhong naturally walked with Li Yi,

"I have a New Year's friend here, a while ago, I bought a work of Gong Xian at an auction in the United States, but once it was seen by a friend of the New Jinling School, not a fake! No, knowing that I came to participate in the art exhibition, I asked him to help him find the seniors in the Jinling School to take a look, I think it is more reliable to find you......"

"Gong Xian's work, the price is not low, right?"

"Isn't it? Including commissions, $4.86 million! Why don't you talk about it......"

Li Yi nodded, the price of Gong Xian's works has risen very much in recent years, but there are not a few pieces that can be sold for 30 million soft sister coins, and a work bought back with such a large amount of money is said to be a fake, which is indeed depressing enough.

"Let's go, I'll invite you to dinner first, let's go over after eating, and we'll finish reading it early."

Ma Weizhong put his arm around Li Yi's shoulders and led him into an alley.

"If you want to eat the most authentic, you still have to rely on the alley, although those big restaurants are delicious, but they have been more or less improved, and they are no longer the original......

"No, I don't want to eat the original, I'm going to eat the delicious!"

Li Yi struggled for a while, but he didn't break Ma Weizhong, but was still dragged by him into a restaurant at the end of the alley.

"A plate of spiced beans, a plate of hot dried silk, Jinling salted duck, squirrel osmanthus fish...... For the staple food, you should have a drawer of soup dumplings and a drawer of small siu mai...... Another pot of Yuhua tea, a jar of daughter red, 30 years! ”

Contrary to Li Yi's expectations, although this restaurant is in the alley, it looks very small, but when I really came in, I found that the area was really not small, and the cleaning was quite clean, which was a bit of a private restaurant.

"Don't underestimate this restaurant, it's not cheap to eat here, if the four of us don't drink, it will take more than 800 to eat, if you drink, hehe......"

After Ma Weizhong finished ordering, he casually handed the menu to Li Yi, and Li Yi saw the price of the wine he just ordered at a glance, 3888! It's really not cheap.

"The wines in this house are all home-brewed, the most authentic kind, you will know when you drink it later."

A few people chatted while waiting for the food to be served, and after a while, the tea came first.

"Huh?"

Ma Weizhong was about to pick up the teapot and pour tea, Li Yi stretched out his hand to stop it, and picked up the teapot himself.

This is a blue and white boy cow teapot, about 12 centimeters high, about six centimeters in diameter, the body of the pot is painted with a boy cow picture, the blue and white hair color is gorgeous, but the glaze luster is slightly dull.

"What's wrong? Something wrong with this teapot? ”

Seeing that Li Yi put the teapot back after reading it, Ma Weizhong asked curiously, while Tan Moxuan picked up the teapot, looked at it carefully for a while, and said in a low voice of surprise:

"This is a piece of Hailao porcelain?"

Li Yi nodded, this is indeed a piece of Hailao porcelain, but because it is produced by a private kiln, and the age is only in the Daoguang period, the value is not very high.

But no matter how low the value is, it's also an antique, and I don't know where I got it, so it's interesting enough to use it as an ordinary teapot.

"Hailao porcelain? Is that the kind of porcelain that was fished up from a shipwreck on the bottom of the sea? So it's an old thing? ”

As soon as Ma Weizhong heard that it was Hailao porcelain, he immediately became interested, he glanced left and right, moved his position, blocked the teapot, and then asked in a low voice:

"How much is it worth?"

Li Yi stretched out a finger. The daily porcelain in the Daoguang period itself is not very expensive, and the folk kiln is even cheaper, and the sea porcelain is not as precious as the normal ancient porcelain because of the erosion and destruction of the seawater, so this one is only about 10,000 yuan at most.

"Only 10,000?"

Obviously, Ma Weizhong was also a little disappointed, but he quickly became excited again. You can pick up the leaks in a meal, not to mention the big leaks, this matter itself is a very worthy adventure, how can it be easily let go because of its low value?

"Take it?"

He glanced at Li Yi and made a lip gesture. Seeing his sneaky appearance, Li Yi couldn't help but smile and shook his head,

"I don't want it, besides, it's your treat today, even if you want to, it's you first."

"Haha, then you're welcome!"

Ma Weizhong rolled up his sleeves, carefully picked up the teapot, and poured a cup by himself.

"Taste, taste the difference between the tea brewed in these teapots from hundreds of years ago!"

Unexpectedly, Li Yi and Tan Moxuan shook their heads at the same time, this thing has been at the bottom of the sea for at least 200 years, even if it is carefully cleaned, those unclean things can't be washed off, not to mention, this family doesn't know that this is Hailao porcelain, how can it be carefully cleaned?

Ma Weizhong looked at the movements of Li Yi and the others, and also put down the teacup with a smile, indeed, it takes a little courage to make tea with hundreds of years of antiques, if you want to drink it.

Soon, a small plate of dishes was served, and the daughter red worth 3,888 yuan was also sent to the table, which was also a rather exquisite blue and white porcelain jar, but it was a modern new porcelain.

Li Yi tasted every dish, then took a sip of wine, his eyes lit up, and he drained the wine in the cup in one sip, then glanced at Ma Weizhong, who was a little restless, shook his head, and said:

"Well, this dish does taste good, and the wine tastes better, how did you find here?"

"That's what the old man told me about it when I asked me to help find someone to look at the painting...... Hey, you say, if I say I want this teapot later, will they be suspicious? It would be nice if it was a wine jar, and when the wine is not finished, just pick it up and leave......"

Ma Weizhong really didn't want to be greedy for the cheapness of 10,000 yuan, but the more he thought about it, the more interesting it became, so he didn't bother to eat at all.

Seeing him like this, Li Yi and Tan Moxuan glanced at each other, shrugged their shoulders, and began to eat in unison. (To be continued.) )
