To change or not to change, in fact, it is not difficult to choose, because even the ivory set ball is very precious, but if this painting is really Li Cheng's real work, Li Yi feels that he may be more inclined to the latter. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

As for whether the old man will agree, let's put it this way, with his level, most of them have no ability to identify that this is Li Cheng's work, and he didn't deceive and pick up this work as a big leak, he is already very worthy of him.

Also, it's just a meeting in Pingshui, and if you change someone, I'm afraid you've been thinking about some crooked ideas for a long time.

It's just, really just give up and don't pick up this leak? Li Yi felt that he was still quite a bit of a and wanted to be a. I want to set up the potential of the archway, but I really feel that I don't want to go...... Thinking about it like this, he opened the second scroll.

This is also an ancient painting on silk with color, but the size is relatively small, about 40 centimeters on the horizontal axis and only 60 centimeters on the vertical axis.

This picture is a small scene of rivers and lakes, the plum branch on the left side is oblique out of the cliff, bends downward and then turns to the right to elongate, and the horizontal oblique twists and turns are extremely varied. The mountains and rocks in the near view are dyed with thick ink axes, while the mountains and waters in the distance are dyed with light ink, which naturally opens up the perspective relationship between the distance and the distance of the space in a slightly hazy way.

On the right side of the picture, two egrets standing next to each other are depicted, although there are only a few brushstrokes, but the whole painting seems to be still and moving, adding infinite vitality.

The inscription of this painting is Ma Yuan's Maqin Mountain, and this kind of painting method of "looking at its potential from afar" to "looking at its quality" from the Northern Song Dynasty to the peak of the Northern Song Dynasty is also Ma Yuan's style. What's more, in the lower right corner of the picture, there are also three seals of "Treasure of Qianlong Imperial Collection", "Imperial Study Treasure Collection" and "Shiqu Treasure", indicating that this painting is indeed the old collection of the Qing Palace that was once included in the "Treasure of Shiqu".

He shook his head speechlessly, because no matter what Li Yi thought, he would never have thought that he would be able to see three ancient paintings of the Song Dynasty in a row today, and all of them were made by famous artists. If you add the painting of Li Tang's "Ten Thousand Pine Winds" that I got from Arnault before, it can be said that this trip to Paris is completely related to Song painting!

It's just that although Ma Yuan and Li Tang are called the four families of the Southern Song Dynasty, only in terms of this painting called "Snow Beach Twin Herons", its value is not only far from being comparable with Li Tang's "Ten Thousand Pine Winds", but even Dong Yuan's "Autumn Mountain Scene" and Li Cheng's work are more than one step better than it.

The reason for this judgment is that the size of this painting is too small, and secondly, because Ma Yuan's own achievements are slightly inferior, and it can be seen from the seal stamped by Qianlong on the picture that Li Yi is not the only one who holds this view.

"Shiqu Baoji" is a treasure book of Chinese calligraphy and painting, a total of three parts, compiled by the Qianlong order ministers, the first compilation of the book in the tenth year of Qianlong.

The calligraphy and painting works included in the "Preliminary Compilation of Shiqu Treasures" generally have "Qianlong Imperial Treasure", "Shiqu Treasure" and the palace seal, if it is identified as "superior", it will also add "Qianlong Appreciation", "Sanxitang Jingjian Seal" and "Yi Sun Zi" seals.

It can be seen that although this painting is precious, it cannot be said to be superior in "The Treasure of the Stone Canal", let alone compared with the previous iconic works.

It's just that there are only five scrolls in this small cardboard box, and when you open them casually, they are both real ancient paintings of the Song Dynasty.

However, as if deliberately trying to make a joke with him, the so-called Tang Bohu's work turned out to be a shoddy imitation of the late Qing Dynasty!

Moreover, not only this one, but also the remaining two scrolls, one signed by Zhu Qi of the Bada Shanren, and the other "Yuhang Looking at the Mountain", which is also one of the four monks in the early Qing Dynasty, Shi Tao, are actually imitations, and they are even more unbearable modern and distressed imitations!

"Uh......"

Li Yi rubbed his eyebrows vigorously, this mixture of fish and dragons made him a little unsure of what to say.

"Old man, where did you get all these collections?"

"Oh, the two paintings of Tang Bohu and Ma Yuan were both given to my friend who gave Yuan Qinghua, and the other ones, Zhu Qi's was bought in the Netherlands, Shi Tao's was bought in Germany, and the other anonymous landscape painting was exchanged for a blue and white plum vase in the Kangxi period."

Li Yi nodded, and motioned for Gu Feng to take out the ivory carving set ball and put it on the table.

"Old man, I'll exchange this set of balls for your two ancient paintings, what do you think?"

"Yo, then I've taken a big advantage, why don't you pick one of these three?"

The old man glanced at the two ancient paintings that Li Yi picked out, and it was a little strange that he chose Tang Bohu's one but chose an anonymous work, feeling a little embarrassed, because he thought that this ivory carving set of balls should be very valuable.

Li Yi shook his head with a wry smile, his eyes swept over the scrolls, and suddenly his gaze froze, and he found that the white cloth under the small cardboard box seemed to have something wrong, and it looked like an oil canvas that had been folded a few times!

"Huh? It's ......"

"Hehe, that's a foreigner's thing, I can't read any rotten things drawn, I want to throw it away, it's someone else's ...... anyway"

Liu Lao was a little embarrassed and sighed twice, Li Yi didn't care, because this is really normal, the works of some oil painting schools in the West, saying that they are art is really complimenting them, but they are all self-cherished, rare don't want it......

While thinking about it, he opened the canvas and spread it on the coffee table, but he didn't expect that what appeared in front of him was a fairly familiar picture, he was slightly stunned, and after looking at it carefully for a while, he opened the spirit card with doubts.

A cool cool air flowed by, Li Yi couldn't help but gasp lightly, how could it be this work? This level of work is actually folded like this, and it is used as the lining of a cardboard box, this, what should he say?

"Old man, this painting was also given by the friend who gave you Yuan Qinghua?"

His voice trembled slightly that was a little difficult to suppress, and he could give away such a precious painting casually, except that the person was also a guy who didn't know how to do it, and there was probably only one reason, that is, the old man's friend was a woman, and he was loved, no, it could also be raped. Feeling...... A woman who is in a daze!

"Yes, he gave me all his collection before he died, and it is precisely because of these things that I gradually fell in love with collecting, and I have spent a lot of money in the past ten years, but unfortunately I have never encountered anything particularly precious except for that chicken bowl cup......"

Liu Lao glanced at the oil painting spread out on the table, and waved his hand casually,

"If you know how to appreciate it, just take it away, it's useless to put it here for me anyway, I don't know when I'm in a bad mood and throw it to me......"

Throw it away when you're in a bad mood? Old man, do you know how many people will stand by your old man's garbage can and pick up your garbage every day?

Li Yi grunted, swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, and asked with difficulty for a while:

"Old man, do you know what kind of painting this is?"

"Nonsense, of course I know! Isn't that what Edward is called? Munch's "The Scream"? But if you look at what kind of things are painted here, such a painting is still a world-famous painting, and there are still people who imitate it! ”

"Poof!"

Li Yi listened to the old man in horror and inexplicably, and almost regarded him as a peerless master who regarded money as dung, but he didn't expect that just when he thought that the old man was so bad that he didn't even pay attention to this famous painting worth hundreds of millions of dollars, in the end, a dramatic turn came, he actually thought it was an imitation!

"Is this painting an imitation?"

Li Yi felt that his voice was a little out of tune, this thing, just look at it on the Internet!

"Hehe, when I first saw the information of this painting, I was as shocked as you, and I almost had to find the guy's descendants to return the things, but then I took a closer look, and the colors of this painting are different, and it can't be the real thing at all! Originally, that guy said that he was repenting for his grandfather and returning the things that belonged to our ancestors, how could he be so kind to send me something worth hundreds of millions of dollars? Even if it's ...... It doesn't make sense! ”

The old man seemed to suddenly realize something, and after saying half a sentence, he suddenly stopped.

"Hoo ......"

Li Yi exhaled a long breath, and now he finally figured things out, it turned out that his friend wanted to repent for his grandfather, so he gave these things to his Chinese friend. This kind of thing may sound a bit incredible, but it's not impossible, it's just that you can return the things, and what does it mean to put on this painting?

"It's a bit of a coincidence, when I first came here, we hadn't moved here yet, and that guy was a neighbor of our old house, and according to himself, these things were his grandfather's relics, and he found them one day when he was cleaning up the attic...... Anyway, he gave it all to me later. ”

Seeing Li Yihu's suspicious expression, Liu Lao waved his hand impatiently,

"Forget it, you young people love to get to the bottom of it, I'll tell you all! That old thing seemed to be a little ill-intentioned towards my daughter, and he didn't think about it, he was seventy or eighty years old, and he actually ...... After I found out about this, I paid for my daughter to buy another suite here, and then when we moved, the guy sent the things over, and I tell you, if it weren't for the sake of these things as treasures left by our ancestors, I would have dared to fall in front of him, believe it or not......"

"Uh......"

Li Yi nodded with a smile, he didn't expect there to be such a twist and turn here, but now, it really makes sense. It's just that this thing is a little difficult to do, should he tell the old man that there are actually 4 versions of this "Scream", and these 4 versions are all Edward. What about Munch's authentic handiwork? (To be continued.) )
