The cabinet is a very ordinary cabinet, more than half a meter high, divided into two compartments, the upper layer is placed about a dozen scrolls, and the lower one, there is only one brocade box. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Glancing at Wang Haoqing and seeing him signaling to do it himself, Li Yi stabilized his breathing and took the brocade box out first.

The brocade box was very exquisite, although it looked like something from some ages, Li Yi was in no mood to study it, because the previous few things had already whetted his appetite.

Gently breaking the copper buckle, he opened the brocade box, and immediately saw a white dragon button seal.

This square seal is white and dense throughout, warm and smooth, without a trace of flaws. The image of the dragon carved on it is vivid and lifelike, whether it is from the material, or from the carving, or from the volume of jade, it is definitely a rare treasure.

Gently flipped the seal, Li Yi recognized the four seals with cinnabar red at a glance, this was actually the jade seal of the "Xintian Master" recorded in the "Seal of the Emperor and Empress of the Qing Dynasty" and "Qianlong Baoxu"!

"Xintian Master" is a name taken by Emperor Qianlong, taking its meaning of "those who follow the heavens prosper, and those who go against the heavens die".

Qianlong made countless seals in his life, and even Li Yi had a side hidden in his hands. It's just that most of those seals have no special significance, they are basically the playthings of Qianlong Ye on a whim, and like this style of Jiaolong button white jade jade seal, there are nearly ten squares that have appeared in the auction market in recent years!

However, this side is different, it is really different.

According to records, this square seal was made in the 51st year of Qianlong, and it was not long after Qianlong pacified the Junggar and Hui rebellions, and it was a precious souvenir used by Qianlong to commemorate his great martial arts, and this square seal was also the largest of all Qianlong white jade seals!

Li Yi remembered that among the Qianlong white jade seals auctioned in the early years, the most expensive should be the "Qianlong Imperial Pen" jade seal with a similar style to this one, and its price exceeded 100 million soft sister coins. But that square seal, whether it is in terms of volume, jade quality, or the meaning of the jade seal, is far inferior to this side!

Another priceless treasure!

Shaking his head and exhaling a breath of turbidity, Li Yi put away the jade seal, and then carefully carried the dozen scrolls to the sofa, how many surprises could these bring him?

It seemed that he had heard his heart, or perhaps because he was so lucky, that as soon as the first scroll was opened, it startled him.

This is the true work of Tang Yin and Tang Bohu, a generation of geniuses in the Ming Dynasty!

This is a handscroll on ink and landscape ink and color on paper about 30 centimeters wide and 125 centimeters long, called "Pine Cliff Farewell Map", which is said to be the highest level of Tang Bohu's hand-me-down works found so far.

Li Yi has seen the information of this painting, and he remembers that this painting was made by Tang Yin for Fang Liangyong, a famous minister of the Ming Dynasty, and that the two cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty, Li Dongyang and Yang Yiqing, also inscribed the introduction and inscription of this painting respectively.

The inheritance of this painting is very clear, after the death of the Ming Dynasty, it was included in the Qing court, and it was also included in the large-scale bibliographic document "Shiqu Baoji" compiled by the court during the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods.

Then, when Cixi was in power, this painting was given to Sun Yuwen, the minister of military aircraft in the late Qing Dynasty, along with Qian Xuan's "Floating Jade Mountain Residence", and later, it fell into the hands of Song Ziwen, a giant of the Republic of China.

But if there were only these, Li Yi would only be slightly surprised at most, and would not be as surprised as he is now.

And the reason why he was so surprised as he is now is mainly because he remembers very well that this painting once appeared at an auction in 13 years, when it was auctioned at a sky-high price of more than 70 million, creating an auction record for Tang Yin's works!

However, just now Wang Haoqing also told him that these things are his grandfather's collection!

"This, too, is your grandfather's collection?"

"That's right, everything here was left behind by my grandfather."

"Your Grandpa's ......"

Li Yi rubbed his forehead vigorously, but now it was a little unclear. Because according to records, after this painting was in the hands of Song Ziwen, there was no transaction record, and in the auction in 13 years, it was the descendants of the Song family who provided the lots, but now the authentic work is here......

Could it be that the painting at auction is actually an imitation? Or is this a selfie ploy you guys play yourself?

"This painting has always been here?"

"Of course, the things my grandfather left behind have always been in this room."

"Well, I think there should be a separate inscription for this painting, isn't it?"

"In!"

Wang Haoqing looked down twice, and picked out one of the scrolls on the coffee table,

"This should be it."

Li Yi nodded, opened the scroll and glanced at it, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, your sister, more than 70 million! More than 70 million actually bought only one fake, and it was at such a formal auction, which ...... Where does this Nima make people reasonable?

With a secret sigh, he set the two scrolls aside, and then opened another one casually.

This is a "Wisteria Picture", which is the work of Wu Changshuo, a famous artist of the Shanghai School in the late Qing Dynasty, although it is also precious, but compared with the "Pine Cliff Farewell Map" just now, it is not a little worse, so Li Yi just took a rough look at it a few times, and then put it away.

The third scroll is still Wu Changshuo's work, and the quality seems to be slightly inferior to the "Wisteria Picture" just now, Li Yi naturally has no interest, and only casually glances at it before putting it away.

When the fourth painting opened, Li Yi raised his eyebrows, and he was a little interested, because this was a work by Fu Baoshi.

Li Yi didn't pay much attention to Fu Baoshi before, but since he saw that small note from Liu Lao, he became interested in Fu Baoshi, so he also worked hard to study his information for a while.

It's just that because he has never had the opportunity to see Fu Baoshi's true works, he has never been too sure that Fu Baoshi is the generation of Ding Yi who succeeded Wu Changshuo.

This painting is a "Pipa Xing" created by Fu Baoshi, the protagonist of the picture is a lady holding a pipa, because it is based on the Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing", so the lady has a plump face, quite the charm of Tang Dynasty figure painting.

Fu Baoshi is good at landscapes and figures, and his characters are mostly ancient ladies and scholars, so Li Yi didn't look at it for a while, and confirmed that this should be a genuine painting.

After studying it carefully for a while, he shook his head and frowned.

Previously, he speculated that Fu Baoshi might be the generation of Ding Yi who succeeded Wu Changshuo, so he inferred that the "Pine and Cypress Eagle" he bought was probably Fu Baoshi's handwriting. However, after looking at this painting, he was a little undetermined.

Although this is a figure painting, the theme is not the same as the "Pine and Cypress Eagle", but as a painter, if he imitates someone else's painting, even if he can imitate it vividly, if he knows in advance that it is imitated by him, most of the time he can still see a clue.

However, after Li Yi compared this painting with the "Pine and Cypress Eagle" in his memory, he did not find any commonality, which couldn't help but give him a headache.

After studying it for a while, he still didn't find anything, so he had no choice but to put the painting away and reopen another scroll.

Fifth and Sixth ...... Until all 13 scrolls were finished, Li Yi did not see a single painting that could surprise him.

"That's all there is to it?"

Wang Haoqing shook his head with a smile, and opened the cabinet under the middle two bookcases......

"Whew...... Ancient porcelain, bronze, bamboo carving, ancient jade ......"

After reading them one by one, Li Yi rubbed his forehead vigorously, this baby is inevitably too much, right? Even if your grandfather used to be a high-ranking official, but ......

"These are all collected by my grandfather before liberation, and after liberation, he also donated a large number to the country, otherwise this room would not be able to fit!"

"Collected before liberation? I remember you said that your grandfather was in charge of the underground work, right? Hosting an underground job to collect so many antiques? ”

Wang Haoqing shook his head, his eyes revealing a hint of remembrance,

"My grandfather's identity at that time was a high-ranking official of the Kuomintang, but in fact he was an underground party, and his identity was not accidentally exposed until after the Pingjin Campaign, so he ......"

Li Yi nodded, understood, this was all black when he was in the Kuomintang, but after donating a large amount, there were still so many, he was really a little black at that time!

"Okay, we're done, let's go down."

Wang Haoqing glanced at the time and frowned,

"Old man, it can't be that there is something that can't come back, right? What time is it? ”

Li Yi glanced down at his watch and found that it was already more than 7 o'clock in the evening, so he couldn't help but rub his stomach, he was just looking at things just now, and he was really a little hungry at this time.

"Forget it, I'll call Uncle Liu and ask what's going on, if we can't come back, we can't wait, right?"

Wang Haoqing took out the phone and dialed a number, and after a while, he hung up the phone.

"The old man has something to do temporarily, and he doesn't know when it will be over, so he said he won't let us wait, and he will make an appointment with you next time when he is sure he has time." Let's go, let's eat by ourselves. ”

Hearing that Wang Haoqing and his father couldn't come back for a while, Li Yi couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief,

"Since the old man won't come back, then let's not make trouble for Sister Pang, just go out to eat."

"What are you going out for, I called Sister Pang at noon, and the dishes have already been prepared! Take it easy and relax, and there is nothing outsiders ......"

Wang Haoqing patted Li Yi's shoulder vigorously, took the lead and walked down the stairs, and when she arrived downstairs, she realized that Sister Pang had already received a notice that the old man could not come back for dinner today, but the room upstairs was not allowed for her to enter, so she did not notify Wang Haoqing.

"Wait for me for ten minutes, just fry two greens."

The dinner was very richly prepared, there were both chicken and fish, and it had already been stewed, so Sister Pang didn't let them wait long, and the meal was served to the table after a while.

"I'm going to participate in the Young Calligraphers Contest next, so the gold thing can only be postponed for a few more days, can you do it at any time?"

At the dinner table, Li Yi calculated the recent time, he was ready to get the gold out after the calligraphy competition, and then go to gamble on stones to make money. Then, after participating in Shi Chongxuan's art exhibition, he had to fly to France to accompany Lu Ningshuang for a period of time.

As for the plan that Zhong Haoqing asked him to ponder, although he already had a preliminary idea, no matter how he arranged it, he had to be busy with these things, so even if it was to be implemented, it would probably be after the Lunar New Year.

"Pretty much anytime, but you'd better call me ahead of time when the time comes."

"Okay, then it's decided."

The next day, Li Yi took out two bottles of old wine and invited 6 of his subordinates to eat beautifully, fulfilling his promise, and then he invited Tan Moxuan and Zheng Shusen to drink, and devoted himself to the preparation of the calligraphy competition.

In this calligraphy competition, the age limit is still 35 years old, and according to Li Yi, at least half of them have participated in the previous young painter competition.

Compared with the painter competition, the calligraphy competition system is much simpler, and the time is much more relaxed.

The competition was held in Guilin for five days, starting on the first day after the National Day holiday.

In this competition, all the contestants only need to provide three works to pass the test, but the reason why the time is so long is mainly to take into account the communication between everyone, and the competition venue is arranged in a famous scenic spot like Guilin, and the discerning person will know what is going on at a glance.

After spending the National Day in peace, on the afternoon of the 6th, Li Yi packed his bags and embarked on a flight to Guilin.

"There are only two days to go for this official competition, boy, what will you do with the rest of the time?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the hotel designated by the Guilin Calligraphy Competition, Li Yi saw Ma Weizhong, who had been waiting there for a long time.

"Aren't you still on a root-seeking trip? Why did you come here so early? ”

"Hehe, our second stop is Guilin, and, I heard that a calligraphy competition is going to be held here, and the players from those countries are also interested, Yuzo Tezuka and Bai Yunsheng and a few of them, and they have communicated with the organizing committee before, and they also want to participate."

"I'm rubbing, what's wrong? This side won't really agree, will it? ”

"How is that possible? Think about it, these guys should lose, but if they get lucky and get a place, won't our faces be swollen? But ......"

"But what?"

"However, although the organizing committee did not approve their official participation, it still gave them a chance to show, that is, these guys will compete with us, but their works will not participate in the final evaluation."

Li Yi frowned and hesitated:

"The second stop of this root-seeking trip is arranged to Guilin, I'm afraid that this is the idea that these guys fought at the beginning, right? By the way, how was the first stop, did you win or lose? ”

"Hey, don't mention it, when I mention this, I'm on fire!"

"Oh? What's wrong? (To be continued.) )
