ps: Thank you for your great reward, please recommend the collection!

Li Yi didn't know that Zhang Daqian still had this hobby, but he admired Zhou Lao very much, and he actually guessed the correct answer just from the clues, and he, knowing the answer, couldn't help but doubt that this comparison was superior to the judgment.

"That ......"

Seeing that Li Yi was silent and didn't say anything, Zhou Lao smiled and said:

"You young people, your first reaction when you see something is whether it's worth anything or not. How much is it worthless, and how much is it worth? Haha, young man, you're asking the wrong person now, I don't know if this painting is worth anything! ”

With that, the old gentleman showed a sly smile. Seeing that Li Yi was a little embarrassed, he laughed and shook his head,

"Zhang Daqian's works range from hundreds of thousands to hundreds of millions, and I am not a professional, so of course I can't give you the answer, but ......"

This old man, obviously seeing Li Yi for the first time, seemed to be very familiar, and took out a posture of an old guy teasing the juniors, making Li Yi a little wolf.

"But there is a general rule in the calligraphy and painting trade, well-known painters are more expensive than ordinary painters, the works of the same painter, fine products are more expensive than ordinary ones, and large-scale ones are more expensive than small-scale ones, you can judge it yourself."

Li Yi scratched his head, his appreciation of calligraphy and painting didn't even enter the door, how can he judge?

Hu Lao watched his old friend tease Li Yi from the side, and kept smiling and not speaking, but then he interjected:

"As far as I know, the starting price of Daqianjushi's paintings and large-scale boutiques is around 20 million! Moreover, he imitated Shi Tao's paintings...... Tsk, there are a lot of stories here, let Zhou Lao tell you. ”

Another sultry tickle! Li Yi almost looked up to the sky and sighed, this is the disadvantage of having no knowledge!

This time, Zhou Lao didn't tease him again, and started talking directly,

"Zhang Daqian likes Shi Tao very much, as long as he hears the news of Shi Tao's authentic works, he will do everything possible to find a way to collect it. The authentic works of Shi Tao he collected, according to his own words, even reached 500 at most! ”

The story goes like this, Huang Binhong has a painting of Shi Tao, Zhang Daqian has always wanted to borrow it, but Huang Binhong has never agreed, and Zhang Daqian, who is not convinced, copied a handscroll of Shi Tao and put it in his teacher Zeng Nongfu. Once Huang Binhong went to Zeng Nong's house, saw this painting, thought it was Shi Tao's real work, couldn't put it down, and decided to buy it, Zeng Nongfu asked Huang Binhong and Zhang Daqian to talk about the price. Zhang Daqian was very proud when he saw that Huang Binhong wanted to collect his imitation of Shi Tao, but he didn't ask for money, but said to Huang Binhong, just use this painting to exchange for the Shi Tao that I borrowed from you last time, Huang Binhong immediately agreed, and in this way, Zhang Daqian exchanged his imitation Shi Tao for a real Shi Tao's work. And that's not the most amazing part, guess what? ”

Here you come again! In the end, if I knew, would I still need to listen to you? Li Yi showed a flattering smile while breaking his thoughts in his heart.

"In the end, when Huang Binhong sold Zhang Daqian's painting, the auction proceeds were far more expensive than when he bought Shi Tao's original work!"

Li Yi was stunned, the imitation was actually more expensive than the real thing, what is the reason?

"But this story is not enough to judge the value of your painting, mainly because of Shi Tao. You should know that Shi Tao became a monk after being changed at an early age, and traveled for half his life, selling paintings as a business. In other words, Shi Tao is a professional painter. ”

As a professional painter, the amount of works created is very large, Shi Tao lived in Yangzhou in his later years to sell paintings for a living, and after returning to the vulgar, he had the burden of his family, so his works in his later years were quite rich. However, most of Shi Tao's works are not high-quality works. As I just said, the works of the same painter, masterpieces and works for entertainment, have very different market prices, and works like his "Pine Shade Study Map" and "Poems, Calligraphy and Paintings" can be worth tens of millions, while ordinary works are likely to be worth only tens of millions of yuan. Such a situation is also reflected in Daqian Jushi. ”

Li Yi pondered for a long time, finally grasped the clue, and hesitated:

"What do you mean that no matter whether Zhang Daqian's painting is a masterpiece or not, it must be influenced by Shi Tao's original paintings? Because he is an imitation, so if Shi Tao's painting is good, he will imitate it well, and if Shi Tao's painting is poor, he will imitate it poorly, so even if his painting may be more expensive than the original, it does not mean that the painting must be very valuable? ”

Zhou Lao glanced at him approvingly, then pointed to the painting on the wooden case and sighed:

"In this painting, seeing the mountains are mountains, seeing the water is water, the brushwork is indulgent, dripping and happy, the rough places are thick and large, and the vertical and horizontal are unbridled like lightning and thunder; The subtleties are meticulous and rigorous, and there is no falsehood. imitates Shi Tao's style in his later years vividly! In my opinion, a large-scale masterpiece! ”

Hey, it's really tiring to deal with you! It took such a big circle to tell me that this painting is very valuable, isn't it? Okay, I know the answer, can't I afford to provoke your old man and can't hide? We're still hungry! Bye-bye inside!

Hu Lao saw that Li Yi was a little absent-minded, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Li, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Why don't you have a bite to eat here? ”

Li Yi shook his head, don't you want to be eaten by Old Man Zhou after eating with you?

"My mother has already cooked the meal, let's do it another day, I'll invite the two old men to dinner another day."

Hu Lao smiled and didn't care, and pointed to the painting on the wooden case,

"Zhou Lao means that this painting should be treated as much as possible, do you think it is better to put it here or take it back first? Why don't you run again tomorrow and come over and watch Zhou Lao frame you. ”

Li Yi thought to himself, you've always talked about this, I'll say I'm stupid to take it back? Anyway, with your old man Hu here to vouch for it, what if I stay?

"Stay here, besides, I won't come tomorrow, Zhou Lao must not like to be disturbed when he is working."

Hu Lao secretly gave Li Yi a thumbs up, although he didn't think that Li Yi would take the painting away, but what if? That's 20 million after all! So he still deliberately reminded it.

Back at home, Li's mother had already prepared a sumptuous dinner to celebrate, and when asked about the situation at the dinner table, Li's father honestly flipped through it, and before he finished speaking, Li's mother's index finger had a close contact with Li Yi's forehead.

"You, you, how can I say hello! You trust that old man Hu so much? Two twenty or thirty million things are just put in the hands of others, and there is not even a single note, in case people have a black heart, I see what you will do! ”

Li Yi scratched his head, yes, why did you forget to ask for a note? Then he figured out the root cause of his mentality, which seemed to be his trust in Hu Lao, but from the root it was because he had a faint unconsciousness of not caring. With the big killer of the spirit card in hand, as long as he is given time, what treasure do you want or not?

"These things, he loves black or not, I have my own way to clean him up if it's black, and if it's not black, I'll make him a friend!"

How domineering and majestic this is! Hey, we're so headstrong!

"You kid, people are thicker than your waist when you pluck a hair, and you dare to say that there is a way to clean up people? Do you dare to say that you have to be tested to recognize this friend? I really don't know that the sky is high and the earth is high, and the prince has three eyes! If my mother doesn't clean up your meal today, I won't be able to eat! ”

Li's mother trembled angrily, picked up the broom in the corner of the wall and rushed at Li Yi, Li Yi shouted while hiding,

"Mom, Mom, you're using the wrong idiom! Lord Ma has three eyes that are not connected to the back of the sky and the earth! ”

Dad Li sat firmly at the dinner table, took a sip of wine, ate a sip of lo-mei, and smiled and admired the two mothers and sons playing, look, this is the standard harmonious society!

Under the dinner table, I don't know when the chick that ran out of the cardboard box chirped a few times, and suddenly the little head looked around sneakily, and with a cock of buttocks, he pulled a big bubble of chicken shit on Daddy Li's slippers......
