Chapter Ninety-Eight: Two Famous Paintings

In order to determine the authenticity of the items in the wooden barrel that he had snatched from the tomb robber, Fang Mutian did not delay on the road and quickly returned home on his bicycle.

Seeing Fang Mutian coming back, Fang's father and mother, who were watching TV in the living room, asked, "Mutian, did you have dinner?" ”

Fang Mutian said with a smile: "I've eaten at school, Mom and Dad, it's so late, why haven't you slept yet?" ”

"Eaten? Then come here, your dad and I have something to tell you. Fang's mother said to Fang Mutian.

Fang Mutian nodded, put down his schoolbag, walked over and sat down and said, "Mom, what do you say?" ”

Fang's mother said: "We discussed it with your second uncle and them today, and we plan to invite those friends of yours to have a meal, so that you can talk to them." ”

"My friend?" Fang Mutian was stunned for a moment and said, "Mom, are you talking about Xu Jie?" ”

Father Fang nodded and said, "Yes, that's them, didn't you ask those three girls to take some promotional photos of the costumes in our clothing store last time?" As a result, the effect of hanging on the online store is very good, and the income on the online store is even better than that in the store these days. They were your friends, and they helped us and didn't ask for any money, so we discussed it and planned to treat them to a meal as a token of gratitude. ”

"Dad, no, they're my friends, they won't care, there's no need to be so troublesome, find a time, I'll just invite them once." Fang Mutian shook his head and said.

"You invite them?" Father Fang frowned and said.

Fang Mutian nodded and said, "Well, I told them last time that in order to thank them for their help, I will invite them to dinner." ”

"In that case, so be it." Father Fang nodded, then looked at Fang Mutian again and said, "By the way, your uncle came to the store to find us again today, or for the last time he came to our house, he hopes you can help him with this." ”

Fang Mutian was stunned for a moment, and refused without hesitation: "Impossible, this matter is not discussed, I will not help him, if he helped our family last time Dad was sick, I would not care about the previous things, and I might agree to help him, but what he did last time was too bad, he did that, how can I help him?" ”

"Mu Tian, he" Father Fang said with a frown.

Fang Mutian interrupted Fang's father's words, and said without any room for negotiation: "Dad, you don't need to say it, I won't agree, okay, if it's okay, I'll wash up and go to sleep." ”

Father Fang wanted to say something, but Mother Fang hurriedly pulled him, and then the other party Mu Tian said, "It's okay, go to sleep." ”

After Fang Mutian got up to leave, Father Fang turned to his mother and said, "What are you pulling me for?" What else do I have to say? ”

Fang Mu glared at him and said, "What do you say?" Can't you see it yet? Mu Tian's attitude is very resolute, no matter what you say, he will not agree. And who is to blame for this? Who made them so chilling in the first place? Now it's me, and I won't agree. ”

For everything Fang Mutian and his uncle's family did, Fang's mother was also very angry in her heart, what did her relatives do? If you are any other person, you will have an idea.

Father Fang shook his head and sighed bitterly: "Forget it, don't talk about it, let Mu Tian make his own decision on this matter, I don't bother to care." ”

"It's good that you can think like this, otherwise it will make Mu Tian embarrassed, let's go, go to bed, I have to be busy tomorrow." Fang Mu said.

Fang Mutian also heard Fang's father's and Fang's mother's conversation, although he was extremely reluctant to help his uncle, but if his father asked him to help, he would still listen to his father's words and help.

Hearing that his father was no longer involved, Fang Mutian also breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head with a sneer, and said: "This kind of selfish person still wants me to help, it's just a dream, you really think you are a character." ”

After washing, Fang Mutian returned to his room, and without saying a word, he went directly into the space of the Feitian system.

As soon as Fang Mutian entered the system space, Ling appeared beside him, and shouted with a charming smile on his face, "Master, you are here." ”

Fang Mutian nodded and said, "Let's go, Ling, let's go to the villa." ”

"Yes, master." Ling nodded with a smile and asked, "Master, do you want to see the two wooden cylinders you sent in earlier?" ”

Fang Mutian smiled: "Yes, by the way, Ling, do you say those two items are true?" ”

Ling Wan'er smiled and said, "Doesn't the master have an answer in his heart?" ”

Fang Mutian couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Although I can be roughly sure, I'm still a little unsure. ”

"Hehe, so that's the case, master, don't worry, those two paintings are genuine, not fakes or copies, they are indeed from the hands of Qiu Ying and Tang Yin in the Ming Dynasty." Ling said with a smile.

Hearing Ling's answer, Fang Mutian was really relieved in his heart, although he had a grandmaster-level ability in antique appreciation, he couldn't guarantee 100% that he could be sure of the authenticity of any antique.

"It's good if it's true, it's good if it's true." Thinking of those two paintings, Fang Mutian was quite excited.

Qiu Ying and Tang Yin, together with Shen Zhou and Wen Zhengming, are called the "Four Masters of Wumen", or the "Four Families of Ming", also known as the "Four Masters of Tianmen".

Qiu Ying, the real father, the number Shizhou, Han nationality, Taicang, Jiangsu. Painting figures, especially long ladies, not only work and color, but also good at ink and white, can use a variety of brushwork to express different objects, or round and beautiful, or strong and glamorous, occasional flowers and birds, but also bright and beautiful.

Qiu Ying's paintings are not much in circulation, and Qiu Ying's works are now passed down, most of which are models for later generations, and they are all pseudo-trusts in the market. Its collection value is very high, in the last year, Qiu Ying's work "Floating Mountains and Warm Cui", a treasure of green landscapes, circulated in an orderly manner, the description is clear, collected from overseas back to China, once it appeared, it attracted the attention of the Tibetan community.

Starting with 25 million Chinese coins, after several rounds of high price increases of millions of ladders, it quickly rose to 50 million, and the competition at this time was mainly concentrated in two or three collectors in the field, bidding tightly, not giving in to each other, and the eyes of the audience also moved back and forth with the collectors' signs, and finally after dozens of rounds of bidding, Qiu Ying's "Floating Mountains and Warm Cui" settled at 72.8 million Chinese coins, which shows that Qiu Ying's works are definitely masterpieces.

And Tang Yin, the word Bohu, the word Zi Wei, the number six such as the layman, the master of the peach blossom hermitage, the Tang Sheng of the Lu State, the escape of the Zen immortals, etc., is rumored to be born in the sixth year of the Ming Xian Sect Chenghua Geng Yin year Yin Yin Yin day Yin, so the name Tang Yin.

Tang Bohu is full of talent, poetry and writing, and Zhu Yunming, Wen Zhengming, and Xu Zhenqing are called "the four talents of Jiangnan". But he is better at painting, good at landscapes, figures, flowers and birds, and the value of his works is also extremely high.

Now in Fang Mutian's hands, there are two paintings of Qiu Ying and Tang Bohu. And these two paintings are not the works of these two masters, especially Tang Bohu's one, which shocked Fang Mutian.

When he came to the villa, Fang Mutian got the two wooden tubes, excitedly opened the lid at the end of one of the tubes, and took out a scroll of Tibetan paintings from them.

This painting is more than 150 centimeters long and 50 centimeters wide, and it is Qiu Ying's picture of a court lady. In the painting, there is a noble woman dressed gorgeously and wearing a phoenix crown, sitting in front of the dresser at the moment, dressing up. Behind this woman, there is also a ** palace maid waiting.

In the painting, whether it is the noble woman or those ordinary palace maids, everyone is vivid, and the envy, humility, and respect on the faces of the palace maids are vividly displayed. The disdain and arrogance on the noble woman's face were also unmistakable.

Qiu Ying is good at figure painting, especially the palace ladies, attaches great importance to the portrayal and depiction of historical themes, absorbs the techniques of Ma Hezhi and the Yuan people of the Southern Song Dynasty, and has strong pen power.

As for the hair cui hao gold, comprehensive Dan Wizel, exquisite and elegant, worthy of the ancients, especially good at using different thickness of brushwork to express different objects, or round and smooth, or frustrated and sharp, both long color, but also good at white drawing. The character modeling is accurate, the generalization is strong, the image is beautiful, the lines are smooth, different from the plate engraving habits of the times, straight to the Song Dynasty, it has a great influence on the later You Qiu, Yu Zhiding and the Qing court ladies painting, and has become a model of the beauty of the ladies of the times.

The picture of the court lady in front of him is Qiu Ying's proud work, the artistic conception of the whole painting is elegant, the painting style is exquisite, and it is definitely a masterpiece.

"It's a good painting, it's a good painting, although this painting is not as good as last year's auction of "Floating Mountains and Warm Cui", but it is also worth a lot of money." Glancing at the inscription on the painting, Fang Mutian said excitedly.

Ling said with a smile on the side: "Master, if this painting is viewed at the market price, its value is about fifty million Huaxia coins. ”

Fang Mutian sighed: "Fifty million, it's really not cheap. ”

After speaking, Fang Mutian looked at the painting carefully before putting it aside, then took out another wooden tube, opened the port, and took out another painting from the tube.

Taking a deep breath and suppressing the excitement in his heart, Fang Mutian carefully unfolded the painting.

The scroll slowly unfolded in Fang Mutian's hands, and the first thing that appeared in Fang Mutian's sight was the mountains and water, followed by some flowers and some birds. The birds full of aura are flying happily in the sky, and the landscapes and flowers on the ground are extremely realistic.

Seeing this section exposed, Fang Mutian's eyes were immediately attracted, and the movements in his hands also accelerated, and after a while, the entire painting was displayed in front of him.

There are many small birds in the painting, in addition, there is also a phoenix, yes, it is a phoenix, very beautiful, noble, holy, "a hundred birds towards the phoenix", it is the name of this painting, it is the most representative work of Tang Bohu.

The movements of each bird in the picture are different, and what makes you even more amazed is their eyes, which are very expressive, and the eyes of each bird represent different thoughts. Some eyes are full of respect for the queen, some are full of crazy worship, some are arrogant and uninhibited, all kinds of forms, thousands of charms, the whole painting has a unique idea and meaning.

"It's a good painting, it's really worthy of Tang Bohu, I'm afraid only he can paint such a charm in "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", and it's even better than the painting that Qiu Ying just had." Fang Mutian couldn't help but admire.
