"If you like this painting, you can only pay directly, and refuse to be in arrears."

Ge Baoyi said sternly: "If you can achieve it, forget it if you can't do it, don't hesitate and hesitate." I don't have the patience to spend it with you. ”

"Definitely, definitely." The huge boss is also very happy: "As long as the things are okay, transfer them immediately." ”

"Good ......"

Ge Bao nodded, and with a direct pull behind his back, he pulled out a scroll.

The reels are wrapped in transparent plastic, rolled in several layers, and waterproof. But such a casual placement made Qi Xiang and the huge boss twitch in the corners of their eyes, and they felt a little distressed.

"I don't know how to do it! Kill the Paint Executioner! ”

The huge boss was distressed, and hurriedly took the scroll with both hands and held it carefully. He was angry in his heart, but because he was not the owner of the thing, he could only hold it back and panic.

Ge Bao didn't have the consciousness of this, and when he saw the huge boss holding the scroll still, he immediately frowned and said, "Don't you look at the painting?" Or have you seen enough before and are paying for it now? ”

"This ......"

The huge boss glanced at the messy table and whispered, "Brother Ge, this is not the place to look at paintings. You eat breakfast first, and after a while, we will change to an elegant place, and it is not too late to take a slow look. ”

“…… Defect. Ge hugged and muttered, and continued to eat breakfast.

Qi Xiang shook his head and accompanied him, continuing to taste the noodle soup here.

About half an hour later, the breakfast was over. The huge boss is also very knowledgeable and takes the first step to settle the bill.

"Thank you." Ge Bao walked downstairs without any sincerity and asked, "Next, where to look at the paintings?" Qi Xiang's home, or yours? ”

"Brother Ge. I was in Huzhou and ran a calligraphy and painting shop. The boss smiled and said, "If you are not afraid of trouble, you can come and sit in my shop." ”

"Whatever." Ge Bao doesn't care. "Far away?" he asked. ”

"It's not far, it's a ten-minute trip ......," the huge boss hurriedly beckoned. Let the driver drive over.

After a while, everyone arrived at Xuzhai, and Qi Xiang looked at it and felt a little emotional.

"It's been a long time......"

Qi Xiang looked around and found that the business of Xuzhai seemed to be quite light, and there were no people in the store. Understandably, though, it's the end of the year. The off-season for the sale of paintings and calligraphy.

Everyone is busy buying New Year's goods, caring about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and they can't take care of any artworks. Generally speaking, it is not until the beginning of spring next year that the antique calligraphy and painting market will gradually resume its liveliness.

"Brother Ge, Brother Qi, please come inside."

At this time, the huge boss was enthusiastic and walked into the second floor with the two of them.

Went up to the VIP room on the second floor. Qi Xiang's eyes swept away, and he hurriedly stepped forward to greet: "Old Sun, you are also here." ”

"You're here?" Sun Lao smiled. He said: "Listen to Boss Pang say, this is Xu Qingteng's true handiwork, I will definitely come to appreciate it." ”

"I'm ...... too" Qi Xiang smiled: "I didn't think you were there, just listening to the teachings." ”

"Wrong, wrong, not teaching, it's communication." Sun Lao waved his hand and said, "Besides, I heard Boss Pang say that you are the matchmaker." That's what happened. I guess you know more about this painting than I do. ”

"Not much more than you." Qi Xiang smiled awkwardly. I can't say that he hasn't even seen a painting.

"Brother Ge. I'll introduce you. ”

At the same time, the huge boss introduced: "This is Mr. Sun, a famous connoisseur of calligraphy and painting in Suzhou." ”

"Hello, old man."

Ge Bao's attitude was very upright, and he knew better what was going on, so he said directly: "Later, I will ask you to evaluate my painting more." ”

"It's my pleasure." Sun Lao smiled: "I can't ask for it." ”

"Brother Ge, sit down."

The huge boss greeted and called someone for tea.

After a lot of busyness, it can be regarded as a stop.

During this period, the picture scroll was naturally spread on a clean and tidy table.

Naturally, everyone gathered around and watched carefully.

This is a very traditional large-scale ink painting, depicting bunches of grapes.

In the picture, under a wall, the fruit hangs upside down on the branches, the water is fresh and tender, and the image is vivid. The lush leaves are dotted with large pieces of ink, the rattan is scattered and drooping, and the branches and leaves are draped, full of heroic and vertical and horizontal atmosphere.

"Good ......"

At first glance, Sun Lao's eyes lit up, and he sighed: "Ink sketching, the letter pen is swaying, it seems to be inadvertent, but it comes from the gods at your fingertips, and it is indeed Xu Qingteng's style to not seek to resemble the rhyme of survival." ”

"Old Sun, this painting is good, isn't it?"

The huge boss came over and said to himself: "At the beginning, as soon as I saw this painting, I already recognized it. I don't know how to describe this law, this rhyme, anyway...... I just feel like it's enjoyable, it's too enjoyable. ”

"The ink is like a cloud, the momentum is compelling, the charm is three points into the wood, and it goes straight to the outside of the painting."

Sun Lao smiled: "Do you feel that after looking at this painting, there is an immersive and hearty feeling?" ”

"Yes, yes, that's it."

The huge boss nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "It's like in the hot summer, I suddenly drank a sip of ice drink, and my whole body was cold, and my skin got goosebumps and was shivering." ”

Ge Bao listened, and couldn't help but whisper next to Qi Xiang: "Is it so exaggerated?" ”

"You don't understand ......" Qi Xiang shook his head: "Boss Pang, he ...... I really love to draw. It's not obsessive, but it's not much worse. ”

"Draw idiot." Ge hugged his shoulders and shrugged: "No wonder. ”

"This is Xu Qingteng's skill."

At this time, Sun Lao sighed with emotion: "He uses ink as the color, uses light ink and thick ink to match, interweaves and turns vines at will, and then uses ink lines to outline seemingly messy lines to express branches and leaf veins." ”

Subsequently, the ink patches of dry and wet shades, different sizes, and amorphous shapes were splashed to represent the leaves. Finally, a few strings of dense ink dots are randomly placed to express the fruit of the grapes. ”

Sun Lao looked admiring: "You see, the whole painting is dripping with ink, and there is no other color at all. It stands to reason that such a painting must be ugly. ”

"But this painting. But it gives people a sense of freshness and refinement, ancient and elegant, and galloping. Sprinkled with a unique style. It is this warm, bold, majestic and domineering freehand painting style. It can stimulate people's hearts and strengthen their minds. ”

Sun Lao's expression was serious, and he said very seriously: "This kind of brushwork is almost like the Tao. ”

"Dao?"

Ge hugged for a moment, but the expression on his face changed a little subtly.

"Yes, this is the pinnacle, almost the Tao." Sun Lao admired it and continued to look at the pictures carefully. A moment later. He stared at him and exclaimed, "Oh, what's going on?" ”

"Old Sun, what's wrong?" The huge boss panicked and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"This ......"

Sun Lao frowned, pointed to the blank space of the scroll, and said suspiciously: "Here...... There seem to be traces of repair. ”

"Patching?"

The huge boss was taken aback, and hurriedly took a closer look, his eyes were about to stick to the picture scroll. But he looked at it for a long time, but he looked confused. He raised his head and said, "Old Sun, where it has been repaired, why can't I see it." ”

"Your eyesight is not good."

Sun Lao shook his head. beckoned: "Qi Xiang, take a look." ”

"Hmm."

Qi Xiang first glanced at Ge Bao meaningfully, and then walked over to look at the picture scroll. He glanced at it twice, and then gently slid his fingertips slightly, and his spiritual sense penetrated, and the whole condition of this painting immediately came to mind.

"How?" Elder Sun asked.

"It's repaired." Qi Xiang immediately nodded: "The paper in this place is slightly different from other places. ”

"Huh?" The huge boss was immediately shocked: "You mean, this painting ...... Questions? ”

"You can't say that." Qi Xiang shook his head. Qianrang said: "Old Sun, let's talk about it." ”

“…… Okay, too. Sun Lao understood what Qi Xiang meant. After all, Qi Xiang wants to avoid suspicion, and these words can only be said by him. Otherwise, the huge boss may not believe it.

"You hear clearly, we're talking about tinkering, tinkering, understand?"

Sun Lao opened his mouth and explained: "It's like an ancient painting, due to improper preservation, it has been mothed with many insect eyes, which not only endangers its safety, but also affects its beauty, so it must be repaired." ”

"Got it, I know that." The huge boss immediately realized: "You mean, this painting was damaged before, so it was repaired." ”

"That's right, that's what it means." Sun Lao stared, his fingers fell on the scroll, turned a slight circle, and then frowned again: "But this broken place is a little strange......"

"What's weird?" The heart of the huge boss was raised again.

"The incision is square, not like natural damage, but more like a man-made cut." Qi Xiang answered next to him and drew a square: "Directly cut off this piece, and then make it up." ”

"What?" The huge boss was shocked and horrified: "Why? ”

"It's like digging money." Sun Lao said softly: "If I'm not mistaken, this piece on the picture scroll should have been inscribed with poetry and text. There are books in the paintings, and the integration of calligraphy and painting is one of the distinctive features of Xu Qingteng's works. ”

"But this painting, where the blank space is left, is a bit abrupt. So I'm guessing it's missing a piece of text. ”

For a while, Sun Lao was also a little annoyed: "If it is not surprising, this text must have been dug up by someone, and then transferred to another painting, so there will be one more 'authentic work' of Xu Qingteng in the world." ”

“…… How dare a thief! ”

The huge boss was furious and slammed the table with a thud.

Ge Bao didn't seem to expect this stubble, and the whole person trembled, and his expression became unnatural. However, he quickly reacted, coughed, lowered his head and drank tea, pretending to be deaf and dumb, and did not make any comments.

But what to be afraid of, what to come.

At this moment, the huge boss turned around and asked, "Brother Ge, ...... you paint?"

"Don't ask me, I don't know anything." Ge Bao blurted out: "I also received this painting in someone else's hands, anyway, it can be sure that it is genuine, as for what the problem is, I don't know very well." (To be continued)
