As soon as he saw Fang Youming pointing the finger at Zhao Zhuo, Tong Dongyang knew that he must have had a holiday with Zhao Zhuo, and it was really unruly to discuss whether the "Palace Trick Map" was genuine or a fake, but several of them were knowledgeable people, and they spoke very quietly, which did not affect the surrounding auctions.

During the time when several people were talking, there were more and more voices of bidding, and the price was naturally rising, and after a while, the price had risen to 15 million.

Zhao Zhuo's heart sank, Yao Wensheng led the words to Ji Yuan, if he said that he didn't know how to paint, wouldn't it mean that Ji Yuan didn't have eyesight, and brought someone who didn't know how to paint to auction? But now if you really want to draw a conclusion, you can't talk nonsense.

Zhao Zhuo subconsciously looked towards the painting, his eyes fell on the clothes that reflected the screen and the palace maid, and his pupils suddenly dilated, and he suddenly had an epiphany.

Seeing Zhao Zhuo turn his head and say nothing, the corners of Fang Youming's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile, Tang Yin's paintings are so precious, if you want to do an appraisal for this kind of painting, if you don't have more than ten or twenty years of appraisal experience, you don't dare to speak, even if you boldly express your opinions, it will inevitably be full of loopholes and fall into laughter.

And just like this, Zhao Zhuo can lose face in front of Jing Yao and let him see the gap clearly.

Fang Youming smiled slightly: "Brother Zhao, it seems that I am embarrassed for you, after all, you are still so young, I am afraid it is the first time to see such a precious picture scroll." ”

Zhao Zhuo turned his head at this time, and said with a faint smile: "Brother Fang is right, it is indeed the first time I have seen such a precious painting, but I already have a judgment in my heart. ”

As soon as these words came out, Ji Yuan and Sister Wang's eyes immediately lit up, and they turned their heads at the same time, and Jing Yao and Ji Xiaofan also stared at them at the same time.

Hearing Zhao Zhuo's words, Tong Dongyang couldn't help but sneer, and Fang Youming laughed: "Then I'll listen to it." ”

Zhao Zhuo said calmly: "There is no doubt that this painting is genuine. ”

Fang Youming smiled and said, "Oh, is Brother Zhao so sure?" This painting has been identified as a fake by many experts, this ancient painting, if it is true, it is priceless, if it is false, it is a piece of waste paper, but it is not as simple as a sentence. ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly and said: "I said that it is genuine, naturally I have a certain reason, listening to Brother Fang's tone, it seems that I am more inclined to this painting is a fake." ”

Fang Youming said: "I think the biggest controversy in this painting is clear to connoisseurs, that is, whether it is the ghostwriting of Tang Yin's teacher Zhou Chen, if it is really genuine, I want to listen to Brother Zhao's opinion." ”

In the face of Fang Youming's-for-tat, Zhao Zhuo replied calmly: "Zhou Chen is Tang Yin's teacher, but the painting style of the two is completely different. In summary, Zhou Chen's brushwork is old, while Tang Yin's paintings are soft and rigid, smart and elegant, so at least in this painting, it is unlikely that Zhou Chen wrote on his behalf. ”

Zhao Zhuo talked eloquently, expounded and refined Zhou Chen's style, and then compared it with Tang Yin, which can be described as hitting the nail on the head.

Fang Youming didn't seem to expect Zhao Zhuo to be so knowledgeable, and he could say such a big thing casually, so he handed Yao Wensheng a look, Yao Wensheng said lightly: "This "Palace Trick Picture" is the style of painting in the Southern Song Dynasty, and Zhou Chen can be said to be the same sect, and Tang Yin is the teacher of Zhou Chen, and the most successful painting is also this landscape painting, the landscape painting on this screen is clear and chic, the branches are old and straight, and its painting style is also considered to be old, and it cannot be ruled out that it is not painted by Zhou Chen, and Zhou Chen is very familiar with Tang Yin's paintings. As his teacher, the pen is old, and it is easy to write for him. ”

Yao Wensheng used the painting as a testimony and talked eloquently, and Fang Youming couldn't help but bow slightly.

Zhao Zhuo smiled and said, "Brother Yao seems to have only seen this painting, but not this calligraphy." Tang Yin studied painting in his early days, 'attacking Li Tang from afar' and 'inbreeding Shen Zhou'. The master he worshipped was not only Zhou Chen, but also Shen Zhou, the founder of the Wumen School at that time. Shen Zhou took Yuan people painting as his sect, and Zhou Chen took Southern Song Dynasty painting as his teacher, and these two schools were the two major painting schools of the Ming Dynasty. However, Tang Yin has both strengths, integrating Yuanren brushwork into the male Song style, so that it surpasses the teacher Zhou Chen, if this painting is ambiguous and unrecognizable, then this [***] has a deep bottom, dignified font, rigorous law, and the strengths of both schools, and is by no means written by Zhou Chen. ”

Yao Wensheng had already prepared, and said lightly: "It's very simple, since there is no doubt about this calligraphy, it is naturally written by Tang Yin." However, the determination of calligraphy does not affect the judgment of the painting, and it may also be the calligraphy written by Tang Yin later after Zhou Chen's pen was painted, and that's it. ”

Fang Youming couldn't help but bow his head slightly: "Yes, this understanding is also reasonable. ”

Zhao Zhuo shook his head slightly and said: "The Northern School of Painting is deep and far away, the stone body is solid, the wind and bones are strange, and the momentum is majestic; The Southern School of Painting has a soft and gentle painting style, the brush and ink are chic and subtle, and the ink is moist and luxurious; However, both have their own weaknesses, such as the Northern School, where the brushstrokes are too revealing and lacks subtlety, and the Southern School lacks backbone, solemnity and courage, while Tang Yin breaks the stereotype and fuses the strengths and weaknesses of the two schools together, forming a unique style with strange bones, beautiful brushwork, and dripping ink and water. Indeed, Zhou Chen is Tang Yin's teacher and has the possibility of ghostwriting for him, however, even if he can imitate the style, he cannot create the high-spirited heroism of Tang Yin before he was thirty years old, and he will definitely be infected with some old and heavy feelings. ”

The two of them argued with each other, each with their own basis, whether it was Ji Yuan, Jing Yao and others, they couldn't help nodding their heads again and again, but at the same time, their faces were also embarrassed, even though Zhao Zhuo had extensive knowledge and eloquence, but if it went on like this, wouldn't they have their own opinions, and it wasn't that they couldn't make a conclusion.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Zhuo finished speaking, Yao Wensheng immediately retorted: "I think that this "Court Trick Picture" has a sense of solemnity and heaviness in the elegant, showing the solemnity and solemnity of the court, and there is no lack of that kind of ethereal artistic conception, and these are exactly what only experienced people can have, even though Tang Yin was talented at the time, but after all, he was less than 30 years old, his life experience is still shallow, and he may be even worse in terms of realm. ”

Tong Dongyang plucked out his ears at this time, and sneered: "I said two, don't talk in vain here, I think you just argue until dawn, and you can't convince the other party, this kind of thing still has to rely on ironclad evidence, without ironclad evidence, it's better to shut up obediently!" ”

Tong Dongyang lost no time in saying this, secretly rejoicing, this sentence gave Zhao Zhuo and Fang Youming a slap, it was really a rare opportunity.

On the contrary, Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly and said: "Brother Tong is right, then I will talk about the ironclad evidence of the authenticity." ”

"What?" Tong Dongyang was stunned when he heard this.

"Okay, then I'm going to listen to the so-called ironclad evidence in your mouth, Brother Zhao." Fang Youming's voice was long, with a hint of mockery in his eyes, just with such a hairy boy, he dared to claim to have found ironclad evidence of the genuine product, what is ironclad evidence, it is something that can be finalized as soon as it is said, and this painting, which has been determined as a fake by many experts, is absolutely impossible to appear, otherwise, wouldn't those experts have lost their eyes?

At this time, the auction has reached the stage of incandescent bidding, and only three people are left to bid, and the price has also risen to a high price of 17 million.

Even Ji Yuan seemed a little anxious, wanting to know what the ironclad evidence in Zhao Zhuo's mouth was.

Time was pressing, and Zhao Zhuo didn't sell it, so he said directly: "You have already seen that there is a screen behind the palace maids, and there are landscape paintings on the screen, and some of their clothes cover the lake in the landscape paintings. ”

"Yes, and then?" Fang Youming glanced at it, didn't see anything abnormal, and said playfully.

"Brother Zhao, is there anything wrong here?" Ji Xiaofan finally couldn't help but speak.

Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly: "Xiao Fan, you must have heard of the Eighteen Strokes, right?" ”

Ji Xiaofan nodded and said: "The so-called eighteen strokes are the names of traditional Chinese painting techniques, which are generally used in the folds of ancient characters' clothes, which are divided into ancient gossamer drawings, string drawings, iron line drawings, etc., the clothes of this palace maid are the iron line drawings, which are thicker than the string drawings, and the turning prescription is hard and powerful, like the shape of the wire bending, fine and smooth. ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled slightly, pointed to the water surface of the landscape painting and asked, "Then have you seen that there are a lot of water lines on the water surface?" ”

Tong Dongyang couldn't help but sneered and said, "If there is no water ripple on the water surface, is it still called water?" ”

Zhao Zhuo pointed to the part of the palace maid's clothes that covered the water surface and said: "Then please take a closer look, not all of the palace maid's clothes are drawn with iron lines, but the part that covers the water surface is used - the water pattern drawing of the war pen!" ”

As soon as these words fell, everyone was taken aback, and hurriedly raised their eyes, in fact, everyone had already looked at this painting carefully, but they didn't notice this, and now when they looked at it again, they suddenly found the meaning of what Zhao Zhuo said.

Some of the palace maid's clothes are really painted with a war pen water pattern, this kind of depiction is to use the painting method of landscape painting water pattern to express the thin and pleated clothing pattern, which is one of the many ways to describe Tang Yin's ladies' pictures, because this part is connected with the water pattern, so it is easy to be ignored even if you look carefully without being reminded.

As for the ironclad evidence that Zhao Zhuo said, everyone knows very well, because this kind of war pen water pattern drawing is the penmanship that the northern school is good at, rough and powerful, it is combined with landscape painting, it seems to be very harmonious, and the calligraphy above reflects each other, a look at the calligraphy and painting is a work in one go, it is not that there is calligraphy after painting, or there is calligraphy first and there is painting, but after the painting is done, write this calligraphy in one breath, so that it can be so perfect.
