Feeling the artistic conception in the painting, Li Mobai was stunned for a moment, the painting was so expressive! It's simply a myth, if you haven't seen the works of top masters of figure painting such as Gu Kaizhi, Zhang Sengqiu, and Wu Daozi, Li Mobai will think it's a myth.

But the work in front of him is not the work of any of the above three people, Li Mobai carefully looked at the figure in the painting, and knew that this should be the first emperor of the Tang Dynasty, Gaozu Li Yuan, after the painting turned out to be Su Dongpo's inscription, concisely expounding the merits and demerits of Gaozu Li Yuan's life.

Li Mobai knew that this was definitely not Su Dongpo's painting, and although Dongpo monks were also good at painting, they had never reached such a height in portrait painting.

After carefully recalling the master of figure painting in the Song Dynasty, Li Mobai's first reaction was Li Gonglin of the Northern Song Dynasty, this Gong can be said to be the first person to paint figures after Mr. Daoxuan, and only this Gong's painting can be worthy of the inscription of the Dongpo monk.

While thinking and observing the style of this painting, the more I looked, the more frightened I was, and the more I looked, the more I was sure that this painting should be the painting of Li Gonglin, a monk of Longmian, and my heart was suddenly full of doubts.

Looking down further, I found that the second character turned out to be the famous Taizong Li Shimin, whose majesty is better than Li Yuan, at a glance, I suddenly felt that all the heroes in the world were discolored, Taizong in the world is alone, Li Mobai was speechless in his heart, immediately Emperor Li Shimin is worthy of being the first emperor of the ages, even a portrait is full of the domineering spirit of the hero, and then look at the person who is the inscription is Wang Xu, at this time Li Mobai has already acquiesced in his heart that this is the painting of Longmian Jushi.

Look at the third character, Li Mobai knew at a glance that this was Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, but this person's demeanor was worse than Li Yuan and Li Shimin, which was just in line with the status of Gaozong Li Zhi in history, and the inscription behind was Zeng Xu, Li Mobai knew that this Zeng Xuan was Zeng Gong's nephew, one of the 'Seven Rare Zengs', and a famous literati in the Northern Song Dynasty, and also had a close relationship with Mr. Li Gonglin, and Mr. Li Gonglin's famous "Five Horses" is also this public inscription.

The next figure surprised Li Mobai even more, this picture was none other than the first female emperor in Chinese history - Empress Wu Wu Zetian. Seeing Wu Zetian's portrait, Li Mobai didn't react a little, only felt that he had crossed the historical time and space, and looked at the court with this self-reliant and wordless Emperor Zetian.

To Li Mobai's surprise, after the portrait of Empress Wu, it turned out to be like a wordless tablet of Empress Wu's self-reliance, blank, no one inscribed, it is normal to think about it, on top of the official history, Wu Zetian originally belonged to a controversial figure, and it was normal for no one to comment.

Next is Zhongzong Li Xian, Ruizong Li Dan, the image of the two monarchs is as realistic, although there is no lack of imperial gas, but it is less of the king's spirit, very in line with their historical status, but the promotion of people is very famous, the famous calligrapher Mi Fu.

Then down is the famous Tang Ming Emperor Xuanzong Li Longji, to Xuanzong, the painter's style of brushwork is a change, fully showing Li Longji's versatile image, seeing Li Longji's portrait, Li Mobai feels that he is not an emperor, but a master wearing a dragon robe, and the inscription behind is even more surprising to Li Mobai - Huang Tingjian, this public can be said to be the most prestigious collection in the current collection market, a piece of "Pillar Inscription" is proud of 430 million yuan, it can really be described as a thousand words.

Looking further down, Li Mobai found that this long scroll had completely painted the twenty-first emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and included the handwriting of all the famous literati of the same era.

It wasn't until he finished reading the whole long scroll that Li Mobai finally discovered the knowledge of Longmian Jushi, and couldn't help but be even happier in his heart, although even if this long scroll did not have the knowledge, it did not hinder its artistic value, but having the knowledge was the icing on the cake and the finishing touch.

There is a Song Dynasty, the first figure painting is Li Gonglin, and Su Dongpo is good, but also with Su Dongpo's political enemy Wang Anshi friends, other such as Huang Tingjian, Mi Fu and others are Li Gonglin's friends, it can be said that this long scroll is not only a painting, but also a Song Dynasty literati relationship map, but also a collection of all the literati's handwriting, the value is immeasurable.

But what made Li Mobai wonder was that in addition to Li Gonglin's knowledge and the inscription's knowledge, there was no one else in the entire scroll who only collected seals. This made Li Mobai puzzled, since this painting could enter the Old Summer Palace, how could there be no collection seal of the Old Summer Palace?

After thinking for a while, Li Mobai only found one answer, this painting has not been circulated, until the Eight-Nation Alliance robbed the Old Summer Palace, it was sent to the Qing Palace, and then it was looted by the Eight-Nation Bandits in France, and finally fell into a shelved pavilion, the fate of the pearl covered with dust.

Seeing Li Mobai put away this Chinese painting, the shopkeeper said, "My Chinese friend, how do you feel?" ”

"I'm so disappointed!" Li Mobai said on the ground, with a dissatisfied expression, looking quite convincing.

When the shop owner heard this, he said in his heart that the last painting, you have spent a lot of time watching it, how can you not be satisfied, it seems that the Chinese are really cunning, "Oh, that's a pity, I'm sorry to disappoint you!" ”

Li Mobai couldn't help but be happy when he heard this, and secretly said You are actually playing tricks with me, but these are indeed good things, and you have to buy them first anyway, "Although I am disappointed, but at least it is a Chinese antique, rather than putting it in this corner, but it is not bad to buy a few pieces as decorations in the room, of course, if the price is right." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, why did the secret passage suddenly change again, so he said, "I don't know if you feel more satisfied with those items?" ”

"Whatever, it's not a precious thing anyway, it's just that you have some things here that can't be sold to customers according to the laws of your country!" Li Mobai said quite casually, but he warned the shopkeeper.

In countries with a sound legal system in Europe and the United States, selling fake antiques not only has to suffer huge fines, but also face criminal lawsuits.

"Oh, no, no, no, my goods here are all legal, and I can issue you a formal invoice." The shopkeeper said stubbornly, this kid is really not simple, not only fluent in French, but also understands French law.

"Yes, then I will buy all these Chinese antiques, and then I will find the museum's appraisal experts to issue an authoritative appraisal certificate for me, I don't know if you are willing!" Li Mobai said with a smile.

"Oh, no, no, no, I'm willing to give you the lowest price if you like, but the invoice can only be issued for crafts!" The shopkeeper hurriedly said.

"Oh, then tell me, if it's appropriate, I can consider it!" Li Mobai smiled slightly.

The shopkeeper saw that Li Mobai was interested, and his heart suddenly became happy, and secretly said that as long as I issue you an invoice for handicrafts, even if you go to appraise, I am not afraid, and I didn't say that this is an antique, just a handicraft, and I don't have to worry about these Chinese antiques in the future, "Oh, my Chinese friend, if you buy all these Chinese antiques, you only need 1 million euros!" ”

Li Mobai laughed when he heard this, "1 million euros? I can buy Chinese antiques in China that are 10 times more precious than yours! ”

The shopkeeper turned red when he heard this, "My Chinese friend, you are exaggerating, but I saw in the news that the price of antiques in China is very high now!" ”

"The price is high, because it is precious, and they are all famous antiques that have been passed down from generation to generation, and your Chinese antiques, I can say politely, are stalls in China." Li Mobai said nonsense.

"No, no, no, my Chinese friend, 100,000 euros is too cheap, I will never sell it!" The shopkeeper said in his heart that you gave 30,000 euros for the 3 worn-out musical instruments just now, how could you only be willing to pay 100,000 euros for so many Chinese antiques.

"By the way, I forgot to tell you that I'm working in France now, and there are a lot of art shops in Paris that sell Chinese antiques." Li Mobai said with a smile, deliberately selling a flaw.

"My Chinese friend, even if, as you said, these antiques are very cheap in China, if you buy these antiques from China and ship them to France, it will not only cost a lot of shipping costs, but also take a lot of time." The shopkeeper immediately seized on this flaw.

"Oh, what you said makes sense, then I'll bid 150,000 yuan, if you don't want to, then forget it!" Li Mobai said with a clear look.

"No, no, no, at least 10,000 euros each, just like the instrument just now!" The shopkeeper saw that Li Mobai had given in, so he also made concessions.

"In that case, I'll just pick a few at random." Li Mobai said with a smile, secretly saying that you are a foreign devil, but 10,000 euros per piece is also considered a robbery price.

The shopkeeper was a little disappointed when he saw that Li Mobai did not agree to buy all the Chinese antiques in the end, but he thought that these Chinese antiques that had not been cared for for for decades could be sold for 10,000 euros each, which was not bad, so he said, "Oh, it's a pity, then you can choose!" ”

Li Mobai did not hesitate to take Li Gonglin's long scroll as his first choice, and then took all the painting scrolls for himself, including Huang Gongwang's "Fishing in the Streams and Mountains", the portrait of the old witch Cixi and the portrait of the concubines in Jiaqing, as well as the Qing Dynasty copy of Qiu Ying's works and other calligraphy and painting works.

In the end, he took the black inkstone, that is, the imperial inkstone of Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, in his hand, "Just these few pieces, and there are two porcelains outside." ”

The shopkeeper saw that Li Mobai had chosen a lot, and his heart was immediately overjoyed, and he hoped that Li Mobai would choose as many as possible, so he walked out with 6 scrolls of painting scrolls and a side of the inkstone, and pointed to the pair of chanterelle yellow lid jars and a pair of enamel plum bottles outside and said, "There are still a few porcelains, I want them." ”

When the owner saw it, he said to him, he had already selected 11 pieces, and another 110,000 euros would be credited, "Okay, a total of 110,000 euros!" ”

When Li Mobai heard this, he pretended to think, paused and said, "Also, I also want the big iron tool inside, it's good to put it in the study to hold sundries, you can pack it for me." ”
