Chapter 126 Old Man Wang's Baby

"Young man, I heard that you painted hundreds of thousands of dollars and bought the four paintings of the He family?" Li Mobai had dinner with Jiang Yunpeng, and then followed Gao Qiang to the old man's house, and as soon as he sat down at the door, the old man asked.

"Yes, old man, you are very well-informed." Li Mobai said truthfully, and then said no more, wanting to see what medicine was sold in the old man's gourd.

"Then you show me, how about my paintings, these paintings are bigger than those paintings of the He family?" After the old man confirmed the real surname of the news, he looked at this Li Mobai and said.

Li Mobai looked around when he heard this, but he didn't find any paintings hanging on it, and knew that Old Man Wang hadn't taken it out yet, "Cheng, old man, as long as your paintings are really valuable, I won't lose your old man." ”

If Han Dong heard Li Mobai's words, he must have known that what Li Mobai could do would generally pit the other party to the bottom of the pit.

Old man Wang staggered into the inner room, and after a while came out with a few scrolls, "These are the paintings, in fact, these paintings were found in the room of the mansion in the village after the guerrilla defeat ran away from the battle of the person who occupied the mansion back then, but I heard that these paintings were found in a secret compartment, young man, you have to look carefully." ”

When Li Mobai heard this, he said in his heart that this old man really ambushed himself, he had already seen him twice, and he didn't mention it, obviously he was old and good, and he would never expose his treasure before he acted.

Seeing that the old man took out the painting scroll, there was obviously a long scroll, and I heard that it was found from the dark grid, Li Mobai couldn't help but have a trace of expectation in his heart, but he didn't rush to get started, "Old man, the times are changing, and the status of painters is also changing, so I can't guarantee that the value of your paintings will be high." ”

Old man Wang smiled slightly when he heard this, "Young man, look at it first, I think you are a sincere young man, and you have been more trustworthy in the village in the past two days." ”

Old man Wang said that Li Mobai is trustworthy, there is indeed no problem with this, if he is honest, this old man will be completely blind, Li Mobai has been plundering in the village for the past two days, although Li Mobai is not for the purpose of making money.

Glanced at the painting scroll that the old man put on the table, and found that there were a total of 5 including the long scroll, and after thinking about it, the long scroll still waited until the end to see it, if it was a treasure, it was the last big surprise, and if it was a copy, it would not be disappointed at the beginning.

I picked up a normal painting scroll and looked at it, only to see that in front of the waterfall on the rockhead, a master sat quietly and drank tea, his mind was elegant, and he seemed to have been integrated into the sound of the water and the piano; Coats's white robe and shawl, undressed and pounded, like the momentum of being in a no-man's field; Behind him are calligraphy and paintings, ancient artifacts such as Ding Yi in front of the front, a boy is arched, and another boy is holding things to stand beside him; There are two pine trees in front, the pine trunk is distinct, in the beauty of mottled bending, resuming the flowing brushwork.

From the point of view of the painting style, the brushes used are thinner and do not be cut, showing the chiaroscuro of the Southern Song Dynasty courtyard painting, which is dissolved in the dyed ink; The waterfall is finely hooked, rarely frustrated, and the elegance is natural; Shi Yan is a secret point, which has its own moisturizing interest; The bark and stones of the human face are dyed with ochre, and the green is slightly applied, showing the elegant and refined atmosphere, and the bookish air is blowing in the face.

Seeing this, Li Mobai couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart, good painting, it is indeed worthy of Tang Bohu's artistic accomplishment at the peak of his later years, although he has not yet looked closely at the seal, Li Mobai has confirmed that this is Tang Bohu's authentic handiwork.

I took another look at the payment, and found that Tang Yin was indeed a gift to my friend Yang Jijing and made the "Qin Shi Map", with the seal of "Tang Yin" and "Liuru Jushi".

Seeing this painting, Li Mobai lowered his expectations for the long scroll behind, and was already satisfied with Tang Yin's qin shi picture, which was completely out of recognition and satisfaction with the artistic conception in the painting.

Look at the second one again, at a glance you know that this is a colored landscape, and then take a closer look and find that this is Qiu Ying's "High Mountains and Flowing Water", and it is the literati painting of the four families of Wumen, this work is painted in the mountain depression of the green pine four plants, the celebrity is sitting in the grass hall, next to the piano book, the child is cooking tea, the old man is picking up the steps from the mountain road, it seems to be returning from buying wine. The pine trees are abruptly oblique, the trunks are folded and reared, the branches and leaves are dense, and the waterfall rushes down from the gap between the pine tops, leaps in the stream behind the house, crosses the back of the thatched house, and slowly converges in front of the house, forming the transcendent scene of the high-ranking hermit. The seal of the "Qiu family's real father" and "the people in the peach blossom dock" are sealed.

Looking at the paintings in front of him, Li Mobai was born in the mountains and built a thatched hut in his heart, reading books and playing the piano every time, and indulging in the mountains and rivers.

Put away this Qiu Ying's masterpiece, and unfold another one, which is still the work of the Wumen painting school, Shen Zhou's "Willow Shade Quiet Fishing Picture", which is also a literati painting, Gao Shi sits on the willow trunk, holding a fishing rod, there are several rocks under it, the willow branches are dense, and the most ingenious is that there are several bamboo branches behind Gao Shi, echoing with the willow tree, highlighting the indifferent fame and fortune, quiet and far-reaching celebrity style.

Looking at this painting, Li Mobai secretly thought in his heart that these paintings were all related to the Wumen School of painting, so whose work would the long scroll be? I couldn't help but increase the expectation of the captain roll in my heart, endured the curiosity in my heart, picked up the fourth one and looked at it, opened it to see, it was Qiu Ying's masterpiece "On the Painting of Pine Creek", by the stream of the long pine forest, two Masters sat on the ground along the bank of the stream, with a lofty expression, white clothes and plain clothes, and the temperament was dusty, a guqin was placed next to it, many volumes of calligraphy and painting, and the Buddha was exhibiting the scroll to enjoy the play, there was a stone table under the tree behind him, and a tea set was placed on the stone table. Do not lose to Wei Jin.

Li Mobai saw this, and secretly praised in his heart, the heads of the four Ming families are really extraordinary, and every branch and leaf of the pen fits the real scene, just like nature.

"Old man, these works of yours are very good, and the value of those works of the He family is much higher." Li Mobai didn't open the scroll in a hurry, but talked to Old Man Wang.

"Well, my old man's things are not bad, young man, do you like these paintings?" Old man Wang's expression was obviously a little proud, and he said with a smile, "There is another one you haven't seen yet, let's talk about it after reading it." ”

As he was talking, Li Mobai's phone rang, picked it up and looked at it, and found that it was Han Dong's phone, and said in his heart that Han Dong came back at the right time, and he came back just when he was about to use the money, picked up the phone, and sure enough, Han Dong came back, and asked if he needed to prepare cash, "Dongzi, you came back just in time, come over quickly, I'm at Wang's house." ”

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone and wanted to continue looking at the long scroll, but Li Mobai suddenly stopped and did not unfold it.

Seeing two Qiu Ying's works in a row, as well as one each of Tang Yin and Shen Zhou, Li Mobai felt that his eyes were a little aesthetically fatigued, especially works with similar styles, this long scroll should wait and see, anyway, it won't be bad in terms of feeling.

"Old man, did you just say that you found these paintings from the dark compartment?" didn't rush to look at it, so he chatted with Old Man Wang.

"Well, I heard the elders say that I thought there were gold ingots hidden in it, but when I opened it, I saw these paintings." Old man Wang was obviously reminiscing about the past, "My father thought that since it was hidden in the secret compartment, it should be a very precious thing, so he took it back, but no one recognized it, so he kept it there. ”

When Li Mobai heard this, he secretly said in his heart that it was okay, there was no loss of sincerity and benevolence to these works because of dampness, and it must be okay to protect them, "Old man, you have worked hard, you have been protecting these works all these years." ”

"That is, if I hadn't protected it well, it would have been broken a long time ago, and the paintings that many of them took home would have been broken by now." The old man was praised by Li Mobai, and he was very happy.

"Old man, I want these five paintings, how much do you want to ask for old man?" Although there is still a work that has not been unfolded to see, Li Mobai feels that it is by no means an ordinary color, and even has a sense of vicissitudes of history.

"Oh, the young man is really a knowledgeable person, but my old man really doesn't understand, it's not as much as you say!" Old man Wang didn't say his psychological price, but he obviously had a certain expectation in his heart.

Li Mobai heard the words and said in his heart, you old man, I made my intentions so honest, you actually pushed me back, it seems that you still can't be a good person, think about it for a while, "Old man, these paintings, including the one I haven't seen yet, I will give you a total of 3 million, do you think it's feasible?" ”

Li Mobai originally wanted to give 5 million, but he knew that if the price was too outrageous, it would be inappropriate, and even cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

Old man Wang asked Li Mobai to bid 3 million, and he was not surprised, thinking that he should be too old and insensitive to the number of money. Old man Wang's son and daughter-in-law sat next to him and heard about 3 million, but they were taken aback, and they didn't speak for a long time, and the two looked at each other with big eyes, not knowing what to say.

Li Mobai didn't speak, and he didn't speak, his attention was once again attracted by the long scroll that had not yet been unfolded, but he didn't get started, although he felt that this should be a famous painting, but just by observing the performance of the silk book, it was not sure whether it was valuable or not, and the long scroll works were often facsimiles, and there were very few authentic works.

"What you say, young man, is it true?" The old man was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Mobai and asked.

"Old man, what I said is true, this is the highest price I can give." Li Mobai replied affirmatively.

"Okay, good, the young man is really a sincere person." The old man said sincerely, I just heard that the price of the paintings was higher than that of the He family, and I thought that Li Mobai could give 1 million, which was already the biggest expectation.

After Han Dong came over, Li Mobai paid the money and returned to his residence with these paintings.

As soon as he returned to the house, Li Mobai couldn't wait to unfold the scroll, ready to see if it was a copy or an authenticity.
