Chapter 107: Fakes
Cao Xiu's subordinates quickly untied the crane, and without looking at it, he threw it to the little guy next to him, and immediately pulled Cao Yun, who had not yet done it properly, to go to the house.
Cao Yun was about to hand the crane to the little guy at this time, but when he pulled it recklessly, the crane was about to fall down immediately, but fortunately, the little guy who was waiting for him was a quick one.
Not only are his eyes bright, but his hands and feet are also fast, and he bowed down and reached out to scoop the moon-white crane into his arms, avoiding the doom of being dirty.
When Cao Xiu saw it, he shrugged his shoulders embarrassedly, directly ignored his second brother's gaze, and continued to pull Cao Yun into the private room.
He looked left and right, pointed to the west wall, and said, "Second brother, let's start from this side first." ”
After that, the two brothers began to appreciate the masterpieces one after the other.
Cao Xiu was originally immersed in this way, and he looked at it carefully, and while watching, he also commented with Cao Yun beside him with great interest.
Cao Yun's appreciation of calligraphy and painting is okay, but if he looks at it for a long time, he will feel that it is almost the same tone, but after five or six paintings, he will get up under his feet.
If you want to finish reading these three walls quickly, you can sit down and drink tea, and eat some dried fruits and grind your teeth by the way.
In this anxious mood, he quickly distanced himself from Cao Xiu, who was watching carefully and carefully.
Suddenly, Cao Yun, who was walking in front, suddenly smiled, and kept waving to his younger brother in the back.
Cao Xiu looked at him curiously, and Cao Yun waved his hand and smiled: "Come and see, third brother, there is still your masterpiece here." ”
"Oh?" Cao Xiu was curious, and his paintings had never been very fond of giving aways. will not be like Cui Changjian, who exchanges poetry for money.
In Cao Xiu's heart, he has always felt that calligraphy and painting are noble and elegant, and they are holy things that cannot be desecrated.
He used to always target Cui Changjian, and disliking this death for money was also one of the reasons.
Because of Cao Xiu's nature, very few of his paintings survive outside.
is also because of the less, so this lotus son's masterpiece. The price of being fried in Beijing is not low. But the business of this Feiqionglou is very good, and it is not too strange to spend a lot of money to buy a pair.
Cao Xiu walked up to him in a few steps, looked at it with his eyes, and made a 'poof' sound. Laughed. He pointed to this picture of a water lily koi and said to Cao Yun. "It's a copy."
I couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in my heart, "No, I'm not a big guy." Why are people copying my paintings? ”
When Cao Yun heard this, a sense of pride suddenly rose in his heart, but as soon as his mind turned around, he became angry, "Copy? What is copying? This is obviously a deception, he is using your reputation to make money for himself! ”
"Take a good look at it yourself, it's your name on it, and this seal, is it also your seal?"
Cao Yun is a dignified Ming'an Hou Shizi, his temperament is not a good match, he immediately turned his face and ordered the little servant standing at the door of the house, "Go, call your shopkeeper, just say that this son is looking for him something, let him come quickly." ”
The little guy can serve in the private room on the fifth floor, and he is also a shrewd and clever person, and when he heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement.
said, please wait a while, and the little one will go and invite the shopkeeper to come. “
After that, he hurried out of the door, ran all the way, and went to find his shopkeeper.
Seeing this, Cao Xiu felt that it was inappropriate, and frowned and said, "Second brother, what's the use of you calling the shopkeeper now?" In fact, he is also a victim, is it possible, you still want to find out, who painted this fake painting? ”
Cao Yun was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but pat his thigh, "I'm really angry, but it's not what you said?" ”
But when his eyes looked at the picture of the water lily koi on the wall again, he gritted his teeth and said: "At the very least, I have to tell him, this is fake, don't hang it anymore, it won't hinder people's eyes." ”
"Third brother, you didn't say anything before, and you didn't look at it carefully for your brother, but now you know that it's fake, and then take a closer look, this painting is not just similar to the shape, but the god is not similar."
"In the final analysis, it is just a fake painting of cats and tigers, after all, it is just a trace, and the overly deliberate pursuit of resembling you, but it is rigid and stiff, and there is no aura at all."
Cao Xiu had a different opinion, he shook his head in disapproval, and said: "This person's painting is at least seven or eight points similar to my brushwork, and he still has talent." ”
"It's just that if he blindly only wants money and imitates other people's paintings, the achievements of this life will limit him to death here."
"But if he throws away his burdens and paints only for himself, he may not have a great achievement in the future."
Pap, slap, slap, from behind the two of them, there was a crisp applause.
The brothers turned their faces together to look, and saw a middle-aged man about forty years old, with a long white beard, wearing a sapphire and blue flower robe, standing in front of the mahogany crescent moon door at the door.
Seeing that Cao Xiu and the brothers were hesitant, the man hurriedly clasped his hands into fists and introduced himself: "Little old man Gao Dengshan is the boss of Feiqiong Building, and he happened to come to the building today to check the accounts. ”
The owner of a restaurant, but he is full of bookishness, and he really feels a little out of place.
Cao Yun smiled lightly and clenched his fists in return, and then pointed to the fake painting and said, "Boss Gao, this picture of water lily koi on your wall is a fake, so it's better to take it down." ”
Gao Dengshan looked at the painting with regret on his face, and said with a sigh: "You don't know, this painting was bought by Xiao Lao'er at the beginning. ”
"At that time, Xiao Lao'er still felt that it was a big fluke, and finally bought his beloved work, but he never expected it to be a fake, and money is a trivial matter, which really hurts people's hearts."
Cao Yun heard what he said, glanced at Cao Xiu, and asked, "What Boss Gao said is just a painting, how can you talk about the word sad?" It's a bit exaggerated. ”
Gao Dengshan sighed, put on a smile again, and asked sideways: "It's a long time to say this, and I also invite the prince and the son of Lian to sit down, the little old man has prepared a good Lanshan Biluochun, you two taste tea, appreciate your face and listen to the little old man's careful words." ”
Before these words landed, eight beautiful maids rushed in outside the door, all holding exquisite trays, and the smiling Wen curts.
Then he changed the snacks and tea on the table in the room with his hands and feet.
Thinking that there is a big boss of Feiqionglou sitting here, the things at this meeting will not be vulgar, just look at the appearance, you know that they are all superior.
Seeing that it was still early at the moment, in line with the idea that being idle is also idle, the Cao Yun brothers sat down generously, sipping good tea, listening to stories, and looking at the beautiful scenery, which was also comfortable. (To be continued......)
