Chapter 458: Miniature Mercedes

Yang Ping gestured to Abu and Gu Jing and walked out of the restaurant again.

"Hello? Teacher Zhang, you said. ”

Zhang Shide couldn't hold back, and his voice was a little sharp: "Xiao Yang, I just confirmed the photo with my third uncle, this is indeed the Bayeux Cordyceps Zhongtang made by Mr. Qi Baishi when he was eighty-three years old!" ”

Third uncle?! Does this thing have a connection to your family?

"Mr. Zhang, what do you mean?" Yang Ping rubbed the blue and white medicine master beads, and the accessories of Tianhuang frozen stone and the blue and white seed material fit perfectly, and the feel was great.

Zhang Shide coughed twice and calmed down: "In the forties of the last century, the president of Jincheng Yangliuqing Painting Society was my second grandfather, and at that time he often traveled between Beijing and Tianjin to order calligraphy and paintings from famous artists in Beijing to collectors in Jincheng. ”

"At that time, there was a big official in Jincheng, who was a lover of Mr. Qi's calligraphy and painting, and he proposed to my second grandfather that he wanted to order a bayleaf grass insect in the middle hall, on the condition that he could paint as many bay leaves and grass insects as he could. This request was rejected and blamed by Mr. Qi, who said that a work needs to be rigorously composed and full of beauty, how can it be arbitrarily painted with countless bay leaves and grass insects?! ”

Later, after many twists and turns, my second grandfather finally asked Mr. Qi for approval. This exquisite, magnificent picture of the bay leaf grass insect has finally come out after months of painstaking creation by Mr. Qi. ”

This eight-foot whole paper bay leaf grass insect picture painted a total of 66 bay leaves and 66 grass insects, butterflies, dragonflies, grasshoppers, praying mantises, crickets, locusts, cicadas, bees, textile mothers, moths, silkworms and other insects are not the same, Mr. Qi in order to create this painting, specially found someone to catch countless grass insects to sketch. It is only then that these grass insects have both gods and shapes. The whole work is magnificent. ”

Mr. Qi said. Painting insects "have to work and write, which is the most difficult to grasp", "the painting of thick brush and ink is rare to resemble the shape, and the painting of slender brush and ink is rare to look like". He also said: "Whoever paints insects, it seems to be the work of a ridiculous craftsman, and it is like a famous handiwork." "Alas. Looking at this picture of bay leaf grass insects, I have to admire his extremely detailed observation and expression ability, which cannot be done without decades of sketching work. ”

Yang Ping's mobile phone is hot, why can't this professional always grasp the point: "Teacher Zhang, stop, stop, then this picture of Bayeux insects can be sure to be genuine, right?" It's just right for me to go home and hang in the middle hall, as if there is still a couplet. ”

"Ugh!" Zhang Shide was a little dizzy, "This, this Bayleaf Grass Insect Diagram is the most outstanding transcendent work of Mr. Qi's life. There is no other such a large size. This year, Gade auctioned a long scroll of Qi Baishi, with an auction amount of more than 100 million! But that's not even the highest. The highest is at a large-scale auction in Beijing in May this year, Mr. Qi's "Pine and Cypress High Litu. The middle hall of the Four Words of the Seal Book, the starting auction is 88 million, and the final 425.55 million falls on the hammer! But the size of the painting is still slightly smaller than your picture of a bayleaf insect! ”

Yang Ping still had questions: "Mr. Zhang, do you know how this painting spread abroad?" ”

Zhang Shide sighed: "Alas, it's hard to say." After the publication of "Bayleaf Grass Insect Picture", it was followed by decades of turmoil and ups and downs, and this rare treasure has not been heard from in China. The domestic calligraphy and painting circles turned their attention to foreign countries, hoping to find this rare and rare painting abroad, but I didn't expect it to be found by you. ”

Yang Pingxin said, that is, I can find it, and even if others find it, it is just a pile of broken paper. What kind of ups and downs did this "Bayleaf Grass Insect Picture" go through to become a shabby wrapping paper? What a mystery.

Yang Ping retracted his thoughts: "That means that I can rightfully hang this painting at home?" Don't worry about what to inherit in an orderly manner? ”

Zhang Shide was speechless, and he was anxious about Mr. Wei next to him, Mr. Wei pulled the chair and moved over, and stretched out his hand to signal the phone to him.

"Hello? Xiao Yang, for me, buy these things abroad to pay attention to the relevant laws, they generally prohibit the exit of their country's rare cultural relics, compared to these art management is not very strict, but it is best to have relevant shopping vouchers, in case it is very troublesome to detain. When will you be back? I'll pick you up. ”

Are you picking me up? Take "Bayeux Insect Diagram", right? Yang Ping haha: "I'll go back in a few days, of course, there are channels to bring it back, besides, this painting can also be hung in the castle of Villesekossele." ”

Mr. Wei was anxious: "Then how can it be done, I have also heard about your castle, you kid is not kind, and you don't send an invitation to my brother when he is happy to move." Well, European castles should also be hung with oil paintings, and Chinese paintings really don't match. When you come back, let's discuss how to publicize it. ”

"Propaganda? What to promote? Yang Ping knew that Mr. Wei wanted him to send "Bayeux Grass Insect Picture" to auction, he was not short of money now, and he didn't want to buy any big items, so he finally found an object that was not illegal no matter how he tossed it, and what kind of card to give.

"Pretending to be confused again, hehe," Mr. Wei took the cigarette from Zhang Shide, held it in front of his nose and smelled it, "This "Bayeux Grass Insect Map" must be handed over to us to operate, I didn't pay attention to it just now and almost fooled you." ”

Yang Ping stopped joking, and grinned: "Mr. Wei, to be honest, I didn't plan to send this painting to auction, so if you see what kind of lot you need, I'll find it for you." ”

Mr. Wei took Zhang Shide's lighter and lit a cigarette: "Alas, I know that you have no desire now, but I really want to see what kind of auction record this painting can make, as for finding a lot according to what I need?" That's how you can make such a joke. ”

Yang Ping laughed, super confident: "Say, don't you know who I am?" Don't brag about what you're not sure about. ”

Mr. Wei also gambled, hehe: "That's good, Mo Demon, Yao Changtianmu teacup, I don't care about the Doucai long-necked bottle, you can find a few things that make people become immortals." ”

"Become an immortal? You're not going to ask me to bring you some big ma's from Europe, are you? That's a dude product. ”

Mr. Wei laughed: "It's just a joke, it means that you don't have such a big tone, I must pick you up when you come back, this painting can't be photographed, it's always okay to tour the exhibition here with me, right?" ”

Yang Ping happily agreed, hung up the phone, and he was still thinking in his heart. Become an immortal? What kind of thing is that? It's almost the same as wanting to die.

Back to the restaurant. Yang Ping paid the bill and absentmindedly followed Abu and Gu Jing to hang out.

Abu and Gu Jing found that he was absent-minded, and one of them pinched one side of his face.

"What are you thinking? And we are not allowed to think about others when we come out. Gu Jing's fingers had a faint onion flavor.

Abu squinted: "Are you homesick, I also want to go back to Yangjin, or let's go back early, these countries in Europe are basically the same everywhere, endless churches, baroque and delicate and cumbersome Rococo." ”

Gu Jing was reluctant to part with Yang Ping. Crying with a sad face: "Sister Abu, what you say doesn't count, you said that you would accompany me for a week, and now it's only been three days." ”

Yang Pinglou glanced at Gu Jing and comforted: "Don't worry, I was thinking about things just now, I can make more money again, the plan remains the same, let's march into Italy along the Mediterranean Sea tonight!" Didn't you have the most obsession with the Blue Army when Abu was in college, let's go check it out. ”

When leaving Madrid. The trio bought a lot of gifts at a large shopping village on the edge of the city. Yang Ping even purchased a set of Don Quixote armor and a heavy sword, which were used by real Western knights. Not that kind of domestic gift model.

It was already the second morning when I returned to France, and I was a little uncomfortable returning from passionate Spain to romantic France, and I didn't have to hold my bag tightly everywhere.

Along the blue coastline of the south of France, stop and enjoy the beautiful scenery for a while. I ate a meal of French oysters in Marseille, and the Marseille fish soup did not stop there, and security here is also a problem.

In Monaco, Abu and Gu Jing purchased some luxury goods for Hailan, Yang Ping came to Europe and went back without some gifts, the blue sea and the rock piles by the sea are very suitable for lovers to grind their ears and temples. Yang Ping took a beautiful woman in one hand and walked casually along the winding mountain road of the Principality of Monaco.

I suddenly found that this sharp turn turned out to be the famous F1 track, and it would be too enjoyable to be able to ride the ADV for a while.

The three of them found a restaurant to have lunch, continued to stroll, and coveted Yang Ping in an open-air parking lot, all kinds of top-level sports cars! It's even more corrupt than Dubai.

Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Maserati, SLSAMG, Bugatti, Porsche, it's embarrassing to say hello to people in a Japanese car.

Yang Ping glanced at the French classical building at the end of the flower bed and smacked his lips: "This is the palace, it's really magnificent." ”

Gu Jing put her hand on the pergola and looked at it: "It doesn't seem to be, well, it seems to be a casino here." ”

Abu nodded: "Yes, Mrs. Luo often came here a few days ago and invited us." ”

"Shall we go in then? It's a bit more upscale than the casinos in Aomen. "Yang Ping is pondering a Mercedes-Benz SL300, but it is a miniature version, which is definitely suitable for Stinky Bao. Isn't Hailan a school that hates stinky treasures? If Stinky Treasure drove this scaled-down Mercedes Roadster to school, it would be ...... I'm about to be ordered to drop out of school.

Gu Jing was not interested in the casino, and pulled Abu to discuss: "Sister Abu, let's go to the palace to see how good the scenery is, and we have to go to Milan at night, what's the point of the casino." ”

Abu thought deeply: "Well, that's it, let's hurry up and go to Milan, the fashion capital, the casino or something is the most boring." ”

Yang Ping himself is not very interested in sports cars, but this car is only half the size of a normal Mercedes-Benz sports car, and all parts are fully scaled down, which is simply the essence of human inspiration.

"It's so beautiful!" He couldn't help but stroke the silver-white convertible Mercedes.

β€œstop!” A slightly hoarse voice came.

Yang Ping turned his head and saw that it was an old foreign man with an angry face, gray hair, red skin, and a black suit that looked very status.

"I'm sorry," Yang Ping apologized in English, "this car is beautiful, is it electric?" ”

The foreign old man was wearing a bow tie and corrected: "First of all, this is a car, of course, it is a gasoline engine, and secondly, this is a gift I give to others, a classic specially designed by Mercedes-Benz designer De Niro, all handmade." I don't want irrelevant people to touch it. ”

Yang Ping understood, this girl looked down on people, he scratched his eyebrows: "Okay, I want to go in and play for a while, are you interested?" Maybe I'll be able to win it back. ”

The foreign old man sneered: "Is it a challenge?" I accept. Hopefully you have so much money to lose. ”

Yang Ping nodded very gentlemanly: "Then I'll wait for you inside." After speaking, he raised his arms, Abu and Gu Jing cooperated to hold him one by one, and Shi Shiran walked towards the casino. (To be continued......) R1292
