In the 2009 autumn auction, a total of 15 Zheng Banqiao paintings were auctioned by Guardian, Zhongmao Shengjia, Kuang Shi and Huachen, and the average price per square foot was more than doubled compared with the spring auction, reaching 240,000 yuan.

Among them, in the 2009 autumn auction of "Yang and Zhou Painting School", Zheng Banqiao's "Bamboo and Stone Picture" painted in 1764 was estimated at 7 million to 9 million yuan, and finally sold for 15.12 million yuan, winning the first place.

Since 2000, the price of Zheng Banqiao's works has been on the rise, and the average price per square foot has increased from 37,000 yuan to 240,000 yuan, an increase of about 6 times.

"Although the market price of this painting is relatively high, it is really too high to sell for five million now." Second Uncle Wu was a little disappointed and withdrew his gaze from the painting, it seemed that he had given up.

"Five million is too high." Han Peacock smiled and said, he could only give up clearly, otherwise Wei Changqing would not be able to bargain.

Only Wu Dong's father and son did not express their position in the field, seeing that everyone was looking at them, Wu Dong wanted to say something, but was stopped by Uncle Wu: "The price of five million is indeed high, this time we come over, and we still need to buy a batch of goods, so the funds are not so sufficient." ”

Seeing that several members of the Wu family had given up, Uncle Li looked at Wei Changqing: "Young man, you are too expensive?" ”

Wei Changqing said with a smile: "Uncle Li, if this price can be sold, I don't think I will wait until now, so." If Uncle Li can give some discounts, I will accept them. ”

Uncle Li looked at the paintings on the table fixedly, and finally sighed and said: "Five million is indeed not expensive, you must know that I have found someone to appraise it, not to mention calligraphy and painting, whether it is paper or painting scrolls." are all in line with the era in which Zheng Banqiao lived. ”

Seeing that Wei Changqing was unmoved, Uncle Li sighed again and said, "That's it!" Four and a half million, I let 500,000, this is the lowest price. ”

Wei Changqing opened his mouth and said: "Four million, if Uncle Li really has the sincerity to transfer, my price is definitely not low, after all, we are all experts, and I have a great risk at this price." ”

I thought about it for a while. Uncle Li said in a trance: "Okay! Four million is four million, after all, I still missed it. ”

Next, Wei Changqing signed a simple transfer agreement with Uncle Li, transferred the account, and put away the scroll.

Back at the place where they lived, Wei Changqing's uncle Zhao Dongke hurriedly said: "Changqing, those people from the Wu family just now were obviously trusted, why did you buy this painting at such a high price?" ”

"Huh?" Huang Shan looked at Zhao Dongke in surprise.

Wei Changqing smiled and said, "Brother Han can also see it, right?" ”

Han Peacock nodded and said, "I can see it." However, I really don't know what their purpose is? Is it simply selling this fake? ”

"And the Buddha statue." Huang Shan said.

Wei Changqing also asked curiously, "Brother Han." There's something inside that Buddha statue, so why don't you buy it? ”

Han Peacock smiled: "Because I know that the things inside the Buddha statue are not valuable." ”

"How is that possible? I could see very clearly, it was a very transparent glass emerald bracelet, and two rubies as big as pigeon eggs, how could it not be valuable? Wei Changqing didn't believe it.

Han Peacock glanced at Wei Changqing, this kid was indeed able to see the inside of the Buddha statue. But he couldn't tell the quality of the contents.

Han Peacock is the opposite, although he can't clearly see the things inside, he can clearly perceive the texture of the things inside.

So Han Peacock said: "Because that bracelet is a glass product, because there are obvious bubbles in it, this situation occurs." It can only be made of glass, so even if the color reaches the emerald level, it is not worth much.

And those two rubies, which are real gems, but they're heat-treated, and I can't be mistaken, so they're worthless. ”

After speaking, Han Peacock's eyes fell on Wei Changqing's hand, and his painting, Han Peacock also suspected that there was a trap, but Han Peacock's perception of calligraphy and painting was far worse than Wei Changqing's.

This kind of picture-in-picture, hesitating to double calligraphy and painting inside and outside, Han Peacock's perception is not so delicate, so he can't clearly see the hidden paintings inside, so he can't be sure that the inside is really a treasure, so he didn't pay a high price to compete with Wei Changqing.

"Brother Han, don't hit me, is this also a trap?" Wei Changqing looked at the painting in his hand, and his confidence was not so sufficient.

"Just now, even I saw that the Wu family was trusted, and you still had to pay a high price, but fortunately, your appraisal of calligraphy and painting is okay, this kind of thing at a glance should not be deceived." Zhaodong was a little lucky.

"At a glance?" Han Peacock and Wei Changqing are all a little wrong.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Dongke looked at their expressions and asked.

Wei Changqing's face was a little ugly and said, "Could it be that they are specifically cheating people like us?" ”

Han Peacock smiled bitterly: "Maybe it's really like this, you must know that the Buddha statue just now, although it looks inconspicuous on the outside, they are determined to ask for a high price, and this painting is also the case." ”

By this time, Han Peacock had already figured out the deception of those people.

"I'll go and see if the Li family is still there, if the building is empty, it means it's a liar." After Huang Shan finished speaking, he hurriedly walked out of Maimaiti's house.

"Let's take a look at this painting first! This kind of unmasking is not so easy to deal with, originally I wanted to find a master to help, but now it seems that I can only do it myself, if it is really a trap, it is not a pity to destroy it. Wei Changqing said.

Zhao Dongke's expression was obviously stunned, the meaning of this unveiling of the painting, that is, it refers to "painting in a picture", and then a layer of drawing paper is mounted on the painting, but the purpose of this is usually to hide and cover up the "real painting", could this be a real painting?

But look at the painting again. The thickness is not enough at all, if this is a genuine product covered by a "picture-in-picture", then the person who framed the painting is a master!

No matter how you look at this picture of caryophyllus, it doesn't look like it has been reframed, Zhao Dongke hurriedly opened it, and he said while moving: "I think this painting is fine!" ”

"It's this picture, I think there's another mystery. Uncle, when you touch this paper, is it a little thick? Wei Changqing said.

Zhao Dongke frowned and touched the paper, he really couldn't feel it, and then he looked at it, it seemed that there was indeed a little, but it was really not obvious.

So he frowned and said, "You think this is a picture-in-picture?" But although the paper felt a little thick to the touch, the thickness was really not noticeable, unless the person covering it up was a master. But isn't it too much to take for granted that you can conclude based on the thickness of the paper? ”

Wei Changqing explained with a smile: "Of course this is impossible, this is just a little difference that I felt after I found a clue, uncle, look at this place where there is water." ”

Zhao Dongke looked at the place he pointed, and when he first saw it, he felt that there was no difference, and when he got closer, he took a closer look. It felt like there was a hint of ink, and then I looked closely. The ink was supposed to be coming out of the paper, and the discovery immediately made him excited.

If they are not mistaken, it is very likely that there is another work hidden in this painting, and it will be covered up with such a calligraphy and painting comparable to Zheng Banqiao's authentic handwriting, and the disguised work must be even more precious.

Zhao Dongke said excitedly: "Okay." You really don't have the eyesight to say, just a little bit of color stunned for you to see! ”

He didn't look happy at all when he saw Wei Changqing, and said, "Okay, don't be modest, the key now is to uncover the painting." But your uncle and I really don't have this ability, it seems that ah, it's better to wait until I return to the capital, I really know a framing master, he studied framing for a long time when he was young, and the framing level is definitely at the master level. ”

Wei Changqing sighed in his heart while opening the painting, he had always seen his uncle look stable before, but he didn't expect him to have such a side, but Han Peacock was not optimistic, so he didn't have much expectations for this painting.

After the caryophyllum was displayed in front of everyone, Zhao Dongke stepped forward to observe it carefully, at this time he was not in a hurry, first browsed the whole painting carefully, and then focused on the place where the water was seen, and carefully touched the paper.

After reading the whole painting, Zhao Dongke said with some admiration: "The person who framed the painting is very exquisite, and he should be a master-level figure." ”

This painting is framed flat and soft, with clean and elegant pigments, simple and generous, harmonious and unified, the binding is close, the old is perfect, the mounting is exquisite, and it is an authentic Beijing mounting.

Beijing mounting is one of the main schools of China's mounting paintings, popular in the northern region with the capital as the center, the decoration generally tends to be noble and gorgeous, the texture is heavy, the brocade forging is the edge, the multi-color silk is commonly used, the exterior decoration is shocking, and the thick dress is the feature.

Beijing mounting is directly influenced by the Su mounting, Beijing mounting because of the influence of the court, its mounting is characterized by magnificent colors, heavy mounting, giving people a sense of nobility and gorgeousness.

The Peking and Su mounting, one in the north and one in the south, have become the two most representative genres, and they still occupy a dominant position today.

Now that this work is in Beijing, will Wei Changqing not be able to reveal the painting in it?

There is no need to worry about this, because Wei Changqing's heart is already a little cold, this is because he saw Han Peacock's face showing an expression of sudden realization.

"Brother Han, do you know what's going on?" Wei Changqing involuntarily stopped the movement of his hand and asked.

Han Peacock nodded and said, "I think I should know what's going on, I really can't let you uncover this painting casually now." ”

"Huh?" Wei Changqing's eyes lit up: "Could it be that what is hidden in this painting is the real thing?" (A pie-in-the-sky event, cool phones are waiting for you!)
