Uncle Li thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, just do as you say." ”

Yu Ruyi was sold, and then, the bucket color bowl was unexpectedly taken away by Second Uncle Wu at a price of 650,000 yuan, and everyone was happy for a while.

At this time, Harvey said to Uncle Li: "Old Li, your collection for so many years, are there any good treasures for us to open our eyes?" ”

Uncle Li smiled unconsciously: "I'm really embarrassed, you guys, there are a few fine pieces, I have given them to my friends." ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said: "But if you want to talk about the objects worth seeing, I have another one, but I just invited a few masters to palm, but there is some controversy, do you still want to see it?" ”

As soon as Uncle Li said this, everyone's curiosity was hung up, and they all said that they wanted to open their eyes.

After about five minutes, Uncle Li walked out with a scroll of paintings, needless to say, this is an ancient painting.

Sure enough, after Uncle Li carefully opened the painting scroll, this is indeed an ancient painting, the scroll is one meter horizontal, about thirty centimeters vertical, the pale yellow shaft, and the pulp mouth of the shaft tube look a little old.

Han Peacock looked at the ancient painting, and understood very well that he would naturally not be wrong with his vision, the shaft and pulp of this painting were still good, it should be an old piece of the Qing Dynasty, but the painting was not good.

Of course, it is only with his vision and insight that he can tell that if it is an ordinary person, this painting still looks very good, simple and ancient, but Han Peacock can see that this is just a fake painting!

Zheng Banqiao's bamboo and stone drawings are very famous, so it is certain that such a painting will be preserved here.

Zheng Banqiao is a representative painter of the "Eight Monsters of Yangzhou". When he was young, he was smart and studious, especially loved calligraphy and painting, and had the reputation of poetry, calligraphy and painting "three uniques", and was good at painting orchid, bamboo, stone, pine, chrysanthemum, etc., and the orchid bamboo was the most famous.

"Bamboo and Stone Drawing" is a bamboo in the courtyard painted by Zheng Xie when he was 62 years old, with thin stone walls. Mainly based on white strokes, outlined in the center, and the hard and stiff stone is outlined with a thin and hard long folded belt, which is extremely varied and full of charm.

There are two or three branches of vigorous and upright new fence bamboo in front of the stone, there are echoes and responses, and the painter of the whole picture writes in the concise painting method of "redundant and thin".

The whole picture is simple and bright, and the bamboo is clear and beautiful. The momentum is handsome, the wind god is solemn, and there is a proud and unstoppable generality.

Zheng Banqiao painted bamboo, with "simple, thin" as the top, this picture outlines the abrupt mountain stone with a simple and vigorous brushstroke, and slightly applies a small axe to crumble at the fold of the whole hard and thin stone, and the state of the mountain is suddenly out; The bamboo poles are thin and thin, but they are not weak. The bamboo leaves are few and thick, and there is no lack of verdant and rich; A pole repairs the bamboo to stand on the sky. Other bamboos are staggered and mixed, virtual and real, shade, high and low, far and near echo each other, and there is a kind of arrogance in the fun and brilliance of the title.

The more Zheng Banqiao reached his later years, the more his calligraphy became unique, free, and vigorous.

The inscription cloud on the painting: "In the past, the Dongpo monks made ancient wood, bamboo and stone, and used dead trees without bamboo, which was gloomy and colorless." The rest of the bamboo is made of stone, and it is not taken from dead wood; Intended to paint bamboo, then the bamboo is mainly supplemented by stone, and now the stone is larger than the bamboo more than the bamboo, and out of the extraordinary; Don't mud ancient methods, don't cling to your own opinions. It's just ...... alive."

From this inscription, it can be seen that Zheng Banqiao's creative thoughts: first of all, painting does not fall into the trap of predecessors, can not only follow the ancients, eat the ancients, advocate "learn its meaning but not its traces", "but the Song and Yuan Dynasty are in the rhyme, why do you need to paint gourds in the same way".

The second is that the creation should not abide by the old law, do not be afraid of going out of line, and pursue new expressions.

The second is that creation lies in not being superstitious about ancient laws, not being stubborn, and being a "living" word.

To be able to achieve this kind of Cheng dù definitely belongs to the level of the Great Grandmaster, and this painting, although it is not bad, is really not at the level of the Great Grandmaster.

Now this painting is controversial, but this painting also has its pride, this painting, the charm is far away, the landscape is beautiful, there is the charm of "the mountain light is in the palm, the clouds are full of clothes", it is also a rare masterpiece.

"Li Lao, I found this painting by myself?" After reading it, Han Peacock asked.

Uncle Li looked at Han Peacock: "It is indeed a treasure I found, although many of my old friends say that they can't see it accurately, but I still think it is a treasure." ”

"Good drawing." Han Peacock didn't know what to say.

Uncle Li was very open-minded, and he said with a smile: "What I got back then was relatively easy, even if I could really prove that this was a fake, it was nothing." ”

Saying that, Uncle Li talked about how he picked up the leak back then.

When he came across this painting, it was in an antique shop in the capital, and the owner of the painting went to the antique shop to sell paintings, and he happened to meet him.

When he entered the door, he heard the owner of the antique shop say, "Sir, you have this painting, hehe, let's take a look elsewhere......

Usually in antique shops, pawnshops and other places, the master of the palm of the hand, even if the object brought by the guest is fake, he will not understand that the thing is fake, this is basically a rule, and the words are basically the same, "You better go to another house to take a look!" ”

The meaning of this statement naturally indicates that this thing is worthless, or that it is fake, but it is not said.

The man was immediately disappointed, and said as if he would never believe it, "You...... You really don't want to? My grandfather once said that this is the heirloom of our family, really, it is handed down by our ancestors, you ...... The price can be ...... Can you negotiate......"

The boss spread his hands again: "I'm sorry, sir, you better go to another house to talk!" ”

"Wait!" At this time, after seeing the content of the painting clearly, Uncle Li was sure that the boss didn't want to say it, and then he stood up and stopped it.

"Boss, this is a guest in your store, this is your business, so I can't open my mouth, do you really want to?"

Uncle Li's words made the boss stunned, and several guys next to him were stunned, they must have believed in the boss's eyesight, so this situation was the first time they had encountered it.

I think that Uncle Li was very majestic at that time, so when it comes to this, Uncle Li is smiling and not seeing his eyes, and he is very excited when he looks at it.

In the line of playing collection, there are many rules, in which store, the entry or exit of customers, can only be decided by this store, and others cannot steal business.

Or on the side of the road, at the stall, as long as someone is talking first, no one else can go up to grab the business, so they can only wait for the previous person to negotiate, or he will buy it from him after the negotiation is completed.

Uncle Li asked the boss, that is, according to the rules, this is in his shop, this business is theirs, if they are sure not to, then he can do it.

This boss knows Uncle Li, otherwise, Uncle Li would not have collected things in his store, even if the boss didn't want things, he couldn't collect them here.

So the boss was very strange: "Xiao Li, you ...... Do you want this painting? This painting is clearly ......."

After a pause, the boss still swallowed the latter words, and it is estimated that as long as Uncle Li is not stupid, he will understand.

But Uncle Li didn't seem to understand, and said with a smile: "Even if I'm a vassal of elegance!" I really want to buy such a painting and hang it to cultivate my sentiments,...... Sir, how much does this painting cost? How much does it cost to sell? ”

When the man saw that the boss didn't want it, his heart was already cold, these antique shops are almost the same, what one doesn't want, others probably won't want it, it must be that his own things are not valuable, although they are handed down from the ancestors, but the ancestral things are not necessarily worth it, right?

Stunned, the man said, "Boss, do you want it?" …… This one...... You...... How much can you give? ”

After saying a few words, I was still a little hesitant, and when I came out, I still thought in my heart that this ancestral thing would be sold for at least 180,000 yuan, but this hit the boss on the antique street for a while, and his confidence was gone, so he was stunned for a while before he said it intermittently.

Uncle Li didn't hesitate, he stretched out his hand and took out his last and all of his property in his pocket: five thousand yuan in cash, put it on the table, and said lightly to the man: "I only have five thousand yuan, you decide for yourself, if you want to sell it, you take the five thousand yuan, and keep the painting, if the five thousand yuan is not sold, then you can take the painting and leave, and I have no money!" ”

"This ...... Can you give it a little higher? ”

The man had already grabbed the money on the table with both hands, but his mouth was saying, "This is a family heirloom left by my ancestors, is your price a little lower......

Uncle Li said lightly: "If you are too low, then forget it, you should take a look elsewhere!" As he spoke, he reached out to get his money back.

The man was in a hurry, quickly took the five thousand yuan into his hand, and then said, "Okay, good, five thousand is five thousand, I sold it!" ”

Uncle Li smiled faintly and said, "Well, let's sign a sales contract, and there happen to be so many witnesses!" ”

It was a very simple procedure, Uncle Li took a pen and paper, wrote a sales contract, signed it himself, and then asked the man to sign it, and then asked the owner of the antique shop to be a witness.

The man signed, looked at the stack of hundred-yuan bills on the table, his eyes were hot, and he couldn't help but put the painting in front of Uncle Li, and then grabbed the money and ran away in a hurry.

"The man who sold the painting originally wanted to sell it for a lot of money, but after seeing the attitude of the boss and knowing that his painting might not be worth much, he was very disappointed.

Although the price of 5,000 yuan was too far from his expectations, it was better than nothing, and at that time, the top of 5,000 yuan was now used for 500,000 yuan, so he sold it to me very happily. After saying that, Uncle Li was very proud.

At this time, all the people in the room had already seen the painting, and Uncle Wu said: "The painting is really good, but it's not Zheng Banqiao's, I really can't see it." (To be continued......)
