Chapter 125: Tang Yin's True Writings (Second Update)
Wang Yan waved his hand back.
The two attendants opened the lockbox and the large trolley bag, revealing a large bag of shredded paper and foam. Shipping valuables, it's all like this. The attendants carefully took out the "fresh old objects" one by one and placed them on the yellow rosewood desk.
These old objects still have a clear earthy and stale atmosphere.
Great experts like Xiao Fan and Liu Mo can see at a glance that these antiques brought by Wang Yan should be from the tombs of officials in the Ming Dynasty, and they are the things they just talked about during the Ming Wuzong and Ming Shizong periods.
Because Ming Shizong believed in Taoism, to the extent of obsession, many officials during the reign of Sejong also believed in Taoism, and when he was buried, there were a large number of Taoist articles and ritual utensils among the funeral items.
Among the cultural relics that Wang Yan took out with his entourage, there were two gossip bronze mirrors, but the diameter was much larger than the bronze mirror that Xiao Fan had just given to Liu Mo, almost twenty-four or five centimeters.
And a whisk.
Xiao Fan just swept over these things lightly and didn't stretch out his hand.
In the eyes of ordinary cultural relics dealers, these are also good things, and they are a lot of profit as soon as they change hands.
Xiao Fan didn't care, but looked at the young attendant with a thin figure and a sickly face a few more times, and seemed to be more interested in this attendant. The young attendant also seemed to sense that Xiao Fan was looking at him, raised his head, grinned at Xiao Fan, and reached out to wipe his sweat.
It seems that his body is indeed relatively weak, but he doesn't know why such a thin and thin young man was chosen by Wang Yan as a personal follower. And it's a tomb robbery.
Like Xiao Fan, these things that were taken out of the big trolley bag. Liu Mo was not very interested.
To offer treasure in Liu Baye's "Mo Xuan", this is a little worse.
But it seems to be for Wang Yan's sake. Liu Mo picked up a folding fan. The fan was taken out of the lockbox, and although it had just been unearthed, the fan bones were intact and looked new.
Liu Baye opened the folding fan, and his eyes couldn't help but light up.
This folding fan fan painted a landscape, the tone of the brush is simple, the artistic conception is desolate, and a sense of sadness comes to the face. The side of the landscape. Four lines of the inscription poem - Born in the sun and ended, what does it matter if you die and return to the underworld. The yang and the earth are similar, only when they drift in a foreign land.
"It's ...... Tang Yin's real handiwork? ”
Liu Baye carefully looked at the desolate landscape and the four inscription poems on the fan, muttered to himself, saw that Xiao Fan was on the side, and then handed the folding fan over with both hands.
"Yishao, you give an appraisal?"
"Mr. Liu thinks it's genuine, then it must be genuine."
Xiao Fan said with a smile, but he was not polite. Reached out and took the folding fan from Liu Mo's hand. The novelty of this folding fan alone makes it difficult for people to associate it with antiquities from hundreds of years ago, and in the eyes of ordinary cultural relics appraisers, they are afraid that they will be thrown back after just a glance.
100% fake.
But what a vision Liu Mo has. Tang Yin's authentic handwritings, how can they not be identified?
However, after Xiao Fan took the folding fan, his face also showed the same surprised look as Liu Mo. Tang Yin's work. There are treasures in the secret room of the water stopper, from the landscape paintings with few brushstrokes on the fan surface of this folding fan. Regardless of the style of painting, the tone of the brush. Shen Yun is indeed Tang Bohu's authentic work.
Tang Yin, the head of the four great talents of Wuzhong, is very famous, landscape painting, figure painting, landscape master Li Tang, Liu Songnian, and change, painting the mountains and mountains, with a small axe to split for it, majestic and steep, and the brush and ink are fine, the layout is sparse, and the style is beautiful and handsome.
But this does not mean that Tang Yin's landscape paintings are all one style.
The artistic conception of this painting is extremely sad and desolate, which should have been made by Tang Yin in his later years.
Most of the world's understanding of Tang Yin comes from a nonsensical funny movie by a famous Hong Kong comedian - "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance".
Tang Bohu, played by the comedian, is romantic, young and golden, and is a typical "rich and handsome".
But in fact, Tang Yin in real history had a bad fate, not to mention three wives and four concubines, eight wives and so on, the only wife was because she couldn't stand the life of extreme poverty, quarreled with him, and finally left him. Tang Yin could only make a living by selling paintings. Especially in his later years, he was seriously ill and could not paint often, and his life was even more difficult, so he often had to rely on his friend Zhu Yunming and Wen Zhengming to help him get by.
However, the biggest problem with this folding fan is not in this landscape, but in the four lines of poetry.
It was Tang Yin's fateful poem, which he did when he was dying.
It is hard to imagine that a dying person would still have the mood and strength to inscribe a fan, and inscribe his own desperate poem on the fan.
But judging from the penmanship and artistic conception of those four poems, it is really Tang Yin's handwriting.
There is no doubt about the authenticity!
Xiao Fan stretched out his right hand, put it on the fan bone, closed his eyes slightly, and slowly brushed it over, with a solemn expression.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Xiao Fan intently.
Wang Yan had a look of surprise on his face.
Xiao Fan's action, Wang Yan seems to be familiar. I remember that if Liu Mo encounters an antique that is not easy to hold, he will make the same action, not to look at it, but to touch it with his hands, as if he can really feel the "soul" of the antique.
These two are really a bit similar.
"Mr. Liu, it's genuine, but it's ......"
Xiao Fan's right hand slowly brushed the fan, and after a while, his eyes opened and he said.
"But what?"
Before Liu Mo could answer, Wang Yan couldn't help but ask, looking a little worried. The things he brought over today, this folding fan is the most precious, and the experts have identified it as Tang Bohu's authentic handiwork. If it is not recognized by Liu Mo, this business will be ruined. The frustration of digging things out of the graves of the ancients without being able to sell them for a good price can be imagined.
Now it seems that this "Xiao Yishao" seems to have some doubts about this folding fan.
"Brother Wang, who is the owner of this fan?"
Xiao Fan didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
Wang Yan shook his head again and again and said, "Xiao Yishao, I'm sorry, I really don't know this, I only know that it is a big official of the Ming Dynasty." But there was no tombstone, from the funerary goods. I don't see anything famous...... Truth be told, this is the case. It's the first time I've encountered it. It seems that the owner of this tomb deliberately wanted to hide his identity. ”
"Where?"
Xiao Fan asked again.
"This ......"
Wang Yan suddenly showed a look of embarrassment and glanced at Liu Mo.
Usually the rules of their profession are only to ask whether the object is true or false, not the way it came from. Tomb robbers, in particular, are less likely to reveal their whereabouts easily. If it weren't for Liu Baye's great reputation in the capital's antique industry, there would never have been an accident with Liu Baye, and Wang Yan would not have taken out these objects in front of others.
Xiao Fan's question was really a big taboo for them.
hindered Liu Baye's face. Wang Yan is not good at seizures, but his face naturally does not look so good.
Liu Mo said lightly: "Brother Wang, if you ask you anything, you will answer anything." ”
It sounds mundane, but the threat is very clear. Obviously, if Wang Yan hesitates in front of "Xiao Yishao", he is afraid that he will be in big trouble.
Liu Baye doesn't want to provoke, even people who can't be provoked, you Wang Yan is a tomb robber. It's better not to try to offend him.
Wang Yan's face changed, and he glanced at the thin and sick-looking attendant, and then became quite tough, and said coldly: "I'm sorry." Xiao Yishao, Liu Baye, this is the rule of our industry. I can't break my rules! ”
Saying it is a hand.
Wang Yan's attitude suddenly became tough, a little unexpected. What's even more unexpected is that Liu Baye's face actually changed slightly. did not pretend to be angry and scolded Wang Yan, but looked at Xiao Fan, and also showed a look of embarrassment.
Xiao Fan smiled and said to Wang Yan: "Brother Wang, it doesn't matter if you don't say it, I don't have any malicious intent." Besides, you can't do this, and I won't force you. ”
Wang Yan stood up suddenly, full of momentum.
He was more than one meter nine tall, extremely burly, standing there, almost the size of two Xiao Fan, his eyes were round, looking directly at Xiao Fan, his face was full of anger.
"Xiao Yishao, what do you mean by this?"
The atmosphere of "Mo Xuan" suddenly became extremely tense.
Liu Mo's face sank, he snorted softly, his eyes narrowed, as if he didn't expect things to suddenly evolve like this.
Wang Yan was full of color, in Liu Mo's eyes, it was nothing. Don't look at Wang Yan is tall and burly, and his courage is outstanding, Liu Baye doesn't care at all. Like Wang Yan, Liu Baye can cook two or three at will.
Liu Baye's famous master moves Beijing, how can he be a wasted person!
The key is that the one standing behind Wang Yan is too difficult to mess with, even if he compares with Xiao Fan, Liu Mo is not a very good choice. Otherwise, with a tomb robber like Wang Yan, he could appear in "Mo Xuan" and enjoy a certain VIP treatment.
Xiao Fan was still smiling, and he didn't look at the aggressive Wang Yan, his eyes slowly fell on the face of the thin and thin young follower, and said indifferently: "This gentleman has a big name, and he has been pretending to be for so long, he's tired, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces changed drastically.
Wang Yan's huge body shook slightly, his fists clenched, and he naturally stopped in front of the thin young man, glaring at Xiao Fan angrily.
The corners of Liu Mo's mouth flashed with a smile, and his face became a little lighter.
Xiao Yishao is Xiao Yishao, the accuracy of this person's vision is indeed admirable.
Song Kun thought he was pretending to be much like him.
I want to see how this Song Kun, who likes to pretend to be forced when he has nothing to do, how to deal with Xiao Fan.
"Wang Yan, step aside."
The next moment, the thin young attendant slowly straightened up, and the original humble and cautious expression disappeared from him, replaced by a faint, seemingly nonexistent smile, and his expression was quite cynical.
"Yes!"
The giant man Wang Yan seemed to have a lot of respect for this thin follower, and as soon as he bowed when he heard this, he immediately stepped aside and put on a retinue of jiashi.
Song Kun arched his fist at Xiao Fan, and said indifferently: "Xiao Yishao, my name is Song Kun." In our line of work, my head is pinned to the waistband of my trousers, so I have to be careful, so that Yishao and the eighth master can laugh. (To be continued......)
