Chapter 68: True and False Picture Scroll
Pei Lin excitedly touched his hand on the paper: "My God, this ...... This is Cai Feihuang's ink white book! ”
"Yes, that's right. You can see that there is a trace of white in the strokes of these fonts, which is the standard ink-and-white book! ”
Li Jiancheng also breathed tightly, Cai Feihuang was a famous minister in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and his calligraphy works were rarely handed down, and he was fortunate to see them in the palace when he was young.
"Water, good for all things without fighting, is evil for everyone......" Li Shimin read the handwriting on it in a low voice.
Bogu Zhai is really the number one signboard in the Golden Jade City, and it actually treasures Cai Feihuang's authentic works.
"Boss, how much is this genuine painting, you can make a price!"
The boss smiled: "I have already negotiated with this uncle just now, at least 10,000 taels of gold." ”
10,000 taels of gold, the boss doesn't seem to be falsely reporting the price.
"Okay, I'll have the gold fetched right now." Li Jiancheng immediately decided.
Pei Lin was just about to step out of the door of the secret room, Xia Yu shook his head and said, "Boss, you sold us the works copied by later generations, the price is a bit high, three thousand taels of gold, it can't be higher." ”
"What, you said that this painting was copied by later generations?" The boss had a gloomy face at the moment: "Guest, you're not here to punish me." ”
"Xia Yu, speak responsibly, with the old man's eyes, I have just seen it more than ten times, this is definitely the true work of Cai Feihuang."
"Oh, then the Yu Jue downstairs just now, didn't you recognize what it was?"
Pei Lin lowered his head and did not speak.
The Li brothers also believe that although Xia Yu has a leader in leading troops to fight, his appreciation of antiques, calligraphy and painting is much worse.
Li Jiancheng even mocked: "Xia Yu, I think you said this deliberately in order to show off." ”
Xia Yu didn't argue with Li Jiancheng, picked up the calligraphy and painting, and pointed to the strokes on the folded place on the handwriting: "Have you seen anything?" The direction of the hook could have been more rounded, but the copyist looked stiff, as if his hand had been injured. In the place where the hook is folded, others use one stroke, but he uses two or even three strokes, resulting in heavy ink in each hook, and some of them are spilled. ”
After Xia Yu's reminder, Pei Lian's face was hot, why didn't he notice it just now.
The Li brothers looked at it carefully, and it was really as Xia Yu said, that is to say, this is really the handwriting of the copyist, not the real handwriting.
Several of them were almost deceived.
"A fake word, dare to ask for 10,000 taels of gold, boss, your heart is really black. Even a tael of gold is not wrong. Li Jiancheng said angrily.
"That's it, boss, how can you use fake words to fool us!"
"You have to give us an explanation!"
The boss had a bitter face: "I bought this character for three thousand taels of gold at the time, alas...... I didn't expect to be scammed either. ”
Xia Yu took a sip of tea: "Three thousand taels of gold is not a loss at all, this painting is worth so much money." Because the person who copied it was quite famous, it was the king of the Jin Dynasty. ”
The boss let out a long breath, he didn't lose money, Cai Feihuang was far less famous than Wang Youjun.
Legend has it that Wang Youjun was very fond of Cai Feihuang's calligraphy when he was young.
"Xia Yu, how do you see it?"
Xia Yu sneered lightly: "You must have seen the charm of this character, like a floating cloud, like a swimming dragon, no one who does fake can not come to this kind of charm, do you still need to look at it again?" ”
"Besides, you must all know that Wang Youjun was injured in the wrist during the battle to cross the river! This facsimile must have been the work of that time. ”
In the end, Li Jiancheng bought the copy for 3,100 taels of gold.
Xia Yu bowed his hand to Li Jiancheng and said, "Brother Li, I have put a lot of effort into this calligraphy and painting. I also like to copy calligraphy, can you lend me a night to watch? ”
Li Jiancheng was in a good mood, and gave Xia Yu calligraphy and painting without doubt: "Remember to return it to me tomorrow." ”
Not to mention, if it weren't for Xia Yu this time, he really wouldn't have been able to buy this calligraphy and painting for three thousand one hundred taels of gold.
After Li Jiancheng beat the horse and left, Xia Yu whispered to Su Yuexin: "You touch my hand!" ”
Su Yuexin touched it, only to feel that his palms were full of sweat: "Xia Yu, are you sick?" ”
Pulling Su Yuexin, she quickly ran to her residence, and Xia Yu was excited.
Seeing that there was no one around, Xia Yu slammed the door shut.
"Xia Yu, what are you doing here?"
Xia Yu whispered to Su Yuexin, "I give you a precious gift. ”
With that, he spread the calligraphy and painting on the table, asked Su Yuexin to bring a basin of warm water, and then pressed the edge of the calligraphy and painting with one hand, and inserted the tip of the sword into the paper with the other.
"Xia Yu, what are you doing here?"
Xia Yu immediately gave Su Yuexin a silent gesture and asked her not to speak.
Su Yuexin looked at it, only to see that his hands were trembling because of excitement.
Finally, Xia Yu stopped moving, and the calligraphy and painting were separated into two, and it turned out that the calligraphy and painting were pasted together.
Xia Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead: "As soon as I touched the thickness of this calligraphy and painting, I felt that there was a problem, and it was really as I thought." ”
took out another calligraphy and painting that was separated, Xia Yu almost fainted to the ground, isn't this calligraphy and painting the real "Orchid Pavilion Preface"?
This is something that no one has been able to find for thousands of years, and he didn't expect to be found by him, and his heart roared.
If you can wear it back now, this painting alone can crush the richest man in the world.
"Xianggong, are you alright?" Xia Yu has always been a calm and intelligent person in Su Yuexin's eyes, and he has never seen him so excited.
After calming down, Xia Yu hid the true work of "Orchid Pavilion Preface", hugged Su Yuexin suddenly, and kissed her fiercely on the forehead: "Yuexin, I love you to death." ”
"What a madman!" Su Yuexin knocked Xia Yu's forehead.
The two were fighting, and someone outside the door said, "General Xia, Duke Li invites you to go to the lobby to discuss matters." ”
Xia Yu followed the man to the lobby.
All the generals gathered in the lobby with solemn faces.
"You may be seated!" Li Yuan waved his hand, and all the generals sat down.
"Originally, it was almost the Chinese New Year, and our army captured the entire Xihe County, which is a great thing." Li Yuan got straight to the point and said: "Right now, our army has 50,000 people, and there are countless amounts of grain and grass. The supply of logistics has always been the help of the Su family, and Li has thanked him here. ”
Li Yuan nodded to Xia Yu and continued: "But it is difficult to support 50,000 people with the strength of one family. Do you know what can be done to relieve the logistical pressure on our army? ”
Pei Lin stood up first: "The Pei family in Hedong is willing to help." ”
Li Yuan bowed to Pei Lian, and his urgent brows never stretched.
Li Jiancheng, as one of the main generals, said in a loud voice: "There are many big families in Xihe County, such as the Longshang Confucian family, the Boling Cui family, and the Taiyuan Wang family. ”
