Chapter 163: Picture Scroll
No matter how much undercurrent is surging in this Jubao Zhai tonight, the right thing to do is still to be done.
As most of the lights in Jubaozhai slowly went out, people subconsciously held their breath in the darkness, and their eyes fell through the darkness to the only few places in front of them where the candle flame was flickering.
The shopkeepers of Jubao Zhai are all dressed in short clothes, standing with arms crossed, and the shopkeeper is accompanied by several shopkeepers, carefully holding a cylinder axle and coming over. Lanterns and candles illuminate his figure, as well as the shaft in his hand.
In fact, this is the protagonist of tonight, but Chen Bogu and the ministers of the East Palace who appeared before are a bit noisy no matter how you look at it.
Li Xinchen looked around with interest, although this era does not have the concept of auctions in later generations, and this time it is mainly for appreciation, but at least in the creation of the atmosphere, it is not inferior to later generations.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is really brilliant that so many guests can come to Xiaobao Zhai today!" The shopkeeper of Jubao Zhai said loudly that he can be in charge of Jubao Zhai, one of the important assets of the Xu family, and this person naturally has some ability.
There was silence in the dark, after all, most of the people present were ministers of the imperial court and magnates in the capital, so it was naturally impossible to put down their identities and cheer loudly. And the shopkeeper of Jubao Zhai obviously had already expected this situation, and said unhurriedly: "Recently, Jubao Zhai has newly obtained the Han Dynasty picture scroll, which is precious, and Jubao Zhai knows that it should not hide its secrets, so it is necessary to show you the beauty of this Han painting." ”
There are few surviving scrolls in the later generations, firstly, because the papermaking technology of the Han Dynasty has just been improved, and there is not much paper that can be used, and there are even fewer that can be used to make paintings. Second, it is also because of the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms and the Jin Dynasty, there have been constant wars, this kind of picture scroll is different from bronze, it is difficult to preserve, even if it is only three hundred years now, the Han Dynasty picture scroll has been very few.
It is precisely because of this that when it was learned that Jubao Zhai actually obtained the picture scroll of the Han Dynasty, the characters with faces in Jiankang Mansion couldn't sit still, otherwise there would not be such a lively situation today.
"Shopkeeper, is this scroll going to be privately stored in the future?" I don't know who asked, and suddenly there were whispers in the darkness. Although I haven't seen this Han painting yet, everyone knows the preciousness of this scroll, so they are hopeful that they will be able to completely take it for themselves after seeing it.
So this sentence is knocking on the hearts of most people.
The shopkeeper instructed the shopkeeper to open the shaft, and said loudly: "I Jubao Zhai He De how can I keep this painting privately, so naturally I should hand over this painting to the person who is most attentive to protect it,"
Hearing this, Li Xinchen couldn't help but smile lightly, being able to say that the highest bid is the most intentional to protect it, this shopkeeper's tongue skills are not bad.
And with the shopkeeper taking a step back, the whole picture scroll slowly unfolded, painting a picture of a lady, the lady on the picture is graceful, luxuriously dressed, although it is slightly sideways, but its beauty is difficult to hide at all, this sideways action is to add a bit of mystery and the shyness of the protagonist himself, so that the whole picture scroll appears more and more aura.
"What a picture of a lady!" Shen Jungao couldn't help but praise in a low voice, "This painting is vivid, and the lady's luxurious posture and gentle posture are vividly displayed on the paper. ”
"It seems that this time Jubao Zhai really picked up the baby." Fu Wei's eyes also lit up, and his attention was attracted by this "Lady Picture" for a while, "Regardless of whether it is true or not, even if this painting is painted now, it is enough to be admired." ”
There are also many discussions around, but most of them are admiration, which shows that this "Lady Picture" is worthy of such a big scene in Jubaozhai.
"Dare to ask where did Jubao Zhai get this painting?" A voice rang out in the darkness, followed by a chorus of echoes.
Such a "Lady Picture" is not easy to get, so many people want to know where Jubao Zhai got such a treasure from.
It stands to reason that the source of a shop's goods is also a trade secret, but the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai was not ambiguous this time, and said with a smile:
"This picture scroll is my Ju Bao Zhai sent out of the people from Huainan Liang County to collect, originally this picture scroll and a lot of ordinary household goods together to be sold together, just by passing by my Ju Bao Zhai appraiser and shop guy to see, for a time shocked by the heavens, then invited this painting back."
After a pause, the shopkeeper's pretense said mysteriously: "As for why this painting appears in Huainan Liang County, please look here." ”
The shopkeeper's hand pointed upward, and there was a red seal in the corner of the scroll, as we all know, this often represents the author of the scroll or the former collector, and the color of this square seal is quite bright, compared to the color of the painting itself is a little dull, obviously not the same era as the painting, it should be the seal of the later collector.
"All of you here are knowledgeable, please stand in front of you and see if this chapter is true or false." The shopkeeper made a gesture of please, and the people he was referring to were obviously already gearing up and impatient.
At this time, Li Xinchen realized that Shen Jungao no longer knew when he was standing in the front. But after thinking about it, with his identity, as long as he is an acquaintance, he will definitely not compete with him.
What's more, Shen Jungao himself is proficient in collecting, and he has the right to speak about this scroll seal and the like, and Shen Jungao's style is there, no one will believe that he will give Jubao Zhai a trust.
Seeing that Shen Jungao was also there, the few people in front of them all subconsciously got out of the way and made a gesture of please, they still trusted Shen Jungao.
"This seal······ It's Hongnong Yang Su! Shen Jungao just glanced at it, and then exclaimed, "The 'Qin King Tibetan Seal' written on it is Yang Yu's private seal." I had seen a landscape painting of the Jin Dynasty before, and I had also seen this seal on it. ”
The surrounding crowd suddenly fell silent, and their fiery eyes fell on the scroll. They all know who Yang Yu is.
Yang Yu was born in Hongnong Yang, the word Zunyan, the small character Qin Wang, and was the son of Sikong Yang Jin of the Northern Wei Dynasty. And it turns out that he is also worthy of his rather domineering little print. When Yang Su was young, Hongnong Yang offended Er Zhurong because of the problem of standing in line, which led to the destruction of the family, and only Yang Su and his three younger siblings escaped by luck.
When everyone thought that Hongnong Yang's family had become a thing of the past, Yang Su assisted Gao Huan to dominate with his own strength, thus making Hongnong Yang's family come out of the Jedi and become a first-class family in the north again.
