"How much do you still have to do with us? Who is his brother? ”

Shen Lang and Xue Nan heard the second half of my meaningful words, and they all leaned their heads over, wanting to know who the person in my mouth was.

And Ling Xuan was unmoved, just a smile curled up at the corner of his mouth, it seemed that with his knowledge, he already knew who I was talking about.

"This person is a member of the Tang Dynasty, and the official is the right minister. Good at painting Taoism, figures, landscapes, saddle horses, especially known for Taoist figure paintings, the existing "step diagram", "ancient emperor map" and so on are circulated in the world, the people of the time praised its Danqing wonderful hand, known as "Danqing deification" and for the world to take the rule. ”

I said slowly as if I were reciting it.

"Why does it sound so familiar, Brother Chuan, have you talked about this person somewhere?"

Shen Lang is still so brainless, and he still hasn't figured out who I'm talking about.

"Stupid to you, didn't Han Chuan say this when he saw the ancient painting for the first time, I didn't expect that this person's younger brother was Yan Liben, and there was such an excellent younger brother standing in front of him, no wonder I had never heard of his name."

Xue Nan is not as heartless as Shen Lang, as soon as I spoke, she knew who the person in my mouth was.

"In fact, Yan Lide's attainments in architecture are too high, causing people to ignore his achievements in painting, from this "Princess Wencheng descending picture" can be seen, the lines are vigorous and powerful, the picture is lifelike, the colors are gorgeous but not conventional, the brushstrokes are delicate, the characters are meticulous, and they are not inferior to the masterpieces of Wu Daozi Yan Liben and others."

I admired Yan Lide's lot in the stands, and I was quite touched and talked eloquently.

As he was talking, the sound of bidding suddenly came from behind him.

"Two hundred thousand."

The audience was in an uproar, and they couldn't believe that such a painting with a starting price of 50,000 yuan could be auctioned at such a sky-high price.

Even if I think in my heart that Yan Lide's way of Danqing is unfathomable, I know that the antique industry should pay attention to historical records and cultural heritage, whether the same thing is from the hand of Yan Lide or from the hand of Yan Liben, the price is very different, and this painting will not be auctioned at such a price normally.

The auction went on, but the next lot didn't catch my interest, and I couldn't help but look back and wonder who had spent a lot of money on Yan Lide's "Princess Wencheng's Descent".

I saw that the person who took the painting was an old man with crane hair and a childish face, who looked too old, with white hair but strong spirits, saw me look back, and said with an appreciative eye behind me.

"This little friend is young, I didn't expect to study the way of Danqing so thoroughly, I was hesitating to take this painting into the bag, and I made a decision after listening to what Xiaoyou said, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and it is not good to accept the old ones."

Perhaps it was because I was too excited and loud just now, so that the old man heard my opinion on Yan Lide's painting skills, and it happened that what I said strengthened the old man's already hesitant thoughts, so the old man made this decision.

"The old man praises falsely, the world often thinks that the work of the famous artist is good, but I don't know that there are a few amazing and brilliant people in the past dynasties, although the reputation is not obvious, but when it comes to artistic value, and the famous artist does not let it go."

I smiled slightly, and my words were filled with the satisfaction of being approved.

"The world only knows that Yan Li's Danqing is deified and taken by the world, but few people know that Yan Lide's Danqing skills are not actually under his brother, but he is only good at architecture and is ignored by the world. Xiaoyou is young but has such a keen eye, and he admires him. ”

I saw the irrepressible appreciation on the old man's face, and he kept praising me.

"Don't praise me, old man, these are what I read from books, and if you let me use a pen to paint, I don't know anything."

I modestly replied to the old man, happy in my heart, but not showing anything on my face.

The old man seemed to be talking up, and turned from the seat behind me to sit next to me, and after sitting down, he suddenly saw Ling Xuan beside me who did not speak, and his expression was thoughtful.

"I said how Xiaoyou has such insight at a young age, it turned out to be the person next to the master of Lingyun Pavilion, I have heard countless treasures in Lingyun Pavilion for a long time, and the people in the pavilion are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, it seems that what he said is true."

It seemed that the old man should have recognized Ling Xuan, but he didn't expect this guy to be really famous outside.

"Elder Yan, don't make fun of me, this little brother is not from my Lingyun Pavilion, but someone my eldest brother fancies."

Ling Xuan smiled slightly, his expression was still his usual calmness, listening to his tone, he seemed to know the old man in front of him.

"Hahaha, today is really worth the trip, not only harvested Yan Gong Mobao but also met two wonderful people, but unfortunately he is old, if he is a few years younger, he really wants to be with the two little brothers without getting drunk and not returning."

Yan Lao laughed loudly, his voice was hearty, but he didn't notice Xue Nan and Shen Lang beside me between his words.

The two of them didn't care, anyway, they were not interested in antiques, and no one paid attention to them, so they closed their eyes and recuperated.

"Since Elder Yan is so elegant, you might as well have time to come to Lingyun Pavilion to talk about it, replace wine with tea, and wait for Elder Yan in the pavilion."

Although Ling Xuan was playing in the world, it could be seen that he was also an unsociable person, and for some reason he actually issued such an invitation to this old man.

Unconsciously, the auction was over, Yan Lao smiled and called out to the bodyguards on the side, signaling Ling Xuan and I to leave, and the two of us hurriedly returned the salute and watched Yan Lao leave.

Ling Xuan didn't plan to leave this Shangshan Xuan, motioned for us to follow, and actually went up to the third floor, not knowing which room he was looking for.

"It's not like you, it's not like you, you actually take the initiative to invite others, I thought you didn't care about anyone you saw?"

I looked at Ling Xuan playfully, wondering why he had invited Elder Yan to visit Lingyun Pavilion.

Ling Xuan looked at me and stopped, his gaze very interesting.

"When I returned to Lingyun Pavilion, I saw a magpie hovering in the tree, and my heart seemed to be moved, so before I went out, I made a divination for you and Shen Lang."

About the art of numerology, I am also a little attained, in the early years of laughter for friends and classmates tried to divinate a few hexagrams, actually one by one, and then was accidentally discovered by my father, severely stopped me, since then although there is still research, but has not been a divination.

"Brother Xuan, you still have this ability, can you go to the overpass to set up a stall and tell your fortune if you really have nothing to do in the future?"

Shen Lang didn't seem to expect that Ling Xuan, who had always regarded himself as a master, would still have such a ability, and joked with him.

"Whether it's Zhou Yi Liuyao or King Wen's hexagram plum blossom Yi Shu, I know a little bit about it, I don't know which hexagram you are divining for the two of us?"

Ignoring Shen Lang's playfulness, I looked at Ling Xuan curiously, as the so-called doctor does not heal himself, although I have also studied the art of numerology, I have never calculated for myself, and I don't know what Ling Xuan calculated for a while.

"You are the mountain thunder hexagram, and he is the wind and earth view hexagram."

He told me simply and directly, without saying a word.

"Mountain Thunder Yi Hexagram, King Wen Hexagram Sixty-third Hexagram, Wind and Earth View Hexagram, King Wen Hexagram Fifth Hexagram ......"

"What are you two gods talking about, none of them can understand a word."

Shen Lang whispered on the side, as if complaining that no one paid attention to him.

I smiled apologetically, forgetting that he and Xue Nan didn't understand the art of numerology, and after thinking about it carefully, I told him the hexagram that Ling Xuan divined.

The sixty-third hexagram of King Wen, the mountain thunder hexagram, and the Weishui visit sage.

The hexagram says: Taigong fishes the Weishui River alone, and he is sad with a silk rod in his hand. From time to time, he met King Wen again, and he was never tortured since then.

Those who are good at nourishing are also nourishing, and they are self-nourishing with food. In the past, King Wen occupied this hexagram, and sure enough, he went to Weishui to see Jiang Taigong, which opened the 800-year national Zuo of the Zhou Dynasty, so there is the image of Weishui visiting the virtuous.

The wind and land view hexagram is the fifth hexagram of King Wen, the wind and land view hexagram, and the drought and lotus get water.

Hexagram said: The cause lotus out of the water, the dry day is not as good as the past, fortunately the water to irrigate, the branches and leaves are more red.

The viewer is admired by people, so there is the image of drought and lotus water. A pond of lotus, when the day is dry, the pond is dry and the flowers are dry, all are not luxuriant, suddenly the sky rains heavily, the flowers are luxuriant, the person who occupies this hexagram has the sign of the help of the nobles.

These two hexagrams are all auspicious hexagrams, will I meet a noble person who has hit my fate today?

After listening to my explanation, Xue Nan seemed to have discovered something, and looked at me thoughtfully.

"Listening to what you say, these two hexagrams are both auspicious, judging from the hexagrams, they all mean that you will meet noble people and get help from others, it is none other than Yan Lao ...... just now."

Listening to Xue Nan say this, I suddenly realized, whether it is Weishui to visit Xian or Dry Lotus to get water, Shen Lang and I are both the former, both King Wen and Dry Lotus, the most important thing in this hexagram is "Xian" and "water", is Yan Lao my nobleman?

Ling Xuan saw my sudden realization, took a pause, and continued to look on the third floor, while speaking casually.

"You figured it out, such a big person is not as smart as a little girl."

"You guessed it right, Elder Yan is the first reason I came here today."
