32. The Vanishing Family (5)

"General Suβ€”"

Wen Chongxuan suddenly covered his stomach and bent down in pain, "This official, the sudden abdominal pain is unbearable, I'm afraid I can't comment today." Please leave Yan Sikong's paintings, write the annotations tomorrow, and send them to the East Palace's Right Inner Guard's Mansion. ”

"Oh? What a coincidence......"

Su Xiaozhou secretly glanced at the little sister.

Su Lanyan comprehended, her hand shook slightly, and the ink that she hadn't pinched fell on the scroll at once.

"Ahh

Wen Chongxuan was shocked, and hurriedly left and right to find something to take advantage of.

Suddenly, his eyes locked, and he tore the Persian blanket on the seat behind him, pinched the corner of it, picked up the ink, and quickly threw it into the paper basket, and then continued to use it to stain the ink on the scroll. The one-inch Persian velvet blanket is not only fine and soft, but also very waterproof, and the ink stains are getting bigger and bigger because of his efforts.

"This ...... This painting ...... How is that a good thing?! This is the collection of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! ”

The large cloud of ink on the scroll made him almost collapse.

"Lord Wenβ€”"

Su Xiaozhou suddenly stepped forward, "You are not proficient in painting at all, and the "Taizong Drinking Horses under the Moon" hanging in Jixian Courtyard is not your work, right?" ”

"Ahh

Wen Chongxuan was stunned for a moment, the light velvet blanket fell to his feet, and the whole person suddenly slumped on the wide seat, pointing at her and saying, "Don't spew blood!" ”

"This painting was copied by me, not the teacher's original handiwork. You became famous for your calligraphy and painting, but you can't even see the ordinary fakes, which are inferior to the painters who came after you in the same period, and you really lose the level of 'Danqing Pavilion'. ”

Su Lanyan stepped forward, with a little contempt in her eyes, and looked at him and said, "Tut-tutβ€”β€”, I really didn't expect that the dignified prime minister's family would do such a dirty deed." ”

first entered Jixian Academy as good at painting, then grew up smoothly, and finally entered the official career with a bang.

Such a smooth road is not something he can pave alone, and there must be the help of the elders in the family.

"You...... What do you really want? Wen Chongxuan asked without a master.

Shun Shun has been in office for so many years, he has almost forgotten how he got into the official career.

The people from the East Palace came to test him, could it be that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had doubts about him? Want to cut him?!

was pinched to his biggest handle by the two of them, and now he is a lamb to be slaughtered, and life and death are all decided by others.

"Lord Wen, don't be nervous."

Su Xiaozhou smiled and stepped forward and said, "You hate ink stains so much, you can't usually paint at all, right?" When you were in Danqing Pavilion, you took a leave of absence all year round under the pretext of being weak, because you were afraid that you would be found out that you were not good at painting at all, and you didn't even have the ability to complete the painting independently. In those years, who caught ghostwriting all the assignments you handed in? The "Taizong Drinking Horses under the Moon", was that person also helped paint it? ”

The masterpiece that once caused a sensation in Chang'an, its real author did not become famous because of it, but it made him a "holy hand scholar".

The person behind Wen Chongxuan is what they are looking for.

At the mention of that painting, Wen Chongxuan suddenly panicked, "Of course, of course I painted that painting!" No one ghostwrites...... No oneβ€”β€”, no one! ”

Faced with his sudden loss of control, Su Xiaozhou was not in a hurry.

Everyone has unspeakable secrets, and when the secret is revealed, getting out of control is just the last defense before it collapses.

She glanced at Yuan Yin and nodded slightly.

Yuan Yin took his hand, walked over slowly, pointed to the paintings on the wall and said, "These are all treasures. With the attainments and preferences of adults, there shouldn't be a way to select so many pieces to put in their own study, is it the collection of Lord Lingzun Lang, right? With these things, he must have traveled widely......"

Wen Chongxuan's hands trembled, from Su Xiaozhou to Su Lanyan, and then to Yuan Yin, and said angrily: "What do you want β€”β€”, you want?!" These paintings were bought back by my grandfather and father with real money, but they did not violate the laws and regulations of the Tang Kingdom! ”

"There is no violation of the law of the country?"

The corners of Yuan Yin's mouth were slightly hooked, and he casually pointed to a copper sword on the top of the cabinet and said: "The fake Han Dynasty copper sword, the jade sword head, the jade sword grid, the jade sword Xuan, the jade sword Jue, the jade sword Jue, are perfect and exquisite, at least the funeral goods of the Han Dynasty princely level." Without violating the law of the country, can you put this at home? ”

"It's ...... A replica bought at the East Market Antique Shop. You haven't been to one of those shops where you can make ornaments exactly like old things, this kind of sword...... How much you want! "Although I don't know the art of gold and stone, judging from the degree of cherishing of my ancestors, this sword is definitely not an imitation. However, seeing that the other party was a milky teenager, Wen Chongxuan was still trying his best to hold on.

"Okayβ€”"

Yuan Yin waved his hand casually, and pointed to another one, "Look at this "Nanshan Xuanbao Picture" again, although the payment is missing, it is the authentic work of Zhang Seng Miao of the Southern Dynasty. It has been collected by the Nanliang royal family, and few people have seen it, and the last time it was recorded was in the dowry list of Princess Lin'an. Later generations did not circulate this painting, not even a copy of it, and nine times out of ten it was brought into the mausoleum by its owner. ”

"This is "Nanshan Xuanbao Picture"?!"

Su Lanyan and Wen Chongxuan were taken aback.

Zhang Sengqiu, one of the four families of the Six Dynasties, even Yan Sikong was far away from him. Mo said that he had never had the opportunity to see his real work, and even if he had this work, they had never heard of it as a painter of Danqing Pavilion.

Su Lanyan's eyes widened, "Yuan Lingcheng, are you serious?" ”

Yuan Yin nodded, "When you painters look at paintings, you all look at the payment first, and then look at the style and brushstrokes. I look at paintings with the technique of gold and stone, mainly looking at the color of paper and ink, and then correspond to the documentary records. I have never studied the paintings of famous artists in the previous dynasty, and there is no doubt that this painting is genuine! ”

At this moment, Wen Chongxuan had nothing to say.

Flop and collapse to the ground.

"General Su, contemptible people have no talent and no virtue, and insult their ancestors. If you don't dislike it, let it be sent. ”

His implication was that as long as he could keep this secret for him, he would be willing to do anything for them.

The three exchanged glances, and Su Xiaozhou said, "Lord Wen, you just need to answer my question truthfully." ”

"The general just asks, and the contemptible must know everything, and he will say everything." Wen Chongxuan was completely deflated.

Su Xiaozhou asked: "What does the person who helped you write and paint have anything to do with the source of these treasures of the Wen family?" ”

"Indeed...... Matter. ”

Wen Chongxuan hung his head and said: "My family has been fond of studying antiques, calligraphy and painting since my great-grandfather's arrival. My grandfather was especially fond of collecting heavy weapons from the former dynasty, so he got in touch with some people in the rivers and lakes. More than 30 years ago, my grandfather met a tomb robber and gold digger, and they had a close relationship. I can't tell the difference between real and fake ornaments and paintings, which I got from trading with him over the years. ”
