Bai Lihong is quite familiar with the genre of Chinese calligraphy and painting, and when he looked back and forth several times, he had preliminarily determined that the white figure scroll in front of him was probably from the hand of Wu Zhizi, a famous artist in the Tang Dynasty.

Wu Zhizi is known as the saint of painting in the history of Chinese painting.

However, due to various reasons, there are very few of his authentic works that have been handed down to future generations, but he is good at creating murals with religious themes, so most of his authentic works can be seen in later generations as mural relics.

Bai Lihong had copied his murals by hand, so he quickly discerned the exciting and familiar brushwork techniques from the scrolls in front of him.

When Hou Boping said this, he stopped and picked up his mobile phone, took out a few photos of "Immortal Battle Map" he took from the photo album, and showed them to Lu Li, and Lin Lin also looked at it next to Lu Li's shoulder.

Lin Lin raised his hand and pointed to the screen of his mobile phone, and asked Lu Li if he had seen anything.

Lu Li looked at the photos on the mobile phone screen seriously, and suddenly paused, raised his eyes to Lin Lin and said, "This law is ...... I feel quite similar to the murals in Tianle Palace. ”

Lin Lin smiled lightly and nodded, and Hou Boping looked at Lu Li in surprise and said, "A layman can see this, it's amazing." ”

Lu Li was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, and when he was smiling and thinking about words, Lin Lin had already opened his mouth to urge the master to continue.

Lu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Hou Boping laughed, "Okay, I'll continue." But as soon as he had said a few words, his wife came out of the kitchen and said that it was time to eat.

Lu Li realized that more than two hours had passed unconsciously, and the dinner time at Hou Boping's house was relatively early, and Lin Lin had told her before coming.

The narration of "Immortal Battle Map" stopped for a while, several people got up and went to the dining room to prepare for dinner, Lu Li followed his wife in and out of the kitchen to help serve dishes and set dishes, Lin Lin also wanted to go over to help, but was called into the study by Hou Boping.

The study door was gently shut.

Lu Li looked at the closed door of the study curiously, not knowing what the two masters and apprentices were going to say behind closed doors, and the movements under their feet slowed down.

Mrs. Hou walked over from Lu Li's side first, put down the dishes at the table, lowered her head to adjust the placement on the table, and said to Lu Li softly, "Their master and apprentice went to smoke on the outer balcony connected to the study, and they will be back soon." ”

Lu Li was stunned, but he didn't expect the study to close because of this, and suddenly felt that Hou Boping's face was a little more...... I don't know if I should use the word cute to describe the old man.

A smile crossed her lips.

"Master has a very good personality, I didn't talk to Master much before, but today I found that chatting with Master is very interesting...... I really envy my wife. Lu Li sighed from the bottom of his heart.

Mrs. Hou didn't react much when she heard this, but she continued to bow her head and get busy, and Lu Li couldn't see what effect her compliment just now had.

In Hou Boping's study.

On the small outer balcony, the master and apprentice really had a cigarette in their mouths, but only Hou Boping was the one that emitted smoke from the cigarette butt, and Lin Lone's cigarette was just biting on his mouth and making a appearance, and he didn't really light it.

Hou Boping took a heavy puff of cigarette and spit out a large cloud of smoke, coughed and said, "Are your things completely solved this time?" ”

Lin Lin knew what the master was asking, it was inconvenient to speak with a cigarette in his mouth, and his voice was not so clear when he came out of his throat, "It's solved temporarily, I don't know in the future." But don't worry, it won't be as dangerous as before in the future. ”

Hou Boping didn't react for a while, and Lin Lin could only see that most of his cigarette was quickly smoked.

After it was completely submerged, Hou Boping spoke again, "We will have a meeting tomorrow morning, and then we will go to the warehouse together, I haven't seen that painting for many years." ”

He had already changed the subject, and he didn't ask Lin Xiao what he had done before he disappeared.

Lin Xiao answered, took off the cigarette from his mouth, took the finished cigarette butt from the master's hand, and threw it into the trash can together, "I haven't seen the true face of that painting yet, I'm looking forward to it." ”

Hou Boping resisted the idea of another one and beckoned Lin Lin to go out to eat. Back in the study, Lin Lin whispered beside the master, "Smoking is still not good for your health, and if you can't quit, you must smoke less." ”

"Hmph, I talk a lot like your wife." Hou Boping snorted and reached out to open the door of the study.

Dinner was plentiful. The taste is also very in line with Lu Li's preference, and after she has been eating for a while, she realized that this is not at her own dinner table, and quickly raised her eyes embarrassedly to observe the other three people at the table.

Lu Li was secretly annoyed, he had always been uncontrollable recently, and today in Master Lin Lin's house, this is another offense, it is really rude.

It's not that she's worried about what Hou Boping and his wife will think of her, she has never been one who cares about other people's eyes, she doesn't mind what Lin Lin will think.

Lu Li cautiously glanced at Lin Li.

Lin Lin was picking up vegetables, gossiping with his master and wife while eating, and he didn't seem to notice Lu Li, Lu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly looked at the opposite Mrs. Hou, and smiled and praised her for making the dishes so delicious, that she was going to eat it.

Lin Lin turned his head to look at her, frowned slightly and glanced at Lu Li's stomach, the corners of his mouth curled deeply, "I have two specialty dishes that I learned from my master, and I will find time for you to try them later...... Another bowl of rice? ”

Lu Li glared at Lin Lin fiercely, shook his head again and again and said that she was full, and Mrs. Hou listened to it and politely persuaded her to eat more, but she just put a small bowl of winter melon and sea rice soup in front of Lu Li.

Hou Boping looked at this bowl of soup and smiled for his wife, "This soup doesn't take up much space, drink it while it's hot, this is a special dish for our family to entertain guests, don't look at the ingredients are very ordinary, but it tastes great!" ”

Mrs. Hou listened to the old man's praise and recommendation, and her eyes were crooked with a smile, but she still didn't say anything, just looked at Lu Li, and waited for her to serve a bowl and drink soup.

Lu Li picked up the bowl and drank the soup, sure enough, it tasted very good, Lu Li was actually very full, but he still drank several sips in a row, and a small bowl of soup was almost bottomed out.

"It's delicious, my wife's craftsmanship is so good." Lu Li put down the soup bowl, thought for a while, and said to Mrs. Hou, "Mrs. Hou, if it is convenient in the future, can you teach me to cook?" ”

"Okay, if you have time, does Xiao Lu usually cook by himself?" When Mrs. Hou heard that she wanted to learn how to cook with her, she finally had something to say.

Lu Li shrugged his shoulders in a sneer, "I rarely go to the kitchen, the dishes I can cook are just like that, and the cooking is not delicious, so don't dislike me too badly when the time comes." ”

Lin Lin laughed, Lu Li hurriedly turned his face to look at him, and saw Lin Lin staring at his face with a distrustful look, Lu Li understood what Lin Lin meant after a second, this is not believing that she will learn to cook.

If it weren't for the Hou Boping couple sitting in front of her, Lu Li would have done it a long time ago, but now she had to pretend to be a lady, so she only glared at Lin Lin with fierce eyes, and that look told him to settle the account when he got home.

After eating a home-cooked meal very happily, Lu Li wanted to go to the kitchen with Mrs. Hou to clean up, but was stopped by Hou Boping shouting, "Come and sit, the story of "Immortal Battle Map" has not been told yet." ”

Lu Li saw that Lin Lin also agreed with Hou Boping's meaning, so he had to sit back on the sofa, sat down and quietly touched his stomach with his hand, he really ate too much.

It's been a long time since she's had such an appetite.

Hou Boping personally made tea for everyone to eat, and after a cup of tea, he continued to speak.

"Let's talk about Bai Lihong judged that the white figure scroll of the old German lady is likely to be from the painting saint's authentic handiwork, although it is not possible to immediately determine the age and author of the scroll, but Ken is sure that even if it is not from Wu Zhizi's handwriting, it is also a very collectible painting, he does not want such treasures to go overseas, and he is afraid of long nights and dreams, so he and the painter friend quickly bought a total of ten paintings from the old lady, and the old German lady is also in a hurry to get the money to return to China, so the two sides are very happy."

While listening to Hou Boping's narration, Lu Li imagined in her mind the expression of Bai Lihong when she got the "Immortal Battle Map", she felt that she was all excited, and she really wanted to have the opportunity to see the true face of this painting.

Maybe when I go to the Fengtian Palace Museum to shoot a documentary later, I will have a chance.

Hou Boping took a sip of tea and continued.

After Bai Lihong and his friend returned to the hotel room with the scroll they had bought, he didn't care about his friend's exhibition, he locked himself in the room with the "Immortal Battle Picture", and closed the door for several days, almost every day in front of the unfolding scroll to watch and figure out, trying to find out the origin of the painting's real age.

When Hou Boping stopped at this point, his eyes suddenly froze, as if he was thinking about something, and only after a long time did he say, "The later appraisal of this painting is quite tortuous." ”
