Most of the antiques in the Shuijing antique shop are neatly arranged on glass cabinets and glass shelves.

However, calligraphy and painting are exceptions.

Of course, not all the paintings and calligraphy are hung outside, but some of them are placed in glass cabinets in the calligraphy and painting area.

Speaking of which, for calligraphy and painting antiques, not only Tang Yun, but even his fiancée Zhou Jiajia next to him is also very fond of it.

Among all kinds of calligraphy and painting antiques, Tang Yun is particularly fond of ancient paintings, such as the "Journey to the Mountains and Streams" from Fan Kuan, which is one of his favorite ancient paintings in the basement of his villa in Muye's homeland.

In contrast, Zhou Jiajia's preferences are more extensive, she not only likes ancient paintings, but also likes ancient calligraphy, and even some modern calligraphy and painting, she is also quite interested.

The two stood in front of the calligraphy and painting counter and quietly admired it for a while.

Suddenly, Zhou Jiajia pulled the sleeve of Tang Yun beside him, pointed to an ancient painting in front of him and asked, "Huh, Tang Yun, who is this Mei Qing?"

Tang Yun followed Zhou Jiajia's fingers, it was an ancient landscape painting, from top to bottom, you could see clear landscapes, tree branches, and two or three pedestrians.

At the same time, located in the upper left corner of this ancient painting, there is also a paragraph: "Geng Wuqiu July guest window to do this, Yuangong Meiqing and remember." ”

Bell seal: Mei Qing's seal, Yuan Gong

Collection seal: Yushan Qian's books, Zhusuo appreciation

Tang Yun has always liked ancient poems and paintings since he was a child, so he has inquired and learned about ancient poets, especially painters.

It can be seen from the style and seal of this ancient landscape painting that the author of this ancient painting is named Mei Qing.

Who is Mei Qing?

Tang Yun still has some knowledge about this ancient painter.

So, he explained with a smile: "Hehe, this Mei Qing, he was a painter in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, in the early days, the subject of his paintings was only the landscape and hometown style of his hometown, after the age of thirty-two, he began to devote himself to painting Huangshan, and even repeatedly climbed Tiandu, Lion Forest, Futon Pine, Xihaimen and many other places of scenic spots, is a master of painting Huangshan Strange Pine. ”

Mei Qing's ancient paintings, Tang Yun has seen a few on the Internet, Mei Qing is a collection of poetry, calligraphy, painting in one, his paintings on the "Huangshan School", "Xin'an School" has an important influence, his works are in the Kyoto Museum and the Lake Province Museum and other collections.

Tang Yun has always admired such a No. 1 person, and he himself likes Mei Qing's paintings very much.

The work of "Green Landscape" in front of him is obviously not quite the same as the style of Mei Qing's early days, and if Tang Yun is not mistaken, this painting should be the work he painted in his later years.

Zhou Jiajia nodded.

But then, she stretched out her hand and pointed to the seal on the ancient painting, and said, "Then, what about the connoisseur below? Who is he? What a remote name." ”

Tang Yun looked at it: "Oh, this is not a name, it's just a font size." ”

Tang Yun didn't know much about this Suo, he only knew that his original name was Ji Yingzhong, and he was just called Suo.

The reason why I remember his name is also because the two characters are a little biased, but although Tang Yun is not very clear about Ji Yingzhong's work, he knows that this is a loyal poet, because he once exposed Wei Zhongxian's "eunuch party" to cause chaos in the government and government.

Mei Qing and Ji Yingzhong are both famous painters and poets in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and looking at the two seals on the paintings, these two should be friends who know each other.

After observing for a while, Zhou Jiajia frowned slightly, and analyzed: "Well, judging from the material of the paper and the level of the painting, this should be a genuine product. Moreover, the painter's painting style is very handsome and elegant, and he shows the changes of the mountains very well, and the level is still relatively high. ”

Tang Yun does not know as much about the appreciation of ancient paintings as Zhou Jiajia, but he can more directly "see" the creation age of ancient paintings. In this regard, even an experienced master of painting cannot compare with him.

After listening to Zhou Jiajia's appreciation and analysis just now, combined with Tang Yun's own judgment, he can basically conclude that the work of Mei Qing's "Green Landscape" in front of him is undoubtedly genuine.

However, just in case, Tang Yun finally used the ability of perspective to carefully "scan" the painting.

"Tang Yun, I think this painting is really good, why don't we buy it?" Zhou Jiajia took Tang Yun's arm and said.

Through his personal "appraisal", Tang Yun has confirmed that this is an authentic ancient painting from Mei Qing, and it is the work that Tang Yun guessed that Mei Qing made in his later years.

In addition, the price of this painting is not expensive, only 12,000 yuan, so Tang Yun nodded very simply: "Okay, buy it!"

Although the shopkeeper on the side did not disturb Tang Yun and the two to look at the antiques, his eyes never left, and at this time, seeing that Tang Yun not only nodded, but also beckoned to him again, the shopkeeper immediately walked over with a smile on his face.

"I want this painting, can you help me wrap it up first?" After the shopkeeper walked in, Tang Yun pointed to Mei Qing's "Green Landscape" work and said: "I will continue to look at other ancient paintings in a while, and if there is anything I like at that time, I will count it together." ”

Although the price of this ancient painting is not expensive, Tang Yun is also afraid that he will be taken by other guests at that time, so it is better to start first.

"Okay, okay. ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he nodded busily: "Please take a look, if you have a fancy for a while, you can call me at any time." ”

When the shopkeeper took this ancient painting of "Green Landscape" and ran to the side to package it, Tang Yun continued to look at other ancient paintings in the calligraphy and painting area.

Although the calligraphy and painting works here account for half of each other, Tang Yun only glanced at these calligraphy works, and it is obvious that he is not very interested in this aspect.

Although he has been practicing calligraphy all along, if he does want to collect, he will prefer to collect some of his favorite ancient paintings, even if the value of the ancient paintings is not high.

As for the calligraphy works?

Unless it is a calligraphy work made by a well-known calligrapher and a calligraphy work of high value, Tang Yun may not be able to see it.

"Huh?!"

Suddenly, Zhou Jiajia stretched out his hand and pulled Tang Yun, and his other hand pointed to an ancient painting in the glass cabinet.
