Chapter 124: The True Face of the Painting

As soon as Tang Yun looked at the person, he was instantly stunned: "Teacher Chen, why are you here?"

The person in front of him was the antique appraisal expert that Tang Yun met in the market that day, Mr. Chen Guanxi Chen!

"Xiao Tang, we met again, I didn't expect you to be Jiajia's boyfriend?" Chen Guanxi smiled at Tang Yun.

"Teacher Chen, you and Uncle Zhou..."

Chen Guanxi explained with a smile: "I am old friends with your Uncle Zhou..."

It turned out that Chen Guanxi and Zhou Nanfeng were elementary school classmates, and their relationship was very good, but the relationship between the two was not just like this, the reason why Chen Guanxi became an antique appraisal expert was actually influenced by Zhou Lao.

When I was studying, once, when Chen Guanxi came to play with Zhou Nanfeng as usual, he saw Zhou Lao carefully cleaning and maintaining several very ancient objects, and he couldn't help but feel very curious.

Then under the explanation of Zhou Lao, Chen Guanxi was ignorant and had a trace of interest, until junior high school when he found a porcelain plate in the antique stall, he felt very liked, and then brought it back to Zhou Lao to see, I did not expect this porcelain plate to be the Qing Dynasty period of the kiln porcelain, and then with the help of Zhou Lao, this porcelain plate was sold for a price of 50,000 yuan, because of this leakage incident, Chen Guanxi made up his mind to seriously learn antique knowledge, and now, he is already a well-known antique appraisal expert.

"I see..."

After listening to what Chen Guanxi said, Tang Yun couldn't help but sigh, he didn't expect that Chen Guanxi and the Zhou family still had such a relationship.

"Haha, Xiao Chen is now out of the blue, and he has far surpassed me, an old man!"

Boss Zhou walked in with a smile, and Zhou Jiajia behind him put the freshly cut fruit on the plate and brought it to the top of the coffee table.

"Old Zhou, look at what you said. ”

When Chen Guanxi heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Compared with you, I still have a lot of deficiencies to learn from you!"

"Haha, don't be modest. Zhou Lao smiled: "I am very pleased to see that you have achieved so much!"

After Chen Guanxi became famous, in interviews with many TV programs, he mentioned Zhou Rendao's influence and help to him, so Zhou Lao felt very pleased with this.

"By the way, Xiao Tang, don't you have a painting to show me?"

"This is it. Tang Yun took out the scroll and said, "Actually, Mr. Chen has also seen this painting..."

"Hmm, I've seen it?" Chen Guanxi was stunned when he heard this.

Tang Yun explained with a smile: "Teacher Chen, do you remember the first time we met?"

After Tang Yun spread out the scroll, Chen Guanxi suddenly realized: "Oh, it turns out that you are talking about this painting!"

"This is, Wu Shixian's "Landscape, Smoke and Rain"?"

Zhou Lao only glanced at it, and saw the origin of this painting.

Tang Yun smiled: "Old Zhou really has good eyesight!"

"Xiao Tang, is this painting you want to show me?"

Zhou Lao looked at Tang Yun suspiciously, although this "Landscape, Smoke and Rain" is also a rare masterpiece, but the age of the painting is not too old after all, he doesn't think that Tang Yun will specially show him such a painting.

"yes!"

Tang Yun smiled and nodded.

Looking at Tang Yun and then at his granddaughter on the side, Zhou Lao guessed that Tang Yun's main purpose of coming this time might just be to be a guest, and as for this painting, it should just be a stopby.

After thinking about it, Zhou Lao took a closer look at the painting, and then commented: "This "Landscape, Smoke and Rain" should be Wu Shixian's work in his later years, the composition of this painting is bright and concise, and the pen is bold and straightforward, which fully demonstrates Wu Shixian's unique personal painting style, and it is also a rare masterpiece!"

Chen Guanxi on the side couldn't help but nod his head in agreement when he heard this, his opinion was the same as that of Zhou Lao, but at the same time, he also felt a little strange, it stands to reason that when he was at the scene, he had already commented on it, and Tang Yun had no reason to use it to let Zhou Lao comment again.

Chen Guanxi smiled: "Xiao Tang, you shouldn't be able to believe me, right?"

"That's not the case, Mr. Chen, you misunderstood. Tang Yun hurriedly explained: "I know that this is Master Wu Shixian's "Landscape, Smoke and Rain", but when I saw this painting at that time, I always felt that something was not quite right..."

"Something is wrong?"

"Yes!" Tang Yun nodded and said, "And before I came, Jia Jia also said that she felt this way after seeing this painting, so I specially brought it over and asked Zhou Lao to help take a look." ”

After a pause, Tang Yun continued: "I think this painting may have something else..."

Zhou Lao frowned when he heard this, and looked at the scroll carefully, and he really felt that something was wrong at this look.

"Don Jr., how did you get this painting?"

"I bought it at an antique stall in a park in the city, and the one who sold this painting was an old man, and according to him, he took it from his father..."Tang Yun explained the details of the painting he bought at that time.

Chen Guanxi also nodded and said, "What Xiao Tang said is right, I was also at the scene at the time. ”

After listening to Tang Yun's narration, Zhou Lao picked up the magnifying glass he carried with him, once again looked at this "Picture of Landscape, Smoke and Rain" from beginning to end, and touched the paper of the scroll, and had a rough guess in his heart, this painting may really be the same as Tang Yun said, there is something else...

"Old Zhou, do you see something?" Chen Guanxi said.

Zhou Lao didn't answer him directly, but said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, you first carefully touch the paper used in this painting." ”

Chen Guanxi was stunned for a moment, and touched it carefully: "This is rice paper, well, and it's still raw Xuan..."

Xuan paper is a traditional Chinese classical calligraphy and painting paper, because the rice paper has the characteristics of easy preservation, long-lasting and not brittle, will not fade, so it has the reputation of "paper longevity for a thousand years".

According to the degree of ink on the paper, rice paper can be divided into raw Xuan, semi-cooked Xuan and cooked Xuan, the water absorption and water wetting of raw Xuan is the strongest of the three, easy to produce rich ink rhyme changes, with the line of splashing ink method, ink accumulation method, can collect ink black, to achieve the artistic effect of water and ink staying, is the most common in landscape painting.

"That's right!" Zhou Lao continued: "In addition, Master Wu Shixian once got a mysterious painting in his old age, I don't know if you have heard this rumor. ”

"Well, I've heard a little bit about it!"

"Grandpa, don't play dumb riddles, tell us quickly!" Zhou Jiajia shook Zhou Lao's arm and said coquettishly.

Zhou Lao was shaken by Zhou Jiajia and had no choice but to smile helplessly: "Okay, okay, I said it's not okay!"

"I think there's a good chance there's another painting hidden inside this painting, which means it's a picture-in-picture!"

Airplanes!

In the living room, except for Zhou Lao, several people present couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise.
