Chapter 391: Lost Painting

Thanks to the blessings of the envoys of various countries, Ashou's porcelain business was booming.

Since being inspired by Bai Tang and moving the masterpieces to porcelain, Ah Shou has relied on the many famous paintings in the house to make a series of famous paintings. It is also divided into landscapes, flowers and birds, and figures. The type of instrument is also wonderful. Due to the small output and high quality, there are often customers who fight for a piece of porcelain!

Miss Ashikaga and her guards linger in Aju's porcelain shop.

"Miss! The porcelain of the Ming Dynasty is completely different from the one brought back by Lord Zhong a few years ago! Takeda was also full of surprises.

Ashikaga stood in front of a porcelain vessel between the lotus leaves and whispered, "Their porcelain has been freed from its shackles!" Look at this one, it is not a pot or a bottle, whether it is the appearance or the color, it is lifelike, purely ornamental! ”

Ashikaga was amazed, and his eyes fell on a novel porcelain screen.

The warm mahogany is the frame, and it is finely carved. The three-fold porcelain screen is burned to the three ladies in the "Hairpin Lady", the posture is elegant, the color is gorgeous, and the clothes and jewelry are depicted extremely finely.

Ashikaga was stunned for a while, and only asked Takeda in a low voice for a long time: "Isn't the "Hairpin Lady" hidden in the Ming Palace?" ”

Takeda frowned and said, "This shop is the property of the Dingguo Mansion. Dingguo Gong was deeply favored by the Ming Emperor, maybe he could borrow a painting to read? ”

Ashikaga looked at the details in the painting again, pursed his red lips slightly, and chuckled: "Okay! I want this screen! ”

The shopkeeper responded: "Miss Ashikaga has such a good eye!" This screen is our latest masterpiece! In total, five pieces were burned! I sent it the day before yesterday, and today I only have this latter one left! The price is three thousand taels! ”

Three thousand taels and one sitting on a porcelain screen?!

Takeda's face changed: This is too expensive! It's just a starting price!

Ashikaga glanced at him: "Not to mention the craftsmanship of this porcelain, the painting on it is more elaborate than the copied works I have seen, and it is worth the price!" ”

Takeda had no choice but to take out the silver ticket.

The shopkeeper praised: "Miss Ashikaga has a good eye! ”

Ashikaga's eyes rolled slightly: "Inspired by your shop, I also have a few famous paintings in my hands, I wonder if they can be burned on porcelain and brought back to Toei by me?" ”

The shopkeeper couldn't help but wonder: "Not all paintings are suitable for firing on porcelain. I don't know what the famous painting in the young lady's hand is? ”

Ashikaga replied, "The Lady of the Kingdom of Yu Chun Picture Scroll." ”

The shopkeeper's complexion changed immediately! couldn't help but laugh dryly: "Original, original painting orβ€”"

Ashikaga covered his mouth and smiled: "The original work has long been lost. What I have in my hands is a work copied by future generations. ”

The shopkeeper was even more nervous: "So, who copied that masterpiece?" ”

Ashikaga waved the folding fan in his hand: "Song Huizong." ”

The shopkeeper's careful liver thumped, and he shouted: My mother!

After the death of the Northern Song Dynasty, this painting remained in the Jin Dynasty, and then disappeared, could it have allowed Dongying to go? !

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Miss Ashikaga, I can't do anything about this!" How about I report back to our owner and then get back to you? ”

Ashikaga bowed his head and said, "It should be like this." Then he departed.

A few days later, the emperor suddenly summoned Xu San Baitang into the palace.

Bai Tang didn't know what was going on, and the eunuch who delivered the decree couldn't say it clearly. When the two arrived at the imperial study, they saw Ah Shou puffing out his cheeks and calling aggrievedly: "Baitang! Xu San, you have to be the master for me! ”

Bai Tang was surprised: "Your Majesty is here, who else can make you feel wronged?" ”

Xu San glared at him: "Look at your appearance!" ”

Emperor Xuan's face was helpless: "Bai Tang, you have a vicious eye, and your attainments in calligraphy and painting are not as good as those in the palace." Come and see this picture! ”

Bai Tang said secretly: Did you invite yourself to appreciate the paintings?

A eunuch unfolded the scroll, and Bai Tang looked at the man on horseback exposed at the frontispiece, and raised his eyebrows and opened his eyes wide!

""The Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu's Spring Picture Scroll"?" Bai Tang took a step forward and stared at the painting intently, from left to right, almost greedily admiring this extremely precious picture inch by inch! After looking at it for a moment, a look of hesitation appeared on his face. looked up at Ah Shou, took out a magnifying glass from his sleeve, looked at the clothes and ornaments of the person in the painting several times, spat out a turbid breath, and asked with an ugly face: "What did the painter in the palace say?" ”

Ah Shou cried with a sad face: "They discussed it for a few days, and they said it was fake!" ”

Bai Tang patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: "Although it is not a genuine work, nor is it the handwriting of Huizong, it is just a copy of the work of modern people, but it is also extremely rare." Without losing the charm, it can be chaotic! He asked curiously, "How much did you spend?" ”

Ah Shou almost cried: "No money!" ”

Xu San scolded with a smile: "What are you wronged if you don't spend money!" ”

Ah Shou shouted: "But I got it in exchange for my own "Hairpin Lady"!" ”

Bai Tang and Xu San are the same!

Bai Tang immediately remembered that when he first saw Ah Shou and Zhang Bozhong, Ah Shou was the one who compared the "Hairpin Lady" copied by the Song Dynasty Painting Academy!

Ah Shou gritted his teeth, "I planted it in their hands this time!" ”

Xu San couldn't help but be stunned: "Who is so bold?" Dare to calculate you? ”

Ah Shou said angrily: "Who else can there be? Just those bastards! Your Majesty, the minister suffered this loss, and the minister admitted it! But you can't condone them to deceive Da Ming's treasure like this! ”

Bai Tang Moshuo scrolled through the scroll and said in a deep voice: "This painting is fake, ask them for your painting!" ”

The emperor smiled bitterly: "Ah Shou this time, he fell for their plan." ”

Ah Shou wanted to cry without tears, so he said what happened: "A few days ago, Dongying's daughter who was a general bought a lot of porcelain from my side. ”

Bai Tang frowned: "Dongying woman? Miss Ashikaga? ”

"That's her!" Ah Shou swore the words that rushed out of his mouth, "She looks very beautiful, and her heart is dark!" Baitang, didn't we launch a lot of new porcelain this time! Among them, there is a porcelain screen ornament, which is burned with the lady in the hairpin lady! That woman has a good eye! In this way, she decided that I had a genuine handiwork, and she wanted to deceive my paintings, so she coaxed me to say that she had "The Picture Scroll of the Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu", and she also wanted to burn it on porcelain!! ”

Bai Tang frowned: "And then?" ”

"And then my heart fluttered! How precious this painting is! The original work has long been gone, and the facsimile of Emperor Huizong is respected! Who doesn't want to open their eyes? So I agreed to help her burn porcelain! The painters in my house, along with myself, were all blinded by this painting! ”

Xuanzong nodded: "The painters in the palace also thought it was painted by Huizong at first. Later, Mr. Dai Jingdai found a small strange mark in a piece of paint, like the grain of wood, and found several similar texturesβ€”β€”"

Bai Tang was stunned when he heard Dai Jing's name, this person is also a famous painter! I heard him discover the texture of the wood and praised: "Mr. Dai's heart is as fine as a hair." Not bad! This painting is reproduced by the woodblock watermark method! The person who reproduces this painting is also superb! ”

Emperor Xuan sighed: "Mr. Dai said the same thing. I think that if you talk about the art of engraving, who can match you? So please come back and do another appraisal. ”

Bai Tang asked Ah Shou again: "You were itchy when you saw this painting, so you exchanged it with her own painting?" ”

"I wanted to buy it back at a high price!" Ah Shou thought of his dignified Guogong, but he was tricked by the Dongying people, and he was embarrassed. "They won't! It is said that silver can be earned, but if this painting is taken off, it will be difficult to find it again! ”

Xu San scolded him with a smile: "I understand!" You man, the more you can't get something, the more you want it! must be stalked, and refuse to let go! And then step by step, I entered other people's suits! ”
