After appreciating it again, Lan Tianyu reluctantly put this work into the altar space.

Zeng Yuntian's three oil paintings have great potential for appreciation in the future, and Lan Tianyu is ready to collect them for a long time and temporarily put them into the company's treasure house.

The phone on the table rang, and the voice of the company's chief appraiser Li Nuoran came inside: "Mr. Lan, can you come to the VIP reception room now?" Now a guest has sent two heavy treasures and is willing to sign a power of attorney with us. But he is now in dire need of funds and has asked our auction house to pay a part of the money in advance. ”

"Then I'll go right now."

Putting down the phone, Lan Tianyu walked towards the company's VIP reception room.

There were three people sitting in the reception room, in addition to Li Nuoran, the company's chief appraiser, Sun Ye, the director of the porcelain painting and calligraphy department, and the consignor of the lot.

Li Nuoran had just arrived at the age of the sixtieth year, his hair was slightly gray, his face was thin, and he seemed to be a little haggard. Sun Ye is a middle-aged man with a somewhat rich body, in addition to having a certain level of appreciation in porcelain, calligraphy and painting, he also has a wide range of connections in the collecting circle.

"Mr. Lan, this old Mr. Wan Yunhe intends to give away two heavy treasures that he has collected all his life, but his family is in urgent need of capital turnover, and he hopes to get a part of the advance payment." Sun Ye stood up and said.

"Hello, old sir. Can I take a look at the two treasures in your hand first? If things are good and you don't need much money, consider making a portion upfront. ”

Although the old gentleman who sent the auction is over seventy years old, he looks energetic and elegant, which makes people awe at first sight. Therefore, Lan Tianyu spoke very politely.

"I didn't expect Gu Yun's boss to be so young, Mr. Lan is really a rare young talent. The two treasures in my hand have followed me for most of my life, and if it weren't for my son's lack of anger and huge debts, I would have been reluctant to sell these two treasures. Wan Yunhe was a little embarrassed, and his expression seemed to be extremely reluctant.

On the large display stand, there is a pair of ink paintings, a large bowl of blue and white entwined lotus.

The first thing to appreciate in the blue sky and rain is the blue and white bowl.

The shape of this bowl is dignified and stocky, the carcass is thick and firm, the mouth edge is flat, and the edges and corners are obvious; There is no pattern in the bowl, the pattern outside the vessel is decorated with blue and white flowers, and the abdominal wall is painted with eight entwined branches and lotus patterns, the painting is exquisite and delicate, and the lines are smooth and free. The flame pattern is painted before the two string patterns at the mouth edge and near the foot, and the deformed lotus petal pattern is painted near the circle foot, which is the unified decoration of this large bowl, and the outer side of the circle foot is painted with a scroll branch pattern.

The mouth along the double-string line book "Ming Xuande Year" six-character regular paragraph, the font style is beautiful, the penmanship is fresh, dignified and clumsy.

This kind of large bowl, the Palace Museum also has an example, the abdomen is also decorated with a lotus pattern, but the edge of the mouth and the near foot are different from this product and draw plum blossoms. At a spring auction last year, the same kind of large bowl fetched an extremely high price of 12 million.

If this blue and white bowl is indeed genuine, Lan Tianyu will definitely find a way to stay, even if he goes to the bank for a loan, he will not hesitate to do so. With his appraisal level, he really didn't see any flaws, and if it was before he got the plane altar, he would definitely be entangled. But he can now see the treasure light presented by this large bowl, which is enough to determine the authenticity of this large bowl.

In his eyes, the light emitted by the blue and white bowl was very faint, and the value should not exceed 100,000.

This blue and white bowl with no flaws turned out to be a high-quality fake!

A hint of fierceness flashed in Lan Tianyu's eyes, but he didn't say anything, and the expression on his face didn't change at all.

After repeatedly appreciating the blue and white bowl, Lan Tianyu seemed to be reluctant to put down the bowl and came to the ink painting that had been rolled out.

This ink painting turned out to be a vertical scroll on ink on paper of Bada Shanren's "Lonely Bird".

Bada Shanren, whose real name is Zhu Qi, is a native of Nanchang, Jiangxi, a painter in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and a generation of Chinese painting masters. The word snow, the number of eight mountain people, mountains, donkey houses, etc. He is the sixteenth son of Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, the ninth grandson of Ningxian Wang Zhu Quan, and one of the "four monks" in the early Qing Dynasty.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, the country was ruined, the family was destroyed, the mood was sad and angry, and the hair fell into the monk, and the name of the law was passed on, and the word blade hermitage. Later, he converted to Taoism and lived in Nanchang Qingyun Spectrum Taoist Institute. Good at calligraphy and painting, flowers and birds are based on ink and wash freehand, the image is exaggerated and peculiar, the brush and ink are condensed and resolute, and the style is majestic and timeless.

He was loyal to the Ming Dynasty all his life, regarded himself as a remnant of the Ming Dynasty, and refused to cooperate with the Qing. His works often use symbolism to express his feelings, such as painting fish, ducks, birds, etc., all with white eyes to the sky, full of stubbornness. Such an image is a portrayal of the self-mentality of the Bada Mountain people.

The characteristics of the Bada Shanren's pen and ink are good at laissez-faire, vigorous and round, clear and elegant, no matter large or small, there are simple and hearty and bright and healthy wind gods. The structure of the chapter is unconventional, and it seeks completeness in the incomplete. Bada Shanren flower and bird paintings have been handed down to the world, and their achievements are higher, which are characterized by the use of symbolic meanings, a flower and a leaf, a bird and a stone, with a peculiar structure and a full business.

In this picture, the whole picture is a lonely bird, standing on one foot, without a fall, ethereal and lonely. Zhu Qi's flower and bird painting, inheriting the tradition of Chen Chun and Xu Wei's freehand flower and bird painting, developed into a broad brush and large freehand painting. In this picture, through the symbolic and allegorical techniques, and the painting of the lonely bird exaggerated, with its peculiar image and concise shape, the image of the lonely bird in the painting is prominent, the theme is distinct, the lonely bird "white eyes to people", in order to show their arrogant, cynical character.

In Lan Tianyu's view, this work, whether it is technique or artistic conception, is completely the unique style of Bada Shanren, and it is the best of his paintings.

Seal in the upper left corner: Bada Shanren, involved, Puzitang. Style: Gui Zhaoyang was involved, Bada Shanren.

Whether it is a seal or a style, the blue sky and rain can't see any flaws. If it is evaluated by his own ability, this should be the true work of the Bada Mountain People.

There were already doubts in his heart, even if Lan Tianyu didn't see the flaws in this painting, he basically concluded that this should also be a fake. The right hand touched the vertical scroll, and the white light presented in front of him was really not strong, judging from this, the value of this painting should be about 500,000. It seems that this should be a high-quality anti-old work, and even calligraphy and painting experts can easily catch the eye.

Lan Tianyu was furious in his heart, but he didn't expose it immediately, he wanted to find out who planned this scam, maybe he could find out the traitor in the company through this matter, this was an opportunity he had been waiting for for a long time.

"I don't know how much money the old gentleman wants us to prepay in advance? Our financial situation during this period of time is a little tight, and if the old gentleman's requirements are too high, we can't do anything about it. Lan Tianyu asked.

"My two consignments are real treasures, with a market value of more than 10 million, and the total transaction price will not be less than 30 million. My requirements are not high, as long as Mr. Lan advances me 20 million funds, I can sign an entrustment contract with you Gu Yun. Wan Yun Heyun said lightly
