Chapter 62: The Emperors of the Past
"It's just that why did the seventh brother and the ninth sister leave their most important things with him? You must know that these two things are the only proof of their royal status. Traveling to any state and county in the Great Xia Kingdom, the local thorn county guards only looked at tokens and sachets and not people. ”
In other words, without these two things, the magistrates could not receive them, so to speak, they were impersonations.
It is obviously impossible to say that they lost it and were picked up by the shopkeeper, how important is the royal family certificate? The Great Xia royal family has never had a prince and princess lose their certificate.
It was snatched away? It is even more impossible! In the entire Great Xia Kingdom, which sect dares to attack the prince? You must know that the hard power of the royal family surpasses that of any sect of cultivating immortals. What's more, the royal family has also mastered the world's military horses.
Ji Tianxing couldn't figure it out.
The only explanation is that the two of them took the initiative to give things to the shopkeeper.
What was the young shopkeeper capable of convincing a prince and a princess to give him both tokens and sachets?
When Ji Tianxing leveraged into Yifan's Jingzhai, he saw that Qin Yifan's calligraphy was extraordinary. Both the penmanship and the charm are incomparably in place, much stronger than the bachelors of the Hanlin Academy.
His paintings are also more than a grade higher than those of court painters.
However, these two points alone are definitely not enough for the prince and princess to do this. Ji Tianxing thought secretly in his heart, and looked at Qin Yifan, as if he wanted to find the answer from his face.
"This brother, did you take a fancy to my painting?" Qin Yifan asked.
"Not yet. Ji Tianxing said.
And Wei Chi Boren looked at the prince with inquiring eyes, as if to say: This person threw the royal family's things on the table at will, it is really disrespectful to the royal family, so bold!
Prince, do you want your subordinates to arrest him and punish him for disrespecting the royal family?
Ji Tianxing shook his head slightly.
Continue to look at the paintings on the wall...... As recognized as the most outstanding crown prince of today's Great Xia, he has dabbled in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Therefore, when he first started to look at calligraphy paintings, he only paid attention to the brushwork skills in calligraphy and painting, and did not delve into their charm and style.
......
Suddenly, an ancient painting in front of him attracted his attention. I vaguely feel that in addition to the extreme use of skills, this painting seems to hide something else.
A flash of inspiration flashed through his mind.
"This painting is called "The Emperors of the Past Dynasties"" Qin Yifan came over to introduce him, "It is 15 inches in length and 160 inches in width, and it was painted in the leisure time of the contemptible people." Due to the larger size, the price is a bit more expensive. If Brother Tai sincerely wants it, he can also bargain......"
In order to strive to be similar to the original work, when Qin Yifan painted "Pictures of Emperors of the Past Dynasties", he used high-quality silk silk to paint the paper. There are forty-two figures on the painting, and thirteen emperors...... It took him half a month to complete the whole painting, which can be said to be his painstaking work.
Such a painting must fetch a lot of money.
The calligraphy and paintings hanging on Qin Yifan's walls are not what people imagine, they can draw a few ten paintings and write a few ten paintings every day.
Except, of course, for small works.
Yifan Jingzhai has been open for a total of 12 years, and none of his major works have been sold. Now that he saw that someone was finally interested, and he was a rich man who could afford a high price, Qin Yifan took the initiative to introduce him. If the painting is sold, it will keep him open for three years.
"Uh-huh. Ji Tianxing nodded slightly, the aura that had just flashed in his mind was disturbed by Qin Yifan, and said,
"Your "Picture of Emperors of the Past Dynasties" portrays the emperors very well, and their different inner worlds and character traits are expressed. Moreover, the characteristics of the thirteen emperors are all different, none of them are repeated, and Brother Tai's painting skills are really admirable!"
Ji Tianxing also has research on calligraphy and painting, and according to Qin Yifan's systematic realm, he should have reached the first realm, and he is clumsy. Just a primer.
As the crown prince, he not only had to study the art of war, learn to deal with national affairs, but also practice the Chiming Emperor's scriptures...... Being able to get started in calligraphy and painting is also very remarkable.
"Brother Tai is really a person who knows the goods!" Qin Yifan was pleasantly surprised, after more than ten years, he finally met someone who really understood his painting.
Unlike Li Qinglu and Wang Ying who they met some time ago, they couldn't say anything else after reading his works, except for saying a good word.
I made a decision in my heart that if he really wanted to buy it later, he could be charged a little less.
"Brother Tai's painting ......" Ji Tianxing said, "Contemptible Ji Tianxing, Brother Tai's noble surname?"
"The surname is Qin. Qin Yifan said. Hearing him say that his surname was Ji, he immediately remembered Ji Wuji and Ji Wuyang, a pair of rich brothers and sisters.
"Brother Qin's picture of the emperors of the past dynasties, some kings have a kingly bearing, magnificent demeanor, and some emperors, although they wear crowns and yellow robes, are obscene and mediocre. Ji Tianxing said. At the beginning, he was called Brother Tai, but now he is called Brother Qin, and his title has changed.
"The one who has the bearing of a king, that is the Ming Jun, the obscene and mediocre one, the king of the dead country. Qin Yifan said, "Ming Jun and the king of the dead country painted together, which is the so-called 'seeing good enough to quit evil, seeing evil enough to think of virtuous'"
"Brother Qin's paintings are not only technical, but also have far-reaching intentions. Ji Tianxing said.
The two chatted about painting together, and the conversation was very speculative. Hang Yu Chi Boren on the side and do nothing. I thought with hatred in my heart: This official is also the history of Yunzhou Thorn, and Maple Leaf Town is under the rule of this official, you, a small citizen of Maple Town, actually ignore me?"
However, seeing the speculation that the crown prince was talking to him, he didn't dare to attack.
"Brother Qin, this painting of yours, the aesthetics of color are at its peak, the lines are slender and straight, and the charm of the emperors is depicted one by one, it is indeed a rare masterpiece, and it is also a masterpiece...... Unexpectedly, the small Maple Leaf Town actually hid such a calligraphy and painting master as Brother Qin. ”
"Calligraphy and painting are not counted, just graffiti. Qin Yifan became humble, "Brother Ji is ready to buy my painting? This painting, ten taels of gold, you can take it away." ”
"Ten taels of gold is not a problem. Ji Tianxing said, "However, I still have to take a closer look." ”
"Brother Ji, please. Qin Yifan said. Selling calligraphy and painting works is not like selling vegetables, customers can pick them up and go. Calligraphy and painting need to be appreciated slowly, until the customer has appreciated all the wonders of it, and finally will pay. This time is often an hour or two.
Qin Yifan was not in a hurry, no longer bothered, and let him appreciate it slowly.
Ji Tianxing stared at the "Diagram of Emperors of the Past Dynasties", focusing on one of the emperors, and suddenly the inspiration just now appeared in his mind again.
