Chapter 131: Priceless
Shama got straight to the point: "I have long heard the name of 'painting saint', and today I see it is really extraordinary, and I admire it." β
Qin Xiujie smiled and said, "Don't dare, don't dare, may I ask Mr. Sha what advice he has here, Qin Mou listened attentively." β
Shama said: "I don't dare to advise, I brought a painting and calligraphy today, I don't know if it's true or not, please 'painting saint' to give correction." β
Qin Xiujie replied: "Mr. Sha is the owner of the Western Regions Painting Workshop, there must be many treasures, I can't talk about it, you and I appreciate it together." β
Sha Ma unfolded the painting, Qin Xiujie was stunned, and said excitedly for a long time: "This, isn't this Zhou Fang's "Hairpin Lady's Picture"?"
Sha Ma deliberately asked: "Zhou Fang, a great painter of the Tang Dynasty, are you sure that it is his work?"
Qin Xiujie's eyes straightened, and he said to SΓΉ Shama: "You see that the brush used in the painting is simple, the charm is ancient, the character lines are simple, round and powerful, and the colors are rich and rich. There are also Southern Song Dynasty Gaozong Zhao Gou collection of the Southern Song Dynasty 'Shaoxing' bead seal, Southern Song Dynasty Jia Nidao 'Yuesheng' gourd seal. It means that it must be genuine. β
Sha Ma asked, "Since it is Zhou Fang's authentic work, what is the value now?"
Qin Xiujie replied: "Valuable." β
Sha Ma smiled and said, "Okay, it looks like my money is not spent in vain, and Brother Qin also likes "Hairpin Lady" very much, isn't it." β
Qin Xiujie said: "It's not just about liking, it's a treasure of China, you can't find it, you can't ask for it." β
Sha Ma looked at him and suddenly said, "Mr. Qin, if I exchange this painting for a handwritten painting of Mr. Qin, what do you think?"
Qin Xiujie was stunned and looked at him in disbelief.
Sha Ma said: "What I said is true, "Hairpin Lady" is a treasure of China, and I am from the Western Regions, this painting is of little significance to stay in our Western Regions, and it is better to hand it over to Mr. Qin, it can be regarded as a fallen leaf to return to the roots." β
Qin Xiujie's face turned red, but her eyes never left the "Hairpin Lady" for a moment, her hands were trembling, and it took a long time to say, "What kind of painting do you want me to paint?"
Shama replied, "It's also a painting of a lady, a painting of a girl from our Western Regions." β
Qin Xiujie said, "When?"
"I'll set the time, in order to show my sincerity, this "Hairpin Lady" will stay with Mr. Qin first, what do you think?"
"We're sure of it. Qin Xiujie hurriedly agreed.
Qin Xiujie finally took the bait.
The next day, a sedan chair came directly to Qin Xiujie's residence, saying that the boss of Shami Fu came to pick up Mr. Qin to paint, Qin Xiujie did not say a word on the sedan chair, after entering the curtain down, the cover was tight, the sedan chair walked smoothly, Qin Xiujie did not say much, he was also immersed in the great joy of obtaining the "Hairpin Lady", last night did not sleep, put the "Hairpin Lady" After looking at it, this 46 cm long and 180 cm wide painting depicts the scene of several brightly dressed noble women enjoying flowers and visiting the garden at the turn of spring and summer, showing people the leisurely life of these ladies in the quiet and empty garden, entertaining with white cranes and butterflies.
The painting's depiction of the pattern of the garment and the pattern of the dress is written in letter, which seems to be regular but very fluid. Among them, the depiction of the figure's hair bun and sideburns is too fine and hairy, the layers are clear, and the pen has a tendency to fly. Especially for the treatment of tulle, the next pen, the soft and transparent clothes, the smooth and delicate texture of the lady's skin are painted realistically and simple, into the wood.
Qin Xiujie pondered while watching, repeatedly comparing his own gaps, and finding a way to learn from it, "Hairpin Lady" uses heavy color, showing the rich and neat style of Tang Dynasty figure painting, looking at it, it is like seeing the epitome of the entire Tang Dynasty's Yongrong and luxury, showing the atmosphere of wealth and glory. It is the same as the "Qinhuai Dancing Girl" created by himself, and each has its own merits. But there is still a lack of charm in the details, and the dancer's fierce and unrestrained dance posture is not fully displayed.
Qin Xiujie prepared the canvas brush, wanting to find inspiration in the next painting of a dancing girl, and be better in creation.
The sedan chair was carried directly into a large lobby, Qin Xiujie got off the sedan chair and was arranged to sit down at a table before he had time to ask anything, there were snacks and fragrant tea on the table, there was a stage in front of him, there was no audience under the stage, Qin Xiujie was wondering, Shama appeared, he smiled Yingying came over and sat down next to Qin Xiujie, and said: "Mr. Qin, I know that painting should have passion, I specially arranged a performance for Mr., the audience is only me and you, the name of this dance is ' Flying Dance', this dancing girl is called You Qianrou, and she has a stage name called 'Dance Saint'. ββ
Qin Xiujie had vaguely heard the name You Qianrou, she was the new dancer of "Xiaoyao Building", although no one had ever seen her dancing, but now she was famous, and it became the subject of discussion among the dignitaries and nobles who came to the Qinhuai River for ten miles to have fun.
Qin Xiujie's heart sank, and he stood up involuntarily, he suddenly understood the true intentions of this person named Shami Fu, a "Hairpin Lady" made him lose his way, and was taken to "Xiaoyao Building" in a daze.
