Appreciation gold hand

Chapter 76 What is the purpose

He Ran said: "Well, what's the matter, could it be that you found some famous painting and wanted me to appreciate it?"

"Actually, it's not really a painting. It was painted by a literati named Hou Zhilin in the Qing Dynasty." He stretched out his finger and pointed in the direction, leading He Ran and Qin Qianruo to walk forward.

He Ran frowned slightly, and ran through his mind, but didn't think of any information about this Hou Zhilin.

"I don't think I have much culture. I have never heard of this person. Is this person very powerful?"

Qin Qianruo on the side also said: "I only know a few famous people who draw well, and I don't know much about the rest."

"Hehe, in fact, this person has no skills. Hou Zhilin was a juren in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. His official position was not high, and he had no character. Surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was the only one who left the whip first to please the future master. He was servile and servile, so he got an official position, was despised by his blind date elders and companions, and the highest in his life was only a fourth-rank official. And he died of Hualiu disease. Human The product is really not good."

The corners of He Ran's and Qin Qianruo's mouths twitched a little, what a useless thing, but the painting is still a famous painting?There are still people chasing and looking around?This is not a joke?

"There are not many paintings by this guy that have been handed down. They are indeed worthless. They have no artistic value at all." Zhao Xianzong smiled and walked to the corner, where there was an ink painting, mountains, rivers and boats, the composition was very ordinary , the same, it is estimated that they have seen at least hundreds of similar paintings.Basically, it's the level that people can forget after seeing it, and it doesn't make any sense at all.

Even if He Ran and Qin Qianruo are not very interested in traditional Chinese painting, they both feel deeply familiar with it. This is too ordinary. What is this painting about?But what is very surprising is that this painting is full of people. These people, who could be regarded as celebrities in the antique world, are all surrounding this painting, discussing and commenting in low voices.

These people seem to attach great importance to the picture scroll; "I guess you have such an expression. But, I have to say that this old thing is really very lucky. During the Kangxi period, he once visited the south and asked those officials to go See you, although his character is not good at all, he was invited here as the first batch of officials who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. After drinking too much, several literati recited poems and painted paintings on the spot, and he was pushed to give money. I painted an ink landscape. Emperor Kangxi happened to see it, and then picked up a brush with great interest and drew a few strokes on the painting."

After hearing this, He Ran laughed and said, "Oh, it turns out that this painting is not valuable because it was painted by Hou Zhilin, but because it has an emperor's handwriting on it, so it is so popular?"

"Exactly." Zhao Xianzong said: "And this is not the most important point. According to legend, after the emperor finished speaking, he told Hou Zhilin that there are very meaningful things in the few strokes he drew, let Hou Zhilin savor them carefully. Of course Hou Zhilin was ecstatic, because the emperor took a fancy to him, but he went home with the painting and didn't sleep for three days and three nights. He kept observing, almost blinding his eyes. What does it mean. And he never saw the emperor again, and was gradually forgotten by the people above, but that painting has not been forgotten."

He Ran understood, because it involved the matter of the emperor's old son, so those literati naturally attached great importance to it.Even if the emperor didn't have any special meaning, he could still come up with hundreds of thousands of ideas, let alone the emperor said that the things he drew had meaning?So all kinds of rumors started to spread.

Not only the officials are guessing, but those officials are also guessing. The officials above forcibly took this painting and refused to give it. Then the superiors wanted to see and continue to study, and finally this painting was tossed around. When they arrived in the capital, the people did not know when an exaggerated idea appeared, that is, the emperor depicted a treasure map in the painting.

The clues to the rewards of these treasures to Hou Zhilin were on the painting, but Hou Zhilin didn't find it, so there was no way to find that treasure.

After hearing this, He Ran laughed and said, "That's impossible. With a few strokes, there is no treasure. Besides, I have never heard of Kangxi's calligraphy and painting. It's just like that. If you're not the emperor, who would pursue him .”

"Yes. I also know it's impossible. I originally wanted to say it as a joke, but who knew that this painting would end up in Wang Shaolong's hands after tossing and turning. Willing to pay $100 million for it. I'm starting to get a little worried."

"Oh, that's it."

"I thought, if it's just a rumor, this painting has no precious value at all. If you are willing to buy it, it's fine. It's a scam for foreigners, but if it really contains something meaningful, then it will be taken away by foreigners. Yes, the gain outweighs the loss. One day, I think we antique people will regret it."

He Ran nodded: "I understand, I'll go and have a look now, if it's really worth anything, I'll buy it?"

"I'll just buy it." Zhao Xianzong said: "I just don't want to have such a regret. If the good things of our country are spread to their country, it will be over, what do you think?"

He Ran agreed: "Okay, I'll go and have a look now."

Zhao Xianzong said: "I'll talk to that buyer and see if I can find out anything." He walked to the corner and found a blond foreigner to talk to.

He Ran looked at the foreigner, but couldn't tell what kind of person he was. He was dressed in a suit and had a serious face.He didn't intend to join in the fun, so he walked to the front of the painting and reached out to touch the edge of the painting.

But he didn't touch it, and a hand behind him blocked He Ran, preventing He Ran from touching it.He Ran looked back, Zhang Chao and Jia Hang were looking at him with half-smiles, watching the painting closely.He Ran was not allowed to get close to him, and it looked like he deserved a beating.

He Ran said: "What's the matter, you are not on the sidelines, and you came to me to find trouble? Could it be that you have suffered too little before, so you want to find trouble?"

When he was talking, he noticed the surroundings from the corners of his eyes and brows, and everyone paid attention to him.Ouyang Xiong, Wang Shaolong, Wang Kui'an, and others were all quietly commenting on the situation here.

"No." Zhang Chao said with a smile: "We all know you are very powerful, so I came here to tell you our admiration. There is no other meaning, you don't need to think too much. I just want to say that this painting has already If someone buys it, don't get involved."

He Ran said, "You'd better get out of the way. I must see this painting, don't make fun of it."

Jia Hang said, "So what if we don't get out of the way? What can you do to us, just kill us?"

He Ran looked at Jia Hang, and didn't bother to pay attention. This guy is already being targeted. Sooner or later, someone will deal with him, so he won't make a move.It's just that they have just reconciled, but they want to fight again, is it intentional, and what is the purpose?
Zhang Chao whispered a few words to Jia Hang.

Jia Hang became angry: "Am I afraid of He Ran? It's ridiculous, we don't need to talk nonsense with her, just drive her out!" Jia Hang said, going to tease He Ran, still looking back at the bodyguard standing on the edge, wanting to send He Ran away. Ran Ge kicked him out: "How on earth do you do things? You can let such a person in without an invitation! How did you get in? Hurry up and drive away!"

Zhang Guodong was standing not far away, and he could hear it directly, but he just pretended not to know, and didn't get involved in this matter. Zhang Guodong kept arguing, but he didn't directly make a move. Jia Hang pulled He Ran and shouted He asked the bodyguards to drive He Ran out.He Ran wasn't angry, it was easy to deal with these people, he just blew them away with one hand. , staggered and fell on the bodyguard behind him.

Jia Hang began to curse: "Your sister, you kidnapped me last time, and you still want to bully me now? Do you really think you can bully people with a little skill? Do you think I will be afraid of you!"

He Ran said: "Don't be like a fool, you have been used by someone as a gunman, and you are still barking here, just stay for a while."

"You are the dog, I will kill you!" Jia Hang said and rushed over again, He Ran didn't let him approach at all, grabbed his clothes and threw him out.Several bodyguards caught Jia Hang together.Jia Hang groaned, sprained his ankle, and tears came down from the pain, but he still didn't back down, and continued clamoring for these people to beat He Ran.

But the Zhexi bodyguards were all invited by Wang Shaolong, so how could they help a guest and beat another person for no reason?So there's no point in doing it.Wang Shaolong finally came over, and quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, it's a misunderstanding, please don't make noise, Mr. Jia, please come this way, I'll let you see your ankle." Wang Shaolong didn't even bother. He also spoke directly to He Ran, neither helping Jia Hang nor He Ran.

Jia Hang glared at He Ran: "You wait for me!" But he followed Wang Shaolong obediently and left.

He Ran ignored Jia Hang, but stared at Zhang Chao closely with terrifying eyes.It made Zhang Chao tremble a little.

"Look at what I'm doing!"

"What do you think? I see what you are doing?"

Qin Qianruo wanted to speak several times, but He Ran stopped him with a wave of his hand. Now he roughly knew what was going on: "Zhang Chao, how much do you know about this matter?"

Zhang Chao was taken aback: "Who are you? He Ran, have you drunk too much?"

He Randao: "You understand very well, don't delay the matter, otherwise I don't know if Jia Hang is dead or not, and you will definitely not survive. If you want to find someone to deal with me, you have to see if you have that fate." Said When it was over, she took Qin Qianruo and went to see the painting.
