Chen Yang looked at the painting in front of him and frowned tightly. He had definitely seen this painting before, so why couldn't he remember it? First of all, this is definitely not Zhao Mengfu's painting of mandarin ducks in Tingcao. This can be seen from the mandarin ducks in the painting. If Zhao Mengfu painted it like this, he would not be the same as everyone else. Secondly, this fat mandarin duck should have been seen in his previous life. But whose painting is it?

When looking at the painting, there is no seal, only an inscription: Fei Qianxu enjoys his life, and he lives in Tingcao and enjoys leisurely life. The carp on the wave surface is about to rise in the wind, and the ripple pattern reflects the brilliant light crystal. Xin Chou grew up to the middle of the month, so he imitated Meng Fu's picture, using the picture inscribed by Ding You to rhyme it into the beginning of the frame of Shi Shu, and attached the previous painting on the left. I occasionally sketched from life when I came to the Cottage Grotto, and all expressed my expressions according to the official method. Wen Yuan is happy to be in a relationship, and his abode is crystal. Royal pen.

Wait, Yubi?

Chen Yang seemed to have thought of something. At this time, Zhu Yuyan glanced at Chen Yang from the side and curled her lips slightly, "Junior brother, aren't you famous for picking up missed calligraphy and paintings? Can't we see it? I thought you were very good!" "

"Authentic work of Qianlong?" Chen Yang glanced at Zhu Yuyan doubtfully and whispered.

After hearing this, Zhu Yuyan became excited. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Chen Yang with a smile. Then she raised her little hand and gently put it on Chen Yang's shoulder, "Okay, junior brother, how did you see it?"

Chen Yang chuckled, "Let's talk about this paper first. If I'm not mistaken, this is a plum blossom jade paper, right?"

Zhu Yuyan smiled and nodded. The plum blossom jade paper was first made during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. The paper was made in the form of a bucket, and the raw material was leather paper. After powdering, waxing, and calendering, the broken ice pattern and plum blossom pattern were painted on it with gold. High-grade paper. There is a small red rectangular mark of "Plum Blossom Jade Edition" printed on the lower left corner of the paper. During the Qianlong period, the production and processing of this paper became more sophisticated, and some became special paper for the palace, representing the highest craftsmanship of papermaking at that time.

After finishing talking about the paper, Chen Yang pointed to the painting scroll. The rosewood painting scroll was also standard in the Qing palace. An imitation painting uses these two good things, and at the end of the inscription, it is clearly written with imperial brush.

There are various indications that this is a Qing Dynasty emperor imitating Zhao Mengfu's mandarin duck painting with Tingcao Mandarin. Among the Qing Dynasty emperors, only one person was willing to imitate other people's paintings, and that was Qianlong. Qianlong was a man whose calligraphy was passable, but his paintings were really unflattering. Although he was not strong enough, he was very willing to copy, and often copied some of everyone's works.

"The only person who can paint a mandarin duck into a big goose is probably Emperor Qianlong," Chen Yang smiled and clapped his hands, "In other words, this is a work copied by Qianlong!"

"Not bad!" Zhu Yuyan chuckled beside her, "You, my junior brother, really have two brushes. If you can't even see this, I will suspect that you have picked up the moisture in Li Tang's silk!"

Chen Yang watched Zhu Yuyan put away the painting, and couldn't help but feel envious. He must know that Qianlong's copy of Zhao Mengfu's painting of mandarin ducks and grasses was auctioned for more than 2015 million in 1200. Although that piece has Qianlong's seal on it and this one does not, its value will not be lower, but rather higher.

As we all know, Qianlong was a stamping madman. Not to mention other people's paintings, he even stamped his own paintings like crazy, so why not this one? At first, in the Forbidden City, several paintings were found without seals, and these paintings were all copied. So everyone speculated that it was Qianlong who did it. After all, this emperor was the only one who was so willing to copy other people's paintings.

Later, I found records in the daily life records. This was intentional by Emperor Qianlong. He wanted to pass on the paintings he copied. Of course, he also knew that putting a seal on his paintings would be passed down, but he also wanted to see if, without his seal, these paintings could continue to be handed down and become better because of their high level. They were valuable, so many of the paintings copied by Qianlong had no seals at all, and were just thrown away in the warehouse by his descendants.

I really don’t know who gave Qianlong the confidence, but it’s probably because he didn’t have a seal that the paintings he copied are preserved in the Forbidden City.

"I'm thinking about one thing now," Chen Yang crossed his shoulders and glanced at Zhu Yuyan, "Lu Guangming's eyesight is not particularly bad. How did he sell this painting to you? How much did you spend to buy it?"

Zhu Yuyan put away the paintings and explained to Chen Yang with a smile, "He didn't notice it at all. He just thought it was imitated by someone in the late Qing Dynasty."

"That's not right," Chen Yang frowned slightly, "Isn't the inscription on it written with Yubi at the end? Everyone in the antique shop knows that if it is written with Yubi, it can be sold easily?"

Zhu Yuyan rolled her eyes at Chen Yang and said that Chen Yang still didn't understand, "It's just that he didn't see that this was the word "Yu Bi", or in other words, he saw that there was no seal on it, so he didn't see the word "Yu Bi" at all. Take it to heart, otherwise he won’t easily think of it as someone from the late Qing Dynasty.”

"You also know that he told me it was from the late Qing Dynasty, so what he was thinking about was the early Republic of China!"

Chen Yang nodded after listening. This is possible, because there are many fakes on the market that were made or copied by people after the fall of the Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Lu Guangming designated this painting as a fake that was copied in the early Republic of China. , and because the two mandarin ducks were painted like this, he designated them as fakes from the early Republic of China.

"Then what are you going to do with this painting now?" Chen Yang asked Zhu Yuyan, "You have to know that this painting is not as easy to deal with as the porcelain I picked up."

Zhu Yuyan blinked her eyes, with a smirk on her lips, "What do you think, I take this painting and sell it to him when I go back? He has to kneel down and call me master!"

After hearing this, Chen Yang rolled his eyes a few times, hooked his fingers to Zhu Yuyan, motioning for Zhu Yuyan to come over, and whispered a few words in her ear. After Zhu Yuyan listened, she turned around and looked at Chen Yang with a bad smile, and then something appeared on her face. He said as if he understood, "I understand, junior brother, do you have a grudge against him?"

"Then don't worry about it, just say okay?"

"Of course, we are from the same school!" Zhu Yuyan smiled slightly, then stretched out her hand to Chen Yang, "Take the money! Fifty thousand!"

Chen Yang rolled his eyes at her, and said that he was from the same sect, and now he was asking for money from him!

"Who brings so much cash when they go out? I can't steal your money!" Chen Yang slapped Zhu Yuyan's little hand away, "I can just give it to you when I get back, you go and talk first!"

"That's not possible. My brothers have settled the accounts. One yard is the other. How can I deceive others?" Zhu Yuyan said with a smile on her face, "I can go with you to withdraw the money!"

Thirty minutes later, Zhu Yuyan walked into Lu Guangming's shop with her hands behind her back and a smile, "Hello, boss!"
