Rebirth 93: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Bai Fumei

The old man placed this plate on the table. It was a yellow pastel butterfly plate with a 囍 pattern. The open mouth of the plate was slightly tilted outward, with curved walls and rounded feet. The plate has a pastel butterfly pattern on a yellow ground with four characters "囍" in between. The word "Happiness" is outlined with red color and filled with gold color. The butterfly pattern is first outlined with ink color. There are four double "Xi" characters in gold color with red border between the butterflies and filled with gold color material. The outer wall of the plate is painted with three patterns of peony, passion flower and lotus on a white ground in pastel colors. The edges are outlined with ink lines and filled with colored materials. The foot is inscribed with the four-character regular script "Tongzhi Year System" in red color.

Chen Yang turned the plate over first and took a look at the markings inside the circle. Most of the markings on Tongzhi's wedding porcelain were alum red. There was no problem with the markings and the carcass. Then Chen Yang picked up the plate and looked carefully at the four characters on the front of the plate.

At first glance, the character "囍" looks like alum red, but in fact the inside is filled with gold color. After a few glances, there is no problem with the gold color. Chen Yang puts the plate back on the table, "One, two, sprinkle... .." Under the surprised gazes of everyone, Chen Yang began to count the butterflies on the plate!

The old man blinked his eyes a few times and stared blankly at Chen Yang counting the butterflies on the plate; Zhu Yuyan was also stunned, and even followed the direction of Chen Yang's fingers and counted silently with Chen Yang in her heart; Song Qingyun wrinkled slightly He frowned, what is Chen Yang doing? Fortunately, this is a plate. If this is a big vat, if you want to count the butterflies on it, you have to wait until tomorrow morning!

Chen Yang's identification method this time made Song Qingyun very puzzled. There was no problem with the glaze color, the base, and the shape of the vessel. Moreover, the gold color on the dark red "囍" characters was not added later. It was possible that it was It is a genuine product. In Chen Yang’s words, there is nothing wrong with this object, so why are we still counting butterflies?

The reason why Chen Yang did this was because he had suffered this loss in his previous life, and it was not other objects, but this yellow-ground pastel butterfly 囍 pattern plate. At that time, the master had just asked him to go out to pick up missing items, and as soon as Chen Yang took action, he picked up several good items in a row, and he instantly felt happy. Until one day, he came across this yellow ground pastel butterfly and 囍 pattern plate. After careful inspection, Chen Yang felt that there was no problem, so he accepted the object. As a result, he thought that he had taken this yellow ground pastel butterfly and 囍 pattern. When the pattern plate was shown to the master, the master inspected it and told himself that it was an old imitation.

"Old imitation?" Chen Yang's head buzzed after hearing this. "Master, look carefully. The alum red model has a gorgeous glaze color. There is no problem with the quality and weight of the body. How can it be an old imitation?"

"The number of butterflies is wrong, it's an odd number!"

"Butterflies...number?"

The pattern of flying colorful butterflies was a common pattern in the Qing court. The butterfly pattern here does not mean "flying together" as we call it today, but the homophony of "butterfly" means longevity. The butterfly pattern used on the emperor's wedding porcelain has the meaning of "hundred years of good fortune". Moreover, the number of dishes used on the wedding porcelain is an even number, and there is no possibility of an odd number. The yellow piece that Chen Yang picked up was missing. The ground pastel butterfly and 囍 pattern plate is in the odd number.

Fifty-two! After Chen Yang finished counting, he couldn't help but exhale, "Fifty-two colorful butterflies, an even number!"

"This is a genuine piece of Tongzhi wedding porcelain. Congratulations, brother!" Chen Yang said with a smile and clasped his fists at the old man.

(Let me guess, has anyone gone back to count the number of butterflies, haha!)

After hearing what Chen Yang said, Song Qingyun and Zhu Yuyan were secretly shocked. They really didn't expect that Chen Yang could think of such details. There are too many butterflies in this pattern of pastel butterflies. No one would pay attention to the number of butterflies. However, Chen Yang noticed this detail, which shows Chen Yang's attentiveness.

"Bah, bang, bang!" Chen Yanggang finished speaking. Before everyone could recover, applause sounded from behind. An old man with a white beard stood behind everyone, "Okay, okay, I haven't seen you for a long time. It’s rare for such a young man to notice the number of butterflies!”

After hearing the sound, several people turned their heads. The old man and the middle-aged fat man hurriedly stood up, bent slightly and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiong, you are here!"

After Song Qingyun saw the old man, he quickly stood up, bent down and clasped his fists, "Old Xiong, I really didn't expect to meet you here. This junior has met Old Xiong."

Looking at Song Qingyun's appearance, Chen Yang was confused. Who was this old man? He had never heard of an antique celebrity named Xiong! Even Song Qingyun was so respectful to him, so he must have a high status, so he and Zhu Yuyan also clasped their fists and saluted Mr. Xiong.

"Qingyun, these two juniors are..." Xiong Lai asked Song Qingyun, pointing at Chen Yang and Zhu Yuyan.

"Old Xiong," Song Qingyun pointed at Chen Yang, "This is Chen Yang, a disciple of my senior brother Du Mingde, and the other is Zhu Yuyan, a disciple of my senior brother Bian Haichun."

After hearing this, Mr. Xiong's eyes lit up and he looked up and down at Chen Yang and Zhu Yuyan. These are two very famous young people in recent years. I didn't expect to meet them here. Song Kaiyuan is so lucky!

"What? Are you Chen Yang? Are you Song Qingyun, Boss Song?" The middle-aged fat man froze in place after hearing Song Qingyun's words. Chen Yang and Song Qingyun are both celebrities in this antique circle, and their eyesight for picking up leaks is much better than mine.

Hearing the names of Song Qingyun and Chen Yang, the middle-aged fat man looked back at the Tianqiu bottle. Needless to say, his bottle was definitely a fake. It seemed that the 100,000 yuan had been wasted again. Hey!

Zhu Yuyan glanced at Chen Yang from the side. Unexpectedly, her junior brother was quite famous here. Hehe, he will have a good life in the future!

"Qingyun," Mr. Xiong smiled and stroked his beard, "If I guess correctly, you are here for the Xuande Furnace this time, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't have entered this precious attic!"

Song Qingyun smiled sheepishly, then waved his hand, "Mr. Xiong, I didn't know that you were always in charge of this treasure attic. If I knew, wouldn't I have been here a long time ago?"

"I've wasted a lot of good things, Mr. Xiong, why don't you tell me, so that I can come and support you!"

Mr. Xiong smiled and waved his hand, gesturing for everyone to sit down and talk, and then explained to Song Qingyun that this was not his place, and he was also entrusted by others. Ever since Baogong was established, some people had been looking for me, wanting me to come out and support Baogong, but I refused at first.

"Qingyun, you also know that I am old now, and there is no need to ruin my reputation for the rest of my life for irrelevant things," Mr. Xiong said with helplessness on his face, "I have tried to talk to people several times, but I have rejected them. But then something happened to my family, and the owner of Renjiabao Loft helped me. This is the hardest favor to repay. If they don’t ask, I want to come!”

Song Qingyun certainly understood what Mr. Xiong meant, so he curiously asked Mr. Xiong about the owner. The owner of this Bao Pavilion was too mysterious. He wanted to ask Mr. Xiong if he had seen it before. Mr. Xiong frowned and shook his head, saying that he had never seen it before. I heard that he was not a local, but he had some connections here and was just helping him take care of it.

"Okay," Mr. Xiong said a few words, then looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost time. "Look at today's items. You spent money, so you can't let it go in vain!"

After finishing speaking, Mr. Xiong shouted to the back. After a while, someone came out with a box containing a scroll. He opened the box, took out the scroll from inside, and placed it on a long table next to him. Then he stood aside and smiled, indicating that everyone could come and watch.

Mr. Xiong stood up first and walked to the long table, opened the scroll and slowly spread it on the table. Song Qingyun and Chen Yang also came over. As the scroll was opened, Chen Yang became more and more surprised as he read it.

The content of this painting is that the mountains and forests after snow are as quiet as night and vast and majestic. The scenery of mountains and forests after snow in northern winter is clear at a glance. In the painting, dead branches, cold forests, bridges, houses, and lake banks are all covered with falling snow, which highlights the theme of freezing weather. There is a temple hidden on the mountainside, which adds a solemn and quiet feeling to the painting. There is a house courtyard at the foot of the mountain, and one person opens the door to enjoy the snow. , injecting a touch of life into the cold picture.

There was no inscription, seal, or collection seal on this painting, but even so, Chen Yang recognized it at a glance. This was Fan Kuan's snow scene and cold forest painting!

Fan Kuan, also known as Zhongzheng, has the courtesy name Zhongli. A famous "Northern School" landscape painting master in the Song Dynasty. There is no precise record of his birth and death in history. He was mainly active in the early Northern Song Dynasty. According to painting history records, he was born around the Qianyou period of the Later Han Dynasty in the Five Dynasties and was still alive during the Tiansheng period of Renzong of the Song Dynasty. Engineering landscape.

Fan Kuan is a good drinker, unconventional and able to go deep into life and study nature. He is good at painting landscapes and studied under Jing Hao and Li Cheng. He is able to come up with new ideas and is unique in his field. He attaches great importance to sketching, often living in the mountains and forests, always in danger, observing the misty clouds, windy and gloomy scenery in the morning and evening, and does not stop even if the wind and the cold moon admit his mistake.

People in the Song Dynasty commented that most of his works were majestic and vast. The composition inherited Jing Hao's tradition of "being good at writing about the top of the mountain in the clouds, surrounded by steep mountains". The ink is good at using the dark and thick ink rhyme, which is thick and moist. However, in his later years, he used too much ink and did not distinguish between earth and stone. Although his power was great, it was as dark as twilight liquid. The chapping method is generally called "raindrop chapping". The strokes are straight and shaped like rice. It is also called "sesame chapping". The word "Huawu" is first drawn with iron lines, and then dyed with ink. Later generations called it "iron layer".

Fan Kuan and Li Cheng, two masters, established completely different styles in landscape painting in the early Song Dynasty. They each made outstanding contributions and became the most influential painters at that time. According to the "Xuanhe Painting Book", there are fifty-eight works handed down from generation to generation. Mi Fu's "Painting History" mentions thirty authentic works, such as: "Travel to Xishan", "Guanshan Snow Crossing", "Wanli" "River and Mountains Picture", "Mountains and Ridges Picture", "Snow Mountain Picture", "Snow Scenery and Cold Forest Picture", "Sitting Alone in the River", etc.

The picture in front of them is a picture of a snowy scene and a cold forest. Now everyone doesn't know whether it is authentic or not, they are just watching.

Chen Yang already knew the answer in his heart, but he was just pretending to look at it. According to what he knew, this painting was donated to the museum in 1981, and not to mention the whole country, it can be said that the whole world is like that. An authentic work. Since it is really in a museum, the designated fake in front of you is just a matter of looking at what is wrong with it.

Chen Yang frowned as he watched, "No, this...why does it feel more and more real the more I look at it?"
