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

Chen Yang breathed out slightly. It was really unimaginable that this forger could even do such a small thing. I really don't know if he will find the next place. Thinking of this, Chen Yang moved the magnifying glass along the scroll and came to the second place where the authenticity of the painting could be identified, which was the tree trunk in the foreground.

Among the trees in the foreground, there is Fan Kuan's hidden inscription, "Chen Fan Kuanzhi". In later generations, Chen Yang saw the hidden inscription of this painting with his own eyes when it was exhibited in the museum. It's not the kind you can see through glass, but the real thing you can see directly. Of course, that was because of the need for work at the time. Let's put it this way, these four small characters were difficult to read due to the age of the handwriting. With a magnifying glass and the guidance of relevant personnel, Chen Yang could barely read them.

There is also considerable controversy about this hidden money. Some experts believe that the words "Chen Fan Kuanzhi" were found on the tree trunks in the painting. Since the style of the painting itself is similar to Fan Kuan's painting style, some contemporary scholars use this to identify it. Some people think that this is Fan Kuan's work; others think that the inscription "Chen Fan Kuan Zhi" itself is very suspicious.

They believe that Fan Kuan was not a court painter, but lived at the foot of Taihua Rock and Linlin in Zhongnan. Fan Kuan did not work for the emperor, and unlike court painters whose works were dedicated to the emperor, his paintings did not need to use the word "chen". For example, in Fan Kuan's collection of "Travel to Xishan", there is no word "chen"! In addition to other painting histories, Mi Fu recorded that he saw a landscape painting by Fan Kuan in Dantu's monk's room. "The inscription 'Original Painting by Fan Kuan' beside the waterfall was written by a young man," and there is no word "Chen".

Secondly, even if Fan Kuan's name was heard by the emperor and he had no choice but to submit the painting according to the imperial edict, he could have inscribed it openly and openly where the emperor could see it, and there was no need to be so secretive! And to proclaim one's vassal status on a tree trunk that is mottled with ink and riddled with knots would be arrogant, unserious, and disrespectful to the Holy One!

In addition, the concepts of making and painting are completely different. From the Five Dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty, it was not popular for painters to make inscriptions on paintings. Even the inscriptions often used "such-and-such brush", "such-and-such painting", or just their names. At the same time, It also cited many examples of calligraphy and painting masters at that time, such as Cui Bai's "Double Happiness Picture", Yan Wengui's "View of Xishan Tower", Zhao Lingran's "Huzhuang Qingxia Picture Scroll", Li Tang's "Wanhe Pine Wind Picture", etc. "A certain stroke".

The only person whose inscriptions on Northern Song Dynasty paintings used the word "Zhi" was Song Huizong. Zhao Ji's inscription "Imperial System and Combined Letters" can be seen on many existing Northern Song Dynasty court paintings. The "imperial" in Zhao Gui's inscription refers to poetry, not painting. For example, the section in the "Hibiscus and Golden Pheasant Picture" is "Combined with the Book of Xuanhe Hall". Zhao Ju's "Xianglong Stone Picture" contains the words "imperial system, imperial painting and calligraphy". Therefore, it can be inferred that the meanings of system and painting at that time were fundamentally different. Chen Fan Kuanzhi was the reason why later forgers saw too much of Zhao Ji's calligraphy. And deliberately artificial.

Finally, the overall brushwork in "Snowy Scenery and Cold Forest" is thick and clumsy. The only character that appears in the painting, as well as the water mouth and buildings are all the same. Only the four characters have a rigid shape and the brushstrokes are sharp and sharp. Harsh! Looking back at "Travel in Streams and Mountains", the trees, mountains and rocks in the painting are thick and vigorous with brushwork. They are vigorous and resolute in large areas, like thousands of troops rushing unstoppable. However, the details such as traveling figures, buildings, bridges, river outlets, and gravel on the river beach can be detailed with brushes. Lift it up, retract and release it from heavy to fine, and control the pen freely. And under this circumstance, the shape of Fan Kuan is free and easy, and the pen is still relatively thick and strong, not slender.

People from the two groups argued for more than ten years. Finally, after experts continued to search for supporting information, they found relevant evidence from the "Xuanhe Painting Book" and proved that this "Snow Scenery and Cold Forest" is Fan Kuan's authentic work.

But now Chen Yang doesn't need to explain this to them. He only needs to look at the tree trunk to see if there are the four words "Chen Fan Kuan Zhi" on it, and he will know the authenticity of the painting. If there is another one, the only explanation is , this painting was stolen from the museum and sold! But if this is the case, then what will I see in the future? Fake?

The magnifying glass slowly moved to the tree trunk in the foreground. As it moved, Chen Yang held his breath and checked bit by bit. When he saw that there was nothing on the tree trunk, Chen Yang's hanging heart was relieved and he came out again. After taking a long breath, he put down the magnifying glass in his hand, silently took off his gloves, and a smile appeared on his face.

When Mr. Xiong looked at Chen Yang, his heart skipped a beat. Could this be a fake? But no matter how you look at it, it is an authentic work!

"How is it, Chen Yang, you are the leader of the younger generation in the past two years. After watching it for so long, tell me what you think." Old Xiong asked, staring at Chen Yang.

Chen Yang was about to speak. Song Qingyun glanced at Chen Yang from the side and spoke first, "Mr. Xiong, you really think highly of him. He is a young man. He has only been in the industry for two years. He has some abilities and a little luck. His words Don’t take it personally!”

After Song Qingyun said this, Chen Yang understood what was going on. Song Qingyun was worried that he would offend Mr. Xiong, so he was reminding himself. Although I don't know who Mr. Xiong is, seeing that Song Qingyun is so respectful to him, it means he is some kind of big shot.

However, Song Qingyun's words really reminded Chen Yang that only he knew the hidden situation in the tree trunk. No one else knew about it in this era. It cannot be used as evidence. Even if he told it, no one would believe it. On the contrary, it will offend people.

Thinking of this, Chen Yang smiled slightly, "Mr. Xiong, I am young and inexperienced. I have never seen such a good thing. This is Fan Kuan's masterpiece. I just want to take a closer look."

"And I'm not proficient in calligraphy and painting. If it's porcelain or other things, I might be able to tell a little bit about it. This..." Chen Yang smiled and waved his hand, "I can't see Fan Kuan's calligraphy and painting with my eyesight, no. , I can’t understand it at all!”

After hearing what Chen Yang said, Mr. Xiong nodded silently, and then a smile appeared on his face. You, Chen Yang, don’t understand calligraphy and painting. If you don’t understand, there will be no one in the world who understands calligraphy and painting! If you don’t understand calligraphy and painting, how did you miss out on the Song Dynasty calligraphy and Li and Tang silk scripts?

"In this case," no matter what Chen Yang saw, Mr. Xiong didn't want to waste time anymore and said to several people, "then just write down the price in your heart on the paper. The starting price is five hundred thousand for one pass. The highest bidder wins!”

After hearing what Mr. Xiong said, several people sat on their chairs and started thinking. They felt relieved to have Mr. Xiong here, but the price was a bit...

Song Qingyun didn't need to think about it at all and just folded the note up. He couldn't conclude that it was a fake, but he didn't come here for this painting, so Song Qingyun wasn't interested at all. The purpose of his coming here was just that. It’s the Xuande Furnace!

The middle-aged fat man, the old man, and another man, this is mainly their competition. The middle-aged fat man looked up at a few people and saw Song Qingyun sitting on a chair drinking tea. He guessed that he was not going to participate. This would mean that there was one less opponent. It seemed that this guy couldn't offer much money. If you have more than 100,000 yuan, then your competitor is this old man. How much money can he offer?

As Mr. Xiong clapped, several people handed the notes to Mr. Xiong. Mr. Xiong opened them one by one. Song Qingyun didn't write the price, which meant giving up. Mr. Xiong showed the blank note to everyone, indicating that Song Qingyun should give up the painting.

"Boss Shang," Mr. Xiong opened another piece of paper with 700,000 written on it. Mr. Xiong took the note and showed it to everyone, "700,000!"

"Brother Meng, bid 800,000!"

"The last one," Mr. Xiong picked up the note from the middle-aged fat man, opened it and took a look, then raised his head and smiled at the middle-aged fat man, "Boss Guo's move is indeed extraordinary, one million and one hundred thousand, amazing!"

Having said this, Mr. Xiong cupped his fists at the middle-aged fat man and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Boss Guo, this picture of snow scene and cold forest is now yours!"

"Admit it, admit it!" The middle-aged fat man stood up with a big grin, smiled and clasped his fists to express his gratitude to several people. Then he walked to the table, where someone had already put the scroll away and put it in a wooden box. Boss Guo grinned widely and took the wooden box with both hands, smiling happily.

"Mr. Xiong, thank you very much. Can I leave now?"

Old Xiong nodded slightly, indicating that he could leave. Chen Yang looked on with some curiosity. This fat man didn't know what kind of business he was in. He was so rich. Why did he leave after buying one? Song Qingyun explained to Chen Yang from the side that on the second floor of the Bao Pavilion, no matter what your identity is or how much money you have, you can only take away one item.

“The explanation they gave is that just because you have money, you can’t get all the good stuff!”

As Song Qingyun explained to Chen Yang, the staff took out another brocade box about ten centimeters long from the back. This box was much prettier than the one just now. Mr. Xiong opened the box and took a look at the items inside, then raised his head and smiled at Song Qingyun, "Come on, everyone, come forward and take a look!"

I saw Mr. Xiong carefully taking out a Tianji'er Gui-style stove from inside!

"In the Xuande year of the Ming Dynasty, the Tianjier Gui furnace was created!"
