"Anxious birds? It's all for the sprinkler family to stand, come one by one! ”

Guo Jing saw that the scene was a little chaotic, and immediately picked up the "scary sword" and swung it...... Of course, the sword is unsheathed, otherwise it will scare everyone away.

The unsheathed Xia Ren Sword was still very scary, and the people who squeezed forward stopped their tracks.

Guo Jing turned his head and asked Liu Wuji, "It's a good time, there are a lot of people who want to buy it." ”

Actually, there are not a few more...... Liu Wuji released ten copies before, and now there are about fourteen or fifteen people wearing big hats following suit.

Liu Wuji pretended to shake the paper fan, and then said, "Hehe, there are more than 20 people, Brother Xiaoyi, how many more books are there?" ”

"It's timely, and there are ten more copies."

"It's not enough...... What to do? ”

Oh, yes? What should I do if demand exceeds supply?

"Then let's raise the price a bit." Guo Jing said, "Or ...... Sell 500 copies? ”

"Okay, just five hundred copies, hurry up if you want, and it will be dawn later."

A copy of 500 is not a copy of a famous artist...... That's a hateful asking price!

But if you don't buy it, it doesn't seem to work. Those who look at the facsimile of "Drunken Arhat" are either painters themselves, or there are calligraphy and painting masters behind them. For them, the original of "Drunken Arhat" is not inevitable, but the facsimile must be obtained.

Because of the facsimile, they or the people behind them can learn the kind of brushwork technique of painting the drunken Arhat's body through copying.

Therefore, the purchase of these 500 pieces is not a facsimile, but a kind of unprecedentedly clever penmanship, so it is not expensive.

Of course, they can also not buy it, and then ask the relationship to find a copy from someone else.

But the debt of favor is worthless? Those who can pay 3,500 to buy a facsimile are not ordinary people, how much face do they have to have to lend the facsimile?

"Five hundred is five hundred, I want it!"

The first to break the silence was Chen Youwen's eldest son Chen Zhen, his father was Hanlin Zhizhi, and his younger brother aimed at the Hanlin Painting Academy, in the final analysis, he still has to rely on painting skills to eat. A new kind of clever brushwork, for them, is simply a must-have.

"Holo." Liu Wuji couldn't see Chen Zhen's face, and didn't know that he was the son of a martial artist's opponent (Wu Haogu and Chen Zhen were not very familiar with each other, so they couldn't hear each other's voices), so he picked up a painting scroll and handed it to Chen Zhen.

Of course, Chen Zhen didn't know that it was Wu Dalang who sold the facsimile, so he didn't hesitate to count out sixty-seven ten-denomination citations.

After Wu Haogu finished the inspection of the intersectional point, Chen Zhen did not leave immediately, but arched his hand and asked: "This big official, I still want to ask a question or two." ”

"Just ask."

"I want to know where this scroll originally came from?"

This question is a bit taboo, a taboo of the ghost market on East Cross Street.

Since the sellers in the ghost market don't show their true faces, the origin of the things they sell is naturally a little unspeakable.

Guo Jing, who was still holding the "scary sword" in his hand, didn't seem to know the rules, so he immediately said: "This, the Sprinkle family will tell you, it originally flowed from the west......"

"Third brother," Liu Wuji shouted, "I can't say that." ”

"Ouch, the Sprinkle family forgot to observe the ...... that was ordered"

"Third brother!" Liu Wuji shouted, and Guo Jing was silent. But the story that needs to be told has already been said.

Guo Jing, who speaks with a Kansai accent, has a "scary sword" in his hand, and his behavior looks like a fighting man, obviously a general of the Western Army. And the "observation" in his mouth doesn't need to be asked, it must be a general of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty. Liu Wuji, who was called by Guo Jing as a scholar who was "Jiyi" and spoke with an accent in Kaifeng, was obviously a staff member of "observation", and he wrote Jiyi's words. There is also a faceless "Yanai", of course, the son of "Observation", who is also the author of these facsimiles.

The place called "West" by the Western Army General is definitely not the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, not the Western Xia, or the Qingtang Tubo.

In other words, the original "Drunken Arhat Picture" came from Western Xia or Qingtang Tubo. Everyone in the calligraphy and painting shop knows that Wu Daozi, the painter of painting, once stayed in Dunhuang for a period of time and participated in the production of Dunhuang cave murals, so it is indeed possible that Wu Daozi left a powder book in Dunhuang. And it is indeed possible that this powder book will flow into the Central Plains again from the Western Xia or Qingtang Dynasty more than 300 years later, and be obtained by a general of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty who guarded the western region......

After the story was over, today's work of Wu Dalang and others was almost over, and the remaining nine copies were sold in a short period of time. Later, Liu Wuji and Guo Jing took the two servants and the 8,000 yuan worth of the paintings from the sale, and left.

And the appearance of Wu Daozi's authentic handwriting and an unprecedented brilliant brushwork also caused an uproar in the Kaifeng Mansion calligraphy and painting shop, which was not very calm.

……

Kaifeng Mansion, in an ear room close to the prison of the mansion, Chen Youwen, a waiter at the Hanlin Painting Academy, was holding a bowl of tea, looking at a middle-aged man who was white and fat, with a somewhat messy goat beard, and dressed as a scholar.

"The Arhat in this painting...... It's just like a real person! The fat white man unfolded a picture scroll in his hand and was carefully examining it. And this Arhat's clothes are indeed Wu Daidang's brushwork, which is an orchid leaf drawing. ”

Chen Youwen took a sip of tea and continued to look at the man, "Brother Xiang Dao is really good eyesight...... I don't know what Brother Xiang Dao thinks of the original of "Drunken Arhat"? ”

He called "Brother Xiang Dao" is the father of Wu Haogu and Wu Haowen brothers, the official tooth of calligraphy and painting in Kaifeng Mansion, and Wu Chengzhi, the owner of the Wujia Painting Zhai on Panlou Street (Wu Cheng's Zigzag Xiangdao).

Although Wu Chengzhi's painting skills are not as good as everyone, because his grandfather was Wu Zongyuan, the first person to paint Wu Jiaxiang in the Northern Song Dynasty, he is very good at studying Wu Jiaxiang. If you talk about the understanding of Wu Jiaxiang (not Wu Daozi's painting alone), there are few people in the entire Great Song Dynasty who can compare with him.

"Looking at the clothes of the Arhats, they are either painted by the saints or painted by his disciples...... But looking at the body of this arhat, it should be the work of a holy disciple. ”

Wu Daozi's disciples, such as Lu Liangjia, Li Sheng, Zhang Zang, Han Qiu, Zhu Xuan, Zhai Yan and others, were also masters of the Tang Dynasty. In today's Northern Song and Yuan Fu periods, their authentic works are also worth a lot of money.

"How so?" Chen Youwen asked.

Wu Chengzhi stroked his beard and said: "The brushwork used in this Arhat's body seems to be from the painting saint, but in terms of form, truth and appearance, it has surpassed the painting saint...... Obviously, such a great painter can only be taught by painting saints. ”

"Isn't it made after the painting skills of the saint in his later years have been completed?"

"Drawing skills?" Wu Chengzhi shook his head and said, "The murals painted by the painter in the Great Solemn Temple in his later years, there are many copies in the world, and I should have seen it in Zhaozhi, right?" ”

Chen Youwen nodded.

Wu Chengzhi: "The skill of painting saints in his later years for portrait painting is far from this painting, and I am afraid it is not something that can be made up in one or two years...... Therefore, this painting should be from the disciple of the painting saint. ”

"Then Brother Xiang Dao, can you tell which painting saint disciple made this painting?"

"I can't see it," Wu Chengzhi carefully put away the scroll and returned it to Chen Youwen with both hands. "Maybe it's some unknown painting saint disciple?"

After retrieving the facsimile of "Drunken Arhat", Chen Youwen had no intention of getting up and leaving. Wu Chengzhi looked at him, and his face suddenly became solemn and abnormal, "Is there anything else to order when Zhaozhi waits?" ”

Chen Youwen lowered his voice and said, "Xiang Dao, do you have the "Eighty-Seven Immortal Map" at home? ”

Wu Cheng was stunned, his brows furrowed, "Is it Wu Daozi's true handiwork?" ”

Chen Youwen nodded slightly.

Wu Chengzhi said: "Isn't the true work of the "Eighty-Seven Immortals" hidden in the Wanshou Temple? ”

Chen Youwen whispered: "What is placed in the view of longevity is a fake. ”

"What's the hell?" Wu Chengzhi took a cool breath, and a frightened expression appeared on his chubby face.

Wanshou Temple was originally the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace built by Emperor Zhenzong with a huge amount of money, and it is a special avenue view with more than 3,600 houses, but it was destroyed in a fire only seven years after completion, leaving only two small halls of Changsheng and Chongshou. The two halls were later called Wanshou Temple, and became a small royal Taoist temple. "Eighty-Seven Immortals" was originally stored in the Zhaoying Palace of Yuqing, which was preserved in the fire, and later stored in the Wanshou Temple.

And the ancestor of the martial arts Wu Zongyuan is the first person of the Wu family in the Northern Song Dynasty, the white drawing of Wu Daozi can definitely be real, his "Chaoyuan Immortal Battle Map" (also a mural powder) is through the copy of the "Eighty-Seven Immortals", the composition of the two paintings is almost identical, and the characters are almost the same. Moreover, when he was responsible for the creation of the murals of Zhaoying Palace in Yuqing, he also borrowed the authentic works of "Eighty-seven Immortals" as a sample.

If anyone can make a fake to replace the "Eighty-Seven Immortal Pictures" collected in the Wanshou Temple, it will only be Wu Zongyuan!

Chen Youwen shook his head while looking at Wu Chengzhi, "What is placed in Wanshouguan is a fake." ”

"Fakes? Says who? Wu Chengzhi hurriedly asked. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat.

It turned out to be "Eighty-Seven Immortals"!

No wonder the powerful are eyeing the samurai...... But the samurai didn't have this painting in his hands at all!

Chen Youwen glanced at Wu Chengzhi and spit out three words: "Mi Xiangyang!" ”

Mi Xiangyang is Mi Fu! The "rice" in the "Cai Su Mi Huang" of the Song Dynasty, his calligraphy and painting may not be the first in the Great Song Dynasty, but his eyesight and ability to identify calligraphy and painting and his ability to forge must be the first in the world.

Chen Youwen paused and whispered: "Mi Xiangyang said that the "Eighty-Seven Immortals" of Wanshouguan was painted by Ling Weng. ”

"Well, it's troublesome!"

Wu Chengzhi patted his forehead, looking at a loss.

"Eighty-Seven Immortals" is not an ordinary picture scroll, but a large scroll about one foot in length and nine feet in width, with a large number of characters and a grand scene. Unless you can get a copy of the original, it is impossible to forge it.

Moreover, even if you can come out of the copy, it is impossible to deceive Mi Fu...... If what Chen Youwen said is true, even Wu Zongyuan's facsimile has been seen through, who else in the world can deceive the "Eighty-Seven Immortals"?

It seems that the samurai family is really hopeless......
