CHAPTER XXXV
Wang Rui took out Lin Fengmian's mountain residence Chunxiao, Mo Lao said after appreciation: "It is Lin Fengmian's true handiwork, Lin Fengmian's achievements in painting are great, but the greater achievement is the achievement in painting education, Lin Fengmian promoted the integration of Eastern and Western painting art, and made great contributions to the development of Chinese painting art, his paintings are currently seriously underestimated in the market, and there is a lot of room for appreciation of his paintings in the future, and the paintings of his students Zao Wou-ki, Chu Teh-Chun and Wu Guanzhong are more expensive than his paintings." Lin Fengmian's paintings pursue artistic conception, often conceived for a long time before starting to write, and some so-called masters nowadays, painting more than a dozen paintings a day, or even painting a lot of the same, are just printing machines, and the paintings have no value. Don't sell this painting first, leave it for a few years, there will be a lot of room for appreciation. "Okay, grandpa."
Wang Rui took out other paintings one by one, and Mo Lao commented on them one by one. Wang Rui finally took out the painting of Wen Zhengming and said, "Grandpa, I know this one is a fake, but I don't know where the fake is, so I bought it back and asked you for advice." ”
Mo Lao unfolded the painting and glanced at it and said, "This is indeed fake." "Can you tell at a glance that it's fake?" The paper, the drawing, and the seal are all right. "This is your lack of experience, this painting is indeed imitated at a very high level, and it is imitated on old paper in the Ming Dynasty, the imitation author should have copied Wen Zhengming's painting for a long time, the technique and charm are very similar, this seal should also be made according to the seal spectrum, the level is very high, and the anti-counterfeiting cracks are also very similar." In order to prevent others from imitating their own seals, the ancients often used a carving knife on the seal at will after the seal was engraved, so that the seal formed natural small cracks, which were difficult to imitate, so the seal was an important basis for identifying authenticity. "And how did you see it at a glance?" "I was told by the author himself. The imitator is afraid that people will use this imitation painting to deceive people, and leave a flaw in the painting, you see, you only pay attention to the appearance of the seal, but do not pay attention to the position of the seal, this painting uses two seals, one is the Yin engraved Wen Zheng Ming Seal, the other is the Yang carved Hengshan, the rules of the ancient calligraphy and painting seal are Yin and Yang, which is what Taoism calls Yin and Yang. In calligraphy and painting, the yin is engraved on the top, and the yang is engraved on the bottom, and at the same time, the first name and then the word must be observed, and the last number is the other rules. At the same time, the order of the name number is greater than the order of yin and yang, that is to say, the order of the name number should be considered first, and then the order of yin and yang. Wen Zhengming's original name is Wenbi, the word Zhengming, the number Hengshan Jushi, this painting is engraved on the top of Hengshan, and the Yin carved Wen Zhengming is printed on the bottom, which is wrong, the ancients will never make such a mistake, this should be a flaw deliberately left by the author. Wang Rui really benefited a lot, and the books he read did not specifically introduce the order of seals.
Wang Rui took out a few coins again, Mo Lao appreciated them one by one, picked up the Jingde ingots iron coin and said: "Your goal is this one, this is the Northern Song Dynasty Jingde Ingot Iron Coins, although it is not the fifty treasures of Guquan, but the amount of survival is also very low, this rust is somewhat serious, it needs to be dealt with and maintained immediately, Lao Li is an expert in this regard, you have time to go to him, let him help you deal with it, if you want to collect it, keep it yourself, if you want to exchange it, ask Lao Li if you want it, he is very obsessed with ancient coins." "Okay, grandpa." "There is also this Taihe treasure of the Jin Dynasty, which also has a certain value, this concubine money is also good, and this Qianlong Tongbao is also worth a thousand."
Wang Rui took out the Liao Dynasty blue and white jade carving with skin mandarin duck wearing lotus plaque, Mo Lao is a person who loves jade, immediately solemnly got up, took out a magnifying glass, and carefully appreciated it. "Treasure, this carving is just right, the clever use of stone skin and imperfections, and the color change is also natural and smooth. Xiao Rui, I will accept this blue and white jade carved mandarin duck with skin and lotus ornament, and give you eight million. "Grandpa, how can I ask for your money, I'll give you this medallion." "Xiao Rui, I can't let you always send me, you are a master of picking up leaks, you may not miss a piece of ancient jade at any time, and you can give it to me every time, if that's the case, it is estimated that you will get good things in the future, and you will not dare to show it to my old man, hahaha." "How so?" "Xiao Rui, as much as you want, so that if you have good things in the future, I will buy them again." "Okay, grandpa, it doesn't take so much." "This is the market price, you can listen to me."
Wang Rui took out the white tiger pattern tile of the Eastern Han Dynasty and another ancient brick, and said, "Grandpa, this tile and ancient brick were bought in a stall together with the ancient brick where the fish intestine sword was found. Mo Lao picked up the tile and took a closer look: "White Tiger Wadang, look at this ornament is the tile of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but unfortunately it is not a complete set, between 30,000 and 50,000." He picked up the ancient brick again and found that there was also a hole, "There is something in here too." "It's this." Wang Rui handed Su Shi's authentic handwriting to Mo Lao, who took it and unfolded it carefully, picked up a magnifying glass and carefully appreciated it. "Su Shi's true handiwork?" "I think it's true, what can be hidden with the fish intestine sword is definitely not ordinary." Mo Lao carefully identified it for a while, and said: "It should be authentic, the handwriting is smooth and natural, not imitation." ”
Seeing that what Wang Rui bought was genuine, Mo Sitong was very happy, Mo Siming said: "Grandpa, you help us estimate how much Brother Wang earned when we went out this time, we spent less than 100,000 yuan in total, and gave a few gifts." ”
"You know the money, I'll give you an estimate. The current market price of this Liao Dynasty black glaze flower four-series pot is about 7 million, the mountain residence of Lin Fengmian is about 5 million, this Jingde Tongbao is 1 million, the Liao Dynasty blue and white jade carving with skin mandarin duck wearing lotus plaque is 8 million, Su Shi's authentic works are 15 million, Wadang and Taihe Chongbao, as well as these ancient coins and a few paintings, together estimated 100,000. As for the Fish Gut Sword, it is priceless. Mo Siming added it with a calculator, 36.1 million, not counting the gift, as well as the two pieces of ancient jade, as well as the fish intestine sword. It's not that I don't know, but I'm shocked, and the harvest is too great.
These antiques were left in Mo Lao's place for the time being, Wang Rui wondered if he should also buy a house and build a treasure room, Mo Lao gave Wang Rui a check of eight million. After lunch, Mo Sitong and Mo Siming had to go back to the company to see, after leaving for so many days, there were many things to deal with. Wang Rui went to the hotel to pick up the car and drove to Li Lao's, who was drinking tea on the second floor, and when he saw Wang Rui coming in, he poured him a cup. "Healed? There are no after-effects. "It's total, I see how Lao Qi's Bo Gu Xuan is exchanging, don't you do it?" "After Qi Xiaobing's accident, Lao Qi was in no mood to operate, and his reputation also made Qi Xiaobing lose everything, and he couldn't do it anymore." "Old Qi, it's also pitiful." "Who said no, now I'm alone, and I don't have anything to pursue. Xiao Rui, you came to me, did you miss it again, do you want me to estimate? "I'm here this time to ask you to help me clean up and maintain a few ancient coins." "Oh, take it out and I'll take a look." Li Lao had a great interest in ancient coins. Wang Rui took out a few ancient coins, and Li Lao looked at them carefully, "This Northern Song Dynasty Jingde ingots iron coin is a treasure, but it is almost maintained, I will deal with it in a while." This Guifei Qian, Taihe Chongbao, and Qianlong samples are good. It's all a lot of money. "At a stall, you can pick twenty yuan a piece." "Where's the stall, take me to see it." "The stalls in Ice and Snow City, besides, the rest are general products." "Okay, forget it. Xiao Rui, do you have these coins? "Shoot." "Give it to me." "Okay, here you go." "Then I'll give one hundred and thirteen thousand, what do you think?" "Old Li, you give it at the market price, there are bits and pieces, so let's give you one million." "Okay, deal, Xiao Rui, old man, I accept your love."
Coming out of Li Lao's, Wang Rui walked around the market again, but didn't find any treasures in the afternoon. I went to CCB to change the check, and the deposit was close to 20 million in an instant. On the way back, I ate, went home and cleaned up, invited my parents' portraits out, hung them carefully, and wiped them clean. Wang Rui once again felt that it was time to buy a house, and it was always bad to hang the portraits of his parents in a rented house. Then I found some books on calligraphy and painting, but I still lacked something in this area.
Early the next morning, as soon as Wang Rui got up, Mo Sitong's phone called, "Are you up?" ”
"Then wash up, I'll go look for you, something's wrong." As soon as Wang Rui finished washing and cleaning up, Mo Sitong arrived, brought breakfast, and the two chatted while eating. "What's the matter with coming so early?" "It's a good thing, yesterday my Uncle Torre checked the news of Aunt Liying, there are too many people called Liu Liying in this city, and then I checked Xu Moxin, and I really found out, the wife of one of the people named Xu Moxin is called Liu Liying. I just don't know if it's the person we're looking for. "That's supposed to be, thank you Uncle Ray for me." "Let's go over after dinner, I'm sure you'll be surprised." "What's so surprising about that." "Keep it a secret, and we'll talk about it later."
The two went downstairs after eating, drove Wang Rui's car, Mo Sitong drove, and took Wang Rui all the way to the antique market, "Aunt Liying is in the antique market?" "You just come with me." Mo Sitong took Wang Rui all the way to the gambling stone shop they went to on the first day they met. Wang Rui was a little stunned, how could he find someone here. At the beginning of the morning, the shop was a little deserted, and the waiter greeted him, and Mo Sitong said, "Boss Xu is not." "Yes, I'll call him." After a while, Boss Xu greeted him, "Miss Mo, Mr. Wang, welcome, just came in a batch of wool, the two of you can pick at will, I will give you a discount." Mo Sitong said: "Boss Xu, we are not here to buy stones today, we take the liberty to disturb you and want to ask some questions." "Tell me." "Is your name Xu Moxin?" Wang Rui was shocked, this bald boss is Xu Moxin? "Yes, my full name is Xu Moxin, the ink of ink, the Xin of three gold, Miss Mo is in trouble?" Wang Rui immediately asked anxiously: "Then is your wife's name Liu Liying?" A native of Yongxing, Black Province. ”
