Chapter 487 Remnant Painting
Hearing the old monster teasing his boss, the young man smiled without saying a word, opened the door to the backyard, made a gesture of please, and the old monster walked in.

When Yu Fei was about to catch up, the boy stopped him with an unkind expression.

"My guest, the backyard is not open to outsiders."

After Yu Fei gave some doubts, he gave the old monster a sideways look, which means that it seems that you don't have too much face, I followed you, why was I stopped.

The old monster patted the boy on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, this is my little brother, I will bring him here today to open his eyes."

Hearing this, the boy put away his defensive expression, glanced at Yu Fei with a little surprise, and continued to lead the way.

……

As soon as he entered the backyard, Yu Fei suddenly felt a coolness rushing towards his face. This was not the soulless coolness of the air conditioner, but came from the big tree in the yard.

A kind of tree that Yu Fei can't name. The trunk is thick, but not too tall. The leaves are very broad, covering the small courtyard from the sun.

Under the tree trunk, in the place where the shade is the most abundant, there is a small square table with a grand master's chair beside it. At this time, a middle-aged man in a Tang suit is sitting on that chair, his head dozing off little by little.

There was a blue and white porcelain wine bottle on the table, and the aroma of the wine emanating from it proved that the middle-aged man in Tang suit had entered a slightly drunk state at this time.

The little boy was about to go forward to wake up his shopkeeper, but the old monster stopped him. After making a quiet gesture, the little boy slowly returned to the front hall by the same route.

The old monster approached the middle-aged man lightly, but Yu Fei didn't follow to make fun of him. Since he entered the backyard, his eyes didn't stop turning, and he kept looking at the decorations in the backyard.

Although he has passed the age of exuberant curiosity, but under the torment of some tomb robbery novels, he feels that there must be a big secret here, and since the worry just now is gone, he can explore it carefully.

Not to mention, he really found some things during this investigation, stone statues with green faces and fangs, stone carvings like ghostly symbols, and some gadgets that he didn't know their functions and couldn't name.

These are placed on the edge of the yard like exhibits, which also allows Yu Fei to see the whole picture clearly.

"...You are finally willing to come back."

"I'm afraid you'll drink yourself to death one day."

A burst of conversation drew Yu Fei's attention slightly. Looking back, the man in the Tang suit was chatting enthusiastically with the old monster. Judging by the expression of the man in the Tang suit, the two of them should have had a romantic relationship, otherwise So excited.

"...Aren't you going to leave when you come back this time? If you want me to say that you are too soft-tempered, if you had listened to me back then, why did you become like this?" Tang Suit Man said.

yell~
Yu Fei pricked up his ears, he has always been very interested in the old monster's past, and also wanted to know what he and Zhang Suqin went through.

"Let's talk about these things later. Although I may not stay here this time, I will definitely come back often in the future." The old monster changed the subject.

This made Yu Fei a little disappointed, he withdrew his ears and continued to look at the rockery in front of him. Their rockery is full of strange rocks, no matter how bad they are, they have to be round stones.

The one in front of me is not bad, neither of them are occupied, but there are several small holes of different sizes on it, some are transparent, and some look black, obviously only half opened.

"This is Nine Apertures Linglong Mountain."

A voice rang in Yu Fei's ear, and he hurriedly turned his head, just in time to see the old monster and the man in Tang suit standing behind him, the former had a smile on his face, and the latter had a look of inquiry.

Looking closer, Yu Fei discovered that the man in Tang suit is still an old bacon, which is very suitable for the pursuit of some young girls. If he puts on fashionable clothes, then he will definitely attract a lot of aunt fans when he goes out.

But Yu Fei saw some familiar shadows on his face, as if he had seen them somewhere, thought for a long time, and thought that he probably didn't have such a relative.

"Come on, let me introduce you to you."

The old monster said: "This is Yu Fei, a promising farmer."

"This is the boss of Rongbaozhai, the shopkeeper Jiang who is called Jiang Banxian by people in the world, but I prefer to call him half-blind, it sounds more pleasing to the ear."

Jiang Banxian was obviously used to his introduction, and he didn't care. He smiled and stretched out his hand to Fei and said, "If you can be called promising by the famous little prince in Kyoto, then you can run rampant in Kyoto."

Yu Fei also stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "This is all because shopkeeper Liu is flattering me. He is waiting to see me fall on my back."

The old monster smiled and stretched out his finger to point him. After Yu Fei withdrew his hand, he asked Jiang Banxian: "Just now you said that this rockery is Jiuqiao Linglong Mountain. What is the origin of this?"

"Oh~ the origin is not very big." Jiang Banxian said indifferently: "This is a defective product made by a master counterfeiter. It is said that he wanted to drill through all nine holes at the time, but because of a power outage, he just It made such a mystery out."

Yu Fei almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, thanks to the hundreds of thousands of words of the plot in his mind, the feeling is a fake, or a semi-finished product.

Seeing this, the old monster smiled at him and said: "These things outside the yard are not high-grade things, but the real good things are all in the back room."

Jiang Banxian suddenly slapped his thigh and said: "Don't tell me, someone just sent a dilapidated landscape painting yesterday. I haven't found out the date and author. It just happened that you gave me the palm of your hand."

After he finished speaking, he dragged the old monster to the back room. After taking two steps, he turned around and said, "Yu Fei, come and take a look. An extra pair of eyes means more possibilities."

Yu Fei knew in his heart that he was taking care of the old monster's face. What kind of calligraphy and painting does a young man know, let alone landscape painting, even the illustrations in textbooks? out of calendar.

However, he still kept up with the two of them. Even if he didn't know him, it would be good to gain some knowledge in the past. After all, the things that have been passed down for 300 years are not accessible to ordinary people.

There is nothing unusual about the furnishings in the back room, and there are not many of them, but each of them gives people a simple and heavy feeling, as if each piece contains a period of time.

Most of the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall are unknown to Yu Fei. The only one he knows is because of an illustration in school, which is Mr. Qi Baishi's shrimp painting.

According to unreliable sources, Mr. Qi Baishi paints shrimps, which is only counted, and one shrimp is 10 yuan.

Once, a wealthy businessman wanted to make things difficult for him, so he only paid 35 yuan as a reward. In the end, he got three and a half shrimps, one of which was half exposed in the grass.

Of course, this is all interesting talk, but it is enough to see the old man's painting skills.

But the painting in front of me has eight shrimps playing in the water. Although the size is different, it is enough to show the preciousness of this painting, but if it is a fake, it is another matter.

As soon as Jiang Banxian arrived in the room, he took out a brocade box from a cabinet, and took out a picture scroll from it. Perhaps to protect the painting, there was a layer of vacuum film on it.

But after unfolding, Yu Fei understood that Jiang Banxian said it was a broken painting. The upper part of the painting was complete, but the lower part was missing a corner. Judging from the broken edge, it seemed to be burnt .

Yu Fei leaned over to take a look, in the painting was a towering mountain peak like a cloud, a stream on the mountain hung on it like a silver belt, slowly pouring into a large lake at the foot of the mountain, on the surface of the lake there were several lotus flowers standing on it.

The broken part is the place where the signature is signed, so it is no wonder whose painting it is.

After looking at it for a while, the old monster said: "Judging from the layout and painting style, this should be a work from the Tang and Song Dynasties, but this is the first time I have seen this kind of painting method..."

As he spoke, Jiang Banxian smiled and said: "Your eyes are still so vicious. The two master masters in my shop also said that this painting should have been handed down from the Tang and Song Dynasties, but they didn't recognize it either. Who is the author of."

"Is there anything else that was sent at the same time as this painting?" asked the old monster.

"No." Jiang Banxian shook his head and said, "There's only this one painting, and the other party seemed to be in a hurry, took the money I gave and left without telling the origin of this painting."

"Oh~" The old monster laughed: "It seems that you have exploited people a lot. Even if you can't find the author of this painting, it can be worth a lot of money just because it has been handed down from the Tang and Song Dynasties."

Jiang Banxian smiled and said: "I really didn't intend to make money with this painting. The one who sent the painting is a woman. Judging by her look, the family must be in a hurry to spend money to send this painting."

"And I can see that she is very reluctant to part with this painting. It should be something handed down from her ancestors, so I gave her a high price."

The old monster rolled his eyes: "It's a woman, isn't that the point? And it should be that kind of charming woman. As for the others, it's not too important."

Jiang Banxian laughed dryly twice and didn't answer this question. Instead, he spread out the painting on the table, took out a magnifying glass and handed it to the old monster, and said, "Among us, you have the best vision. Help me take a closer look, maybe I can find some clues."

"You~" the old goblin shook his head and said, "Sooner or later, one day we will have to make a big fall."

Jiang Banxian didn't care at all, and said indifferently: "It's okay, if anyone makes me stumble, I will cover the rest of my life for her."

The old monster shook his head again, ended the topic, picked up the magnifying glass, and looked carefully at the screen.

Although Yu Fei has never seen this painting, but for some reason, he always feels a familiar feeling in his heart, and even has some impulses.

In the end, he still couldn't hold back, and stretched out his right hand to touch it...
