The Immortal Road of Rebirth

Chapter 45
"Wen and Ke, with the same name, and characters and Ke, self-named "Mr. Xiaoxiao", known as Mr. Shishi. A famous painter and poet in the Northern Song Dynasty. He and Su Shi are cousins. They are famous for their studies. They are good at poetry, calligraphy and painting, and are deeply literary , Sima Guang and others praised him, especially respected by his cousin Su Shi.

Speaking of the name "Mr. Xiaoxiao", Grandpa Yu took a playful look at Xiaoxiao.Grandpa Yu, who was ignored by Xiaoxiao, also felt a little bored, so he continued to express his respect:

"Wen Tong is famous for his good bamboo painting. He pays attention to experience, and advocates that he can paint when he has a well-thought-out plan. He painted bamboo leaves, creating the method of thick ink for the surface and light ink for the back. Scholars followed suit and formed a school of ink and bamboo. The famous painter Mi Fu praised him for "taking the depth of ink as the face, and the lightness as the back, and the beginning of self-examination. "

He created a new situation in ink and bamboo painting.Later, most of the bamboo painters learned from him, and it is known as the "Huzhou Bamboo School" in the world.In the Yuan Dynasty, painting ink and bamboo became a fashion, and famous artists such as Li Jin and Zhao Mengfu were all successors of the Huzhou School and had a great influence on later generations.I also like to write about ancient trees and old trees, and write about landscapes. "

Grandpa Yu praised his idol endlessly; Grandpa Ye smiled and said nothing, occasionally nodding to show his agreement; Xiaoxiao was ashamed of his ignorance; Feifei's eyes were as clear as listening to heaven.

.

After a cup of tea, the boss took it back to paint.At this time, he looked very professional, wearing white gloves, carefully unfolding the scroll on a special table, and slowly unfolding it.He then handed a pair of white gloves and a magnifying glass to each of Grandpa Ye and Grandpa Yu who came up to them.

The second elder was not humble, put on his gloves, and rewarded seriously:
This is a very elegant ink bamboo painting.The painting is like a bamboo hanging from a cliff, the main trunk is curved, and it is slightly raised at the end.The branches and leaves are very dense, intersecting and staggered, and they have different postures with their backs and backs, which are lifelike.

Xiaoxiao, who was aroused by curiosity, also came up and watched.Xiaoxiao doesn't have any art skills, and she doesn't know anything about ancient paintings.Looking at the painting, I can only feel that the painting is good, but I can't explain what is good.

She has her own unique identification method: use the soul to perceive the breath of the picture scroll...well...sometimes the flow of time is very comfortable.There is a breath of time, and it looks like a real ancient painting.

Other than that, he didn't have the kind of heartfelt liking for the red dressing box.What exactly is going on?Xiaoxiao was a little confused.

After carefully appreciating it for nearly half an hour, the two elders reluctantly put down the magnifying glass, and Grandpa Ye nodded:
"It should be authentic. The paper conforms to the characteristics of the times.

Bamboo branches and leaves, dark ink, light ink, appropriate shades, patchwork, the bamboo leaves are painted very vividly and naturally, which can be described as vivid.This is also the characteristic of Wen Dong bamboo painting. "

"The elegant and unrestrained posture is comparable to the beauty of Tan Luan; the embellishment of things can be seen in the battle of ink and wash. Wen Tong's bamboo paintings are indeed extraordinary!"

Grandpa Yu also added:
"In addition, there is no problem from the seal point of view.

Above this picture, in the blank space on the lower left, there are Zhuwu, Mo Juntang, Wen Tong and Ke. These three seals of Wen Tong have been confirmed.In addition to the three seals of Wen Tong himself, the few seal seals here can also be verified by textual research, and they are recognized by everyone as genuine.Adding Wen Tong's own name seal, we can be sure that this painting is undoubtedly the authentic work of Wen Tong's ink bamboo painting. "

Being affirmed again, the already confident boss is still very happy, and thank you again and again:
"Thank you, thank you, old man."

.

After appreciating the paintings, Grandpa Ye, who sat down to drink tea again, was fine, and his expression was still within a controllable range.Grandpa Yu was a little restless, thinking over and over again:

It is my favorite bamboo painting, and it is also the work of the master who created a new school of bamboo painting.Of course, I want to get it in my hands and watch it every day.But he can't take it by force, and he probably doesn't have that much money. This is different from picking up leaks, and it needs real money.

After thinking about it for a while, Grandpa Yu still opened his mouth and asked, "Little Ma, are you selling this painting? What's the price?"

Grandpa Yu, who was old and mature, was afraid of being forced to accept gifts. Before the boss answered, he reminded again: "Don't fool me old man, I won't take advantage of you."

If Grandpa Yu didn't say anything, even if the boss gave it away for nothing, he still couldn't wish for it.Hearing that Grandpa Yu had been vaccinated in advance, he knew it was useless, and it was obviously impossible to get in touch with someone just with a painting.

The boss with a clear heart also looked away, and regarded him as an ordinary customer, so he returned to the shrewdness of a businessman:
"Old Yu, business is business. If this painting is auctioned, it must be worth more than 7 figures, but the handling fee will be deducted. If you always want to take over, just round it up and give me 80. "

Grandpa Ye nodded to Grandpa Yu, indicating that the price is fair.

Grandpa Yu was a little depressed.He is indeed an old leader, but he has no money.My family are all government workers, receiving dead wages.It's not a big greedy predator.I really can't come up with so much cash all at once.

Looking at his old friend's embarrassed face, Grandpa Ye took the initiative to make a rescue: "Old Yu, this is what I like, don't compete with me."

Then he said to the boss: "Xiao Ma, wrap this up for me too. Together with the paper, check out."

Looking at Grandpa Yu who was struggling with himself, the boss responded repeatedly: "Okay, just wait a moment. Just give me 80."

Grandpa Ye didn't care about the little money for the paper, just treat it as a gift for the painting.He quickly took the bag from the secretary, took out the checkbook, and wrote a check. ——At ordinary times, Grandpa Ye always scolds Uncle Ye for not doing his job properly, so he just throws himself on A Duwu.But when it came time to open Uncle Ye's checkbook, he was not merciless at all.

The group left Boguzhai after being sent off by the boss. Grandpa Ye teased the sullen Grandpa Yu: "Old Yu, don't be unhappy. At most, I will allow you to come to my house to see this painting twice more."

"Hmph, corrupt bourgeoisie." Grandpa Yu found another way to turn over Grandpa Ye's old account.

Seeing that Grandpa Yu became angry, Grandpa Ye quickly stuffed the painting into Grandpa Yu's hand: "Okay, Lao Yu, you thought you were a child. In order to prevent this painting from being cast in the dark, I gave it to you! But this year you 's birthday present is gone."

Grandpa Yu turned his anger into joy, and hugged the painting tightly in his arms: "Cheng, Lao Ye, it's interesting."

Grandpa Ye was not at all embarrassed to accept the 80 gift.The joke, the lifelong friendship between the two, and the friendship of three generations are more than 80.Besides, who made the fourth boy of the Ye family rich?Let's start over again to fight the local tyrants and divide the land.
