ps: Monthly tickets, are there really no monthly tickets? Please support me.

Amid the praises of everyone, Old Tian shook his head repeatedly and waved his hand and smiled: "Fortunately you didn't say I was a calligrapher, otherwise I would probably jump into the lake in shame."

While talking and laughing, everyone's topic naturally returned to calligraphy and painting. This is not a difficult task for Wang Guan. He knows a lot about calligraphy and paintings in ancient and modern times, and he doesn't have to worry about not being able to answer any questions.

During the chat, someone came again: "Forgive me for my sins, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Wang Guan looked with the situation and saw that the person who came was a slightly fat middle-aged man. His smiling face could not hide his shrewdness and toughness. He was obviously a veteran in the business world.

"Shopkeeper Tan." Old Xing smiled and greeted: "Come and have a cup of tea."

"Thank you, Mr. Xing."

After nodding, Manager Tan sat down in the empty seat next to him, then put the things in his hand on the table, gently pushed them into the middle of the table, and said with a smile: "I brought the things here, please taste them slowly."

The thing is a scroll, and the paper mounted on it is slightly yellow. If it weren't for the intention of making old things, it should have been a few years. Just as Wang Guan looked at it carefully, Old Tian simply smiled and said, "What are you doing when you stand there? Do you want us old people to do it?"

"It's rude."

Wang Guan immediately reacted, smiled embarrassedly, then got up and picked up the scroll, untied the tie, and then carefully spread the scroll gently.

The scroll was spread out in half and found that it was a vertical scroll painting. Wang Guan adjusted the direction according to the trend, and then he even savvyly hung the picture on the bead curtain next to it so that everyone could see it.

At this time, Wang Guan looked at it and saw a literati sitting on a big stone, holding a stone-like thing in his hand, and was concentrating on viewing. In addition, in the upper left corner of the picture, there are the characters Dongpo got inkstone. The next lower left corner is the signature.

"Ren Yi of Shanyin!"

After taking a look, Wang Guan blurted out: "Ren Bonian got the inkstone picture!"

Ren Yi was Ren Bonian, a famous painter in the late Qing Dynasty. Since he was from Shanyin, Zhejiang Province, his signature was generally written with the four characters of Shangshanyin, and he was an outstanding portrait painter.

Moreover, when it comes to Ren Bonian, we have to mention Xu Beihong. Xu Beihong admired Ren Bonian throughout his life and thought he was the reincarnation of Ren Bonian. Because the day when Ren Bonian died was the day when Xu Beihong was born.

If a great painter like Xu Beihong can be admired, he can also know Ren Bonian's status in the painting world in the late Qing Dynasty.

Of course, even now, Ren Bonian's works are of great value. What's more, he is a figure painting that he is good at, and it is related to Su Dongpo. In connection with the Suzi Culture Festival, the value of this painting may increase by 10% or 20%.

However, there is also a prerequisite: this painting must be genuine to be valuable. If it is a fake or a fake, then it's all.

"That's right, it's Ren Bonian's Dongpo's inkstone picture." Manager Tan said with a smile: "You are also seniors and experts in the calligraphy and painting world. You should be able to see that this painting is a treasure. If it weren't for the efforts of the Suzi Culture Festival, I wouldn't be willing to take action..."

This is a trap for Mr. Xing and others. You should know that modern calligraphers and painters may not be experts in calligraphy and painting identification. If you do not have this self-knowledge, it is not uncommon to be able to get a clue, and it is a common thing. If Mr. Xing and others were just, it might really make Manager Tan succeed. But it is a pity. There were at least two experts present.

Mr. Tian looked at it for a moment and signaled: "Wang Guan, you can take a look."

"good."

Wang Guan nodded and untied the painting from the bead curtain. Then he placed it on the table to watch it carefully.

Speaking of Dongpo’s inkstone drawing, it is also a relatively wide subject. It is said that one day, Su Dongpo’s father Su Xun was going to plant something in his backyard. He simply asked his two sons to help with the work.

At that time, Su Dongpo was not old and was very enthusiastic when he was digging. When he was digging happily, he dug out a piece of stone covered with soil with a clang. Su Dongpo picked up the stone and looked at it and found that the stone was light green, a bit like the back of a bluefish. The texture was delicate and soft, mixed with tiny silver stars.

It felt that the stone was extraordinary, so Su Dongpo immediately handed it over to his father Su Xun to view it. Su Xun also thought the things were good, so he simply made a stone inkstone for Su Dongpo to use. Su Dongpo cherished this stone inkstone very much and named it Tianyan...

This is the allusion of Dongpo’s inkstone, and it is the subject of common paintings by calligraphers and painters of all dynasties.

Of course, the subject matter is just a subject matter. Since each painter has different styles, the pictures drawn are naturally different. These styles are precisely the important basis for identifying authenticity.

After Wang Guan looked at it carefully and studied it repeatedly, he suddenly laughed and said, "Old Tian, ​​I am still young and have shallow knowledge, so I am afraid I can't see it well."

There is nothing wrong with this. It is said that there is no hair on your mouth and no effort to do things. For young people, some elders always think that they are the sun at eight or nine o'clock in the morning and the pillars of the future. However, you should pay attention to the word "The Future" is the key.

What does the future mean? Everyone probably understands that at least you have to wait until the young people are no longer young, so that you can save the word "the future". Otherwise, you can just be the sun at eight or nine o'clock.

At least that's what Manager Tan thought, so he didn't doubt that Wang Guan had something in his words. He just thought that he was more informed and tactful, and did not pretend to know how to waste everyone's time.

However, Mr. Xing and others did not think so. After all, Wang Guan and Mr. Tian were talking freely and at ease just now, but they left a deep impression on everyone. You should know that ambition is not as high as the age of age, so they did not regard Wang Guan as an ignorant junior. Now, people who hear that Wang Guan is not good at reading it well, and those who know some antiques and jargons will understand a little.

"Yeah?"

At the same time, Mr. Tian stood up and personally took the initiative to verify it. After all, Mr. Xing and others invited him over, not only did he value his calligraphy as good as his calligraphy, but more importantly, he used his appreciation ability.

It is hard to refuse the kindness. Since he was invited, Mr. Tian naturally had to do his best. In addition, as a professional connoisseur, he understood the principle of being cautious and cautious. It is impossible for him to not look at paintings just because he trusted Wang Guan.

For real connoisseurs, trust is not a reason, and other people's opinions are just references. Whether things are real or not needs to be identified by themselves.

However, after looking at it for a moment, Mr. Tian got the same conclusion as Wang Guan. However, he did not point it out, and just asked politely: "Shopkeeper Tan, is there nothing else except this painting?"

"Uh?" Manager Tan was stunned. Wang Guan said he couldn't read it well. He must have thought Wang Guan really couldn't understand it, but Mr. Tian's hint made him hesitate.

In an instant, I understood what I should understand. If I were a profession, I would just have a clear idea in my heart and would not say much. But most of the people present were laymen, so naturally some people couldn't help asking: "Old Tian, ​​is there anything wrong with this painting?"

"Not that's wrong..." Old Tian smiled and waved, "Wang Guan, say."

Yes, this is not good at being young, and it is easy to be used as a gun and used to hold the pot.

Wang Guan smiled helplessly and explained in a more tactful way: "Ren Bonian used his brush and ink with rich and varied brushwork, virtual and real, and there are naturally some rules for the thickness and light. Whether it is the characters, portraits, landscapes, or flowers, they are poetic and picturesque, with a fresh, smooth and unique style."

"His main achievements lie in figure paintings and flower and bird paintings. Often, just a few strokes can express the entire expression of the characters. The ink is not much and the artistic conception is profound. In other words, the lines of Ren Bonian's figure paintings are very concise and calm, powerful and elegant."

Wang Guan commented, then pointed to the picture on the table and said, "But these characteristics cannot be seen in this painting. Of course, I am young and lack of eyesight and experience, and maybe I may not be able to read it wrong. If I say something wrong, please don't laugh and give me more advice."

Wang Guan's words were tactful enough, but Manager Tan's expression slightly darkened. Although Wang Guan did not mention a false word, everyone was not stupid, so they could naturally hear the implicit meaning. It may not be that they believed Wang Guan's judgment, but when they saw Mr. Tian drinking tea and nodding, they knew that he also thought so, so how could everyone have any other opinions?

For a moment, the atmosphere was a bit subtle. Wang Guan's eyes moved and he suddenly laughed: "Old Tian, ​​why are you suddenly interested in Ren Bonian's calligraphy and paintings?"

He was asking questions knowingly, and Mr. Tian was happy to change the topic: "It is not that he is interested in Ren Bonian's calligraphy and paintings, but that he is collecting some things related to Su Dongpo and exhibiting them at the Suzi Cultural Festival."

"So that's it." Wang Guan nodded seriously and then smiled: "Actually, I think that even if this painting is related to Su Dongpo, it is always separated by a layer. If you can find the stone inkstone in the painting, it is a real treasure."

"Su Dongpo Tiancheng inkstone!" Old Tian sighed: "Who doesn't want to get it? However, after the mid-Ming Dynasty, this inkstone was missing and I don't know whose hands fell into."

"Um."

Wang Guan nodded and said, "After getting this Tianyan inkstone, Su Dongpo carried it with him and cherished it very much. However, he lost it during his demotion to Huangzhou. Later, after several twists and turns, it finally fell into the hands of Yan Song, the powerful minister of Jiajing. At that time, Yan Song was confiscated, and there was a record of this treasure inkstone in the Tianshui Bingshan Record. Unfortunately, after the things were returned to the palace treasury, there was no news about it."

"I have this inkstone..."

At this moment, Manager Tan suddenly said, "There is a stone inkstone in my store, which is very similar to the legendary Su Dongpo Tianyan, but I can't figure out whether it is true or false. If you are interested, I can use it to review it for you."

When everyone heard this, they were first suspicious, thinking that this might not be too coincidental. However, Mr. Tian was not so arbitrary, but said with interest: "Of course this is the best, so I'll trouble Manager Tan."

"It's okay, everyone wait a moment, I'll be back soon."

While speaking, Dongpo, who had left no traces on the shopkeeper Tan, rolled up the inkstone picture and left briskly. Even if the picture is a fake, it cannot be deceived by Wang Guan and others, as long as you continue to open the door to do business, the picture can be sold sooner or later, and of course you cannot throw it away casually.

Of course, that's what happened in the future. Now Store Manager Tan is eager to start a business to avoid leaving a bad impression on Mr. Xing and others, and then he will lose a lot of potential benefits.
