Li Yong didn't expect Fang Tianfeng's answer to be so decisive, so he smiled slightly and stopped talking.
The next step was to eat, drink and chat. Wang Yuanze, the birthday boy, was very curious about the master and wanted Fang Tianfeng to tell the specific story. They only knew that the master fell into Fang Tianfeng's hands. Even the people behind the master did not dare to reach out. They were very curious.
How did Fang Tianfeng do it?
Fang Tianfeng picked some things that could be discussed and said them again. Regarding some details such as the murder, he either simply passed them by, or he was deliberately vague and let others guess. Anyway, he couldn't let others catch the clue.
Everyone was silent after hearing this. Anyone who encountered this kind of thing would definitely die.
Unknowingly, the time reached eight o'clock in the evening. A few people left because of something else, but most of them were still there.
Huang Liangyi looked around the people in the living room and said: "Old Wang, I remember you said that you got a few new paintings, and you want to test our students and all the guests, and then you will get a good result, right?"
"I'm ready. As for the lottery, whoever guesses correctly can choose any calligraphy and painting from my 'Danqing Pavilion', 'Yunzhang Pavilion' and 'Linchi Terrace'."
As soon as Wang Yuanze finished speaking, the room exploded.
"Mr. Wang is really generous!"
"Mr. Wang's generosity is truly well-deserved."
"Does this count as a birthday gift and a big prize draw?"
Fang Tianfeng was confused, and while the room was noisy, he asked Xu Rou in a low voice.
Xu Rou explained seriously: "Danqing Pavilion is where Master collects Chinese paintings, and Yunzhang Pavilion is where calligraphy is collected. Danqing is another name for Chinese painting, and Yunzhang is an elegant name for calligraphy. The first two rooms collect other people's masterpieces, and Linchi Terrace
It was the place where the old man wrote and hung up his works. In the past, after practicing calligraphy every day, Wang Xizhi, the calligrapher, would go to the pool next to him to rinse his pen and inkstone. Over time, the entire pool turned black. Linchi was where he learned and practiced calligraphy.
I mean, use the calligraphy sage Wang Xizhi to encourage myself."
Wang Yuanze's collection is well known to everyone, and a large part of it belongs to his grandfather and father, which has been passed down from the Republic of China to the present. Their family is not only a master of framing, but also a master of calligraphy. His father's traditional Chinese painting is also very famous. It has been accumulated for nearly a hundred years across three generations.
I don’t know how many good things there are.
Although Wang Yuanze will not put out his favorite works, since the works he can hang out will not be less than 100,000, or even more than one million.
"This is not a small fortune." Fang Tianfeng knew it in his heart. Those who are short of money may choose the precious Chinese paintings from Danqing Pavilion, while those who are not short of money will definitely choose Wang Yuanze's works to deepen their relationship with Wang Yuanze.
After a while, three of Wang Yuanze's students came out with three paintings and hung them on the wall of the living room. The three paintings were relatively far apart, making it easier for everyone to view them.
Wang Yuanze said with a smile: "Of these three paintings, one was received by me half a year ago, another was given by a student, and the last one was a birthday gift given by Vice Governor Chen half a month ago. Please sign below.
I also saw that they are all landscape paintings by Tang Yin of Jinchang, that is, Tang Bohu. These three paintings are Early Spring Picture, Li Tang Landscape and Evening Wind Fishing Boat. Later, after careful identification, I found some problems, and later found a few more
Everyone appraised it, argued for a long time, and finally got the result. It’s okay if you want the lucky draw for your birthday gift, but you have to guess the real work of Tang Bohu.”
One person laughed and said: "Mr. Wang, I don't know how to paint. But there are only three paintings in total. Let's just divide all of us into three parts. Someone will guess it right and have to empty your treasures."
Everyone laughed, and Wang Yuanze said: "As long as you can guess correctly, I don't care if the whole house is moved. Okay, you guess, which painting you think is the original work of Tang Bohu. Just stand next to which painting, and we will be together when the time comes.
Receive the prize. You can express your opinions before choosing."
Xu Rou asked in a low voice: "Master Fang, I heard that you are capable of everything. You are not even proficient in collecting, are you? It is difficult to achieve success in this area without decades of experience, and many people specialize in different aspects.
"My master is a great expert in calligraphy and painting, and he also knows some porcelain, but he doesn't know much about jade and ancient coins."
"I really don't understand this aspect, so I won't join in the fun." Fang Tianfeng said with a smile. Maybe Wang Yuanze was taking the exam as a student or something, and he didn't want to join in the fun.
The living room was extremely lively, with people gathering under the three paintings and commenting.
"This painting of Wanfeng Fishing Boat has a lot of seals, especially the collection seals of Emperor Qianlong. Qianlong had a regular seal seal. The seals he affixed to calligraphy and paintings were graded. The better the calligraphy and painting, the better the seals.
The more seals there are. Ordinary ones are only stamped with "Treasure of Qianlong's Royal Views", while only high-grade calligraphy and paintings are stamped with seals such as "Qianlong Appreciation", "Sanxi Hall Jingjian Seal" and so on. This painting is considered to be Tang Bohu's.
The original work is not the pinnacle work. It is impossible for Qianlong to stamp the seal that is only available on these high-quality calligraphy and paintings, and the color of the seal is too conspicuous."
"But this painting is indeed Tang Bohu's style, with fine brushwork and clear layout. And judging from the ink marks on the paper, it doesn't look like an imitation."
"This Li Tang landscape is interesting. The style seems to be that of Tang Bohu, but in fact it is Wen Zhengming's brushwork. No wonder Mr. Wang wanted to take these three paintings for examination. If I hadn't appreciated many of Wen Zhengming's paintings, I wouldn't have
Hard to recognize."
"This early spring painting has the least problems. Its meaning is close to that of Tang Bohu. However, the painting method is a little immature and the brush strokes are too sharp. Tang Bohu was frustrated in officialdom and lost all his energy. It is not like his paintings."
Everyone was talking about it, and in the end they were confused, because there were indeed problems with each of the three paintings.
When everyone had finished talking, Wang Yuanze said with a smile: "Have you made your choice? I'll give you the last minute. Once you've chosen, stand next to the original."
Mayor Zheng Yingchao smiled and said: "Director Yan, I heard that you are also an expert in this field. Why don't you choose one? I know a little about calligraphy, but I don't know how to collect. I also want to rely on you to ask for a piece of Wang Lao
of calligraphy."
Director Yan said half-jokingly: "Jiang is so old! Although Mr. Wang is generous, he is also famous for cherishing his collections. He dares to use his own collections as lottery prizes. There must be some kind of trap. I will never participate. I don't think so.
It doesn’t matter if it’s accurate. If word gets out about it, who will call me an expert like you do in the future?”
Mr. Ren smiled and said: "I don't know much about calligraphy and painting. Even Director Yan can't make a conclusion, so I'm not qualified to say anything. I give up."
Li Yong said: "I don't understand this, so I won't participate. If Mr. Wang asks us to compete in calligraphy, I can give it a try. During those years in the United States, I have been practicing calligraphy and I think I have achieved success."
Even the big shots at the Eight Immortals table did not participate. Many people quietly sat back and joined in the fun. It was one thing to make random guesses when they didn't understand anything at all. This thing should have been given to experts.
Finally, there were nine, eleven and twenty people standing next to the three pictures respectively. The early spring picture had the most people because some people said it might have been painted by Tang Bohu when he was young.
Everyone calmed down and looked at Wang Yuanze together, but before Wang Yuanze could speak, the famous young calligrapher Lu Hua left everyone and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, if I say that these two paintings, Early Spring Picture and Evening Wind Fishing Boat, are both by Tang Bohu.
If it’s an authentic work, does this prize belong to me?”
Everyone was in an uproar, and then they realized that Wang Yuanze had actually played a little trick, suggesting that everyone was looking for authentic works, but deliberately did not tell them how many authentic works there were, and everyone was fooled. In fact, many people also thought of this possibility, but they always felt that Wang Yuanze was such a respected person.
People don't play tricks like this.
Wang Yuanze turned to look at Huang Liangyi and said, "Old Huang, are you colluding with your disciple for the sake of my calligraphy?"
Huang Liangyi was slightly flustered and said loudly: "Don't talk nonsense! I never told Lu Hua about Tang Bohu's authentic work! I also didn't mention the lottery!"
Unexpectedly, Lu Hua opened his mouth to betray the teacher: "Actually, a few days ago, the teacher tested me and asked me to choose one of his works among four articles. I chose one, but it was actually two articles. Accept that
Inspired by the incident, I feel that both of today’s paintings may be real.”
Huang Liangyi coughed lightly and glared at Lu Hua.
Wang Yuanze didn't take it seriously and asked: "Do you think the Qianlong seal on the Wanfeng fishing boat is real?"
"The seal is fake, but the painting is real! I saw it with my own eyes a few years ago. As for the early spring painting, it is obviously the work of Tang Bohu before he was frustrated in officialdom, just as a friend said just now." Lu Hua
smiled.
Wang Yuanze looked around the audience. Those who only chose one painting were either dejected or still laughing and finding it interesting. However, Lu Hua stood proudly in the middle of the living room, standing out from the crowd, as if he had eight dozen of the world's literary talents.
Posture.
Lu Hua also looked at Xu Rou specifically, as if he was the only one in the audience who was worthy of Xu Rou.
Wang Yuanze looked at Fang Tianfeng with a smile and asked: "You are also a young man, can you tell me your opinion?"
Fang Tianfeng shook his head and said, "I'm just a layman. I don't understand calligraphy, painting, or collecting, so I won't participate."
Unexpectedly, Wang Yuanze said: "Xiao Fang, don't underestimate us old people. When Lu Hua spoke just now, although you didn't say anything, your expression changed slightly. You didn't agree with him very much."
Lu Hua's face darkened when he heard this. After someone said something about Fang Tianfeng just now, he had been honest and honest. He even tried to find ways to apologize and redeem his previous mistakes. He didn't expect that what he was supposed to succeed would actually be ruined by Fang Tianfeng.
The master scorns.
After all, Lu Hua did not dare to offend Fang Tianfeng again. She suppressed her dissatisfaction, forced out a smile, and said, "I believe Master Fang is a strange person, and I respect Master Fang. But when it comes to appreciation of calligraphy, painting, and calligraphy, I believe I am slightly better. Of course.
, it’s just because I have been practicing for a long time and have seen a lot. If Master Fang has been studying this industry for several years, it will definitely be difficult for me to match.”
Upon hearing this, everyone understood that Lu Hua was afraid of Master Fang, but he did not want to admit defeat in his field of study, so he deliberately said this to avoid angering Master Fang.
Wang Yuanze immediately "provoked" and said: "Xiao Fang, if you don't express your own opinion, you will really be compared to Lu Hua! Xiaorou is here, do you want other men to steal your limelight?"
."
"Master!" Xu Rou looked angry, and glanced at Wang Yuanze. Suddenly, the room was full of charm, and many men were involuntarily attracted to Xu Rou.
Wang Yuanze chuckled and stared at Fang Tianfeng.
Seeing that Wang Yuanze was not ready to give up, Fang Tianfeng had no choice but to tell the results he had obtained by using the Qi Watching Technique. (To be continued. If you like this work, (.) vote for recommendation, monthly vote, your support is my biggest motivation.
