Marriage of the Di Daughter

Chapter 48: True and False

"Wait a minute." Jiang Li said.

Such an abrupt voice suddenly came from across the sky, and several people looked at the crowd around them. Jiang Li walked over from the side.

Liu Zimin was searching around, when he saw a beautiful woman walking out of the crowd, his eyes lit up immediately, and his tone was a bit teasing, he said, "What does this girl mean?"

Seeing this, Bai Xue followed Jiang Li closely, making up her mind that if this mouse-like kid dared to touch Jiang Li's little finger, she would beat him to the ground.

Jiang Li smiled and said: "Dare to ask what this young master has done?" She pointed to the young man beside him.

"What did you do?" Liu Zimin teased for a long time, and said with a smile: "This girl wants to do something brave, maybe she thinks we are bullying this brother. Then I have to make an excuse, we are not bullying others. He said: "This brother, Ye Shijie, has damaged a pair of calligraphy handed down from ancient times in our house. Here, it is this "Bird Drinking Spring"."

"Birds Drinking Spring" is a masterpiece of Zeng Zimo, a master of painting and calligraphy in the former dynasty. After Zeng Zimo's death, the pens and inks left by him were bought with a lot of money, especially the literati's family, which is proud of being able to collect Zeng Zimo's calligraphy. If Liu Zimin's painting is really "Birds Drinking Spring", Ye Shijie will be out of luck.

"This "Bird Drinking Spring" has a price but no market. I think Ye Xiongtai is not from Yanjing, so he is willing to compromise. It is not a loss at all to ask Ye Xiong to pay me 30,000 taels of gold. I didn't expect Ye Xiong to be this person It's too much, I don't want to pay a penny, this is from the Ye family in Xiangyang, so stingy, is this the nature of a businessman?" Liu Zimin laughed out loud.

When the people around heard the words, they also laughed, all laughing at Liu Zimin's "businessman's nature".

The Yan Dynasty originally favored merchants, with scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants ranking at the bottom. Ye Shijie gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger, and said, "I didn't damage that painting, you jumped on it while I was writing!"

"Oh my god," Liu Zimin said, "You're still spitting blood. My young master has nothing to do, so would he destroy his own famous painting?" At this point, he seemed to remember that there was someone like Jiang Li beside him, and said : "Girl, tell me the truth."

Jiang Li smiled, and said: "Can you show me this painting of the young master? I have never seen the real "Bird Drinking Spring". I didn't expect it to be destroyed like this. What a pity." She seemed very sorry like.

Seeing her like this, Liu Zimin handed over the painting generously: "Young lady, if you want to see it, then go and see it!" He saw that Jiang Li's attire was not ordinary, but when did such a graceful official lady come to Yanjing City? , he really doesn't know. I thought in my heart that I would ask someone to inquire about it later. If the family background is lower, it would be good to marry back as a concubine.

Not far from the crowd, Jiang Youyao and the others in the carriage also saw this scene. Jiang Youyao asked: "What is she doing?"

"Third sister," Jiang Yu'e reminded: "That Ye Shijie is from the Ye family in Xiangyang, and the second sister's maternal ancestor's family."

Suddenly, Jiang Youyao looked at Jiang Li again: "Let's take another look."

Jiang Li got a picture of "Bird Drinking Spring" in her hand, and looked at it carefully.

"Birds Drinking Spring" is a painting in which when spring comes, tits in the valley stand on the flower branches hanging down on the water, and drink their own reflection in the stream. The flowers in the valley are in full bloom, the tits are lively and clever, and the stream is so clear that they are painted one by one, vividly.

It's just that the painting now has a big opening obliquely torn from the bottom, almost splitting the page into two.

Because of Jiang Li's appearance, there are more and more people watching the theater around. Ye Shijie frowned, but Liu Zimin was the most patient.

After looking at it for a while, Jiang Li put down the painting in her hand. She did not return the painting to Liu Zimin, but said: "Master Zeng's calligraphy is indeed precious. It focuses on the meaning and interest. It is rare and priceless, but..."

Every time she said a word, Liu Zimin raised her eyebrows an inch higher. When she heard Jiang Li's last words, Liu Zimin subconsciously answered, "Just what?"

"This is a fake painting." Jiang Li said.

"This painting is..." Liu Zimin reacted abruptly, and said loudly, "How is it possible?" When she looked at Jiang Li again, she no longer had the kindness she had at the beginning.

Ye Shijie also looked at Jiang Li in astonishment.

"This painting has been imitated very much, but it still cannot conceal the fact that it is a fake. Calculated according to the value of the most similar fakes on the market today, this painting is only fifty taels of silver at most. Mr. Ye," she looked at Ye Shijie, "you only need to pay this young master fifty taels of silver."

"Little girl," Liu Zimin laughed sinisterly: "Red lips and white teeth, you say it's a fake? This painting is the real thing! Don't talk nonsense."

"Yeah," the people around booed: "How do you prove it's true?"

Jiang Li was not in a hurry, and said unhurriedly: "Master Zeng is from the former dynasty, and the brushes and inks of the previous dynasty are all made of silk from the previous dynasty. However, there is no double silk in the previous dynasty."

"Double silk?" Bai Xue asked suspiciously.

"The previous dynasty only produced double-silk silk, which is thick and thin. But you can see this calligraphy, which is white and dense, clearly it is double-silk silk. Master Zeng of the previous dynasty would never use today's double-silk silk to paint. one."

"Secondly, the seal is wrong. The previous dynasty did not use many stone seals. If the seals of the previous dynasty have the unique traces of the previous dynasty, the stop strokes of each character in the seal script are slightly thicker than the original strokes, but they appear lighter. , slightly yellow. The seal script in this painting is smooth and the color is red, which is obviously wrong."

While Jiang Li was talking, she showed the "Bird Drinking Spring" in her hand to everyone. Everyone didn't think it, but when they said it, compared with Jiang Li's words, they really felt something was wrong.

Seeing Liu Zimin's complexion getting uglier and Ye Shijie getting more and more surprised, Jiang Li said with a smile: "And the most important point, the most brilliant thing about the painting "Birds Drinking Spring" is that Master Zeng paid attention to details. When pecking at the shadow, there is the reflection of the tit in the water in the eyes, similarly, in the eyes of the tit in the water, there is also the shadow of the tit on the flower branch. But in this painting "Birds Drinking Spring", the tit in the reflection in the water has nothing in the eyes."

"So," Jiang Li said with a smile, "Young Master, this painting of "Birds Drinking Spring" is fake. A fake "Birds Drinking Spring" costs three thousand taels of gold. This is a fantasy."

Liu Zimin was furious, and reached out to grab the painting in Jiang Li's hand, Jiang Li would not let him succeed, Bai Xue had already taken the painting sensitively, and held it high to show it to the big guys.

"Do you know who I am?" Liu Zimin finally couldn't help it, showing his face, and said viciously: "You dare to spout such blood, my father knows, and you will be in big trouble!"

Hearing this, Jiang Li finally put away the smile on her face, and said lightly: "I don't know who you are, but you dare to treat me so shamelessly, my father knows, and you are in big trouble."

"I'd like to see which family you are from, and report your name!" Liu Zimin said angrily.

"Jiang's family in the capital, daughter of the chief assistant, Jiang Er." Jiang Li said.
