Treasure Hunting Divine Eyes

Dong Qichang was a painter and a great calligrapher in the late Ming Dynasty, especially good at running script and cursive script, and he was quite conceited about his small script. There are very few regular script handed down from generation to generation, so the price of one painting is definitely over 100 million.

Li Mo used different pupils, but what surprised him was that the characters in front of him did not emit a blue halo representing the Ming Dynasty, but a gray halo representing the Qing Dynasty, and the color was lighter, which means that this regular script is actually It is a copy of a calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty.

He glanced at Mr. Li and his grandson who was jumping up and down without any trace. Do the grandpa and grandson know that this is a copy?

"Mr. Qin, how about this Dong Qichang's regular script?" Mr. Li asked leisurely, stroking the beard on his chin.

"Dong Qichang's calligraphy absorbs the essence of ancient calligraphy, but does not deliberately imitate his handwriting. It has the beauty of 'Yan Gu Zhao Zi'. His calligraphy synthesizes the calligraphy styles of Jin, Tang, Song, and Yuan, and is self-contained. The style of calligraphy is elegant and ethereal, and the style is self-sufficient. The brushwork garden is vigorous and elegant, plain and simple."

"Furthermore, he uses his brushes so accurately that he always maintains a straight edge, and there are few sluggish or clumsy brushes. In terms of composition, the layout of characters between characters, between lines and lines, is sparse and well-proportioned, and he strives to follow the ancient method. Ink is also very particular, dry and wet, thick and light, to the best of its ability. Calligraphy up to Dong Qichang, can be said to be the culmination of ancient methods."

Qin Lao has a high level of appreciation of calligraphy and painting, especially this kind of great calligrapher who has left a thousand history.

"This regular script can be said to be the most representative work of Dong Qichang's calligraphy and painting. Mr. Li, where did you find this calligraphy?"

"How can an old man like me have such skills? Jiayu bought it at an overseas auction two years ago, and it cost nearly 20 million yuan. However, this piece of Dong Qichang's regular script is valued at 120 million yuan in China. It’s a big leak.”

"Grandpa, 120 million was the valuation two years ago, and it might be worth another 10 to 20 million if it goes to the auction now."

"Jiayu, keep this calligraphy well, it has great potential for appreciation."

"Grandpa Qin, I'll listen to you." Li Jiayu said flatteringly, just as he was about to roll up the words, he suddenly looked at Li Mo who was standing aside and said with a smile: "Li Mo, you claim to be golden eyes, yes Porcelain and jade have a high appreciation ability, and they also have a certain level of discrimination in calligraphy and painting, what do you think of this Dong Qichang's regular script?"

Li Mo said with a faint smile: "My appreciation of calligraphy and painting is average. Last time I picked up Zhu Zhishan's cursive script in Liulichang, Mr. Qin helped me identify it, so if you ask me what I think about this regular script, that's really a question." Wrong person."

"Then this opportunity is even rarer. Do you want to ask Grandpa Qin again?"

This is a bit too much, it seems to be showing off.

The three old men were old and mature, they couldn't help but frowned slightly, but they didn't say anything in person.

And Li Mo didn't care about it, instead he said with a smile: "There are many levels to the appreciation of a calligraphy and painting, for example, what you see are its characters, its seal, and its value. Grandpa Qin may also appraise the ink used for it." , its paper, its age. And I sometimes focus on its mounting process, its scroll shape, materials, and even many details that you have never thought of.”

Comparing people with each other, one can clearly tell the difference between the winner and the loser in a few words.

Shi Lao liked Li Mo quite a bit, at least what he said said that he was different from others, he was elevated by others without belittling himself, and he could still appear to be independent and special.

"The fact that you can say these words shows that your appraisal level is still very high. I am not proficient in calligraphy and painting, so I have to ask you for advice." Li Jiayu pressed on step by step.

"I still don't show my shame in front of everyone at this level."

"Jiayu, put this picture away, let's drink tea." Mr. Li coughed, his grandson still wasn't big enough.

"Grandpa, he's obviously trying to fool me and you too. I heard that he appraised an authentic painting of Shi Tao for Sijun in Jinling, and it is now hanging in the Jinling Museum. You all authenticated the authentic painting of Shi Tao There are no clear conclusions, but he can."

"Grandpa Qin, Grandpa Shi, who does Li Mo look down on?"

There was a sudden chill in the study.

Li Mo's face was gloomy, and he stared into Li Jiayu's eyes and said coldly: "Let me say a few words first, the first sentence, before I appraise this word, it can be worth 120 million or even more, but after I appraise it It could be worth hundreds of thousands, or even nothing."

"Second sentence, I was now in front of Mr. Qin, Mr. Shi, and your grandfather. Let me ask you again, are you sure you want my appraisal?"

Everyone clearly heard his anger, and they also clearly heard his meaning, that is, there might be something wrong with the authentic regular script that everyone thinks is Dong Qichang?

Mr. Qin knew Li Mo quite well, and since he said so in front of everyone, there was absolutely something wrong with this painting.

Li Jiayu was dumbfounded by the two words.

"Little Mo, is there really something wrong with this word?" Elder Qin asked solemnly.

"Mr. Qin, in fact, I have already answered your question just now. I appraise calligraphy and paintings and pay more attention to their details."

Although he didn't answer directly, he also affirmed from the side that there is something wrong with this painting.

"Little Mo, if this calligraphy is sold to you, how much can you bid?"

Mr. Li is very wise with this question, and he can guess the water content of this word from the amount given by Li Mo.

Li Mo shook his head, he would not accept it, even if it was given to me for free.

"Li Mo, you are too arrogant."

Li Jiayu gritted his teeth and said, his heart was full of anger and a little panic.

A few words from Li Mo stabbed a thorn in his heart.

If he is sure to ask Li Mo for an appraisal, the consequences are likely to be unacceptable to him.

If he didn't want Li Mo's appraisal, it would be equivalent to slapping himself hard in front of the three old men.

Regardless of his embarrassment, his grandfather will also lose face, after all, Mr. Qin and Mr. Shi in front of him are not ordinary people.

What does it mean to lift a rock and shoot yourself in the foot? What is riding a tiger?

Li Jiayu was faced with this very embarrassing situation.

"I think the top-quality Tieguanyin collected by Mr. Qin is very good, why don't we continue to taste it?" Li Mo suddenly suggested.

"I also think that Tieguanyin tastes good, and it is different from Dahongpao." Shi Lao went directly to the coffee table, which was a step down for everyone.

Mr. Li looked at his grandson, feeling a sense of disappointment in his heart for no reason. This is the heir he hoped for?

Not even a little courage, such a person will never fall into the eyes of Old Qin.

Not enough heart, not enough courage, perhaps Qin Lao had already seen through his nature, so he made excuses for not agreeing to the marriage.

"Old Shi, don't be in a hurry about tasting tea. If you want to drink, you can drink it every day. Now I am interested in what Li Mo said just now. No matter what is wrong with this picture, I still want to understand it, otherwise you It doesn't make any sense for two young men to point their fingers at malt."

His grandson didn't have the guts, but he couldn't let the matter just go like this.

Li Mo looked at Mr. Qin.

Elder Qin and Elder Shi looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Curiosity is in everyone's nature, and we two old guys are also very curious. If you have any different appraisal conclusions, just tell us."

This is to show Li Mo that no matter what the conclusion is, they will get the bottom line.
