HPDBC Chapter 8
Chapter 8
Wen Zhengming's calligraphy and paintings are very limited. At Poly's auction a few years ago, a hand scroll of Wen Zhengming, miscellaneous chanting poems, sold for a sky high price of more than 80 million.
Now, although the ancient painting of Wen Zhengming taken out by Shen wenle is much smaller than the volume of Miscellaneous Poems, the price is also extremely terrible.
Looking at the unfolded ancient painting, Xia Shiyan's father came together excitedly, stared and observed carefully.
"Uncle Xia, when I bought it, the seller told me that this was Wen Zhengming's picture of orchid and bamboo in the wooden path."
Shen wenle explained.
"I just don't know whether it's true or false, so I'll take it today for uncle Xia to identify."
Shen wenle continued to perform. In fact, he spent a lot of money on this painting of wood path orchid and bamboo, and invited three treasure experts. How can he not know the authenticity of this ancient painting?
"The painting of orchid and bamboo on the wooden path?"
Xia Shiyan's father obviously heard of this ancient painting and was even more excited.
"Look at the layout of this painting and the composition of calligraphy. There should be no mistake."
After observing for a long time, Xia Shiyan's father spoke.
"Wait a minute. I'll invite old Chen to have a look."
After that, Xia Shiyan's father hurried out of the villa and went to another villa in Yunjian villa.
As a fanatical calligraphy and painting lover, it is an unforgettable experience if you can see the authentic work of Wen Zhengming, one of the four talents in Jiangnan.
To this end, Xia Shiyan's father specially invited old Chen.
Old Chen is a Taishan Beidou expert in Jiangzhou antique industry. Even in the whole south of the Yangtze River, old Chen is also a famous treasure master.
It happened that old Chen also lived in Yunjian villa and had a good relationship with Xia Shiyan's father.
Watching Xia Shiyan's father leave, Shen wenle showed a satisfied smile on his face. This is the effect he wants.
Xia Shiyan doesn't like him, so Shen wenle can only work hard on Xia Shiyan's parents.
Shen wenle crossed his legs and leaned back on the sofa with open arms. He asked Chu Chen playfully: "I don't know what calligraphy and painting this brother has prepared?"
Shen wenle is full of confidence at the moment. The painting of orchid and bamboo in the wooden path worth 13 million in his hand is one of the top calligraphy and painting.
He spent a lot of energy on this, but he didn't believe that Chu Chen could beat him in this regard.
"A word."
Before Chu Chen spoke, Xia Shiyan took the lead in refuting.
At the moment, Xia Shiyan is not in a good mood. She never expected that Shen wenle would come to intervene today, and even took an ancient painting worth more than ten million.
I just bought it with Chu Chen in the antique market. It's just hundreds of thousands of words. There's no way to compare the two.
"Ha ha."
Shen wenle had a bright smile on his face. He knew it in his heart.
He's sure to win this game!
Soon, Xia Shiyan's father came back with old Chen with white hair.
"Where is the painting of orchid and bamboo in the wooden path?"
As soon as Chen came in, he couldn't wait to ask. Chen had heard of the painting, but he hadn't seen it.
"Chen Lao."
Seeing old empress Chen, even the cynical Shen wenle stood up and said hello very politely.
However, Chen just nodded symbolically and went straight to the painting of wooden path and orchid bamboo, staring at it.
After watching it for ten minutes, old Chen said with unusual certainty:
"Authentic work, this is definitely the authentic work of Wen Zhengming!"
From Chen Lao's tone, it is not difficult to hear the excitement in his heart.
Chen Lao and Xia Shiyan's father gathered in front of the painting of wooden path and orchid bamboo and agreed again and again.
Seeing this scene, Shen wenle's smile on the corners of his mouth was even worse, and he glanced proudly at Chu Chen.
"Dad, Chu Chen also brought a pair of words. Don't you have a look?"
Can't bear it, Xia Shiyan specially reminded.
"Ah."
Hearing his daughter's voice, Xia Fu reluctantly left and came over, but the rest of his eyes was still on the picture of wooden path and orchid bamboo.
However, old Chen didn't mean to come over. He just focused on the painting of wood path and orchid bamboo, and had no interest in the words brought by Chu Chen.
Chen Laogen didn't believe that the words brought by Chu Chen could be more precious than this picture of wooden path and orchid bamboo.
Chu Chen slowly opened the ancient scroll, and suddenly a pair of flowing calligraphy appeared in front of him.
"Funeral post?!"
Just one look, Xia Shiyan's father immediately shouted out the name of the picture.
The "funeral Sutra" is much more famous than the "painting of orchid and bamboo on the wooden path".
It's nothing else, just because the "mourning post" is written by the calligrapher Wang Xizhi!
After walking over and watching for a while, Xia Shiyan's father said with great regret:
"Unfortunately, this is a copy of the Ming Dynasty. It would be nice if it were before the Ming dynasty or the Tang Dynasty."
