    He slowly opened the scroll, and the more he looked down, the more surprised he became. In the end, Chu Chen almost screamed out in shock.  This painting depicts the scene of late autumn in Japan. In the painting, the sky is high and the air is clear, the peaks are green and the trees are deserted, the houses are full of smoke, there are mountain men talking to each other, wild people drinking, and roosters crowing at noon. It is a beautiful painting full of life.  The breath of autumn colors is vast.  This painting can be said to have a profound artistic conception. It is both powerful and inviting to savor. At first glance, Chu Chen knew that this should be a masterpiece. When he saw the signature "Hong Guzi" and the many details,  When I saw the seal and inscription of a famous person, I immediately remembered the title and author of this painting.  Who is Hong Guzi?  It is Jing Hao, the founder of the basic model of panoramic landscape, the post-Liang painter of the Five Dynasties.  His courtesy name is Haoran and his nickname is Hongguzi. He has lived in seclusion in the Taihang Mountains all year round to avoid war.  He is good at painting landscapes. He studied under Zhang Hong and absorbed the majestic style of northern landscapes. His paintings are "with pen and ink, and water haloes ink seals."  , is the ancestor of the northern landscape painting school.  He claimed that he had both the skills of Wu Daozi¡¯s pen and Xiang Rong¡¯s ink, and created the expressive technique of water halo ink seals.  "Bi Fa Ji" is a classic work on the theory of ancient landscape painting. It proposes the "six essentials" of landscape painting including breath, rhyme, scenery, thought, brushwork and ink. It is a classic work on the theory of ancient landscape painting. It is more advanced than the earlier Southern Qi Dynasty.  Shaikh's "Six **" have developed and have higher theoretical value.  Critics of the past dynasties highly praised his artistic achievements. Shen Kuo of the Northern Song Dynasty wrote in "Picture Song": "The most wonderful words in the painting are landscapes, the peaks and mountains of Mojie rise from both sides. Li Cheng's pen conquers the chemical industry, Jing Hao's drawings describe thousands of miles. Fan Kuan and Shi Lan  The smokey forest is deep, and the dead wood is extremely difficult to compare with the Dongyuan monk in the south of the Yangtze River.  etc Jing Hao created a theory of landscape painting that emphasized both pen and ink, and was good at painting "Mountain Tops in the Clouds". He had already proposed that landscape painting must also "have both form and spirit" and "blend the scene". His works have been regarded as models of Song Dynasty painting, but it is a pity that they remain in the  There are very few works in the world, and the authenticity of the few paintings still remains doubtful.  Now that he knew the author of this painting and the content of the painting, Chu Chen immediately thought that this work should be "Chu", which was praised by Huang Gongwang of the Yuan Dynasty as "exquisite in bones and profound in thought".  "Mountain Autumn Evening Picture".  At that time, Huang Gongwang wrote a poem: "The sky is high and the sky is solemn. Ten thousand peaks are green, and the courtyards are filled with passing clouds and smoke. The paths are remote, and under the yellow leaves, you can still hear the crow of roosters at noon. The mountain old man has the secret of making an appointment, and the wild stranger has no intention.  Ren Zui woke up. The most beautiful autumn scenery was that Honggu was famous in those days." And this poem also appeared on the scroll as an inscription.  At this point, Chu Chen still doesn¡¯t understand that this painting should be the authentic work of Jing Hao¡¯s Chushan Autumn Evening Picture, and the result given by Qian Neng is indeed the same.  This result made him ecstatic. This was a masterpiece among the masterpieces handed down from generation to generation. He didn't expect that the stall owner would put it here like garbage, causing the orb to be covered with dust.  Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Chu Chen calmly put the painting back on the stall. Next, he pretended to look at several other works, and then asked the young stall owner: "Boss, what are these calligraphy and paintings doing?"  "Selling?" "Brother, what you have over there are some fine paintings and calligraphy. The cheapest ones cost five hundred yuan." "In fact, these paintings were all collected by the stall owner from one family at a very low price.  .  The original owner of these paintings did not understand painting but liked to buy paintings. As a result, he bought some fakes. In the end, this person passed away, and these paintings were sold to this stall owner as scraps.  "Stall owners won't look at things like this. The reason is obvious. If there are genuine items here, that family won't be as poor as they are now.  Chu Chen knew as soon as he heard it that this man must not have recognized the work of Jing Hao. He felt ecstatic in his heart, but on the surface he frowned and shook his head.  "Why, you don't like these paintings and calligraphy? Don't worry, I still have some good ones. Take a look at this one." As he said that, the stall owner took out a scroll from in front of him and placed it in front of Chu Chen.  Chu Chen chuckled. This stall owner really gave him a timely gift. He was just thinking about how to get that piece of work into his pocket. The boss sent this "pillow", and the matter was probably settled.  Unfolding the scroll, this is a running script work, written by Bai Juyi's "Reports on Calligraphy from the Pan-Taihu Lake", written by Niu Fubao. ? Niu Fubao, whose courtesy name is Youshen and whose name is Songquan, is named Fubao. He was the number one scholar in the 18th year of Daoguang's reign in the Qing Dynasty. He was promoted to Shaozhanshi in Zhanshifu.  As an official in the court, he mainly presides over examinations.  He has served as an examiner for many times and is famous for his fair selection and conscientious selection of scholars.  In his later years, he abandoned his official position and bought a wooden bridgehead mansion owned by the Hui merchant Wang family, named it "Lide Hall", and lived there to meditate on poetry and calligraphy.  He is good at calligraphy, especially small regular script, occasionally paints landscapes, is good at poetry and prose, and is full of calligraphy.  Chu Chen carefully identified it and finally confirmed that it was a buttonAuthentic Fu Bao.  After looking at it for a while, Chu Chen's face showed just the right amount of joy, then he raised his head and asked, "Boss, how much does this calligraphy work cost?" The young stall owner was very happy when he saw that Chu Chen was interested in this painting.  He said with a smile on his face: "Brother, the person who wrote this calligraphy is very famous. This person was the number one scholar in the Qing Dynasty. Think about it, this is the number one scholar. If nothing else, it's his" Chu Chen waved  He waved his hand, interrupted him and said: "Boss, don't talk about this. You are the number one scholar in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. You'd better tell the price quickly." "Hey, it seems that you are also knowledgeable, brother.  , In this case, I will give you a cheaper price and take away five thousand yuan." The young stall owner said it cheerfully. Hearing what he said, coupled with his age, people who don't know how to do it would really think that he had taken a big advantage.  Cheap.  When Chu Chen heard this, he sneered and said: "Boss, your price is really deceiving people. Niu Fubao is not a high official, and his calligraphy is not well-known. Even if he is the number one scholar, there were many number one scholars in the Qing Dynasty. Does it mean that the number one scholar must be the same?"  Is this calligraphy valuable? I am also planning to give it to my nephew for copying. Boss, if you are really serious about selling it, I will take it for one thousand yuan." "Hey, brother, you can pay for it.  In 1998, a piece of Niu Fubao's regular script work was auctioned for 2,800 yuan, a thousand yuan. I couldn't even take it. I'm not lying. It's 4,020 yuan. If you want it, take it.  "Not to mention, this stall owner has really carefully studied the value of this work. After all, it is not easy for people like them to get a decent authentic work. They have to squeeze out its value.  .  Chu Chen shook his head and said: "Boss, you also said that the works in the auction are regular script works, and Niu Fubao is good at small regular script. Of course, the price of running script cannot be compared, and there are many fees to pay at the auction. I think this thing costs a thousand  Five is good. " "Brother, you are really an expert, but I got this from someone else. I have to support my family, so you have to earn some for me. How about three thousand and five?"  It¡¯s too expensive, how about I add another three hundred?¡± ¡°For vendors like Gui Shi, they usually make money in a short period of time. Unless it¡¯s something worth more than a few dollars, they don¡¯t keep things in hand.  It takes too long. As long as the price is right, the transaction can be completed.  For example, this piece of work by Niu Fubao was paid by the stall owner for 500 yuan. One thousand and eighty yuan is not bad. However, since the author is relatively famous, the stall owner wanted to make more money, so he paid 3,000 yuan.  .  "Boss, this three thousand is really a bit expensive. Even if you go to the auction, it will only be this price, and you have to pay tax at the auction. Your price is really a bit high." "Yes, I see you like it too, then  I'll reduce it by three hundred, but it can't be any lower. If it's lower, you'd better go somewhere else." Chu Chen thought for a while, and two thousand seven was fine, but the key was not in this wording, so he pretended.  He frowned and thought for a while, then said: "Two thousand and seven, just two thousand and seven, but you have to give me five paintings to start with!" As he said that, he pointed to the pile of calligraphy and paintings just now.  "This can't be done!" The young stall owner shook his head and said: "These are all high-quality products, how can they be used as a companion?" Chu Chen sneered and said: "Come on, these are still high-quality products. They are obviously printed matter, okay? If I wasn't  I want to give my nephew a few copies, why would I want such a thing?¡± The young stall owner smiled dumbly and said, ¡°That¡¯s okay, but five is too many, only one at most!¡± ¡°Boss, you are too stingy!  Come on, how much does one piece cost? Four pieces!" One piece is enough, but if he agrees immediately, the stall owner may be suspicious, so Chu Chen will have to bargain a bit.  "Two!" "Three!" "Deal!" The stall owner thought, these paintings are not worth much anyway. Since he has made more than 2,000 yuan for this man, let's give him a taste of it.  However, if he knew that one of Jing Hao's works had the inscriptions and seals of Huang Gongwang and other famous artists, and he gave it away like this, he would probably be tempted to vomit blood.  Chu Chen "carefully selected" three pieces, including of course the work by Jing Hao. Then he ordered two thousand and seven from his bag and gave it to the stall owner. He picked up the four works, said a polite word, and turned around to leave.  With this item, the harvest from this trip to the ghost market can be said to be beyond Chu Chen's imagination. However, since he brought this priceless treasure, he would not be able to visit the ghost market. Such paintings are very fragile.  If you touch this painting, it will be too late to regret it.  And after all, this is a silk work that was written more than 1,100 years ago. Although it is well preserved, Chu Chen noticed just now that there are some bug eyes, mildew spots, and some minor damage on the scroll. Fortunately, it is still intact.Well, it did not affect the integrity of the painting, but even so, it still needs to be reframed as soon as possible.  Thinking of this, Chu Chen quickly looked around. Fortunately, Liu Sizhe was not far away, so Chu Chen quickly walked up to him, patted his shoulder and said, "How are you choosing the things?" (To be continued.)
