treasure hunter

After Pei Miao and Wang Huijun got into the car, they opened the window halfway, which made the interior of the car much brighter. Pei Miao picked up the Ru Kiln brush and washer, put it on the tea table in the car, and turned on the lights in the car.

Wang Huijun looked at this brush washer, rubbed his hands together excitedly, and said, "Can I have a look at it?"

"Yes." Pei Miao smiled and nodded.

Wang Huijun carefully picked up the brush to wash and stroked it lightly. He felt cool, thick, and extremely simple in his hand. When he examined it carefully, he found that the whole body was covered with cracks, which is also one of the important characteristics of Ru kiln.

This is a round brush washer with a simple shape. It looks like a big plate as a whole, but it is much higher than the plate. The most important thing is that this brush washer is very well preserved without any bumps or discoloration. The appearance is almost perfect .

After looking at the front for a long time, Wang Huijun turned it over to look at the bottom. The circle foot (similar to the bottom of a household bowl), inside the circle foot, there are three small bumps the size of sesame seeds. These three small bumps are not simple. They are the three points that support the whole porcelain when firing the porcelain. Because other parts of the whole porcelain are glazed, they should not be in contact with anything when firing the porcelain. Only at the top of the firing fulcrum is the pinpoint-sized fetal quality exposed, and the rest of the place is full of glaze.

"It's unimaginable." Wang Huijun exclaimed, "As far back as the Song Dynasty, such exquisite full-glazed porcelain could be fired. The porcelain I want to collect most in my life is Ru kiln and Yuan blue and white porcelain. Unfortunately, I have never encountered it. Although today I didn’t get it, but I finally saw it and even touched it with my own hands, haha, it’s a worthwhile trip.”

Pei Miao joked, "Don't you doubt the authenticity of this thing?"

Wang Huijun laughed and said: "To be honest, I doubted it at first, but I still believe in your vision. Although my eyesight is limited, I have also visited many Ru kilns in museums, and the research on Ru kiln is also quite impressive. There are many other antiques, I can't see any traces of fakes, even the patina is so thick, it really doesn't look fake."

Pei Miao gave a thumbs up and praised: "It seems that you, Uncle Wang, have worked hard on the identification of Ru Kiln. This Ru Kiln brush wash is indeed genuine. How about it, Uncle Wang, I will take this brush wash back and put it away first." The shop is in charge, and when I want to sell it, I will definitely choose to sell it to you first, how about it?"

"Really?" Wang Huijun was surprised and excited when he heard the words, "Don't frame me!"

Pei Miao smiled and nodded: "Really, if you want to sell, you will definitely be the priority."

"Then it's settled!" Wang Huijun put down the Ru Kiln brush washer excitedly, and said, "Put it away, let's take a look at the painting again."

Pei Miao put away the washer, took out the painting, and spread it out slowly on the tea table. Wang Huijun didn't have much research on calligraphy and painting, after all, calligraphy and painting are the most difficult among antiques.

"This is... Qiu Ying's painting?!" Wang Huijun exclaimed. Although he has no research on calligraphy and painting, Qiu Ying's name has long been known to him. If he has never heard of Qiu Ying, he should stop collecting it and tell it. It's too embarrassing.

Pei Miao smiled and nodded: "Yes, Qiu Ying's painting."

"Really?" Wang Huijun couldn't believe it, after all, Qiu Ying's paintings were too expensive, so expensive that it was outrageous.

Pei Miao said: "Let's study it carefully now, and then we will know whether it is true or not."

"Okay, study carefully..." Wang Huijun nodded again and again, looking at the painting carefully.

While looking at the painting, Pei Miao explained: "Chou Ying has learned from others. He is good at both color and ink. His paintings do not go to extremes. Unlike some painters' works, they are either magnificent or indifferent, but they pursue A kind of elegant and delicate elegant atmosphere, in his paintings, all the landscapes are fresh and far away, you can see that the landscapes in this painting are very in line with Qiu Ying's landscape characteristics."

"Hmm..." Wang Huijun didn't quite understand it at first, but after what Pei Miao said, he really felt that the mountains and rivers in this painting were elegant and fresh, giving people a refreshing feeling. Wang Huijun couldn't help fantasizing that he entered the painting Let's take a good look at such a beautiful world.

Pei Miao went on to say: "Although Qiu Ying and Tang Bohu Wen Zhengming are from the same age, they are very different from Tang Bohu and Wen Zhengming. Tang Bohu and the others came from rich and noble backgrounds. People who are full of self-confidence are full of self-confidence, and their personality is very arrogant. Qiu Ying was born in a poor family and was out of school when she was young. She loved painting since she was a child. His background and insufficient cultural background have led to his lack of character. Let’s call it lack of self-confidence. Therefore, he seldom leaves poems and postscripts in his paintings. Any poems and prose inscriptions only have signature stamps on the edge."

"Really!" Wang Huijun exclaimed happily.

Pei Miao continued: "The biggest feature of Qiu Ying's paintings is that he does not stick to a certain genre. As I said before, he draws on the strengths of others. In terms of landscape painting, he generally has three major techniques. One is relatively pure. Daqing mountains and green waters, the mountains and rocks do not need to be finely textured after outline, the foot of the mountain is divided with ocher, and the stone surface is dyed with green and heavy colors, and then each surface is dyed with stone green, or divided with azurite, so that the colors of each mountain are harmonious and different, Trees, clouds and hills are finely outlined. The second is the combination of blue and green painting and ink painting. Usually, the nearby mountains and rocks are finely chopped with a small axe, and are dyed with green and azurite by the blue and green method. The color is not condensed. Far away Feng does not make cracked brushes, but is dyed with flower blue or azurite, stone green and ink stains, which seems to have the spirit of Dong Yuan or Shen and Wen's painting methods; Liu Songnian and Li Tangyuan practiced the family method. The rocks were split with a fine brush and small axe, and the facets were finely divided. Then they were soaked with ink in a dark place, and then immediately dyed with clear water. The silk ground does not absorb water, so it can produce ambiguous and harmonious flavors. , a glimpse of the influence of the Wu School painting. The tree method enhances the interest of turning, and the leaves are lined with leaves, and the leaves are distinct, and each branch and leaf are all in line with the real scene."

According to what Pei Miao said, Wang Huijun carefully searched for the details of these painting methods in the painting, and found that many places were mutually confirmed with what Pei Miao said, which made Wang Huijun very excited.

After finishing speaking, Pei Miao continued: "It's a pity that Qiu Ying's paintings were not as famous as those of Tang Bohu, Wen Zhengming and others at that time, because he was able to draw from others' strengths and his painting methods were mixed. At that time, he could only be regarded as a minority painter, but later But it is sought after by others, and has a profound influence on future generations of painters, so that future generations of painters know that painting should not be limited to one genre, I think, this is why Qiu Ying's paintings are so valuable."

Wang Huijun murmured after hearing the words: "After listening to your story, I think the most valuable thing about Qiu Ying is that they have no arrogance. He is willing to learn other people's painting styles and dare to try. He will always have the heart of an apprentice." The heart is constantly making progress and learning, unlike some arrogant people who think that Lao Tzu is the best in the world."

"Yes." Pei Miao nodded in agreement, "Uncle Wang's idea coincides with mine. Qiu Ying's paintings are the same as his people's. They are constantly making progress and learning, pursuing a higher realm."

When talking about antiques, Pei Miao became excited. He has a wealth of knowledge, answered many of Wang Huijun's doubts, and also popularized a lot of knowledge about antiques to Wang Huijun. It was a shameful thing, but I listened humbly to Pei Miao's details on identifying antiques, from calligraphy and painting to porcelain, from porcelain to jade, from jade to bronze and miscellaneous items.

It is hard for Wang Huijun to imagine why such a young person knows so much about antiques.

Pei Miao's knowledge of antiques is indeed very deep. This is not due to supernatural powers, but the knowledge he has accumulated from reading books, because he has worked so hard. If he hadn't obtained the supernatural powers at the beginning, with his hard work, he would only need to By the age of 30 or so, he can also make a name for himself in the antique world.

After talking for more than an hour, the moving vehicle sent by Jin Dawei finally arrived. It is a large van with a length of more than 9 meters. The compartment can be opened from the side, and it is fully automatic, which is convenient for moving goods. Such a vehicle Only professional moving companies will have it. The driver is Zhao Lei, in his 30s, and he and Afa also know each other. After all, they were colleagues before.

In order for the driver to drive more steadily and slowly on the road, Pei Miao personally greeted Zhao Lei with a cigarette and called him Brother Zhao, which made Zhao Lei very flattered. He knew that Pei Miao was Mr. If you are negligent, immediately pat your chest to assure that you must drive carefully on the road and make no mistakes.

Everyone worked together to move the four armchairs into the car. The bottom of the car was covered with a thick layer of foam, and it was a whole piece of foam board that completely covered the bottom of the car. They dug out some small holes in the foam board and put The feet of the chair are tucked in so that the chair is fixed and will not move in the compartment even if the car is braked suddenly.

Even so, Pei Miao was still not at ease, and sent four bodyguards to sit on the chairs, so that nothing would happen.

Why does Pei Miao attach great importance to this set of armchairs? Because it is expensive. This set of armchairs is different from Ruyao brush washers and Qiu Ying's paintings. Ruyao brush washers and Qiu Ying's paintings are not big, so they are easy to carry and store. It's too big, and it's a big problem to carry it. If the chair slides in the carriage and collides, Pei Miao will probably feel distressed to death.

Everything was ready, Pei Miao said goodbye to Tian Gui, got into the Lincoln car, and set off. The truck drove in front, and Ah Fa followed behind in the Lincoln car. In order to ensure the safety of the armchairs in the car, the car drove slowly.
