Li Mo moved the mahogany box to the desk outside, opened the box and took out a volume of paintings. He held his breath and slowly opened it, and a familiar painting style rushed towards him.
Lotus, stone, mandarin duck.
Li Mo looked at Ji Shi, it looked like "crying with laughter", which is the effect of the four characters of "Bada Shanren".
In his strange pupils, this painting emits a dark gray luster, and the halo spreads three to four hundred times, as if the whole world has turned into gray.
There is no doubt that this is the authentic work of Bada Shanren [Lotus Stone Mandarin Duck].
"It's terrible to be uneducated." Li Mo said deeply to the prodigal son of the master's family. If he had the heart, this study and this secret room could save him, but unfortunately...
"Xiao Mo, whose painting is this?"
Liu Yingying and her mistress Song Yuanning were looking at the painting around the desk. They could probably guess how extraordinary the painting was.
"Niu Shihui's brother, the original of Bada Shanren." Li Mo calmed down, carefully rolled it up and continued, "I thought I just picked up Niu Shihui's leak, but I didn't expect that the real big leak was still in the secret room behind the study."
"Is it more precious than the five screens of [Bamboo and Stone Solitary Birds]?"
"In terms of artistic achievements, Bada Shanren is a bit higher, and the value of this painting is much higher."
Li Mo remembered what Mr. Qin had said. The deceased financial tycoon in the Magic City had bought a painting of Bada Shanren for over 100 million at an auction a few years ago, but he didn't know if it was the one in front of him. One pair.
Li Mo put this painting together with Niu Shihui's painting, and his eyes fell on the second painting in the mahogany box.
"Xiao Mo, look at the second picture quickly. It might be another Bada Shanren painting."
Li Mo took out the second picture and opened it slowly, and then his whole body became worse. Even the mother and daughter who were watching showed shocked expressions.
The second picture is almost the same as the first picture, both in terms of composition and content. Looking at the inscription and seal, it is difficult to tell any difference with the naked eye.
"The two paintings are almost the same, Xiao Mo, what's going on?"
Even Li Mo was a little confused. The first one was definitely an authentic work. Logically speaking, the second one was certainly not made by Bada Shanren, and that was a forgery.
Li Mo looked at it with his strange eyes. The second painting showed a milky white luster, but the aperture also spread out two to three hundred times. This means that even if it is a modern imitation, it still has great artistic achievements and value.
He really couldn't think of any amazing master who could imitate such an artistic masterpiece.
"Xiao Mo, is this fake?"
Li Mo nodded slightly, then shook his head.
"You nodded and shook your head again. What do you mean?" Liu Yingying was anxious.
"The first one is the original work of Bada Shanren. Although the second one is a forgery, the person who painted it has a great background, and the level of his ink painting has reached the level of a great master of traditional Chinese painting. I need to spend time to identify who it is from. hand."
Li Mo put away the second imitation and put all seven paintings into the mahogany box. Anyway, I can’t figure it out for the moment, so I’ll find time to ask Mr. Qin for advice later.
"Good things, all good things." Yanagawa Kei walked out of the secret room in amazement. Ever since Li Mo escaped from death, he has been so lucky. Not to mention anything else, just the Ming and Qing Dynasties and the Republic of China period in the secret room. The number of genuine porcelain he produced was more than the number of genuine porcelain he had ever sold.
As for the porcelain that has not yet been determined, let's wait for Xiao Mo to authenticate it in person.
"Dad, just stare at those porcelains, don't you worry about the bottles and jars? Xiao Mo just discovered the original work of Bada Shanren, and there is also a copy."
Yanagawa Qing looked at Li Mo and asked him what was going on?
"Calligraphy and painting are not our strong point, but I already know a master at it, and I will ask him for advice later."
"Don't forget etiquette." Yanagawa Kei reminded.
"Hehe, he likes porcelain, calligraphy and painting, I will choose one for him."
"Isn't this too expensive?"
"It's not expensive. That old man is not simple. He wanted to give me an inkstone, the only one in the world that belonged to Su Shi."
Li Mo was very proud. Although there was no market reference price for Su Shi's Tibetan Inkstone, compared with Ji Xiaolan's Tibetan Inkstone, it was still worth about 10 million.
The only thing he likes is.
"Master, do you want to use some of these porcelains to put in Guyunxuanli to create a scene?"
"No, I wouldn't feel at ease if I put it there."
"Then put it in the secret room first, and then slowly tidy it up when it is empty. In the afternoon I will buy some bedding, household appliances, etc., and I will move here when my parents come back. They like romance, and this place is just right for them. I can just live in the old house by myself."
"Let Yingying accompany you this afternoon. Girls, please be more careful and we won't follow you around."
"Dad, it's all up to me. I won't make any money, but I will spend it."
Before Li Molin went out, he asked the real estate agent to come over and clear away all the books on the bookcase, and then took a taxi with Yingying to leave.
"Yingying, if you tell me where you are going on your graduation trip, you can make some travel strategies in advance. Otherwise, when you arrive at a strange place, your eyes will be dark and you will not have a good time."
"It will be kept secret for now."
…
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when we returned home to Shuxiang Mingyuan. Under Yingying's command, Yu Linglong Mansion was ready for occupancy. However, it was a bit lonely to live alone in such a large area, so my own kennel was the most comfortable.
Just as my phone was about to charge, I received a call. It was from Mr. Qin in Kyoto.
"Mr. Qin, haven't you rested yet?"
"I just came back from a walk. Let me tell you something. My precious granddaughter Si Rui is in Magic City today to film for a few days. You can go and see her when you have time."
"Old man, what do you mean by this? The relationship between me and Miss Sirui is not really boyfriend and girlfriend. You always know this. Besides, she is a big star. I probably was stopped outside before I even met her. ”
Mr. Qin burst out laughing: "Little friend Li, you don't understand my granddaughter. She has been too independent since she was a child, and she has a cold temper towards everyone. But didn't you also say that she is only cold on the outside but warm on the inside? Yes. She has talked about it a few times since you left last time, so how about you just help me check on her?"
"Okay, I'll go to the filming site tomorrow to have a look." Li Mo didn't agree to this. He changed the subject and said, "Old man, I want to ask you one more thing. Which of the modern Chinese painting masters likes to imitate famous paintings?"
"Whose painting is it imitating?"
"Bada Shanren."
Mr. Qin thought for a moment and then said: "There is a person who is very good at imitation. Not only has he imitated Bada Shanren, he is also good at imitating the paintings of Tang Yin, Shi Tao and others."
"Who is so arrogant?"
"Zhang Daqian!"
Li Mo was silent for a long time, Master Zhang's imitation, no wonder the artistic value is so high.
"Little friend Li, why do you suddenly ask about this?"
"I came across two identical paintings. The title and seal are both Bada Shanren. That means I encountered a real and fake painting, so I asked you for advice. I have the opportunity to go to Kyoto and take them over to you to see the palms and eyes. "
"It's settled, old man, I have always wanted to collect an authentic piece of Bada Shanren."
"No problem. If you like it, I'll buy some more calligraphy, paintings, porcelain and the like when I have time."
