Mr. Liu's eyes were bright and he said excitedly: "You are right, this is the most valuable part of the four pieces of calligraphy, and it is also the reason why they are auctioned as one item!"
Seeing how excited he was, Fangfang suddenly smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, I have never seen you so excited!"
"Uh!" Realizing that he had lost his composure, Mr. Liu was a little embarrassed, but he still said solemnly: "This was written when the four sons of the Wu family got together. I think this Hengtang Spring Festival must be a grand event for literati to recite poems, paint, dance, and write. , I’m so excited just thinking about it!”
Mr. Liu seemed to be in daydream, his face turned red. Then, he stared at the words carefully, but his fingers danced in front of him, copying them out of thin air.
Fangfang smiled and said: "Mr. Liu, no wonder everyone says you are obsessed with calligraphy!"
Mr. Liu also smiled and said: "Greed, anger and ignorance, everyone must be guilty of the same thing. I don't dare to be greedy, and I don't like to be angry, so I can only be obsessed with it!"
Although Zhou Zhou had seen it briefly before, he still said excitedly when he saw it again: "I don’t know what the Hengtang Spring Festival was like, but there is no record of it in history. It must be a gathering of old friends and a half-day spring outing." Bar!"
Su Xing didn't know how to answer. It couldn't be said that I also participated and won the position of Jiangnan Literary Leader. Even these four works were framed by others.
He nodded and wanted to see if he would be questioned.
Sure enough, someone questioned it, it was still the Jade Crazy Master. He turned to Gongsun Liang and said, "Old Gongsun, what's going on? Why do these scrolls, backing paper, and rice paper look so new? They can't be fakes!"
When he said this, everyone started talking.
Mr. Liu also frowned, because what Yu Chi said was reasonable, but the level of these four words was so high that he had only seen it in his life. In his opinion, if we use the terminology of the martial arts world, these four characters have reached the state of perfection and perfection. He has seen the authentic works of Er Wang, Yan Zhenqing, Zhao Mengfufu and others, as well as the authentic works of Tang Zhu, Wen and Xu. He felt that these four calligraphy paintings were definitely comparable to or even surpassed the preface to the Lanting Collection, and of course were above the other works by Tang, Zhu, Wen, and Xu. If it was a fake, how could anyone have such high skills and attainments today?
Thinking of this, he stood up and said: "Master Yu Chi, I think the level of these four calligraphy paintings is not inferior to that of Erwang Yan Zhao Dongou. They can be said to be masterpieces! So they must be authentic, and they are peerless authentic! As for why they are so new, I think It may be that after these four works were framed, they were stored somewhere and were never shown to anyone or circulated! Therefore, there are not so many seals on these four works!"
When he said this, Jade Chi couldn't help but nodded and said: "This gentleman is right. The level of these four works is the only one I have ever seen in my life!"
Gongsun Liang breathed a sigh of relief. At least they recognized that the level of the four works was beyond the reach of today's people.
However, he was still sincere and stood up and said: "Everyone, I, Jiuzhou Auction House, take the lead in being honest. I must inform everyone of the results of our appraisal!"
"Mr. Gongsun, please speak." Mr. Liu immediately clasped his fists and said.
"According to the identification of my colleagues and I, these four works were all written on the same day. The paper and ink are the same, but the time is not long ago, which makes me very confused. This is one. Second, the fabric and lining of this scroll Paper and rice paper are also strange, especially the craftsmanship of rice paper that I have never seen before. It seems that it is not something that can be achieved by the craftsmanship of the Ming Dynasty or contemporary times. Even the rice paper of the Tang and Song Dynasties cannot compare. Thirdly, we use carbon ten Si measured the material of the scroll fabric and found that it is more than three thousand years old, and the axis is also a rare jade. You can take a look at the side of the scroll..."
Liang Xiaoling on the stage immediately asked four staff members to show one side of the scroll to everyone, and a close-up of the axis was also shown on the big screen.
The jade fanatic immediately exclaimed: "It is indeed a creamy white jade, very greasy, and has a transparent feeling!"
Gongsun Liang said: "Yes, this kind of jade is similar to Hetian jade, but it is greasier and more transparent to the touch... haha..." He paused and his old face turned red, "It really looks like a young woman's skin!"
Before he finished speaking, the whole venue was filled with laughter.
Gongsun Liang continued:
"So, I couldn't understand at first, what kind of works need to use such beautiful jade as the axis! In addition, what puzzles me the most is how can the age of cloth last for more than three thousand years without decay, and our Chinese The history of civilization is only five thousand years old, which puzzles me. However, after seeing the craftsmanship and year of the Ruyi Suzaku that was just auctioned, and the objects that will be auctioned later, I feel that it is completely understandable. Because our Chinese civilization is far more than five thousand years!"
After everyone listened to Mr. Gongsun's words, they immediately understood that this was another set of auction items that would change perceptions just like the Ruyi Suzaku.
Gongsun Liang nodded towards Xuanyuan Ling and gave her the right to speak.
Xuanyuan Lingdao: "We named these four calligraphy works-Four Sons Contesting for Saints! Some people even think that the calligraphy attainments of the four great talents of Tang, Zhu, Wen, and Xu have reached the pinnacle. It can be said that the book The holy product may be comparable to the first line of the book Lanting's preface, or even better!"
"Who thinks so?" Mr. Liu couldn't help but feel very excited after hearing this, thinking that someone actually thought the same as me.
"It's Mr. Dong from the Chinese Calligraphy Association, Mr. Dong Changming!"
When everyone heard that it was Mr. Dong Changming, they immediately exclaimed:
"Mr. Dong is a master of calligraphy and painting. He is highly respected and admired by thousands of people!"
"Mr. Dong has recovered several treasures from abroad and donated them to several museums!"
"Yes! It is said that he is also a descendant of Dong Qichang!"
"Everyone says that in the past there were two kings who were passed down from generation to generation, but now there are two kings who have been passed down from generation to generation!"
Xuanyuan Ling said: "When we took the photos and sent them to Mr. Dong, Mr. Dong was pursuing a lost calligraphy treasure in Britain. However, after he saw our photos, he wanted to buy it directly. I said no, He said he wanted to participate in the auction through the Internet! I agreed verbally, but I declare that I must respect the opinions of my friends at the scene and ask them first if they can! Do you agree to let Mr. Dong participate in the auction together? "
Everyone nodded.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Ling asked someone to video chat with Mr. Dong, and projected the video on one side of the big screen. At the same time, he also sent the scene of the meeting to Mr. Dong.
After the screen appeared, everyone saw that it was Mr. Dong Changming, and everyone greeted him one after another.
Mr. Dong solemnly said: "Thank you for allowing me to participate in the auction online. I am also excited. I didn't expect to be in a coffin, but I can still encounter a masterpiece. This life is really worth it! I won't waste everyone. It’s time, let’s start the auction, but I have a request, please be merciful and let me win the auction, I will definitely be grateful!”
Everyone laughed!
Xuanyuan Ling immediately quoted the starting price, which was also 10 million, and each increase in price would not be less than 1 million.
Before she finished speaking, someone directly offered 50 million!
Then, in just ten seconds, it reached 400 million.
That was a woman in the second row holding plate No. 17. She is a representative of the Yanhuang Cultural Relics Protection Foundation. This foundation specializes in acquiring cultural relics, on the one hand to protect them, and on the other hand to inherit Chinese culture. She originally wanted to take pictures of the Ruyi Zhuque jewelry before, but his authorization limit was only 1 billion. Now, he felt that the opportunity had come again and he might be able to take a photo.
Mr. Dong on the big screen immediately recognized her and frowned slightly. However, he immediately reported:
"450 million!"
Then the two immediately entered into a fierce competition.
Soon, the lady reported 800 million.
Mr. Dong sighed and said to the lady: "Xiao Chen, you are so noble!"
The lady apologized and said: "Mr. Dong, I'm sorry. Secretary Zhang of our Yanhuang Cultural Relics Association just told me that I must take these four works. He has also seen the photos and told me long ago!" "
Mr. Dong said: "Xiao Chen, Brother Donglin is in charge of cultural relics, so he shouldn't be in charge of these calligraphy and paintings!"
The lady insisted: "Mr. Dong, I'm sorry, he promised to take the photo!"
Mr. Dong frowned, as if he had made a very important decision, stood up and shouted: "I will offer 900 million!"
