Chapter 023: Calligraphy and Painting Identification

"Old Lin, you are here just in time. I will introduce you to two new children I met. This is Jin Can and Xiao Jinzi. Is the name particularly nice? The first time I heard this name, I felt warm. This is Xu Qingxuan and Xiao Xuanzi. He is amazing. He is the descendant of Suzhou mahogany. At a young age, he has extraordinary wood carving skills. With time, his experience has improved, and it is very possible to become a master-level figure."

After Luo Hong introduced his newly married child, he pointed to Mr. Lin and said, "His name is Lin Bosong. You call him Grandpa Lin or Mr. Lin. This person is a professor in Fudan. Which college do you plan to take the exam in the future?"

Luo Hong’s so-called master-level figure can be regarded as putting Xu Qingxuan on the fire, which made Xu Qingxuan helpless, “Old Luo, I only like wood carvings in my daily life and I don’t plan to make a living from now on, so masters and the like have nothing to do with me. I just treat it as a pastime in my spare time.

"Discussion? Xiao Xuanzi is so polite? Mr. Luo is an old man in your wood carving industry. Although his skills are not as good as a master, his eyesight is not worse than that of a master. He has a good reputation for you, which means that you have the possibility of becoming a master. However, whether you can succeed depends on your future performance."

Mr. Lin has four characters in his name. He lacks wood in his five elements, and what he lacks is not a little bit, so his parents helped him get such a name. Maybe there are too many characters in wood, he has a bit straightforward temper, and speaks cheerfully.

"Hello, Mr. Lin. I heard from Mr. Luo that you are a professor of Fudan and are good at calligraphy and painting identification. We also have some hobbies about this. If you are willing, we should always ask you for advice."

Xu Qingxuan thought of the few calligraphy and paintings he had placed at home, and neither he nor Jin Can was a knowledgeable person. If he had dated such a person who was knowledgeable in antiques, he would have known the value of those calligraphy and paintings if he had the opportunity to ask more questions.

"What? You have calligraphy and paintings in your hand and need me to identify them?" Lin Bosong joked.

"Uh..." Xu Qingxuan's desire to speak but stopped not only aroused Lin Bosong's curiosity, but even Luo Hong became curious about him.

"Do you really have calligraphy and paintings in your hand?" the two asked almost at the same time.

Xu Qingxuan looked at Jin Can and said, "It's not my calligraphy and paintings, it's Cancan, it's something she got inadvertently before. We both came from ordinary families and had no ability to appreciate calligraphy and paintings at all. But I also felt that the calligraphy and paintings at home were extraordinary, so I would like to ask you to help us identify them."

"Then why are you still strolling here? Let's go back to your house to write and paint?" Lin Bosong was anxious.

Jin Can also felt that it was really hard to continue shopping today, so he agreed directly: "Those two grandpas, why don't we leave now?"

The four of them returned to the garden villa at just about ten o'clock in the morning. It was still early. As soon as Xu Qingxuan opened the courtyard gate, Luo Hong stepped into the courtyard, "Well, Xiao Xuanzi, is this your house? This villa is not cheap. It seems that your family still has some wealth."

"Haha, it was also passed down from ancestors. Later, my aunt stayed in Haicheng and bought a garden villa nearby. She was very optimistic about its appreciation space, so she suggested that my parents buy this villa. Now my parents admire my aunt's vision very much. At that time, I only spent hundreds of thousands, but now I may have to spend millions."

As soon as Xu Qingxuan finished his words, Luo Hong asked, "Xiao Xuanzi, what does your aunt do?"

"My aunt is like Professor Lin, and is also a professor of Fudan, but she is from the Department of Economics." Before Xu Qingxuan finished speaking, Lin Bosong asked, "Is your aunt's name Xu Renhui?"

"Yes, my aunt is Xu Renhui." Xu Qingxuan nodded.

"Then I know you, although I'm not very familiar with you, I usually nodded. I didn't expect you to be her nephew. Your aunt is famous in our school. Not only is she popular among students in the economics department, but she also likes to take her classes in the whole school."

After Lin Bosong learned that Xu Qingxuan was the nephew of his colleague, he smiled more and spoke more intimately. You should know that his youngest son took Xu Renhui's class.

"Haha, Haicheng is really too small. I thought the children I met today should be strangers, but I didn't expect that they would be considered familiars after going around. Professor Xu, I also know her. I have dealt with her before. Not only is she good at academic research, she has studied the economic system very deeply, and has also made many constructive suggestions for the economic development of our country. "Lao Hong was a senior official in Haicheng before retirement, and was in charge of the economy, so he had a lot of dealings with Xu Renhui.

"Cancan, go upstairs to get the calligraphy and paintings, I'll wait below."

"Okay, I'll go upstairs to take it." Jin Can and Xu Qingxuan had a tacit understanding. She didn't plan to take out all the calligraphy and paintings, so she planned to take two characters and one painting. If there were too many, it would be worth remembering.

Jin Can walked downstairs with three boxes in his arms, put the box on the coffee table, waved his hand and said, "Old Luo, Old Lin, please see, please see, both of you."

"Huh? Is this red sandalwood? Or old sandalwood, it should have a history of hundreds of years. This box is valuable just by looking at it! Lao Lin, hurry up, let's open it. "Luo Hong is self-aware. He has studied wood, but he really only has the eight orifices of calligraphy and painting, so he can only urge Lin Bosong to get started quickly.

"Then I started to take a look. "Lin Bosong first opened one of the boxes, and now the calligraphy and paintings inside were preserved very well, which was very gratifying. "The calligraphy and paintings are extraordinary just by looking at the paper. They are famous Jinsu Mountain hidden paper in the Song Dynasty. I will open it first to see the content inside."

"Oh my God, this is Li Cheng's "Picture of the Cold Forest and Plain Field"? How come this is in Jin Can's hands? "In Lin Bosong's memory, this painting is collected in the Palace Museum in Taipei.

"What's wrong, Lao Lin?" Luo Hong asked.

Lin Bosong looked at the scroll without turning his eyes and said, "The soul of Li Cheng's brushwork in landscape paintings lies in the beauty of its lines. His brushwork can not only show the climate change of mist and fog and wind and rain, but also show the beautiful landscape of nature, with the characteristics of gloomy weather, clear and vast smoke and forests, bright and bright hair, and subtle ink. As Guo Ruoxu, a native of the Song Dynasty, said in "Pictures and Learnings": "The hair is bright and the ink method is the masterpiece of Yingqiu." This Li Cheng's painting was called a divine product by later generations. After his death, his paintings were even more rare. Many people imitated his paintings almost reached the level of being indistinct. But when I look at this painting, it is really not a imitation, but a genuine work of Li Cheng! But there is another painting in Taipei, and I don't know whether that painting is true or not?"

"No matter whether it is true or false, we only need to know whether this one is true!" Luo Hong looked happy. He was afraid that the world would not be in chaos and wanted the paintings of Taipei to be real. If the other party knew that Jin Can had a genuine Li Cheng painting in his hand, it would be fun to think about the picture.

"Old Lin, Mr. Luo, Jin Can and I are both ordinary students. I, I hope we have calligraphy and paintings in our hands, only the four of us present know about it. I don't want our peaceful life to be disturbed!" Xu Qingxuan sighed in his heart that fortunately he didn't take out all the calligraphy and paintings, otherwise, there would be a real possibility of accidents.
