Chapter 173: Wu Zhen

Gu Changshun quickly came down from upstairs, holding a long box in his hand. He opened the box on the coffee table and took out a painting.

The scroll is unfolded, and a picture of plum blossoms is displayed in front of the eyes. The plum branches are slanted out, and the branches are simple and sparse. The plum blossoms bloom at the intersection of the branches.

Gu Changshun pointed at the painting and said, "The brushstrokes of this painting are very fine. How could there be any problems?"

Gui Rongjiu and Mei Chaoning looked at each other, neither of them wanting to say anything more. They also saw that Gu Changshun cared very much about the painting, and to say it seriously would offend others.

Fatty Liu also smiled awkwardly and did not speak.

Yang Bo frowned, "When Wang Mian painted this painting, he lived in poverty. Reading and painting were his after-farm activities. He sold paintings to earn a living, so his paintings are like those of ordinary scholar-bureaucrats, who entertained themselves with the wind and the moon, soothing their sorrows and hatred.

It’s different.”

"There is no cotton wool to survive the winter, the leaks in the thatched house cannot be repaired, the crops cannot withstand the drought, the home is broken and there is no food, and the wife is hungry, so he has no choice but to pick wild vegetables to satisfy his hunger. Under this situation, he would rather farm and sell paintings to survive.

He doesn’t want to go to rich families to beg for food. Therefore, the plum blossoms he draws will have a kind of resilience and character!"

Yang Bo glanced at the painting twice and didn't say much. He didn't study much about calligraphy and painting, but the character of some calligraphy and painting can still be seen in general. Of course, Yang Bo's biggest uncle is his eyes, because he can see

, there is something wrong with this painting!

The brilliance flashed and the aperture formed. Yang Bo was immediately stunned. This painting actually formed two apertures! One thick and one thin, just like the unveiling painting he bought originally!

This one is somewhat different in that the thicker aperture should represent the Yuan Dynasty, which is about the same time as the "Mo Mei Scroll" was painted, while the thinner aperture should be around the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

The situation surprised Yang Bo.

Gu Changshun glanced at Yang Bo and then at Gui Rongjiu. Seeing Gui Rongjiu nodding, he sighed, "It has been twenty years since I bought this painting. I was selling this painting to me back then."

The artist who painted the painting is already a famous artist. In the past twenty years, I have taken out this painting less than five times. I really didn’t expect the result to be like this!"

As he spoke, Gu Changshun walked forward quickly, holding both ends of the painting with both hands, and opened his arms, intending to tear the painting apart. Yang Bo was startled, and quickly took two steps towards Gu Changshun and exclaimed: "Gu

Boss, slow down!"

Gu Changshun hesitated, so after Yang Bo's reminder, he quickly stopped.

Yang Bo took the painting from Gu Changshun's hand and felt relieved. When he saw Gu Changshun's reaction before, he wanted to hide it. Of course it was not to find out, but there was some darkness in his heart and he wanted to take revenge. It was just

I didn't expect Gu Changshun to act so vehemently!

Yang Bo was forced to this step and had to ask Gui Rongjiu: "Will Teacher Gui reveal the painting?"

"Revealing the painting?" Gui Rongjiu was a little surprised, then his eyes widened and he looked at the painting in Yang Bo's hand, "What do you mean?"

Yang Bo nodded.

Gui Rongjiu stared at the painting, and when he saw that Yang Bo's reaction didn't seem to be fake, he pointed at Mei Chaoning and said, "Lao Meihui."

Of course, Mei Chaoning could understand what Yang Bo meant. When he saw Yang Bo put down the painting, he quickly walked over and observed it carefully. Just now, everyone's attention was attracted by the content of the painting, and no one noticed the thickness of the paper.

After being reminded by Yang Bo, Mei Chaoning finally discovered something suspicious when he went to look again.

"It is indeed very possible to reveal the painting!" Mei Chaoning said to Gu Changshun.

Gu Changshun saw some improvement, but he didn't seem to understand it very well. He asked Fatty Liu beside him: "What is a painting reveal?"

"There is another painting hidden under this painting." Fatty Liu's explanation was concise and concise, and Gu Changshun understood it immediately.

Seeing Mei Chaoning busy, Gu Changshun quickly became excited. He had never seen such a scene before, and he didn't understand what it was like to hide a painting inside a painting. But he knew better that if the painting was really revealed today, even if

Even if the paintings inside are not valuable, he will be very excited.

Mei Chaoning moved skillfully, took the razor blade, sprayed a few water on it, and started to take action.

Yang Bo had seen it before, so he wasn't too curious. Fatty Liu blinked at Yang Bo and gave a thumbs up.

Soon, Mei Chaoning's movements began to slow down, but the lower layer was clearly unveiled, and the painting was gradually revealed.

It wasn't until Mei Chaoning stopped that everyone saw the true appearance of the painting below.

In the painting, huge rock cliffs protrude from the stream bank. A fisherman in a wooden boat is watching the water waves for traces of fish, holding his breath and raising the net to cast. A boy in the boat is paddling along the water. The stream is winding, overgrown with stubborn rocks and weeds, and the water surface is as calm as water.

.In the center of the painting, the cliffs are covered with weeds and vine leaves, and the sky in the distance stands like a wash.

When he saw the signature, Yang Bo suddenly looked shocked!

Gu Changshun couldn't understand the meaning of this painting and couldn't help but ask: "How is this painting? How does it compare with the previous painting of plum blossoms?"

"It's far off!" Guirongjiu said.

"How far? How could it be so different?" Gu Changshun stared at the painting in front of him. No matter how rich he was, he would still have some emotions when facing a painting that meant a lot to him.

Gui Rongjiu stared at the painting and responded unconsciously. Only then did he realize that he had said the wrong thing, "I mean that painting is far worse than this one!"

"Wang Mian's ink plum blossoms are very famous, and the work in front of him is also the work of a Yuan Dynasty painter, but this one is Wu Zhen, one of the four great painters of the Yuan Dynasty!"

"Wu Zhen?" Gu Changshun asked in surprise, "Is he famous?"

Gui Rongjiu was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that Gu Changshun did not know this Yuan Dynasty painter.

"Wu Zhen, together with Huang Gongwang, Ni Zan and Wang Meng, is one of the Four Yuan Dynasty painters. He has extraordinary painting skills, especially fishermen. Although many people don't know him, his paintings cost one hundred per square inch.

More than ten thousand!" Gui Rongjiu introduced.

Gu Changshun was a little surprised, but then he became happy again, "So awesome!"

"How much can this painting sell for?" Gu Changshun couldn't help but asked quickly.

"Six to seven million!" Gui Rongjiu thought for a while and then gave a quotation, which is almost the average market price in recent years.

Gu Changshun was not short of such a small amount of money, but he was still very excited about his discovery.

Gu Changshun turned to look at Yang Bo, his eyes had changed. He was still a little disdainful just now, but now he was filled with admiration, "Boss Yang, thank you very much for today!"
