Chapter 895 General Manager

For more than a hundred years, people have believed that this masterpiece "Reclining Tour of Xiaoxiang" was destroyed in a sea of ​​fire, but unexpectedly, it fell into the hands of Liu Jianhua.

This famous painting is made of ink on paper, with a height of 30 centimeters and a width of an astonishing four meters. It is the pinnacle work of Master Li Gonglin, the first painter of the Song Dynasty.

The entire painting uses light ink as the main tone, with a broad artistic conception and wide openings and closings.

The use of ink shades successfully expresses the subtle light and shade of the atmosphere.

The painting depicts the vast Xiaoxiang landscape, depicts fishing boats and villages with delicate brushwork, and depicts trees with elegant brushwork.

It is majestic and lifelike.

The inscription indicates that it was painted for the Zen monk Yungu Zen Master.

According to legend, after traveling around the world, Zen Master Yungu of the Southern Song Dynasty lived in seclusion in Jindou Mountain in Wuxing, Zhejiang.

The biggest regret of Zen Master Yungu’s life is that he has not yet set foot in the Xiaoxiang landscape.

So he invited Li Gonglin to paint the beautiful scenery of Xiaoxiang for him. He hung the painting in his room and could enjoy the beautiful scenery while lying on the bed, so he called it "Xiaoxiang Sleeping Tour".

Li Gonglin is characterized by his strong and straight lines yet with varying thicknesses and shades, his solid and graceful compositions yet flexible and natural, and his paintings that are concise and concise yet full of variety.

The subject matter covers a wide range of people, pommel horses, landscapes, flowers and birds. It has both a sense of reality and a literati touch, and all the works are done without coloring. He is known as the "master of line drawing."

His works are regarded as treasures passed down from generation to generation by famous artists of later generations.

This painting is profound and layered.

Kaibai is Qianlong's imperial inscription: Qi swallows the clouds and dreams.

There are also inscriptions and postscripts by several famous writers in the blank space.

Dong Qichang of the Ming Dynasty wrote a postscript on the first volume: There are four famous volumes in the collection of Gu Zhongshe on the sea, namely Gu Kaizhi's "Nv Shi Zhi", Li Boshi's "Shu River Picture", "Nine Songs Picture", and this "Xiaoxiang Picture".

"Nu Shi" is in Li Xiang's family, "Nine Songs" is in Yu's family, "Xiaoxiang Picture" is in Chen Zi, who was involved in politics, and "Shujiang Picture" is in the family of General Wang Siyan in Xinyang, all of which are strange.

Dong Qichang's view of the same title.

Qianlong's Imperial Inscription 1: The mist and rain of Xiaoxiang are the best scenery of the Three Chus. Every time I read Su Shi's poem about the evening scene of Xiaoxiang in retro Song Dynasty, I often feel fascinated and regret not to see it.

Now I see the picture of Long Mian, and I don’t know which one is A or B. Playing again and again, the clouds, mountains and rivers are like lying down and swimming.

Dong's postscript contains four famous scrolls for the Gu family. Now they are scattered and combined, just like what happened in Fengcheng!

Qianlong's imperial knowledge.

Qianlong's Imperial Inscription 2: Suppose you don't look at the picture, Xiao and Xiang are conveyed in the air, two rainbows rush to the gorge to merge, one practices drinking for a long time, Dong Ji's original test.

Su Shi is forgettable, Xuan Huang is happy.

It's like looking at the vast sky, like a pine rock bank, with angry branches and winding branches. The portrait is Yi Ying alone, and the harmony rhymes with me.

The fishing village of Chuanming is quiet, and the city of Haihai is quiet.

Zen and total rap.

Why don't you look at it without saying anything, Baling is filled with smoke and trees.

The setting sun is as high as the sky. I was sent from afar to Sanshu. I sailed back to the five streams and lay there sweating. God relieved me of my hooves.

Gathering and dispersing for thousands of years are floating in the clouds west of the Xiangshui River. The inscription of the Five Emperors of the Xia Dynasty in Bingyin, Qianlong, is based on Su Dongpo's vintage painting of Xiaoyu's late scene from the Song Dynasty.

Postscript 1 of Ge Tan's running script in the Southern Song Dynasty: Zen Master Guizhu and a monk went to the state to see the peony pattern. The monk said: What a peony flower.

The master said: It's a pity that after promising a flower, someone presented a scroll and Fayan. Zen Master said: "You have a skillful hand and a skillful mind. I say that the heart is skillful. That, that is your heart."

This old man claimed that the true source of his speech was to vent his anger on the Buddha.

However, if a person walks along a grass road, he will encounter towering thorns; if a person sails a boat along the current, he will not feel the waves coming over him.

Zheng is like the old man Yuanzhao, without many notes.

There is a scroll of painting that can be criticized by anyone. When I come to Xinzhai, I can't help but talk a lot. Just like Luo Gongyong combing his hair.

Yuanzhao, an old man who is full of mulberry leaves and has a correct view, uses iron to make dough, but he also has to cry for Yu Yi. On the eleventh day of the eleventh month of Qian Dao Geng Yin, Ge Tanba, a layman from Xinzhai.

Zhang Guimo's running script postscript of the Southern Song Dynasty: Yungu Laozen showed the "Xiaoxiang Picture" to Zhu Zhai and asked for the postscript "Xiaoxiang Picture", which is like an idiot talking about a dream.

South

Song Zhangshen's postscript in running script: Teacher Yungu visited Daofang at a young age and traveled all over the mountains in the east and west of Zhejiang and Jiangxi.

There are more than a dozen inscriptions and postscripts by famous writers before and after, with a word count of more than 2,000. I will not go into details here.

"Traveling in Xiaoxiang" itself is Li Gonglin's pinnacle work, and with these praises and inscriptions, it becomes even more impressive.

Coupled with the interesting history of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties, it is no exaggeration to say that this painting is a legend.

What puzzled Lu Fei was why Liu Jianhua didn't use this painting at the treasure fighting conference.

The value of this painting is far higher than that of "Ten Dragons".

If Liu Jianhua used this painting, he would never be able to resist.

Xu Maochen guessed that the goal of this painting was too huge, and Liu Jianhua did not dare to show it to others.

Or perhaps, there is some unavoidable reason for this. ??

But that doesn't matter anymore.

The important thing is that now this legendary painting "Xiaoxiang Reclining Tour" is Lu Fei's trophy.

And it is the only treasure so far that can be collected openly.

This was enough to make Lu Fei excited.

The two brothers carefully read each word, and it wasn't until the little dog called to report that they finally came to their senses.

The little dog reported that Liu Peiwen was picked up by a power leader in Baodao and handed over to people from Baodao Christie's in Beishangen.

With the goal achieved, Lu Fei ordered the team to close.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Maochen asked.

"Brother, are you taking advantage of Liu Peiwen so much?"

Lu Fei smiled and said.

"Second brother, don't worry. If Liu Peiwen falls into their hands, it means life is worse than death."

"Even if Christie's lets him go, it's impossible for other creditors to let him go."

Xu Maochen handed Lu Fei a cigarette and said.

"Brother, please fish out the second brother. The second brother will be very grateful."

"But I can't eat for free!"

"If things continue like this, how can you be embarrassed by your second brother?"

"Look, how about you find something for the second brother to do."

"As long as I can help you, it doesn't matter what kind of work I do."

"Second brother is joking. We are brothers. It's my duty to take care of you, and you can just be responsible for enjoying yourself."

"What do you mean?"

"I am only forty-three this year. It is my prime year and I am still far from enjoying happiness."

"I'm telling you, I'm not kidding you. You have to arrange something for me to do."

"If I am left to eat and wait for death, I might as well go back to Fengtian and resign myself to my fate." Xu Maochen said.

"Second brother, why are you doing this?"

"Absolutely no one gossips here." Lu Fei said.

"It's not what others say, I can't stand it myself."

"Second brother is an open-minded person, so I won't hide it."

"You know the details of the second brother. You have an idea of ​​what's going on with you."

"You have helped me so much, my second brother's life belongs to you."

"Everything that happens to you, even if it means going up a mountain of swords or going down into a sea of ​​fire, if my second brother frowns, I will be struck by thunder."

"Second brother, what are you doing?"

"Do we brothers need to be like this?"

"I'm serious." Xu Maochen said.

Lu Fei thought for a while and said.

"Let's do this. I know what my second brother is capable of. If you don't mind it, how about you become a general manager for me?"

"You can help me with some ideas that I can't think of."

"Second brother, please take care of the things I can't take care of."

"From now on, we brothers will become one, and we will share blessings and hardships together!"

"It's done!"

"That's it." Xu Maochen said with a smile.
