Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Lin Ran also found it funny when he saw other people's attitudes.

Why did this tasting become an auction?

Zhou Xuelin's face was filled with pride. Although he seemed to be average on the surface, he was actually very satisfied with everyone's performance.

As the so-called layman watches the fun, the expert watches the doorway.

When he saw Lin Ran's expression, he knew that he had recognized the calligraphy and painting.

In fact, the appraisal results didn't matter, he just needed to let Lin Ran know that he was not on the same level as him.

"Disciple, since Lin Xiaoyou gave you the go-ahead last round, let him go first this time."

Zhou Xuelin cleverly avoided the previous tea fight.

It was also the first time for Jin Xi to see a teacher produce such a work, and he was filled with admiration.

But he also understood what Zhou Xuelin meant and nodded.

In fact, Zhou Xuelin was also helping him secretly. Unlike the previous competition, which was first come first served, this time it was an appraisal. In fact, being the one who appraised later had an advantage. After all, he could supplement the other party's description.

Embellishment is one of the tricks literati are best at.

How could Lin Ran not know what they were planning, but seeing Tang Dai's works, he felt there was no problem at all.

After all, he once showed this calligraphy and painting to tourists in the National Palace Museum, but it was just a different audience.

"Okay, thank you very much." Lin Ran smiled.

Came to the calligraphy and painting.

Even though it was his opponent's collection, Lin Ran was full of praise for this painting.

Tang Dai was one of the few Manchu painters in the Qing Dynasty and a veteran court painter who had experienced the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties.

During the Qing Dynasty, culture was emphasized over military affairs.

There was a rule at that time that the children of the Eight Banners either joined the army or became officials.

So few people study calligraphy and painting.

Therefore, the support for palace painters at that time was large, but the number of flag painters was very small.

Tang Dai is one of the most famous.

Lin Ran came to the painting and said with a smile: "It is really rare for Mr. Zhou to get Tang Dai's calligraphy. I admire you."

Zhou Xuelin smiled contemptuously: "Please taste it carefully."

"This painting and calligraphy is 104 centimeters long and 61 centimeters wide. It should have been painted around the 12th year of Yongzheng's reign, when Tang Dai was already 62 years old."

"On the picture, there are 'Yangxin Palace Appraisal Treasure', 'Qianlong Imperial Treasure' and other appraisal seals, a total of ten."

"It can be seen that this scroll should have been collected by the Qing court, which is enough to show how precious this scroll is."

I originally thought that Lin Ran knew about Tang Dai at most, but I didn't expect that he could even guess the year of painting.

This year, he and researchers from the local museum jointly reviewed the literature and found out something, but it has not yet been announced to the public.

He couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Could it be that Lin Ran really had such a keen eye?

Lin Ran didn't care about his thoughts and continued.

On the scroll, there are green peaks and mountains, and clouds lock the middle of the mountain.

There is also a waterfall flying down between the two mountains behind.

However, the river below the mountain seemed extremely calm.

The river bank is paved with pebbles and lush with small trees.

Among them, there are several thatched cottages and a thatched pavilion, and the whole picture is staggered.

You can also see two people sitting opposite each other in the hut, seemingly chatting.

On the bridge next to it, a child, who must have been the companion of a literati in the Qing Dynasty, was walking slowly towards the pavilion with a pair of guqin in his arms.

"Tang Dai is not the most famous among the court painters, but his grasp of color and boldness are the most heroic among the court painters," Lin Ran said.

"It is this bold color scheme that makes the composition of the picture dense and dense, and at the same time makes the picture more layered."

"Especially the bold use of green and green to render the mountain colors, vividly expressing the green color of the mountains in summer."

Lin Ran smiled and said: "As expected of the royal painter of the palace, it is really rare for Mr. Zhou to obtain such cultural relics."

Everyone present was stunned.

This level of appreciation and eloquence are already far ahead of the vast majority of people.

Many people can only see that this painting is special, but find it difficult to understand its true meaning.

It’s no wonder that when they first see calligraphy and painting, they can feel that the pen is used accurately and the technique is skillful. It turns out there is another reason for this.

Since it is collected by the palace, according to the current ownership rights, it should belong to the Palace Museum.

If Zhou Xuelin could get this calligraphy and painting, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to keep it in his hands for too long.

In fact, it doesn’t matter if you take it out and show it off.

But today, Tang Lanxuan from the Palace Museum is here. Isn't he just looking for trouble for himself by taking out this calligraphy and painting?

For a moment, he felt a little cold in his background.

Lin Ran just downplayed the appraisal, but in fact he was leading himself into a trap.

"Okay! Brother Lin really has a vision!" Chang Zheng was the first to react. As a referee, he already knew Lin Ran's level.

The other people also clapped softly. To see such a wonderful tasting, today was indeed not in vain.

Immediately afterwards, Chang Zheng turned his attention to Jinxi.

"Master Jin, do you have anything to add?"

Jin Xi was dumbfounded just now. He thought to himself that even his teacher couldn't explain it in such detail.

Now some people are riding a tiger and are stuck, so they can only bite the bullet and step forward to explain.

However, the content is basically what Lin Ran just described, except for adding the price at the end.

Calligraphy and painting are usually calculated based on size. According to his estimate, the price of this calligraphy and painting should be around 30.

Everyone agrees with the price estimate.

But Lin Ran had already stolen all the limelight, so his tasting seemed dull.

In the end, he could only wave his hands boredly and stand back beside his teacher.

The result of this round is self-evident. Lin Ran naturally won again.

When Chang Zheng announced the results, the audience burst into applause again.

Tang Lanxuan also looked at Zhou Xuelin with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, I am very interested in this calligraphy and painting of yours. Can you let me take a closer look?"

“Let’s wait until the tasting is over,” Zhou Xuelin said.

In his heart, he was cursing Tang Lanxuan for being such an old fox. If he saw the bell mark on it clearly, the owner of this calligraphy and painting would probably become a human being.

He was so blinded by hatred that he forgot that the director of the National Palace Museum was here.

I am afraid that my illegal operation will bring a lot of trouble to my old friend.

"Okay, let's talk slowly after the tasting session is over." Tang Lanxuan smiled and said to Zhou Xuelin with his hands in hand.

Zhou Xuelin ignored the objections of others and directly rolled up the calligraphy and painting and put it back in his box.

So Chang Zheng said beside him: "Don't be so stingy, take it out and let everyone appreciate it."

"The game isn't over yet!" Zhou Xuelin said.
