Search for "Painting Han"

By the count, this part of town hasn't been here for thirty years. The first prison in front of the "no wind three feet of earth, rain a street mud" "since the new road" has been paved with asphalt, "Liyuan Pantheon" where "Songbai Nunnery" built a building, Yang Xiaolou cemetery near the run of a school. To the south are "Parrot's House" and "Incense Mound". Gan Ziqian used to sketch there when he was young. He can still remember the first words on the tombstone: "Boundless sorrow, havoc; After a short song, the moon is short..." Now, he looked at the Tao Ran Ting lake after the vicissitudes of life, really a little "boundless sorrow". Where can I find "Shier Han"? Painting Er Han is a man in need of the Four Modernizations and has been squeezed out of the cultural relics industry for decades. He has wax head is not high, do not bring him back, after death do not close your eyes.

Gan Ziqian and painting Han, from more than 30 years ago, a practical joke started. Gan Ziqian painted meticulous figures in his youth and sometimes copied one or two ancient paintings. Once he saw a copy of an ancient painting made by Master Zhang, a famous painter. On a spur of the moment, he used a half piece of ancient ink on a piece of Song Dynasty paper that he had saved and made a copy of a selected painting with the title (Cold Food Picture). It was drawn for fun, but a tabloid reporter saw it. His name was Na Wu, and he was the least advanced of the eight Banners. Mountings, fashioned Feng paper, used as a fake, stamped with "Qianlong's Paper," and so on, he showed it to Gan, saying: "In two days, you're as close as Master Zhang. At least not under the painting!

Painting Han is a running combination of painting and calligraphy trading, good at identification and appreciation, but also good at fraud.

Gan Ziqian looked at his work dressed up in such a mottled antique style, very proud, smiled and said: "Don't be so blind, I am not so tall?"

"To flatter me is to scold me." Indignant, the five said, "I don't believe this is an experiment."

"How?"

Han saw through it, but it was a joke. If you want to mask the painting, it means that Gan Ziqian has arrived home. That is not to say, when the price share me half, and wait for me to eat "cheap Fang". With that, the five cloth wrapped the painting away with a blue wrapping cloth.

To say that five from the beginning to want to defraud, wronged him. He had a chance to win last time. When he's ready to take it to the pawnshop. Then I began to cheat a sum of money. If you want to bluff people, you have to pretend to be a dragon like a dragon and a dog like a dog. I heard that when the line of people to see clothes after seeing goods, the five now for a set of clothes: spring silk gown, pipa front vest, pointed black satin shoes, white silk socks. Holding a two-inch long Qiu Angle cigarette holder in his hand. Put three batteries in, light them, and hold them there. To the counter handed the package, said: "when a full price a few!" He turned his head to the corner and stood. At first glance, he looked like a son of the Eight Banners family, who had stolen the family's treasures to pawn. And pawn and don't redeem. At the beginning of the house for Bo Yi silver is also this way, very sent a few when the rich).

Is it the five's disguise? Is asking for the full price scared painting Er Han? Was it Han's carelessness? There is no way to trace it. In short, after several years of bargaining, the burden to take off, finally painting Han learn Shanxi accent sang up: "Write! A broken picture, eaten by worms and bitten by rats, faded and moldy, should be worth six hundred dollars..." At that time, the deck of a military ship was two dollars and forty cents a bag, and six hundred dollars was a number. When the five men came back and told him what had happened, Gan Ziqian first laughed with joy, then laughed and thought about it carefully, then became afraid. Once this matter spread, his character is in disgrace, also offended the painting Han. He and Bi 'er Han were not close friends, but they were friends. Both of them enjoyed listening to Beijing Opera; Listen to old students in Beijing Opera; Old age is the most prosperous Shiyuan. Sheng Shi Yuan long account for Sanqing, they meet almost every day in Sanqing. Both of them love to shout aloud, and shout out in different styles. As time goes by, even the performers have developed a conditioned reflex. If they do not hear the two of them shout out at the end of a play, the next play will not be riveted! One night, Sheng Shiyuan sang "Lost", painting Han did not arrive. Kong Ming sat down for a while, and after he had finished his speech, he heard only one shout, instead of two. Sheng Shiyuan sang more and more slack, and then even the mouth is hanging wrong, attracted the good. Painting Han heard this, special treat for Sheng Shiyuan shame, two people worship the brother.

The five saw Gan Ziqian's face darkening and advised him, "Do you have any regrets? Painting Han himself on fake painting started, this is called the present world newspaper. If you have a bad reputation, you'll quit. This time, if we don't, who knows? And this time it's about trying out your craft, not about making money. But you are not a fool to turn away from the money. Do you want to pay for the paper?"

"I can't afford to buy it!"

"I can't redeem it. It's mine!"

Gan Ziqian had no other choice but to accept the views of the five. He kept his promise and gave the five hundred dollars. But ask him to eat duck, the five did not let Gan Ziqian lose money. The five said: "This pawn ticket I got the east single ride river building, to the Japanese open a small bet shop, can also be a small Japanese three hundred and two hundred, duck money I wait."

Gan Ziqian said: "You are really cunning!"

The other five said, "Don't you agree? Stealing Japanese money is also patriotic!"

Not long after this, Gan Ziqian went to the shop to sell his paintings and collect money. He heard comments that Han had been playing with the eagle all his life, which made the eagle start his eyes. A few days later, he received an invitation. On August 16, Han Zuoshou invited Gan Ziqian to a banquet.

Painting Han rented an abandoned garden of Wang Gong's house by Houhai, in the water "listen to He Xuan" arrangement Shoutang. A corrugated iron pergola in front of the house was spread out with a dozen tables of MATS. Gan Ziqian thought that met this matter, the painting Han complexion to take a little tired, who knows a few days did not see, he was more refreshing. After three rounds of wine, Painting Er Han covered his face with wine, bowed and said:

"Today is my brother's birthday, and I dare not disturb you. I have something to tell you, brother. I have stumbled!"

"What went wrong?" asked the crowd.

"I don't have to tell you that I took a fake picture. When I was down, I also made a fake, and now I still fall on the false word. I can't complain, but I guess there are plenty of people out there. In order not to let you suffer this loss again, I have brought the painting, please have a look at it. Take this lesson from me and don't fall like this again. Come on, hang up the picture!"

With a shout, two apprentices, one holding the picture, the other holding a bamboo pole with an iron lever on its head, lifted the picture and hung it on a brass hook for hanging a lantern under an iron beam. The crowd gathered under the painting, issued a tut, said: "fake can be so real, also count open eyes." Painting Er Han said: "We don't call it scared, or first find fault, good from here to learn a point of eye." He glanced at Gan Ziqian and said with a smile, "Zi Qian's eyesight is extraordinary. You should pick out the flaws first, so that everyone can learn from them!"

Gan Zi Qian's face was already red, fortunately, there was wine covered, did not draw attention to. He walked over to his painting, looked at the bottom left corner, and found a faint thumbprint that confirmed it was his work. I looked at the whole picture again, and even I admired myself. Really well drawn, to be honest, I can't tell where the flaw is; If he knew where it was, he would have filled it in. Acknowledging that the brushwork was not as good as the real thing after all, he said: "It's still soft and tacky; The paper is Song paper and the ink is Song ink. No wonder even Mr. Han has been fooled!" Painting Er Han said with a hearty smile: "I am the big head this time, not because of his high means, it is too confident, too rash. My advice to you today is not to be too bold, forget the word caution. The painting looks very realistic, but its flaws are quite obvious upon close examination. For example, the painting is titled "Cold Food Map", which is of course the Qingming Festival. Zhang Zeduan had lived in Bianliang for a long time, so the Qingming Festival in Zhongzhou should wear a pinch-coat climate. But look at this child, he even wears a hood that covers his ears! Zhang Zeduan can make this joke! If you look closely, this kid looks like he's seen it before. Where is it? On "Snow Map"! "Ruixue Map" painted the scene of the end of the year, naturally wear a hood. So just looking at the child, it's a selective drawing. Looking at the background alone, it is also painted by Zhang. These two put together, but not Zhang Zeduan painting! Look at this woman: Qingming tomb, young widow naturally is crying husband! Fu word in the rhyme of Zhongzhou is closed accent, this woman is open mouth! This mouth shape can only make a sound! Can a woman in the Song Dynasty call like Zhang Fei in The Three Kingdoms? We all know "Censor Head thorn soup"! Even Tang Qin know Zhang Zeduan will not commit such a mistake, so this is not Zhang Zeduan painting......"

Everyone was amazed. Gan Ziqian heart also secretly admire, he to painting a cup of wine to Han, to ask him for advice: "I also heard how many times. Lei Xifu, Ma Lianliang, Kirin children have listened, how do not know Tang Qin allusions to the painting?" Painting Er Han said, "Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, you come to the pawnshop and I will tell you in detail. Today is not the right time. Shengshiyuan will come to wish me a birthday.

Then painting Han poured a cup of wine on the painting, lit a fire, and set the painting on fire. The picture clanged and burned in a column of fire. The painting laughed and said, "Burn it, so that it will not harm people in the world! Let's have another toast and go to the play!"

When the painting was burned, Gan Ziqian felt calm and sat down to listen to the play. Sheng Shiyuan is a friend to come out of class, especially hard work. Painting Han said bosom friend, shout good. Gan Ziqian could not help Shouting good back. After singing a play, painting Han to the backstage road hard, Sheng Shiyuan said: "Always accompany you on a shout good this, also some days did not go to the restaurant. Who is he? Can't you come and meet him?" Painting Han from the false painting, heart putty taste, some days did not go to Sanqing, do not know Gan Ziqian did not go. Sheng Shiyuan mentioned, his heart clattered. He knew that the man who had faked the painting must be in his trade, so he cast his net today, but did not think about Gan Ziqian. A listen to this, quickly on the front desk to find Gan Ziqian, apprentice said Mr. Gan has just been found.

At this time, Gan Ziqian was being pulled out of the side gate of the garden by the five. Gan Ziqian said with a slight displeasure, "Lord Five, how can you come here to show your spirit?" The other five said, "I have something urgent to discuss with you. I'll take that pawn ticket and the Japanese will take it. Do you think it's risky? If the Japanese earn him a fortune, natural pleasure; If he could have recognized it, the Japanese would have sent us to the Red Hat Yamen to be watered down..."

Gan Ziqian said with a little disgust, "Don't take the long river to Shu! I tell you, Painting Han has already cremated our masterpiece to heaven." Then he explained in detail what had just happened. At first the five were stunned and then clapped their thighs.

"This time it's time for Han to lose his family! No wonder I went to Lian Kuoru to see him. He said I wanted to have luck with my nose!"

Gan Ziqian said, "What iniquity do you want to commit? Just a few hundred will do. Don't kill them all. Besides, we are all friends."

"Friends? There are no fathers and sons in business! See wealth does not hair is weak head. Don't bother, wait for it, I ask you to eat Zhengyang Tower river crabs!"

After the five left, Gan Ziqian thought about it more and more uneasy. He felt that according to his character, painting Han was much higher than the five. Don't say it has something to do with yourself, even if it has nothing to do with watching the five pit him again. He decided to go to the pawnshop tomorrow morning to visit painting son Han, play chance and painting son Han talk, don't let the five things make a big deal.

When he heard that he was coming, he picked Gao Ying up and took him to his own room behind the clerk's office. After the apprentice offered tea, painting Er Han picked up his hookah and sucked a bag of it. Then he began his story: "I went to Sanqing a few days ago, but I never saw you?" Before Gan Ziqian could say anything, the clerk came running in with a look of panic on his face and said in a hushed voice, "Manager, something has happened up front."

Painting Han leisurely asked: "What is it, fussing?"

"The ransom has been redeemed."

"Pawnshop? No ransom?"

"Not for anything else, but for..." The clerk glanced at Gan Ziqian, moved closer to Han and lowered his voice. Painting Er Han said loudly, "You can speak freely. Mr. Gan is not a stranger." Then the clerk resumed and exclaimed, "Someone has come to redeem the picture."

'Which picture?

"It is the Picture of Cold Food that was burnt yesterday!"

Gan Ziqian felt someone hit the bell on his head, and his whole body was numb. I didn't expect the poor five to go mad and come up with this plan.

Painting Er Han said, "You tell him that the painting is a fake. He can cheat him out of hundreds of dollars. Still not satisfied, go to the official face with him to reason."

"You are very wise, manager. Can a seller reply like that? If someone is holding a pawn ticket, it may be a piece of papyrus. If they want to redeem it, they must give it to them! Can not give this paper to double the value of compensation, so people also may not recognize. Why should we speak before an official?"

A few words asked the picture Korean speechless. Now the noise outside grew louder. Only listen to the five Lord thin voice like singing Qingyi challenge like shout: "What, want to depend on my family heir-heir-ah? And that my painting is a fake? Good, it is false, my fake is Chen Laolian imitation, more expensive than the real thing, nothing to pay for silver!"

Painting Er Han stood up and said, "It's ridiculous. I'll go and have a look, Ziqian. I'm asking for leave."

Gan Ziqian heard the five ye shouted, first angry, then embarrassed. The five will be a shock to him. He ignored the etiquette, hard to follow the picture to the front cabinet.

The pawnshop counter was, as usual, more than a foot above the customer's head. Black and red sticks hung on the wall facing him (a custom of Qing Dynasty officials and businessmen, which meant that half was business and half was yamen). At this time, four or five people, including the clerk and his assistants, gathered around the painting and looked down at the counter. Only heard the five whisper: "There is a painting to take the painting, there is no painting, let's find a place to talk about..."

Gan Ziqian walked to the painting behind Han, across the counter looked down, saw the five behind the standing of a short black fat man, gray cloth pants and jacket, cuff cover stop, thirteen capo's loop open, showing black edge of the white cloth sweat, red belly, at a glance recognized is the outside five area of the black beam. Look at this situation, the five have been determined to strangle Han's big neck. Gan Ziqian winked at the five and said, "Who am I? Five men! Why, we're all friends, why bother..."

"Master Kane, don't interfere in our business talk. I pawned an ancestral mountain. When I came to redeem it today, they told me it was a fake, and then they asked me to renew it. Do you think it would not bother me?"

Gan Ziqian was trying to find a suitable word to persuade the five to stop. Painting Er Han pushed forward, put his head out of the counter, and rushed down, saying, "Are you in a hurry? I'm more anxious than you are! I reckoned you should have come as soon as I opened the door. Why should you come so late? Is it not ransom? Where's the money?"

"Are you afraid I have no money?" The five threw from below a small package wrapped in a white handkerchief, full of multi-coloured couplets. Painting Han called the boy to count, the boy counted, together with interest exactly eight
