Li Tianming took the bus back to his home in Binzhou City.
After resting for a while, Li Tianming went out to find a restaurant and casually had lunch.
Li Tianming hailed a taxi and arrived at the Jade Dragon Museum in just over 20 minutes.
When Li Tianming walked in, he realized that Xiao Wu was not at the front desk.
Looking around, he didn't find Xiao Wu, but he saw an old man casually looking at the museum's exhibit.
When Li Tianming walked over, the old man was focused on a painting.
The painting was very simple. There were a few words written on it in a very special font: "Su Shi respectfully offers his advice."
The short nine words gave off a feeling of vigor and vigor.
However, upon closer inspection, he felt that the artist's brush strokes were meticulous and soft. He was a meticulous person.
Li Tianming was surprised. He had been to the Jade Dragon Museum twice before, but he had never seen this painting. It seemed that it was a " new product " from Shen Yulong.
Li Tianming stood side by side with the old man and looked at it again and again.
The old man didn't seem to notice Li Tianming's existence. He mumbled something, but it was impossible to hear what he was saying.
Li Tianming couldn't help but mutter,"Su Shi's merit card, looking at it now, it really lives up to its reputation."”
When the old man heard Li Tianming's words, he turned around and said,""Little brother, you know calligraphy and painting too?"
Li Tianming smiled in embarrassment and replied,""I only know a little."
As Li Tianming spoke, he quickly sized up the old man in front of him.
The old man was about 70 years old. He had white hair and a kind and kind face. However, there was an indescribable majesty about him.
Li Tianming was certain that although this old man was dressed in ordinary clothes, he must have been someone who had been in a high position for a long time. Otherwise, he would not have such an aura.
The old man seemed to be sizing up Li Tianming."Then tell me, what is the origin of this calligraphy?”
Li Tianming pondered for a moment." This Gongfu Calligraphy is a handwritten letter that Su Shi and Su Dongpo gave to their friend Guo Gongfu when they sent him off. This can only be considered a cover. There should be a handwritten letter accompanying it…Eh?”
When the old man heard Li Tianming's tone, he asked,""What's wrong?"
Because the painting was surrounded by a guardrail, Li Tianming was a distance away from the old man.
Li Tianming leaned forward as much as he could and looked left and right, up and down. Finally, he sighed."I hope Uncle Long didn't spend too much money on this painting. This calligraphy…isn't Su Dongpo's authentic work.”
"Oh? Why do you say that?" The old man was obviously surprised by Li Tianming's words, but his eyes revealed some excitement.
Li Tianming felt that this old man was definitely not simple, so he deliberately showed off.
"It's actually not difficult to appraise a painting. First, you need to look at the 'brush strokes.' Frankly speaking, there's nothing wrong with this painting in this aspect. Even if it wasn't by Su Shi, the person who copied it was definitely a calligraphy master.”
The old man nodded in agreement with Li Tianming's point of view.。
" Secondly, look at the 'color' used. In ancient times, rich scholars liked to use mineral ink. The older it is, the more beautiful it will be. It won't fade. If you look at this painting like this, there's no problem.”
"Then what's the problem?" The old man couldn't help but ask.
" The problem lies in the last item,'using ink'. If you have good eyes, you can observe it. The handwriting on it looks fine, but if you look carefully, you will find that…"
"There's something wrong with the weight of each word. Look at the 'Su' character, the top half of the ink is a little light, and the bottom half is a little heavier.”
"It's as if these words weren't written down in one stroke.”Li Tianming shook his head and continued," For a great calligrapher like Su Dongpo, writing every day is no different from drinking water. It's impossible for such a situation to happen. The only explanation is that later generations copied Su Dongpo's handwriting while looking at his authentic works.”
"Fortunately, this painting isn't a counterfeit made by modern people. It's a copy, so it still has some value.”Li Tianming concluded.
The old man laughed after hearing this. Not bad! Cough cough!"
The old man seemed to have some health problems and coughed a few times.
"Grandpa…"
Li Tianming was shocked. He turned his head and saw a beautiful woman standing not far behind him.
This beauty was none other than Tang Xiaoyu, whom he had met two days ago.
In fact, Tang Xiaoyu had already walked over and did not interrupt Tianming's conversation with her grandfather.
Tang Xiaoyu walked over to support her grandfather and grumbled,""Grandpa, you've just recovered from your illness. Don't be so agitated.”
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was so happy that I forgot to control my emotions.”The old man patted Tang Xiaoyu's hand before pointing at Li Tianming." This little brother is really not bad! So young, yet so knowledgeable, interesting!”
Tang Xiaoyu glanced at him silently.
