my wife, my wife, my wife

Chapter 3

"Old Peng."

"You came quickly." A senile old man walked towards him with a smile.

Qi Wuqi was a little embarrassed by Mr. Peng's words.

After he was discharged from the hospital, he was still thinking about the painting, thinking that after so many days, Mr. Peng must have discovered something new, so he couldn't resist his curiosity, and finally called Mr. Peng to inquire.

However, Mr. Peng refused to talk to him about the painting on the phone, meaning that he was asked to come to his place so that the two of them could talk face to face if they had anything to say.He has never been a quick-tempered person, but this time he showed eagerness, why not let Mr. Peng, who is his teacher, make fun of him?

"Come on, let's go in and talk."

It wasn't the first time Qi Wuqi came to Peng Lao's studio, so the cultural relics placed in Peng Lao's bookshelves or glass cabinets didn't make him as curious as ordinary people.

"Did Xiaojiang show you the painting that day?" Mr. Peng asked with a smile while opening the cabinet.

Qi Wuqi nodded and said: "I've seen it, and it's well preserved. But it's a pity that there are no inscriptions and seals. From the perspective of composition, brush, ink, water, and color, it can be seen that the painting The author’s skills are extraordinary. Another point is that this painting is at least 200 years old. According to the records of our cultural department, let alone 200 years ago, it has never appeared in the past hundreds of years. Like this painting, the figures are painted in a concrete way. The concrete style of painting really appeared at the end of the Qing Dynasty. Ink wash is equal to their western abstract paintings.

However, this painting unearthed from Xuanwu Lake in Nanjing broke my understanding of the development of Chinese ink painting.Judging from the paper, pen and ink used in this painting, it has indeed been thousands of years old, so I am very confused. "

Peng Lao points out that he agrees with Qi Wuqi's words.

"Old man, I have been studying calligraphy and painting for at least forty years. The experience and experience accumulated in these forty years are naturally nothing to worry about. But this... hey... let's not talk about this, unless what you said, you What else do you see on the painting?" At this time, Mr. Peng had already taken the painting out of the cabinet.

"This..." Qi Wuqi, who was talking eloquently, frowned suddenly.

"But it doesn't matter, it's just the two of us here."

Qi Wuqi thought about the purpose of coming here today, and didn't hesitate any longer.He walked to Mr. Peng's side, and after Mr. Peng unfolded the painting, he pointed to the jade pendant on the person in the painting, "Did Mr. Peng see it too?"

"What do you think?"

"I just don't understand, that's why I came to ask you for advice." Qi Wuqi didn't mince words, and spoke bluntly.

Mr. Peng froze for a moment, then shook his head, then took out the magnifying glass from his pocket without saying a word, and looked at the part with words.

Seeing that Mr. Peng didn't speak, Qi Wuxi was at a loss.

After a while, Mr. Peng put away the magnifying glass.

"Wu Qi is also my wife."

"..."

Qi Wuqi saw Mr. Peng walking towards the balcony muttering to himself.

When Mr. Peng arrived on the balcony, he found a seat and sat down. Seeing Qi Wuqi, who was following him, standing beside him and looking at him, he raised his hand and beckoned to him, "Wuqi, come and sit."

After Qi Wuqi sat down firmly, Mr. Peng looked at the sky outside and remained silent for a long time before opening his mouth leisurely. "Among the cultural relics unearthed from the ancient tomb, except for a few words in the painting, there is no longer any text that can help us explore the owner of the ancient tomb. This scene is full of weirdness, not just the words , even the other cultural relics are also weird."

"How to say?"

"After the cultural relics came back, except for this painting, which I personally rescued, all the others were sent to the Cultural Relics Salvage Hospital, so I haven't had time to seriously study them. But what is certain is that, except for the paintings and swords unearthed from the coffin, other The same totem appeared on each of the funerary objects."

Qi Wuqi was quite surprised when he heard the words, he thought for a while before he said: "Then the totem could be a popular pattern at that time? Or is it because it was produced by a merchant, so the same totem is made on all the items?"

Mr. Peng got up and went into the room and poured two glasses of water out, "After you see those cultural relics for yourself, maybe you won't say so thinly. Wu Qi, although you study calligraphy and painting, you have to know that no matter what Whether it is calligraphy, painting or other cultural relics, each cultural relic has a mouth on it, which can tell us what the national conditions or people’s conditions were like when it was born. However, the unearthed ones can be seen from the hands of famous masters at a glance. At that time There are three kinds of so-called "famous masters".

The first kind of things made by famous families are only for the imperial court and powerful famous families, and the other kind is specially made for luxury goods that only the very wealthy among the common people can buy.The third type is the [famous artist] who pursues art. The third type of famous artist takes money very lightly. Unless the other party loves art or has a close relationship, it is even more difficult to get something he made.And the things produced by these three kinds of "famous artists" represent the national conditions, one represents the people's conditions, and the other represents the art at that time. "

After digesting what Mr. Peng said in his heart, Qi Wuqi realized something. "Then what kind of famous artists made the cultural relics unearthed this time?"

"All of them. Because there is no one in the tomb, we can only infer from the builder of the tomb. It is because there are all of them, so it is difficult to deduce the identity of the owner of the tomb, but one thing is certain, that is, the builder of the tomb was not rich. That is expensive."

"Is that so..." Qi Wuxi stroked his chin and thought for a while, then said: "What did those cultural relics [speak] about? What were the conditions of the people and the country at that time?"

Peng Lao pondered for a while before uttering a word, "Chaos."

Hearing this, Qi Wuqi could not help but sit up straight. "I don't have much research on this aspect. But after hearing what you said, I'm really interested. Mr. Peng, tell me, I'll learn."

Mr. Peng shook his head with a smile, "Are you interested now? When you first came to the cultural relics department, I asked you to follow me to learn more, but you are so stubborn that you only specialize in one subject."

His words made Qi Wuxi so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole to bury himself.Speaking of Qi Wuqi, he only looks at his appearance, he is a famous beauty in their cultural relics department, so beauty is just beautiful, people who don't know him always think that this person has a gentle personality, but this is not the case.

Qi Wuqi is a good talker, but it depends on what it is.Anyone who knows him well knows that ten cows can't hold him back when this man is stubborn. When Mr. Peng accepted him as his apprentice, he suffered a lot.

Mr. Peng is proficient in everything. Seeing that Qi Wuqi is a man who can be created, he first cultivated him to be his successor. As a result, this kid just got stuck. He only followed Mr. Peng's research on calligraphy and painting, and nothing else I don't want to touch it either.

So now Mr. Peng heard Qi Wuqi say that he wants to learn something else, if he doesn't bother him now, when will he?

"Old Peng." Qi Wuxi was a little speechless.

"Okay, okay, look at you, you look shy, like a little girl."

"..."

"Let's continue talking about totems. The totems seen on the cultural relics unearthed this time, at least in the historical records I have read, have never been seen before. Totems have a wide range of meanings, so every item unearthed this time It is difficult to give a correct explanation for the totems that appear on the cultural relics..."

After coming out from Mr. Peng, the smile on Qi Wuqi's face dissipated instantly.

Although it can't be said that coming here today is fruitless, what he really wants to know in his heart is still blank.

Mr. Peng seems to deliberately avoid talking about that painting?Because when he talked with Mr. Peng, he tried many times to bring the topic to the painting, but Mr. Peng talked about him as if he didn't hear it.

Sighing helplessly, he glanced sideways at the gate of the research institute where Mr. Peng was, before he got into his car, started the car and left.

Since Mr. Peng didn't want to tell him, how could he understand the characters in the painting and the words on the painting?

Maybe we can wait for news?

Ever since he saw that painting, he felt more and more uneasy.How can there be such a coincidence in the world?Not only does the person in the painting look so similar to him, even the characters in the painting also contain the word [Wuqi] of Qi Wuqi.

There are many unexplainable things in this world, it's not that Qi Wuqi is superstitious, it's because this matter makes him too uneasy.

So wait for news?It's okay for a day or two, but seeing Mr. Peng's reaction... a day or two?I'm afraid there will be no news in ten days and half a month.So forget it, go back and look up the information first, see if you can find out a clue, if you can't find out, then he...
