Chapter 698 Liu Zhen Tells the Truth

Shi Lei was stunned when he heard this.

Immediately, Shi Lei cursed the black card and the scepter in his heart.

Your uncle! It is not false to say that the Japanese man has nothing to do with Miyamoto Genichi. But what should we do if Liu Jiani has a relationship with Miyamoto Genichi?

Shi Lei began to suspect again that Liu Jiani's accidental fall off the cliff had something to do with the black card.

But it was just suspicion. After all, Shi Lei still believed in the scepter. It was indeed not possible to design such a process and affect future events to such an extent.

Unless, the black card can predict the future. And even predicting the future is not enough, you also need to be able to change the future. It would be terrible if it could really be done like this.

Based on the impact of black cards on Shi Lei's life in the past, Shi Lei would rather believe that black cards can only increase the probability of something happening, rather than being able to directly arrange something in the future.

"It turns out that Mr. Shi's official business is in Osaka. That's a coincidence. Zhuo Jing and I are going to Osaka tomorrow. If Mr. Shi is not busy with official business, we can get together again in Osaka."

Shi Lei raised his head, looked at Liu Qian, and thought, how should he talk to Liu Qian? I can't tell him directly that I want to replace the five-star and twenty-eight constellations in the Osaka Municipal Museum of Art, right?

Immediately, Shi Lei thought of an idea.

He asked: "What a coincidence. Mr. Liu actually has exchange activities with the Osaka Municipal Museum of Art. Mr. Liu, I have a heartfelt request."

Liu Qian adjusted his glasses, thought for a moment, and said, "Mr. Shi, do you want to take a look at the five-star and twenty-eight constellations true shape map?"

Shi Lei clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Exactly. I originally went to Osaka for business, and I thought that if I was lucky and happened to encounter a special exhibition, I would be able to see the true appearance of the Five Stars and Twenty-eight Constellations. After all, , that picture is not on display at any time.”

"I also need to discuss this with the other party. After all, it has nothing to do with our trip."

Liu Jiani suddenly became unhappy. She said coquettishly: "Dad! How could you do this! Mr. Shi saved your daughter's life, and this is how you repay him? Didn't he just want to see a painting? And It’s still a Tang Dynasty imitation, not authentic at all. What’s so great about this is that it’s not missing a piece.”

Liu Zhen hurriedly said: "That's all your father said. We made the request in the name of communication, and the other party will always consider it carefully. However, Mr. Shi may need to go in as an entourage at that time, so we will try our best to tell the other party. "

"What does "try your best" mean? It's originally a cultural exchange. Let's see what they can do with one painting?" Liu Jiani was very unhappy.

Liu Qian shook her head helplessly, but the eyes she looked at Liu Jiani were full of doting. It was obvious that this couple doted on their daughter too much.

After thinking about it, Liu Qian said: "Otherwise, I will ask Mr. Shi to accompany me as my nephew. I have some friendship with Miyamoto Kenichi, the old director of the Osaka Municipal Museum of Art. We are in the history of Tang Dynasty." There is a lot of common understanding in this area, and he has introduced me as a long-lasting friend. When the time comes, I will talk to him in a private capacity, and Mr. Miyamoto will not refute my face."

Shi Lei stroked his palm and said, "That's great."

"Mr. Shi likes calligraphy and painting?"

"After a little research, I have long heard that Zhang Sengyao is the originator of the short-faced and beautiful Shuti style. Although the five-star and twenty-eight constellations true shape diagram is a copy, it has the essence of the Zhang family. It seems that this time the Japanese The trip was worth it after all, and I can finally see it all.”

Liu Qian smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "It's nothing more than imitating a cat and imitating a tiger. I personally think that Liang Lingzhan's imitation only has its form, but not its essence. Moreover, Liang Lingzhan is famous for imitation, but never his essence. I have to say Liang Lingzhan. What's so outstanding about this copy? I personally think it's more like Wu Daozi than Zhang Sengyao. The Zhang family is completely broken and will never be seen. Mr. Shi probably didn't see the painting. itself, otherwise, the same emotion would arise. Liang Lingzhan imitated Wu Daozi too much, and the brushstrokes are completely Wu Daozi's style. Although they are both in sparse style, they are very different."

Liu Zhen touched her husband gently, probably because he thought he said a bit too much. After all, Shi Lei came here in pleasure and was happy to see this painting, but here he was pouring cold water on it.

Liu Qian also realized this, and smiled again and said: "I'm too talkative. It's just my habit. Don't take it off Mr. Shi. Everyone is in his own eyes. Mr. Shi can see for himself when the time comes."

Shi Lei also smiled and said: "I have seen the photos, but the details are not realistic, so I dare not make any remarks. What Mr. Liu said is quite reasonable. I just don't know what Mr. Miyamoto Kenichi thinks. .”

"I feel ashamed to say that most of these words came from Mr. Miyamoto. After all, he has been taking care of this painting for decades, and his research on this painting is much deeper than mine."

Shi Lei's heart moved slightly. If this was really the case, then the possibility of changing the painting would be much higher.

"So Mr. Miyamoto is not very satisfied with this collection?"

"I can't say I'm dissatisfied, I just feel that the name is in vain. Especially in Japan, this painting is regarded as a national treasure. In Mr. Miyamoto's view, there is no need to do so. After all, Liang Lingzhan has too many other things, and the character is not enough. But, after all, copying the Zhang family model is a bit of a waste of time."

Shi Lei understood, and a smile slowly appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Mr. Shi, don't mind. My wife values ​​research too much, while Miyamoto values ​​​​too much. In my opinion, this picture is an outstanding representative of sparse style after all. Whether it is more like Zhang Sengyao , it is still more like Wu Daozi, and it is always a rare masterpiece. It is a pity that only the five stars and twelve constellations remain, which is not complete after all. If it were complete, more clues should be able to be seen. "

Liu Zhen was afraid that Shi Lei would be unhappy, so he explained to Liu Qian again.

Shi Lei noticed Liu Zhen's evaluation of Miyamoto Genichi. This evaluation seemed not high, and he seemed to be looking down on Miyamoto Shigeri.

After thinking for a while, Shi Lei asked: "Mr. Miyamoto attaches great importance to the value of the collection?"

"He is more accustomed to comparing the transaction prices of current art works." Liu Qian said, and glared at Liu Zhen, "But this is normal. When collecting things, I always hope to have a higher valuation."

Liu Zhen rolled his eyes and said, "What are you covering up for him? You are devoted to learning, studying this and that, but Miyamoto is just going for the price of the collection. If you hadn't mistakenly thought that this painting The painting was an original by Zhang Sengyao, so how could he have paid so much for it? Later, after research, I discovered that this painting was not the original after all."

Liu Qian frowned and said, "Why are you saying this in front of Mr. Shi?"

Shi Lei smiled and asked with great interest: "Why did Ms. Liu say that? Doesn't the title of this painting clearly say that it was painted by Liang Lingzhan of the Tang Dynasty?"

Liu Zhen shook his head and said: "At first, everyone thought this was Zhang Sengyao's original work. As for Liang Lingzhan's official script at the beginning of the volume, everyone thought it was framed by Liang Lingzhan after he got this masterpiece. It is like a famous artist's work. The appreciation seal is normal, but Liang Lingzhan changed the appreciation seal to Baotou. After all, the legendary original painting was signed by Zhang Sengyao. It’s a pity that the lower volume has been lost, and the signature cannot be seen.”
