Chapter 703 An Excited Miyamoto Genichi

Despite repeated hesitation, Miyamoto Genichi agreed to Liu Zhen's request for an appointment.

Without him, these few words of Yan Liben's authentic work were enough to make Miyamoto Xuandai tempted.

In fact, there are many loopholes here. For example, this painting has been lost for a long time. How could it suddenly surface?

For another example, who is the young man Liu Zhen wants to bring, and whose family is he a child of? Since Liu Zhen said young people, they must be about the same age as her daughter. At such an age, how could Miyamoto Genichi believe that it was a stupid young man who appeared out of nowhere?

For another example, was Yan Liben's original work originally in Japan, or was it brought by that young man from China?

If he was originally in Japan, how could he not have heard of it at all? Japan is such a big place, and although the population density is very high, it still only has a population of over 100 million. Miyamoto Genichi feels that he should know all the people who are interested in ancient calligraphy and painting, and the people who can collect these things. If there really is an authentic work by Yan Liben, and there is no news about the statue of Wang Youjun since the Song Dynasty, how could there be no news at all?

But if it was brought from China, how could cultural relics of this level be casually put in when imported by customs? I'm afraid it would have already caused a sensation.

However, all these doubts were covered up by Miyamoto Xuanyi's desire for Yan Liben's authentic work. Even though he knew it was fake, Miyamoto Xuanyi wanted to take a look.

What's more, this is a call from Liu Zhen. Although Liu Zhen is less than fifty years old, he is still quite a famous scholar in China, and he would not joke with Miyamoto Kenichi about such a thing.

After agreeing to Liu Zhen's visit with a young man, Miyamoto wanted to continue writing music and drinking tea, but he felt like there was a mouse hiding in his heart and was scurrying around. He couldn't calm down at all, and his mind was full of thoughts. The two words are Yan Liben and Wang Youjun.

Shi Lei sat in Liu Zhen's car. The driver drove silently. Liu Zhen thought for a while and said to Shi Lei: "Miyamoto can speak Chinese. Although his accent is quite serious, you just need to be more careful. The communication should be no problem."

Shi Lei nodded and said with a smile: "Actually, I know that seniors in the cultural world like Miyamoto Genichi must study a lot of Chinese history. It is impossible not to understand Chinese."

Liu Zhen also nodded and said: "Japan was born out of the Chinese language. Although the Japanese refuse to admit it, everyone actually knows it. Even the entire culture of Japan was moved over from China bit by bit. Among them, the Tang and Song Dynasties are the main ones. Of course, it is not convenient to talk about these during communication, after all, you don’t slap someone in the face.”

Shi Lei laughed, Liu Zhen was really an interesting person. Even at such an old age, he still seemed a bit angry.

The traffic conditions on the road were not very good, and the cars kept going and stopping. It took an hour to arrive at Miyamoto Genichi's residence.

Of course Shi Lei had some expectations in his heart and was even a little nervous, but Miyamoto Xuanchi was actually much more anxious and nervous than Shi Lei.

On the one hand, he hoped that Liu Zhenzhen could bring the authentic portrait of King Yan Liben's right army, but on the other hand, he did not want this painting to really be circulated in the world.

I hope it is because I can still see such a painting in my lifetime, which is a comfort to my life. The reason for not wanting it is that the other party will definitely not take action. This is definitely a national treasure-level cultural relic. If that young man comes by himself, there may be a possibility of changing hands, but if he follows Liu Zhen, Liu Zhen will never agree to him. To leave such a valuable treasure in the East.

Miyamoto Genichi was in an extremely tormented state of mind. He could not sit still at such an advanced age. The last time he was like this was probably twenty or thirty years ago.

Finally, someone came in at the door and told Bing that Dr. Liu Zhen had arrived.

Miyamoto Genichi stood up, straightened his clothes, walked outside the door, and stood in the corridor, anxiously waiting for Liu Zhen and the young man to appear.

Not long after, the figures of Liu Zhen and Shi Lei appeared in Miyamoto Xuanyi's field of vision. He bent slightly and dropped his hands in front of his knees as a welcome gift.

When Liu Zhen and Shi Lei walked up to them, Miyamoto Kenichi bowed deeply and said, "Liu Zhen, long time no see."

Liu Zhen also returned the gift and said: "Miyamoto-san, long time no see. Let me introduce to Miyamoto-san. This is a junior I know in China. His name is Shi Lei. He expressed that he wanted to meet Miyamoto-san. , a bit presumptuous, but sorry for bothering you."

Miyamoto Xuanyi immediately bowed to Shi Lei and said: "Shi Lei-san, hello. It's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me."

Shi Lei also bowed back. In any case, this is actually Chinese etiquette. However, Chinese dynasties have changed several times. The etiquette of the Tang and Song Dynasties has been replaced by the etiquette of subsequent dynasties. In this regard, Japan still retains some traditions from the Tang and Song Dynasties.

"Hello Mr. Miyamoto."

"Please come in." Miyamoto Genichi had already cast his eyes on the painting tube that Shi Lei was carrying, but at this moment he could only suppress the excitement and surge in his heart and invite people into the room first.

The place where Miyamoto Genichi lives is a typical old Japanese building, with a courtyard in the middle and houses around it. The corridor is entirely made of wooden boards. The interior of the house is about 30 centimeters higher than the corridor. The floor inside is made of straw mats.

After entering the house, the servant closed the door.

Genichi Miyamoto still adhered to the etiquette, briefly reminisced with Liu Zhen, made matcha for Shi Lei and Liu Zhen, and served them one by one.

"I heard from Mr. Liu Zhen that Shi Leisang has an authentic portrait of Wang Youjun by Yan Liben?" After the greetings, Miyamoto Xuanyi went straight to the topic. In fact, he had already been unable to hold himself back.

Shi Lei smiled slightly, picked up the painting tube from his side, slowly opened the lid of the painting tube, and poured out the painting scroll inside.

Raising his hands in the air, Shi Lei said: "Please give me Mr. Miyamoto's eyes."

Miyamoto Kenichi suppressed his excitement and took the scroll from Shi Lei. He almost couldn't wait to put it down on the table, and then slowly opened it with slightly trembling hands.

When the scroll was halfway unfolded, Miyamoto Kenichi's eyes were already widened.

He has also been immersed in this art for most of his life. At a glance, he knew that this painting had the essence of Yan Liben. Even if it was a forgery, it was of extremely high quality.

After completely opening the scroll, Miyamoto Kenichi carefully observed it bit by bit. He had already prepared various tools and used them one by one, gradually becoming convinced of the authenticity of this painting.

After putting away the tools, Miyamoto Kenichi was so excited that he almost lay on the ground and kowtowed to the painting.

Then, he held up the painting and looked at it in its entirety. After a long time, he finally reluctantly put it down.

With a long sigh, two tears appeared on Miyamoto Genichi's face. No matter what, this man may be profit-oriented or evil-minded, but his respect for these ancient works of art does come from the bottom of his heart.

"It is indeed an authentic work...it is indeed...I never thought that I would have the opportunity to see such a masterpiece in my lifetime. This is really a blessing for the cultural world and a great blessing for Sino-Japanese cultural exchanges!"

Then, he walked up to Shi Lei, bowed deeply to Shi Lei, and said, "Thank you Shi Sang for allowing me to see this painting."

Shi Lei accepted his bow with a smile, and then waited for Miyamoto Kenichi to carefully roll up the scroll and return it to him.

After putting the scroll back into the painting tube, Miyamoto Genichi asked: "Did Shi Sang come here for the true form of the five stars and twenty-eight constellations?"

Shi Lei smiled in his heart, it was time to show off.
