Through his special ability, Wang Guan can control every square inch of space inside the snuff bottle.

Through the small holes, Wang Guan discovered that there was a small area on the inner wall of the anti-carving divination operator Yongmei that had been covered up and painted with powder-like paint.

This discovery made Wang Guan feel very strange.

Unfortunately, the holes are too small, and it is impossible to reach in and wipe the paint clean.

After thinking for a while, Wang Guan opened the luggage bag in the back seat of the car, took out a pack of cotton swabs, took out a slender and long one, gently probed the inside of the snuff bottle, and rubbed it carefully.

Because the inner wall of the snuff bottle has been evenly frosted with iron sand balls and diamond steel sand, the wall surface is very rough. Therefore, not only the characters depicting plum blossoms and plum blossom poems are firmly attached to the inner wall, but the bit of powder is also adhered well.

It was very stable. Wang Guan wiped it back and forth with a small cotton swab for several times, but only a thin layer was wiped off.

Mainly, Wang Guan did not dare to use too much force, lest he wipe away the things hidden under the powder. However, even though he only brushed away the powder a little, he could still see a few blurry words when looking outside.

.

Several words are placed below the inscription of the poem "Bu Suanzi Yong Mei", followed by "Winter Day of Xinhai", plus an oval white seal the size of a square bean, forming a complete inscription.

Seeing this situation, Wang Guan suddenly realized and said to himself: "No wonder, I always felt that something was missing after the payment was made in the winter of 1911. It turns out that the name of the producer was missing."

"Wang Guan, what are you muttering about?"

At this time, Yu Feibai looked back, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "I didn't get a good rest last night. I'm a little tired now. Come and drive for me for a while."

Last night, he focused on looking at the water-dotted peach blossom cups and didn't go to bed until about two o'clock in the morning. This morning, he was woken up by Wang Guan at about seven o'clock. After driving for more than an hour, of course he was a little tired.

"In the winter of 1911, Ma Shaoxuan wrote..."

However, Wang Guan turned a deaf ear and stared at the signature in the snuff bottle, vaguely feeling that he had heard this name somewhere.

"Click!"

Suddenly, Yu Feibai stepped on the brakes and the off-road vehicle stopped. At this time, his eyes were bright and he no longer looked tired. Instead, he asked a little eagerly: "Wang Guan, what did you just say?"

Since he didn't say hello and braked suddenly, Wang Guan's body swayed for a while and he finally came to his senses.

"Fei Bai. Pay attention to driving safely, otherwise what should I do if there is an accident?" Wang Guan complained. When he saw that the snuff bottle with the inner painting was still securely in his hand, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was wearing a seat belt, so nothing happened.

.

"Excuse me."

Yu Feibai said calmly: "Mainly because I was a little excited when I heard you mention Ma Shaoxuan."

"Who is Ma Shaoxuan? Why are you so excited when he is mentioned?" Wang Guan asked in confusion.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday at Feng's hometown?" Yu Feibai explained: "I fell in love with a snuff bottle, but the price was too expensive. I couldn't afford it."

Wang Guan was startled and shocked, and asked quickly: "You mean, that snuff bottle is the work of Ma Shaoxuan?"

"That's right."

Yu Feibai nodded regretfully and said: "At that time, the snuff bottle with the interior painting was auctioned for nearly five million. How could I have the spare money? I could only watch the snuff bottle being photographed away."

"Five million?" Wang Guan was so shocked that he couldn't help but ask: "Who is this Ma Shaoxuan? How can his snuff bottle with interior painting be so expensive?"

"Have you ever heard of the four famous masters of the Beijing School?"

At this time, Yu Feibai drove back on the road and explained casually: "Since the inner-painted pot craft came into being, it reached its peak during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, and many famous craft masters emerged. Ma Shaoxuan was a very famous Beijing school at that time.

One of the four masters of interior painting."

"At that time, there was a jingle that was specially used to describe these four famous figures. Ma Shaoxuan came to the palace, Ye Zhongsan was admired by both refined and popular people, Zhou Leyuan was white and snowy in spring, and Wu Changan was talented in both civil and military affairs. Among them, Ma Shaoxuan ranked first and was famous in the capital. Even the royal nobles and nobles at that time

Celebrities are also proud to collect a Shaoxuan painted teapot."

Yu Feibai sighed: "For example, Li Hongzhang, eunuch Li Lianying, art master Mei Lanfang and others all received gifts from Ma Shaoxuan personally and became the envy of everyone at that time."

"Is it such an exaggeration?" Wang Guan asked in surprise.

"It's not an exaggeration at all." Yu Feibai said with a smile: "You will know it when you go back and check the information. Ma Shaoxuan's inner-painted pot art is famous both at home and abroad. In 1915, he even won the gold medal at the Panama International Exposition in the United States. An American

Some experts even commented in their books that Ma Shaoxuan is the Picasso among the artists who paint pots inside."

"Since then, Ma Shaoxuan's fame has reached a higher level. His works are not only sought after in China, but also become the target of European royal families, as well as major museums and private collectors around the world."

Yu Feibai sighed and said: "So, most of Ma Shaoxuan's painted pots are found abroad, but they are rare in China. Even if some appear by chance, it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity from the fake, and most of them are fake."

Wang Guan frowned and thought deeply, then asked: "What are the characteristics of Ma Shaoxuan's inner-painted pots?"

"He is known for his interior painting techniques of poetry and painting at the same time. The most distinctive feature is that he is rich in calligraphy and painting, full of poetic and picturesque feeling, and his painting skills are extremely exquisite. The font is Ouyang Xun's regular script, which is very neat and rigorous."

Yu Feibai recalled: "Moreover, an oval-shaped seal depicting the word Shaoxuan is usually placed where the signature is signed."

"Is it like this?" Wang Guan said, passing the painted snuff bottle in his hand to Yu Feibai's eyes.

"Click!"

Yu Feibai took a look and realized that he made a wrong steering wheel and almost drove the car into a ditch. Fortunately, his reaction was quite timely, and there were not many vehicles on the road, so there was no accident.

"Hey, be careful."

Wang Guan exclaimed in shock, clutching the seat belt tightly with his left hand, his heart almost bursting out of his chest.

"Who told you to scare me?"

Yu Fei said hard, but he still wiped off the cold sweat, carefully parked the car on the side of the road, then hurriedly stretched out his hand and said: "I didn't see clearly just now, please show me something quickly..."

"Here, come over."

After Wang Guan handed the painted pot in his hand to Yu Feibai, he immediately unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car, walked around to the other side, and with a serious look on his face instructed Yu Feibai to give up the driver's seat.

The two encounters made Wang Guan no longer worried about Yu Feibai's current condition, so he decided to drive by himself.

"It's long overdue."

Yu Feibai was very happy. He immediately moved his seat, sat in the passenger seat, and carefully looked at the inner painting pot.

Wang Guan got into the car, fastened his seat belt, and drove away carefully. By the way, he had also passed the driver's license test, but he had never had the money to buy a car before, so this was his first time driving.

It was only on the road in the wild mountains that Wang Guan had the courage. If he was in a busy city, he would not be so sure. He would rather take a taxi than be a road killer.

After driving for a few minutes with no technical skills, Wang Guan heard Yu Feibai yell: "Why does this inner-painted pot look more and more like the real thing?"

"Are you sure?" Wang Guan asked, somewhat seriously. If it was really Ma Shaoxuan's inner-painted pot, then according to Yu Feibai, it would be worth at least several million. So, he was holding this thing hot and had to send it back to Mr. Feng quickly.

.

In fact, Wang Guan also knew that his questions were unnecessary. After all, the items were identified by his special ability. Judging from the color of the precious light on the inner painted pot, it must be a hundred years old. In addition, the words inside the pot were covered up.

, and Ma Shaoxuan's seal, the truth is about to come out.

It must be that after someone got this Ma Shaoxuan painted pot, he was afraid of being coveted by others, so he simply used a layer of powder to paste Ma Shaoxuan's name and seal. Later, it was lost in the market and was regarded as an ordinary antique painted pot. Finally, it was sold to

One of Mr. Feng's students bought it and gave it to him.

By a very coincidence, this thing was regarded as a gift by Mr. Feng, and was quietly placed in a brocade box and presented to Wang Guan.

If Wang Guan hadn't been bored and took the inner-painted pot out to watch and play with, and even used his special ability to look at it, he would have discovered the mystery inside the pot. Otherwise, I don't know how long it would have taken for this secret to be revealed.

After all, there are many types of snuff bottles, and the inner-painted snuff bottles are just one of them. There are also many schools of inner-painted snuff bottles, and the Beijing style is just one of them.

Although Ma Shaoxuan is a master of Beijing style interior painting, not everyone has carefully studied his works. Besides, the main evidence of this interior painting bottle has been covered up. Without the signature, even if it is a study of snuff bottles

Senior experts may not be able to identify at a glance that this is Ma Shaoxuan's work.

Therefore, without Wang Guan's discovery, this inner-painted pot might have been ignored by people, and it might have been damaged at some point and completely disappeared into the dust of history.

While Wang Guan was sighing in his heart, he heard Yu Feibai shake his head and say: "The things look very real, but the words written by Ma Shaoxuan and the seal are a bit blurry."

"nonsense."

Wang Guan said angrily: "That's because someone put a layer of powder on the inner wall of the pot, covering up the prints. I just accidentally discovered something was wrong, so I wiped some of the powder with a cotton swab, and then the prints were revealed.

Come."

"Ha, that's it. I asked you why you didn't notice yesterday that there was this signature on the pot."

Yu Feibai suddenly realized it, and at the same time he couldn't put it down and touched the inner-painted pot, and said excitedly: "Then, I am now 90% sure that this inner-painted pot is the work of Ma Shaoxuan."

"Only 90%?" Wang Guan frowned and said, "Can't you be completely sure? Judging from the shape, color, and texture of the pot, this is definitely not something new."

"The probability of 90% is already very high." Yu Feibai explained: "Furthermore, even if we can be sure that this painted pot is an antique, we cannot be sure that it belongs to Ma Shaoxuan. You must know that at that time, Ma Shaoxuan was already a famous master at home and abroad.

.His painted snuff bottles are very valuable, so there are many forgers..."
