古玩行中有对天敌,就是造假画的和看假画的。造假画的,费尽心机,用尽绝招,为的是骗过看假画的那双又尖又刁的眼;看假画的,却凭这双眼识破天机,看破诡计,捏着这造假的家伙没藏好的尾巴尖儿,打一堆画里把它抻出来,晾在光天化日底下。
这看假画的名叫蓝眼。在锅店街裕成公古玩铺做事,专看画。蓝眼不姓蓝,他姓江,原名在棠,蓝眼是他的外号。天津人好起外号,一为好叫,二为好记。这蓝眼来源于他的近视镜,镜片厚得赛瓶底,颜色发蓝,看上去真赛一双蓝眼。而这蓝眼的关键还是在他的眼上。据说他关灯看画,也能看出真假;话虽有点玄,能耐不掺假。他这蓝眼看画时还真的大有神道——看假画,双眼无神;看真画,一道蓝光。
这天,有个念书打扮的人来到铺子里,手拿一轴画。外边的题签上写着“大涤子湖天春色图”蓝眼看似没看,他知道这题签上无论写嘛,全不算数,真假还得看画。他刷地一拉,疾如闪电,露出半尺画心。这便是蓝眼出名的“半尺活”,他看画无论大小,只看半尺。是真是假,全拿这半尺画说话,绝不多看一寸一分。蓝眼面对半尺画,眼镜片刷地闪过一道蓝光,他抬起头问来者:
“你打算卖多少钱?”
来者没急着要价,而是说:“听说西头的黄三爷也临摹过这幅画。”
黄三爷是津门造假画的第一高手。古玩铺里的人全怕他。没想到蓝眼听赛没听,又说一遍:“我眼里从来没有什么黄三爷。你说你这画打算卖多少钱吧。”
“两条。”来者说。这两条是二十两黄金。
要价不低,也不算太高,两边稍稍地你抬我压,十八两便成交了。
打这天起,津门的古玩铺都说锅店街的裕成公买到一轴大涤子石涛的山水,水墨浅绛,苍润之极,上边还有大段题跋,尤其难得。有人说这件东西是打北京某某王府流落出来的。来卖画的人不大在行,蓝眼却抓个正着。花钱不少,东西更好。这么精的大涤子,十年内天津的古玩行就没现过。那时没有报纸,嘴巴就是媒体,愈说愈神,愈传愈广。接二连三总有人来看画,裕成公都快成了绸缎庄了。
世上的事,说足了这头,便开始说那头。大约事过三个月,开始有人说裕成公那幅大涤子靠不住。初看挺唬人,可看上几遍就稀汤寡水,没了精神。真假画的分别是,真画经得住看,假画受不住瞧。这话传开之后,就有新闻冒出来——有人说这画是西头黄三爷一手造的赝品!这话不是等于拿盆脏水往人家蓝眼的袍子上泼吗?
蓝眼有根,理也不理。愈是不理,传得愈玄。后来就说得有鼻子有眼儿了。说是有人在针市街一个人家里,看到了这轴画的真品。于是,又是接二连三,不间断有人去裕成公古玩铺看画,但这回是想瞧瞧黄三爷用嘛能耐把蓝眼的眼蒙住的。向来看能人栽跟头都最来神儿!
裕成公的老板佟五爷心里有点发毛,便对蓝眼说:“我信您的眼力,可我架不住外头的闲话,扰得咱铺子整天乱哄哄的。咱是不是找个人打听打听那画在哪儿。要真有张一模一样的画,就想法把它亮出来,分清楚真假,更显得咱高。”
蓝眼听出来老板没底,可是流言闲语谁也没辙,除非就照老板的话办,真假一齐亮出来。人家在暗处闹,自己在明处赢。
佟老板打来尤小五。尤小五是天津卫的一只地老鼠,到处乱钻,嘛事都能叫拿耳朵摸到。他们派尤小五去打听,转天有了消息。原来还真的另有一幅大涤子,也叫《湖天春色图》,而且真的就在针市街一个姓崔的人家!佟老板和蓝眼都不知道这崔家是谁。佟老板便叫尤小五引着蓝眼去看。蓝眼不能不去,待到了那家一看,眼镜片刷刷闪过两道蓝光,傻了!
真画原来是这幅。铺子里那幅是假造的!这两幅画的大小、成色、画面,全都一样,连图章也是仿刻的。可就是神气不同——瞧,这幅真的是神气!
他当初怎么打的眼,已经全然不知。此时面对这画,真恨不得钻进地里去。他二十年没错看过一幅。他蓝眼简直成了古玩行里的神。他说真必真,说假准假,没人不信。可这回一走眼,传了出去,那可毁了。看真假画这行,看对一辈子全是应该的,看错一幅就一跟头栽到底。
他没出声。回到店铺跟老板讲了实话。裕成公和蓝眼是连在一块的,要栽全栽。佟老板想了一夜。有了主意,决定把崔家那轴大涤子买过来,花大价钱也在所不惜。两幅画都攥在手里,哪真哪假就全由自己说了。但办这事他们决不能露面,便另外花钱请个人,假装买主,跟随尤小五到崔家去买那轴画。谁料人家姓崔的开口就是天价。不然就自己留着不卖了。买东西就怕一边非买,一边非不卖。可是去装买主这人心里有底,因为来时黄老板对他有话“就是砸了我铺子,你也得把画给我买来”。这便一再让步,最后竟花了七条金子才买到手,反比先前买的那轴多花了两倍的钱还多。
待把这轴画拿到裕成公,佟老板舒口大气,虽然心疼钱,却保住了裕成公的牌子。他叫伙计们把两轴画并排挂在墙上,彻底看个心明眼亮。等画挂好,蓝眼上前一瞧,眼镜片刷刷刷闪过三道光。人竟赛根棍子立在那里。万事大吉下的怪事就在眼前——原来还是先前那幅是真的,刚买回来的这幅反倒是假的!
真假不放在一起比一比,根本分不出真假——这才是人家造假画的本事,也是最高超的本事!
可是蓝眼长的一双是嘛眼?肚脐眼?
蓝眼差点一口气闭过去。转过三天,他把前前后后的事情缕了一遍,这才明白,原来这一切都有是黄三爷在暗处做的圈套。一步步叫你钻进来。人家真画卖得不吃亏,假画卖得比天高。他忽然想起,最早来卖画的那个书生打扮的人,不是对他说过“黄三爷也临摹过这幅画”吗?人家有话在先,早就说明白这幅画有真有假。再看打了眼怨谁?看来,这位黄三爷不单冲着钱来的,干脆说是冲着自己来的。人家叫你手里攒着真画,再去买他造的假画。多绝!等到他明白了这一层,才算明白到家,认栽到底!打这儿起,蓝眼卷起被袱卷儿离开了裕成公。自此不单天津古玩行他这号,天津地面也瞧不见了的影子。有人说他得一场大病,从此躺下,再没起来。栽得真是太惨了!
再想想看,他还有更惨的——他败给人家黄三爷,却只见到黄三爷的手笔,人家的面也没叫他见过呢!
所幸的是,他最后总算想到黄三爷的这一手。死得明明白白。
There are natural enemies in the antique trade, the forgers and the lookers. The forger has gone to great lengths to deceive those who see the fake painting with their sharp, sharp eyes, but those who see the fake painting with their eyes see through the deception and hold the tip of the forger's tail, which is not well hidden, pull it out of a bunch of pictures and hang it out in broad daylight. Blue Eyes is the name of the person who saw the fake painting. In the Guodian Street Yucheng Gong antique shop work, look at the painting. Blue eyes not surname Blue, his surname Jiang, the original name in the Tang, Blue Eyes is his nickname. Tianjin people good nickname, a good call, two good to remember. The blue eyes came from his near-sighted glasses, which were as thick as the bottom of a bottle and were bluish in color. They looked like blue eyes. And the key to those blue eyes is still in his eyes. It is said that even when he turns off the light to look at the picture, he can tell the truth from the lie. When he looks at the painting with his blue eyes, he really has a magic way -- looking at the fake painting, his eyes are dull; looking at the real painting, there is a blue light. On this day, a man dressed as a schoolboy came into the shop with a scroll in his hand. Outside the sign on the "Big Dizi Lake Spring map" blue eyes did not look, he knew that whether the sign on the written well, does not count, true or false still have to look at the painting. He brushed and pulled, like lightning, revealing half a foot of his heart. This is the famous blue-eyed "half-foot live", he looked at the painting regardless of size, only half-foot. True or false, take this half-inch painting to speak, never look at an inch and a penny. Blue Eyes were half a foot in front of the painting, and his glasses flashed a blue light. He looked up and asked the caller, "how much do you want for it?" The caller was in no hurry to ask, instead, he said, "I heard that Huang San-ye of Xitou also copied this painting." < p > Huang san-ye is the best forger in Tianjin. Everyone in the Antique Shop was afraid of him. But blue-eyed did not listen, and said again, "I have never seen Master Huang. Tell me how much you intend to sell this painting for.". These two are 20 taels of gold. The asking price was not low, nor was it too high. With a little bit of pressure from both sides, the deal was done in eighteen taels. From that day on, the curio shops in Tianjin said that Yu Cheng Kung of the Guodian Street had bought a scroll of Shitao's landscape. The ink and wash were light and dark, with a long inscription on it, which was particularly rare. Some people say that this thing is hit Beijing so-and-so Wang Fu Flow Out. The dealer wasn't very good at it, but blue eyes caught him red-handed. It's a lot of money. It's better. Such a fine large polyester, ten years in Tianjin Antique Line did not appear. There was no newspaper, the mouth was the media, and the more you talked, the more popular it became. One after another people always come to see the painting, Yucheng almost became a satins zhuang. When you've said enough about this world, you start talking about that world. After about three months, some people began to say that Yu Cheng Gong that big polyester son is not reliable. At first glance quite bluff, can see a few times on the thin soup few water, no spirit. The difference between a real painting and a fake one is that the real one stands up to scrutiny and the fake one doesn't. As word spread, news broke -- some people said the painting was a fake by Xitou Huang Sanye! Isn't that the equivalent of pouring dirty water on someone's blue-eyed robe? Blue Eyes have roots. The more you ignore it, the more it spreads. And then it was all about the nose and the eyes. That someone saw the real scroll at a house on Needle Street. So, again is one after another, uninterrupted somebody goes to Yu Cheng Gong antique shop to see a picture, but this time it is to want to see Huang San Ye with can bear to cover the blue eye. It's always good to see a good man fall! Tong Wu, the boss of Yu Cheng Kung, was a little nervous, he said to his blue eyes, "I believe in your eyesight, but I can't stand the gossip outside, which disturbs our shop all day long.". Should we ask someone where the painting is. If there really is a picture that looks exactly like it, try to show it out and tell the difference between the real one and the fake one." But gossip no one can do, unless according to the boss, true and false out together. They play in the dark, they win in the open. Boss Tong called You Xiaowu. You Xiaowu is a Tianjin Wei ground mouse, drill everywhere, everything can be called to touch the ear. They sent you to find out, and the next day there was news. It turned out that there really is another big dizi, also called "Spring Lake Picture", and really in the needle city street a surname Cui People! Tong and blue eyes don't know who this Cui family is. Tong boss then calls you small five to lead the blue eye to see. Blue Eyes can not go, stay to a look at the home, glasses brush flash two blue light, silly! This is the original painting. The one in the shop is a fake! The two paintings are the same in size, colour and picture, and even the seal is imitated. But the air is different-look, this is really air! How he got it in the first place, he had no idea. At this point in the face of this painting, I really want to get into the ground. He hasn't seen one in 20 years. His blue eyes are like a god in antiques. He said the truth will be true, said false accurate leave, no one does not believe. But if this gets out, it'll ruin everything. See true or false painting this line, see Right All one's life is should, see wrong one to fall head over heels in the end. He didn't make a sound. Went back to the shop and told the boss the truth. Yuchenggong and blue eyes are connected, to the whole plant. Tong thought about it all night. With the idea, decided to cui home that axis big polyester to buy over, spend big money at all costs. Two paintings are in the hand, which true and which false all by oneself said. But do this they must not show up, then pay another person, pretend to buy the buyer, follow you Xiaowu five to buy the scroll painting. But his name is Cui and his price is sky-high. Or you can keep it for yourself. When you buy something, you have to buy it and sell it. But to install the buyer this person has confidence, because when the yellow boss to him, "is to smash my shop, you have to buy me the painting.". It cost me seven pieces of gold, which was twice as much as the previous one. < p > to take the scroll to Yu Chenggong, Tong boss Shukou atmosphere, although love money, but to keep the Yu Chenggong brand. He told the boys to hang the two-axis paintings side by side on the wall, so that they could have a thorough look. When the picture was hung, blue eyes took a look, and the lens brush flashed three lights. The man was standing there like a stick. All is well under the strange things in front of you-the original or the previous one is true, just bought this one is false! If you don't compare the true and the false, you can't tell the true from the false -- that's what they do, and that's what they do best! But Blue Eyes, what are they? Belly button? Blue eyes almost closed. After three days, he put before and after the matter of the case, it was clear that all this has been Huang San Ye in the dark to do the trap. Step by step, I'll get you inside. Real paintings sell well, but fake ones sell well. He suddenly remembered that the first to sell the painting that scholar dress up, not to him said, "Huang Sanye also copied this painting"? I've told you before that this painting is real. Now who's the one with the sore eyes? It seems that the yellow third master not only to the money, simply said that is to their own. They tell you to keep the real painting in your hand, and then buy the fake. How Awesome Is That! Wait until he understands this layer, just calculate to understand home, admit defeat in the end! From here on, blue eyes rolled up to be rolled up and left Yu Cheng Gong. Since then not only the antique line in Tianjin he this number, Tianjin ground also invisible shadow. Some say he fell ill and never got up. What a Fall! Come to think of it, he had worse things to do-he had been beaten by Huang, but he had only seen his hand, and he had never seen his face! Fortunately, he finally thought of what Huang had done. Dead as a doornail. 标题: 蓝眼作者: 冯骥才
