"It's kind of weird. Wu Duo took the cigarette and lit it, and then sat down.

"You mean ······"

"I mean, they don't see anything, are they going to negotiate something? We've already taken it, and they're trying to do it again. Wu Duo explained.

Hu Yunde nodded, "Moreover, the price they offered is not low, saying that they can turn around." ”

"You came up with it?"

"The problem now is that you can either make 990,000 yuan steadily, or you can lose money and wash it out. Hu Yunde looked at Wu Duo, "What do you think?"

"I don't think I'll give it to him. "Wu Duo is categorical.

Hu Yunde took a puff of cigarette, "You're right. It's strange, they went to discuss, they must have not seen what it was before, and they are not stupid, how could they suddenly increase the price?"

At this time, Wu Duo suddenly thought of one point, that is, this middle-aged couple, maybe in the process of discussion, thought of a certain Shufu porcelain egg white glazed bottom tire they had seen, which was very similar to this jar, and decided to give it a go after discussion.

But I can't tell Hu Yunde about this, because I can't say that I already know that this is a Shufu porcelain egg white glaze secretly engraved peony pattern jar.

"Uncle De, no matter what, since you have taken it, I think it is better to wash it out. 990,000 yuan is not a lot of money for Daya Zhai, in case it is a big leak, it will be lost because of a small loss. Wu Duo said again.

Hu Yunde nodded, "Okay, in fact, I have the same idea as you, and the reason why I didn't block it is also a kind of politeness." If you refuse, it's better to say that the big boss doesn't agree. ”

When Wu Duo heard this, he put his mind at ease, "Uncle De, this thing needs to be washed, I'm afraid I have to find a professional, after all, it may be old porcelain, and while removing the paint, I also have to ensure that the glaze is not damaged." ”

"That's not necessary, I did this when I was younger. There are also specialized paint strippers available. ”

"You still want to come in person!" Wu Duo said with a smile.

"I haven't encountered this kind of business for many years, but I didn't expect Lao Wu to be quite fun-loving. However, let's wait until I go back to Qizhou, with paint, it is also a kind of protection. ”

"Good. Wu Duo paused, "Uncle De, in case you change your attention again, you don't want to paint, you want to make a steady profit, don't sell others, think about me first." ”

"You seem to be so sure, huh?"

"Mainly, I really wanted to gamble. ”

"Hahahaha. Hu Yunde laughed, "Okay, if you can't say it, you can't say it." Let's go back and witness the miracle together. ”

"Good. Wu Duo smiled and asked, "By the way, Uncle De, where are these middle-aged couples? And that Miss Liang, do you know where they came from?"

"This middle-aged couple is from Yangcheng, and the two of them are in the antique business. Although they are peers, after all, they are too far apart, and I have never heard of them. Hu Yunde replied, "As for this Miss Liang, I haven't communicated with her - but I guess that his father may be Liang Qiming." Because before coming, I heard Zhang Lao say that he might also come. ”

"Well, it's the same age as Liang Qichao······"

"You kid, where are you!" Hu Yunde twisted his fingers, "Liang Qiming is an antique dealer in Jinmen, you may not have heard of it." This person's fame is mainly in calligraphy and painting, and he has good eyesight, and he is nicknamed Liang Banzhang. ”

"Hey, what kind of TV series is there, there is also a 'blue half', and in the end, I let a fake painting pout. ”

"It's all a joke for the uninitiated. Besides, the nickname is always a bit exaggerated, how can you look at the painting and look at the half-picture? However, the identification of calligraphy and painting is really difficult. Liang Qiming's matter, Mr. Jin Shengzhen knows more, Mr. Jin is a painter himself, and he also admires Liang Qiming's eyesight, which means that he is not in vain. ”

"Then this Miss Liang, presumably her eyesight in calligraphy and painting is also good?"

"I don't know. But looking at her performance on porcelain today, it's not bad. Hu Yunde tapped on the table, "If I go to Lotus Village tomorrow, I will read calligraphy and painting all day, and Liang Qiming will definitely go in person." ”

"Okay, then I'll just follow along. ”

The two chatted for a while, and Wu Duo went back to his room to rest.

The next day, another car came to pick them up and took them to the villa in Lotus Village.

In the same room, except for the wall with the window, the other three walls were covered with paintings and calligraphy, and on the rectangular table, there were also some small mirror hearts and albums.

Wu Duo counted them first, a full forty.

This time, it was not Hu Yunde and Wu Duo who were left alone to see it first, they arrived at 9 o'clock in the morning, there were already some people, and then some people came.

Miss Liang also came, with a middle-aged man in his fifties, presumably Liang Qiming.

Liang Qiming is very tall and personable, and after arriving, at the suggestion of Miss Liang, he also took the initiative to step forward and greet Hu Yunde.

"Hu always, right? I heard Jin Lao say that you will also come, and the little girl came back last night to talk about it, and we finally met today, and I am fortunate to meet you!"

"It's really Mr. Liang's daughter, I'm glad to be there. Hu Yunde stretched out his hand to shake it, "Let me introduce you, this Wu Duo is our appraiser in Daya Zhai." ”

"A talent, a young talent!" Liang Qiming also introduced, "Little girl Danqing, you met yesterday." Danqing, you have to learn more from Mr. Hu and Mr. Xiao Wu. ”

Liang Danqing wore a long skirt and a shawl with long hair today, which was a little softer than yesterday's dress, "Mr. Hu, Mr. Wu, give me a lot of advice." ”

After a few words of greeting, they looked at the calligraphy and painting separately.

This time, there were more people coming, and there were more calligraphy and paintings, and the scene seemed a little lively.

On each painting and calligraphy work, a price tag is pinned with a paper clip, with a number and price on it. According to Wu Xianming, this is the reserve price, and the first person to take the price tag will get it. And so that everyone doesn't have to worry, today will be a day of reading calligraphy and painting, and a light meal will be arranged at noon.

Wu Duo first took a general look, not to mention the authenticity here, judging from the inscriptions that can be seen, the works of the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China are the majority.

As for the other works, there is nothing too early, the earliest is the work of the Ming Dynasty. Of course, it is not the real thing, but the inscription is a Ming Dynasty calligrapher and painter.

Moreover, among the works of the Ming Dynasty, the works of the four Ming families (Shen Zhou, Tang Yin, Wen Zhengming, and Qiu Ying) were not found.

Among them, the most striking is an eight-foot vertical scroll hanging in the middle of the wall facing the door.

The content of the painting is ink landscape.

"Jiangnan Autumn Field".

A poem is inscribed in the upper margin:

In October, the wild color of the south of the Yangtze River is divided, and the fishing village Ogiura sees sand marks. If it is to cut Wu Songshui, I will be slightly confused.

Signed: Hyun Jae.

Seal both sides. One side is printed on the poem: Painting Zen. One side is printed under "Xuanzai": Dong Qichang's seal.

Dong Qichang, whose name is Xuanzai, was a calligrapher and painter in the Ming Dynasty. Dong Qichang's achievements in calligraphy and painting are not low, as far as painting is concerned, he studied under Dong Yuan, Ju Ran, Huang Gongwang, and Ni Zhan, especially good at landscapes.

Dong Qichang's character has been criticized in later generations, but his calligraphy and painting works, the artistic value is indeed very high, judging from today's auction records, large-scale or combined works of fine works, sold for tens of millions of high prices.

This is imitating Ni Zhan's landscape brushwork. Liang Qiming looked at the painting first, and while looking at it, he whispered to Liang Danqing beside him.

This ink landscape, if it is genuine, should indeed be Dong Qichang's imitation of Ni Zhan.

Ni Zhan, together with Huang Gongwang, Wang Meng, and Wu Zhen, is collectively known as the "Yuan Four Families". Here, in the eyes of ordinary people, Huang Gongwang is more famous, thanks to "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map".

In fact, the landscape painting style of the four Yuan families was developed from Dong Yuan and Ju Ran at the end of the Five Dynasties and the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, so Dong Qichang studied Dong Yuan, Ju Ran, Huang Gongwang, and Ni Zan in the same vein.

Wu Duo was also looking at the painting.

This painting, except for Dong Qichang's own inscription and seal, does not have any collection seals.

Moreover, if there is no record and source of inheritance and order, if it is a big auction, I am afraid that the word "paragraph" will be added to the auction catalogue.

Dong Qichang (paragraph) "Jiangnan Autumn Field Map".

Friends who have participated in the auction should have noticed that some calligraphy and painting works will be marked with the word "paragraph" or "biography" in parentheses.

One of the problems involved in this is that the auction industry never has fidelity, and fundamentally depends on the eye of the bidder, but although the auction company can not be authentic, it also has the obligation to inform the bidder of the defects of the lot. This flaw is not only a hard injury such as a breakage, but also a "soft injury" such as controversy.

As a result, there are labels of "paragraph" and "biography".

"Section" refers to the inscription and seal in calligraphy and painting. On a work, there is an inscription and seal of a certain calligrapher and painter, but there is no clear record of inheritance, and the auction company cannot guarantee that it is true, so add the word "paragraph".

The "paragraph" character works may be genuine, or they may be high imitations or even fabricated works.

The "biography" character works are precisely the calligraphy and painting works that do not have the author's inscription and seal, but the inheritance is orderly, and it is often accompanied by a large number of collection inscriptions and seals.

Before the Song and Yuan dynasties, a considerable part of the calligraphy and painting works were not printed by the author, but there were many of them who were inherited in an orderly manner, such as many such works in the Forbidden City.

In other words, the work of the word "biography" is a work that later generations consider to be authentic. Moreover, these "descendants" are often celebrities in the world of collecting.

In terms of probability, the works of the word "biography" are actually more reliable than the works of the word "paragraph". However, when it comes to a specific work, it is either 100 percent or 0 percent, and there is also the possibility of "fake drama and real singing" in the work of "biography."

This Dong Qichang imitation of Ni Zhan's style "Jiangnan Autumn Field Picture", strictly speaking, belongs to the "paragraph" character work.

However, this kind of business is different from the big auction, not only is it not true, but it is not reminded, and if you want to buy it, you can identify it yourself.

On the price tag of "Jiangnan Autumn Field Map", the price marked is 3.99 million, which may be that 4 million is not good. At this price, compared to the real thing, the discount is very strong. If it is genuine, such a size should be something in the tens of millions.

However, 3.99 million is not a decimal number after all; if it is a high imitation, even if it is a high imitation in the Ming and Qing dynasties, it is not a famous imitation, and it is far from this number.

Wu Duo first followed everyone to observe, this framing is very new, and the new arrival Wu Duo can also see that it is a matter of a few years, especially the mahogany shaft head, which is obviously made of new wood.

For an ancient painting, the intact original old mounting is naturally the best, but the later mounting, as long as it does not destroy the heart of the painting, is not a big problem, because the value is in the heart of the painting after all. Moreover, if the original old mounting is broken, it will also need to be re-mounted.

The paper, ink, and seal of the heart look old enough.

In addition, the penmanship or something, with Wu Duo's eyesight, he can't see so deeply.

There are a lot of calligraphy and painting works, and I can't waste too much time on this one, Wu Duo took a look, pretended to step forward from one side to take a closer look, and touched the heart of the painting.

Of course, he was also very careful, only touching the place where the frame and the painting were combined, and his eyes had to be close and scan back and forth in order to stall for time.

As a result, Wu Duo was really not the only one who did this, Liang Qiming also reached out on the other side and touched the heart of the painting, and what he touched was the place where there was ink.

The appreciation of calligraphy and painting is generally not directly touched by hand, and gloves are often worn, and the identification is mainly based on the eyes, and there is basically no need to touch. The two of them raised their hands on the left and right of the painting, and some of the onlookers frowned.

In fact, if your hands are very dry, it doesn't matter, but it looks very unprofessional.

In fact, Liang Qiming is very professional, and he touches the combination of ink and paper precisely to better judge the degree of age.

However, Liang Qiming stopped quickly.

After Wu Duo withdrew his hand, he quickly retreated, and when he turned his head, he found that Liang Qiming was looking at him, his eyes met, Liang Qiming smiled, "Xiao Wu, it seems that in addition to porcelain, you are also very good at calligraphy and painting." ”

Let Mr. Liang smile. Wu Duo responded with a smile, then nodded and left. And Liang Qiming also left this painting.

Hu Yunde didn't look at the painting, but looked at an album on the rectangular table, Wu Duo leaned in and whispered, "Uncle De, why don't you look at the most conspicuous one first?"

"I read it, but I just scanned the question, and I felt ······" When Hu Yunde said this, he only made a "hanging" mouth shape, and then said:

"His work, with such an obvious inscription and such a large size, but without any collection seals, I am afraid that the appraisal must be extremely careful, so no one will make up his mind so quickly, and it is not too late to read it in the end. While they look at that one, I'll look at the others, and besides, you happen to be looking at that one. ”

Wu Duo secretly admired.

He listened to it just now, this work is indeed old, but the time is in the early Qing Dynasty, which means that this is an imitation of the early Qing Dynasty. Whoever imitated it, I can't hear it. I don't think it's a famous one. If you are a famous artist, there is usually relevant information.

In this way, 3.99 million is definitely not worth buying.

At the same time, judging from Liang Qiming's performance, he should have given up.

Wu Duo then set his eyes on the album that Hu Yunde was holding.

"How about that one?" Hu Yunde asked Wu Duo again as he looked at it.

"As you said, it's never too late to see it at the end. Wu Duo said with a smile.

"This album is kind of interesting. After Hu Yunde read it, he handed it to Wu Duo.

After Wu Duo took it, he first closed it and looked at the inscription on the album brocade: Qing Ren Yi Zhong Kui Small Collection.

Ren Yi, a famous painter in the late Qing Dynasty, was also a leader of the Shanghai School of Painting and one of the four masters of the Shanghai School. Ren Bonian's paintings originated in folk art, and his Zhong Kui pictures are still very famous.

The small characters in block letters on this inscription should be made by the collector or framer, and may not have anything to do with Ren Bonian.

Wu Duo opened the album, and there are indeed pictures of Zhong Kui, a total of 12 pictures, including Zhong Kui's sword, Zhong Kui's ghost hunting, Zhong Kui's fox killing, Zhong Kui's marrying sister, and so on.
