369 Melantus

Seeing that Chen Xiu finally appeared, Gong Daoming also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly beckoned Chen Xiu to come over.

Wang Jingyu saw Chen Xiu and Tang Yuanyuan appear together, Tang Yuanyuan was holding Chen Xiu's arm like a little woman, and jealousy, new hatred and old hatred all came to his heart.

"Damn, I thought he was a little bodyguard. is actually in the same group as Gong Daoming, and he also has a share in this auction house!

It hurt Lao Tzu to donate 100 million yuan for charity, and was scolded by the old man for one night.

This time, I'm going to have fun that your auction house can't open in Shacheng!"

Wang Jingyu shouted to many reporters: "Fellow reporters, take a quick picture of that person, he is the boss behind the auction house! Give him a few more close-ups, so that the people of Shacheng can see the true face of this liar!"

Twenty or thirty reporters swarmed up, and the flash lights flashed so violently that Chen Xiu couldn't open his eyes a little, but Gong Daoming sent out bodyguards to separate the reporters before he came over.

"What about paintings?"

Since the other party has the intention to smash the scene, Chen Xiu is too lazy to talk nonsense, as long as he identifies the authenticity of the painting, everything will be broken.

"Let you pretend to be forced! The three old masters of the auction house just now can't tell the truth from the fake, you think you can do it!"

Wang Jingyu sneered, and with a wave of his hand, his assistant directly opened the painting bucket and spread the "Melantu" on the table.

As the name suggests, "Melantu" depicts an orchid, and the picture is very simple, with only an orchid floating in an empty background, and nothing else.

In the painting, there are few orchid leaves, two flower buds, one is in full bloom, the other is in bud, although the ink is not heavy, but it outlines a cluster of sparse flowers and simple leaves.

Of course, the inscription is indispensable, and the two sides of the "Melantu" are equipped with the author's inscription, and on the left is "This volume was made on the fifteenth day of the first month of Bingwu," and a seal was written "Sonanweng".

On the right side, there is a poem inscribed by the painter in the book: "I have always bowed my head and asked the Emperor Xi, who came to this country, and before the painting opened the nostrils, the sky was full of ancient fragrance." ”

This Suonan Weng is Zheng Sixiao's number.

Chen Xiu nodded as soon as he looked at the painting, a famous artist is a famous artist, and with just a few brushstrokes, he has already expressed the artistic conception of the noble character of the orchid wild, not afraid of wind and frost, lonely and arrogant, and no one is self-satisfied.

Of course, if this painting is like this, it is the most perfect, but the painting is stamped with a bunch of messy seals, including "Jiaqing Imperial Treasure", "Qianlong Imperial Treasure", "Xuantong Imperial Treasure" seals, as well as "Imperial Study Treasure", "Sanxitang Jingjian Seal" seals and other seals.

The originally elegant orchid was suddenly made a mess by these seals.

Chen Xiu directly greeted Qianlong's father and son and the woman in the last emperor's family in his heart.

Qianlong, an old guy, just likes to make limericks and spoil calligraphy and painting, and he likes to stamp a seal first and then directly inscribe a poem when a famous masterpiece falls into his hands.

It's just that this emperor hasn't counted a little bit in his heart, and he doesn't know how good his poems are...... Down-to-earth, the word is even more ...... It's hard to put into words.

This "Melantu" is even worse than other paintings that were destroyed by the Qianlong Emperor, and Lan Qianlong's son and his grandson's grandson also stamped a seal.

"Don't nod your head and pretend to be a scholar, whether this painting is real or fake, accept it or not, give me an accurate word!"

Wang Jingyu couldn't help but urge when he saw Chen Xiu pretending to be looking at the painting realistically.

Chen Xiu also ignored Wang Jingyu, but looked at Gong Daoming: "What did the old gentleman in the line say?"

"I think it's real!"

Before Gong Daoming could speak, an old man in his sixties behind him stood up first, and Chen Xiu also recognized him, he was a resident treasure connoisseur hired by the auction house with a high salary-Ding Gong, who had some attainments in calligraphy, painting, and seals.

"Master Ding, how do you determine that this painting is real?" Chen Xiu didn't draw conclusions first, but instead asked for advice.

Ding Gong pointed to the "Treasure of Jiaqing Imperial Collection", "Treasure of Qianlong Imperial Collection", and "Treasure of Xuantong Imperial Collection" seals on the painting, as well as the seals of "Imperial Study Treasure" and "Sanxitang Jingjian Seal" and said: "I have seen a lot of Qianlong stamps, and it is safe to say that this is absolutely genuine!"

Chen Xiu nodded subconsciously, this Ding Gong is still a little level.

Wang Jingyu on the side saw a burst of ecstasy in his eyes: "This kid is going to be fooled!"

I didn't want Chen Xiu to directly give a conclusion, but looked at the other two appraisers and asked, "Master Sun, Master Zhao, what do you think?"

Sun and Zhao glanced at each other, and finally Master Sun came out as a representative and said, "Mr. Chen, we think this painting should be copied by the Qing Dynasty!"

Chen Xiu smiled, didn't deny it, and asked, "What is the reason?"

"The ink color of this painting seems to be lighter, and it looks a little less powerful than when it was painted in the Song Dynasty. So both of us deduced that future generations should copy the works of our predecessors!"

After Master Sun finished speaking, Master Zhao added: "There is also this ink." ”

"What's wrong with ink?"

"If my inference is correct, it should be that the copyist's pen skills are insufficient, and he has re-painted the original painting, so some places will appear uneven in ink color!"

Chen Xiu also nodded, obviously agreeing with Master Zhao's statement.

Wang Jingyu on the side was in a hurry, and urged Chen Xiu and said, "If it's true, you say it, and if it's false, you say it." Whether this picture is true or false, quickly give a conclusion, accept it or not!

If you are such a big auction house, if you can't tell whether a painting is real or fake, I don't think it will open tomorrow!"

As he spoke, the reporters were very cooperative with a burst of wild shooting, and the shutter was "clicking".

"Chen Xiu, is this painting real or fake?"

Gong Daoming saw that Chen Xiu agreed with everything, and he was a little uncalm in his heart, thinking that this "Melantu" was stumped by Chen Xiu.

Chen Xiu didn't answer Gong Daoming's question, but looked at Wang Jingyu and said playfully: "Wang Shao, I donated 100 million yuan last night, and now I have no money?"

"Humph!"

was lifted by Chen Xiu and sprinkled with salt, Wang Jingyu snorted coldly and said coldly: "It's useless for you to talk less, I'll ask you whether to accept this painting or not!"

"Wang Shao is in a hurry, is he really so short of money!"

Chen Xiu said with a smile: "Since Wang Shao is so short of money and has an acquaintance, I can't bear to let you take out all the treasures of the box and put them up for auction, so that the face of the four young people in Shacheng will be hung up, right."

Well, since the low price you put on the auction house is 3.5 million. You are so short of money, I will give you 7 million and sell it to our auction house at a fixed price, and there is no need for outsiders to think that your Wang family is so poor that you have to auction things. ”
