Chapter 395: Literally

"Father, don't worry, I will definitely give you the fastest answer. Xu Qinghe said with certainty, it was just an appraisal of a painting, although the people he knew were not as talented as the people his brother knew, but the people he knew were all geniuses, and he didn't know who would solve the problem faster in the end.

He said this, which made Xu Qingliu a little surprised, where did his younger brother get his confidence?" He said lightly to Xu Qinghe.

"You too. Xu Qinghe threw a wink at his brother.

Seeing the two of them look so scrappy, Master Xu was very happy and looking forward to it. The authenticity of the painting is not important to him, the growth and training of his two sons is more important than anything else, and the painting is worth it even if it is fake.

To identify this kind of ancient calligraphy and painting, you have to find the kind of person who is very capable of persuasion. There happens to be an antique shop in the whole of Shanghai, and I heard that the owner there is a very good person who is very good at identifying antiques, especially in calligraphy and painting.

Xu Qinghe and Xu Qingliu's first choice was naturally there, the two did not greet each other, and acted separately. Xu Qingliu went directly to the car in the afternoon. It's just that when I arrived at the place, I found that this antique shop was closed? Antiques are generally not popular commodities, and there are few people who have hobbies in this area, so it is normal to come and encounter the closure.

A silk shop next to the antique shop saw him standing at the door and asked, "It's a bad luck that you're here, their boss has just left for a while." ”

Is this a coincidence? When he came, the boss happened to close, Xu Qingliu thought for a moment, and then asked, "May I ask the owner of the antique shop who has been running his shop in such an irregular way?"

The boss thought for a moment and said, "Hu has a strange temper and doesn't follow the rules in what he does, but today is the first time to close the store so early." ”

The old man in his mouth is the owner of the antique shop, Boss Hu, who is said to be a very individual person, although he has a personality, he is not isolated, and has made a lot of good friends. Hearing him say this, Xu Qingliu began to doubt, and he was even a little sure that all this was not a coincidence, where in the world are there so many coincidences. It seems that he should have been called by someone, could it be Xu Qinghe? But how could he act so quickly? Hasn't he always been cynical, has no friends and no power? Now he has the ability to take Boss Hu away so quickly.

"Thank you. Xu Qingliu said with a bad face.

"He's not here, why don't you come to my store to see the silk?" the uncle said with a smile, he turned around and left as if he didn't hear it, the uncle behind him looked at his distant back and shook his head, this person is handsome, and when he also told him Hu, he left without any politeness, and if he didn't buy it, he had to say it, and he turned his head and left pretending not to hear what it meant?

Hu, the owner of an antique shop in Shanghai who is now the most capable of identifying calligraphy and paintings, may have been dug up by his younger brother, and now he has to take another path. In Lao Cai, there seems to be an antique street that sells all kinds of antiques, but many of them are fake, and there are only a few real things, and few people can buy them right. Xu Qingliu thought that since they were selling antiques, it was estimated that there were always two people inside whose abilities were prominent.

Coming to the old street, Xu Qingliu came to an antique shop that was a little larger than other shops with his own judgment, and the owner of it was a gray-haired old man who liked antiques and was old, and his ability to distinguish in this regard was also one of the best.

It just so happened that he brought a jade wrench from the Ming Dynasty today, and tested this boss to see if he could distinguish the authenticity, his jade wrench must be real, and he put another small jade pendant from the glass jade shop together and took it to this boss to identify.

"Hello, you're the owner of this antique shop, right?" Xu Qingliu asked politely, pretending to be a cowardly junior.

The white-bearded old man squinted at him and asked suspiciously, "Is there something wrong?"

"That's the case, I have encountered something at home, I urgently need money, I have two jade jewelry here that can be used as money, they are all things with vintage, I want you to help me identify the authenticity." After speaking, he took out the jade wrench finger and the jade pendant, the jade pendant was specially selected for him by Shang Muli before, it is a very high-grade imitation, and ordinary people can't tell the authenticity. And the traces of aging are also very natural, because the time of jade pendant materials is originally time. It would be even more difficult to distinguish antiques, Shang Muli said that if it wasn't for her knowing in advance, she would have thought it was genuine at first.

The old man put on his reading glasses, took the wrench and the jade pendant and looked back and forth, up and down, left and right. He sighed while watching, Xu Qingliu pretended to be nervous and said, "What's the boss?

The boss pretended to smile and explained: "Child, you earned it, this wrench is a real thing of the Ming Dynasty, as for this jade pendant is a high imitation, if it weren't for me, others would admit their mistakes." ”

Xu Qingliu was overjoyed in his heart, it really didn't take any effort to get it, this old man's ability to distinguish is not low. Xu Qinghe has now recruited Boss Hu, he can't waste time here, he can't play one step ahead of his younger brother. So, he told the white-haired old man his identity, and also explained that his father had a pair of calligraphy and paintings, and wanted to ask him to help identify the authenticity. The old man agreed, and he was still very interested in being able to see the things of Qi Qing.

In this way, Xu Qingliu took the white-haired old man back to Xu's mansion, Xu Qinghe hadn't come back yet, he directly took someone to find his father.

"Father, this is a very capable antique connoisseur I have found, you can show him the painting. Xu Qingliu said slowly, with the help of other people, the master could identify the authenticity of his things in a few minutes, which showed that he really had the ability to identify antiques, and he believed in him very much.

It was only one day, and he directly brought people in, saying that he could distinguish the authenticity. "Great, I don't have to wait to do it in a hurry, the housekeeper will bring my paintings. At the sound of the order, the butler took the painting, opened it and hung it on the wall. The white-haired old man touched his beard and looked at this calligraphy and painting, and couldn't help but sigh secretly, this painting is really amazing, looking at the details of the painting, he sighed in his heart and immediately said happily: "Congratulations to Master Xu, your calligraphy and painting is the true work of Qiqing painter." ”

"Ah, is what you said true, is this really a real thing? Isn't this a priceless treasure?" Master Xu was very happy, and Xu Qingliu was also very happy. At this moment, someone suddenly said, "Wait a minute." ”

Two people came in from the door, Xu Qinghe, and a young man stood beside him.

"Father, it's presumptuous for me to come and disturb me suddenly. Xu Qinghe entered the room and apologized first, and then explained: "This is my friend and the famous antique connoisseur Boss Hu. ”

Xu Qingliu looked at the two people in front of him with complicated eyes, and his younger brother actually recruited Boss Hu. It's just that this Boss Hu is a young man, listening to his name, the others have always been an old gentleman, but I didn't expect him to be so prosperous.

is so young and promising, Master Xu naturally knows his name, and immediately nodded and asked him to identify his painting, Boss Hu stepped forward and glanced at it, and said affirmatively: "This painting is fake." ”

"Fake?" The whole room fell silent, and the housekeeper also felt strange and said, "But the people brought by the eldest young master just now said that this is true!" It's okay not to say this, but now that I say it, it makes Xu Qingliu even more embarrassed.

This is interesting, Xu Qinghe slowly approached, looked at the painting, and asked Boss Hu: "Are you sure you painted it yourself?"

Boss Hu looked at the white-haired old man and said, "I don't know if you have studied Qi Lao's words, his words are omitted a hook, this is his habit and his personality." He said that if the representative still questioned him, he could draw a copy on the spot.

Hearing him say this, the old man stepped forward again to look at the painting, and immediately bowed and apologized: "It was my negligence, this painting is indeed fake." ”
