After listening to Chen Yunhan's introduction, Huang Jianxiang was even more surprised, and casually picked up a fake painting and handed it to Tang Xin, saying, "Mr. Tang, please take a look at this painting, and then tell me where you bought this painting from?

Tang Xin opened the painting, glanced at it slightly, and replied: "This painting was bought at the audition site of the "Baojian" program in the summer of three years ago. The person who sold you the painting was surnamed Zhong, and you called him Mr. Zhong. And the person who recommended this painting to you is Jia Yi, a calligraphy and painting appraisal expert hired by the "Baojian" program team. The price you paid for this fake painting was 1.5 million yuan, right?"

Huang Jianxiang was so shocked that his eyes widened, and he couldn't take his eyes off Tang Xin, who was talking intently, with an incredible expression on his face.

After being stunned for a while, Huang Jianxiang came back to his senses, tilted his head and thought for a while, then suddenly bent down and picked up one of the three genuine paintings, handed it to Tang Xin, and said: "Mr. Tang, if you can tell the source and purchase price of this painting, then I will treat you as a living immortal, and I will definitely bow to you in the future." ”

Tang Xin smiled: "You don't need to look at this painting, I already know its origin." However, the way you painted this painting is not very correct, so it is better not to say it. ”

Huang Jianxiang said stubbornly: "You say, Jianli and Miss Chen are not outsiders, even if this painting really comes from the wrong way, I believe they will not spread it." ”

"Okay, then I'll be blunt: your painting was excavated by a tomb robbery gang from a Qing Dynasty tomb. The tomb robber who sold you the painting was nicknamed 'Old Knife', and the price you paid for the painting was 500,000 yuan. In addition, I would like to remind you: the real name of that 'old knife' is Wang Dacheng, and he has been arrested by the public security organs. If you bought this painting without knowing it, I recommend that you dispose of it as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble. ”

Huang Jianxiang looked at Tang Xin dumbfounded, and after a long time, he turned his head to Huang Jianli and said, "Establish, Mr. Tang is indeed a living immortal, I am really convinced." Thank you for introducing me to such a prodigy genius, and with him here tonight, I don't have to worry about buying a fake. ”

Huang Jianli said happily: "That's right, as long as Mr. Tang is present, no fakes and fakes can hide from his eyes." Brother, don't be careless about what Mr. Tang reminded you just now. Those grave robbers are the most vicious, beware of them framing you. ”

Huang Jianxiang said: "It's okay. That 'old knife' is the brother-in-law of Hu Zhankui, the deputy captain of the Cultural Relics Inspection Brigade, who has sold me several paintings, but I didn't know he was a tomb robber. I have studied the relevant laws and regulations, and even if you buy tomb robberies without knowing it, it is not a crime to do so. ”

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door outside.

"The first seller came. Huang Jianxiang told Tang Xin and the others in a low voice, walked to the door and opened the door, and a man holding a long wooden box followed him in.

After introducing each other, Huang Jianxiang couldn't wait to say to the visitors: "Mr. Qiu, let's take a look at your collection first!"

Mr. Qiu carefully opened the wooden box, took out the painting hidden inside, and handed it to Huang Jianxiang.

Huang Jianxiang opened the scroll and invited Tang Xin, Huang Jianli and Chen Yunhan to enjoy it together.

This is a painting on silk, about 50 cm × 130 cm in size, with an attic painted on it, and a lotus pond at the bottom right of the attic. Two men dressed as scribes sat in the attic, sipping tea and talking heartily.

In the blank space at the bottom left of the painting, there is a poem inscribed: "After the Qinghe Festival, the green branches are thick, and the lonely yellow plum rain is harvested." Afraid of the sun is long condensing Bihan, and the wind is slightly to the Danlou. The pond lotus is covered and leans on each other, and the grass is softer. Eternal day shakes to avoid the complexity, and the cup and plate want to clear the stream. ”

The font of this poem is exactly what Song Huizong is best at, and it is also the most characteristic "thin gold body".

In the blank space on the right side of the painting, there is a vertical row of inscriptions: "Xuanhe Palace's Imperial System and Book". In the lower left corner is a bright red "Imperial System" seal, on which is the famous "One Man in the World" imperial pen inscription.

After the four of them observed and admired the painting called "Danlou Listening to the Rain" for a while, Huang Jianxiang glanced at Tang Xin secretly, and saw that he pressed his palm on the scroll, with a thoughtful expression on his face, guessing that he had judged the authenticity of the painting, so he said to Mr. Qiu: "Mr. Qiu, the four of us have to go to the study to discuss, please drink tea here and wait, okay?"

Mr. Qiu smiled and said, "Please." ”

Huang Jianxiang took Tang Xin, Huang Jianli and Chen Yunhan into the study, closed the door, and asked, "Mr. Tang, according to your judgment, is this painting real or fake?"

Tang Xin said with a smile: "This is a fake painting with a very high level of imitation, from the Republic of China period. The counterfeiter was actually also a master of Chinese painting, especially good at imitating Song Huizong's landscape figure paintings, thin gold handwriting, and engraving. His imitation of Song Huizong's paintings can achieve the effect of being fake and real. ”

Huang Jianli nodded again and again and said, "Indeed." In the case of the painting that Mr. Qiu brought, if I went to identify it, I would definitely think it was genuine. Especially the inscription above, the thin gold body is no different from the handwriting of Song Huizong. There is also the inscription of the painting of "One Man in the World", which is exactly the same as that on other genuine paintings of Song Huizong. If I were to ask ten experts in painting and calligraphy to look at this painting, I would estimate that nine and a half would think that this painting was the real work of Song Huizong. ”

Huang Jianxiang said with deep sympathy: "Indeed, if you had asked for my opinion just now, I would definitely say that this painting is the original work of Song Huizong." ”

Tang Xin said: "Chairman Huang, although this painting is a fake, the artistic level is very high, and the collection value should be relatively large, I suggest you buy it, but you have to negotiate with him and try to keep the price down." ”

Huang Jianxiang was a little embarrassed and said: "How can I negotiate with him about this? If I say it is a fake, he will definitely not admit it, and he will definitely not sell it to me at the price of a fake." ”

Tang Xin smiled: "I have my own way to persuade him, let's go, let's go out together to negotiate with him." ”

After returning to the living room, Tang Xin said to Mr. Qiu bluntly: "Mr. Qiu, after the four of us observed and discussed, we all agreed that your painting is not the real work of Song Huizong, but a fake imitated by later generations——"

Mr. Qiu's face turned red all of a sudden, and he exclaimed, "How is it possible? This is a family heirloom that our Qiu family has kept secret for hundreds of years, how can it be a fake? Can you look at the painting?"

Tang Xin said quietly: "Mr. Qiu, in fact, you still have several such paintings of Song Huizong in your home, are they all the 'heirlooms' of your Qiu family? Of course, these paintings have indeed been passed down in your family for a period of time. But it's not hundreds, it's decades, right?"

Mr. Qiu looked at him with his mouth open, and his head was a little dazed for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer him.
