Chapter 172, Evil Does Not Prevail Over Justice!
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.
With the auction of two "Plum Wife and Crane" bottles, Jiang Lai's reputation was also widely known.
At the first auction, Jiang Lai and Sun Dayan overturned the case for the "Plum Wife and Crane" bottle with their own efforts, not only pointing out that Sun Dayan's identification was wrong, but even pointing out that this "Plum Wife and Crane" blue and white vase was made by Lin Kui and Hongyanzhi, far exceeding the previous cultural and market value. For a while, the antique and archaeological circles were sensational, and countless people discussed and discussed it, and Jianglai's old bottom was also dug up.
"The son of the ghost hand Jiang Xingzhou, the icing on the cake"
"A master of restoration and appraisal in the world of antiques"
"The iron mouth is straight off, and every word is gold"
-------
Now, the legendary man was standing right in front of them.
Some of the people present had participated in Shangmei's auction and witnessed the battle between Jiang Lai and Sun Tayan, and when they saw the main owner appear, their hearts retreated.
If this person is on Lin Chuyi's side, the real antiques will be identified as real, and the fake ones can also be said to be real....... Where do they still have any hope of winning?
The reason why they ran to the Chaumet building with their belongings to demand compensation was because they "suspected" that what they had auctioned at a high price before was fake. If these things are not fake, then this reason is not valid. How else is their plan implemented?
Those who had only heard his name and had never seen him were a little disappreciative of Jiang Lai.
Because Jiang Lai is too young, and his appearance is too handsome.
Such a young guy has been doing prenatal education since his mother's womb, and he has been fed ink since birth, and how much can he learn the ability of "knowing the dynasty and breaking the dynasty" handed down by his ancestors?
Moreover, men who are so good-looking are generally "empty with a good skin, but they are reckless in their abdomen". Isn't it good for you to make your debut acting or be a model? What are you doing in this pool? This industry can swallow people in one bite.
Wu Yeyou is one of the people who despise Jiang Lai, he looked Jiang Lai up and down very lightly, and said: "Yo, where did this little white face come from? What's the matter?
Hearing what Wu Yeyou said was interesting, many people present laughed out loud.
Authority is powerful because no one breaks it.
If someone is willing to stand up and challenge authority, everyone will still be happy to see a good show.
Lin Chuyi was extremely angry, and when he was about to speak for Jiang Lai to fight back against the other party, he didn't expect the idiot standing next to her to nod and say, "Yes." ”
The audience was amazed!
When someone humiliates him, how does he answer "yes"?
I have appreciated Master Jiang's demeanor several times, and I have never seen him speak so well.
Even Lin Chuyi was dumbfounded, and forcibly swallowed back the words he was about to blurt out, his face was purple, his eyes were round, and he looked at Jiang Lai with a curious baby.
Wu Yeyou was even more horrified, what kind of routine is this?
I scolded you, and it was only right for you to scold back. I scolded you, how can you nod and say that I was right?
"You...... What do you mean?" Wu Yeyou was ready to figure out the situation first.
"You asked me if I was going to stand up for my little lover, and I said yes. Jiang Lai said with a serious face. I am also a little angry at the stupidity of these people, and I have already given you a clear answer to the question you asked yourself. What are you asking repeatedly? Can't we just get straight to the point?
Wow!
This time, Jiang Lai's words caused an even bigger sensation.
The onlookers rushed over as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and slapped Jiang Lai and Lin Chuyi with a click.
"Mr. Jiang Lai, are you and Miss Lin Chuyi already a couple?"
"Mr. Jiang, what you said just now was to admit that you and Miss Lin Chuyi were already in a state of love, right? When did you start? Are you pregnant out of wedlock? When are you going to have a baby?"
"Miss Lin Chuyi, what do you think of what Mr. Jiang Lai said just now?
-------
Sure enough, there's nothing more eye-catching than gossip. If there is, it must be gossip between celebrities.
Jiang Lai and Lin Chuyi are both celebrities in the industry, and there are scandals between the two of them...... No, it can't be called a "scandal" anymore, it's news.
Jiang Lai said in front of everyone that he wanted to stand up for his little lover, what does this mean? It shows that Jiang Lai took the initiative to find out the relationship between him and Lin Chuyi.
When such a thing broke out, the article was properly 100,000+.
What can Lin Chuyi think?
Lin Chu looked at Jiang Lai stupidly, with a shy smile on his face, but his eyes gradually moistened, and then he couldn't cry.
At such a moment, when she was at her most difficult and embarrassed, when she was alone in ambush on all sides, the enemy of the world.......
When she was betrayed by her friends, constrained by the company's veterans, accused of distrust by her own brother, smeared by the media, attacked by those who knew or didn't know in front of her, and was overwhelmingly abused by ignorant netizens, this man chose to stand up.
He stood by his side resolutely and without hesitation.
Can she carry it? She thinks she can carry it.
Can she fight? She thinks she can still fight.
Can she still fight? She felt that she could hold out until the last second until the dawn of victory.
But is she tired?
Physically and mentally exhausted!
At such an inopportune moment, Jiang Lai answered "yes" with an understatement, and chose to stand in front of him, he carried it with himself, he fought with him, he fought with him, he unloaded his full burden, and accompanied himself to meet the rising sun of victory.
Jiang Lai didn't know what his words meant to him, and what kind of lethality he had to himself. Even before hearing it, Lin Chuyi himself couldn't imagine it.
However, he just nodded so firmly and said "yes". His own defense collapsed in an instant, and tears burst in an instant.
Until this moment, Lin Chuyi knew that he needed someone to stand by his side, and he needed someone to reach out to give her strength and warmth.
Jiang Lai is that person!
Jiang Lai didn't know that he was that person, his eyes were shaken by the flash, and he said angrily: "Can you turn off the flash when you take pictures?"
If you sparkle your eyes, you are not afraid, and it is a big sin to take ugly photos.
Wu Yeyou was first shocked by Jiang Lai's unreasonable cards, and then he was delighted by Jiang Lai's public revelation of his affair with Lin Chuyi. This guy is really an idiot, he looks dignified, and his stomach is full of hay.
If he told his relationship with Lin Chuyi in public like this, didn't he have lost his fair and just position? At this time, no matter how credible and famous he was, his appraisal results would not be credible, right?
Wu Yeyou pointed at Jiang Lai and said, "Little white face, I ........"
Syllable!
Lin Chuyi slapped Wu Yeyou in the face one by one.
"Don't scold him for being a little white face. Lin Chu's eyes were like knives, and he scolded sharply.
Jiang Lai stood up for her, this guy opened his mouth and closed his mouth to be a "little white face", Lin Chu felt that it was really harsh and ugly when he heard it. Restorers and appraisers like Jiang Lai, who are really talented and have the demeanor of a national handicraft, are they "little white faces", are you guys not even as good as shit?
"How do you hit someone?" Wu Yeyou screamed in shock.
He was holding the box with both hands, and when Lin Chuyi slapped him one by one, he was powerless to stop it at all, and he was firmly pumped by this slap, and his face was in hot pain. Not even a stroke to alleviate the pain can be done.
"Because your mouth is so dirty. Lin Chuyi said out loud. "If you dare to scold the 'little white face' again, I will slap you. ”
Jiang Lai turned to look at Lin Chuyi and whispered, "Don't be angry, he didn't scold me." ”
"He said you were a little white face......"
"My face is white. Jiang said. He asked a little worriedly, "Do you think my face is not white?"
“...... White. Lin Chuyi gritted his teeth and said. She wanted to find a knife to stab herself to death.
Jiang Lai noticed the tears on Lin Chu's face, and comforted him: "What are you crying about? Don't be afraid, it's just a bunch of waste." ”
"I know. ”
"You call us rubbish. Wu Yeyou heard the conversation between Jiang Lai and Lin Chuyi, and shouted loudly: "Colleagues, brothers, this pair of traitors ....... Call us rubbish?"
"yes, I did. Because you are. Jiang Lai said loudly.
Jiang Lai's words can be regarded as stabbing the hornet's nest, and everyone present immediately became indignant and united as one.
"Boy, how did you speak, apologize to us immediately......"
"What's the use of apologizing, bro, let's go up and tear up his foul mouth......."
"Who's the waste, he's the waste......."
-------
Jiang Lai's body was in front of Lin Chuyi, proud and fearless, looking at the guys in front of him who were shouting with disdain, and said, "I said that you are waste, and you are afraid that you are not even as good as waste." ”
"Do you know what waste is? It's waste matter. Drink cans, broken lamps, broken marble wall tiles, worn shoes....... These things are waste, and their fate awaits them is to be sorted and sent to various garbage dumps. Some of them are pulled out for burial, and some of them can be recycled and reprocessed to serve humanity again. ”
"But, regardless of their fate, they will only suffer in silence and will never do anything to hurt others. What about you, do you deserve to be compared to them?"
Jiang Lai's gaze swept over the large and small boxes they were holding in their arms, and said: "At that time, you yourself voluntarily raised a sign to take pictures of them, and whoever robbed you was not happy, and you couldn't say in your heart that you would curse your opponent a thousand times eight hundred times." Well, a few years have passed, baby, you are tired of playing, and if you don't like it, you will shout that it is fake and want to return it. The antique entertainment market has cooled down, and now the value is not as good as the starting value, and you are not happy anymore, fake, to return. It's bumped, it's broken, it's not happy, it's fake, it's going to be returned. ”
"I want to ask you, why? Just because you don't like it? So the whole world has to pay for you? If that's the case, if your mother doesn't like you now, will she still be able to stuff you back in her stomach?"
Lin Chuyi pulled Jiang Lai's sleeve and reminded in a low voice: "There are reporters here, don't swear." ”
Jiang Lai nodded, decided to repeat what he had just said, and said, "If that's the case, if your father doesn't like you now, can he still throw you in the trash?"
“.......”
Lin Chu was speechless, and wanted to hit the wall with his head.
"They can even fake the bottle of "Plum Wife and Crane", what else can't be done?" Wu Yeyou shouted loudly, saying: "If Lin Yu hadn't done such a thing that people were angry with, how could we have come to return the previous lots? It is because they themselves are not ethical and break the rules of business." That's why we lose trust in them........"
"That is, Lin Yudu committed suicide in fear of sin, which proves that he has done a lot of bad things....... We have asked experts to verify that what we have in our hands is indeed fake......."
"You are Sun Wukong beating Zhu Bajie, and he is beaten upside down. I don't have the shame to do the ugly thing, and I want to blame others for watching the fun?"
........
"Whether it's fake or not, you can see it at a glance. Jiang Lai said loudly: "If you really take it away, if you leave it, Shangmei will compensate for it." How?"
"Who has the final say on the real or fake?" Wu Yeyou asked.
Jiang Lai raised his head slightly, and asked arrogantly, "Is there anyone on the scene who is more authoritative than me?"
"That won't work. Wu Yeyou refused, he pointed at Lin Chuyi and said: "She is your little lover, you naturally speak to her." ”
"Childish. Jiang Lai looked disdainful and said: "Shi Daochen said that there are 10,000 ways to please women, don't choose to damage your character." ”
"No, it doesn't. This is not possible. We don't believe you. Wu Yeyou said loudly: "We want to find an appraisal expert that we can trust." Anyway, it can't be you. I am a bookmaker and I want to be a referee, but there is no such thing. ”
"Most referees in soccer are decided by the bookmaker. ”
“.......”
Jiang Lai didn't want to talk nonsense with Wu Yeyou, and it was useless to talk more. He had already seen that Wu Yeyou was the leader of this group of troublemakers. He came with a "conspiracy" in order to destroy Shangmei's reputation, or to achieve his own bad intentions of returning the goods, and to put pressure on Lin Chuyi, who had just taken charge of the overall situation......
What he wants to win over are the people who have been instigated to take advantage of the water or who have been fooled into saying that the thing in your hand is fake.
So, Jiang Lai said loudly: "All those who have been appraised by me will be issued with appraisal certificates." ”
Jiang glanced at Lin Chuyi and said, "Prepare tables, chairs, and pen and ink." ”
Lin Chu nodded and glanced at Xiaohe, who immediately trotted to make arrangements.
"Master Jiang, can you really issue an appraisal certificate?" The old man who was being supported and looked old looked at Jiang Lai with a smile on his face and asked out loud.
"Of course. Jiang Lai's iron-clad appearance said: "My person is here, and my name is here." It can't be fake, and it can't be fake. Those little people with ulterior motives want to point out the deer as a horse and a fish...... With me standing here, this kind of thing can't happen. ”
Soon, the secretary Xiaohe came over with a group of office staff carrying tables and chairs and holding pen and ink. She used to be the secretary of the general manager, and now she is the secretary of the chairman, and she is really handy to deal with such a small matter.
Jiang sat down on the chair and shouted, "The appraisal begins." ”
The old man stepped forward step by step, motioned to the young man next to him to hand over a calligraphy and painting in his arms, and said, "Bitter gourd monk's "Bamboo and Stone Map", please ask Jiang Lai Xiaoyou to help identify one or two. ”
Lin Chuyi was secretly happy in his heart.
The old man who stood up, whose original name was Zhang Yi, was a university professor in Yangzhou, and his hobby was collecting. And I like to collect the works of Yangzhou painters.
I don't know if it's because of his status as a university professor or because of his age, media reporters have always liked to catch him for interviews. And then the headlines of the report are all the same
"Septuagenarian professor buys fakes, and insists on defending his rights with limited mobility"
"A professor's hard-earned money.......
"He taught all his life, but he was cheated out of the money he had earned all his life......
-------
Professors, teachers, the elderly, people with reduced mobility......
As soon as such words come out, the scales in people's hearts will naturally be biased in favor of the old professor. During this time, Shang Mei and Lin Chuyi were scolded by netizens to the core, and the messages on Weibo were simply unsightly. This also led to Lin Chuyi's extreme psychological pressure, with serious sleep problems, and he was half-asleep and half-awake every day.
She didn't expect that Jiang Lai would be able to gain the trust and support of this old professor. There is also such a great popularity and reputation among high-level intellectuals?
Now that the old man Zhang Yi can take the initiative to stand up, it proves that there is a chance for reconciliation.
Jiang Lai unfolded the calligraphy and painting, carefully studied it for a while, and then reached out and gently stroked the material of the painting, observing his inscription.
"Authentic. Jiang Lai said loudly. As he spoke, he dipped his pen in ink and wrote the appraisal conclusion on the white rice paper.
"Is it really a genuine handiwork?" the old gentleman was excited and said: "I am from Yangzhou, and I like the calligraphy and painting of the bitter gourd monk the most." A few days ago, I met an old friend, and I showed him my collection, and after he took a look, he sighed again and again, and was silent for a long time. My heart sank suddenly, thinking that something bad was wrong, could it be that I bought a fake? So when I asked, my old friend said that it was "made in Yangzhou". Therefore, I didn't care about breaking this old bone, so I quickly asked my grandson to take me to Bihai, in order to get justice for this painting. How can such a big auction house sell fakes?"
Jiang Lai's pen has already written the appraisal results of nearly 100 words. The font is elegant, and the ink is overflowing. At first sight, I knew that he had extraordinary attainments in the line of writing. After hearing the old man's words, Jiang Lai put down the brush, looked at the old man and asked, "Old man, how does this painting feel at first glance?"
"The first time I saw it?" the old man thought for a moment and said, "I liked it very much at the first glance." Mr. Bitter Gourd paints bamboo and stone are extremely expressive, bamboo has spirit, stone has muscles and bones, ink rhyme is moist, and the brushstrokes are refined. It is a rare boutique. It is precisely for this reason that I have repeatedly called out the price and taken it down at an extremely high price. Regard it as a treasure and figure it out every day. ”
"So, you've been watching him for so long, and you still like him in your heart, right?"
"Yes, yes. The old man nodded again and again, smiled and said, "Master Jiang is really a person who understands painting, and the more I look at this painting, the more I like it." ”
"Visual appraisal is the basic skill of appraising calligraphy and painting, as long as people who like calligraphy and painting and study calligraphy and painting have different levels of skills. The first glance is the most sensitive and the most profound perception. Looking at a painting is like looking at a person, and the feeling at first sight is very important. The first time you see someone and you like it, then it's hard to hate it anymore and don't want to hear people say that they are not. When your friends said that this painting was "made in Yangzhou", did you feel uncomfortable?"
"Yes, my grandfather was so angry that he dropped the bowl and smashed the plate, and he couldn't eat for several days. The young man next to him answered, and he had a very good impression of Jiang Lai. How bad can a young man who looks clean have a bad mind?
Jiang Lai nodded to the young man and said, "If you hate a person at first sight, it will be difficult to change this impression in the future. Even if the other party tries their best, there will still be such and such mustard in your heart....... Indeed, Yangzhou has been a place where calligraphers and painters have been concentrated since the Ming and Qing dynasties, and many well-known people, such as Mr. Bitter Melon and Eight Monsters, have been selling paintings here for a long time. Therefore, there are also some forgeries that imitate them. ”
Mr. Kugua is Shi Tao, a very important figure in the history of Chinese painting, who is not only an explorer, innovator of painting practice, but also an art theorist.
After being changed at an early age, he became a monk, stationed in Guangjiao Temple, Jingting Mountain, Xuancheng, Anhui Province, and traveled in the second half of his life, selling paintings as a business. In the early years, the landscape master of the Song and Yuan dynasties, the style of painting was sparse and clear, and in his later years, he used the pen to indulge, the ink method was dripping, the grid method was changeable, and the album sketches were especially fine. The flowers are chic and bright, innocent and refreshing. The characters are clumsy and quaint, and they are unique. Gong calligraphy, can poetry.
"Old gentleman, please see, this "Bamboo and Stone Picture" has a center of gravity and a proud bone, how can those "leather knifemen" imitate it? And this inscription, is it exactly the same as his other surviving works, "Searching for Strange Peaks and Sketches" and "Landscape and Clear Sounds"? If someone can achieve this level of fakes, then this person has already entered the house, I think the Eight Monsters of Yangzhou can be renamed "Yangzhou Nine Monsters", what does the old gentleman think?"
The old gentleman laughed heartily and said, "I see. I see. My old friend misunderstood me. ”
He bowed deeply to Jiang Lai and said, "Thank you Jiang Lai for being an example for me and untying my knots, Zhang Yi is grateful." ”
Seeing that Zhang Yi really asked Jiang Lai to do the appraisal, and was grateful to him, and wiped his tears, Wu Yeyou stepped forward to dissuade him and said: "Elder Zhang, you can't listen to this Jiang Lai's words, he is in the same group as Shangmei Group." Can you believe what he says?"
"You can't believe what he says, but you can believe what you say? Back then, the villains refused to move their hearts with guns and fingers to change their minds, and although Jiang Lai Xiaoyou was young, he had the style of an ancient gentleman. You villain...... If you get a little money, you can sell your own sons and sons. Why the hell are you standing here, no one else knows, don't you know yourself?"
"You old guy........" Wu Yeyou was a little angry, why did the team start to mess up from the inside?
Jiang Lai personally handed over the handwritten appraisal to Zhang Yi and said, "Old gentleman, go back quickly." It's cold outside, and the road is steep and dangerous, so pay attention to safety. ”
"I've saved it. The old gentleman took the book with both hands, bowed deeply to Jiang Lai again, and said: "Since ancient times, evil does not prevail over good. I believe in you. ”
After speaking, with the support of his grandson, he turned around and walked towards the door of the hall.
