But at this time, Sun Hancheng interrupted him and said, "Speak rigorously." What is called a fake, I'm just antique, it's antique handicrafts. ”

Lao Cao almost squirted out a mouthful of wine after hearing this, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, you are still educated, and you can even think of such shameless words, and the antique is antique." ”

He pointed to the things next to him and said: "These are porcelain fragments, from the Tang Dynasty to the Republic of China, although they can't be considered very good, but in your hands this is not a problem." ”

Sun Hancheng picked up one of them, leaving only the Song Dynasty porcelain piece at the bottom of the circle and said, "Not bad." There's really some good stuff. ”

Xu Wen looked at it suspiciously, obviously not understanding what value this piece of broken porcelain with only the bottom of the circle could have. Lao Cao obviously saw Xu Wen's doubts and said: "You may not know how powerful your brother is, even if there is only this circle of soles and no porcelain on it, he can burn a complete porcelain for you." ”

He lowered his voice and said: "The most important way to appreciate porcelain is at the bottom of the circle, as long as your brother Sun wants to, the things that are burned are enough to be fake, plus the bottom of the circle, it is almost true." ”

Xu Wen's eyes widened in disbelief, looking at Sun Hancheng, she couldn't imagine that her brother was so powerful.

She asked, "So what's the use of those papers?"

Lao Cao still explained very patiently: "You don't know your brother yet, his level of calligraphy and painting is very high, as long as he wants to, he can copy an ancient painting at will, and even make a painting according to the painting style of ancient painters, but others still can't see it." ”

He took out a piece of rice paper and put it in front of Xu Wen, and said: "You see this is a piece of paper from the Ming Dynasty, in addition to appreciating the style of calligraphy and painting, the most important way to identify this ancient calligraphy and painting is to identify whether the paper is in the era." ”

Speaking of this, he laughed and said, "You want to." With a good painter, adding real ancient rice paper, then who would dare to say that this thing is fake. ”

Xu Wen stared at Sun Hancheng with wide eyes again, shocked in her heart, it seems that she really doesn't know enough about this brother.

Lao Cao's box is like a kaleidoscope, there is nothing in it, Xu Wen sometimes looks curious and asks aloud, Lao Cao, who was originally very arrogant, suddenly has the patience to introduce them carefully one by one, and Xu Wen listens carefully.

In the end, Lao Cao repacked the two boxes of things, and the three of them sat down on the table again, and Lao Cao asked, "Do you have an idea, what should I do?"

Sun Hancheng thought for a moment but said without expressing an opinion: "You say." ”

Lao Cao obviously had an idea a long time ago, and said at this time: "Let's play big this time, don't make a small fight with the past, don't do millions of things, save trouble." ”

Sun Hancheng suddenly remembered Lao Chen's words, and said to Lao Cao: "By the way, Lao Chen gave me news, do you know that behind the scenes of this human settlement is the Nanling Zhou family?"

Cao Mengde was slightly stunned after hearing this, and asked, "Is that the Zhou family, which has ever been the richest man in the family?"

Sun Hancheng nodded with a smile and said, "What, are you scared?"

Cao Mengde also laughed after hearing this, and said happily: "I'm afraid of a ghost, I'm happy, I've been the richest man in the country, how can there be a 18 billion in the family, let's get him a few hundred million." ”

"Hundreds of millions?" Sun Hancheng almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Why, no, I have a piece of paper from the Tang Dynasty, you make me a copy of "Orchid Pavilion Preface" and sell it for hundreds of millions. ”

"Fuck off, do you think I'm an immortal, just do what I say, besides, if there is really "Orchid Pavilion Preface", do you think it's really as simple as hundreds of millions?"

He said to Xu Wen on the side in an educational tone: "We have so many principles for doing high antiquity, first of all, we must not do things that are very famous in the world, and the things we do are valuable but they must be small, so that the world will study less, and it will be enough to confuse the real with the false." ”

Lao Cao interrupted him and said, "Okay." Say what you want, what do you need me to do?"

Sun Hancheng smiled and said, "You just run errands for me." ”

Back in the classroom dormitory building at night, Xu Wen went to bed early, Cao Mengde drank a lot of wine and couldn't help but go to sleep, but how could Sun Hancheng go to sleep so easily, he couldn't sleep when others were asleep.

When Xu Wen walked out of her room early the next morning, it was more than seven o'clock in the morning, the sun had risen in the east, and countless lights were sprinkled in the room.

After boiling the porridge and walking back to the hall, I noticed that there was something more on the dining room table.

The first thing that catches your eye is a row of inkstones, all kinds of colors, some are as black as graphite, some are as white as white jade, and some are red with some gold threads.

She didn't know why she had put so many inkstones here, and some of them still had obvious traces of use, as if they had just been used for a long time.

There were also countless brushes of different sizes, large and small, and even something on the table that she hadn't even seen before.

At this time, the door of the other room opened, and Cao Mengde, who was wearing big pants, stretched out lazily.

"Brother Cao, you're awake. ”

Xu Wen's voice was a little loud, and Cao Mengde immediately made a boo gesture to him and said, "Your brother just slept." Frightened, Xu Wen hurriedly closed her mouth.

Cao Mengde closed the door of the room behind him, finally regained his expression, and walked to the table in the hall.

Xu Wen asked with some curiosity: "Brother Cao, what do you think is the situation, why are there so many strange things." ”

Cao Mengde glanced at it and said: "It's not strange at all, in order to imitate the painter's situation at that time when painting, your brother always strives for perfection, and will use the same paper as the painter, the same inkstone, similar pen, and as consistent ink as possible, so that the painting is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake." ”

Xu Wen was confused when she heard this, and Cao Mengde continued to explain: "Look at the inkstones on this table, there are Duan inkstones from Guangdong, She inkstones from Anhui, Tao inkstones from Gansu, Chengni inkstones from Shanxi, as well as Lu inkstones, Liao inkstones, etc., all to imitate the situation of the painter at that time. ”

Xu Wen opened her mouth wide in surprise, she couldn't imagine that this inkstone was so exquisite.

"So what are so many pens for, are they beautiful?"

Cao Mengde laughed after hearing this: "Of course this is not good-looking. Needless to say, the size of the brush, for painting and writing, there are also some special-purpose brushes, because all the hairs of the pen are different, the soft and hard water absorption and so on are naturally different, and the things drawn are naturally different. ”

Xu Wen heard it and said, "This is too exquisite." ”

Cao Mengde said with some emotion: "This is also the reason why your brother's paintings are enough to be real, do you know why your brother said that he would never make a fake again?"

"Why?" Xu Wen's eyes widened, obviously very curious about this question.

Cao sat on a chair next to him and talked about Sun Hancheng's past.

It turned out that Sun Hancheng, Cao Mengde, and Lao Chen were bullied by the local antique dealer when they were selling antiques, and the three wanted to wait for an opportunity to retaliate, so they asked Sun Hancheng to paint a painting to sell to that person, and then found an opportunity to expose the painting as a fake painting, first to make money and then to make that person affected.

That time, Sun Hancheng painted very carefully and carefully, and that painting attracted a lot of attention very easily, and then it was successfully bought by that person, making them a lot of money, but when they went to expose the fake painting, there was an accident.

Because the painting has been certified as genuine by several famous masters in China, and there are videos and appraisal certificates to prove it, when they debunked that the painting was a fake, no one believed it.

The painting was displayed in a glass case in a shop, which really left them speechless, and even the painting fetched a high price at auction, and since then a fake has become the real thing.

That is, this incident made Sun Hancheng decide not to be a fake in the future, and sometimes occasionally he would deliberately leave a very big flaw in a thing and be deliberately discovered and questioned.

Even if he was sometimes forced to do something real, he would leave his mark in a place that only he knew, so that it wouldn't happen again.

Xu Wen was simply dumbfounded when she heard this, she couldn't imagine that there was such a thing, she was really amazed.

Lao Cao searched in the room for a while, and finally found a landscape painting on the balcony with his clothes and ink dry. Xu Wen also joined in the fun, but she saw that it was a freehand landscape painting, and the painting was really beautiful, but how it was, she didn't dare to say anything and could only look at Cao Mengde.

Cao Mengde knew the meaning of the little girl, pointed to the words on it and explained: "This is a landscape painting of Li Keran copied by your brother, and the whole painting uses a lot of ink accumulation method, which is the characteristic of Li Keran's painting, and it is very difficult for future generations to imitate, but I didn't expect the painting to be so good." ”

Xu Wen was a little surprised and said, "This is done?"

Lao Cao shook his head and said; "Of course it can't be so simple, at least it hasn't been stamped yet, and it is estimated that the seal will not be made until the kid wakes up." ”

Xu Wen was shocked again: "The seal has to be engraved by yourself?"

"Of course. Otherwise, I will go to Li Keran's descendants to borrow it. After finishing speaking, Cao Mengde seemed to think of something again, and said with a smile: "I'll make you a bet, as long as you look carefully, you will definitely find a lot of paintings that look similar to this painting at home." ”

Xu Wen was a little unconvinced, and then began to rummage, and finally found eight pictures similar to Li Keran's landscape paintings behind the sofa, each with a slight difference, which is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish.

Lao Cao smiled and said, "It looks like I won." ”
