The brother's performance was the same as what Meng Zitao had thought before, only to see the boss laugh and say, "I admit that there is indeed a problem with the characters here, but there are also historical reasons. You should also know that in the old days such things were to be confiscated and destroyed in public. ”

"However, my father was a storekeeper in the village at the time, and after the things were taken away, he quietly took them home at night and escaped. However, in that environment, even if you took things home, you had to hide them well. ”

"When the limelight passed, my father took things out, only to find out that there was a problem with the painting, a few years ago when he had money, he went to find someone to fix it, we don't know who he was looking for, and when he got it back, it was like this. No, it's just a minor issue, at least not elsewhere. ”

Wei Xingyun didn't find the problem of payment just now, which would be very embarrassing, and after listening to what the boss said, he said unhappily: "Since there is such a thing, then you don't say it sooner or later, until it is pointed out by the shopkeeper Meng!"

The third child opened his mouth and said: "Isn't this quite normal? Who doesn't want to make more money, besides, you can't see it, it's also a problem with your eyesight, does it have anything to do with us?"

Seeing that what he said was so natural, everyone was speechless, and what he said was indeed human nature, many people thought so in their hearts, but thinking about it, it was really shameless to be able to say it so reasonably.

After half a ring, Meng Zitao sneered, pointed to the scroll and said, "Then I'm going to ask, where did the insect bite marks on the painting paper come from?"

Different from the calligraphy and paintings collected in national museums, libraries, and archives, they are managed by special personnel, and the storage conditions are relatively good. Many ordinary families do not have such conditions, so the collection of calligraphy and paintings often has mildew or insect moth.

Because this phenomenon is very common, some people think that there must be ancient paintings that have been bitten by insects, but in fact it is too one-sided.

But it is precisely this psychology that the counterfeiters have grasped, and as a result, some off-the-picture worn-out techniques have emerged. Counterfeiters often put the finished pictures in rice jars or noodle bags with worms, and deliberately let the insects leave traces of moths on them to increase credibility.

When the boss saw Meng Zitao say this, he was a little surprised, and said, "Is there anything wrong with this moth-eaten place?"

The second child took over and said: "I said that you are blind or what, this hole is obviously bitten by insects, you don't think it was made, right?"

The third yin and yang said strangely: "I think someone is blind, let's go back to my mother's womb and practice before coming out!"

"Speak well, or don't blame me for being unkind!"

At this moment, how could Meng Zitao not know what the other party wanted to do, and how could he not be angry in his heart? However, he was not stupid, and in the face of the other party's provocation and shamelessness, he still chose to forbear. But he is a young man after all, and now that the other party is saying such ugly words, he wants to explode.

So, Meng Zitao glanced at the third child coldly, and his sharp gaze made the third child feel cold in his heart, and he couldn't help but shiver.

After knowing Meng Zitao for so long, Wang Zhixuan already knew a little about Meng Zitao's character, seeing this situation, Wang Zhixuan knew that Meng Zitao was really angry, but after all, this was Meng Zitao's shop, and there was a conflict, which was somewhat unfavorable to Meng Zitao.

So, Wang Zhixuan hurriedly started a round and persuaded a few words.

Meng Zitao also knew that Wang Zhixuan was for his good, and he also knew what Wang Zhixuan thought, so he suppressed the anger in his heart.

But obviously, the third child didn't buy it, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "I'm here to see how you're welcome!"

Wang Zhixuan's face turned cold, and he said: "I remember that there is a crime in the law, which is called the crime of picking quarrels and provoking trouble. ”

When the boss heard this, he hurriedly said: "Everyone, dissipate your anger, as the old saying goes, business is not benevolent, don't make such a fuss." ”

The third child shouted: "Big brother, this matter is not something I am deliberately looking for, it has to do with the place where this kid bites the worm, and I insist on saying no, isn't this obviously talking nonsense with my eyes open?"

"You're right, the places on the paper are indeed insect bites. ”

Wang Zhixuan made a gesture to Meng Zitao and said, "The key is that the real insect marks on the picture scroll have a certain inertia. If you think about it, we collect paintings, which are generally rolled up and put away, so the holes bitten by insects are all different, some are round, some are diamond-shaped, and some are long. ”

"There are even several bites of the same hole with a single bug, in this case, after opening the scroll, the hole looks like a small caterpillar, which is the characteristic of the real thing. ”

"But the traces on your painting are like small dots, not the same as the traces on the real ancient paintings, on the contrary, I think it is the traces of insect bites made in the rice jar. Could it be that you are hiding this painting in a rice jar?"

The second child spread his hands and said: "This painting used to be stored by my father, and it was not until he died that he took it out and handed it to us. ”

Everyone had been prepared for the shamelessness of these brothers, so it was not surprising to see him say this, and only by pointing out the errors in the content of the painting could the brothers shut up.

And this point is Meng Zitao's weakness, which is why he felt just now that he was not 100% sure of how to deal with this matter.

But now that Wang Zhixuan is here, it is different, and Wang Zhixuan did not disappoint Meng Zitao, he glanced at the brothers with some disgust, and said: "In this case, let's talk about the content of this painting." This is a painting created by the boneless method......"

As a kind of flower and bird painting method in China, the boneless method has a relatively long time to exist. The founder was Zhang Seng Miao of the Five Dynasties, and the form at that time was mostly landscape painting, mainly using green and heavy color to express through the rendering of light and dark levels.

In China's Tang Dynasty to the Northern Dynasties period of Mo Gao Grottoes found traces of boneless painting, which is mainly rendered directly by color. According to relevant historical data, boneless flower and bird painting mainly began in the Northern Song Dynasty, and its specific figure was Xu Chongsi.

Yun Shouping's boneless flower and bird paintings are based on Xu Chongsi's theory, and developed here to create a more novel form......

Wang Zhixuan first briefly introduced the origin of the boneless method, and then said: "Yun Shouping's boneless flower and bird paintings are characterized by freshness and elegance as the main feature, and his paintings have a feeling of fresh breeze, and the simple beauty of the painting style is breathtaking. ”

"Generally speaking, Yun Shouping's works pay attention to the plain characteristics of the scene, and although his color depiction is gorgeous, it does not look kitsch, and it is very fresh and clean...... After talking about the characteristics of Yun Shouping's boneless method, as well as his brushing style, let's take a look at this painting again......"

Wang Zhixuan talked eloquently, comparing the painting on the table with Yun Shouping's style, and pointed out the shortcomings of the painting.

Wang Zhixuan finally said: "To sum up, this should be an imitation, of course, although it is an imitation, but the level is also very high, it is a good painting." It's just that the above traces of artificiality affect the value of the work, which is quite a pity. ”

Meng Zitao secretly said "teachable", and said to the brothers with a smile: "Everyone, I don't know if you have any other 'reasons' to say?"

Originally, everyone thought that no matter how thick-skinned the brothers were, they should not be able to find a reason to get to this point.

However, the second child said eloquently: "It's just a family's words, who knows if it's right?"

Wang Zhixuan laughed: "What a family statement, since this brother said so, then I will take you to see the original." If you still think that this painting is real, how about I introduce you to a few experts from the Forbidden City and ask them to explain it to you?"

When the brothers heard Wang Zhixuan's words, they were stunned, as if they had seen a ghost.

Seeing this situation, Meng Zitao almost laughed out loud, he also didn't expect that it was such a coincidence, Wang Zhixuan had seen the real thing, and it was really a realistic version of Li Ghost who met Li Kui, and now he wants to see what else the brothers have to say?

Seeing Meng Zitao looking at him with a smile, the third child said with some annoyance: "What do you see, what about the expert, when the expert did not admit his mistake?

"At least other people's paintings won't be put in a rice jar, and people won't be able to deal with the payment. ”

Meng Zitao sneered, and then said: "Okay, the matter is explained clearly, do you guys have anything else?"

In fact, according to his thoughts, he wants to beat up the brothers, but doing so will only make him unlucky, and they are just clowns who are pushed out by the people behind the scenes, even if they are caught, there is no solution.

However, as the old saying goes, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and if he finds an opportunity in the future, he will definitely get it back a thousand times over!

It's all come to this point, and it's boring for the brothers to stay here. However, even so, their faces still did not change, their hearts did not beat, and their faces were thick like this, and it was the first time that Meng Zitao encountered them, and such an attitude also made him very angry.

After putting away the painting, the eldest took the two brothers to the door, and before leaving, the third child snorted coldly at Meng Zitao. However, just as the three of them walked to the door, they saw Zhao Linwei walking in from outside the door.

Zhao Linwei frowned and looked at the three of them, and said, "Why are you three here, you can't be here to find trouble, right?"

Seeing Zhao Linwei, the brothers were like mice seeing cats, and the boss nodded and said, "Officer Zhao, you misunderstood, we just have something to take a look at." ”

"Really?" Zhao Linwei looked at the three brothers suspiciously, and then looked at Meng Zitao with inquiring eyes.
