Although Quan Xiangning lives in an old community, it is not big in terms of house type, but his house is also a jump, which he bought upstairs and changed after the upper and lower floors were opened, so the area is not small. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bringing everyone to the living room, Quan Xiangning invited everyone to sit down, and asked his wife to serve tea to everyone, and then did not go directly to the topic, but chatted with everyone for a while about interesting things in the antique world.

After chatting for a while, Quan Xiangning asked with a smile: "Mr. Meng is from Lingshi, so he must know the shopkeeper Xi, right?"

"Not only do I know each other, but every time I meet, it's that the enemy is very red when they meet. Meng Zitao smiled and nodded, and said a word in his heart.

For Quan Xiangning to know Xi Zhengzhen, Meng Zitao is not much surprised, after all, the antique circle is actually not very big, Xi Zhengzhen, as a figure in the antique industry in Ling City, it is normal for people in the industry in other places to hear about it.

As for whether there must be a problem with his character if he has a good relationship with Xi Zhengzhen, it may not be possible, but this Quan Xiangning has been labeled as "not a good person" in Meng Zitao's heart.

Speaking of which, Meng Zitao hasn't heard Xi Zhengzhen for a long time.

Since learning that Xi Zhengzhen and Jiang Siyuan were in contact, the No. 3 department has investigated and monitored him. However, he didn't get any clues from Xi Zhengzhen, and Xi Zhengzhen was also a little cunning, and there were basically some problematic things, he didn't do it himself.

Aware of the danger, during this time, Xi Zhengzhen basically lived in seclusion, and there was no news of him in the antique world of Lingshi.

Quan Xiangning saw Meng Zitao nodding, and said with a smile: "I have been friends with Shopkeeper Xi for many years, every time he comes back to Yangcheng, he has to come to me to drink tea, and in August, I will go to Xiangjiang with him." ”

"I'm sorry, I'm not familiar with the shopkeeper. Meng Zitao waved his hand, if it wasn't for Quan Xiangning to say it, he really didn't know that Xi Zhengzhen was going to Xiangjiang in August, so he quickly remembered it in his heart.

The reason why Quan Xiangning moved Xi Zhengzhen out, in addition to wanting to get closer to the relationship with Meng Zitao, is mainly to lay a foreshadowing, if Meng Zitao and Xi Zhengzhen have a good relationship, sometimes you have to pay attention to what you say.

In addition, even if he is only in the stage of understanding, Xi Zhengzhen, as one of the big names in the antique world of Ling City, as long as Meng Zitao takes care of it, he can achieve his goal.

And, in terms of the attitude shown by Meng Zitao, he didn't care about Xi Zhengzhen, which was a bit unexpected by Quan Xiangning, and said in his heart: "Is there any contradiction between this kid and Xi Zhengzhen?"

If Quan Xiangning knew that there was more than a contradiction between Meng Zitao and Xi Zhengzhen, he would probably regret moving to Zhengzhen just now.

Because of these words, the atmosphere was a little delicate, and Quan Xiangning had no interest in chatting, so he invited everyone to his study.

In addition to the antique collection of books, Quan Xiangning's study also hangs a number of famous works, which also looks quite charming.

After Meng Zitao entered the study, he directly activated the ability, the calligraphy and painting works here are basically valuable, but some of the values reflected are just imitations, including a painting that Quan Xiangning is holding now. It's just that it may be because the level of imitators is relatively high, and the value is quite high.

Quan Xiangning opened the scroll and asked everyone to take a look.

Although this time it was mainly based on Meng Zitao's identification, in order not to make Quan Xiangning suspicious, when Ge Qingyun introduced Meng Zitao, he only said that Meng Zitao was an antique lover, and the two had already talked in advance, and let Ge Qingyun look at it first when appreciating.

As usual, after more than twenty minutes, Ge Qingyun walked out of his desk, his face full of admiration, and it seemed that he felt that there was nothing wrong with this painting.

Next, Meng Zitao put on snow-white gloves and stepped forward to admire.

This is a "Shanzhai Reading Map", the size is about 5 square feet, and the lower right corner is stamped as "Gao Shenglao", which is the seal of Gao Xiang, one of the "Eight Monsters of Yangzhou".

Compared with Zheng Banqiao and Jin Nong, Gao Xiang's recognition in the minds of ordinary people is not too high, but in fact, the formation of Yangzhou Eight Monsters is inseparable from Shi Tao, and to a certain extent, it is also inseparable from Gao Xiang, and his finger paintings are worthy of a big book in his artistic life.

It is said that Gao Xiang once had a party with friends, and his friends knew that he was a master of Danqing, and asked him to paint, but he found paper and ink but could not find a pen. This picture of flowers and birds is still vivid, vibrant, and particularly clumsy and cute. Since then, Gao Xiang's finger painting has been uncontrollable, and he has inadvertently created a new type of painting, and he has naturally become the originator of this type of painting.

In addition, Gao Xiang also carved seals, and was good at painting flowers and landscapes. The plum brushwork is loose and beautiful, and the technique is lush, and it wins by thinning the branches and thinning the stems. The landscape brushwork is simple and elegant, and it likes to make a small garden scene.

The painting in front of me is written under Qiao Ke Chonggang, between the green bananas and green bamboos, there is a thatched hall where scholars are reading, the sound of the spring outside the window is murmuring, and the mountains are quiet as the days are long. The pen and ink are simple and clear, which is in line with the characteristics of Gao Xiang's brush.

In addition to the drawing skills, such as paper, etc., all of them match the characteristics of the original handiwork.

However, since it is an imitation, flaws can always be found, and because Meng Zitao knew the result, he quickly found several problematic places under the reverse push.

Seeing Meng Zitao quietly walking down from the desk, Quan Xiangning asked the two with a smile: "Mr. Meng, what do you think of my painting?"

"It's a good picture. Meng Zitao nodded, he said this, it was also discussed before, if the painting is genuine, then his words will bring out the author's name, otherwise it means that there is a problem with the painting.

Ge Qingyun listened, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

At this time, Quan Xiangning said with a smile: "After all, it is the work of Gao Xiang, one of the eight monsters in Yangzhou, the painting style is very high, diluted and simple, sparse and remote, which perfectly embodies the characteristics of Gao Xiang's painting skills, Mr. Meng, are you right?"

Originally, Meng Zitao really wouldn't express any opinions at this time, but when Quan Xiangning said this, he was obviously forcing him to agree with this point of view, and he definitely couldn't simply reply.

Otherwise, Quan Xiangning found an opportunity to take out this painting, saying that he also agreed that this was Gao Xiang's real work, and that there was some, and in the end, it would definitely bring him some trouble.

Meng Zitao felt that Quan Xiangning knew that there was something wrong with this painting, but he still asked like this, and the ill-intentioned elements were relatively large, so he spoke more directly: "The style of this painting is indeed more in line with Gao Xiang's characteristics. ”

How could Gao Xiangning not hear the meaning of these words, and his face suddenly changed: "You mean to say that this painting is a fake?"

Meng Zitao smiled, although he didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning was self-evident.

Gao Xiangning's expression, which had always been smiling, completely changed: "Young man, don't think that after learning a little fur, you can guide the country, or do you think that you can become an appraisal master after reading a few books?"

Gao Xiangning's severe accusation did not make Meng Zitao angry, because he felt that it was really impossible to be angry with this kind of person, and he was completely sure that he would kill the other party with one blow.

At this time, Ge Qingyun of course had to help Meng Zitao, otherwise he couldn't talk about it, he said: "Elder Gao, we have something to say, why don't you let Mr. Meng say his opinion, let's talk about other things?"

"Hmph!" Gao Xiangning directly reprimanded: "What is the most important thing in what we do? Knowledge and experience! Before he learned to walk, he wanted to run, with his ability, what can he see, what insights can he have?!"

Gao Xiangning talked about seniority, as if he was an authority when he was old, which made Meng Zitao sneer in his heart.

To say, in the antique industry, being old does have an advantage, and the age of the general expert is indeed relatively old, but if the older one must be the authority, it is to sell the old according to the old.

Meng Zitao was a little angry in his stomach, with a sneering smile on his face, and asked: "Elder Gao, since you are so firm that this painting is genuine, can you talk about the evidence, otherwise there is no evidence, and there is no way to be convincing!"

"Okay, you want proof, right, I'll be generous today and give you a free lesson. ”

Quan Xiangning glanced at Meng Zitao disdainfully, then walked to the desk, pointed to the painting, and said: "In this painting, the author uses a way from far to near to depict the mountains and peaks vividly. In the distance, there are lonely peaks and pine trees, which makes us feel the tenacity of the vitality of green pines. ”

The thin white mist like a light veil shrouded the top of the mountain, and it could be seen that the mountain was high and far away, perhaps conveying a kind of heroic and expansive thoughts and feelings of him. The nearby mountains are low, as if looking down on everything in the mountains. If you look closely, you can see every grass and tree on the mountain. ”

"He is both green and moist in his brushwork, elegant and ancient, and contains interest in simplicity. In the use of ink color, it is also a combination of shades and layers. The simple color matching, concise brushwork, and elegant ink color create an ethereal feeling......"

Quan Xiang Ning talked eloquently, talking about being so confident, and he was really confident.

Previously, Quan Xiangning saw that although Meng Zitao was young, he was still relatively knowledgeable in terms of temperament, and he was brought by Ge Qingyun, so it was likely that he had two brushes.

Since this is the case, of course he should be cautious, so he mentioned Xi Zhengzhen. Seeing that Meng Zitao was not interested in Xi Zhengzhen, for the sake of safety, he changed another painting and took out a painting that he thought was genuine, and of course he was very confident when he spoke.

In the end, Ge Qingyun hesitated a little, because Meng Zitao had made a deep impression on him when he had appraised his collections before, and what he said was true, there was no objection at all, so he believed in Meng Zitao very much.

But now Quan Xiangning has come up with a number of powerful evidences, and Ge Qingyun can't refute it if he asks himself, and although he appreciated it with prejudice just now, he was also impressed by this painting, so he began to doubt Meng Zitao's judgment in his heart. (To be continued.) )
