Meng Zitao said: "This landscape painting is created using Goryeo rice paper, because this paper is thicker, it can be neatly uncovered from it, it is the second piece of the painting, so the brush and ink are a little light, I have seen Wang Shimin's other landscape paintings before, I have never seen such a light brush and ink." ”

The aunt shook her head: "I understand the meaning, but I still can't figure out whether this painting is real or fake." ”

Meng Zitao said: "In our antique world, the 'second layer' is also called 'soul', and the reason why I say this is because it is the second layer of the painting heart, which is the soul in the life paper. So strictly speaking, it's also genuine. It's just that because the content of the painting on the second layer is missing, its value is definitely not as good as that of the first layer. ”

"Another thing is that if you look at this seal, it has actually been reprocessed, and it is not genuine, so in general, the painting is valuable, but it will be discounted. ”

"How much is that worth?" the aunt hurriedly asked, and when she spoke, she was still clenching her fists, which showed the nervousness in her heart.

Meng Zitao pondered for a moment and said: "Judging from the size and content of your painting, I think it is worth about one million, of course, this is just my estimate, you can also ask others." ”

Hearing this price, the aunt was stunned for a moment, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.

In this regard, everyone doesn't know how to comfort her, after all, if it were herself, she would also collapse when she encountered this kind of thing.

However, considering that the aunt is not young, everyone still tried their best to comfort her and said something like "the dead are gone, and the living should be like this".

At this time, Dajun and the policeman walked in with Sun Yuanxi, who was still a little angry.

As soon as Sun Yuan saw his mother's appearance. Thinking it was because of him, he hurriedly ran over and knelt in front of his mother: "Mom, it's all my fault, it's my fault, I won't make you angry again in the future." Don't do that, okay?"

The aunt suddenly hugged her son's head, and cried "wow", the heart-rending cry was really sad for the listeners, and the tears for the hearers.

Everyone felt very uncomfortable, and Meng Zitao's impression of Ai Xuan was even worse.

Although, it is very likely that this painting was not identified by Ai Xuan, but his shop. It is also his face, and when others go to his store to shop or appraisal, it is very important because of his reputation.

In this case, shouldn't the staff and shopkeepers in the store be stricter?

What's more, for people who have a business, this painting is "unveiling the second layer" is actually very easy to see, if you look wrong. It can only be because the other party's level is not enough, or it is careless. Thinking that Ai Xuan possessed the same painting, he sentenced the painting to death.

It is true that the suicide of my aunt's husband has his own reasons, but if it is not arbitrary to say that it is a fake, can this kind of thing happen?

The aunt cried for a while. Let Sun Yuanxi wait outside the door.

As soon as Sun Yuanxi heard this, he became a little anxious and said, "Mom, I will definitely listen to you in the future, don't drive me away!"

The aunt touched her son's head: "Obedient." Go outside and wait, Mom won't want you. ”

Sun Yuanxi got a definite answer and obediently walked out of the door.

"Comrade policeman, can I call the police to solve this matter?" said the aunt with a cold face.

"Unfortunately, the most you can do is go through civil proceedings and go to court, but if you want to win, you have to prepare detailed evidence," the police said. ”

His implication is that it is not so easy to win the lawsuit.

And this is indeed the case, because there is no video evidence at the time, the other party can quibble in every way. There are also motivations for suicide and so on, and there are many articles to be done. And with Ai Xuan's economic conditions, if the aunt wants to win this lawsuit, it is like an ant shaking a tree.

Although the aunt really wanted to settle accounts with the people in Zhengyunlou, however, she really couldn't find enough evidence, and her family situation did not allow her to fight this lawsuit.

Although the aunt was resentful in her heart, she had not lost her mind, and her thousands of words could only be replaced by a long sigh in the end.

After a moment of silence, the aunt said to Meng Zitao: "Big brother, do you want this painting?"

"You want to sell it?" Meng Zitao asked.

The aunt smiled bitterly: "In terms of my family's situation, what can I do if I keep it? Moreover, this painting is a bad memory for our family, so we should sell it." ”

Meng Zitao asked, "Auntie, are you in a hurry for money?"

Aunt asked, "What do you mean?"

Meng Zitao said: "That's right, I have an auction company under my name, if you are not in a hurry to use the money, you can entrust our company to conduct the auction." ”

"Then do you have to pay before the auction?" The aunt was a little vigilant in her eyes, there were too many such scams, although Meng Zitao seemed to be a good person, she was also a little worried.

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Our company is a regular auction company, and all expenses are settled after the fact. ”

As he spoke, he took out his business card and handed it out, and then said, "Of course, if you feel uneasy, we can also trade now, even if the price is one million as I said just now." ”

The aunt thought about it, but still felt that the money was reliable in her own hands, and said: "Big brother, I also know that you mean well, but my family's situation is a little special, so let's sell it now." ”

Meng Zitao smiled slightly: "Okay, no problem, we can sign an agreement immediately." ”

After dealing with some things, Meng Zitao and the mother and son came to the bank to transfer money.

Seeing the huge amount of money on the passbook, the aunt had mixed feelings, she loved and hated it, and in a trance, she didn't even notice that Meng Zitao had left.

The aunt came back to her senses and asked her son, "Hey, where have they gone?"

She originally wanted Meng Zitao to help look at the antiques left by her husband, but she didn't expect a trance person to disappear.

Sun Yuanxi replied: "Let's go, why don't I go and find them back?"

"No, let's talk about it later. "Auntie waved her hand, now that she has money, let's deal with those things later.

Because of Sun Yuanxi's matter, the morning passed like that, so Meng Zitao invited Liu Lijin to lunch, but in the end it was Liu Lijin who paid the money, after all, if it weren't for Meng Zitao, I don't know when today's matter would have to be resolved.

After the meal, Liu Lijin took Meng Zitao and Dajun to his friend's residence.

Liu Lijin rang the doorbell, and after a while, a man in his thirties and forties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, came to open the door: "Hey, Lao Liu, why did you come back so early?"

After entering the house, Liu Lijin first introduced the two parties, and the two sides exchanged a few words, and then Liu Lijin said: "It's not a good position for you to introduce, so I haven't done a few business in the morning." ”

Hou Yonghua was surprised: "That location is good, under normal circumstances, business is not very bad, is it because you are a newcomer?"

"What a newcomer!" Liu Lijin briefly recounted the events of the morning.

"And this kind of thing?" Hou Yonghua said in surprise.

"Isn't it!" Liu Lijin was a little angry.

"That's none of my business, I can only say that you were unlucky and happened to bump into it. ”

Hou Yonghua smiled and said to Meng Zitao: "Brother Meng, can you let me enjoy this painting?"

Meng Zitao nodded with a smile and said, "Of course it's no problem." ”

Hou Yonghua thanked him, and then invited everyone into his study.

Hou Yonghua's study is very large, but there are also many books of all kinds, and the room is full of piles, from the names of these books, as well as the calligraphy works hanging on the wall, it can be seen that Hou Yonghua is at least a calligraphy lover.

Entering the study, Hou Yonghua couldn't wait to take out the landscape painting, and his eyes lit up suddenly, and then he admired it.

With nothing to do, Meng Zitao and Liu Lijin chatted a few words, and then admired the calligraphy works in the room.

After more than ten minutes, Hou Yonghua's eyes left the scroll, and he sighed: "It is worthy of Wang Xunzhi, with a charm and profound artistic conception, but unfortunately this is a 'bastard', if it is the original, it will be better." ”

Meng Zitao nodded yes.

Liu Lijin was still a little incredible: "It stands to reason that Zhengyunlou has a high evaluation in business, how could he make such a mistake?"

Hou Yonghua sneered: "What's this, Ai Xuan's subordinates, how can there be anyone else in their eyes besides Ai Xuan? I see where their faces are going to get out of today's events!"

The rumors in the antique market spread very quickly, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the entire antique industry in the commercial capital will know about it.

Liu Lijin asked: "Brother Meng, you said earlier that you are here to participate in the exchange meeting organized by Li Jingfu, so you should be careful then." ”

Hou Yonghua took over and asked, "Brother Meng, do you have any objects to exhibit?"

Meng Zitao nodded: "Yes, I brought a blue and white folded branch hexagonal bottle this time." ”

Hou Yonghua said: "Then you have to be careful, Ai Xuan's guy is very sinister." ”

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "If there are too many lice, it is not itchy, let him go, and I forgive him for not daring to make small moves with me." ”

Hou Yonghua's heart moved when he heard this, and asked, "Listen to what you mean, you also had some contradictions with Ai Xuan before?"

Meng Zitao said: "My master is Zheng Anzhi. ”

"Are you Zheng Lao's apprentice?" Hou Yonghua and Liu Lijin were both stunned, looking very surprised. (To be continued.) )
