The things everyone brought were quickly appreciated, some real and some fake. Chen Lao, who had a short beard on his mouth, the two things he brought were identified as fake, and he seemed a little unconvinced, and argued with Xu Lao and a few others, and finally had to admit it, and sat there drinking tea angrily.

"Alright, Lao Chen, don't be angry. Dong Hongfeng persuaded, "When everyone has a blind eye, I also paid a lot of tuition fees back then." ”

"Yes, don't take it too seriously, and then play slowly in the future!" the short and fat Xu Lao also persuaded.

Boss Chen is even more unhappy, if someone else says this, he can still accept it, but Xu Fatzi, who is also a layman like himself, can buy real goods, and his level is stronger than him, so why did he buy fakes. Thinking of this, Boss Chen was even more unhappy, he stood up, "I still have one more thing here, a few more will help to take a look." ”

As he spoke, he stepped aside and took out a pair of rolled scrolls from a small safe.

"Lao Chen, you are really, if you have good things, take them out early!" Dong Hongfeng is an expert, as soon as he saw the yellowed Cheng dù on the paper and the texture of the scroll, he knew that this thing was not bad, he hurriedly walked over, cleaned up the Eight Immortals table, vacated a large space, and said, "Come, put it here, let me take a closer look." There was already some impatience in his tone.

Chen Lao held the scroll over, untied it carefully, and then slowly laid it out, and finally opened the scroll and spread it flat on the table.

"It's Liu Gongquan's words!" Dong Hongfeng recognized it at once, his face was delighted, carefully observed the calligraphy style, and checked the back of the inscription and bell seal, and said: "That's right, it is Liu Gongquan's words, which belong to his early works, at this time his style has not been completely formed, during which there are still many traces of imitation of many famous artists." ”

Li Haoran is not very good at appraising calligraphy, but Liu Gongquan still knows that one of the four masters of regular script in the Tang Dynasty, the pen is breezy and the slight clouds are soothing, which is quite natural and interesting, and has a relatively large impact on calligraphy in later generations.

Liu Gongquan's calligraphy was not good at the beginning, on the contrary, his early calligraphy was ugly. At the age of seventeen, Liu Gongquan went to take the entrance examination, which was supposed to be the first place, but the examiner thought that his handwriting was too ugly, so he gave the first place to Liu Gongquan's nephew. This made Liu Gongquan suffer a lot of humiliation, and after he came back, he was angry and strong, studied and copied a lot of calligraphy characters, and finally became a self-contained.

Xu Lao and Zuo Lao also stepped forward to carefully appraise it, and finally said: "It should be Liu Gongquan's authentic work, looking at the style, it is indeed his early works, and you can indeed see some eyebrows and eyes in the style of other famous artists." ”

The meaning of this sentence is that Liu Gongquan's style has not yet been completed, and it is still influenced by other famous artists.

"Lao Chen, this painting is very good, Liu Gongquan's work, but it's too rare!" Dong Hongfeng looked reluctant again, lying on the scroll and refusing to let go.

The corners of Old Chen's mouth turned up, showing a smug look, he looked at Li Haoran and Xu Fatzi, who had not yet expressed their opinions, "You two also help take a look." ”

Xu Fatzi waved his hand again and again, "My own name is written like a dog climbing a fork, how can I understand this, so I won't be ugly." ”

Li Haoran didn't like to write, but during his serious illness, Qingyunzi didn't train him less, on the one hand, he trained his calligraphy, and on the other hand, it was to erase Li Haoran's anger, so that he could develop perseverance, but he didn't know that after practicing the hundreds of jars of water, he was already a calligraphy master, after hearing Chen Lao's words, Li Haoran walked over, stood in front of the scroll and looked at it for a moment, his brows furrowed, he asked Dong Hongfeng next to him, "Boss Dong, is this really Liu Gongquan's early work?"

Dong Hongfeng raised his eyes, "What do you mean by this! I may be able to read other works, but I will never be wrong about calligraphy." ”

Li Haoran shook his head, "If you say so, then this painting is fake!"

The people in the room were a little strange, what kind of logic is this? Even Xu Fatzi, who had been sitting there drinking tea, walked over and looked at it twice, wondering what the secret of this painting was.

Only Chen Lao's face was a little unnatural, and his mouth opened a little, but he didn't speak.

Xu Lao asked: "Doctor Li, can you tell me the reason, and let us all have a long insight, where is this calligraphy?" Xu Lao was very puzzled, with his own years of calligraphy appraisal experience, this character is absolutely true.

"It may be a little difficult to accept to say it, but it is true!" Li Haoran pointed to the letter, "I don't know much calligraphy, I observe it from the perspective of medical skills." According to my observations, the person who wrote this painting was already exhausted at that time, and after writing this painting, he would die within seven days, and there was no salvation from the medicine. Liu Gongquan is a well-known long-lived calligrapher, at the age of 87, if this is his early work, it would be a bit against the common sense of doctors. ”

The ancients said: Calligraphy, text and painting, all have the middle qi in the middle, so we can see that the calligrapher is poor and long-lived. The style of writing is round and fluent, and his people must be sleek and sophisticated, such as Zhao Meng, a great calligrapher who abandoned Zhao Touyuan;

To look at calligraphy, in addition to looking at the font glyph, we should also look at the strength and integrity of the character.

Zuo Lao is a person who loves calligraphy, he believes that words are spiritual, and when he heard Li Haoran's words, he stepped forward and observed it carefully, and finally shook his head and said: "I can't see it, this character is really a little inaccurate." ”

After speaking, he sat back in his seat, took a sip of tea, and said: "I once saw a story in an ancient book of the Qing Dynasty, "The Tale of Oupi Fisherman", which is about Fu Qingzhu, a great calligrapher and great doctor in the early Qing Dynasty. Once Fu Qingzhu was drunk and wrote a wild grass, he went to sleep, and when he got up the next day, he looked at it again, and suddenly became stunned, saying that his life would not last long. When his son asked him why, he said that he could see from the words that he was dying and that his life was imminent. Only then did Fu Qingzhu's son admit that this painting was not written by you, father, but by me after you slept last night. Lord Fu Qing was even more sad, saying that even if this is the case, I am afraid that your life will not last long. Soon after the incident, Fu Qingzhu's son died, which was a very big blow to Fu Qingzhu. ”

Putting down the teacup, Lao Zuo sighed: "I didn't expect that Dr. Li, like Fu Qingzhu, is a master of qi observation, but it's a pity that it's hard to say whether this character is true or false." ”

Dong Hongfeng looked at Chen Lao at this time and said, "Lao Chen, since you bought this calligraphy, can you tell me about the origin?"

Old Chen's face was a little lost, he waved his hand, and said angrily: "It's in exchange, what is there to talk about." ”

Zuo Lao frowned slightly, this is not what Chen Lao should have, usually when there is a dispute between truth and falsehood, he will definitely blow his beard and stare at him, desperately defending his opinion, why is there a lack of interest today.

After pondering carefully before and after, Zuo Lao suddenly understood, dog's day, this surnamed Chen must have known that this character was fake, and the things he brought today were identified as fake by everyone, he swept his face, and took out this character, wanting to deliberately try to study everyone's eyesight, but unfortunately, he deceived all the experts, but let Li Haoran, who is a doctor, see through it at a glance.

In the antique industry, it is not easy to mix up fame, so the more famous you are, the more you cherish your reputation, like today, three masters can identify things for two laymen for free, which is already very rare, but I didn't expect that there were people who deliberately stumbled and wanted you to make a mistake.

Zuo Lao was very angry in his heart, and knocked the teacup on the table, you surnamed Chen are too damaged, you don't have enough eyesight to buy fakes, can you blame everyone, and no one is holding a knife on your neck to force you to buy those guys.

Old Xu was a big old man, and he couldn't think of Old Chen's crooked intestines, he looked at Li Haoran and said, "Doctor Li, your reason does sound reasonable, but from the perspective of calligraphy and painting identification, it is difficult to stand. Do you think this is a fake, is there any other reason?"
