After Chen Zhan put the painting away, a middle-aged man in his fifties among the few people at the table said, "Eh, everyone, I also brought a painting, please give me a palm."

When Boss Li on the side heard this, he was immediately interested, "Take it out and let everyone take a look!"

The middle-aged man held a long box in his hand, took out the painting in the box, spread it on the table, Chen Zhan and Song Xin immediately surrounded it, this painting is 191 centimeters long and 104 centimeters wide, this painting depicts a white goose pacing under the plum tree.

Qin Lao and Zhu Lao immediately surrounded them, picked up a magnifying glass in their hands and observed it carefully, everyone did not make a sound, waiting for the appraisal results of the second elder, "What kind of painting is this?" Song Xin didn't know calligraphy and painting, so she asked Chen Zhan.

Chen Zhan took a closer look at this painting, the white goose in the painting is pacing under the plum tree, the plum tree trunk is clumsy, the flower buds are dotted, there is a delicate and transparent Taihu Lake stone on the side, the flowers are clustered next to the stone, the goose body is soft with a brush, the color is delicate, the brushwork is rigorous, natural and wonderful, and this painting is based on silk, showing a warm tone, although the painting is a winter scene, but there is no feeling that makes people feel cold, and there is a seal printed on the upper left corner with Lu Tingzhen's seal, it seems that it should be the work of the Ming Dynasty painter Lu Ji, just in case you look away, Chen Zhan looked at the aura with his heavenly eyes, because the current fraud technology is getting more and more powerful, and many experienced experts and professors have looked at the fakes.

As soon as the eyes of heaven opened, Chen Zhan saw that the painting was wrapped in a pale yellow aura, and there was no doubt that it was genuine, and said to Song Xin: "Judging from the brushwork of this painting, it should be the work of Lu Ji, a court painter in the Ming Dynasty."

"I didn't expect this Mr. Chen to also know calligraphy and painting." Qin Lao and Zhu Lao have already observed this painting, Qin Lao heard Chen Zhan's words and said with a smile, "The painting style of this lion's head goose picture is quite similar to the work of the famous Ming Dynasty painter Lin Liang, but the whole picture of the painting is very integral, the ancient plum and Taihu Lake stone in the painting are painted with heavy ink, becoming a relatively heavy image in the painting, the depiction of the scenery in the painting is very realistic and hazy beauty, compared to Lin Liang's ink painting, and the imprint in the upper left corner is written with Lu Tingzhen's seal, this Lu Tingzhen is the Ming Dynasty painter Lu Ji, this Mr. Chen said well, This lion-headed goose picture is the work of Lu Ji. ”

"Yes, Lin Liang and Lu Ji were both court painters of the Ming Dynasty, and Lu Ji's ink painting style was mainly influenced by Lin Liang, a court painter of the same dynasty, and we can be sure that this painting is genuine!" Zhu Lao said.

Hearing the words of the two appraisers, Song Xin's eyes lit up, and he wanted to buy this painting as a birthday gift for his father, but before Song Xin could speak, Boss Li on the side first shouted: "This gentleman, do you transfer this painting?"

"Of course!" The middle-aged man nodded and said, "The people who come here are either here to buy antique paintings and calligraphy, or to sell their treasured antique books."

"Then you make an offer?" Boss Li hurriedly said.

At this time, Song Xin couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Boss Li, how did you make it seem that this gentleman only sold you alone, and I also want to buy this painting, sir, you can give the price."

"Give me a price!? By the way, Mr. Qin, I don't know how much this painting is worth, please help me estimate the price!" The middle-aged man thought for a while and said to Qin Lao.

"Okay!" Qin Lao thought for a while and said: "Lu Ji is also a famous court painter in ancient times, Mr. Sun, your lion-headed goose picture is well preserved, there is no obvious dirt stained on it, Lu Ji's paintings have been auctioned some, I estimate that this lion-headed goose picture is about two million!"

Hearing that Qin Lao assessed the price of this painting, Boss Li hurriedly said: "I'll pay two million, sir, you can sell the painting to me!"

"I'll pay 2.3 million, and I want this painting from Boss Li." Song Xin opened his mouth to quote and said to Boss Li.

Seeing that Boss Li and Song Xin were fighting for this painting, the middle-aged man was a little embarrassed, and then Qin Lao saw his embarrassment, and immediately said: "Mr. Sun, we have a rule here, if something is favored by several buyers at the same time, you can ask for an auction mode, the one with the highest price will win, Mr. Sun, would you like to auction among us?"

"Okay, just do what you say!" The middle-aged man didn't expect that there was such a method here, and it seemed that this middle-aged man was also here for the first time, so he hurriedly said.

"Okay, then let's start, I'll give two and a half million!" Boss Li opened his mouth and said, it seems that it is inevitable, Boss Li loves to collect, and most of the things in the collection are calligraphy and paintings, and now there are too many fakes of calligraphy and painting, all kinds of fakes emerge in endlessly, and if you don't pay attention to it, you will look away, spend millions to buy back a piece of waste paper, and when the time comes, it will be found to be fake by others, not only do you feel that you should respond in your heart, but also lose face among your friends.

Originally, other people also wanted to quote and compete, but when they heard that Boss Li directly quoted 2.5 million, they immediately didn't want to fight, this painting was only about 2 million, the money was too high, and it was not worth buying it back, Song Xin didn't have such an idea, she just wanted to buy this painting and give it to her father as a birthday gift, but it didn't matter if it was worth the price or not, she said: "I'll pay 3 million!"

"You! I'll give three million two hundred thousand!" Boss Li was choked by Song Xin like this, gritted his teeth, and quoted the price.

"Three and a half million!" Song Xin's face did not change and quoted the price.

"I ...... I'll pay 3.8 million, this is the highest price I have paid, if you can still pay higher than me, I will not fight for this painting, give it to you!" Boss Li quoted the bottom price in his heart and said to Song Xin 'gritted his teeth'.

Song Xin said with a faint smile: "Then I'm embarrassed Boss Li, I'll give four million!"

"Okay, okay, you're amazing." Boss Li said helplessly, the price of four million far exceeds the value of this painting, and you can buy two of these paintings with four million, so you don't have to do that kind of loss-making thing.

After Song Xin and Mr. Sun finished transferring the money, Song Xin put away the lion-headed goose picture and put it away, since the purpose of coming here has been achieved, then there is no need to continue to stay here, the people in the Yuan study handed Song Xin a pale gold business card, telling Song Xin when he wants to come here again to buy things, you can always talk to them to find out when there is an event here, and then Song Xin and Chen Zhan left the garden study.

Now that the purpose of this trip has been achieved, Song Xin is curious about everything in Pan Jiayuan, and immediately looked around, this is also touching, that is also touching, Chen Zhan has been following Song Xin's side, and also looking together, although there are many things in Panjiayuan, but fakes occupy most of them, the antique market, I saw some and found that they are all fakes, only a few are high imitation things in the Republic of China, and it is really not easy to pick up leaks.

Song Xin and Chen Zhan said while turning around in Panjiayuan: "Chen Zhan didn't expect that you really knew antique calligraphy and painting, I used to think you were bragging, but it turned out that there was real goods in your stomach."

"How can I brag, I look like that kind of person." Chen Zhan rolled his eyes and said.

"It's like!" Song Xin said with a serious face, and Chen Zhan touched his nose speechlessly.

Turning a corner, Chen Zhan saw a stall with a few bronze and jade objects squatting down to take a look, the stall was set up by an old man, the old man was smoking a dry cigarette, saw Chen Zhan come to his stall to look, and said: "Young man, look at it casually, see if there is anything you can look at."

Chen Zhan nodded, picked up the things on the stall, and looked at them carefully one by one, while Song Xin didn't speak on the side, just looked at Chen Zhan, anyway, he didn't understand these things, Chen Zhan looked at a few things and found that they were all fakes, and secretly said in his heart, this old man made so many fakes to trick people.

Chen Zhan picked up a palm-sized white dragon turtle carved with jade from the stall, from the feel of this piece of jade is an old jade, suddenly has a special feeling for this brother dragon turtle, opened the eye of the sky, only to see this dragon turtle shrouded in a thick layer of Buddha light, the good guy turned out to be a magic weapon that was opened by a monk, Chen Zhan's heart moved, and said to the old man: "Old man, how much is this dragon head turtle?"

"Oh, the young man is really a good eye, this is a good thing, this dragon turtle is carved from Hetian jade, it is an old thing of the Qing Dynasty, this is my ancestor, if I wasn't short of money recently, I would never have taken him out and sold it!" The old man saw that Chen Zhan was interested in the dragon head turtle, and immediately flickered.

"Gotta have it, old man, stop, it's not that I don't know jade, this is obviously carved by Xiuyu, where is what Hetian jade, this is an old jade, but at most it is from the Republic of China period, I think he is carved into a dragon head turtle, the picture is auspicious, old man, you just give a price!" Chen said.

When the old man saw that Chen Zhan was knowledgeable, he knew that it was useless to fool, and said: "It turns out that he is an expert, yes, you can take him away if you give 5,000 yuan."

"A thousand!" Chen Zhan said bargainingly.

"No, 1,000 is too low." The old man said with a blank face.

"That's two thousand yuan, come on, old man, this Xiuyu is not worth much, if you still feel low, I won't buy it!" Chen Zhan saw that the old man was still going to say that the price was low, so he hurriedly spoke.

Hearing Chen Zhan say this, the old man said curtly: "Young man, if you don't add some more money, it's not easy for me, old man, cough cough, my health is not good, I have to see a doctor often to buy medicine, and a lot of money is a lot of money." As he spoke, the old man played a bitter trick.

Song Xin on the side was amused by the old man's performance, and said to Chen Zhan: "Okay, Chen Zhan, you can add some money to the old man!"

Hearing Song Xin's words, Chen Zhan looked at the old man's superficial bitter tricks, and said helplessly: "Okay, then I'll give you two thousand five hundred yuan."

"Okay, okay, little girl, thank you." After taking the money, the old man said to Song Xin with a smile.

Chen Zhan took the head dragon turtle and said to Song Xin: "Do you want to go, or continue to go around?" “
