"Appraisal of Calligraphy and Painting ......"

The young man looked puzzled, and glanced at Qi Xiang again, but he didn't say anything, just walked a little faster, led the two into the house, and signaled, "You sit down first, I'll call grandpa." ”

Before the young man left, the huge boss immediately gave Qi Xiang a thumbs up and sighed: "Brother Qi, your eyesight is definitely this...... The eyes are like torches, amazing! ”

Don't look at his outward attire...... is not mainstream, but in fact, he is a more traditional person at heart...... Well, at least like the traditional stuff. ”

"Traditional?" The huge boss was thoughtful, and immediately thanked him: "Taught!" Thank you Brother Qi for your advice. ”

Between the whispers between the two, Wei Ye and the young man walked in.

"Eh, Boss Pang......"

As soon as he entered the door, Wei Ye politely bowed his hand and greeted: "I don't know if you are here, you are disrespectful, disrespectful." ”

"It's our presumptuous decision to disturb your morning exercise." The huge boss is naturally very polite.

The two of them met at the preparatory meeting of the Calligraphy and Painting Awards, and they are not strangers. Of course, it's just a nodding acquaintance, and it's not familiar. That's why the huge boss will ask Qi Xiang.

However, Wei Ye was at least able to call the name of the huge boss, and then when his eyes turned and fell on Qi Xiang's body, he was a little blind, and said embarrassedly: "This little friend, we meet again." ”

"Wei Ye ......"

Qi Xiang smiled and reminded, "I'm Qi Xiang." ”

"It turned out to be ...... What the? ”

Wei Ye was suddenly startled, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells: "Are you ...... Qi Xiang? ”

"Master Wei, why haven't you seen me for half a year, and you don't remember me?" Qi Xiang smiled and said, "Didn't I give you the pair of Qianlong dwarf stake lion heads, and you are still angry with me?" ”

"You, you...... Is it really Qi Xiang? ”

Wei Ye looked Qi Xiang up and down, looking back and forth, with a look of surprise: "It's not like it." ”

"How doesn't it look like it?"

Qi Xiang stroked his hair. smiled and said, "Do you always think that I am different from before?" ”

"Uh......"

Wei Ye was stunned, and after looking carefully, his memory was blurred.

It's like a huge boss, who just had a relationship with Qi Xiang, he has forgotten what Qi Xiang looks like, and when they meet again, he will definitely not notice any difference between Qi Xiang and Qi Xiang.

In contrast, Wei Ye did have more contact with Qi Xiang a few times. But it's not much. was deeply impressed by the pair of dwarf stake lion heads, and then remembered Qi Xiang.

But he may not remember the details of Qi Xiang's appearance clearly, but he only vaguely has a memory. So now when Qi Xiang asked, he himself was shaken.

After a while, Wei Ye said vaguely: "Your hair seems to have grown a lot." ”

"Eh, Wei Ye, you said it earlier." Qi Xiang suddenly smiled and said, "Then listen to you, after I go back." Just cut your hair shorter. ”

"No, no." Wei Ye hurriedly waved his hand and changed the topic: "Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for half a year. This time. Where have you been? ”

"I went to Huzhou." Qi Xiang smiled: "Half a year ago, there was an accident in my store, and I had no choice but to return to Huzhou for development." Thanks to Boss Pang's care. to make a comeback......"

"Ahem......"

The huge boss seemed to be angry, and coughed. What care, is this a slap in the face?

And even if he was slapped in the face. He couldn't be angry, and he had to squeeze out a smile to show his modesty: "It's also Brother Qi, you have your own strength, even if you don't have me...... You will be able to stand firm wherever you are. ”

"Oh?"

With Wei Ye's shrewdness, it can be seen at a glance that the relationship between the two does not seem to be as good as it says. Of course, this has nothing to do with him, and he will certainly not debunk.

"When I came back this time, I heard that the calligraphy and painting award was about to start, so I planned to join in the fun."

Qi Xiang continued: "I didn't think about it, there was that accident yesterday...... Fortunately, it can be considered a satisfactory solution now. However, we also heard that some things have not been recovered, and we are worried that you are old, so we will come to take a look. ”

Excuses, as soon as you hear them, you know that they are excuses.

After all, if Wei Ye's things are not recovered, the two of them come to the door like this, I am afraid it will not be comfort, but showing off, humiliating, and being hated. As long as you have a little emotional intelligence, you won't do this.

The two of them just came, which means that the two of them are also sure that Wei Ye has not lost, and the things have been successfully recovered.

Wei Ye is also an old man for many years, and with a little calculation in his heart, he can sort out all aspects clearly, and he is sure that the two people came to visit, and it is estimated that it is not for reminiscence and visit, but for ulterior motives.

As for any intentions, Wei Ye was not in a hurry, but smiled and said, "Thank you two for your care, you have a heart." Speaking of which, it is also everyone's care, and the lost things were sent back to me last night. ”

"Nothing is damaged, is it?" The huge boss hurriedly inquired.

"Of course not, safe and sound." Wei Ye was also a little lucky: "Actually, I'm also most worried about this, after all, it's a paper calligraphy and painting, and I must not be tossed at all, and if I pull it a little, it will be over." ”

"Yes, yes, yes......"

The huge boss seemed to have found a bosom friend, and hurriedly nodded: "When the thing was found, I immediately checked it and found that there were a few more gray finger prints on the picture scroll, even if it was very light, it made my heart blocked." ”

"What, fingerprints?" Wei Ye was stunned: "I didn't pay attention to this." ”

"Master Wei, then you have to look at it carefully." The huge boss pouted: "Hurry up and take out the things, we will help you check and inspect ......"

The huge boss was too eager, which made Wei Ye feel strange, and he instinctively shook his head and said: "This kind of small thing, how can you bother the two of you to help, I can do it myself." ”

"No annoyance, no annoyance." The huge boss also realized that he was anxious, and immediately said: "Actually, we are happy to serve you Wei Ye, Brother Qi, you say yes......"

"Hmm."

Qi Xiang nodded slightly, and then sighed: "Master Wei, I really don't hide it. In addition to visiting you, we would like to ask you something. ”

"What's the matter?" Wei Ye was also a little curious.

"It's the arrangement of the Calligraphy and Painting Awards." Qi Xiang said softly: "We got the news that the things have been recovered, so the big prize will be carried out according to the plan." But there was another rumor of it. Some people's things were lost, and I was afraid that they would have opinions and not be able to rub salt into their wounds, so I simply canceled the calligraphy and painting award and came back next year......"

"We don't know whether the two news are true or false, so we specially came to ask for advice."

Qi Xiang's expression was very serious, and he actually carried private goods.

The huge boss didn't know, and when he heard the wind that Qi Xiang said, he was stunned on the spot. He reacted immediately. Immediately gave a thumbs up in my heart, and I couldn't wait to shout high, really high.

Regardless of whether there is this rumor or not, anyway, Qi Xiang released the rumor first, and he made something out of nothing, maybe he can make it true. If this year's calligraphy and painting awards are not held, wouldn't he have enough time and patience to slowly come to the door and beg Wei Ye to give him things?

This hand. It's a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, amazing!

The huge boss is convinced, this scheming, this skill, no wonder Sun Lao has been full of praise. The key is that Qi Xiang is still young. As long as he is given enough time to accumulate, there will definitely be a place for him in the antique world in a few decades.

When the huge boss sighed, Wei Ye's brows couldn't help frowning.

"Not really?"

Wei Ye thought about it and hesitated: "There's no reason." As far as I know, the value of those things that have not been recovered can only be described as average. It doesn't affect the overall situation. ”

"Do you know what you've lost?" Qi Xiang pushed the boat down the river and asked for advice: "Can you also talk to us, so that we can have a bottom in our hearts." ”

"Those things, you can't say that you lost them, you can only say that they haven't been found back for the time being." Wei Ye said with a smile: "We also have to believe in the police's ability to handle and investigate, and there must be results soon." ”

"For those things...... I want to think about ......"

Wei Ye seemed to have read the list, and pondered: "It's just a few paintings, and a few ancient books." ”

"Ancient books?"

Qi Xiang's eyes lit up slightly, and he asked, "What ancient books?" ”

"It's a relatively ordinary Taoist scripture."

Wei Ye said with a smile: "The Ming Dynasty survey and printing version has been handed down to the world, and it is not a rare book or rare book. ”

"That's right......"

Suddenly, Wei Ye seemed to think of something, and said casually: "There is also a manuscript that is difficult to distinguish between true and false, if it can be determined to be genuine, I am afraid that it is of high value and can cause a sensation." ”

"What manuscript?" Qi Xiang asked, also calming down, his expression was normal.

Wei Ye smiled, and his tone was a little inexplicable: "Xu Xiake's travels." ”

"What?" Qi Xiang was stunned, he didn't expect that it would be such an answer.

"I didn't expect that." Wei Ye smiled and said: "It is said to be a manuscript, but it is actually a few fragments. The owner said that it was the original manuscript of Xu Xiake's travelogue, but it lacked sufficient evidence, and it was very controversial, and it was difficult to identify the authenticity. ”

"Why?" Qi Xiang was surprised: "Where is the controversy? ”

To explain, in the appraisal of antiques, the word controversy cannot be done casually. If one glance is true, or one glance is false, there is no controversy.

Only when it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, there are real elements and false states, will there be doubts and controversy.

"That thing, someone has identified it, and judging from the paper, it is indeed a very popular paper in the late Ming Dynasty."

Wei Ye explained: "In addition, the handwriting of the manuscript is also similar to the calligraphy of some letters handed down by Xu Xiake. From these perspectives, it is more likely that the manuscript is genuine. ”

"The problem is that the content of the manuscript makes everyone doubt it."

Wei Ye shook his head and said: "As we all know, Xu Xiake can also be called a strange person through the ages, who has traveled all over the world all his life, accompanied by the long wind and clouds, filling his hunger with wild fruits and quenching his thirst with clear springs. Footprints throughout the country, everywhere he went, explored the secrets, and recorded a travel diary, recording in detail the various phenomena, humanities, geography, animals and plants observed. ”

"These detailed information are the books we see today about Xu Xiake's travels."

Wei Ye frowned and said: "But the content of those few pages of the manuscript has nothing to do with the content of the finished book......" (to be continued...... to be continued)
