Chapter 55: The Mystery of the Painting

Of course, whether the heart is painted on paper or silk, this is not the point. The key is in the heart of the painting, which is very clean and tidy, white as snow, without any ink marks, let alone any calligraphy and painting.

"A blank piece of paper, where did this painting come from?" Xiao Ding was stunned, then a little flustered, and turned around and said, "Zhu Shao, did you take the wrong thing?" ”

"That's right, it's the painting." Zhu Qiao stood up, walked leisurely and said, "You two have shown me carefully, how is this painting?" ”

"Huh?" When Xiao Ding heard this, he didn't know what he thought, his face suddenly changed, he was uneasy, and said in a trembling voice: "Zhu Shao, I'm just a little person, I don't know where I usually offend you......

"You think too much...... Zhu Qiao sneered disdainfully, and said contemptuously: "If you offend me, I would have sunk to the bottom of the lake a long time ago, how could you still have a chance to stand in front of me." ”

When Xiao Ding heard this, he was relieved and said with a forced smile: "Zhu Shao, you are right. I'm a cranky person, so don't take it to heart. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I called you, it's to see the painting, I don't want to hear you pat yourself." Zhu Qiao said with a calm face: "Give me a serious look, and then tell me well, how is this painting." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Ding was completely dumbfounded, his legs and feet were weak, and he almost didn't kneel.

The scroll is as blank as snow, and there are not even ink spots, so what do you want him to see? It's no wonder that he wants to make a big mess, thinking that Zhu Qiao is deliberately teasing him, finding an excuse to embarrass him, and then using the topic to play......

It was Qi Xiang, but he could hear that Zhu Qiao's tone was very serious, at least he sincerely asked them to help look at the paintings.

In other words, what mystery is likely hidden on this blank scroll?

Qi Xiang examined it carefully and fell into deep thought.

At the same time, Zhu Qiao was also very dissatisfied: "You don't have any skills, it's normal that you can't understand." Didn't I tell you to bring a master here, why didn't you listen? ”

"Master ......" Xiao Ding perked up, and hurriedly pointed at Qi Xiang and said, "Zhu Shao, this Qi shopkeeper is a master." ”

"Him?" Zhu Qiao's eyes were full of suspicion.

"That's right." Xiao Ding hurriedly explained: "Zhu Shao, in front of you, I definitely don't dare to lie. You send someone to Huzhou to inquire, you will know, at the opening ceremony of Xuzhai not long ago, the shopkeeper Qi overwhelmed the crowd and showed a superb level of identification, and finally won the five million lottery heads......"

"Huh?" Zhu Qiao thought thoughtfully: "I have also heard a little about this matter, it turned out that he did it." ”

"It's him, it's him." Xiao Ding nodded again and again, then his face collapsed, and he snorted: "But Zhu Shao, your painting ...... Is it really not wrong? ”

Zhu Qiao's face darkened, and he glared: "I said that I didn't take it wrong, I didn't take it wrong, you are deaf and can't hear clearly?" ”

"But ......," said Xiao Ding dryly, "this painting...... There is no picture. ”

“…… If there is a picture, I won't read it myself, and I can still use you? Zhu Qiao gritted his teeth and said: "It's because there is no picture that I asked you to help look at the painting!" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Ding was completely stunned: "No picture, what should we see?" ”

"I don't care, it's here anyway." Zhu Qiao said arrogantly: "You give me a good look, and then tell me why." Otherwise...... Hmph, don't go! ”

"Zhu Shao, don't scare me!" Xiao Ding's face turned pale and broke out in a cold sweat.

"I'm never joking." Zhu Qiao had a cold face,

At this moment, Qi Xiang turned around and asked, "What is the origin of this painting?" ”

"What?" Zhu Qiao was stunned for a moment.

"How did you get this painting?" Qi Xiang asked again: "When you bought it, what did the painting look like?" How did the person who sold you the painting introduced? ”

"Huh?" Xiao Ding's eyes flickered, and he suddenly shouted: "Drop the bag, by the way, it must be the bag drop." Zhu Shao, did someone steal the real painting and replace it with this fake painting for you......"

"What kind of bag to drop, this painting is like this." Zhu Qiao was inexplicably annoyed, and then shouted: "All in all, this is a good painting, a very good painting, priceless, priceless, understand?" ”

Xiao Ding was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and looked at Zhu Qiao stupidly, he really couldn't figure out what the situation was.

Qi Xiang thought for a moment and asked again: "Then tell me, how did this painting come about?" ”

"What's the matter...... Zhu Qiao said sullenly: "I bought it." ”

"When you buy it, is that what the painting looks like?" Qi Xiang was a little surprised.

“…… Yes and what? Zhu Qiao suddenly shouted: "Don't talk nonsense, I invited you to come and see the painting, not for you to ask questions and ask questions, ...... inquire."

"If you don't ask clearly, how can you look at the painting?" Qi Xiang was unmoved, and stated a fact: "To treat people, you still have to look at it, what can you see?" ”

Zhu Qiao was speechless for a moment, and his face changed again and again.

Just when Xiao Ding was frightened, thinking that Zhu Qiao had a temper attack and was going to mess around, he heard him shout: "Laifu, you come out, explain to them......"

At the sound of an order, a middle-aged man in his forties, who was very shrewd, suddenly flashed out.

"Young master, what do you command?" The middle-aged man asked with a smile, his eyes flickering from time to time, like a fox that had eaten a fat chicken, full of smiles.

"Tell them what the painting is about." Zhu Qiao threw down a sentence and walked away with his hands behind his back. He seemed to be in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, he was nowhere to be seen.

"Okay, young master!"

The middle-aged man sent Zhu Qiao away, and as soon as he turned around, his waist became very straight, and he looked very serious: "What do you want to know, hurry up and ask." ”

"What's going on with this painting?" Xiao Ding couldn't wait and asked directly: "What kind of painting is this, it's clearly a blank frame." ”

The middle-aged man's eyes were sharp, and he said in a deep voice: "The young master said that it was a painting, then it must be a painting." Preferably, no, it has to be! ”

"Huh?" Xiao Ding was dumbfounded, doesn't this mean that the deer is a horse and a strong man is difficult.

Qi Xiang frowned slightly, and immediately stretched: "Whether it is a painting or not, we won't mention this for the time being." What is the origin of this thing, you should be able to tell us, right? ”

"There's no origin for anything." The middle-aged man said lightly: "This is at a private auction, and the young master auctioned it." The host of the auction said that this seems to be an antiquity handed down from the Tang and Song dynasties, and there should be no fake. ”

"Wait......" Qi Xiang was a little surprised: "Are you sure that this is an antiquity from the Tang and Song dynasties?" ”

You must know that the Tang and Song dynasties have at least a thousand years of history. But the heart of the painting is as white as snow, which is unreasonable.

The middle-aged man glanced at him: "It's just that I'm not sure, so I'm looking for you experts to identify it." ”

"Ahem!"

In an instant, Xiao Ding's inspiration flashed, and he suddenly understood: "What do you mean, Zhu Shao is ......"

The middle-aged man seemed to see through Xiao Ding's thoughts, and immediately interrupted: "Young master, he is not wrong, and it is impossible to make mistakes, you just need to keep this in mind." ”

"Uh......" Xiao Ding was stunned for a moment, and then nodded again and again: "Understood, we understand." ”

"It's good to understand." The middle-aged man nodded in satisfaction, and then smiled: "Is there any more questions?" ”

"No problem, no problem." Xiao Ding smiled: "We understand this, we know how to operate, although you can rest assured, please also ask Zhu Shao to rest assured......"

"Very well, that's up to you." The middle-aged man smiled, also took his hands, turned around and walked away.

As soon as the middle-aged man left, Xiao Ding's smile was closed, and he sighed dejectedly: "I said, how can you just take your eyes, but the remuneration is so much, and it is ulterior motives to dare to be affectionate." ”

"How?" Qi Xiang asked casually.

"What else do you need to say?" Xiao Ding said in a low voice: "This matter is clear, it is that Zhu Shao was cheated and bought this so-called ancient painting of the Tang and Song dynasties." ”

"But he wants to be embarrassed and refuses to admit that he was deceived, so he came to us and planned to whitewash it."

Xiao Ding shook his head and said helplessly: "What palm is just an excuse, what we really want to do is to 'find out' the 'evidence' that this thing is a 'treasure', and then spread it through our mouths." ”

"Isn't that self-deception?" Qi Xiang was a little crying and laughing: "Just take medicine, what's this." Quan Dang suffered a dumb loss, and he didn't say anything, so why bother. ”

"Shopkeeper Qi, didn't you hear, the thing was bought at a private auction." Xiao Ding said softly: "Any auction of this private nature is generally attended by the second generation of the powerful and rich. ”

"A group of boys have a party, can they sit down and drink and chat in a friendly manner?"

Xiao Ding pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "So the nature of the auction often changes, buying things is only secondary, fighting is more broad, fighting for the wind and being jealous or something, it is often commonplace." ”

"The battle of will is a face......

Xiao Ding Nao added: "It is estimated that this thing, it was at the auction, Zhu Shao was squeezed by other sons, and it was difficult to ride a tiger, or he was hot-headed, so he auctioned it off." ”

"Anyway, after the shoot came back, he regretted it, but face first."

Xiao Ding analyzed: "Many people know that he bought this thing, and if the thing is too scummy, he will be even more embarrassed." So in order to save face, he naturally had to ask someone to cover up and reverse the unfavorable situation. ”

"I've seen a lot of situations like this."

Xiao Ding seemed a little proud: "There are a few times, but I helped cover it up......"

When Qi Xiang heard this, he suddenly felt speechless. Thanks to him just now, he thought that there was some mystery hidden in this blank scroll. After doing it for a long time, it turned out to be just a game of the second ancestor.

For a moment, he lost his patience and waved his hand: "Since you have experience, then this matter will be handled by you, and I will go back first." ”

"Don't!" Xiao Ding hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and said with a shy smile: "Shopkeeper Qi, you are the key to this matter, I'm afraid I can't do without you." ”

"What do you mean?" Qi Xiang was a little incomprehensible
