After the secret of the treasure chest compartment was revealed, Dong Tianyue did not rush to tell his grandfather, but wrote the matter in the yellow wax sealed notebook to prevent his family from having no trace to follow after an emergency.

For the next two days, Dong Tianyue was playing with his grandfather. The old man and Gao Yide were invited to come to the new house bought by Dong Tianyue as guests. During this period, it was inevitable to make an assessment of Dong Tianyue's carving, calligraphy and painting, collection, and appreciation, and the assessment results were still very gratifying to the old man, and he commented: "Well, it has indeed reached the third-level 'integration' level!" ”。 At lunchtime, the old man also deliberately looked at the mugwort leaf green seal that Dong Tianyue bought in the antique city, and nodded again and again, saying that it was a big leak.

After playing in Wenzhou for two days, the old man received a call from home, saying that a mysterious Tibetan friend was visiting and asked him to rush back. The old man didn't say who it was. It's not good to ask too much. Early in the morning, Dong Tianyue, Liang Hua, Gao Yide and his son reluctantly sent the old man on the plane.

On the day the old man left, Mu Xiyan happened to come back.

That morning, Yide Auction House ushered in a meaningful appraisal of calligraphy and painting. This appraisal is the first time that Dong Tianyue has shown his skills in public, and the significance is extraordinary.

At half past eight in the morning, Wen. Zhou Yide Auction Company. The atmosphere in the general manager's office was serious, with several appraisers sitting around a long conference table, and a painting in the middle.

The door opened, and a middle-aged man in his fifties entered, wearing a white plaid shirt and a red tie, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and an anxious expression.

"Manager Hua!" Everyone stood up and greeted the middle-aged man respectfully.

"How's the result going?" Manager Hua walked to the manager's position and sat down, glanced at everyone's faces, and then stared at the painting spread out on the table with deep eyes.

"There's still controversy." Gui Yumeng, the manager of the calligraphy and painting department on the left-hand side, said. This antique belongs to the category of calligraphy and painting, and it belongs to Gui Yumeng's side.

"What, is it really possible that it is a high-imitation painting?" Manager Hua said with an ugly face.

"We've been arguing for more than an hour, and no one can convince anyone!" Gui Yumeng said.

"This painting is very important, it is related to the reputation of Yide Auction, there can be no mistakes, I think it is better to wait for Mu Xiyan to come, what time is her plane, why hasn't she arrived yet?" Manager Hua said in a hurry.

"When she gets off the plane at seven o'clock, she will come back to wash up." Gui Yumeng said.

"Mu Xiyan!"

As soon as Mu Xiyan's name was mentioned, Gui Yumeng's heart was sour, this woman who made her jealous and had to admire.

Mu Xiyan, a national cultural relics appraisal appraiser level 8, is now a part-time artist, helping with the appraisal of the Spring and Autumn Auctions. She is a graduate of the Gemological Institute of America with a Ph.D. and is highly skilled in artifacts and gemstones. It can be said that in the entire Wenhua City, Mu Xiyan is also one of the top appraisers. Especially in antique calligraphy and painting and gem identification, the skill is very amazing.

What is even more amazing is that such a person with superb identification skills is only twenty-five years old, and he is very beautiful. The tall figure, snow-white skin, melon seed face, apricot eyes, curved eyebrows, small nose, slightly upturned lips, and bumpy figure make all men fall in love with it!

Mu Xiyan is very arrogant, rarely speaks, and works seriously and seriously. In Gui Yumeng's eyes, Mu Xiyan is a very cold and glamorous person, and her assistant Su Ziyun is the same.

Half an hour later, Mu Xiyan finally came, her beauty and charm shocked the audience, and no one dared to blame her for being late. She was followed by her assistant Su Ziyun.

"Xiyan, you're finally here! This painting is please, he is Lang Shining's work, the chairman called and asked again and again, and named you to palm your eyes in person, you must not make any mistakes! Manager Hua got up and smiled.

"I'll do my best." Mu Xiyan said coldly.

Mu Xiyan sat down next to Gui Yumeng, took the painting in front of her, and began to appraise it, while the other appraisers watched quietly, waiting for her appraisal results to come out.

Mu Xiyan took a closer look at Lang Shining's work, the painting depicted a puppy under the flower stone, the dog in the painting has a strong realistic color, and the mountain stone is biased towards traditional Chinese painting techniques. The overall perception is indeed a combination of Chinese and Western Lang Shining style, in the upper part of the frame, the upper left and the lower right respectively, there are "the treasure of Qianlong Yulan" and the seal of Emperor Jiaqing and Sanxitang, and in the next line of italic small characters say: "Chen Lang Shining Gong painting".

"Is it really Lang Shining?" Mu Xiyan sighed in her heart.

Yanjing Zhongjia 08 autumn auction Lang Shining painted "Yongzheng December Old Summer Palace Xingle Tu" sold for 158.4 million yuan, and the rest of his masterpieces were also sold at a price of more than 10 million yuan.

Lang Shining likes to draw dogs and beasts, and has painted more than a dozen dog pictures for various famous dogs to pay tribute to the emperor as "models", which is "Ten Horse Dog Pictures". If this painting is genuine, it will be priceless!

Mu Xiyan certified and tasted from all aspects of paper, style, penmanship, inscription, and inscription, and looked at the appraisal opinions of several appraisers, and said with white eyes to Gui Yumeng on the side: "Teacher Gui, how can you carve a seal with your fingernails?" If this is the real thing, it will not detract from the perfection of the work! ”

"Oh, this, I also did it out of necessity, and now I know that the seal is no problem." Gui Yumeng said embarrassedly. In order to identify the authenticity and destroy the original appearance of the original work, it is really taboo for the masters of authentication.

Mu Xiyan first used a high-powered magnifying glass to look at it, and then used the microscope handed over by Su Muyan to magnify 40 times to look at the blank space of the painting. Under the microscope, the lines displayed on the paper are in the shape of a "lattice".

"The style is right, the penmanship is no problem, the paper is old, the ink is also old, the ink is also right, a few stamps are also fine, and the ink spots of inkjet printing are not seen in the blank space, but I always feel that something is wrong, what is going on?" Mu Xiyan wondered.

Everyone looked at each other, it seems that beautiful connoisseurs also encounter problems! It is no wonder that the two appraisers of the appraisal department specializing in calligraphy and painting, one of them is also the chief appraiser of Yide, plus several appraisers of the calligraphy and painting group, some of them say that it is true and some of them are false, and they are arguing endlessly.

"Manager, I need a little time." Mu Xiyan sat on the chair and held her face in contemplation.

"No problem, we can wait!" Manager Hua worried.

Assistant Su Ziyun took out a Lang Shining color album and laptop from her work bag, put them in front of Mu Xiyan for her to spare, and sat aside to help compare and taste. An hour later, Su Ziyun frowned and said, "Sister Yan, you still can't find any flaws!" ”

Mu Xi nodded helplessly, frowned, and said, "Well, how can this be, I obviously feel that something is wrong, why can't I find evidence!" ”

Gui Yumeng saw that Mu Xiyan couldn't identify the authenticity after working for a long time, and she was secretly happy in her heart: "Hmph, aren't you capable?" I can't identify it, this time it's up to you how it ends! ”

Manager Hua said nervously: "Teacher Mu, what's the matter, even you can't determine the authenticity?" ”。

The company spent 4 million yuan to collect this painting, and the deposit alone paid 1.8 million, and if it was fake, it would be a big loss. If it's genuine, it shouldn't be a problem to shoot tens of millions, but the commission alone is millions!

Mu Xiyan didn't speak, and looked at the painting again. This time she was really helpless, something she had never encountered before. The painting seems to be right in every way, but there is a little bit of something wrong!

Odd!

Manager Hua looked nervously at Mu Xiyan, who was frowning, but Mu Xiyan didn't say a word, and almost everyone looked at Mu Xiyan. She felt a little hot on her face, and it seemed that it was difficult to get off the stage. She is a beauty who thinks very highly of herself, and this is the first time she has encountered a difficult identification scene.

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open, and in came a young man dressed in casual clothes, with short hair and a pair of dark eyes, looking in.

"Who are you? How did you get in? What about security? Manager Hua said unhappily.

"He's new to our calligraphy and painting group." Gui Yumeng said, and then glared at Dong Tianyue fiercely, meaning why did he come?

Dong Tianyue didn't mean to be late, he sent the old man to the airport and was delayed. He obviously didn't expect that there were so many people in the manager's office, and Manager Hua was also inside, seeing that everyone looked at him stupidly, Dong Tianyue's expression was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say.

"Your manager is in a meeting, and I'm looking for her in the afternoon if there's anything." Manager Hua said. Manager Hua thought that Dong Tianyue was here to find Gui Yumeng, and the newcomer really didn't understand the rules!

Seeing that Dong Tianyue didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, Manager Hua added: "Teacher Mu is appraising antique calligraphy and paintings, and needs to be quiet, there is nothing for you here, you can go out!" ”

Seeing that the manager was serious and wanted to drive him away, Dong Tianyue had to do something. Who has ever called him so much since he was a child? He wanted to directly say that it was his senior brother Gao Yide who approved it, but when he thought of how he first came, Manager Hua scolded him so much, his face was a little difficult to get off the stage, and his heart was blocked. How can the Dong family be looked down upon, you really don't take me seriously if you don't show your hand?

Dong Tianyue ignored the manager's words, but pretended to casually glance at the painting on the table, looked at Mu Xiyan and smiled: "I'm sure that no matter what method you use, you won't be able to identify the authenticity of the painting!" ”

"You know what, get me out!" Manager Hua was a little angry, how dare this person ignore my orders? Moreover, this is 4 million calligraphy and paintings, how can it be your turn to make irresponsible remarks as a new employee? What if I offend Miss Muda?

"Do you have a way?" Mu Xiyan said coldly, looking at Dong Tianyue with contempt in his eyes. The man who dared to talk to her like this, Dong Tianyue was still the first.

In the future, when it comes to appraisal kung fu, which man doesn't shoot her Mu Xiyan's ass? But today, such a newcomer dares to question her identification skills? What else do you say, no matter what method you use, you can't identify the authenticity of the painting, how much does this hurt people's self-esteem?

"Of course I have a way, isn't it Lang Shining's work!" Dong Tianyue still ignored Manager Hua, stood still from a distance, his eyes only glanced down, and he didn't even seem to see the painting on the table clearly, so he knew that it was Lang Shining's? His words surprised everyone, especially Mu Xiyan.

"You actually know Lang Shining? Do you know how to draw? Well, then you might as well take a look. Mu Xiyan was surprised, and at the same time wanted to see if Dong Tianyue really understood?

"This can't be messed around, he's a newcomer who knows what kind of painting, it's terrible to break it!" Manager Hua said uneasily.

Gui Yumeng said: "Manager, it doesn't hurt if you just say a few words to him." ”

With so many people present, it was difficult for Gui Yumeng to say that Dong Tianyue had been specially cared for by the chairman. But Manager Hua looked down on her subordinates, and Gui Yumeng, who was protecting her short, had to stand up and say something.
