When Yu Fei unfolded the broken scroll, Sumitomo Mitsui's face showed a look of disappointment. For any antique, one of the most important determinants of its value is its condition, and the better the condition, the higher the value.

And a piece in the upper left corner of this scroll has been torn off alive, leaving only a little red mark, and its condition is certainly not good.

Leaving aside the artistic value of this painting for the time being, it is a big problem to say that there is not a single word in this whole text. This makes it difficult to determine the date, and it is also difficult to examine the author, and it is difficult to estimate the value of the painting.

'It's a pity, it's a pity. Sumitomo Mitsui shook his head slightly and said.

'What's wrong?' Saori Mitsui asked nervously.

It seems that Mr. Yu is really not deeply involved in the collection of antiques. Sumitomo Mitsui said with some guidance: "For an ancient painting, its style is a very important aspect. Don't look at this painting, it's just a small piece missing, but it's just out of style, and its value is greatly reduced. ‘

Yu Fei nodded, of course he knew what Sumitomo Mitsui said. However, the reason why he chose this painting is not only because of its age (four or five hundred years old), but also because the painting is so good that even Yu Feizhang, a layman who knows little about art, can feel it. This is the most important reason why he bought this painting.

And Sumitomo Mitsui didn't find out for a while because of the shackles of experience.

'Mr. Mitsui, you are a big collector, can you see who made this painting?' Yu Fei asked. He believed that such a painting could never have been made by an unknown person, and he hoped that Sumitomo Mitsui would be able to see where it came from.

Yu Fei is sincerely seeking advice. But in the ears of Sumitomo Mitsui, it didn't mean that.

"Look at Mr. Lan Yu, he is going to take the school entrance examination, and the school is old." Sumitomo Mitsui said.

Yu Feixin said that this old thing loves to think more, so let him go, and Yu Fei didn't defend it.

'No money. Although it is difficult to identify, it is wishful thinking to stump old age. Sumitomo Mitsui confidently said, "There are many paintings and calligraphy in my collection, and I have treasured almost all of the famous Japanese painters (except for Yang such as Xue Zhou), so I also know a little about the characteristics of their style." ‘

Sumitomo Mitsui doesn't like to be competitive in this regard, and he doesn't like to exaggerate, but he is a fierce fighter in the face of flying. He wasn't even calm.

Of course, if the name of the painting is unknown, then the decay is also unrecognizable. 'The end. Sumitomo Mitsui added.

In his opinion, Yu Fei's painting is most likely to be in this situation, and the reason why the upper left corner is torn off is to cater to many people's thoughts of picking up leaks. It's just a matter of leaving them with more room for reverie.

Sumitomo Mitsui came to Yu Fei's side with a magnifying glass. He also said: 'All the works of famous artists have traces to follow. Some are in the layout, some are in the lines, some are thick and some are thin, some are as sharp as knives, some are soft as jade, some are thick, and some are light, which can be described as having their own characteristics. These features are an important basis for distinguishing authenticity from falsehood. Many people try to copy the shape as much as possible. But there is always something missing here or there. Of course, these are just some of the rudimentary methods. A more esoteric approach is to discern the verve in your work, but that's still a little too early for you. ‘

Yu Fei didn't speak.

Sumitomo Mitsui thought he couldn't wipe his face for a while, so he didn't blame him.

'This painting is pretty good in terms of the overall layout. And the penmanship ......'

Sumitomo Mitsui didn't continue, but his body suddenly bent down, and the whole person almost lay on the painting.

'No way, this can't be. Sumitomo Mitsui couldn't help but mutter.

'Dad, what do you say is impossible?' Saori Mitsui asked.

'Don't speak. What I didn't expect was that Sumitomo Mitsui, who had always been reluctant to speak loudly to his daughter, suddenly interrupted Saori Mitsui's words.

'Mr. Yu-' Sumitomo Mitsui turned to Yu Fei, "Can you tell me where you bought this painting?" ‘

'Dad! Didn't I just tell you? These paintings were randomly selected by Yu Fei and I from the antique market, why don't you believe it? ‘

Saori Mitsui said helplessly.

Today's Sumitomo Mitsui seems to be a bit unusual.

But Sumitomo Mitsui obviously didn't believe his daughter's words, and he even thought that the painting was a high-priced piece that Saori Mitsui took Yu Fei to some antique shops, and only said that he bought it at an exhibition to fool himself.

Faced with Sumitomo Mitsui's questioning, Saori had to explain the situation again.

Sumitomo Mitsui shook his head and sighed, "Mr. Yu, I have to say that your luck is too good!" ‘

'Daddy, what the hell are you trying to say?!' Finally, Saori Mitsui couldn't help it.

'Okay, okay, look at your urgency. Sumitomo Mitsui said helplessly: "The artistic value of this painting is very good, if I look at it well, it should be a famous imitation of the works of Yang such as Xuezhou, and the imitation is very similar, almost to the extent that it is fake." It's worth a lot. Sumitomo Mitsui said.

'Xuezhou waiting for Yang? Saori Mitsui said incredulously, "Dad, are you sure you're right?" This is the second time that Saori Mitsui has questioned her father.

'You kid. Sumitomo Mitsui said, "Although I don't have any works by Xue Zhou and other Yangs, I have studied them quite a bit, and the characteristics of his works are still clear. Every aspect of this work has reached a very high level, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is fake. ‘

Dad, since it can be confusing the real with the fake, is it possible that this painting is the authentic work of Mr. Yang such as Xue Zhou? Saori Mitsui guessed boldly.

"It can't be!" Sumitomo Mitsui flatly refused.

What's impossible about that? Saori stubbornly said, "Although he has few works, it's not like there is not even one, right?" If there is, why can't it be this one? ‘

'yes, why didn't I think of that?' Sumitomo Mitsui patted his forehead and said.

As the psychological shackles opened, the more Sumitomo Mitsui looked at it, the more he felt that the painting was like a real painting by Yang such as Xue Zhou. But it's so incredible that even Sumitomo Mitsui can't believe his eyes and experience.

The skillfulness of this method, the beauty of the composition, and the boldness of the splash of ink are probably only possible for Mr. Yang such as Xue Zhou, even if they are deliberately imitated by later generations, they cannot be imitated. Sumitomo Mitsui muttered to himself, "But, impossible, how could Yang's works such as Xue Zhou appear at an ordinary exhibition and be bought by Yu Fei at an ultra-low price of less than 100,000 yen?"

Thinking of Zhou Wen's painting just now, Mitsui Sumitomo's face changed, he turned to Yu Fei, his momentum became aggressive, and he shouted: "Mr. Yu, don't pretend, are you teasing the old decay by doing this!" ‘

It may be possible to buy more than a dozen works of art at a trade fair, and take out a painting by Zhou Wen at random, because there is never a shortage of luck in the collecting world, and Sumitomo Mitsui often hears about such and such and such things that have been missed, although there are few of them, but they are not new.

So when Yu Fei just said that it was "luck", Sumitomo Mitsui also believed it.

But this one turned out to be the work of Yang such as Xue Zhou! Although Sumitomo Mitsui is not sure yet, this possibility is still very high!

The upper left corner of this painting is missing, and there is no sense of style, and Sumitomo Mitsui will not look at it again even if he happens to bump into it.

It is such a painting that Yu Fei picked out from the vast artworks of the fair, which can no longer be explained by luck.

There is only one possibility, that is, this Yu Fei does not rely on luck at all as he said! He's a well-hidden expert at all, and what he just said is simply teasing himself!

Pity yourself being teased by a young man in his early twenties and not knowing it, if this is said, where should I put my old face?

'Daddy, what do you say?' Didn't I tell you? Yu Fei was really lucky to buy this painting. Seeing this, Saori Mitsui hurriedly explained.

But where is Sumitomo Mitsui willing to believe it? He didn't ask for Yu Fei's permission, but quickly identified the remaining more than ten antiques, this time he was a little stunned, he couldn't even explain everything he saw!! (To be continued......)
