Chapter 670: True When False Is True (Continued 3)
After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Uncle Wu said with a smile: "It's true, but I think the most important thing is that it is influenced by the crowd, of course, Ma Laocai's poor character is also a big factor." If it weren't for Ma Laocai's poor character, it is estimated that someone would have bought it back. ”
Chu Chen also smiled: "This is also his own doing, of course, if Ma Laocai is not such a character, this kind of good thing will not be able to talk about me." ”
"Brother-in-law, if this painting is genuine, how much can it be worth?" Lin Guangxin asked next to him.
Chu Chen shook his head: "This work is a masterpiece made by Zhao Mengfu in his later years, at this time his character is already a mature 'Zhao Ti', plus this "Luo Shen Fu" should be said to be Zhao Mengfu's representative work, and its meaning is still a little special, so the price is really not easy to estimate, but in general, there must be more than 10 million." ”
Although a price has been given before, a famous work like Zhao Mengfu, especially a masterpiece of extraordinary significance, is really hard to say about the value of the market, because if this thing is auctioned, it will definitely be sought after by many people, and then compete for it, and no one can think of the final transaction price.
"Thousand ...... Million! When Lin Guangxin heard what Chu Chen said, his jaw was about to fall in shock, of course, except for Uncle Wu, the other people around him were no better.
After a long time, Lin Dacheng came back to his senses and muttered to himself: "I spent 450,000 yuan, and in a blink of an eye, it became more than 10 million, this money is too easy to make a little money!" ”
Seeing Lin Dacheng's somewhat heart-warming appearance, Uncle Wu said: "Dacheng, this kind of thing in the antique industry is unavoidable. I've been doing this for 20 years, and if Xiaochen is really so easy to encounter. I've become a billionaire a long time ago, why should I worry about Xiaoke's tuition before? ”
Lin Dacheng heard this. After thinking about it, I laughed a few times embarrassedly.
Uncle Wu smiled slightly, knowing that his words had worked, you must know that the water in the antique industry is really too deep, and if a person like Lin Dacheng enters this industry rashly, there is a chance that nine out of ten will be swallowed, and there will be no bones left. He didn't want to say that when Lin Dacheng's family broke his fortune, he would have to complain about Chu Chen.
Because they were going back to Beijing tomorrow, everyone decided to rest early, Chu Chen put away the hand roll and put it back in the box, at this time, Uncle Wu said: "Xiao Chen, I think it is prudent to let Liu Lao help take a look at this "Luo Shen Fu" again!" ”
Chu Chen nodded and said, "Yes." The accumulation of my calligraphy and painting appraisal is not enough, and I will definitely show it to the master when I go back. If you want to come to the master, he will definitely be interested. ”
"That's for sure, Liu Lao's word is Zhao Mengfu, how can he not be interested?" Uncle Wu said with a smile.
"Hmmm! Tomorrow we'll go back. Summoning Uncle Zhao over with us......"
The next day, Chu Chen and the others got up early in the morning after breakfast. Chu Chen first helped Aunt Wu's eldest brother take the pulse, and then asked, "Uncle." Are you really going to go to the capital with us? ”
The old man smiled and shook his head, indicating that it was difficult to leave his homeland. I don't want to go to the capital.
In the past few days, Chu Chen and others have also persuaded the old man several times, but the old man is more stubborn and has never agreed.
Seeing that the old man still didn't agree, Chu Chen didn't plan to persuade anymore, the reason why he wanted to bring the old man to the capital was also to facilitate acupuncture, after all, Wucheng didn't have an airport yet, so there was no way to take a plane over, and a trip back and forth would take some time.
Now the old man refuses, Chu Chen can only run when the old man wants acupuncture, fortunately, the old man's treatment is mainly based on medicinal stones, supplemented by acupuncture, and he doesn't have to come often.
Of course, the reason why he is no longer persuaded is not the main reason at all, the key is that the old man's current physique is too weak, Chu Chen is afraid that the old man's body will not be able to stand it after a long journey, since the old man will not go, he will not be worried.
Besides, if he really can't come back by then, he still has a prescription instead of acupuncture, but the prescription is still lying in the book, and there has been no clinical trial, so if it is not impossible, he does not want to test it on the old man.
As for Old Man Chu, Chu Chen did not use medicine to replace acupuncture, but in the process of acupuncture last time, he found a relatively strict condition, of course, it was not caused by his treatment, but the previous lesions he did not find.
Now the old man Chu can only take medicine first, and then he can do acupuncture when he is stable there, as for the time, Chu Chen estimates that it will take one to two months.
After saying goodbye to Lin Dacheng's family, Chu Chen began to travel long distances again, and when they returned to the Yuhuating in the capital, it was already nearly two o'clock in the afternoon.
Because he had called in advance, Zhao Xueyi was already waiting for them in the living room, and when he saw the appearance of Chu Chen and the others, he said: "Xiao Chen, you have been on the road for several hours, you should be tired, and you should wait until tomorrow to identify the matter of Liu Lao's appraisal." ”
Hu Yong muttered on the side: "Originally, I wanted to go, but Brother Chu didn't agree!" ”
Chu Chen scolded with a smile: "You guy, I think you're going to be a father, take care of you, let you go and accompany your family Xiaoping more, are you still happy?" ”
"This is my job, and Xiaoping also supports me!" Hu Yong said with words.
Chu Chen smiled: "Yes!" It seems that you just want me to be an evil landlord! Then I can only fulfill you from now on! Anyway, you're going to Jinling, so come with me on Saturday! ”
The reason why Hu Yong wanted to go to Jinling was also because the bodyguard he found for Chu Chen was in a small town not far from Jinling, which was a stopper.
Everyone laughed, and Hu Yong also responded with a smile: "Okay! ”
After laughing, Chu Chen asked Uncle Wu, "Dad, what do you think?" ”
Uncle Wu smiled and waved his hand: "I've been walking all the way, although I'm a little tired, but it's okay to see if you appraisal." ”
"Then let's go to my master's side!" Chu Chen said.
"Okay, let's go......"
The three of them came to Liu Lao's side and unexpectedly found that there were still guests on Liu Lao's side, and one of them, Chu Chen, also knew that it was the old man who specialized in calligraphy and painting that he met at the exchange meeting organized by the Beijing Antique Association (Chapter 317).
In addition, there was a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old next to Ou Lao, this person had a bookish air on his body, and his clothes were very decent, Chu Chen's first impression was that this person should be either a university lecturer or a professor.
After saying hello, Liu Lao briefly introduced the two sides, and sure enough, as Chu Chen thought, the middle-aged man's surname was Zheng, and he was an associate professor of the Department of History of Beijing University.
Liu Lao said with a smile: "Ah Chen, you came just in time, come and take a look at this calligraphy work of Zhao Mengfu." ”
Hearing this, Chu Chen and the others couldn't help but be slightly stunned, they came over to prepare for Liu Lao to appraise Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy works, but they didn't expect that the purpose of Ou Lao and the two was the same as them.
Seeing the somewhat surprised looks of the three of them, Liu Lao asked, "What, is there any problem?" ”
Chu Chen smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, then I'll take a look first......"
With that, he put on his gloves and stepped forward. When he saw the whole picture of the work, he realized that the work in front of him was also a handscroll, but it was different from his "Luo Shen Fu", which was a calligraphy work, and the content was "Taishang Wuji Mixed Yuan One Temperament Wonderful Sutra".
And there is a little difference that there are a lot of collection seals on this work, and Chu Chen counted them carefully, and there were as many as fourteen. However, although there are many collectors, a closer look reveals that these collectors are basically small collectors in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and some of them are still father and son.
In the identification of the authenticity of calligraphy and painting tablet art, the role of collection seal is quite large. The most famous seal of the bell collection is the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, many Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasty monuments, Song Tuo solitary book, all Chang Ling has "Qianlong Imperial Treasure", "Qianlong Appreciation", "Yi Descendants" and other seals, showing the history of this batch of calligraphy and painting has been collected by the emperor.
From the Ming and Qing dynasties to the Republic of China, there were also many high-level connoisseurs, and the reliability of the calligraphy and paintings stamped by them was greater. For example, Xiang Zijing's "Tianyi Pavilion" in the Ming Dynasty, Dong Qichang's "Xuanxiang Zhai", Liang Qingbiao's "Banana Forest" in the Qing Dynasty, Anqi's "Yizhou Collection", Gao Shiqi's "Jiangcun", and the "Xuzhai Treasure" of the Republic of China and the National Yuanji are all valued by the collection circle.
However, the collection seal is only used as a reference basis, and the collection seal does not mean that the work is genuine, especially the collection seal of some small families, and the role of calligraphy and painting identification is not so great. The reason is also simple, the person's eyesight is not very good, how credible can the results of the identification be?
Looking at the handwriting again, although Xingshu and regular script are two fonts, since they are both written by Zhao Mengfu, the styles of the two sides should be the same, but after reading the "Luo Shen Fu", and then the calligraphy work in front of him, Chu Chen felt that although the two were similar, they were similar at most, and in terms of inner spirit, the difference was too far. ……
With a number in his heart, Chu Chen raised his head, and Ou Lao hurriedly asked, "Xiao Chu, how is this work?" ”
Chu Chen glanced at Liu Lao before answering, and the other party said with a smile: "It's okay, you just say it!" ”
Chu Chen nodded and said, "Seniors, then I'll say it directly, I think that although this work is good, it can't reach the height of Zhao Mengfu!" ”
Professor Zheng didn't look at Chu Chen differently because he was young, he frowned and said: "I also know that this work is too different from Zhao Mengfu's later style, but judging from the inscription, it was only thirty-seven years old when Zhao Mengfu was thirty-seven years old in the twenty-eighth year of the Yuan Dynasty, which was the early stage of his calligraphy career. ”
The style of Zhao Mengfu's early and late periods is very different, and the early works are recognized as fakes, and there are many of them, just like Zhao Mengfu's two-body "Thousand Character Document", which is more controversial. I think this work of mine should not be judged on the basis of Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy style in the later period......" (to be continued......
