"Okay......

Ma Laocai smiled, and scolded in his heart: "This kid has too many eyes, and he has to guard against this kind of thing!" ”

Chu Chen said this, he really wanted to prevent Ma Laocai from taking the opportunity to change things, you know, this kind of thing is not uncommon in the antique industry.

For example, a buyer is in the seller's home, sees a pastel porcelain vase, and after careful identification, finds that the thing is genuine, and wants to buy it. The seller then diverts the buyer's attention and quickly replaces the item with an identical-looking fake, which the buyer is unprepared for and falls for it.

When the buyer finds out that he has been fooled and wants to settle the account, of course the seller will not admit it, or simply go to the empty building.

For a person like Ma Laocai who is the trading partner, Chu Chen certainly has to guard against this kind of thing.

Not to mention, Ma Laocai really had such an idea just now, the cabinet can't be changed, but the four chairs can still be replaced, although this is only a few thousand yuan, but for a person like him who forgets his righteousness, a few thousand yuan also has a very fatal attraction to him.

The person called by Ming Mazi was nearby, so it didn't take long to arrive.

Chu Chen instructed them to fold down the cabinets one by one, and then carefully moved them to the courtyard first. Actually, he originally wanted to move everything out, but the key was that Ma Laocai had to go to the bank to transfer the account, and he couldn't help it.

Chu Chen asked the people called by Ming Mazi to wait in the courtyard for a while, and here, Ma Xiaoqiang also took out the things.

This calligraphy work is a handscroll on silk, and the work is relatively long, so Ma Xiaoqiang carefully spread the handscroll on the long table. Just spread it all over the place.

Chu Chen looked at the side and found that this was a large block work.

Regular script in terms of size. It is divided into small and medium letters. There are three kinds of large letters. Xiaokai, the ancients called it "real book", also known as "fly's head fine book". Generally speaking, the size of the small block is usually between one and two centimeters square, while the size of the large block is between four and six centimeters, and the middle block is somewhere in between.

Finding that it was actually a large block work, Chu Chen frowned, this is because Zhao Mengfu's "Luo Shen Fu" has a total of six versions. In addition to one of the forgeries, there is also a version of the 1301 (5th year of the reign of Dadeok) (Junqingguan Fa Ti), and the authenticity of this version is not known now.

Just now, Chu Chen thought that Ma Laocai had collected this version, but after a glance, he realized that it was not at all, which made him a little disappointed.

Of course, Zhao Mengfu has many calligraphy works in his life, and it is impossible to leave every one of them in the record. But then again, a work as famous as "Luo Shen Fu" was written by Zhao Mengfu Xingkai and collected by someone. Secrets, Chu Chen felt that it should not be rare.

This was the first question mark that arose in Chu Chen's mind.

Secondly, there are very few seals on this "Luo Shen Fu". In addition to Zhao Mengfu's "Zhao Ziang" seal, there are only three collection seals. And there are only a few eight words at the end of the book, "Ziang small characters, delicate and beautiful", but this is obviously a big block. What about "small print"?

Moreover, these eight characters are Zhu Zhishan's evaluation of Zhao Mengfu's small characters, but it is Zhu Zhishan who writes the tail, which can't help but make Chu Chen wonder, could it be that Zhu Zhishan will still write the calligraphy in large block letters and write it as "small characters"? That's a little too sloppy, right?

In addition, Chu Chen's handwriting of Zhu Zhishan always felt a little awkward, he had seen the authentic handwriting of Zhu Zhishan in Liu Lao before, and now these words are compared to the real handwriting, and he always feels that the momentum is too much.

After discovering this feature, Chu Chen immediately picked up a magnifying glass, stepped forward to observe it carefully, and soon, he found several of the problems and guessed whose handwriting it was. This made him shake his head slightly.

Ma Laocai's father and son have been paying attention to Chu Chen's expression, and when they saw him shaking his head, their hearts were also tight, and they all thought: "This kid is a little too powerful, can he even identify calligraphy?" ”

The reason why they thought so was because they thought that Chu Chen didn't know how to appraise calligraphy and painting at all.

Before, Chu Chen's watch made Ma Laocai mistakenly think that he didn't know much about the appraisal of furniture, which made him think that since Chu Chen was so young, it was definitely impossible to be all-encompassing in all aspects of antiques, so he thought of taking out this calligraphy work. Unexpectedly, Chu Chen actually saw the problem, which made the two of them really depressed.

Ming Mazi has also been paying attention to Chu Chen's expression, seeing this, he looked at Ma Laocai's father and son again, and hurriedly leaned in and asked, "Chu Shao, is there something wrong with this thing?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said: "I haven't seen it yet, but this tail is a little strange, Zhu Zhishan actually writes the big block as 'small characters'." ”

Ming Mazi has a low culture, and he doesn't understand this kind of thing, but because of the movie, Zhu Zhishan still knows it, one of the four great talents in Jiangnan, and his reputation is very high. In addition, he doesn't understand what the big block is, but he can simply understand it as a big character, and say that the big character is a small character, not to mention a celebrity like Zhu Zhishan, even he won't be so stupid.

Thinking of this, Ming Mazi said, "That can't be fake, right?" ”

Ma Xiaoqiang was anxious when he heard this, and said loudly: "What is fake, how can such a good word be fake?" ”

Ming Mazi also said angrily: "Why are you talking so loudly, since what you said is true, how could Zhu Zhishan make such a mistake?" Do you think others are as stupid as you? ”

Ma Xiaoqiang opened his mouth and said, "Uh...... I'm not Zhu Zhishan, how do I know what Zhu Zhishan thinks? Besides, we have compared it with the real work of Zhuzhishan in the museum before, and it must be the real thing! ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "The real works in the museum will be the same as this?" You read that right? ”

Ma Xiaoqiang wanted to say something, but Ma Laocai waved his hand to stop it, and then said: "Chu Shao, depending on what you mean, do you think this word is not the true handiwork of Zhu Zhishan?" In that case, can we ask for advice? ”

"Don't dare to ask for advice, let's learn from each other! I will talk about the characteristics of Zhu Zhishan's writing. ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Generally speaking, Zhu Zhishan likes to use the center as the main pen, supplemented by the flank, sometimes the middle and the side are used, and the pen is more hidden and the front is pressed, forming a hidden head and tail, and the gesture is calm and happy. But the tail on this work, although the shape is similar, but compared with Zhuzhishan, it is too much, which is different from the real work I saw. ”

Ma Laocai's father and son heard Chu Chen say this, and pretended to go up to take a look, and then showed a sad look, in fact, they already knew that they were just pretending to do this now.

"How so!" Ma Laocai's face was distressed, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

If it was someone else, then he would definitely think that Ma Laocai really didn't know about it before, but Chu Chen was not so easy to fool, he did see a trace of astonishment in the eyes of Ma Laocai's father and son just now, but it was not for this calligraphy work, but for him. In other words, Ma Laocai's father and son were actually surprised that he could see the problem.

The facts are the same as Chu Chen thought, Ma Laocai and his son felt that Chu Chen had ruined their plan to make a fortune, and they were scolding their mother in their hearts, and after scolding for a while, Ma Laocai and his son sighed secretly, and they all said in their hearts, can this thing only be sold cheaper?

Speaking of which, Ma Laocai was also heartbroken for this work, and originally spent a lot of money to buy it in order to make a fortune, but from the time he got it to the present, he has not sold it, not to mention a large amount of money, and he has moved many times.

The origin of this "Luo Shen Fu" can be traced back to two years ago.

That was a week after Ma Laocai pit Ren Qiang, at this time, Ma Laocai's selfish and mean temperament has spread all over the antique world in Wucheng, and usually except for some uninformed ordinary customers, there are basically no people to patronize his shop.

However, this qiē was a floating cloud for Ma Laocai, and he was in a very comfortable mood at this time, because what he had obtained from Ren Qiang had been sold by him to one of his old customers in the capital for 128,000. Fifty-five thousand buys, twelve hundred and eighty-eight sales, and makes more than 70,000 yuan, how can he not be happy?

That day, after Ma Laocai had lunch, he lay on the recliner and was about to squint for a while, just when he was vague, suddenly from Ren Qiang's shop next door, there was a sound of quarrel, which immediately woke him up, and then ran out to sneak a look for a while.

It turned out that it was an old man who said that he had taken an ancestral calligraphy and wanted to sell it, but Ren Qiang didn't see it and euphemistically said that he would not accept it, but the old man felt that although Ren Qiang said it tactfully, the meaning was there, and he felt that the other party said that his things were not true, and he felt very uncomfortable, so he was a little unrelenting.

Of course, it was impossible for the old man to insist on selling things to Ren Qiang, so he walked out of the door after a while.

Seeing this, Ma Laocai was a little curious about what the old man was holding, so after the old man walked out of Ren Qiang's store, he beckoned to the old man.

This scene happened to be seen by Ren Qiang, so he snorted coldly and was about to walk back, but just after a few steps, he rolled his eyes, and went back to observe Ma Laocai's movements a little.

Ma Laocai and the old man were polite, and he didn't forget to say a few bad words about Ren Qiang, and the old man also echoed a few words, which made Ren Qiang angry, at that time, he really wanted to rush up and fight with Ma Laocai, but in the end he endured it.

Then, the old man took out the things, and Ma Laocai saw that it was a handscroll, not to mention, and it was actually Zhao Mengfu's regular script "Luo Shen Fu", which made him overjoyed.

Speaking of which, Ma Laocai is basically half-hearted about the appraisal of calligraphy and painting, although he usually collects it, but it is generally based on the old Cheng dù of things, and there are some simple methods to identify, so if it is the work of other famous artists like Zhao Mengfu, he will definitely not dare to make up his mind to accept it.
