After listening to what Liu Lao said, Liu Qinshu couldn't help but nodded.

Now it is believed that there are about seven or eight of Dong Yuan's hand-me-down works, but at that time, painters generally did not sign their paintings, so the appraisal of later generations was only based on the judgment of relevant records, and only "Creek Bank Map" was the only one that had a signature.

However, the mountain stones on the "Creek Bank Map" in the metropolis use the layer-by-layer rendering technique since the Tang Dynasty, instead of using the drape and linen pioneered by Dong Yuan, which is also the main reason why there has been a debate over whether "Creek Bank Map" is Dong Yuan's work for so many years.

Now I have found a "Creek Bank Map" using the technique of draping linen, although it can be more proved that the previous "Creek Bank Map" was not made by Dong Yuan, but it cannot be completely thought that the previous "Creek Bank Map" must not be made by Dong Yuan, which is precisely because Dong Yuan's works have been handed down to the present, only this one work has been signed.

However, as Liu Lao said, if you want to prove that the previous "Creek Bank Map" is indeed Dong Yuan's work, you must come up with more ironclad evidence, otherwise it is just wishful thinking.

However, even if the previous "Creek Bank" is a facsimile or imitation, it does not damage its value, after all, its artistic achievement itself is very high, and it is not much inferior to the original.

Just like the debate on the authenticity of the previous calligraphy of Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" has been protracted and all parties have no agreement. However, the artistic achievements of "Orchid Pavilion Preface" are extremely high, and it is not an exaggeration to call it "the first line of books in the world", and all parties have reached a consensus on one point.

However, compared to Liu Qinshu's slight suspicion of this work, Chu Chen's heart firmly believed that this work must be Dong Yuan's authentic work, and he would not lie to him in terms of the estimation of value and the judgment of age.

"Xiao Chu, you really can't say this luck, you can pick up two big leaks when you buy a house, this "Creek Bank Map" can be said to be a national treasure-level cultural relic, the value is needless to say, so the money of a house was picked up by you like this, I have been playing antiques for so many years, why haven't I encountered such a good thing?"

Liu Qinshu said to Chu Chen with envy on her face, Chu Chen's luck is really homeless, she has nothing to say, buying a house like this can pick up a big leak, and there are two, she has never seen this kind of thing since she was a child.

Chu Chen scratched his head and said, "Hehe, maybe this is the blessing I have accumulated in my previous lives." ”

After Liu Lao heard this, he said with a smile: "It seems that Xiao Chu, you were a great and good person in your previous lives, but Xiao Shu, you have a wrong sentence, how can such a work be measured by money?" Xiao Chu, if it were you, would you be willing to use it to exchange for a villa? ”

Chu Chen hurriedly shook his head and said: "If you don't change it, even if it's in the haode house, I won't change it, the house and money are just a part of life, as long as it is enough for your own living needs." Besides, the house and money, as long as you work hard, you will be able to earn it sooner or later. But a painting like this is usually impossible to encounter, let alone begging, how could I do such a thing as picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelons. ”

Liu Lao Haha smiled and said: "Xiao Chu said well, Xiao Shu, you have to learn more from Xiao Chu's attitude, you are too utilitarian, and everything is measured by money." If you don't change that, you'll never be a collector in the future. ”

When Liu Qinshu heard this, he couldn't help but retort: "Dad, I'm not as unbearable as you said, and you don't know how many collections I have now." ”

Liu Lao shook his head and said, "Do you think that you can become a collector with more collections?" If that's the case, then anyone who is rich can become a collector, and you think, how much do you know about your collection? ”

"Let's just say you've been trying to pick up the leak, and I'll tell you a story I heard from my friend."

"Once, my friend was entrusted to sell a bronze mirror, but he knew a little about the bronze mirror of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but the bronze mirror in his hand was from the Jin Dynasty, so in the end he helped his friend sell it for 60,000 yuan."

But it didn't take long for the person who bought the bronze mirror to sell the bronze mirror to a friend in Beijing for 160,000 yuan, and made 100,000 yuan. A few months later, my friend saw the bronze mirror again at an auction with a price tag of 360,000 yuan, and finally sold for 400,000 yuan. ”

When Liu Qinshu heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "That's him stupid, since he doesn't know Weishenme, why don't you ask others?" ”

Liu Lao smiled and said, "Yes, Xiao Shu, what you said is indeed a solution, but have you ever thought that he would sell it for 60,000 yuan?" ”

Liu Qinshu pondered for a while and replied, "He should have taken the price of bronze mirrors from the Han and Tang dynasties as a reference." ”

"Yes, he just took it for granted that he sold the bronze mirror with the price of the Han and Tang Dynasty bronze mirrors as a reference. Then let me ask you again, do you know how much the hexagonal bottle of blue and white folded branches of flowers you bought back the year before last can be worth now? ”

"This ......"

Liu Qinshu frowned and pondered for a while, and said with some hesitation: "I bought 410,000 at that time, and now there should be 600,000, right?" ”

Liu Lao shook his head with a smile and said, "Look at it, you still talk about picking up leaks all day long, no, you didn't pick it up yourself, you were picked up by others!" Xiao Chu, I'll test you, do you know the price of this hexagonal bottle? Speaking of which, he told Chu Chen the data of the hexagonal bottle.

Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "The price should be around 1.18 million." ”

"Oh? Weishenme said so? ”

Chu Chen smiled and said: "When Hanhaichun in the capital was auctioned last month, there was a hexagonal bottle, which was similar to Aunt Liu's, and it was photographed for more than 1.18 million at that time. ”

"Huh?"

Liu Qinshu exclaimed, and then said a little unconvinced: "Dad, if I hadn't gone on a business trip to Shanghai that time, how would I not know the price of my hexagonal bottle!" ”

Liu Lao smiled and said: "Then you say all day long that you want to pick up leaks, what is leakage, for example, it is to buy back a treasure worth tens of thousands of yuan or even higher." The chance of picking up the leak is equal for everyone, but you must have enough knowledge and vision to be able to catch the opportunity. ”

"Just like you, you don't even know the value of your own things, and you still want to pick up the leaks? You want to say that you were not on a business trip before, but as long as you have the heart, can't you find a way to know the price? Even if you don't have time at the time, you can't find out about it for so many days after you come back? ”

"How can you become a qualified collector with such an attitude to study?"

A few questions in a row, Liu Qinshu's expression was embarrassed, his father was right, his attitude towards antiques was indeed too casual, and he really lived up to his father's perennial teachings.

"Dad, I'm sorry to disappoint you, in fact, think about it, my personality is too lazy, and it's really not suitable for in-depth study in antiques."

Liu Lao smiled, shook his head, and said: "You, you are still a little self-aware, but it's a pity, your senior brother only knows research and knowledge, and he is too rigid, although your second senior brother is flexible, but he puts making money in the first place, and I don't know who can inherit my mantle!" ”

Speaking of this, Liu Lao looked at Chu Chen with a smile, which couldn't help but make Chu Chen's heart pound, could it be that Liu Lao was ready to accept me as an apprentice? But if he asks me if I want to, how should I answer? Is it a little more tactful, or just agree?

"Xiao Chu!"

"I ......"

Chu Chen was still fantasizing that Liu Lao was going to accept him as an apprentice, and suddenly heard Liu Lao call him, and almost shouted the words "I do", but fortunately, he reacted quickly and took the words back, otherwise he would be a big fool.

Liu Lao couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Chu, what did you say?" ”

Chu Chen's face was slightly red and said, "I have a stomachache, I want to go to the bathroom." ”

After speaking, before Liu Lao and them responded, they hurriedly ran out, and while running, they wailed in their hearts, this time it was really ugly, Chu Chen, why did you drop the chain at a critical moment, and I don't know what Liu Lao will think!

Seeing this situation, Old Liu's father and daughter couldn't help but hahadaxiao, but they didn't expect that Chu Chen, who had always been calm and calm in front of them, would also have such a time.

After a few minutes, Chu Chen walked back calmly, of course, he was just acting calm now, his heart was actually very nervous, what he was most afraid of now was that Liu Lao and they would lose their impression of him because of this matter.

In fact, Chu Chen is completely concerned about chaos, how could Liu Lao and the others be dissatisfied with him because of this trivial matter? On the contrary, they also felt that Chu Chen was like a young man's performance, and what Chu Chen showed in the past was too old and lacked a little bit of the vitality that young people have.

After Liu Lao saw Chu Chen come in, he asked him with a smile: "Xiao Chu, it's okay, do you want Xiao Shu to find you a few pills to eat?" ”

Seeing this, Chu Chen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly shook his head and said, "No need, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore, xiexie, your concern." ”

"Hehe, it's okay, let me ask you, what are you going to do with this "Creek Bank Map"?"

Chu Chen didn't think much about it, so he replied: "I definitely want to collect it, but the transformation over there hasn't been completed yet, so Liu Lao, you just bother, so I'll put the things here for you first." But it's so valuable, and I'm a little uneasy to get it for nothing! ”

This "Creek Bank Map" can't be placed in Uncle Wu's place, but the things are so valuable, put them there, Uncle Wu will have trouble sleeping and eating, so in order not to worry him, it is better to put it on Liu Lao's side.

As soon as the words fell, Liu Lao understood what Chu Chen meant, and said secretly, he really didn't see the wrong person, Xiao Chu didn't belong to himself with peace of mind because things were precious.
