Chapter 480: Calligraphy and Painting (I)

Chu Chen nodded with a smile and said, "I don't know if Mr. Cao can cut his love?" ”

Hui hurriedly replied: "Of course, of course! We'll talk about it later! ……”

Speaking of this, he asked the waiter to put away the painting and take it to his office, and then walked very politely to his office with Chu Chen.

Cao Hui's expression shocked the waiter, but she knew that this painting was Cao Hui's non-sale, usually no matter who opened his mouth, he had never sold it, and Cao Hui's ability was very great, in her eyes, it was already a hand-eye, and she really didn't see anyone dare to show Cao Hui because of this matter.

But even so, as soon as the young man opened his mouth just now, his boss immediately agreed not to say anything, and it seemed that he was still eager to give it away for nothing, which was really a bit subversive of her cognition, and at the same time, she was guessing Chu Chen's identity. ……

Cao Hui took Chu Chen to his office, poured Chu Chen a cup of tea in person, and then took out two red invitations.

"Chu Shao, this is an invitation from you and Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao said that you can bring this one of his to him." Cao Hui said politely.

Chu Chen opened the invitation and looked at it, the time of the exchange meeting was the evening of the 29th, and the location was located in a mountain villa in Xiangjiang. Closing the invitation, he put it in his bag, and then asked:

"Mr. Cao, when are we leaving?"

Hui Hui said with some apprehension: "This ...... Chu Shao, I have something at home recently, and I can't set off until the 26th, sorry! ”

When he said this, Cao Hui felt that his heart was dripping blood, what a good opportunity to climb to the big shot this time. As a result, he was ruined by his own family's losers, and he had the urge to beat his wife when he thought about it.

But Cao Hui only dared to think so. He would definitely not dare to take action, and this time it was his own problem.

The reason is actually simple. A qiē is because he raised Xiaomi a few days ago was discovered by his wife, and the family was turned upside down for a while, and finally he finally appeased his wife, of course, there are some additional conditions, and traveling abroad is one of them.

For this article, although Cao Hui is full of reluctance, but he can't agree if he wants to, in the end, he is now a qiē. Nine times out of ten, he relied on his father-in-law, and if he really got a divorce, then his current situation would be in vain.

Chu Chen was originally going to take Wu Ke to Xiangjiang for a trip, and he would definitely not have any opinion on this, so he waved his hand and said: "It's okay, let's just call at that time, by the way, I also want to ask, can I bring other people with this invitation?" ”

Cao Hui didn't mind seeing Chu Chen. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and then he hurriedly said, "Yes, one invitation can bring two people." ”

Chu Chen nodded, so it would be fine. Don't let him take Wu Ke with him, but Wu Ke can't go in, it will be embarrassing.

A moment later. The waiter just now walked in with a calligraphy and painting brocade box in his hand. Then he put it in front of Chu Chen according to Cao Hui's instructions.

"Chu Shao, you can take a look at the authenticity of this work first." said. Cao Hui made a gesture.

Chu Chen was not very polite, put on his gloves, and then took out the paintings in the brocade box, and after unfolding them, he carefully admired and identified them.

Therefore, Chu Chen already had a number of this painting in advance, and then, it didn't take much time for him to confirm that this was indeed a genuine product, and it was also a masterpiece created by Wu Dan.

Although this painting is good, the works of Wu Dan, a painter, are not very popular in the calligraphy and painting market now, so although this painting is good, Chu Chen's estimate is only about 1450,000 yuan.

"Chu Shao, how is this painting?" When Chu Chen put away the tools, Cao Hui hurriedly asked.

Chu Chen replied: "The painting is really good, it suits my heart, I don't know what the price of this painting is?" ”

Cao Hui thought about it, he didn't know much about Chu Chen's character, so this price was really a little difficult to open, in case the other party was more greedy, the high opening would definitely cause the other party's dissatisfaction, but in case the other party was clean, it would not work if the other party was clean, and it would not be good if the other party was low.

In the end, Cao Hui thought about it, let's open it lower, if Chu Chen is not satisfied, then it will be easier to remedy, so he said with a smile: "Chu Shao, you can come today, the small shop is also full of brilliance, even if this painting is 60,000, what do you think?" ”

Chu Chen smiled, he also understood what Cao Hui had in mind, waved his hand and said, "Mr. Cao, let's calculate it according to the market price, otherwise, I will be embarrassed to come over next time." ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, Cao Hui hurriedly said: "Chu Shao, if it is based on the market price, it will be too raw, I won't tell you, I paid 5,000 yuan for this painting, and I have already made a lot of money for 60,000 yuan." ”

"You can't say that." Chu Chen said with a smile: "We can't see the price that can be bought, you are low, in case someone buys a loss, how to calculate the price?" Okay, you can give a real price! ”

Cao Hui's eyes rolled for a moment, and then said: "Chu Shao, if not, I still have two paintings and calligraphy from the Ming Dynasty, if you are interested, I can take them out and show you, let's talk about this money later, what do you think?" ”

In this regard, Chu Chen of course said that there was no problem, no one would be idle with good things, but if Cao Hui had to transfer things to him at a cheap price, then he would definitely not accept it. After all, there is no merit and no merit, he is soft on people, and he eats people with short mouths, if Cao Hui asks him for something in the future, he will definitely be affected by this matter.

After a while, Cao Hui took out the two works he said, carefully placed them in front of Chu Chen, and then introduced them to Chu Chen, these two works, one is Zhu Yunming's cursive Qiuxing eight songs, and the other is Lu Ming's plum blossom brocade chicken picture.

When Chu Chen heard that it was actually Zhu Yunming's cursive script, his interest in this calligraphy work immediately increased greatly.

Maybe everyone is not familiar with the name Zhu Yunming, but if it is another name, Zhu Zhishan, everyone must understand who this is.

As one of the four talents in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Zhishan, can poetry, calligraphy, especially its wild grass is quite praised by the world, has been spread "Tang Bohu's painting, Zhu Zhishan's words" this saying. Therefore, when Chu Chen learned about the cursive script of Zhu Zhishan in front of him, he couldn't wait to slowly unfold the scroll.

However, when this cursive work was displayed in front of Chu Chen, he couldn't help frowning, this calligraphy work gave him a rather strange feeling, the style of the characters was indeed very similar to Zhu Zhishan's, but there was a lack of charm in it.

This point, if you haven't carefully appreciated Zhu Zhishan's works, you may not feel it, but for Chu Chen, who has admired two authentic paintings of Zhu Zhishan in Liu Lao's place, it is clearly felt. Therefore, he immediately realized that the work was most likely a fake.

Of course, the identification of antiques, one is one, two is two, and it is not necessarily said that it feels wrong, and a work is judged to be a fake. So Chu Chen directly took out a magnifying glass and began to observe it carefully little by little.

Cao Hui is still quite eye-catching, although he didn't see a trace of abnormality on Chu Chen's face, but now Chu Chen looked a little solemn, which still made him feel a little wrong, which made him nervous immediately, you must know that this work was bought by him for two million dollars, if it is a fake, it will be a heavy loss.

After more than twenty minutes, Chu Chen put down the magnifying glass in his hand, and seeing this, Cao Hui hurriedly asked:

"Chu Shao, is there a problem with this cursive work of Zhu Zhishan?"

Chu Chen didn't say any nonsense, and directly handed the magnifying glass to Cao Hui and said, "Mr. Cao, look at the four words "kui, thin, scales, and parrot" on it. ”

Hearing this, Cao Hui hurriedly took the magnifying glass, leaned over and looked at it carefully, at first he didn't see anything unusual in it, but after a few more glances, his face suddenly became surprised, and finally the whole person was a little confused.

After a long while, Cao Hui came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "Thank you Chu Shao for your reminder, but did you say it would be an accident?" ”

"What do you think? And it's not just these four words on this work, if you look at these words, it's the same. Chu Chen asked rhetorically, and then pointed out a few words.

Cao Hui hurriedly stepped forward to observe them one by one, and finally had to smile bitterly: "That's true, but how can this work be a fake, obviously the style and the bell seal are also right!" ”

It turns out that although this work looks like it is indeed like that, but there are a few words in it that are likely to be written by the person who wrote it in place, if you look closely, you can see that there are traces of copying and repairing, so it seems a little unnatural, and if this work is indeed the work of Zhu Zhishan, then there will definitely be no such phenomenon.

Some people may say that this is not necessarily, after all, in ordinary life, it is normal to make mistakes.

But don't forget, Zhu Zhishan is a master of calligraphy, and judging from the inscription, the writing time of this work is in 1523, when he is sixty-three years old, and the calligraphy is already very old, how can there be so many words in a work that are not written in place? Ordinary people know that this is an unlikely thing to happen.

Chu Chen explained: "Mr. Cao, you should know that Zhu Zhishan has a lot of forgeries, among which his grandson Wu Yingmao is the most similar to his words, which can be confused and true, even if it is an expert, it is difficult to distinguish. I think this work is likely to be Wu Yingmao's work, and it is possible to leave a real seal! As for the knowledge, I think there is still a question mark. ”

Cao Hui has been in the calligraphy and painting business for a long time, and of course he doesn't know Wu Yingmao, so when he hears this name, in addition to a wry smile, he really doesn't know what to say. (To be continued......)
