"How about this painting?" Tang Chen got a landscape painting, which seemed to look pretty good, but Zhou Xuanying shook his head. "Isn't it pretty?" Tang Chen was a little stunned, he felt that such a painting was not bad, after all, he couldn't draw it.

"I'm not saying it's bad, it's that I don't understand it. Zhou Xuanying generously admitted this. And the guy who was waiting on the side smiled and said, "You don't know, this is Shi Tao's painting!"

"Shi Tao?"

Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, "Wouldn't it be a painter of the Qing Dynasty again?"

Shi Tao was a painter in the early Qing Dynasty, originally surnamed Zhu, called Zhu Ruoji, and had many aliases, such as Da Dizi, Qingxiang Old Man, Bitter Melon Monk, Blind Venerable, and he was also a monk, so he also had many Dharma names, such as Yuanji, Yuanji, etc. Shi Tao's ancestor is amazing, he is the son of Zhu Hengjia, the king of Jingjiang in the Ming Dynasty and the emperor of Yuanzong of the Southern Ming Dynasty, and Hongren, Zhu Qi, and Zhu Qi are collectively called the 'Four Monks of the Early Qing Dynasty'. Zhu Qi, you should know, right? After the Ming Dynasty clan, he was nicknamed 'Bada Shanren'. ”

Zhou Xuanying nodded and said, "I know this." ”

"So you should understand, how powerful this painting is, right?" The guy looked smug, I have to say that his storytelling skills are as good as Boss Liu's, no wonder he can be a buddy in "Jubao Zhai". "You see how smooth this method is, the mountains and rocks, waterfalls, flowing springs, point trees, and clouds are all outlined with one stroke. Look at this mountain stone again, with square hard, thin, turning lines outline rubbing, slightly light color rendering, it seems that the ink is dripping, moist and thick. Recently, it is pointed out with a thick ink broken brush, lush and green, with branches and leaves; behind the trees, the houses are covered, Coats is reading, poetic and high-spirited, the overall brush and ink style is thick and fine, it is really a rare fine painting, it is not fake painted by Shi Tao himself...... Well, as for the seal, it's a little blurry, but it's been a year after all......"

But Tang Chen just listened to it, and he wouldn't be so stupid as to really believe that this was really an ancient painting. "Then the asking price should be a lot of money, right?" Tang Chen asked casually, but it was a problem for this guy.

In the antique business, one must maximize profits, and the other must also measure the customer's wallet. If the lion opens his mouth and scares customers away, the business will not be successful. Therefore, it is necessary to do antique business - well, it should be said that it is a necessary skill to do fake antiques.

This guy thought, just now the owner bid 1.5 million, these two people are too expensive, so how much should the price be appropriate? Before he could say a price, Tang Chen spread out another painting, and said in surprise: "Yo, there is still Zhao Mengfu's character here......?" Wow, this is Tang Bohu's painting, and Dong Qichang's painting? Tut-tut, unexpected, unexpected, you're really gathering a lot of treasures......

As soon as these words came out, the face of the "Jubao Zhai" guy turned a little red. He couldn't figure out if Tang Chen was complimenting, sarcastic, or genuinely complimenting. Others don't know the details of the "Jubao Zhai," but he still doesn't know it? Just as Zeng Lao said before, 99 percent of the things in this "Jubao Zhai" are fakes or imitations, and there are almost no genuine products.

In fact, normal people can also see what Gao Cen, Shi Tao, Zhao Mengfu, Tang Bohu, Dong Qichang are...... If there is a genuine piece, the "Jubao Zhai" has already been sent. So Tang Chen also understood that there must be a lot of imitations here, and it can even be said that all of them are fakes. As the so-called smart man speaks, he doesn't need to bother, and the guy pleaded in a low voice: "You two, you just know it in your hearts, don't be too public." This treasure, I am not afraid of thieves stealing, but I am afraid of thieves worrying, in case ......"

Tang Chen would listen to his nonsense, and slowly opened the painting he liked.

The paper of the old paintings that have been rolled into picture scrolls is a little rough. Under Tang Chen's slow motion, the painting gradually appeared. The more Tang Chen looked at it, the more strange it became, and after opening it halfway, Tang Chen suddenly realized: "What did I say, it turned out to be a statue of the God of Wealth!" Tang Chen's "Sanhe Ju" also enshrined a statue of the God of Wealth, which is the image of Zhao Gongming, known as the God of Wealth.

And this statue of the God of Wealth is the portrait of the five gods of wealth gathering, these five gods of wealth, it is generally believed that there are the so-called "God of Wealth" Zhao Gongming, "God of Wealth" Bigan, Fan Li, "God of Martial Wealth" Guan Yu, "God of Wealth" Wulu God, Lishi Xianguan. On this painting, the five gods of wealth are sitting and standing in order of rank, and there are many immortal officials and fortune boys next to them, and the appearance is okay, but the color is too bright, and it doesn't look like an antiquity.

The guy hurriedly said, "Boss, this painting is wrong......"

"I think this painting is very good, festive!" Tang Chen said with a grin, "It's not like those landscape paintings, which are all black." Look at how festive this big red is, and how majestic this Saint Emperor is? Oh, I know, this must be a statue of the God of Wealth!"

The guy had to bend his mind and said, "That's right, that's right, it's the God of Wealth, or the God of Wealth of the Five Roads gathering, it's very good." Just ......"

"Xiaoying, what do you think of this painting?" Tang Chen gently pinched her arm and asked softly.

Zhou Xuanying was stunned for a moment, and when she just wanted to speak, Tang Chen gently pressed it on the palm of her plain hand again, and she also came to her senses: "It's not good, this seems to be a bit vulgar......"

This guy never expected Zhou Xuanying to say this, but he was a little anxious: "Actually, this painting is not expensive, that is, 5,000 yuan......"

Tang Chen smiled: "This painting is very good, but it's not worth five thousand, right?"

Gao Haikang on the side sneered: "Can't even give up five thousand yuan?"

As soon as Tang Chen wanted to say something, two more customers came in from "Jubao Zhai". Gao Haikang was in no mood to argue with Tang Chen, and asked with a scowling face: "Why did you go, for so long?" I waited for almost twenty minutes!"

"Young master, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road...... This is a master Meng who specializes in appreciating calligraphy and painting, and is extremely famous in the industry. "The person who bowed down was obviously Gao Haikang's subordinate, and he was really groveling enough. And the middle-aged man standing on the side, who is quite stylish, should be the so-called Master Meng.

Gao Haikang finally suppressed his anger, and said in a sullen voice: "Master Meng, I invited you here today because I want you to help identify a painting, and I will reward you a lot later!"

Master Meng said lightly: "Mr. Gao, if you take people's money, you have to do things for others, this is my principle. ”

"Okay, this is a landscape painting by Gao Cen imitating Beiyuan's brushwork, can you identify it?"

Tang Chen glanced at Boss Liu, and when Gao Haikang said this, his expression was extremely unnatural, and his Adam's apple moved and swallowed his saliva.

"It looks like it won't be genuine!" Tang Chen also had a number in his heart, and continued to bargain with his buddy over this statue of the God of Wealth. In the end, this guy had no choice but to turn to Boss Liu for help.

"Boss, this painting sells for a thousand yuan, can it be sold?" the guy asked in a low voice holding the statue of the God of Wealth.
