It is clear that this middle-aged man wants to embarrass Ye Fan.

After all, Ye Fan had just been out of the limelight, how could he bear it?

Facing the provocation of the middle-aged man, Ye Fan squinted his eyes slightly, and his eyes were stained with frost.

On the side, Liu Piaofu frowned and whispered: "This mural looks quite old, it should be from the Ming and Qing dynasties, if you are not sure enough, I am afraid it will be difficult to identify."

After all, the mural is different from others, it only depicts the life of the owner, and there is no introduction in any words, so it is impossible to determine the identity of the owner from this.

But Ye Fan smiled slightly, "The mural is the most direct description of the life of the owner after his death, although there is no inscription on it, as long as you know enough history, you can find clues in this mural."

Looking at Ye Fan's confident smile, Liu Piaofu became more and more puzzled, could he really judge the specific identity of his owner from this mural? Isn't that too unrealistic?

Ye Fan got up slowly and walked lightly to the mural.

Looking up at the middle-aged man, he smiled slightly: "If you find that there is a problem with this mural, I wonder if Your Excellency will make amends to me?" I'm not a treasure connoisseur, but I'm not something your antique association can drive at will."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, with a touch of gloom.

He didn't expect that Ye Fan would suddenly attack.

Sneaking a glance down, Zheng Zhiyuan nodded at him.

got Zheng Zhiyuan's affirmative reply, and the middle-aged man suddenly became confident.

"I wonder what compensation Mr. Ye wants?"

In his opinion, it doesn't matter if he agrees to Ye Fan, after all, he is still very confident in this mural.

The corners of Ye Fan's mouth raised, and he said lightly: "If there is a problem with this mural, I want two positions in your antique association, how about it?"

If you want to gain a firm foothold in Jiangcheng, the Antique Association is an insurmountable existence.

Therefore, Ye Fan must take the Antique Association into his own hands.

And this time, it is a rare opportunity.

"Two locations?"

The middle-aged man frowned, the price was too great, Rao was confident in the mural, but he didn't dare to make his own decisions.

Instinctively wanted to go to see Zheng Zhiyuan, but saw that Zheng Zhiyuan had already walked over slowly: "Since Mr. Ye values the Antique Association so much, we naturally want to satisfy Mr. Ye, what do you say?"

The middle-aged man nodded heavily: "What the president said is that I also think that Mr. Ye is very suitable for our Antique Association."

After making a decision, everyone's eyes fell on Ye Fan's body, waiting for him to identify this mural.

Lei Lao also stepped forward slowly at this time, and whispered in Ye Fan's ear: "This mural is not contemporary in terms of painting skills or the pigments used, no accident, this mural is genuine, why did you agree to Zheng Zhiyuan so easily?"

If Ye Fan can't identify that there is a problem with this mural, then it will inevitably be put on the line by Zheng Zhiyuan and them, and it will be Ye Fan who will be embarrassed at that time.

Moreover, with the character of these people in the Antique Association, they will inevitably take advantage of the topic, and when the time comes, it will bring endless trouble to Ye Fan.

Knowing that Lei Lao was worried about himself, Ye Fan smiled and did not answer Lei Lao, but pointed to the mural.

"Judging from the costumes, headdresses and other characteristics of the characters in this mural, the mural should belong to the Qing Dynasty, because the Qing Dynasty people all wore big braids and half-truncated heads.

Without the slightest drag, Ye Fan pointed straight to the point.

Looking along his fingers, it was indeed as Ye Fan said, an attendant with big braids and a bald head on the front half of his head.

"Look at the decoration of this mount, it is carved with a dragon pattern, a dragon's tail and five claws, a symbol of the emperor, and this dragon has teeth and claws, which is magnificent, which is also the characteristic of a dragon only in the Qing Dynasty."

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, dragons were exclusive to the royal family, the difference is that the dragons of the Ming Dynasty are slender, while the dragons of the Qing Dynasty are mighty and domineering, which is related to the nomadic origin of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty.

nature

With domineering and heroic, therefore, the dragon ornaments of the Qing Dynasty are all like this.

"Combining these two points, it can be judged that this is an imperial hunting picture, the protagonist's hair and beard are gray, and it can be judged that this person is over sixty years old, and throughout the Qing Dynasty emperors, there are only two people who live to be over sixty years old, Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong, but after Emperor Kangxi was sixty years old, his health was very poor and he couldn't ride a horse to dabble at all, so this painting is a hunting picture of Emperor Qianlong."

A little bit of analysis, peeling off the skin, Ye Fan actually analyzed the owner of the mural with just one painting, at this moment, Ye Fan's analysis shocked everyone, and Rao is Lei Lao couldn't help but be shocked.

Looking at Ye Fan's eyes, he was full of admiration.

In order to do this, it is not enough to be careful in mind, but also to have a wealth of historical knowledge.

From these two aspects alone, it is enough to see Ye Fan's strength.

"Mr. Yip is worthy of being a leader in the antique industry, and this analysis has made us admire it a lot, but this does not prove that there is a problem with this mural, on the contrary, if Mr. Yip appraises, the value of this mural is high."

Zheng Zhiyuan stepped forward, looked at Ye Fan and said with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Ye Fan also sneered: "President Zheng, don't worry, I just analyzed and analyzed this mural, let's take a look at the details of this mural."

As he spoke, he saw Ye Fan take out one of the fragments.

"Look, everyone, the side of this mural."

The fractures are uneven, but the traces of the painting can still be clearly seen.

"What else can you see here besides the fracture?"

The middle-aged man asked puzzled, with mockery in his words.

saw Ye Fan shake his head and point to the fracture.

"If this mural is from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, then there are 400 years ago, and the dye will definitely soak into the stone wall 400 years ago, and you can see from this fracture that the dye did not soak in at all, but only covered the surface, so it can be seen that the mural will not take too long to complete."

Rao is a dye is thick, but after all, it is a liquid, and the painting on the stone wall will inevitably be immersed.

Hearing Ye Fan's words, Lei Lao was suddenly stunned, walked quickly to the fragments, and examined them carefully.

"Sure enough, as Ye Fan said, there are no traces of dye infiltration in the fractures of these broken stone slabs, which does not conform to the characteristics of ancient murals."

Lei Lao Man was shocked, he was still worried about Ye Fan just now, but after just a few breaths, Ye Fan solved it perfectly.

"Perhaps, this is a special dye, but it would be too far-fetched to say that there is something wrong with this mural, just that?"

The middle-aged man was unwilling to argue.

Indeed, it is a bit far-fetched to judge the authenticity of the dye only by whether it is immersed in the stone wall.

Looking at the gloomy gaze of the middle-aged man, Ye Fan hooked his lips and smiled.

"Do you want proof, I still have it here."
