The floor tiles are as bright as mirrors, reflecting dazzling light. The curtains are half open, the breeze is gentle, and the pendants of the crystal lamps collide back and forth, making a crisp sound of "ding ding dong".

Qi Ying wore plain clothes, sat at the desk, held a brush in his hand, and copied Buddhist scriptures on the paper intently. The word is like its person, dignified and elegant, and generous.

Halfway through the copy, there was a gentle knock on the door, and the aunt stood at the door respectfully: "Sister Qi, Mr. Lin is here!" ”

"Let him in!"

"Okay!"

When the words fell, Lin Zixian appeared at the door and bowed: "Sister-in-law!" ”

"Come in, sit!"

Qi Ying put down the brush and stretched her waist again, her demeanor was demure and elegant, and her tone was gentle and pleasant: "Did you bring something?" ”

"Brought!"

Lin Zixian sat opposite the desk and took out a carved lacquer box, although it could be seen at a glance that it was a handicraft, but it was in good condition and antique.

When I opened the lid of the box, it was the Song version of the book.

"It is not only a forgery, but also a rare handwritten copy of the Ming Dynasty, or a ritual note, which just fits the temperament of my sister-in-law."

Don't want to say compliments like money, Lin Zixian rolled his eyes, pushed forward gently, and the book arrived in front of Qi Ying.

"It's just a matter of seeing things and thinking about people, after all, there aren't many things left behind by your brother!"

Sighing, his slender fingers brushed over the cover: "Make a price!" ”

Lin Zixian thought for a while, stretched out his palm and spread out his five fingers: "Fifty million!" ”

Hah, how much?

Do you really dare to ask for it, or do you think that I look like an idiot?

The country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, even if he lives for another forty years, Lin Zixian still can't change this character of seeing money and forgetting righteousness.

"Then you can keep it!" She smiled lightly: "But can you let me watch it for a few days?" Well...... Half a month, and then it will be returned to you as it is! ”

I just said that I think about things, how can I say that I don't want it?

Too expensive...... Then you're paying a price?

"Sister-in-law, it's not that you can't ...... negotiable"

"There's no need...... In addition, I will call the bank and give you half a month, if you agree, let this go first? ”

is still in an inquiring tone, with a shallow smile on his face, but Lin Zixian understands very well: Okay, okay, if it doesn't work, you will take things and leave.

He was dumbfounded suddenly: If you turn your face, you will turn your face, and it hasn't changed for ten years?

was angry for a while, but there was nothing he could do: he was also in a daze, and knocked the sticky stick on Qi Ying's head...... She's not stupid?

I knew it would have been 10 million......

Don't look at it as only half a month, what Lin Zixian lacks most now is time. If you're lucky, maybe you'll be able to find one or two treasures from the things left by your eldest brother, and you'll be turned over?

"Okay......"

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Zixian nodded, and then got up, "That sister-in-law, you are busy!" ”

"Good!"

Qi Ying also stood up and smiled again, but his feet didn't move for half a minute.

It's already good, when his eldest brother was still alive ten years ago, she could have a good face, and Lin Zixian had to be moved for a long time.

Things are not people, people go to the empty building, Qi Ying's demeanor is still the same, but he is living more and more back.

Secretly sighed, Lin Zixian turned around and left, and gently closed the door.

Qi Ying flipped open the cover, his brows furrowed slightly, and he fell into deep doubt.

In the past, as long as the ancient books brought back by Lao Lin were collected in this room, not much, from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty fifty or sixty copies, although I did not turn them one by one, but at least remember the title of the book.

I also have the impression of this book in my memory, as if it was placed in the middle of the second shelf. I can't remember exactly what year I brought it back, what year it disappeared, whether it was given away or sold.

But how do you think about it, it shouldn't be a fake copy?

Li Ding'an said it conclusively......

After pondering for a long time, she picked up her phone and clicked it a few times.

As soon as the screen lit up, the video began to play: the angle of view was a little high, densely packed with human heads, and Li Dingan was surrounded in the middle.

"Let's talk about the open secret: the Forbidden City also has fakes!"

……

"This one should be Xiang Molin's handwriting!"

……

"Paper from the Song Dynasty, ink from the Song Dynasty, silk thread from the Song Dynasty, and even ink ...... from the Song Dynasty"

……

"A family's collection, half of the Forbidden City's ......"

The voice is not slow, crisp and loud, with a shallow smile between the eyebrows, and the eyes are gentle but firm.

The video is very long, but most of the time it is Tibetan friends discussing, Qi Ying keeps clicking on the screen, only watching the part of Li Ding'an speaking.

In just two minutes, the progress bar reached the end, and Li Ding'an made a final decision: "Although it is a fake book, it should be the ...... that flowed out of the Forbidden City"

The voice is not loud, but it is extraordinarily determined, and it is full of confidence.

But why?

It is easy to understand that the flow from the Forbidden City is because of Qianlong's seal, and it is not difficult for top calligraphy and painting appraisers to identify authenticity.

But why is he so sure that it was imitated during the Wanli period, and even who imitated it dared to be sure: Xiang Molin?

Li Ding'an didn't say it, and he didn't even mention how to infer it, but the strange thing is that both Sun Mingfang and Ding Licheng agree with his conclusion?

Gradually, a long-term picture appeared in her mind, and she seemed to see Lin Ziliang back then: one hundred responses, every word is gold.

But Lao Lin is close to the age of confusion at this point, and how old is Li Ding'an?

The doubts deepened, and with a flick of his finger, a second video popped up on the screen:

The perspective is still very high, and there are still many people, but this time it is no longer Li Ding'an who is surrounded in the middle, but an old man with white hair and kind eyebrows.

Xiang Zhiqing, former vice president of Gome.

A little closer is a booth with a painting on it: a girl is only dressed in a thin veil, her figure is delicate, her skin is deceived by frost and snow, her eyes are full of affection, she wants to refuse and be ashamed, but she is full of charm.

Zhang Daqian's "Xizi Out of the Bath"!

On one side of the long case, Sun Mingfang frowned, and on the other side, Li Dingan talked eloquently:

"This sentence, 'Showa 29 years for lovers Kiko', although it is in Japanese, is a sail body with a unique Daqian style......"

"The following year, Zhang Daqian left Japan, lived in Brazil, built the 'Bade Garden', and called himself the Bade Mountain Man...... That's right, it's these four words on the seal......"

"Look at these two pieces of hair: one is horizontal in the right eye and one is vertical in the left eye, does it become 'Daqian'?"

Zooming in on the lens and looking at it again, the left is "thousand" and the right is "big", and there is no difference.

Everyone was stunned, Sun Mingfang was dumbfounded, and Xiang Zhiqing's eyes were slightly bright, showing appreciation.

Obviously watching the video, but it was like being there, Qi Ying also nodded twice: the heart is as fine as hair, and the eyes are as smart as a torch!

It can be seen from this video that Li Dingan's eyesight and appreciation level have long surpassed Sun Mingfang.

At that time, he only emerged and showed his edge, and Sun Mingfang had already been famous for many years and was a first-class calligraphy and painting expert in China.

It just feels ...... Pretty incredible?

His eyes flickered, his doubts turned into surprise, and Qi Ying continued to scroll down.

Eileen Chang's English manuscript "Lust and Caution......

Lin Huiyin's ghostwriting, Liang Sicheng's letter to Hu Shi, and the two stamps on the cover......

Flip again, it is Ren Bonian's "Water Margin Figures", and then turn it over, it is Wang Hui's imitation of Wang Shimin's imitation of Huang Gongwang's "Fuchun Mountain Daling Map".

Further on, there is Lu Xiaoman's box: above it is Lu Xiaoman's "Swimming Fish Picture" painted by himself, and "The Happiness of Snowflakes" written by Xu Zhimo himself.

Further back, it is the "melon pear picture" by the famous artist Ding Fuzhi of the Republic of China.

These basically cover all the calligraphy and painting works that Li Dingan has picked up since he stepped into this industry. Qi Ying only now knew why he said it, and how Sun Mingfang and Ding Licheng believed it, without the slightest question.

I understand the woman's intention of sending the video to her friends: Don't be lucky, Li Dingan said it was a fake book, and that was a fake book......

Looking at the time again, "Gua Pear Picture" is the earliest, and the oil painting a few days ago is the latest, and the process is much the same, there is not much difference.

At first glance, do you think that after such a long time, he has not grown much?

After a pause, Qi Ying was stunned: What do you think?

It's not that he hasn't grown, but at the beginning, he already has a very high appreciation ability, so it feels like there is no difference between before and after.

Every time it is fast and accurate, it can not only explain "where is the truth" and "why other experts miss it", but also explain the origin clearly.

It's not just a matter of high eyesight, but the amount of knowledge required has really reached a staggering level.

In an instant, Qi Ying remembered a popular phrase on the Internet: debut is the pinnacle!

So before that, why was it obscure?

In a panic, she picked up her phone again, and was about to make a call, but her fingers inadvertently touched the screen, and another video popped up.

And also?

Look at it again, there are two small words at the bottom of the video: identification!

It seems that except for this exhibition, he has never helped others see calligraphy and painting?

It may be something else......

Turning her mind, she clicked on it: this time it is not a surveillance video, but a live broadcast, but unlike in the past, only feet can be seen: Li Ding'an appeared on camera.

It's common to have a background, like in a hotel suite, with five or six conference tables full of stuff.

Li Ding'an's voice is still clear:

"Look at this one, the Qing Dynasty court master Leng Mei's "Lady Picture", whether the painting is good or not, how strong the pen is, whether the artistic conception is high, these are not to say, just talk about the material: but when it comes to color, it is all painted with modern industrial pigments......"

"Look at this one again, Wen Zhengming's great-grandson, Wen Congjian, a well-known painter in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, "Cloud Mountain Fog Cover", this one is ink and blue, there are not many places to color, but it is similar to the previous one: stabilizers, penetrants, wetting agents, preservatives, and fragrances in the ink...... Blah blah ......blah bla

The speed was extremely fast, and in only three or four minutes, he finished reading two paintings. Qi Ying was carefully identifying how he saw the chemical pigments and modern inks, and the camera flashed again:

"Next, let's look at this one, Shenyang Liangpinfang ......"

He had been to BEPIN, how could I not know?

In the midst of doubt, Qi Ying's eyes widened and widened: one hundred and sixty-one calligraphy and paintings, fifty-two genuine products, and the rest were all high-quality imitations.

Then, a huge map appeared in the video: the five words "The Panorama of the Imperial Opinion" are particularly eye-catching.

Next to it, there are many small characters, the title is "About the authenticity and reputation of the "Imperial Panorama" in the collection of the courtyard", signed by the Shenyang Forbidden City, and stamped with the official seal. Look at the content again: imitations, rayon?

The notice is not long, more than 200 words, and she has read it back and forth several times, including the apologies of several others.

Then, I fell into a deep confusion.

It's not just this map, it's not just the first time that a first-class expo organization has publicly apologized to individuals. Rather, more than 200 paintings, more than 400 pieces of porcelain, and countless miscellaneous items...... and, a whole Forbidden City.

Time, three days!

Not to mention seeing with your eyes, but scanning with a machine, is it so fast?

This is beyond the limits of what can be achieved by human beings, and it doesn't feel like a general absurdity. If it weren't for the red seal, Qi Ying would even wonder if it was fake news.

After being stunned for a long time, she turned out a number and dialed it out like a dream.

Ringing twice, the phone was connected, and a dry voice came from inside: "Hey! ”

"How come I don't know about Shenyang?"

"You happened to be abroad at the time, and of course you couldn't see it. Before you came back, the hot search was suppressed...... Not only the Forbidden City, but all the videos related to this incident were taken off the shelves, including the live broadcast screen recording under Li Dingan's own account, which was also deleted cleanly! ”

"Why?"

"Do you know how many people in Liao Province rely on this Forbidden City and rely on cultural tourism to eat?"

Qi Ying was silent, and remembered the situation when he asked Li Ding'an to identify this book: Teacher Li, I know you!

It's ridiculous to think about it now......

"Why didn't you send me these videos before?"

"No, you can see for yourself!"

Qi Ying was choked up and didn't know how to refute: if she didn't see it herself, even if she watched a hundred of these videos, she would only think that it was packaging and hype.

It's so unreal......

She sighed deeply: "The thing is here!" ”

"So fast, you bought it?"

"I wanted to buy it, but he asked for too much!"

"How much?"

"Fifty million!"

"Hehe, dogs can't change eating!"

"What are you going to do?"

"It's simple...... Well, you wait a minute......"

The sound was much quieter, like asking someone to go out, and there was a random sound of the door closing.

"It's simple, just leave it to the police...... This time it's not a breach of trust or restrictions on appearances, it's a matter of him having to sit in for a few years. When Lin Zixian is cornered, who else can he ask for but you and me? ”

"There's no other way?" Qi Ying was stunned for a moment, and her brows were twisted: "Why do you always like to take shortcuts, and ...... Still so violent? ”

"Where were you when I was following the rules and being gentle and kind?"

"I ......"

Qi Ying was speechless again, still speechless.

"It's decided, where's the thing?"

"At home!"

"I'll let Yanan get it!"

"You'll be ...... Instead of handing it over to the police, why not ask Li Ding'an for help? ”

"Li Ding'an?"

There was a long sigh on the other side, "Guess how much money I prepared to ask him for help?" ”

"How much?"

"Hehe, ninetymillion! So, please don't move...... But don't worry, handing it over to the police is no different from asking him......"

With a beep, the phone hung up, and Qi Ying was still staring at the phone: Nine hundred million?

Li Dingan picked up so many leaks, did he make so much? (End of chapter)
