If it were someone else who was told what was on their mind, they would definitely find various excuses to explain.
If you can't explain it, you will probably end up blushing.
However, the embarrassment on the white-haired old man's face was fleeting. He immediately shook his head and denied, "I don't know, how could I know? If I knew, I wouldn't come to the store for identification. Your store charges a lot of money. It costs several thousand yuan to appraise a painting, so it’s easy to make money.”
Seeing this, Shen Yu smiled and didn't waste any time on the appraisal fee.
I looked at my watch and saw that the time had already reached 10:30 a.m., so I couldn’t waste any more time.
A big shot like Xiao Zhongying doesn’t know what kind of entertainment he will have at noon, and he might suddenly leave with just a phone call.
Shen Yu felt that what he had to do now was to race against time.
Well, if you race against time to authenticate this painting so clearly that no one can find fault with it, then joining the Chuzhou Collection Association is naturally a matter of course.
Thinking of this, Shen Yu stepped back and drank the tea handed over by Xu Duofu in one gulp, and then put on his gloves again with a focused expression, "Actually, you don't have to be surprised how I saw the problem with this painting. After all, I am a Professional appraiser.
"If you have any other questions, feel free to ask."
The old man hummed softly, and then a very unpredictable smile suddenly appeared on his face, "I still have the same question as before, I want to know how you can see the extra layer of my painting at such a young age. ”
Shen Yu had actually expected that the other party would inquire deeply, so he immediately said what he had carefully considered in his heart, "The first layer of this painting is indeed very well done as you said, but this layout is definitely not done by a famous artist. ."
"Oh? Can you tell me in detail?" The white-haired old man continued to ask.
Shen Yu nodded and said: "The ancients said: It is difficult to draw one floor and one pavilion. If there are ten steps on the first floor and five steps on the pavilion, there must be many intersperses, many layouts, many strange styles, many marquees, sills, railings, etc. Surrounding the pavilion.
"It is covered with flowers and trees, and the path is uneven. If you make a mistake, you will not be able to enter.
"This is the mistake made on the first floor of the painting. If you look at the first floor and one pavilion alone, you can say that the cornices and corners are exquisitely elegant, but if you look at three or five of them together, you will..."
Before Shen Yu could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by the white-haired old man, "Let's take a look. Is there anything missing?"
The two big guys who were watching, whether Mr. Xu or Xiao Zhongying, also looked at Shen Yu, as if they were looking forward to Shen Yu's answer.
Hearing the white-haired old man's question, Shen Yu was stunned at first but then shook his head: "It's not that there's something missing, it's that there's more!"
"Too many?"
The three old people in the room actually said these two words in unison.
Even a shrewd and steady person like Xiao Zhongying is still full of surprise.
"Yes, Tang Yin's painting style is harmonious in brush and ink, and the layout is clear and clear. The layout of the pavilions on the first floor of this painting is barely suitable, but the weeping willows, ancient trees, flowers, and stone paths painted in the middle of each building are superfluous. It makes the whole painting look a lot bloated, and this alone is definitely not what everyone did.
"In other words, since so many pavilions have been painted in this villa, don't paint too many old trees, weeping willows and flowers and plants in the middle of the house, as this will make it look overcrowded."
When Mr. Xu and Xiao Zhongying heard what Shen Yu said, they couldn't help but look at each other, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
But the white-haired old man had an indifferent expression, and he retorted: "The ancients painted pavilions with flowers and trees alternated with trees and rocks. Isn't it normal to add some flowers and plants? And I can't see you. What do you mean by crowded?"
Shen Yu smiled: "The flowers, plants, trees and rocks in the ancient paintings are different in shade, size and position. The plants in this painting are all the same. The trees are the same, the flowers are the same, the trees are the same, just like printed matter. ,Does the old gentleman think that Tang Yin’s painting skills are so poor?
"The title of the most talented person in the Ming Dynasty and Jiangnan was not earned by oneself, but earned by one's own true strength.
"And after the painting was finished, the author still felt that it was not fake enough, so he simply added a fake seal of "Jinling Jieyuan".
"However, the wonderful thing about this painting is that it only covers half of it. It is half real and half fake, which makes people reluctant to throw away and damage it. Instead, it plays the role of protecting the original painting of Tang Yin. I want to make this painting like this." Purpose."
Snap, snap, snap!
The white-haired old man actually applauded, and Xiao Jingchuan and Mr. Xu also applauded generously.
"It is said that Chuzhou is rich in treasures and has outstanding people. Today, it is indeed well-deserved to see it. It is amazing, amazing!"
"Hello Uncle Wu, I'm really glad to see you in Chuzhou." Shen Yu suddenly bowed to the white-haired old man and called Uncle Wu at the same time.
The white-haired old man was a little surprised when he heard this.
He looked at Shen Yu with surprise, and asked with some doubts: "You call me Uncle Wu? You actually know me, little friend?"
Shen Yu straightened his body and said, "Yes, I visited you with my grandfather ten years ago. Uncle Wu, your appearance has not changed much after ten years of separation. I recognized you when I first entered the house and did not say hello at that time." Please ask Wu Bomo to take the blame."
"Ten years ago? Based on your age, you should still be a teenager at that time, right? You call me Uncle Wu. Your grandfather should be my senior in the industry. Let me think about it when you bring a young man to meet my senior..." /p>
The white-haired old man put his eyes to the empty space and thought for a long time, then suddenly said with emotion: "Ah, I remembered, could your grandpa be Mr. Shen Zhonglou?"
"Exactly!"
The white-haired old man slapped his thigh, "Is your name Qinan?"
"Yes, Uncle Wu."
"Oh, why didn't you tell me earlier when you saw me!"
The old man’s surname is Wu, and his last name is Ben.
Identity is the president of Dongjiang Gem and Jade Association.
He is the president, not the honorary president.
At the same time, Wu Ben is also the vice president of the Dongjiang Antique Collection Association.
He has many companies under his name, involving jewelry and jade, hotels and tourism, FMCG manufacturing, real estate development, etc. His assets are much larger than those of Xu Laolai.
It is worth mentioning that "Fuqing Jewelry" under his name is the only jadeite wool dealer that can compete with the Lin family's "Baoheng Jewelry" company, referred to as Baoheng Company.
Although the Lin family's jadeite wool accounts for 65% of the entire Dongjiang market share, it is precisely because of Mr. Wu's Fuqing Jewelry that the Lin family will not be the only one.
Because the current head of the Lin family, Lin Xinrong, behaves in a domineering manner, merchants at the Dongjiang Jade Market and many members of the Jade and Jade Association respect Wu Ben more and unanimously recommended Wu Ben as the president of the association.
In other words, although Lin Xinrong controls most of the jade wool market in Dongjiang, he is only the vice president of the association and is firmly dominated by Wu Ben.
Speaking of which, the relationship between Wu Ben and Zhongzhonglou is not very familiar. Last time, Zhongzhonglou asked Wu Ben for help, but the other party respected Zhongzhonglou very much, so Shen Yu had a deep impression on him.
Wu Ben was born in the year of the Ox. It is said that he was not called this name when he was a child because he was born with bad legs and feet and walked with a limp.
Because Ben and Ben have the same pronunciation and meaning, his father changed the word Ben to "Three Oxen Running" for him.
It’s strange, after he got this name, Mr. Wu’s legs gradually healed on their own.
"Wu Sanniu, you have nothing to do, so you come to my store to cause trouble? If I, the descendant of Chuzhou, were not so talented and beautiful, I would have been deceived by you."
Mr. Xu's words have already concluded the painting. It is absolutely true that the painting is Tang Yin's original work!
Mr. Wu smiled and shook his head, "We are indeed all old, and the world will be dominated by young people from now on."
Xiao Zhongying suddenly said: "Shen Yu, you will write an application later, and I will be your recommender, and then join our Chuzhou Antique Collection Association.
"It stands to reason that joining a collection association requires participating in a treasure appraisal event organized by the association.
"But it's about talent. The original procedure can be simpler, and our two presidents watched the entire treasure appraisal, so it's not a backdoor."
Wu Ben suddenly stopped Xiao Zhongying and said, "Old Xiao, wait a minute. You are wrong in what you said. Xiao Shen is not a junior of yours from Chuzhou.
"Xiao Shen was obviously born and raised in Dongjiang, but his ancestral home is Chuzhou. How come he is a descendant of Chuzhou?"
Then Wu Ben asked Shen Yu pleasantly: "Xiao Shen, are you willing to join the Dongjiang Antique Collection Association? You don't need to write any application, I can make a decision now."
"Wu Sanniu, you old boy are you looking for a fight, aren't you? You deliberately brought a 'cover-up' to my store to find trouble. Now people are robbing us all in Chuzhou. When you were young, you were no match for me, but you still fight me now." You are looking for teeth all over the ground." Mr. Xu pretended to roll up his sleeves and do something.
Wu Ben was not to be outdone, "Come here. Xu, don't show off to me. I'm six months younger than you. Am I still afraid of you?"
Seeing that the two hot-tempered old men were about to take action, Xu Duofu, who was hiding in the distance, said weakly, "Grandpa, Grandpa Wu, Grandpa Xiao, let me tell you, Dongjiang Collection Association and Chuzhou Collection Association They are the two closest collecting associations, and Shen Yu’s ancestral home is Chuzhou and he lives in Dongjiang, so why not let him join both associations..."
