Zhou Zichen smiled lightly and said: "Shi Tao is a well-known painter in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and his paintings are of high value. Last year, one of his works was sold for a high price of 10 million. Although this painting is smaller than that painting
Half of it is paid, but five million can still be sold. Even if it is sold to a private person, four million is not impossible. You only offered two million, are you fooling me?"
Yu Wanzhen's eyes flashed with obvious panic, but after all, he had been in society for so many years, and he quickly calmed down, "I don't understand what I heard. What I want to buy now is Wu Changshuo's work. You and
Why am I talking about Shi Tao’s works?”
He "sneered" and said: "Is there nothing wrong with your head?"
"Alas...you are so stubborn..."
Zhou Zichen sighed, "You have to make it clear? OK, then I'll make it clear. Yes, technically speaking, Wu Changshuo and Zhang Daqian's imitation of Shi Tao's landscape paintings can almost look real, but even some experts can't tell. But the real thing is still the real thing.
, it will never become true!”
He pointed to a mountain in the painting and said, "When Shi Tao makes a mountain, he likes to use a heavy brush, and the shape is like an axe, to create the vastness and steepness of the mountain. The distance and distance are well arranged, and the sense of space is created very well. Zhang Daqian likes to use a medium brush.
The writing is slightly lighter, and the mountain gives people a more handsome and dangerous feeling, with a weak sense of space.
As for Wu Changshuo... Although he is good at using heavy brushes when painting mountains, his brushwork is clumsy and simple, and he pays more attention to charm. Judging from the brushwork of this mountain, it is more like Shi Tao.
It can be seen from this that this painting was not imitated by Wu Changshuo at all, but was painted by Shi Tao himself! "
Yu Wan was really surprised. He had been in contact with antique calligraphy and painting for more than ten years in an antique auction house, and he barely understood the method of identifying calligraphy and painting. He never thought that this young man with an unattractive appearance in front of him was no worse than himself in identifying calligraphy and painting!
"How old is he? Did he start studying when he was still in his mother's womb?"
There was a hint of disbelief in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Zichen, but he quickly calmed down and said firmly: "Impossible! I have been exposed to antique calligraphy for more than ten years, and there is no way I can get it wrong!"
"You still don't admit it!"
Zhou Zichen pointed at the aging area in the painting with his finger, "Since you have been in contact with calligraphy and painting for such a long time, you must have studied paper very deeply. Then can you tell me why this aging area is so serious?
The aging color has penetrated the paper. This is not something that can be achieved in just over a hundred years. From the perspective of aging structure, it takes at least three hundred years to reach this level. Wu Changshuo's paintings are only one hundred and fifty years old.
Ten years...could it be possible that he painted this painting three hundred years ago?"
Before he could finish speaking, Yu Wanzhen's face changed and he was full of panic, "You, you, you..."
"What are you!"
Zhou Zichen shouted: "You asked me just now what kind of feelings I have, but now I want to ask you. It is clearly a work by Shi Tao, but you still said it is by Wu Changshuo. May I ask, what kind of feelings do you have!"
"Um?"
Only then did the little girl realize why Zhou Zichen was tit for tat with Yu Wanzhen. She had previously thought that Wu Changshuo's works were really worth so much money, and Zhou Zichen really wanted them, so she raised the price and worked for a long time. How could this be?
Want, clearly means that Yu Wanzhen wants to use his lack of knowledge of calligraphy and painting to deliberately deceive himself and take the opportunity to find out!
She immediately glared at Yu Wanzhen: "You liar!"
"You, I, you..."
Yu Wanzhen looked like he had been exposed, and he was so panicked that he couldn't even speak clearly.
"Just wait for me! We'll see!"
With an embarrassed look on his face, he said a harsh word and turned around to leave.
That figure looks very much like a dog...
So embarrassing!
"cut!"
Zhou Zichen didn't care about his threat, and waved his hand in front of the little girl's eyes, "Stop staring, or it will become cross-eyed."
"How come there are such people! How disgusting!" the little girl said bitterly.
Zhou Zichen, however, disagreed and said calmly: "There are many opportunistic people in this world. It's normal. How can you trust people so much when you don't understand? In the future, be more cautious. Although there are not so many bad people in this world, you can still be careful about others."
It’s important to be careful, and there’s no harm in being more vigilant.”
The little girl immediately said on guard: "Then are you a bad person or a good person?"
"I……"
Zhou Zichen glared at her, "I'm a bad person!"
Phew!
The little girl smiled, "Okay, okay, I'm just kidding you!"
She couldn't even see her eyes clearly when she smiled, leaving only a slit, which was curved and looked like a crescent moon, so cute.
Zhou Zichen couldn't help but be stunned and thought to himself that she was so beautiful. If anyone married her, they would definitely have smoke rising from their ancestral graves.
"The painting has been identified for you. I have something else to do and I'm leaving first..."
Xiao Tao was still at home. He was going to school in the afternoon and had to go back to cook quickly. Zhou Zichen folded the books at hand, said hello, and left the library.
"Hey, hey, don't leave!"
The little girl quickly put away the painting and chased after him from behind.
"Why don't you leave? Are you going to treat me to dinner?"
"OK!"
"Sorry, I don't have time!"
"Oh! Don't walk so fast, let's have a nice chat..."
"I have nothing to talk about with you."
"But you just hit me."
"But I have already apologized to you and helped you appraise a painting. No matter what, we are even."
"Oh, you are a man, don't be so stingy..."
"What on earth do you want to say?"
Zhou Zichen stopped and looked at her seriously. He was very sure that this little girl must have something to ask of him.
Sure enough!
"That, that..."
The little girl twisted her body and said sheepishly: "I think you know a lot about calligraphy and painting. Can you accompany me to the antique market again and help me see a piece of Zhang Daqian's work?"
Zhou Zichen was surprised, "The Shitao landscape painting you have is more valuable than Zhang Daqian's imitation. Isn't it pretty good?"
The little girl said aggrievedly: "But my grandpa doesn't like it, so please help me. I've been looking for it for a long time and can't find it. If I can't get it for grandpa's birthday gift, others will laugh at me because I don't mean what I say...
…”
Zhou Zichen wanted to refuse directly, but seeing the pitiful expression on this kid's little face, he felt soft and said, "Okay, I'll help you find one, but I don't have time now. I have to do other things. Wait until I finish."
Contact you."
"When will you finish your work?"
"This afternoon."
"good!"
The little girl readily agreed, quickly took out her phone, opened WeChat, and called up the QR code, "Quick, quick, quick! Add friends!"
Zhou Zichen had no choice but to add her as a friend.
Her online name is "Petite girls don't want to be princesses", and her avatar is that of a cute girl from anime with a quirky appearance.
After being verified by her friends, the little girl immediately sent a series of [knife dripping blood] emoticons to Zhou Zichen, "Remember to call me!"
He walked backwards for a few steps, waved to Zhou Zichen, turned around and ran away quickly, leaving a silver bell-like laughter all the way.
Zhou Zichen shook his head and smiled bitterly, "This little girl..."
There is a sweet taste in my heart, as if spring has arrived...
