Live appraising treasures, I became a national treasure expert?

The floor tiles are as bright as a mirror, reflecting dazzling light.The curtains were half open, the breeze was blowing gently, and the pendants of the crystal lamps collided back and forth, making a crisp sound of "ding-ding-dong-dong".

Qi Ying was dressed in plain clothes and sitting at the desk, holding a brush in his hand and concentrating on copying Buddhist scriptures on the paper.The words are like the person, dignified, elegant, and elegant.

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

"Please come in!"

"Ok!"

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

"Come in, sit down!"

Qi Ying put down the brush and stretched her waist again. Her demeanor was demure and elegant, and her tone was gentle and sweet: "Did you bring the things?"

"Brought it!"

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

Opening the lid of the box, it was the Song Dynasty book.

"Even though it is a fake copy, it is also a rare Ming Dynasty handwritten copy, and it is also a commentary on etiquette. It just suits my sister-in-law's temperament."

Lin Zixian said compliments as if they were free, rolled his eyes, pushed forward slightly, and placed the book in front of Qi Ying.

"It's just seeing things and missing people. After all, your brother doesn't have much left behind!"

With a sigh of regret, he brushed the cover with his slender fingers: "Make a price!"

Lin Zixian thought for a while, stretched out his palm and spread out his fingers: "5000 million!"

Ha, how much?

Do you really dare to ask for it, or do you think I look like an idiot?
The situation is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. Even if he lives for another 40 years, Lin Zixian still can't change his greed for money and his unrighteousness for profit.

"Then you can keep it!" She smiled softly: "But can you let me see it for a few days? Well... half a month, and then I will return it to you intact!"

I just said that I miss people when I see things, so how can I just say I don’t want them anymore?
It's too expensive... Then why don't you give me a better price?

"Sister-in-law, it's not like we can't discuss it..."

"It's not necessary... In addition, I will call the bank and give you another half month's grace. If you agree, will you let it go first?"

The tone was still consulting, with a slight smile on his face, but Lin Zixian understood very well: If it works, just take it and leave.

He was immediately dumbfounded: He fell out whenever he wanted to, and it hasn't changed in ten years?
Momentarily angry, but unable to do anything: she was also blinded by the force, and hit Qi Ying on the head with a sap... Isn't she stupid?
If I had known, it would have been 1000 million...

Even though it's only half a month, what Lin Zixian lacks most now is time.If you're lucky, you might be able to find one or two treasures among the things left behind by your elder brother. Isn't this going to turn upside down?
"All right……"

After hesitating for a long time, Lin Zixian nodded, then stood up, "Sister-in-law, you are busy!"

"it is good!"

Qi Ying also stood up and smiled again, but did not move an inch.

Not bad. Ten years ago, when his eldest brother was still alive, Lin Zixian would be moved for a long time if she could have such a good look on her face.

Things have changed, people have gone, and the building is empty. Qi Ying's style remains the same, but he lives more and more back.

Feeling secretly, Lin Zixian turned around and left, closing the door gently.

Qi Ying opened the cover, frowning slightly, and fell into deep doubts.

In the past, all the ancient books that Lao Lin brought back were stored in this room. There were not many, fifty or sixty of them from the Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Although I had not read them one by one, I at least remembered the titles.

I also have the impression of this book in my memory, as if it was placed on the middle floor of the second bookshelf.I can't remember exactly which year I brought it back and which year it disappeared. Whether it was given away or sold.

But no matter how you think about it, it shouldn’t be a fake copy?
Li Ding'an said it with certainty...

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

As soon as the screen lit up, the video began to play: the viewing angle was a bit high, and there were densely packed heads, with Li Ding'an surrounded in the middle.

“Let’s talk about an open secret: there are also fakes in the Forbidden City!”

……

"This book should be written by Xiang Molin!"

……

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

……

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

The voice was neither fast nor slow, clear and loud, with a slight smile between his eyebrows and eyes, and his eyes were gentle but firm.

The video is very long, but most of the time the Tibetan friends were discussing it. Qi Ying kept tapping the screen and only watched the part where Li Ding'an spoke.

In just 2 minutes, the progress bar reached the end, and Li Ding'an made the final decision: "Although it is a fake version, it should have come from the Forbidden City..."

His voice was not loud, but he was extremely determined and full of confidence.

but why?
It is easy to understand that it came from the Forbidden City. Because it has the seal of Qianlong, it is not difficult for top calligraphy and painting appraisers to identify the authenticity.

But why can he be so sure that it was imitated during the Wanli period? He can even be sure who imitated it: Xiang Molin?

Li Ding'an didn't say it, or even how he inferred it, but the strange thing was that both Sun Mingfang and Ding Licheng agreed with his conclusion?

Gradually, distant images emerged in her mind, and she seemed to have seen Lin Ziliang back then: a man whose words were worth a thousand dollars.

But Lao Lin is already nearly [-] years old when he reaches this point, and how old is Li Ding'an?
The confusion deepened, and with a slight swipe of his finger, a second video popped up on the screen:
The angle of view is still very high, and there are still many people, but this time the person surrounded is no longer Li Ding'an, but an old man with white beard and hair and kind eyes.

Xiang Zhiqing, former Vice President of Gome.

Even closer is a booth, with a painting on it: a young girl wearing only a tulle, with a slim figure, her skin is as frosty as snow, her eyes are full of love, she is both shy and shy, but she is also charming.

Zhang Daqian's "Picture of a Happy Son Emerging from the Bath"!
On one side of the long case, Sun Mingfang frowned, and on the other side, Li Ding'an talked eloquently:

"This sentence, 'Giving a child to my lover in the 29th year of the Showa Period', although it is in Japanese, is a sail style with a unique Daqian style..."

"The following year, Zhang Daqian left Japan and lived in Brazil. He built the 'Bade Garden' and called himself Bade Mountain Man... Yes, those are the four words on the seal..."

"Look at these two sections of hair: one horizontal one from the right eye, and one vertical one from the left eye. Does that make them a 'big thousand'?"

When you zoom in and look again, you can see that the left is "thousand" and the right is "big", no difference at all.

Everyone was stunned, Sun Mingfang was dumbfounded, and Xiang Zhiqing's eyes lit up with admiration.

Although he was clearly watching a video, he felt as if he was actually there. Qi Ying also nodded twice: he is as careful as his hair and his eyes are as sharp as a torch!
It can be seen from this video that Li Ding'an's eyesight and appreciation level have long surpassed Sun Mingfang's.

At that time, he was just emerging and showing his talents, but Sun Mingfang had already been famous for many years and was the first-class calligraphy and painting appraisal expert in the country.

It just feels...unbelievable?

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

Zhang Ailing's English manuscript "Lust and Caution"... Lin Huiyin's ghostwriting, Liang Sicheng's letter to Hu Shi, and the two stamps on the cover...

When I read it again, I found Ren Bonian's "Water Margin Figures", and when I turned it over again, I found Wang Hui imitating Wang Shimin's "Fuchun Mountains" by Huang Gongwang.

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

Further forward, there is "Melon and Pear Picture" by Ding Fuzhi, a famous artist in the Republic of China.

These basically cover all the calligraphy and painting works that Li Ding'an has picked up since he entered this industry until now.Only now did Qi Ying know why Sun Mingfang and Ding Licheng believed what he said without any doubt.

He understood the woman's intention in sending the video to her friend: Don't take any chances. If Li Ding'an said it was a forgery, then it was a forgery...

Looking at the time, "Melon and Pear Picture" is the earliest, and the oil painting from a few days ago is the latest. The process is similar, and there is not much difference.

At first glance, I think he hasn't made much progress in such a long time?

After a pause, Qi Ying was suddenly stunned: What are you thinking about?

It’s not that he hasn’t improved, but that when he first started, he already had a very high level of appreciation, so he felt there was no difference between before and after.

It is fast and accurate every time. Not only can it clearly explain "where is it really" and "why other experts missed it", but also the origin.

This is not just a matter of good eyesight, but the amount of knowledge required has truly reached a staggering level.

In an instant, Qi Ying remembered an internet buzzword: Debut is the pinnacle!
Before that, why was it so unknown?

In surprise, she picked up her phone again. She was about to make a call, but her finger accidentally touched the screen, and another video popped up.

and also?

If you look closely, there are two small words at the bottom of the video: Appraisal!
It seems that except for this exhibition, he has never helped others to see calligraphy and paintings?

Maybe other items...

As she thought about it, she clicked: This time it was not a surveillance video, but a live broadcast, but it was different from the past where only feet could be seen: Li Ding'an appeared on camera.

The background is very common, like a hotel suite with five or six conference tables filled with things.

Li Ding'an's voice is still clear:

"Look at this picture, "Pictures of Ladies" by Leng Mei, a famous court master in the Qing Dynasty. I won't say whether the painting is good, how strong the brushwork is, and whether the artistic conception is high. Let's talk about the material: when it comes to color, it's all about color. Painted with modern industrial paints..."

"Look at this painting again, Wen Zhengming's great-grandson, Wen Congjian, a well-known painter in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, "Yunshan Mist Cover". This painting is an ink painting with not many places for coloring, but it is similar to the previous one: the stability in the ink Agents, penetrants, wetting agents, preservatives, fragrances...etc., nothing is missing..."

The speed was extremely fast, and he finished reading two pictures in only three to four minutes.Qi Ying was carefully identifying how he saw chemical pigments and modern inks, when the camera flashed again:
“Next let’s take a look at this one, Shenyang Boutique Shop…”

He has been to BESTORE, why didn’t I know?
Suspicious, Qi Ying's eyes opened wider and wider: 160 pieces of calligraphy and painting, 52 genuine pieces, and the rest were all high imitations.

Then, a huge map appeared in the video: The five words "Comprehensive Map of the Imperial Palace" were particularly eye-catching.

Next to it, there are many small words, the title is "Regarding the Authenticity of the Imperial Palace Map", signed by the Shenyang Forbidden City, and stamped with the official seal.Let’s look at the content again: Imitation, rayon?

The notice was not long, more than 200 words, and she read it several times, including the apologies from other companies.

Then, I fell into deep confusion.

It’s not just this map, nor is it just the first time a first-level expo organization has publicly apologized to an individual.But there are more than 200 paintings, more than 400 pieces of porcelain, countless miscellaneous items... and an entire Forbidden City.

Time, three days!
Not to mention seeing with your eyes, just scanning with a machine. Is it that fast?
This has exceeded the limit that human beings can achieve, and it feels beyond ordinary absurdity.If it weren't for the glowing red seal, Qi Ying would even wonder if it was fake news.

After being stunned for a long time, she finally came back from a long dream and pulled out a number and dialed it.

After two rings, the phone was connected, and a dry voice came from inside: "Hello!"

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

"You happened to be abroad at the time, so 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 removed from the shelves, including the live broadcast under Li Ding'an's own account Record the screen and delete it completely!"

"why?"

"Do you know how many people in Liao Province rely on the Forbidden City and cultural tourism for their livelihood?"

Qi Ying was silent, and then remembered the time when he asked Li Ding'an to appraise the book: Teacher Li, I know you!
Now that I think about it, it’s quite funny…

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

"No matter why, you can feel it yourself!"

Qi Ying was choked and didn't know how to refute: If she didn't see it for herself, even if she watched a hundred videos like this, she would only think it was packaged and hyped.

so unreal...

She sighed deeply: "I got the thing!"

"You bought it so quickly?"

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

"How many?"

"5000 million!"

"Hehe, dogs can't stop eating shit!"

"What are you going to do?"

"It's very simple...well, just wait a moment..."

The sound was much quieter, as if someone was being asked to go out, and then the sound of the door closing was heard casually.

"It's very simple, just hand it over to the police... This time it's not about breaking promises and restricting appearances, it's about him having to sit there for a few years. When Lin Zixian is desperate, who else can he ask for except you and me?"

"Is there no other way?" Qi Ying was stunned for a moment, his brows knitted together: "Why do you always like to take shortcuts, and... are you so violent?"

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

"I……"

Qi Ying was speechless again, still speechless.

"That's it. Where is the thing?"

"at home!"

"I asked Yanan to get it!"

"Wait a minute... Instead of leaving it to the police, why not ask Li Ding'an for help?"

"Li Ding'an?"

The person on the other side let out a long sigh, "Guess how much money I prepared to ask him for help?"

"How many?"

"Haha, [-] million! So, please don't move... But don't worry, handing it over to the police is no different from asking him..."

There was a beep and the phone was hung up. Qi Ying was still staring at the phone in trance: [-] million?
Li Ding'an picked up so many mistakes, did he earn so much? (End of chapter)
