The Book of Appreciation

Wu Di became interested when he found the target.Look at the inscription first, there are three characters "Zi Fan Zhi" and "Shen's" square seal on the bottom left of the scroll, and the four characters "Happy to make fragrance" inscribed by Yuchi for Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.The seals of "Qianlong Chenhan", "Qianlong Yulan's Treasure", "Shiqu Baoji", "Shiqu Dingjian", "Baoji Reediting" and "Qianlong Appreciation" are all sealed.These seem to be all right, even the seal is almost exactly the same as the real one!

Carefully inspecting the age and other characteristics of Kesi, Wu Di was confused. According to the judgment, the age of this work should be a work of the Qing Dynasty. It is not important whether it is early or middle and late. Like something like this?Even dare to imitate the seal, don't you want to die?

Kesi has been known as the "sage of weaving" since ancient times. It is the best among the three famous silk crafts of Kesi, brocade and embroidery. It is commonly known as "one inch of Kesi is one inch of gold".Kesi is the essence of Chinese silk handicrafts. It was used by emperors in Ming and Qing dynasties and was monopolized by the royal family.Compared with other silk handicrafts, Kesi has the dual value of art and craft.

Compared with other works of art, Kesi has very few mediocre products, and similarly, there are very few fakes.Because it is too difficult to imitate, the cost and difficulty of making fake Kesi works are much greater than any handicrafts.The first-class work the size of a square scarf contains thousands of gradual colors, and it takes several months for senior technicians to complete.

This piece is obviously a high-quality goods, but I don't know which master has worked for several years before successfully imitating it?But looking at this craftsmanship, do you still need to imitate others?

Wu Di first affirmed that it was a masterpiece, and then began to struggle with its age. "Picture of Plum Bamboo and Hanque" was a treasure of the Qing palace, so those who dared to imitate it must not be from the Qing Dynasty, that is to say, his judgment just now was wrong.So is the Republic of China?It is possible that the fine works of the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China are not easy to date.However, there is also a problem with the imitation of this work. It seems that the seals of Jiaqing and others are missing, but why did the author leave these flaws?

Wu Di continued to try to find flaws in the work, but this work was tightly organized, with well-proportioned strands, clear layers, skillful workmanship, and complete business. ?

Seeing Wu Di in a daze in front of Kesi, the boss came over with a smile,

"Since this piece was hung, you are No. 17 people with this expression."

Wu Di smiled bitterly and said:

"Where did the boss come from?"

"Oh, I found it when sorting out my great-grandfather's relics. Unfortunately, my great-grandfather participated in that period of history."

Wu Di didn't speak, so let's just listen to this kind of story.

"Boss, how are you going to sell this Kesi?"

"Not expensive, 100 million euros."

100? 100 million is not expensive?If it's just a fine piece of Kesi, even if it's a modern piece, hundreds of thousands of euros may be worth the money.However, who is it bad for you to imitate, to imitate the collections of the Forbidden City?Still leaving such an obvious flaw?

Wu Di consulted the boss and put on white gloves.He didn't let go of any mistakes, so he decided to use the big killer.

As soon as his fingers touched the screen, a cool breath flowed into his body, good thing!At the same time, the reminder from the Heavenly Book clearly appeared in his mind:

"Qing, Shen Mengzhou, Picture of Plum Bamboo and Hanque, genuine Kesi."

The reminder from Tianshu made Wu Di understand the authenticity of the thing, but who Shen Mengzhou was, even if he thought about it, he didn't have the slightest impression.But there is one thing he can be sure of, as long as it is not a modern imitation, you can earn hundreds of thousands of euros without losing money!Not to mention that now the Tianshu has affirmed the authenticity of the seal. As a former collection of the Qing Palace, the selling price is 100 million, which is simply the price of cabbage!Wu Di's judgment is well-founded, because although the book of heaven does not say whether the seal is true or false, it is enough to affirm the Qing Dynasty. No one in the Qing Dynasty would dare to copy the seal at the risk of copying the seal!

He suddenly thought of a possibility, could Shen Mengzhou be another name of Shen Zifan?If that's the case, you'll bump into a baby!Kesi twins!How many people's glasses will be smashed?

"Boss, this is an imitation. Although the workmanship is exquisite, it is still an imitation."

"Hehe, it doesn't matter if it's a fake. If it's the real one, I don't think it will stay here even if I drive it to 2000 million yuan! Hahahaha!"

"Dare to imitate the Qianlong jade seal, I think the Qing Dynasty did not have it, so this work was originally something from the Republic of China, and the price is a bit high."

"Then why don't you think these seals are real?"

"Then what do you think?"

The boss looked at Wu Di's face and shook his head.He found this Kesi by accident at a friend's house.That friend visited China 20 years ago, and a local government gave him this work as a gift in order to promote local handicrafts.Now the young man judged that it was a work of the Republic of China, and he probably misread it. This is probably a modern imitation.

It’s not that Wu Di didn’t doubt the new imitation. This work was imitated by a Chinese master in the 60s, but he overturned this possibility from the very beginning. With the judgment of Tianshu, he now knows this better than anyone else. value of the work.

"50, boss, I think this is a very sincere price."

"No, no, sir, this work can't be at this price, otherwise it would have been taken away! 98 euros, in order to show my sincerity, I will let you [-]."

Wu Di bargained for a while, but the boss bit him to death. In the end, he had to pay 96 euros to buy Shen Mengzhou's "Picture of Plum, Bamboo, and Sparrow".

Wu Di is in a very happy mood. As time goes by, his collection has become more and more abundant, but this time he has added oil paintings, bronze mirrors, books, fabrics, couplets, ivory carvings, ancient bricks and other treasures. Next, there will be more What surprises await him?

After looking in the store for a while, but seeing no more targets worth shooting, Wu Di took Song Ying to continue the treasure hunt.

They had just walked for a while when an old Chinese man in Tang suit hurried into the small shop selling Kesi works. He saw the blank space on the wall at a glance, and his face suddenly turned pale!

"Boss, what about the "Plum Bamboo and Sparrow Picture"?"

"Hehe, I was bought by a young man just now, and he is also from Huaxia. Mister, you seem to have been here yesterday, right?"

"How long have they been gone? What do they look like?"

The old man was not in the mood to strike up a conversation with the shopkeeper at all, and kept asking for Wu Di's information.The boss also knows that something is wrong now, the thing just now is probably a treasure!He led the old man out of the shop in a hurry, searched for three shops in a row, and finally saw Wu Di in a shop dealing in jade.

The old man had calmed down at this moment, and when the boss confirmed the target, he took out one hundred euros and handed it over.The boss shook his head, did not reach out to pick it up, and said:

"I want to know the origin of that work."

The old man nodded and waited outside the store with the boss. After a while, he stopped Wu Di who was walking out with Song Ying talking and laughing.

Wu Di looked at the two people in front of him in surprise, with a hint of doubt in his eyes, is there any problem?

The shop owner warmly invited Wu Di and the two back to the shop, saying that they had something important to discuss, and the old man also introduced himself as Zhu Derang of Shanghai City.

Wu Di was taken aback when he heard the words, Zhu Derang of Shanghai City, isn't this a figure of Taishan Beidou level in the antique world?If the political background of his master Chang Lao is not counted, the status of these two people in the antique world should be comparable, so some people often refer to these two masters in the collection world as "South Zhu Beichang"!

Regardless of the people coming and going on the street, Wu Di solemnly clasped his fists in an ancient ceremony and said:

"Boy Wu Di, he studied under the old man Chang Youxue in the capital city. It is a great honor to meet Master Zhu here today!"

When the old man heard this, his expression changed, and he said with a smile:

"You are Wu Di? You bought the "Picture of Plum, Bamboo and Hanque"? It seems that old man Chang's vision of people is no worse than that of antiques!"

"Senior praises it, the boy is just lucky!"

"Let's go, don't talk to me here, you can't talk well, can you? Well, since you bought that work, I don't have anything to do with my old man! I didn't expect to beat wild geese all my life, but I'm not as ruthless as you kid, Let that wild goose king go! Alright, go back and say hello to your master for me, I'm leaving first."

Knowing that the things had fallen into Wu Di's hands, Zhu Derang probably had no chance, so he sighed and prepared to leave without waiting for Wu Di to answer.

The boss was in a hurry. The two stood on the street and chatted a few words, and then they were about to break up. What happened to Kesi?If he doesn't understand this problem, how can he sleep in the future?

With one hand, the boss stopped the old man, turned to Wu Di and said:

"Sir, since you've already come out, why don't you sit in my shop for a while? Don't be afraid to tell the truth, if you don't tell me the origin of that silk tapestry, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well in the future!"

When Wu Di saw the boss and Zhu Derang coming together, he guessed that it was probably about Kesi. Later, he chatted with Zhu Derang, and it turned out to be the case!Seeing the old man's dispirited expression, his heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he knows the origin of this piece of tapestry?

Zhu Derang wanted to find a place to lick his wounds by himself, but after hearing what the boss said, he couldn't help hesitating, what if the young man just saw that it was a boutique and bought it casually for collection and play?If he didn't recognize the origin of this thing, should he do it or not?Tangled ah!

The boss's brows and eyes were lively, and he knew there was something going on when he saw that the two of them hadn't moved. He smiled at Song Ying and said:

"Ma'am, please go back to my shop and rest for a while?"

Wu Di smiled and said to Zhu Derang:

"Old Zhu, why don't we go over and sit down? Let..."

He originally wanted to talk about listening to the teachings of his seniors, but suddenly remembered what the old man said just now, so he quickly stopped talking.Zhu Derang was struggling and didn't notice Wu Di's half-sentence. He just nodded silently, followed the boss, and walked towards the Kesi shop.
