Masterful appearance

Three days later it will be the seventh day of the lunar new year. Chu Tianci actually feels a little nervous. After all, it is the first time to compete with others. In fact, winning or losing is not important, but Qin Weijie's words are like a knife hanging on his head. If you can't win, it's not just a loss. In the field competition, Chu Tianci had never been like this before, feeling so heavy with all the responsibilities on his body.

The door was pushed open heavily, and Yue Qianling stood at the door with a face of resentment, speaking angrily.

"Someone is looking for you outside!"

"Who?"

"You don't know how to see for yourself!"

Chu Tianci didn't understand why Yue Qianling got angry for no reason, and walked out in a daze, and it took him a long time to react.

"Qiu...Qiu Nuo? Why are you here?"

The last time I saw Qiu Nuo was at an auction, and Chu Tianci still didn't understand how a girl as pure and pure as Qiu Nuo would be with Chen Xiang, just as he wanted to laugh, he suddenly swallowed it back, and his back felt inexplicable. Cold, don't look back, Chu Tianci also knew that it was Yue Qianling's cold eyes.

"Professor Jiang and I have something to trouble you with, don't you want to trouble you?" Qiu Nuo was very polite but still glamorous.

Hearing Professor Jiang, Chu Tianci saw Jiang Luhua standing behind Qiu Nuo, and asked them to sit down with a polite smile.

"If you have anything to say, don't be shy."

"Hey, I've been locked in the house for the past few days and didn't go out. Seeing Qiu Nuo, I'm so happy to see you. Chu Tianci, I really didn't realize that you are such a person." whispered.

Chu Tianci couldn't laugh or cry and didn't know what to say for a while, but Yue Qianling asked without hesitation.

"Qiu Nuo, last time I saw you and Chen Xiang together, what's your relationship?"

"An ordinary friend." Qiu Nuo smiled slightly.

"It's not like ordinary friends. They bought you whatever they saw that you liked that day, and they were very generous. He couldn't be your boyfriend." Yue Qianling deliberately procrastinated the last three words, clearly trying to express her embarrassment. Godsend to listen.

"No, the person I like is not like him!" Qiu Nuo didn't seem to mind Yue Qianling's provocation, and replied calmly.

"Then what kind of person do you like?" Yue Qianling asked aggressively.

"The person I like needs to be talented and strategic, to kill decisively and have the arrogance to beat me." Qiu Nuo blurted out without even thinking.

Yue Qianling didn't expect Qiu Nuo to answer, but she was quite satisfied with the answer, so she glanced at Chu Tianci with a victorious attitude. Obviously, no matter how you look at it, Chu Tianci couldn't meet these conditions. Can't stick it.

Chu Tianci smiled awkwardly, if this continues, it will completely turn into a war between two women, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Professor Jiang, what do you and Qiu Nuo want from me?"

"It's not a big deal. The archaeological institute recently discovered and excavated an ancient tomb and unearthed a calligraphy and painting cultural relic, but I'm not very good at authenticating calligraphy and painting. I showed it to Qiu Nuo, and she wasn't too sure, so I'm going to ask you to help have a look."

"Okay, what kind of calligraphy and painting are they?"

Professor Jiang took out an exquisite and simple wooden box from his bag, carefully placed it on the table, put on gloves, and opened it reverently.

The yellowed picture scroll was wrapped in gold foil paper. Looking at the packaging, one could tell that it was very precious. Professor Jiang slowly opened the picture scroll.

"Tianci, let me test you first. Since you are knowledgeable about appreciation, let's see what this painting is?"

Chu Tianci looked down carefully, and Yue Qianling surrounded him curiously.

Spread out on the table is a structural picture centered on mountains and forests.The white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes is hidden in a large pine forest. The pine trees are powerful and proud, and they are deeply rooted in the crevices of rocks and mountains in an orderly manner.

"This is Chen Fangwei's Picture of Tiger Hidden in Mountain Pine!" Chu Tianci said confidently with a smile on his face. "Chen Fangwei's paintings are good at landscapes, and his painting style was not the mainstream genre at that time, so it was unknown at the time. He didn't realize his experience until his later years. Therefore, the paintings handed down from generation to generation are extremely rare, and Chen Fangwei has never painted animals. So this picture of a tiger hidden in a mountain pine is really a rare treasure."

"Hahaha, Tianci is really extraordinary. Chen Fangwei's name is not big in the painting world. As you said, he became famous too late. He was almost 70 years old when he became famous, and he could still paint a few paintings. .” Professor Jiang smiled enthusiastically. "Knowledgeful, knowledgeable, I can't see that you are young and know everything about the antique business."

Chu Tianci looked at the painting carefully, touched the paper with his hands, and lowered his head to smell the painting for a while.

"The date is correct. This rice paper is indeed Shangyangxuan. The ink used is also pine smoke ink."

"Tianci, from what you say, is this painting real?" Professor Jiang asked excitedly in a low voice.

"It's true!" Chu Tianci nodded decisively.

"If it's authentic, this painting should be a national first-class cultural relic," Qiu Nuo said quietly.

"If it is the authentic work of Chen Fangwei, this painting is of course priceless."

"Okay, I'll draw this..." Professor Jiang was just halfway through when he realized that Chu Tianci's words were wrong. "You... what did you mean just now? If it's authentic? You mean it's not authentic?!"

"The painting is an ancient painting, but it is not Chen Fang's authentic work." Chu Tianci replied affirmatively.

Professor Jiang was really anxious, pointing to the painting and asking without much confidence.

"You mean, this painting is real, but the person who painted it wasn't Chen Fangwei?"

Chu Tianci nodded calmly.

"Why, why, you, are you so sure it wasn't Chen Fangwei's handwriting?"

"You also know that Chen Fangwei became famous in his later years, but his fame has nothing to do with his paintings. According to the genre and style at that time, Chen Fangwei's paintings are not popular at all. He became famous all over the world because of another thing." Chu Tianci replied calmly.

"You are talking about Yue Fei's injustice case. Chen Fangwei is Yue Fei's disciple, teacher and friend. Yue Fei was killed unjustly. Chen Fangwei was punished jointly and severally. In order to avenge Yue Fei's injustice, he wrote a book of thousands of words, which was widely circulated among the people. , so he was charged with treason and executed together with Yue Fei, so he became famous all over the world." Qiu Nuo nodded and said like a treasure.

Chu Tianci stood up, walked to the painting, pointed to the date signed on the painting and said.

"Looking at the year and month, it happened to be the time when Chen Fangwei was imprisoned in the prison. According to the time, if I remember correctly, two days after the painting was completed, Chen Fangwei and Yue Fei were executed together."

"Well, yes, it will be two days later." Professor Jiang looked down and said. "Yes, but this doesn't mean that it wasn't painted by Chen Fangwei?"

"Your prison is the study of Chen Fangwei's home. You have seen the person who will be executed two days later, and you still have pen and ink scouts?"

"That's not necessarily true. Maybe someone admired Chen Fangwei's integrity and secretly sent it in for him to fulfill his last wish. It's not impossible." Yue Qianling pouted beside him.

Chu Tianci gave Yue Qianling a white look and said with a wry smile.

"Look at this painting, the picture of a tiger hidden in a mountain pine. Take a closer look at this tiger. There are dense thorns under its feet, and the pine forest is full of strange rocks. No matter who draws this painting, it is all borrowing things to express its ambition. The so-called diving traps dragons. It is clearly the picture of the tiger falling into the sun. Even the overlord of the forest is struggling to move forward. The tiger's eyes are dull, looking left and right to find a way out. This is a code word for his situation at that time, which is exactly the same as Chen Fangwei's situation when he was imprisoned in the sky prison. Perhaps it is because of this The reason makes people believe that this is the authentic work of Chen Fangwei."

"That's right, God-given, you said it yourself, the author used the painting to describe his aspirations, besides Chen Fangwei at that time, who else could draw such a vivid painting." Professor Jiang argued hard.

"This painting is so well preserved, it shows that someone has been carefully collecting it, but whoever dared to collect Chen Fangwei's paintings at that time, and whoever dared to collect it, will be convicted of being an accomplice with Chen Fangwei. What's more, Chen Fangwei was not well-known at the time, who would bear the lives of the nine clans for the painting of a death row prisoner." Chu Tianci explained casually beside him.

"Even if it's like what you said, there's still no evidence to prove that it's not the authentic work!" Yue Qianling said resolutely.

"It's actually very simple to get the evidence. You don't need to look at other things. You can see it just by the stamp of this picture of the mountain pine and the tiger." Chu Tianci said with confidence, pointing to the stamp on the left corner of the scroll. "This painting may also be painted by Chen Fangwei. Of course, it is also possible that someone suddenly lost his mind and really helped him preserve the painting. There are no absolutes in the world. Anything can happen, but even if all the conditions are true, this is the case. If there is no such seal on the painting, perhaps it is okay to say that Chen Fangwei’s seal is added, which is completely superfluous, and it was originally ambiguous, but now it has completely become a fake.”

"Of course you have to stamp the painting, what's so strange about that?" Yue Qianling said disapprovingly.

"Have you ever seen anyone who can bring a wife in prison?" Chu Tianci asked with a cheerful smile.

"Chen Fangwei is a prisoner on death row, and he is being held in the sky prison. How could he have a seal on his body?" Qiu Nuo kept silent, and finally said calmly.

Professor Jiang was somewhat disappointed, finally found a famous painting handed down from generation to generation, it turned out to be a fake, heartbroken and silent, Yue Qianling hurriedly invited Professor Jiang to the living room to make tea for him.

Chu Tianci suddenly smiled meaningfully and said to Qiu Nuo.

"You have already seen that this painting is fake, and you came to me not to identify the painting. What is it?"

"You guys will have a competition in three days' time. I'm curious and want to go see it." Qiu Nuo said with a faint smile without any rebuttal.

"It's an online competition, outsiders can't get in, and you're not interested in the content of the competition." Chu Tianci said with a smile.

"Are you from the village too?" Qiu Nuo asked calmly.

"Of course not!" Chu Tianci said.

"Since you are not, you can go, why can't I go?" Qiu Nuo asked aggressively.

"This..." Chu Tianci was speechless for a while, and said in embarrassment. "The question is, in what capacity are you going?"

"I'm your friend, is this enough?"

Chu Tianci found that he was indeed not very good at dealing with girls, especially unreasonable girls, Yue Qianling was like this, and Qiu Nuo was also like this, so he smiled helplessly and nodded.

"Okay, I will arrange for you to participate in three days."
