Jianbao life

Chapter 658

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Uncle Wu said with a smile: "That's true, but I think the most important thing is to be influenced by what others say. Of course, Ma Laocai's poor character is also a big factor. If it wasn't for Ma Laocai With such a bad character, I think someone will buy it back."

Chu Chen also laughed and said, "It's his own doing. Of course, if Ma Laocai didn't have such a character, I wouldn't be able to do such a good thing."

"Uncle, if this calligraphy is genuine, how much is it worth?" Lin Guangxin asked beside him.

Chu Chen shook his head: "This work is a masterpiece made by Zhao Mengfu in his later years. At this time, his calligraphy is already a mature 'Zhao style', and this "Luo Shen Fu" should be said to be Zhao Mengfu's representative work. Its meaning is somewhat special, so the price is really hard to estimate, but in general, there must be more than ten million."

Although the ability has already given a price before, the market value of a famous work like Zhao Mengfu, especially a masterpiece with extraordinary significance, is really hard to say, because if this thing goes to the auction, it will definitely be appreciated by many people. After all, there will be competition, and no one can imagine the final transaction price.

"Thousand... ten million!" Lin Guangxin was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped when he heard what Chu Chen said. Of course, except for Uncle Wu, other people around him were not much better.

After a long time, Lin Dacheng came back to his senses, and muttered to himself: "It took 45 yuan, and it turned into more than [-] million yuan in the blink of an eye. This money is too good to earn a little bit!"

Seeing Lin Dacheng's heartbeat, Uncle Wu said: "Dacheng, things like this in the antique industry are rare. I have been in this industry for 20 years. If things like Xiaochen are so easy to come across Come on, I've already become a billionaire, why should I worry about Xiao Ke's tuition before?"

Hearing this, Lin Dacheng thought about it for a while, so he smiled a little embarrassedly.

Uncle Wu smiled slightly, knowing that his words had worked. You must know that the water in the antique industry is really too deep. If a person like Lin Dacheng enters this industry rashly, there is a [-]% possibility in [-]% He didn't expect that Lin Dacheng's family would be bankrupt, and he would blame Chu Chen for it.

Because we are going back to Beijing tomorrow, everyone decided to go to bed early, so Chu Chen put away the hand scroll and put it back in the box. At this time, Uncle Wu said, "Xiao Chen, I think that this piece of "Fu of Luoshen" It’s better to ask Mr. Liu to help you take another look!”

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, my accumulation of calligraphy and painting appraisal is not enough. I will definitely show it to the master when I go back. I think the master will be interested."

"That's for sure, Mr. Liu's calligraphy is learned from Zhao Mengfu, how could he not be interested?" Uncle Wu laughed.

"Well! When we go back tomorrow, we will ask Uncle Zhao to go there together..."

The next day, Chu Chen and others got up early in the morning. After breakfast, Chu Chen first helped Aunt Wu's elder brother get the pulse, and then asked: "Uncle, do you really plan to go to the capital with us?" ?”

The old man smiled and shook his head, expressing that it was hard to leave his homeland and he did not want to go to the capital.

In the past few days, Chu Chen and others have persuaded the old man several times, but the old man is more stubborn and never agrees.

Seeing that the old man still didn't agree, Chu Chen didn't intend to persuade him any more. The reason why he wanted to take the old man to the capital was also for the convenience of acupuncture. After all, Wucheng didn't have an airport yet, so he couldn't come here by plane. It's a bit of a waste of time.

Now that the old man is unwilling, Chu Chen can only go there when the old man wants acupuncture. Fortunately, the old man's treatment is mainly medicine stones, supplemented by acupuncture, so he doesn't have to come often.

Of course, this is not the main reason for not persuading him anymore. The key is that the old man is too weak now. Chu Chen is afraid that the old man’s body will not be able to bear the long journey. Since the old man will not go, it will save him from worrying.

Besides, if he really couldn't make it back by then, he still had a prescription to replace acupuncture, but that prescription was still in the book and hadn't been clinically tested, so if it wasn't impossible, he didn't want to test it on the elderly.

As for Mr. Chu, Chu Chen did not replace acupuncture with medicine, but during the last acupuncture, he discovered a serious condition. Of course, it was not caused by his treatment, but the previous lesion he did not have. Discover.

Now Mr. Chu can only take the medicine first, and then do acupuncture after the place stabilizes. As for the time, Chu Chen estimates that it will take one to two months.

After bidding farewell to Lin Dacheng's family, Chu Chen began to travel long distances again, and when they returned to Yuhuating in the capital, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon.

Because he had called beforehand, Zhao Xueyi was already waiting for them in the living room. When he saw Chu Chen and the others looking dusty, he said, "Xiao Chen, you should be tired after driving for several hours. Let’s wait until tomorrow for Lao Na’s appraisal.”

Hu Yong muttered to the side: "Originally I wanted to go, but Brother Chu disagreed!"

Chu Chen scolded with a smile: "You bastard, I see that you are going to be a father. Let me measure you and ask you to spend more time with your Xiaoping. Are you still not happy?"

"This is my job, and Xiaoping supports me!" Hu Yong said eloquently.

Chu Chen smiled and said: "Yes! It seems that you just want me to be an evil landlord! Then I can only help you from now on! Anyway, you are going to Jinling, so come with me on Saturday!"

The reason why Hu Yong was going to Jinling was also because the bodyguard he found for Chu Chen was in a small town not far from Jinling, so it was considered a drop-in.

Everyone laughed, and Hu Yong responded with a smile, "Okay!"

After laughing, Chu Chen asked Uncle Wu, "Dad, what do you think?"

Uncle Wu waved his hand with a smile: "I was wading along the way, although I'm a little tired, but it's okay to see your appraisal."

"Then let's go to my master!" Chu Chen said.

"Okay, let's go..."

The three of them came to Mr. Liu's side, and unexpectedly discovered that Mr. Liu still had guests. One of them, Chu Chen, knew him. He was the one who specialized in calligraphy and painting that he had met at the exchange meeting organized by the Beijing Antique Association. District Elder (Chapter 310 VII).

In addition, there was a middle-aged man who was nearly 50 years old beside Elder Ou. This man had a bookish look and was well dressed. From Chu Chen's first impression, he felt that this man should be either a lecturer or a professor at a university.

After saying hello, Mr. Liu gave a brief introduction to the two parties. Sure enough, as Chu Chen thought, the middle-aged man was surnamed Zheng, and he was an associate professor of the History Department of Capital University.

Mr. Liu said with a smile, "Ah Chen, you came just in time to take a look at this calligraphy work by Zhao Mengfu."

Hearing this, Chu Chen and the others couldn't help being slightly taken aback. They came here to let Mr. Liu appraise Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy works. They didn't expect Mr. Ou's purpose to be the same as theirs.

Seeing the surprised expressions of the three of them, Elder Liu asked, "Why, is there any problem?"
Chu Chen smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, let me take a look first..."

After speaking, he put on his gloves and stepped forward.When he saw the whole picture of the work, he realized that the work in front of him was also a hand scroll, but it was different from his "Luo Shen Fu", it was a running script work, and the content was "Taishang Wuji Hunyuan One Qi Saves People" .

And one more difference is that there are quite a few collection seals on this work, and Chu Chen counted them in detail, there are as many as fourteen.However, although there are many collection seals, after a closer look, it is found that these collectors are basically little-known collectors in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and some of them are father-son relationships.

Among the authenticity elements of authenticity of calligraphy, painting and stele art, the collection seal plays a very important role.The most famous collection of bells is Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. Many great works of the Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan Dynasties, and Song Tuo's rare copies all have the seals of "Qianlong Yulan Treasure", "Qianlong Appreciation", and "Suitable for Children and Grandchildren". It shows the history that these paintings and calligraphy were once collected by the emperor.

From the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the Republic of China, there were also many high-level connoisseurs. The paintings and calligraphy collected by them with bells and seals are more reliable.Such as "Tianxi Pavilion" in Xiang Zijing in Ming Dynasty, "Xuan Shang Zhai" in Dong Qichang, "Banana Forest" in Liang Qingbiao in Qing Dynasty, "Yizhou Collection" in Anqi, "Jiangcun" in Gao Shiqi, and Qingyuanji in the Republic of China. "Xu Zhai Appreciation" is valued by the collectors.

However, the collection seal is only used as a basis for reference, and the collection seal does not mean that the work is authentic, especially if it is the collection seal of some small artists, it is not so important for the identification of calligraphy and painting.The reason is also simple, this person's eyesight is not very good, how reliable is the result of the appraisal?

Looking at the handwriting again, although running script and regular script are two kinds of fonts, since they were both written by Zhao Mengfu, the styles of the two should be similar. I feel that although the two are similar, they are similar in appearance at most, and the difference in inner spirit is too far. ...

With an idea in mind, Chu Chen raised his head, and Ou Lao hurriedly asked, "Xiao Chu, how is this work?"

Before Chu Chen answered, he glanced at Mr. Liu, who smiled and said, "It's okay, you can just say it!"

Chu Chen nodded, and said, "Seniors, let me just say it straight. I think that although this work is good, it still can't reach Zhao Mengfu's level!"

Professor Zheng didn't look at Chu Chen differently because he was young. He frowned and said, "I also know that this work is very different from Zhao Mengfu's later style, but judging from the inscription, it was in the 28th year of the Yuan Dynasty that Zhao Mengfu was born at this time. At the age of 37, it is the early stage of his calligraphy career."

"However, Zhao Mengfu's early and late styles are very different, and many of his early works were considered fakes, such as Zhao Mengfu's two-body "Thousand-Character Document", which is quite controversial. This work of mine, I think it should not be judged based on Zhao Mengfu's later calligraphy style..."
