Play treasure master

Chapter 634 Tan Xinding Visits

After Lao Huang finished speaking, Xiao Gu blushed, and wiped his forehead with his hand, "Seniors, today I admit that I am wronged, this painting is here to stay, I hope you can teach me!"

Lao Huang still didn't speak, just looked at Yu Yao.

Yu Yao took out the cigarette case and flicked one to Xiao Gu, "Smoking?"

Xiao Gu thought for a while and took the cigarette.

Yu Yao also lit a cigarette, took a puff, and looked at Lao Huang first, "Old Huang, since this is all over, let me say a few words."

Lao Huang smiled, "I want to hear it too, you can tell me in advance."

"You are not alone in framing and making old." Yu Yaofu looked at Xiaogu again and said.

Xiao Gu looked surprised, "You, this, you, how did you see it?"

"The heart and ink of this painting are all made of old paper and ink from the Qianlong period, but the supporting piece of rice paper is of a later date, probably from the period of the Republic of China, so it must be mounted first, and then made old."

Yu Yao continued, "The person who did the mounting seems not very expert. The most important thing is that they didn't use traditional paste, they used bought paste, and the uniformity of the application was a bit poor. As for the old ones, they did it according to the It is traditionally hand-pasted to make it old, so there is a problem, and there is a slight color difference on the back of the support paper."

Xiaogu's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and he wiped it with his hand holding a cigarette, almost squinting his eyes from the soot.

"No way, this problem has to be solved, so the old master can only make up for the color difference. This way, the paper will make people feel older than the painting heart." Yu Yao stopped when he said this.

And at the same time, Lao Huang couldn't help coughing twice, and sighed slightly, "I can't accept it."

Xiao Gu looked at Yu Yao, "Thank you, Mr. Zhang Yan, for your enlightenment! It seems that it is not unreasonable to be despised by others! You have lived and learned, and antiques are a system engineering, and you only have one skill. It seems that it is really not good."

Yu Yao and Lao Huang looked at each other without making a sound.

Xiao Gu's mood seemed to fluctuate a bit, "Actually, I was the one who mounted the frame..." Halfway through the sentence, he seemed to wake up again, stopped, stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave!"

"Slow down!" Lao Huang got up and looked at Yu Yao, "I'm making my own decision, don't worry?"

"You are the boss, and I am here to help."

Lao Huang picked up the calligraphy and painting box, "Xiao Gu, I won't keep this thing, you can take it away, we have something to talk about in the future."

Xiao Gu was taken aback for a moment, and then sighed again, "I'm afraid Boss Huang will despise something like this that has been seen through."

"That's not it." Lao Huang waved his hand, "I don't want to cause trouble, I just like to make friends."

"Understood! Boss Huang, don't worry, I won't bring up this matter again." Xiao Gu arched his hands, and finally took the painting and left.

After Xiao Gu left, Lao Huang frowned, "Why do I think this is also a member of the small team of the Academy of Fine Arts?"

"Almost." Yu Yao interjected, "It's just strange, why did they start selling paintings by themselves? Didn't they say they took on a big job?"

"Could it be that the big work has come to an end?" Lao Huang pondered.

Yu Yao lit another cigarette, smoked half of it silently, and suddenly nodded his finger, "I understand."

"How to say?"

"These paintings are all faulty! In other words, they didn't do it right! The owner was not satisfied and didn't pay for it!" Yu Yao analyzed.

"No money?" Lao Huang said, "But take this mirror heart as an example. If the owner doesn't pay money and return it, the old paper and old ink's painting heart should be sold directly. Why bother to spend money on the old entrustment?" piece?"

Yu Yao responded, "This mirror, what if they put the holder on themselves before sending it? Isn't that the problem?"

"Look at me, I'm confused!" Lao Huang patted his forehead lightly.

"Perhaps, it is because this big job has not been fully completed that the owner did not go too far. Although they did not pay for the painting, they still helped them make the painting old, and then let them sell it for money."

"That makes sense." Lao Huang nodded, and then said, "The problem with the mirror heart is that they added the superfluous by themselves, so they simply mounted it first. Then the painting by Shangguan Zhou is the problem of the ink pad used for the seal?"

"Yes. If the owner is the Tan family, the ink pad problem may not be passed. But it is still a bit strange."

"You mean why the Tan family didn't provide high-quality Qing Dynasty ink pads? This one may have been provided, but it was used up or lost. They made their own decisions?"

Yu Yao nodded, "It's also possible. At least the two young men, a woman and a man, feel a little overconfident."

"You seem to have fallen in." Lao Huang got up and took two steps, "I advise you, stay away from right and wrong."

"I know. At least, if someone comes to ask for a painting, I will return it."

"I said you shouldn't have kept it at that time, just like I am today. Given your current situation, what's the use of keeping a fake painting?"

"It's okay." Yu Yao said vaguely.Lao Huang didn't know about the Wanli lacquer pasted with mother-of-pearl royal pens, and Yu Yao couldn't explain it either.

As Yu Yao guessed, this old painting scroll was added by the Tan family's help, but they didn't realize that there was something else in the scroll.

If all the imitation paintings were successfully sold, the Tan family probably wouldn't take any more action, but they were spotted on the spot and the paintings were seized. To be careful, they should handle it properly.Lao Huang doesn't keep any paintings, and Xiao Gu doesn't say much, so there will be no trouble.

It's just that Yu Yao didn't expect that the Tan family came so quickly, and it was Tan Xinding who came.

The next afternoon, Yu Yao was drinking tea at Geguzhai, when Tan Xinding came to the door alone, carrying two delicate gift boxes in his hand.

"Mr. Yu, long time no see!"

"Hey, Brother Tan, what brought you here?"

"I was originally in Shanghai on business, and a friend introduced me to Jiangzhou to collect some old paintings. Now that I'm in Jiangzhou, I have to pay a visit to Mr. Yu!"

"What's a good painting? I haven't heard of it in Jiangzhou, Brother Tan is really well-informed!"

"Mr. Yu has good eyesight, so you can see it as a joke?"

The two exchanged some pleasantries, Tan Xinding couldn't help but look at the store door, Yu Yao stepped forward to close the store door, and brewed another pot of tea, "I went to the southwest area a while ago and brought back some Dianhong spring tea, brother Tan to try it. "

The two drank a few sips of tea, Yu Yao didn't ask about the painting again, Tan Xinding smiled, and picked it up again, "Everything is unexpected, I paid a deposit for one of the paintings, and it turned out It was sold by the owner! Tell me about it!"

"Is there such a thing? The owner of the goods has to pay!"

"The owner's family is in trouble, and I'm soft-hearted. Just take it back." Tan Xinding looked at Yu Yao, "But it's really a coincidence. The owner said that the painting was sold to Ge Guzhai! I don't know if it was Yu Yao. Did you receive it, sir, or the guy in the shop?"

"Sold here?" Yu Yao tapped his temple, "Has the painting been confiscated recently? Oh! Brother Tan is talking about the one that was confiscated by me, right?"

"Shut it down? This..."

Tan Xinding must have known that he was detained, but his expression and reaction were quite natural.
