Daluo Jinxian in the city

Chapter 517
Art exhibition?Ye Fei was suddenly surprised.

It turns out that Li Chengye's efforts in the ancient painting market have driven the silk painting markets in Zhonghai, East China, South China, North China, and West China.

Every day, many art dealers go to Feiye Group to send silk paintings in their hands. In the antique market, there are always a lot of fakes, and silk paintings are naturally the same, so half of these silk paintings sent from various places every day are fake. In order to verify the authenticity, several experts hired by Li Chengye with a high salary are too busy every day.

Even so, there are still many silk paintings that are too late to be appraised. Seeing this situation, those art dealers simply organized an art exhibition together, and then invited Li Chengye to come and watch it. spectators, by the way to earn a few small ticket tickets.

After all, if Li Chengye did not accept these paintings, they would not earn money, but would lose a sum of transportation costs. At least they would not lose money if they held an exhibition.

The next moment, Li Chengye said on the phone, "Yes, master, the art dealers have joined together to hold an art exhibition, please let us go to see it, Master doesn't like those silk paintings, just to see if there is anything we like, let's buy it come down."

Ye Fei thought about it, it would be too boring to just wait at home to deliver these silk paintings to his door, he might as well go out and have a look, maybe he will have good luck, so he immediately said, "Okay, master almost there."

After a while, Ye Fei landed on the top of Feiye Building, where Li Chengye was already waiting.

Li Chengye took two experts on treasure appraisal, and then, together with Ye Fei, headed towards the direction of the art exhibition.

One of the two experts is a middle-aged man in his 70s named Li Jingshan, and the other is an old man in his [-]s named Muren. Because Li Jingshan is younger, Muren calls him Jingshan, and Muren Because of his age, he was honored as Mr. Mu by Li Jingshan.

Both of them have relatively deep attainments in ancient painting in China, especially in silk painting, they are experts. The reason why Li Chengye hired them was naturally because of their talent in this area.

Li Jingshan and Muren were a little surprised when they saw that Li Chengye had brought a boy with a flat head, but in front of them, Li Chengye was unwilling to casually reveal his master's identity, but skipped over Ye Fei's identity without introducing him, and directly Said to them, "Let's go."

Seeing Li Chengye speaking, the two quickly agreed.

As for Ye Fei, they subconsciously regarded them as Li Chengye's descendants, or relatives and nephews. Maybe they were interested in collecting antiques, so they followed to see the excitement. After all, the two of them are definitely considered to be friends Experts in this field were often followed by people before, just to open their eyes.

That being the case, seeing that Ye Fei was not willing to speak, they naturally did not speak to him.

A few people took Li Chengye's special car and went west for 10 minutes to the destination of the trip, Zhang Qianye Art Museum, a famous art gallery in Zhonghai.

This exhibition hall occupies a large area, and it is considered one of the largest halls in Zhonghai. Li Chengye did not expect that these art dealers rented such a large hall in order to please him. From this point of view, there are at least thousands of paintings in it. framed.

Thousands of silk paintings are exhibited together, regardless of whether they are real or not, this scale alone can be regarded as a rare exhibition of ancient paintings in recent years.

Seeing this scene, Li Jingshan and Mu Ren seemed a little excited, because it was finally time for them to show their skills, especially in front of Li Chengye, a famous figure in Zhonghai City. Needless to say, the benefits in the future are also obvious.

After getting out of the car, the organizer of the art exhibition immediately sent someone to greet him.

Although there were many silk paintings this time and many art dealers came, but in order to leave a good impression on Li Chengye, not all the art dealers came to welcome them together, but sent two more elegant-looking middle-aged people to greet them.

These two people, one surnamed Sun, called Sun Hua, and the other surnamed Zhou, called Zhou Chao, are both well-known art dealers in China. This time when they heard that Li Chengye was looking to buy silk paintings, they all brought a lot of paintings, hoping to be able to make brushes big deal.

Sun Hua and Zhou Chao also knew Li Jingshan and Mu Ren, and when they met, they immediately called out, "Brother Jingshan, Mr. Mu." They seemed very close.

After all, in the domestic circle, there are only a few real masters, and they have dealt with each other before.

The two nodded slightly when they saw Sun Hua and Zhou Chao, but they didn't dare to look too familiar. After all, they would have to verify the authenticity later, and they seemed too affectionate at this time, which would inevitably make Li Chengye feel unhappy. Performance has to be measured.

As for Ye Fei, he was subconsciously ignored by Sun Hua and Zhou Chao. After all, in this circle, there are very few people who look so young. People like Ye Fei are mostly novices who come to visit and study. Even if they came with Li Chengye, they might not take a second look.

Several people walked towards the art gallery while talking.

Originally, this silk painting exhibition was going to be held for a week, but today when they heard that Li Chengye was coming, the organizers deliberately cleared the venue and only invited Li Chengye and his group to show respect for this legendary old man.

Li Chengye is used to enjoying this kind of treatment. Seeing this kind of situation, he didn't change his expression, he didn't care at all, his face was indifferent, full of the demeanor of a big man.

The same is true for Ye Fei. From ancient times to the present, he has seen countless treasures, so naturally he doesn't feel that there is anything special about them.

Li Chengye's attitude was seen by several people, so he naturally took it for granted, but Ye Fei also had such an expression, which immediately made several people feel uncomfortable. He is a man of the hour in Zhonghai, who doesn't know that Mr. Li stomped his feet and turned pale , but what kind of onion are you, why do you put on such an attitude.

The old man Muren was a little strange, but the three young ones immediately said something in their hearts, and at the same time sarcasm Ye Fei a few words, so that they could feel more balanced.

How did they know that even Li Chengye didn't dare to put on a look of condescension in front of Ye Fei. If it wasn't for Ye Fei's whim, these few people might not be able to see him today.

Only at this time, several people had already entered the lobby of the art gallery, and what caught their eyes was a picture of farming cattle.

Sun Hua immediately said, "This is a painting brought by a friend of mine this time. It is a painting of Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period. The painting is exquisite and lifelike. It is very vivid and vividly reflects the scene of the people of Chu State when they were farming... "

Before he finished speaking, Li Jingshan immediately said, "Don't look at it, this is a copy from the period of the Republic of China, not the real one from the Spring and Autumn Period, so you don't need to look at this painting."

Mu Ren didn't speak after hearing this, but also smiled.

A look of relief suddenly appeared on Sun Hua's face, and he said, "I also know that there are some problems with this painting, but my friend insisted on bringing it to test the eyesight of the two of you. Already!"

Li Jingshan snorted coldly, "You bring it even though you know there is a problem, what does your friend mean? Do you want to test the eyesight of me and Elder Mu?"

Sun Hua immediately replied with a face of embarrassment, "Isn't it? I also persuaded my friend. Both of you are experts in such fakes. They have sharp eyes, so it is impossible not to see it, but he just doesn't listen. How about now?" , It’s a waste of embarrassment, isn’t it, I can’t help it, I was forced by this friend, so I had to bring this fake painting from the Republic of China, you two won’t really blame me.”

As he said that, Sun Hua instantly burst into a smile, and the embarrassment disappeared without a trace.

Li Jingshan said a few words politely, saying that he doesn't mind, but secretly cursing shamelessly in his heart, who knows if this painting is yours or your friend's, it is clearly here to deceive people, but it is such a cover, what a profiteer, a profiteer !
When the two were lying, Zhou Chao suddenly spoke.

"Guys, please take a look at the silk painting of war horses from Qin during the Warring States period that I brought this time. This was painted by Fan Wuqi, a famous painter of Qin at that time. It is a rare treasure. You should look carefully."

Li Jingshan looked at it for a while, and immediately showed a disdainful look on his face, and said, "Boss Zhou, Boss Zhou, you still think we are newbies, this painting is true from the Warring States period, but it is not painted by Fan Wuqi It is just a copy of his painting by a folk painter. This can be seen from the painting method of this horse. Fan Wuqi's horse has smooth lines, focusing on spirit rather than shape. In this painting, the lines on it It is obviously not drawn with one stroke, but the effect produced by repeated tracing, so this painting is by no means Fan Wuqi, but judging from the craftsmanship of the canvas, it is the craftsmanship of the Qin State during the Warring States Period. This should not be true. Wrong."

Zhou Chao immediately became a little anxious when he heard this, and said, "Brother Jingshan, don't talk nonsense, this painting is indeed a masterpiece of Fan Wuqi, don't misread it, look at the brushstrokes, look at the expression of the horse, This is so realistic, only Fan Wuqi could draw such a painting at that time, you have to look carefully!"

Li Jingshan immediately smiled when he heard the words, and said, "Boss Zhou, don't continue to fool us. Mr. Li wants silk paintings from the Spring and Autumn Period to the Warring States Period, but he didn't say that he must have Fan Wuqi. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhou Chao suddenly came to his senses and said, "That's right, that's right, but it's really Fan Wuqi's work, it's really his!"

At this time, seeing this situation, Li Jingshan turned around and said to Li Chengye, "Mr. Li, although the person in this painting is wrong, the timing is right. How about you refer to it?"

Ye Fei didn't expect them to tell so much about a silk painting, and he immediately found it interesting, so he began to examine it carefully.

Li Chengye saw that Ye Fei seemed to be interested, so he whispered to Ye Fei, "Master, what do you think of this picture?"
