Chapter Thirty-Old Man Kang

Under Azike’s guidance, the two came to a small yard outside the suburbs.

There are rockery fish ponds, flowers and trees in the courtyard. Although the area is not very large, the layout is very delicate, like an ink landscape.

“Grandpa Kang, I came to see you.”

Azike cried out cordially to an old man who was watering in the courtyard.

“Azike is here! Is your grandpa in good health?” The old man was also very happy to see Azike.

“My grandfather is very good. He always misses you old brothers and always talks about you.” Azike said.

“Oh, I’m old! I can’t run anymore, otherwise I really want to go to the prairie again!” The old man recalled with a look of nostalgia.

The old man’s name was Kang Youqing. When he went to the countryside, he jumped in at Azike’s home. Because his grandfather was about the same age as Azike’s grandfather, he became the best friend in that hard time.

Even after coming back, I still miss Azike.

When I was young, I would go back every year, but now I’m too old, and I never go back, but the attachment in my heart has never been forgotten.

Knowing that Azike is going to school here, he always takes care of her as if he were a granddaughter.

Yesterday, when Azike in Cheli heard that Wang Feng wanted to find an expert in calligraphy and painting, he immediately thought of Grandpa Kang, an authoritative expert in the field of calligraphy and painting in China, and brought Wang Feng over.

“Azike, what’s wrong with Grandpa suddenly coming to see you today?” Grandpa Kang asked.

“I can’t come to see you if I’m okay.” Azike said coquettishly.

“Hehe, yeah! This won’t be your boyfriend, right?”

Kang Youqing looked at Wang Feng behind Azike and smiled slyly.

Azike blushed and remained silent, but did not explain.

“I understand, I understand!” Grandpa Kang showed an expression of understanding, and turned to look at Wang Feng, and found that he was holding a calligraphy and painting in his hand, “It seems that you are looking for something to do with me.”

“Grandpa Kang, okay.” Wang Feng politely greeted him, and said respectfully, “I would take the liberty to interrupt you, I want you to help you look at this calligraphy and painting.”

“The old man no longer helps people read calligraphy and painting, but since he is Azike’s friend, let’s bring it in.”

Kang Youqing led the two to his painting and calligraphy room. In the middle was a long bar table made of pear wood, which was more than ten meters long, and was used for viewing calligraphy and painting.

Wang Feng immediately took out the “Drunken Concubine Picture” and spread it out carefully on the table.

And Azike cleverly took the reading glasses on the side and brought them to Elder Kang personally.

Elder Kang leaned forward, holding a magnifying glass in one hand, and carefully looked at the calligraphy and painting on the table.

“The Picture of a Lady in the Tang Palace, the sixth picture, “The Picture of a Concubine Night Banquet”.” Only the old man Kang said slowly. They are imitations and are also made by famous people, which are very valuable for collection.”

Although Elder Kang kept praising him, Wang Feng’s heart was really cool!

“Is it really just a fake? Is it possible that it is the original one? Or you keep checking it.” Wang Feng really didn’t want to believe that it was the result, and said with some disappointment.

“Hmph, boy, do you distrust me?”

Old man Kang was a little angry, “I’ve been dealing with calligraphy and calligraphy for half my life, and I can see which generation of brushwork uses ink, which generation of technique and style, although I am not talented, I can still see it.”

“Fakes are always fakes. Even if they are copied, they don’t have the imprint of that era, and they lack the original charm. This painting is undoubtedly a fake.”

“Grandpa Kang, Wang Feng didn’t mean that, but he was a little impatient. Don’t mind.” Azike was afraid of Grandpa Kang being angry, and quickly explained.

“Ah, young man, I know. I always want to pick up a leak after hearing too many stories. You have to know how easy it is.”

Elder Kang seemed to warn him, “You still have to be down-to-earth. It is far from good to be a good man. Only when you have mastered the basic skills, coupled with decades of knowledge and vision, will it be possible to encounter such unforgettable opportunities. .”

“Yes.” Wang Feng nodded modestly, but he was a bit rude just now.

At this moment, a Hong Kong accent shouted outside, “Uncle cousin, uncle cousin, I’m coming to see you.”

A fat man of about 40 years old walked in through the door. But when they saw Wang Feng, both of them were taken aback, and the smiles on their faces disappeared immediately.

“It’s you!”

“It’s you!”

The two cried out almost at the same time that the person who came was the rich Hong Kong tycoon She Yaxing from the auction house.

The enemy was extremely jealous when they met, and both of them looked at each other in an angry manner. Azike also covered his little mouth in surprise. He didn’t expect this Hong Kong tycoon to be the cousin of Grandpa Kang!

“How did you come.”

Elder Kang was also very unhappy when he saw She Yaxing.

“I just came to Changyuan to talk about business, so I will come over to see you, uncle.”

She Yaxing didn’t care about Elder Kang’s indifference. She spoke a half-baked Mandarin, licking an old face and said.

“Hmph, discussing business, wouldn’t it be that I was fancying that calligraphy and painting again and want to resell it.” Old man Kang glared at him, his face full of anger.

“Uncle cousin, I know that I did something wrong before, but it was not for my livelihood? I have stopped doing it a long time ago. I have been doing a serious business. I have been trying to figure out the paintings I sold before. I got it back.”

She Yaxing quickly explained, but from Wang Feng’s hypocritical expression, this guy is definitely farting.

But Elder Kang believed him. After all, this is his cousin and one of the few relatives.

Hearing what he said, Elder Kang’s indifferent tone suddenly eased a lot.

“Yes, my cousin taught it.” She Yaxing nodded and bowed, looking like he was being taught.

In a blink of an eye, I saw the “Elegant Concubine Night Banquet” on the table that had not been put away, and looked at Wang Feng with a smirk, and said with his Hong Kong accent, “Wang Shao, how is it? Did the identification result? Isn’t it the real thing in your mouth?”

A glance in Wang Feng’s eyes was really disgusting, so Lai said more to him.

“Hey”, She Yaxing was extremely proud, and turned to look at Elder Kang, “Cousin, Shaoke Wang said that this painting is very likely to be authentic, so you have to help him take a look!”

“I’ve already seen it, the fake in the early Song Dynasty is undoubtedly.” Old man Kang didn’t know what was going on between them, he said with certainty after he looked at it again.

She Yaxing was even more proud of hearing what Elder Kang said, “Haha, a counterfeit from the early Song Dynasty, it is really ridiculous that it still wants to be authentic.”

Said sarcastically, “The 10 million spent by Young Master Wang is really worth it, and I really admire She Mou.”

It shouldn’t be! Where is the problem? Wang Feng thought secretly in puzzlement.

By the way, the discovery of this authentic piece is quite legendary.

It is rumored that a wealthy businessman in Hong Kong, the daughter of She Yaxing, accidentally dropped the painting in the water. This allowed the original work to be reproduced in the world. Is it possible that there is something hidden here.

Seeing the burning traces of the corner, Wang Feng asked Mr. Kang, “Grandpa Kang, do you think it is possible that the ancients deliberately made fakes on the painting in order to protect the authenticity. For example, special paints must be washed with water or It is the method of burning to reveal it.”

“Haha, laughed at me.” She Yaxing laughed unscrupulously, “I think you have watched a lot of martial arts dramas. You can even think of this kind of idea. I really think there is such a thing in the world? Really? it’s so funny.”

“You shut up, no one will treat you as dumb if you don’t speak.” Wang Feng glared at She Yaxing in disgust, waiting for Elder Kang’s reply.

“This is not impossible.” Old man Kang said thoughtfully, “In ancient times, there were indeed various ways of using fakes, but most of them have been lost, and I don’t even know them. But those are all tricks, who will How about using him to destroy an authentic piece?”

“Besides, I’ve seen your painting carefully, and I didn’t find any unusual traces. It is indeed a fake, and it is absolutely impossible to be authentic.”

“Oh.” Hearing this, Wang Feng was disappointed.

Breaking off the mortgage loan for the ancient paintings is still the second option, mainly because the original paintings of this painting will be sold abroad by She Yaxing in a few years, which really makes him feel distressed.

But where did this product come from? Wang Feng looked at She Yaxing, puzzled.

“Wang Shao, do you think this is okay? If you are willing to sell, I can still collect five million, and you can also lose a little bit.” She Yaxing said with a smile.

This painting is not very valuable in Wang Feng’s hands, but in his hands, even if it is a fake from the early Song Dynasty, he can sell it for a large price abroad.

“Wang Feng bought it for ten million. You want to take it back for five million. The beauty you want.” Azike on the side could not bear it, and stomped his feet in anger.

“Hey, you can’t say that. He paid 10 million. What does it have to do with me? That is, I am willing to accept it, and it is not necessarily whether he will accept it or not.”

She Yaxing became more and more proud as she spoke. He was extremely happy to see Wang Feng’s jokes.

“Hmph, boss She, don’t worry, I still don’t want your money, even if I burn this picture, I won’t give it to you cheaply.” Wang Feng said coldly.

Then he rolled up the scroll and came to the yard.

“What is he doing?” Everyone looked at it puzzledly.

I saw Wang Feng threw the painting directly into the pool.

“Fuck, this is ten million!” She Yaxing was dumbfounded at the time. He didn’t expect that this kid would really do what he said, and would not give it to himself if he ruined it.
