Tokyo: This narration is wrong!

Bai Chuan smiled and said,

"Senior, this is not Wang Xizhi's original work. It is a high imitation by a later generation. It was written by a man named Li Keyi. But it can be considered an antique because Li Keyi was also from the Ming Dynasty. This copybook is from the Ming Dynasty. ”

"What? Isn't it Wang Xizhi's original work?"

Akagi Kazuhiro asked in surprise.

Bai Chuan nodded,

"Yes, if you don't believe it, you can send it to a professional treasure appraisal institution to use scientific instruments for testing. This is indeed from the Ming Dynasty. The handwriting imitated by this person is lifelike. He is also considered a master of calligraphy. It is indeed difficult to distinguish the handwriting, but it can be passed Paper, most of the bast fiber paper in the Ming and Qing Dynasties also has a transparent gelatin film on the surface. The carefully crafted bast fiber paper not only has pure and fine white paper, but also has an obvious silky luster. , as silky as cotton, so it has the reputation of "white cotton paper". The paper used in this copybook is white cotton paper. "

"That's actually the case."

Akagi Kazuhiro sighed and immediately invited Shirakawa to continue appraising the three landscape paintings.

"This is an authentic painting by the layman Long Mian of the Northern Song Dynasty."

Bai Chuan appraised.

"Who is Master Longmian?"

Akagi Aoiko asked curiously.

Shirakawa looked at Chihiro Akagi. She had a calm expression and asked,

"Does Miss Qianxun know?"

Chihiro Akagi shook his head, "I also know little about Chinese culture, and I don't know about Master Long Mian."

But at least you know Wang Xizhi.

Bai Chuan smiled and explained,

"Long Mian Jushi, whose real name is Li Gonglin, also known as Bo Shi, Long Mian Jushi is his nickname.

Li Gonglin came from a well-known family. His father, Li Xuyi, was once the prime minister of Dali Temple and liked to collect Dharma books and famous paintings. Therefore, Li Gonglin was deeply influenced by art since he was a child.

He is knowledgeable, good at antiquity, and knows many strange characters. Since the Xia and Shang Dynasties, Zhong Ding Zun and Yi have been able to test the generation of the Yi people, identify the characters, and are good at poetry and prose. Wang Anshi, Su Shi, Mi Fu and Huang Tingjian were close friends and guests of the Prince Consort Wang Shen.

In the third year of Song Xining's reign, he became a Jinshi and served successively as Nankang and Changyuan Wei, Sizhou Lushi and other local officials. Later, he went to Beijing and served as Zhongshu Menxia Provincial Deletion Official, Yushitai Inspector and Chaofenglang.

Li Gonglin has a wide range of expressions in painting creation, including Taoism, figures, pommel horses, palaces, landscapes, flowers and birds, etc., and he is good at copying.

His most famous masterpiece is actually "Five Horses".

This "Landscape of Hometown" was actually painted when he was serving as Sizhou Recorder and joining the army. Later generations thought it was lost. "

"Takahashi-kun, I didn't expect you to know so much about Chinese culture."

Akagi Aoiko said with a smile.

Chihiro Akagi also listened very carefully.

Later, Shirakawa helped Akagi Kazuyu identify two other paintings and got the answer that they were all fakes.

Akagi Kazuhiro directly tore the two fakes into pieces. He was not in the habit of collecting fakes.

He admired Baichuan even more. He could not identify the difference between the paintings, but Baichuan could distinguish them through clues.

When Shirakawa walked up to the Buddha's head, he suddenly had the urge to send Akagi Kazuyu and the Buddha's head to the Museum of Chinese History.

Kazuhiro Akagi can just kneel at the entrance of the museum.

"Is this authentic?"

After appraising a few treasures just now, Akagi Kazuhiro already trusts Shirakawa.

Baichuan circled around the Buddha's head, looked at it carefully, took the servant's gloves, put them on and touched them gently, and finally sighed regretfully,

"It's very similar, but it's not an authentic piece. It's an imitation of the jade Buddha head from Wu Zetian's period. Even if it's not authentic, it's good to have as a decoration at home for appreciation."

Bai Chuan said with a smile.

Akagi Kazuhiro asked, "How do you know it's not authentic?"

Shirakawa made some nonsense based on history, and Akagi Ichiyu was stunned. Akagi Aoiko and several other clan elders also believed it.

"Hey, what a pity. Since it's not true, there's no point in keeping it."

Akagi Kazuhiro wanted to destroy this "fake" that he spent a lot of money to buy like the previous fakes, but Shirakawa stopped him.

"Since senior doesn't want it, why not give it to me? Even if it's a fake, it's still real jade. It would be a pity to smash it. I can keep it as a decoration at home."

Chapter 422 421·The tradition of the Akagi family

In the Akagi family house, the luxuriously decorated and simple banquet hall is divided into an outer courtyard and an inner room.

In the inner room, Shirakawa was accompanying Chihiro Akagi's sixth grandfather and the patriarch of the Akagi family, Ichiyu Akagi, to appraise treasures.

Chihiro Akagi, his mother Aoiko Akagi, and five other elderly female clan elders were also among them.

What was displayed in front of them was a crystal clear jade Buddha head. The Buddha head was carved lifelike, with a slight smile on its face, full of charm, and the production process was very particular. It was quite a legacy of the Tang Dynasty Buddha statues.

Unfortunately, Bai Chuan said it was a fake and pointed out several flaws.

Akagi Kazuhiro deeply believed in Shirakawa's words and believed that Shirakawa had a unique vision and was indeed a master of treasure appraisal.

Just when Akagi Kazuhiro was about to smash the fake and destroy it, Shirakawa proposed to collect it as a decoration.

Kazuhiro Akagi said generously, "Of course, if Takahashi-kun likes it, I can just give it to you."

The servant packed the Buddha's head and put it away, planning to give it to Bai Chuan when he left the table.

"Thanks."

Shirakawa looked at Kazuhiro Akagi gratefully, and planned to mail this national treasure to the Huaguo Museum when he returned.

Sure enough, when people have achieved a little success, they will naturally want to do some charity work.

Shirakawa thought in his heart.

The last broken sword was identified as belonging to a samurai from the island country. Because it was broken and the samurai was not well-known, its collection value was not obvious.

"Takahashi, do you want to join the treasure appraisal club?"

Akagi Kazuhiro invited.

"Okay."

Shirakawa was quick to follow the advice and felt that having an extra identity was nothing.

Akagi Kazuhiro smiled and pulled Shirakawa to his seat, and asked his tea slave to make tea for Shirakawa himself, "Haha, Takahashi and I really hit it off at first sight, Chihiro, your fiancé is not bad."

Akagi Chihiro smiled slightly, "Takahashi is not best at treasure appraisal, but solving cases."

"Solve cases?"

The white-haired Akagi Ai looked at Shirakawa with curved eyebrows, "I didn't expect Takahashi to be a detective."

Akagi Aoi and several others also looked at Shirakawa curiously.

Shirakawa waved his hand and said modestly, "I'm not a detective, I can only solve ordinary cases."

Akagi Ai took off a jade bracelet from her hand, "There are a pair of jade bracelets. I always wear one. The other one was originally my sister Luansheng. Unfortunately, she died young, so my mother gave her jade bracelet to me for safekeeping. I kept it on the bedside table, but half a year ago, I suddenly couldn't find it. I asked all the servants, and they all said they hadn't taken it. Can Takahashi help me find it?"

"Okay, I'll try, but I can't guarantee that I can find it back."

Shirakawa looked at Akagi Ai, and then at the jade bracelet.

"Third grandma, Takahashi is good at criminal cases, so don't make it difficult for him to find things."

Akagi Chihiro said lightly.

Shirakawa smiled. This was the first time he heard Akagi Chihiro speak for himself.

"It's okay, it's a simple matter."

Since entering the inner room, Shirakawa has observed all the elders here. This Akagi Ai has always maintained a kind smile and is the easiest person to get along with. When she watched Shirakawa appraise the treasure, she even showed a child's surprise expression, which formed a sharp contrast with the other four old men who were not emotional.

Even without the appraisal technique, Shirakawa could see that she was different from others.

"Grandma Akagi, do you have a granddaughter named Akagi Masako?"

"Yes."

Akagi Ai said.

"She should also come to the banquet, right?"

"Here."

Akagi Ai replied.

"Then please bring her in."

Said Shirakawa.

Akagi Chihiro turned around and looked at the servants. The servants left the inner room, came to the outer courtyard, and invited Akagi Masako in.

Everyone was surprised at what Shirakawa was going to do.

Masako Akagi is a 12-year-old girl, wearing a pink kimono. She still has baby fat on her face, and looks very cute. She first bowed to Chihiro Akagi, and then bowed to the elders of the family.

"Hello, head of the family."

"Hello, grandma, second grandma, third grandma, fourth grandma, fifth grandma, and sixth grandpa."

"Good girl, come here quickly."

Akagi Ai waved at Masako Akagi and called her over.

She looked up and looked at Shirakawa curiously.

She was young, so she sat at the last seat at the family dinner. She couldn't observe Shirakawa closely, and could only watch him from a distance.

"Takahashi-kun, it's our first meeting, please take care of me."

Akagi Ai said politely.

Shirakawa smiled and said, "Miss Masako, it's our first meeting, please take care of me."

"Takahashi-kun, can you tell me why you called Masako here?"

Akagi Ai asked.

Kazuhiro Akagi drank tea and guessed, "Could it be that Masako took the bracelet?"

"No, it was Senior Ai who gave the bracelet to Masako half a year ago."

Shirakawa said lightly.

"Ai, is that so?"

The oldest Akagi Aki asked, Kazuhiro Akagi shook his head, "I don't remember."

Masako Akagi was stunned for a moment, and seemed to realize something. She rolled up her sleeves and revealed the jade bracelet.

"Grandma San, this is indeed what you gave me. Are you looking for it? If you want to take it back, I will give it back to you immediately."

"Good boy, since I gave it to you, just wear it."

Akagi Ai smiled and said, "My memory is really too bad."

"Have you always forgotten something recently?"

Shirakawa asked.

Akagi Ai nodded slightly, "Yes, I always forget things recently, probably because I'm old, but I remember things when I was young very clearly."

"You should take time to go to the hospital."

Baichuan guessed that Akagi Ai must have Alzheimer's disease, so she forgot that she gave the jade bracelet away.

"The doctor comes to check regularly. I've been taking medicine recently, but it can only delay the disease. Sorry, I hid it from everyone. I was actually diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease a year ago."

Akagi Ai said.

The elders looked at each other. They didn't expect that Akagi Ai, one of the six elders of the family, actually suffered from Alzheimer's disease.

"Grandma, you should tell me."

Akagi Chihiro had too many things to deal with on weekdays, and she didn't live with Akagi Ai often, so she didn't know.

Other elders also ignored this problem.
