Seeing Qiu Mengyun winking at him, Xia Tian immediately understood and got up to get the gift. He first put the box with the ancient painting on the coffee table in front of Qiu Liming: "Uncle Qiu, I heard Mengyun say that you like antiques and calligraphy and paintings. Just after getting off the plane, I went to the store to find this painting for you. I hope you like it."

Qiu Liming frowned and said with disdain: "Humph! What do you know about antiques at such a young age? Could it be that you were deceived and brought a fake?"

Qiu Mengyun said unconvinced: "Who said it's a fake? This is..."

Xia Tian pulled Qiu Mengyun's sleeve and interrupted her: "Uncle Qiu is teaching us that we don't really know much about antiques and calligraphy and paintings. Please help us take a look and see if we have been deceived."

"Forget it, since your attitude is quite sincere, I will reluctantly help you take a look!"

Qiu Liming was very satisfied with Xia Tian's attitude. He opened the box and began to slowly spread the ancient painting on the coffee table.

Qiu Mengyun complained in a low voice: "Why didn't you let me tell you? You got this painting from Wangyuanzhai. With the eyesight of Mr. Li from Wangyuanzhai, how could this painting be a fake? If it was a fake, he would definitely not We went to such great lengths to put this painting in such a secret basement. "

Xia Tian explained in a low voice: "Why did we give this painting to your father? Have you forgotten?"

"The reason why we went to such great lengths to find a gift is to make him happy after receiving it and to have a better impression of me!"

"If you quarrel with him about the authenticity of the painting now, he will definitely not be happy even if it is proved to be true. At that time, we will not only give the painting but also offend people. Isn't it a loss?"

Qiu Mengyun nodded suddenly: "That makes sense. I didn't expect that you are so young, but you are so experienced in doing things."

Xia Tian: "I will definitely make some progress if I stay with such an excellent person like you every day and be influenced by you. It is understandable that I can think of these things."

Qiu Mengyun was very happy with Xia Tian's rainbow fart.

"Hehe! You are a good kid. You have become more pleasant to listen to in just a few days."

Qiu Liming, who was sitting opposite, had already spread the ancient painting on the coffee table. At first, he still had a nonchalant expression.

But as the scroll was slowly unfolded, the contempt on his face gradually disappeared.

"This, this is actually Tang Yin's painting of ladies?"

"But as far as I know, most of Tang Yin's paintings of ladies circulating outside are fakes. It is said that the original was collected by Li Hongfei, the owner of Wangyuanzhai, in the early years. Your painting is probably fake."

"However, this painting is copied quite like the original. I will teach you a lesson and teach you how to distinguish the real from the fake."

Xia Tian said very cooperatively: "Thank you Uncle Qiu for your teachings."

Qiu Mengyun on the side said with admiration: "Dad, have you found the flaws in this painting? You are so amazing that you can tell that this is a fake painting in such a short time."

"Hahaha! The most important thing in the antique business is vision and experience. In fact, if you learn from me patiently from now on, maybe in 20 or 30 years, you can also have my current strength." Qiu Liming enjoyed his daughter's admiring eyes very much, and immediately boasted with a hearty laugh.

Qiu Mengyun urged with a smirk: "Dad, don't just talk without doing anything! You are going to teach us a lesson, let's get started! Tell us why this painting is a fake and what are the flaws."

"Okay, wait a minute! Let me tell you one by one."

Qiu Liming took out a magnifying glass and began to carefully examine the painting of the lady on the table.

Although he didn't find any so-called flaws just now, in order to enjoy his daughter's admiration, he still admitted it.

But in his opinion, this is not a big problem.

How could Xia Tian and Qiu Mengyun, two rookies, buy a real painting?

Besides, with the little money in their pockets, they couldn't afford it even if they came across a real painting, so this painting must be a fake.

As long as it is confirmed to be a fake, then no matter how sophisticated the counterfeiting method is, there will be flaws. With his experience and eyesight, it should not be difficult to find the problem.

Qiu Liming took a magnifying glass and looked at the painting from this side.

See all the way to the other end.

After reading the entire painting, he finally couldn't help but frown.

"Huh? This faker is very clever. I just looked around and couldn't find any flaws in him. It seems like it's time to get serious."

After finishing speaking, Qiu Liming picked up the magnifying glass again and started to read.

This time he looked at it very carefully. He didn't miss every detail of the scroll. He looked at it very carefully, whether it was the pen and ink, the paper, or the scroll.

Xia Tian believed that with Qiu Liming's serious and persistent energy at the moment, if what was in front of him was really a high imitation calligraphy and painting, he would definitely find the flaws.

However, what was in front of him was really a picture of a lady painted by Tang Yin himself.

So Qiu Liming tried his best, but still got nothing.

Seeing Qiu Liming, who was frowning and sweating profusely, Qiu Mengyun not only did not tell the truth, but instead went out of his way to stimulate him: "Dad, didn't you say you wanted to teach us a lesson on how to distinguish authenticity from falsehood? "

"We've both been waiting here for a long time. When will you start?"

Qiu Liming wiped the sweat from his forehead with a towel and said awkwardly: "Well, please wait a moment. The craftsmanship of this painting is relatively high. I need to analyze it more carefully."

Qiu Mengyun pretended to be surprised and said: "Ah? Dad, what did you just say? Didn't you tell me before that you had discovered the flaw in this painting? Why are you saying now that this painting requires superb forgery skills? Continue the analysis?"

"Could it be that you didn't find the flaw before and you were bragging to us just now? I didn't expect that my father, who has always taught us to be honest, actually loves to brag."

"Mom, was my dad like this when he was young? Did he just rely on bragging to trick you into marrying him?"

Qiu's mother had already seen the clues and knew that Qiu Mengyun was deliberately teasing Qiu Liming. She cooperated and said: "It doesn't count as cheating, but it is true that he likes to brag and lie."

Seeing Qiu Liming's extremely embarrassed look, Xia Tian kindly told the truth.

"Uncle Qiu, I don't think it's because you have poor strength or poor eyesight. If you haven't found a flaw for so long, the problem must be with the painting. Do you think it's possible that the painting itself is authentic?"

At this moment, Qiu Liming had already got into trouble and didn't take Xia Tian's kind reminder at all.

He said with fierce eyes and a firm tone: "Impossible, this painting must be fake. I must find out the flaws in this painting today."
