Shen Qiu's voice was as calm as water, but as soon as he spoke, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath and stare at him, even Cao Donglai, who was very angry, and his master and apprentice subconsciously closed their mouths.

Shen Qiu spread out the "Autumn Landscape Landscape" in the sight of everyone, and the long and narrow frame almost covered the desk in the hotel room.

It is worth mentioning that everyone saw the painting from the seats in the venue before, and did not look at the painting up close. Now that they have checked it further, the situation of the painting is worse than what they saw before.

The paper on the four sides of the frame is dark yellow and chipped. In addition, because there is no plastic packaging, the painting is also seriously aged. Standing on the edge of the frame, you can even smell a mild musty smell.

"Everyone knows the specifics of this painting. Wu Li's works in the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty are barely 100 years old. Wu Li is not a famous artist. In his early years, he imitated Tang Bohu's paintings and accumulated a little. Fame, in terms of the value of this painting alone, it may not be as valuable as his copy of Tang Bohu's work, as far as I know, a copy of Wu Li's painting in Guangzhou four years ago sold for more than 400 million!"

"Yes! Shen Qiu! Look at your painting again. The paper of the scroll is moldy, and the surface of the paper is chipped! A painting of this quality is placed in the Antique Street, let alone 400 million! Even [-] is not necessarily the case. Someone can like it! Who wants to spend money on the quality of this kind of rubbish!" Kang Kai was the first to express his opinion.

Director Feng, on the other hand, has a different opinion on this: "That's right, the quality of this painting is indeed a bit bad, but this is nothing to us antique researchers. With our current technology, it can be restored and restored. Re-framed, maybe Wu Li's works are not well-known now, but I believe that in a few decades, someone will appreciate Wu Li's style! Especially this "Autumn Landscape Painting" combines Chinese and foreign styles of painting, it is simply There is no one before or after!"

"Among the ancient Chinese painters, Wu Li is absolutely unique!"

Shen Qiu came to the painting alone and said: "Have you noticed a detail, that is, what Earl Edward said about his grandfather's deeds. Back then, his grandfather spent 1300 yuan and bought it from a friend at a high price. For this painting, if the 1300 yuan is converted to the present, it is almost the current amount of 800w!"

Kang Kai immediately stood up and retorted: "Shen Qiu! This is just a story that the foreigner made up to cheat money, do you believe it? You must know that the antique industry has never been good at making up stories! Doesn't he make up stories just to make up stories? To fool you into paying a high price for this painting?"

"Kang Kai!" Xie Jingwen stopped in one gulp: "Kang Kai, can you stop talking and let Shen Qiu finish talking!"

Cao Donglai also signaled his apprentice not to speak, he wanted to see what new tricks Shen Qiu could make out of this cheap painting.

Shen Qiu pointed to the painting and continued: "Everyone, what if Daugos's friend didn't cheat him back then, but gave him a good thing of equal value? What if this painting is really worth 1300 yuan? What about the ocean?"

"This... this possibility is almost unlikely..."

Director Feng thought for a while and shook his head and said: "I basically know the painters in the Daoguang period. Wu Li was undoubtedly the bottom of the painters at that time. Being looked down upon by peers, let alone accumulating fame, no one would foolishly pay 1300 yuan for Wu Li's painting. Just looking at the simple mounting of this painting, no one would appreciate it, unless Dawgos is a big fan of China. A foreigner who knows nothing about history, calligraphy and painting,"

Shen Qiu nodded calmly, showing a trademark smile, he gave Xie Jingwen a few words, and saw Xie Jingwen turn around and find a pair of scissors from the drawer.

Shen Qiu took the scissors and said, "Director Feng? When it comes to framing, don't you think there is anything wrong with this painting? There is also the content of this painting of mountains, are you sure there is no problem?"

"Master Shen? What do you mean by that? Could it be that you think this painting is a fake?" Even Director Feng couldn't understand Shen Qiu. If there is something wrong with this painting, why did Shen Qiu publish it? 400w to buy.

Shen Qiu first pointed to the mounting place of the painting and said: "Director Feng, you also said that this painting is a simple mounting, but if you look at the edge of it, do you see any uneven parts? Look at this The actual content of the painting, do you have any signs of serious overlapping and ghosting in the landscape content in the middle part?"

Reminded by Shen Qiu, Director Feng came up to observe carefully: "That's right! Master Shen! There is indeed something wrong with what you say! Could it be that Wu Li's transformation was also imitated by someone? This is not realistic. ! There was absolutely no need for this at the time! It is thankless!"

"Shen Qiu, just tell me what you want to say!" Cao Donglai urged impatiently, "Don't be so secretive, if this painting is fake, it won't be worth 400w, in my opinion It would be even more embarrassing!"

"Director Feng? What if I want to say that this painting is mounted on the second floor?"

Framed on the second floor?

The few people present didn't react for a while, only Director Feng and Cao Donglai instantly understood what is double-layer mounting, which means that this painting is mounted on two layers, the outside is simple mounting, and the inside is another layer of mounting seal up.

This is a special way of preservation during the war-torn era. Some people mounted two paintings in the way of double-layer mounting. From the outside, it looks like a worthless painting, but the inside is the most important thing.

"Impossible! This is definitely not the second floor! Shen Qiu, why do you say that!"

Cao Donglai was a little excited, and tried his best to deny this possibility, because he was engaged in the field of antique appraisal, and he only heard about the method of mounting the second floor through hearsay, and he had never seen the real thing. In his opinion, this is a fiction made by people. way.

It doesn't exist in the real world!

"Master Shen...you...you just use these to determine that this painting is mounted on the second floor? Isn't this a bit one-sided?" Director Feng also found it incredible, and asked half-believingly.

Shen Qiu raised the scissors in his hand: "Whether it is mounted on the second floor, you will know it after I cut it open!"

Shen Qiu picked up the scissors, raised the knife in his hand, and swiftly cut open the outer circle of mounting envelopes. With a puff, he tore off the outer layer of drawing paper, and another antique painting appeared in everyone's line of sight. .

A painting about the same length as "Autumn Landscape Landscape" miraculously appeared in front of everyone.

Two majestic giant mountains and a clear stream pass across, bushes and weeds are arranged in rows, and simple brushstrokes outline a grand and magnificent scenery. The font size of "Bitter Melon Monk" is written on it.

Director Feng immediately reacted: "Bitter Melon Monk? Shi Tao! This is Shi Tao's work! The first of the four great monks in the early Qing Dynasty, the work of Bitter Melon Monk! "Streams Through Mountains"!"

"Oh! This is really Shi Tao's work!" Director Feng was completely in a state of excitement: "Look at you! Shi Tao's brushstrokes are sharp and powerful, and he writes thickly and closes freely. He was famous in the Qing Dynasty! As the head of the four great monks in the Qing Dynasty, his works have a strong personal style! Ordinary people simply can’t imitate them! You’ve gone wrong! This time, you’ve really gone wrong!”

"It turned out that Daoges was not deceived back then. This painting was indeed very famous at the time, and it was definitely worth 1300 yuan. Unexpectedly, Daoges didn't see it back then. Our master Shen saw it after more than 100 years. Oh, Master Shen! You really taught me a lesson today! I almost regarded it as Wu Li's work!"

As soon as the divine painting appeared, the atmosphere in the whole room exploded instantly. Several experts headed by Professor Feng had fully integrated into the appreciation of "Streams Through Mountains". Cao Donglai and Kang Kai were stunned and at a loss for words for a while.

Even though they are not as knowledgeable as Director Feng, they have heard of the name Bitter Gourd Monk. The starting price of this kind of works by famous Qing Dynasty masters is in the tens of millions in the antique market.

So Shen Qiu's gamble this time is definitely a win! The price of 400w is definitely a miss!
