Shengshibaojian

It was almost evening when I came back from Yuanshan Temple.

As the lights of Yanjing City came up, Shen Qiu felt depressed all the way. Master Huigen's choice made him puzzled.

Everyone can see what Master Huigen is afraid of. Is that Bamboo Bone Master really that scary?

On the way, Shen Qiu accidentally received a phone call from Master Yang Qing.

"Is Teacher Shen Qiu free now?"

"I just came back from outside, what's the matter?"

"Ah, the situation is like this. Our shop has just received a piece of calligraphy and painting. To be honest, this piece of calligraphy and painting is quite special, and it is also very controversial! Several master craftsmen are not sure about it. I want you to come over and make a decision? I don't know about Shen Qiu. Teacher, can you take some time to come over and take a look, it's in our store!"

The friendship between Shen Qiu and Yang Qing is not deep, but the impression of Yang Qing is not bad, and he is also the judge in this treasure appreciation conference, so it is not possible not to help this, after all, many friends have many ways.

About half an hour later, Shen Qiu came to Yang Qing's store, which was also an old store, named Tianzihao Baodian, and the storefront was quite luxurious.

When Shen Qiu arrived, a dozen or so people had already gathered in the store lobby. They were gathered around the edge of a round table, and a picture scroll was spread out in the middle of the round table. Among them was a middle-aged man in a suit who was quite nervous and kept wiping his forehead with a paper towel. on the sweat.

"Teacher Shen Qiu is here!"

The bearded Yang Qing took the initiative to shake hands and greeted him: "Mr. Shen Qiu! I'm really sorry to disturb you at such a late hour. Everyone really doesn't understand this painting..."

Yang Qing then introduced the general situation to Shen Qiu, and the protagonist was Boss Sun in a suit.

I heard from others that the popularity of calligraphy and painting collections in the past two years has a lot of room for appreciation, so Boss Sun invested all his savings in antiques in order to make a quick buck.

I don’t know who said that there is a certain underground market in Xiangdao, there are many treasures returned from overseas, so last week he and his friend went to Xiangdao with a pass, and asked the friend to make various connections. I found a way to enter the underground market, and spent a lot of money there to buy an oil painting of a figure.

That is the oil painting in front of me called "Mr. Johnny".

After Boss Sun brought this calligraphy and painting back to China, he asked several experts to check it, and basically all of them gave unanimous comments, saying that the painting was incomprehensible. According to the appraisal of several experts, it is more likely that this calligraphy and painting is a fake.

But Boss Sun refused to admit that this painting was a fake, because it was recommended to him by his best friend. This friend grew up with him since he was a child, and now he is a member of the Xiangdao Antique Association. Friends are impossible. deceived him.

Shen Qiu glanced at it roughly. It was a vertical oil painting of a figure. On the painting was a young foreign man in a gray suit and tie.

The man was leaning on a desk with a handsome face, holding a steaming coffee cup in the other hand, and putting one hand in his trouser pocket. His facial features looked three-dimensional and handsome, and he had the temperament of a foreign gentleman.

The most surprising thing is the seal in the lower left corner of this oil painting. The original color of the seal is red, and the words "Yangsu Damin" are also particularly conspicuous. Anyone who has a little knowledge of calligraphy and painting can see that the seal's The owner is the seal of Xu Beihong, a master of traditional Chinese painting in the modern history of our country.

"Oh? A painting by Xu Beihong?"

This is the first time for Shen Qiu to see Xu Beihong's paintings. In the past, he saw the video materials of "Running Horse Picture" and "Horses" on TV.

"Yes, yes, yes! This is Xu Beihong's painting!" Boss Sun immediately pulled Shen Qiu to explain: "This painting came back from Portugal, and the seller in Portugal is a gambler, he lost all his family's money , That's why I gave up this "Mr. Johnny". My brother gave me a guarantee, saying that this painting must be authentic. I have known my brother for so long, and he will never lie to me! "

"En." Shen Qiu responded, thinking that there is no absolute in this world, wasn't Zhao Chunlei, Shen Jin, and me good brothers and buddies back then?These so-called deadly friendships show their original shape under the light of money. It's fine to stab you once, but to kick your butt again.

Shen Qiu didn't make an appraisal right away, but asked following the sound: "Boss Sun? How much did you pay for this oil painting?"

"3200w! I bought it back with all my fortune! I sold the house and car in Yanjing, and borrowed more than 200 million foreign debts to buy it back. My brother can't lie to me! I spent So much money! It shouldn't be..."

As Boss Sun was talking, the sweat on his forehead couldn't stop dripping down. It could be seen that although he didn't admit it, he was extremely nervous. If this painting was identified as a fake, Then Boss Sun's life can basically be declared over in advance.

"Mr. Sun, don't worry, let me take a closer look for you." Shen Qiu raised his head and asked Yang Qing: "Master Yang Qing, what do you think of this Mr. Johnny in Xu Beihong?"

"Mr. Shen Qiu..." The appraiser at the store began respectfully: "We checked the relevant information, and Xu Beihong's works are basically recorded by the author. Xu Beihong was famous for his paintings of animals and landscapes in his early days. Especially the creation of horses is particularly exquisite, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is No. 1 in modern times in the creation and portrayal of animals!"

"But the Mr. Johnny in front of us? It is a work of creating figures. Xu Beihong's figure paintings are very few, among which the more famous one is the pair of "Miss Jenny" donated for charitable donations, but we really didn't listen to it. I told you about Mr. Johnny! There is no relevant record in historical documents, either.”

"No no no! You got it wrong! You got it wrong!"

Boss Sun took out the information on his mobile phone and said: "It is true that Mr. Xu Beihong created "Mr. Jenny", but have you checked the information? This Miss Jenny's boyfriend was a diplomat back then, and his name was Qiang. Ni, I personally think Mr. Xu Beihong created two paintings that year!"

"They are the oil painting portraits of this couple. It is only because Miss Jenny is Chinese, and the painting is an auction painting donated by charity, so the reputation of "Miss Jenny" will be even greater! You think "Miss Jenny" "Mr. Johnny" does not exist! I think there is a problem with the way you look at the collection, and you didn't make serious preparations before making the appraisal!"

The more Mr. Sun talked, the more anxious he became. Whenever anyone questioned the painting, he immediately jumped up and tried to defend himself. It can be seen that he really cares about this painting in his heart. He thinks about heaven and hell, and if he is a little careless, he will be punished. He fell to pieces and was beyond redemption.

"Master Yang Qing, you are an expert in calligraphy and painting, what do you think?"

Yang Qing habitually stroked the big beard on his chin: "Old Sun, we have been old friends for so many years, and I won't see you here today, so don't mind if you have anything to say!"

"First of all, the information you found on your phone just now was all searched by Baidu. These cannot be used as evidence for identification. I even went to Shang Hai's library specially for your painting. After consulting the information at that time, the creation background of "Miss Jenny" is relatively clear. At that time, Mr. Xu Beihong created this painting in a public place, so it is more reliable to check the information in newspapers and documents! Miss Jenny This boyfriend’s name is not Johnny, but David! It’s clearly recorded in the documents!”

what?

Boss Sun's legs went limp, and he almost went limp on the spot: "Master Yang Qing, are you clear?"

"Old Sun, of course you won't be fooled by this kind of thing, and there is another doubtful point, which is the signature of your painting "Yangsu Damin". This seal is of course Mr. Xu Beihong's, but several experts and I used instruments to It has been authenticated, and judging from the volatilized traces of the paint on the seal, the seal of this painting has not been stamped for more than three years! In other words, your seal was stamped within three years, and it is absolutely impossible to be Mr. Xu Beihong I covered it myself!"

"Huh? Didn't Mr. Xu Beihong put it on?"
