Feeling that the artistic conception was wrong, Meng Zitao had some other thoughts about the painting in front of him. Then he discovered that in addition to the traces of Ma Xia, there were also some shadows of Wu Wei in the landscape.
This Wu Wei was also a famous painter in the Ming Dynasty, but he was born earlier than Lu Ji. There is definitely no possibility of imitating Lu Ji's paintings.
In this case, Meng Zitao thought of a character, who was also a painter in the Ming Dynasty. His name was Russell. This person was known as Mo Kuang and Jin Xianren. In Jiajing, I got the biography of the painter Dancai. I imitated Lu Ji's flowers and birds, and painted and sketched them all. His landscapes and figures are largely based on Wu Weifa's paintings.
Of course, these alone cannot prove that this is a forgery.
Meng Zitao continued the appraisal, and then found some details that were not consistent with the original. The most problematic thing was the silk issue.
Generally speaking, the silk used in the court in the early Ming Dynasty was relatively thin and the workmanship was very exquisite, but the silk used in this painting is undoubtedly inferior in these two aspects.
On the whole, Meng Zitao believes that this painting is undoubtedly a forgery. As for the author, it is possible that Russell was the author. He used special abilities to identify it, and this was the same result.
After Meng Zitao appraised the painting, it was Hardware's turn. After the two of them saw it, they both admired the painting. It seemed that there was no problem with the painting.
When Meng Zitao and the others were appreciating the paintings, Dai Guanglan also looked at all five artifacts. His performance was similar to what Meng Zitao had guessed. He also particularly liked these artifacts, especially the Khotan only son. I can't put it down when I hold it in hand, and the meaning is self-evident.
After a while, seeing that everyone had seen it, Dai Guanglan asked with a smile: "How do you guys think about my painting by Lu Ji?"
Everyone said yes, including Meng Zitao, who also said the painting was good.
The reason why Meng Zitao said this was because he didn¡¯t know who authenticated the painting, so it was difficult to discredit his peers. In addition, we are not familiar with each other, so why bother to cause trouble for each other? Besides, the two of them were not alone now. Wouldn't it make Dai Guanglan lose face if he said it?
Of course, Meng Zitao said it more euphemistically. It can be said that progress can be achieved and retreat can be defended. Even if the other party finds out that there is something wrong with this painting in the future, they cannot say that what he said is wrong, because it is an imitation, not a simple fake. , is indeed remarkable.
But after all, Dai Guanglan may be more sensitive. After hearing Meng Zitao's expression, a trace of surprise seemed to flash in his eyes. However, he did not ask any more questions. In addition to worrying that if Meng Zitao was right, he would lose face, and also because I feel that Meng Zitao's eyesight is only the same at his age. (Wujin didn¡¯t introduce Meng Zitao too much. After all, if he introduced someone as someone¡¯s disciple when he met someone, he might do bad things with good intentions.)
After that, Dai Guanglan discussed with Meng Zitao privately that he wanted to buy the antique, especially the handle piece. He looked determined to get it and was even willing to pay hundreds of thousands more.
Meng Zitao originally liked literary works. Such a Khotan jade handle with water and grass patterns and gold leather handles is very rare. How could he let it go? In the end, he politely refused many times.
Seeing that Meng Zitao firmly disagreed, Dai Guanglan had no other ideas, so he had to hide his plans for the time being. In addition, he just acted regretful and did not show any negative emotions.
After coming out of the teahouse, Wu Jin and Luo Jihui said they had some things to deal with and said goodbye to Meng Zitao. Of course, Meng Zitao would not forget to give hardware red envelopes.
Luo Jihui said while driving the car: "I said, you are too young as a customer. You just sold something to Dai Guanglan. You can make money and earn a favor. Isn't it easy to make such a bargain?"
Hardware smiled and asked, "Then why don't you want to give things to Dai Guanglan first?"
Luo Jihui said with a normal look: "We are too familiar with each other, so I feel sorry for giving him too high a price."
Wu Jin smiled and then answered the question: "He doesn't care about Dai Guanglan's favor at all, so why should he give in?"
Luo Jihui was a little surprised when he heard this, because Wu Jin knew Dai Guanglan's situation to some extent. Since he said this, it meant that Meng Zitao was more powerful than Dai Guanglan, which made him curious.
"I said who is he?"
Wujin replied: "He is a close disciple of Mr. Zheng Anzhi."
After hearing this answer, Luo Jihui's expression changed a little: "What a good guy, he is actually Mr. Zheng's apprentice. OK, you have such a high-end customer. I didn't know I told him earlier, I will definitely sell him a favor, it's cheap A little!"
Hardware said angrily: "When you made the offer just now, I winked so many times, didn't you even look at it?"Like a fish in water, swimming in the water is extremely easy. All the oxygen needed by the body is absorbed by the skin, so there is no trouble at all.
As for sight, with the support of the miner's lamp and Meng Zitao's excellent eyesight, it is not a problem at all.
Meng Zitao swam freely like a fish. Since there were no ferocious fish in Taihu Lake, he was not worried at all and swam directly into the deep waters.
With Meng Zitao¡¯s current physical strength, he swam with all his strength at a very fast speed. It didn¡¯t take long before he felt that the water was three or four meters deep.
So, Meng Zitao began to search for the treasures at the bottom of the lake. Fortunately, as the power level increased, the distance that the power could see had been increased to two meters, so he was not worried that he would miss too many treasures under the mud at the bottom of the lake. .
However, as the old saying goes, ideals are full but reality is skinny. Meng Zitao searched for more than half an hour, but he only found a few gold and silver ingots for the most precious things. This was very different from what he thought. too much.
Of course, the waters of Taihu Lake are so large that there cannot be too many treasures. Even if there are, they are not easy to find. Otherwise, they would have been taken away long ago, and it would not be his turn.
Therefore, Meng Zitao has nothing to be disappointed about, he just searches patiently.
After another half hour of this, Meng Zitao was suddenly startled because his sixth sense sent a warning signal. Then, he saw a boat approaching him on the water.
Seeing this, Meng Zitao quickly turned off the miner's lamp on his head and ducked to the side. Within half a minute, the boat stopped where he had been.
This made Meng Zitao startled. Could it be that something on the water had discovered him?
After a while, Meng Zitao felt that he had thought too much. After the boat stopped, three large boxes were thrown off the boat shortly after. Moreover, there were iron anchors tied to the boxes. After a while, The box sank to the bottom of the lake.
Seeing this, Meng Zitao was curious and confused about what was in the box, because it looked like a crime scene in a movie, but if it contained people, why should it be put in a box?
"Is there something valuable inside? But aren't they afraid that they won't find it?"
Immediately, Meng Zitao patted his forehead. Now there is satellite positioning. Write down the longitude and latitude here. Where can you find it?
In addition, there is an easier way, which is to put an electronic tracker in the box. How can it be impossible to find it?
The behavior of the people on the boat was so mysterious that Meng Zitao's curiosity was aroused. He wanted to know what the contents of these three big boxes were.
The owner of the boat was probably very relieved and sailed away immediately. That's right, if they didn't have internal problems, under normal circumstances, who would know that the box was sunk here?
Seeing that the boat had disappeared, Meng Zitao swam directly towards the location of the three boxes. When he was about to arrive, he used his superpower, and as a result, spiritual energy came from one of the boxes one after another.
Meng Zitao immediately understood that the box contained nothing but antiques, and his supernatural power judged that the value of these antiques was very high, adding up to hundreds of millions. For these antiques to be placed like this, it goes without saying that their origins must be irregular.
Meng Zitao used his power on another box. There were also antiques inside, and the value here was even higher, with a total of 500 million, and most of them were provided by an antique.
Originally, Meng Zitao thought that the remaining box was also an antique, but the power did not give any clear results. This made Meng Zitao very curious. After thinking about it, he simply took out the tools from his pocket and removed the items on the box. The anchor was removed, and then the box was opened using a more violent method.
The result also surprised Meng Zitao, because this box was actually filled with U.S. dollars. There were at least five to six million U.S. dollars in this box, all wrapped in plastic paper, and they were all old banknotes. Even if it is used immediately, no one will know.
