    After hearing what Mr. Liu said, Liu Qinshu couldn't help but nodded.  There are about seven or eight handed down works that are now believed to be Dong Yuan's. However, at that time, painters generally did not sign their paintings, so later generations only relied on judgments based on relevant records. Among them, only "Stream Bank Picture" is the only one with a signature.  of.  However, the rocks on the "Stream Bank" in the Met use the layer-by-layer rendering techniques that have been used since the Tang Dynasty, instead of the hemp texture pioneered by Dong Yuan. This is why the "Stream Bank" has been controversial for so many years.  " is the main reason why Dong Yuan's works are not.  Now a "Stream Bank Painting" using the hemp chamfering technique has been discovered. Although it can further prove that the previous "Stream Bank Painting" was not done by Dong Yuan, it cannot be completely assumed that the previous "Stream Bank Painting" must not have been painted by Dong Yuan.  This is precisely because Dong Yuan's works have been handed down to this day, and this is the only one with a signature.  But as Mr. Liu said, if you want to prove that the previous "Stream Bank Picture" is indeed Dong Yuan's work, you must provide more ironclad evidence, otherwise it is just wishful thinking.  However, even if the previous "Stream Bank Picture" is a copy or imitation, it does not damage its value. After all, its artistic achievement itself is very high and is not much inferior to the original work.  Just like the previous debate on the authenticity of the "Lanting Preface" written by Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it lasted for a long time, and all parties couldn't agree.  However, the artistic achievement of "Lanting Preface" is extremely high, and it is not an exaggeration to call it "the best running script in the world". All parties have reached a consensus on one point.  However, compared to Liu Qinshu who was a little doubtful about this work, Chu Chen firmly believed that this work must be Dong Yuan's original work, and the supernatural power would not deceive him in terms of estimation of value and judgment of age.  "Xiao Chu, you are really lucky. You can pick up two large leaks when buying a house. This "Stream Bank Picture" can be said to be a national treasure-level cultural relic. Needless to say its value.  You just picked up the money for such a house. I have been playing with antiques for so many years, why haven¡¯t I encountered such a good thing? " Liu Qinshu said to Chu Chen with envy on his face. Chu Chen is very lucky.  She was really speechless. She could find such a big deal when buying a house, and there were two of them. She had never seen such a thing since she was a child.  Chu Chen scratched his head and said, "Hey, maybe this is the blessing I have accumulated in my previous lives." After hearing this, Mr. Liu said with a smile: "It seems that Xiao Chu, you were a good person in your previous lives.  However, Xiao Shu, you said something wrong. How can such a work be measured by money? Xiao Chu, if it were you, would you be willing to trade it for a villa? " Chu Chen quickly shook his head and said: "  If I don¡¯t change, I won¡¯t change even if it¡¯s a good house. House and money are just a part of life, as long as they can meet my daily needs. Besides, as long as I work hard, I will earn it sooner or later.  . But I would never encounter a painting like this, let alone ask for it. How could I pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelons? " Mr. Liu laughed and said, "Xiao Chu said that well.  , Xiao Shu, you should learn more from Xiao Chu's attitude. You are too utilitarian and you value everything with money. If you don't change this, you will never become a collector in the future.  " When Liu Qinshu heard this, he couldn't help but retorted: "Dad, I'm not as bad as you said. You don't know how many collections I have now. " Mr. Liu shook his head and said, "You think it's enough to have a large collection.  Have you become a collector? If so, then anyone who is rich can become a collector. Think about it, how much do you know about your collection? " "Let's just say that you have always thought about missing something.  Let me tell you a story I heard from a friend of mine. "Once, my friend was entrusted by someone to sell a bronze mirror, but he knew a little about the bronze mirrors of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but he didn't know much about them.  The bronze mirror he bought was from the Jin Dynasty, so he helped his friend sell it for 60,000 yuan. "But not long after, the person who bought the bronze mirror sold it for 160,000 yuan.  The bronze mirror was sold to a friend in Beijing, and he made a profit of 100,000 yuan. A few months later, my friend saw this bronze mirror again at an auction, with a price of 360,000 yuan, and finally bought it.  Four hundred thousand yuan." When Liu Qinshu heard this, he couldn't help but sneer and said: "That's stupid of him. Since he doesn't know, why don't he ask others?" Mr. Liu laughed and said, "Yes, Xiao Shu, what you said is true.  It's a way, but have you ever thought about why he sold it for 60,000 yuan?" Liu Qinshu thought for a while and replied: "He should be based on the price of bronze mirrors in the Han and Tang Dynasties.  " "Yes, he just took the price of Han and Tang bronze mirrors as a reference and sold them?That bronze mirror.  Then let me ask you again, do you know how much a Qianlong official kiln blue and white hexagonal vase with broken branches and flowers that you bought the year before last is worth now?  " "This" Liu Qinshu frowned and thought for a while, then said with some hesitation: "I bought it for 410,000 at the time, and it should be 600,000 by now, right?  " Mr. Liu smiled and shook his head, and said: "Look, you are still talking about picking up leaks all day long. No, you didn't pick it up yourself, someone else did!  Xiao Chu, let me test you, do you know the price of this six-square bottle?  " At this point, he told Chu Chen the data of the six-square bottle. Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "The price should be around 1.18 million.  "    "oh?  Why do you say that?  Chu Chen chuckled and said, "During the Hanhai Spring auction in Beijing last month, there was a six-square bottle that was similar to Aunt Liu's. It was sold for more than 1.18 million at that time."  "    "ah?  " Liu Qinshu exclaimed, and then said unconvinced: "Dad, if I hadn't been on a business trip to Shanghai that time, how could I not know the price of my six-square bottle!  " Mr. Liu chuckled and said: "Then you say all day long that you want to pick up leaks. What is picking up leaks? For example, it is buying a treasure worth tens of thousands of yuan or even more for a few thousand yuan.  The opportunity to pick up leaks is equal for everyone, but you must have enough knowledge and vision to seize the opportunity to pick up leaks.  " "Like you, you don't even know the value of your own things, and you still want to pick them up?  You have to say that you were away on a business trip, but as long as you are willing, can't you find a way to understand the price?  Even if you didn't have time at the time, couldn't you understand it after so many days after you came back?  " "With your attitude towards learning, how can you become a qualified collector?  " Liu Qinshu asked several questions in succession, making Liu Qinshu look embarrassed. His father was right. His attitude towards antiques was indeed too casual, and he really failed to live up to his father's long-term teachings. "Dad, I'm sorry to disappoint you. In fact,  Thinking about it, my personality is too lazy, and I am really not suitable for in-depth study in antiques.  " Mr. Liu laughed, shook his head, and said: "You, you are somewhat self-aware, but it's a pity that your senior brother only knows how to study knowledge and is too rigid in life. Although your second senior brother is flexible, he only thinks about making money.  In the first place, I don¡¯t know who can inherit my mantle!  " Having said this, Mr. Liu looked at Chu Chen with a smile on his face, which made Chu Chen's heart beat wildly. Is Mr. Liu planning to accept me as his apprentice? But if he asks me if I am willing, I  How should I answer? Should I be tactful, or should I agree directly? "Xiao Chu!  " "I" Chu Chen was still imagining that Mr. Liu was going to accept him as his apprentice. Suddenly he heard Mr. Liu calling him and almost shouted the three words "I do". Fortunately, he reacted quickly and stopped talking.  He must come back, otherwise he will make a big fool of himself. Liu Lao couldn't help laughing and asked: "Xiao Chu, what did you say?  " Chu Chen said with a slightly red face: "I have a stomachache and I want to go to the bathroom.  " After saying that, before Mr. Liu and the others could respond, they hurriedly ran out. As they ran, they wailed in their hearts. You really made a fool of yourself this time. Chu Chen, why did you lose your control at the critical moment? I didn't know that Mr. Liu and the others would.  What do you think? When Liu and his daughter saw this situation, they couldn't help laughing. They didn't expect that Chu Chen, who had always been calm and composed in front of them, would have such a moment. After a few minutes, Chu Chen became calm and composed again.  He came back. Of course, he was just acting calm now, but he was actually very nervous inside. What he was most afraid of now was that Mr. Liu and the others would have a negative impression of him because of this matter. In fact, Chu Chen was completely concerned and confused.  How could Mr. Liu and the others be dissatisfied with him because of such a trivial matter? On the contrary, they felt that Chu Chen acted like a young man. What Chu Chen had done before was really too old and lacking a little bit.  Young people are full of vigor. When Mr. Liu saw Chu Chen come in, he asked him with a smile: "Xiao Chu, are you okay? Do you want Xiao Shu to find some medicine for you?"  " When Chu Chen saw this situation, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly shook his head and said: "No, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore. Thank you for your concern.  " "Haha, as long as it's okay, let me ask you, what are you going to do with this "Stream Bank Picture"?  " Chu Chen didn't think too much and replied: "I definitely want to store it, but the transformation over there hasn't been completed yet. Mr. Liu, please take the trouble and put the things here first.  But it's such an expensive thing, so I feel a little uneasy about getting it for nothing!  "This painting "Stream"It's not that the "Picture" cannot be placed at Uncle Wu's place, but it is so valuable that Uncle Wu will have trouble sleeping and eating if it is left there. To avoid him worrying, it is better to leave it with Mr. Liu.  As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Liu understood what Chu Chen meant, and secretly thought that he had indeed seen the right person. Xiao Chu did not feel content to own the things just because they were precious.
