    Chu Chen smiled and nodded, and said: "I wonder if Mr. Cao can cut off his love?" Yu Hui quickly replied: "Of course, of course! We will discuss the details later!" At this point, he asked that person  A waiter put away the painting and took it to his office, and then led Chu Chen towards his office very politely.  Cao Hui's expression shocked the waiter. She knew that this painting was not for sale by Cao Hui. No matter who asked, he had never sold it. Moreover, Cao Hui was very capable and in her eyes, he had never sold it.  She can be said to have great hands and eyes. Normally, she has never seen anyone dare to show off to Cao Hui because of this matter.  But even so, as soon as the young man opened his mouth, her boss immediately agreed not to say anything, and he seemed to be willing to give it away for free. This really subverted her cognition, and at the same time she couldn't stop guessing about Chu Chen's identity.  .   Cao Hui brought Chu Chen to his office, poured a cup of tea for Chu Chen himself, and then took out two red invitations.  "Mr. Chu, this is an invitation from you and Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao asked you to bring this one to him." Cao Hui said politely.  Chu Chen opened the invitation and looked at it. The exchange meeting was on the evening of the 29th, and the location was at a villa in Xiangjiang.  After closing the invitation, he put it in his bag and then asked: "Mr. Cao, when will we set off?" Yu Hui said with some anxiety: "Well Mr. Chu, there is something going on at home recently. I want to go  We can¡¯t leave until the 26th, I¡¯m sorry!¡± When he said this, Cao Hui felt like his heart was bleeding. This was such a good opportunity to become a big shot.  As a result, he was ruined by the prodigal women of his own family. Thinking about it made him have the urge to beat his wife.  But Cao Hui only dared to think this way.  He would definitely not dare to take action, and this time it was his own problem.  The reason is actually simple.  All because his wife discovered that he was raising Xiaomi a few days ago. As a result, the family was turned upside down. In the end, he managed to calm his wife down. Of course, there were some conditions attached, and traveling abroad was one of them.  One piece.  Although Cao Hui was completely unwilling to accept this item, he couldn't agree to it even if he wanted to. After all, everything about him now.  Ten times he got his money from his father-in-law. If he really got divorced, everything he had now would be in vain.  Chu Chen was planning to take Wu Ke to Xiangjiang for a trip, so he definitely had no objections to this, so he waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, we can just contact you by phone then. By the way, I also want to ask, this  Can Zhang invite others?" Cao Hui didn't mind when he saw Chu Chen.  He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then he quickly said: "Yes, one invitation can bring two people." Chu Chen nodded, and it was okay.  It would be embarrassing if he took Wu Ke with him when the time came and Wu Ke couldn't go in.  A moment later.  The waiter just now came in holding a painting and calligraphy box.  Then according to Cao Hui's instructions, he placed it in front of Chu Chen.  "Master Chu, you can first check the authenticity of this work." He said.  Cao Hui made a gesture of invitation.  Chu Chen was not too polite, put on his gloves, and then took out the paintings in the brocade box. After unfolding them, he began to appreciate and identify them carefully.  Therefore, Chu Chen had some knowledge of the painting beforehand, and it didn¡¯t take him much time to confirm that it was indeed a genuine work, and it was also a masterpiece created by Wu Dan.  Although this painting is good, the painter Wu Dan's works are not very popular in the calligraphy and painting market. Therefore, although this painting is good, Chu Chen's estimate is only about 140,000 to 50,000 yuan.  "Master Chu, how is this painting?" Cao Hui asked quickly when Chu Chen put away his tools.  Chu Chen replied: "The painting is really good, just what I want. I wonder what the price of this painting is?" Cao Hui thought about it. He didn't know much about Chu Chen's character, so the price was really bad.  Open, if the other party is greedy, then opening too high will definitely cause dissatisfaction on the other side, but if the other party is selfish, opening low will not work.  Finally, Cao Hui thought about it and decided to open the door lower. If Chu Chen was dissatisfied, it would be easier to remedy the situation, so he smiled and said: "Young master Chu, you can come today, and the store will be in full bloom.  Let¡¯s count the painting at 60,000, what do you think?¡± Chu Chen chuckled. He understood what Cao Hui had in mind. He waved his hand and said, ¡°Mr. Cao, let¡¯s calculate it according to the market price. Otherwise, next time  I¡¯m embarrassed to come over.¡± Ting Chu.When Chen said this, Cao Hui quickly said: "Mr. Chu, if it's based on the market price, it's too expensive. To be honest with you, I spent 5,000 yuan to get this painting. 60,000 yuan."  I've already made a lot of money." "You can't say that." Chu Chen said with a smile: "In our business, we can't settle the accounts with the purchase price. You are too low. If someone loses money,  How do you calculate the price? Okay, just give me the real price!" Cao Hui rolled his eyes, and then said: "Master Chu, how about this? I still have two paintings and calligraphy works from the Ming Dynasty.  If you are interested, I can show it to you. We will talk about the money later. What do you think? " Of course, Chu Chen said there is no problem. No one has too much good things, but if Cao  Hui must transfer things to him at a cheap price, and he will definitely not accept it.  After all, no merit is rewarded, he is soft-handed and short-tongued. If Cao Hui asks him for anything in the future, he will definitely be affected by this matter.  After a while, Cao Hui took out the two works he mentioned, carefully placed them in front of Chu Chen, and then introduced them to Chu Chen. One of the two works was Zhu Yunming's cursive Qiuxing eight poems.  , and the other is Lu Ming¡¯s picture of golden pheasants with plum blossoms.  When Chu Chen heard that it was Zhu Yunming¡¯s cursive calligraphy, his interest in this calligraphy work greatly increased.  Maybe everyone is not familiar with the name Zhu Yunming, but given another name Zhu Zhishan, everyone should know who this is.  As one of the four talented people in the south of the Yangtze River, Zhu Zhishan was good at poetry and calligraphy, especially his wild calligraphy. He was highly praised by the world. There has been a saying that "Tang Bohu's paintings are Zhu Zhishan's calligraphy".  Therefore, when Chu Chen learned about Zhu Zhishan's cursive script in front of him, he couldn't wait and slowly unfolded the scroll.  However, when this cursive calligraphy work was displayed in front of Chu Chen, he couldn't help but frown. This calligraphy work felt quite strange to him. The style of the calligraphy was indeed very similar to Zhu Zhishan's, but there was something missing in it.  The charm is inside.  ??This point may not be felt by people who have not carefully appreciated Zhu Zhishan's works, but for Chu Chen, who has admired two authentic works of Zhu Zhishan at Liu Laona, he can clearly feel it.  Therefore, he immediately realized that this work was probably a fake.  Of course, in the appraisal of antiques, one is one, and two is two. It is not always necessary to conclude that a work is a fake just because it feels wrong.  So Chu Chen took out a magnifying glass and began to observe carefully bit by bit.  Cao Hui was quite discerning. Although he didn't see anything strange on Chu Chen's face, the serious look on Chu Chen's face still made him feel something was wrong, which made him immediately nervous.  You must know that he spent two million to buy this work. If it was a fake, the loss would be heavy.  After more than twenty minutes, Chu Chen put down the magnifying glass in his hand. Seeing this, Cao Hui quickly asked: "Mr. Chu, is there something wrong with this cursive calligraphy work by Zhu Zhishan?" Chu Chen didn't say anything.  Nonsense, he directly handed the magnifying glass to Cao Hui and said: "Mr. Cao, look at the four words "Kui, Bo, Lin, and Parrot" on it." Hearing this, Cao Hui quickly took the magnifying glass and looked closely at it. At first, he was still  I didn't see anything strange in it, but after taking a few more glances, surprise suddenly appeared on my face, and in the end I felt a little confused.  After a while, Cao Hui came back to his senses and said with a wry smile: "Thank you, Mr. Chu, for reminding me, but do you think this was an accident?" "What do you think? And these four are not the only ones in this work.  The words are like that, look at these words, they are the same." Chu Chen asked in reply, and then pointed out a few of the words.  Cao Hui hurriedly stepped forward to observe one by one, and finally had to smile bitterly and said: "That's true, but how could this work be a fake? The name and bell seal are obviously correct!" It turns out that although this work looks good,  That is indeed what happened, but there are a few words in it that are probably not written properly by the person who wrote them. If you look carefully, you can see traces of copying and repairing, so it looks a bit unnatural. And if this work is indeed by Zhu Zhishan  works, then this phenomenon will definitely not occur.  Some people may say that this is not necessarily the case. After all, in daily life, it is normal to make mistakes in writing.  But don¡¯t forget, Zhu Zhishan is a master of calligraphy, and judging from the title, this work was written in 1523. At this time, he was sixty-three years old, and his calligraphy was already very experienced. How could a work like this be possible?  How come there are so many words that are not written in place?  Ordinary people think about it and know that this is unlikely to happen.  Chu Chen explained: ¡°Mr. Cao, you should know that Zhu Zhishan¡¯s forgery is very serious.There are many, among which his grandson Wu Yingmao's calligraphy is the most similar to his. It can be confused with the real calligraphy, and it is difficult for even an expert to distinguish it.  I think this work is probably the work of Wu Yingmao, and it is possible that it left a real seal!  As for recognition, I think there is still a question mark.  " Cao Hui has been in the calligraphy and painting business for a long time. Of course he knows Wu Yingmao. Therefore, when he heard the name, besides smiling bitterly, he really didn't know what to say. (To be completed  Continued.)
