After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Uncle Wu said with a smile: "That's true, but I think the most important thing is that he is influenced by what others say. Of course, Ma Laocai's poor character is also a big factor. If it weren't for Ma Laocai With such a bad character, someone will probably buy it back." Chu Chen also smiled and said: "This is his own fault. Of course, if Ma Laocai didn't have such a character, this kind of good thing would not be possible for me." "Xiao. Uncle, if this calligraphy is genuine, how much would it be worth?" Lin Guangxin asked from the side. Chu Chen shook his head: "This work is a masterpiece of Zhao Mengfu's later years. At this time, his calligraphy has matured into 'Zhao style'. In addition, this "Luo Shen Fu" should be said to be Zhao Mengfu's representative work, and Its meaning is somewhat special, so the price is really hard to estimate, but in general, it must be more than ten million. "Although the power has been given a price before, the work of a famous artist like Zhao Mengfu is particularly special. It is still a masterpiece of great significance. It is hard to say the market value, because if this thing is put up for auction, it will definitely be sought after by many people. When the time comes, they will compete for it, and no one can imagine the final transaction price. "Thousandsten million!" When Lin Guangxin heard what Chu Chen said, his jaw almost dropped in shock. Of course, except for Uncle Wu, the others around him were not much better. After a long time, Lin Dacheng came back to his senses and murmured to himself: "I spent 450,000, and it turned into more than 10 million in the blink of an eye. This money is so profitable!" Seeing Lin Dacheng was a little moved. With a look on his face, Uncle Wu said: "Dacheng, in the antique business, things like this are hard to come by. I have been doing this for twenty years. If things like Xiao Chen were so easy to encounter, I would have done it long ago. Now that you have become a billionaire, why did you have to worry about Xiaoke's tuition before? " Lin Dacheng heard this, thought about it, and laughed a little embarrassedly. Uncle Wu smiled slightly. I know that my words have worked. You must know that the water in the antique industry is really too deep. If people like Lin Dacheng enter this industry rashly, there is a 90% chance that they will be swallowed. None left. He didn't expect that Lin Dacheng's family would not only lose money, but also blame Chu Chen. Since we were going back to Beijing tomorrow, everyone decided to take a rest early. Chu Chen put the scroll away and put it back in the box. Uncle Wu said: "Xiao Chen, I think it is prudent to ask Mr. Liu to help me take another look at this "Luo Shen Fu"!" Chu Chen nodded and said: "Yes, my accumulation of calligraphy and painting appraisal is not enough. I will definitely show it to the master when I get back. I think he will be interested in it. "That's for sure. Mr. Liu learned his calligraphy from Zhao Mengfu. How could he not be interested?" "Well! When we go back tomorrow, we invite Uncle Zhao to come with us" The next day, Chu Chen and others got up early in the morning. After breakfast, Chu Chen first helped Aunt Wu's eldest brother feel his pulse, and then He asked, "Uncle, are you really not planning to go to the capital with us?" The old man smiled and shook his head, saying that it was hard to leave his homeland and he did not want to go to the capital. Recently. Chu Chen and others also tried to persuade the old man several times, but the old man was stubborn and never agreed. Seeing that the old man still didn¡¯t agree, Chu Chen didn¡¯t plan to persuade him anymore. The reason why he wanted to take the old man to the capital was to facilitate acupuncture. After all, Wucheng didn¡¯t have an airport yet. There is no way to come here by plane, and it would take a lot of time to go back and forth. Now that the old man refuses, Chu Chen can only make a trip when the old man wants acupuncture. Fortunately, the old man's treatment is mainly based on medicinal stones, supplemented by acupuncture, so he doesn't need to come often. Of course, this is not the main reason why he stopped persuading him. The key is that the old man's current physical condition is too weak. Chu Chen is afraid that the old man's body will not be able to bear the long journey. Since the old man won't go, he won't have to worry. ¡°Besides, if he really cannot make it back in time, he still has a prescription to replace acupuncture, but the prescription is still in the book and has not been clinically tested, so if it is not impossible, he does not want to test it on the elderly. As for Mr. Chu, Chu Chen realized that it was not that he used medicine to replace acupuncture, but that he discovered a more serious condition during the last acupuncture. Of course, it was not caused by his treatment, but that he did not have the previous lesions. Discover. Now Mr. Chu can only take medicine first, and wait for the area to stabilize before acupuncture. As for the time, Chu Chen estimates that it will take one to two months. After saying goodbye to Lin Dacheng and his family, Chu Chen began his long journey again. By the time they returned to Yuhuating in the capital, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon. Because he had called in advance, Zhao Xueyi was already waiting for them in the living room. When he saw the tired appearance of Chu Chen and others, he said: "Xiao?, you must be tired after traveling for several hours. Let¡¯s wait until tomorrow to discuss the matter of going to Mr. Liu¡¯s appraisal. " Hu Yong muttered from the side: "Originally I wanted to go, but Brother Chu didn't agree! " Chu Chen laughed and scolded: "You guy, I think you are going to be a father. I want to weigh you up and ask you to spend more time with your family Xiaoping. Are you still not happy? " "This is my job, and Xiaoping also supports me! "Hu Yong spoke eloquently. Chu Chen smiled and said: "Yes! It seems that you just want me to be an evil landlord! Then I can only help you from now on! You are going to Jinling anyway, so come with me on Saturday! " The reason why Hu Yong wants to go to Jinling is because the bodyguard he is looking for for Chu Chen is in a small town not far from Jinling, so he is on his way. Everyone laughed, and Hu Yong also smiled and responded: "Okay! " After laughing, Chu Chen asked Uncle Wu: "Dad, what do you think? " Uncle Wu smiled and waved his hand: "I've been walking all the way. Although I'm a little tired, I'll see if you can identify me. " "Then let's go to my master's place! "Chu Chen said. "Okay, let's go" The three of them came to Mr. Liu's side and unexpectedly discovered that there were guests at Mr. Liu's side. One of them, Chu Chen, knew him. He was the one who had been organized by the Capital Antiques Association before. At the exchange meeting, I met Mr. Ou, who specializes in calligraphy and painting (Chapter 317). In addition, there was a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old next to Mr. Ou. This man had a bookish air about him and his clothes. He was very well dressed. Chu Chen's first impression was that this person was either a lecturer or a professor at the university. After greeting him, Mr. Liu briefly introduced the two parties. It was exactly what Chu Chen thought. The middle-aged man¡¯s surname was Zheng, and he was an associate professor in the History Department of Beijing University. Mr. Liu smiled and said, ¡°Achen, you¡¯re here just in time to take a look at this calligraphy work by Zhao Mengfu. " Hearing this, Chu Chen and the other three couldn't help but be slightly startled. They came here to let Mr. Liu appraise Zhao Mengfu's calligraphy works. They didn't expect that Mr. Ou and the other two people had the same purpose as them. " Mr. Liu was a little surprised to see the three of them. With a look on his face, he asked: "What, is there any problem? Chu Chen smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing, let me take a look first" After saying that, he put on his gloves and stepped forward. When he saw the full picture of the work, he realized that the work in front of him was the same. It is also a hand scroll, but it is different from his "Luo Shen Fu" in that it is a running script work, and the content is "Tai Shang Wu Ji Hunyuan Yi Qi Convincing People." And one thing that is different is that the collection seal on this work. Quite a few. Chu Chen counted them carefully and found that there were as many as fourteen. However, although there were many collections of seals, a closer look revealed that these collectors were basically unknown collectors from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Some of them are father-son relationships. In identifying the authenticity of calligraphy and painting tablets, the most famous collection seal is Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. Du Changling has the seals of "Qianlong Imperial Treasure", "Qianlong Appreciation", "Yi Descendants" and other seals, indicating the history of these paintings and calligraphy being collected by emperors. There were also many high-level appraisers from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to the Republic of China. Their calligraphy and paintings with collection seals are more reliable, such as Xiang Zijing's "Tianji Pavilion" in the Ming Dynasty, Dong Qichang's "Xuan Shang Zhai", Liang Qingbiao's "Jiao Lin" in the Qing Dynasty, and An Qi's "Yi Zhou". "Collection", Gao Shiqi's "Jiangcun", and "Xuzhai Treasure" by Qingyuan of the Republic of China are all valued by the collection community. However, the collection seal is only used as a reference basis, and the collection seal does not mean that the work is the Authentic works, especially those collected by small families, are not that useful in the appraisal of calligraphy and painting. The reason is simple. The person's eyesight is not very good, so how reliable can the appraisal result be? Looking at the handwriting, although running script and regular script are two different fonts, since they were both written by Zhao Mengfu, the styles of both sides should be similar. However, after seeing the "Luo Shen Fu" and the calligraphy work in front of him, Chu Chen I feel that although the two are similar, they are similar in appearance at most. In terms of inner spirit, they are too far apart With an idea in mind, Chu Chen raised his head, and Mr. Ou quickly asked: "Xiao Chu, this picture. How is the work? " Before Chu Chen answered, he glanced at Mr. Liu, who smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, just make your promise! " Chu Chen nodded and said: "Seniors, let me be frank. I think that although this work is good, it cannot reach the height of Zhao Mengfu! "Professor Zheng did not look at Chu Chen differently because of his youth. He frowned and said, "I also know that this work is similar to Zhao Mengfu's later style.The difference is too big, but judging from the signature, in the 28th year of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhao Mengfu was only 37 years old, which was the early stage of his calligraphy career. " "There is a big difference between Zhao Mengfu's early and late styles. Many of his early works were regarded as fakes, such as Zhao Mengfu's two-body "Thousand-Character Document", which was quite controversial. I think this work of mine cannot be judged based on Zhao Mengfu¡¯s later calligraphy style"
