Chapter 291 The Original Copy of Listening to the Zither

Chapter 291 The Original Copy of Listening to the Zither

"You dispersed the crowd, what does it look like to form a circle?"

Rong Guangyao instructed the market attendant and turned to look at Liu Senming: "Senming, what's going on? Tell me."

"Uncle, let me tell you."

Rong Nian'en volunteered.

Although she didn't hear clearly what Chen Jianye said just now, after he finished speaking, Chen Jianye left in a swagger. No elders from either family tried to stop him, and Rong Nian'en also guessed something.

Immediately, Rong Nian'en explained the whole story.

Rong Guangyao glanced at Liu Guoqing unhappily, and stretched out his hand to Rong Nian'en: "Give me that porcelain bowl."

Rong Nian'en took out the wooden box and handed it over.

Rong Guangyao held the porcelain bowl, played with it for a while, frowned slightly, and handed it to Liu Senming beside him.

After Liu Senming tasted it, Rong Guangyao asked, "How is it?"

“It is undoubtedly genuine.”

Liu Senming said decisively.

“I think it’s authentic.”

"But that person said it was a fake, so you can go up and ask him."

Rong Guangyao said with a smile.

I had the idea of ​​getting to know Chen Jianye.

Since he is Director Mei's nephew and has the reputation of being an antique appraiser, it is reasonable for everyone to get to know him.

"Guoqing, you were the one who started this. Come with me and apologize to that person later."

Liu Senming ordered.

"That man's name is Chen Jianye."

Rong Nian'en added.

"Yes, you apologize to Chen Jianye."

Liu Senming continued.

"Uncle San, it was obviously Chen Jianye who took advantage of Nian En. He is uneducated and unskilled. How can it be my fault?"

Liu Guoqing was very angry.

"You don't listen to me, do you?"

Liu Senming's face turned serious.

"Listen, I will listen to what Third Uncle says."

Liu Guoqing quickly corrected it.

Large families have abundant resources and strict ethical codes.

If you don't listen to your elders, you will really be punished.

Liu Senming took a few steps forward, walked in front of Liu Guoqing, and whispered a few words.

The resentment on Liu Guoqing's face disappeared, and he obeyed willingly.

A group of four people chased in the direction of Chen Jianye and others.

Chen Jianye and the other two entered an antique shop.

This shop is also a calligraphy and painting shop, with various calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, from the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.

Moreover, most of the seals on the calligraphy and paintings are from the great masters of the dynasty at that time.

For example, in the Tang Dynasty there were Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, Ouyang Xun, in the Song Dynasty there were Su Shi, Huang Tingjian, Mi Di and so on.

Those works really look like the real thing.

Chen Jianye’s advanced skills in antique appraisal include a lot of content related to calligraphy and painting.

The level of appreciation is naturally very high.

Yang Haoming couldn't see the tricks in many calligraphy and paintings, and in Chen Jianye's eyes, they were completely fake.

It is quite realistic and may be a rubbing version.

But a rubbing is still a rubbing and can never be completely comparable to the original.

There is always a hint of unnaturalness in some details or corners.

Chen Jianye is still very fast at looking at antiques such as calligraphy and paintings.

In a blink of an eye, I saw the second wooden rack.

Suddenly, Chen Jianye's attention was attracted by a figure painting.

The fabric of the painting is not ordinary rice paper, but a long piece of brocade.

The materials used alone crush most calligraphy and paintings.

The painting depicts a person playing the piano, two people sitting and listening, and a boy following them, highlighting an elegant demeanor.

What moved Chen Jianye the most was that there was a seven-character quatrain on the left side of the painting.

The three words "Listening to the Qin Picture" are written in the lower right corner.

It is obviously the Slender Gold style.

There are eight seals on the painting.

There are seals such as "The Only One in the World", "Imperial Calligraphy", "Treasure for the Imperial Viewing of Jiaqing", "Shiqu Baoji", "Baoji Sanbian" and so on.

'Could it really be a painting of Song Huizong listening to the zither?'

Chen Jianye widened his eyes, knowing that he might have seen a treasure this time.

Song Huizong was an emperor of the Song Dynasty, but this emperor was very idle.

He doesn't like state affairs, but is passionate about literary and artistic work.

In the end, his country was destroyed and his family was ruined, and even he himself was captured by the Jin people and became a prisoner.

Although the historical evaluation of Song Huizong is very low, that is the evaluation based on his status as an emperor.

If we evaluate this person as an artist, hey, among all the emperors in history, Song Huizong can definitely take the top spot.

He created his own "Slender Gold" style, and his calligraphy and painting are both top-notch, and his lyrics are also good.

Combining all these achievements in one person, Song Huizong is definitely worthy of the title of an artistic master.

The most important reason why Chen Jianye judged that this Listening to the Zither Painting was authentic was the three words on the painting.

The three characters "听琴图" are indeed written in the thin gold style created by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, and they are his authentic works.

Although Slender Gold is a regular script, its brush strokes are unique and sharp, and each stroke is as crisp and clear as cutting gold or jade.

Most people don't have the ability to imitate Song Huizong's Slender Gold style.

Given the status of Emperor Huizong of Song, it is impossible for him to commit fraud.

Therefore, this calligraphy and painting is most likely authentic.

Chen Jianye took down the calligraphy and painting, looked at it carefully, and felt even more delighted.

If the Listening to the Zither Picture in his hand is an authentic work and is put up for auction in the future, it would be worth at least billions.

Finally, he had a collection of heirloom treasures worth hundreds of millions.

Because of Song Huizong's fame, this picture of listening to the zither could potentially be sold for ten billion.

The value of antiques lies in their craftsmanship on the one hand and their fame on the other.

For example, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is undoubtedly a national treasure.

The three words "Wang Xizhi" are of immeasurable value.

Although Song Huizong was not as accomplished as Wang Xizhi in terms of artistic achievements, his fame was no less.

Immediately, Chen Jianye rolled up the calligraphy and painting and prepared to go to the shopkeeper to negotiate the price.

No matter how much money the shopkeeper offered, he was ready to take it.

If you come across something you really like that is valuable and rare, you will naturally spend it regardless of the price.

Chen Jianye walked to the counter holding the scroll, but didn't have time to speak.

"Nephew Chen."

Rong Guangyao came over with four people.

God damn nephew.

The corners of Chen Jianye's mouth twitched.

The old guy is very skilled at making connections.

"Nephew Chen, that slap you gave was really good."

"Guoqing was usually spoiled by us. Fortunately, you helped to teach him a lesson, otherwise this kid's braids would have been up in the air."

Liu Senming said politely.

"Brother Chen, I was indeed wrong just now. I'm sorry."

Liu Guoqing took a step forward, bowed his head and bowed his hands.

"fine."

Chen Jianye waved his hand calmly.

Now he just wanted to buy the calligraphy and paintings in his hands. As for the Liu family and the Rong family, just put them aside.

"Nephew Chen, you just said that the tea bowl that Nian En bought was a fake. To be honest, I didn't see that."

"I wonder if you could help me solve this puzzle?"

Rong Guangyao asked politely.

"Yes, I've also seen that porcelain bowl, and it's really hard to find any fault with it."

"Nephew Chen, I believe you have your own unique ideas, so don't keep them to yourself, haha."

Liu Senming also expressed doubts.

Things did not go as planned. Chen Jianye wanted Rong Guangyao and his group to leave quickly, but they not only did not want to leave, they even asked questions and wanted to chat with Chen Jianye for a while.

"That porcelain bowl is a very genuine product, so it's normal that there are no problems with the craftsmanship."

"Just smell it. It's different from old antiques."

Chen Jianye said directly.

I have told you the trick, so please don't bother me this time.

Rong Nian'en quickly took out the porcelain tea bowl, put it under his nose and smelled it, but didn't smell any big difference.

She shook her head slightly and handed the tea bowl to Rong Guangyao.

"Well, no wonder I couldn't tell whether this tea bowl was real or fake just now. Thanks to my nephew Chen for reminding me."

Rong Guangyao smelled it and suddenly realized.

Then he handed it to Liu Senming.

"That's it, that's it."

"Nephew Chen, regardless of past grudges, has generously shared his experience, which really puts us to shame."

Liu Senming was amazed and handed the tea bowl to Liu Guoqing again.

Liu Guoqing smelled it and felt that it had no smell.

He even suspected that the two old men really smelled the difference, or were just pretending to be so and flattering Chen Jianye.
