    Meng Zitao took a sip of the tea that shopkeeper Zeng had just poured for him, moistened his throat, and asked, "Mr. Wang, do you have any questions?"

    "Bang bang" Wang Qianli applauded: "Shopkeeper Meng made it so clear, how can I have any questions!"

    Others nodded in agreement and were also surprised by Meng Zitao's attainments in porcelain appraisal.  Thinking about it, when I was Meng Zitao's age, I seemed to be just a raw melon and egg in terms of antiques.

    At this time, Zhang Jingqiang called Meng Zitao and learned about the situation of the jade pendant. He did not give up and asked Meng Zitao to take the jade pendant back.

    Meng Zitao told Shopkeeper Zeng about this, and Shopkeeper Zeng apologized and gave Meng Zitao five flower slices.

    After writing a receipt to Shopkeeper Zeng, Meng Zitao was about to leave. At this time, Wang Qianli said with a smile on his face: "Shopkeeper Meng, I heard that this is the leak you just picked up. Can you open our eyes?"

    Meng Zitao was a little puzzled, but when he saw Meng Hongchang's embarrassed look, he immediately understood that it was Meng Hongchang who should have revealed it.

    Meng Zitao doesn¡¯t care much about this. Antiques focus on communication. If you comment on the works, you may have some unique insights.

    "No problem at all."

    Meng Zitao nodded in agreement, stepped forward and put the scroll on the table and unfolded it. When everyone saw the content of the painting, they suddenly exclaimed: "A work by Shen Zhou (Qinan)?! It actually has Jiaqing's collection seal!"

    Who is Shen Zhou?  The "Wumen School of Painting" in the mid-Ming Dynasty was so great!  Together with Wen Zhengming, Tang Yin and Qiu Ying, they are known as the "Four Ming Schools".

    In particular, Shen Zhou's paintings had a profound impact on the development of later landscape paintings. First, they integrated the south into the north and promoted the tradition of literati painting; second, they further combined poetry, calligraphy and painting to make the concept of literati painting clearer and strengthened.  , making his paintings more poetic and picturesque.

    It can be said that Shen Zhou's paintings are the dream collection of every calligraphy and painting collector. Once his paintings appear on the auction market, they are the focus of everyone. For example, the hand scroll of Shen Zhou's "Fishing Alone on the Cold River" in 2006 was sold after a lot of competition.  , it sold for a high price of more than 24 million.

    Now, a painting by Shen Zhou appears in front of everyone, and it was found by chance. Why aren't everyone shocked and jealous?

    For a time, after everyone obtained Meng Zitao¡¯s consent, they all concentrated on observing the paintings. The whole shop was silent, and only everyone¡¯s breathing could be heard.

    After appreciating the paintings, Li Shijiang's eyes were very hot, and he was even more envious and jealous of Meng Zitao. Why was it that this boy, Meng Zitao, picked up this treasure instead of himself? It's so unfair!

    "No, I have to ask if I can get this painting!"

    Li Shijiang was unwilling to accept it, so he immediately took action and asked with a smile: "Shopkeeper Meng, do you have any idea of ??transferring this painting?"

    Li Shijiang¡¯s words caused everyone¡¯s attention to shift from the painting to Meng Zitao, waiting for Meng Zitao¡¯s answer.

    Although Meng Zitao was not surprised that everyone wanted this painting, he still felt a little incredible. Could it be that not one of the five people realized that this painting was a copy of Wang Lai?

    Seeing everyone's performance, Meng Zitao would have doubted whether his judgment was wrong if he hadn't come to the conclusion given by his superpower.

    "I really have no intention of collecting this painting"

    Meng Zitao¡¯s words made everyone happy, but what he said next made everyone doubtful: ¡°However, I still have some questions about this painting.¡±

    Meng Zitao¡¯s business intention is long-term cooperation. Unless the other party¡¯s behavior makes him unhappy, he is unlikely to dig holes for others to jump into if he knows it.  Of course, he is not a pedantic person. It is impossible to say that if you tell him everything and you have already warned him, but you still jump down, then it is not his problem.

    "You're not saying that this painting is not authentic, are you?" Li Shijiang said in surprise.

    Meng Zitao said: "I think I have some doubts about whether it is authentic or not."

    "You actually don't even think that the works that Jiaqing has appreciated are wrong. Is this guy stupid? That's right. How old is this guy? He not only understands jade but also porcelain. He must not be that proficient in calligraphy and painting appraisal. Haha! Since you are so stupid  , then don¡¯t blame me for missing it from your hand.¡±

    Li Shijiang laughed in his heart, feeling that Meng Zitao's judgment was ridiculous, and his heart became even more heated.

    Shopkeeper Zeng next to him wanted to ask, but after thinking about it again, he felt that asking this question was too bad and might ruin Meng Zitao's business.  Moreover, when he saw Li Shijiang's fiery eyes, how could he not know what Li Shijiang was thinking? If there was indeed something wrong with this painting, he would still wish Li Shijiang was in trouble.

    However, Wang Qianli did not expect this, and asked with some confusion: "Shopkeeper Meng, I wonder if you can tell me what you think is wrong?"

    "These two places" Meng Zitao pointed out two problems in the painting. Of course, if you insist on saying so, these two places can be said to be correct, and they seem somewhat specious.

    Shopkeeper Zeng looked at where Meng Zitao was pointing, looked at it, and let out a light sigh: "Hey, it seems something is wrong."

    "That's not right!"

    Li Shijiang took a closer look and despised Shopkeeper Zeng in his heart. He thought this was not a problem at all, it was just that there were some differences compared with Shen Zhou's previous works. Moreover, this difference did not break away from the characteristics of Shen Zhou's brushwork.  It's just a chance factor. Besides, if the problem is really obvious, will there be a Jiaqing seal of appreciation?

    Li Shijiang¡¯s idea cannot be said to be problematic, but he believed too much in the emperor¡¯s appreciation level just like some people now believe in experts.

    In fact, the emperor is also a human being, and he also makes mistakes. Let¡¯s not talk about Jiaqing, let¡¯s talk about the famous Emperor Qianlong. As we all know, he collected many fakes.

    Back then, Huang Gongwang's "Fuchun Mountain Residence", which was praised by Zou Zhilin of the Ming Dynasty as "the Orchid Pavilion of the Right Army, divine and holy", and more than 10 copies of it by famous artists of the Ming and Qing dynasties, were all considered by Qianlong.  The authentic and genuine product has repeated inscriptions and is also included in the "Shiqu Baoji".

    One time, in order to please Qianlong, Heshen spent a lot of money to buy the original "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" from the private sector and gave it to Qianlong. After Qianlong looked at it, his face turned pale and he felt unhappy. He thought to himself, what the hell, what a chant.  The chant has been chanted and the stamp has been stamped. If something is wrong, won¡¯t I lose face?  Okay, if you say this is an authentic work, let the experts identify it.

    So, Qianlong summoned Liang Shizheng, a poet, and pointed to these authentic works and said: "Liang Aiqing, come and identify it, is this authentic? If so, how can I explain this painting?"

    "Back to the Emperor, thisthis" Liang Shizheng looked at the original, then looked back at the fake. She didn't know how to answer. She was thinking in her mind that if she told the truth, the Emperor would be embarrassed this time. If she told lies,  If you say that, you will offend Heshen. If you offend a villain like Heshen, there will naturally be trouble in the future.

    "The ancients said that the king of hell is easy to meet, but the devil is difficult to deal with. It is better to offend a gentleman than a villain."  Yes, for your own safety and to keep the genuine product from being lost, you should tell the truth.

    "Your Majesty, this this is genuine"

    Before Liang Shizheng could finish his words, Qianlong pointed to the "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" that had already been inscribed and postscripted and said, "Please take a closer look at me. Where is the fake scroll painting? And who made it?"

    Liang Shizheng was restrained and raised his head to see Qianlong's face. That expression told Liang Shizheng to follow his wishes, to identify the fake as the original and to call the original as a fake.

    Under that situation, Liang Shizheng had no choice but to label Huang Gongwang's original work as a fake for the sake of his own life and Wu Shamao, and included it in the "Shiqu Baoji¡¤Third Edition".

    Many stories like this happened to Qianlong. In the final analysis, he was just a collector. Jiaqing, including many emperors throughout the ages, were similar. At best, they could only be called enthusiasts, not experts.  Because they are emperors, they have the ability to "turn a deer into a horse".

    It is obviously undesirable to think like Li Shijiang that the Jiaqing Appraisal Seal is the basis for authenticity.

    Closer to home, Li Shijiang believed that Shopkeeper Zeng also echoed the statement that there was something wrong with the painting because he wanted to fish in troubled waters. Of course, he could not let the other party succeed. Of course, Shopkeeper Zeng¡¯s words were also good for him.

    So, Li Shijiang said with regret on the surface: "Ah, shopkeeper Zeng also thinks there is a problem? Then this painting must be an old imitation. It's a pity. If it is genuine, Shen Zhou's paintings are very popular now. They are up for auction.  If so, it is the target that everyone is fighting for!"

    "Yes, if it is authentic, if this work is sold at a big auction, it will definitely fetch a high price, which will allow Shopkeeper Meng to have food and clothing for the rest of his life. What a pity!"

    The man standing next to Wang Qianli shook his head and said: "However, even if this painting is a forgery, the artistic level is not low. Coupled with Jiaqing's collection seal, it is also of great artistic value. If the author can be verified,  If it is a famous artist, the value of this painting cannot be lower. To be honest, I really envy Shopkeeper Meng for being able to pick up such a leak. "

    Meng Zitao waved his hand modestly: "Luck, it's all just luck."

    Wang Qianli said with a smile: "This kind of picking up leaks relies on eyesight and luck. The two complement each other."

    "That's right, Shopkeeper Meng, don't be humble"

    After a few compliments, Li Shijiang asked: "Shopkeeper Meng, you just said that you have no intention of collecting this painting, right?"

    "That's right." Meng Zitao asked, "Do you still have any ideas?"

    Li Shijiang said sincerely: "I know there are some problems with this painting, but I really like this painting. I can't forget it when I first saw it. If I miss it today, I won't be able to sleep at all."  Have a good sleep" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com)Picking up leaks depends on one's eyesight and the other on luck.

    "That's right, Shopkeeper Meng, don't be humble"

    After a few compliments, Li Shijiang asked: "Shopkeeper Meng, you just said that you have no intention of collecting this painting, right?"

    "That's right." Meng Zitao asked, "Do you still have any ideas?"
