Although Quan Xiangning lives in an old community and is not large in terms of apartment size, his home also has a split-level building. He bought the upstairs and renovated it after opening up the upper and lower floors, so the area is not small.
Taking everyone to the living room, Quan Xiangning invited everyone to take a seat and asked his wife to serve everyone tea. Then he did not directly get into the topic, but chatted with everyone for a while about interesting things in the antique world.
After chatting for a while, Quan Xiangning asked with a smile: "Mr. Meng is from Ling City, so he must know Shopkeeper Xi, right?"
"Not only do we know each other, but every time we meet, enemies are extremely jealous when they meet." Meng Zitao nodded with a smile, and cursed in his heart.
Meng Zitao was not surprised that Quan Xiangning knew Xi Zhengzhen. After all, the antique community was not that big. As Xi Zhengzhen was a prominent figure in the antique industry in Ling City, it was normal for people in the industry in other places to hear about him.
As for whether having a good relationship with Xi Zhengzhen necessarily means there is something wrong with his character, that's not necessarily true, but Quan Xiangning has been labeled as "not a good person" in Meng Zitao's heart.
Speaking of which, Meng Zitao hasn¡¯t heard from Xi Zhengzhen for a long time.
Since learning that Xi Zhengzhen was in contact with Jiang Siyuan, Department No. 3 has investigated and monitored him. However, he didn't get any clues from Xi Zhengzhen, and Xi Zhengzhen was also a bit cunning, so he didn't do anything personally if there were basically some problems.
Aware of the danger, during this period, Xi Zhengzhen basically lived in seclusion, and there was no news about him in the antique circles of Ling City.
Seeing Meng Zitao nodding, Quan Xiangning said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Xi and I have been friends for many years. Whenever he comes back to Yangcheng, he always comes to my place for tea. In August, I will go to Xiangjiang with him. "
"Sorry, shopkeeper Xi and I are not familiar with each other." Meng Zitao waved his hand. If Quan Xiangning hadn't told him, he really didn't know that Xi Zhengzhen was going to Xiangjiang in August, so he quickly remembered it in his heart.
The reason why Quan Xiangning moved Xi Zhengzhen out was not only to bring him closer to Meng Zitao, but also to set the stage. If Meng Zitao and Xi Zhengzhen have a good relationship, they should be careful when speaking.
In addition, even if they are only at the stage of acquaintance, Xi Zhengzhen is one of the big names in the antique industry in Ling City, and Meng Zitao can achieve his goal as long as he takes care of it.
Furthermore, judging from Meng Zitao's attitude, he didn't care about Xi Zhengzhen, which was somewhat beyond Quan Xiangning's expectation. He thought to himself, "Is there any conflict between this boy and Xi Zhengzhen?"
If Quan Xiangning knew that there was more than a simple conflict between Meng Zitao and Xi Zhengzhen, he would probably regret moving to Xi Zhengzhen just now.
Because of these words, the atmosphere became a little subtle, and Quan Xiangning lost the interest in chatting, so he invited everyone to his study.
In addition to the collection of antique books, Quan Xiangning¡¯s study also has many works by famous artists hanging on it, which looks quite charming.
After Meng Zitao entered the study, he directly activated his powers. The calligraphy and painting works here are basically valuable, but some of the values ??reflected are just imitations. This also includes a painting that Quan Xiangning is holding now. . However, it may be because the level of imitators is relatively high and the value is relatively high.
Quan Xiangning opened the scroll and asked everyone to take a look.
Although Meng Zitao's appraisal was the main focus this time, in order to prevent Quan Xiangning from being suspicious, when Ge Qingyun introduced Meng Zitao, he only said that Meng Zitao was a lover of antiques, and the two of them had already agreed in advance that they were appreciators. Let Ge Qingyun take a look first.
As usual, more than twenty minutes later, Ge Qingyun walked out of the desk, his face full of admiration. It seemed that he thought there was nothing wrong with the painting.
Next, Meng Zitao put on his snow-white gloves and stepped forward to appreciate them.
This is a picture of "Reading in a Shanzhai". It is about 5 square feet in size. The seal in the lower right corner is "Gao Shenglao", which is the seal of Gao Xiang, one of the "Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou".
Compared with Zheng Banqiao, Jin Nong and others, Gao Xiang's recognition in the minds of ordinary people is not very high, but in fact, the formation of the Eight Monsters of Yangzhou is inseparable from Shi Tao, and to a certain extent, it is also inseparable from Gao Xiang. Finger painting is worth mentioning in his artistic life.
It is said that Gao Xiang once had a party with friends. The friend knew that he was a master of painting and asked him to paint. He found paper and ink but not a pen. In order not to disappoint everyone, Gao Xiang dipped his finger in ink and painted a picture of flowers and birds. This piece of flowers and birds is still vivid, energetic, and particularly childish and cute. From then on, Gao Xiang's finger painting took off uncontrollably, and he inadvertently created a new type of painting, and he naturally became the originator of this type of painting.
In addition, Gao Xiang is also good at seal cutting and is good at painting flowers and landscapes. The painting of plum blossoms has a pine and graceful brushwork, a green and moist technique, and is characterized by sparse branches and thin trunks. The landscape brushwork is simple and elegant, and he likes to create small garden scenes.
The painting in front of me depicts a scholar studying in a thatched cottage under Qiao Ke's Chonggang, among the green bananas and bamboos. The sound of the spring outside the window is murmuring, and the mountains are quiet as the sun grows longer. The pen and ink are simple and light, full of freshness, which is in line with Gao Xiang's writing characteristics.
In addition to the painting skills, the paper, etc., all conform to the characteristics of the original work.
However, since it is a forgery, there are always flaws to be found. Because Meng Zitao knew the result, he quickly found several problematic areas after deductive reasoning.
Seeing Meng Zitao calmly walking down from the desk, Quan Xiangning asked the two of them with a smile on his face: "Mr. Meng, what do you think of my painting?"
"This painting is not bad." Meng Zitao nodded. He said this, and it was also discussed before. If the painting is authentic, then the author's name will be mentioned in his words. Otherwise, it means there is something wrong with the painting.
Ge Qingyun heard a glimmer of light in his eyes.
At this time, Quan Xiangning said with a smile: "After all, it is the work of Gao Xiang, one of the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou. The painting style is very high, diluting the simplicity and tranquility, and being distant and distant. It perfectly reflects the characteristics of Gao Xiang's painting skills. Mr. Meng, are you right? wrong?"
Originally, Meng Zitao would not express any opinions at this time, but Quan Xiangning said this, clearly forcing him to agree with this point of view, which he certainly could not simply reply to.
Otherwise, if Quan Xiangning finds an opportunity to take out this painting and say that he also agrees that it is Gao Xiang's authentic work, then that is ridiculous. In the end, it will definitely bring him some trouble.
Meng Zitao felt that Quan Xiangning knew that there was something wrong with the painting, but he still asked this question. The evil intentions were relatively high, so he spoke more directly: "The style of this painting is indeed more in line with Gao Xiang's characteristics."
How could Gao Xiangning not understand the meaning of these words? His expression suddenly changed: "You mean, this painting is a fake?"
Meng Zitao chuckled. Although he didn't say it clearly, the meaning was self-evident.
Gao Xiangning¡¯s expression, which had always been smiling, completely changed: ¡°Young man, don¡¯t think that you can give some guidance after learning a little bit, or do you think that you can become a master of appraisal after reading a few books?¡±
Gao Xiangning's severe accusation did not make Meng Zitao angry, because he felt that there was no point in getting angry with such a person, and he was absolutely sure to kill him with one blow.
At this time, of course Ge Qingyun had to help Meng Zitao, otherwise he would not be able to explain it. He said: "Mr. Gao, we have something to talk about. Why don't we let Mr. Meng express his opinion, and then we can talk about other things?"
"Hmph!" Gao Xiangning rebuked directly: "What is the most important thing in our industry? Knowledge and experience! He hasn't even learned to walk yet, and he wants to run away. With his ability, what can he see and what insights can he have?! "
Gao Xiangning talked about seniority, as if his age meant he was authoritative, which made Meng Zitao laugh in his heart.
It should be said that in the antique industry, being older does have advantages, and experts in general are indeed older. However, if you say that older people must be more authoritative, that would be to rely on your old age.
Meng Zitao felt a little angry in his stomach, and with a sarcastic smile on his face, he asked: "Mr. Gao, since you so firmly believe that this painting is authentic, can you talk about the evidence? Otherwise, it will be empty talk. It¡¯s unconvincing!¡±
"Okay, you want evidence, right? I'll be generous today and give you a free lesson."
Quan Xiangning glanced at Meng Zitao with disdain, then walked to the desk, pointed at the painting, and said: "In this painting, the author used the method of moving from far to near to vividly depict the mountains and mountains. The solitary peak in the distance The trees and pines stand tall, letting us feel the tenacity of the vitality of the pines.¡±
"The thin gauze-like white mist covers the top of the mountain. It can be seen that the mountain is high and far away, perhaps conveying his heroic and broad-minded thoughts and feelings. The mountain is lower nearby, as if he is overlooking everything in the mountain. Observe carefully. , every plant and tree on the mountain can be seen in detail.¡±
"The brush he uses is both green and moist, elegant yet ancient, and the simplicity contains interest. The use of ink also combines thick and light, with clear layers. The simple color combination, concise brushwork, and elegant ink color create a kind of An ethereal feeling¡¡±
Quan Xiangning talks with great confidence, and he is indeed very confident.
Previously, Quan Xiangning saw that although Meng Zitao was young, he was still relatively knowledgeable in terms of temperament. In addition, he was brought by Ge Qingyun, so he probably had two skills.
In this case, of course he had to be more cautious, so he mentioned Xi Zhengzhen. Seeing that Meng Zitao was not interested in Xi Zhengzhen, for the sake of safety, he changed to another painting and took out one that he thought was authentic. Of course, he spoke very confidently.
At the end of Quan Xiangning's words, Ge Qingyun began to hesitate. Meng Zitao had left a deep impression on him when he appraised his collection, and what he said was clear and logical. There was no objection at all, so He believed in Meng Zitao very much.
But now Quan Xiangning has come up with a lot of strong evidence. Ge Qingyun can't refute it even if he asks himself. Moreover, although he just appreciated it with prejudice, he was impressed by the painting, so he began to doubt Meng Zitao's judgment in his heart. . (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com), for the sake of safety, he changed to another painting and took out a painting that he thought was authentic.
