    Although the year is not recorded on this painting, from the perspective of painting techniques, Meng Zitao believes that this is an earlier work by Tang Yin, which is still very rare. In terms of the current market value, it must be at least about 20 million.

    Meng Zitao turned his head and was about to talk to Shu Ze when he saw Shu Ze looking confused.

    "What's wrong?" Meng Zitao asked in a low voice.

    "I have seen this painting before." Shu Ze said: "And it is exactly the same. Logically speaking, the other party cannot sell it."

    Meng Zitao looked at the paintings on the stand with some surprise and said, "This is an authentic work."

    Since Meng Zitao said it was an authentic work, there must be no mistake. Shu Ze said: "There must be some problem with this. I will go back and find out more about it."

    Meng Zitao nodded, and then looked at the scrolls on the stand. After all, calligraphy and painting works of this level are quite rare, and they are Tang Yin's works, so they must be appreciated carefully.

    Next, when everyone had finished appreciating it, Song Mingyan started a review session. Of course, everyone¡¯s words were compliments, which made Song Mingyan laugh heartily.

    After appreciating this work, the morning exchange meeting was basically over. What was left was the charity auction, which was arranged for the afternoon.

    Meng Zitao and Shu Ze both have charitable causes in their names, and they don't need to rely on this to earn fame, so they are not interested in the charity auction in the afternoon.

    So, after the exchange meeting, Meng Zitao asked Jiang Mingbao to help introduce Song Mingyan, but the result was not good. Although Song Mingyan was also interested in the purple clay teapot, Meng Zitao had to make up the price difference of one million yuan before he would transfer the Ronghua Flower God Cup to  Meng Zitao.

    In terms of value, Meng Zitao¡¯s Imperial Purple Clay Pot was almost the same as the Ronghua Flower God Cup. If it was within 500,000 yuan, Meng Zitao would agree without hesitation. But Song Mingyan¡¯s price of one million was very uneconomical for Meng Zitao.

    Since they can't reach an agreement, Meng Zitao won't force it. At worst, he will find someone else to inquire.

    Originally, Meng Zitao wanted to inquire about the situation from Li Congxian, but after Qian Rusong learned about it, he told Meng Zitao that as far as he knew, the two men did not have a close relationship with Shi Laoba, so it was better to let the police inquire.

    In this matter, he was definitely not as good as Qian Rushong, a local. Meng Zitao agreed with him.

    Jiang Mingbao and the others were from the local antique circle and had to participate in the charity auction, so Meng Zitao said goodbye to them.

    The three of them went to have lunch, and then, led by Qian Rusong, headed to Lu Zangdong¡¯s ex-wife¡¯s house.

    On the way, Qian Rusong told Meng Zitao that the reason why he asked him to explain the problem with the guqin just now was actually because of Lu Zangdong¡¯s ex-wife.

    The reason why Lu Zangdong and his ex-wife divorced was because of the interference of his mistress, and Lu Zangdong also beat his ex-wife because of his mistress. Therefore, his ex-wife hated Lu Zangdong deeply and wanted to send Lu Zangdong to the eighteenth level of hell, where he would never be able to make a comeback.

    Because Qian Rusong had several conflicts with Lu Zangdong, he also hated Lu Zangdong very much. He accidentally learned about the relationship between Lu Zangdong and his ex-wife some time ago, and wanted to see if he could attack Lu Zangdong through his ex-wife, so he tried to contact her.  I didn't expect that it would really work out.

    After listening to Qian Rusong's story, Meng Zitao murmured in his heart. He is an old man in his sixties and still looking for a mistress. He is really an old pervert.

    He said: "In other words, that Guqin was actually set up by Lu Zangdong's ex-wife?"

    "Absolutely." Qian Rusong smiled.

    Shu Ze expressed his opinion: "This woman is not a light-hearted person. Who knows how credible her words are?"

    Qian Rusong shrugged: "We have already met her request. If she can't produce evidence, I won't be easy to deal with."

    "Then let's see what the result is." Shu Ze said.

    The group of people soon arrived at Lu Zangdong¡¯s ex-wife¡¯s house. After ringing the doorbell, someone immediately opened the door.

    The person who opened the door was a sweet-looking woman who looked to be in her early forties. Meng Zitao and Shu Ze were somewhat surprised to learn that this person was Lu Zangdong's ex-wife. The woman was actually in her fifties, and it was good to be able to take care of herself so well.  , and good-looking, I really can¡¯t figure out why Lu Zangdong, who is in his sixties, still wants to find a mistress.

    Of course, they were just curious about this question and did not want to care about the family affairs of these two people.

    Zhou Shiyan seemed very happy to see Qian Rusong, invited everyone to the living room, and poured tea for everyone.

    "I have already heard about what happened in the morning. The old man has lost both face and dignity. I don't know how he will feel when he finds out that I am the one who found the guqin."?

    Meng Zitao noticed a hint of cruelty in Zhou Shiyan's smile and shook his head secretly. Although Zhou Shiyan was a victim, it would not be a happy thing if his heart was full of hatred.

    Qian Rusong smiled and said: "Sister Zhou, I have done what you asked me to do. I don't know about my affairs"

    Zhou Shiyan said: "We will discuss this later. You guys can help me identify something first."

    Qian Rusong was a little unhappy: "Sister Zhou, that's not what we said at the beginning."

    Zhou Shiyan said: "What, do you still think that I will lie to you? And to tell you the truth, the things I asked you to identify are also related to the old immortal."

    Qian Rusong looked at Meng Zitao and Shu Ze. Meng Zitao smiled and said, "As long as you believe in our identification results, there will be no problem."

    Zhou Shiyan smiled and complimented: "This little brother should be the one who commented this morning. I didn't expect that he is very young but has a very good vision. Even the master who made the eye at the beginning was not as detailed as you said. He is really formidable.  !¡±

    "You're flattered." Meng Zitao smiled slightly.

    Qian Rusong took over and said, "Okay, everyone's time is limited, so you'd better get your things out as soon as possible."

    "Young people, don't be so impatient. As the old saying goes, you can't eat hot tofu if you are impatient." Zhou Shiyan got up and walked to the bedroom with a smile.

    "Old goblin, no wonder Lu Zangdong is looking for a mistress." Qian Rusong muttered dissatisfiedly.

    After a while, Zhou Shiyan came back with an ancient painting.

    "This painting is a work by Zhou Chen of the Ming Dynasty. It was compensated to me by the old immortal when they got divorced. It was said to be worth seven or eight million. I never thought he would be so kind, although many people said he was not.  question, but I still feel like something¡¯s not right.¡±

    Zhou Shiyan and Lu Zangdong have been husband and wife for decades. They have also learned some appraisal skills in calligraphy and painting, and they still have some good eyesight.

    The scroll unfolded, and an outstanding landscape painting appeared in front of everyone. In the painting, a palace towered in the distance, with raised eaves and corners, surrounded by pines and cypresses. It was like a fairyland, majestic and magical, with a cloud-like pagoda standing proudly on the top of a mountain peak, looking into the sky, and a vast lake.  In the sky, mountains stand tall.  The fishing boats sing late on the lake shore, there are several thatched huts in the jungle, and the distant mountains are filled with clouds and mist, seeming to be thousands of miles away.

    In addition, the inscription on the painting is "Gusu Zhouchen" and the seal is "Dongcun, Shunqing".  There is also a collection seal of Wu Hufan.

    Wu Hufan was one of the most famous painters "Three Wu and One Feng" in Shanghai during the Republic of China.  His grandfather was the famous calligrapher Wu Dazheng, and his family had many ancestral bronzes, calligraphy and paintings. Wu Hufan also had a good eye, and later acquired a large number of Ming and Qing calligraphy and paintings, making him one of the most influential calligraphy and painting collectors in Shanghai.

    Wu Hufan's high achievements in the appraisal of calligraphy and painting can be reflected from the appraisal of two landscape paintings by Huang Gongwang: Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty was very fond of calligraphy and painting of the past dynasties, but sometimes he failed in subjective assumptions when appraising it.  It was Wu Hufan who regarded "Spring Mountain Residence" as a fake.  In the 1930s, Wu Hufan discovered his mistakes during the review of exhibits for the "Chinese Antiquities Exhibition in Britain" and vindicated the authentic work.

    He also accidentally discovered the first volume of "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains", "Chengshan Picture", in a friend's old collection of paintings and calligraphy, and purchased it at a high price. This painting is now the treasure of the Zhejiang Provincial Museum.

    After a while, Meng Zitao said: "Sister Zhou, I wonder if you have heard of the story of Wu Hufan's appraisal of "Sleeping Monkey Picture"?"

    "No, come and listen." Zhou Shiyan shook her head, having a bad feeling in her heart.

    Meng Zitao recounted that Wu Hufan also had some problems in his collecting career. For example, he included a so-called "Sleeping Monkey" by the Song Dynasty painter Liang Kai. In fact, this painting was made by Zhang Daqian.  After he received it, he asked the famous connoisseur Ye Gongchuo to inscribe a seven-character postscript on the poem hall of the painting "The best Liang madman in the world". The painting is now in an overseas museum.

    In fact, based on Wu Hufan's appraisal level and his familiarity with Zhang Daqian's painting style, and the fact that there is an inscription on the painting that Zhang Daqian asked Ye Gongchuo to "help out", it is clear that there is no silver 300 taels in this place, Wu Hufan should easily be able to tell  This is a masterpiece by an old friend, and the possibility of being fooled is very low. Therefore, Wu Hufan clearly knew that this was a fake painting by Zhang Daqian, but he did it deliberately for financial or other purposes.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
