    Seeing that Meng Zitao had disappeared, the middle-aged man immediately ran away. When he ran to a secluded place, the young man wearing glasses was already waiting for him there.

    The middle-aged man ignored him and took out his mobile phone to make a call: "Yes 20,000 We agreed before that no matter how much I sell, it will be considered my hard work Then thank you boss."  !¡±

    Seeing that the middle-aged man put away his mobile phone happily, the young man immediately stepped forward and asked: "Brother, how are you? Did you succeed?"

    The middle-aged man said proudly: "You talk nonsense, but you still don't look at who I am. Isn't this kind of thing easy to do?"

    The young man¡¯s eyes shone: ¡°Haha, brother, how much did we earn this time?¡±

    As soon as the middle-aged man heard this, a raging anger rose in his chest. He raised his hand and gave the young man a few melon seeds, angrily scolded: "Do you know, because of your immature behavior just now, this  I only made 20,000 yuan back then. I asked you if you could offer less when you made the offer. When it goes up to 100,000 yuan, can others not run away?"

    The young man touched his head and said with an aggrieved look: "Brother, isn't this our first time? We have no experience. Besides, didn't this person pick up a few leaks and have a net worth of at least one million?  Why were you scared away with one hundred thousand?"

    "Then it depends on something. Just like if you spend 100 yuan to buy a pencil, would you be happy? Huh, if it wasn't the first time, I wouldn't break your legs."

    After the middle-aged man scolded him, he took out the money from his pocket and said with a happy face: "Speaking of which, this job is really profitable. Not to mention that the things are free, even if you buy them, you can't even buy a few."  The money changed hands for 20,000 yuan, which is really great. We still need to study it carefully and strive to carry forward this industry."

    Looking at the red banknotes in the middle-aged man's hand, the young man's eyes also shone, and he nodded repeatedly after hearing these words.  However, if they knew that something worth more than one million had slipped away from their hands, I don't know what their expressions would be.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After talking about it, Meng Zitao walked quickly towards Zhengyixuan with his things. When passing by Xue Wenguang's shop, he happened to see him looking at him with a half-smile. He paused for a moment and thought to himself: "This guy doesn't know how to do it."  What are you doing again?"

    After thinking about it, he put this thought aside, and trotted towards Zheng Yixuan with a happy face.

    When I walked into Zhengyixuan, I saw that only the clerk Xiao Zhao was still at his post.

    Meng Zitao stepped forward to inquire and found out that Wang Zhixuan would not come over for a while because of something else, while Cheng Qiheng and Wang Menghan were in the reception room.

    Walking into the reception room, Meng Zitao found that in addition to Cheng Qiheng and Wang Menghan, there was also an energetic old man in his fifties.

    We also know the old man Meng Zitao, who is a frequent customer of Zhengyixuan. His name is Dong Wenbai, known as Lao Dong. He likes to collect calligraphy and painting works the most, and he also has good calligraphy.

    At this time, Lao Dong was looking at a painting on the table with a magnifying glass, as if he wanted to climb onto the painting.

    Meng Zitao did not disturb Old Dong, smiled and signaled to Cheng Qiheng and the others, then walked up and looked at the seal of the scroll on the table.

    "Zong Bozhang, Dong Xuanzai? Isn't this Dong Qichang?"

    Dong Qichang, also known as Xuanzai, also known as Sibai and Xiangguang Jushi, was a calligrapher and painter of the Ming Dynasty.  In the 17th year of Wanli's reign, he was a Jinshi and was awarded the title of Editor of the Hanlin Academy. He was promoted to Minister of Rites in Nanjing and was given the posthumous title of "Wenmin" after his death.

    Dong Qichang's paintings are mainly landscapes, and he studied the four painters of Dong Ju, Ermi and Yuan Dynasties, pursuing the elegance of brushwork and profound artistic conception.  His paintings are carefree and full of interest.  He has read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles. He has a broad vision and has seen the famous monuments of ancient people.  His landscapes opened up a new paradigm and became the masterpiece of literati painting.

    Because of this, he had a profound impact on the painting world at that time and the Four Kings of the Qing Dynasty, and he was the leader of the Songjiang School of Painting.  And his works have also performed amazingly in the art market. For example, in 2007, his eight-fold booklet of calligraphy and painting was auctioned for more than 48 million yuan.

    Meng Zitao was shocked when he discovered that it was actually a painting by Dong Qichang. No wonder what Cheng Qiheng said on the phone first was quite mysterious. It turned out to be a painting by Dong Qichang. If it was an authentic painting, he would be proud of it.

    Then, Meng Zitao quickly looked at the content of the scroll.  I saw that this painting is a landscape painting, with rocks and trees nearby, a stream winding down in the middle, and mountains and peaks in the distance, covered with mist and rain.  The mountains and rocks are written in various ways, with thick ink dotted with moss and lush vegetation.

    ¡°Great painting!¡±

    After reading the content on the scroll, Meng Zitao couldn't help but praise it in his heart.In one sentence, the mountains, rivers, trees and rocks, the smoke and clouds are smooth, soft but strong, with flexible turns, clear layers of ink, clumsy yet graceful, clear, meaningful and elegant, and indeed have the style of Dong Qichang.

    Just when Meng Zitao thought that this work was probably authentic, he suddenly felt a sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu.

    During the recent period, considering that he was lacking in valuation, Meng Zitao went to the Internet to check a lot of auction information, and even asked Wang Zhixuan to borrow some.  Thanks to his amazing memory now, even though there was a lot of information, he could still remember about seventy-seven or eighty-eight.

    Therefore, he recalled carefully for a moment and found that except for a few parts, the contents of the scroll were consistent with a landscape painting by Dong Qichang that was auctioned in 2006.

    You must know that a painter is not a computer and can copy everything he painted before exactly.  Therefore, in real life, every time an artist paints something, it will be somewhat different. Even if he draws a circle, it will be somewhat different. It is even more impossible to paint people, animals, or landscapes.

    In this way, one of the two paintings must have a problem, and it is not difficult to guess which one has the problem.

    Looking at the triumphant Cheng Qiheng, Meng Zitao felt a little pity in his heart. Even if the old director couldn't see the problem, Wang Zhixuan would point it out when he came over. He didn't know what his expression would be like.

    Cheng Qiheng was happy. When he looked up, he saw Meng Zitao's strange eyes and felt a little strange. At this time, Old Dong also finished reading, so he smiled and said: "Zitao, this painting of mine is not bad, isn't it?"  ?¡±

    Meng Zitao chuckled: "It looks good, but I haven't looked at it carefully, so I don't know what it is like?"

    Meng Zitao's smile made Cheng Qiheng feel a strange feeling in his heart, but he didn't think much about it and said with a smile: "Then take a look first before talking."

    "OK."

    Meng Zitao also wanted to see what the painting was about, so he put the cricket jar on the table, took out his gloves and put them on, and began to appreciate it carefully. However, during this period, he still touched the scroll secretly.

    "Hey! That's actually what happened."

    After learning the results given by the superpower, Meng Zitao let out a light sigh in his heart.

    It turns out that this painting was indeed painted by Dong Qichang when he was alive, and the bell seal was also his, but most of the content was painted by others.

    Meng Zitao doesn¡¯t find this phenomenon strange. It is nothing more than the most common ghostwriting in the world of calligraphy and painting.

    Speaking of which, ghostwriting was common in the ancient calligraphy and painting circles. When some great painters painted for buyers, they would often invite friends who were also highly skilled in painting but not well-known to ghostwrite for them.

    There are many reasons for the emergence of modern writing. To sum up, there are no more than three types. First, the content of calligraphy and painting that others ask you to do is unfamiliar to you, and you cannot use your expertise.

    In addition, some famous calligraphers and painters, in addition to being able to create calligraphy and paintings, are also court officials. Some of them also hold high positions. They are usually busy with official duties and have many social activities, so they have no time to create calligraphy and paintings for others.

    Some calligraphers and painters are so famous that there are so many people asking for paintings that they can¡¯t handle it all by themselves, so it¡¯s only natural to ask for help.

    Not to mention ancient times, the phenomenon of ghostwriting still exists in today's calligraphy and painting circles, and it is relatively common, but today it is more driven by profit.

    For example, because of Dong Qichang's fame, there is an endless stream of people asking him to create works, but he would definitely not be able to complete them with his own ability, so it is very common to hire ghostwriters.

    When Dong Qichang was alive, he asked several of his students to paint and write for him. After Dong Qichang's death, there were even more ghostwriters who pretended to be Dong Qichang to paint and write.  It can be said that Dong Qichang's calligraphy and painting works handed down from later generations are a mixed bag, true and false.

    However, the real thing is not necessarily good, and the fake thing is not necessarily bad. The key lies in identification or appreciation.  In fact, when collecting, identification and appreciation are still different.

    Some people may say that a fake is a fake, how can it be better than the real thing?

    This is not necessarily true for Dong Qichang. In addition to the story mentioned above, there is another story that can prove this point.

    It is said that Dong Qichang once wrote a lot of calligraphy for a friend. Once, the friend took these words and asked Dong Qichang to evaluate which calligraphy was the best.  Dong Qichang looked at it carefully and selected a work with a dense structure, saying that this was his proudest work.

    Unexpectedly, after listening to Dong Qichang's words, the friend looked at the calligraphy carefully and said with a smile that the calligraphy was actually copied by someone else and was not Dong Qichang's original work.  After saying that, the two looked at each other and sighed.

    Think about it, Dong Qichang himself can¡¯t tell the authenticity of his calligraphy, how can he say that the imitation is not good?

    The words are returned to the original, and in addition, the painting and calligraphy is divided into several categories, which are mainly divided into three.

    First, the calligraphy and painting works are all created by ghostwriters, and only the seals belong to the calligrapher and painter; second, the calligraphy and painting works are entirely ghostwritten by others, but the calligraphers and painters use their own seals, as well as signatures or signatures; third, the calligraphers and painters ask others to create calligraphy and paintings.  For the main part, the calligrapher and artist make some additions, and then the calligrapher and artist sign and seal it.

    After careful observation, Meng Zitao believed that the painting in front of him should be the third situation. It is not a complete imitation. If Cheng Qiheng bought it cheaply, he should not lose money.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)Is it not working well?
