Happy Tycoon

Chapter 84: Fake

   The old uncle looked for a while on the bookshelf, and then pulled out a rather heavy book from it, and walked over with it in his arms.

   Yang Jin recognizes that this book is a set of books that it took a long time for a foreigner to make it himself. That's right, this book was not bought, it was made by grandpa and his old man bit by bit.

There are five volumes in this set, all of which are about paper. Yang Jing didn’t read it less when he was a child, but at that time there were only three volumes in this set. The last two volumes were made in the two years before his grandpa’s illness. from.

   It is also fortunate that Yang Jing used to read these books when he was a child, otherwise he would not see the five pages of Song Shu carved in "Huajianji" today.

   These five volumes are all introductions and analyses of papers that appeared in ancient my country. In addition to photos and some paper samples, the contents of the book are the characteristics and subtle gaps of these papers summarized by Grandpa himself.

According to my grandfather himself, the reason why it took more than 20 years to produce these five volumes is because my grandfather punched his eyes when he went to the first diling ghost market in Tianqu in the 1980s. Take medicine and buy a fake painting.

   Yang Jing has also seen that painting, and that painting has always been hung in this room.

   Yang Jing involuntarily raised his head and looked at the painting that had been hanging next to the bookshelf.

   The painting is an ink painting. Two birds stand on two crossed branches. One bird is looking at something with its head raised, while the other bird is bowing its head and trimming its feathers with its beak.

   Although the picture is very simple, Yang Jing knows that this painting is not simple. If the painting is authentic, then the value will be great.

   This painting is historically the painting of Zhu Da, a person from Badashan Mountain. As for Zhu Di's paintings, the average auction price per square foot at auction has now exceeded 4 million yuan!

   It is a pity that although this painting looks vivid, it is a fake.

   This painting named "Dead Wood Comes to the Birds" was once collected by the famous calligraphy and seal engraver and collector Feng Kanghou, and later by the famous calligraphy and painter and collector Wang Jiqian. It has never been among the people.

On the original copy of "The Pictures of Dead Trees and Birds", there is an old title by Mr. Feng Kanghou: "Bada Shanren robins come to Tongtu", mistaken the two birds for starlings, and the dead trees for the paulownia trees, and the name of the eight masters is invisible. Known is also limited.

   means that after he collected this painting that year, he mistakenly regarded the two birds in the painting as myna and the two dead branches as plane trees. As a result, he gave this painting such a name.

   Later, after this painting was collected by Mr. Wang Jiqian, Mr. Wang gave the painting an inscription and a side note, and stamped the appraisal seal on the painting.

   When Grandpa bought this fake, it was in 1986. According to my grandfather, he encountered an old man with a southern accent in the ghost market that first appeared in Tianqu, that is, the ghost market in Tiling. The old man was over sixty years old and dressed very decently. Coupled with that sip of Hong Kong Island Putonghua, I knew at a glance that this old man should be a compatriot from Hong Kong Island.

   Grandpa was very curious at the time, so he asked this old man what he was doing in such a ghost market? The old man said he was from Hong Kong Island and was planning to go to Beijing to do errands, but because he was greedy and admired Tianqu's grilled chicken, he stayed in Tianqu for two days. He also heard that there was a ghost market here, so he came to the ghost market early in the morning to stroll around.

The grandfather of 1986 was also fifty years old. The age difference between the two of them was not much different. Then they chatted. During the chat, the old man accidentally said that he had a picture of Zhu Da's "Withered Woods and Birds" in his hand. "It was left over after the death of the old man in the family. In addition to doing errands in Beijing this time, he wanted to sell the painting.

When my grandfather heard the news, he immediately became interested. After another chat, he learned that this old man turned out to be the eldest son of Feng Kanghou, a famous calligraphy and painting seal engraver on Hong Kong Island who died in 1983, and the "Dead Wood to Birds" is Mr. Feng Kanghou. A painting left to his son after his death.

   The old man likes painting and calligraphy very much, so he begged the old man to see the painting.

   In the 1980s, China Land had just gone through the turmoil. Many precious ancient calligraphy and paintings were burned in that turbulent era. Now that the old man has the opportunity to see Zhu Da's paintings, how can he bear it.

   Originally the old man disagreed, but grandpa asked for help, but the old man reluctantly agreed. At the end of the day, my grandfather didn't even go to work, so he followed the old man to the guest house of the Tianqu Municipal Party Committee.

   In fact, at the beginning, my grandpa was a little skeptical of the identity of the old man. After all, when he was a child, grandpa often followed the elders in the family to visit the ghost market of 49 cities. He was very aware of some tricks. As a result, the suspicion in my heart immediately went away as soon as I saw that they lived here.

   At that time, the people who could live in the guest house of the Municipal Party Committee were not ordinary people, let alone the ordinary people, they could not even enter the gate. There were armed policemen standing guard at the gate. This old gentleman can live here, at least there is no problem with his identity.

   In the hotel room, my grandfather saw the "Picture of Birds Coming from Dead Wood".

Because I don’t doubt the identity of the old man in my heart, and the painting is really impeccable, my grandpa looked at it several times and didn’t find anything wrong, so I matched the painting and offered to buy it. Next this picture.

But the price of this painting was quite expensive even in the 1980s. The old man said that grandpa could not afford this painting, and grandpa did not have so much money at that time. After all, even in that era, this painting was the least expensive. It also cost millions of Hong Kong dollars. Grandpa was just an ordinary worker. How could he afford this painting?

   As a result, my grandfather was aroused by the old man~www.readwn.com~ and immediately took off the Hetian jade card that his grandfather had left him.

  According to my grandfather later, that piece of jade is an authentic Hetian jade. Although it is not up to the level of seed jade, it is also an authentic material. And the most important thing is that the jade plaque is the heirloom of his old Li family, passed down from his grandfather's generation, and the jade plaque has been sold for hundreds of years.

  This kind of jade plate from the text plate is extremely valuable, perhaps not worth a million Hong Kong dollars, but it is estimated that it is not much worse.

   In that era, although Hetian jade was also more valuable, the more valuable was the jade on the plate, especially the jade on the plate.

   If it wasn't for Grandpa who really liked that painting, he wouldn't come up with this heirloom.

   This jade tile really touched the old man's heart, so in the end the jade tile was exchanged for this painting.

   If this painting is an authentic work of Zhu Da, then this exchange is considered fair and appropriate, but the problem is that this painting is a fake.

   Grandpa happily took the painting home and appreciated it for several days, but one day he suddenly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. So my grandfather asked an old friend to help look at the painting, but after seeing the painting, the old friend of my grandfather also said something was wrong.

   In the end, my grandfather found the old curator of the Tianqu Museum to help him. The old curator was also a great man in the circle. After checking for a long time, he decided that the painting was a fake.

   The painting itself is very good, and there are no flaws at all. The old curator saw the problem on the drawing paper.

  PS: I would like to bow to thank the 500 for the reward of "Icy Octave".
