Chapter 40 This painting is more complicated!

While Jiang Yuan and the others were still in shock, Shi Feng had already penetrated into the antique market. He also saw a lot of weird things along the way.

However, although most of these famous antiques are genuine, they already have a price tag, and there is little chance of making money in a short time.

Because the system price is not too different from these market prices.

Shi Feng, who is used to making quick money, naturally looks down on these antiques.

“Huh? There is an auction house here?”

Before he knew it, Shi Feng suddenly came to a small auction site.

The shops here are all open, anyone can come in and visit, but they should not disturb their business.

Shi Feng sat silently in the last row. At this time, above the booth, the host was auctioning a porcelain vase from the Yongzheng period.

As the saying goes, things are rare and expensive. The more antiques in the heyday, many survived. The market price is not too high. On the contrary, those dynasties did not exist for a long time. It’s ridiculously high.

For example, the porcelain vase from the Yongzheng period in front of me, because the Yongzheng reign was too short, there are not many antiques with the imprint of that era. Just a porcelain vase was auctioned for a price of 5 million!

“Five million for the first time!”

“Five million for the second time!”

“Five million for the third time!”

“Okay, deal!”

With the hammer of the auctioneer falling, this antique was auctioned by a boss of Zheng for 5 million.

However, Shi Feng shook his head helplessly.

Although this antique is genuine, the market price is only about 3 million yuan. This boss, Zheng, apparently caught the trap of his opponent, accidentally got on his head under constant bidding and accepted the premium price.

Moreover, the price of antiques in the Qing Dynasty has not risen much in the past two years, and it may be difficult for this antique to sell at a high price.

“Okay, next, we are going to have an ancient painting, I believe everyone is very interested!”

I was stunned, but saw two waiters walking to the booth with a plate. The sexy and graceful female auctioneer took off the red silk on it. She opened an ancient painting slowly and presented it in front of everyone.

As soon as this picture was drawn, there was a cry of exclamation all around.

“This is… bamboo? Could it be the posthumous work of Zheng Banqiao, one of the famous Yangzhou Eight Monsters?”

“Is Zheng Banqiao’s picture of orchids and bamboo? If that’s the case, then it’s a baby!”

“Today is an eye-opener, I didn’t expect to meet such a baby here!”

There were discussions one after another, and everyone seemed very excited.

Because in the past two years, the prices of Zheng Banqiao’s paintings have been rising continuously, and they are scarce items invested and collected by the bosses.

Even Shi Feng, who was sitting at the back, couldn’t help being startled.

Because in his mind, the price of this masterpiece also emerged: 50 million!

I was stunned, but saw the beautiful auctioneer introduced with a smile,

“The bosses are really insightful, yes, this picture is the posthumous work of the famous painter Zheng Banqiao, “Zhu Shilan Hui Tu”.”

“Among the Eight Eccentrics of Yangzhou in the Qing Dynasty, Zheng Banqiao is the most famous. He is good at poetry, writing and painting, and he loves the landscape. He often travels with sorrows. He loves painting bamboo, orchids and stones most, and he is dignified and energetic.”

“The calligraphy is a self-created six-and-a-half-divided calligraphy, and half-and-half in the official script. It is second to none in terms of the status of painting history and the influence of later generations!”

The beautiful voice of the beautiful auctioneer rang out. These are some detailed introductions about Zheng Banqiao and his works, which are slightly heard by the bosses present.

“Well, I think everyone also knows Zheng Banqiao. We don’t say much, let’s get to the topic!”

After a brief introduction, the beauty auctioneer invited an old gentleman to the platform.

“This is Mr. Lin, the collector of our painting. His auction price starts at 5 million!”

“five million……”

Everyone took a deep breath. The value of this painting starts at 5 million yuan, which is much more expensive than the porcelain vase just now.

But immediately there was someone who said,

“Nowadays, Zheng Banqiao’s masterpieces are basically between 10 million and 50 million. The price is normal!”

Everyone nodded involuntarily. Although it was a starting price of five million, the bidding was up for a while, but the price was more than that.

“Well, now, we have Mr. Sun Jiankun, an ancient painting expert, to evaluate and analyze for everyone!”

The beauty auctioneer smiled gracefully and invited the old man to a seat next to him, while another old gentleman also walked to the booth with a cane.

Sun Jiankun himself is a famous painter of landscape painting, because he has studied ancient paintings all the time, and he is very prestigious in this respect, especially the ancient paintings of the Ming and Qing dynasties, which is almost no problem for him.

But I saw Mr. Sun Jiankun, holding a magnifying glass, and began to look back and forth on this ancient painting.

His eyes lit up at first, and then he frowned without saying a word, his expression reaction was very complicated.

Finally, he put down the magnifying glass, took a deep breath, and looked at the crowd.

“This painting is more complicated!”

He glanced at the collector and said in a deep voice,

“This painting is true and not true.”

“What does this mean?”

As soon as this was said, everyone was startled, even the collector frowned and said excitedly,

“Lao Sun, what do you mean by this? This painting has been handed down from generation to generation by our Lin family. There can be no fake!”

Old Lin’s face suddenly became gloomy.

If it weren’t for their Lin family’s business problems, he would definitely not auction off the treasures passed down by the ancestors.

It’s just that he never expected that this painting would be so evaluated by Sun Jiankun.

“Old Lin Shaoan, please listen to me!”

Sun Jiankun smiled slightly and continued to analyze,

“This painting is indeed made by Zheng Banqiao. The reason I say he is real is for this reason. The main part of the bamboo and orchid in this painting was made by Zheng Banqiao!”

Speaking of this, he changed his mind, and in the eyes of everyone’s doubts, he continued,

“The reason why he is not real is that the paper quality of this painting is not from the time of Zheng Banqiao, but it should be damaged later and restored by someone.”

As soon as this was said, the audience was shocked.



The preservation and inheritance of antiquities is indeed very dangerous. After all, there have been many turbulences in the history of China, and these treasures appear to be very fragile when encountered in troubled times. This is also the reason why the value of antiques is so high.

It is not easy to survive from ancient times to the present!



Sun Jiankun smiled helplessly,

“If I guess it’s correct, this should be Zheng Banqiao’s pinnacle of “Bamboo Stone Orchid Huitu”. If the entire painting is complete, it will be worth at least 35 million. It is a pity, because the other parts have been destroyed, although they were destroyed. Repair, but the value is almost ten million!”

Sun Jiankun’s words are full of regret.

As an expert in ancient paintings and a master of landscape painting, it is inevitable to be embarrassed to see such changes in the posthumous works of the famous poet and painter Zheng Banqiao.
