Chapter 133

After hearing what Liu said, Liu Qinshu nodded.

Now there are about seven or eight works that are considered to be handed down by Dong Yuan. However, at that time, painters generally did not sign their names. Therefore, the identification of later generations only depends on the judgment of relevant records. Among them, only the painting of river bank is the only one that has been signed.

However, the rocks in the painting of Xi'an in the metropolis use the layer by layer rendering techniques since the Tang Dynasty, instead of using the Pima Cun created by Dong Yuan. This is also the main reason why it has been disputed for so many years whether the painting of Xi'an is Dong Yuan's work.

Now we have found a painting of Xi'an, which uses the Pima Cun technique. Although it can prove that the previous painting of Xi'an was not made by Dong Yuan, we can not completely think that the previous painting of Xi'an must not be made by Dong Yuan. This is precisely because Dong Yuan's work has been handed down to the present, and only this one has been signed.

However, as Mr. Liu said, if you want to prove that the previous painting is really Dong Yuan's work, you must come up with more hard evidence, otherwise it is wishful thinking.

However, even if the previous painting is a copy or imitation, it will not damage its value. After all, its artistic achievement is very high, which is no less than that of the original.

Just like the debate on the authenticity of the preface to the Orchid Pavilion written by Wang Xizhi in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it has gone through a long period of time and there is no agreement among all parties. But the artistic achievement of preface to the Orchid Pavilion is very high. It is not too much to call it "the best running script in the world". On one point, all parties have reached a consensus.

However, compared with Liu Qinshu's doubts about this work, Chu Chen firmly believes that this work must be Dong Yuan's true work, and his ability in estimating the value and judging the age will not deceive him.

"Xiao Chu, you can't say your luck. You can pick up two big leaks when you buy a house. This" river bank map "can be said to be a national treasure level cultural relic. Its value doesn't need to be mentioned. You can pick up the money of such a house like this. I've been playing antiques for so many years. Why haven't I met such a good thing?"

Liu Qinshu said to chuchen enviously that chuchen's good luck really made her speechless. She had never seen such a thing since she was young.

Chu Chen scratched his head and said, "Hey, maybe this is the blessing I accumulated in my previous life."

After hearing the speech, Liu said with a smile: "it seems that Xiao Chu, you have been a good man for several generations. However, Xiao Shu, you have a wrong saying. How can such works be measured by money? Xiao Chu, would you like to exchange it for a villa? "

Chu Chen quickly shook his head and said: "no, even in a good house, I won't change it. House and money are just a part of life, as long as they are enough for my life. Besides the house and money, as long as you work hard, you will earn it sooner or later. But paintings like this can't be seen even if they are met, let alone begged. How can I do such things as picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon? "

Mr. Liu said with a smile: "Xiao Chu said well, Xiao Shu. You should learn more from Xiao Chu's attitude. You are too utilitarian. Everything is measured by money. If you don't change that, you'll never be a collector in the future. "

Hearing this, Liu Qinshu retorted: "Dad, I'm not as bad as you said. You don't know how many collections I have now."

Liu shook his head and said, "do you think you can become a collector if you have more collections? If so, as long as you are rich, you can become a collector. How much do you know about your collection? "

"Let's just say you've been thinking about the leak. Let me tell you a story I heard from my friend."

"Once, my friend was asked to sell a bronze mirror, but he knew something about the bronze mirror of Han and Tang Dynasties, but the one in his hand was from the Jin Dynasty, so he finally helped his friend sell it for 60000 yuan."

"But it wasn't long before the man who bought the mirror sold it to a friend in Beijing for 160000 yuan and made 100000 yuan. A few months later, my friend saw the bronze mirror again at an auction. It was priced at 360000 yuan, and finally sold for 400000 yuan. "

When Liu Qinshu heard this, he sniffed and said, "that's his stupid. Since he doesn't know why he doesn't ask others?"

Liu said with a smile: "yes, Xiaoshu, what you said is really a solution, but have you ever thought about why he would sell it at the price of 60000 yuan?"

Liu Qinshu pondered for a while and replied, "he should have taken the price of bronze mirrors in Han and Tang Dynasties as a reference."

"Yes, he just took it for granted and sold it with reference to the price of the bronze mirror in the Han and Tang Dynasties. I'll ask you again, do you know how much you can pay for the blue and white flower vase you bought in Qianlong official kiln the year before last? "

"This..."

Liu Qinshu frowned and pondered for a while. He hesitated and said, "at that time, I bought 400000, but now there should be 600000, right?"

Mr. Liu shook his head with a smile and said, "look, you still talk about picking up leaks all day long. No, you didn't find them. They found them by others! Xiao Chu, let me test you. Do you know the price of this hexagonal bottle? " At this point, he told Chu Chen the data of the hexagonal bottle.Chu Chen thought for a while and said, "the price should be around 1.18 million."

"Oh? Why do you say that? "

Chuchen said with a smile: "last month, when Hanhai spring was photographed in Beijing, there was a six square bottle, which was similar to that of Aunt Liu. At that time, it was photographed for more than 1.18 million."

"Ah?"

Liu Qinshu exclaimed, and then some unconvinced said: "Dad, I didn't go to Shanghai on business that time. How can I not know the price of my hexagonal bottle?"

Mr. Liu said with a smile: "all day long, you say that you want to pick up a leak. For example, you can buy a treasure worth tens of thousands of yuan or even more at a price of several thousand yuan. The opportunity to pick up a leak is equal for everyone, but you must have enough knowledge and insight to grasp the opportunity to pick up a leak. "

"Like you, you don't even know the value of your own things, and you still want to pick up the leak? You have to say that you have been away on business before, but as long as you have the heart, can't you find the channel to understand the price? Even if you didn't have time at that time, you couldn't understand so many days after you came back? "

"How can you become a qualified collector if you have such attitude towards learning?"

After several questions, Liu Qinshu's expression was greatly embarrassed. His father was right. His attitude towards antiques was too casual. He really failed to live up to his father's long-term teaching.

"Dad, I'm sorry to disappoint you. In fact, I'm too lazy to study antiques in depth."

Old Liu laughs, shakes his head and says, "you are still a little self-conscious. Unfortunately, your elder martial brother only knows how to study knowledge and is too rigid. Although your second elder martial brother is flexible, he puts money first and doesn't know who can inherit my mantle."

At this point, Liu looked at Chu Chen with a smile, which made Chu Chen's heart thump. Is Liu ready to accept me as an apprentice? But if he asked me if I would, how should I answer? Is it a little more euphemistic or a direct promise?

"Little Chu!"

"I..."

Chu Chen is still imagining that Liu is going to accept him as an apprentice. Suddenly, he hears Liu calling him and almost says "I'd like to". Fortunately, he reacts quickly and takes the words back. Otherwise, he will make a fool of himself.

Liu Lao can't help but ask: "Xiao Chu, what do you say?"

Chuchen face slightly red said: "I have a stomachache, I want to go to the bathroom."

With that, before Liu and them answered, they ran out in a hurry. As they ran, they wailed in their hearts. This time, they really made a fool of themselves. Chu Chen, how can you drop the chain at the critical moment? I don't know what Liu and them would think!

Liu's father and daughter could not help laughing when they saw this. They did not expect that Chu Chen, who was always calm in front of them, would have such a time.

After a few minutes, Chu Chen came back calmly. Of course, he was just calm now, but he was very nervous. What he was most afraid of now was that Liu Lao and their impression of him was reduced because of this.

In fact, Chu Chen was totally concerned about chaos. How could they be dissatisfied with him because of such a small matter? On the contrary, they also think that Chu Chen's performance is just like that of young people. In the past, Chu Chen's performance was too mature and lacked the vitality of young people.

After seeing Chu Chen come in, Liu asked him with a smile: "Xiao Chu, are you ok? Do you want Xiao Shu to find some medicine for you?"

Seeing this, Chu Chen was relieved. At the same time, he shook his head and said, "no, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore. Thank you for your concern."

"Ha ha, it's OK. Let me ask you, what are you going to do with this" river bank map "

Chu Chen didn't think much about it, so he replied: "I definitely want to collect it, but I haven't finished the transformation there. Mr. Liu, you have to take the trouble to put the things here first. But it's so valuable that I feel a little uneasy about it for nothing

It's not that this painting of the river bank can't be put in Uncle Wu's place, but it's so valuable that Uncle Wu will have trouble sleeping and eating there. To avoid his worry, it's better to put it in old Liu's place.

As soon as his voice fell, Liu understood Chu Chen's meaning. He said in secret that he didn't really see the wrong person. Xiao Chu didn't own things because they were precious.
