Chapter 474

Chuchen nodded with a smile and said, "I don't know if Cao can always give up love?"

"Of course, of course! Let's talk about the details later!... "

At this point, he asked the waiter to put the painting away and take it to his office. Then he politely took Chu Chen to his office.

Cao Hui's expression shocked the waiter. However, she knew that this painting was not for sale. No matter who opened it, he had never sold it. Cao Hui's ability was very strong. In her eyes, she could not see anyone dare to show his face to Cao Hui because of this.

But even so, as soon as the young man opened his mouth, his boss immediately agreed not to say it, and it seemed that he wanted to give it away for nothing. This really subverted her understanding, and at the same time, he was constantly guessing Chu Chen's identity

Cao Hui took Chu Chen to his office, poured a cup of tea for him, and then took out two red invitation cards.

"Chu Shao, this is an invitation for you and Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao said that you should just bring this one to him." Cao Hui said politely.

Chu Chen opened the invitation and looked at it. The exchange meeting was held on the evening of the 29th, and the place was in a villa in Xiangjiang. When he closed the invitation, he put it in his bag and asked, "Mr. Cao, when shall we start?"

She Hui was a little nervous and said, "this Chu Shao, I have something to do with my family recently. I can't leave until the 26th. I'm sorry! "

When he said this, Cao Hui felt that his heart was dripping blood. It was such a good chance to climb up to the top. As a result, Shengsheng was destroyed by the black sheep of his family. Thinking about it, he had an impulse to beat his wife.

However, Cao Hui only dares to think about it like this. He certainly dares not to put it into action, and this time it is his own problem.

In fact, the reason is simple. It's all because his wife found out that he raised Xiaomi a few days ago. As a result, his family was turned upside down. Finally, he managed to pacify his wife. Of course, he had to attach some conditions. Traveling abroad is one of them.

Cao Hui is not willing to accept this one, but he can't agree. In the final analysis, all he has now depends on his father-in-law. In case of divorce, all he has now will be in vain.

Chu Chen was going to take Wu Ke to Xiangjiang for a tour. He would not have any opinions about it, so he waved his hand and said, "it doesn't matter. We'll just call at that time. By the way, I also want to ask, can this invitation take other people?"

Seeing that Chu Chen didn't mind, Cao Hui was immediately relieved. Then he said, "yes, one invitation can take two people."

Chu Chen nodded, so it's OK. Don't take Wu Ke with him. As a result, Wu can't go in. That's embarrassing.

A moment later, the waiter came in with a painting and calligraphy box in his hand, and then put it in front of Chu Chen according to Cao Hui's instructions.

"Chu Shao, you can see the authenticity of this painting first." With that, Cao Hui made an invitation.

Chu Chen was not polite either. He put on his gloves and then took out the paintings in the brocade box. After that, he carefully appreciated and identified them.

Therefore, Chu Chen had already counted the painting in advance. Next, he did not spend much time to prove that it was really a genuine one, and it was also a masterpiece created by Wudan.

Although Chu Chen's painting is still in the market, it's not a good one.

"Chu Shao, how about this painting?" When Chu Chen put away his tools, Cao Hui quickly asked.

Chu Chen replied: "the painting is really good. It suits my heart. I don't know what the price of this painting is?"

Cao Hui thought about it. He didn't know much about Chu Chen's character, so it's really hard to drive the price. If the other party is greedy, it will definitely cause the other party's dissatisfaction if it's too high, but if the other party keeps clean, it won't work if it's too low.

At last, Cao Hui thought about it and decided to lower it. If Chu Chen was not satisfied with it, it would be easier to remedy it. So he said with a smile, "Chu Shao, if you can come today, the shop will be prosperous. This painting is 60000. What do you think?"

Chuchen chuckled. He understood what Cao Hui was thinking. He waved his hand and said, "Mr. Cao, let's calculate according to the market price. Otherwise, I'll be embarrassed to come next time."

Listen to Chu Chen say so, Cao Hui quickly said: "Chu Shao, if according to the market price, it is too shengfen, to be honest with you, I spent 5000 yuan to collect this painting, 60000 yuan I have made a lot of money."

"You can't say that." Chuchen said with a smile: "we don't have to pay the price we bought. You're low. If someone loses money, what's the price? Well, you can give me a real price! "Cao Hui turned his eyes and then said, "Chu Shao, how about this? I still have two paintings of Ming Dynasty. If you are interested, I can show them to you. We'll talk about the money later. What do you think?"

In this regard, Chu Chen of course said that there is no problem, good things will not be idle, but if Cao Hui must transfer things to him at a cheap price, he will certainly not accept it. After all, if Cao Hui has something to ask him, he will definitely be affected by it.

After a while, Cao Hui took out the two works he said and carefully placed them in front of Chu Chen. Then he introduced them to Chu Chen. One of the two works is Zhu Yunming's eight cursive poems in autumn, and the other is Lu Ming's picture of plum blossom and golden pheasant.

When Chu Chen heard that it was Zhu Yunming's cursive script, he immediately became interested in this calligraphy work.

Maybe you are not familiar with the name Zhu Yunming, but if you change it to another name Zhu Zhishan, you should know who it is.

As one of the four talents in Jiangnan, Zhu Zhishan is highly praised for his ability of poetry and calligraphy, especially for his wild grass. It has been said that "the paintings of Tang Bohu and the characters of Zhu Zhishan". Therefore, when Chu Chen learned about Zhu Zhishan's cursive script, he couldn't wait to unfold the scroll slowly.

However, when this cursive work was displayed in front of Chu Chen, he couldn't help frowning. This calligraphy work gave him a very strange feeling. The style of the characters was really like Zhu Zhishan's, but there was a lack of verve in it.

This point may not be felt by those who have not carefully appreciated Zhu Zhishan's works, but it is clear to Chu Chen, who has enjoyed two authentic works of Zhu Zhishan in Liu Laona. As a result, he immediately realized that this work is likely to be a fake.

Of course, the identification of antiques, one is one, two is two, it is not necessarily to say that the feeling is wrong, a work is judged as a fake. So Chu Chen directly took out the magnifying glass and began to observe carefully.

Cao Hui has a good look. Although he doesn't see any difference from Chu Chen's face, Chu Chen's solemn look makes him feel a little wrong, which makes him nervous immediately. You know, he spent two million to buy this work. If it's a fake, it's a heavy loss.

After more than 20 minutes, Chu Chen put down his magnifying glass. Seeing this, Cao Hui quickly asked:

"Chu Shao, is there something wrong with this cursive work of Zhu Zhishan?"

Chu Chen didn't say anything nonsense. He handed the magnifying glass to Cao Hui and said, "Mr. Cao, look at the four words" Kui, Bo, scale and Ci "above."

Cao Hui took the magnifying glass and looked at it carefully. At first, he didn't see anything unusual. However, after a few more eyes, he was surprised. Finally, he was confused.

After a long time, Cao Hui came back to himself and said with a bitter smile, "thank you, Chu Shao, for your reminding, but do you think it's an accident?"

"What do you think? And these four words are not the only ones in this work. Look at these words, too. " Chu Chen asked in a rhetorical question, and then pointed out a few words.

Cao Hui quickly went forward to observe one by one, and finally had to smile bitterly and said, "it's true, but how can this work be a fake? It's clear that the money recognition and the bell seal are also right!"

It turns out that although this work does look like that, some of the words in it are probably not written properly by the writer. If you look carefully, you can see that there are traces of copying and mending, so it seems unnatural. If this work is really Zhu Zhishan's work, it certainly won't happen.

Some people may say, this is not necessarily, after all, in ordinary life, writing mistakes are also very normal things.

But don't forget that Zhu Zhishan is a great calligrapher. From the perspective of Title Recognition, this work was written in 1523. At this time, he was 63 years old, and his calligraphy was very mature. How could there be so many words in a work that were not written in place? It's a very common thing that people don't know.

Chu Chen explained: "Mr. Cao, you should know that Zhu Zhishan has many fake works, among which Wu Yingmao, his grandson, is the most similar to him in learning his characters, which can be confused with the real, even if he is an expert. I think this work is probably Wu Yingmao's work, and it is possible to leave a real seal! As for money recognition, I think it's still a question mark. "

Cao Hui has been engaged in painting and calligraphy business for a long time. Of course, he does not know Wu Yingmao. Therefore, when he heard the name, he did not know what to say except with a bitter smile.
