Chapter 16: Lang Shining's "Green" (Part 1)

After the secret of the treasure chest compartment was untied, Dong Tianyue did not rush to tell his grandfather, but wrote the matter in a sealed diary to prevent his family from following any traces of emergencies in the future.

In the next two days, Dong Tianyue was playing with his grandfather. The old man came to the new house that Dong Tianyue bought and made an assessment of his carvings, calligraphy, paintings, collections and appreciation. He was very pleased and confirmed that his appraisal level was at the third level, which is the advanced level of "integration". The old man also looked at the green mugwort seal that Dong Tianyue bought in the antique city, nodded repeatedly, saying that he had found a big gap.

After two days in Wenzhou, the old man received a call from his home saying that a mysterious collector was visiting him and told him to rush back. Dong Tianyue, Liang Hua, Gao Yide and his son reluctantly sent the old man onto the plane.

The day the old man left, Mu Xiyan happened to come back.

That morning, the Yide Auction House ushered in a meaningful appraisal of calligraphy and paintings. This appraisal was the first time that Dong Tianyue showed off his skills in public.

At 8:30 in the morning, the general manager's office was in a serious atmosphere. Several appraisers sat around the long conference table, and a painting was placed in the middle.

The door opened and a middle-aged man in his fifties came in. He was wearing a white plaid shirt, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and looked anxious.

"Manager Hua!" Everyone stood up and greeted the middle-aged man respectfully.

"How is the identification result?" Manager Hua walked to the manager's seat and sat down, scanned everyone's faces, and then stared at the painting spread out on the table with deep eyes.

"There is still controversy." Gui Yumeng, the calligraphy and painting manager on the left, said. This antique belongs to the calligraphy and painting category, and belongs to Gui Yumeng.

"What, is it really possible to be a high imitation painting?" Manager Hua said with an ugly face.

"We have been arguing for more than an hour, and no one can convince anyone!" Gui Yumeng said.

"This painting is very important, and it is related to the reputation of the art and ethics auction. There must be no mistakes. I think it's better to wait for Mu Xiyan to come. Why hasn't she arrived yet?" Manager Hua said anxiously.

"She got off the plane at 7 o'clock, she went back and washed up and then came." Gui Yubeng said.

"Mu Xiyan!"

When she mentioned Mu Xiyan's name, Gui Yumeng felt sour, this woman she was jealous and had to admire.

Mu Xiyan is a national cultural relics appraisal appraisal and valuator of level 8. She is now a part-time job in art and ethics, helping with the appraisal of spring and autumn auctions. She graduated from the American Gem Academy and obtained a doctorate degree. Her cultural relics and gem identification skills are very exquisite. It can be said that Mu Xiyan is one of the top appraisers in Wenhua City. Especially in the appraisal of antique calligraphy and paintings and gemstones, her skills are amazing.

What's even more amazing is that such a person with superb identification is only twenty-five years old and very beautiful. His tall figure, snow-white skin, melon-shaped face, apricot-core eyes, curved eyebrows, small nose, slightly upturned lips, and convex and convex figure make all men fall in love with it!

Mu Xiyan is very arrogant, rarely speaks on weekdays, and is serious in work. In Gui Yumeng's eyes, Mu Xiyan is a very cold person, and her assistant Su Ziyun is the same. Birds of a feather flock together.

Half an hour later, Mu Xiyan finally came. Her beauty and charm shocked the audience, so no one dared to blame her for being late. Following her was her assistant Su Ziyun.

"Xiyan, you're finally here! I'll ask you for this painting. He is Lang Shining's work. The chairman called and repeatedly asked you to call me and ask you to come and take a look. You must not make any mistakes!" Manager Hua stood up and smiled.

"I'll do my best." Mu Xiyan said coldly.

Mu Xiyan sat down next to Gui Yumeng, took the painting in front of her, and began to appraise. The other appraisers watched quietly, waiting for her appraisal results to come out.

Mu Xiyan looked carefully at the work of Lang Shining. The painting was painted with a puppy under the flower stone. The puppy in the painting had a strong realistic color, while the mountain and stone were inclined to traditional Chinese painting techniques. The overall feeling was indeed Lang Shining's style, which combines Chinese and Western styles. At the top of the painting, the upper left and the lower right, there were "Qianlong Imperial Treasure" and the seals of Emperor Jiaqing and Sanxitang. In the next line of regular characters, it says: "I am painting by Lang Shining."

"Is it really Lang Shining?" Mu Xiyan sighed in her heart.

The Autumn Auction of Zhongjia in Beijing in 2008 was sold at the "Yongzheng Fun Picture of the Summer Palace in December" for 158.4 million yuan, and the rest of his famous works were sold at a price of more than 10 million yuan.

Lang Shining liked to draw dogs and animals. He once used to be "models" for various famous dogs that paid tribute to the emperor. He drew more than a dozen dog pictures for "Ten Horses Pictures". If this "Qinghun" was an authentic work, it would be priceless!

Mu Xiyan certified and appreciated paper, style, brushwork, signature, inscriptions, and inscriptions. She looked through the appraisal opinions of several appraisers. Gui Yumeng, who was beside her, said, "Teacher Gui, how can you use your nails to carve seals? If this is the original work, wouldn't it damage the perfection of the work!"

"Oh, I had no choice but to do that. Now I know there is no problem with the seal." Gui Yumeng said embarrassedly. In order to identify the authenticity and destroy the original appearance of the original work, it is actually a taboo for the identification masters.

Mu Xiyan first used a high-power magnifying glass to view it, and then used the microscope handed over by Su Muyan to magnify it 40 times to aim at the blank space of the painting. Under the microscope, the patterns displayed on the paper are in the shape of a "grid".

"The style is right, the brushwork is fine. The paper is old, the ink is old, the ink is also correct, and the seals are fine. There are no problems with the ink jet printing ink dots in the blank space, but I always feel something is wrong. What's going on?" Mu Xiyan said in confusion.

Everyone looked at each other. It seemed that the beautiful connoisseurs also encountered difficulties! No wonder, the two appraisers specializing in calligraphy and painting in the appraisal department, one of whom was the chief appraiser of art ethics, and several appraisers in the calligraphy and painting team, some of which were true and false, and they were constantly arguing. If this painting was so easy to identify, then they would all be a pampered bag.

"Manager, I need some time." Mu Xiyan sat in the chair, holding her face and pondered.

"No problem, we can wait!" Manager Hua said worriedly.

Assistant Su Ziyun took out a color album of Lang Shining from his work bag, put them in front of Mu Xiyan for her to spare, and sat aside to help compare and taste. An hour later, Su Ziyun frowned and said, "Sister Yan, I still can't find any flaws!"

Mu Xi nodded helplessly and frowned: "Well, why is this happening? I clearly feel something is wrong, why can't I find evidence!"

Gui Yumeng saw that Mu Xiyan had been figuring it for a long time but could not identify the authenticity, so she was secretly happy: "Hmph, aren't you capable? You can't identify it, it's up to you this time to see how you end!"

Manager Hua said nervously: "Teacher Mu, what's going on? Even you can't confirm the authenticity?"

The company paid 4 million yuan for this painting, and paid 1.8 million yuan alone. If it was fake, it would be a big loss. If it was a genuine work, it would be fine if it was a tens of millions of yuan. The commission alone would be millions!

Mu Xiyan didn't say anything and looked at the painting again. This time she was really helpless. This was something she had never encountered before. The painting seemed to be right in all aspects, but there was a little bit of a problem!

strangeness!

Manager Hua looked at Mu Xiyan with frowning nervously, but Mu Xiyan didn't say a word, almost everyone looked at Mu Xiyan. Her face felt a little hot, and it seemed a little difficult to get off the stage. She is a beautiful woman with a high opinion of herself, and this is the first time she has encountered an appraisal scene that is difficult to make a conclusion.

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open, and a young man came in, wearing a casual outfit, short hair, and dark eyes looking inside.

"Who are you? How did you come in? Where is the security guard?" Manager Hua said unhappy.

"He is the newcomer to our calligraphy and painting group." Gui Yubeng said, then glared at Dong Tianyue fiercely, meaning why did he come?

Dong Tianyue was not deliberately late, he delayed his sending the old man to the airport. He obviously didn't expect that there were so many people in the manager's office, and Manager Hua was also inside. Seeing that everyone was looking at him with a fool, Dong Tianyue looked a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

"Your manager is in a meeting. If you have any questions, please come to her in the afternoon." Manager Hua said. Manager Hua thought Dong Tianyue was here to find Gui Yumeng, and the new one really doesn't understand the rules!

Seeing that Dong Tianyue seemed to have no intention of leaving, Manager Hua added: "Teacher Mu is conducting an appraisal of antique calligraphy and paintings, and needs to be quiet. There is no matter to you here, you can go out!"

Seeing the manager's tone of being serious and trying to drive him away, Dong Tianyue had to do something. Since he was a child, who had been drinking with him like this? He wanted to say directly that it was specially approved by his senior brother Gao Yide, but when he first arrived, Manager Hua scolded him like this, and he felt a little embarrassed and was displeased. How could the Dong family be looked down upon? If you don't show off your skills, you really don't take me seriously?

Dong Tianyue ignored the manager's words, pretended to be careless and glanced at the painting on the table, looked at Mu Xiyan and smiled: "I'm sure no matter what method you use, you can't identify the authenticity of the painting!"

"What do you know? Get out for me!" Manager Hua was a little angry. How dare this person ignore my order? Moreover, this is a 4 million calligraphy and painting. Why is it your turn to be a new employee who is talking nonsense? What if he offended Miss Mu?

"Do you have a way?" Mu Xiyan said coldly, looking at Dong Tianyue with contempt. Dong Tianyue was the first man who dared to talk to her like this.

In the past, when it comes to identification skills, which man didn’t flatter her Mu Xiyan? But today, just such a newcomer dared to question her identification skills? He said that no matter what method you use, he could not identify the authenticity of the painting. How hurtful it is?

"Of course I have a way, it's just Lang Shining's work!" Dong Tianyue still ignored Manager Hua, stood still from a distance, and glanced at him, as if he didn't even see the painting on the table clearly, and knew it was Lang Shining's. His words surprised everyone, especially Mu Xiyan.

"Do you actually know Lang Shining? You know painting too? Okay, then you might as well come and take a look." Mu Xiyan said in surprise, and also wanted to see if Dong Tianyue really understood it?

"You can't do this randomly. A newcomer knows what paintings he has. It's amazing if he breaks them!" Manager Hua said worriedly.

Gui Yumeng said: "Manager, it's okay if you just say a few words to him."
