Chapter 17: Lang Shining's "Green" (Part 2)
Dong Tianyue still didn't answer Manager Hua directly, nor was he angry, but only smiled gratefully at Gui Yumeng.
There is never a shortage of people in this world who look down on others. There is no need to make a good mood because of one or two of their words. However, the master said that sometimes you should be low-key, and sometimes you should be high-key. If someone looks down on you, you need to prove your ability in a high-key manner, and even slap him in the mouth, so that he knows how to respect people who are truly capable! Otherwise, people would think you are easy to bully! This is the glory of being a warrior.
What's more, the people of the Dong family cannot be looked down upon by others, especially in the appreciation of antiques. This is the last bit of dignity of the hermit family as a skill inheritance!
Dong Tianyue protested against Manager Hua's rudeness with an ignorant look, and looked at Mu Xiyan with a smile, thinking that this woman is so beautiful and can compete with Jing'er.
"Why are you looking at me? Why don't you say it?" Mu Xiyan turned around and looked at Dong Tianyue, sighing that he was not afraid of Manager Hua, and was a little surprised. Moreover, she found that Dong Tianyue was quite handsome, and her eyes were not as naked as other men.
"Haha, OK." Dong Tianyue nodded and smiled. Although he was standing and talking, Dong Tianyue believed that when he finished speaking, the manager would invite him to take his seat. He was still a little confident about this.
At this time, the room was silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on Dong Tianyue, and many people were looking forward to him making a fool of themselves. However, Dong Tianyue still said.
"Lang Shining is an Italian native. He was born in Milan. In the 54th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, he entered the palace and entered the Ruyi Pavilion and became a palace painter. He served in the Kang, Yong and Qianlong dynasties. Later, he became the third rank and was engaged in painting in China for more than 50 years. People who do not pay attention to art and calligraphy may not be familiar with Lang Shining, but the Western Buildings of the Old Summer Palace he participated in designing are well known to everyone!"
As soon as this said, it was beyond everyone's expectations. They looked at each other and thought to themselves that this kid had read some books.
"Oh, you guys have a little ink in your stomach. Come in and say, but you can't touch the paintings randomly. If you break them, you can't afford to compensate!" Manager Hua was also stunned by Dong Tianyue. Unexpectedly, a newcomer to a calligraphy and painting group also knew calligraphy and painting. Let's see how he talked about the words later, and whether he really knew calligraphy and painting identification? If he was talking nonsense, it wouldn't be too late to knock it out.
"What identification method are you planning? Do you need a microscope?" Mu Xiyan was stunned at first, and confirmed that Dong Tianyue probably really knew how to identify calligraphy and paintings, so she asked tentatively.
Dong Tianyue stood there and smiled and said, "In front of real high imitation pictures, scientific instruments may not be scientific. I don't need a magnifying glass or a microscope. I can tell the truth with my naked eyes."
His words also make sense. If the imitation paper is also old, what else can scientific instruments identify? But with that, other veteran appraisers will not feel very comfortable when they say these old words from a young man.
"No magnifying glass, nor microscope, just a pair of eyes can tell the truth or falsehood?" Mu Xiyan said in surprise. With the naked eye alone, this is OK for works that are worse than fake or "fake at first glance". When encountering high-quality imitation works, who dares to say that a scientific instrument is not needed?
"What a big tone!" An old man's voice suddenly sounded, and the explosion sound shot out like a bursting bullet, with an unquestionable momentum.
Dong Tianyue's unmodest words aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone, and this old man was the most important. In fact, Dong Tianyue did not have this personality, but Manager Hua's injury to his dignity and was stimulated.
"You guys are so big! Chinese calligraphy and painting identification has always been regarded as the supreme emperor of Xie Bei and Xu, and even the two old men dare not be so arrogant! Why are you, a junior, so ignorant!" The old man with a gray beard said angrily, thinking that the eighth floor that can speak such ignorant words is a stick.
This old man is the chief appraiser of the Arts and Ethics Auction House, and people respectfully call him Mr. Jin. In the Wenzhou antique circle, except for Mu Xiyan, Mr. Jin is the most authoritative.
"Don't there be times when the so-called "Xiang and Bei Xu" are inconsistent? For example, in Xu Xi's "Snow Bamboo Picture", Xie Zhiliu and Xu Bangda had differences. The boy is not arrogant, he is just a straightforward and tells the truth!" Dong Tianyue said neither humble nor arrogant.
Master Jin wants to use his momentum to suppress others, but this is not good for others, but Dong Tianyue. In terms of cultivation and Taoism, Master Jin and the old men Dong Tianyue know are not one or two levels different! Dong Tianyue is not a child who has never seen the world.
Dong Tianyue glanced at the old man, oh, what a pair of sharp hawk eyes. This old man is a little younger than his grandfather, but his stinky airs are not small at all.
"Oh, you kid knows Xie Zhiliu and Xu Bangda, you underestimate you? But you said you don't need a magnifying glass or a microscope. You can tell the truth with your naked eyes. Are you bragging? I have been engaged in antique identification for more than 30 years, but I have never seen you so crazy. I want to see what wonderful methods you have to identify the authenticity of this "Qinghuo"." Mr. Jin sneered.
Mu Xiyan is enough to be disgusted by Master Jin. Now such a young man appears? If this kid makes a name for himself today, the title of chief appraiser will be really worthy of his reputation.
"Haha, Master Jin, I think this kid is crazy about being in the eighth floor, and he looks so arrogant. He is not humble at all in front of his seniors. He is a young man who has never seen the world. Don't think that if you know the story of Lang Shining, you really treat yourself as an appraiser. Who do you know about the ones you know? Besides, do you have a certificate of senior appraiser? Take it out and take a look!" Master Jin's assistant Wang Fatty Zi laughed.
Everyone looked at Dong Tianyue like a show, but I wonder if he could come up with the senior appraiser certificate?
In the antique world, antique appraisers are also divided into grades, including primary, intermediate, advanced, expert, and master. If you haven't obtained the intermediate antique appraiser certificate, you are embarrassed to say that you are an antique appraiser.
Unfortunately, Dong Tianyue does not have a senior appraiser certificate, and even a junior one. Because he never felt that he needed that thing. The Dong family has its own antique appraisal level system.
"I don't." Dong Tianyue said lightly.
"Haha, you're so crazy that you haven't even obtained the senior appraiser certificate? If you get it, you won't walk sideways?" the fat man sneered.
"That's right, young people should be modest! Since there is no high appraiser certificate, don't talk big. Like me, there is only an intermediate appraiser certificate. I just came with a learning attitude. What's your name? Oh, yes, it's Dong Tianyue. I want to remind you that if you can't tell me why today, hum!" A handsome guy with a handsome face said coldly. Dong Tianyue knew this person, Kong Zehui from the calligraphy and painting department, and the one who went to work to find fault on the first day was also an appraiser.
Kong Zehui thought to himself: Boy, I won’t punish you today! I dare not buy my account that day, and I ran here to pretend to be a B. The ignorant young man came to find a abuser, stupid B!
Dong Tianyue also saw Kong Zehui. Isn’t this the one who was looking for trouble with him in the office a few days ago? At that time, this child seemed to want to give himself a warning? Dong Tianyue was usually too lazy to pay attention to him. On this occasion, Dong Tianyue had to take care of Gui Yumeng’s face and try to restrain himself. But don’t mess with me, no one can save you if you mess with me!
"Haha, Kong Zehui, right? I can't tell you why, so what? Do you ask the manager to fire me? Or do you fire me? I remember you are not the manager of the calligraphy and painting department, right?" Dong Tianyue looked at Kong Zehui and retorted him, and Kong Zehui was angry and sighed that Dong Tianyue was not afraid of my momentum, and he dared to say something, and there was something in his words? Okay, Damn, I will force you away in the future!
"Cao, wait a moment if your identification fails, see how I beat the dog in the water. I ask Manager Hua to sweep you out of the house!" Kong Zehui said secretly.
"Hmph, your ability is not what you say!" Kong Zehui snorted coldly.
"Haha, I never said that I am a capable person. And I admit that I do not have a certificate of a senior appraiser, not even a junior one! But I have a pair of wise eyes and can still identify the authenticity of this painting!" Dong Tianyue smiled proudly, without any panic at all. His words sounded like a joke to experts.
"What? What just he said? He didn't even have a junior appraiser certificate? Then how did he get into the calligraphy and painting department?" The appraisers present whispered, pointing fingers, and looked down on Dong Tianyue more and more.
A person who doesn’t even have a junior appraiser certificate dares to come to a place where there are many experts to say something?
Gui Yumeng glanced at Manager Hua awkwardly and nodded at him with a profound meaning. Manager Hua suddenly lit up his eyes, and he seemed to guess something in his heart. Since he had no certificate, he had also entered the calligraphy and painting department. Could it be that? Manager Hua still understands the word "human favor" in this world.
The disdain and mocking of the crowd did not anger Dong Tianyue, but instead showed his calm and good psychological quality. Dong Tianyue thought to himself that without an appraiser certificate does not mean that I am just a wild path. Hehe, I don’t know who has never seen the world. Just laugh at me. Only by laughing until the end is considered a skill. I will surprise you later!
