    "Since we all have testified, we have to ask Mr. Zhou how much the painting was paid for?" Wang Chao, who was watching, had a good relationship with Zhou Xia. At this time, he quickly asked Zhou Nanming. Only he could say this easily.  .  The meaning of his words is also very obvious. Tell the price first, so that Zhou Nanming will not regret it later, or if the value of the painting is high, he will simply trick Zhou Xia and say that he received it at a high price.

    ¡°Wang Chao is just a small clerk anyway. It would be too shameful for Zhou Nanming to argue with him. Therefore, he is the most suitable person to do this.

    Zhou Nanming had already said before that the price he received was not high. At this time, he said it, "It's not worth mentioning, it's only 10,000 yuan."

    "Your sister! She is indeed a rich person. She doesn't take 10,000 yuan seriously at all. She buys a painting that she is not sure about and uses it to torment others." Wang Chao cursed secretly in his heart. He would only hate it now.  Zhou Xia is too kind. If he wants to buy whatever he wants at the original price, he can give it to him. Anyway, he has money and doesn¡¯t care about such a small amount of money.

    "Well, ten thousand yuan. We all heard clearly, Mr. Zhou, please take out the painting!" Wang Chao said. He saw that Zhou Xia was a sure-profit business, and the worst outcome was that the appraisal was not accurate.  But Wang Chao felt that this would not affect Zhou Xia's status in the company and Liu Yuqing's heart. After all, calligraphy and painting were not what he was good at.

    Zhou Nanming smiled and unfolded the painting. Wang Chao stretched out his head to look at the bell seal and the inscription, and immediately shouted softly, "Wow, Qiu Ying's painting!"

    Qiu Ying, whose courtesy name is Shifu,

    Next to him, Zhang Jie murmured, "It would be better if it belonged to Tang Bohu!"

    Wang Chao whispered, "I think you have watched too much of Mr. Xing's "Tang Bo Hu Spots Autumn Fragrance". Do you want to come up with a aria that everyone calls "My Romantic and Invincible Overlord Gun"!"

    Zhang Jie only stared at him but did not dare to say anything. It would be very bad to leave a bad impression on his boss.

    Over there, Zhou Xia has already started to do the appraisal. He is still doing the same old thing. He will first do the appraisal based on the material of the silk paper to see if there are any traces of artificial aging.

    The frame of Qiu Ying's Qiu Mountain Hunting Picture is not the original one, because Zhou Xia did not see many traces of ink on it, and the material is obviously different from that of the original painting itself.  Modern paper is also relatively poorly framed.  According to the results of Zhou Xia's appraisal, the painting took no more than ten years to frame.

    Although the mounting does not explain the problem, the order will also affect everyone's judgment of the painting. After all, it is better to leave it intact.

    Zhou Xia mainly looked at the age of the silk paper of the painting. Contrary to the poor mounting, the painting itself did not show many flaws in the material.  Regardless of the material, color, and slight traces of improper preservation, Zhou Xia felt that it was an old silk paper and definitely not the effect that new imitation paper could produce.

    Naturally, the paper quality cannot be completely used as a criterion for judgment. However, if it is determined that the paper quality is from a recent era, then the painting will naturally be fake without any suspense.

    Zhou Xia knows this. When appraising antique calligraphy and paintings, he must use this elimination method.  Generally speaking, if everything is true in other aspects, but false in one aspect, it can almost be judged as false, and experienced experts will not do it easily.

    There was no problem with the material, and he had to enter the stage of appreciating calligraphy and painting. Zhou Xia regarded this as the best way to improve himself, so he carefully studied it and felt the beauty of art contained in it, as well as the painter's state of mind at that time. He wanted to  various emotions expressed.

    This aspect has always been Zhou Xia's weakness, but he is also working hard to improve, otherwise, it may become the biggest obstacle on his way forward.

    This picture of hunting in the Qiu Mountains, stamped "Qiu Yingshi's father" and "Qiu Yingshi's father", has bright colors, vivid characters, and even the fleeing animals, and the artistic conception is quite good.

    But Zhou Xia also discovered a big loophole. Qiu Ying¡¯s name and bell seal were fine, but the problem lay in the inscription and postscript next to it.

    The person who wrote the inscription and postscript was Wen Zhengming.

    Qiu Ying was born as a craftsman and worked as a lacquer worker in his early years. He was famous for his painting, but his literary quality and calligraphy were inferior. Therefore, Qiu Ying rarely wrote inscriptions and postscripts, only the inscriptions.  Qiu Ying and Wen Zhengming had a good relationship. Many of Qiu Ying's paintings were inscribed and postscripted by Wen Zhengming. This can be considered a selling point.

    But when Zhou Xia looked at Wen Zhengming¡¯s inscription and postscript on this picture of hunting in Qiu Mountain, he always felt something was wrong.  It didn't match the style of Wen Zhengming's authentic calligraphy that he had seen before at Tiandi Auction Company. He felt that the copying was not in place, and it was good at what he did but not his spirit.  Moreover, the bell seal signed by Wen Zhengming was slightly different from the genuine Wen Zhengming he had seen.

    Zhou Xia took a step back, distanced herself, and savored it for a while  I feel more and more that there is a big problem, because the entire Qiushan hunting map is relatively open and atmospheric, and the characters, horses and wild animals in Qiushan are vividly represented.  However, the space left for Wen Zhengming's inscriptions and postscripts is particularly narrow. It does not seem that it was specially set aside for Wen Zhengming to inscribe and postscripts, but rather it seems that later generations reluctantly included them in order to forge.

    After this, Zhou Xia can basically conclude that this is a fake postscript.

    However, the identification of this as a fake postscript does not mean that the Qiushan Hunting is a fake. It may also be that a later collector, after obtaining the genuine article, pretended to be Wen Zhengming in order to add greater interest and collection value to the painting.  The person who wrote the inscription for this painting.

    Although it is difficult to imitate Wen Zhengming due to lack of writing power, it will inevitably give people the feeling of superfluous and make people doubt the authenticity of this painting.

    But if the painting itself was really made by Qiu Ying, it can be explained completely.

    Zhou Xia is now trapped in such a problem.

    He frowned and thought to himself, I am afraid this is also a point of confusion for Zhou Nanming.  According to common sense, if it is confirmed that this is a fake postscript, it can basically be concluded that it is a fake.

    But judging from the quality of the painting itself, it has the same style as Qiu Ying¡¯s original work. If you are picky, you may be able to find some faults, but overall, it is more realistic.  Even if it is admitted that this is a fake postscript, it will not affect the value of the painting.

    On the contrary, the forged postscript may be one of the strong evidences that it is authentic, because if the entire work is forged, more space can be left for Wen Zhengming's inscription and postscript.

    Zhou Xia frowned and thought for a long time, and finally came to his own conclusion that this was Qiu Ying's authentic work, but Wen Zhengming's inscription and postscript were also fake.  And judging from the imprint of this pseudo-postscript, I am afraid it is not a modern pseudo-postscript. According to Zhou Xia's own estimation, it was probably a pseudo-postscript made by later generations in the early Qing Dynasty.  At that time, there were too many unscrupulous literati who loved to show off, so the possibility of writing such a fake postscript and feeling complacent about it was quite high.

    It¡¯s a pity that such a good painting has been buried for so long without being able to rectify its name.

    Of course, Zhou Xia finally asked the system to help.  Then, Zhou Xia heard the system's cold yet pleasant voice again, "This work was created in 1545 AD."

    Zhou Xia thought in her heart that in 1545 AD, it was the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, when Qiu Ying lived, so there is no doubt that this painting is the authentic work of Qiu Ying.  After all, when Qiu Ying was still alive, it was unlikely that such high-quality imitations of Qiu Ying would appear on the market.

    When Zhou Xia retreated, Liu Yuqing and Xu Zhendong quickly stepped forward to appreciate it without him reminding him.

    At this time, Zhou Nanming was not as nervous as before, because the two of them were relatively trustworthy and did not disclose information to Zhou Xia in the previous painting.  Zhou Nanming also thought that their performance just showed that they were very optimistic about Zhou Xia's appraisal ability and were very confident in his appraisal results.

    This made Zhou Nanming feel a little puzzled. He looked at Zhou Xia again and found that he was still thinking.  However, this time, Zhou Nanming would no longer be deceived by his appearance. He was more vigilant in his heart and did not bother to talk to him.

    Wang Chao, Yu Xiaoyu and others, who were always talkative, did not bother Zhou Xia and begged him to reveal some information in advance, leaving him to ponder it carefully.  Zhou Xia was able to obtain identification results in such a short period of time before, which already made them treat him as an idol.

    After Xu Zhendong and Liu Yuqing carefully appreciated it and discussed it quietly together, Liu Yuqing asked Zhou Xia without waiting for Zhou Nanming to speak, "Zhou Xia, you can talk about your appraisal results. If you think you need to think about it for a while,  If so, we can wait and you can take a look."

    Zhou Nanming also showed his proper demeanor at this time and said with a smile, "Teacher Zhou, don't worry, time is not important, the accuracy of the identification results is the most important."

    "Then let me take a look" Zhou Xia thought for a while and finally said this.

    Zhou Nanming and others said that they could understand it. After all, it was indeed difficult to make the most accurate identification in such a short period of time without the help of other information.

    But that doesn¡¯t mean they are wrong. There are many treasures, and most people have never had the opportunity to see the real ones. If you can take a look at them, you should feel lucky. They are worth recalling and remembering for a lifetime.  Moreover, the opportunity to meet your favorite treasure and keep it is often not many, and it is fleeting. If you think about it for a long time, you may be overtaken by others, not to mention that you have to go back to check the information before making a conclusion, etc.  After you finish the research, the day lilies are cold.

    Although Zhou Xia had confidence in her heart, she was not polite at this time and turned around again.  His main focus is still on concentration.Since the painting has been confirmed to be the authentic work of Qiu Ying, he will naturally take this opportunity to appreciate it carefully and understand the characteristics of Qiu Ying's paintings. He will feel more confident when encountering Qiu Ying's works or imitating Qiu Ying's paintings in the future.  But what he did, in the eyes of others, was a sign that he was undecided.

    Zhou Xia pondered for a while, then raised his head and said to everyone, "Let me tell you my humble opinion first. I think this hunting picture in Qiu Mountain is indeed the authentic work of Qiu Ying!"

    He said this conclusion categorically, not only Zhou Nanming was a little surprised, but also Liu Yuqing and Xu Zhendong looked at him in surprise.
