Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Chen Jian was arrogant but respectful. After taking a few photos, Dr. Chen Jian asked Zhou Xia with concern, "Junior brother Zhou, do you want some of us brothers to escort you? After all, it is such a precious thing, worth thousands."  Wan, if someone has evil intentions, it would be nice to have someone to take care of him."

    Zhou Xia carefully put the painting away, and then said, "That's not necessary. Few people know its true value before it is auctioned. I am also relatively reassured about the public security environment in the East China Sea, so there is no need to worry about it for the time being.  I¡¯m worried about this. I won¡¯t bother you, Senior Brother Chen. Fang Xue and I still have something to do, so we¡¯ll go ahead and say goodbye.¡±

    Chen Jian is sincere at this moment. If something goes wrong with Zhou Xia, he will not be blamed later!

    But since Zhou Xia refused, Chen Jian could no longer lick his face. After saying a few polite words, he watched him and Fang Xue go out.

    Chu Jiangtian, the flat-headed man, waited until they were out of the house before he had time to ask Chen Jian, "I say Chen Jian, you won't really believe that that painting is an important piece of autumn auction worth tens of millions!"

    Chen Jian felt a little ashamed to be with him, "I say A Tian, ??how about you think more carefully before you speak, I am almost killed by you! If this is not a genuine product, when you bet,  Can Zhou Xia be so calm and calm? Will Fang Xue come out to stop him? What's more, after my personal appraisal, the painting just now is indeed the early work of Zhu Da, a Badashan native. Its preciousness is no less than his other works.  . Only a genius like Bada Shanren can create such a touching momentum in the first draft."

    Chu Jiangtian was scolded and scolded, but in the end he muttered that he didn't understand.

    "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Just don't talk nonsense in the future. If you didn't have the shame to say nice things to him, you would still have to get into the table. You say, isn't it embarrassing!" Chen Jian naturally took the credit for himself. As for the painting  Or whatever, he simply didn't explain this, it was much more difficult than playing the piano to a cow.

    The flat-headed man nodded repeatedly, and he was secretly glad in his heart. Of course, he couldn't stop talking, and said to Chen Jian, "Chen Jian, your love rival is extremely powerful!"

    ????????????? It¡¯s really hard to pick up the pot that doesn¡¯t open it.

    Chen Jiandu felt a little regretful. If he had known better, he should have let him get under the table.

    Not to mention how they were making trouble, when Zhou Xia and Fang Xue left the restaurant, Fang Xue said to him, "I'm sorry, it was me who got you involved!"

    Zhou Xia chuckled and said, "What are you talking about? They came to you on their own. It's just to see me standing next to you. It's so uncharacteristic. But in this way, it's a good thing. It's a slap in the face."  , to make them realize that they cannot judge a book by its appearance, it is a good reminder for them and ourselves. Moreover, such an activity can also be regarded as a moderate publicity for my auction.  "

    Fang Xue knew he was talking nonsense, so she just said, "Thank you!"

    Zhou Xia replied, "I, Chen Jian, am really a talent. He is much smarter than his few friends. I was still counting on him to say that this painting was fake! It's a pity that he didn't be fooled and didn't  I can't help but embarrass him in public, I don't dare to say thank you!"

    Thinking of their previous appearance, Fang Xue couldn't help but chuckle, "I can't tell, Zhou Xia, you are really bad!"

    Zhou Xia said cheerfully, "It's really not my fault"

    The two of them were chatting and laughing, and headed to Tunghai University.  The news hadn't spread yet, so Zhou Xia really wasn't worried that he and Fang Xue would be robbed.

    Fang Xue was familiar with the road and took Zhou Xia through the terrain easily and went straight to Professor Zhu's home.

    Zhu Xiufang¡¯s current residence is the teachers¡¯ apartment of Tunghai University.  In Tunghai University, those who reach the professor level are paid quite well.  There is also an elevator room, three bedrooms and one living room, and the place is quite spacious.

    Zhou Xia was also thinking in her heart that if a house like this was a commercial house, it would cost at least 2.5 million.  Although he has a little money now, he is still not close to buying a house in Donghai City. He does not plan to buy a house in the short term. With the rented house, he can still cope with it for several years.

    Fang Xuefang knocked on the door of Zhu Xiufang's house.

    Seeing that it was Fang Xue, Zhu Xiufang's face became brighter, and she smiled kindly and said to her, "It's Xiaoxue, come in quickly, you haven't eaten yet!"

    Fang Xue quickly explained the purpose of her visit, "Professor Zhu, we have had dinner! We came here this time to ask you to help us identify something. This is my classmate Zhou Xia when I was an undergraduate, and the thing belongs to him."

    Zhou Xia also quickly said hello and said, "Hello, Professor Zhu, when you gave us a class before, you were still ignorant and failed to listen carefully. Now I am here to ask you for advice. I hopeProfessor, don¡¯t be offended!  "

    Zhu Xiufang smiled and said, "Wherever you can come to me, I will be very happy. Stop talking outside the door and come in quickly!"

    The voice of Zhu Xiufang¡¯s wife came from the house again, asking her who was here.

    Zhu Xiufang said it was Xiaoxue, and her wife also looked very happy. Before she saw anyone, she said she was welcome.

    Zhou Xia thought, Fang Xue seemed very welcome in their home.

    After entering the house, Zhou Xia took a casual look. The decoration style of their home was very unique. There were not many furnitures, but they were all classical and elegant. There were several calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls.  Although it was not a work by a famous artist, Zhou Xia just scanned it and judged that it was of a very high standard and was most likely the work of Zhu Xiufang and her husband.  Generally speaking, those who appraise like them have a very high level of cultivation. Otherwise, it would be impossible to understand the works of famous masters more deeply.

    Zhou Xia himself, due to his background and poor conditions, has nothing to do, but he is also trying his best to work hard in this regard.

    Zhu Xiufang did not directly ask Zhou Xia to open the painting and look at it.

    Fang Xue was also thinking about giving them a surprise, so she didn't mention it yet, preparing to chat with her for a few words and then see what happened.

    Zhu Xiufang was naturally very familiar with Fang Xue, so she didn't say many polite words to her. She only asked questions about Zhou Xia's current situation and where she worked with concern.

    Zhou Xia also replied, "After I graduated, I went to an auction company to do appraisals. The more I came into contact with, the more I realized that the foundation that Professor Zhu asked us to lay before, as well as the appraisal methods and techniques he taught us, are in actual use  How important it is in application. At the same time, I also learned a lot of things in practice that I couldn¡¯t learn in school.¡±

    Zhu Xiufang laughed and said, "Zhou Xia, you are quite good at talking. I remember that when you were in school, you were not as lively as you are now. It seems that you have grown up too much after going out to society, which makes us teachers feel  I'm extremely pleased. I think it's great that the things taught in school can bring you some help."

    Zhou Xia said, "The knowledge Professor Zhu taught us is very useful! Not long ago, I used this knowledge and combined with my work experience during this period to buy a painting in the antique market. I myself  It felt pretty good. Then I thought, take it over and ask Professor Zhu to help me do an appraisal."

    Zhu Xiufang said, "The antique market outside is very chaotic now. It's best to be careful when making a move. Xiaoxue, you must have seen this painting too!"

    When Fang Xue was called, she immediately replied, "Yeah, Zhou Xia showed it to me, and I thought it was interesting, but I'm still not sure. That's why I suggested that Zhou Xia bring trouble to Professor Zhu."  "

    Zhu Xiufang laughed when she heard this and said, "Hey, there is something Xiaoxue that you can't be sure of!"

    Fang Xue said coquettishly, "I have just started in the industry, and there are many things I am not sure about. The teacher is not allowed to laugh at me."

    Zhou Xia next to him was so shocked that he fell down. He had never seen Fang Xue behave like this before. Based on this alone, Zhou Xia felt that this trip was worth it.  What a woman!  I really don't know how many faces they have, but there is no doubt that every gesture can arouse the fire in a man's heart.

    Zhu Xiufang said, "I have to take a good look at the things that even Xiaoxue is not sure about. It must be the things in this box!"

    Zhou Xia nodded. At this time, Zhu Xiufang's wife also came from the kitchen.

    At the moment, everyone did not care about looking at the paintings, and Fang Xue also helped them introduce them.

    Zhou Xia also found out that Zhu Xiufang¡¯s wife¡¯s surname was Fang, and her name was Fang Rujian. She was also a professor at Donghai University, but from the literature department.  Zhou Xia didn't know this person before, but seeing that Fang Xue had a good relationship with their family and was willing to borrow paintings for Zhu Xiufang, Zhou Xia felt that if Fang Rujian had some relationship with Fang Xue, it was all  That¡¯s Fang!  It would be strange for Zhou Xia not to think about it.

    But they didn¡¯t say anything, so Zhou Xia didn¡¯t go into it further.

    Fang Rujian and Zhu Xiufang are about the same age. They are both in their sixties and have gray hair all over their heads.  But both of them seemed to be in good spirits and seemed to be in good health.

    Fang Rujian chatted with them for a few words, and then Zhu Xiufang said to look at paintings.

    Zhou Xia respectfully asked her to help with the appraisal. He was very calm, but Fang Xueke next to him was a little nervous, and her eyes flickered between him and Zhu Xiufang from time to time.

    Zhu Xiufang put on her gloves, opened the box, and carefully took out the paintings inside.

    Before she could unfold it, Fang Xue couldn't help but call a timeout,His voice was as cold as ever, but this time, there was a touch of tenderness in it, "Professor Zhu, please don't get too excited later."

    Zhu Xiufang was a little puzzled, but Fang Rujian's mind was spinning quickly. He smiled and said to her, "The painting Xiaoxue found for you must be extraordinary! No matter what, just keep your normal mind."

    Fang Xue is actually afraid that if she is too excited and something goes wrong, it will not be a surprise, but a fright!

    Fortunately, with her warning in advance, although the surprise may be slightly less, there will definitely be no accidents.

    Zhu Xiufang suppressed her mood and unfolded the painting.

    Before the painting was fully unfolded, Zhu Xiufang's eyes changed. They were originally calm, but now they suddenly became intense and excited.

    Fang Rujian was also paying close attention. Similarly, his eyes became the same as Zhu Xiufang's. You know, this was something that his wife Zhu Xiufang had been talking about for several days. He didn't expect that it would happen in such a way.  , appeared in front of them.

    Only Fang Xue was a little worried. There was no surprise at all. She only asked cautiously, "Professor Zhu, are you okay?"

    After all, they are people who have seen the world and have rich experience. Zhu Xiufang and Fang Rujian quickly regained their composure.

    ¡°You can¡¯t lose face in front of two juniors.

    Zhu Xiufang also calmly unfolded the entire painting.

    Then he turned around and asked Zhou Xia, "Zhou Xia, you said you got this painting yourself?"

    Zhou Xia nodded and replied, "Yes!"

    "Have you sent it to Tiandi Auction Company's autumn auction? I see that this painting is their top priority in the ancient Chinese calligraphy and painting auction." Zhu Xiufang asked quickly.

    Zhou Xia was thinking in her heart, look, this knowledge is completely different from that of the flat-headed man. The guy first doubted Zhou Xia and then suspected that this thing was fake.  Zhu Xiufang assumed from the beginning that it was Zhou Xia who sent it to the autumn auction.

    This is not only a matter of knowledge, but also a difference in trust.

    Zhu Xiufang didn¡¯t think that Fang Xue, whom she trusted very much, would use a replica to make her happy.  And Zhou Xia seems to be quite honest.  His public face, at this time, once again made a contribution.

    Zhou Xia nodded and said yes.

    "Then why did you take it out from the auction company? Xiaoxue must have asked you to do this, right? Please trouble me!" Zhu Xiufang is a smart person and immediately thought of the joint.

    Zhou Xia hurriedly replied, "It's not troublesome at all. Xiaoxue also saw that Professor Zhu was very concerned about this painting, so she wanted to give Professor Zhu a surprise. It happened that the day I bought this painting, I asked Fang Xue to help  So, I did an appraisal. But we didn't have time to get the complete appraisal results at that time. When Tiandi Auction Company got the news, they asked me to send the painting to them to help with the appraisal. I was originally from Tiandi Auction.  The people who work in the company, after a few experts appraised it, sent it to the autumn auction. Now it is very easy to take it out, I just told Manager Liu. "

    After listening to his explanation, Zhu Xiufang and Fang Rujian felt relieved. After praising her a few words, they did not forget to blame Fang Xue in the end, "You are not allowed to do such things in the future. For our sake, we will harm others."  Xia bears no small responsibility for this."

    Fang Xue nodded obediently and said she wouldn¡¯t do it next time.

    She also knew as clearly as a mirror the thoughts of the two old people.

    Zhou Xia stood up and said good things for Fang Xue at this time, "Professor Zhu, don't blame Xiaoxue! She also means well, and for me, this is not a troublesome thing. In fact! I have been looking for an opportunity for a long time,  Come back to visit Professor Zhu and appreciate your collection of Bada Shanren¡¯s works. Unfortunately, I have never been able to find the opportunity. Xiaoxue came to me this time and gave me just such an opportunity. I don¡¯t know if I am lucky enough to be able to  Take a look at other authentic Bada Shanren products.¡±

    Zhu Xiufang smiled and said, "Zhou Xia, you are too polite! We have indeed collected a lot of Bada Shanren's works. Xiaoxue, you are the one who leaked this secret! Lao Fang, please take Zhou Xia and the others to the study first.  Zhou Xia is determined to learn, and we have to help him. Take out all the works of Bada Shanren. Let him and Xiaoxue carefully evaluate them. Then I will have to check the level of the two of them.  Have you made any progress? I'll take a closer look at this painting first, so don't disturb me yet."

    Zhou Xia quickly thanked her, although for him, this was also a very difficult test.  But Zhou Xia feels that the more such tests come, the better.

    Fang Xue, who was shot innocently, was happy to go with Zhou Xia. She also knew that Mrs. Zhu XiufangIt is impossible for all the Bada Shanren works collected by the two to be genuine. Otherwise, how much would they be worth?

    Of course, the imitations that can catch the eye of Professor Zhu Xiufang are not ordinary things. You have to think carefully and devote yourself to dealing with them with the spirit of college entrance examination and postgraduate entrance examination.

    Fang Rujian smiled and said yes, he naturally knows best what his wife Zhu Xiufang is thinking, and he often does things like testing students.

    This is not to say that they have bad intentions and deliberately embarrass the students.

    It¡¯s absolutely not that interesting. One of the tests of this kind is to test the students¡¯ true level.  Secondly, through such tests, they can also learn more things as quickly as possible.

    I believe that with how smart Zhou Xia and Fang Xue are, it is not difficult to understand their painstaking efforts.

    At the moment, Fang Rujian took Zhou Xia and Fang Xue to the study, leaving the hall to Zhu Xiufang herself.

    Fang Rujian and she once exchanged opinions on this painting. In addition to its authenticity, they even discussed whether and where to raise money to bid for this painting at the autumn auction.

    Of course, the premise is that after seeing the real thing, you are sure that the painting is as advertised.  It was written by Zhu Da, a sad and angry Badashan native, in 1644, when the Ming Dynasty fell.

    ¡°In fact, the two of them don¡¯t trust Tiandi Auction Company very much.

    It¡¯s an auction company!  The ultimate goal is to make profits, and this propaganda is no matter how exaggerated or sensational it is.  Whether it is based on facts and whether it is out of touch with reality is not within their scope of consideration.  Some auction companies can even use fictional characters like Lu Siniang for publicity.

    It¡¯s really difficult for experienced experts like them to believe in the auction company¡¯s prudence.

    After sending a few people away, Zhu Xiufang still felt a sense of surprise in her heart.  She was also very touched. Although Fang Xue had a cold face, she had a warm heart. She was already very happy to have such thoughts.

    But at this time, she had to gather herself and appraise the painting.

    This is also an important moment she faces.

    If it is true, as advertised by the auction company, that this painting was painted in 1644 AD and belongs to the early work of Zhu Da, a native of Badashan, then their estimate of tens of millions is still conservative.  You must know that Bada Shanren's early works, that is, those before the age of 30 or 40, are rarely circulated, and only three or four paintings have been handed down to the world.  This painting, especially said to be the work of his youth, is even more precious and rare. It is of great value for studying Bada Shanren Zhu Da's mental journey, changes in artistic style, etc.
