Chapter 661 The precious calligraphy and painting are just fakes
Xu Min is the eldest son of the Xu family. He was the first to come forward to present a gift and prepared a half-meter-high white jade Guanyin for the old man. Judging from the quality, he knew it was a valuable treasure.
Then Xu Li stepped forward, held a mahogany square box in both hands, slowly opened the gift box, and introduced with a smile: "Father, this is a genuine calligraphy of Wang Xizhi that I have spent a year visiting many domestic and foreign collectors and asked for!"
"The authentic works of Wang Xizhi? That is a priceless treasure!" Xu Zhenjiang was a little excited: "Come and open it, let me see!"
All the guests at the scene were excited when they heard this and moved their bodies forward without any sensible notice.
Wang Xizhi was a famous calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and was known as the Saint of Calligraphy. However, it is rumored that his original works have long been out of print. Should we see the original works today?
Xu Li carefully unfolded the scroll, and a running script copybook with peaceful and natural handwriting, tactful and subtle, and beautiful and beautiful style was presented to Xu Zhenjiang and other guests.
"It's indeed the original work, flowing through the flowing water and fascinating the craftsmanship..."
"Yes, yes, it's just that there is no title, I don't know what I'm writing, I can't understand at all."
"There are countless fakes on the market, but I didn't expect that I actually saw the original one."
"Now fakes seem to be sold for millions or even tens of millions. Isn't this authentic work priceless treasure?"
"The Xu family is indeed a big deal!"
...
After seeing the copybook, the guests at the scene were in an uproar.
"Okay, okay, I deserve to be my good son. I like this gift very much." Seeing that the guests present were amazed, Mr. Xu was very satisfied and clapped his hands. Not everyone could get such a priceless treasure.
"Congratulations!" a group of guests congratulated repeatedly.
Xu Li stood there with a proud look on his face, enjoying the scene of the stars moving around the moon. Then he looked at Xu Yifei: "Your father didn't even dare to show his face, and probably didn't prepare a gift for the old man, right?"
"My dad is too busy with work and can't come back for the time being." Xu Yifei smiled awkwardly, "But after he finishes his work, he will definitely make up for the gift."
Xu Yifei realized that she had not prepared gifts for Xu Feng. It was mainly because she and her father were regarded as outsiders by the Xu family over the years and had never allowed them to attend their birthdays, so she was not considerate.
"Hmph, no matter how busy you are, you can have the old man's birthday?" Xu Li smiled coldly and curled his lips disdainfully: "Forget it, Xu Feng can't come out anyway, so it's just right if he doesn't come, so as not to be embarrassed."
"Oh, what's there to be proud of when using fakes as gifts?" At this moment, a speechless voice suddenly rang out.
In an instant, the entire banquet hall became quiet.
Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came, but they saw the young man next to Xu Yifei with a pile of empty dishes, eating with food all over his mouth.
The person who spoke was Xia Yu. He was too lazy to talk too much, but Xu Li was too mean to provoke Xu Yifei, so he couldn't bear it.
"Haha!" Xu Yifei smiled awkwardly and muttered in a low voice: "At this time, don't make trouble."
"Sir, you can't say such things." Gao Jianguo's face was also slightly red. He felt embarrassed to be watched by so many people.
"This is going to ruin the situation, but I like it, it's exciting enough, but I've been hurt by mistake." Wu Hao quickly wiped his mouth and prepared to run away at any time.
"Hmph!" Xu Li didn't expect that someone would say that his gift was a fake, but it was not easy to attack directly, so he immediately gave Xu Guang a wink.
Seeing that it was Xia Yu talking nonsense, and thinking that Xia Yu had just lost all his face, Xu Guang jumped out: "What are you? You dare to say that my father's gift is a fake. I think you are sincere in making trouble. Someone came to blow him out for me. Here is the security guard!"
Originally, Xu Guang had no good feelings for Xia Yu, but now he seized the opportunity and wanted to blow him out. The remaining Xu Yifei was a lamb to be slaughtered.
"Old Master Xu, he is my friend. Do you really want to drive him out?" Gao Jianguo had to get up and look at Xu Zhenjiang.
When many people in the crowd were surprised when they heard Gao Jianguo's introduction, the status of the director of the Public Security Bureau is not low. If they can protect Xia Yu like this, the relationship between the two must be extraordinary.
"It turns out to be Director Gao's friend."
Xu Zhenjiang, who was originally a little angry, laughed and looked at Xia Yu: "Since he is Director Gao's friend, it should be an unintentional mistake. But if you say in public that my son's things are fake, you always have to give an explanation.
Since you say it is a fake, then point out where the thing is fake, otherwise you will apologize to my son. Things will be over, otherwise my Xu family will not welcome you."
"Old guy, I'm so determined." Xia Yu narrowed her eyes. She had caused the Xu family to lose so much face before, but she didn't expect that Mr. Xu was still so calm. It was indeed old but not dead, but a thief. She was much better than Xu Li and Xu Guang and others.
"My little sir, please apologize. If someone dares to give the paintings in public, it cannot be fake." Gao Jianguo quickly pushed Xia Yu.
"Ahem!" Xia Yu swallowed all the food in her mouth, and wiped her mouth, saying, "It was a fake, why should I apologize?"
"Random!" Xu Li couldn't sit still, roared angrily, staring at Xia Yu coldly: "I have invited many famous artists to identify this ink treasure. Why do you say it is fake? If you don't believe it, there are famous calligraphers and painters present, so let him check it."
Several old men with reading glasses stepped forward, took a magnifying glass to start the inspection, and finally gave a unified conclusion: it was indeed the original work of Wang Xizhi.
"Did you see it? These are all antique experts in Longjiang City. They all prove that this magic treasure is real, and Xia Yu is making trouble."
Xu Guang immediately shouted loudly: "Come on, blow this guy who deliberately made trouble."
"Wait a minute!" Xia Yu got up and burped: "The experts speak like farts these days. Do you really believe it?"
"Young man, are you saying too much?"
An old man with gray hair and wearing a coat and clothes looked at Xia Yu in dissatisfaction: "I have been studying calligraphy and painting for more than 60 years. I can be sure that this calligraphy and painting is genuine. What do you use to prove that it is a fake."
"Gu Baoqi actually spoke, then the calligraphy and paintings are definitely real."
Guests around nodded because Gu Baoqi is a famous antique calligraphy and painting artist in Longjiang City, and many national treasures have to be asked to identify them, so the weight of his speech is naturally large.
