Chapter 320 Wu Di's First Time

ps: Thank you, Da Da, Da Da Da, Da Da Da, Da Da Da, Da Da, Da Da's monthly ticket, I was so anxious that I was sweating. I read it before posting the article and found that the taste was not right. I made major changes and wasted time on one hand, and I was afraid that it would be inappropriate to correct it! If you save the manuscript, you have to save at least two chapters!

Wu Di read the ten scrolls for more than two hours. During this period, he mistakenly recognized a picture of "Dan Cliff and Jade Tree Picture" imitating Huang Gongwang by An Shaofang in the late Ming Dynasty. He didn't care. In fact, An Shaofang had almost no works of his generation, and it was not his fault whether he could recognize them.

An Shaofang was from Suzhou Province during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. He learned landscapes from Huang Gongwang, Ni Zan, and Xiao Shuyi, but his pen was a bit rigid. At the same time, he was good at painting orchids and bamboos, but he never painted easily. He only heard of one painting "Imitation of Ni Zan's Spreading Forests and Far Mountains". Without the Heavenly Book, most people would not recognize this painting. Even Wu Di had a reminder and thought for a long time before he remembered that there was indeed such a person in the genealogy of calligraphers and painters of all dynasties.

"The boss this week is really interesting. He collects some weird but not valuable works. I don't know if he is not lucky or likes to be innovative? No, is it because he deliberately used it to make things difficult for me?"

Wu Di watched it for more than two hours, and Zhou Jianxiong also stayed with him for more than two hours, carefully adding tea and replenishing water himself without saying a word. There was even a shop clerk who wanted to call him out with a hurried face, but he waved his hand and drove him away.

Wu Di didn't even read the painting, and Zhou Jianxiong couldn't tell anything from his expression. He was always worried. His father's collection of these paintings was indeed a bit uncommon, so he couldn't find anyone to issue an appraisal certificate. Anyone who had seen them would be polite to say a word, and he would just leave without hesitation. Wu Di had seen it for more than two hours, so he should be able to draw a conclusion, right? I hope his level is really high, but if it was the same as the legendary one, it would be bad. He would definitely think that this was deliberately making things difficult for him!

Zhou Jianxiong regretted that he shouldn't have taken out these works so eagerly and just found two common masterpieces. He is so young that he can remember the names of calligraphers and painters of all ages. It would be good if he could remember the names of calligraphers and painters of all ages!

Wu Di didn't know that Zhou Jianxiong was regretting it. He had already opened the last scroll and found that it was a "Gourd Picture". He couldn't help but smile bitterly. This must have been made by some rare painter!

The color of this painting is mainly light color. The part is also used with strong contrasting colors. The style is cold and novel, elegant and vivid, without any stagnant appearance. The composition shows its ingenuity, but the signature is the word "Xugu".

This is actually one of the "Four Masters of the Hai School", a work by Xu Gu in the late Qing Dynasty! Xu Gu died in 1896. He was originally a general in the Qing army. He was unwilling to be ordered to attack the Taiping Army because he was dissatisfied with the rule of the court. Later, he became a monk and was once praised as the first painting garden in the late Qing Dynasty. At the Palace Museum, he had one of his representative works "Plum Crane Picture". Because he was relatively recent, there were many works he passed down from generation to generation, with about a dozen. Unexpectedly, he could see one here.

After putting the scroll, Wu Di raised his wrist and looked at his watch. He smiled bitterly:

"I'm sorry, I'm so focused. I didn't expect that this is too late. Boss Zhou's ten calligraphy and paintings are all genuine and precious!"

Zhou Jianxiong let out a long sigh, hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted:

"Thank you, Master, thank you, I believe my father will be very happy to be able to get your recognition. It's just the time to eat. I want to take the liberty to invite you to your home and let your father meet you, which is fulfilling his wish. By the way, I forgot to say that my father is old and has bad luck, so he has never come to see you in the store. Don't blame him."

"This is better next time. I came here this time to find a bargain..."

Wu Di's impression of Zhou Jianxiong was not good or bad. From his performance during the paintings, we can see that this is a person who has achieved great cultivation, but it is a bit difficult to take out these paintings for him to see. So he told the truth, which was a little bit venting his dissatisfaction.

Zhou Jianxiong was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly:

"It's not because I deliberately used these paintings to make things difficult for the master. I have finally encountered a master of my level like you. Jianxiong dared not miss it easily!"

Wu Di knew what the result would be if these paintings were shown to others, so he didn't care about himself and waved his hand and said:

"It's okay. Now that I've finished reading the paintings, I should leave. Boss Zhou has a good eye. There's most likely nothing to leak in your store, hahahaha."

Zhou Jianxiong was anxious, oh! You are still angry with me! After reading it, what's the use of saying it's genuine? You have to issue an appraisal certificate! But he didn't know that Wu Di had never done an appraisal for anyone, and there was no such concept in his mind.

"Master, I still have something to ask for. I hope the master can accomplish it!"

Wu Di frowned, a little unhappy. It has been delayed for more than two hours and I haven't seen anything good. Why is there anything wrong?

Zhou Jianxiong said with a tough bullet:

"Master, since you have identified these ten calligraphy and paintings as authentic works, I wonder if you can trouble you again, how many appraisal certificates will be issued?"

Wu Di was stunned and couldn't help laughing. It's true that helping collectors identify the authenticity of the collection is a common thing for every appraiser, but he didn't expect that he would have such a day. Forget it, since he has seen other people's good things, just start writing. It's a pity that his first time was actually lost in Hong Kong!

When Zhou Jianxiong saw Wu Di agreeing, he was overjoyed and hurriedly ran out to get the appraisal certificate. Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he was caught by the guy waiting at the door anxiously. The guy whispered a few words in his ear. Zhou Jianxiong's face suddenly changed and he exclaimed in a low voice:

"What did you say?"

After hearing what the guy said, Zhou Jianxiong rushed downstairs in a hurry. He saw more than a dozen colleagues standing or sitting in the store at a glance. He couldn't help but slow down and said with a wry smile:

"Brother Liu, Brother Wang, Mr. Song, Hello everyone, I didn't expect that the shop would welcome a few big fights at the same time today. It really made me feel glorious!"

He said, roaming with his fists and greeted each other with the few people he had not mentioned.

The old man he called Mr. Song had white hair and beard, but he was very energetic. He smiled when he heard this, pointed to the upper floor, and asked in a low voice:

"Still here?"

Zhou Jianxiong smiled bitterly:

"I'm still here, I just finished watching it."

When the owners of more than a dozen surrounding antique shops heard this, they all gathered up and one of them asked:

"It's said that he was praised by someone. Is this true?"

Zhou Jianxiong shook his head and said slowly:

"Master, the most powerful master!"

Everyone gasped. Zhou Jianxiong's family was of a good origin. His old man was famous in the Hong Kong antique industry. He studied appraisal since he was a child and had reached the level of master in calligraphy and painting. How powerful would he be? Moreover, I heard that Wu Di is a versatile talent...

"This... Master will come down later. Can Brother Zhou recommend me? I just received something recently. I always feel strange and feel uneasy. I want to ask the master to come and take a look for me."

When this person said this, everyone agreed, all wanting to invite Wu Di to their store to sit.

Zhou Jianxiong smiled bitterly:

"Please wait a moment. I haven't finished it yet. And the master hasn't had time to eat yet. I will definitely recommend you if you have the chance. As for whether the master has time to pass, I'm not sure."

After saying that, he hurried upstairs and took ten appraisal certificates from the office, respectfully asked Wu Di to write the appraisal words and leave the signature.

Wu Di thought about the pen slightly, and the identification characteristics of the ten works were all in his mind. He used his pen to fly, and in a moment, he filled out ten appraisal certificates. He smiled and said:

"I don't have a private seal yet, but the signature should be counted. It's just that the handwriting is a bit ugly. Haha, don't blame Boss Zhou."

When Wu Di was writing, Zhou Jianxiong had read all the things he had written. His handwriting was very average, but he had never practiced it at first glance. However, the identification of the words was short and incisive, and it required a lot of skills to summarize it in such a short time. It seemed that he had indeed understood these ten works thoroughly. Compared with some experts, it took ten days and half a month to identify a painting and calligraphy, and this level was really incomparable!

He carefully packed the appraisal certificate, took out a thick paper bag from his arms, handed it over with a smile, and said:

"Please accept a little bit of meager thought. Master Wan Wang should not refuse."

Wu Di was stunned for a moment before remembering that their corps had made an appraisal, and usually there were red envelopes to get. Knowing that refusal would make people think it was false, so he was no longer polite. He took it straightforwardly, and pinched it by the way, couldn't help but think:

"This market is not very good! Judging from the thickness, it can be up to 20,000 yuan. I heard that the girl Zheng Zhuya earned 30,000 to 40,000 yuan last time in Yangcheng!"

Thinking in my heart, I smiled on my face:

"Okay, then I'm not polite. But after earning money, I'm not going to leave immediately. Let's do this, I'll treat you to this lunch today!"

He suddenly thought about how to ask where these paintings came from while he was having a meal. According to the current situation, the Zhou family should have some peerless orphans hidden in this week. Even if one or two paintings cannot be fooled by then, the knowledge is good.

Zhou Jianxiong smiled bitterly as soon as he heard this:

"Stop talking about eating. Master, please go downstairs with me to take a look. I don't know which brat leaked the news. More than a dozen bosses from nearby have arrived and have been waiting downstairs for more than an hour."

Wu Di was stunned. There were too many surprises today, and then he laughed:

"It seems that I'm going to get some blood today, more than a dozen, so I've invited so many people this time!"

Zhou Jianxiong shook his head, it would be great if it was just a treat. I was afraid that you would be surrounded by them when you got off the floor, and finally a five-horse horse would be dismembered! But seeing that Wu Di is young and has a good temper, there should be nothing wrong, right?
Chapter completed!
