Chapter 363(1/2)
Chu Tiankuo's attitude made Xia Xiaoyu sneer.
Looking at Chu Tiankuo, Xia Xiaoyu said expressionlessly:
"Chu Tiankuo, I gave you a chance and you didn't take it. Then you can't blame me! I said that your painting "Asking the Buddha on a Cold Autumn Water" is a fake, so it must be a fake! If you don't believe it,
Please come out with this painting now!"
Chu Tiankuo was not in a hurry.
Looking at Xia Xiaoyu, he immediately asked:
"What would you do if this painting was real?"
Xia Xiaoyu said immediately without even thinking about it:
"What do you think we should do?"
Chu Tiankuo's face was gloomy and he said slowly:
"Cut off your legs and get out of the provincial capital. From now on, you are not allowed to step into the provincial capital! You are not allowed to meet Miss Qiu Yuchen in private!"
Chu Tiankuo's words shocked everyone.
Just an ordinary bet.
Unexpectedly, Chu Tiankuo asked Xia Xiaoyu to cut off his legs if he lost!
Qiu Yuchen hurriedly stopped and said:
"Chu Tiankuo, Xia Xiaoyu, you can't bet like this!"
Everyone knows.
Qiu Yuchen was worried about Xia Xiaoyu.
Chu Jiawen was engaged in calligraphy and painting business and became well-known throughout the country.
Chu Tiankuo has been influenced by this since childhood.
Even some experts and scholars cannot compare with his knowledge of antiques.
What's more, what about Xia Xiaoyu?
What’s more, Xia Xiaoyu didn’t even see the painting.
Just say this painting is fake.
Qiu Yuchen believed that Xia Xiaoyu said what he said out of anger.
It's a pity.
Neither Xia Xiaoyu nor Chu Tiankuo responded to Qiu Yuchen's words.
Looking at Chu Tiankuo, Xia Xiaoyu nodded and said:
"Okay, I agree! But if your painting is a fake, what will you do?"
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
Chu Tian is broad-minded and confident.
Xia Xiaoyu said directly:
"I don't want your hands, nor your feet. I just want you to kowtow in public and apologize, admitting that you, the young master of the Chu family, are a huge idiot!"
Compared with Chu Tiankuo’s conditions.
Xia Xiaoyu's conditions are much more merciful.
"Okay, it's a deal!"
Chu Tiankuo agreed.
Then, he said to the assistant next to him:
"Bring out "Ask the Buddha on a Cold Autumn Day"!"
Because this work is related to Buddhism.
So Chu Tiankuo used the word "please".
Please come out as soon as the painting is done.
The collectors below are all extremely excited.
Several big collectors even held magnifying glasses.
I walked up to it and looked at everything carefully.
Xia Xiaoyu also walked to the painting and looked at it carefully.
After a while.
I saw a well-known collector in the provincial capital and put away his magnifying glass.
Pointing at the painting, he said to Xia Xiaoyu:
"Boy, why do you say this painting is fake? I can now solemnly tell you that this painting "Asking the Buddha on a Cold Autumn Water" is undoubtedly authentic!"
Several other collectors also agreed.
I listened to what these collectors said.
Chu Tiankuo was even more proud.
He turned to look at an old man who was looking at a painting and asked politely:
"Dean Zheng, what do you think of my painting?"
Although this old man is nearly seventy years old.
But he has white hair and a childlike face, and is full of energy.
His name is Zheng Cheng.
He is the director of the Provincial Institute of Ancient Calligraphy and Painting.
He has been obsessed with ancient calligraphy and painting all his life, and has made profound achievements in this field.
Known as "Zheng Banzhang" in the industry.
It is said that he only had to read half of the ancient calligraphy and painting.
You can identify authenticity and determine the age.
When Chu Tiankuo asked himself.
Dean Zheng did not look back directly, but turned to look at Xia Xiaoyu and asked:
"Sir, you said this painting was fake without seeing it before. Now that you have seen it, do you still insist on your opinion?"
As soon as Dean Zheng spoke.
The entire exhibition hall immediately became silent.
Everyone knows it, look at the whole country.
In terms of ancient calligraphy and painting, Dean Zheng is definitely the authority.
Xia Xiaoyu glanced at the Asking Buddha picture, then nodded and said:
"Yes, I still stand by my point of view. This painting is a fake!"
Xia Xiaoyu finished speaking.
A calligraphy and painting collector next to him immediately cursed:
"Fart, you are talking nonsense! The rice paper and ink marks of this painting can be seen to be from the middle of the Tang Dynasty. In addition, both the brushwork and the form, spirit and charm are all the characteristics of Monk Suzhi's brushwork. How can you
Do you dare to say that this is a fake painting? I think you are deliberately causing trouble here! Mr. Chu wants to break your legs, and you deserve it!"
As soon as the collector finished speaking, Xia Xiaoyu snorted coldly.
Looking at the collector, he said slowly:
"Thankfully, you are also a collector of calligraphy and paintings. I even doubt whether the paintings and calligraphy in your collection are all fakes!"
After saying that, Xia Xiaoyu pointed at the Buddha picture and said directly:
"However, what you just said is still right. The paper and ink of this painting, including the brocade and silk for the frame, are indeed from the Tang Dynasty. Moreover, the brushwork and charm of this painting are similar to those of Monk Su Zhi.
The paintings are very similar! However, this does not mean that this was painted by Monk Suzhi himself!"
As soon as Xia Xiaoyu finished speaking, Dean Zheng immediately asked:
"Young man, you mean that this painting was made by someone from the Tang Dynasty, imitating the monk Su Zhi?"
Xia Xiaoyu nodded again and said:
"Yes! In fact, before I saw this painting, I thought Chu Tiankuo's collection would be a complete fake. But looking at it now, it's no wonder Chu Tiankuo is eye-catching. This painting is indeed from the Tang Dynasty.
, but it wasn’t done by Monk Suzhi!”
Chu Tiankuo snorted coldly.
