Dong Qichang was a painter and great calligrapher in the late Ming Dynasty. He was especially good at running script and cursive script, and he was also very proud of his small regular script. There are very few regular scripts handed down from generation to generation, so the price of a single one is definitely over 100 million.

Li Mo used his special pupils, but what surprised him was that the calligraphy in front of him did not reflect the blue halo that represented the Ming Dynasty, but the gray halo that represented the Qing Dynasty, and the color was lighter, which meant that this regular script was actually

It is a copy of a calligrapher from the late Qing Dynasty.

He glanced at Mr. Li and his grandson who was jumping up and down without leaving any trace. Do they know that this is a copy?

"Mr. Qin, how do you like this painting of Dong Qichang's regular script?" Mr. Li asked leisurely, stroking the beard on his chin.

"Dong Qichang's calligraphy absorbs the essence of ancient calligraphy, but does not deliberately imitate the handwriting. It has the beauty of 'Yan Gu Zhao Zi'. His calligraphy combines the calligraphy styles of Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan schools, and is self-contained.

His calligraphy style is elegant and ethereal, elegant and self-sufficient. His strokes are vigorous and graceful, plain and simple."

"Furthermore, he uses his pen skillfully and always maintains a straight edge, with few clumsy or sluggish strokes. In terms of composition, the word and word, line and line, branch layout, sparse and well-proportioned, strive to follow the ancient method.

The ink is also very particular, whether it is dry or wet, thick or light, to achieve its beauty. Calligraphy by Dong Qichang can be said to be a masterpiece of ancient methods."

Mr. Qin has a high level of appreciation of calligraphy and painting, and is especially familiar with such great calligraphers who have a long history.

"This regular script can be said to be the most representative work among Dong Qichang's calligraphy and paintings. Mr. Li, where did you find this calligraphy?"

"How can I, an old man, have such ability? Jiayu bought it at an auction abroad two years ago, and it cost nearly 20 million. However, this Dong Qichang regular script painting is valued at 120 million in China.

It’s a big mistake.”

"Grandpa, 120 million was the valuation two years ago. If it is put up for auction now, it might be worth another 10 to 20 million."

"Jiayu, it's a good collection of this calligraphy. It has huge potential for appreciation."

"Grandpa Qin, I listen to you." Li Jiayu said flatteringly. He was about to roll up the words when he suddenly looked at Li Mo who was standing silently aside and said with a smile: "Li Mo, you are known as the golden eye, right?

I have a high appreciation of porcelain and jade, and I also have a certain level of identification of calligraphy and painting. What do you think of this Dong Qichang's regular script?"

Li Mo smiled faintly and said: "My appreciation of calligraphy and painting is average. Last time I picked up Zhu Zhishan's cursive script in Liulichang, Mr. Qin helped me identify it. So if you ask me what I think about this regular script, that's really a question.

Wrong person."

"Then this opportunity is even more rare. Do you want to ask Grandpa Qin for advice again?"

This is a bit exaggerated and seems to be showing off.

The three old men had matured with age, so they couldn't help but frown slightly, but they didn't say anything in person.

Li Mo didn't even care, but said with a smile: "There are many aspects to appreciating a calligraphy and painting, such as what you see are its characters, its seal, and its value. Grandpa Qin may also appraise the ink used on it."

, its paper, its age. And sometimes I will focus on its mounting technology, its scroll shape, materials, and even many subtle details that you have never thought of."

When comparing people with each other, they can clearly distinguish the winner and loser in just a few sentences.

Shi Lao likes Li Mo quite a lot. At least his words show what makes him different from others. He doesn't belittle himself when he lifts others up, and he can still appear to be independent and special.

"The fact that you can say this means that your appraisal level is still very high. I am not proficient in calligraphy and painting, so I have to ask you for advice." Li Jiayu pressed forward step by step.

"At this level, I still don't want to show my shame in front of everyone."

"Jiayu, please put this painting away, let's go over and have tea." Mr. Li coughed, his grandson was still not big-hearted enough.

"Grandpa, he is obviously trying to deal with me and you. I heard that he appraised an authentic piece of Shi Tao for Sijun in Jinling, and it is now hanging in the Jinling Museum. You are all appraisers of that authentic piece of Shi Tao.

There has been no clear conclusion, but he can do it."

"Grandpa Qin, Grandpa Shi, and Li Mo, who does he look down on?"

The study room suddenly became quiet.

Li Mo's face was gloomy. He stared into Li Jiayu's eyes and said coldly: "Let me say two sentences first. The first sentence is that before I appraised this painting, it could be worth 120 million or even more, but after I appraised it,

It might be worth hundreds of thousands, or even worth nothing."

"Second sentence, in front of Mr. Qin, Mr. Shi, and your grandfather, let me ask you again, are you sure you want me to authenticate?"

Everyone clearly heard his anger, and they also clearly heard what he meant, that there might be something wrong with this authentic regular script painting that everyone recognized as Dong Qichang?

Mr. Qin knows Li Mo quite well. Since he said this in front of everyone, there is definitely something wrong with this painting.

Li Jiayu was dumbfounded by these two words.

"Xiao Mo, is there really something wrong with this word?" Mr. Qin asked solemnly.

"Mr. Qin, in fact, I have already answered your question just now. When I appraise calligraphy and paintings, I pay more attention to their details."

Although there is no direct answer, it is confirmed from the side that there is something wrong with this character.

"Xiao Mo, if this calligraphy is sold to you, how much can you bid?"

Mr. Li is very wise in this question. He can guess the water content of this painting from the amount of money given by Li Mo.

Li Mo shook his head and said, "I won't accept it. I won't even give it to me for free."

"Li Mo, you are so arrogant."

Li Jiayu gritted his teeth and said, his heart filled with anger and some fear.

Li Mo's few words pierced a deep thorn in his heart.

If he decided to ask Li Mo for identification, the consequences would probably be unacceptable to him.

If he didn't want Li Mo's appraisal, it would be equivalent to slapping himself hard in front of the three old men.

Not only was he embarrassed, his grandfather would also be embarrassed. After all, Mr. Qin and Mr. Shi in front of him were not ordinary people.

What does it mean to shoot oneself in the foot? What does it mean to be unable to dismount?

Li Jiayu faced this very embarrassing situation.

"I think the top-quality Tieguanyin collected by Mr. Qin is very good. How about we continue to taste it?" Li Mo suddenly suggested.

"I also think the Tieguanyin tastes good, and it has its own merits as Dahongpao." Shilao walked directly to the coffee table, which was to give everyone a step down.

Mr. Li looked at his grandson and felt a sense of disappointment in his heart for no reason. Is this the heir to whom he had given hope?

Without even a bit of courage, such a person will never fall into the eyes of Mr. Qin.

He is not ambitious enough and courageous. Perhaps Mr. Qin has seen through his nature a long time ago, so he has made excuses not to agree to the marriage.

"Shilao, don't be in a hurry about tea tasting. If you want to drink it, you can drink it every day. Now I am interested in what Li Mo just said. No matter what the problem with this calligraphy is, I still want to find out. Otherwise, you

It’s not interesting for two young people to point their fingers at malt.”

His grandson didn't have the courage, but he couldn't let the matter just end like this.

Li Mo looked at Mr. Qin.

Mr. Qin and Mr. Shi looked at each other and said with a smile: "Curiosity is everyone's nature. We two old guys are also quite curious. If you have any different conclusions, just tell us."
