"Ms. Janice Devin, it is my honor that you like this collection so much." Chen Ou naturally did not dare to take credit. He responded humbly with ancient and elegant aristocratic etiquette. Everyone's praise immediately made the entire venue excited.
The atmosphere reached a climax.
"Come on, let's go over there and have a look." Chen Ou extended his hand to guide everyone and continued to lead everyone to another place.
At this time, Su Fei stepped forward and began to observe the oil painting carefully. Among other things, the delicate brushwork and the control of the details of the characters' expressions were simply wonderful and breathtaking.
Although the oil painting is hung on the wall, it is sealed by a thick and transparent prism, making it impossible to view it closely.
Su Fei picked up the magnifying glass and looked at it for a while, shook his head, smiled slightly at the staff in the internal exhibition hall and said, "Please bring me a telescope, thank you."
Every gesture of his hands and feet showed his aristocratic demeanor.
The noble and elegant temperament immediately made the staff stunned. It was only after Su Mei reminded her that she finally realized and hurriedly fetched a telescope specially designed for observing large collections.
"Do you know how to identify? This thing seems to be very difficult. I have never been able to learn it." Su Mei also picked up a magnifying glass from the staff, looked at it casually and shook her head: "It's too difficult, I don't know anything."
can not tell."
Su Fei couldn't help but let out a chuckle: "When you see more, you will naturally become good at it."
Meng Lin's beautiful eyes suddenly flashed twice: "Brother Su Fei, have you seen a lot of them? Why didn't I know you could appraise these antiques before?"
"This is your brother's secret." Su Fei smiled and reached out to rub Meng Lin's hair, just like a big brother doting on his sister.
Su Fei seemed to be particularly interested in the sapphire necklace around Elizabeth II's neck. He raised his head with a telescope and stared at it for a long time, and finally at a certain moment a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At this time, Chen Ou also walked around with the guests.
Seeing that Su Fei was carefully observing this oil painting, Chen Ou asked in surprise: "Mr. Su can also appraise?"
"I understand." Su Fei put down the telescope and handed it to the staff, but then just shook his head and said nothing.
Su Mei was outspoken and couldn't help but ask: "Su Fei, did you see something?"
When Su Mei said this, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone, including the old woman Janice and Chen Ou, because this painting and the sapphire necklace are still shocking their hearts!
Su Fei couldn't help but shrugged and smiled helplessly: "Do you really want to say it?"
Su Fei's actions immediately made everyone a little stunned, because at this time everyone focused on Su Fei, and finally discovered the huge contrast between his clothes and behavior. It was like a nobleman wearing poor people's clothes, which was disconcerting.
Dare to believe it!
Chen Ou naturally recognized Su Fei's demeanor like Su Mei, but the old woman Janice and the others were even more surprised, because Su Fei's behavior was exactly the same as some ancient European court etiquette from the sixteenth century!
Although this etiquette has undergone many changes over hundreds of years, its core nobility and elegance have never changed!
Everyone began to look at Su Fei again!
Chen Ou glanced at Su Mei in surprise. At this time, Su Mei finally couldn't help but smile proudly: "Now you know why I let Su Fei come in."
"Young man, tell me what you think." The old woman Janice spoke first. She was obviously the most concerned about this oil painting.
"Then let me tell you, don't be angry."
When Su Fei opened his mouth, he spoke in a standard Ying-style accent, which was so tactful that Chen Ou couldn't help but glance at him again.
Su Fei paused for a moment, then stretched out his hand to lead to the oil painting behind him: "The oil painting is indeed Biconnuo's authentic work, but the sapphire necklace is not a royal collection from the sixteenth century. Mr. Chen Ou, you have been deceived."
"What, you said that sapphire necklace is fake? Impossible!"
"You are too trusting, young man, how is this possible! We have seen so many collections in the world, and we can still tell which ones are real and which ones are fake."
"I thought you were going to say something lofty, but I didn't expect it to be grandstanding! Today's young people, hum!"
…………
For a moment, all the foreign guests had serious faces, and the little good impression Su Fei had managed to bring to them was instantly gone!
If they weren't all very well-educated collectors, I'm afraid they would have scolded Su Fei right away instead of using such sarcastic words!
Chen Ou also blushed at Su Fei's words. He thought Su Fei would say something, but he didn't expect that it was specifically to save his face in front of foreign guests!
Chen Ou frowned and glanced at Su Fei coldly, and couldn't help but let out a soft snort: "Mr. Su, Chen Ou feels that his eyesight is quite good, but since you think this is fake, then just treat him as Chen.
Eyes!"
The originally fiery atmosphere instantly turned cold due to Su Fei's words, and those eyes were like sharp ice edges piercing into Su Fei's face. Although there was no physical pain, the pain penetrated deep into the soul!
Su Mei didn't expect that Su Fei actually said this, so she couldn't help but nudge Su Fei with her elbow, but that was all, because if she did too much, she would inevitably attract everyone's hatred!
Meng Lin was so frightened by these looks that she hid behind Su Fei!
Feeling the raging anger of the people surrounding him, Su Fei raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled helplessly: "I knew this would happen, so I would rather not say it."
"It doesn't matter. This is also an authentic work. There's nothing wrong with admiring it like this, haha."
After saying that, Su Fei pulled Meng Lin and walked aside. As he walked, he stroked Meng Lin's hair and said, "It's okay. There's nothing to be afraid of. You don't want to stay here anyway. Let's go home."
"Young man, please stay!"
A voice immediately interrupted Su Fei's departure. It was none other than the old woman from Yingguo named Janice.
She had been silent since just now, as if she was thinking about something. She was forced to speak when she saw Su Fei was about to leave.
"I would like to hear your views."
Janice showed a kind smile to Su Fei and Meng Lin, and said slowly: "I just looked at it for a long time. Although there seems to be no problem in any aspect, I always feel that there is something wrong with the place where the necklace is. Maybe the young man
You can answer my doubts."
As soon as Janice said this, everyone was a little surprised. You must know that Janice has the most say about this painting and this sapphire necklace!
Su Fei couldn't help but chuckle: "Then I said, you are not allowed to call me nonsense."
"That's natural." Janice stepped forward with a smile, pulled Meng Lin to her side, and signaled that Su Fei could start.
Su Fei cleared her throat and spoke very clearly: "What I just said is that this painting is indeed a treasure of Biconno, but he is not enough to prove that this necklace is a collection of Elizabeth II in the 16th century. The reason is actually very simple."
“Because that necklace didn’t even appear in the original painting by Biconno!”
Su Fei's few words made everyone confused, even Chen Ou. Only the old woman Janice's face showed all the expressions she was thinking about, and in an instant she suddenly realized!
Seeing Janice's sudden realization, Su Fei smiled and said: "Everyone has been misled by this painting. In fact, this sapphire necklace does not appear in Biconno's original painting at all, but was added artificially by later generations for some purpose."
Yes, that’s why I said that this painting does not prove that the necklace was the collection of Elizabeth II in the 16th century!”
The group of people were stunned at first, and then one by one they grabbed the magnifying glass from the hands of the staff and looked at the neck of Elizabeth II on the oil painting. However, because the painting was too high, the magnifying glass could not see it clearly!
Chen Ou also discovered this, and suddenly thought of why Su Fei asked someone to get the telescope, and hurriedly shouted: "Why are you still standing there, go get the telescope!"
Janice also took out a telescope and looked up for a long time, and then her eyes lit up!
Not only him, but other people also discovered abnormalities one after another! But one or two of them couldn't tell what the problem was. They racked their brains but couldn't figure it out, and they were sweating profusely!
The same was true for Chen Ou. He took a deep breath, and when the staff handed him a wet tissue, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked Su Fei: "Mr. Su Fei, can you explain to everyone what is going on?"
Something happened."
His tone and attitude were so humble that he felt like a completely different person!
Su Mei, who was also behind, couldn't help but open her lips in surprise, because everyone's appearance said everything, Su Fei actually saw the problem!
But Meng Lin had a proud look on her face. If she hadn't been surrounded by foreign guests at this moment, I'm afraid she would have jumped up for joy immediately, and then shouted loudly: "Brother Su Fei is the best!"
"Everyone just has preconceptions, which affects their judgment. In fact, you can find the problem if you look carefully." Su Fei exudes an elegant and elegant temperament, and her elegant and classic temperament makes people look at her.
"Everyone knows that blue has always been an extremely precious color in the past. The more blue pigments are used in paintings, the higher the price."
"In the 16th century, the blue pigment in the palace was still extracted from lapis lazuli according to the ancient method. It was basically the same in the East and the West, but you can take a closer look."
Su Fei stretched out her hand to guide the direction of the sapphire necklace in the oil painting.
"Although this blue color is very similar to the deep blue extracted from lapis lazuli, it is slightly different in light transmittance and refractive properties, indicating that it is simply another material, and it also proves that it was added artificially later.
"
Everyone once again picked up the telescope and observed it for a long time, and finally realized it one by one!
"What a terrible life! What a terrible life! You have discovered all this!"
"It's a waste that we have been working hard in the collecting world for decades, but we really made a mistake. Yes, this is not a pigment refined from lapis lazuli."
"Hey, we are all so preoccupied with seeing whether this painting is an authentic work by Biconno, we only look at the details, but we don't notice this. It's really shameful, shameful!"
