Chapter 152 [152] Are You the Appraiser of Yayuan?
"Tang Feng? Why are you here?"
When Xu Xinling saw Tang Feng, she was obviously shocked.
Before Tang Feng could answer, she started talking again, "Oh, I see, you are here to pick up bargains, right?"
"You can't do this. Although you are really lucky, you can't always rely on this opportunistic way to get by."
"I think it's better for you to find a stable job. If you need help, I can introduce you to a few jobs..."
Tang Feng couldn't get a word in and was speechless.
It seems that in this woman's mind, he has become a blind drifter who relies on luck to get by.
He waited patiently for her to finish before interrupting, "I think you misunderstood. Actually, I work here."
Xu Xinling was stunned, "You work in Yayuan?"
Tang Feng nodded, "Yes, what's the problem?"
Xu Xinling's face was full of doubts, "No, I come to Yayuan often, why haven't I seen you before?"
"I just came a few days ago, it's normal that you haven't seen me."
Tang Feng explained with a smile. Since the hall was messy, he invited her to the reception room next door, "By the way, my master said you are coming to identify something today, and asked me to be responsible for receiving you. What are you going to identify?"
Xu Xinling was stunned again, "Your master? Teacher Zhang is your master? Are you an appraiser at Yayuan?"
Tang Feng poured her a cup of tea and smiled calmly, "Yes, don't you think so?"
This incident shocked Xu Xinling so much that she sat there for a long time without saying a word.
No wonder this guy is so good at gambling on stones and opening blind boxes.
It turns out that the "European Emperor" is fake, and his real identity is an appraiser?
Moreover, since Zhang Jicheng allowed him to be responsible for receiving her, he obviously felt that he already had the ability to be independent.
Although she didn't know much about the antique business, she also knew how difficult it was for an appraiser to be independent.
Not only must the appraisal ability and experience be very strong, but also the interpersonal skills must be good.
Haven't you seen that most of the appraisers in those antique shops are elderly people?
Appraisers like Tang Feng who can be entrusted with important tasks at a young age are more precious than giant pandas.
"I'm asking you a question, what are you thinking about?" Tang Feng saw that she was in a daze, so he had to stretch out his hand and wave it in front of her.
Xu Xinling then remembered the purpose of her visit this time, and hurriedly put a wooden box in her hand on the table, "I came here this time to appraise this calligraphy."
Tang Feng opened the wooden box and saw a mounted scroll inside, which was mounted with paper and silk edges.
Regardless of the quality of the work, the mounting alone is exquisite, and it is definitely the work of a mounting master.
As the saying goes: three points of calligraphy and seven points of mounting.
The quality of a work depends not only on the work itself, but also on the mounting, which can directly enhance the quality of the work.
It can be seen that the owner attaches great importance to this work.
However, when he unfolded the scroll bit by bit, his expression gradually became weird.
When he unfolded the last bit, he almost couldn't help laughing.
Isn't this the calligraphy work of Zhang Daqian that he just found in the antique street?
But his is real, and this one is a fake.
Isn't this too coincidental?
"Where did you buy this calligraphy?" He put it down calmly and turned to look at Xu Xinling.
"I didn't buy it, but my dad. He likes to collect these things. He found this calligraphy some time ago and showed it off to everyone he met." Xu Xinling couldn't help complaining about her father.
"Uh... this..."
Tang Feng didn't know how to tell her the truth.
Xu Xinling saw that he seemed to have something to hide, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong? Is there anything wrong with this calligraphy?"
Tang Feng coughed twice, "Wait a minute."
Then he got up and went inside to call out his master Zhang Jicheng.
Zhang Jicheng was admiring the calligraphy, and seeing his apprentice's expression was so strange, and he refused to explain the reason, he had to follow him out curiously.
After seeing the calligraphy brought by Xu Xinling, his expression became interesting.
Xu Xinling was displeased when she saw the two of them playing tricks. "What did you see? Can you please tell me?"
Tang Feng took the original painting from his master, spread it on the table, and turned to look at Xu Xinling. "What do you think is the difference between these two pieces of calligraphy?"
Xu Xinling looked down and was confused. "How come these two pieces of calligraphy are the same?"
Tang Feng placed the two pieces of calligraphy side by side. "Do I need to say this? Two pieces of calligraphy that are exactly the same must be a fake."
Xu Xinling looked at the two pieces of calligraphy and couldn't see any difference. "Which one is a fake?"
"Xiao Feng, please help Miss Xu explain it."
Zhang Jicheng also spoke at this time, obviously wanting to test his apprentice.
Tang Feng didn't keep the secret any longer. He first scanned it with the system, and then pointed out the suspicious points of the fake one by one.
"In fact, visual inspection is the basic skill for appraising calligraphy and painting. For professional appraisers, the first glance is often the most sensitive and profound observation..."
"For some real masters, their works have a unique momentum, which requires years of accumulation. Most imitators can only imitate their form, but not their spirit..."
"Zhang Daqian's calligraphy is known as the 'Wind Banner Style', which is characterized by a steep corner and half of the calligraphy. To put it simply, his calligraphy is very 'off-kilter'. And your work..."
He followed the system's prompts and pointed out all the doubtful points in the work brought by Cyndi Xu.
Even Zhang Jicheng on the side was secretly frightened.
He could see some of the doubts that Tang Feng pointed out, but some of them he didn't even notice.
After all, it is impossible to find out all the doubts in such a short period of time.
But the professional strength that Tang Feng showed made even his master feel ashamed.
He was extremely conflicted.
On the one hand, he felt gratified to see that his apprentice was better than his master.
On the other hand, he was worried because he was "better than blue" too fast.
He was thinking, what else could he teach him?
