Chapter 9: A Fake Painting Far Beyond the Original

"Don't get me wrong." Pei Miao smiled slightly, and said, "I don't mean anything malicious, and I'm not from Zhao's Antique Store, I'm just a customer who went to Zhao's Antique Store to buy things, unfortunately I didn't see anything good, but I saw your painting just now, but I think your painting is pretty good, I wonder if you can let me have a look."

"You want to buy?"

Pei Miao said: "It's too early to buy it now, at least you have to let me take a good look at it first, right?"

Mr. He hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Then find a place." After he finished speaking, he looked around and found a wonton shop across the street. He pointed his finger and said, "Go to that wonton shop and open it to see .”

So they crossed the street and entered the wonton shop. They didn’t have lunch, so they ordered three bowls of wontons. Since there was oil on the table in the wonton shop, they asked the proprietress for a clean rag to wipe the glass on the table thoroughly. , after scrubbing, wipe it clean with a dry cloth, and then carefully wipe it twice with a paper towel to make sure the tabletop is clean and dry. Then unfold the painting on the table. The painting is too long to fully unfold, but you can already see more than half of the painting content.

Pei Miao stared at the painting for a moment, then asked, "Can I get started?"

"Of course." Mr. He nodded in agreement.

Pei Miao grabbed one of the axes of the painting with her right hand. As soon as she started to grasp it, the power of her right hand was activated, and the picture was created in Pei Miao's mind. Pei Miao immediately carefully checked every detail of the painting.

What Pei Miao wanted to see was the seal of this painting. There was only one seal for this painting, and this seal was blurred. It was obvious that someone deliberately blurred the seal to cover up something.

But this is also easy to be considered as an inferior method of fraud. After all, fraudulent seals are the most difficult part. Many fake paintings have been identified because there are loopholes in the seals, which confuse the seals. The painting raises doubts, but also leaves few holes.

Pei Miao inspected the seal with supernatural powers, and was completely shocked. Although the surface of the seal was blurred, but from the inside, one could see the words on the seal. There were four characters on the seal - "Xi Shu Zhang Yuan".

Pei Miao never expected that he would be lucky enough to come across Zhang Yuan's painting. This is definitely a stroke of luck, even greater luck than winning the Mark Six lottery.

Knowing the author of this painting, Pei Miao stopped hesitating and said, "Mr. He, I think your painting is good. The painter is really good and it is worth learning. My girlfriend's grandfather loves Chinese painting very much. If his paintings are given to him to taste and study, he will be very happy."

When Xue Yang heard that Pei Miao actually said that she was his girlfriend, she immediately felt that she was being taken advantage of, so she secretly stretched out her hand and twisted the side of Pei Miao's thigh.

Pei Miao almost cried out in pain, but fortunately he held back, reached under the table, grabbed her wrist, and stopped her next attack.

As soon as the body touched, the ability of the right hand was activated, and Xue Yang's figure appeared in Pei Miao's mind. Pei Miao's eyes straightened, immersed in the wonderful picture in his mind.

Seeing that Pei Miao really wanted to buy his painting, Mr. He was overjoyed, so he quickly asked for the price: "20."

Hearing this, Pei Miao woke up from the picture in his mind, let go of Xue Yang's hand, and said, "Okay, 20, I'll buy it."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Xue Yang and said, "Pay."

Xueyang rolled his eyes and said, "Aren't you my boyfriend? How can there be a boyfriend who asks his woman to pay for it?"

"Don't make trouble." Pei Miao winked at her and urged, "Pay quickly."

Pei Miao was really anxious, for such a good painting, it would be a big mistake to buy it for 20 yuan, he was really afraid that Mr. He on the opposite side would suddenly change his mind.

Of course, Xue Yang didn't know how precious this painting was, and thought it was just a copy of the painting from the Republic of China, so he didn't care at all, and said: "We have been in love for so many years, aren't you the one who manages the money, I worked so hard To make money to support you, you can eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, but now you still ask me for money, and it is 20 yuan..."

She started acting like a demon again, calling Pei Miao a shameless scum who ate soft food.

Hearing these words, Mr. He's eyes immediately changed. He looked at Pei Miao with a trace of contempt, but more of envy.

Pei Miao was convinced of her. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, he decided to pay the money himself, and said, "Sir, don't listen to her nonsense, can I transfer the money to you?"

"Yes." Mr. He took out his mobile phone, opened a certain treasure, and clicked on his own payment code. Pei Miao also took out his mobile phone to scan, input 20, and sent it.

A few seconds later, 20 arrived.

After receiving the money, Mr. He was in a good mood. At this time, the proprietress of the wonton shop came with three bowls of wontons on a tray and said, "The wontons are ready."

Mr. He got up and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't eat. I'll treat you to dinner." After finishing speaking, he scanned the QR code to check out, and left in a hurry.

Pei Miao quickly put away the painting and asked the proprietress to put the wontons on their table.

As soon as the proprietress left, Xue Yang reached out and grabbed Pei Miao's arm, angrily said, "You took advantage of me."

Pei Miao directly hid in the seat opposite the table, and said dejectedly: "Isn't this for taking down this painting? It's not so easy to pick up the leaks. If you can act, you're an actor, so you don't know how to cooperate, and it's all messed up." .”

"Picking leaks, what leaks are you picking?" Xue Yang looked at Pei Miao suspiciously.

Pei Miao said: "This painting is a big leak."

Xue Yang looked at the painting tube, then at Pei Miao, and asked, "You mean... this painting is authentic?"

Pei Miao shook her head: "It's not an authentic painting, it's an imitation painting from the Republic of China."

"Then you still talk about picking up leaks?"

Pei Miao said: "Although this is an imitation of the Republic of China, its value is far higher than the original. The person who imitated the painting is a master of modern painting. His paintings are worth far more than Dong Qichang. Do you know how much this painting is worth? "

Xue Yang said: "From your point of view, this painting must be very expensive, can it be worth 500 million?"

Pei Miao smiled and said, "Multiply by ten."

"5000 million?" Xue Yang exclaimed in surprise.

Pei Miao said again: "Multiply by 2 again."

"One... billion?" Xue Yang was completely shocked. Although she is a celebrity and rich, a painting is worth hundreds of millions, which has overturned her cognition.

"This is just my conservative estimate." Pei Miao said, "The author of this painting is called Zhang Daqian. If I tell you about his painting style, you may not understand it. You just need to know that he is a very, very famous painting in modern times. Master, his paintings are hard to find, but if a collector can get an authentic Zhang Daqian, it will definitely be enough for him to brag about in the antique world for a lifetime."

Xueyang quickly took out her mobile phone and searched online, and she found Zhang Daqian. After a long time, she raised her head and said, "But most of Zhang Daqian's paintings on the Internet are sold for 8000-9000 million, [-]-[-] million, and even hundreds of millions. More, you can be sure that this painting can reach hundreds of millions."

Pei Miao said: "Look at when the transaction price was. How many years have passed. You don't know how much Zhang Daqian's calligraphy has room for appreciation. Zhang Daqian's paintings are not sold at all now, and there is no market for the price."

Xue Yang looked at the years of the transaction prices on the phone, and sure enough, they were all from more than ten years ago. Even if Zhang Daqian's paintings did not appreciate in value, the inflation and soaring prices in the past ten years alone are enough to prove that Zhang Daqian's paintings are now more than ten years old. The value of paintings is basically over [-] million.

"Congratulations." Xue Yang happily put away her phone, looked at Pei Miao, and said, "You are now a billionaire."

Pei Miao asked, "Aren't you going to use this painting as a birthday present for your grandfather?"

Xueyang shook his head again and again: "I don't want it, you picked it up yourself, and didn't I tell you, the price is 150 million, you want me to give a painting worth [-] million to my grandfather, my grandfather If you find out, you'll probably be so angry that you won't recognize my granddaughter."

Pei Miao smiled lightly when she heard the words, and said, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you, if you hadn't asked me to help you choose a birthday gift for grandpa, I would never have come across this painting, and half of the credit for this painting is yours."

Hearing the words, Xue Yang stretched out his hand quickly, and said with a smile: "Okay, take half of mine, 5000 million."

Pei Miao gritted her teeth when she heard the words: "That... can I owe you first?"

"Okay, I owe it first." Xue Yang withdrew his hand, smiled slyly, and said, "When I am down and out of money, I will ask you again, but there will be interest."

"No problem." Pei Miao smiled calmly and began to eat wontons. After two mouthfuls of wontons, he suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, the last time you fell off the wire on the set, you hung on your neck. A jade pendant of mine was broken, do you remember?"

"Of course I remember." Xue Yang said with a distressed expression, "It was my first birthday gift from my grandfather. I brought it up since I was a child. My grandfather said it was an amulet he asked an expert to make for me. It can save your life."

"Save your life..." Pei Miao couldn't help but fell into deep thought when she heard the words. In that accident, Xueyang saved herself from danger without even breaking her skin. Could it be that the amulet worked?

But then he felt that this idea was too nonsense, obviously he saved him, and it had half a dime relationship with the amulet.

After a while, Pei Miao asked again: "Which expert did your grandfather make for that amulet? Is there anything special about it?"

"I don't know which expert made it." Xueyang said, "Anyway, my grandfather said that a very powerful expert gave it to him. It is a magic weapon. If there is anything special about it... it is Inside the jade pendant is a trace of red, like blood."

"Blood streaks..." Pei Miao has always heard that people can nourish jade. After wearing the jade for a long time, the blood in the human body will enter the jade, so she asked, "Did you see the blood streaks in it when you were young?"

"Yeah." Xue Yang nodded, "I saw blood streaks in it when I was a child, and I asked my grandfather about it at that time, and my grandfather said that it is the magic power of an expert stored in the jade, which can protect me."

"Fa Li..." Pei Miao couldn't help rolling her eyes when she heard the words, "Your grandfather is really good at talking."

Xue Yang smiled heartlessly and said: "Haha, I thought so too, it's too ridiculous."
