There was nothing to say all night. The next day, Li Yi came to the house of two masters with gifts and briefly talked about this trip to Europe. Li Yi took out the work that Zhang Ruitu and Wang Duo collaborated.

"Huh? Zhang Ruitu's word?"

Hu Jinquan glanced at the signature at a glance, looked at it carefully for a moment, and then used his fingers to flick the air twice, and said with a smile:

"Xiao Yi is probably getting a big leak again. Isn't this article expensive?"

Li Yi nodded. Three authentic works and one old imitation cost him a total of 1 million euros. The price seems to be not low, but in fact, even if all of them are taken according to works that are difficult to distinguish between true and false, it may be a bit difficult to shoot 2 million yuan for these four, but 1 million yuan is definitely not enough to beat, but it is true.

"This article has some problems, and I'm afraid it can't be explained by a simple authentic one..."

Hu Jinquan was about to say something else, but Zhong Haoqing suddenly interrupted, then picked up the magnifying glass, stared at the blurry seal carefully and started looking at it.

"In the history of Chinese calligraphy and painting, there are countless literati and scholars named Taoist. However, after Zhang Ruitu, there were not many calligraphers and painters named Taoist and four characters. There were almost two of them in his contemporaries, and they were both quite famous calligraphers..."

Zhong Haoqing held a magnifying glass and looked at the handwriting for a while, and looked at the seal, while thinking while slowly talking about her reasoning.

"You mean this seal? What can that mean?"

Before Hu Jinquan understood what was going on, Li Yi was already exclaiming in his heart. As expected, he was worthy of being a master and grasped the key point at once. It seems that the secret of this calligraphy is probably impossible to hide in her eyes.

"What does it mean? Haha, please see these words."

Hu Jinquan took the magnifying glass, looked carefully at the words pointed out by Zhong Haoqing, and asked with a frown:

"What do you want to say?"

"Haha, look at the two words next to each other, their ink is different..."

Hu Jinquan is also a master of calligraphy. Zhong Haoqing only said one of the first words, and he immediately understood.

"Yes, yes, according to common sense, after writing one character and then writing another character, the ink marks of the two characters will definitely be different, but no matter how it is, the previous character should be heavier than the next character. But the latter one is slightly heavier than the previous one. In this case, either dip ink again or change the pen, but looking at the ink marks of the previous character, there is no need to do this."

Hu Jinquan was so excited that he was like a machine gun that he explained the truth clearly. Li Yi was stunned for a moment. Fortunately, he knew that this was a work of the two people collaborated on them. He was only thinking about finding the difference in his handwriting, but he didn't expect that there was such a big flaw in the ink tracks.

"If it is like this in a place, it can be explained as an accident. However, every word you pointed out is like this, which can only explain one problem. This word was not written by one person! Well, looking at the words with this conclusion, you can indeed see some subtle differences..."

Li Yi also stretched his head to look at the words, which were all at the end of the poem. If it weren't for this, this wouldn't have happened. However, the difference between the ink traces is actually very small, and ordinary people really can't see it.

But who are they? If you don’t care and don’t see it, and you can’t see it after being reminded by someone, you will be called a calligrapher in vain.

"Well, it seems that it should be written word by one person... So, are the two really fighting?"

Hu Jinquan held a magnifying glass and started from the end of the poem, pushing forward one by one, and studying it backwards. The nuances of handwriting and regular reasoning were added to the secrets of this calligraphy.

After saying that, he focused on the unclear seal again, pondered for a while, and said:

"You said just now that there are two people who are about the same age as Zhang Ruitu. They are called four-character Taoist. What should be said are Fu Shan and Wang Duo. Moreover, the characters of these two people are like Zhang Ruitu, and they are both known for being strange and stubborn and crazy... This is Wang Duo's character! This seal is a Taoist Taoist! Hahaha, it's really amazing!"

Seeing Hu Jinquan reaching the conclusion with a decisive conclusion, Zhong Haoqing laughed and glanced at Li Yi.

"Xiao Yi, you took out this letter first today. Did you keep the intention of taking the teacher exam? You kid are really brave!"

"Hehe, that master, I just guessed that this might be a poem written by two people together, but I can't make up my mind. By the way, how do you know that it must be Wang Duo instead of Fu Shan?"

"Haha, people have age, and characters also need age. Whether it is characters or paintings, they ultimately express the voice of calligraphers and painters. Therefore, a person's handwriting is different at different ages. This character should be written by Zhang Ruitu in his later years, so his handwriting is so sophisticated but his sharpness is slightly hidden. On the other hand, the other person is different. He should be in his prime. Although he is mature in his pen and ink, his mind is different."

"Although these three are in the same era, Zhang Ruitu is 22 years older than Wang Duo and more older than Fu Shan. He should be in his 30s, right?"

"37 years old!"

"Yes, when Zhang Ruitu was old, Fu Shan should be young. Not to mention whether he has this writing power, but his spirit should be higher and more elevated than the word. At that time, Wang Duo was in his prime, so this must be Wang Duo's word!"

"Also, at that time, Wang Duo and Zhang Ruitu were both called together with Dong Qichang. There are rumors about the Southern Zhang Beidong and Southern Dong Beiwang, so it is very likely that the two of them would not convince each other and compete with each other."

Hu Jinquan said it smoothly and simply told everything he saw.

"You see, the general collaborative works should be one sentence for each person, and they don't deliberately pursue the same handwriting, but this article is different. This article not only has the handwriting very similar, but also changes words one by one, which is already a close fight. So I guess, this should be the two of them made an appointment, and neither of them wrote in the most common fonts of handwriting, but the taste in calligraphy cannot be hidden, and they dare not hide it, because whoever hides it will lose..."

Hu Jinquan said as he stared at the calligraphy and paintings and was amazed.

"The more you look at this article, the more you taste, the stronger it feels. It seems that both of you are trying your best. It's amazing, it's amazing, it's priceless!"

Zhong Haoqing knew Li Yi's identification level better than Hu Jinquan. When he saw that his old Hu was excited, he actually said so many things. He couldn't help but look at Li Yi helplessly. Unexpectedly, he saw that he would listen with relish. He was stunned and nodded with satisfaction. This child is really filial, and is coaxing Lao Hu!

However, what she didn't expect was that Li Yi really listened to it. Although he had become a disciple of her, because of his appraisal level, she rarely told him about these things. When she was with him, she said more about his calligraphy.

Therefore, although Li Yi usually starts with artistic conception, handwriting, and ink marks, it is the first time he has heard others appraisal a work so systematically and rigorously, and it is not easy...

Seeing Hu Jinquan dominating his work without putting it down, Zhong Haoqing shook his head helplessly, pointed to another scroll brought by Li Yi and asked:

"Whose work is that one?"

"Haha, it is a work imitating Tang Bohu, but it should be an imitation of the Ming Dynasty, so it also has certain collection value."

Li Yi took the imitation of Tang Bohu bought from Flangsova and spread it onto the coffee table.

"Well, this painting is indeed well painted, and at least 60% of Tang Bohu's skills are. What's rare is that it is indeed a Ming painting... After going there for so long this time, what's the point of gaining something?"

Zhong Haoqing picked up the magnifying glass, finished reading the painting carefully, raised her head, stared at Li Yi with a smile and said.

She likes Li Yi's behavior very much. It's like a child getting good things outside and then proudly bringing them to his parents to present treasures. This represents the child's intimacy with his parents.

"How can it be? There is a big guy. I don't know if the two masters are interested, so I put them in the car and didn't bring them up."

"Oh? What?"

Hu Jinquan lowered his head and studied it for a long time, but he felt that this painting of Tang Bohu was not real, but he could not make a judgment directly like Li Yi and Zhong Haoqing. He was a little discouraged and couldn't help asking when he heard something else.

"A Ming Dynasty gold cloud dragon pattern vermilion lacquer roof box is quite large..."

While speaking, Li Yi called Gu Feng who was guarding the car and asked him to deliver the box. As for how to reveal that there were even more precious treasures hidden inside, he had already arranged it.

He considered this issue when he was considering bringing the roof box back to China. If it was still like before and there was no flaw at all, I was afraid that no one would find the secret inside. So after he decided to open it in China, he tampered with the cover of the box.

He gently cut a long gap on the edge of the wooden board that formed a mezzanine lining the top lining of the box. If most people don’t pay attention, they will think that this is a ridge of the wood due to poor storage. However, he believes that although Zhong Haoqing is not good at identifying ancient furniture, with her eyesight and careful look, she will definitely find this flaw.

Moreover, even if she couldn't find it, he could guide him. As long as he pretended to arouse the old lady's suspicion, he would take on a lot of things next. Anyway, it was just a layer of lining wooden boards, and even if it was damaged, it would not affect the value of the wooden box.

Soon, the box was sent up by Gu Feng. He only knew that the wooden box was so exquisite and well preserved. Zhong Haoqing, who was as careful as hair, did not disappoint Li Yi, and soon discovered the suspicious place.
