Yan Zhenqing has many works of history, but most of them are stele rubbings. The ink traces that have been passed down are probably only a few of them, including "The Letter of the Son", "The Manuscript of the Nephew Ji Ming", "The Letter of Liu Zhong Envoy", and "Huzhou Letter".

Logically, Yan Zhenqing's ink writing shouldn't appear in such a store, but Li Yi encountered too many unreasonable things, and the dense seals on this copybook were filled with dozens of seals, which made him doubt that this might be a real work.

"Cai Xiang, Mi Fu, Dong Qichang, Jia Sidao, Han Fengxi, Prince Gong, Qianlong preview... Haha, he really uses everything he wants!"

Li Yi first read the content of the copybook briefly and focused his attention on these collection seals. When he recognized that these seals contained so many celebrities, he knew that this copybook was definitely not true.

He made this judgment definitely not that he really saw that these seals were suspected of being forged. In fact, if he did not compare carefully, it would be difficult to find the problem from the seal. The basis for his inference was mainly based on the owner of these seals.

Generally speaking, many of the calligraphy masters like Cai Xiang, Mi Fu, and Dong Qichang don’t simply stamp a collection of appreciation seals. They are often keen on adding inscriptions to these collections. The more famous the works they are, the more they will be like this. What’s more, this is Yan Zhenqing’s ink writings, so how can they be easily let go?

Another, such an orderly circulated work will definitely be recorded in some related documentary documents, but in the impression of interests, there is no memory of this copybook.

This is not to say that Li Yi dares to be sure that the records he has read include everything and remember everything. However, if the things such as countless celebrities are not recorded in some famous large-scale documents, even if they are recorded in some pheasant documents, it cannot explain its authenticity. On the contrary, those fakes are likely to be based on those documents.

Let’s talk about memory, let alone Li Yi’s memory has increased so much now that he can almost never forget it. Even if he really forgets something, he will never forget such an important work.

In his opinion, the biggest problem with this copybook is that it is too greedy. If it can be less sealed and less famous, it is possible to create a genuine and false original work of Yan Zhenqing with its foundation and age-old level.

In this way, even if it will cause huge controversy, the controversy itself means that some people recognize it. At that time, it will be OK if you only need to sell it to those who recognize it.

After gently brushing his fingertips on the work, Li Yi was surprised to find that such a fake painting actually felt cold. He couldn't help but look at the appraisal conclusion drawn by the spirit card.

"I'll go! This is a slight extravagant person, and he's tireless in teaching!"

The appraisal results of the spirit card made Li Yi laugh and cry because this work is actually the original work of Tan Yankai, known as the "master of Yanshu in modern times"!

Tan Yankai was a famous politician and calligrapher during the Republic of China. His life experience was legendary. Not only was he called the "Three Princes of Hunan and Xiang" together with Chen Sanli and Tan Sitong, he was called the "Four Princes of Reform" together with Chen Sanli, Xu Renzhu and Tao Jucun. He also served as the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the Governor of Hunan, the Governor of Hunan Army, the Chairman of the Nanjing National Government, the President of the Executive Yuan, and the rank of general and the Grand Marshal of the Army.

What’s even more amazing is that he is actually the founder of Kuan Xiangcai, known as the “source of Hunan cuisine”!

Moreover, at that time, Sun Yat-sen intended to introduce Soong Mei-ling to him as a refrain, but not only was this guy rejected, but in the end, he actually became the introducer who married Soong Mei-ling!

Tan Yankai was extremely talented. According to legend, when she participated in the Qing Dynasty's scientific examination, she was almost selected as the top scorer. However, when Empress Dowager Cixi was about to write about her name, she found that he was from Hunan and had a surname of Tan. She immediately remembered the "rebellious traitor" Tan Sitong, whom she hated the most, so she changed to another candidate, while Tan Yankai was demoted to the 35th Jinshi in the second grade.

In addition to these anecdotes, Tan Yankai's own achievements in calligraphy are also very impressive. He was once hailed "No one who has learned Yan has surpassed his predecessors since the Republic of China". His imitation of Yan's regular script is even considered to be a work that can be confused by the truth!

However, it was such a work that was used to fake it as the original calligraphy of Yan Zhenqing, and Li Yi didn't know what to say for a moment.

However, since he confirmed that this was Tan Yankai's ink writing, Li Yi was somewhat interested in studying it. Therefore, while listening to Tan Moxuan and his boss's bidding, he slowly copied this copybook on the table with his fingers, which was quite enjoyable.

"Then it's 2.72 million! If you want to tell me again at this price, I won't sell this painting!"

Just as Li Yi was gradually immersed in the pleasure of copying, suddenly, a price caught his attention, 2.72 million?

I'll go! The price is 16 million. After a while, I was killed to 2.72 million! Although Zhou Chen's works are normal, they are just a little higher than this one, but...

A burst of sadness surged in his heart. nnd. If it were based on this ratio, none of his previous transactions would have suffered any loss. Moreover, they were not small losses, but they were the kind of big losses that they lost to death and lost their homes!

"Okay, maybe this boss is also a big deal, and he is deeply involved in the essence of asking for prices..."

Li Yi could only comfort himself like this and silently prayed that the bosses he had met before had a conscience and did not inflate the price to such a level. As for what price he could accept if this work was replaced by him, he no longer dared to think about this question.

"Sir, are you still interested in this work? If you are interested, please make friends with me?"

The boss is a powerful figure who can see all directions and listen to all directions. He is skilled and unconventional and talks with Tan Moxuan. On the other hand, he has noticed Li Yi's expression and actions for a long time, so he naturally knows that he is actually very interested in this copybook.

"Oh? It's cheaper? How much?"

He exchanged a look with Tan Moxuan and signaled that Zhou Chen's work was almost done. Li Yi turned to face the boss and showed an interest.

“80 million!”

With a "puff", Li Yi almost squirted on the spot. Although Yan Zhenqing's works are absolutely valuable, you don't even look at what occasion and what environment this is. You actually have 80 million words. Why don't you just shout 200 million in "The Ming of the Pigeon"?

"Is this a mantra of the boss?"

"no."

"No? Then I really didn't realize that you are a hidden billionaire, boss! The price of this article is not cheap, right? But what I'm even more curious is who actually transferred such a work to you..."

The boss is worthy of being a master of the battle formation for a long time. It seems that he didn't hear the ridicule that was almost overflowing from Li Yi's words, and he still said seriously:

"This is collected by my old man from an old scholar who was labeled and locked in a cow cage more than 40 years ago. It didn't cost much at that time. Why, a genuine work of Yan Zhenqing, do you think it's too expensive?"

Li Yi shook his head laughed and cried. He found that his skin was simply the difference between gables and city walls compared to this person... No, this metaphor seems to be inappropriate, because he seems to have a thick skin...

"100,000!"

Now it’s the boss’ turn to criticize me. I’m asking for a price of 80 million, but you actually bargained for 100,000? 100,000 is not enough for me to engrave a seal. This is simply something that my uncle can’t bear tolerate even my aunt!

"100,000 is not enough...1 million, there is no need to negotiate lower than this price!"

The boss was almost taken to the ditch by Li Yi, but fortunately he stopped in time and opened his mouth and gave a reliable price.

"This is a work by Tan Yankai of the Republic of China. You can talk to him."

The market price of Tan Yankai's works is not very high. For example, a large-character couplet, which is the most popular calligraphy collection category, only about 200,000 yuan per piece. As for other calligraphy works, the price is even lower, and one is often found in just over 100,000 yuan. This is completely inconsistent with his calligraphy artistic attainments, life experiences, social influences, etc., but this is the case in the collection market. It can be said that calligraphers and painters who are not sought after by collectors are super pitiful.

"Tan Yankai? If it was Tan Yankai's work, your price would be higher!"

Tan Moxuan murmured and repeated Tan Yankai's name, then turned his head and complained in a low voice, the voice was so small that the boss could hear it.

"Damn it! You can even recognize this!"

When the boss heard that Li Yi actually recognized whose work he was, he was shocked, but he did not show it at all on the outside. His only reaction was that his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had encountered a cat with prey.

"Boss, although I'm bickering with you, this is the boss."

Tan Moxuan pointed at Li Yi and continued:

"The boss just now has nodded. Actually, I mean 2.68 million. As for this one... Forget it, since the boss has called it out, I won't press down. The two works together are 2.82 million, and I'll give you another fraction of them, 2.8 million. What do you think?"

"puff!"

Now the boss is really criticizing you, your sister, is it a waste of not bargaining for 1 million yuan that I just said? Even if it is a waste of time, you didn’t bargaining for 20,000 yuan while saying that you didn’t bargaining for another 20,000 yuan. Are all the fractions in your family in units of tens of thousands?

"Okay, okay, can I be afraid of you? Whether it's 2.82 million or 2.8 million, I won't sell them! I won't sell these two works!"
Chapter completed!
