The people in the room were a little strange, what is the logic of this? Even Fatty Xu, who had been sitting there drinking tea, walked over and took a look, wondering what the secret was in this calligraphy.

Only Boss Chen's face looked a little unnatural, and he opened his mouth but did not speak.

Cui Shiying asked: "Doctor Zeng, can you tell me the reason, so that we can all have a better understanding of where this calligraphy is fake?" Cui Shiying was very puzzled. With his many years of experience in calligraphy appraisal, this calligraphy It's absolutely true.

"It may be a little hard to accept it, but it is true!" Zeng Yi pointed to the calligraphy, "I don't know any calligraphy. I observed it from the perspective of medical skills. According to my observation, the person who wrote this calligraphy The man, whose breath was exhausted at that time, will die within seven days after writing this calligraphy, and no medicine or stone can save him. Dong Qichang is a famous calligrapher with a long life. If this is his early work, it would go against the common sense of medical doctors. "

The ancients said: Calligraphy, writing, and painting all have a certain spirit running through them, so we can see the calligrapher's poverty and longevity. If his writing style is round and fluent, the person must be tactful and sophisticated, such as the great calligrapher Zhao who abandoned Zhao Touyuan. Meng Fu's writing style is vigorous and deep, and his character must be loyal and unyielding, such as Yan Zhenqing.

When looking at calligraphy, in addition to looking at the font shape, you also need to look at the strength and integrity of the characters.

Lao Zuo is a person who loves calligraphy. He believes that calligraphy has spirit. After hearing Zeng Yi's words, he stepped forward and observed it carefully again. Finally, he shook his head and said: "I can't tell, this calligraphy is really interesting." Not allowed."

After finishing speaking, he sat back in his seat, took a sip of tea, and said: "I once saw a story in an ancient book from the Qing Dynasty, "Oupi Yuhua", about the great calligrapher and physician Fu Qingzhu in the early Qing Dynasty. .Once Fu Qingzhu was drunk and wrote a wild sketch, then went to bed. When he got up the next day, he read it again. Suddenly he felt sad and said that his life would not last long. When his son asked him why, he said that he could tell from the words. It turned out that he was dead and dying soon. Fu Qingzhu's son then admitted that this calligraphy was not written by you, father, but that I copied it after you went to bed last night. Fu Qingzhu was even more sad and said that if this was the case, he would be afraid. Your life will not last long. Shortly after the incident, Fu Qingzhu’s son passed away, which was a huge blow to Fu Qingzhu.”

Putting down the tea cup, Lao Zuo sighed: "I didn't expect that Dr. Zeng and Fu Qingzhu are both masters of Qi observation. It's a pity that it's hard to say whether the calligraphy on this painting is true or false."

Dong Hongfeng looked at Boss Chen at this time and said: "Old Chen, since you bought this calligraphy in exchange for it, can you tell me the origin?"

Boss Chen looked a little disappointed, waved his hand, and said angrily: "I just got it from shopping, what's there to say?"

Lao Zuo frowned slightly. This was not how Boss Chen should behave. Normally when there was a dispute about authenticity, he would glare and try his best to defend his opinion. Why did he look so uninterested today?

After comparing and thinking carefully, Lao Zuo suddenly understood. Damn it, this man named Chen must have known that this calligraphy was fake for a long time. The things he brought today were judged to be fake by everyone, so he scanned them. To save face, I took out this calligraphy and wanted to test everyone's eyesight. Unfortunately, I deceived all the experts, but Zeng Yi, a doctor, saw through it at a glance.

In the antique industry, it is very difficult to become famous, so the more famous you are, the more you cherish your reputation. Like today, three experts can appraise things for free for two laymen. In itself It's already very rare, but what I didn't expect is that there are people who deliberately stumble to make you stumble.

Lao Zuo was very angry and knocked the tea cup on the table. You, Chen, must have suffered too much. You didn’t have enough eyesight to buy a fake. How can you blame everyone else? No one put a knife to your neck.

God forces you to buy those guys.

Cui Shiying was a scholar and could not imagine Lao Chen's crooked bowels. He looked at Zeng Yi and said: "Dr. Zeng, your reason does sound reasonable, but from the perspective of calligraphy and painting appraisal, it is difficult to hold water.

Are there any other reasons for your judgment that this calligraphy is fake?"

Zeng Yi shook his head and said with a smile: "I have already told you that I don't know calligraphy. I just want to share my opinion from the perspective of medical skills."

Zeng Yi was modest, but did not say that his opinion might be wrong, which showed that he was very confident in his judgment. "These are all people in the collection industry. You can take this calligraphy to the circle and ask about it.

Maybe there is another one with this calligraphy."

When other people appraise calligraphy, they look at the style. When Zeng Yi appraises calligraphy, he looks at the strength of the characters. Just like when we recognize people, we look at a person's appearance and height, but Zeng Yi relies on his pulse. He remembers it.

Once you know a person's pulse, you recognize that person.

Calligraphy can be disguised, but character is difficult to disguise. Zeng Yi had seen Dong Qichang's calligraphy before, and he dared to believe that this calligraphy was not authentic, but copied by a master. Since it was copied, the original must exist.

As long as you ask around in the circle, you might be able to find out if anyone else has collected such a calligraphy, and then the authenticity will become apparent.

When Boss Chen heard this, the hand holding the teacup shook. Panic flashed across his face. He forced a smile and said, "Do you have any other opinions on this word?"

Cui Shiying shook his head and said: "At present, it is me, Lao Zuo, and Lao Dong. The three of us believe that it is authentic. Dr. Zeng took a unique approach and believed that it was fake from a medical point of view. It seems that the opinions on authenticity are not very unified. Chen

The boss will ask someone else to help identify it."

Cui Shiying smiled. He said this to save face for Zeng Yi, and did not directly say that Zeng Yi was wrong.

Boss Chen stood up and said, "Since everyone has no other opinions, let me tell you the origin of this character!"

Dong Hongfeng's nose was so angry that he said, "Old Chen, you are so good at picking things up. It would be great if you told me earlier. You can't tell me until everyone has finished the appraisal. You are testing my old Dong's eyesight."

"If you tell it in advance, it won't be interesting!" Cui Shiying smiled, "Old Chen, tell it and let us learn a lot."

"This calligraphy is indeed a copy!" Lao Chen smiled, and the muscles in the corners of his mouth twitched. He had no choice. If he really let these people go to the circle to inquire, he would be very embarrassed today. I'm afraid

From now on, no one would dare to deal with him in the antique world. Not only did he know that this calligraphy was fake, he also knew where the real one was and who made the fake one.

"Copying?"

Dong Hongfeng reacted very fiercely. He took out a magnifying glass and immediately leaned over the calligraphy scroll to identify it. Is there something he didn't notice? Impossible. How could I have seen it wrong? This is obviously his ancestor.

The real thing.

Cui Shiying was also greatly surprised. He walked over with a puzzled look on his face and looked at the calligraphy again. He was able to make three appreciators take notice at the same time. This calligraphy was not simple.

"The three of you didn't see the mystery today. In fact, you are not unfair at all. If I tell you who copied this calligraphy, you will understand." Boss Chen showed a hint of pride on his face, "This calligraphy is by He Changzhi.

The handwriting of the old gentleman, because I have some friendship with him, he donated this calligraphy to me, and the original is currently preserved in the hands of his eldest son."

"Ah~, so that's it!"

Cui Shiying nodded frequently, with a "reasonable but unexpected" expression. He Changzhi is a master of contemporary calligraphy. His best calligraphy is Dong Qichang's calligraphy. He can completely fake it and look real. If this calligraphy was written by him,

It's not a shame that he didn't recognize it. Many people who were more powerful than him had fallen into the hands of He Changzhi in the past.

Dong Hongfeng held a magnifying glass in his hand with a strange expression on his face, "I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, it's incredible!"

Boss Chen said with a sad tone again, "This calligraphy can be regarded as Mr. He's final work. He passed away three days after writing this calligraphy."

Lao Zuo stared at Boss Chen, and as expected, I guessed it right. You, old man, were not very kind today. If Dr. Zeng hadn't been here today, I'm afraid the whole circle would have known about the three of us missing out together tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Lao Zuo couldn't help but be horrified. It turns out that the records about Fu Qingzhu in the book are all true. There are really people in this world who can judge the authenticity of calligraphy by looking at Qi, and can even determine the life and death of calligraphy.

Zeng Yi's status in Lao Zuo's heart immediately rose a lot. Lao Zuo didn't take the prescription Zeng Yi prescribed for him seriously before, but now he doesn't dare to have the slightest doubt. Although Zeng Yi looks young, he is

He is already a generation of masters who can rival all the medical experts.

Cui Shiying looked at the calligraphy and sighed, "Mr. He's death is probably related to this calligraphy. To be able to achieve such a degree of authenticity, he must have put in a lot of effort, so that he wasted his mind and life.

Overdraft."

Dong Hongfeng was also a little disappointed, "Old Chen, please keep this calligraphy carefully. Its value is only higher than Dong Qichang's original work."

After saying that, he sat down in his seat, was stunned for a moment, and said with emotion: "Today, my old Dong has opened his eyes. He saw such authentic calligraphy and learned Dr. Zeng's amazing skills. This trip is not in vain.

It’s a worthwhile trip. I’ll pay for today’s tea!”

Lao Zuo immediately raised his eyebrows, "Everything is charged to my account today, which is regarded as the consultation fee I paid to Dr. Zeng!"

"Bah! You can say this!" Dong Hongfeng puffed his beard and glared, "Since it is Dr. Zeng's medical fee, it is Dr. Zeng's treat. Why are you saying so generously? I have seen through you. You are

A complete miser, generous to others!"

Lao Zuo was used to being said like this by his old friends, so he wasn't angry and said, "You don't care who's treating you, in the end I'll pay for it, right?"

Zeng Yi smiled and said, "These are all seniors. I should be the one to treat you to the tea today!"

Cui Shiying waved his hand, "Why are you being so polite? Even if you come here to drink every day, you still won't be able to drink from Lao Zuo. It's rare that he is generous, let him pay today, otherwise we people will not be balanced, haha."

A few people were sitting there chatting, but Boss Chen was obviously left out. Everyone was not a fool. After thinking about it afterwards, they understood what he was thinking. This kind of person is not worthy of close friendship.

When leaving, Lao Zuo took out a card and handed it to Zeng Yi, "Doctor Zeng, this is our Youranju diamond card. Come to my place for tea when you are free from now on, and I will give it to you for all your expenses."

20% off!”

Dong Hongfeng pointed at Lao Zuo, "I come here to drink every day, and you never give me a 20% discount!"

"If you know how to cure insomnia, I will give you 20% off immediately!" Lao Zuo glared.

Cui Shiying was used to these two people being noisy. He went over and grabbed Zeng Yi and said: "I cured my wife's illness a few days ago, but I haven't had time to thank you yet. I have already made arrangements for the evening. I will prepare a glass of wine and chat."

I would like to express my gratitude and ask Doctor Zeng to honor me."

ps: In the calligraphy world, Fu Qingzhu is just as famous as Dong Qichang. His original name is Fu Shan. It is said that "after Fu Shan, there will be no cursive script in China". He is an anti-Qing righteous man in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. He is erudite and proficient in various martial arts.
