Seeing this line of signature, Wan Qi showed a hint of surprise on his face. Unexpectedly, he also saw a painting by Ruhe here, but there seemed to be something wrong with this painting.

"Everyone, this is a painting I exchanged for from a friend. I thought it was very good at that time, so I changed it. The name of this painting is called "Red Apricot Branches" Spring Fun. Judging from the signature, it is Ruhe's fine-brushed flower and bird painting. However, when I was communicating with another friend, he said that my painting was a bit wrong. Later, I also found many collectors to watch it. Many people also said something was wrong. They could not determine whether this was the original work of Ruhe. Some even said it was a fake."

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and continued, "But, in my sense, I think this must be the authentic one, so I brought it here and ask everyone to help me identify it to relieve my worries."

"Ruhe's fine-brushed flowers and birds are rare. If this is an authentic work, it must be worth more than tens of millions. Mr. Qu, I don't know what you exchanged for." The old butler looked at the painting and asked curiously.

The middle-aged man surnamed Qu shook his head and sighed, "At that time, I used a blue and white dark dragon-patterned bowl from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. Someone offered me a price of 10 million yuan. I have never seen the original work of Ruhe before. When I saw this painting, I liked it very much. My friend repeatedly promised that it was the original work. Unexpectedly, he made a problematic painting in the end, so I really hope to get the correct result."

"Mr. Qu, I think there will be a result. Mr. Sun came here today and showed it to him later." The old butler smiled and comforted. In the antique business, you must have a pair of wise eyes. No one can trust you. Not to mention friends, even relatives, you may cheat you.

This painting is indeed something that people like at first glance, but if you don’t ask some experts to study it, Mr. Qu changed it, which is really a bit careless.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Mr. Sun smiled and waved his hand, "Let me see, everyone discuss it, and identify the real result, which is not necessarily the case." Modern and modern paintings have the most fakes, and the most difficult to identify, because modern and modern times are very close to the present, and some people know the painter's brushwork very well, and the fakes they make can be said to be difficult to distinguish.

Looking at this painting, Wan Qi was a little amused and crying. He didn't have the ability to see it. Fortunately, Xiao Qi was the cheater.

"Thank you, Mr. Sun, you can see it. This is the best. Please start watching and research now." Mr. Qu thanked Mr. Sun, then handed the painting to the person on the right and started watching.

"In order not to affect others' viewing, we should follow our rules and wait until everyone finishes reading, and then say their opinions one by one." Then, the old butler spoke to everyone. If someone said that this was a fake after reading it and gave reasons, then the next person will definitely have a preconceived mentality, which will be very influential for identification.

Afterwards, everyone took the painting one by one to carefully study it, but many people either frowned or shook their heads after reading the painting, and seemed to see something wrong with the painting.

When it was Wan Qi's turn to watch, he spread the painting on the table and carefully looked at every detail. The painting was indeed very exquisite and made people feel love. In the spring sun, the trees were full of red apricot flowers, and a pair of orioles flew to the branches, looking at each other, and two kingfishers flew towards the orioles, looking at them with affection and elegant posture.

In addition, there are also groups of bees picking among the flowers. The bees are diverse in species and shapes, and they are enjoyable. The whole work includes trees, flowers, bees, and birds. The pictures are lush, delicate and elegant, bright and joyful, festive and auspicious, and they make people happy and can't bear to let go.

As Wan Qi looked at his body, his brows also frowned. After carefully studying some of the details, he studied the signature. The signature was exactly the same as the original Ruhe works passed down to him by Xiao Qi. However, this painting was indeed something wrong. Could it be that it was impossible to transfer flowers and trees? He studied it again and found no traces of taking it, or that it was painted by Ruhe's disciples or later generations.

His eyes were placed on the painting and studied it again. In terms of skills, this painting is very skillful. According to rice paper, it is also something that has a history of decades. He kept thinking about some famous modern and modern fine-brush flower and bird painters, and then looking at the painter, it seemed that something appeared, and his face suddenly showed a sudden enlightenment.

After looking at it for a while, he confirmed his research results and used identification techniques to identify them. It was exactly the same as what he had studied. This painting is really strange.

"Old Sun, please take a look." Wan Qi said calmly, unable to tell whether it was identified or not.

"You kid looked at it carefully for a long time just now, and have you figured out what you have learned." Old Sun looked at Wan Qi and couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Wan Qi smiled and shook his fingers on his mouth, "Keep confidential, keep it confidential."

"I knew you kept it secret, so I'll take a look." Old Sun shook his head and smiled, then watched the painting seriously. After a while, some doubts appeared on his face and his brows also frowned.

After studying for a long time, he really did not come to the result, so he had to hand over the painting to the next person with doubts.

When the painting was sent back to the middle-aged man named Qu, more than an hour had passed. Mr. Qu looked at everyone with expectation, looking forward to the result today so that he could feel at ease.

The old butler couldn't determine whether this painting was an authentic one. Its level was very high, but if it was an authentic one, it was a little wrong. "Okay, you should have finished reading it now. I guess you have some ideas in your heart. So let's talk about your views on this painting from the first collector who just read it."

A middle-aged man was also sitting on the right side of Mr. Qu. He thought for a while and said, "I think this painting may be a fake." The middle-aged man spoke out his opinions, which also made some people at the scene nod.

The middle-aged man looked at Mr. Qu's painting next to him and continued: "This painting may be a fake reason, because I was fortunate to see the original works of Ruhe, and at the same time I have studied his painting style. He used the courtyard style painting as the basis and injected new vitality into it. He also observed and sketched the shape and charm of flowers and birds in life, and absorbed and referenced folk paintings, embroidery, and kesi."

"His fine-brushed flower and bird shapes started from Wanqi Laolian, and went back to the style of the Song Dynasty, re-skilling, polite, firm bones, and thick colors, showing lush vitality. These characteristics can also be seen in this painting, but some of the details are completely inconsistent with its style, and seem to be combined with the West, with a modern feel, and completely different from the style of Confucian He who used ancient methods."

"As for the calligraphy, it has the style of Ruhe's thin gold body, but the painting style is wrong. I guess it is a painting imitated by his descendants or disciples."

After hearing these reasonable and well-founded words, most people who thought they were fakes nodded one after another. After hearing this, Mr. Qu's face, which was originally full of expectations, suddenly became dim.

"Mr. Qu, I'm just talking about my opinion. I don't think that your painting is a fake. I hope you don't mind." The middle-aged man couldn't help but speak when he noticed the changes in Mr. Qu next to him.

Mr. Qu shook his head, "Don't worry about me, since I can take out this painting to identify it, I have already prepared it as a fake. So, if you have anything, just say it, so that I can have more knowledge about this painting."

Everyone nodded. Most people in the antique industry have had experience of slashing their eyes. It is not scary to slash them, but what is scary is that they slashed them. They didn't know that they were slashing them yet, but Mr. Qu looked very conscious now.

Wan Qi nodded slightly from the middle-aged man's words just now. From the words, he knew that this person had some understanding of Ru He.

The origin of fine-brushed flower and bird painting can be traced back to the Stone Age of more than 5,000 years until the Tang Dynasty. As painting gradually got rid of its excessive aesthetic work of art for political ethics and religion, flower and bird paintings and landscape paintings emerged as independent paintings.

By the Five Dynasties, Xu Xi and Huang Quan were each good at their own abilities. They pushed the fine-brushed flower and bird paintings to the extreme. The courtyard flower and bird paintings in the Song Dynasty were developed to directly inherit the achievements of the Southern Tang and Western Shu in the Five Dynasties. The Song Dynasty can be said to be an era of prosperity in fine-brushed flower and bird paintings, and the techniques continued to mature.

The courtyard painting generally refers to the paintings of Hanlin Academy and court painters in the Song Dynasty. In order to cater to the needs of the emperor, this type of work mostly uses flowers, birds, landscapes, and palace life as the subject matter. The works pay attention to rules and regulations, attach importance to both form and spirit, and have gorgeous and delicate styles. The fine brushwork has also been greatly developed in the courtyard.

However, the middle-aged man saw something wrong, but did not think about it carefully. Why did such an error occur in the painting? It was just to identify whether it was an authentic or a fake. With this purpose, he would naturally only look at the difference between the authentic and the fake, and would not look at the hidden things in the painting.

Then, it was Yu Luohe's turn. He first looked at Wan Qi, and then said with a smile: "I think this painting is a fake. I haven't seen it for a long time in this painting, and I have seen many things, but some people have seen it for the longest time, so I don't think he can tell any reason."

When expressing his opinion on this painting, Yu Luohe also sarcastically mocked Wan Qi, but because Wan Qi had indeed seen it for the longest time.

When many people heard Yu Luohe's words, they also frowned. Although they thought it was a fake, they just said it was possible because they were really unable to confirm. However, Yu Luohe directly said that he thought this painting was a fake. Could it be that he was really that powerful?

Next, Yu Luohe began to describe the reasons he thought it was a fake, which was basically the same as what others said before, and there was no real basis for deciding that it was a fake.

"Okay, that's my reason. The style of this painting is really different from that of Ruhe, so I can only call it a fake." Yu Luohe said very simply.

A hint of displeasure on Mr. Qu's face disappeared in an instant. Even if others said it was a fake, they would at least take care of his face. Yu Luohe was so desperate. He sighed and was not in the mood to care about anything anymore. He always thought that this painting was the real one, but it had been doubted by many people again and again. It seems that after today, this painting will really become a fake.

With a personal narration, it was Wan Qi's turn soon, and at this time, Yu Luohe also smiled, "Mr. Wan Qi has been watching it for a long time, and I think you can see more things than us."

"Thank you Mr. Yu Luohe for your praise. I did see something. My opinion is very different from Mr. Yu Luohe. Your opinion just now was that you thought this painting was a fake, right?" Wan Qi asked Yu Luohe with a smile.
