Chapter 44

Mr. Ding introduced: "I read Tan Jing's memoirs back then. Chen Julai, a sh seal engraver who was familiar with Tang An at that time, revealed a lot of frauds by Tang An in his "Superwords of the Characters", pointing out that there are three types of frauds by Tang An."

"One of them is seals. The fake seals include four major masters of the Ming Dynasty, such as Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, Tang Bohu, Qiu Ying, etc., as well as Zheng Banqiao, Liu Yong, Wenshui Daoren, Jin Junming, Fang Xiaoru and other famous people of all dynasties. The materials of these fake seals include rhinoceros horns, ivory, etc., and the fake insect-caught and cracks are particularly realistic."

"The second type is purple clay teapot. I once borrowed Wu Hufan from the Ming Dynasty's Chen Mingyuan purple clay teapot. After imitation, Wu Hufan could not tell the authenticity. The third type is fake calligraphy and painting. Chen Julai also personally visited Tang'an's counterfeiting workshop."

"When Tang An found Xu Zhengbai, Zheng Zhuyou, Hu Jing, Wang Chaoqun and other teams to work together. Xu imitated paintings, Zheng copied the characters, Hu made seals, Tang Quan colored them, and later there were imitation paintings of Jin Zhongyu, and finally Wang mounted them into a scroll."

"But it is not easy to imitate ancient paintings. It is impossible to achieve the vicissitudes of calligraphy and painting that have been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years in a very short time."

"They first painted the painting, mounted it on the board, and washed it with water to make it seem like it is not. After that, they repeatedly unmounted it like the process of the old paintings, and they had to revise the broken pens like repairing old paintings, and finally made the full color to make it look very ancient."

"In 1960, the Forbidden City Restoration Factory established a painting studio to copy the Forbidden City's calligraphy and painting collections to replace the originals for exhibition and collection. Jin Zhongyu and Zheng Zhuyou even entered the Forbidden City to work together, which shows how high their level is."

Mr. Ding sighed: "The scroll of Zhao Yuan's "Qingchuan Sailing Guests" imitated by Tan Jing back then, and the collector wanted to sell it to the Forbidden City. The person in the academy's calligraphy and painting wrote a note for Zhang Heng, asking him not to speak during the appraisal. The original book of "Qingchuan Sailing Guests" was originally collected by Zhang Heng. He knew that this was imitated by Tan Jing. As the leader of the Cultural Relics Department, how could Zhang Heng not speak? He said that the fake was not allowed to enter the Forbidden City!"

Mr. Ding said helplessly: "I have been doing calligraphy and painting for so many years, and Tan Jing has only heard of it, and has never seen it before. It is a big mystery in the calligraphy and painting world. How many have it been imitated? I don't know where it is going!

Ling Tiancheng continued: "There are now four of them that have been confirmed to be exhibited in major museums in the United States, and nine of them were auctioned more than ten years ago, and they have never appeared again. Tan Jing's level of imitation is the best in history. It is rarer than ordinary painters with nicknames and has absolute research value."

Wen Yiming finally understood that there was such a great man! Isn’t even the Forbidden City imitations?

It's no wonder Fatty Fei was able to hit him. I don't know where he came from to get this imitation from Tan Jing. It was also unlucky that he actually sold it to Hu Jianmin and shot himself in the foot.

The matter has been found out. Ling Tiancheng asked the three old men to go back and deal with the rest. When they left, he couldn't help but smile and said, "God helps me, let's see how Fatty Fei ends this time?"

"Do you really want to tell Hu Jianmin?" Wen Yiming felt a little reluctant. He had a good relationship with Fatty Fei. He didn't even mention that he had a relationship with the other party when he picked up the bargain twice. This time he personally exposed the imitation.

"That's natural!"

Ling Tiancheng affirmed: "I know what you think, but you don't know the person Fei Fatty. He is not clean until today! This time I can only say that he is not good at learning and is unhappy in retribution. You don't have to worry about this."

He gave Wen Yiming a full tea and said lightly: "Now Hu Jianmin is admiring you, not only because of red wine, but also the decisive factor. I have told them to collect all their strength in the century-old ingredients and let you combine the fragrance as soon as possible. You must seize the opportunity!"

Suddenly Ling Tiancheng approached and asked in a low voice: "Will the secret recipe be leaked to outsiders?"

"Uncle, Coca-Cola is everywhere on the street. Have you seen the secret recipe leaked?"

Wen Yiming smiled and said, "The process of merging the fragrance is complicated and the formula is ever-changing. If someone really wants to copy Jingxin Xiang successfully, his level is higher than that of me and my master. If you lose when you meet such an expert!"

"That's good!" Ling Tiancheng said in a long air: "I'm relieved. Okay, leave the rest to me and let the driver take you back."

Wen Yiming left the company and there was nothing he had to do here. As for Fatty Fei, he didn't have to worry about it. He would have to pay it back sooner or later when he came out. This was also retribution.

"Yiming, you are finally back!"

Wen Yiming looked at Xie Hong with anxiety on his face and asked, "Sister Hong, what happened?"

Xie Hong quickly pulled him to the rest room, and the other girls surrounded Lin Xiuxiu. The little girl's eyes were red and she had just cried. Xie Hong whispered: "She's brother has something wrong!"

"Yiming, you have to help Xiuxiu!"

"That's right, the little girl is so pitiful, we sisters can't stand by and watch!"

When Yang Qing and Xu Yun saw Wen Yiming back, they surrounded him one after another, talking nonsense. Wen Yiming quickly waved his hand and said, "Tell me one by one! What happened?"

"Let me say it!"

Xie Hong explained: "Xiuxiu just received a call saying that his brother owed the other party 50,000 yuan because of gambling! Now that the person is arrested, he asks his family to pay back the money. His brother only has Xiuxiu, so..."

"Sister Hong, stop talking!"

Lin Xiuxiu suddenly ran over, grabbed Xie Hong, and shouted: "Thank you for your concern. I blame my brother for being unsuccessful in this matter. I just want money, I'll give it to you!"

"Are you crazy?" Xie Hong scolded loudly: "Fifty thousand! Do you have it? Take it out and let me see!"

"I..." Lin Xiuxiu was stunned in an instant, tears fell down again, and she sobbed: "I have more than 30,000 in my hand, why don't I give it to them first, and the rest will be slowly..."

"Hmph, do you think the other party is a bank? Can you still pay in installments?"

Xie Hong snorted coldly: "Money is a trivial matter, it is not difficult for us sisters to get together, but the problem is that even if you, a weak woman, can you save your brother?"

Yang Qing was impatient and shouted: "That's right, don't be stupid. The other party is not a good person. If you go, you will be a sheep and a tiger's mouth!"

"How about we go together!"

Xu Yun thought for a while and said firmly: "A few people go together, they dare not treat us in broad daylight. Isn't it just asking for money, give it to them!"

"Don't worry, listen to me!"

Wen Yiming finally understood the matter and said in a deep voice: "Don't be excited. Since the other party is willing to ask for money, it means there is a turning point. Let's do this, Xiuxiu and I will go!"

"Yiming, you..." Several people's eyes flashed with emotion. True feelings were seen in times of adversity. Although Wen Yiming came late, he was manly at a critical moment!

"Xiuxiu comes with me!" Wen Yiming smiled and said, "Don't worry, the other party is also asking for money. I just want money. I'll take it out first and get your brother back!"

"Yiming, thank you!"

Lin Xiuxiu was moved and was about to kneel down. Wen Yiming hurriedly held back. Now is not the time to sensationalize, save people first!
