Chapter 1739

"Hahaha! Boy, stop pretending to be an elephant with a pig's nose and a green onion. You haven't even grown all your hair yet, so what qualifications do you have to talk about calligraphy and painting?"

Wang Beixiong laughed and said, his words full of contempt.

"Let's not talk about the fact that my painting has a traceable source. Just say that Mr. Wu just recognized this painting. Do you think your appreciation ability is better than Mr. Wu?"

"Get out of here! If you make Mr. Wu unhappy, I, Wang Beixiong, will make you look bad without Mr. Wu giving orders."

At this time, Wu Huiru was also a little anxious.

This Ye Xiao was so messy that she began to regret bringing Ye Xiao to see her father.

If she stayed aside, she might have a chance to meet her father, but now that Wang Lin and the others were proud and laughed at their own jokes, it is estimated that her father would no longer treat Ye Xiao well.

"Ye Xiao, follow me!" Wu Huiru said with a gloomy face.

However, Ye Xiao responded calmly: "Give me two minutes to finish my words."

After that, Ye Xiao pointed to the painting placed on the table by Wang Beixiong and said: "Mr. Wu, you just saw this painting, do you remember the inscription on it?"

The so-called inscription is the text written on the painting by the calligrapher and painter himself, as well as the collectors of later generations, which are mostly poems or sentences for appreciation and appreciation.

As an antique collector with rich collection experience, Wu Shouzhuo certainly understood what Ye Xiao was asking, but he was disdainful to answer such a low-level question from Ye Xiao at this time.

Wu Huiru couldn't help but clench her fists. She has always been very ladylike, but at this time she actually had the urge to hit someone. Couldn't Ye Xiao see that his father was already very impatient?

Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang on the side, however, sneered and sneered. At this time, the two of them also gave up the idea of ​​leaving immediately. It seemed not bad to stay and watch the Wu family make a fool of themselves.

Ye Xiao didn't care about Wu Shouzhuo's indifference, and didn't care about Wu Huiru's anger. He continued, "Zhuang Su, a connoisseur of Chen Rong's time, once said, 'Every time Su Weng finished a painting, he would write his own inscriptions to prevent others from making it fake.'"

"I just saw this painting. There are inscriptions by Zhu Yuanzhang, Qianlong, and collectors of various eras, but there is no inscription by Chen Rong himself."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, which sounded like nonsense, Wu Shouzhuo couldn't help but feel interested.

He thought about the painting he had just seen. It seemed that there was really no inscription by Chen Rong himself, but this didn't seem to completely prove that the painting was fake!

"Young man, you are really good at bragging! You said that Mr. Su Weng's paintings all have his own inscriptions. Will we believe it? It's ridiculous!"

At this time, Lin Yunxiang, who knew a little about antiques, said with disdain.

"Ms. Wu, I suggest that you should have less contact with this kind of self-defeating boy, lest he cause a big disaster one day and implicate you."

Wang Beixiong also sneered: "Mr. Wu, in my opinion, you should punish this little jerk who doesn't know his dignity and make him an example, otherwise no one will take the Wu family seriously in the future?"

Listening to Lin Yunxiang and Wang Beixiong vying to ridicule Ye Xiao, not only Wu Huiru in the living room was very anxious, but even Wu Chuan and Davika, who had some expectations for Ye Xiao at the beginning, were worried about Ye Xiao.

At this time, they all realized that the reason why Ye Xiao suddenly appeared was to help Wu Shouzhuo out of trouble and win the latter's favor.

But if Ye Xiao couldn't even convince Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang, then Ye Xiao's actions would not only fail to achieve his goal, but would also annoy Wu Shouzhuo.

Wu Shouzhuo had just heard Ye Xiao speak in a serious manner, and seeing Ye Xiao again, he still looked calm and composed. He no longer tried to drive Ye Xiao away, but he did not speak out in support either. He just quietly waited for Ye Xiao's next words.

Although he was not as bold as his father in terms of major policies, he had been in charge of the Wu family for so many years and had seen countless people. He still had some vision. Ye Xiao's calmness made him feel that Ye Xiao was not talking nonsense.

As Wu Shouzhuo expected, Ye Xiao continued calmly: "The inscription is just one of the reasons to prove that this painting is a fake."

Speaking of this, Ye Xiao looked at Wu Shouzhuo again and asked: "Mr. Wu, have you heard about the process of counterfeiting silk paintings?"

"Tell me about it."

This time Wu Shouzhuo was no longer silent, but responded to Ye Xiao with interest.

Firstly, as a collector of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, he subconsciously wanted to see what Ye Xiao could say when he heard him talk about a topic he was good at.

Secondly, since Wu Shouzhuo saw that YeXiao was not aimless, so he naturally did not want to look at Lin Yunxiang and Wang Beixiong and continue to interrupt Ye Xiao.

Seeing that her father actually agreed with Ye Xiao, Wu Huiru could not help but frown. She did not believe that Ye Xiao could really prove that the painting sent by Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang was a fake.

After all, Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang were planning to use this painting to sever their relationship with her family, so how could they send a fake?

If they sent a fake painting, it would not be in line with their identities, and it would only make them further hostile to their family. She was sure that they would not dare to do so.

But since her father had instructed Ye Xiao to continue, Wu Huiru could not say anything more.

Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang did not take Wu Shouzhuo's words seriously. Since Wu Shouzhuo still wanted them to laugh at him, they simply spent some time watching.

At this time, Ye Xiao's voice came again, "Usually, to make a fake silk painting, the counterfeiter will use three processes to make the fake painting look old."

"First, sprinkle a few layers of gamboge water on the painting, then use a dryer to blow dry the moisture on it, and then repeatedly roll up the painting to make the painting form relatively natural wrinkles."

"Finally, ignite the moxa leaves or wet pine leaves for smoke, and then use a brush to brush it more than ten times. In this way, a silk painting can be made to look old for hundreds of years."

Hearing Ye Xiao's detailed description of the process of counterfeiting silk paintings, Wu Shouzhuo couldn't help but look at Ye Xiao with a higher eye.

At first, when Ye Xiao suddenly came out, he only felt that Ye Xiao was too reckless, and then heard Ye Xiao talking about Suo Weng's inscriptions, which made him feel that Ye Xiao was not completely brainless, and he still had some understanding of calligraphy and painting.

But now seeing that Ye Xiao even forged it, and he also said it so clearly, Wu Shouzhuo believed that Ye Xiao might really be a player who knows how to appreciate it.

"Tsk! Boy, this must be another fabrication of yours!" Wang Beixiong, as always, sneered at Ye Xiao.

He was just a gang leader who only knew how to fight and kill, and fight for power and profit. How could he understand what Ye Xiao said about the forgery of calligraphy and painting?

However, Lin Yunxiang, who was beside Wang Beixiong, noticed something wrong at this time. Although he didn't know whether the forgery of silk paintings was as Ye Xiao said, he knew how to read people's expressions better than Wang Beixiong.

At this time, Wu Shouzhuo's expression changes towards Ye Xiao fell into his eyes. Could it be that this kid really knows ancient paintings?

Otherwise, why would Wu Shouzhuo show admiration for him?
