Sure enough, when Ran Wennian heard Qu Guanwen's words, he was moved.

It’s not because of money, but just as Qu Guanwen thought, it’s simple and skillful.

He walked to the "Midnight Appreciation Picture", and watched from top to bottom, from left to right, little by little, thinking about it.

It took Wang Fugui a total of ten minutes from the appraisal to the end.

And Ran Wennian...

Even though he was secretly speculating when Wang Fugui was appraisal, he still watched it for nearly an hour.

Finally, Ran Wennian raised her head.

Qu Guanwen hurriedly came over: "Professor Ran, this painting..."

Looking at Boss Qu with a longing face, Ran Wennian asked: "Do you want to hear the truth or the lies?"

"Ah?" Qu Guanwen was stunned.

He never expected to say that.

You should know that from the perspective of identification, there are only two situations for evaluating an antique: genuine or fake.

As for the truth and lies...

Isn't that a little joke between friends?

After thinking about it, Qu Guanwen asked carefully: "How to tell the truth? How to tell the lies?"

Ran Wennian is not friends with him, so his "truth" and "liarity" must have other profound meanings.

Sure enough, Ran Wennian smiled faintly: "If you say lies, it is a fake."

Qu Guanwen was stunned at first, then he was overjoyed: "What do you mean is that if you tell the truth, is it really the original work of Mr. Xiu?"

Ran Wennian shook his head: "No, the truth is also a fake."

Qu Guanwen: "..."

Wang Fugui next to him said, "Professor Ran, have you read it wrong?"

His face looked a little ugly.

You should know that you can express your confidence just now that this painting was made by Yang Shen.

As a result, the other party not only said it was a fake, but also had a fake double-company.

Is this a slap in the face not light enough?

Ran Wennian looked confident: "I can't read it wrong!"

"you……"

"Professor Ran, I still don't understand what you said, "The truth and lies are all fakes." Is it possible to explain it again?" Qu Guanwen finally came to his senses.

Ran Wennian said: "It's very simple. If you want to listen to lies, I will tell you directly that it is a fake. The appraisal is over.

You have to listen to the truth, I can prove why it is fake, but it will damage the painting.

So you'd better consider it yourself!"

So that's it...

Although he understood the causes and consequences, Qu Guanwen was not happy at all.

You know that he was full of confidence just now, but...

After a long period of hesitation and struggle, Qu Guanwen gritted his teeth:

"Professor Ran, I want to hear the truth!"

For cultural relics collectors, it is common for collection to be hit by the eye.

Many times, it is not scary to hit the eye. What is scary is that you don’t know how the eye is hit.

If you can get on-site guidance from experts, let alone damaging a painting, even ten paintings will be profitable.

Ran Wennian nodded and said to Ran Xingyue: "Get my knife."

Ran Xingyue entered Ran Wennian's bedroom and when she came out, she had an extra wooden box on her hand.

Ran Wennian took it and opened it.

The eyes are all kinds of strange metal parts, needle-shaped, hook-shaped, curved, and l-shaped...

The most exaggerated one is simply the same style as the ever-changing Sakura magic wand.

Ran Wennian picked up the hook-shaped metal piece and carefully inserted the tip into the rice paper layer of the ancient painting.

A magical scene happened.

I saw his wrist move slightly, and the picture "Midnight Orchid Viewing" was lifted down one layer.

On the thin paper that was peeled off, the picture of "Midnight Appreciation of Orchids".

On the rice paper connected to the scroll is still "Midnight Appreciation Picture".

Putting the two pictures side by side, Ran Wennian asked Wang Fugui: "Do you still think this is the original work of Yang Shen?"

"This..." Wang Fugui's face was as pale as snow.

He still has some attainments in ancient calligraphy and painting, otherwise he would not have dared to open an "antique jewelry store".

It is also true that when Ran Wennian revealed the "Midnight Orchid Viewing Picture", he also discovered the problem with this painting.

Ran Wennian asked Qu Guanwen again: "Boss Qu, how much did it cost to buy this painting?"

Qu Guanwen smiled bitterly: "1.2 million!"

Ran Wennian nodded: "Although 1.2 million is lost, it is not particularly serious, because these two fakes themselves have certain value."

He pointed to the thin paper: "If I guess correctly, the "Midnight Orchid Viewing Picture" on it should have been copied by the counterfeiter on the original.

However, although this method can restore the original works to the greatest extent, it is not easy to operate because the paper is too thin.

So he chose another piece of rice paper to paint directly, and then used superb skills to paste the thin paper on the rice paper.

In this way, rice paper painting can add three parts of thickness to thin paper painting, and thin paper painting can also cover up the flaws when outlining rice paper paintings.

The two complement each other and have the effect of being fake and real."

After listening to Ran Wennian's analysis, everyone was stunned.

Everyone never expected that there would be such a fake operation.

Qu Guanwen hurriedly asked: "Professor Ran, when encountering this situation, how should we distinguish it?

To be honest, when I bought this painting, I studied it repeatedly and hired many appraisers to appraise it, and the answers I got were all genuine.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have spent millions to buy it."

He thought Ran Wennian could give some advice, but the other party shook his head: "There is no good way. If you have to ask, I can only say to read more, learn more, and think more.

I can find that there is something wrong with this painting, not that it has a mezzanine.

In fact, a top-quality rice paper used for painting was originally glued together by many thin papers using special methods.

Its problem lies with the counterfeiter.

The reason why famous ancient paintings are precious is that in addition to the painter's own exquisite painting skills, more importantly, he can integrate his feelings into his paintings.

For example, Yang Shen’s “Midnight Appreciation of Orchids” is named after the people of Bonanshan.

According to research, the people of Bonanshan were taken by him during his exile in Shennan.

In other words, this "Midnight Appreciation of Orchids" was also written during this period.

Although Yang Shen was good at everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, his highest attainments were not painting, but literary works such as poetry, lyrics, and dramas.

The reason why he likes painting and especially loves orchids is to express his longing for his wife Huang E.

Huang E, Zhuo Wenjun, Xue Tao and Mrs. Huarui are known as the four talented women in Shu. She is even more beautiful and charming.

Yang Shen had a deep relationship with her, but unfortunately after being exiled, he and Huang E were in Yunnan and Guizhou and Yanjing, and they were not allowed to meet for a whole 45 years.

So every time I miss my wife, Yang Shen is in extreme pain.

It is also true that the orchids he painted are full of separation, decline and depression.

But look at the "Midnight Appreciation Picture" in front of you again.

There is only the charm of the orchid itself, but there is no longing for his wife's lover or helplessness for wandering."

After listening to Ran Wennian's words, Qu Guanwen quickly picked up the magnifying glass and pondered at the orchid on the painting.

He looked at it for a long time before he looked up like a sigh of relief.

Ran Wennian asked with a smile: "How is it? I'm right?"

As a result, Qu Guanwen's expression suddenly became a little awkward.

He said to Ai Ai, "I... can't see this."
