A junk collection station floats in my mind

Chapter 28 Why is this picture not stamped?
With just a glance, Chen Muyu's gaze was attracted by a black box that the man was carrying.

It was a lockbox, which looked like the box used by the secret agents in the movie.

It seems that Qi Baishi's shrimp picture should be in this box.

It's quite formal, compared to Chen Muyu carrying a backpack, it seems more face-to-face.

But that's right, if it's really Qi Baishi's picture of shrimp, something worth hundreds of millions, not to mention storing it in a lockbox, under normal circumstances, you might have to hire a bodyguard.

"Uncle Xu!"

When the man came up to him, he was obviously already familiar with him, and he directly bowed to Xu Sihai, looking very polite.

"Xiao Kai is here!"

Xu Sihai smiled, his attitude towards Xu Chuan was completely different from that just now, and he pointed to the seat next to him, signaling him to sit down and chat.

Wang Kai nodded repeatedly, and when he was seated, he saw Chen Muyu sitting there, he was a little puzzled, "This is..."

"Don't pay attention to him, he's just an insignificant guy!" Xu Chuan said strangely beside him.

"Uh……"

Wang Kai was a little embarrassed, after all, he was very restrained in front of Xu Sihai.

"Chen Muyu!"

Chen Muyu reported his name, Xu Chuan was Xu Chuan, and the others were other people. This person didn't show his face, so he still needs to have the self-cultivation he should have.

"Wang Kai!"

Wang Kai also hurriedly reported his name. He might not know Chen Muyu's identity now, and he thought he was some nephew of the Xu family.

Xu Sihai looked at Wang Kai amusedly, "I heard from Xiao Chuan that you brought a painting?"

Hearing this, Wang Kai got up quickly and put the box on the table, "I've heard that Uncle Xu likes calligraphy and painting, and I have such a picture at home recently, so I brought it here, and asked Uncle Xu to taste it with the cheek Learn."

The purpose of his coming here today was to please Xu Sihai. As soon as Xu Sihai came up, he asked about painting. In Wang Kai's view, this was impatient. Xu Sihai's love for calligraphy and painting was indeed well-deserved.

At the moment, Wang Kai was also unambiguous, entered the password in front of the three of them, and opened the box.

Chen Muyu stretched his neck over.

Inside is a long mahogany box with a simple shape, which is opened carefully, and a scroll is held in red cloth.

Wang Kai was very serious, and slowly pulled the picture out of the red cloth, the appearance was more vivid than stealing a mine.

Xu Chuan next to him was not idle, he quickly picked up the wine glass, cleared the table, and put a red cloth on the table.

Such a posture made Chen Muyu excited.

Qi Baishi's shrimp picture, the real thing is about to be displayed in front of him, what an exciting thing this is.

"Uncle Xu, please appreciate Qi Baishi's picture of a group of shrimps!"

The yellowed picture scroll slowly unfolded on the table, Wang Kai stood up straight, polite, with a smug smile on his face, it could be seen that he was very confident in a painting.

All rise!

Xu Sihai stood up and took a look, the expression on his face was a bit weird, and he couldn't tell whether it was surprise or disappointment.

Anyway, Xu Sihai didn't wear gloves or reading glasses this time, he just opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.

"Uncle Xu, how are you doing?"

Without seeing the expected shock on Xu Sihai's face, Wang Kai suddenly felt a little nervous.

Xu Sihai didn't answer him, but looked up at Chen Muyu who was standing opposite him, "Xiao Yu, what do you think?"

Being named by Xu Sihai, Chen Muyu was a little surprised, after all, his skill in this area is not deep.

However, since Xu Sihai has called his name, he still has to bite the bullet and say a few words. After all, even if he can't understand, the buying station in his mind has a certain function of identifying treasures. he.

"Humph!"

Next to him, Xu Chuan snorted softly, he didn't understand why Xu Sihai looked at this kid differently, it was so frankly annoying.

But what can I do if I'm unhappy, I still have to endure it.

Chen Muyu carefully looked at the picture in front of him. The frame was very gorgeous, about four square feet, and eight large shrimps were drawn on the yellowed paper. Each one was vivid and different in shape!
At first glance, it looked like that, but upon closer inspection, something was wrong. Chen Muyu couldn't tell what was wrong, but he felt that everything was wrong.

Chen Muyu looked up at Wang Kai, "Can I ask, how did you get this picture?"

As soon as Wang Kai heard it, there was something to say, and he quickly smiled, "This is a friend of my dad's. This year, my dad gave it to my dad on his birthday. My dad has been locking it in the cabinet. I dared to show it to others, but fortunately I found out, so I found a chance to show it..."

Chen Muyu heard that there were black lines on his forehead, and it was not easy to complain. Your father didn't dare to show it to others, probably not because he was afraid of losing it, but because he was afraid of being laughed at by experts.

"How is it? Is this picture real?" Wang Kai asked.

"Yes, this thing is quite open!"

Chen Muyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Although he knew in his heart that the picture was not real, he didn't expose it on the spot. After all, Xu Sihai hadn't spoken yet. He could at most give some hints, "It's just, why hasn't this picture been stamped?"

In addition to drawing 8 shrimps on this picture, there are also a few words and a signature. It was made in the autumn of Gengzi year, but it was not stamped.

Qi Baishi is such a famous artist, this kind of painting should not be stamped.

"Brother, expert, you can see the problem at a glance!" Wang Kai smiled cheerfully when he heard this, with a mysterious expression on his face, "Actually, it's not that this picture is not stamped, but that it is not It’s too late to cover, I heard from my dad’s friend, there’s another story here?”

story?

Chen Muyu had an expression of listening attentively, and Xu Sihai beside him smiled and shook his head. He also knew that Chen Muyu saw something wrong, but it was not convenient for Chen Muyu to speak directly. This guy is good, and he even started telling stories.

"Brother Kai, tell us quickly!"

Xu Chuan was full of interest, and immediately became the king of support.

Wang Kai cleared his throat and looked like a well-learned man, "I heard from my father's friend that when Qi Baishi was learning to draw shrimps, he went to Huizhou to find his master who drew shrimps. He spent a lot of money. If you refuse to teach him, what will happen to you, Qi Baishi talked all kinds of things, and finally sold two bowls of chop suey noodles, and under his master's instruction, Qi Baishi drew a picture on the spot, which is the picture we saw!"

"At that time, the chop suey noodles had been cooked. Qi Baishi was afraid that the noodles would be overcooked. He hurried to eat the noodles, but forgot to stamp it. Later, the owner of the noodle restaurant put away this picture. It was in the hands of my dad's friend, and then my dad's friend gave it to my dad..."
