After arriving at home, Zhou Xia had the time to carefully observe this unfinished work and feel the deep feelings contained in it.

Then, he went online to learn more about the life story of Zhu Da, Bada Shanren, and his painting style, and looked at the photos of his works.

However, it is still far from enough to verify whether this painting was made by Bada Shanren. It is best to find relevant records from historical materials.

At the same time, Zhou Xia did not forget to search for several other painters of his contemporaries to see if there was any possible work of them.

Time flies quickly, and the search is fruitless, but Zhou Xia, who is hungry, goes to cook dumplings. While he is resting, he is also thinking about whether to go to the school library to find more detailed information. In this way, he will have to trouble Su Xiaoru again, otherwise he will not even be able to enter the library gate.

Thinking of this, Zhou Xia immediately called Su Xiaoru, hoping that she would not have made any arrangements today.

"Senior brother, call me so early, do you want to treat me to breakfast?" After answering the phone, Su Xiaoru joked with him.

Zhou Xia said, "If you don't eat, I can bring it to you."

"You want to come to school, do you have to return the books? You will finish reading so quickly!" Su Xiaoru spoke very quickly.

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "I am very ashamed. I was very busy yesterday and I didn't have time to read it. It will take a few days to pay it back. I asked you for help today because I wanted to go to the library to check some information and identify what I have in my hands."

Su Xiaoru immediately asked excitedly, "Senior Brother, you have received a good thing! Can you bring it here? Let me take a closer look at it, and experience it will rise."

"Okay, I'm just about to ask you for help in the appraisal." Zhou Xia said.

"Is it ancient calligraphy and painting?" Su Xiaoru asked again.

"Yes, but it's quite special. You will know after reading it. I'll come here later. We will meet outside the library. Do you want me to bring you breakfast?" Zhou Xia replied.

Su Xiaosu laughed and said that she thought, it would be impossible to bring food into the library, so she would go and eat it by herself.

Zhou Xia laughed at her for being sexually altered today, which made her complain.

After hanging up the phone, he hurriedly pulled the remaining dumplings into his mouth. Zhou Xia brought the painting and set off with his bag on his back.

When Zhou Xia arrived outside the library, Su Xiaoru was already waiting for him there.

Su Xiaoru wore a white long-sleeved cotton shirt and dress today, a black hollow shawl, black stockings and black leather shoes, which made her look a little mature.

"The little junior sister has become mature! Is this to prepare in advance for entering the workplace?" Zhou Xia said with a smile when she met.

Su Xiaoru glanced at him, "Not as exaggerated as you said. I often wear this kind of clothes like this. With my current ability, I am afraid there is still a gap in my desire to work in the company!"

Zhou Xia said, "I almost forgot if you don't say it. Yesterday, Manager Liu mentioned you, and she asked me to arrange for everyone to have a meal together. When will you have time?"

Zhou Xia took this matter to heart and responded so quickly, which made Su Xiaoru very happy and confused, "I have time at any time. Senior brother, aren't you fooling me? Can I really join your company?"

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "I believe in your ability, junior sister. What's wrong? You are also Manager Liu's junior sister. You have a good foundation and are studious. Didn't I go to the auction company like this? By the way, I'm afraid I'll let you down!"

Su Xiaoru hurriedly said, "No, I'm just worried about myself. I don't have much practical experience at the moment. It's not appropriate to go to work rashly. I don't know how many jokes I'll make. Senior brother, see, can you delay the time? Wait until I follow you for a while and learn more first."

"Just make your own decision." Zhou Xia could understand her mood very well.

Su Xiaoru laughed, "Then let's make up for it. When I have enough confidence, I will go to Senior Sister Liu for an interview. Can't I embarrass my senior brother, right?"

"You girl, you are a ghost spirit." Zhou Xia said with a smile.

Su Xiaoru immediately asked him again, "Senior Brother, what good things have you received? Take them out to open my eyes."

Zhou Xia asked, "I can't identify who painted an old painting, and I can bring it into the library!"

Su Xiaoru volunteered, "I'll go and ask, register first, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Then please, junior sister!" Zhou Xia said.

Su Xiaoru laughed, "Senior Brother Zhou is so polite, just call me Xiaoru."

Zhou Xia said, "Look, you still call me Senior Brother Zhou, and I call you Xiaoru, wouldn't it be a big loss?"

Su Xiaoru smiled and said, "Then it's up to you. Anyway, I'll call you senior brother, this must not be messed up."

"Get!" Lu Zhouxia was speechless. He actually didn't care about these things.

Su Xiaoru asked Zhou Xia to have a painting, but she only spread it slightly, and a strange look appeared on her face, "It turned out to be an unfinished work. Senior brother, you are not mistaken!"

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "That's why I said it's more special!"

Su Xiaoru asked him, "Isn't such a draft the easiest to be faked? I feel that this is much simpler than imitating a complete painting."

"This is the reason, so we have to identify it. Let's see if it is an original or a imitation of ancient paintings. If it is an ancient painting, who is the painter? Xiaoru, this simple appraisal task will be left to you to complete! How about it as a test work for your Chinese calligraphy and painting appraisal career?" Zhou Xia said to her with a smile.

Su Xiaoru shouted repeatedly, "Senior Brother, you are so bad! You can dig a hole and let others jump, so you won't be cheating like this."

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "How can I cheat people? Didn't you say that such a draft is easiest to imitate? It is easy to imitate, and it should be easiest to identify, right!"

Su Xiaoru curled her lips and said, "Senior Brother Zhou, you want to test me! Such a draft is easy to fake, but it is the most difficult to identify. Because the essence and details of each painter have been passed down from the finished work, there is still a big gap between the paintings that each painter has not completed and the finished work. To give the example that everyone is most familiar with, the finishing touch. The dragon draft before the finishing touch is like this unfinished painting. After the master of famous masters draws the eyes, the aura and expression of the whole dragon will be completely different. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a qualitative leap. Just identifying the final completed work has already made many experts and scholars who specialize in calligraphy and painting, let alone such unfinished works. Moreover, I guess, there should be no signature on it. Senior Brother, you can even use such a difficult work to test me, a rookie who has not yet been started. It is really bad!"

Zhou Xia laughed and said, "You are smart and guessed well, and you can tell so many truths in one breath. Doesn't this just show that you have stepped into the threshold of an appraiser with one foot! Am I optimistic about your development potential?"

In this case, Su Xiaoru is immune. She just thought clearly, "Senior brother, have you already made a conclusion about this painting?"

Zhou Xia shook his head and said, "It was because he had not identified it, so he came to the library to find information and tried hard to figure it out."

Su Xiaoru asked him curiously, "Then why did you think you wanted to buy it?"

Zhou Xia said, "By feeling!"

"Senior brother lied to me again, just by feeling? Didn't the usual teachings say that you bought more and less?" Su Xiaoru expressed doubts about this.

"Xiao Ru, look at the performance of this paper, there is no trace of artificial old work. The damaged spots are very natural. I judged that it is definitely old paper. Just for this, there is a reason to let me take it down. In addition, although this painting is an unfinished work, the theme of the cuckoo's blood crying is already quite clear. I was infected by the unsustainable aura in the painting at that time. In addition, the boss was about to close the stall, so I decided to follow the feeling and take it down."

Zhou Xia could only do this and try to explain it with the most reasonable reason. He could not tell Su Xiaoru that I got the archaeological identification system to identify this as a precious cultural relic, so I took it down. If he really dared to do that, let alone the other consequences that would be caused, Su Xiaoru would probably treat him as a psychopath.

"I have to use troops for a thousand days. The feeling that my senior brother said must be based on a solid foundation!" Su Xiaoru sighed, "Senior brother, your current appraisal skills are much better than us. If I were to say, it would take the boss's effort to identify whether this paper is old. My basic skills need more training, let alone other appraisal knowledge. For example, if the senior brother cannot make a quick decision and take it down, he may miss it forever. Sure enough, to do an appraisal, it depends on how much things are in his mind. I am not yet ready to get it!"

Zhou Xia was a little ashamed of her. Putting aside the system, he might not be better than her in the identification of calligraphy and paintings. He also had to work hard to improve on this. But now, he could only encourage her, "As long as Xiaoru continues to work hard, I believe she will do better than me."

Su Xiaoru nodded vigorously and said firmly, "I will work harder to learn from my senior brother. Senior brother, you are not allowed to hide your own personalities."

Zhou Xia said, "I just participated in the practice earlier than you, and I can feel more deeply that learning and growth in practice is the best. Let's work together and learn from each other. This time, this appraisal of this unfinished cuckoo blood crying picture is a good learning opportunity. There is also the autumn auction in the future, everyone should work together. By the way, I have already gotten many auction catalogs from Manager Liu. I feel that just by looking at the catalog, you can get a lot of gains. Xiaoru, if you have time, you can go to me to read it, or I will send it to school for you."

Su Xiaoru replied without thinking much, "I'd better go to my senior brother to see it. I still want to discuss it with my senior brother. I can't see many tricks alone."
