Zhou Xia didn't say much to her. The two exchanged for treasure appraisal. He also looked at Xu Yaohui and found that his expression was very serious.

In this case, Zhou Xia would not think that something was wrong, but something was good and it was difficult to make up his mind.

Although Zhou Xu is a simple glance at Zhu Yunming and Zhu Zhishan's works, Zhou Xu can estimate the size and number of words. If it is a genuine product, it will cost at least 700,000 to 800,000. For him, whether to buy or not, it is a difficult decision.

Of course, Zhou Xia can't care so much now. He is more focused on what he is doing. Whether Zhu Zhishan's calligraphy works is true or false, he will also have to appraise them later. Now, let's get this Wen Zhengming's work done first.

Fortunately, this fan-shaped work is not the cursive script like the two calligraphers before, but running script. Zhou Xia can still recognize what he wrote. It was a congratulatory speech he wrote for New Year's Day. The handwriting was neat and smooth, which gave Zhou Xia the first feeling, but he was not affected by this. He still followed the old routine and first identified the age of paper and ink.

Since these works are all from Ming people, it is more convenient and targeted to identify the age of paper and ink. Zhou Xia quickly concluded that the age of this works has also reached, and at the latest, it should be the work from the early Qing Dynasty.

In this way, Zhou Xia really looked down on Wang Mingzheng, and he was very conscientious. You should know that in the market, fakes are flying everywhere, and it is difficult to find an old thing, let alone genuine ones.

Zhou Xia is more familiar with Wen Zhengming's works than the calligraphy of Zhang Ruitu and Xie Tong.

The painting of Qiu Ying that Zhou Nanming brought him to make him look ugly had a fake postscript that he identified as Wen Zhengming.

According to Zhou Xia's judgment, the handwriting on this work is quite good, but I always feel that it is still a little short of Wen Zhengming's calligraphy.

You should know that Wen Zhengming is the top calligraphy master. He is particularly good at running techniques, which are gentle and vigorous, with strict rules and vivid styles. He has no majestic momentum but has a unique gentle and elegant character, mature and steady state.

What I said about this work now? I didn’t think it was when I first saw it, but when I savored it carefully, Zhou Xia always felt a little frivolous and impetuous. This was not like Wen Zhengming’s style that had been through the vicissitudes of life and the twists and turns of his mind, and was late to become a master.

Zhou Xia had seen Wen Zhengming’s original works in the Donghai Museum before. Compared with each other, the feeling was even more obvious. It was not easy to achieve calligraphy without Wen Zhengming’s accumulation and practice.

Therefore, Zhou Xia asserted that this previous work by Dong should be a copy of the previous generations, and perhaps even the same group of people were written by the same group of people. They all made the fake calligraphy of Dong, and there was no reason not to give Wen Zhengming a face. Moreover, in terms of fame, Wen Zhengming's fame is slightly larger and his value in the market is higher.

He is not vague at the moment, hoping that the systematic identification can confirm his point of view.

As a result of systematic identification, this work was created in 1650 AD and belonged to the Shunzhi period in the early Qing Dynasty. At that time, Wen Zhengming had been alive for nearly a hundred years, so it must be a copy.

After he finished appraisal of the painting, Xu Yaohui, who had been paying attention to Zhu Zhishan's works, had a final conclusion. But he did not want to affect Zhou Xia's appraisal results because of his own judgment. He also hoped that Zhou Xia would help him in the end.

Although Xu Yaohui didn't say anything, Zhou Xia could feel his entangled and contradictory mind.

At this point, Zhou Xia also understood why Wang Mingzheng was willing to take out the treasured good things. Needless to say, the prices of these works will definitely not be low.

When he met Xu Yaohui, he had some attainments in calligraphy, but he was not particularly good. No matter whether he could correctly identify whether it was an original, he would definitely sell it as an original. Such originals also have great temptations to people. Even if he didn't need it, he would use it as a filial piety to his elders.

Wang Mingzheng can also be considered a person's heart.

Of course, what determines whether Wang Mingzheng can get what he wants is still what he has.

If this work by Zhu Zhishan is a fake, Zhou Xia will definitely point it out to Xu Yaohui so that he will not let him waste money. If it is really a genuine work, Zhou Xia will be powerless. It depends on Xu Yaohui's own decision whether to buy it or not.

This calligraphy work by Zhu Zhishan is a cursive script.

This made Zhou Xia very angry again.

And this time, it is not the literary content that Zhou Xia is familiar with.

He simply didn't look at how his writing was written, and started from other aspects step by step. Due to Xu Yaohui's attitude, Zhou Xia became more and more cautious when making the appraisal. It can be said that he was nitpicking.

But this work did not give him much attention. Whether it was the material of paper and ink, or the traces of various folds, the ink penetrated into the paper, it was almost the same as the calligraphy works of the Ming Dynasty. It is particularly worth mentioning that the preservation of this work is better than that of the other works. Although it is not said to be complete and new, there is no particularly damaged area.

In the end, Zhou Xia could not find any fault and had to make an appraisal from the field he was the least good at.

Judging from his own personal opinion, this cursive script is easier for him to accept than the cursive scripts of the previous two.

He is always erratic and embarrassed, and does not care about his craftsmanship. However, when he bows left and gives way, the ink is still full of ink, and the rhythm is still concise. In short, it is quite rhythmic. Unlike Zhou Xia himself, he can't care about the back before writing. The single handwriting seems OK, but when it gets together, it won't be able to see it.

Moreover, the whole work is like a landscape painting of excellent quality, with a sense of layering. Although the handwriting is very dense, it does not make people feel very crowded. It seems that the whole work is written very quickly, as if it is done in one stroke, but it does not have the feeling of impetuousness and smoothness.

Even though Zhou Xia did not know much about calligraphy, he could feel that if he did not have enough skills and realm, he would definitely not be able to reach such a level.

Zhou Xia recalled the Zhuzhishan cursive script he had seen before at the Donghai Museum. The style was similar to this, and they all belonged to the most typical Zhuzhishan cursive script.

"Getting Zhang Dian's majesticity and the flying movement of the true nature" is the most appropriate to judge Zhu Zhishan's cursive script.

Looking at the signature and bell marks, it is also a typical Zhuzhishan style.

On the summer of Yiyou, Zhu Yunming on Zhishan.

I was very happy to see the exact date Zhou Xia. The summer day of Yiyou was converted according to time. The most likely one was 1525 AD. At that time, Zhu Zhishan was 65 years old, which was the time when his calligraphy was most mature and the last few years of his life.

If the system makes a judgment, it is indeed written in 1525, it can basically be concluded as his original work. Of course, there is also a small possibility, it is a copy of other people in the same year, but this possibility is not too great, especially if you have to practice calligraphy to such an extent.

Zhou Xia did not delay and immediately asked the system to make an appraisal after reaching the conclusion.

The final conclusion drawn by the system was indeed created in 1525 AD.

Such a result was not beyond Zhou Xia's expectations, from Xu Yaohui's previous expression, he guessed something.

Zhou Xia took this rare opportunity to carefully experience and deeply understand the artistic beauty contained in Zhu Zhishan's cursive script.

It is better to observe the original works up close than in a museum through glass. I don’t know if it is a copy or a genuine product, but it is much more practical.

When he experienced it carefully, time flew quickly. After Su Xiaoru had identified the other two works, she came over and asked her softly, "Senior Brother, is this work difficult to identify?"

Zhou Xia smiled and said, "It's really difficult. I'm trying to identify what words are written on it."

When Su Xiaoru heard this, she laughed and said, "Fortunately, I feel that Zhu Zhishan's cursive script is not as hard as Zhang Ruitu and Xie Tong. They are called ghost-painted peach talismans."

Zhou Xia said, "That's their style. I'll go and see how things are happening with Uncle Xu.

Su Xiaoru nodded and said yes, and it would not be too late to ask them for advice after she had finished appraisal of her own painting.

Xu Yaohui had previously identified Zhu Zhishan's works very slowly, and the remaining few works were much faster. Zhou Xia also came to discuss with him after he had finished identifying them.

Xu Yaohui also felt that Zhou Xia’s identification speed was relatively fast. Before Zhou Xia could speak, Xu Yaohui asked him, “Zhou Xia, what do you think of these works?”

Zhou Xia didn't keep it silent and replied directly, "It's all old things, the owner of this store is quite worthy of the title of conscience in the industry!"

Xu Yaohui laughed and nodded in recognition of his judgment, "It's really rare. The old things that are given samples, whether they are imitations or genuine, have considerable value, and are not comparable to modern high-quality imitations. However, the shortage of money in the pocket makes people feel troubled. This old Wang really gives people a problem. Even though I know that I can't resist the temptation, I still take out such things to seduce me."

Zhou Xia said, "I believe everyone should know now. Uncle Xu received a copy of Xuande Qing huā and had to go to the autumn auction, so he would not have to worry about losing money."

Xu Yaohui shook his head helplessly, "Yes, Yuqing and his team did a very good job in publicity. Not only did they release the news, but the auction catalog was also sent to Donghai collectors as soon as possible. But when the autumn auction ended, I don't know when I had to wait. Among these works, I am more optimistic about Zhu Zhishan's cursive poems, and Zhang Ruitu's other two works, although they are all old paper and ink, I feel that the charm is insufficient and does not look like the original works. Zhou Xia, what do you think?"

Zhou Xia said, "Uncle Xu has good eyesight. I have practiced calligraphy less since I was a child, and I have not studied this very well. But I can see that the other two works have traces of imitation, which is still somewhat different from the calligraphy works of Wen Zhengming and Xing Tong. However, I cannot find any fault with the two works mentioned by Uncle Xu, and it should be the authentic one. Zhu Zhishan's miscellaneous poems and cursive script style is unique, and others cannot copy them even if they want to copy them. "Zhang Ruitu's cursive script has his usual Mercury's effect of avoiding evil and disasters."

Xu Yaohui said happily, "Zhou Xia, you think so too! That's really a great thing. I personally like Zhu Zhishan's cursive script more. I feel that it has the style and charm of the Two Wangs, but it is not bound by it. Only those who have truly practiced can be clear. It is difficult to copy, and it is even more difficult to transcend innovation."

"Just!" Xu Yaohui's face was a little solemn, "The price of this genuine product will definitely not be low. If Lao Wang is willing to take out his final quality, he will never fool him like Lao Wang before. I guess it is impossible not to emit some blood this time, and this decision is really not easy."

"This is actually the norm. Buy real things to give real prices!" Zhou Xiagan said that although he often picks up bargains after the archaeological identification system, he cannot deny such facts. In reality, more often, after paying a large price, he bought all the Xiamen imitations. After all, picking up bargains is a very small probability event.

Xu Yaohui laughed, "You are right, buy real things to give real prices. Only choose the right ones, not expensive ones. When you encounter something you really like, you have to grit your teeth and take them down no matter how high the price is. I will talk to Lao Wang now. That old fox may be waiting for me to take the bait, but I was foolishly sent them forward. By the way, Zhou Xia, do you think these two paintings are the most suitable price to get."

Zhou Xia was a little surprised and immediately asked him, "Uncle Xu, are you planning to take down two paintings together?"

"It is rare to encounter such a good thing. Of course, you have to take it down, otherwise you may not have such opportunities in the future. If you make money or not, you won't think about those things. I want to buy them and collect them. Although the old man likes to play with porcelain, he also practices calligraphy every day. Since this cursive script by Zhu Zhishan is an authentic work, it is most suitable to buy it and give it to him. Of course, if Zhou Xia, if you like to buy and collect it, just tell me and I will give it to you." Xu Yaohui's eyes were bright and his words were straightforward.

"I am far from reaching that level. I have to work hard to recognize the cursive script above. Since Uncle Xu has decided to buy it, then buy it. I think, two works can be taken down within one million, even if they are worth it." It is said that the beauty of a gentleman is a man. How could Zhou Xia rob the one who respects Xu Zhendong? Besides, Zhou Xia does not have so much money now. Even if he has appreciated it, he doesn't have to get it.

Xu Yaohui replied, "It's similar to my psychological valuation. Tongxia, just wait for my good news. If you really buy it, we really have to celebrate."

Zhou Xia could see that Xu Yaohui was really determined to take it down. Zhou Xia felt that he had a new understanding of Xu Yaohui. When he first heard about him, Xu Yaohui was a prodigal son in Xu Zhendong's mouth and was not a good person. However, with later contact, he felt that he was not bad and was very easy to deal with.

Now, Zhou Xia knows that Xu Yaohui's economic situation is tense, so he really wants to take the initiative and buy these two paintings, but he still insists on collecting them. What kind of spirit is this? (To be continued)
