Tang Yin, whose courtesy name was Bohu, is also known as Tang Bohu, the leader of the four great talents of Jiangnan.
This painting of setting sun and solitary wild goose is a representative work of Tang Bohu's landscape painting and is of extremely high value.
Tang Bohu was impressed by Wang Bo's talent and specially created this painting of setting sun and solitary wild goose.
In the painting, there are high mountains, steep willows and a water pavilion overlooking the river. A man is sitting in the pavilion, watching the setting sun and a lone wild goose. The mist and waves are vast, the scenery is vast and the state of mind is tranquil. One look at it will make you unable to look away.
In the upper left corner of the scroll there is a poem written by Tang Bohu himself:
The painted buildings and pearl curtains are shrouded in mist and water, and the lone wild goose disappears into thin air. I have wanted to see Wang Nanhai for a thousand years and once asked for a gust of wind from the Dragon King.
Among the people present, many were connoisseurs and were immediately attracted by the five paintings on the stage. They all came closer to observe, wanting to see the original works of Tang Bohu.
The figure of Tang Yin has already had a certain legendary color among the people. His painting of Sunset Clouds and Solitary Wild Goose is even more sought after by many people. Moreover, the painting of Sunset Clouds and Solitary Wild Goose that Dong Zhen took out is well preserved. If it is put up for auction, the price will probably be over 100 million!
As everyone observed it closely, the value of the Painting of Setting Sun and Solitary Wild Goose spread among them, and everyone showed expressions of shock.
Paintings worth hundreds of millions were actually taken out as gifts?
Isn’t Mr. Dong Zhen’s handiwork too big?
This one surpassed more than 20 families in the capital!
He is indeed a leading figure in the antique world of Xia Country!
While discussing, everyone once again felt a strong sense of envy, jealousy and hatred towards the Shen family!
Why can't such good things happen to me?
When Dong Zhen saw everyone's reaction, a smug look appeared on his face. He had no intention of stopping them and let everyone watch carefully.
He came here this time, ostensibly to celebrate Shen Hong's birthday, but in reality, he wanted to get back the ground he had lost a few days ago.
Who is Dong Zhen?
Xia Country is recognized as a master of antiques. No one will doubt the things he has seen because he is the true authority.
But just a few days ago at a charity auction, the bronze sword Wu Chengyin took out was proved to be a fake, which was really a slap in his face.
He had already started his retirement life and just wanted to enjoy his later years, but who could have thought that something like this would happen, ruining his reputation in his later years.
In order to get back at Shen Qi, he made a special trip from the capital.
Of course, just rushing over would not be enough. If he wanted to get back at the place, he had to be fully prepared, so he reluctantly took out the authentic Tang Yin painting "Setting Clouds and Solitary Wild Goose" that he had collected for a long time.
After the audience quieted down a bit, Dong Zhen continued, "Mr. Shen Qi, today I have brought five paintings of setting sun and solitary wild geese. However, only one is an authentic Tang Yin painting; the other four are forgeries. Mr. Shen Qi, please come up and choose one as a birthday gift for Patriarch Shen!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Qi.
What does Dong Zhen mean by this?
Could it be that his purpose in coming here was not simply to wish Shen Hong a happy birthday, but to compete with Shen Qi?
Gao Qingmu and Wu Chengyin looked at each other and immediately understood Dong Zhen's thoughts.
If Shen Qi cannot find the authentic works of Tang Yin among these five paintings, it means that Shen Qi is not as good as Dong Zhen in this respect. Even if Dong Zhen regains his position, he can return to the capital with satisfaction and live out his life in peace.
Although Dong Zhen did not mention the charity auction and the bronze sword from beginning to end, many people who had participated in the charity auction could see what Dong Zhen was thinking.
Shen Qi was of course no exception. Since Dong Zhen had made a move, there was no reason for him to retreat. He immediately walked onto the stage and faced Dong Zhen.
"Mr. Dong is a guest from afar, and this authentic Tang Yin painting of Sunset Clouds and Solitary Wild Goose is priceless. Mr. Dong, don't you feel any regret for giving such a valuable gift?"
Dong Zhen stroked his beard and chuckled, "No matter how precious something is, it only finds its home in the hands of someone who can truly appreciate it. Mr. Shen Qi wants to take the Sunset Clouds and Solitary Wild Goose Painting. Not only must you be able to find the authentic Tang Yin painting among these five paintings, but you must also explain why the other four are forgeries. If you can do this, I will definitely not feel bad!"
Hearing this, Shen Hong also understood that the old man Dong Zhen did not come to celebrate the birthday, but to cause trouble for Shen Qi.
If I had known you had bad intentions, I shouldn’t have let you in just now!
Although my second uncle is very powerful and possesses god-like abilities, he is still not sure about identifying Tang Yin's authentic works.
Not only Shen Hong, but others also understood what Dong Zhen meant.
So Dong Zhen’s purpose for coming here this time is not simple?
So, can Shen Qi, who is quite mysterious, cope with it?
Everyone's eyes fell on Shen Qi.
Shen Qi smiled, "Since Mr. Dong is so kind, I will respectfully obey your orders! Chen Qiu, are you getting angry?"
“I brought it!”
Shen Qiu hurried over and took out a lighter.
Shen Qi nodded and looked at Shen Hong again, "Do we have 300 million in our Shen family account?"
"have!"
Shen Hong was puzzled, but he quickly replied.
Shen Qi nodded and said, "Mr. Dong, let's put a price on Tang Yin's authentic painting of Sunset Clouds and Solitary Wild Goose at 300 million. What do you think?"
Dong Zhen looked at Shen Qi, then at the lighter in Shen Qiu's hand, and her expression finally changed.
"Mr. Shen Qi, what are you going to do?"
Shen Qi smiled and said, "Of course, I'll choose the authentic Tang Yin painting from the five. Also, I have to say one thing: I hate fakes the most. Later, no matter which painting I identify as a fake, I'll have Chen Qiu burn it. If, due to my momentary shortsightedness, I burn the authentic Tang Yin painting, I'll have to pay Mr. Dong three hundred million in compensation. What do you think?"
