Chapter 203: It is easy to invite a god but difficult to send him away



Lin Han waved his hand and made a gesture of invitation: "Please lead the way!"

Yu Weiting was delighted and walked in front. Although she was still graceful, her attitude towards Lin Han was much more respectful than before.

"Actually, I heard from my father that you have made great achievements in antiques, so I took the liberty to make this request."

"It doesn't matter. Not many people here know me anyway."

Lin Han was telling the truth.

But he did not say his purpose.

He came here, firstly to make friends with Mr. Hong, and secondly to make a name for himself.

It was just like when he first went to Siping City to participate in the treasure appraisal conference. At that time, he was unknown.

But he became famous overnight through that treasure appraisal conference.

After that, the benefits he brought to Siping City were immeasurable.

Today, the guests at Mr. Hong’s birthday banquet are all wealthy businessmen. Today’s harvest should not be worse than the last time.

Led by Yu Weiting, Lin Han and others went to the next room.

In fact, the Hong Family Manor is called the inner hall, but it is actually similar to an independent palace.

After leaving the inner hall, they arrived at a luxuriously decorated place.

It should be a guest room for guests to rest, but now it has been changed into a VIP room.

Yu Weiting stopped at the door of the third VIP room, knocked gently, and heard a voice saying "come in" from inside, then she pushed the door open and walked in.

Sitting inside, above, was an old man with jet-black hair. One could tell he was quite old, but his skin and figure were well maintained.

On the left side of the old man, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie looked at Yu Weiting who walked in with some anger.

However, seeing that there were several young people following her, and they all seemed unfamiliar, the middle-aged man smiled contemptuously.

"Professor Chen, I invited my friend here. I don't mean to refute you, but we did spend a lot of effort on these things..."

Yu Weiting said this, motioning Lin Han and the others to take a seat.

And introduced Lin Han to the old man: "Dad, this is Lin Han."

The old man nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, young man."

Lin Han just nodded slightly and didn't say anything.

Professor Chen on the opposite side raised his eyelids, looked at Lin Han and asked, "Lin Han? I don't think I've heard of him. Who is his master?"

"No sect or school, runs an antique shop in Siping City."

"Hahaha!"

When Professor Chen heard him introduce himself, he actually laughed out loud.

"Boss Yu, if you want to find someone to overturn my appraisal, at least find someone of the same level as me. What's the point of finding someone like this?"

Before Yu Weiting's father could speak, she spoke coldly: "What era is it now? It doesn't matter where a hero comes from. Let's just look at the things first!"

Professor Chen was outmaneuvered by her. He curled his lips in annoyance, pointed at a scroll on the coffee table, and said to Lin Han, "Then take a look!"

Yu Weiting gently pushed the scroll in front of Lin Han and said softly, "Thank you, Mr. Lin."

The outer layer of the scroll was wrapped with moisture-proof paper. Lin Han gently opened it, and a silk scroll appeared in front of him.

Silk painting is different from ordinary rice paper painting.

Xuan paper has a relatively fine texture, and good quality Xuan paper is of superior workmanship. Two or three layers of Xuan paper can basically be insect-proof and anti-corrosion, and will not be damaged for ten years.

Silk painting is actually not suitable for painting. However, in the early Ming Dynasty, some painters liked silk.

At that time they generally used silk of better quality, and first put this layer on the rice paper, and then took the silk paper off after finishing the painting.

But judging from the silk in front of me, the quality does not seem to be very good, and the exposed section of the scroll does not quite match the period when the painting was made.

but……

The scroll may have been added during the restoration after the mid-Ming Dynasty. In other words, the silk painting is real and the scroll is also real, but they are not from the same era.

After making a basic judgment, Lin Han gently opened the scroll.

A corner of the river appeared on the silk paper, well, that's basically it.

“This picture is real!”

Lin Han rolled up the scroll that had just revealed two or three inches, and then said with certainty.

What?

Professor Chen, who was waiting for him to give a long speech, concluded that it was real when he saw that Lin Han did not even open the painting in less than a minute.

For a moment, Professor Chen was stunned, then he looked up to the sky and laughed.

Maybe it had been a long time since he had seen something so funny, he actually laughed to the point of tears in his eyes: "Boss Yu, is this the expert you invited? After all, you spent a lot of money to buy your paintings, and he looked at them for less than a minute, without even opening the painting! How can you conclude that it is real?"

"It's really ridiculous, really ridiculous! Fortunately, you have no master, otherwise you would be embarrassing your ancestors!"

The reactions of the Yu father and daughter were not much better than that of Professor Chen.

This landscape painting was bought by Mr. Yu in exchange for a house from someone more than ten years ago.

The other party was desperate at the time, but he still had a lot of things at home.

Boss Yu took the painting partly to help and partly to do business.

Although the house was not very valuable at that time, it was still considered a fixed asset. If it were worth at least five or six million yuan in Beijing today,

Lin Han made a judgment on such a valuable item within one minute. The Yu family’s father and daughter were a little bit unbelievable.

Boss Yu coughed lightly and asked, Lin Han said: "Mr. Lin, do you really not need to take another look?"

"No need. If you believe me, just give it as a birthday gift. If you don't, I can't do anything about it. Goodbye."

Lin Han didn't want to say more. After all, it was just a casual help, so he didn't want to argue with Professor Chen in front of him.

Unexpectedly, when Professor Chen heard that he was leaving, he refused.

"That won't do! You just said it casually, it's true, and then you want to ruin my reputation. Is there such a cheap thing in the world?"

"Professor Chen, this matter has nothing to do with Lin Han. If you feel uncomfortable, feel free to come to me. I was the one who found Lin Han." Yu Weiting took the responsibility on herself, not wanting Lin Han to be implicated.

“No, no, no,” Professor Chen waved his hand. “We’ll talk about it later. I must find out today whether the thing is real or not.”

"Then how are you going to figure it out?" Lin Han stopped and turned to ask Professor Chen.

"Let me tell you this! Besides me, my senior brother Dong has also seen this painting. This is our opinion. I'll ask Academician Luo to come over!"

Hearing him say this, Yu Weiting was slightly surprised, but she still looked up at Lin Han, wanting to ask for his opinion.

"Whatever, I'll wait a little longer then!"

Lin Han and Academician Luo have fought several times. It can be seen that Academician Luo's status in the Hong family is not low. If he could come, Lin Han would be more than happy to do so.

Professor Chen snorted, took out his cell phone and called Academician Luo.

Judging from his tone, he should be at about the same level as Academician Luo.
