"How about Master Zhu, this authentic painting is so attractive, isn't it?" Liuyuan said proudly.
However, Zhu Changqing shook his head: "This painting is not an authentic work, but a copy."
"What are you talking about, Master Zhu? Are you mistaken?" Liu Yuan frowned, showing a shocked expression, and his voice became trembling: "Master Zhu, you... take a closer look, but Qian Qian You must not be mistaken.”
There was firmness in Zhu Changqing's eyes as he said: "I absolutely cannot be wrong, because this is the work I copied twenty years ago, and I am very familiar with my own brushwork."
As soon as these words came out, the whole room was in an uproar.
"I'll go! It's actually a copy of Master Zhu's early work!"
"This is a big loss, Ming Qinghua has replaced it with a fake one!"
Yanagi Yuan seemed to have been hit by a thunderbolt from the clear sky, and his entire face went numb.
It was a Ming Dynasty blue and white plum vase passed down from his family, but in the end it was replaced by a copy.
Seeing Liu Yuan's blank face, Zhu Changqing continued, "Nephew Liu, you must have been deceived. Hurry up and find a way to recover it and make up for the loss as much as possible."
Yanagi Yuan still said unwillingly: "Master Zhu, take a closer look and see if you have admitted your mistake. I got this from a foreign collector in exchange for Ming blue and white. How could your copy work go abroad?" ah?"
Zhu Changqing, however, was very calm. He explained: "This is nothing unusual. There are many scammers selling fake antiques abroad. Some people buy fakes from China and then sell them abroad. They call themselves a certain collector. Business is very good, I am famous for copying the paintings of great painters of the Republic of China, so it is normal for me to be targeted by criminals."
Zhu Changqing paused for a moment, and then sighed again: "Well, this painting is just a copy of my early practice work. It is relatively rough and far inferior to my current level. Nephew Liu Xian, I really didn't expect you. You will be fooled."
It would be okay if he didn't listen to this, but Liu Yuan felt even more shameless when he heard this.
He didn't expect that Chu Yang would be fooled. This ancient painting was actually a copy.
He was so angry when he thought about it that he had dug a hole for himself. He really regretted deliberately inviting Zhu Changqing here. If he had given the painting to Han Meng in a daze, he would not have slapped himself in the face and made himself embarrassed in front of everyone.
"Mengmeng, I'm sorry, I didn't know this painting was fake." Liu Yuan said to Han Meng with a bitter face.
Han Meng was very disappointed. She thought she got a treasure, but it turned out to be a fake. Her birthday party was too bad.
Not only that, but mainly he was laughed at by his best friend Lin Wanyu.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Oh, Wanyu's boyfriend really got it wrong. Mr. Liu was instantly outclassed, and even I was made to look like a human inside and out. It was so unlucky, but luckily Wanyu The gifts given by my boyfriend are even more rubbish, otherwise Mr. Liu would be even more embarrassed."
She forced a smile on her face and said, "Young Master Liu, don't blame yourself. This was not your original intention. You have to worry a lot about the land in Nancheng District."
Liuyuan patted his chest and said, "No problem, I will definitely handle this matter properly."
At this moment, Zhu Changqing noticed the blood cistanche on the table, and his eyes were immediately attracted. He quickly bent down and stretched his head to get a closer look.
"Huh? It's actually Blood Cistanche!"
Zhu Changqing recognized this thing, and he quickly asked: "Where did you get this blood cistanche?"
"Master Zhu, what do you mean by blood cistanche?" Han Meng asked curiously.
Zhu Changqing pointed to the ugly-looking stick on the table and said, "That's it."
When Han Meng learned that Zhu Changqing was asking about this stick, she immediately lost interest. She said casually: "Oh, Master Zhu, it was given to me by my best friend's boyfriend."
"Who? Who is it?" Zhu Changqing asked again.
Han Meng didn't even bother to point it out to Zhu Changqing. She pursed her lips in the direction of Chu Yang and said, "Na, that's the one."
Zhu Changqing looked excited and quickly shook hands with Chu Yang several times, as if he had found some treasure.
"Young man, this is a rare elixir in the world. Where did you get it? I have been looking for it for twenty years!"
