Chapter 425 - 425 Tremble in Front of Grand Master Zhu!
425 Tremble in Front of Grand Master Zhu!
Ye Feng turned a deaf ear to the shouts of those young men. He only stared at Zhu Wenkai.
Zhu Wenkai was not angry at all. He only nodded lightly. “Then I’ll show my embarrassment.”
As he spoke, he picked up the painting.
“Although this painting is not signed, there is no seal that can prove its origin. However, judging from the style and charm of the brush, it should be a work of practice by Fu Baoshi..”
Old Sun’s eyes immediately widened.
He revealed a look of disbelief.
He originally thought that although the other party could obtain the final answer in such a short period of time.
Just because time was fast did not mean that he could get it right.
However, he never expected that the answer given by the other party would be exactly the same as his conclusion.
Furthermore, Sun Shouyi had used all sorts of methods to find the seller. After a long period of investigation, he finally confirmed that this painting was Fu Baoshi’s work of practicing his brush strokes in his spare time.
At that time, Fu Baoshi had thrown it into the dustbin after he finished drawing it, so there was no signature on it. It was just that he did not know how it had spread.
Zhu Wenkai only took a few glances and gave the final correct answer.
This insight and experience were truly shocking!
Yan Hongcai knew the result from his expression, but he still asked the obvious.
“How is it, Manager Sun? Did Grand Master Zhu get it right?”
Sun Shouyi smiled bitterly and nodded. “That’s right. Grand Master Zhu is right.”
After receiving his confirmation, the group of young people from Ancient Treasure Workshop immediately burst into enthusiastic applause.
At the same time, they looked at Ye Feng proudly.
“Did you see that? This is a true master.”
“Grand Master Zhu only took two looks and got the correct answer. This is strength.”
“Are you dumbfounded? Have you ever seen such ability? You probably haven’t even heard of it, right?”
“You dare to question Grand Master Zhu’s strength? Who gave you the guts?”
“Your Maple Leaf Pavilion’s strength is too weak. To Grand Master Zhu, this isn’t a challenge at all.”
She didn’t expect Master Zhu to be so powerful.
With just a few glances, he saw through the difficult problem that Old Sun had carefully prepared.
Thinking of this, she quickly looked at Ye Feng.
However, he was still calm and had a good attitude.
Lin Qianqian was stunned. Was she making a fuss over nothing?
Ye Feng said calmly: “Continue.”
Zhu Wenkai put down the landscape painting, picked up the porcelain bottle beside him, and flipped it to the bottom.
“From the inscription below this porcelain bottle, it should be the official kiln of Xuande…”
When he said this, the corners of Old Sun’s mouth inadvertently curled into a faint smile.
It seemed that this Grand Master Zhu was going to be eye-catching.
But before he could be happy…
Grand Master Zhu continued, “But from the mouth, shape, glaze, and decorative patterns of this porcelain bottle, it’s obviously a modern imitation.”
Lin Qianqian suddenly interjected, “You just said that the signature was undoubtedly from the official kiln of Xuande years. Now you’re saying that it’s a modern replica? Isn’t this self-contradictory?”
Zhu Wenkai stroked his goatee and smiled faintly.
“Because this porcelain bottle itself is contradictory. If this old man’s guess is correct, this porcelain bottle originally only had a bottle bottom left, and this part is indeed the authentic product of the Ming Xuande official kiln…”
As he spoke up to this point, he shot a glance at Sun Shouyi. “However, the bottle was made by the later generations. That’s why such a contradictory phenomenon appeared.”
After he finished speaking, Sun Shouyi looked as though he had seen a ghost, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
Yan Hongcai seized the opportunity and asked again, “Manager Sun, I wonder if Grand Master Zhu is right this time?”
Sun Shouyi couldn’t help but smile bitterly.
“I bought this porcelain bottle at a low price last year. I was proud of it for a long time. However, someone later reminded him that this porcelain bottle was a little strange. To be on the safe side, I borrowed modern instruments to conduct a test on it..”
“The final result is that the bottom of this porcelain bottle is authentic, but the upper part of the bottle is indeed a replica. It’s just that the craftsmanship is too exquisite, so even I was deceived…”
At this point, he looked at Zhu Wenkai blankly.
“I didn’t expect Grand Master Zhu to be able to see the true origin of this porcelain bottle with just a pair of naked eyes. I, Old Sun, am truly convinced.”
Hearing his words, the young men of the Ancient Treasure Workshop cheered again.
“Hahaha, I knew that Grand Master Zhu would definitely be extraordinary when he attacked, but I didn’t expect him to be so powerful. Is he still human? This is a god!”
“Just now, there was actually someone who doubted Grand Master Zhu’s strength.”
“A frog in a well cannot speak of the sea, and a summer insect cannot speak of ice. How could such a person know Grand Master Zhu’s ability?”
“He’s really blinded his dog eyes. Let him see what a true antique master is!”
“Kid, are you scared? Hurry up and tremble in front of Grand Master Zhu!”
Yan Hongcai did not mock Ye Feng because of his status, but he was still filled with disdain for Ye Feng.
A brat who didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth actually dared to question Grand Master Zhu?
The ignorant were truly fearless!
When Lin Qianqian heard Ye Feng being mocked, she wanted to defend him.
However, she really could not find a reason to explain.
After all, Ye Feng had spoken rudely to Grand Master Zhu earlier.
Now that he had solved two difficult questions in a row and displayed the true strength of an antique master, he was slapped in the face.
What was there to explain?
Yan Hongcai turned his head and looked at Sun Shouyi.
“Manager Sun, did you only prepare these two antiques? If there isn’t a third item, then our Ancient Treasure Workshop will win this competition.”
When Sun Shouyi heard this, he immediately let out a long sigh.
He knew that once the Ancient Treasure Workshop moved into Zhonghai, it would pose a huge threat to Maple Leaf Pavilion.
But he had no choice.
Who would have thought that the other party would invite Grand Master Zhu Wenkai?
He was not qualified to fight with a master of this level.
“In this competition, the Ancient Treasure Workshop is indeed better…”
He was about to admit defeat.
At this time, Ye Feng, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
“I have an antique here that I would like to ask Grand Master Zhu to help me look at.”
