Chapter 207 Antique Level
"By the way, Xiao Ye, you said you would give me a surprise today, what about the surprise?" Grandpa Shen asked.

He didn't forget about it, and when he opened his eyes, he was thinking about what kind of surprise his grandson would give him.

"Master, do you want to guess what kind of surprise I will give you?" Shen Ye pretended to be mysterious.

Grandpa Shen thought for a while and asked, "Are you going to give me a big red envelope?"

"I'm not interested in that thing. I'm already old, and taking money is useless." Grandpa Shen asked himself and answered.

Shen Ye couldn't laugh or cry, grandpa was too cute.

"It's not a red envelope. Come on, Grandpa, you come with me." Shen Ye motioned for Grandpa to go to the study with him.

When Grandpa Shen heard that it was not a red envelope, he also looked forward to the surprise Shen Ye said, and followed Shen Ye happily.

Shen Ye took his grandparents to the study room.

Yesterday, Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen did not go to the study room when they visited, so they didn't know what treasures Shen Ye had.

"Xiao Ye, you are acting so mysterious, what kind of surprise are you planning to give me?" Grandpa Shen asked curiously.

"Hey, Grandpa, just watch it for yourself." Shen Ye pushed open the door of the study and motioned for Grandpa and Grandma to go inside.

There are quite a lot of treasures in Shen Ye's study. After getting a new study, he bought a lot of things he likes.

Things like books are also Grandpa Shen's favorite.

Seeing that there are many good things in Shen Ye's study, Grandpa Shen is happy.

"Why didn't you bring me here yesterday?" Grandpa Shen looked around and asked.

"If I had brought you here yesterday, you would probably have stayed here until midnight, so I didn't bring it on purpose." Shen Ye said mischievously.

What he said was not an exaggeration at all. He knew that his grandfather liked books the most.

When he was young, he saw his grandfather sometimes read a book, and he could read it all night.

Practicing calligraphy and so on, it takes one night to practice.

Do not stop.

If he had brought grandpa here last night, grandpa would probably have to read until midnight.

"Xiao Ye, are you still practicing calligraphy?" Grandpa Shen asked Shen Ye.

Grandpa Shen often taught Shen Ye to practice calligraphy when Shen Ye was young. Shen Ye's good calligraphy is all due to his grandfather.

Later, after Shen Ye went to high school and lost his grandfather's discipline, he slowly relaxed.

"Hey, it's gone." Shen Ye replied with a guilty conscience.

Sure enough, as soon as Shen Ye finished speaking, Grandpa's expression turned ugly.

"Practicing handwriting requires persistence every day. Practicing handwriting will not only help you write well, but also cultivate a calm temper..." Grandpa Shen began to preach to Shen Ye.

"Yes, yes, grandpa is right." Shen Ye nodded quickly.

Grandpa Shen began to browse in Shen Ye's study room, and when he came to a few paintings, he suddenly stopped.

"Ok?"

"Where is this from? The painting is so good."

Shen Ye smiled, but didn't speak.

Shen Ye wanted to see if grandpa liked calligraphy and painting so much, could he recognize the extraordinary things in those paintings.

The paintings that Grandpa Shen saw were dug up by Shen Ye in No. [-] Courtyard of Zhoujiakou.

There is a landscape painting by Gu Kaizhi, and there are several famous paintings with names from different eras.

Shen Ye hung up for him.

Since it is for appreciation, if you don’t hang it up, what do you keep it for?
"Does this painting have a lot of background?" After looking at it for a while, Grandpa Shen asked again.

"I don't know, Grandpa, do you think you like it? Take it away if you like it." Shen Ye said generously.

Upon hearing what Shen Ye said, Grandpa Shen's eyes immediately lit up.

Just like what Grandpa Shen said, he has no interest in things like money, mainly because it's useless for him to take those things.

But when it comes to calligraphy and painting, it's different.

He is very enthusiastic about these things, and Shen Ye really knows him very well.

"Xiaoye, you really understand grandpa's mind so well, I just like this." Grandpa Shen looked at those paintings happily, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them.

"Xiao Ye, where did your paintings come from? Why do I feel that these calligraphy and paintings seem to be old?" Grandpa Shen looked at the paintings carefully again, and always felt that there was something wrong.

Shen Ye likes painting and calligraphy, and he has also done some research in this area.

For so many years, grandpa will make sure to practice calligraphy every day, and he likes to draw pictures when he has nothing to do.

In this regard, Grandpa is really a very persevering person, and Shen Ye admires it very much.

Before grandpa came, Shen Ye had already thought about it, and when grandpa came, he would give these three paintings to grandpa.

Seeing that grandpa liked it so much, he was right.

When it comes to giving gifts to others, it doesn't matter whether they are expensive or not, what matters is the love of the recipient.

"Well, yes, Grandpa, can you choose a pair?" Shen Ye nodded.

Grandpa Shen looked again carefully, and said, "Xiao Ye, is this something of the antique level?"

"Are you really going to give it to grandpa?" Grandpa Shen asked.

Shen Ye naturally knew the value of these things, he nodded: "Well, if Grandpa likes it, I can give it to Grandpa."

"Xiao Ye, is your painting an antique?" Grandpa Shen asked.

Shen Ye was quite surprised, he didn't expect his grandfather to really see the extraordinaryness of these things.

"Yes, Grandpa, these should be ancient relics, I got them by chance."

"However, I'm not sure if it's a real antique, everyone's work."

Shen Ye's research on this aspect is not as good as his grandfather's. If his grandfather can't see it, then he can't see it even more.

"If these were left by the ancients, they would be priceless treasures." Grandpa Shen said excitedly.

Such a precious thing, his grandson actually said that he would give it to him?
"This one is a painting by Gu Kaizhi..." Grandpa Shen told everything he knew.

"Xiaoye, have you asked someone to appraise it?" Grandpa Shen asked.

Shen Ye shook his head: "That's not true."

"You take all these things for appraisal. If they are really ancient objects, they must be kept properly." Grandpa Shen said seriously.

"But the point is, I don't know anyone in this area." Shen Ye replied.

If there is an expert who knows this field, it is okay to take it for appraisal, but he doesn't know it, so he doesn't bother to worry about it.

"I might be able to find people in this field. I joined a calligraphy union before, and there are quite a few capable people in it. Maybe they can know experts in this field. Let me ask." Grandpa Shen As he spoke, he took out his elderly cell phone and started looking for a phone number.

……

Wang Li is the director of the Association of Cultural Relics Appraisal Experts. He is well-known in the field of cultural relics appreciation. As long as things that have passed his appraisal, they can't be wrong.

He received a call saying that someone wanted to ask him to identify the authenticity of cultural relics.

He replied indifferently: "Yes, but our association is not for charity. We have to collect money according to the rules. If you can accept it, come to me with something."
