The Xiao Chen fan in the Palace Museum is not a famous painting, so it's interesting that your artist chose to make a very good copy of it. Here's the original; you can see differences in the seated figure, the items on the table, and the added table at the left in your fan, among other changes: https://en.dpm.org.cn/dyx.html?path=/tilegenerator/dest/files/image/8831/2009/0371/img0008.xml

Your second fan is not in the same league, unfortunately. It claims to be by Wu Bin 吳彬, a Ming landscape painter whose work looks nothing like this. Wu's portrait of a scholar's rock brought a record high price for a classical painting last year, but is stylistically very different from your fan: https://en.thevalue.com/articles/poly-auction-ten-views-lingbi-stone-handscroll-ming-dynasty-record
