Chapter 272 This is the real Yuan Qinghua! (Part 2)
"Teacher Fu"
After entering the old house, Cai Weilan greeted him loudly.
Immediately, I saw a white-haired old lady walking out of a room. The old lady looked very thin and frail.
"Hey, it's Xiao Cai?!" the old lady greeted.
Cai Weilan immediately rushed up with He Qing and Lin Haitao, and said with a smile: "Teacher Fu, how are you doing recently? Is everything okay?"
The old lady nodded happily and said, "It's still the same, but nothing's wrong. Who are these two young men?"
She directed her gaze towards He Qing and the two men who were standing next to Cai Weilan. Cai Weilan quickly pointed at He Qing and introduced them: "Teacher Fu, let me introduce you first. These two are friends from Jiangzhou. They are antique dealers."
Expert, don’t you still want to find someone to appraise the pieces of porcelain you have? So, I finally invited them here, and they all have very good eyesight!”
She happily introduced He Qing and the others to the kind-faced, thin old woman, and said to He Qing: "Mr. He, this is Teacher Fu. She used to be a people's teacher, but now she is retired. Due to poor health,
, has been resting at home."
"Hello, Teacher Fu." He Qing said hello with a smile, and Lin Haitao also greeted politely.
Teacher Fu said happily: "Hello, these two young men turned out to be appraisal experts? Xiao Cai invited you to help me look at things, that's great! Please come in quickly!"
At that moment, she enthusiastically invited He Qing and the others into the house. Although the furnishings in the house were very simple, they were neatly tidied.
After asking He Qing and the others to sit down, Teacher Fu made another pot of tea and said, "Xiao Cai, I told you. I have always had hope for this batch of porcelain passed down by our old man. If it is not confirmed, I will
He won't give up."
Cai Weilan smiled and nodded: "I know. Teacher Fu, have you read today's newspaper?"
Teacher Fu nodded and replied: "Yes. I have seen it, and someone sent it to me early in the morning."
Cai Weilan said: "Then you must have read the Xinnet article on the front page?"
"I have read it," Teacher Fu replied, "The young expert mentioned above is very powerful. He has solved a doubt in many people's minds."
Cai Weilan said with a smile: "You don't know. In fact, Mr. He is the young appraiser who is already famous in the capital!"
"Oh, really?!" After hearing what Cai Weilan said, Teacher Fu glanced at He Qing. There was a look of admiration in his eyes.
"Well, yes!" Cai Weilan nodded vigorously and said solemnly, "Teacher Fu, I have invited him here now to help you palm your eyes. With his appraisal, you should feel relieved, right?"
"That's right!" Teacher Fu nodded and agreed without hesitation, "I believe him! Young man, thank you very much for taking the trouble to make this trip."
He Qing shook his head and smiled: "Teacher Fu, you're welcome. It's just a little effort. I don't know if I can help you."
"You must have seen it accurately!" Teacher Fu said with confidence. He Qing's arrival made him quite happy, as if he suddenly saw hope and firmly believed that the other party could "rehabilitate" the collection in her hand and let her
recognized by the outside world.
"I hope I won't disappoint you." He Qing replied.
Then Cai Weilan asked Teacher Fu to take out the pieces of porcelain so that He Qing and the others could do an appraisal. Teacher Fu readily agreed. Then she and Cai Weilan moved the pieces of porcelain out of an inner room and carefully placed them
Show it to He Qing and others on the table.
There are five or six pieces of porcelain in total. At first glance, they all appear to be exquisite, antique and full of charm.
"Brother Qing, these are all enamel porcelain!" Lin Haitao couldn't help being surprised when he saw it, "It's quite beautiful!"
"Yes." He Qing responded lightly. At this moment, he was staring at the pieces of porcelain closely, his face was slightly different, and he was thoughtful.
"Mr. He, how are you? These porcelains were left by Mr. Fu's late husband. Didn't you know that their ancestor had a champion who was a high official in the Qing court, so there are many imperial gifts?
, the batch of porcelain you see now was brought out from the palace by their ancestors." Cai Weilan explained in detail, "Do you think the things brought out from the palace may be fakes? If the royal family all uses fakes.
, that would be too unreasonable!”
"Impossible!" He Qing shook his head solemnly, "The emperor uses fine products from official kilns, there is no doubt about it!"
Hearing his categorical answer, Teacher Fu and Cai Weilan looked at each other, both smiled, and seemed very happy, because they could hear from the other party's words that those porcelains that had been rejected by many experts might have something to do with it.
Because the other party recognized the palace porcelain very much.
Cai Weilan asked casually and said, "Mr. He, do you think this batch of porcelain in Teacher Fu's house is genuine?"
However, He Qing shook his head decisively and sighed: "Teacher Fu, I'm sorry, but I have to tell you that this batch of porcelain of yours is all fakes, not a single one of them is wrong. Those experts are right.
"
"ah?!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Cai Weilan and Teacher Fu were shocked, but even Lin Haitao, who was standing next to them, had a look of surprise on his face.
"Then...then what I'm guarding is a bunch of useless things?! I actually guarded it for decades!" Teacher Fu said in a trembling voice, with a cry in her voice. Her face turned pale at this moment, and she was extremely sad.
Look.
Suddenly, her weak body shook violently, and she was about to fall down.
"Teacher Fu" He Qing quickly stretched out his hand to support him.
"Teacher Fu, don't get excited. It's okay. No matter what the outcome is, we will find a way to help you." Cai Weilan comforted and helped Teacher Fu sit on the sofa.
"Brother Qing, this... this is impossible?! You said so many pieces of enamel are all fakes?!" Lin Haitao whispered in surprise. He couldn't believe that a pile of such bright and elegant porcelains were all fakes.
, nothing is left behind.
He Qing nodded and said, "Yes. A fake is a fake. This is a fact. We cannot deceive Teacher Fu."
"Of course, it's just... I think these porcelains are very beautiful, and the patina is relatively obvious. They don't look like fakes. How come you can see the problem at a glance? What's wrong?" Lin Haitao asked repeatedly.
Dao, full of curiosity.
He Qing replied: "I do not deny that this batch of porcelain is well made. They are all beautifully made and have almost no flaws at first glance, but they are only high imitations and not genuine Qing court enamel porcelain."
"Hey. That's such a pity!" Lin Haitao sighed sadly, "I was shocked when I saw that batch of porcelain just now. I thought that Teacher Fu has so many fine enamelware products at home. Each piece costs at least several hundred dollars.
Ten thousand, the total value of this amount is inestimable, and the cash exchanged can literally fill the entire room!"
He Qing nodded and said: "Well, enamel colors are very popular in the auction market now. They can often fetch sky-high prices. There are not a few that exceed 100 million, right?"
Lin Haitao suddenly lowered his voice and said in He Qing's ear: "Didn't Teacher Fu say that this batch of porcelain was handed down from their ancestors? Since it was definitely brought from the palace, how could it be that they were fakes and all of them were the same?
Yes?! Could it be..."
He hesitated to speak, but He Qing wanted to know what he wanted to say. In their industry, the origin of antiques is a trap. Many people are making up stories, and the origin of antiques mentioned by Teacher Fu is the most commonly heard story.
, so it is inevitable to make people suspicious.
"I believe that Teacher Fu and others are telling the truth." He Qing said solemnly, "These porcelains are fakes, but it doesn't mean that they don't have real antiques!"
"Brother Qing, you...what do you mean by this?" Lin Haitao asked in confusion. The other party's words seemed to have deep meaning, which made him anxious.
He Qing smiled faintly and said: "Haitao, please be patient. You will know what it means later."
"Ah?!" Hearing He Qing whet his appetite, Lin Haitao smiled bitterly, but if the other party didn't tell him now, he had no choice but to wait patiently for the other party to reveal the mystery.
"Teacher Fu, don't be too sad."
Later, He Qing gently sat on the chair next to Teacher Fu and comforted him with gentle words: "Isn't there a saying that is very popular now, which is 'When God closes a door, he will definitely open it for you.
A window, everything will be fine, everything bad will pass."
What he said was so profound that not only Lin Haitao couldn't understand it, but Cai Weilan also couldn't understand it.
Teacher Fu looked exhausted and said feebly: "Xiao He, please stop comforting me. I believe in you so much that I reacted so strongly. In the past, when I heard this news from other appraisers,
I'm always relatively calm. I couldn't believe this fact before, but now I finally accept it. That's all, I have no hope anymore. Let's just think that I had a beautiful dream. Now that I woke up from the dream, my hope was shattered, and I also
It’s time to return to reality. I just feel sad that I can’t help those children. To be honest, I am alone now. I am so old and in poor health. I know that I will not live long.
, so I really want to do something while I am still alive, something meaningful to society.
"You also know that I am a teacher. I have taught for forty or fifty years. My world is teaching. Now I can no longer teach, but I still want to help those children who are thirsty for knowledge but do not have the conditions.
.You haven’t seen it. You don’t know how poor those places in the Western Mountains are. The environment for children to go to school is so bad. Most families don’t even have enough to eat. How can they still afford to send their children to school?
If you go to school, there is no school where you can study!
"My biggest ideal is to build a Hope Primary School in the place I visited, but Xiao Cai knows the situation in my family best. My wife passed away early, and my only son is disobedient. He is now in jail and locked up in his room.
Well, I have no hope at all for him. Outside, he will only bring harm to the family. It was a headache when his father was alive... It seems that one day last year, I accidentally saw an article from Xiao Cai's newspaper office.
There was a piece of news in a newspaper, saying that a piece of porcelain had been auctioned for tens of millions, and that piece of porcelain was exactly the same as the one in our home. When I learned the news, I was so excited at the time.
I couldn't sleep for several nights because I knew that if the batch of porcelain left by my old man was so valuable, then my ideal would be easily realized. Not only would I be able to open a Hope Primary School, but I would also be able to make a larger donation and be able to continue to do so.
Send those children to college so that they can get ahead and change their fate of being born in poverty! But...
"My hope is completely shattered! I feel sorry for the children who have been writing to me. I had a beautiful dream, but they still cannot afford to go to school..."
She spoke for a long time, during which He Qing and Cai Weilan listened quietly with their ears raised, and no one interrupted her.
She shed tears at the end and her body was shaking slightly.
Cai Weilan has a soft temper. When she heard this, she couldn't help crying. She hugged Teacher Fu and said, "Teacher Fu, there are us! Don't worry. I will find a way to make this dream come true for you! I will!"
"Teacher Fu, Miss Cai is right. Even if you can't exert your strength, there are thousands of good-hearted people in the society who will lend a helping hand!"
Teacher Fu's words moved him deeply, and his spirit was very admirable.
