Chapter 8 Appreciation of Treasures
Compared to the summer here, it is located in the large hospital in Jianghai City at this time.
"Director Li, how are you doing?"
"Mr. Xu, we have no way to check it. Mr. Xu couldn't hold on for even half a minute. When we did the examination for him, he even pulled him in the examination room." Director Li was also very helpless at this time.
"Has someone been drugged?"
"We have tested it, and there is no trace of drugging. Now Mr. Xu has nothing to quench. He has lost ten kilograms in just one afternoon. If this continues, he will die." Director Li thought about all the ways he could think of, but he still couldn't find out what was wrong.
"Ten Jin? This is going to die." Xu Qinghua is Xu Shaocong's father. He only has a son like Xu Shaocong. Although his son usually only causes trouble outside, what is he doing to make money?
Now that his son suddenly became like this, how could he not be in a hurry?
"Master, we have asked the young master just now. He had a conflict with a student named Xia Tian at school today. Then the student said he would be careful of diarrhea after going back." The housekeeper of the Xu family had already asked about it and asked Xu Shaocong about what happened.
"Has the person been sent out?" Xu Qinghua nodded with satisfaction.
"I have already set out, I'll ask A San to take two people there." The housekeeper of the Xu family specifically emphasized A San that A San is not an ordinary person, a retired special forces soldier. It is said that he has performed dozens of large-scale missions and has obtained second-class merit. However, he was injured in his left leg and forced to retire.
Xu Qinghua once happened to save A San's life, so A San has been living and dying for the Xu family over the years, which is also the most proud thing for Xu Qinghua.
He is most at ease with Asan taking action.
At this time, Xia Tian didn't know that he had been targeted, so he was in a very good mood when he bought the ancient Buddha relics.
His father once said about the ancient Buddha's relics that only when the enlightened monk passed away can a relic be condensed, and the ancient Buddha's relics only appear in legends.
It is said that after the ancient gods and Buddhas passed away, in order to wash away the sins of the world, the relics would disappear from the sky and fall into the land of Jiuzhou at the moment of their appearance.
The glory shines on the people in the world. Xia Tian used to think that this was just a mythological story told by his father, but he didn't expect that this kind of thing actually existed. With such a strong light, Xia Tian knew that he had never read it wrong.
"Hmph, I'm so embarrassed to say that it's rich in five hundred yuan in front of me." Old Master Xu snorted coldly. This was the first time he was provoked, and he was a boy under twenty.
"I just heard someone say you are a treasure appraiser, aren't you?" Xia Tian suddenly looked at Mr. Xu. Although he didn't want to cause trouble, Mr. Xu didn't seem to let him go.
"That's right, who doesn't know me, Xu Dechuan, on this antique street?" Mr. Xu said proudly. His reputation on this street is very high, and this is also his proud capital. He was originally from the Xu family among the four major families in Jianghai City, but when he was young, he liked to play with these antiques, so the family's industry finally fell into the hands of his brother.
He once fought for it, but unfortunately he failed in the end. Later, his brother died, and the family's consortium fell into the hands of his nephew Xu Qinghua. Xu Qinghua would make him a monthly expense, but that little money was a drop in the bucket for the entire Xu family.
So he made up his mind to take back the family's property, but why should he fight with Xu Qinghua? That is money and power. The best way to get money and power is here.
Over the years he has gained enough prestige and status.
"How about I compete with you?" Xia Tian smiled slightly. This old guy was a little interesting, and his status here seemed to be very high, which would be very useful to him in the future.
"Compare with me, what are you comparing?" Mr. Xu suddenly felt very funny.
"It's better than you're the best. If you pick five items here, I'll find out all the items that are not antiques from the five items. As long as you're wrong, I'll lose." Xia Tian has to compare to see who has the ability to find antiques.
"Haha, boy, you're showing off your skills, but what if you lose?" Mr. Xu said with a laugh.
"I lose? Then I won't leave here alive." Xia Tian's mouth slanted slightly: "If you lose, then buy me something I like."
"I really don't know the world is so strong." Old Master Xu looked at Xia Tian disdainfully: "If I win, I don't need you to die, but I want you to give your life to me."
Xu Dechuan felt that the boy in front of him was very interesting, which reminded him of A San beside Xu Qinghua. Maybe this was a god-given opportunity. If he also got a loyal subordinate like A San, it would definitely be a big gain. He won this competition firmly, and even he could not find real antiques and treasures without relying on instruments.
Otherwise, he would have been rich long ago, and his success rate was only about 10%, because many high imitations and treasures were enough to make the real ones fake. In other words, he could only find a real antique and ask the kid to guess, and no matter what, the kid could not guess.
As for the real antique, it’s simple. He just needs to borrow one from a store. He still has the face of Xu Dechuan.
Xia Tian sat there and waited, while Mr. Xu went to find his five gambling items. When the people around him heard that Mr. Xu was going to bet with people to guess antiques, hundreds of people gathered around him.
Xu Dechuan didn't know what happened to him today, so why did he compete with this kid, but he was very serious. He picked a small thing in an antique shop and then went to find a few imitation antiques, which he could not tell with his naked eyes.
There were also a few small items bought from the stalls. Those people thought it was Mr. Xu who asked for it, but Xu Dechuan still threw 200 yuan each.
"Boy, you're bringing the things, come and check them." The bodyguard behind Mr. Xu took five items and placed them on a square table in front of Xia Tian.
There was a lot of discussion around him, most of whom were saying that Xia Tian didn't know how to live or die, and he actually dared to compete with Mr. Xu in the test treasure. Mr. Xu was a treasure appraiser on the antique street.
It was impossible for Xia Tian to guess it if he gave the question.
The five treasures on the table are a wooden box, a large porcelain bottle, a plate, a crystal clear stone and a bracelet.
Looking at the five treasures on the table, Summer opened its perspective eyes.
"How is it? Boy, it's too late to admit defeat now." Old Master Xu touched his goatee. Every time he touched his goatee, it means he was sure to win.
Xia Tian first picked up the wooden box and threw it directly to Xu Dechuan: "Really."
"Okay, you won. This is the dressing box used by Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty." Mr. Xu did not cheat, which was related to his reputation. Although he knew that Xia Tian might have encountered it by chance, he had to admit it.
At this time, some people in the crowd began to say things like summer dog luck, confrontation with one.
Xia Tian ignored what those people said and picked up the large vase again. When she saw Xia Tian picking up the large vase, Xu Dechuan smiled slightly. If he hadn't known in advance that this thing was a fake, he would not be able to tell the authenticity, and the imitation level of the creation would be too high.
He never believed that Xia Tian could see the authenticity of this thing. At that time, Xia Tian would definitely guess it was true and the gambling would be over.
Xia Tian picked up the vase and smiled slightly: "Mr. Xu, if I guess an item is really a fake, then it doesn't matter if it is damaged?"
"Of course, it's just a fake, I can afford it." Mr. Xu just finished his words.
With a bang, the vase had already fallen to the ground. Everyone present was stunned when they saw Xia Tian’s actions. The vase was a good thing no matter who looked at the vase, and there were suddenly sounds of regret and curses around them.
Xia Tian ignored those people and picked up a piece of fragments on the ground. The words written on the fragments were made by Fang Quzi. When everyone saw these words, they knew that Xia Tian had guessed it right again.
Who is Fang Quzi? He is a famous master of counterfeits. It is said that the counterfeits he made cannot be seen from the appearance of the appearance, and must rely on instruments to check them out.
"Made of Fang Quzi?" Xu Dechuan was stunned when he saw these words: "How is this possible? How did you guess it?"
Xu Dechuan was surprised not because Xia Tian guessed correctly again, but because Xia Tian actually saw through the fakes imitated by Fang Quzi. If the identification was divided into grades, it could be roughly divided into five levels, and he should be considered third-class. As for Fang Quzi's fakes, it is said that only fifth-class identification experts can see it. If Xia Tian really saw that this was a fake just now, then he would have really met a master.
At this moment, Xia Tian had already broken the plate and exposed the patterns inside. Seeing this, everyone naturally knew that Xia Tian had guessed correctly again, and Xu Dechuan was completely stunned at this time.
Xia Tian stepped on the stone on the ground, and everyone naturally understood what he meant. This was also a fake. Seeing Xia Tian pick up the last item, that is, the bracelet.
"Wait, young man, you won, just say whatever you want." Xu Dechuan did not ask Xia Tian to guess the last treasure because he had decided to make friends with this kid.
If Xia Tian helps, his plan might be successful.
