"Mr. Gao, you think too highly of me. I have little talent and little knowledge. I'm afraid I can't take on this task." He Qing shook his head and said, "You'd better ask an expert to take a look. There are so many masters of appraisal present, and you can just invite any master."
You can see it more accurately than I can."
Mr. Gao glanced at the experts in front of him and said with a smile: "Brother He, you are so humble! We all see your strength. Perhaps only you can get those things right."
From what he said, other experts have looked at the items in his hand, but they can't be sure, so they need someone with better eyesight to make an appraisal.
He Qing did not expect that Mr. Gao would exclude Mr. Zheng and only count on him. He was flattered by this and felt uneasy. After all, he was not overly modest, but was self-aware. For ordinary things, his appraisal level must be far higher.
Far inferior to any expert on the scene, and now he has used his power twice to see the origins of the "Relic Vase" and the fake "Jade Seal of the Nation". As a result, he only has
One chance, obviously not enough.
He didn't want to wait for the next question, which would be embarrassing, so he just listened to him solemnly say: "Mr. Gao, I'm new to this industry, I really haven't learned much, and I don't know much about many types of antiques.
Woolen cloth."
"Brother He, don't be too humble!" Mr. Gao said reluctantly, "You can even see the jade seal, what else can't you grasp?"
He Qing told the truth, but Mr. Gao interpreted it as excessive modesty. Perhaps everyone present, including Mr. Zheng and Lin Haitao and other people who were familiar with him, would not believe that he was a complete newcomer.
"Hey, brother, please do me a favor! I will definitely thank you deeply after everything is done!" Mr. Gao immediately requested sincerely.
After hearing this, He Qing secretly smiled bitterly, saying that pretending to be awesome is not an easy task. What he has learned is extremely limited, and the real materials he has learned are basically useless.
But in the face of Mr. Gao's warm invitation, He Qing was too embarrassed to refuse repeatedly, so he had to bite the bullet and said, "Okay, I'll give it a try."
At that time, he had to adapt to circumstances. If he really couldn't explain the reason at all, he would just find a way to deal with it.
"Brother He, thank you so much!" Mr. Gao said with surprise and joy. The appearance of He Qing, a genius, gave him hope.
He Qing said: "Mr. Gao, wait a moment, I will go and say hello to my friends first."
"Well, you go ahead. Anyway, you are here with me now, so there is no need to worry." Mr. Gao nodded quickly and agreed.
At that moment, He Qing turned around and walked back to Mr. Zheng and Lin Haitao. Mr. Zheng looked at him excitedly, nodding his head with admiration in his eyes.
"Brother Qing, you are so awesome!" Lin Haitao gave He Qing a thumbs up, two thumbs up in a row, and praised,
Just now He Qing made a show in public and received great praise from everyone. As a friend, he naturally felt very proud.
"Haha, no." He Qing shook his head and said with a smile.
Mr. Zheng said excitedly: "Well done, Xiao He. It turns out you know more than we thought!"
He knew very well that He Qing did not take the initiative to be in the limelight. The other party was doing it for himself and to save himself. He had no choice but to stand up and reveal the true face of the Lushan jade seal.
Therefore, in addition to feeling proud, Mr. Zheng was also vaguely moved.
He Qing said humbly: "Master, it was actually you who gave me the hint. I only noticed the hidden message on the jade seal after hearing what you said. Otherwise, I wouldn't be sure of anything."
Mr. Zheng said happily: "Ordinary people don't pay attention to it. Now that the matter of Master Gao's jade seal has been settled, our trip is worthwhile."
After the three of them chatted for a while, they suddenly heard Mr. Gao's voice behind them: "Masters, thank you for coming to help! If it's convenient for everyone, you can stay here and rest tonight. I have prepared the room. Whatever you need, please feel free to ask.
Call, just treat it as if you are at home, don't be polite! There will be a banquet tomorrow morning, everyone is welcome to be a guest, and I hope everyone will come to support me!"
Everyone responded in unison, and later Mr. Gao took everyone out of the hall. Many people said goodbye and left the villa. Some who had just arrived not long ago were not prepared and stayed in the guest rooms decorated by the Gao family to rest.
"Brother He, help me go and take a look."
After everyone dispersed, Mr. Gao said to He Qing with a smile on his face.
He Qing said: "Let's go together."
As he spoke, he pointed at Mr. Zheng and the others, and motioned to Mr. Gao to let them appraise the items together.
Mr. Gao glanced at Mr. Zheng and smiled: "Master Zheng has actually seen that thing before. He said it was difficult to determine the specific situation."
"Oh, that's it?!" He Qing suddenly understood and nodded, thinking how could he be sure about something that even Mr. Zheng couldn't identify. Unless he just dated it, the premise must be that the thing emits a red aura, and
There is only one. If it exceeds the limit, he can only identify one of them today.
"Master——" After talking to Mr. Gao, He Qing turned to look at Mr. Zheng and listened to the other party's instructions.
Mr. Zheng smiled and said: "Xiao He, go ahead. You are young and your eyes are very useful. Maybe you can recognize the quality of things."
"Well, I'll go then, you guys wait a moment." He Qing nodded in response.
But before following Mr. Gao to appraise the mysterious antiques, He Qing specifically said that he would take Lin Haitao with him. It was also Lin Haitao's first time at Mr. Gao's house, and he had not seen the Gao family's collection yet.
a few things.
When He Qing asked Mr. Gao so much, Lin Haitao couldn't help but be moved. This was undoubtedly something he was overjoyed about. Of course he also wanted to experience it and expand his horizons.
So He Qing and Lin Haitao followed Mr. Gao to a room, which was his collection room. The Gao family's collection was not very big. It was mixed with the study room, and the things inside were not neatly placed.
It seems like it's rarely taken care of.
However, the collections in the collection room are overflowing with "baoguang", indicating that they have collected many treasures.
Soon, He Qing's eyes rested on an antique, because the "treasure light" emitted from that item was the strongest, a purple-red light. Things with this level of aura often have extraordinary origins, or things.
They are highly treasured because they are not simply made and have extremely high craftsmanship.
"Brother He, that's a guqin." Seeing He Qing staring at an antique displayed on the stage, Mr. Gao standing aside casually introduced it.
"Well, not bad!" He Qing nodded slightly and said.
Mr. Gao proudly said: "I bought that Guqin from an international art auction company in Hong Kong. It is a Fuxi-style Guqin. Haha, guess how much I spent?"
He Qing shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. It's hard to tell the price of something in an auction company. It can be high or low."
"That's right." Mr. Gao agreed, "My piano cost nearly 120 million in total!"
"One hundred and twenty million?!" After hearing this number, He Qing and Lin Haitao looked at each other and were both shocked.
He Qing thought to himself: "Is the guqin so expensive? More than 100 million, which is a sky-high price!"
He had zero knowledge about guqin collection. He could not have imagined that the guqin could be so valuable. However, it was not difficult to imagine that if it were not a treasure, the qin would not have such a strong "treasure light".
Although he was extremely surprised in his heart, He Qing remained calm on the surface. After a while, he just said: "Mr. Gao, can we take a look first? You have a rich collection here, which is an eye-opener for us!"
"Hey brother, of course you can! I feel honored that you can come to my collection room to visit and give me some advice!" Mr. Gao nodded hurriedly in agreement.
So He Qing took a few steps toward the guqin and took a closer look. He saw that the whole guqin was antique and had a unique flavor.
As soon as He Qing's eyes were focused on the guqin, the red light shrouded on it gathered in front of his eyes. In the same way, he saw traces of light pouring into his eyes one after another.
Immediately, He Qing watched a brand new "movie". Through the recorded images, it was known that the piano was passed down from the Tang Dynasty and was actually a guqin used in the palace.
That qin was kept in the palace during the Tang Dynasty and was used by the imperial qin masters. Later, after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, it left the palace, but it was also transferred to a wealthy family. It was passed down from that family. In modern times, it was finally sent to the auction house.
A sky-high price.
"call--"
After reading them one by one, He Qing secretly breathed a long sigh of relief. His thoughts immediately followed the guqin through the long river of history of more than a thousand years, tracing the traces.
And when he regained consciousness, his brain suddenly buzzed, and then countless new memories poured in like a spring.
He Qing secretly took a breath. He didn't expect that he could absorb artistic inspiration from that guqin, but it was not the technology of making the guqin, but the skill of playing the guqin.
Yes, He Qing unknowingly learned the art of playing the piano, and it was a superb skill. After all, the people who used the piano were all famous violinists at the time, and most of them were female.
This is simply unbelievable, but the fact is there, it is a most wonderful feeling, as if countless luthiers with extraordinary skills have penetrated into his brain in an instant, controlling his talent in playing the piano.
"Hey, what a pity, what a pity!" He Qing suddenly sighed.
"Brother He, what's wrong?" Mr. Gao asked in surprise, "What's the pity?"
He Qing said seriously: "I'm talking about this piano. It's such a good piano, but it's a bit abandoned. Mr. Gao, can you play the piano?"
Mr. Gao quickly shook his head and replied: "I can't, but my daughter can play the guzheng. This piano is an antique. I want to keep it for fun. I have never thought about learning to play the guzheng from it."
He Qing waved his hand seriously and said: "Mr. Gao, you are wrong to think so. The greatest joy of collecting is to make the best use of everything. Your piano is not only great for viewing, but also very practical. You
If you learn how to play the piano and have such a good piano, it will be amazing!"
"Brother He, you haven't learned to play the piano, have you?" Mr. Gao asked after pondering for a moment.
He Qing smiled and said: "I can speak a little, but I don't understand it very well."
"It turns out you really know how to do it!" Mr. Gao said with surprise and joy, "Then please give it a try. To be honest, no one has tried this piano since I bought it, and I also want to hear it played.
