"Xiaojuan, please accompany Xiaohe for a while, I'll go greet the guests."
After the exhibition started, Mr. Pan greeted Che Juan.
Che Juan nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, I understand, Teacher Pan, go ahead."
Mr. Pan then said goodbye and walked away, while He Qing and Che Juan stayed where they were.
"He Qing, I felt something was wrong when I heard what you said just now." Che Juan said in a low voice, "Wang Hai is indeed very suspicious. He has been sneaking around at the archaeological excavation site in those few days, but we were
We were all so excited that no one noticed his strange behavior, otherwise such a thing might not have happened!"
It seemed that she had no doubts about He Qing's words. If He Qing hadn't asked about Wang Hai's situation, they wouldn't have thought about it at all.
"Yes, you are negligent." He Qing nodded and said, "The matter is now at this point. We only have to find a way to recover the stolen national treasure. I believe it is still too late."
Che Juan said excitedly: "If this is really what you said, and the national treasure porcelain is still in Wang Hai's hands, and it was finally recovered, then you have made a great contribution!"
He Qing shook his head and smiled: "I don't want to make any merit, I just want to help you and Master Pan. After all, this matter is of great importance to you, and that thing cannot be lost, otherwise it will make people feel very sorry.
of!"
"You're right!" Che Juan nodded hurriedly and said, "Thanks to you this time, your eyesight is really amazing, it seems like nothing can escape your eyes! But I still can't figure it out, you
How did you find out that this matter is related to Wang Hai and his group?"
"Actually, I'm just guessing, but I have basis. Can I tell you the truth after this matter is clarified?" He Qing said seriously, "The time is not yet ripe, and there is no conclusive evidence for some things.
The evidence is hard to believe."
"Well, let's wait until everything is clear." Che Juan agreed happily. Since He Qing didn't want to tell the reason, she couldn't force it, so she had to wait.
Although He Qing has not yet provided any complete evidence, Che Juan's trust in him has not wavered at all. She seems to have determined that the blue and white plum vase from the Ming Dynasty was made by Wang Hai.
While He Qing and Che Juan were talking in low voices, many people who came to visit the exhibition came in one after another. Suddenly, He Qing's eyes lit up because he spotted several familiar figures.
, being led by Mr. Pan towards the exhibition hall.
"master--"
Seeing this, He Qing immediately strode forward to greet one of them and shouted loudly to one of them. The person he was greeting was Mr. Zheng. At this moment, Mr. Zheng was accompanied by several familiar faces such as Mr. Deng.
In fact, He Qing should have thought of it. Today, the museum will hold a grand exhibition, and Mr. Pan is one of the hosts. As old friends, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng will of course come to support them. But everything changed midway.
The "treasure of the town" that had been prepared for a long time was temporarily removed. It greatly ruined the scenery.
"Xiao He, you came quite early." Mr. Zheng nodded to He Qing with a smile.
He Qing smiled and said: "Well, I came very early. Mr. Deng——"
As he spoke, he nodded and said hello to Mr. Deng, who was standing next to Mr. Zheng, and said, "Didn't Haitao and Uncle Long come to play?"
"They can't come." Mr. Deng said with a smile, "They have to stay and take care of Jianbaozhai."
"Well, that's right." He Qing nodded quickly. He felt a little embarrassed when he heard what Mr. Deng said, because after all, he was also an employee of "Jianbaozhai", but now he is basically outside.
He rarely takes care of the store. If it were another boss, he would have been fired long ago.
However, Mr. Deng understands his situation very well, and also knows that the reason why he is still working in "Jianbaozhai" is to give himself face. For a young man with such good eyesight, he will be more honored if he stays in his antique shop for one more day.
, what else can he ask for?
After everyone met and exchanged greetings for a while, He Qing and Mr. Pan took Mr. Zheng and the others to look at the various porcelains in the exhibition hall. The display case where the blue and white plum vase from the Ming Dynasty was previously placed was replaced with another one.
The porcelain is also a large blue and white vase, but the shape and color look obviously inferior.
"Oh, by the way," after looking around, Mr. Zheng suddenly looked at Mr. Pan in surprise and said, "Old Pan, didn't you say that you unearthed a fine blue and white plum vase from an imperial tomb in the Ming Dynasty?
? Why didn’t you see it on display?”
Mr. Zheng and the others finally noticed this situation, and He Qing had already expected that they would ask this question. Since this matter has come up, it must be resolved. This is a very important matter, even related to the
The reputation of the city museum lives and dies.
When Mr. Zheng asked about the whereabouts of Mei Ping, Mr. Pan's face turned red and he looked very embarrassed. He looked at He Qing and said: "Old Zheng, Old Deng, to tell you the truth, there is something wrong with that piece of porcelain."
question."
His voice was so low that no one around him could hear what he was saying except for a few people around him.
"Is there something wrong?" As soon as these words came out, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng couldn't help but look at each other. They were mainly here for the large bottle that was a national treasure. Now they heard Mr. Pan say that there was something wrong with the thing. How could this happen?
Don't be surprised.
"Yes!" Mr. Pan nodded solemnly, "There is a big problem! Mr. Zheng, since I have invited you two here, I still count on your help to clarify this matter."
"What happened?" Mr. Zheng became more and more frightened as he listened, and said, "Is it that serious? Could it be that something went wrong accidentally when moving things? A blue and white plum vase of such a large size is extremely valuable.
I estimate that if you send it to an auction company, it will fetch at least hundreds of millions!"
"We all know this!" Mr. Pan frowned and said, "It's not that the things are damaged, but..."
At this point, he paused and hesitated to speak. It took him a long time to calm down his panic and explain the matter clearly. He only said: "... Xiao He saw this matter, and now Old Chen sent people
We went to find Wang Hai, and we have put that piece of porcelain away and must not display it again!"
Hearing him talk about the condition of the blue and white plum vase, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng could hardly believe their ears. He Qing could tell at a glance that the item was not genuine, and he pointed out the whereabouts of the genuine item that had been swapped.
"Stealing a national treasure is so audacious!" After hearing this, Mr. Deng said angrily.
At this moment, they were all very excited. Mr. Zheng turned to look at He Qing. He Qing could understand his eyes and nodded knowingly.
Since this matter was pointed out by He Qing, Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng naturally took it seriously. They understood He Qing better than anyone else. If they were not completely sure, He Qing would not have said that.
"Master Zheng, Master Deng, are you all here?! Welcome to come and give us guidance!"
At this moment, a person hurriedly walked over, and it was the director of the museum, Director Lu, who greeted Mr. Zheng and the others warmly.
"Xiao He, right?" After shaking hands with Mr. Zheng and the others one by one, Director Lu looked at He Qing and said solemnly, "I need your help to explain this matter. Is it convenient for you now?"
He Qing nodded without hesitation and said, "Convenient."
"Then let's go in and talk." Director Lu said politely. After speaking, he invited He Qing, Mr. Zheng and others into an inner room next to the exhibition hall.
"Old Zheng, look, that piece of porcelain is the blue and white plum vase that was just unearthed. What do you think?"
After walking in, Mr. Pan directly pointed to a piece of blue and white porcelain placed on the table and introduced it. The other people were all trustworthy acquaintances, so they didn't have to be taboo about anything.
Mr. Zheng and Mr. Deng's eyes quickly covered the magnificently colored porcelain, and some of them couldn't help but let out a sound of surprise.
"This piece of porcelain is very beautiful!" A man who followed Mr. Zheng and others in to watch praised it. "The shape of the porcelain is correct, the color is full, and the decoration is exquisite. It doesn't look like there is anything wrong with it."
"This is just a superficial phenomenon." Mr. Zheng said disapprovingly, "A high imitation can also do this, such as 'Zhu Imitation', which is perfectly made without any defects. It cannot be made with the original characteristics of porcelain.
standards for judgment, but should start from other aspects.”
After that, he and Mr. Deng and others came closer to take a closer look. They all took out high-power magnifying glasses and turned them around to identify them carefully.
"Masters, how are the things?" Director Lu asked anxiously.
Mr. Zheng turned around and said, "It's hard to say."
He suddenly walked up to He Qing, took him aside and whispered: "Xiao He, you said that piece of porcelain is a fake? Is it another 'imitation'?! But where is the 'leak' in it?"
We looked at it for a long time, and there seemed to be no problem. The shape of the vessel, the glaze color, and even the decoration were all in line with the characteristics of Ming Dynasty blue and white, and there were no flaws at all!"
"It's not a 'Zhu imitation'." He Qing shook his head and said, "But it's also a high imitation, probably made in the late Qing Dynasty."
Mr. Zheng and the others could not see the problem with the piece of porcelain. He Qing was a little surprised. He had thought that Mr. Zheng and the others would not be able to make mistakes with their eyes. Who knew that they would not be able to tell. From this, it can be seen that the piece of porcelain
The maker of the porcelain is as good as the "Zhu imitation" group, and the porcelain's distressing technology is almost the same. No wonder the appraisal experts in the entire museum are collectively impressed.
"I believe in your eyesight." Mr. Zheng said solemnly, "But we have to provide evidence, otherwise we will not be able to give an explanation to Director Lu and the others, and it will be difficult to recover the stolen national treasure porcelain!"
He Qing smiled faintly and said calmly: "Master, don't worry, I will find a way to point out the flaws in that piece of porcelain!"
Hearing what He Qing said, Mr. Zheng breathed a long sigh of relief. He didn't need to worry about it anymore.
At that moment, He Qing and Mr. Zheng walked back to the porcelain. Since neither Mr. Zheng nor Mr. Deng could directly point out the faults of the fake plum vase, He Qing had no choice but to do it himself!
