After getting the big can from Mr. Xiao, He Qing and Lin Haitao took a taxi and rushed to the hotel as soon as possible.
On the way, He Qing suddenly received a call from Cai Weilan.
"Mr. He, where are you now? Are you okay?" Cai Weilan asked with concern on the phone.
He Qing replied: "I'm on my way back to the hotel now. Miss Cai, you don't have to worry, it's okay. I have dismissed Mr. Xiao. He will never come to your newspaper to make trouble in the future, let alone come to me."
.”
"Oh, really?" Hearing what He Qing said, Cai Weilan was naturally surprised and happy, and said quickly, "That's good. I was worried that something would happen to you, but in this case, I'm relieved."
He Qing said: "Well, it was fine in the first place. Haha, you are just worrying too much."
Cai Weilan smiled and said: "I understand. Mr. He, I will come back to you when I have time. You helped me such a big favor today, and I have to thank you."
He Qing said: "You are too polite, it's just a small matter, don't take it to heart."
After the two chatted casually on the phone for a while, He Qing said goodbye and hung up the phone. Later, the taxi they took drove to the big hotel where they were staying.
"Brother Qing, look!" But before the car stopped, Lin Haitao's exclamation was heard in his ears.
"What's wrong?" He Qing asked in surprise, and then he looked in the direction pointed by Lin Haitao. He saw a lot of people gathered at the door, and there seemed to be security guards maintaining order.
"What's going on? What happened?" He Qing thought to himself.
Lin Haitao whispered: "Brother Qing, I'm afraid those people are here to find you. Today, Miss Cai and their newspaper office have sent out the newspaper about you, plus the event you held at 'Rongbaozhai' yesterday
Appraisal meeting, now you have really become famous in the capital, and more and more people will come here to ask you to appraise antiques!"
"It should be." Hearing this, He Qing couldn't help but take a breath and said in a deep voice, "Then let's not go back to the guest room for the time being."
"Then what should we do now? Where should we go?" Lin Haitao asked.
He Qing replied: "Where else can we go? We can only find another hotel. We will come back to pick up our things in the evening."
"Yes, yes." Lin Haitao nodded and agreed without hesitation.
So He Qing asked the master to turn around and drive to another big hotel. Fortunately, there were many hotels in Beijing, so it didn't matter if he stayed in another hotel.
He Qing didn't want to be disturbed now, he needed some peace and quiet. After all, he was holding a "peerless porcelain" in his hand, and uncovering the huge mystery behind it was the top priority.
After arriving at the new hotel and checking in, He Qing first made a call to Mr. Zheng. At this time, Mr. Zheng was working outside. He Qing told Mr. Zheng that he and Lin Haitao had temporarily changed hotels and asked him to come to the new hotel directly if he had anything to do.
them.
"Brother Qing, you haven't told me yet why you had to buy this piece of porcelain from the guy named Xiao."
After An Xin moved in, Lin Haitao couldn't help but say. He had never figured this out. It would be fine if he only spent a little money, but now this Bolingdi blue and white porcelain He Qing cost a full million.
Although one million is nothing to him, just a drop in the bucket. But to ordinary people, it is an astronomical figure. One million can buy a very good piece of ancient porcelain, so why only exchange it for an ordinary piece of porcelain?
, especially if it is used to buy a piece of fake porcelain, it is even more unworthy.
"Because it's worth the money, to be precise, it's worth the money!" He Qing said with a smile, "Haitao, do you think I'm stupid enough to use money to please a villain like Mr. Xiao? I don't have any business with him.
That set! I am interested in this piece of porcelain, not for other things. This blue and white porcelain is really good, it is definitely a great treasure!"
He was smiling happily and proudly.
"Really?!" Seeing him looking so confident, Lin Haitao also laughed. He had no reason not to believe what the other party said, because he knew very well that He Qing had extraordinary eyesight, and the things he was optimistic about were definitely not ordinary.
The thing must be some kind of treasure. Maybe he picked up another big thing, but he just hasn't noticed the extraordinary thing about it yet.
"Brother Qing, what do you mean, this piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain is genuine Bolingdi porcelain? Are the rumors about Bolingdi true?" Lin Haitao then asked.
He Qing shook his head vigorously and smiled meaningfully: "No. Although I am not sure that all Bolingdi are fakes, I have never seen the real thing."
"Then...then what's different about this piece of porcelain?" Lin Haitao said in bewilderment, "Look at the bottom, it clearly bears the Bolingdi mark! This is obviously a Bolingdi.
No. 1 porcelain, but you said you have never seen the real one, so what on earth is going on?!"
The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He didn't know what medicine was sold in He Qing's gourd and why it was so mysterious.
He Qing said: "Haitao, haven't you ever thought that this large blue and white vase with the picture of 'Zhaojun leaving the fortress' is the real Yuan blue and white?!"
"But it's a Bolingdi model? Don't you still admit the authenticity of this kind of porcelain?" Lin Haitao asked rhetorically.
He Qing shook his head and said: "That's not what I meant. I mean, have you ever thought that this big jar has the same existence as the Guiguzi Descending Mountain Picture Jar? They are both fine porcelain from the official kilns of the Yuan Dynasty!"
"Official kiln porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty?! No way?!" Lin Haitao shook his head in disbelief, "How is that possible?! The blue and white official kiln porcelain of the Yuan Dynasty is another large jar that is so completely preserved.
It is said that it is a private collection, but there are few authentic pieces in official museums. I remember that there is a porcelain similar to this one in the Capital Museum. The surface pattern is also painted with the picture of "Zhaojun leaving the fortress", but that porcelain was unanimously recognized as a fake by experts. It is said that
Most of the authentic pieces of the "Eight Large Jars of the Yuan Dynasty" are distributed in foreign collections or private hands. There is no one in the Palace Museum. If the one you received from Mr. Xiao is authentic, it is one of the eight large blue and white jars of the Yuan Dynasty.
The can of "Zhaojun is out of plug", but how is this possible? The authentic piece is obviously in an art collection in Tokyo, Japan, how could it have ended up in the hands of Mr. Xiao?! Could it be that the Japanese piece is a fake, and you took it
Is this the real thing?"
He Qing smiled nonchalantly and said: "I have never seen the Japanese one, but the one I just got is indeed authentic. I am basically sure of this. Of course, I still need to find the master to make the final confirmation. Maybe
The Zhaojun Chusei Tu jar is not an isolated one, and it is not surprising that a pair exists."
Lin Haitao said: "Even if that is possible, how can we explain the Bolingdi model? The Bolingdi was dug out from the cellar. Even if there was such a thing in the Yuan Dynasty, it would only be a private kiln, not an official kiln.
There is a big difference, and the collection value is naturally not at the same level. Of course, no matter what, Yuan blue and white are rare. If they are done well, whether it is an official kiln or a private kiln, they are very valuable!"
He Qing said calmly: "This is easy to explain. Haitao, go and get me a basin of water."
"What are you doing to fetch water?" Lin Haitao asked in confusion.
Although he was confused, he still went to the bathroom and fetched a full basin of water.
At this time, He Qing was also ready. He took out the paint stripper he bought at a roadside shop just before entering the hotel.
Lin Haitao had been very curious before, but when he saw the other party taking out the paint remover, he knew that he had bought that thing in preparation for the mysterious aura of porcelain in front of him.
"Brother Qing, what are you using paint stripper for? This piece of porcelain is very clean. Doesn't it need to be cleaned of oil stains or something?" Lin Haitao asked.
He Qing said: "You will know later."
As he spoke, he carefully wiped the bottom of the turned-up porcelain with a damp cloth soaked in water. The area he wiped was exactly where the Bollinger stamp was printed.
Seeing this, Lin Haitao's eyes widened, and there was doubt on his face. How could he know what He Qing was doing, as if he wanted to erase the Bolingdi reminder card.
After wiping carefully for a while, he poured paint stripper on the wet cloth, and then wiped it off again, also wiping the parts with the Bollinger logo.
I don't know why, but as he wiped it, that place seemed to react in some way.
"Haitao, did you see it? There are signs of falling off." After working for a while, He Qing turned around and said with a smile.
"What?" At that moment, Lin Haitao didn't react, but he soon saw it, and surprisingly he saw a green substance left on the rag, which was similar to the bit of blue and white on Bolingdi.
He Qing said solemnly: "It's just a little lacquer mark on it, which means it's not old, it's new. The counterfeiters did it deliberately to create an illusion that it looks like real Bolingdi porcelain. But this is not
The important thing, the key point here, is the slightly convex Bollingdi brand. You also know that this kind of paint remover is relatively acidic and can easily corrode some liquids. This is the case with some adhesives. Well, this
The sign is moving!"
"Ah?! Really?!" Seeing this, Lin Haitao's eyes widened suddenly, becoming more and more surprised.
Just as He Qing said, the Bolingdi Remember small plate really moved, as if it was not integrated with the whole piece of porcelain, but glued to it.
He Qing continued to wipe, and after a while, the small plate had completely fallen off from it, and the part was intact, indicating that the appearance of the entire porcelain was not affected after removing the small plate, and the things were still intact.
.
At that moment, Lin Haitao was shocked. He finally understood what was going on. It turned out that someone had tampered with this Yuan blue and white porcelain and installed a Bolingdi three-dimensional symbol on it. In fact, the entire porcelain
It has nothing to do with that thing.
This means that the porcelain that He Qing received from Mr. Xiao is not the Bolingdi porcelain, but has another origin.
In this way, it is much more likely that he is an authentic Yuan blue and white official kiln!
