"Haitao, why do you want me to call you Duan Gang?" He Qing asked in surprise, "Do I need an established quota to participate in your activities?"
Lin Haitao said seriously: "Yes, that's the situation. Brother He, we are all our own people, so I won't hide it from you. The activities held here tonight are held by our internal personnel."
"Your internal staff?" He Qing asked, "Are they people who work in the 'Jianbaozhai'?"
Lin Haitao shook his head and said: "No, it's from our learning team. The appraisal knowledge we have now all comes from the same ancestor, and our ancestor is Taishan Beidou of the appraisal industry. He has five apprentices in total.
It is now divided into five branches, and my grandfather belongs to one of them. I have learned relevant knowledge from my grandfather since I was a child, so he is my master and I belong to his branch."
"Oh, that's it!" He Qing suddenly understood and nodded. He didn't expect that the appraisal industry also has sects, just like the world of martial arts, but this way it is more interesting and you can learn very professional knowledge.
"Haitao, your grandpa will also come to Jianbaozhai tonight, right?" He Qing asked casually.
Lin Haitao replied: "He is not coming because he has gone abroad for inspection and has not come back yet. Tonight's 'Treasure Appraisal Competition' is hosted by our ancestor. He wants to test our practical ability. This is what he thinks about us."
Their concern urges us to strengthen our study and exercise."
"Your Grandmaster?!" He Qing was shocked. He simply couldn't imagine that Lin Haitao's grandfather was already so old, but their Grandmaster was a higher level. He was over a hundred years old.
"Yes, our ancestor is still alive and well. He is a very kind man." Lin Haitao nodded with a smile, "Brother He, as long as you have good eyesight, he will definitely appreciate you very much."
He Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "I can't say that my eyesight is very good. But I really want to meet your ancestor. It would be an honor if I could say a word to him."
Lin Haitao said: "There are many opportunities, but the premise is that you must perform well tonight. From now on, your name is Duan Gang, and you will use this name in our circle."
"Haitao, what is the origin of the name Duan Gang?" He Qing was puzzled as to who the Duan Gang Lin Haitao was talking about was.
Just listen to Lin Haitao say in detail: "He is an apprentice in my grandfather's lineage, and he is my grandfather's disciple, but he is gone now."
"No one is alive?" He Qing said in surprise, "It can't be..."
"Oh, that's not the case." Lin Haitao smiled and said, "He just ran away from the battle. Now my uncle can't find anyone else. I heard that he went to Macau to gamble. He lost a lot of money and was too embarrassed to come back to see his parents. I
Grandpa even wanted to expel him from the school! I called my grandpa in the morning and explained your situation. Haha, I asked him to accept you as his disciple directly. He agreed, but only made one condition. He asked you
The basic level has reached the level of the fourth generation of the 'Shen Eye Sect', which is the same as the appraisal level of my uncle's apprentice. It depends on whether you can pass the test of the ancestor tonight."
"Ah?!" As soon as these words came out, He Qing was excited for a while, then excited, but he soon calmed down, because he had self-knowledge, he had only joined the antique shop for a few days, and the basic knowledge related to appraising antiques could be
It is said that he is starting from scratch, but fortunately he has a pair of magical eyes and can see the ins and outs of some antiques.
He Qing couldn't hold back his excitement when he thought that Lin Haitao's grandfather wanted to accept him as his disciple. It can be imagined that Lin Haitao's grandfather was highly respected in this industry. If he could be taught by him in the future, it would naturally be a great help.
.
"Brother He, come on." Lin Haitao smiled and patted He Qing's shoulder gently, and said in an encouraging tone, "Our 'Shenyan Sect' is very famous in the appraisal industry. Many
We have people in major museums, including the Forbidden City. If one day you are recognized by everyone, your future will be limitless. Then people from all over the world will beg you to help identify things. My grandfather would do it every day when he was at home.
There is an endless stream of visitors.”
"Well, I'll do my best!" He Qing nodded heavily and agreed.
Although his decision seemed a bit tough, he was still somewhat sure of it. After all, he had a unique vision and a unique ability to identify treasures.
"But is it possible for me to pretend to be Duan Gang?" He Qingfu asked again doubtfully, "Your ancestors should know Duan Gang, right? He has never come to the event before?"
Lin Haitao said: "It should be fine. Duan Gang has been here several times, but all failed. Who would have a deep impression on him? Let alone our ancestor. Brother He, to tell you the truth,
I feel so confident that you and Duan Gang are similar. You are both young and about the same size. Duan Gang doesn't like to talk, and there is nothing special about him. Others don't notice him at all. Now he
It's been a long time since I've been here, and the little impression I have of him has been completely wiped out. So, Brother He, just follow me later, don't talk nonsense, and follow the rules."
"What are the rules? And how do you identify the treasures in the 'Treasure Appraisal Competition'?" He Qing asked one by one.
Lin Haitao answered tirelessly: "There are no very strict rules. As for the content of the 'Treasure Appraisal Competition', it is also very simple. Generally, two identical things are taken out, such as two large blue and white porcelain jars. One is authentic and the other is genuine."
If the item is a fake, your task is to make an accurate judgment within the specified time and give a reasonable explanation."
Hearing this, He Qing couldn't help but secretly take a breath. It should be no problem for him to make an accurate judgment, but he lacks basic knowledge of identification. He is afraid that he will not be able to tell a reason when he judges whether it is true or false.
, but the matter has come to this, he can only face the difficulties. What is before him at this moment is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he loses it, he may regret it for the rest of his life.
"Okay, Brother He, let's go in." Lin Haitao greeted after the two of them talked for a long time by the door of "Jianbaozhai".
So under Lin Haitao's enthusiastic guidance, He Qing walked in. At this time, there were several strangers in the store, including old people and young people. He Qing estimated that those people were all the "gods" where Lin Haitao was.
The disciples and grandsons of "Eye Gate".
When He Qing and Lin Haitao walked in, several people looked at He Qing with strange eyes.
"Hey, Haitao, who is this friend?"
At this moment, a man walked up to me with a smile.
It was a young man of similar age to them. He was tall, but his appearance was not flattering. He had a standard spoon face covered with acne, and his expression was somewhat vulgar.
"Senior brother, this is Duan Gang! Don't you recognize me?" Lin Haitao introduced seriously, "Duan Gang, this is Guo Chengming, my uncle's disciple, do you remember?"
"Oh, of course I remember." He Qing nodded seriously, then nodded to Guo Chengming and said, "Senior brother, long time no see."
"It turns out it's you, kid. I haven't seen you for a long time. You've changed your hairstyle!" Guo Chengming said with a double entendre, "I thought you wouldn't come to study. You kid is like a dragon."
Ah, last time the Patriarch called your name, he seemed a little angry because you weren't there, so you have to be careful later."
"How could you not come?" He Qing said quickly, "I didn't come because I had something to do. Senior brother, thank you for reminding me. I will not let Master Grandmaster down again."
"Haha, I hope so." Guo Chengming said goodbye and walked away. When he returned to his original position, he was whispering with others. They pointed at He Qing, obviously laughing at him behind his back.
Lin Haitao seemed to have realized it, and whispered in He Qing's ear: "Guo Chengming works in an auction house. His master, like my uncle, works in the Palace Museum. Neither of them can make it tonight. Brother He
, if someone says something about you, don't worry about it, because Duan Gang's reputation in the 'Shenyanmen' is not good, he didn't judge anything correctly in the previous few times he was asked to appraise, and he became everyone's laughing stock!"
He Qing said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I can understand."
He felt that he had entered a school where there was intrigue among the students.
But think about it, it is inevitable for teachers to be jealous of each other. After all, they are peers. Since they are doing the same job, it is normal for them to have competition.
At present, He Qing and Lin Haitao were patiently waiting for the start of the "Treasure Appraisal Competition". During this period, many people came one after another, most of them were middle-aged men, and among them was a young woman. Her feminine temperament seemed to be
It's very unique, so it's more eye-catching.
At about half past seven, a gray-haired old man walked in carrying a big box.
As soon as the man stepped into the "Bao Appraisal Room", He Qing cheered up. However, what caught He Qing's attention was not the old man himself, but the antique iron box.
It is clearly visible that the box is emitting a strong red light...
