Mr. Liu nodded. His first impression of Li Yang was very good, but he was a little doubtful about Li Yang's abilities. It was because Li Yang was too young that people had to doubt him.
Li Yang smiled bitterly. He was already twenty-five years old, but he was called a little guy, but in Mr. Liu's eyes, he was indeed just a little guy.
"Hello, Mr. Liu, it's a great honor to meet you. This is an ancient sword I just bought, but now Brother Li and Expert Hou seem to be having a bit of a dispute. Could you please help me take a look at it?"
Zheng Kaida on the side suddenly bowed to Mr. Liu and said very respectfully. Mr. Hou's face turned pale again. Li Yang was really an expert on ancient jade from the Palace Museum. He no longer had such absolute confidence in his own inference.
.
"What's going on?"
Mr. Liu glanced at Su Zhan beside him in confusion. Su Zhan gave a wry smile and stepped forward to slowly tell what happened just now. What Su Zhan said was all true. He would not dare to lie in front of Mr. Liu and offend Mr. Hou.
Life is just not easy for him. If he offends Mr. Liu, just one word can make him pack up and leave immediately.
"I see, let me take a look first!"
After listening to Su Zhan's narration, Mr. Liu glanced at Mr. Hou lightly. In fact, Mr. Liu only had a general impression of the experts on the second floor. Although Li Yang was young, he was an expert in the Palace Museum like him. From an emotional point of view,
Said he was more inclined to Li Yang.
Zheng Kaida hurriedly stepped forward and handed over the ancient sword, but the sword was already sheathed. The ancient sword was a sword after all, and he could not bear the responsibility if he hurt Mr. Liu.
Anyway, the focus now is on the chilong sapphire at the head of the sword. The body of the sword is secondary. It doesn't matter whether you look at it or not.
Mr. Liu looked at the sword head carefully, then shook his head slightly, and nodded again. The eyes of Su Zhan and others were focused on Mr. Liu, wanting to know how Mr. Liu would evaluate it, and who Li Yang said it.
Yes, they are right in their own eyes.
"Xiao Su, this sword is indeed an ancient sword from the Northern Song Dynasty, but it would be wrong to conclude that it is Fang La's sword just based on the word Shenggong on the chilong sapphire!"
Mr. Liu said slowly, and everyone's hearts were lifted. However, Mr. Liu's words obviously did not satisfy them. What they were most concerned about now was whether the sapphire and the ancient sword were the original pair. Fang La's problem was already secondary.
Well, I still don’t know the answer to the question I’m most concerned about.
Among them, Mr. Hou stretched his neck the straightest. If what he said was right, the argument between him and Li Yang would be nothing. But if he lost and what he said was wrong, he would be completely humiliated, and he would lose face.
Not only his face, but also the reputation he had accumulated over the past few decades was lost.
"You are right, but do you think this jade was with Gu Jian from the beginning?" Su Zhan nodded hurriedly and looked at Mr. Liu carefully.
"Definitely not. This Chilong Sapphire is also a product of the Song Dynasty, but it was made in the Southern Song Dynasty. There is only a few decades difference in the middle, but it was definitely not made at the same time!"
Mr. Liu shook his head, everyone looked at Li Yang in surprise, Mr. Hou's face turned even grayer.
Li Yang looked at Mr. Liu with admiration. He knew that the sapphire and the ancient sword were not one and the same because the aperture of the sapphire was one less than that of the ancient sword. But Mr. Liu could really see this difference with his eyes. Eight or nine hundred years ago
A few decades difference between things is nothing at all, which is one of the reasons why Mr. Hou and Su Zhan didn't realize it.
"Why? Why do you say this sapphire is from the Southern Song Dynasty?"
Mr. Hou couldn't help but ask. What Mr. Liu said was equivalent to judging that he had lost to Li Yang in the argument just now. The loss was still a trivial matter, and his reputation would be lost.
"Are you saying that deliberately because you suspect that I helped him?" Mr. Liu's face suddenly darkened.
"No, you are highly respected. How could we have such doubts? I just want to learn more from you!"
Mr. Hou immediately shook his head. He really had such suspicion in his heart, but he must not admit this suspicion. After admitting it, he would never want to hang out in Rongbaozhai.
"Actually, it's very simple. The shape of this chilong is wrong. Chilong is a dragon without horns. Have you noticed that there are two more points on the sapphire head of this chilong. Although they are not dragon horns, they are very...
picture!"
When Mr. Liu said this, several people hurriedly looked at the dragon's head. Even Li Yang couldn't help but take a look. Sure enough, there were two small dots on the head. If it could be longer, it might really be used as dragon horns.
"This is because the Southern Song Dynasty was driven south by the Mongols, so many people wanted to regroup and restore the glory of the Han Dynasty, and made some changes in some totems or mascots used. Chilong is one of them, plus
The meaning of the upper corner is the hope that Chilong can transform into a real dragon so that they can defeat Yuanmeng and recover their lost territory, but Chilong during the Northern Song Dynasty definitely did not have such a change!"
After Mr. Liu finished speaking, everyone looked astonished. This explanation made it much simpler. Many antiques have their own characteristics. As long as you know these characteristics, it is much easier to distinguish them. Several people thought that they learned a lot today.
Lesson, at least they know that not everything in the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty is the same.
"Mr. Liu, do you think it's possible that Fang La also wanted to become a real dragon, so he added these two horns?" Mr. Hou didn't give up and asked again.
"Fang La proclaimed himself emperor directly after the uprising. Is it necessary for him?"
Mr. Liu glared at Mr. Hou rudely. Mr. Hou's question was purely sophistry. Mr. Liu's impression of him was getting worse and worse.
After Mr. Liu explained, everyone believed Mr. Liu's words. The two customers looked at Li Yang in surprise. They really didn't expect that Li Yang was so young and his level was so high.
But I feel relieved when I think that Li Yang is an expert from the Palace Museum. They are all experts. How can we do it without some water?
"Xiao Li, you are very good. You are indeed Mr. He's apprentice. If you hadn't brought it up, I might have ignored it!"
Mr. Liu glanced at Li Yang with admiration. A small difference in the graphics would not attract special attention. He thought that Li Yang could tell from this difference that this piece of sapphire was not the same as the ancient sword.
Integrated.
"You are honored, I was lucky enough to see it!"
Li Yang shook his head hurriedly, stepped forward and said respectfully, Mr. Liu is the most admirable person. If he didn't have special abilities, he wouldn't be able to see this at all.
"It's rare to be neither arrogant nor impetuous. You guys should be busy first. Come and sit down with me later when you have time!"
Mr. Liu nodded with satisfaction. He ran down to see Li Yang because he wanted to test Li Yang. From now on, it seems that he does not need to be tested. Li Yang's performance is very good. Judging from today's performance alone,
Worthy of that title of expert.
Mr. Liu left, and Su Zhan hurriedly went to see him off. Mr. Hou's face turned green and white, and suddenly he walked away without saying a word. Li Yang couldn't help but shook his head. This Mr. Hou was not only very narrow-minded, but also very narrow-minded.
No energy.
Zheng Kaida looked at Li Yang in surprise, shaking his head constantly, still sighing in his heart that Li Yang was really a monster.
When it comes to antiques and stone gambling, Zheng Kaida has never seen anyone more talented than Li Yang. Even if ordinary people learn the knowledge of antique stone gambling from a young age, they will not be able to reach Li Yang's current level, not to mention that Li Yang is still a
An antique lover who became a monk on the way.
After a while, Su Zhan ran back, respectfully stepped forward and returned the ID book to Li Yang.
"It's a pity. I wanted to make some profit, but after this incident happened today, I'm afraid I will lose some more!"
Zheng Kaida shrugged his shoulders. He was talking about this ancient sword. The chilong sapphire on the sword's head was not one with the ancient sword. The value of the ancient sword would definitely be affected. Although he said that, he didn't really care about it.
point loss.
"Not necessarily. This ancient sword is very well preserved. Even if the sapphire was added later, it is still from the Southern Song Dynasty. Even if the entire ancient sword is regarded as being from the Southern Song Dynasty, it will still have this value!"
Li Yang shook his head slightly, Zheng Kaida was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "That's right, even an ancient sword from the Southern Song Dynasty costs 500,000 yuan. I'm crazy!"
Su Zhan and the others all looked at Li Yang with admiration. Li Yang was right. Even if this ancient sword was made in the Southern Song Dynasty, it would still be worth half a million yuan. The Southern and Northern Song Dynasties were both Song dynasties. This ancient sword only cost
It’s beautiful and the price will definitely not be low.
"Manager Su, let's go get the other two pieces!"
After Li Yang said this, Zheng Kaida didn't care anymore. He ordered three items from Rongbaozhai, this one was worth 500,000 yuan, and there were two pieces of porcelain. Those two pieces of porcelain added up to one million.
"Yes, Boss Zheng, Mr. Li, please come with me!"
Su Zhan nodded immediately, but when he replied, he looked at Li Yang first. Li Yang's performance just now had impressed all of them.
The two other pieces of porcelain are also on the second floor, but they are in another compartment. The decoration of that compartment is similar to the one just now, but it is all porcelain, and all of it is Ming and Qing porcelain, nothing else.
It seems that the things on the second floor are arranged according to different categories. It is indeed a time-honored store with a history of hundreds of years and the largest antique store in the country. Its scale alone is unimaginable by others.
After Li Yang and the others changed compartments, the two customers who were in the miscellaneous section just now also came over. They wanted to get acquainted with Li Yang, but they didn't know what reason to use, so they could only follow him first.
.
There are also three staff members in this cubicle. When Su Zhan and others came in, they bowed to welcome him. The service attitude was quite good.
"Boss Zheng, everything you want is here, please take a look first to see if it's right!"
Su Zhan took out a celestial sphere vase and a blue and white bowl from the counter. The blue and white bowl was from the official kiln of Qianlong and was very exquisitely made. The celestial sphere vase was a Kangxi sky blue glaze vase. Although it was a folk kiln, it was also a rare masterpiece among folk kilns.
As soon as the two items were put out, Zheng Kaida's eyes immediately straightened, and Li Yang also nodded secretly. These two items are very eye-catching, especially the blue and white bowl, which represents an era of exquisite products.
Similarly, the value of this blue and white bowl is not low. It is the most expensive of the three items, at a total of 700,000 yuan. The sky blue glazed celestial sphere bottle is only 300,000 yuan. Although it is much larger than the blue and white bowl, it is not worth as much.
