"Looking for me?" Gao Bin subconsciously touched his pocket. He suddenly wanted to smoke.
But I only have my keys and wallet in my pocket, and no cigarette to smoke.
"Let's go in and talk?" Huang Yanyan took the lead and walked into Shangpin Pavilion.
After opening the door and entering the store, Gao Bin turned on the light and let Huang Yanyan sit wherever he wanted, while he poured two glasses of water, one for each person.
"Tell me, why are you looking for me?"
"I hope you can join the investigation of the Buddha's head case."
"You hope?"
Gao Bin didn't know whether this was her own intention, or whether it represented the Huang family or someone else's intention.
"Yes, I hope I can only represent myself."
"Why? To be honest, so far, I haven't figured out my connection with this matter."
Huang Yanyan smiled. She was beautiful, with both an intellectual side and a playful and smart side.
"Actually, you have nothing to do with this matter. I strongly requested that you be included. After investigation by Bureau Luo and others, they discovered that you have abilities in archeology and are related to Wishes. You might be able to help, so I agreed.
fulfilled my request."
Gao Bin was stunned:
"You? Why? Don't tell me that you fell in love with me after we met twice."
"Bah, a dog can't spit out ivory." Huang Yanyan rolled her eyes at him. God knows how charming this look was, and Gao Bin was even greedy.
"I just like your knowledge base in the field of antiques, and I think you are not a simple person, so I mentioned it casually, don't think too much about it."
Following Huang Yanyan's explanation, Gao Bin roughly understood that his position was just a bonus, the icing on the cake.
"I know, I will refuse."
"Reject? Why?" Huang Yanyan didn't understand. In her opinion, this was a good thing, so why should she refuse?
"No reason, I just don't want to take risks. Every one of those people I saw yesterday, including you, is not a good person!"
"Who do you think is not a good person?" Huang Yanyan said, "Who are these people?"
"Hey, don't think I'm scolding you. In fact, you rashly dragged me into such a dangerous thing without my consent. Is it fair to me?"
Huang Yanyan thought about it and realized that Gao Bin's words were not unreasonable, so she solemnly said:
"This is my fault, and I apologize to you, but I hope you will seriously consider participating in the investigation of the Buddha Head case."
Gao Bin nodded:
"I know."
After sending Huang Yanyan away, Gao Bin took out a pack of cigarettes from under the counter, took out one and lit it.
He is thinking about something. He must participate in the Buddha's Head case, otherwise the world will be in vain. But in what capacity and role should he participate, this is a question.
He already knows the answer, and he can even point out who Lao Chaofeng is now, but is this useful?
First of all, he had no evidence and no one believed him.
Secondly, it doesn't seem to be of any benefit to him. He is a person who never gets up early if there is no profit. There is no need to do anything without profit.
So he had to start from scratch with Xuanyuan, pretending not to know anything, and only providing some convenience when needed.
As for the ultimate goal, if he is recognized by Bureau Luo, his future in the antique world will be limitless. When the time comes, he will be an official visiting professor, and he may even be able to attract female students.
Thinking of this, he chuckled. Under the dim light, he looked like the villain in the movie, full of calculations from head to toe.
No, no, we still have to establish an image of a righteous, patriotic and good young man, close~~~
...
The next morning, Gao Bin and Xu Yuan were dragged to the lake by Fang Zhen. Luo Ju was fishing leisurely and had half a day of leisure.
"Luo Ju." The two greeted.
"Come on, sit down and get a pole if you want to fish."
Gao Bin wasn't interested, Xu Yuan wasn't that interested, and neither of them moved.
Time was tight yesterday, there were many people, and some words were unclear.
No, I called them here again today, hoping to have a heart-to-heart talk with them.
Luo Ju told them about the importance of handing over the Buddha's head, but Xu Yuan always believed that he did not have the ability and firmly refused Luo Ju.
Gao Bin remained silent, neither agreeing nor rejecting.
Director Luo took out an anonymous letter, which mentioned that the Buddha head returned by Xiao Benzi this time was fake, and if the letter said that the Buddha head that Grandpa made a wish to Xiao Benzi was originally a fake.
If this is true, then Xu Yicheng can easily reverse the case, but this is inconsistent with Xu Yicheng's lack of resistance after being arrested.
Luo Ju analyzed that there are two possibilities here. The first is that the Buddha head is real, and the second is that there is an unknown secret hidden behind it.
Director Luo then told Xu Yuan that his father's death was also related to the investigation of the Buddha's head case.
Ke Xuyuan raised his butt and said:
"No matter what this matter has to do with my father and grandfather, I don't want to care about it, and I'm too lazy to care about it, so I'm sorry, Luo Bureau, but you can just treat me like a fart."
Luo Ju had a good temper, he smiled wryly and waved his hand to let them go first.
But Gao Bin didn't move. He told Xu Yuan:
"Wait for me in the car and I'll talk to Director Luo about something."
"Okay." He didn't know why he made the wish, but he didn't feel entangled. His mind was filled with thoughts about Buddha's surrender and his father and grandfather.
He seems to be unconcerned on the surface, but in his heart he is in a state of turmoil. No one will be happy if something like this happens.
"Xiao Gao, what can you tell me?" Luo Ju looked at him with a smile.
"Huang Yanyan told me last night that it was her personal request to involve me in this matter. Is it true?" Gao Bin asked.
"Of course it's true. She said she discovered a genius who might be helpful to this case."
"Genius? Haha." Gao Bin didn't believe it at all.
"What's wrong?" Luo Ju didn't know why he was laughing.
"Nothing, what do you think? This case is so important, why did you bring me, an outsider, into it?"
Luo Ju hesitated again and again, but finally told the truth:
"Have you never doubted your father's death?"
"Huh?" Gao Bin frowned deeply, he really hadn't thought about this.
"His death was not an accident!" Luo Ju sighed.
Gao Bin felt a huge pain in his heart, he knew that Huang Yanyan was deceiving him.
Of course, it is true that she recommended herself, but it must not be because she is a genius.
We only met twice, how could you be a genius?
"You mean, my father's death is related to the death of Xu Yuan's father?"
"I don't know, but according to our analysis, Xu Wishan's father must have asked your father some things before he died, and your father died suddenly while investigating some things."
Gao Bin's heart lifted:
"Do you suspect that his death was not an accident, but was caused by man? Who was so cruel that he buried a whole car of people with him?"
"I don't know, kid, you need to investigate this yourself."
"Okay." Gao Bin was helpless.
"Sorry, your father is also a well-known expert in the antique industry. I heard from Yanyan that you are indeed unique in appraising treasures."
"It's okay." Gao Bin said perfunctorily.
"Do you know Sudinglu?"
Gao Bin hesitated for a moment, then nodded:
"I know, it's a treasure book passed down from the Xu family."
"Yes, it contains various legendary treasure appraisal methods."
Gao Bin suddenly thought about it and looked at Luo Ju suspiciously:
"You won't doubt that I learned this skill from Su Dinglu, right?"
Luo Ju seems to be smiling but not smiling:
"You are overthinking it. Go back and make a wish for me. You must keep this book well and don't let the bad guys steal it. It will be a huge loss to the Xu family and even the domestic antique industry."
When Gao Bin heard this, he immediately realized that Luo Ju was hinting that someone was going to attack "Su Ding Lu".
"I understand, thank you for reminding me."
"Any more questions?"
"It's gone temporarily."
"Haha, if you have any questions, go to Yanyan. She is very optimistic about you and will definitely help you."
After saying goodbye to Luo Ju, Gao Bin walked out alone and saw Fang Zhen in the parking lot, as well as the two men who were beaten with him last time.
"Comrade Fang."
"Mr. Gao, can you leave?"
"Okay."
"Please get in the car."
At this time, Xu Wan was sitting in the back seat, but Gao Bin sat in the passenger seat.
Fang Zhen drove the car himself. When the car entered the main road, he suddenly said:
"Mr. Gao, judging from your resume, it seems that you have not learned any martial arts or fighting skills."
Gao Bin glanced at him and said with a smile:
"What? Do you doubt the origin of my ability?"
"Can I say it?"
"Can I say no?"
"Okay."
"Then I won't tell you. If you want to know, just check it out yourself."
Gao Bin's words made people angry to death. Even Fang Zhen, who had always been indifferent to emotions and anger, was very angry. He couldn't beat him, and he was no match for his talk.
Xu wishing and laughing behind him, he was so happy to see the dead man's face shrinking with shock.
Back outside the store, Fang Zhen didn't say hello much, and left with a bang, as if the two of them had an infectious disease.
It's a pity that neither of them can laugh, Gao Bin said angrily:
"Go to my place and have a cup of tea."
"Okay."
I wish to talk to him too.
"By the way, Brother Bin, what were you talking about with Director Luo just now?"
"Aren't you confused? Why do they want to drag me in? After all, you are a descendant of the Xu family and I am nothing."
"Isn't it because you have a good relationship with me?"
"There may be a reason for this."
"That is?"
"Bureau Luo guessed that your father discovered some secret while investigating the truth about the Buddha's head, but because of the lack of time, he handed over the clues to my father. During the investigation, my father was also killed by a gangster.
”
Make a wish and be stunned:
"How could this happen?"
"I don't know if it's true, but this reason is logical, so I believe it for now."
Make a wish and ask:
"Then you want to get involved?"
"I don't know, it's up to you. No matter what, you are the only one I can trust in this matter, so we both have to advance and retreat together."
These words speak to the heart of Xu Yuan. If it were him, he would definitely hide as far away as possible.
Sit down, drink a cup of tea, make a wish and ask:
"I always feel that this incident is too bizarre and sudden, and I am completely unprepared."
"I understand how you feel, because I feel the same, but you still have to face it after all."
After thinking for a while, Gao Bin went to the warehouse and took out a porcelain bowl and placed it on the table casually.
"Look at this~"
Gao Bin's careless movements frightened Xu Yuan:
"Hey, my brother, be careful. You are not afraid of breaking such a valuable treasure."
"No, just take a look first and then talk."
The vision of making a wish is definitely good enough, so the moment Gao Bin took it in his hand, he made a conclusion about the Lotus and Chicken Heart Bowl, as for the age...
"Imitation of Qing Dynasty? Imitation of Yongle? This kind of elegance can only be achieved by Yongzheng."
The corners of Gao Bin's lips raised slightly, and the next second, Xu Yuan suddenly denied his judgment:
"No, no, no..."
He reached out and picked up the chicken heart bowl and looked at it repeatedly, looking at the pattern on the bottom of the bowl, then at the circle, and smacked his tongue:
"Something's wrong. The circle is enough for the mid-Qing Dynasty, but the bowl is a bit new. This is a skewer."
"Would you like to take another look?" Gao Bin signaled.
Among blue and white porcelain, Yongxuan blue and white porcelain is the peak in history, so it is imitated the most.
Imitation of Yongxuan blue and white porcelain began during the Wanli period of the late Ming Dynasty. After entering the Qing Dynasty, all waste was waiting for improvement. In terms of blue and white porcelain in the Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties, Yongxuan porcelain was mainly imitated. Chenghua porcelain was also imitated because of its elegant charm.
Although blue and white porcelain was also imitated during the Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong periods, each has its own characteristics in the imitation process, which means that it is contemporary.
The porcelain of the Kangxi period was crude in shape, with a thick body, and the shapes of the objects were mostly straight lines.
There are many imitations of Hongwu and Xuande blue and white porcelain. During this period, blue and white porcelain was especially exquisitely made.
Influenced by the paintings of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the different shades of blue and white were used to achieve the effect of "five colors of ink" in ink.
Kangxi antique porcelain is rich and diverse. It not only inherited many excellent porcelain traditions of the Ming Dynasty, but also continuously innovated in the porcelain industry technology. Some are enough to resemble the real ones, or even exceed the level of Ming porcelain, which fully demonstrates the pottery skills of the Kangxi period.
Creative talent and outstanding expressiveness.
Someone once praised and said: "Among the porcelains in the world, we are the best; among our porcelains, Kangxi is the best."
The Yongzheng dynasty only lasted for thirteen years, but Emperor Yongzheng valued and loved ceramic production even more than Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong did, and his artistic aesthetic was very high.
Therefore, the ceramics of this period reached high achievements in terms of quantity and variety.
The shape of porcelain has changed from the thick and clumsy style of the Kangxi period, and has been replaced by a light, handsome, elegant and delicate shape with soft and rounded lines.
Emperor Yongzheng liked elegance, and antique porcelain also made great achievements during this period, especially porcelain that imitated the glaze color of famous kilns in the Song Dynasty. Blue and white porcelain was mainly imitated from the Yongle period.
From this point of view, we can also see the similar aesthetics of the two emperors, Emperor Yongle and Emperor Yongzheng.
Let’s not talk about Qianlong’s imitation porcelain. Just like him, he liked to show off and show off his skills, so he neglected artistry. Instead, he was the worst generation among the three generations of imitation porcelain from Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong.
The chicken heart bowl that Gao Bin just took out is a modern high imitation, imitating the Yongzheng Yongle blue and white lotus pattern.
At first glance, the shapes and decorations are all similar to the original ones of the Yongle period. However, in terms of the arrangement of the decorations, the utensils of the Yongle period appear more complex, while those of the Yongzheng period are more sparse.
The distance between the central pattern on the inside of the bowl and the surrounding ring patterns is clearer. The patterns painted on the whole vessel are more detailed and stretched than those in Yongle, and the brushwork is relatively delicate.
In terms of blue and white hair color, the hair color of Yongle instruments penetrates deep into the fetal bones. The blue and white flowers have the halo and crystal spots unique to the Yongle Dynasty, while the hair color of the Yongzheng Dynasty is more elegant and the decorative paintings are more clear.
In order to make the artifact more 'authentic', a ring foot from the middle Qing Dynasty was even grafted onto it. A layman would definitely not be able to tell the difference, but this cannot be hidden from the eyes of an expert.
I just picked it up and looked at it for a while and found the problem.
The bowl of body and mind, the sole of the foot is old, even a fool knows what is going on.
But it has to be said that apart from the lack of heat in the old craftsmanship, there is nothing wrong with this fake.
Of course, the biggest problem with imitation blue and white lies in the raw materials. The Ming blue and white used Persian Suma Liqing, which is almost impossible to find now.
"Where did you get this? It's amazing." Xu Yuan put down the bowl and sighed.
"I got it from a street stall. The stall owner was jealous and thought he was getting a small advantage. He bought this bowl for a small price of 10,000 yuan. He asked me for 50,000 yuan, but I paid 300 yuan and took it."
Make a wish and laugh:
"It's so normal. This bowl is enough to scare most people who consider themselves experts."
"Yeah, the scariest thing is that I found several antique porcelains on the street stalls with the same level of craftsmanship as this."
"What?" Xu wish was shocked.
He immediately understood what Gao Bin meant:
"Is there a counterfeiting group committing the crime?"
"Nine times out of ten, and it appears so blatantly in Panjiayuan, what kind of power do you think there is behind this group?"
Xu Wan stared blankly at the bowl of chicken hearts, gradually making assumptions in her mind, and her face became extremely ugly:
"Five meridians?"
"I have no evidence, but besides people from the Five Meridians, who else can have such great power?"
"Yeah, bright-eyed plum blossoms, haha, these people are stealing from themselves, but they still have the nerve to talk to me about justice! Bah!"
After a pause, he looked at Gao Bin with doubtful eyes:
"Brother Bin, you don't want to do harm to the people, do you?"
"I don't have that great sense of justice, but as you saw when we met that day, they were quite hostile to the Xu family's return to the Five Meridians. Why?"
"Afraid that I will disrupt their business?"
"That's just one aspect. I suspect it has something to do with your grandfather's death."
Make a wish and stand up suddenly:
"Can I guess that there was a traitor in Wumai back then who was bent on selfishness, and he happened to be discovered by my grandfather. At that time, he was also faced with the major problem of protecting the national treasure. He really had no one to believe, so he chose to set up a trap.
Hiding the real national treasure?"
Gao Bin nodded secretly. It was still smart to make a wish. He just made a few guesses and guessed pretty well.
"That's what I guessed too."
"If it is true, then it is very likely that my grandfather died in the hands of his own people?" Xu Yuan said, biting his molars.
"Not only your grandfather, but also your father, my father." Gao Bin added more fuel to the anger that had already begun to boil over in the wish.
"Five Meridians!!!" Xu wish murmured in a low voice.
Suddenly, he looked up at Gao Bin:
"Brother Bin, why don't we join in? I want to see how rotten these five meridians are, and give my grandfather, father, and Uncle Gao an explanation!"
Gao Bin smiled happily:
"Okay, I'll accompany you. We brothers join forces. What are we afraid of?"
