Just as Du Tao said, the biggest gimmick of this treasure appraisal program is smashing it with a hammer, and smashing it to pieces, which is quite interesting as an audience.
Snap.
The host Wang Ke took a hammer and smashed it hard. A Wanli glazed red round plate that was identified as a fake was smashed into more than a dozen pieces. The face of the person holding the treasure turned black on the spot. It looked like
It’s so sad, if it wasn’t for the show, I would have cried.
"Hey, I bought it for 300,000 yuan, and it's gone with just one hammer. It's really miserable. This collection is really something that ordinary people can't mix with casually. It's just like the stock market. If you're not careful, you can lose everything." Du Tao said with lingering fear.
, but then he smiled and said, "But fortunately I have you. When I see a piece of collection that I like, I will ask you to appraise it for me. That's right."
After glancing at Du Tao, Xue Chen ignored him and continued watching the show.
Snap, snap, snap.
The hammers were raised and lowered one after another, creating a mess. Porcelain was smashed, jades were smashed, bronzes were also smashed, and calligraphy and paintings were not spared. Eight out of ten antiques brought for appraisal were smashed. The audience applauded.
Keep cheering loudly.
"Do you think the experts on this show might be mistaken? What if they misread something and mistake it for something real?" Du Tao asked thoughtfully.
"You ask me, who should I ask?" Xue Chen smiled and said.
"You've also watched the show, so did you find anything wrong?" Du Tao asked again.
Xue Chen said helplessly: "You think it is so easy to identify antiques. Even if you put it in front of your eyes or hold it in your hand, you may not be able to see it 100% accurately. Now across the TV, you ask me to distinguish the authenticity. How can I?
You can see it, unless it is very obviously wrong, such as a fabrication, then you can see it."
"That's right. There are three experts on the stage. They must have accurately identified it as a fake, and that's why they smashed it."
At this time, the program also came to an end. Xue Chen stood up and stretched: "Maybe, but the brown colored sunflower pattern plate from Jizhou Kiln in the Southern Song Dynasty that was smashed looks good. Even if it is a replica, it must be
It’s a high imitation, so the value is not low, it costs several thousand yuan, so it would be a pity to smash it.”
As soon as he returned to his room, Xue Chen received a call. Seeing that it was Zhuge Yi, he immediately picked up the call.
"Xue Chen, do you have time tomorrow? I'm getting together with some old friends. Come and join in the fun. After hearing about you, they are all very curious about you and want to take a look at you." Zhuge Yi
He said with a smile.
Xue Chen's mind moved and he agreed without much thought. He was also very grateful to Zhuge Yi in his heart. Although he didn't say it explicitly, the purpose of asking him to go was very simple and clear, which was to get to know more people in the capital and expand his circle of friends in the capital.
.
And the elderly people who can sit down and drink tea with Zhuge Yi are definitely not ordinary people.
The other party was so kind, even though Xue Chen was not in a hurry and had no intention of integrating into the capital's antique circle for quick success, he still agreed, not wanting to let the other party's good intentions be disappointed.
"Well, tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, we will be at Xianyun Teahouse, the address is..."
Although he came to the capital, he did not delay his morning exercise habit. Xue Chen got up early in the morning and got dressed and went downstairs. Jingjia No. 6 is very luxurious. There is a large green space between the three buildings, and there is also an artificial lake.
, not crowded at all.
Arriving at a secluded place next to the man-made lake, Xue Chen opened his stance and started boxing. Now Huo Shaolin taught him the 20 Tiger-shaped Fist movements in Xingyi Quan. I can’t say he is perfect at it, but he has already mastered it very well.
Even if Huo Shaolin was watching in person, he wouldn't be able to fault it.
Bang bang bang.
On a quiet morning, Xue Chen was galloping around the lake. There were bursts of crunching sounds. He was beaten three times before he started to sweat slightly, and his energy was particularly high.
Just as he was finishing his move, there was applause and sweet laughter from the side: "I heard the sound from far away. When I came over, I saw it was you. What a coincidence."
Han Shiying, who was wearing a light white sportswear, squinted her bright crescent eyes, twisted her body and walked forward with her hands hooked behind her back, her pink lips slightly upward.
"Are you alone? Didn't Sister Tao accompany you?" Xue Chen asked, looking at Han Shiying, and his eyes lit up slightly. At this time, Han Shiying should have just been running and was a little light.
Panting, her youthful and delicate cheeks were also flushed with pink, and in the light mist, like cherry blossoms blooming quietly, there was an indescribable fragrance.
"Well, Sister Tao is staying in bed and refuses to exercise with me. She said that as she gets older, she needs to sleep more to keep her eyesight." Han Shiying pursed her lips and took out a small bag from her pocket.
He handed the tissue over and said, "Here, wipe your sweat."
"No need to wipe it, it will dry soon, and I will wash it when I get back soon." Xue Chen said with a smile, without reaching out to pick it up.
"Wipe it, it's still a bit cold in the morning, be careful not to catch a cold." Seeing that Xue Chen hadn't reached out to take it, Han Shiying pursed her pink and jelly-like lips, "Why, you want me to wipe it for you?"
, wipe it quickly."
"Okay, okay." Xue Chen laughed helplessly, took the tissue, took one out and wiped his sweat, and said casually, "It smells so good."
Han Shiying knew that Xue Chen was talking about the scent on the tissue, but for some reason, her heart still skipped a beat and she felt a little embarrassed. Looking at Xue Chen, she felt a little confused.
"Xue Chen."
"Um?"
"You... what kind of punch did you just throw? Can you teach me some so that I can learn to defend myself?"
"You want to learn?" Xue Chen glanced at Han Shiying and scratched his head.
"No?" Han Shiying looked at it and asked.
"It's not impossible." He asked Huo Shaolin if he could teach someone if he wanted to learn it. Huo Shaolin raised his hand casually and said no problem. If anyone wants to learn it, just teach him. This tiger-shaped boxing is nothing.
For rare boxing skills, people from all over the country can find at least dozens of them.
Huo Shaolin also said that things like martial arts have declined greatly now. The main reason is that each family cherishes their own brooms, and as a result, the inheritance is slowly lost. He despises this very much.
"It's just that the style I practice is Tiger-shaped boxing. It's a fierce way and requires sufficient strength to learn. It's not suitable for women to practice. I can teach you some Yan-shaped boxing. Although I'm not very good either.
Teaching you is enough, but I still want to say that if you plan to defend yourself, learning Xingyi Quan is not very suitable."
"The Twelve-Shaped Boxing is not entirely used for fighting, and it requires long-term practice to master the essence. It has some lethality, but it will take at least three to five months, or even a year and a half. If you want to defend yourself, I think
Is anti-wolf spray more suitable for you and more direct and effective? *** can also be used..."
Hearing Xue Chen say a lot of words to explain that she was not suitable for boxing training, Han Shiying pursed her lips slightly and raised her eyes to look at Xue Chen: "After saying so much, you just don't want to teach me, right?"
"Of course not." Xue Chen said immediately.
"That's good, teach me now. Anyway, I just want to learn, so I don't let you teach for free. I can pay the tuition." Han Shiying said with a smile.
Pay tuition? Xue Chen smiled and did not answer the question: "Well, since you want to learn, then I will teach you a few moves of Yan Xing Fist." In his opinion, Han Shiying just acted on a whim and had a new idea.
Just strong.
Except for the Tiger-shaped boxing, Xue Chen had not studied the Yan-shaped boxing carefully with Huo Shaolin, but he had also seen Huo Shaolin do it, and he could easily master the relatively simple first few movements.
"Learn from me, the first move, Swallow Copying Water!"
Xue Chen made a horizontal punch, stretched out his right fist downwards, looped his left arm, leaned forward, and took a big step...
Han Shiying followed suit and imitated from the sidelines.
Xue Chen took a look and was surprised that what Han Shiying learned was similar to the three-and-a-half-quarter shape. He couldn't help but secretly wonder, is it because of the actor? He can barely do even some more difficult movements. It seems that he has good physical fitness.
Nice, very flexible.
"It's basically correct, but the direction of this arm is wrong. It's tilted downward, and the steps are not fast enough. It doesn't have the lightness of the swallow..."
"You should have seen the ripples caused by swallows flying across the water. Imagine it in your mind..."
Xue Chen stood beside her, pointed out some of Han Shiying's mistakes, and helped her correct them.
The two of them had been practicing for more than half an hour, but Han Shiying couldn't hold it any longer. Fine beads of sweat appeared on the tip of her tired nose, and her face was rosy.
"No, I'm too tired. Let's stop here today." Han Shiying shook her sore shoulders and complained, "It's so tiring."
"In ancient times, children from rich families went to school, while children from poor families played with guns and sticks. Isn't it because martial arts training is very difficult, but Yan Xingquan is a relatively gentle boxing method." Xue Chen said.
"Oh, that's it. Well, thank you very much for today. I'll see you tomorrow." Han Shiying waved goodbye.
"Tomorrow..." Xue Chen hesitated, "It's not certain whether I will be there tomorrow or not. Maybe I will return to Haicheng tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"That's right." Han Shiying nodded, "That doesn't matter. I can continue practicing when you are here."
"That's fine, even if I'm not here, you can continue to practice this first move. Since you learned it from me, I will be responsible for you. It's not okay if you don't practice well. I'm very strict." Xue Chen laughed.
Hehe said.
"Who wants you to be responsible..." Han Shiying muttered in a low voice, and finally glanced at Xue Chen with a smile, and turned away leisurely.
Xue Chen also went upstairs, and Du Tao just got up from the bed.
"Hey, why do you smell so good? It's a woman's perfume. Seriously, where did you go when you got up early in the morning?" Du Tao laughed and asked loudly.
"Ask the boss who pays your salary." Xue Chen replied and went back to his room to wash up. (To be continued)
