"Miss Mo, this inkstone is just an ordinary black brick inkstone. Shopkeeper Li and I can confirm this." Hearing that Mo Yongxin asked a young man to look at the inkstone, he was originally standing in front of the table.
An old man said with a somewhat dissatisfied tone.
"What's going on?" As soon as Qin Yu heard the old man's tone, he knew that there seemed to be something he didn't know about, and asked in a low voice towards Mo Yongxing beside him.
"Today my sister and I came to Xiangbaozhai to pick out an antique for my grandfather as a birthday gift, but for some reason my sister was attracted to this ordinary inkstone. She always felt that it was
The inkstone is not simple, but this old man is very proud and insists that it is just an ordinary inkstone." Mo Yongxing whispered the situation beside Qin Yu.
"What's the background of this old man? Isn't he with you?" Qin Yu was confused. If he wasn't with you, then if Mo Yongxin wanted to see the inkstone, he wouldn't have to interrupt.
"This person was invited by Brother Fang. He is said to be a well-known expert in the antique circle. Brother Fang knew that my sister and I were coming to Liulichang, so he volunteered to bring this old man with him. He said that this old man was here.
, you don’t have to worry about buying fakes when you buy things." After Mo Yongxing finished speaking, he whispered in Qin Yu's ear: "Brother Fang has been pursuing my sister, but my sister doesn't seem to be interested in brother Fang."
Mo Yongxing's words made Qin Yu understand the whole situation. It was obvious that Mo Yongxin felt that this inkstone was strange, but the old expert invited by Fang Ning thought that this inkstone was just an ordinary black brick inkstone, and the two were in a stalemate.
, and Mo Yongxin invited him to take a look, which could easily become a provocation in the old man's eyes, as if Mo Yongxin didn't believe his vision.
However, Qin Yu is a little curious. In terms of antique appraisal skills, he can only be regarded as a layman. Mo Yongxin definitely didn't ask him to appraise the value of this inkstone as an antique. If it was to appraise a magic weapon, why would Mo Yongxin know for sure?
This inkstone is a magic weapon.
"Mr. Qin, as soon as I get close to this inkstone, the gourd on my body will react." Mo Yongxin pointed to a small ink jade gourd hanging on her skirt as a reminder.
"The gourd that can turn evil spirits away and attract wealth!"
Qin Yu saw the gourd on Mo Yongxin's skirt and narrowed his eyes. He had not looked at Mo Yongxin carefully before. After all, Meng Yao was present. If he stared at other girls, even if Meng Yao was good-tempered, he would probably get angry.
With this reminder from Mo Yongxin, Qin Yu finally understood that Mo Yongxin must insist on asking him to come and see the inkstone. The gourd that can transform evil spirits and attract wealth is a magical weapon. Under normal circumstances, magical weapons will not react.
Unless it encounters other magic weapons, there will be some manifestations.
Since Mo Yongxin had reminded him, Qin Yu ignored the old man's dissatisfied look and walked straight to the table, his eyes falling on the dark inkstone.
This is an inkstone about ten centimeters thick. The length and width are the area of an ordinary brick. Qin Yu carefully looked at the front of the inkstone and found nothing.
"snort!"
Seeing Qin Yu frowning, the old man snorted softly, seeming to laugh at Qin Yu's understanding at such a young age. This inkstone was verified by both him and Shopkeeper Li from Xiangbaozhai. It was just an ordinary black piece.
Brick and inkstone, this young man wants to show off, let's see what he can say in a while.
Qin Yu was not polite and turned the inkstone over again, but still found nothing. The shopkeeper Li of Xiangbaozhai showed a strange smile when he saw Qin Yu's extremely unprofessional actions.
At first, Shopkeeper Li thought that the person Miss Mo’s family had hired must have some skills. Although he was young, he might just specialize in inkstones. However, seeing Qin Yu’s actions at this moment, Shopkeeper Li was
I curled my lips inwardly, this is just a novice who doesn't know how to appraise antiques.
Antique appraisals generally require the use of something, which must be protected. According to the opinion of knowledgeable people, the inkstone cannot be allowed to leave the table. Even if you want to pick it up and look at it, people will pounce on it, not like Qin Yu.
Now, just pick up the inkstone and look at it.
The main purpose of doing this is to prevent accidents. Antiques are generally very expensive and expensive. If you accidentally slip while holding them in your hands and the antiques fall, the loss will be huge.
I believe that many friends who have watched the CCTV "Treasure Appraisal" program will find that when experts appraise some items, they usually put the items on the table, hold a magnifying glass, and jump in front of the items to appraise them. Even if sometimes it is necessary to
When you pick up the items to look at the shading and other aspects, most of them will not leave the table. The purpose is to prevent some accidents from happening.
Therefore, in the eyes of these two experts, Qin Yu's current actions are completely the actions of a layman. Anyone who has been in the antiques industry for a few months will know this truth.
However, Qin Yu doesn't know the contempt of these two old men now. Even if he knew it, he wouldn't have any idea, because Qin Yu is indeed a layman in the antique business. I'm afraid everyone here has seen the number of antique treasures.
He is the least of them.
As soon as the black inkstone was in hand, Qin Yu raised his eyebrows, and a surprised light flashed through his eyes. Then he held the inkstone with his right hand and slowly slid his left hand over the inkstone. No one saw the white light in the palm of Qin Yu's left hand.
Moving according to the movement of his palms.
During this period, Qin Yu's eyes flickered and his expression changed. It wasn't until his left hand completely slid across the inkstone that Qin Yu's expression returned to normal. After placing the inkstone back on the table, he turned to Mo Yongxin and said:
"This is just an almost ordinary inkstone."
"An ordinary inkstone?" Mo Yongxin's beautiful eyebrows were slightly twisted, as if she didn't believe it.
"I've said it before, this is an ordinary black brick inkstone." After hearing Qin Yu's words, the old man's tone became better. As a well-known appraisal expert in the capital circle, he was questioned by this young woman.
He had become angry a long time ago. If it weren't for the powerful family behind Fang Ning who invited him here, he would have left in a hurry.
"Haha, since the guy invited by Miss Mo also said that this is just an ordinary inkstone, I will put it away. If Miss Mo wants to choose antiques, she can go to the front to continue her selection."
Shopkeeper Li laughed. The value of this inkstone is only ten thousand or twenty thousand. He usually doesn't need him to receive it. However, Mo Yongxin has a special status. Shopkeeper Li has also heard of the Mo family. Let alone buying one piece for ten thousand or twenty thousand.
Even if Miss Mo bought an inkstone for one or two hundred dollars, he would still have to receive it in person. Of course, this would only be possible if their Xiangbaozhai had such cheap items.
"Well, then let's go to the front and have a look." Mo Yongxin had to give up the inkstone after hearing this. Since Qin Yu said that it was an ordinary inkstone, then this inkstone cannot be a magic weapon, and the inkstone is not
When it comes to the appraisal of magical artifacts and antiques, Mo Yongxin still believes in the abilities of these two old men.
When Qin Yu saw Mo Yongxin about to leave, his expression changed a few times, and finally he sighed secretly and said in his heart: "Qin Yu, Qin Yu, if you really don't tell Miss Mo the truth, you are too mean.
Although the secret hidden in this inkstone is very valuable, if it weren't for Miss Mo, how would you have discovered it?"
Qin Yu was having a battle between heaven and man in his heart. Seeing that Mo Yongxin was about to turn around and leave, Qin Yu finally straightened his face and shouted: "Although this inkstone is just an ordinary inkstone, it is good to buy it back and use it to practice calligraphy."
Yes, Miss Mo, don’t you think so?”
As soon as Qin Yu said these words, a strange color flashed through Mo Yongxin's eyes. As soon as Qin Yu, a smart woman like Mo Yongxin, finished speaking, she understood the meaning of Qin Yu's words: This inkstone is
Good stuff, but hard to say here.
"Yes, I like this inkstone very much. Although it is just an ordinary black brick inkstone, it would be good to buy it and use it to sharpen inkstones and practice calligraphy." Mo Yongxin turned around and gave Qin Yu a meaningful look.
.
Crossing Mo Yongxin's eyes, Qin Yu unconsciously avoided Mo Yongxin's gaze. He felt that all his little thoughts were seen through by Mo Yongxin. Qin Yu muttered in his heart: "Miss Mo's IQ is too high."
It’s scary, if anyone marries Miss Mo from now on, I’m afraid Miss Mo will see through any bad intentions.”
When Mo Yongxin wanted to buy this inkstone, shopkeeper Li naturally wouldn't refuse. The items displayed by Xiangbaozhai were naturally for sale. He immediately wrapped the inkstone for Mo Yongxin. Mo Yongxin took the inkstone and walked towards the outside.
, this inkstone was just an unexpected gain. Her purpose of coming to Xiangbaozhai to choose a gift for her grandfather's birthday has not been completed yet, so naturally she will not leave.
The people who knew Qin Yu best at the scene were Meng Yao and Mo Yongxing. Mo Yongxing discovered something fishy from the conversation between his elder sister and Qin Yu, and while walking past Qin Yu, he asked softly: "
Is this inkstone a good thing?"
"It's a very good thing." Qin Yu almost said this with a bitter smile. The thing didn't fall into his hands, and Qin Yu felt that his heart was bleeding.
"Hey, that's good. When you go out later, tell me what good thing it is. Look at the pain in your body." Mo Yongxing saw the expression on Qin Yu's face and was happy, baring his teeth.
Quickly follow in the footsteps of his elder sister.
"Is there something weird about Qin Yu's inkstone?" Meng Yao and Qin Yu walked at the back, and Meng Yao asked in a low voice in Qin Yu's ear.
Having been with Qin Yu for four years, how could he hide the changes in the expression on her lover's face from her? Meng Yao was sure that there must be some secret in this inkstone.
"This is a very remarkable thing." Qin Yu replied in a low voice, and then added: "In the world of metaphysics, this thing is very famous. It can be said to be a rare treasure."
"Ah!" Meng Yao was so shocked by Qin Yu's words that she opened her mouth and almost shouted. Fortunately, she reacted in time and quickly covered her mouth with her white and tender hands.
Seeing Meng Yao's cute and innocent look, Qin Yu laughed, and the pain in his heart was diluted a lot. (To be continued)
