"Vice Mayor Zhou, that's not the case. I really have no other intentions. Besides, this thing is not valuable. I just heard that you like these, so I want to give you this thing to express my feelings...
…”
The more Zheng Daming talked, the more confused he became. In the end, he didn't know what he was talking about anymore. One can imagine how much he was afraid of Zhou Minsheng.
"Okay, okay, put this thing away quickly and pretend I didn't see anything!"
Zhou Minsheng had given Zheng Daming enough face. In normal times, he would have kicked out this kind of official runner. In the final analysis, he still gave Qin Fen face. After all, this person came from Guyang County, and
Qin Fen is from Guyang, and he really doesn't want Qin Fen to feel that he looks down on people from Guyang.
"Okay, I'll put it away now, put it away..."
Zheng Daming wiped the cold sweat from his forehead while carefully putting the three-color horse figurines into the wooden box.
"Wait a moment!"
At this time, Qin Fen, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly smiled and gestured.
Zheng Daming was stunned, his hands paused, and he did not dare to make the slightest move. After all, the young man in front of him was Zhou Minsheng's son-in-law, so he could not afford to suffer any crime.
"Haha, Deputy County Magistrate Zheng, can you let me see this porcelain of yours?!" Qin Fen chuckled and said.
"this……"
Zheng Daming was a little embarrassed at the moment, so his eyes fell on Zhou Minsheng, and saw that his face was still not very good-looking, but the look he looked at Qin Fen was much gentler.
"Da Ming, my son-in-law runs an antique shop, so I can help you with your business. Remember, this has nothing to do with me!" Zhou Minsheng said.
To be honest, Zhou Minsheng usually likes these things. Although he only took a cursory glance at it just now, he was already attracted by the appearance of these three-color horse figurines. However, he cannot give up his own life just for his own liking.
in principle.
"I understand, I understand!" As he spoke, Zheng Daming excitedly pushed the box to Qin Fen.
Zheng Daming's mind suddenly flashed, and suddenly he felt that he had found a breakthrough.
"By the way, Da Ming, let me introduce to you. My son-in-law is also from Guyang County. Speaking of which, you should be considered fellow villagers."
"Ah...really?!" Zheng Daming almost jumped up with excitement.
"Haha, Deputy County Magistrate Zheng, I am indeed from Guyang County, but I came to Dongchang when I went to school!"
"That's right, that's right. If you meet Guyang again in the future, you must tell me so that I can help you." Zheng Daming didn't want to miss this God-given opportunity.
"Haha, definitely!"
After Qin Fen finished speaking, he had already taken the tri-colored horse figurine in his hand and looked at it carefully. He had just concluded that it was undoubtedly a tri-colored tri-colored pottery from the Tang Dynasty. However, Qin Fen still wanted to hold it in his hand and take a closer look. After all, now his
There isn't a single thing like this in the store.
Five minutes have passed. Qin Fen's eyes have been fixed on the three-color horse figurines. Zhou Minsheng and Zheng Daming have not spoken. They have been waiting. To put it bluntly, they have their own minds at the moment!
Of course Zhou Minsheng really likes this thing. If it is true, he might consider paying for it himself.
As for Zheng Daming, what he thought was more complicated. He bought this thing in the antique street of Guyang County for 200,000 yuan. He also had some eyesight and thought it was real, so he used it to pave the way for himself.
, I didn’t expect to meet Qin Fen, who runs an antique shop, and I was a little worried.
If it's true, it's easy to tell, but if it's fake, it's going to be troublesome. Not to mention whether Zhou Minsheng will accept it, just giving the fake one to the leader is probably enough for him to drink a pot.
After a few more minutes, Qin Fen finally raised his head and looked at the two people with different expressions.
"Brother Qin Fen...what's wrong with me?!" Zheng Daming was sweating profusely in these few minutes and stared at Qin Fen nervously.
"Haha..." Qin Fen smiled at him, then glanced at Zhou Minsheng, who was also looking forward to it, and then said seriously: "These three-color horse figurines are indeed the typical Tang Sancai from the Tang Dynasty!"
"call……"
Zheng Daming breathed out a sigh of relief. Now, the hanging mental arithmetic was completely settled. As long as it was true, no matter whether Zhou Minsheng accepted it or not, at least he would not doubt his sincerity.
"Qin Fen, is this really true?!" At this time, Zhou Minsheng also couldn't hold it anymore.
"Haha, Uncle Zhou, I can guarantee that it is 100% true. Deputy County Magistrate Zheng seems to have put a lot of thought into it!" Qin Fen mentioned Zheng Daming with a hint of meaning as he spoke.
Zheng Daming suddenly became excited. He didn't expect that Qin Fen would actually speak for him. He secretly made up his mind that after returning to Guyang, he must check up on Qin Fen and see if he has any relatives in Guyang. He will take care of him when the time comes.
one time.
"It only means that Da Ming has good vision and has nothing to do with me!" Zhou Minsheng paused and waved his hands hurriedly.
"Deputy County Magistrate Zheng has a good performance and reputation in Guyang, and he really respects you. I think he can be regarded as a good parent officer."
"Well...you should tell me about Tang Sancai. Regarding work matters, everything is done by the public!"
Zheng Daming was originally excited, but he didn't expect Zhou Minsheng to say this, and he immediately felt a little disappointed.
"Haha, Uncle Zhou, let me tell you about Tang Sancai..."
Qin Fen smiled, picked up the three-color horse figurine of the Tang Dynasty again, and said: "The full name of this horse figurine should be, the three-color horse figurine with its head raised and neighing. It is a typical product of the Tang Dynasty. Although the shape is not large, it is of the time.
Representative of the three-color animal figurines.”
"Uncle Zhou, identifying the authenticity of this Tang Sancai is actually very similar to identifying porcelain in terms of texture, glaze color, shape, etc. However, this Tang Sancai is fundamentally different from other porcelains."
"What's the difference?!" Zhou Minsheng said seriously.
"In fact, it is the so-called color. Tang Sancai belongs to low-temperature glaze pottery. Generally, metal oxides are added to the glaze before firing, and then the color changes. Most of them are yellow, brown, and green. As time passes,
The color will also change. Of course, most of these animal figurines are burial objects, and many of them are incomplete after being unearthed."
While talking, Qin Fen handed the Tang tricolor horse to Zhou Minsheng, who observed it carefully. Sure enough, at the bottom of the tricolor horse, there were some damage where the tires were exposed, and there was also fine sand.
"Qin Fen, if you are so good at cheating nowadays, you should be able to make old ones, right?!" Zhou Minsheng couldn't help but wonder.
"Well, of course, this is just an experiment. However, I don't think it is necessary. Look at the exposed tire. If you carefully brush off the gravel, you can see with the naked eye that there will be sandy particles on the exposed tire.
It’s a trap.”
After hearing this, Zhou Minsheng actually used his fingers to rub it gently a few times. As expected, tiny pits appeared as the sand fell.
"We know that the ceramic craftsmen of the Tang Dynasty have been very skilled in firing pottery for a long time, so they can use it as they wish. After the porcelain is formed, it is simple and vivid, especially the animal figurines, which give people a rough, uneven thickness.
But if it is a modern imitation, both the shape and the look are rigid, giving people a lifeless and dull feeling."
"That's true!" Zhou Minsheng carefully looked at the three-color horse figurines in his hands and nodded involuntarily.
"Haha, the next identification is general, just look at the glaze color and cracked patches."
"Qin Fen, please tell me. It just so happens that if you have time, you can learn more about it."
Sure enough, this week Minsheng became interested. He had read some common sense in books before, but he did not expect that Qin Fen was really capable at such a young age.
However, how did he know that Qin Fen had a powerful cheating device? Once his yin and yang eyes were opened, he could see through antiques, treasures, or beauties at a glance.
Qin Fen added a smile to his face, took a sip of tea, and then said again: "Let's talk about the glaze color of these three-color horses first. Uncle Zhou, look at the glaze color of this three-color horse.
The glaze looks smooth, natural and soothing, and the color is warm and glowing with precious light. On the contrary, if it is an imitation, the glaze will be dazzling and give people a very uncomfortable feeling. In fact, this is also the way to identify Tang Sancai.
The most direct method.”
"As for the grain, it's much simpler. The cracks are even and there is an obvious upturned feeling at the cracks. You can tell at a glance that it is older. Otherwise, it must be a replica."
After Qin Fen finished speaking, he poured himself another cup of tea.
"It's really wonderful. I have learned a lot today. Brother Qin Fen, I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable. I am really proud of Gu Yang!"
Zheng Daming, who took a while to react, clapped his hands with excitement on his face.
"Well, according to what you said, it seems that this Tang Sancai is indeed authentic!" Zhou Minsheng couldn't put it down and stroked the three-color horse figurine.
"Guaranteed to be authentic, and in the Tang Dynasty, these three-color horse figurines and camel figurines were all exquisite products of the Tang Dynasty. Especially this one, this three-color horse figurine with its head raised and neighing, has a very good meaning, and has the meaning of promotion and wealth."
"Well, it does seem to be a good thing. Da Ming, keep it well. Don't take it out easily in the future. Be careful of bumping it..."
While Zhou Minsheng was talking, he carefully put the three-colored horse back into the wooden box and pushed it in front of Zheng Daming. However, Qin Fen could see the loving look in his eyes.
"This...Vice Mayor Zhou, this is really a gadget I gave you. I don't know anything about this thing. Isn't this just trying to get something from nature?!" Zheng Daming mentioned the old words again.
"Zheng Daming, if you do this again, I will be really angry!" Zhou Minsheng likes him, but he can't lose his principles!
Zheng Daming felt anxious and hurriedly kept silent!
Qin Fen, who was on the side, smiled lightly, then turned his gaze on Zheng Daming's face and asked with a smile: "Deputy County Magistrate Zheng, how much did you spend on this thing?!"
