Shopkeeper Qiu's hand suddenly trembled. He really couldn't figure out how these two people found his place and even forced him to appraise the treasure. But he knew that if he didn't do it, the guy in front of him might really be chopped off.
My own hands are full of fingers!
Thinking of this, shopkeeper Qiu couldn't help but glance at Wu Wan, and Geng Chaozhong's eyes suddenly shrank. Sure enough, there was someone in the back hall!
Just now, he heard a slight breathing in the back hall. Now Shopkeeper Qiu's eyes confirmed his judgment. Geng Chaozhong quickly gave Wang Tianmu a wink. Wang Tianmu had already noticed that Shopkeeper Qiu was abnormal, but he only slightly
He nodded, but didn't act rashly.
Shopkeeper Qiu didn't notice the eye contact between the two. He had already picked up the largest wooden box on the table with trembling hands. As soon as the red wooden box surrounded by silver wire was opened, the entire Bona Zhai antique store suddenly became agitated.
Bright!
A huge jade cabbage appeared in front of everyone. It seems that this is the jade cabbage Virgo mentioned!
Shopkeeper Qiu carefully picked up the cabbage, observed it carefully, and said:
"Jade is not as good as calligraphy and painting. Calligraphy and painting depends on the pen, and jade depends on the material. No matter how fakes are forged, such a large piece of white jade cannot be found identical. I have never seen the Forbidden City jade jade cabbage, but look at this piece.
Jade, the white one is as white as snow and has a pleasant luster; the green one is crystal clear and verdant, with no flaws or cracks, and the carving is even more ingenious. It is not a real dish, but it is better than a real dish! I judge that this thing is real!"
"Yes, your finger is saved for the time being." Geng Chaozhong nodded.
He didn't know the art, but he also knew that it would be difficult to find a similar piece of such a large piece of jade, and it would be even harder to imitate it. Even if there was a fake, it should be among those paintings and calligraphy.
Shopkeeper Qiu wiped his sweat and picked up a square flat box. After opening it, it turned out to be a copper plate. Shopkeeper Qiu couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Western Zhou Dynasty Sanshi Pan!"
"I'm just asking you, is it true or false?" Geng Chaozhong said coldly.
Shopkeeper Qiu observed carefully for a moment, then shook his head with regret and said: "Fake, although this copper plate is an old imitation, it is not far from the present time, only a hundred years at most. Besides, this copper plate is even more
It's superfluous. If it wasn't done, it would still look real. But if it was done, it's fake at a glance. And this inscription, although it imitates the small seal writing method, but it lacks the simplicity of modern people.
Handwriting."
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, imitations were called "old imitations", while imitations made just now were called "new imitations". As for the patina, it refers to the oxide on the outside of the copperware.
"Okay, you're right about this." Geng Chaozhong's expression remained unchanged, "Next one!"
Shopkeeper Qiu nodded, kept opening the box, and kept exclaiming:
"Lotus pot!"
"Narcissus bowl!"
Until all the boxes were opened, Shopkeeper Qiu never pointed out any fake items. The remaining five or six items turned out to be real!
After looking at the utensils, Shopkeeper Qiu picked up the calligraphy and painting scroll next to him and unfolded the first scroll. He shook his head and said, "This Yan Zhenqing's "Manuscript of Nephew Memorial" is fake!"
Geng Chaozhong nodded. Shopkeeper Qiu answered so affirmatively that it seemed to be a fake. Geng Chaozhong took the fake and put it aside.
The next scroll was "A Picture of Along the River During the Qingming Festival". Shopkeeper Qiu took this scroll and spread it inch by inch to look at it carefully. However, his brows became more and more frowned. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to
He put the scroll aside and said, "We'll look at this later."
Geng Chaozhong nodded, not taking it seriously.
After a while, Shopkeeper Qiu had already looked at seven or eight paintings and calligraphy, but Shopkeeper Qiu threw them aside after just one glance at many of them. Obviously, these paintings were all fakes, and now, Shopkeeper Qiu had already selected more fakes than Geng.
Three things Chaozhong said!
The face of Wang Tianmu next to him was already gloomy as if water was dripping from his face. There were so many fakes, even if Geng Chaozhong dared to take them back, he would not be able to explain them to Virgo!
"Sir," Shopkeeper Qiu finally raised his head, "there are too many fakes in these scrolls of yours. It seems that the expert you hired has average eyesight!"
"Haha," Geng Chaozhong smiled, "If you didn't have average eyesight, how could you ask Shopkeeper Qiu to take charge? Who doesn't know that Shopkeeper Qiu is the big boss on this street!"
Shopkeeper Qiu smiled, with a look of pride on his face. Apparently, Shopkeeper Qiu was also very confident in his ability to appraise treasures.
Geng Chaozhong waved his hand and pointed at the remaining paintings: "Everyone, shopkeeper, has read them all."
Shopkeeper Qiu picked up the remaining paintings and calligraphy and began to look at them carefully. After a while, shopkeeper Qiu pointed to one of the paintings and said: "Only this "Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains" is real, the others are all fake.
"
"What about this painting "Along the River During Qingming Festival"?" Geng Chaozhong pointed to the only remaining painting.
"It's true, but it's not the Qing Dynasty version, let alone the Song version or the Ming version. It's a copy made during the Tongzhi period. It's not a fake, but it can't be taken as genuine." Shopkeeper Qiu shook his head.
Geng Chaozhong was speechless. Of the eighteen paintings and calligraphy, only eight were genuine, and the rest were all fake!
A fire was burning in Geng Chaozhong's heart. Looking at Wang Tianmu next to him, his face was as heavy as water. Listening to the breathing in the back hall, Geng Chaozhong no longer suppressed at that moment. He jumped up and kicked open the back hall door.
Hearing a cold snort from the back hall, a man was about to rush out of the door. Geng Chaozhong stopped talking nonsense, raised his hand and shot the door beam. The man was stunned, raised his hands, and slowly turned around
.
"Who are you?" Geng Chaozhong stared at the dark-faced man in front of him.
"I am a friend of Shopkeeper Qiu. I came here to have tea with Shopkeeper Qiu." The man's legs were trembling and he looked extremely frightened.
"Friend?" Geng Chaozhong looked at this guy and saw a birdcage on the table in the back hall, and in that birdcage, there was a dead bird lying in the cage with its tongue hanging out.
Obviously, when this person saw Geng Chaozhong coming in, he had quick eyes and quick hands and strangled the caged bird in advance!
When the man saw Geng Chaozhong looking at the birdcage, he already realized something was wrong. His hand shook and he was about to take out his gun. He heard a "Bang!" and a bloody hole suddenly appeared in his right shoulder. The man screamed.
, and suddenly fell to the ground!
"You are an unusual guest!"
Geng Chaozhong walked up to this man with a sneer, grabbed him by the neck, and dragged him to the front store like a dead dog. Shopkeeper Qiu had already been trembling when he heard the gunshots inside. Now he saw Boss Tian covered in blood.
He was dragged in, his face turned pale, and he fell to the ground exhausted, unable to speak a word.
"Tell me, Shopkeeper Qiu, who is this person?" Geng Chaozhong asked.
