Chapter 214: I Don't Need a Magnifying Glass
"I know the last name. Moreover, I also heard about a Japanese man who was also surnamed Earth Spider. Wu Duoying said.
"Oh?" Zhang Lao raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "Tell me about it?"
"This person used to do antique business in Yanjing, but then he was stinky because of a three-sheep dumpling, and then he heard that he left Yanjing in a gray way. โ
Zhang Lao smiled, "Unexpectedly, you have also heard of Earth Spider Sixteen." That's right, nicknamed guava, there's such a thing. This person had also taught in the chemistry department of the university, and the standard of old bronzes was very high, but unfortunately, he ran into Wu Di. โ
"Elder Zhang, you must know better!" Wu Duo.
Spider Sixteen later shifted the focus of the antique business to Taiwan, and a few years earlier, he had passed away. Zhang Chengjin paused slightly, "I knew him when I was in Yanjing. โ
Wu Duo's heart moved, "Could it be that this Earth Spider is long-lasting, and it has something to do with Earth Spider Sixteen?"
Zhang Chengjin nodded, "Earth Spider Changjian is the eldest grandson of Earth Spider Sixteen, and after Earth Spider Sixteen died, he still contacted me, but I won't sell him what he wants to buy." This time, he reversed course and said he was going to sell me something. โ
"I see!"
Zhang Chengjin looked at Wu Di, "Xiao Wu, did you go to Yanjing this time and see Li Tianfeng?"
"You know that?"
"This circle is not small, but it is not big. Actually, I like Li Tianfeng a lot, at least better than Guan Zhiyu. โ
"Well, I feel that Li Tianfeng's character is okay. โ
"I don't like Guan Zhiyu, it has nothing to do with character. In all fairness, at least he's a very disciplined person in his industry. I don't like her, just because he still holds the shelf of a Manchu nobility to this day!"
Wu Duo smiled, "I haven't heard anything from this old man's mouth. โ
"Words are real, shelves are empty, and what is false must be experienced with the heart. Zhang Chengjin waved his hand, "This is my personal attitude, don't affect you." โ
Wu Duo smiled, in response.
"Young and old. Zhang Chengjin patted Wu Duo's shoulder, "When you look at things later, you don't have to shy away from anything, it's okay to say something if you have a problem, and it doesn't matter if you say something wrong." โ

At five minutes and nine o'clock, the earth spider Changjian arrived, in addition to his wife Miri Kawakami and art consultant Jiro Shiratori as Zhang Chengjin said, there were also two bodyguards.
However, the bodyguard did not enter the hall, but just waited at the door like Assistant Li.
Earth Spider Changjian is only in his thirties this year, and he is very handsome, a bit like a certain Japanese male star. Suit and leather shoes, hairstyle is not messy.
His wife, Miri Kawakami, doesn't look very good, with low eyebrows and small eyes, and she is not tall, wearing a suit and having short hair. But she always has a smile on her face, and she is very relatable.
Shiratori Jiro is a tall old man, about the same age as Akira, with silver hair on his back. This person is not ugly at first glance, but he has a hooked nose and thin lips, and he has a bit of a yin owl when he looks closely.
Meet and greet each other and introduce each other.
The Mandarin spoken by the earth spider Changjian is surprisingly good, and it is the kind of standard Mandarin with correct and round words.
So this time to talk about business, there is no need for translation at all.
Shiratori Jiro can also say it, but it's a typical Japanese pronunciation.
And Kawakami Miri seems to only say simple "hello" and "thank you" and the like; I wonder why the earth spider Changjian brought her, is it possible that she is not an adult, and she is also a master of antique identification?
After sitting down, after a few words of gossip, Changjian, the earth spider who was sitting in danger, nodded at Zhang Chengjin, Hu Yunde, and Wu Duo, "Old man Zhang, Mr. Hu, Mr. Wu, then start appreciating!"
"Good. Zhang Lao nodded and raised his hand slightly. Hu Yunde and Wu Duo nodded.
The earth spider Changjian opened a black leather case and took out another box from inside.
This box is not a precious wood, it is bamboo, it is not an old object, it is specially prepared; however, the craftsmanship is very exquisite, the box surface is woven and ironed by bamboo strips, forming a double Ruyi head ornament;
Treasures of the court.
When the bamboo box is opened, it is lined with blue velvet, and four rattles are placed side by side in four card slots.
The earth spider Changjian took it out one by one and put it on the table, "Please!"
The height and size of the four rattles are the same, they are all about 18 centimeters tall and about 10 centimeters in diameter in the abdomen.
The shoulders are rounded and the neck is beautiful.
The glaze is pure white, not color cast, fine and smooth.
The picture, as Hu Yunde said to Wu Duo before, is a four-season flower, located below the shoulders and above the circle feet.
One is a narcissus for spring, one is a hollyhock for summer, one is a poppy for autumn, and one is a rose for winter.
In fact, roses can also be counted as year-round blooms, which represent winter and also convey the perfect finish.
In addition, hollyhocks have another name, and those who like to watch palace fighting dramas should know: one zhang red.
These four pictures are elegantly composed, with large blank spaces, but without text and seal decoration.
The color material is bright and has a glass texture, and when you change the viewing angle, there is also a soft sense of reflection.
It's beautiful indeed.
Zhang Lao first picked up a piece with a picture of narcissus, Hu Yunde then picked up a piece with a picture of hollyhock, and Wu Duo also took advantage of the trend and picked up a piece with a picture of poppies. The rose picture is temporarily immobile.
After Wu Duo got started, he first took a closer look.
The soles of the feet are glazed with white glaze, and there is no money. The pedicure rules are detailed. It is obvious that the tire is thin and thin where the tire is exposed.
When you touch the color picture with your hand, you can clearly feel the bulge when you close your eyes, but it is very smooth.
The painting is a fine brush painting, and the painting is exquisite.
After reading it, Wu Duo subconsciously looked at it. Nagaken the earth spider was still sitting upright, Miri Kawakami still had a smile on her face, but Jiro Shiratori had his eyes half-closed, and his hands folded on his abdomen, as if he had come to fill the scene.
At this time, Zhang Chengjin and Hu Yunde each took out a professional magnifying glass from their bodies.
Wu Duo saw that he didn't bring it, and he couldn't resonate at the same frequency, so he couldn't help but bow his head and smile awkwardly.
The identification of enamel color is indeed invisible to the naked eye and requires the use of a magnifying glass. That is, on some small ornaments, there will be very fine opening lines.
This is only useful for enamel, not pastel, because there will be no protrusion in pastel, and there will be no such opening lines.
At this time, the earth spider Changjian looked at Wu Duo and smiled slightly, reached into the inner pocket of the suit, and took out a small box, "Mr. Wu, don't you have a magnifying glass?"
Wu Duo also smiled slightly, "Thank you, I really didn't bring it." I don't need a magnifying glass, though. โ
"Oh?" the earth spider Changjian was slightly surprised, "I don't need a magnifying glass to identify the three generations of enamel colors, this is the first time I've seen it." โ
"It's not the tools that matter, it's the results that matter. Wu Duo said, and began a new round of "touching".
