Chapter 98: Infiltrating an Imposter

The exchange of the four love rhino horn cups in this class is mainly appreciation.

Ning Yuanqi, as the organizer, at the end of the exchange meeting that day, it should be impossible to have a problem with the things he took out.

Although Wu Duo also understood this truth, he couldn't help but listen to them one by one.

Hmm······ It is indeed the work of Fang Hongzhai in the Ming Dynasty, and the materials are all Asian rhino horns······

Wait a minute!

How do you get an imposter?

African rhino horn in the middle of the Qing Dynasty?

This has to be done.

Of these four cups, three are the works of Fang Hongzhai in the late Ming Dynasty, but one of them, "Tao Yuan Carita Chrysanthemum", is a work in the middle of the Qing Dynasty!

In other words, it was originally a good four-love rhino horn cup, but this "Tao Yuan Caritas Chrysanthemum" was later lost or damaged, and a high imitation was replaced!

Who is the craftsman in the middle of the Qing Dynasty who imitates this "Tao Yuan Caritas Chrysanthemum", I didn't hear the relevant content.

However, it is very strange that this set of cups was originally made of the horns of the Asian rhino, why would this high-imitation cup be made of African rhino?

Before the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the art of rhino horn was basically the Asian rhino, and after the middle of the Qing Dynasty, the use of African rhino began to increase.

There is a slight difference between Asian rhino horn and African rhino horn, and generally speaking, the African rhino has a slightly thinner filament than the Asian rhino. If you look at the whole horn, the African rhino horn is also larger.

With doubts, Wu Duo studied it carefully.

I see!

This high imitator, his skills are not up to the level of Fang Hongzhai, and the lines are fine, which is first conducive to his carving.

At the same time, after carving, it has to be colored and old, and at the same time, the structure of the filament is also changed to make it slightly thicker. Originally, the difference in the thickness of the two filaments was also negligent.

After the thread becomes thicker, the original carving content will also undergo a slight "expansion", so his original restrained and restrained carving style becomes more natural and closer to Fang Hongzhai's level.

What a painstaking effort.

At the same time, this is not the same relief pattern as the high imitation, "Tao Yuan Carita" as long as the style and knife skills are similar.

Therefore, this "Tao Yuan Caritas Chrysanthemum" is difficult to identify separately when placed with the other three rhino horn cups.

What's more, from the middle of the Qing Dynasty to the present, more than two hundred years have passed.

"Xiao Wu, do you like it, I see that you can't put it down!" At this time, Ning Yuanqi smiled on the side.

"I don't sell it if I like you!" Wu Duo retracted his thoughts and put down the cup in his hand at the same time.

Ning Yuanqi smiled, "However, if you pass through my hands, that is, I have them, you are the owner of them just now." ”

"That's right. Wu Duo also smiled, thinking for a while, he still didn't talk about it.

Wu Duo suddenly thought again, among the more than a dozen masters on the scene, maybe some of them could see it with deep eyesight, and they might also find an opportunity to tell Ning Yuanqi quietly in the future.

But in the field, that would certainly not be said.

Wu Duo walked out of the circle of appreciating the rhino horn cup, and compared his heart to his heart, if it was his own collection, if others really saw it, and then found a chance to point it out to himself, then his heart may not be happy for a while, but he will definitely be grateful to this person afterwards.

However, he didn't know Ning Yuanqi, and he wasn't very familiar with it. Let's put this thing aside.

This is the end of the exchange meeting.

At the end, Ning Yuanqi introduced tomorrow's arrangement. In the morning, some small projects such as fishing and playing cards are arranged, and the conference room will also be open, and there will be spontaneous small-scale exchanges that can continue tomorrow morning.

After lunch tomorrow, I rented a golf course near Cuiyun Villa in the afternoon. After dinner, you can stay another night or go back. The exchange meeting lasted for two days, and these were mainly the arrangements.

The dinner of the day was in the banquet hall of the annex building, a large table, and everyone sat around.

Ning Yuanqi is naturally the position of the main escort, flanked by Zhang Chengjin and Jin Shengzhen.

Chen Yongjun is the general manager of Qixiang Pawnshop, and he sits in the deputy escort position opposite the main escort, and he is flanked by two other older seniors.

The four of them, Ning Shuang sat under Zhang Chengjin, Ge Liang sat under Jin Shengzhen, and Luo Yuze pulled Wu Duo to pick a place and sat together.

The first half is stylized, and the second half is a single toast or something. Wu Duo didn't drink much, but he still toasted one by one, including the Curator Liu.

Wu Duo, Ning Shuang, Luo Yuze, and Ge Liang also drank one alone. Ning Shuang doesn't drink alcohol, she drinks juice, and Wu Duo also took the opportunity to drink a glass of juice, just to relieve the wine.

"If you can't drink it, drink less, look at your big red face. After drinking, Ning Shuang whispered.

"Is it very red?" Wu Duo couldn't help but pick up his mobile phone and use the black screen as a mirror to look at it.

At this time, the two of them were standing not far from the table, and the others at the scene were in a state of "chaotic fighting" in different directions.

Ning Shuang chuckled, took out her mobile phone, and took a picture of Wu Duo, "Oh, look." ”

"Ugh. Wu Duo looked at it, "I don't usually drink so red, maybe today beer and red wine are mixed together." However, I really can't drink enough, but today, it's not good to toast without a glass of wine. ”

After drinking a lot of wine, Wu Duo said more.

"Well, my sister said you're pretty measured. ”

"Your sister said me?" When Wu Duo heard Ning Xue, he suddenly felt more upset than drinking more, "You two sisters, your personalities are similar, it seems that they are not the same······"

"She's young, and if there's anything wrong with her, don't mind too much. In fact, she doesn't have bad intentions, but she has a lot of ghost ideas. ”

Wu Duo nodded, but didn't stop there, changed the topic and asked, "Isn't it very hard for you to archaeology?"

"In fact, it's not easy to do any line of work, the key is whether you like it or not. ”

"Why do you like this?"

"My mother used to be from the Dongshan Provincial Institute of Archaeology, so maybe it had an influence. Speaking of her mother, a hint of gloom flashed in Ning Shuang's eyes. Wu Duo combined with Ning Xue last time to say that his father went to see Ning Shuang, but he didn't mention his mother, and he faintly understood a little in his heart.

"What major did you study before, and how did you get into the antique shop?" Without waiting for Wu Duo to respond, Ning Shuang also changed the topic.

"I actually studied gemology, antiques are just a hobby, like you said, like you like, you can do well······"

Before he finished speaking, Luo Yuze came over, "It's just right, I'll toast the two masters together for a ······."

He looked really drunk, and he didn't shy away from Wu Duo, "Teacher Shuang, what do you think of me, Xiaoxue, you have a lot of right to speak!"

"I can't handle that. Ning Shuang smiled slightly, "I don't understand either." ”

"You don't understand, does he understand?" Luo Yuze pointed at Wu Duo, and his body shook, "You two are here to be good at me, one doesn't care about my buddy, and the other doesn't care about my sister······"
