Chapter 294: True and False
"Young people nowadays are really interesting. Then tell me, what capital do you have to let me give you the only cooperation place?"
Old Man Guo raised his hand and stroked his beard, his face was polite, but the few traces of disdain and ridicule in the depths of his eyes couldn't be hidden.
Obviously, his thoughts are no different from Guo Yichen's, but they are more profound.
"My eyes are the biggest asset. Mr. Guo, if you don't believe it, you can test it at will. β
"Good. Old Man Guo glanced at Guo Yichen who was on the side, "Go ahead, just pick a few casually, don't be embarrassed by Mr. Chu." β
Guo Yichen snorted coldly, and reluctantly turned around and burrowed into the dense shelves.
At this time, Chu Fengping's gaze unconsciously stayed on Guo Qianqian, only to see her lowering her eyes, her eyebrows frowning slightly, as if she had something on her mind, standing quietly behind Old Man Guo without saying a word, but it attracted more attention than the babbling guy......
No wonder Wang Wei's idea of beating this girl, this temperament, this figure, and this face are just a little bit worse than Wang Yunshi!
"Ahem!"
The unpleasant cough pulled Chu Fengping back to reality from his wandering thoughts. I saw Guo Yichen holding a palm-sized bronze wine glass in one hand and a scroll in the other, staring at him warningly: "Boy, what are you looking at?"
Damn, I have a girlfriend and still eat the bowl and look at the pot?
"Nothing. Chu Fengping knew that he was at a loss, so he decisively changed the topic, "Put the things on the table." β
"Hmph. Guo Yichen complied with a dark face, and did not forget to sarcastically say at the end, "Some people can only be toads living in deep wells forever, even if they occasionally eat swan meat, they will eventually be taken away from their mouths by others, and they are thankful that they can taste it." Some people don't know how many pounds and taels they have, and if they don't cherish it with gratitude, they still want to occupy ......"
"Yichen. β
Seeing that Guo Yichen's tone was getting more and more unpleasant, Old Man Guo interrupted.
Anyway, he is also the eldest young master of the Guo family, what is it like to be angry with a rural boy?
It's not a shame to spread it!
Guo Yichen swallowed his anger and shut up.
"Mr. Chu, what age are these two objects, what quality, how much is the market value, what kind of materials are used, what kind of process? 20 minutes of observation time, can you answer it?"
Although Old Man Guo didn't think much of Chu Fengping, he had to admit that he still had a few glimmers of hope in his heartβotherwise, he would not have set aside nearly half an hour for Chu Fengping.
Guo Qianqian's eyes seemed to contain a puddle of water, revealing a sparkle under the illumination of the light. She looked at Chu Fengping expectantly, and kept silently praying in her heart that he was qualified enough to become a collaborator of the Guo Group.
Cooperating with Chu Fengping is actually cooperating with Wang Yunshi.
Although Wang Yunshi and Wang Wei are both surnamed Wang, the two are from different branches and have a very distant relationship.
All in all, this way, she doesn't have to be stalked by some gentleman......
"20 minutes?"
Chu Fengping asked in disbelief.
"Not enough, then add another 10 ......."
"No, it's just five minutes. Without waiting for Old Man Guo to finish speaking, Chu Fengping waved his hand lightly, and his gestures were full of confidence in his victory.
He walked to the table, only glanced at the bronze wine glass very casually, and said directly: "Judging from the shape of the bronzes, it should be a product of the Warring States Period." In addition, judging from the degree of corrosion on the surface of the bronze, the age of this object is also unusually old, at least more than 1,000 years. During the Warring States period, before the army set out, the leader of the army would always drink the wine given by the king in front of the altar of the gods, and the utensils used for drinking were also very particular. That's it on the table. β
As soon as the words fell, Old Man Guo's face showed impatience and disappointment.
I thought it was such a powerful character, but so...... Tsk, it seems that the Guo Group can't escape the fate of forming an alliance with Wang Wei.
He just wanted to open his mouth to drive Chu Fengping out of the Juyuan Pavilion, but Chu Fengping's next sentence made him change his mind instantly: "Say yes, this cup is quite valuable." It's true, but it's not the real thing. β
"What do you mean by that?"
Old Man Guo's expression when he said this was really too excited, so that Guo Yichen and Guo Qianqian couldn't help but glance at each other.
What's the situation?
"True is true, false is false, so what to do. Coldly poured a basin of cold water, Guo Yichen hummed and complained, but his heart rose to his throat - he couldn't be clearer about what he chose. Could it be that this toad really has two brushes?
"Judging from the appearance and production process, it is indeed consistent with the bronze cup of the Warring States Period, but it is not a real Warring States thing, but an imitation of the Han Dynasty. β
Where there is the real thing, there is a fake. This is an eternal truth.
Although the economy of the Han Dynasty was not as developed as it is now, there were many literati who loved to collect antiques. The high price of these gadgets naturally gave rise to a market for imitation fakes.
"So, it's fake and it's true. If it is born in imitations, but the tempering of thousands of years is still very rare, and the market value is ...... That's about the number. β
As he spoke, Chu Fengping stretched out his thumb and index finger and compared "eight".
"Not bad. Old Man Guo nodded again and again, overjoyed.
Guo Yichen's face was swollen and red, and he was secretly admiring and unwilling at the same time: "Don't be blind, right?"
"If I had been so lucky, I would have bought a lottery ticket a long time ago. β
"You...... Since the opening of our Juyuan Pavilion, the bronze cup has been placed in the most conspicuous position in the store, and there are not 10 experts and scholars who come to taste it, but 8 of them, maybe you sent them!"
Yes, it must be like this, otherwise how can you explain that Chu Fengping blurted out the answer less than half a minute after seeing the bronze cup for the first time?! You must know that even the most senior senior cannot give the correct appraisal result in such a short period of time!
Chu Fengping looked at him sympathetically and shook his head: "Alas, Mr. Guo, this is something that you personally randomly selected. Even if I find someone to identify it in advance, how can I be sure that what you have taken must be this bronze cup?"
Unless he identifies everything in the entire Juyuan Pavilion.
Not to mention the problem of money for the time being, the human brain is not a machine, and it can't be carried off without eating or drinking for three days and three nights!
"Mr. Chu, look at this painting again. β
Directly ignoring his grandson, who was so angry, Mr. Guo hurriedly unfolded the scroll, looking forward to Chu Fengping's performance.
There was no doubt that Chu Fengping's answer was perfect.
Chapter 6: Nine Dragons Needle
As the smooth words spit out of his mouth, the sorrow in Guo Qianqian's eyebrows disappeared like dark clouds dispelled by the sun.
She looked at Chu Fengping with relief and tenderness, and a feeling gradually developed in her heart that even she hadn't noticed.
Guo Yichen's mood is more than two or three times more complicated than Guo Qianqian.
On the one hand, he was sincerely happy to have found a high-quality companion for his treasure auction, and on the other hand, it seemed that his rival was not as easy to deal with as he imagined......
"Just two treasures don't mean anything. Guo Yichen said, got into the shelf again, took an extremely delicate-looking sandalwood box, and put it hard in front of Chu Fengping, "Come again! I don't believe you won't make a mistake!"
Well...... Wait, when did you get this thing in the Juyuan Pavilion?
Guo Yichen's eyes were concentrated, and he didn't have any impression in his mind.
Forget it, it is estimated that it is when Li Moyan found the new goods!
He just wanted Chu Fengping to show his flaws, and he was going to ask at all, but as everyone knows, Li Moyan's heart was also full of the same thoughts as him.
Hiss...... Why is this box so faceless? It seems that I am not very competent as a shopkeeper......
"It's!"
With the power of the Divine Eye, Chu Fengping was surprised to feel the unusualness of this sandalwood box.
It's not that there's anything wrong with the box itself, it's what's inside...... It seems to exude some powerful and mysterious power, indescribable, unclear, but it can make people instinctively awe and fear.
Cautiously reach out and open it, and the contents of the box are in full view.
It's just a few silver needles.
The sandalwood looks a little old, the lacquer is a little cracked, and the top is covered with a thin layer of ash, but the silver needle is brand new, as if it was only carefully wiped yesterday.
"......" Chu Fengping pursed his lips, his gaze seemed to be glued to the sandalwood box, and he couldn't take his eyes off.
He subconsciously reached out and twisted one of the silver needles, wanting to put it in front of his eyes to take a closer look, but who knows, the moment his fingertips touched it, the light that was more dazzling than the summer noon sun suddenly exploded.
An unbearable force surged through the body along the meridians, like an extremely restless fish, constantly shaking its head and tail in the lake, setting off ripples after ripples, stronger and stronger, more and more fierce, until the whole lake was turned upside down and unrestless.
......
"You're finally here. An old and distant voice sounded in his head, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. β
Tortured by the sudden change, Chu Fengping couldn't reply, so he could only be forced to listen.
"This pair of silver needles is called Nine Dragon Needles, which is the medical immortal of the Nine Heavens who went down to earth and inadvertently left in the world, condensing his hundreds of years of Taoism. Since it was discovered by you, it means that you have a lot of fate with it. Chu Fengping, you must remember it in your heart, don't live up to this fate. β
"What I teach you next, be sure to keep in mind that it will save your life in the future. β
Don't live up to this fate?
Where is this Nima?
Chu Fengping was so uncomfortable that he could barely think, where could he still hear the sound of constant muttering, he thought about removing his hand from the silver needle, but his arm didn't listen to it.
It's been like a century.
That power finally came to an end, slowly calming down, and the white light that had lingered in front of Chu Fengping's eyes from beginning to end gradually dimmed.
He gasped for air, his forehead covered with cold sweat, as if he had just returned from the ghost gate.
"Hey, are you okay kid, is it okay?low blood sugar or what's wrong?" Guo Yichen looked at the wet Chu Fengping with a frightened expression, for fear that he would burp, "If you want to die outside, don't bring bad luck into the Juyuan Pavilion!"
It's terrifying, but in 10 seconds, I actually sweated so much......
Even though he said cruel words, Guo Yichen honestly stepped forward to support Chu Fengping, and casually carried a stool behind his buttocks: "Sit down, sit down, sit down! Uncle Mo Yan, go pour a glass of sugar water!"
"Oh, okay!"
Li Moyan hurriedly complied.
"Mr. Chu, are you okay, do you need me to call an ambulance?" In a hurry, Guo Qianqian also stepped forward in three steps and two steps, looking at Chu Fengping worriedly, her delicate white and tender fingers on his arm, soft and cool, like a piece of natural jade, people couldn't help but want to put it in the palm of their hands to have a good time.
Consciousness gradually regained consciousness, Chu Fengping raised his hand to hold his forehead: "I'm fine, let Mr. Guo ...... you"
What, what?!
The moment his eyes touched Old Man Guo, Chu Fengping's whole person stiffened in place: "The qi is knotted in the heart, and the blood is not smooth...... What is this......"
It is no secret that Old Man Guo's poor health is in the circle, Chu Fengping has naturally heard about it, but the problem is that he has never cared about Old Man Guo's specific symptoms, nor has he deliberately studied relevant medical knowledge, why does it happen that when he sees Old Man Guo's face, all kinds of strange Chinese medicine practitioners usually automatically jump into his mind?!
Thinking of Fang Cai's strange light and the mysterious old man's earnest instructions, Chu Fengping's heart beat wildly.
Depend on!
Another golden finger?
"Mr. Chu, what are you talking about?" Old Man Guo thought there was something wrong with his ear and asked, "Could it be that you also know medical skills?"
β...... Well, a little bit. With the experience of the Eye of the Connoisseur, Chu Fengping quickly accepted the new buff on his body, calmed down, and looked at Old Man Guo with blazing eyes - the Eye of the Connoisseur and the Nine Dragons Needle are two-pronged, and this is ...... The only cooperation quota of the Guo Group, he has decided!
"Mr. Guo, if I'm not wrong, your symptoms of insomnia, dreams, loss of appetite, shortness of breath and chest tightness have lasted for at least 15 years, right?"
"You, how do you know?"
The huge sense of shock made Old Man Guo take two steps back, almost unable to stand.
Originally, I thought that the ability to identify treasures in every shot was eye-opening enough, but I didn't expect that there were more miracles on Chu Fengping that he hadn't discovered.
Fifteen years ago, the Guo Group experienced an unprecedented economic crisis, at that time, Mr. Guo was the pillar of the entire enterprise, in order to save his family's business, he worked day and night, meals and sleep were extremely irregular, running between various cities, so it lasted for more than half a year.
Half a year later, the economic crisis was lifted, and his body collapsed.
Even though he has been carefully conditioning over the years, Mr. Guo's problem has never been cured.
A few years before his illness, in order to maintain the image of the family, Mr. Guo did not disclose the serious damage to his body and bones, and it was not until nearly three years that the rumors slowly spread......
