Chapter 206: Questioned
Soon, Li Lao came down from the upper floor with an old man who was slightly blessed.
The old man was the owner of this shop, and at this time he was holding a long box in his hand, and Wang Yun guessed that this should be the saber they said.
"Old Li, what are you discussing with the boss?" Zhou Yuancai asked with a smile.
Some people in the jade carving world regard the status of master and apprentice very seriously, and some people don't care about this, and Li Lao belongs to the latter.
It stands to reason that Zhou Yuancai is his apprentice grandson, but he only calls Li Lao like others.
After Elder Li came down, he saw that Wang Yun was also here, and immediately asked him, "Wang Yun, you are here too, come, you come to help take a look at this sword!"
After speaking, Li Lao took out the wooden box in Boss Zhao's hand and handed it to Wang Yun.
Wang Yun saw that the inside of this wooden box was finely made of silk and satin, and a saber was wrapped in the middle, but there were many rusts on the scabbard, which was very ancient at first glance.
It's just that except for a little rust on the sword body, there is almost no rust on the other parts of the sword, and it still looks sharp.
Wang Yun was about to take a closer look, but Boss Zhao looked at Wang Yun with suspicious eyes on the side, and then said, "Wang Yun, Elder Li, he can't be the Wang Yun you told me about who studied with Zhu Mingqiang for a month and won your apprentice in the jade carving competition, right?"
Zhou Yuancai, who was standing on the side, was somewhat embarrassed at this time, but he didn't expect to lose to Wang Yun.
Li Lao nodded, "It's him, it's true that he's only studied for a month, we can't lie to you!"
Boss Zhao still looked at Wang Yun with a suspicious face, seeing that he was estimated to be in his early twenties, not to mention how talented he was in carving, but Li Bogu asked him to come and see this controversial sword, Boss Zhao couldn't understand it.
"Li Lao, aren't you digging for domestic sales with me, he is so young, not to mention whether his ability in jade carving has been deliberately built, but antiques require a lot of experience and vision, and this kind of young man may be able to see it. ”
As soon as Boss Zhao said this, Wang Yun's movements in his hand also paused, originally he just heard Zhou Yuan say that Li Lao was here, so he came over to take a look, how could he listen to this person's meaning, it seems that he suspected that his achievements in jade carving were faked.
"Boss Zhao, do you think I cheated in the jade carving competition?" Wang Yun's tone was slightly displeased.
Don't look at Wang Yun, who usually looks like he is easy to speak, but when he encounters problems of principle, he is also very serious.
Boss Zhao was questioned like this, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all, "That's pretty much what it means, although the things carved in your jade carving competition are better than others, but the normal two say that they may not necessarily learn the design of materials in a month, how can they directly carve large pieces, although they study for eight or nine months, even if they study for a year, they can also participate in the newcomer jade carving competition, but if they want to attract attention, they must only learn for a month to get the first place will get more attention, not to deceive the world and steal the name and what?"
Everyone didn't expect Boss Zhao to say this, and it was too late to stop it when they reacted.
"I have been engaged in the jade industry, the selection of materials is not a problem for me at all, plus I have identified a lot of ancient jade, the design for me as long as I can draw, I have a lot of subjects in my head, as for carving, I feel that I am very talented in this area, when I saw the information given to me by Zhu Lao, I began to do it myself, and then Zhu Lao also personally pointed me out one or two, these Zhu Lao are all known, Boss Zhao does not understand and question me is also normal, just don't affect Zhu Lao's name. ”
When Wang Yun said these words, his tone was also very loud, and he felt like he was going to be angry.
"You ......"
Zhao Lao wanted to say something, but at this time, Li Lao on the side spoke in time.
"I said Boss Zhao, you don't want to be serious with a young man, it's also to blame me for forgetting to tell you, Wang Yun is an expert in ancient jade, so design is really not difficult for him, not to mention the selection of materials, people know more about jade than I am, after all, there are so many people who have seen it with their own eyes when the square rises eleven pieces of blockage, as for the carving, Zhu Lao has personally pointed out, and there will definitely be no mistake." ”
Hearing what Li Lao said, Boss Zhao was shocked, he didn't expect Wang Yun to be an expert in ancient jade, and he must have made a mistake to be an expert in ancient jade at this level.
"Gu Yu expert, how is this possible? Isn't there something in the family that has made a false title, Elder Li, I think there must be something wrong with this person?"
As soon as Boss Zhao finished speaking, Li Lao's face suddenly sank, "If you want to say that this title is really given to him by someone else, but do you know who this person is? It's Qi Lao! He is Qi Lao's Guangmen disciple, if you want to doubt his ability, just ask Qi Lao yourself, anyway, your relationship with Qi Lao is closer than my relationship with him!"
After hearing this, Boss Zhao was stunned.
Who of them who does antiques doesn't know that Qi Lao is the first person in the antique industry, and Qi Lao is the benchmark in the antique industry, even if Boss Zhao doubts Wang Yun, even if he suspects Zhu Lao, he will not doubt Qi Lao.
At this time, Boss Zhao only felt embarrassed, so he had to say to Li Lao in disgust, "Why didn't you say earlier that he was a disciple of Qi Lao, it's not surprising that Qi Lao's foundation has such a high talent!"
Old Li knew that Boss Zhao was looking for himself to go down the stairs, and said to him with a smile, "Old Zhao, you are so old, and your temper is still like a child." ”
After speaking, Li Lao looked at Wang Yun again and said, "Wang Yun, Boss Zhao has this kind of temper, he is also right about things and not people, so don't take it to heart." ”
Hearing what Li Lao said, Wang Yun naturally didn't want to say anything, but he was a little unhappy in his heart.
Boss Zhao looked at Wang Yunshuo next to him and said, "I said something inappropriate just now, and it is true that I felt too shocked to hear this, but since we are fortunate to meet today, I also want to see your ability in person, or you come to see this sword, if you can really say something, I can give you something." ”
Wang Yun didn't want anything from him, but he also wanted to prove his ability in front of Boss Zhao.
At this time, Boss Zhao continued, "I think this sword must be Zhong Mingming's saber, you look at the hilt of the sword is still engraved with his name, the most important thing is this jade, the characteristics are exactly the same as the ancient jade of the Southern Song Dynasty." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Lao also expressed his opinion in his heart, "My opinion is different from that of Boss Zhao, I don't think it can be determined that it is a sword used by him because it is engraved with the word bright, and this ancient jade, although it is in line with the characteristics of the ancient jade of the Southern Song Dynasty, but there are many ancient jades of the Northern Song Dynasty that are the same as those of the Southern Song Dynasty, so it cannot be concluded that it is the ancient jade of the Southern Song Dynasty." ”
Wang Yun had been searching in his mind for who Zhong Mingliang was, because he only vaguely felt as if he had seen it in a certain book.
This can't be blamed on Wang Yun, after all, Zhong Mingliang is indeed not famous in history.
He was only one of the leaders of the peasant uprising in Fujian, Guangdong, during the Southern Song Dynasty.
So if you want to see what is famous, you can only start with this sword and Gu Yu.
For Gu Yu, Wang Yun can see the identification even if he doesn't use the treasure appreciation ability.
