At eight o'clock in the morning the next day, Tang Xin opened the shops, habitually glanced at the "Gu Xinzhai" opposite, and found that the door of the store was closed, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and at the same time secretly wondered: Where has Huang Min gone these days? Why haven't you seen her guarding the counter all the time? Could it be that she went to discuss the engagement with Wei Xiaojun?

As if to answer the doubts in his heart, Wei Xiaojun suddenly appeared at the door, stood sideways in front of him, holding a big red invitation with the word "Xi" in his hand, and said with a smile: "Xiao Tang, morning! I'm here to send you an invitation." ”

Tang Xin was stunned for a moment, and asked coldly, "What invitation?"

Wei Xiaojun raised the invitation in his hand and said, "On the 26th of this month, that is, the day after tomorrow, I held an engagement ceremony with Min Min. Although you have left Gu Xinzhai now, after all, you are my father-in-law's apprentice, and I have a brother and sister friendship with my fiancée, so I would like to invite you to come to our engagement ceremony at that time, and I also hope to get your blessing. This is also what Min Min meant, I hope you don't shirk!"

Tang Xin took the invitation, took a closer look, and saw that the invitation was very exquisite, the top was the four big words "Joy of Engagement", the left was "Mr. Dai Xiaojun, Miss Huang Min" two lines of payment, and the right was the time and place of the engagement ceremony.

When he saw the words "Miss Huang Min", Tang Xin only felt a tingling in his heart, and couldn't help but glance at the other side again, was silent for a moment, and said to Dai Xiaojun: "Mr. Dai, I can participate in your engagement ceremony." Before you can do that, though, you have to make a promise. ”

Dai Xiaojun said stupidly: "What promise? I don't remember any promise to you." ”

Tang Xin snorted and said: "When I bought Dexin Zhai a few days ago, you said that if I bought Dexin Zhai for 16 million, I would drill three laps from my crotch, and it was only two or three days of work, did you forget?

Dai Xiaojun's face suddenly turned the color of pig liver, and he sneered and said, "Tang Xin, don't use these words to squeeze me." I understand your little thoughts: you still don't give up on Minmin, so your heart is full of envy, jealousy and hatred, and you don't want to or dare to go to the engagement ceremony. Anyway, my meaning has already arrived, it's up to you to decide whether to go or not, anyway, the leg is born on your foot, and I can't force you to participate, right?

Then he turned and walked away.

Tang Xin stared at his back hatefully and disappeared around the corner, and suddenly pinched the invitation card with his fingers and tore it to pieces with gritted teeth!

At this moment, Huang Jianli appeared at the door with two people. Take a closer look, the other two people are Gu Lisong and Wei Zhigu, who were drinking tea in the teahouse last night.

Tang Xin saw that Gu Lisong and Wei Zhigu were both holding a painting in their hands, and each of them was carrying a bulging backpack, and they didn't know what it contained.

As soon as he entered the door, Huang Jianli said happily: "Brother Tang, you still know President Gu and Secretary General Wei! They are all good friends of my brother." After you did my brother a great favor last night, he was very grateful and excited, and immediately called President Gu and Secretary General Wei to introduce your magical skills to them.

"After listening to my brother's introduction, President Gu and Secretary General Wei were very curious and interested, so they specially asked me to bring them to the store and try your magic first. If this is true, they also want to trouble you to verify the authenticity of some paintings, calligraphy and other antiques. You won't blame me for causing you trouble, will you?"

Tang Xin hurriedly smiled and said: "Where is it, Mr. Huang's friend is my friend, what's the trouble? ”

Gu Lisong was more anxious and upright, put the painting in his hand on the counter, and said: "Mr. Tang, when Chairman Huang called me last night, he praised you as rare in the sky and nothing in the world, almost like a god. To tell you the truth, Secretary-General Wei and I are half-convinced. However, Chairman Huang is a highly respected leader and never praises others easily, so we want to try your magic skills first, and I hope you don't be surprised. ”

Tang Xin hurriedly said: "President Gu, this little insect carving skill of the younger generation is indeed very unique and rare, if you don't see it with your own eyes, nine and a half out of ten people may not believe it." Therefore, it is understandable that you and Secretary-General Wei want to test this skill, and the younger generation will never dare to be surprised. ”

Gu Lisong saw that his words were humble and decent, and he kept calling himself a "junior", and his good impression of him spontaneously arose, and he nodded and said, "Okay." I heard Chairman Huang and Chairman Huang say that you can tell the origin and history of this object from an antique calligraphy and painting, and you can also tell all the information about this object.

"I have a painting here, please take a closer look at it and answer three questions: first, is this painting genuine or fake? second, who did I buy it from? third, how much did I pay for it?"

Tang Xin nodded, opened the painting, propped his palm on the screen, and pretended to be carefully observing the painting, but in fact, he was memorizing the information that was fed back to his mind through the ring.

After a few minutes, Tang Xin raised his head and said to Gu Lisong with a smile: "President Gu, the last two of the three questions you just asked are purely traps!"

Gu Lisong asked quietly: "How do you say this?"

"Your painting of Shi Tao's "Rain Hitting Basho" is indeed genuine. However, it is not something you bought, but an heirloom from your family of calligraphy and painting, which has been kept in your house since your ancestors, rarely shown to outsiders, and never placed on the counter of your shop. So I said, your second and third questions are just a trap to test me, right?"

After Gu Lisong heard what he said, he suddenly gave a thumbs up and said: "High, really high! No wonder Chairman Huang admires you so much, it turns out that you really have a few brushes, and I am convinced." ”

Wei Zhigu originally wanted to test Tang Xin with a painting, but when he accurately said the origin and authenticity of Gu Lisong's painting, he suddenly changed his mind, took out a Xuande furnace from his bag, handed it to Tang Xin, and said, "Mr. Tang, please show me this furnace, is it real or fake?" After you read it, please also give the answer to the three questions that President Gu asked just now. ”

Tang Xin took the Xuande furnace over, checked it in his hand, and couldn't help laughing in his heart: This Xuande furnace is the same as Su Mingxuan's, it is the imitation work of the counterfeiting master named Ai Zecheng, I didn't expect Wei Zhigu to have one in his hand, and he came to test himself!

So, he pretended to observe the characteristics of the furnace very carefully, such as the slurry and base, and then said with confidence: "Secretary General Wei, your Xuande furnace is a high-quality imitation, and it was imitated by a counterfeiting expert named Ai Zecheng using the 'lost wax method'. You bought this stove from a landmaker nicknamed 'Monkey' for half a million yuan. It wasn't until April of this year that you didn't know the stove was a high imitation, right?"
