Chapter 503: Embroidered Dragon Pier
"I ......" Chu Xiong seemed to want to explain, but suddenly tilted his head and fainted.
Dizzy?
Xu Qiang smiled, as a clever doctor, he could see that Chu Xiong was not sick at all, how could he faint if he was not sick or sick?
It's clearly pretending to be dizzy to escape.
"Let's go, send Boss Chu to the hospital......" Xu Qiang knew that Chu Xiong was pretending to be dizzy, but the others didn't know, so he raised his hands and feet and rushed out in a swarm.
The Zigang jade in Ouyang's hands, they all forgot to take it back.
"Forget it, I'll ask when he comes back from the hospital!" Deputy Director Ouyang sighed.
In his opinion, Zigangyu is a clue, and if he can follow the vine, it is very likely that he will catch the thief who stole the museum and recover the stolen goods.
But now that Chu Xiong is dizzy, everything can only be postponed.
"Xu Qiang, do you have any arrangements next?" Deputy Curator Ouyang asked Xu Qiang while carefully putting away Zigangyu.
"Nope!"
"Since I didn't come with you without you, let's go inside and have a look......" Deputy Director Ouyang pointed to the hall not far away, and he told Xu Qiang that the best things were in the hall.
Those who set up stalls outside are not qualified to enter the hall.
With that, the two of them had already entered the hall.
"Ouyang, are you late today......" entered the hall and walked to the left, and met a group of seven or eight people, who seemed to be discussing something, and when they saw Deputy Director Ouyang coming, they immediately got out of the car to say hello.
"Actually, I came a long time ago, I took a turn outside, and I met an interesting child, come, Xu Qiang, let me introduce you to ......" Deputy Director Ouyang greeted Xu Qiang and introduced him to the seven or eight people in front of him.
said that Xu Qiang is a child, because the group of people in front of him are very old, and the youngest one is more than forty-five in Xu Qiang's opinion.
Compared with them, Xu Qiang, who is less than thirty years old, is really a child.
What's more, Xu Qiang looks much younger than his actual age, if you don't know his actual age, you will think that he is a hairy boy in his early twenties.
However, in fact, Xu Qiang is almost thirty years old.
After some introduction, everyone's topic returned to the topic they had just discussed, which was a pier placed on the ground in front of them, embroidered dragon pier.
Embroidered dragon pier, in simple and straightforward words, is the chair used by the royal family in the past feudal era, and it is a stool used to make it.
The owner of the embroidered dragon pier is an old man surnamed Lu in front of him, Lu Kuifeng, originally he had three embroidered dragon piers, two of which have been auctioned off by the auction house.
Only this one was returned, on the grounds that the authenticity was doubtful.
"Of the three embroidered dragon piers, only the height of this one does not match the other two, and it should be about one centimeter shorter......," Lu Kuifeng sighed and said.
About a centimeter shorter?
Xu Qiang's heart moved, there must be something wrong with being one centimeter shorter.
Embroidered dragon pier as a royal supplies, of course, excellence in production, if it is a complete set, the size requirements must be very strict.
Tall, short, fat and thin, must be basically the same, must be difficult to distinguish with the naked eye, the eyes are only one centimeter shorter, either not a set, or there is a problem.
"I'm sure it's just a set with the other two, but it's actually one centimeter shorter......," Lu Kuifeng said in great distress.
"Ouyang, you can take a look!" Lu Kuifeng said to Deputy Director Ouyang.
"Lao Lu, you know that I am only good at porcelain and Gu Leng weapon identification, and your embroidered dragon pier is a stone carving ......" Deputy Director Ouyang shook his head.
The embroidered dragon pier in front of you is carved out of stone, and there are some traces of wind and rain, which are obviously used in pavilions or some other outdoor venues.
"Don't be modest, I remember that you are also very good at stone carving!" Lu Kuifeng said with a smile.
"I can only help you take a look, I can't be sure!" Ouyang couldn't shirk it.
He crouched down, took a magnifying glass, and looked around for a quarter of an hour or so.
When Deputy Director Ouyang was watching, Xu Qiang was also looking carefully.
Xiulongdun is small up and down and large in the middle, it looks like the belly is bulging, and the surface is carved with a very exquisite dragon-shaped pattern, full of traces of time.
"As far as my personal opinion is concerned, I prefer a genuine product!" Deputy Director Ouyang read it and gave the answer he saw.
"Since you think it's genuine, how do you explain that the height is one centimeter less?" Lu Kuifeng asked Deputy Curator Ouyang, the only problem now is the height.
Deputy Curator Ouyang shook his head, he didn't have a clue.
"Xu Qiang, do you have any opinions?" Suddenly, Deputy Director Ouyang saw Xu Qiang and thought of Xu Qiang picking up the leaky fish intestine sword outside.
As soon as he thought of this, Deputy Director Ouyang was full of envy.
China's top ten famous divine soldiers, who doesn't want one?
The problem is that there are only ten pieces in total, and even if all of them are in the world, they can only be owned by a very small number of people, not to mention the ten pieces of ancient divine weapons, before the appearance of the fish intestine sword, there are only two in total, and they are all in the museum.
The only thing that is circulated in private possession outside is Xu Qiang's fish intestine sword.
Xu Qiang's ability to pick up the Leaky Fish Intestine Sword is enough to prove that Xu Qiang has a certain eyesight, but he doesn't know Xu Qiang and doesn't know what Xu Qiang is good at?
So he asked Xu Qiang tentatively to see if Xu Qiang could see it.
"You are all old-timers, and you eat more salt than I eat, you all agree on it, I have no opinion!" Xu Qiang shook his head and said.
If it doesn't benefit him to get involved, he doesn't want to participate.
"Young people have to dare to fight, although you can rest assured and boldly say, it doesn't have to be accurate, the key is that you have your own opinion, have your own opinion!" Looking at Xu Qiang's demeanor, Deputy Director Ouyang, who is an old fox, immediately judged that Xu Qiang must have seen something.
Not only did he see it, but everyone else saw it too.
"Do you really want to say it?"
"Of course!"
"Okay, I'll just talk about my opinion, I think the embroidered dragon pier is true, it's not true!" Xu Qiang thought about it for a while and decided to say.
"What does it mean to be true or not true?"
"Really, it means that the embroidered dragon pier in front of you is indeed the embroidered dragon pier used by the royal family of the Ming Dynasty, which is undeniable, and I believe that all the old-timers can also see it!" Xu Qiang continued.
"You don't need to say what we can see, you say something we don't see, say something new!"
"Then I'll say something new, and it's also what the old-timers are most concerned about, the height problem, just now the old-timers Lu has said, the height of this embroidered dragon pier is about one centimeter shorter than the others, right?" Xu Qiang gestured on the embroidered dragon pier.
Everyone nodded!
The key is the issue of height, but it has never been decided.
As long as the height issue is not understood, it is difficult to determine whether it is true or false.
Because the embroidered dragon pier is a royal item, it is not allowed to have any flaws, and the height difference is a very obvious flaw.
If it is sent to the emperor like this, I am afraid that the person in charge will be killed.
"My point of view is that the difference was caused later, when it was originally made, the size of the embroidered dragon pier must be the same, and the difference was artificially caused later!" Xu Qiang made up his mind.
When he gestured to the embroidered dragon pier to explain to everyone, he suddenly paused slightly, because he smelled a very faint smell.
At first, I thought it was coming from somewhere else, so I didn't pay much attention to it.
But soon Xu Qiang found out that it was not from elsewhere, but from the embroidered dragon pier, and it was continuous.
The stone itself is very ordinary, and it is impossible to have a taste, Xu Qiang thought while explaining, why does the embroidered dragon pier have a taste?
"How is it artificial, you explain!"
"Okay, you can see that the embroidered dragon pier in front of you, no matter the material or style, is destined to be used only in the open field, or in the pavilion, or in some other open field!" Xu Qiang pointed to the traces of wind and rain on the embroidered dragon pier.
Everyone nodded, agreeing with Xu Qiang's statement.
They're all connoisseurs, so of course you can see that.
"Since it is outdoors, it is inevitable that it will often be exposed to the wind and sun, and even bumps, and it is inevitable that there will be damage!"
Everyone nodded again, and what Xu Qiang said made sense.
"And this embroidered dragon pier, I guess it was damaged due to an accident, and the damage should be at the bottom, but the damage is not very big......," Xu Qiang continued.
"Impossible, we have already seen it just now, the bottom of the embroidered dragon pier is very complete, and there is no trace of repair!" someone immediately retorted.
Before Xu Qiang arrived, they had been watching for a long time.
Turn it over and look at it, and you can see everything clearly.
If there are really traces of repair, even if one or two people can't see it, it will not escape everyone's eyes, and it will definitely be seen.
"I know there's no trace of repair!"
"There is no repair, where are the traces of damage?"
"Please listen to me, old-timers, look at the style of the embroidered dragon pier, is it like an egg standing up, flattening the top and bottom?"
Everyone nodded, and the embroidered dragon pier carved in stone in front of them was indeed just like what Xu Qiang said, like an egg standing up, and then flattening up and down.
That is, the belly is big and the top and bottom are small.
"My speculation is that after the bottom was damaged, there was a stone carving master who came up with a way to cut the bottom into a centimeter-thick layer!" Xu Qiang said his speculation.
"If the bottom is cut to a centimeter thick, the pattern on the embroidered dragon pier will definitely be cut off a piece, but if you look at it now, the pattern of the embroidered dragon pier is complete!" Lu Kuifeng shook his head and said.
"Senior Lu, I want to ask you a question, is there any difference between the size of the bottom of this embroidered dragon pier and other embroidered dragon piers?"
"No, it's the same size!"
"That's right, the old dragon pier is like an egg, the two ends are small and the middle is large, if you add a layer from the bottom, the new bottom must be larger than the original bottom, that is to say, the bottom of the new embroidered dragon pier is thicker than the original bottom, so that you can grind off the pattern of the lower half of the embroidered dragon pier, compress the original pattern a little more, and re-carve it completely!"
Xu Qiang's point of view is very clear, the pattern is complete, but it is flattened a little, because the flattening amplitude is not large, and it is difficult to be detected.
It was also because it was difficult to be detected, so the bottom of the embroidered dragon pier was cut off a piece of one centimeter thick, and no one present except Xu Qiang thought of it.
After listening to Xu Qiang's words, everyone was silent.
Then squatted down, squatted around the embroidered dragon pier, and took a closer look.
"Lao Lu, do you have detailed data on the other two embroidered dragon piers?"
"Yes!" Lu Kuifeng quickly found out the data.
Then they took rulers and measured them on the embroidered piers.
Xu Qiang watched from the side, very indifferent.
"Why aren't you in a hurry at all?" asked Deputy Curator Ouyang with a smile.
"Why should I be in a hurry?"
"They're validating your guesses, aren't you worried about saying something wrong?"
Looking at the calm Xu Qiang, Deputy Director Ouyang sighed with emotion, they are really old, and they are about to be surpassed by young people!
