Yu Yao thought for a while, "Although the opinions of experts are not unanimous, since some experts say that they are not true, if there are doubts, they should be investigated deeply." ”

"I see, you don't think it's true, do you?"

"The experts' opinions are not unanimous, uncle, it makes no sense for you to let me express your position!"

"No, I have a hunch! Xiao Yu, you are better than those experts in the museum!" Lao Xu stared at Yu Yao's eyes and said, "Just tell the truth!"

Yu Yao thought for a while, "I'm not optimistic. ”

"Go on. ”

"That's it!" Yu Yao got up, "Lao Xu, I don't want to buy this red sandalwood flat head case now, so let's leave." ”

"Do you want to buy it or is it too expensive?" Lao Xu also got up.

"The price you offered is not expensive, but it is not suitable for me. Yu Yao smiled, "This is a good thing, there will always be knowledgeable and rich people who will take a fancy to it." ”

"In other words, you will only pick up leaks!Sure enough, you are a master!" Lao Xu coughed twice, "I believe you, I don't want this plate." ”

"Lao Xu, that's your business. I'm not optimistic, and it may not have anything to do with whether it's true or not. Yu Yao waved his hand, "I'm really disturbing today, so I'm leaving." ”

After Yu Yao finished speaking, he walked quickly to the door.

When the two of them were talking, Lao Xu's wife never appeared, and he didn't know why he went.

Lao Xu hurriedly followed Yu Yao, and said at the door, "Selling goods and knowing the family, this flat case, I will let you have two big integers!"

"There's no need, if you make less money, I may not be satisfied. Yu Yao originally wanted to pick up a leak for 20,000, 800,000 was not suitable, and he also felt that it was inappropriate to let two large integers, 600,000.

In fact, as soon as Lao Xu said it, he regretted it a little, because this flat head case was a good thing, because the paint made the price, but 800,000 yuan was already his reserve price;

Yu Yao thought about it, it was nothing, and the old people all spoke, "Okay, Lao Xu." ”

The two left each other's phone calls, and Yu Yao immediately took his leave. Lao Xu was sent out of the hospital, and it was not until Yu Yao turned out of the alley that he turned around and entered the hospital and closed the door.

Yu Yao was really a little hungry, and after turning out of the alley, he went straight to the main road along the main road in the bungalow area, wanting to find a restaurant to eat quickly.

As soon as he walked to the intersection, the man with glasses came out and pretended to be surprised and said, "Huh?"

Yu Yao smiled, "You haven't left yet, I haven't bought it either." ”

"I'll just say it! what's the meaning of the lacquered thing!" the man in glasses grinned, "I haven't eaten either, I haven't eaten either, let's go, I'll invite you to eat mutton in the basin!

"How can I ask you to please?"

"You're welcome!

Yu Yao didn't shirk it anymore, when it comes to a meal, since the glasses man is playing with antiquity, he won't be worse than this.

The man with glasses was familiar with the road, and took Yu Yao to a restaurant and asked for a small private room.

The wine and food were ready, the man with glasses asked the waiter to close the door from the outside, first brought a glass of wine, and then beckoned to eat, and after a little cushioning, he couldn't help but ask, "Why do you want to buy that long table?"

"Didn't I buy it?" Yu Yao picked up a piece of mutton, "It tastes really good." ”

"I'm asking why you wanted to buy it in the first place. ”

Yu Yao swallowed a mouthful of meat, "Do you want to buy it?"

"Of course not. ”

"What if I told you it was a good thing?"

"Huh?"

Yu Yao put down his chopsticks and took out a cigarette, "I'm leaving anyway, and people really want to sell it." It depends on your tenacity to wait for me, so I'll tell you about it, it's not necessarily hardwood. ”

The man with glasses immediately picked up the lighter and lit it for Yu Yao, "Brother, my surname is Xu, my name is Xu Jun, what is your surname?"

"You are really destined, that old man is also surnamed Xu. Yu Yao said, "My surname is Yu, and I am one less Zwilling than you." ”

"Ouch, isn't this a coincidence? Isn't this a coincidence?" Xu Jun, the man with glasses, slapped the table, "Brother, are you saying that the long table must be hardwood?"

"That's not a table, that's a case, don't you like old furniture, you should know!"

"Yes, yes, yes, four feet are stuck in, it should be called a case······ Well, the two ends are not warped, flat heads, flat heads. I'm a little casual because I'm covered with paint. ”

"There are some places on the inside of the legs that have peeled off the paint, and this flat-headed case is red sandalwood. ”

"Rosewood?" Xu Jun was slightly stunned, "But the case ······ Could it be that it is also made of red sandalwood?"

"Do you know the '10,000 words' of the Old Summer Palace?" Yu Yao asked rhetorically.

When Xu Jun heard this, "I know! This can't be the one in the Old Summer Palace!"

"Of course not, I mean patterns!"

"Oh! Xu Jun patted his head, "I have read a lot of books on the style of classical furniture, history, identification, and consulted many experts, and I think I know a lot, but why can't I slip away when I see the real thing?"

This situation is very common in the antique circle.

Don't say that classical furniture is such a relatively large category, it is a small category, for example, only the blue and white ware in Qianlong porcelain, some people have seen a lot of materials, go to the museum and see the real thing, and also communicate with the masters, but a high imitation in front of him, he is still blind.

Not to mention that this rosewood flathead case is covered with paint.

The truth is actually very simple, the improvement of knowledge and vision requires a process of accumulation, and it is difficult to fully integrate the things that are forcibly integrated.

Yu Yao then talked about the situation in general, which can be regarded as a matchmaking by the way, which is not a bad thing for both parties.

Xu Jun scratched his ears and cheeks a little when he heard this, "According to what you say, it is indeed a good thing, but this is covered with paint, and it is difficult to remove it!"

"Since you like old furniture, you know a little bit of people in the industry, and finding a master to do this is nothing more than spending a little more money. Yu Yao responded.

"You eat first, I'll make a call. Xu Jun didn't shy away from Yu Yao, and sat in his seat and dialed it out.

After the phone was connected, Xu Jun was originally a master of asking about the ability to remove paint, but as he spoke, he seemed to change the subject, "What? really fake······?

Yu Yao didn't listen carefully, just ate and drank by himself.

After more than ten minutes, Xu Jun hung up the phone, "Brother, thank you, I'll talk to Lao Xu when I go back." ”

"You'd better get the paint done. ”

"Well, that's it. Xu Jun paused, "I just got a piece of news, let's talk about it at the dinner table, in the suburbs not far from Chang'an, there is a Tang tomb with four patios that has been stolen, and the relevant departments are jointly solving the case!"

"Four patios?" Yu Yao listened, "This specification is okay!"

The word patio generally refers to a courtyard, and in the case of tombs, it refers to a shaft-type tomb passage or space between a ramped tomb and a burial chamber.

In the tombs of the Tang Dynasty, the number of patios often indicates the rank of the tomb owner. The emperor's ninety-five honors are nine patios, the princes and princesses are mostly seven patios, and some concubines and princes are only five patios.

The four patios are generally court officials or prominent nobles, so the specifications are indeed not low.
