Chapter 153: Fake!?
"Bai Yudie! Yun Xiu hurriedly took over this piece of white jade that was as transparent as snow, a round jade pendant with a diameter of no more than a square inch, and inside it was carved with two lifelike butterflies, dancing, very vivid.
Moreover, the workmanship is exquisite and well-preserved, and the fineness of the jade can also be excellent.
If it is a white butterfly jade from the middle of the Ming Dynasty, it is estimated that one piece must have a large starting point of hundreds of thousands!
Yun Xiu didn't expect Lin Qiao to mix so well now, and he gave himself a gift casually, all of which were hundreds of thousands of jade pendants.
"I said San'er, your gift is too valuable, I can't accept it. Yun Xiu thought about it and returned it to Lin Qiao.
"Old Man Yun, if you don't accept this piece of jade, then you will really slap me in the face. If I hadn't known you before, I guess I wouldn't have been able to mix it up, so what is this piece of jade for your kindness back then? Old Man Yun, you have to accept this piece of jade! To be exact, this is not jade, this is my friendship!" Lin Qiao said.
Having said that, Yun Xiu really couldn't think of any reason to excuse himself.
However, his words reminded Yun Xiu of a trip to the capital nearly ten years ago.
Ten years ago, Yun Xiu was already a big figure in the antique shop, and by chance, he needed to go to the capital and stay there for a while. For antique people, what they really enjoy is antiques, so he goes to the most famous Taobao market, antique city, and Panjiayuan in the capital as soon as he is free.
It was also at that time that I met Lin Qiao, who had just entered the antique shop, Lin Qiao had money in his hands, and wanted to buy some good collections in Panjiayuan, but he was deceived many times, and when a blue and white porcelain transaction with a transaction volume of almost more than seven million, Yun Xiu, who was observing on the side, secretly pointed at Lin Qiao, who avoided being deceived this time, and later Lin Qiao thought that Yun Xiu was kind to him, that is, to make friends, which is equivalent to saying that during those days in the capital, Lin Qiao followed Yun Xiu all day long, and the two had the feeling of being an apprentice.
It was also because Yun Xiu was not a guide during that time, Lin Qiao slowly entered the antique business, and then rented a shop in Panjiayuan, and later moved to Linzhou, it can be said that Yun Xiu is Lin Qiao's enlightenment teacher.
"Okay, then thank you San, tonight, Yangchun Pavilion, I'll please, it's a matter of picking up the wind and washing the dust for San'er!" Yun Xiu also said generously.
"Gotcha. Lin Qiao responded with a smile on his fists.
The two of them said, but Ning Xiaofan's eyes on the side were always focused on the white jade butterfly.
He felt that his eyes didn't know why, and when he looked at this piece of white jade butterfly, he felt a little reluctant to move away.
There seemed to be a faint electric current in his eyes, and suddenly, a golden light appeared in Ning Xiaofan's pupils, and then, his eyes seemed to have become several times, or even dozens of times, magnifying glasses, looking at the white jade butterfly.
In the end, it directly became a microscope, and it was directly able to see the texture of the white jade butterfly's surface that was difficult to see with the naked eye.
Then, like an X-ray, he directly penetrated the white jade, and saw the jade structure inside the white jade, and even at every nanometer distance, he could see all of his pupils.
Suddenly, there was an amazing scene in front of his eyes, it seemed to go back to ancient times, in a thatched house, that person had a bald forehead and a long braid with a Qing Dynasty logo on the back of his head, he was polishing a piece of jade with a knife and scraping, and the prototype of this jade was actually the white jade butterfly that Yun Xiu had just held!
Now the man has carved into one side, the other side is carving, and soon, the other side is also carved, but the man did not directly unite the two, but on one side of the butterfly recited, engraved 'Fang Chengzi system' four tiny ant words, carved after carving, even the other half of the jade, and merged it into one.
In the end, what was presented was the white jade butterfly that Yun Xiu was holding now!
"Brother Ning, what's wrong with you?"
Yun Xiu found that this Ning Xiaofan was actually staring at Bai Yudie, and couldn't help but think in his heart, could it be that this Bai Yudie was seen by this guy?
"Ah, it's okay, I was a little distracted just now. Excuse me. Ning Xiaofan nodded slightly towards the two of them and said apologetically.
"Brother Ning, do you want to see this white jade butterfly that San'er just sent, why don't you take a look?" Yun Xiu said with a smile, don't be ready to hand the jade to Ning Xiaofan.
At this time, Lin Qiao also said: "Yes, I just heard that Old Man Yun said that Brother Ning has a unique vision, and I also want to hear what Brother Ning thinks of this white jade butterfly?"
Ning Xiaofan took the white jade butterfly embarrassedly: "I'm just a chick in an antique shop, I really don't have any opinions." But I have a question, third brother, where did you come from, this white jade butterfly?"
Lin Qiao didn't expect Ning Xiaofan to suddenly ask such a question: "I bought it at a small trade fair in Linzhou, to be exact, I took it." ”
Ning Xiaofan nodded, and then put the white jade butterfly's hands in the center of the box.
He said: "Two, in fact, I really don't know much about the antique business, I still want to ask another question, have you heard of Fang Chengzi?"
"Fang Chengzi?"
The two questions in a row were a bit unrelated, but Yun Xiu and Lin Qiao still answered seriously.
Yun Xiu said: "Fang Chengzi has naturally heard of it, this is a ghost talent in the antique shop of the Qing Dynasty, he was a master of treasure connoisseurship of antique luggage in the early stage, but later because of his outstanding ability to repair antiques by hand, he began to make high-end imitations himself, so as to confuse the real with the fake." It's just that his imitation is so much like the real thing that because he bought a lot of money, he has accumulated a lot of property for himself. Of course, there are not a few people who have been deceived by him. ”
In the early stage, he was a well-known treasure connoisseur, and the books he wrote about the identification of antiques have been regarded as classics by insiders. However, because of the greed for glory and wealth in the second half of the life, a large number of imitations were made, which were also criticized by later generations. However, there is one thing to say, his imitation can be described as extremely sophisticated, assuming that two identical jade pots are placed in front of you, one is real and one is fake, if you don't have a particularly unique vision, you can't tell which one is real and which one is imitated by him. ”
"I'm not afraid of Brother Ning's jokes, at my current level, for the works imitated by Fang Chengzi in later generations, I also have to make a full twelve points of spirit and full strength, so that it is possible not to be deceived, it is conceivable how high the simulation degree of his fakes is! ”
Lin Qiao smiled on the side: "Old Man Yun is modest, with your strength to distinguish Fang Chengzi's works, it is still not a big problem." ”
Yun Xiu shook his head with a wry smile, and immediately looked at Ning Xiaofan: "Brother Ning, why did you suddenly ask this question." ”
