Chapter Twenty-Eight: Fake or Genuine
Lu Yuan sighed after hearing this, he really didn't expect that Zheng Tianliang would have such an experience.
But in any case, it is wrong to make trouble, and you can't pass on the harm to innocent people for no reason just because you have been hurt.
Just when Lu Yuan was persuading, Zheng Tianliang's phone rang, and after a few casual answers.
He hung up the phone and said in a hurry: "Brother Lu, can you help me go through the discharge procedures? I have to be discharged from the hospital urgently!"
Lu Yuan said with a serious face: "No, your injuries are not healed yet, and it is not appropriate to move around now!"
"But I really have something very important, and I'm in a hurry!"
Seeing that Zheng Tianliang didn't look like he was lying, Lu Yuan thought about it and had to agree: "Okay, you can be discharged from the hospital, but I have to accompany you." There is a doctor with you, so nothing will happen. ”
Zheng Tianliang was embarrassed at first, and he shirked Lu Yuan for a while, but in the end, he couldn't help it, so he had to agree ashamedly.
The two went through the discharge procedures and took a taxi to Beicheng Street, the largest antique street in Shanhai City.
There are not only large and small antique shops on the street, but also many stalls, and all kinds of antiques are even more varied, which is dizzying and dazzling, and the cries of selling are endless, and it is very lively.
Of course, the vast majority of those stalls are fake, and a very small number of them are really just to attract attention.
There has always been an unwritten rule in antique stalls, that is, after paying the money, whether you buy it real or fake, both parties have nothing to do with it.
Halfway through, Lu Yuan unexpectedly saw Jiang Zengnian, who was in front of an antique stall, holding a pot-bellied vase, bargaining with the vendor.
Zheng Tianliang pointed at Jiang Zengnian and sneered: "Brother Lu, have you seen the person in front of you, he is going to be pitted! That vase is obviously deliberately old, and the bottom and neck of the bottle are already colored."
Lu Yuan cast his eyes when he heard this, and sure enough, it was the same as what Zheng Tianliang said. And looking at Jiang Zengnian's appearance, it seems that he has decided to buy it.
After all, it was Jiang Ruoshui's father, and he couldn't watch his future father-in-law be fooled, so Lu Yuan walked forward quickly, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Uncle Jiang, don't worry, if I'm not mistaken, this should be a fake." ”
"How do you speak? I don't understand the rules at all, don't mess around?" was exposed, and the vendor pointed at Lu Yuan with a look of disgust and yelled, and his voice attracted many people around to watch.
Jiang Zengnian turned around and saw the pig that arched his daughter, and his anger instantly surged. I was on fire and wanted to come to the antique market to relax, but I didn't expect to meet this stinky boy again.
"Shut up, I don't need you to teach me!" he said in a deep voice with displeasure on his face. He has been playing antiques for more than 20 years, and at that time, Lu Yuan was not necessarily born, and he dared to point fingers at the antiques he was optimistic about?
The crowd laughed, after all, it is human nature to watch the excitement, and they are not afraid of making things big.
Jiang Zengnian is a face-saving person, and he doesn't feel very comfortable when he sees more and more onlookers gathering. He hurriedly transferred the money to the vendor owner and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, someone shouted: "Professor Chen is here!"
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers brushed their brushes and dodged a way, letting an old man with gray hair but very energetic come over.
Zheng Tianliang whispered to Lu Yuan: "He is Professor Chen Zongzhi of archaeology at Shuimu University, and he is a very authoritative expert in the antique world, and it is said that he has never missed a thing in his life!"
Professor Chen walked up to the vendor with a smile on his face, pointed to a rusty piece of iron and said, "Show me that." ”
The vendor's face, who was still very arrogant just now, twitched instantly, and reluctantly picked up the piece of iron, handed it to Professor Chen, and said, "Professor Chen, we have to obey the rules, just pick one!"
Professor Chen just smiled and did not answer, but looked at the vase in Jiang Zengnian's hand with interest.
"Brother, how much did you buy a vase?"
Jiang Zengnian respected Professor Chen very much, and did not dare to slack off, so he replied truthfully: "Professor Chen, I spent 520,000 yuan to buy it, what do you think?"
Professor Chen shook his head and said with a smile: "It's a pity, more than 500,000 yuan to buy a fake." ”
The expert's words made Jiang Zengnian's face change: "What do you mean?"
Professor Chen pointed to the vase and said:
"It was the celadon of the Jun kiln of the Song Dynasty imitated at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and it was imitated very well. Unfortunately, when glazing, the baking is uneven, resulting in a slight color difference between the mouth and bottom of the bottle. It is not easy to spot when you look closely, but it is very obvious from a distance. The flaw is too big, it is far from worth half a million, at most five thousand. ”
As soon as the words fell, the crowd laughed again, looking at Jiang Zengnian like a fool, which made him very faceless, and his mood dropped to the extreme.
However, Lu Yuan, who had been silent for a long time on the side, didn't think so, when he just looked at the vase from a distance, he really thought it was a fake. But after subconsciously observing with the Qi Technique, he was surprised to find that there was something else in the bottle.
He looked at the bottle outside, there was only a very light layer of cyan mist, but the cyan mist inside the bottle was very rich, and it was about to overflow from the mouth of the bottle.
Jiang Zengnian took the vase a little farther away, took a closer look, and saw that it was exactly the same as what Professor Chen said, thinking of buying such a thing for 500,000 yuan, he was immediately furious, and he was about to break the bottle when he lifted it.
Lu Yuan's eyes were quick, he snatched the bottle into his hand, and stopped: "Uncle Jiang, calm down, I want to congratulate you, you have made a lot of money today!"
What he said was sincere, but in Jiang Zengnian's ears, he felt very ridiculed, the vase he bought for more than 500,000 yuan was a fake, worth up to 5,000, and he also said that he made a lot of money?
"Okay, surnamed Lu, you are too deceitful!" Jiang Zengnian pointed to Lu Yuan, his angry lips trembling.
Lu Yuan hurriedly explained: "Uncle Jiang, you believe me, this vase is a good object, much more expensive than 500,000!"
This sentence instantly made the audience explode: "Where did the stinky boy come from, and he dared to speak out?"
"That's right, even if Professor Chen has made a conclusion, he still dares to refute it, he really doesn't know how thick the sky is!"
Professor Chen's face drooped, and others could not care about his personal attacks, but if anyone dared to question his professional level, it would definitely not be bearable.
He said coldly: "Young man, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"
Lu Yuan glanced at the bottle again, and after confirming that it was correct, he laughed and said: "Whether it's true or not, you will know at a glance, please take a look!"
As he spoke, he picked up the vase and gently slammed it against the stone with the top edge of the thickest part, and in an instant, the bottle split in half......
