Chapter 70: Jealousy

Seeing the third uncle walk in, Meng Tongde hurriedly walked up and said, "Third uncle, you tell me the truth, whether those things are real or not." ”

The third uncle's face froze, and he said with a smile: "Why do you think so." ”

Zhao Yang stood quietly and watched, and when he saw that he didn't want to admit it, he stood up directly, and said with a smile: "I am Zhao Yang, a friend of Meng Tongde." ”

The third uncle looked Zhao Yang up and down, then stretched out his hand and said, "My name is Lin Zhinian." ”

When the palms of the two people touched together, Zhao Yang's eyes instantly narrowed, and he could feel the calluses on the palms of Lin Zhinian, which ordinary people would not have in this position, because the position of the palms could hardly borrow any strength.

But there is a kind of person who will often use the palm of his hand against things, that is, jade cutters, different from modern carvers, they have electric drills and other tools to help assist, people in the past wanted to carve jade, that is really carved out with a carving knife little by little, so it is normal for the hands to be full of calluses.

And this Lin Zhinian is not only under his hands, but also on the belly of his fingers and the sides of his fingers are basically calluses, which shows that Lin Zhinian still uses traditional techniques to carve jade for so many years.

In any case, people with this kind of craftsman spirit are worthy of admiration, but why, did he deceive Meng Tongde.

"Third uncle, you tell me, is this thing real? Meng Tongde was obviously more worried that his third uncle had deceived him.

Of course, he hoped that his third uncle didn't lie to himself, but he was not a fool, Zhao Yang gave himself so many reminders, he had already reacted to it somewhat.

"Huh. Lin Zhinian laughed dryly and said, "Where did you hear this, why did I lie to you?"

"I said it. Zhao Yang stood up directly and said, "I told him that you were lying to him." ”

Lin Zhinian was immediately annoyed, and he said directly: "What do you young people know? How can these things be fake?"

But Zhao Yang said that no one in the Ming Dynasty produced this kind of jade net bottle at all. Meng Tongde was still a little puzzled at this time, first, he didn't believe that the master who brought him into the industry would actually deceive him, and second, he didn't believe that he would be deceived by such a low-level reason.

Lin Zhinian said directly: "This is a professional historical research, this jade was unearthed in Huaichun City, Jiangning Province, I don't believe you look at the news." ”

Zhao Yang just looked at it with his eyes, and knew that what he said was true or false, and he replied directly: "I have seen the news, and it was found out to be false afterwards, and it was later called true, in short, there are many suspicious points, and it is not recognized by the antique world, and even the so-called origin of your jade bottle is half-true, let alone the bottle." ”

"The bottle must be real, don't believe you take a closer look at the texture of this jade. Lin Zhinian suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "This kind of material, imitation products will definitely not be used, right?"

Zhao Yang smiled and nodded: "Of course I won't use it, because this is not an imitation at all." ”

Meng Tongde was a little confused, and he said suspiciously: "But Zhao Yang, didn't you say that it was an imitation at this time?"

Zhao Yang said indifferently: "I have never said this, because this bottle does not exist in history, so its original version, that is, the original version, should be from you, right?"

Lin Zhinian was stunned for a moment, without words, but his expression could already see his depression.

Zhao Yang then said: "It was originally a self-created thing, of course I am willing to use materials, I think you should have put this bottle for seven or eight years, it is estimated that you caused the bottle, but no one wanted it, and it was snubbed?"

Lin Zhinian finally couldn't hold back at this time, he said angrily: "That group of rich second generations don't know what art is at all, they buy antiques purely only by looking at the year, from which dynasty, car by car to buy back those ancient urinals, broken dishes, but in the face of the works of those of us who love art, they turn a blind eye." ”

Zhao Yang sighed in his heart, he could see that these so-called imitations were all from Lin Zhinian's hands, as long as people who knew antiques could see his authenticity at a glance, but they would all be impressed by his exquisite skills and almost perfect skills.

It can only be said that this person was born in the wrong era, if he was in the Tang Dynasty, maybe it would be his works that have been handed down to this day.

Nowadays, people pay more attention to the value of antiques, rather than the antiques themselves, a beautifully carved dragon red lacquered wooden plate, obviously more beautiful than those broken plates, but they still like the latter.

But these people are a minority after all, more antique lovers, like the sense of history brought by the antiques themselves, holding them in their hands as if they were in that era, which can not be replaced by modern crafts.

It's a pity that Lin Zhinian has never met such a person.

"That's why you lied to your apprentice?" Zhao Yang looked at him indifferently.

Lin Zhinian said abruptly: "They don't deserve it, I didn't want to lie to him back then, I just wanted to try to see how much he cared about antiques, I didn't expect a screen that was fake like that, and it was actually regarded by him as genuine, so I knew that he just loved the name of antiques." ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yang finally understood the reason why Lin Zhinian was obviously copied so fake, but it was still not discovered.

There are only two kinds of people who can see Lin Zhinian's works, one is the rich second generation who doesn't understand antiques, when they see the things in Meng Tongde's house, because they don't understand it at all, plus this thing is well-made, they basically can't see where it is fake.

The second type of person is the real antique master, but this kind of person is very tolerant and cherishing talents, when they see the fake antiques made by Lin Zhinian, they will not be disgusted at all, but a kind of admiration and appreciation.

Because Lin Zhinian did not imitate any of the antiques that exist today, but only made the appearance of the 'antique' in his heart, there is no question of fakes, so those human rights should be the hobby of Meng Tongde, and he deliberately collects this modern handicraft.

If it weren't for Meng Tongshu, who didn't seem to understand antiques, this Meng Tongde might still be kept in the dark.

Meng Tongde's face was embarrassed, and he said directly: "Master, how can you think of me like this!"

Lin Zhinian smiled and said coldly: "You are just a copy of them, they are all people who don't understand antiques and want to make money with antiques." ”

"Other people don't understand antiques, I don't know why, but Meng Tongde doesn't understand antiques, it's entirely your responsibility. Zhao Yang said coldly: "He obviously wanted to understand antiques, but you were disappointed in him from the beginning, and then instilled him with wrong knowledge, do you really think that he bought antiques from you because he didn't understand?"

"Isn't it?" Lin Zhinian looked at Zhao Yang coldly, looking like he wanted to eat Zhao Yang.

"Nope. Zhao Yang said indifferently: "He believes in you." ”

"Rain, dew, and the sun raise turquoise, these are all you taught him, although it is only dispensable knowledge, but he has done it, and you will see the strange stones that fill a yard, this so-called Li Bai screen, as long as you check the information, you can know the truth or falsehood, do you think he is really stupid! He chose to believe you like this. ”

Lin Zhinian's expression was gloomy, as if he was thinking about something.

"Everything you do is not taking advantage of his greed, but his trust. Zhao Yang rubbed the muscles of his shoulders, stretched his waist and said, "Meng Tongde, report to warn you of the teacher's fraud, don't forget." ”

Meng Tongde didn't reply from beginning to end, but looked directly at his teacher.

Lin Zhinian fell to the ground with a thud, as if he was a mess of mud.

After that, he turned around and left, and Meng Tongshu, who had been waiting for a long time, hurriedly greeted him and asked, "If you really call the police, will he be sentenced?"

"Absolutely. Zhao Yang said calmly: "But I don't think your brother will call the police." ”

Meng Tongshu followed two steps and asked more curiously, "Then what you just said, is it true?"

Zhao Yang suddenly grinned: "How do I know if it's true, I'm not your brother, and I don't have divine eyes, how can I know what he thinks in his heart." ”

"Then is my brother really being used so badly because he believes in him?" Meng Tongshu blinked and looked at Zhao Yang.

Zhao Yang stopped directly in place, shook his head and said, "No, I made it up, he is really stupid." ”

can be deceived by someone in such a low-level way, don't say anything to believe or not, Meng Tongde is really stupid, or the kind of stupidity who has to help people pay money after being sold.

Meng Tongshu's face was full of black lines, and he didn't ask, pushed Zhao Yang and left the living room.

After that, Zhao Yang didn't ask about it, although Meng Tongshu helped her brother figure out the scam, but she was not happy at all.

Zhao Yang simply had nothing to do, and at the invitation of Meng Tongshu, he accompanied her to dinner.

At the same time, Xie Xiaolong, who had made up for sleep, was ready to go to the casino at this time, taking the three antique plates that Zhao Yang gave him.

In the casino, he really met Xu Sande again, the other party estimated that he had been waiting for him for a long time, and when he saw that he had finally arrived, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Brother, I've been waiting for you for too long, let's go?"

Xie Xiaolong looked very calm and nodded slightly.

The reason why Xu Sande was so polite to Xie Xiaolong was mainly because Xie Xiaolong was his only cash cow, and he had to lose hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to him almost every day when he came here.

What's more, no matter where Xie Xiaolong wins the money, he will lose it in his hands in the end, which makes Xu Sande think that Xie Xiaolong did it on purpose.

"Let's not talk about gambling or not. Xie Xiaolong stood up straight and handed the box in his arms to Xu Sande's. "We're friends, I'll bring you a few gifts today, let's take a look. ”
