Chapter 517: Final (I)
Seeing that Zheng Anzhi and Xia Kaisheng were about to fight, Hua Lao, who was sitting next to Xia Kaisheng, said: "I said that the two of you, you have been fighting for so many years, can't you still see it, besides, if there is something we can solve in private, it will not affect it here." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Xia Kaisheng snorted coldly, and then said to the old man: "Lao Wan, listen to what you mean, it seems that you still wish we had a fight, right?"
Wan Lao looked at Xia Kaisheng and said: "Lao Xia, it's not me who said you, you just like to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, I let you solve it privately, just to let you fight?" ”
At this time, Hua Lao, who was sitting on the left side of Zheng Anzhi, spoke: "Okay, let's not say a word, there are juniors watching, you are not ashamed, I am still ashamed!"
Seeing that there were already players looking at him, the old people didn't fight, but this was just from light to dark, as long as there was a chance, Zheng Anzhi and Xia Kaisheng would definitely have to fight for the level.
At one o'clock, the staff walked up to Hua Lao and said, "Hua Lao, the players have arrived." ”
Hua Lao looked at the other three, and the three old men nodded one after another, and he said, "Then let's start." ”
At this time, the person in charge stood on the rostrum and said to the players: "Okay, you should all know the rules, now I will roll the name, and the name will take a step forward and prepare to start the appraisal." ”
When Meng Zitao and the others came in just now, a staff member gave them a copy of the information, which wrote the rules of the game.
The competition is divided into two stages, both of which are to identify antiques, the first is to select a fake from five pieces of five plays, and then record it, and if the result is correct, then explain the reason for the choice.
As for the content of the second stage of the competition, it is not mentioned in the information, and it is not known whether it is due to confidentiality or other reasons.
The person in charge then read out the list in his hand: "First, Meng Zitao ......"
The person in charge read the names of six people in a row, which was the top six in the preliminary round.
"The six of you are ready to be appraised, and now there are five antiques on the table on the left hand side in front of me, and you go forward in turn to look at it and make a judgment, first write down on the paper which thing is genuine, which one is a fake, and then tell your reasons when the judgment is correct. Considering that these items are not in the same category, I will give you a hint that at least two of them are fakes, okay, Mencius Tao will start with you, remember, you only have three minutes at most. ”
Meng Zitao nodded, then walked to the table, signaled to the staff that it was okay to start, then put on gloves, picked up the first thing on the left and began to identify.
There are five things on the table, namely a jade ornament, a paper fan of Chen Hongshou's book "Poetry Banknote", a Tang Dynasty sea beast grape mirror, a Jiajing blue and white eight immortal gourd bottle, and a bamboo statue of Dharma in the early Qing Dynasty.
Meng Zitao didn't use the ability at the beginning, because he also wanted to test himself from the north, and after more than two minutes of identification, he recognized that there was something wrong with the gourd bottle and the statue, and the result given by the ability was exactly that.
The result of the ability made Meng Zitao very happy, before this, he was somewhat unsure of his true strength, and today it seems that his own strength should at least reach the level of an expert.
Meng Zitao filled in the list of conclusions and handed it to the staff, and then changed it to Jiang Haoyan for identification.
Xia Kaisheng said with a smile: "Lao Zheng, do we want to make a bet?"
Zheng Anzhi looked at Xia Kaisheng and knew what Xia Kaisheng was thinking, but he had a lot of confidence in Meng Zitao, and he was not worried about losing the bet, so he said, "What do you want to bet on?"
Xia Kaisheng said with a smile: "Little bet Yiqing, let's bet on whether your apprentice is ranked higher or my apprentice is higher, if I win, you can give me your wrong Guangxu ingot, if I lose, then I will give you a thing of the same value, okay?"
Metal coinage goes through three links: design, mold making and casting, and the so-called wrong coins refer to coins that are wrong in design, mold making or plate making. Once this kind of wrong version of the currency is discovered, most of them are explicitly ordered by the relevant government departments to be withdrawn and destroyed, but there are often a small number of "fish that slip through the net" into the society, and there are also cases where they cannot be recovered after issuance. These misprints have become highly sought-after treasures and are therefore highly sought after by numismatic collectors.
A Guangxu ingots in Zheng Anzhi's hand is a wrong coin, and it is also a unique product, and now the market value is at least two or three million.
Therefore, Zheng Anzhi listened to Xia Kaisheng's words and showed a sarcastic smile: "It's a good bet, but I bet." ”
Xia Kaisheng smiled: "Then let's decide." ”
Twenty minutes later, in a tense atmosphere, the person in charge said: "Okay, then Hua Lao will announce the answer." ”
Hua Lao stood up, cleared his throat, and said with some meaning: "Speaking of which, you can be regarded as the leader of the younger generation in our industry, but the result disappointed me, I want to tell you that among these five pieces, only one is a fake, that is, the bamboo carving Dharma statue in the early Qing Dynasty, and only Jiang Haoyan answered correctly!"
"Ahh
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar at the scene, you must know that the person in charge just now clearly said that there are at least two fakes in the things, and now it seems that it is just a set for the players, and it is completely annoying.
At the same time, Meng Zitao frowned, if his eyesight would be wrong, but how could the result given by the ability be wrong, there must be something wrong with this.
Meng Zitao raised his head, and noticed that Jiang Haoyan was looking at him with a sneering gaze, he glanced back coldly, and then in the eyes of the people around him, he walked to the table, picked up the gourd bottle again, and looked at it slightly.
Then, Meng Zitao put down the gourd bottle and raised his right hand: "Hua Lao, I think there may be some misunderstanding in it." ”
"Oh, what's the misunderstanding?" Hua Lao looked at Zheng Anzhi, and then asked quietly.
Meng Zitao replied: "I think that this gourd bottle is a fake, and there is no doubt about it. ”
"Oh, can you give your opinion?" a smile spread across Hua Lao's face, and if anyone who knew him well, he knew that it was a sign that he was about to get angry.
"Then I'll just say a few points, if there is anything wrong, please correct the seniors. In the final analysis, the fundamental method of identifying ancient porcelain is mainly trace science, and there are two main traces to pay attention to, one is the process trace, and the other is the aesthetic trace. ”
Among them, the traces of craftsmanship are how to draw blanks, how to batch, etc., each era generally has the characteristics of each era, such as the special requirements for porcelain, including the use of requirements and aesthetic requirements, must leave their own unique traces. ”
For example, taking the official kilns of the Ming and Qing dynasties as an example, Chenghua, Jiajing, Kangxi, and Qianlong all have their own hobbies. For example, Chenghua's preference for Baizitu because of Panzi, Jiajing's worship of Taoism, Kangxi's favor for Rongma Shengyuan, etc., these are all things that treasure connoisseurs must be familiar with, and it is impossible to have a situation of Zhang Guan and Li Dai. ”
"Let's take a look at this gourd bottle, there is no problem in all aspects, the theme is the Eight Immortals, which is also the theme that Jiajing likes, but the maker does not have much understanding of the image of the Eight Immortals at that time, and the image of our modern Eight Immortals is hard to move. ”
"Don't say anything else, there is a problem with the magic weapon in the hands of the Eight Immortals, our current Eight Immortals Lu Dongbin holds a sword, Han Xiangzi plays the flute, and Lan Caihe holds a flower basket, but in the Jiajing period, this image is not ......"
Mencius talked eloquently, analyzed this gourd bottle very thoroughly, and the questions he raised were indeed reasonable, and there was nothing to refute at all.
This result made Hua Lao on the stage a little embarrassed, but in addition to being embarrassed, he also felt that something was wrong, so he walked down directly from the stage and took a closer look at the gourd bottle.
"Yes, there is indeed a problem with this gourd bottle, but this gourd bottle was borrowed from a friend, it is obviously a genuine product, how did it become a fake?" Hua Lao looked at the person in charge with an angry face.
Just as everyone thought, the tip of the person in charge just now was indeed just to set up a maze array, so that the players had the illusion that there were at least two fakes among the five antiques, but in fact, only one was a fake.
However, the gourd bottle, which was clearly genuine, has now become a fake, which not only changes the original intention of the judges, but also has a deeper problem.
In this regard, it must be that the person in charge has a greater responsibility, and at this moment he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly arranged for the security personnel to investigate.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry that I made such a mistake and caused inconvenience to everyone. ”
The person in charge sincerely apologized to everyone, of course, this kind of thing is definitely impossible to just apologize and pass it so simply, but these are not the problems that Meng Zitao needs to think about, what they are most concerned about is the result of the game.
After this incident, the judges discussed it and decided to re-identify the authenticity of the antique, they started from the table on the left, and the results were not unexpected, and they were consistent with what Meng Zitao gave.
"Then I'll re-report the list, Meng Zitao, Yan Hongfei, Liang Yingning, the three of you all answered correctly. ”
In the end, Hua Lao glanced at Jiang Haoyan with some meaning. As for the reason, it is also simple, because if according to his understanding of Jiang Haoyan, he thinks that Jiang Haoyan can't see that there is a problem with the gourd bottle, so why would Jiang Haoyan give the answer that only one thing is a fake?
The reason is easy to guess, that is, Jiang Haoyan learned the result in advance.
Many people also thought of this, and for a while, their hearts were full of contempt for Jiang Haoyan and Xia Kaisheng.
At this time, Xia Kaisheng suddenly spoke: "I ask the organizing committee to investigate me. ”
Wan Lao said lightly: "You don't need to say anything about this, the organizing committee will also intervene, I hope you can do it yourself." (To be continued.) )
