In the past few days at the beginning of the year, Qin Fan slept all day until he woke up naturally, and then accompanied his parents to visit relatives and friends' houses for the New Year. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The idle days passed in a flash, and before I knew it, more than half a month had passed since the Spring Festival.

During this period, Qin Fan and Fang Xiaojun went to the provincial capital, and were introduced to entrust the decoration of the Guoshu Museum to an experienced professional decoration company. However, due to the Chinese New Year, the renovation workers have gone back to their hometowns, and they can only start work when the workers come back from vacation.

Qin Fan was not in a hurry, and looked at several classic decoration styles in that decoration company. This decoration company is a little famous in the provincial capital, and it has been doing decoration for a long time, and it has a good reputation in the industry. Many large shopping malls are designed by this decoration company, and Qin Fan is very satisfied with it professionally.

It's just that Fang Xiaojun didn't know how to decorate under the pretext that he made a hands-off shopkeeper, threw all the things to Qin Fan, and went to hook up with the little sister of the designer of the decoration company.

Fang Xiaojun's animal can't look at antiques, but his eyes are quite poisonous when he looks at his sister. The little sister of the designer is a talented girl who graduated from a famous university, and she is cute and cute, and she is the kind of small and fresh Japanese style, which is very likable.

Due to the long-term martial arts practice, Fang Xiaojun's figure is much better than those devil muscles in the gym, coupled with that not too cold face, somehow he captured the heart of the little beauty of the designer.

Qin Fan was very disgusted with Fang Xiaojun's behavior of emphasizing color and ignoring friends, and cursed him every time he pulled the designer beauty to open a room, he would meet someone else's aunt.

Fortunately, Fang Xiaojun didn't know how to read minds, otherwise he would have to fight with Qin Fan.

After negotiating the renovation project and paying a part of the deposit. Fang Xiaojun took the little designer named Lu Jiajia to play everywhere in the provincial capital, Qin Fan was not interested in making the light bulb, so he returned to Jiaocheng in advance.

As a result, as soon as Qin Fan returned to Jiaocheng, he received a call from the Dong family, and it seemed that things were quite urgent.

"Xiaofan, I heard Uncle Qin say that you know antiques very well, don't you?" Dong Wanrou's voice was a little haggard and nervous, which made Qin Fan worry all of a sudden.

"It's okay, Sister Wanrou, why are you asking this, is something happening?"

Dong Wanrou was silent for a moment before she said to Qin Fan, "It's my father, when our family went to the countryside to visit relatives, it seems that someone deceived us and returned a fake antique." Although I didn't have much money to be cheated of, my dad didn't eat or drink for the past few days, and my mom and I were about to die of worry. ”

"So, I want you to see if this antique is real or not, and if it's fake, it will make Dad die."

"Okay, I'll go over right away."

Qin Fan changed his clothes and went out to walk towards Dong's house against the wind and snow.

Due to the economic take-off of the republic after the reform and opening up, many ordinary people have money in hand, and many people are obsessed with collecting antiques, and millions or even tens of millions of Taobao troops have emerged, and President Dong is the most ordinary member of this million Taobao army.

Speaking of which, Principal Dong's play with collection has a certain relationship with Qin Fan.

Originally, Principal Dong didn't play much with collecting, but not long ago, when he was playing chess with Qin Xuedong, he heard Qin Xuedong inadvertently say that Qin Fan was tinkering with antique collections and made a lot of money.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

So Principal Dong kept this in mind, anyway, he was idle at home after retirement, so he found a lot of information about antiques, and read books there all day long, and went to the antique market to wander around and buy some small objects to play with.

Originally, this was nothing, but the worst thing was that he saw that Qin Fan, a junior who had just graduated from high school, could pick up leaks everywhere to make money, so he thought that it was easy to collect antiques, and he ended up buying a bunch of worthless fakes and came back.

Now Dong's mother quit, and threw away all the rags in front of his wife, and strictly forbade Principal Dong to collect antiques.

Although Principal Dong agreed, he was already fascinated by the charm of antique collection, and he fell deeper and deeper, often taking advantage of Dong's mother's inattention to go to the thrift market to Taobao shellfish.

However, Principal Dong was not confused, knowing that he was a novice and easy to be fooled, he only bought some cheap antique small pieces, and never touched large items such as porcelain or calligraphy, painting and bronzes, but he was also addicted to antique collection.

But it backfired, and when their family went to the countryside to visit relatives a few days ago, Principal Dong still fell into the pit.

It was not the first time Qin Fan had come to Dong's house, so he came over with a familiar way, shook off the wind and snow at the door and rang the doorbell.

It was Dong Wanrou who came out to open the door, and Qin Fan knew that this girl must have not slept well because of her father's affairs in the past few days, and the panda eyes came out.

"Sister Wanrou, how did you become a national treasure?" Qin Fan was taken aback by Dong Wanrou's haggard appearance, and suddenly felt a little distressed.

Dong Wanrou glanced at him, "Don't be poor, our family hasn't slept well for Dad's sake these days." ”

"Who's coming?" Hearing the doorbell, Principal Dong's voice came from inside the study.

"It's Xiaofan here, Dad."

Dong Wanrou turned around and shouted, without saying a word, grabbed Qin Fan's hand and led him into Principal Dong's calligraphy.

"Uncle Dong, I've come to see you."

Entering the study, Qin Fan saw at a glance that Principal Dong was wearing glasses and concentrating on studying the dirty copper incense burner in his hand that seemed to have just been dug out of the ground.

Seeing Qin Fan coming in, Principal Dong raised his head, but saw that his baby daughter was holding Qin Fan's hand, and his expression was stunned for a moment. In his impression, Dong Wanrou has always been very repulsive to men other than him, and will not take the initiative to hold men's hands.

Noticing Principal Dong's strange gaze, Dong Wanrou remembered that she was holding hands with Qin Fan, her pretty face turned red, and she hurriedly shook off Qin Fan's big hand. But he didn't expect Qin Fan to be reluctant to let go of his soft little hand, and he didn't shake it off all of a sudden, and suddenly glared at Qin Fan fiercely.

Qin Fan looked aggrieved, and his expression seemed to say that it was your hand that moved first, and the angry Dong Wanrou rolled her eyes and secretly pinched him.

Fortunately, Principal Dong didn't misunderstand the relationship between the two, after all, Dong Wanrou was older than Qin Fan, and he didn't think too much about it.

"Xiaofan, come over and help Uncle see if this Xuande furnace is genuine."

Xuande furnace?

Hearing these three words, Qin Fan's heart was shocked. There is no other reason, just because the name of Xuande furnace in the antique collecting industry is too big.

But when he took a closer look at the copper incense burner in Principal Dong's hand, he immediately had a bottom in his heart.

Although the Xuande furnace is very rare, Qin Fan has not had a chance to play with it. But with the copper incense burner in front of him, he could see at a glance that it was still 108,000 miles away from the Xuande furnace.

"Uncle Dong, let's not talk about whether your copper incense burner is a Xuande furnace, where did you buy this incense burner?"

"This copper incense burner happened to come across when I was visiting relatives in the countryside a few days ago."

Happened to come across?

Qin Fan smiled bitterly in his heart, Xuande furnace is rare in the world, how could it be so coincidental that Principal Dong met him in the countryside, someone must have deliberately set up a trap for him.

"If it's convenient, Uncle Dong, you can tell me in detail."

"It's a coincidence." Principal Dong said with a smile on his eyebrows, "A few days ago, our family went to the countryside to visit relatives and stayed for a few days. ”

"When I walked to the east end of the village, I saw a villager digging a fish pond, and I chatted with him when I was idle. Who knew that while chatting, the man suddenly dug out an iron lump from the mud. ”

Principal Dong said vividly, "At that time, I didn't know what this iron lump was, so I went home with that fellow and washed this thing, and after washing all the mud on it, I found that it was an incense burner." When I saw this copper incense burner, I thought it was a treasure. ”

"You said that it was a coincidence, that fellow didn't slap this copper incense burner flat when he went down with this shovel."

"And then?" As soon as Qin Fan heard it, he knew that something was wrong, Principal Dong was a fan of the authorities, and he didn't see the flaw at that time.

"Later, I carefully studied this copper incense burner and found that there was a model underneath."

As he spoke, Principal Dong turned over the copper incense burner, revealing the six-character paragraph of "Xuande Year System of the Ming Dynasty" underneath.

"When I saw this one at the bottom, I immediately remembered it. This copper incense burner may be the famous Xuande furnace. ”

"And how did you buy it?"

Principal Dong took a sip of water and said with a smile, "At that time, I wanted to buy this copper furnace, but the fellow refused, saying that he wanted to leave it to his son as an heirloom, and he would not sell it alive or dead." ”

"I can't help the old man, I grinded with him for two days, and finally the fellow saw that I was sincere and wanted to buy it, and sold it to me for 20,000 yuan."

After listening to Principal Dong's story, Dong Wanrou couldn't wait to ask, "Xiaofan, do you think this copper incense burner is a Xuande furnace?" ”

Qin Fan smiled bitterly, "Let's not talk about the authenticity of this copper incense burner, Uncle Dong have thought that without that fellow countryman, he doesn't understand antiques, why would he dare to give you a high price of 20,000 yuan." ”

Being asked by Qin Fan like this, Principal Dong was stunned for a moment. At this time, the average wage earner in the city was only a little more than 10,000 yuan a year, and the annual income in the countryside was only a few thousand yuan, and 20,000 yuan was a huge amount of money for them.

So the question is, that person doesn't know the value of antiques, why did he dare to offer Principal Dong a price of 20,000 yuan?

Unless behind this, someone taught him how to set up a bureau, how to dig a pit, and what price should be opened.
