One hundred and twelve, jade spit
As soon as I wanted to go to Hu's mansion to have a look, Boss Hu sent me an opportunity.
On the evening of the end of the fair, a small collection exchange meeting was held in Hufu. Boss Hu is very scheming, and at the end of the trade fair every year, he will hold such an exchange meeting, inviting people who have weight and good things in their hands.
The purpose is that everyone will flow the things in their hands reasonably again, and Boss Hu will have the opportunity to earn more high-quality products.
Young Master Hu, who was trying his best to please Liuxiang Weiwei, naturally sent the invitation to Liuxiang Weiwei early.
Yuan Ye said: "Since you are going to participate in other people's private collection exchange meetings, what collections do you bring to communicate with others?" You can't do it empty-handed, you guys play, I'm just here to see, and by the way, dismantle the table for the master. ”
Liuxiang Weiwei turned out a large box of things she had harvested at the trade fair these days and said: "These are all treasures I collected, I am really reluctant to show them them!" ”
Yuan Ye was incredulous: "Sister Wei, I really didn't see that you are so conceited!" Are you sure you're all good stuff? I remember that the bottle you bought only cost ten yuan, so the inferior porcelain may be the bottle of inferior liquor in the small distillery. ”
Liuxiang Weiwei smiled proudly: "You, what a layman!" In the past, when I was in the Lingering Fragrance Garden, I watched TV and said that now the whole people are engaged in collections, and it is not easy to pick up leaks. I didn't expect to really come to the secular world, as long as you have a vision, it's quite easy to pick up the leaks. ”
Seeing Liuxiang Weiwei's smug attitude, Yuan Ye couldn't help but laugh: "Don't be complacent, only you can't think of the level of fraud now, there is nothing you can't do, and the things you buy may be fake." ”
When participating in Boss Hu's private exchange meeting, Liuxiang Weiwei really took the inferior wine bottle, Yuan Ye was a little embarrassed for her, if she fought for the price, these collectors and jewelers in Liuli City may not be able to fight Liuxiang Weiwei, she was embarrassed to take a broken wine bottle to communicate with others!
Hu Mansion is in the north of Liuli City, it is the ancestral residence of a prefect of the Qing Dynasty to rebuild, and the whole Hu Mansion is an antique.
Young Master Hu first took the two of them to visit his family's house. A total of five into the yard. Also with two small gardens. In three years, the Qing Governor's Mansion had 100,000 snowflakes of silver, and now this house, I am afraid that I can't buy 100,000 snowflakes of silver.
The exchange meeting was held in the west wing of the second courtyard. This house looks from the outside and looks inside, and the decoration is antique. But the essence is quite modern, with floor heating under the floor, the cold winter outside and the warm spring inside. The Qing Governor's Mansion didn't enjoy it so much.
There are not many people who participate in private meetings, but they are all weighty people. People have just arrived. Someone couldn't wait to urge the master: "Boss Hu, what good things are there to take out this year and open our eyes?" ”
The other person said sourly: "Boss Hu even has a collection of Xiangyu now, what good things can't be taken out?" It's you, Lao Du, who have long said that you will give you a surprise today, what is it? Let's show it. ”
That Lao Du is the father of the second ancestor Haoqian, the director of the public security bureau of Liulicheng, and a collector and enthusiast. He smiled and groaned, "What are you panicking about? You have to let the master open everyone's eyes first. ”
Boss Hu coughed lightly and said, "Okay, then I'll throw bricks and lead the jade first." I'll show you a recent piece of stuff I caught. As he spoke, he waved his hand and let the subordinate carry him in.
After a short time, two subordinates carried a large piece covered with a red cloth and walked in cautiously.
"What a big piece! Lao Hu, what good things did you receive? Someone wondered.
Lao Hu didn't sell it, he directly lifted the red cloth, and a half-meter-high round tripod revealed his true face. Lao Hu smiled and solved everyone's doubts: "This is a treasure that I went to Greentown to collect a day ago, the alchemy furnace!" ”
Someone couldn't help but laugh, including the original leaf. This old Hu is really interesting, if he collects an alchemy furnace, could it be that he still wants to seek immortality through alchemy? It is said that mercury poisoning will eventually occur.
Lao Hu didn't care about other people's laughter. He explained with a smile: "I have also seen this Ding, and I think it was used by the Taoist alchemy in the Tang Dynasty." You can look at it casually and express different opinions at will. ”
A group of collector enthusiasts swarmed up. Surrounded the alchemy furnace, some touched and knocked, and some even took out a magnifying glass to observe. While watching, expressing opinions, arguing, and even arguing.
Haraha yawned and went to the chair in the corner to adjust to a comfortable sitting position. Fall asleep slowly.
As for how Liuxiang Weiwei convinced these connoisseurs that the broken bottle she bought at a cost of ten yuan was the alchemist of the Tang Dynasty who filled the pill bottle, so that Boss Hu paid a lot of money to buy it and match it with the alchemy furnace; How to judge Director Du's baby as a fake still made everyone believe it...... None of these original leaves are known.
When she opened her sleepy eyes, Liuxiang Weiwei was talking to Boss Hu about the fake Xiangyu.
Boss Hu said to Liuxiang Weiwei sincerely: "I, Hu someone, think that I have some collections, but I never accept fakes, and I am not afraid of ridicule from my colleagues." I implore Miss Yuan to help me identify the authenticity of that jade Guanyin fragrant jade. ”
Yuan Ye Xindao, I didn't see it, Sister Wei's level of flickering methods is really not low, and it has only been a while that these connoisseurs of the jewelry and jade antique business in Liuli City have a deep belief in her. Boss Hu actually took out his precious Xiangyu for her to identify.
Liuxiang Weiwei wanted to get away with it and said: "The identification of fragrant jade is no better than others, if it is true, it may destroy the entire jade piece." Boss Hu is knowledgeable and should not accept fakes. ”
Boss Hu said sincerely: "Seriously, thanks to everyone's promotion, although I am a little famous in the circle of Liuli City, I can see a way for other treasures, whether it is gold, silver and jade, antiques, calligraphy and painting, but only this fragrant jade is my shortcoming, so far I am not sure whether I have seen the real fragrant jade." Miss Hara, please. Saying that, Boss Hu formally bowed to Liuxiang Weiwei and bowed his hand, "If Miss Yuan can help me identify the authenticity of Xiangyu, I can promise you any conditions." ”
Liuxiang Weiwei hurriedly waved her hand and said in return: "Don't dare to be." ”
A Tibetan friend said to Liuxiang Weiwei: "Girl, Boss Hu has always been nitpicky about his collection, keep improving, and never allow fakes, if there are really fakes in his collection and don't know it, Boss Hu can't tolerate it, you should respect the old and love the young, and help Boss Hu, right?" ”
Boss Hu nodded in agreement.
Liuxiang Weiwei was sure that this Boss Hu was indeed pursuing treasures, not for the sake of face, so she nodded and agreed, and asked Boss Hu to take out the fragrant jade Guanyin.
Afraid that the people would not be able to sue for it, Boss Hu personally went to get the Jade Guanyin.
The things were taken and placed in the middle exhibition hall, and after everyone sighed again, Boss Hu asked Liuxiang Weiwei to help identify them.
Liuxiang Weiwei stepped forward and said, "Actually, there are many ways to identify Xiangyu. First of all, an easier way is to smell the smell. Each fragrant jade work is made by the fragrant jade master carefully blending spices, and the resulting aroma is very three-dimensional and constant. If the fragrant jade is not damaged, its smell will always be there, and you can still smell the constant taste of the beginning for hundreds of years and thousands of years. Boss Hu. Has there been any change in the fragrance of your piece of fragrant jade at the beginning and now? ”
Before Boss Hu could speak, Director Du said disdainfully: "Girl, are you holding it up?" Although we all know that fragrant jade is rare, it will not be as magical as you say, and the fragrance lasts for thousands of years? We all know that. Fragrance is stimulated by the volatile particles of things that emit fragrance, what kind of spice can volatilize for thousands of years, volatilization is inexhaustible? I'm afraid that a few tons of spices are not enough to volatilize, right? ”
Everyone nodded yes and looked at Liuxiang Weiwei questioningly.
Liuxiang Weiwei was not angry or annoyed, and said without hurrying: "This is the magic of Xiangyu, it does not use the spice particles when it is prepared to stimulate people's sense of smell, but will form a spiritual energy magnetic field circulation around it under the guidance of the Xiangyu pattern spiritual energy, and mobilize the flavor in the circulation for their own use, as long as the Xiangyu is not damaged." This cycle of psionic energy is always there, and the fragrance is always there. ”
Everyone listened to it and mysterious, but they didn't believe it, but Boss Hu said: "When I bought this piece of fragrant jade the year before last, the taste was indeed much stronger than now, and now we are standing nearby, and we can still smell the fragrance of lotus." I'm afraid no spice can make something impregnated last that long, right? ”
Liuxiang Weiwei continued: "The taste of fragrant jade is one of the ways to identify fragrant jade, and I will tell you the second method, looking at the carving. The carvings of the three major fragrant jade families are different, and this fragrant jade is a green lotus leaf pattern. Presumably, it should be fragrant jade, and the carving used in fragrant jade is naturally a fragrance technique. The fragrance technique is taken from the natural nature, the big place is comfortable, the small part is elegant, but every stroke is natural with the jade piece. The more skilled the jade master, the more he can't see the traces of carving, but he is unique in ingenuity. Everyone, please look at this jade carving Guanyin, the jade at the lotus platform was originally clearly aligned, if it is a fragrance technique, it will inevitably follow the trend. But the carving of this lotus platform obviously does not respect the jade material, and forcibly engraves his own ideas, without the resonance of the jade material, which seems to be rigid and chiseled. ”
Liuxiang Weiwei explained, and these enthusiasts frowned and thought about Yuguanyin.
Gradually, some people frowned, as if they could see the doorway.
Boss Hu stretched his brows and thanked Liuxiang Weiwei: "Listening to your words, it is better to read for ten years, the girl really has a unique vision, Hu is really taught today." I'm afraid that everyone here is also thinking in their hearts, there are people outside the sky, and what someone outside the world said is true. We usually call ourselves expert collectors, but there are still many shortcomings! ”
Many nodded approvingly.
Boss Hu said to Liuxiang Weiwei again: "As the girl said, my jade Guanyin is fake, but Hu still doesn't understand, how is the lotus leaf in this lotus platform fake?" Ask the girl for advice. ”
Liuxiang Weiwei said: "The real fragrant jade, as long as it is not damaged, the internal spiritual energy circulation of the jade piece is unimpeded, and the pattern has always existed, no matter whether it is soaked, eroded by chemical drugs, or burned, the pattern cannot be made to disappear, because the pattern is not the color at all, but the spiritual energy." And fake, the most likely is dyeing, you will know the truth after a try, please ask Boss Hu to prepare a pot of green tea. ”
Boss Hu hurriedly instructed his subordinates to make a large pot of green tea.
When the tea was almost brewed, Liuxiang Weiwei asked Boss Hu to soak the Jade Guanyin in green tea, and everyone watched the changes.
Time passed second by second, whether it was Jade Guanyin or green tea, there was no change, and before the patience of others passed, Yuan Ye fell asleep first.
Maybe two hours, maybe more, anyway, when she woke up, she smelled a foul smell in the house, or rather, she was awakened by the stench. And the collectors didn't seem to care about the stench at all, and they all crowded around the basin.
Yuan Ye is not as good as them to adapt to the smell, cover his nose and go out to breathe, although the air outside is not very good, but at least there is not such a strong stench, it is a little colder.
There were also a few people who couldn't stand the smell and went out to the east wing, and Yuan Ye also went there to rub the heat.
Over time, more and more people moved from the West Wing to the East Wing.
From the discussion of these people, Yuan Ye learned that Boss Hu's jade Guanyin finally appeared in its original form under the soaking of green tea in the middle of the night, and the lotus platform began to spit out the pulp, and what came out was black-green stinky water, and he changed a pot of green tea and continued to spit stinky water.
These people have been thinking about the truth that Xiangyu, who has been treasured by Boss Hu for two years, is actually a fake, some are gloating, some are incredible, and some are regretful.
After dawn, the jade Guanyin, who had been tossing all night, finally spit out the dirty water and turned into an ordinary white jade Guanyin, and the lotus leaves in the lotus platform suddenly disappeared.
Boss Hu's face was pale, in front of so many peers, he was deceived by his eyes, and it was strange that he was in a good mood, but he still expressed his gratitude to Liuxiang Weiwei for identifying the authenticity of Xiangyu Guanyin for him, and fulfilled his promise to let Liuxiang Weiwei replace the conditions.
Liuxiang Weiwei thought for a while and said, "I heard that Boss Hu has collected a Nanhua pearl, can you let me take a look?" ”
Without waiting for Boss Hu to react, Wang Zhaoran said: "Old Hu, you can't deny that you don't have it, you just told me a few days ago that you have a collection of Nanhua pearls." There's no way you're going to sell such a treasure, right? ”
In order to help Liuxiang Weiwei, Wang Zhaoran directly blocked the back road for Boss Hu not to admit that he had Nanhuazhu. Liuxiang Weiwei cast a grateful glance at him.
Boss Hu, who was already in a very bad mood, was stabbed in the back by Wang Zhaoran, and his mood was even worse, but he didn't have to shirk it, so he had to say to Liuxiang Weiwei: "Okay, you come with me." Then he said to the others, "Thank you for participating in Hu's exchange meeting, since the sky is dawning, you might as well make do and have some breakfast in the Humble House." This clearly means that you want to invite everyone to dinner, and the inner meaning is that everyone is not welcome to follow Liuxiang Weiwei and go to see Nanhuazhu.
Others were embarrassed to propose to see Nanhuazhu, but Yuan Ye didn't ask, and went straight to follow.
Boss Hu took them to the collection room of the fourth courtyard, opened the layers of protection, took out a box, and after opening it, it was the Nanhua pearl.
Liuxiang Weiwei suppressed the excitement in her heart: "Can you let me take a closer look?" ”
Boss Hu put the box on the table, and Liuxiang Weiwei approached and looked around the table carefully. (To be continued.) )
