Next chapter

Magellan's intention to call Tang Dou is too obvious, it seems that he wants to use Tang Dou's shoulders, or rather, the shoulders of Beiyang and Nanzhou to climb to a higher height in the Chinese antique shop.

In this case, Tang Dou had no way to retreat, because he had provoked the matter first, and he ran to the preview hall of Sotheby's auction house, saying that the auction in front of the auction house was a fake imitation of sheep, which was a provocation first, and Magellan was just fighting back, and the weapon used between the two sides was the porcelain vase with red glaze that was now being laid out.

The only difference is that Tang Dou is not aimed at Magellan, but Magellan is targeting Tang Dou.

Tang Dou smiled at Magellan, but asked a topic that had nothing to do with the matter in front of him.

"Master Mai, I heard you're Italian?"

Magellan puffed up his chest proudly, looked at Tang Dou and said, "Not bad." ”

Tang Dou nodded: "I also heard that your great-grandfather Amici was once a colonel in the Italian army of the Eight-Nation Alliance?" ”

Magellan's expression stiffened suddenly, he knew that the Chinese hated the Eight-Power Alliance, but Tang Dou mentioned his great-grandfather at this time, what did it mean?

Magellan's great-grandfather Amici was the commander of the artillery unit in the Italian army of the Eight-Nation Alliance, although when the Eight-Nation Alliance caused trouble in China, Italy only symbolically sent 53 soldiers to participate in the coalition team, which was the smallest army in the Eight-Nation Coalition to endanger the Chinese people, but the artillery team in the Italian army played a decisive role in several battles.

And the most brilliant thing Amici did was not to help the Eight-Nation Coalition conquer how many strong fortresses in China, but after the Eight-Nation Coalition occupied Beijing, Amici followed the coalition forces to loot the Forbidden City, and afterwards slept on the Phoenix Bed of the Empress Dowager Cixi.

When he woke up, Amici felt that he was not satisfied, and used his dagger to carve an Italian sentence on Cixi's phoenix bed: voglioviolentarelimperat day evedovaii* (I want to force x Cixi)

Although this incident has not been recorded in the annals of history, there are many records in the history of various fields, which has become a joke between the great powers of various countries at that time, and has also become a shame engraved on the faces of the Chinese.

Magellan was speechless when faced with Tang Dou's inquiry at this time, knowing very well what his great-grandfather had done in China back then.

In front of so many Chinese, he did not know how to phrase and recognize himself as a great-grandfather.

Tang Dou sneered, ignored Magellan anymore, and turned to walk towards the red porcelain vase that had been placed on the display case.

Tang Dou knew that the ugly things that Magellan's great-grandfather had done had nothing to do with Magellan, but Tang Dou felt that after revealing this bottom, his heart became open, and there was no longer pressure.

The Chinese have a saying that the father pays the debt of the son, and since Magellan is calling for it today, let him pay off a little old debt for his great-grandfather first.

It's just that the two people who were talking and laughing and admiring each other just now stood on opposite sides in a blink of an eye, and this kind of transformation seems so blunt that it makes people feel a little awkward that they can't be explained.

When the onlookers heard that Magellan's ancestor was actually a colonel in the Eight-Nation Alliance, they couldn't help but whisper.

But apparently the Tibetans don't quite know what Magellan's great-grandfather Amici did, otherwise it wouldn't have been as peaceful as it is now.

Tang Dou walked to the front of the booth, Magellan had also calmed down, he stood behind Tang Dou with a smile and asked, "Mr. Tang, I don't know what tools you need to detect?" We still have a very complete set of testing tools here, and I can ask someone to bring them to you. ”

Tang Dou replied expressionlessly: "No, I have my own." ”

As he spoke, Tang Dou put the satchel in the corner of the display case away from the bottle, reached out and took out a ten-fold magnifying glass, a dentist mirror and a strong flashlight from the satchel and put them on the display case.

People didn't expect Tang Dou to come up with such a simple thing, these things are just the most common equipment in the antique shop, can it be said that you can use it to find out the logo of sheep imitation porcelain?

Tang Dou glanced at Xu Lele and asked, "Mr. Xu, if you don't mind, I'll get started." ”

Xu Lele smiled and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, he had absolute trust in Magellan's appraisal level, since Magellan marked a reserve price of 30 million yuan for this bottle, it means that this bottle could not be a fake anyway.

Bai Songnian's face was a little uncomfortable, to put it in his heart, in his heart, he admired the two predecessors of the antique shop of Beiyang and Nanzhou very much, but he was a rising star among many experts in the Palace Museum, and he was a young expert who was very optimistic about Guan Rongfei, and he also regarded Guan Rongfei as his own Bole, when he heard some things about Guan Rongfei and Qin Yang, for the sake of the future, he still chose to move closer to Guan Rongfei, and even for this reason, the relationship between him and Geng Lao, who has always been very respected, became estranged, for no other reason. Just because Geng Lao and Qin Yang had an irreversible relationship with the two families, he was afraid that Guan Rongfei would be hated by Guan Rongfei because he had a too close relationship with Geng Lao, thus ruining his future.

But at this time, Bai Songnian couldn't help but play a round from it, and he said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, Mr. Tang, you see that it's not too early now, everyone is tired for a day, why don't you find a suitable time tomorrow and ask Tang Dou to take a look at this bottle." ”

Bai Songnian is a delaying tactic, too many things can happen in one night, maybe tomorrow will be fine.

Xu Lele smiled slightly and did not speak, but looked at Tang Dou.

Tang Dou knew that Bai Songnian was for his own good, he smiled at Bai Songnian and said: "Thank you Mr. Bai for your concern, it's still early, I think if you don't figure out the matter of this bottle, I'm afraid everyone won't be able to sleep well tonight, rather than this, it's better to strike while the iron is hot." ”

Listening to the meaning of Tang Dou's words, Tang Dou is also full of confidence.

Bai Songnian smiled slightly and no longer persuaded him, for him, what he should have done has been done, as for whether people appreciate it or not, it is someone else's business.

Tang Dou nodded at Xu Lele again, this time he didn't grind anymore, he directly pulled out the elastic holster of the ten-fold magnifying glass and put it on his head, straightened the magnifying glass on his forehead, and reached out to take the red glazed porcelain bottle in his hand.

Feeling the familiar feeling coming from his hand, Tang Dou couldn't help but show a smile at the corner of his mouth, he was already sure that this was a fake sheep melamine.

Tang Dou stretched out his hand and pulled down the ten-fold magnifying glass on his forehead and put it on his eyes, and began to carefully observe the sacrificial red porcelain vase in his hand.

But all the porcelain such as bottles, pots, urns and jars will not be put on the surface of the sheep imitation mark, not to mention that the red sacrifice ware is a monochrome glaze without opening the porcelain, and there is no way to hide the sheep imitation mark on the surface, even if it is hidden in the glaze, as long as the reflective side of the porcelain is rotated slowly, there will always be some subtle changes on the glaze.

Guan Rongfei is a person who pursues perfection, and he will never leave such flaws.

Tang Dou just roughly rotated and looked at the glaze, and when he saw that there was nothing abnormal, he immediately turned the bottle upside down to check the bottom.

Tang Dou knew four or five ways to hide the sheep imitation logo in the bottom paragraph, but he just didn't know if Guan Rongfei dared to put the sheep imitation logo on the bottom paragraph.

Sure enough, the bottom paragraph was also normal, and there was no secret mark.

Tang Dou smiled slightly, it seems that Guan Rongfei is still quite careful in doing things, I am afraid that the sheep imitation logo of this bottle is the same as that firewood kiln bottle, and he is hidden in the belly of the bottle again. (To be continued.) )
