Zhao Zhuo smiled and nodded, Jing Yao looked at him seriously, frowned and said, "What kind of luck did you have to be able to find this Ru kiln porcelain in that pile of fakes." ”

Zhao Zhuo smiled bitterly: "It's indeed a good thing to find it, but this is only the beginning." ”

"The beginning?" Jing Yao was puzzled.

Zhao Zhuo told him about the bet with Tong Dongyang, and Jing Yao snorted softly when he heard it: "I didn't expect this second young master of the Tong family to be such a person, for the sake of monetary profits, he has to damage the ancient cultural relics, does he know how difficult it is for these things to be passed down to the present?" ”

Zhao Zhuo bowed slightly, and said resolutely: "So, I must win this battle, now with this Ru kiln porcelain, I can rest assured that this scene in the Song Dynasty has not yet landed." ”

Jing Yao said: "Then I'll help you find it together, multiple people have more efforts." ”

Zhao Zhuo thanked him gratefully, at this time, it is true that the help of one more person has an extra chance of winning.

At three o'clock in the morning, Zhao Zhuo and Ji Xiaofan came to the ghost market, and the possibility that the jade appeared in the ghost market was very small, so Zhao Zhuo didn't put his mind on it when he came here.

There are only two purposes for coming here, one is to help Kong Xiangfeng get together the 12 zodiac signs, Kong Xiangfeng is old after all, and getting up at three o'clock in the morning to visit the ghost market is still a little choking for him, but fortunately, everything is done by Zhao Zhuo, which saves trouble.

The second is to see if you can find any porcelain, after all, there will be one less day before the time of the Dou Porcelain Festival, so you have to hurry up every day.

After coming to the ghost market for a long time, Zhao Zhuo is also familiar with the people here, which stall has more genuine products, which stall is all high imitation, which one likes to brag and make up stories, and which one likes to call others brothers.

In the antique industry, there are few friends and brothers who have such a relationship, don't look at people smiling and flattering you, a brother's, and you will be sold coldly.

Especially these stall owners, don't look at some of them dressed shabby, but those eyes are very poisonous, and you can see through at a glance whether the buyer is the gold owner, and that mouth is like a spring.

After visiting a few stalls, there were no good goods, Zhao Zhuo suddenly found that a few people had been following behind a middle-aged man, so he couldn't help but be a little curious, which stall this middle-aged man was squatting in, and after picking up something and looking at it, as long as he didn't buy it, those people would buy what he had just taken.

He couldn't help but ask Ji Xiaofan, Ji Xiaofan looked at the person, and then laughed and said: "That's Zhu Qing, the deputy director of the museum, he is a relative of our Ji family, and I am called uncle by generation." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the deputy curator." Zhao Zhuoxi said in surprise, "Then what are these people doing with him?" ”

Ji Xiaofan smiled and said: "In this ghost market, there is a kind of humanoid who wanders here all day long, but never buys things, but looks at people." ”

"Look at people?" Zhao Zhuo was puzzled.

Ji Xiaofan explained: "These people don't have enough eyesight, so they hit the idea on those who have good eyesight, such as Uncle Zhu, the deputy director of the dignified museum, and that eyesight is naturally needless to say." The probability of the things he can see is high that they are genuine, but the things that Uncle Zhu likes may not necessarily be bought, either because they are not high-quality enough, or because the price is too high. And for these, it is already good to be able to buy the real thing, so as soon as Uncle Zhu walks on the front foot, they will follow on the back foot, bargain hard, and buy that thing, and naturally they will make money. ”

Zhao Zhuo understood, and said with a smile: "These are smart. ”

Ji Xiaofan said with a smile: "I'll take Brother Zhao over to say hello first, but Uncle Zhu is a little stubborn, if you don't speak politely, you have to take care of it." ”

Zhao Zhuo nodded, in fact, he had been to the Baicheng Museum several times because of the matter of making up paintings, but because he had been busy recently, he went in a hurry every time, and he had never seen this deputy curator.

Ji Xiaofan walked over with Zhao Zhuo and shouted, Zhu Qing turned around, and when he saw that it was Ji Xiaofan, he was not surprised, but said lightly: "It turned out to be Xiaofan." ”

It was always the back just now, and he didn't see the front clearly, but at this time Zhao Zhuo saw Zhu Qing's appearance, in his forties, short hair, slightly chubby, wearing a blue plaid shirt, his chin was slightly raised, and he was accustomed to looking at people with a condescending attitude, and he had a bit of leadership demeanor.

Ji Xiaofan was obviously very accustomed to his tone, and introduced with a smile: "This is Zhao Zhuo, the one who recently came to the museum to make up the paintings." ”

Zhu Qing couldn't help frowning when he heard this, looked Zhao Zhuo up and down, and said, "You are Zhao Zhuo?" I thought the curator had asked me to redraw some great character, but it turned out to be a hairy boy. ”

Zhao Zhuo was not angry, and smiled slightly: "Let Deputy Curator Zhu see it." ”

Zhu Qing sneered and said, "Laughing? I'll tell you, I don't know how you coaxed the curator, but I've never heard of this repainting for most of my life, so you'd better have this skill, if you don't have ......."

Ji Xiaofan hurriedly started the round and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhu, you don't have to worry, Brother Zhao's handicraft was witnessed by Grandpa, and there will be no fake." ”

"There won't be fakes, that's the best." Zhu Qing took his hand, and then said to Ji Xiaofan, "Xiaofan, if you want to pick something, my uncle will give you a palm, so that you don't suffer again." ”

Ji Xiaofan couldn't help but look at Zhao Zhuo, Zhao Zhuo smiled and said: "With Deputy Director Zhu to help palm the eyes, of course it's the best, we want to pick a few pieces of porcelain." ”

"Oh, porcelain, the identification of this thing is simple, as long as you master the know-how of fetal, glaze, type, and work, it will be the best of the best." Zhu Qing said confidently, his eyes began to scan the stall, and he seemed to find that they were all fakes, so he laughed contemptuously and walked to another stall.

The two followed him, and Ji Xiaofan whispered: "Don't look at Uncle Zhu so arrogant, his eyes are also trained in the ghost market, and they can be described as fiery eyes." ”

Zhao Zhuo nodded, he didn't refuse to have someone to help take a look, after all, antiques, everyone has a time to look away, even if he and Mo Ling have a thousand abilities, it is impossible to distinguish everything from ugly at once.

After Zhu Qing walked a few stalls, he suddenly stopped, and when his eyes fell on an inconspicuous terracotta figurine, his pupils dilated suddenly.

Almost all at once, he crouched down and took the figurine in his hand.

Zhao Zhuo squinted his eyes and looked at the past, this is a music figurine, the figurine is combed in a flat bun, the back of the head is combed, the long skirt is tied in front of the head, the double belt is drooping, kneeling on the ground, holding a pipa in his hand, although his face is somewhat damaged, but his face can still be distinguished.

Roughly speaking, its shape and workmanship are quite ancient, and there seems to be a layer of stoneware on it.

Pottery, which is made of clay and has a rougher texture than porcelain, is divided into red pottery, gray pottery, painted pottery, white pottery, painted pottery, black pottery and glazed pottery.

This piece of rakuki figurines is glazed pottery, which has a layer of lime glaze on the surface, so the texture is smoother than ordinary rough pottery.

Zhu Qing looked at the music figurines in his hand very seriously, and Zhao Zhuo also squinted his eyes, this identification of ancient pottery, mainly from its origin, vessel type, pattern and production process, this music figurine has a very strong Sui Dynasty palace style, look at its bun type, clothing can be easily distinguished.

However, Zhao Zhuo did not make a final judgment on this pottery, because the pottery is rough, so it is more troublesome to distinguish it with the naked eye, and the feel is very important, and the two must be combined to make a judgment.

Seeing Zhu Qing holding the music figurine and looking carefully, several young people behind him also stared intently, just waiting for Zhu Qing to leave, and several people wanted to come up and bargain.

The stall owner of this stall is very raw, a man in his 30s, stout and stout, seeing Zhu Qing holding this music figurine, he lowered his voice and said: "Big brother, you know the goods too well, I have so many things on this stall, you can see this at a glance, this is the goods that just flowed out of Beixian, take a closer look, absolutely genuine!" ”

As soon as he heard the word Beixian, Zhu Qing's eyes lit up, but he remained silent and said lightly: "How much does this thing sell?" ”

"Fifty thousand!" The stall owner held out five fingers and said.

"Ten thousand." Zhu Qing said calmly.

The stall owner shook his head very directly and said: "I am a real person, don't tell lies, so let's do this business on the first day today, this is the first big goods, 40,000, no less!" ”

Zhu Qing said lightly: "Thirty thousand, that's it!" ”

Zhao Zhuo secretly said that this Zhu Qing is really a veteran of the connoisseur, just looking at this bargaining work is different, no matter what people say, they stick to their bottom line, if this Leki figurine is genuine, how many times will it be earned after buying it for 50,000 yuan.

Seeing Zhu Qing so insistent, the stall owner sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, okay, it's 30,000." ”

Zhu Qing took out three stacks of money from the briefcase he was carrying, and the stall owner took out a money detector.

After counting, Zhu Qing picked up the music figurine, and after facing away from the stall owner, he couldn't help laughing.

Seeing Zhu Qing smiling so happily, Ji Xiaofan couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Zhu, is this thing genuine?" ”

Zhu Qing said with a smile; "Did you know that a Sui Dynasty tomb was discovered in Beixian a while ago?"

"Seems to be the case." Ji Xiaofan said.

Zhu Qing said: "When the tomb was discovered, it was found that there was a newly excavated cave on it, and the burial goods inside were all wiped out. This pottery figurines of the Sui Dynasty were originally rare, and suddenly one appeared here, you say it is not a coincidence. ”

Ji Xiaofan couldn't help but suddenly realize: "No wonder Uncle Zhu was sure that it was genuine so quickly, it turned out to be like this." ”

Zhu Qing said with a smile: "It's not easy for me to judge this way, the shape and workmanship of this pottery are very ancient, I'll take this thing back now, and I'll open their eyes tomorrow." ”
