Chapter Ninety-Three: Excerpts from Truth and Falsehood

In Zeng Jiu's house, everyone also talked happily. During this period, he asked Yan Lao for some knowledge about antiques, and Yan Lao naturally knew it without saying anything. There are also a lot of treasures for a long time, but eighty percent of them are fakes. Hong Tianbao thought secretly: It seems that the level of this rich man is really average, and he has paid a lot of tuition!

Sun Moba casually picked up a book of calligraphy, glanced at it, and then said, "Deng Shiru? Haven't heard of modern calligraphers? ”

Hong Tianbao and others were cold, and secretly said that ancient Chinese calligraphers are like stars in the sky, and you are afraid that you only know Wang Xizhi. Tang Xin glanced at it with disdain and said: "I'll just say that you, a frog at the bottom of the black charcoal well, insist that there is only one big plate in the sky!" Deng Shiru didn't know, and he was lonely and unheard. Deng Shiru is a famous calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty, I think you should go back to primary school to make up for history! ”

Sun Moba's eyes widened and said, "Is it possible to bully my old grandson blindly?" This seal is so new, I don't look like anything from the Qing Dynasty. Don't think that you can dance and ink after a few years of eating ink, open your needle and take a look. ”

"Ahem!" Zeng Jiu's face was red suddenly, and his expression was extremely embarrassed. Shamefully, this calligraphy was his first collection, and he bought it with a brain fever at the time.

Who knew that after coming back, he was immediately pointed at the seal and said that he was struck in the eye. Let's not talk about the old and new prints, many people know that "Deng Shiru's Excerpts" is not printed. This embarrassed Zeng Jiu for a long time. Later, in order to save a little face, he began to contact antiques, and was ready to find a genuine antique for people to see.

As everyone knows, this clumsy eye is like the plague of the three yellow chickens, and it has been hit again and again for a period of time. Later, after the guidance of the masters, I caught a trace of the doorway, and I gradually fell in love with antiques. He doesn't ask for antiques to get him promoted and make a fortune, but just pursues the surprise and pleasure of the moment when he finds the treasure.

Tang Xin said disdainfully: "I just said that Deng Shiru was from the Qing Dynasty, but I didn't say that this book was from the Qing Dynasty, don't be confused with your black charcoal." Who told you that something must be original? Don't you know that there is still a 'copycat' in this world? There are no less than 100 copies of the Lanting collection order outside! ”

Yan Lao watched Sun Moba and Tang Xin pinch each other, smiled bitterly, and didn't pay attention to the calligraphy book. Hong Tianbao's eyes narrowed slightly, and his steps involuntarily walked towards Sun Moba's position.

He took the calligraphy book, looked at it carefully, and the doubts in his heart were immediately opened. When he first saw this calligraphy book, Hong Tianbao thought it was real, but the red seal discouraged him.

Of course, Hong Tianbao knows that Deng Shiru is a person, the Qing Dynasty is the Zhongxing period of calligraphy, and this Deng Shiru is one of the representative figures, creating the sect of stele learning.

Deng Shiru was born in a poor family, and his grandfather and father both loved calligraphy and painting. He is less good at seal carving, living in Jinling Mei Biao's house for eight years, copying the Qin and Han dynasties since the gold and stone rare books. Suigong four-body book, especially long in seal book, with Qin Lisi, Tang Li Yangbing as the sect, a little subordinate, called a god. The surname is Lianjie, who travels all over the famous landscapes and is self-sufficient with books.

As a master of calligraphy that shakes the past and the present, Deng Shiru is a model that has won our respect with genuine innovation. His contemporary, Bao Shichen, listed his calligraphy as a "divine product" and praised it as "the first four-body calligraphy in the country". In the history of calligraphy, Liu Yong, the "prime minister of thick ink" who is conceited of "I am my own book", saw Deng Shiru's words at that time, and exclaimed: "There has been nothing like this for thousands and hundreds of years!" ”

And his "Deng Shiru Excerpts" is also famous all over the world, and many people have heard of it. Its biggest feature is that it was not stamped, and "Deng Shiru's Excerpts" was later missing.

Hong Tianbao knows that this is the real "Deng Shiru Excerpt" in front of him. As for why there is a red mark on it, Hong Tianbao can also guess it. Obviously, the person who sold it to Zeng Jiu at that time was also an antique blind man, and he had no common sense at all. Thinking that calligraphy with a stamp will double its value, he drew a snake and added a dog's tail to the mink. The real thing was faked by him, and I have to say that providence makes people.

"Elder Yan, come and see this excerpt, I think it's true, and the seal should have been stamped by someone who didn't know how to do it later." Hong Tianbao handed the calligraphy book to Yan Lao.

Elder Yan immediately froze, his attitude immediately became serious, and he took the excerpt and said, "Is there such a thing? Let me see! After saying that, he looked at it as if no one was around.

Zeng Jiu and the others were stunned, a little unexpected. Tang Xin immediately came over, she had to take a good look. Just now, he boasted about Haikou in front of Sun Moba, a layman, saying that this thing was not real. If she gets it wrong, she'll lose face this time, and I'm sure that guy will laugh at her often in the future. Zeng Jiu was overjoyed, looking at Elder Yan expectantly.

After a long time, Yan Lao raised his head. Seeing Zeng Jiu staring at him, Yan Lao smiled happily and said: "It's still Tianbao's eyes are poisonous, this "Deng Shiru Excerpt" is indeed true, and it was stamped by someone in one fell swoop, which made this treasure dusty until now." ”

When Zeng Jiu heard it, he was immediately ecstatic, this was his first collection, and it was of great significance.

Before Hong Tianbao was complacent, Sun Moba stood up and said, "This seems to have been discovered by me, right?" He saw Hong Tianbao shoot at a glance, and immediately changed his tone and continued: "Ahem! Of course, the boss's help is indispensable. ”

Yan Lao took a step back slightly, and said a little against his will: "Mmmm! Xiaobawang's vision is good! ”

"Isn't it just a blind cat encountering a dead mouse? What's so awesome about this? Tang Xin said sarcastically.

Sun Moba was not annoyed, and said proudly: "It's better than some people who keep looking at the sky and have nothing to look at." At least it shows that I have passed the test with good luck! Unlike some people who have eyes and don't know treasures, they also sell melons and boast about how good they are. ”

Hong Tianbao really suspected that Sun Moba had done something evil in his previous life, and what he did to Tang Xin to hurt the heavens and reason, which made the two of them go toe-for-tat in this life.

Hong Tianbao didn't bother to persuade him, they would scold if they wanted to, and beat if they wanted to! Talking too much, both guys are immune and tired themselves. He changed the subject and said, "Elder Yan, this mark should be able to be erased, right?" ”

"Ugh! You don't know? "Elder Yan was surprised, this should be a more common sense repair problem for antiques! Hong Tianbao has a strong ability to appreciate treasures and treasures, and also understands a lot of antique knowledge. They are regarded as the brightest new stars, and it is surprising that they don't know this method.

How did Yan Lao know that the reason why Hong Tianbao had an excellent ability to appreciate treasures was also closely related to the treasure money and cultivation. When it comes to the basics of antiques, he really doesn't know much. He's been in the industry for a short time, and that's one reason. And Uncle Gu mistakenly thought that Hong Tianbao had a solid foundation and did not teach it, which was another reason. Third, Hong Tianbao is more interested in those bizarre and strange knowledge, which is also a problem.

"That, I haven't been playing antiques for a long time, and the teacher hasn't mentioned it to me, so I really don't know." Hong Tianbao was a little embarrassed, but he said not ashamedly. In his opinion, to understand is to understand, and not to understand is not to understand! If you don't know how to pretend to understand, it's not good to deceive yourself.

Tang Xin smiled secretly, and finally found his advantage. Yan Lao smiled bitterly: "It's okay! Just read more related content when you have time. There are several ways to clear this, and it is not a difficult task. Let me briefly mention a few things, we can chemically react it. It can be eliminated manually, and it can also be erased by high technology. ”

After speaking, Yan Lao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Hong Tianbao's eyes, he was also a lot more normal. Because this is the performance of a normal person, Hong Tianbao's previous performances were beyond the scope of ordinary people.

Hong Tianbao was embarrassed and looked like he was taught. I secretly decided in my heart that I had to make up for this knowledge when I had time, it seems that this antique is also broad and profound, even if he is a cultivator and has a good memory, it is not possible to learn it in three or five days.

"Director Ning is a capable person in this regard, you can go to him for help, I believe he will be happy." Elder Yan looked at Zeng Jiu and said.

"Hmmm! Don't worry, I know that I won't just find someone to deal with it and spoil this baby. Zeng Jiu understood what Elder Yan meant, and he hoped that he would not be so-so.

Zeng Jiu also has a heavy treasure here, which he spent a lot of money to auction back from abroad.

It was a tangled peony cloud dragon pattern jar, and it was a yuan blue and white flower. It is not tall, but the body of the jar is very large, and it depicts these countless peony flower branches, and a green dragon coils around it, lifelike.

Yuan Qinghua is too famous, even people who don't know how to do it know a little. Yuan blue and white porcelain opened up a new era of transition from plain porcelain to colored porcelain, its rich and majestic, bold painting style, painting layers are numerous, and the traditional aesthetic taste of the Chinese nation is very different, it is really a wonderful flower in the history of Chinese ceramics, but also makes Jingdezhen become the center of the world porcelain industry in the Middle Ages.

"The return of this porcelain is also a great blessing for our Chinese nation! Boss Zeng's merits are immeasurable! Yan Lao's eyes were full of appreciation, he had seen this tangled peony cloud dragon pattern jar before, but every time he saw it, he would be overjoyed.

"Elder Yan is serious, as long as he is capable, the Chinese people will not sit idly by." Zeng Jiu said modestly.

It is also fortunate to be able to photograph this porcelain. Zeng Jiu's family traveled around Europe, and when they arrived in France, a French partner invited him to an auction. Originally, I was tired from shopping at the time, and I didn't want to go, but because of this friend's face, I reluctantly participated.

When he saw this Yuan Qinghua, he was immediately glad that he was able to participate and did not miss this porcelain. Otherwise, this twig-twig peony cloud dragon pattern jar will have to fall into the hands of foreigners. At that time, he was the only Chinese who participated, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to shoot it.

"This is the one that the Eight-Nation Alliance took from the Old Summer Palace, right?" Hong Tianbao also heard of this porcelain, when Zeng Jiu auctioned it back to China, it shocked many people, made everyone know, scolded the French for not being a thing, and actually auctioned China's national treasure to make a profit.

"Not bad! Alas! There were too many treasures lost back then, and which country in the world that was a little bigger didn't take China's national treasure? Especially at that time, the Eight-Nation Alliance wanted to take it back one by one. Talking about this sad history, Yan Lao is full of feelings. Not only Yan Lao, but almost everyone who loves antiques is heartbroken.

It wasn't until about seven o'clock that Zeng Jiu's wife and children returned. Zeng Jiu's wife, Guan Caixia, is in her forties and has good maintenance, but she is not beautiful. When she returned, she saw so many guests and immediately began to make dinner. Zeng Jiu's son Zeng Rongguang is a refreshing and generous young man, slightly older than Hong Tianbao and others, with mature appearance, extraordinary temperament, and elegant conversation! It reflects the excellent quality and style of the rich second generation.
