Tu Su's uncle's name is Hu Xingjian, the second husband of her mother's eldest sister, not tall and not big-eyed, with a typical southerner face, with a flat head and a shrewd spirit of a small businessman. He drove a ninety percent new Guangzhou-made Honda sedan, parked the car and walked into the hotel lobby, just when he saw Tu Su's eyes were still red, but he was talking with a young man laughing.

After coming forward to say hello, he asked with some confusion: "Xiao Su, is this your friend?" ”

You Fang preemptively explained: "I met her on the train, I saw that she was in trouble at the station, so I will accompany her to wait for you here." ”

Hu Xingjian glanced at Tu Su with a slightly questioning gaze, and subconsciously straightened his chest and said to You Fang: "This classmate, thank you for taking care of my Xiao Su!" Where are you going? I'm coming by car, so I can give you a ride. ”

Tu Su also said: "Where are you going, or let my uncle send it?" ”

You Fang shook his head with a smile, pointed to the front desk of the hotel not far away, and said, "I'm not going anywhere, just staying here." …… You go quickly, you're tired after a day on the train. ”

Tu Su followed his uncle away, but You Fang felt a little surprised, why did he inadvertently always tell the truth in front of this beautiful and simple girl? You Fang really didn't lie to her, he planned to live in the Liuhua Hotel.

A successful "wanderer", if there is no special reason, often does not predetermine the location of the next stop, but randomly decides according to the situation, so as not to leave too many clues, which is what You Fang used to do when he escaped Liu Li's tracking. Before and after walking into the Liuhua Hotel today, You Fang paid attention to the surrounding environment, and carefully released the spiritual sense, feeling that this place is a good place to stay.

Not far from the east of this place is Yuexiu Mountain, from the perspective of feng shui, it is the "dragon head" where the spiritual vein of Baiyun Mountain in Guangzhou stretches into the densely populated place, and the main "hidden spirit" breath. Not far from the south of here is Liuhua Lake, which extends to the end from the northeast Baiyun Mountain-Yuexiu Mountain, a piece of water that happens to appear, is where the "dragon takes water", and the main "nourishing" qi.

This hotel is not far from the Guangzhou Railway Station, and the atmosphere of the mountains and rivers echoes with the vigorous and chaotic popularity of the railway station, forming a kind of quiet and peaceful environment in the chaos. It is even more rare that it occupies a small area in the urban area of Guangzhou, where every inch of land is valuable, and there is a courtyard that can gather local qi inside, and living here is suitable for recuperation and recovery. ――The battle with Xiangzuo Fox's master and apprentice was only the night before, and then he left Yanjing, and You Fang has not fully recovered at the moment.

You Fang walked here from the train station, due to the obstruction of the surrounding high-rise buildings, he could neither see Yuexiu Mountain nor Liuhua Lake clearly, but his spiritual sense could naturally sense the characteristics of the surrounding earth. Mastering spiritual sense is a great help for a person in the wind gate, since you can directly sense the earth's qi, of course, you have to choose a more comfortable place, the feng shui environment here is not excellent, but it is also a good place to stay, and you have other considerations.

It's close to the train station, so you only need to go around the distance between them, so it's easy to get rid of the stalkers. More important is the identity played by You Fang at the moment, he is a private collector who came to Guangzhou with the heirloom Yuan blue and white flowers to see the collection activities. If you live in a presidential suite in a five-star hotel, it is too ostentatious, of course, he can't afford to live, choose a four-star hotel, and ask for a business suite with an outside room.

Do everything with attention to detail, if the plum vase in your hand can arouse the interest of the recruiter, you are not sure whether the other party will investigate his whereabouts, in short, you should act as properly as possible.

You Fang came to the front desk with his bag on his back, took out an ID card named "Mei Lande" and handed it over, and opened his mouth to talk nonsense: "Miss waiter, my name is Mei Land, I have booked a luxury business suite online for a week, and I will stay today." ”

The front desk clerk checked on the computer for a long time, of course, there could be no results, and after asking a few words, You Fang's face sank significantly, and he looked like he was about to get angry. The lobby foreman happened to be near, glanced at the computer records, raised his head and said apologetically: "Sir, there may be a little error in the computer system, and you can't remember the online order number." But it doesn't matter, our Deluxe Business Suites happen to be available, so we will give you the discounted rate for online bookings for a week, right? ”

You don't have to ask for help, as long as the suite is free, the other party will naturally give a discount. Although the online booking price is discounted, it costs RMB 588 a day, or more than 4,000 a week! Alas, a rare luxury.

After checking in, I washed up and rested, had a good meal nearby at noon, and bought a few light and comfortable clothes. There are a lot of shops doing electronic product business in the streets and alleys in this area, and you Fang picked up a Shenzhou travel card with a good tail number, returned to the hotel to install it, and made an appointment to the liaison office of the Yuan Qinghua collection activity. The person who answered the phone was a man with a very gentle tone, asked a few very professional questions, chatted a few words and seemed to be very satisfied, and asked You Fang to come over tomorrow to find him directly.

……

Where in the city is "popular" that "rivals" the most crowded hard-seat cars? It's the subway during rush hour, people are just crowded like canned sardines, and if you wear less on hot days, girls take the subway during the rush hour. You Fang carried a "precious" Yuan blue and white porcelain vase, of course, it was impossible to squeeze the subway, and he did not go outside to stop a taxi casually, but called in the room to ask the hotel to send a car downstairs to wait, responsible for picking him up.

Inside, high-grade hotels usually provide rental car services for guests, and the models are generally higher than the taxis running on the street, as long as they are willing to spend money.

I took the car to a building in the center of the city, which belongs to a certain group, with several floors for its own use, and the rest of the floors for rent as offices. When you enter the elevator, you can find that it is very particular here, there is no 13th floor and 14th floor, the position of the 13th floor on the elevator button is written "12A", the position of the 14th floor is written "12B", and the solicitation activity is on the 12A floor.

This solicitation activity has a great influence in the collection world, and it is estimated that many people have heard about it, and regarded it as a very common in recent years, and the folk treasure appreciation activities organized by major TV stations in various places, and you met such a person in the elevator.

This man was a man in his early thirties, wearing a suit with a burnt face, and carrying a blue and white porcelain vase about 40 centimeters high in his left hand. He saw You Fang holding a wooden packaging box like a child, leaned over and squeezed his eyebrows and said, "You are also here to give treasure?" If we can pass the expert appraisal here, then we will send it! ”

You Fang didn't even bother to laugh, so he came to this kind of occasion to "send treasure"? Even if the things in the hands of the yellow-faced man look like the real thing, there is no need to identify it at all, and it is superfluous to even glance at it, and you can understand it when you see him holding the bottle. The pot-bellied and thin-necked open-mouthed vase, he pinched the bottle with one hand and carried it, this posture is not only easy to damage the utensils, if someone around you runs or you accidentally do not step on your feet, it is easy to bump and touch, this is a large piece of porcelain!

If it is really worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of genuine Yuan Qinghua, even if he only doubts that it is, does he dare to take it like this?

This can only show one point, the vase in the hands of the yellow-faced man is a small amount of money and I don't know where to get it, and similar things can be easily obtained, how can it be a rare genuine Yuan blue and white in the world, and you don't even need to look at it. The so-called eyesight work not only refers to the book to see the utensils, but more importantly, to look at the people.

Whether it is the public solicitation activities organized by the cultural relics department or the treasure appraisal activities organized by the media in the non-governmental organizations, there are always a number of people who are disgusted. They spend a little money on the stall to find some so-called antiques, they know how things come from, but they send them to experts for identification, I don't know if they want to prove their superhuman luck, or want to find the pleasure of being accidentally beaten by an expert for a while? After being clearly told that something can't be faked anymore, he often has to shout a few words angrily: "What a bullshit identification expert, I don't know anything about the goods!" ”

Professional cultural relics appraisal workers are most disgusted by this kind of person, but they can meet a lot of them every time they face the public appraisal activities of the society. You Fang secretly glanced at the camera diagonally above the elevator hall out of the corner of his eye, did not hide the disgust on his face, frowned and did not talk to the person at all. ――If the water is really deep, you may be noticed as soon as you enter the door.

Appraisal experts do not want to see another type of person in public, that is, private counterfeit makers. They brought their newly forged artifacts to the scene for identification, wanting to see how much difference there was between them and the real thing, and where were the most obvious flaws? If you are lucky enough to hit the eyes of all the experts on the scene and are identified as genuine, you will not leave the thing, but leave with the on-site appraisal certificate.

When experienced cultural relics appraisal workers encounter this situation, they often do not say the details very specifically, and some of the professional flaws are not even mentioned at all. If at the scene of the appraisal meeting, someone's things are identified as fakes, but the performance is very calm, pestering the appraisal experts must ask all the details of the flaws, pointing out that one is enough to prove that it is a fake, and the problem is very professional and often involves the specific manufacturing process, then he is the counterfeiter himself.

Both the appraiser and the counterfeiter know it, and the layman who is watching has no idea what is going on. Television and other media often use treasure appreciation activities to attract the public's attention, but in fact, it is also a mixed river and lake, which is placed in front of the public's eyes to make people watch the excitement but can't see the doorway.

You Fang's identity at the moment is also similar to the second type of person, bringing his father's imitation of Yuan Qinghua to the collection site, but he has another purpose. If the plum vase in his hand is identified as a fake, he naturally has nothing to say, but if the other party's appraisal expert is also as inaccurate as Wu Lao, or identified as genuine, You Fang will have the opportunity to inquire about the origin of the solicitor behind the scenes.

When You Fang thought to himself, he had reached the 12A floor, the elevator door opened, and the yellow-faced man picked up the vase with both hands and walked out with a little caution. The corridor is very wide, the wallpaper on both sides and the carpet under the feet are very high-end, and there is a small welcome desk opposite the elevator entrance, and you can see the back of an LCD computer monitor on the table behind the stage, behind which stands a young lady in uniform. Seeing the yellow-faced man and You Fang walking out, she politely stretched out her hand and signaled: "To participate in the Yuan Qinghua collection activity, please go this way, the corridor is at the end." ”

The young lady knew at a glance what they were here for, and showed the way without asking.

Following the direction of the hostess, you can't actually reach the end of the corridor, because after turning a corner and walking a distance, the middle of the corridor is blocked by a closed double stainless steel door.

There is a door open on the right side of the corridor, which looks like a conference room, a big table, many chairs are placed in a circle, there are already more than a dozen people sitting, there are large and small utensils in front of them, and a staff member is talking: "We are holding a private collection activity, only for Yuan Qinghua, and do not provide identification services for other cultural relics, please go back!" ”

You Fang glanced at it and almost lost his fun, this is a private bounty collection, not a treasure appreciation activity carried out by any institution, whether it is true or not, come here to at least take a piece of Yuan Qinghua, how can someone bring the old-fashioned kimchi jar? At this time, an aunt in her forties, dressed very rustic, and looking like a peasant woman, approached the staff member, opened a box a little mysteriously and said: "Brother, I don't have Yuan blue and white, but this is Qianlong pastel porcelain, which is absolutely true!" Just let your boss take a look? ”

You Fang couldn't help but be stunned, he stood up close and saw clearly, the porcelain jar exposed in the box did not look like a fake, it was Qianlong pastel porcelain, and with his eyesight, he felt that this thing was a bit "raw". Of course, the so-called raw does not refer to a newly burned fake, but a piece that has just been taken out of an ancient tomb or other place, and has a subtle difference in character and feel from the utensils that have been used through the ages.

Looking at the peasant woman's appearance, it doesn't look like a person who understands and collects Qianlong pastel porcelain, this aunt is either deliberately dressed like this, or someone taught her to say this in advance. In short, there are problems with the origin of this person and this thing, and there is a good chance that the ** was sent by a tomb robbery gang to explore the wind and step on the line. It seems that there are really tomb robbers who are suspicious of the collector's intentions in this collection activity, and they did not find Yuan Qinghua, but sent someone to test it with a piece of Qianlong pastel porcelain, which happened to let You Fang encounter this scene.

And the staff member just looked at it twice, then shook his head and said: "This aunt, tell the person who asked you to come with the thing, we only collect Yuan Qinghua, and this thing can be sent to the antique shop or auction house, but don't send it here." ”

You Fang on the side couldn't help but be stunned again, it seems that this staff member in his thirties is an expert and an understanding person, but listening to him, the purpose of the organizer is to collect Yuan Qinghua, and he is not interested in other things, so his original idea may be wrong.

Since you are here, let's give it a try, You Fang stepped forward and said, "Hello, my surname is Mei, and we talked on the phone yesterday." He had already heard that the staff member in front of him was the person he had talked to on the phone yesterday, surnamed Luo, called Luo Dike.

Luo Dike nodded slightly in surprise and said, "Oh, is that you?" Please come with me. ”

There is also a closed door on the left side of the conference room leading to the inner room, and in front of the door stand four young men in uniform, dressed like ordinary white-collar workers sitting in the office room, who should also be the staff here. But You Fang can see from the posture and momentum of these people that they are all members of the family, and their skills are by no means comparable to ordinary building security guards.

Luo Dike opened the door and led You Fang to the next door, and the yellow-faced man who came with him just now shouted dissatisfiedly outside: "Why can't I enter if he can enter?" I'm holding a real Yuan Qinghua! What do you mean, isn't this a fraud to the common people? If I don't give an explanation today, I won't leave! Call your expert out......"

You Fang laughed secretly in his heart when he heard this, that person was in the wrong place, this is a private property and not a service window of an institution, and the set of nonsense is not easy to use. Looking at this posture, although people are polite, are they still afraid that you will make trouble? Sure enough, I don't know who blocked him from "persuading" twice, and the yellow-faced man immediately stopped talking.

Next to the conference room was a reception lounge, You Fang sat down on the sofa, and a young lady came in and made him a cup of tea, although he hadn't drunk it yet, but he knew that it was quite high-end tea when he smelled the tea. Luo Dike said slightly apologetically: "Sir, I'm sorry, I need to do a simple security check to make sure you are not carrying a firearm, it is not a suspicion of you, it is just a routine, I hope you understand." ”

There is nothing you don't understand, there may be precious cultural relics at many appraisal sites, or other people send them for identification, or the appraiser uses them as a reference, just let a person of unknown origin go in, what if you take out a gun and rob it? The inspection is the proper procedure, he is very cooperative to stand up and open the box in front of him, raise his arms, and naturally he will not carry the murder weapon when he comes here today.

After the inspection, You Fang didn't drink a sip of tea, and walked out of the other door on the right side of the reception room with Luo Dike in his arms, and walked back to the corridor cut off by the stainless steel door. Luo Dike carefully knocked on a door on the opposite side of the corridor, pushed the door open a crack and asked, "Teacher Zhou, someone has something for you to identify." ”

A deep and slightly hoarse voice came from the room: "It's been a few days, and someone has been brought by you again?" Come on in! ”

Entering the door is a large studio, with a large workbench in the center, on which are placed various glazes, brushes, fillers, broken porcelain pieces, and a half-spliced pine pink glazed pomegranate vase. There was only one person in the room, and he had already put down his work and looked up.

In the usual on-site cultural relics identification, at least three experts are present at the same time, and the consensus can determine the authenticity, just for fear that someone will be accidentally beaten. Soliciting genuine Yuan blue and white products, and offering a heavy reward on the spot, why is there only one appraisal expert present for such a major event? It's incredible. However, when You Fang saw this person at a glance, he felt even more incredible - how much energy did that big collector behind the scenes have to invite this senior out!
