Xie Bin had just finished breakfast at the breakfast shop, and he didn't even wipe the corners of his mouth, a man about forty years old walked over and smiled politely at Xie Bin, "Little brother, I have a painting here, do you want to see it?" Wen Zhengming's, a treasure! ”

Xie Bin was stunned for a moment, and laughed secretly in his heart, these little tricks came to his head, it was really interesting, he Xie Bin started to break through at the age of eighteen, and he had never seen anything in these trades. However, Xie Bin was in a good mood today, and he was unwilling to refuse others with a straight face, so he nodded with a smile, "Yes, as long as it is genuine, everything else is easy to say." ”

Xie Bin knew that this person must have embellished himself when he was shopping in the morning market, but these people can also fool those who don't know how to do it or are greedy, and it is absolutely impossible to fool him.

The man took out a picture scroll from the fishing rod bag behind his back and handed it to Xie Bin.

Xie Bin pointed to the table, the man smiled embarrassedly, but he was secretly vigilant in his heart, he was afraid that he would run into an expert, but he also thought that an expert is also a person, and how many people who claim to be experts have taken medicine by his own means, even he can't count.

Xie Bin wiped his hands clean with a napkin, and then gently pulled away the red ribbon he was tied and carefully spread out the scroll.

Just spread out a small section, Xie Bin stared at it, then rolled it up again, tied the ribbon untouched, and then smiled and stretched out his hand to signal the man to take it back.

"How?" The man doesn't know why.

Xie Bin smiled slightly, "I don't understand, you can change places." ”

The man was stunned for a moment, looked at Xie Bin's smiling face, and could only put away the scroll and left in a hurry.

Waiting for the man to leave, Xie Bin smiled and shook his head, you have to be careful when dealing with these people. From the beginning, the man directly handed Xie Bin the picture scroll, but Xie Bin refused and asked him to put it on the table. This is a little rule in the antique shop, and many people understand it, but sometimes people are a little careless and fall for the way of these people.

And when Xie Bin opened the scroll, he wiped his hands clean first, which is a necessary procedure, because the scroll can't stand dirt, including sweat, oil, etc., if there are no gloves around him, Xie Bin will put on gloves and open them again.

The other is also afraid that this man will cheat, if you don't wipe your hands, he may say that you have just finished eating, your hands are very dirty, and his painting is dirty.

Also, if you see that the painting is a fake, don't just say that it is a fake, just say that you can't see it or can't understand it, they also want to eat with this mixed rice, what you said is so directly that the other party can't get off the stage, in case you want to trouble you, no one can prevent it.

Anyway, in the antique industry, be careful in everything, let alone face these strangers, even acquaintances, you have to be careful. It's not that acquaintances will cheat you, but if something happens, both parties can't tell. Let's just say that this porcelain, two good friends enjoy each other, but they accidentally broke it when they were fighting, who do you say this is?

It's like borrowing money from a friend, you must settle the account, you must write an IOU, don't say how to get it if you're embarrassed, who do you talk to if something happens?

Xie Bin paid the bill and was about to leave, when an old man who was also eating breakfast called him: "Young man, wait a minute, come and sit down?" ”

Xie Bin turned his head and saw that he was an old man in his sixties, with a childish face and a good complexion, wearing a white kung fu practice and a pair of black cloth shoes under his feet, which looked quite tasteful. I don't know what kind of martial arts master or outside the world will think of him. There was also a little girl sitting next to her, twelve or thirteen years old, with a ponytail, looking at Xie Bin with interest.

Xie Bin hesitated for a moment, then asked with a smile, "What's the matter with the old man?" ”

"Well, sit down first," Xie Bin sat down before asking, "When I saw you look at that painting just now, it only opened a small section and closed it, why?" ”

"This," Xie Bin said, "I saw the seal on that painting, and it didn't feel right, so I didn't continue to look at it." ”

"Seal?" The old man thought for a while, shook his head and said: "No, why didn't I notice, let's be honest, I also saw that painting last time, although it didn't feel right, but I didn't know that it was wrong, and I hesitated for a long time before refusing it, how did you see that there was something wrong with the bell seal, I remember that the three seals are very realistic?" ”

Xie Bin nodded, "It's really realistic, but it still shows the traces of machine engraving, so you don't need to look at it anymore when you look at the seal." ”

The old man nodded thoughtfully, "Hmm, it turns out that the problem is in the seal, no wonder, how can you tell that it is a machine-engraved seal?" ”

Xie Bin smiled slightly, "What, the younger generation also plays carving, although it is only bamboo and wood carving, but it is very sensitive to machine carving works, and it is not difficult to see through it at a glance." ”

"That's it, no wonder, is Xiaoyou from here?" The old man nodded, and then asked.

"No, I'm just here for a tourist," Xie Bin felt good about this old man, and he didn't hide it. That said, a person's first impression of others is very important. is like the old man in front of Xie Bin, the first impression of Xie Bin is that he is gentle and amiable. These are two feelings that are completely different from Xie Bin's grandfather, but they make Xie Bin very heartbroken. People often say that what is a person's temperament, and some people say that they see a compelling momentum from someone, etc., which are all the comprehensive impressions of a person's face, language, action and other details to the outside world, and these details are the external embodiment of a person's position, way of doing things and mental activities.

How did Xie Bin's eyesight come from? It is through a lot of observation and accumulation of comparisons to draw conclusions, as long as it is not those who have been trained or are very good at disguising themselves like Xie Bin, few can deceive Xie Bin. How do some clever scammers succeed over and over again? And the victims are all high-IQ people? There is only one person, when people are used to judging people by their appearance, it is easy to be used by scammers, and it is easy for many people to fall into the trap without knowing it.

When Xie Bin fooled Xie Chengwen yesterday, the first layman's words to the extreme made Xie Chengwen treat Xie Bin as a rookie. To say that Xie Chengwen has been tested for a long time, but Xie Bin's words were so shocking that he lost his vigilance in an instant, otherwise he could still see some clues.

The process of Xie Bin making a deal with the gangster who was in the same way just now was seen by the old man next to him, and the first impression was that Xie Bin was regarded as a clever calligraphy and painting player, because Xie Bin's every move seemed so expert, especially the fact that the picture scroll was determined to be a fake after only opening a small section, which was even more evocative.

And Xie Bin's first impression of this old man is also very good, not only looking at his appearance, but also his dressing behavior. Just like this old man, chewing slowly when eating, softly speechless, after eating, the chopsticks are neatly put aside, and the fingernails are trimmed very neatly and cleanly, the eyes when looking at people are soft and delicate, the expression is not too rich, but it is very sincere.

Such a person, even if he is a liar, is a very cultured liar. Coupled with the little girl who was eating quietly next to her, the grandfather and grandson felt very good. But I still didn't tell the truth to the old man. What Xie Bin hid from the old man was that when he looked at the painting just now, he didn't see that there was a problem with the seal to determine that it was a fake, but he felt bad, this painting lacked aura, especially the delicate brushstrokes in Wen Zhengming's painting scroll, and the aura of the color set Yanya, and then he suspected that it was a fake, and finally saw that there was a problem with the seal.

But this can't be said directly, because such words are generally said from the mouths of those respected old-timers, if a junior like Xie Bin says this, it will inevitably make people feel a little pretending or arrogant, especially in the face of an old man. Besides, Xie Bin's research on calligraphy and painting is not very deep, but he is proficient in writing and painting, and appraisal is not his forte, so he doesn't dare to hold it up in front of the old man.

However, this old man didn't let Xie Bin go, and asked with a smile: "Does Xiaoyou have time?" ”

"What's the matter?" Xie Bin is now alert, after all, the two of them are still strangers, and maybe this is an old oilman who has been galloping the rivers and lakes for many years. Speaking of the old people who used to mix the rivers and lakes, they are not ordinary people, not to mention anything else, this ability to act is not trivial, and it is impossible to prevent it.

"Hehe, it's the old man I'm abrupt," it seemed to see Xie Bin's vigilance, and the old man smiled lightly, "My name is Zhao Zhengkui, well, I opened a small shop in Confucius Temple, and I received a painting the day before yesterday, and it feels very good, and the price of that person is not high, so I accepted it, but I haven't been able to determine whether it is genuine, so I want to trouble Xiaoyou to help take a look, how about it?" ”

This, Xie Bin really didn't expect this old man to ask such a question and ask him to identify calligraphy and painting? It's not that he doesn't want to, he really doesn't have the ability. This old man can open a storefront to the Confucius Temple, and he is obviously an expert, but he can't identify the works, what can he, a third-rate player, see? "Mr. Zhao, let's get free, I'm just trying my luck, except for carving, I'm really not good at anything else."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just an exchange, let's go, young people don't be afraid," he said to the little girl, "Guoguo, let's go." ”

"Yes, grandpa," replied the little girl crisply, and paid the bill, like a little adult, and looked very endearing.

"By the way, young man, I don't know your name yet,"

"Xie Bin."

While talking, the Confucius Temple arrived, and the old man stopped at the door of a store called "Sibao Zhai".

Xie Bin looked at the name, and was a little suspicious, looking at the name, this old man is playing with pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, why does he still accept calligraphy and painting? However, after entering, I realized that this store is not small, in addition to selling the four treasures of "pen, ink, paper and inkstone", there are two counters with ancient inkstones and ancient books of calligraphy and painting. Think about it, too, if you open a store in this place, you won't refuse when you encounter something you like, and many people will come to sell when they have a baby, and of course, there are more sets of them.

The decoration of the store is very simple, all wooden structure, it feels very chic, sitting in the small living room, the little girl Guoguo seems to make a pot of tea, so that Xie Bin likes it even more. As mentioned earlier, Xie Bin lacks immunity to sensible and well-behaved children, Xie Bin looked at Xiao Guoguo, who didn't talk much but had very smart eyes, and couldn't help but take out a bamboo carving from his backpack, but he bought it from Xie Chengwen yesterday.

This fisherman's lying boat ornament is very chic, especially the old fisherman with a lovely demeanor is very cute, and it is a good gift for the little girl. "Na, Guoguo, give a gift, don't refuse."

Xiao Guoguo was a little moved when she saw this chic ornament, but she still turned her head to look at her grandfather.

Old Man Zhao, who came in with a scroll of paintings, saw this small ornament and said to Guoguo with a smile: "Take it, thank you Uncle Xie." ”

"Thank you, Brother Bin," the little girl didn't listen to her grandfather's words this time, but put away the small ornament, called out crisply, "Brother Bin", winked at Xie Bin and turned her head to go out.
