"These are the four pieces of porcelain that I have carefully collected, so they should be pretty good, right?" Hong Wu walked over and asked with a smile.

"Well, it looks pretty good." Yi Yang nodded, he was also telling the truth, those four pieces of porcelain looked exquisite at first glance, dazzling, and impeccable.

"Really?" Hong Wu said happily, "I'm relieved that you see it too." ”

Yi Yang said: "Yes, it looks very good. ”

"So, things are okay?" Hong Wu asked with a smile, "I believe in your vision, your eyesight is so good, you must be able to see it at a glance." ”

Yi Yang could see it at a glance, there was no doubt that they were four pieces of high-antique porcelain, but he only suspected that it was a "Ming imitation", and he couldn't be sure of its true origin.

However, it is not difficult to determine this matter, and a closer look at the antique porcelain should be able to see some clues, so Yi Yang shook his head and said: "It's hard to say this now, you have to take a closer look." ”

"Then you can take a good look." Hong Wu hurriedly nodded and said, "I'll leave this matter to you, I hope you will give it an appraisal." ”

Yi Yang said: "Do your best. Mr. Hong, I can't see this clearly through the glass cabinet, can you open the safe and take out the porcelain to take a look? ”

"Of course." Hong Wu agreed without hesitation, and then he opened the glass cabinet and carefully moved out the four pieces of porcelain one by one for Yi Yang to take a closer look.

After the porcelain was moved out, Yiyang and they could see it more clearly, the four pieces of porcelain in front of them at the moment were all heavy vases, but the types of porcelain were different, namely blue and white porcelain, pastel porcelain, five-color porcelain and enamel porcelain, which basically included the most important kinds of porcelain in the Qing Dynasty, each of which was beautiful and eye-catching.

After taking a closer look, Yi Yang soon noticed that although these four large bottles were not the same type of porcelain, they had something in common, that is, the decoration on the glaze was similar, and they were all painted with flowers and birds, and the forms of flowers and birds were extremely similar.

"These are all vases of flowers and birds." Yi Yang couldn't help but speak, "I've also seen a lot of beautiful porcelain, but I've never seen so many large vases of flowers and birds at one time, and these four bottles are of different varieties and colorful, it's really an eye-opener!" ”

"Yes, it's a vase of flowers and birds!" Hong Wu nodded vigorously and said, "These four pieces of porcelain are all works of the Kangxi period, you can take a look, the bottom is the 'Kangxi Year of the Great Qing Dynasty'." ”

Yi Yang nodded and said: "You don't need to look at it to know, looking at the features like a work of the Kangxi era." ”

It didn't matter what the style was, he was sure that they were four almost collectible fakes.

"It's really Kangxi Guanyao?!" Hong Wu said excitedly, and he also said that Yi Yang had decided that there was no problem with the thing, and it was a boutique of the official kiln.

Yi Yang shook his head and said, "It's hard to say." Mr. Hong, don't worry, wait for me to take a look. ”

He was not in a hurry, his face did not show the slightest strange look, and Hong Wu did not know what he really thought in his heart.

"Well, there's no hurry." Hong Wu nodded patiently.

At that moment, Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao looked at the four large bottles in detail again, and suddenly, a big question jumped in Yi Yang's heart: "Strange, since Hongwu, the old thief, is smuggling fakes, then why doesn't he even know the fakes in his hands?" But he doesn't look like he's pretending to be like this, does he really think these four are genuine?! Anyway, let's take a look first and then see if it's a 'clear imitation'! ”

Realizing this, Yi Yang went straight to the point, and now he wanted to find out what was missing in the porcelain.

If it is the famous "Ming imitation", then it stands to reason that there will be a secret mark on the porcelain, otherwise it does not conform to the style of the "Ming imitation" maker.

Then, Yi Yang took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and looked at a part of the pastel bottle in it.

He looked at the important parts of the vase of flowers and birds, because he had identified many similar porcelain, and if it was a "Ming imitation", the mark should be on the heart of the flower or the bird's eyes and tail.

"There it is!"

After a while, Yi Yang used a high-powered magnifying glass and faintly saw the defect in the center of a flower.

Immediately concentrated on it, not looking at it or paying attention, and he was secretly surprised at a glance.

He saw the secret mark of Gao Imitation, but this secret mark was very different from the secret mark of "Ming Imitation" that he had seen before, and he saw that the place written in the small seal font of the plum blossom was not "Anti-Qing and Restoration of Ming", but the words "I am in trouble".

"How could this be?!" After seeing it clearly, Yi Yang was puzzled and didn't understand what it meant, but he quickly thought of it, only to say that the implication must have been left by the porcelain maker, and the font penmanship was from the hand of the "Ming imitation" maker.

"The old imitation master who made this porcelain was in trouble at the time, but he was struggling to show it directly, so he had to leave a secret mark for others to help?" Yi Yang immediately thought to himself.

When exactly this porcelain was made, Yi Yang had no way to find out, after all, he could only make some judgments based on the strength of the aura, and could not trace its ins and outs.

After looking at that piece of porcelain and pondering to no avail, Yi Yang turned to look at another piece of porcelain, he wanted to see if the other three pieces of high imitation also had some hidden secrets.

The omission of the second large bottle was found on the bird's eyes, but it was also a secret mark of the four words left by the plum blossom seal, called "Hong's basement".

"'Hong's basement'?!"

After seeing the hint of the four words left clearly, Yi Yang was shocked, the "Hong family" in the "Hong family's basement" undoubtedly refers to the Hong Wu family.

"'Hongwu Basement'?" Yi Yang couldn't help but think secretly, "You mean the basement of the Hongwu family?" Just under this house? What's hidden in the basement? Is it a treasure?! ”

Thinking that there might be a batch of treasures hidden in the basement under his feet, Yi Yang was inexplicably excited, he never thought that he could spy on the two high-imitation bottles, and this secret was hidden in the basement of the Hong family's villa, and it could be decrypted when he walked in.

After muttering for a while, Yi Yang hurriedly went to inspect the remaining two large bottles, but the secret marks left on the two pieces of porcelain did not change, and they were also "I am in trouble, and the Hong family is in the basement".

"The porcelain maker seems to emphasize these two sentences, there must be some huge secret in the basement of this villa!" After inspecting them one by one, Yi Yang made a conclusion in his heart.

"Brother Yi, what are you thinking? You've finished reading all the porcelain, right? ”

Seeing that Yi Yang's face gradually showed a contemplative expression, Hong Wu couldn't help asking.

Yi Yang immediately settled down, raised his head and said, "Well, I've seen it almost." ”

"And what about the result?" Hong Wu hurriedly asked, "In your opinion, are there any problems with these four pieces of porcelain?" Is it a genuine official kiln? ”

Yi Yang shook his head lightly and said, "There shouldn't be any big problem just looking at the features, but it's hard to say the specifics." I don't know for sure. ”

"Impossible!" Hong Wu shook his head and smiled, "You are a recognized expert in the antique industry, how can you not even be able to see these four pieces of porcelain?" ”

Yi Yang smiled bitterly and said: "That's just that friends on the road can afford it, no one can eat any kind of antiques, and I won't tell you, what I'm doing is not porcelain, but other aspects." ”

He didn't think about making an ambiguous appraisal of Hong Wu, but with such a variable in the matter, he naturally couldn't tell the truth, if he directly told him that this was the "Ming imitation" in the high imitation, it might expose the secret, and the secret porcelain maker would definitely not want Hong Wu to know.

At present, Yi Yang is not willing to let Hongwu, an old fox who is very well hidden, know, the other party will wake up when he knows, and it will be difficult to sneak into the basement to find the treasure at that time.

However, whether this porcelain is a fake or not, it is estimated that it is no different to Hong Wu, because he smuggled fakes, and the four pieces of porcelain in front of him are "Ming imitations", and it is estimated that it is a little difficult to send them to a large auction venue, but it is still easy to deceive ordinary porcelain collectors.

"You're too modest." Hong Wu shook his head and smiled, "Your eyesight is amazing, and there is no porcelain that you can't identify." These four large bottles are so beautiful, and you don't see anything unusual, then I think it's almost certain that they are genuine. ”

Yi Yang said indifferently: "Of course, I also hope that they are all genuine." Mr. Hong, these four pieces of porcelain are a bit special, I recommend that you find more experienced masters in porcelain identification, and it is best to do a carbon 14 test to make the final determination. ”

He prevaricated casually, although he knew that it was impossible for Hong Wu to do those appraisals, but it didn't hurt to talk about it.

Hong Wu laughed loudly: "No need, if you say it's okay, then it's really okay!" Brother Yi, thank you so much, I must have a drink with you later! ”

Yi Yang didn't say anything, and making such a conclusion may not be the best result.

At that moment, Hong Wu moved the four large bottles back to the glass display case one by one, and later he took Yi Yang and the two to visit the collection room for a while, and then left the room and came to the living room downstairs.

"Is there really a basement down here?"

After walking down, Yi Yang kept thinking about a question in his heart, that is, about the strange secret marks left on the four pieces of porcelain.

When he first arrived, he naturally didn't know anything about the situation of the Hong family's villa, but he could take a closer look in the name of visiting to see if he could find anything.

"Mr. Hong, your villa is really big!" Yi Yang suddenly opened his mouth and exclaimed, "The surrounding environment here is also very good, it is really a treasure of feng shui, I wonder if I can visit around?" ”

Hong Wu nodded briskly and agreed: "Of course, I'll take you to have a look." ”

Yi Yang shook his head and said, "No need, let's take a look for ourselves." ”

"Then please, I'll ask the maid to prepare wine and food, and I'll be sure to have a drink with you later." Hong Wu nodded, he didn't have the slightest suspicion.

"Well, if you don't get drunk, you won't go home!" Yi Yang said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, he took Bai Wenchao out of the living room and looked for the "treasure".
