Chapter 122: Ancient Jade Dragon Pei

"Okay, then you're busy."

When he came to the back room, Wang San'er was chatting with an old man who was about seventy years old, with white beard and white hair, ruddy complexion, and crane hair and childish face.

"Mr. Xiao, you are here, please take a seat."

"Master Wang, sit down, didn't I say it, just call me Xiao Xiao." Xiao Rong smiled: "I have nothing to do to see if you have entered any good things here, so that I can grow my eyes and learn to learn." ”

"It's only been a few days since you last came here, how can there be so many good things waiting for you." Wang San'er also smiled: "But you're at the right time, this old man Wu has brought two things for himself today, and we're chatting, why don't you take a look first?" ”

After speaking, he turned to the old man and introduced: "Old Wu, this is my new owner of Gu Yunxuan, I told you, Mr. Xiao Rongxiao." ”

"I have been looking up for a long time, I was not in the capital when Wang San'er had an accident, and later I learned that it was Mr. Xiao who helped me with righteousness, and I thanked him on behalf of my old friend." Old Man Wu is extraordinary, but he is very kind, he smiled, and hugged Xiao Rong.

"The old man is polite, you can just call me Xiao Xiao."

"Okay, then I'll call you Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao, Wang San'er has already seen it, how about you help me see this ancient jade!"

The old man took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, this is a piece of Hetian topaz dragon jade pendant, the appearance is beautiful, the carving is exquisite, the texture is also very good, the surface is a little yellow rust, these yellow rust and blood secretion are a great feature of the unearthed ancient jade.

Xiao Rong was slightly stunned, he didn't expect this old man Wu to be a straightforward person, so he directly handed Gu Yu over.

"Xiao Xiao, you can get started and take a look, I just saw it, you can verify my vision again."

Wang San'er also accosted, looking at Xiao Rong with great interest, and the old man Wu on the side also had the same look, they all wanted to see what Xiao Rong could say about this piece of jade.

Looking at the second elder's look of being examined, Xiao Rong smiled slightly, took the jade pendant and directly opened the Qilin Heavenly Eye to observe this jade pendant, a faint golden light flashed between his eyes, and immediately, everything about the ancient jade pendant was exposed in front of Xiao Rong's eyes.

Hey? Wrong! There was nothing to hide under the Qilin Heavenly Eyes, and Xiao Rong was immediately sure that this so-called ancient jade was not an ancient work at all.

Xiao Rong carefully analyzed the carving and jade quality, jade is indeed a good topaz, at least this is a piece of real jade, the carving is also very good, from these two points alone, even if it is a modern topaz work, it also has a high value, but it cannot be collected as an antique.

Xiao Rong gently stroked the jade pendant with his hand again, the jade pendant was very sleek, the fly in the ointment was that there was a trace of uncomfortable youthfulness, Xiao Rong raised his head and glanced at Wang San'er and Old Man Wu suspiciously.

Even if Old Man Wu doesn't know that this piece of ancient jade is fake, but Wang San'er is an antique expert, he can feel that this piece of jade is not right with his hands, Wang San'er has no reason not to notice it, if Wang San'er knows Lu Dao, how can he let his friends continue to collect it as ancient jade? Wang San'er is not the kind of person who forgets his righteousness.

Xiao Rong shook his head slightly, and his action was immediately noticed by Wang San'er and Old Man Wu.

Xiao Rong suddenly raised his head, took the ancient jade, and asked Old Man Wu, "Old man, has it been a few years since you had this piece of ancient jade?" ”

Wang San'er and Old Man Wu's eyes lit up, and the two nodded silently together.

"You're right, this piece of ancient jade has only been in my hands for three years!" Old Man Wu chuckled and nodded.

Xiao Rong lowered his head and pondered for a while, slowly raised his head, and said: "As far as I know, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a jade master in Suzhou, Jiangsu, whose real name is no longer available, and everyone at that time called him 'Qi Sanye'!" ”

When Xiao Rong said this, Wang San'er and Old Man Wu glanced at each other, and there was a sense of appreciation in their eyes, as soon as Xiao Rong said this name, it proved that he really saw the problem with this ancient jade.

The second elder looked at Xiao Rong with interest, Xiao Rong didn't directly say how Gu Yupei was, but told the story, it seemed that he understood the key to this, and the second elder also wanted to hear how much Xiao Rong knew, so he listened very carefully.

Seeing the reaction of the second elder, Xiao Rong also sighed in his heart, when will he be able to tell stories to antique experts. And this knowledge is fortunately what he saw a few days ago, and fortunately, he has the help of Qilin Tianmu at all, he doesn't need to know the authenticity and age of the jade, as long as he understands some fake characteristics and jade styles. Therefore, a lot of the things that Xiao Rong learned were these knowledge and allusions of debating and falsifying, and even Xiao Rong didn't expect it to come in handy so soon.

"Qi Sanye once invented a method of counterfeiting ancient jade, and it is said that this method has made many masters look at him, because his level of counterfeiting is high, and even the Forbidden City has collected his works!"

Xiao Rong spoke softly, Wang San'er and Old Man Wu didn't squeak, and quietly listened to Xiao Rong himself telling the story there, with a look of appreciation flashing in his eyes.

"Qi Sanye's method of counterfeiting is actually not troublesome, he mixes the jade blanks and fine iron filings together, puts them in a large water tank, and then pours the boiled vinegar into the water tank, this process is called 'quenching vinegar'."

"After quenching the vinegar, bury the jade in a damp place, wait for more than ten days and then take it out, and then quietly bury it in the middle of the dirt road where people come and go, and then take it out after two or three months, and the unearthed jade is completely like an ancient jade, and ordinary people can't tell it at all!"

Xiao Rong stroked the jade body of this jade pendant with his thumb, slowly finished telling the story, and then raised the jade pendant and said to Old Man Wu: "Old man, this jade pendant, I'm afraid it is the work of the descendants of 'Qi Sanye', it is very exquisite, it can almost be fake, it may be a recent imitation, but the material of this jade pendant is the real Hetian topaz, so this jade pendant still has a certain value!" ”

Xiao Rong summed up the sentence at the end, he didn't use an affirmative tone, he actually found out that there were iron filings in the jade pendant and happened to know such a story as Lu Dao, whether it was really the case He was not very sure in his heart.

"Xiao Xiao, then how are you sure that this jade pendant is the work of the heir of the 'Third Master Qi' you said? Is there any basis for this? Old Man Wu asked with a smile.

"Yes, of course!" Xiao Rong pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Although the ancient jade made by 'Qi Sanye' is very similar, there is also a weakness, this weakness is time, the ancient jade made by 'Qi Sanye' can't stand the plate, and it will slowly become jerky and fade if it is on the plate for a few years." ”
