"Boss, where is there a relatively large antique market selling jade in Ningdu?" The first time Yu Fei came to Ningdu, his eyes were black, and he could only ask the shop owner.

The boss smiled innocently and said, "I'm a fan of duck blood, how do I know where to sell jade?" ”

This is also true, Yu Fei just said this casually, he didn't expect him to know the Dao. After all, it was the beginning of the 2000s, and the collection of antiques was far from so hot.

At this moment, the conversation between the two people next to him attracted Yu Fei's attention.

"Big brother, I only have nine hundred yuan now, sell me your piece of Han jade." The speaker was a young man in his early twenties, with short hair and black-rimmed glasses, but he still couldn't hide the fierceness in his body. At this time, he was pointing to a piece of jade and bargaining.

"Nine hundred yuan, you want to buy my piece of jade?" A thin black man in his thirties on the opposite side said anxiously. His clothes were pale from many washes, neat but embarrassing. He raised the jade in his hand: "Tell you, although my piece is not Hetian jade, it is also white marble, at least it can be worth thousands of yuan." Yu Fei was far away, and felt that the jade was indeed old, and there was still some dark yellow Qin on it.

If it is really a jade handed down from the Han Dynasty, maybe it can supplement the green qi of the right hand.

Yu Fei couldn't help but get in touch and leaned over.

"Big brother, I really want to buy this jade, but I really don't have that much money on me, you see-" The short-haired young man turned out the pockets of his shirt and pants, and it was indeed empty.

"This little brother, you judge the judges." The black thin man said to Fei: "My piece of jade is an old object of the Han Dynasty, which is the ancestral treasure of my family. If it weren't for something happening at home and the children waiting to eat, I wouldn't have starved to death! This person actually wants to buy me this piece of jade for 900 yuan, what do you say this is not a slander? ”

Yu Fei saw that behind the black and thin man, there was a little girl of seven or eight years old, with simple pigtails, and at a glance, he knew that the Tao was from his father.

Facing Yu Fei's gaze, the little girl looked a little shy and shrank back slightly. But he still looked at Yu Fei's unfinished bowl of duck blood vermicelli.

Yu Fei's heart was shocked, it seemed that such a scene had been in his memory, but he couldn't remember it.

Seeing that Yu Fei didn't answer his words, the thin black man couldn't help but be a little anxious, he stepped forward and took a step forward and said, "Little brother, take a look, this piece of jade from the Han Dynasty is more than 900 yuan." ”

Jade is a sacrificial tool. According to the "Zhou Li", "jade is used as six instruments, and the four directions of heaven and earth are used as gifts." Worship the sky with the cangbi, worship the earth with the yellow cong, honor the east with the green gui, worship the south with the red zhang, worship the west with the white amber, and worship the north with the standing horizon. As the jade of Litian, Bi occupied an important position in the jade before the Han Dynasty, and formed a jade system such as Subi, Gu, Pu Pattern, Animal Face Pattern, and Cantile Pattern.

The black thin man handed Yu Fei a grain pattern bi, the material belongs to green jade, dark white, the color is heavier, the surface of the bi has two weeks of inner and outer ornamentation, the outer periphery is a grain pattern, the grain is spiral, it looks very sparse; The inner periphery is fine yin line banding.

This is a spiral grain pattern, also called the lying silkworm pattern, but the grain pattern is sparse, which is different from the dense characteristics of jade before the Han Dynasty, like an imitation of the Song Dynasty.

"Big brother, let's be honest with you." The short-haired young man said: "Your jade is not from the Han Dynasty at all, it is imitated from the Song Dynasty, and it is not worth so much money at all!" ”

The black thin man looked at Yu Fei a little nervously when he heard this, and asked, "Little brother, you are a good person, you tell me the truth, how can my jade bi be imitated?" This is our family's ancestral treasure. ”

Hearing the man's words, Yu Fei sneered in his heart, I am a good person, can you also see it? Did you ever see that I once peeked with a telescope at the girl in the dormitory opposite? These two people's double reeds sing too badly, and they are embarrassed to come out to eat with such acting skills? Just pick two extras and you can throw them eight streets!

However, these two people obviously put in a lot of effort, they did not expect the so-called Hanyu to fool people, but played the guise of imitation in the Song Dynasty, although it is an imitation, but after all, the imitation of the Song Dynasty is still an old object, and the price is naturally not low. If someone has the mentality of picking up leaks, it is very likely to fall into the trap.

In particular, novices who have some theoretical knowledge but no practical experience are the most likely to be fooled when they look at everything plausible. However, Yu Fei has one of the biggest cheats, and that is his right hand.

In Tianning Temple, Yu Fei found that his right hand was able to absorb the green energy in the old objects, but the new objects did not. The reason for this, Yu Fei didn't know, but he guessed that it might be that these jade artifacts had gradually stored a gas that couldn't tell what it was over the years, and it was temporarily called chaotic qi. And his right hand happens to be able to sense and absorb chaotic qi, which can be confirmed from the jade cicada and the jade of the lotus boy he wears.

Yu Fei took the jade bi, and there was no reaction in his right hand, it was obviously a modern handicraft that was old.

Yu Fei smiled and said, "I can't see for sure." In the collecting world, if you encounter an old object, you generally don't say it's fake, but say "not true" or "look new", while Yu Fei's words are even more vague, "can't see" can be understood as he can't see the real or fake, but also can be understood that he has seen that this thing is a "blind job" but is not embarrassed to say it. These rules were all learned from Dong Dechang in the car.

He gently placed the jade on the table and said, "Please put this jade away." The reason why it was not handed directly to the black and thin man, but put it on the table for the man to take it, was to prevent "touching the porcelain". "Touching porcelain" is a jargon in the antiques industry, which refers to the seller's intention to let the buyer damage his own object in order to take advantage of the opportunity to blackmail.

The black and thin man saw that Yu Fei was speaking jargon, and his actions were calm and steady, knowing that it was impossible to succeed today, so he put away the jade bi and beckoned the short-haired young man to prepare to leave.

Yu Fei beckoned to the little girl, and the girl came to Yu Fei timidly.

He squatted down, put his arm around the little girl's shoulder, and said softly, "Tell Uncle what your name is." ”

"Niu Niu." The little girl whispered.

"How old are you this year?"

"Seven years old."

"Are you hungry?"

Niuniu glanced at the thin black man, then nodded.

Yu Fei shouted at the shopkeeper: "Boss, three baskets of steamed dumplings, three bowls of vermicelli, a big bowl." ”

"Okay." The boss agreed, and after a while, three bowls of vermicelli were served.

Yu Fei walked back to the table with Niuniu, picked her up and put her on the bench, and pushed the hot steamed dumplings and vermicelli in front of the girl, saying, "Eat it if you're hungry." ”

Unexpectedly, Niuniu glanced back at the black thin man and said, "Dad hasn't eaten yet." ”

When the black and thin man heard his daughter's words, tears fell from his eyes.

Niuniu hurriedly ran to her father's side and said with a crying voice: "Don't cry, Niuniu won't eat, Niuniu won't be hungry." ”

Yu Fei walked over, patted him on the shoulder, and whispered, "In the future, don't do this kind of thing in front of the child." ”

The thin black man choked and nodded.

"Alright. Don't keep your child waiting, let's eat. Yu Fei pulled the two people who were still a little squirming to the table and sat down.

The two of them were indeed hungry, and the two big bowls of vermicelli didn't even have soup left, worried that Niuniu wouldn't be full, and the black and thin man didn't move the steamed dumplings. Yu Fei asked for three baskets of steamed dumplings and two bowls of vermicelli, so that they could eat enough.

During the conversation, Yu Fei knew that the black and thin man was called Qi Yue, his hometown was in the countryside of Yancheng, and he worked in a construction team. His wife ran away with someone a few years ago, so Qi Yue took his nephew, Qi Zhi (that is, the short-haired young man) who had just been discharged from the army, and his daughter Niuniu to work in the construction team. But what I didn't expect was that seeing that the project was about to be completed, the contractor ran away with the money, and he didn't even get a penny after half a year of hard work. I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to come up with this trick.

Grandpa Qi Yue used to be a worshipper in a pawnshop in the old society, and he also had a small reputation in the antique collecting world. Qi Yue has been familiar with the collection since he was a child, so he bought a few fake jade with good quality and good workmanship from the market, and came out to Mengren after it was old. However, this deception is really not very good, and the two of them are also hearsay about the whole deception process, so they are full of loopholes in the play, and they have a dry mouth and have failed to succeed in several places.

Just now I heard that Yu Fei wanted to buy antique jade, and he was young, and there was still a bookish aura on his body, and at a glance, he knew that Lu Dao was a student and had no social experience, so he aimed at him, but he was easily recognized by Yu Fei.

Yu Fei didn't show much interest in Qi Yue's experience, but asked Qi Zhi: "You weren't an ordinary soldier before, right?" He felt that the aura on Qi Zhi's body was by no means just as simple as being a soldier for two years, only people who had experienced swords and swords and flesh-and-blood battles would have this kind of coldness and indifference.

Qi Zhi glanced at Yu Fei with some surprise, hesitated for a moment but did not speak, and Yu Fei stopped asking.

After eating, Yu Fei paid the bill, and gave Qi Yue another 500 yuan and said, "The child is just growing up, so you can't make her hungry." ”

Some people may wonder that there are so many poor people, if Yu Fei is like this to everyone, I am afraid that no amount of money will be enough for him to spend. In fact, Yu Fei also wondered why he would make such a move, and the only explanation was that when he saw Niuniu, it seemed to evoke the softness in the depths of his memory, making it difficult for him to control himself.

Qi Yue's tears came down again, but he stubbornly turned his head away.

Yu Fei patted him on the shoulder and was about to go back to the hotel, but Qi Zhi stopped him and said, "Brother Fei, I heard just now that you want to find a place to buy antique jade?" You can go around the Chaotian Palace, but the things there are all fake. ”

Chaotian Palace? Yu Fei nodded, made a note of this place, and decided to go to Chaotian Palace early the next morning to have a look, maybe he could find some old jade.
