Next, everyone chatted for a while, of course, the topic basically revolved around the theft of Zheng Qiuda's antique shop.

Speaking of which, not to mention that Zheng Qiuda didn't put things in the safe, and there were thieves who patronized him, it was also caused by his weak sense of security.

Zheng Qiuda's antique shop is near Baoguo Temple, it has been open for several years, and his shop pù has a back door, because he usually doesn't leave, it has been locked like that, plus he still uses a wooden stick to prop it up, so he hasn't paid much attention to it, and before the thief visited, it is estimated that he has not checked it for at least a year.

Unexpectedly, the lock on the door may not have been opened very often, it is aging, and the wooden stick is a little rotten, so the thief took advantage of this loophole and broke into the store so easily. And maybe he was afraid that someone would come in through the front door, and the thief would also destroy the lock on the front door, which made Zheng Qiuda particularly annoyed.

In the end, Zheng Qiuda sighed and said: "In the final analysis, this matter is still my own fault, and it can be regarded as eating a trench and growing wise." As for the things that were lost, I just had to get the fan back in good condition, and I would be satisfied. ”

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Lao Zheng, if you can get this fan back, do you have any intention of making a move?" ”

Zheng Qiuda was stunned, and immediately reacted, Chu Chen had seen this fan in the morning, and it was normal for him to be interested in this thing, but he really didn't plan to make a move in his heart, and he had been a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Zhu Dafu hurriedly said: "Lao Zheng, it's okay if you don't sell things, can you let Xiaochen bring things to Liu Lao for appraisal?" ”

Zheng Qiuda was a little confused by Zhu Dafu's words. Because Zhu Dafu is talking about "appraisal" rather than "appreciation", that is. Including Chu Chen, several of them did not identify the authenticity of the thing. But since the authenticity has not been identified, why did Chu Chen say that he wanted to buy it?

Seeing Zheng Qiuda's somewhat puzzled look, Zhu Dafu explained the matter to him, and then Zheng Qiuda realized that his fan was likely to be an imitation of Zhang Daqian. Although the imitation is definitely not as valuable as the original, coupled with Zhang Daqian's fame, Chu Chen will not suffer a loss even if he buys it at the price of the original.

Zheng Qiuda scratched his head and said, "The matter of identification." I'm sure a hundred are willing, and as for whether to transfer or not, don't let me think about it. ”

Hearing Zheng Qiuda say this, everyone will smile, and the reason is also because Zheng Qiuda is too perfectionist, has a compulsive personality, and is usually fine, but it is easy to make mistakes when it is critical.

If there was Zhang Daqian's seal on the fan, Zheng Qiuda would not feel that it mattered. But there is nothing in the seal, that is, this work is a conscious imitation of Zhang Daqian, which is for him in his pursuit of perfection. It's not very acceptable.

However, Zheng Qiuda still admired this fan in his heart, and he felt that it was difficult to choose for a while. As you can imagine, it is estimated that Zheng Qiuda will not be able to sleep well in the past few days.

Uncle Wu smiled and said, "I said Xiao Zheng." Your personality can also be changed, otherwise we will all feel tired and panicked for you. ”

Zheng Qiuda smiled bitterly: "As the saying goes. The country is easy to change, the nature is difficult to change, I actually want to change this problem, but I just can't change it, I can't help it! To be honest, because of my problem, I walked through it once last year. ”

"Lao Zheng, what about it?" Lao Wu asked curiously.

"You kid, you like to see me laugh." Zheng Qiuda smiled and pointed his finger at Lao Wu, but he still told everyone about it.

It turned out that in July last year, Zheng Qiuda went to Central Plains Province to collect things, and when he came back, he saw an old man in his fifties, setting up a stall next to the train station, and there were all kinds of things on it, but most of them were fake at first glance, and as for the remaining small part, Zheng Qiuda felt that it was very likely to be a fake.

As for the reason, it is nothing more than because the train station has always been a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, even if this old man has real things, he doesn't dare to take them out, otherwise he is unlucky, and something may happen.

Although Zheng Qiuda estimated that there was a high probability that something was fake, the train still had a while to leave, so it was too boring to go to the waiting room and wait, so Zheng Qiuda squatted down and picked and chose from the part that was not fake.

During this period, there was a statue of Guanyin that caught his attention, this instrument lowered its head, solemn and solemn, and its expression was kind, as if it was overlooking the worldly beings. The folds of the clothes are all curved, the hair is full of silk, the sea lines are fine, the face is rounded, and the expression is serene.

The overall shape of this statue is stable and square, the proportions are well-proportioned, and the characters are delicately portrayed, which is very similar to the porcelain sculpture master's system, and what makes Zheng Qiuda feel unbelievable is that there is a seal script "He Chaozong" gourd-shaped model behind the Guanyin statue.

"Can I still pick up a big leak in a place like this?"

At that time, Zheng Qiuda was really excited, but when he settled down and observed carefully, he found a few small features, and these could not appear on the real thing, which made him somewhat regretful.

As for who imitated it, because of the relationship of time, Zheng Qiuda didn't have time to judge, so there was a problem in front of him, to buy or not to buy?

In fact, in addition to a few details, the imitation of this statue of Guanyin is still in place, as long as the price is right, no matter what, it should not suffer a loss when you buy it.

But at this time, Zheng Qiuda's old mistake was committed, and he felt that no matter how good it was, it was just an imitation, and what good things could be placed here, he thought about it and finally gave up.

got on the train, Zheng Qiuda was still thinking about the statue of Guanyin in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was not out of sight, there were many imitations of He Chaozong, and there were a few who were not small, in case the imitator was one of these famous artists, it would be a pity.

While Zheng Qiuda was thinking wildly, a slightly chubby man sat in front of him, and the other party was holding something wrapped in newspaper, which was very similar to the statue of Guanyin he had just seen.

"It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

Just when Zheng Qiuda was surprised, the other party greeted him familiarly, and introduced himself that he was a small businessman who came here on a business trip, and just now he saw Zheng Qiuda holding this Guanyin statue from a distance and finally put it back.

He was curious, so he walked over to take a look, he didn't know what antiques are not antiques, he just felt that this statue of Guanyin was very kind, thinking that there were old people at home who believed in Buddhism, he remembered to go back, the price given by the old man was not expensive, he didn't pay much bargain.

In the end, he wanted to trouble Zheng Qiuda to help take a look.

Anyway, when he had nothing to do, Zheng Qiuda agreed, but when he went out, he was still wary of this person in his heart. But then he took a closer look, and he was depressed in his heart, because judging from his experience, this Guanyin statue should be Su Xuejin's imitation of He Chaozong's work.

Su Xuejin was an outstanding porcelain artist in Dehua in the late Qing Dynasty and a figure in the palace of He School art. The porcelain plum blossoms he created were exhibited at the World Exposition and won the Excellence Award. At that time, in recognition of his works winning international honors, Wu Chengmian also presented a plaque of "Extremely Deep Research" with a special title. In addition, his works are also in the collection of the Forbidden City.

The most important thing is that Su Xuejin's imitation of He Chaozong's works has both form and spirit, and it is difficult to distinguish the real imitation. And this statue of Guanyin, Zheng Qiuda looked at it carefully, and found that Su Xuejin's own style was also added to it, which is a relatively rare artifact, do you think he can not be annoyed?

In the end, Zheng Qiuda told the other party the result and asked him if he could transfer it, but he said that he could invite this Guanyin statue by fate, and he wanted to collect it himself, so he politely declined.

At the end, Zheng Qiuda sighed: "Maybe as he said, I have no fate with that statue." ”

Looking at Zheng Qiuda's regretful appearance, Chu Chen thought to himself, this matter really has nothing to do with fate, the key is that Zheng Qiuda is not good at seizing opportunities, just like he thought before, since he won't suffer a loss if he buys it, why don't you buy it? If it were him, he would have bought it even before he had the ability, so he wouldn't let the opportunity slip away like this.

Lao Wu patted Zheng Qiuda's shoulder and said, "Lao Zheng, don't think about it too much, we have basically encountered this kind of thing, but there are more people and fewer people." However, I still advise you to change your temper, no one is perfect, how many things in the world are perfect? ”

"Give it a try."

Zheng Qiuda nodded, but judging from his expression, it was estimated that he didn't care much about this matter. In this regard, everyone didn't say much, after all, life is on his own, as a friend, he can only put forward some opinions at most, and as for the choice, he can only rely on himself.

"Alright, let's have some fun."

Zhu Dafu waved his hand and told everyone an interesting story in the market, which made everyone laugh, and then the atmosphere of the scene began to be lively again.

Everyone talked about some stories and rumors in the industry, and two hours passed in a blink of an eye, just as Zheng Qiuda was about to say goodbye and leave, he received a call from the police station, saying that the thief had been caught and asked him to go there immediately.

After hanging up the phone, Zheng Qiuda hurriedly said goodbye to everyone, and then prepared to set off in a hurry, but before the others had taken a few steps, they walked back and asked Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, are you busy tomorrow?" ”

Chu Chen shook his head: "It's nothing important." ”

Hearing this, Zheng Qiuda hurriedly smiled and arched his hand to Chu Chen, and said, "Then I want to borrow you tomorrow." ”

"Lend me?" Chu Chen's expression was a little surprised, he didn't know what Zheng Qiuda meant by this, and the others were also a little confused.

"That's what happened." Zheng Qiuda said with a smile: "I was introduced by a friend of Guò the day before yesterday that I saw a calligraphy work of Zhang Zhao in a house, and I immediately wanted to buy it, but the other party refused to agree, saying that he did not believe the price I estimated......"
