Chapter 9 (2) The Great Liar

Hu Shuan was a little crying and laughing, "You're not mistaken, you are so blind, you are not sorry." ”

Boss Cai didn't smile and said, "Otherwise, who said that archaeologists have to be old?" Whether you have the ability or not depends on the kung fu in your eyes and the knowledge in your head. ”

Hu Xuan knew in his heart that he boasted that he was a "national famous archaeologist", just to increase the fame of the store and attract people's attention, so he no longer defended. Boss Cai took out a stack of heavy thickened Daolin paper, which was printed: After learning that this such and such thing is genuine in such and such a year. Underneath is a big red seal that reads "The Seal of the Bolt".

Hu Xuan was so shocked that he didn't know what to say, "You, you...... What the hell is going on, why is it that even my seal has been engraved? ”

"You're a famous archaeologist, how can you not have a seal?"

Hu Xuan felt that he was about to fall into a trap, but when he thought about it carefully, it didn't seem to be dangerous, but it was very ridiculous, he scratched his head and said, "My seal, is anyone willing to buy it?" ”

"Hehe," Boss Cai smiled, "Whether you buy it or not, it depends on your ability, if you don't understand anything, you can't let people buy it, if you really know how to do it, someone will naturally buy it." ”

This is also reasonable, Hu Xuan shook his head and no longer refuted, seriously used what he had learned in his life, identified the antique cultural relics in the store, since graduation, he is the first time to show his talent on so many cultural relics, and the mood is very comfortable.

In the evening, there were more and more customers in the store, and a few people took their own collection of antiques to ask the "archaeologist" Master Hu Xuan to do the identification, and Boss Cai introduced it next to him: "Although Master Hu Xuan is just and weak, he is a top student of the Department of Archaeology of Tianjin Famous University, and a disciple of a famous scholar. ”

When Hu Xuan heard this, he said in his heart that this was not bad. Boss Cai continued: "He personally participated in many antiquities appraisal meetings, was valued by domestic experts, and became a member of the appraisal team of overseas national treasures that went abroad to identify lost overseas treasures. ”

The sweat on Hu Xuan's face almost flowed down, he simply pretended not to hear, ignored him, and concentrated on appreciating the identification of cultural relics. ”

Hu Xuan said regretfully: "This can't be helped, Yuan Qinghua is precious, there are very few genuine products, and it is easy to fake, it is indeed a fake, although I am reluctant to be this result, but there is no way." ”

Boss Cai added oil and vinegar to the side, "Sir, we all regret for you, but Master Hu's eyesight will not be a problem, the purpose of this store is to remove the fake and keep the true, after Master Hu came, the old goods in my store have also identified several fakes, I will paste the fake label one by one, I would rather lose money than tell lies." He danced and spitted and spitted, and the shop became more and more lively, and more and more people came to identify antiquities, and Hu Bolt gradually became too busy.

Until the time when the lights are on, it is considered to be closed, although Hu Bolt is tired, but engaged in his own business, the mood is very happy, Boss Cai patted him on the shoulder and said: "I'm not wrong, what is a master?" Being able to identify the real and fake and win the trust of others is a master. ”

"I think you are the master, the kung fu of the mouth, the kung fu of the heart, the kung fu of the heart, no one can beat." Hu Xuan laughed.

After returning to the inn, Shi Suo said excitedly: "I went to the Aiwan Pavilion today, not only to play the scenery, but also to meet a few masters, in the pavilion to talk about the world's major events, that is admirable." ”

"Oh? Who? ”

"I don't know," Shi Suo said, "it seems that they are all knowledgeable people, they comment on the current warlords, as well as the ancient politicians, saying that the current situation, it is really a rule, every sentence is convincing, a tall man said, the current political situation is chaotic, but the chaos must be the premise of the great rule, all the warlords are mediocre, it is the signs of the emergence of new forces, relying on these old warlords, there is no hope at all, Mr. Sun is suffering from this." But after eating a trench, you will grow a wisdom, and the development of the situation in the future will inevitably be the replacement of the old power by new forces, and when the people wake up, they will have the ability to turn the tide and sweep away the world. ”

"That's great," Hu Xuan also excited, "do they always go there?" I'd like to hear about it too. ”

Shi Suo said: "This is not good, I don't know people, I am embarrassed to ask." I'll check it out tomorrow. ”

According to the agreement with Boss Cai, Hu Xuan went to the antique store early the next morning to "work", Boss Cai took out a piece of jade and said: "I chose the materials for half a day, and the goods you want can only be used with this." ”

Hu Bolt took it over and held it in his hand to watch, the jade white with green, no trace of impurities could be seen in the sun, it was indeed the best jade, nodded and said: "Okay, you carve with your heart, and you have to make it old." ”

There were more guests on this day, Hu Bolt was busy and could not be idle, and after a while, a man in a top hat came, took out a jade monkey from his bag, and asked Hu Bolt to identify.

The stone monkey is finely worked, the carving is vivid, vivid and expressive, the jade color is pure green, and the color is very good. Hu Xuan identified for a long time, and said: "Sir, your stone monkey is a good product from the jade quality and carving, and the goods are good, so collect it well." ”

"What dynasty is it from?"

"A modern new work. Although it looks very old, it is made, although it is not an antiquity, but the workmanship is exquisite, the texture is exquisite, and it is worth collecting. ”

The topper-hat guest looked around and said, "Master Hu, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Boss Cai said beside him: "Of course you can, please inside." After saying that, he led Hu Shu and the top hat guest into the inner room, and after sitting down, the guest said straight to the point: "Two masters, I have a reluctant request, this jade monkey, please Master Hu to identify an ancient goods before the Song Dynasty." ”

"Then how can it be done," Hu Xuan said unhappily: "To identify an antiquity is to determine its authenticity, and to say that a modern thing is ancient, that is a fake, which violates the rules of the industry." ”

Boss Cai also smiled and said: "It's not that we don't talk about friends, but our store is based on reputation, and if Master Hu does this, he will also smash his own signboard." ”

The guest in the top hat said: "I am not doing this to make money, but for a matter related to the political situation of the country. ”

"Peak? What's on the top? Boss Cai asked.

"President Fengda's guard camp."

"Huh?" Hu Shuan was taken aback,

The guest smiled, "This matter needs to be kept secret." Second, here's the thing, now that the country is in turmoil, the struggle between the house and the government, everyone knows that Premier Duan has recently won the election in the National Assembly and overwhelmed the president, and he is going around to win the national representatives from all over the country and manipulate the election. ”

"What does this have to do with us?"

The guest said: "It is a good thing that the state elections are returned to the people, but if the deputies are bribed and manipulated, then what is the alternative?" Although this matter has nothing to do with the two of them, as members of the people, we should also scoff at this kind of behavior of paving the way with bribes and committing fraud in state affairs. ”

"That's right." Hu Shu nodded.

"In the past two days, General Xu, Premier Duan's confidant, sent a person surnamed Yu to this place to find a celebrity in the academic community, hoping to bribe him to lead a group of representatives of the cultural and academic circles to favor the Anhui family in the election, and we have found out that they have given this celebrity a generous gift."

"Therefore," Boss Cai interjected, "you want to insert a lever from it and pry this business over?" ”

The top hat laughed, "The boss speaks cheerfully, that's what it means, now people, no matter how famous, all see money, we have a relationship with this person, he is very fond of this jade monkey, but I can't figure out its age, therefore, I came here to find two to do identification." ”

Hu Xuan said: "Since you are a celebrity, you should be fair and abide by morality, how can you lose your conscience as soon as you give a bribe?" Is such a celebrity also a celebrity? Besides, since he is a celebrity in the cultural circle, he is naturally a rich man, so can't he just identify it himself? Why do you need a little person like me to join the show? ”

The guest shook his head again, "Mr. Hu doesn't know, the so-called celebrities, that are all outside light, his joys, sorrows, and life needs are the same as ordinary people, as for why he asked Mr. Hu for identification, it is also a coincidence, this is his own request, yesterday there was an antiquity, Mr. Hu identified it as a fake, so he was very impressed, so he specially asked Mr. Hu to personally identify it." ”

"I said it was an antiquity, and he believed it? Can you pull me over? Hu Shuan thought it was a little ridiculous.

"Since he is willing to accept the gift of the Anhui family, there is also the possibility of being pulled over by us, we do not ask him to favor us, as long as we remain neutral, impartial, and have a fair election, we will be satisfied."

"Well," Hu Xuan said, "you have a point, although I don't approve of tempting people to take advantage, but let him remain neutral, it can barely be said, but, in any case, such a person, the interests can be tempted, that is a complete market villain, how can he call on the cultural and academic circles?" This is not the right way for you. ”

The guest smiled and said: "Mr. Hu is impartial, which is admirable, but one thing at a time is the right way, and sometimes the violent people can be violently curbed, do you think we are unjust, but if not, what is the best way?" ”

After arguing, the guest was sharp and eloquent, and Hu Xuan finally said: "That's it, I'll think about it." ”

Boss Cai was smiling and drinking tea next to him, and he didn't say anything.
