Chapter 1 "Living Up to Expectations"
"Zhang Shijie, a pair of pure gold peace bracelets!"
"Zhang Huaiwen, a vertical scroll of the Qing Dynasty Magu Xianshou Gongbi painting!"
"Zhang Hongtao, Hetian white jade carving birthday star ornament!"
Zhang Hailin held the album in his hand and read out the gift list at the old lady's birthday banquet, and when he read about his son Zhang Jinlong, he deliberately raised the decibels.
"Zhang Jinlong, Ming Yongle gilt Amitayus Buddha boutique heavy weapon!"
The old lady of the Zhang family originally believed in Buddhism and liked to collect Buddha statues, and she couldn't close her mouth happily when she saw her own grandson giving such a heartfelt gift.
"Okay, good, Jin Long is really attentive! Not bad! Not bad! ”
In the eyes of others, this is not just a matter of heart, it is simply a waste. This kind of high-quality Buddha statue is often in the millions, and even if others want to send it, they are powerless.
Zhang Jinlong was not only happy, but also glanced at Zhang Yi, who was also holding a gift box next to him, and a strange smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
"Grandma, Zhang Yi is also here, and the gift he gave must be good!"
Zhang Jinlong has always hated Zhang Yi, and he deliberately said this in order to make Zhang Yi make a fool of himself in front of his relatives. Because he had already seen that Zhang Yi had a very cheap packaging box in his hand.
"Why is he here?"
"Doesn't grandma have a rule not to let his family step into the Zhang family villa for half a step? He's so thick-skinned, he dares to come! ”
"How can you do it if you don't have a thick skin, it's not what it used to be now."
The relatives were talking in a low voice, all staring at Zhang Yi with a look of anticipation.
Of course.
They are all looking forward to how much of a joke Zhang Yi can make today.
"Zhang Yi, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and take it!"
Zhang Jinlong urged, he was a little impatient.
Zhang Yi stepped forward and wanted to hand the gift box to the old lady, but the old lady didn't take it. The old lady had a disgusted expression on her face, and it was obvious that she didn't want to touch the box.
When Zhang Jinlong saw this scene, his heart was secretly refreshed.
An abandoned son, he dared to come to his grandmother's birthday banquet, and he didn't pee to show his virtue.
There was no way, Zhang Yi had to open the box by himself and show the gifts inside.
Seeing Zhang Yi's gift, Zhang Jinlong next to him immediately said it in the way of reading the gift list.
"Zhang Yi, a broken porcelain bowl for rice!"
As soon as these words came out, the relatives below burst into laughter.
is worthy of Zhang Yi, and really "lives up to expectations".
Zhang Yi ignored the ridicule and took out the white porcelain bowl from the box.
"Grandma, this is not a broken porcelain bowl, this is a white porcelain bowl from the Ding kiln of the Song Dynasty, I wish grandma a blessing like the East China Sea, and a longevity than Nanshan!"
Hearing the kiln, the old lady involuntarily glanced at it.
Song Dynasty kiln white porcelain, is the pinnacle of white porcelain in the past dynasties, she picked up the white porcelain bowl, start warm, although it is porcelain, but there is a touch to the texture of jade, there are dark lines on the white porcelain bowl, longevity peach pattern is lifelike, it is indeed a fine product.
Seeing that the old lady was looking at the white porcelain bowl, Zhang Jinlong was immediately unhappy.
Broken porcelain bowl, can it still be a good thing?
"Grandma, I think this broken bowl must be fake, don't listen to Zhang Yi's fooling. This must be a bargain he picked up from a stall to deceive you. Seriously, this is no different from a beggar bowl on the side of the road! ”
"Moreover, the porcelain bowl is still white, grandma, you have a big birthday today, what is it bad for him to send, he prefers to send white things, what does he mean? How unlucky this is! ”
Zhang Yi did not refute.
Instead, he walked straight to the Buddha of Amitayus and looked at it carefully.
"Zhang Yi! You...... What are you doing? That's the Amitayus Buddha I spent more than a million to invite for my grandmother, messing around with the Buddha of Longevity, do you want your grandmother to fold her life? ”
This is a bit of a curse, but in fact, Zhang Jinlong is a little weak-hearted.
Zhang Yi looked at Zhang Jinlong and smiled contemptuously.
"Take a modern inferior imitation to fool people, and only you Zhang Jinlong can do it."
"First, the surface color of this bronze Buddha is extremely gorgeous, even close to a mirror, and it is obvious that this is not gilt at all, it is a modern electroplating process. The rust characteristics of the surface have not changed either, which is the potion soaked out and deliberately old. ”
"Second, the Buddha statue of the Ming Dynasty, with a plump face, thin eyebrows and long eyes, a high nose, thin lips, a large forehead, and drooping ears, the open face of this Buddha statue not only does not conform to one feature, but also the facial expression is stiff and godless, which is completely the characteristic of modern counterfeiting workshops."
"Third, the back cover of the Buddha statue is an obvious modern electric welding process, but it is simply polished and old, and the fake can no longer be fake!"
"It's just this kind of thing, it's worth more than a million, I don't want a hundred!"
Zhang Yi's father opened an antique shop, he has been exposed to it since he was a child, although he is not good at antiques, but he can still distinguish such obvious and inferior imitations.
As soon as he heard this, the whole hall immediately exploded.
Zhang Jinlong's face was even more pale, and he couldn't wait to rush over and plug Zhang Yi's mouth.
"Zhang Yi, you ...... You know what, what nonsense? ”
"A fake is a fake, it's not true!"
"Your broken bowl is fake, what is the white porcelain of the kiln, isn't it just a broken bowl that asks for rice, take it away and ask for food, and take it to send to grandma, do you want grandma to go out and ask for food?"
"Uneducated!"
"You ......"
"Alright, stop arguing! Our Zhang family is also a family of collectors. The authenticity of antiques is not something you little dolls can determine! ”
Then, she looked at an old man with glasses next to her and said, "Expert Pei, let's take a look!" ”
"Okay."
Expert Pei is an antique appraisal expert, and those who can be called experts in the industry are very authoritative, and it is not difficult for him to distinguish between these two things.
The old lady's proposal made Zhang Jinlong's heart sink.
Originally, most of the birthday gifts received by the old lady every year were placed in the warehouse, and basically she would not take a second look, because there were too many, so Zhang Jinlong dared to make a fake to fool her.
It's good now, if the old lady really knows that she has made a fake, won't her old man be furious? I wonder if it will affect the heirs?
Thinking of this, Zhang Jinlong was anxious.
But now that Pei experts have begun to identify, it is too late.
It's all to blame on Zhang Yi!
Zhang Jinlong stared at Zhang Yi with an unkind gaze.
"Zhang Yi, we're not done with this!"
After expert Pei finished identifying the two things, he walked up to the old lady and whispered the appraisal results.
The relatives below also quieted down, waiting for the old lady to announce the results.
The old lady stood up.
Zhang Jinlong was a little untenable, he almost didn't dare to listen to it, just like what the old lady was going to say next, it was a sentence against him.
However, the old lady stood up, did not say a word, and fell to the ground with the white porcelain bowl.
There was a bang.
The white porcelain bowl was smashed to pieces.
Everyone present was taken aback.
Zhang Yi was also stunned.
What's going on?
"Expert Pei has already seen it, the Ming Yongle gilded Amitayus Buddha sent by the golden dragon is the real product during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty!"
"The white porcelain bowl of Song Ding kiln sent by Zhang Yi is a modern imitation!"
The old lady looked at Zhang Yi and glared at him, as if she was trembling with anger.
"Zhang Yi! You use this kind of broken bowl to fool the old body, should you be blind to the old body? He also said that the golden dragon's thing is fake, I think, you are just the same virtue as your father, and you are uneducated! ”
When the old lady said these words, even the expert Pei next to her was stunned.
Dingyao white porcelain bowl, how can it be an imitation? That's a boutique, and it's worth a lot! On the contrary, the gilded bronze Buddha, as Zhang Yi said, is a modern inferior imitation and worthless.
But Expert Pei is not a member of the Zhang family, so he won't talk much about this.
"Grandma, the white porcelain bowl is a real ......"
"Shut up! You slandered the golden dragon, and you dared to quibble, immediately kneel down to him and apologize! ”
The old lady slapped the table and roared, and none of the relatives below dared to say anything.
"Grandma, I think it's better to forget it, in front of so many people, let him kneel down to apologize to me, how embarrassing!"
Zhang Jinlong secretly smiled, ostensibly persuading the old lady. In fact, he knew that what the old lady had said, how could it be easily retracted?
"I won't apologize, the white porcelain bowl is real!"
Zhang Yi clenched his fists, and he didn't expect this result. Will Expert Pei be wrong? No, it won't! Is the Dingyao white porcelain bowl fake? Impossible!
In fact, the essence of the matter does not lie in the truth or falsehood.
If you want to add sin, why should you do it?
"Grandma, he can not kneel, but I will never forgive him for his attitude!"
Zhang Jinlong did not relent.
"Golden Dragon, you go over, sit down first!"
After the old lady finished speaking, she took a deep breath and looked at Zhang Yi again.
"Zhang Yi, since you don't want to apologize, forget it. Anyway, there's something important announced today, your dad can't come, so just listen to it! ”
Could it be that the main event is coming? The important thing is to announce the heir of the family?
Zhang Jinlong was excited.
If this is really the case, Zhang Jinlong feels that it must be himself, and there is no suspense.
With the spring breeze on his face, Zhang Jinlong looked at the old lady, but the old lady turned her attention to Zhang Yi again.
What's going on?
Announcing this kind of thing, what does the old lady look at Zhang Yi doing?
What does it have to do with him?
