Chapter 49: The Descendants of the Eunuchs
There were still many people waiting for the treasure appraisal at the jewelry store, and the three old men didn't drink much, and soon returned to the jewelry store with Shao Yifan.
Everyone is waiting, seeing the three old men come back, someone immediately came up to carry out the afternoon free treasure appreciation, this opportunity is really not much, especially the old man Ren Tianfang personally identified, there is no way for ordinary people to ask for it.
Shao Yifan studied behind him, and he did gain a lot, and there were really a few millions of treasures, all of which were placed on consignment in Fanchen Pavilion.
Shi Xie didn't know when he came back, and pulled a handful of Shao Yifan's hair from behind: "Boy, they are all mad, and they are going to make ghosts again in the afternoon, which will damage the reputation of your jewelry store!" β
"Huh? Not done yet? Shao Yifan was also a little angry.
"Well, Chen Zisong also came forward in person to find out a painting of their family's ancestor, it will be difficult for the old man!"
Shi Xie nodded: "There is also that they found a person, with two diamonds, and wanted to identify the package, consign it in our Fanchen Pavilion, and blackmail us, I heard that the diamond is more than four carats, the quality is good, and it is worth more than one million, so the thief is staring at it, don't consign his diamond for a while." β
"Shouldn't that be cheaper for them?"
Shao Yifan's eyes rolled, and he whispered a few words to Shi Xie, and then said with a smile: "You cooperate with Uncle Fei and do me a favor, as for that painting, I'll deal with them, we are from word measurement, they can't do it." β
Shi Xie laughed and left the stage.
It didn't take long for this to happen, and Shi Xie came back: "Boy, everything is arranged, it's really that big, no problem, that person is also a layman, and he won't show his stuffing." β
"Okay, I've worked hard to get old." Shao Yifan grinned.
At this time, a girl shouted: "What are you doing?" Shameless, why do you touch Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
A young man immediately said angrily: "I didn't touch you at all, I didn't even move when I was standing!" β
"You still don't admit it?"
The girl said angrily: "Shameless, people like you won't have any treasures, if you are not honest, I will call the police!" β
Everyone also laughed, and the following was lively.
"Boy, this thief is worse than you!"
Shi Xie leaned over and whispered: "When you stabbed that fat woman, you still used a mop, this thief directly touched someone's buttocks?" β
Shao Yifan also knew that Uncle Fei was playing tricks, and he was amused and laughed, Uncle Fei didn't have so many scruples, so he took advantage of the chaos.
"Here, that person is the appraiser of Chen Zisong's family, it seems that his name is Feng Qi."
The audience was in chaos, Shi Xie pointed to a middle-aged man who came to the stage and said: "That painting is very difficult to identify, the thief and I heard that the painter's name is missing a word, and I don't know the age, can your master do it?" β
Shao Yifan saw that the middle-aged man came up, nodded, and hurriedly came to the front.
"Isn't this the heyday Master Feng Qi?"
Old man Ren Tianfang knew him, and asked with a smile, "What else do you can't identify?" β
"Elder Ren, at my level, you also know that compared to you, it is too much worse, and even your apprentice may not be able to compare."
Feng Qi deliberately glanced at Shao Yifan, and said with a smile: "This painting is our family's ancestral, and we can't determine the age and the name of the painter, but this painting is very good, do you think you will do it yourself, or let your old apprentice come?" β
"Let's come on with the three of us old immortals!" Ren Tianfang knew that Shao Yifan was not good and had not yet learned, so he reached out and took the painting.
Open it and take a look, it's really very good, the name is the female official Na Liang Tu, in the four words on the following paragraph, you can only see the word Liu, and the two words of the seal behind, and the name of the painter has a word that can't be seen clearly.
Shao Yifan also followed it, and vaguely saw a faint layer of golden light, indicating that it was still very valuable, and his painting skills were indeed very good.
At this time, the old man Ren Tianfang said: "The two, judging from the paper and the scroll, it should be a painting of the Ming Dynasty, what do you see?" β
It is always necessary to determine the date first, this line is called the broken dynasty, and only after the date is accurate can we speculate who the painter is.
Gao Chen and Yang Xiao both nodded, and the two of them were the same as Ren Tianfang.
Shao Yifan didn't wait for the three old people to confirm, leaned over and said, "This painting is not valuable, is it your family's ancestral?" β
"Mr. Shao, is my painting worthless?"
Feng Qi suddenly stopped, handed the painting to Shao Yifan, deliberately pouted, and said loudly: "Everyone ask Mr. Shao to appraise it, you must get the true biography of Ren Lao, the gold in the morning is well appraised, you must know what era it is, and who is the writer?" β
"Of course I know, I have also learned one percent of my master's, and the appraisal is enough!"
Shao Yifan said with a smile: "This painting of yours is from the Ming Dynasty!" β
"You didn't listen to your master, did you?"
Feng Qihaha laughed: "Even if you are right, then who do you say is the painter of this painting, and how is the painting skill?" How much is it worth? β
"The painting skills are not very good, too average!"
Shao Yifan shook his head and said: "If you want to talk about painters, it's very famous, and everyone knows it!" β
"Oh?" Feng Qi was also stunned: "Since everyone knows it, it must be very famous, why do you say that this painting is not valuable?" β
"There's a reason for that, because he's not drawing!"
Shao Yifan then said aloud: "The author of this painting is, the factory manager of the East and West Factories in the Ming Dynasty, the great eunuch Liu Jin, painted casually, do you all know it?" β
As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of laughter below, Liu Jin is a famous eunuch, no wonder everyone knows it, but they don't know that Liu Jin can also paint?
Even Ren Tianfang, Gao Chen, and Yang Xiao laughed, they all knew that Shao Yifan was talking nonsense, and they were a little worried, although Feng Qi may not know who the painter is, but he always has to say the truth, this line of work is not random nonsense!
"Great eunuch Liu Jin?"
Feng Qi was also stunned: "What nonsense are you talking about?" Can Liu Jin draw? There must always be a basis, I also said that Liu Bang, the ancestor of Han Gao! β
"Then you're talking nonsense, it's not right in chronology, how did you get mixed up as an appraiser?"
Shao Yifan deliberately said a few words to him, and then continued: "Look at the name of this painting, the female official enjoys the cool picture, you know what a female official is, right?" There are some palace maids in the palace who are called female officials, right? β
Everyone knows this, and some people below echoed and shouted, saying that Shao Yifan is a master, what he said is right, and that Feng Qi is nothing, how many years are there between the Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty!
Feng Qi raised the bar, and Shao Yifan grabbed him and said a few words, but he couldn't get off the stage a little, and his face was flushed: "Boy, everyone knows about female officials, but what does this have to do with the great eunuch Liu Jin?" β
"It's a matter of common sense, which means you don't understand anything."
Shao Yifan said with a smile: "In ancient times, not to mention the inner courtyard of the palace, it was the home of a big official, and it was not just a casual visit, as soon as you entered the Hou Gate, it was as deep as the sea, and Xiao Lang was a passerby from then on, you have always heard of this sentence, right?" Can anyone draw a female official in the palace? β
Feng Qi was a little speechless now, it was indeed not something that could be painted casually.
"Even some court painters didn't dare to paint female officials, and they didn't dare to take them out of the palace if they secretly painted the works of palace maids."
Shao Yifan continued: "But the great eunuch Liu Jin is different, it can be said that the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, let alone painting female officials, even painting concubines, no one can do anything to him, other painters are simply impossible, let alone fall into your hands." β
"Yes, master!"
"Master Identification, amazing!"
"It is worthy of being Ren Lao's apprentice, and he is reasonable!"
Everyone didn't understand, but what Shao Yifan said made sense, and they immediately shouted below, all agreeing with Shao Yifan.
"I'm right, but the latter sentence may not be accurate."
Shao Yifan continued: "Since this painting appears in Master Feng's hands, there is only one possibility, their ancestors are eunuchs and can be brought out of the palace!" β
"Nonsense! Your ancestors are eunuchs! β
Feng Qi was stunned: "If our ancestors are eunuchs, where did we come fromΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· You're a little, you're nothing, you're hereΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Everyone couldn't laugh anymore, and no one could hear Feng Qi's words clearly.
"Actually, you know in your heart that what I said is right, but you just don't admit it!"
Shao Yifan waited for everyone's laughter to be a little quieter, and then he was amused: "Otherwise, you say, whose painting is this?" β
"Humph! If I knew, I would still be able to make you talk nonsense here? Feng Qi really didn't know, so he turned around and stepped down in anger, and he didn't identify it anymore.
Now everyone laughed even more, and they all said that Shao Yifan was a master of identification, and even the paintings of the great eunuchs could be identified.
Shao Yifan also smiled, and arched his hand at everyone, and then sat down.
At this time, someone came up to appraise the treasure, and the three old men of Ren Tianfang were also busy appraising people, but no one said Shao Yifan.
It didn't take long for Fei Hua to come back and pat Shao Yifan in the back: "Boy, complete the task, that guy touched someone's butt and beat it, but he didn't find it at all!" β
"You thief, are you having fun?"
Shi Xie laughed and teased: "The kid asked you to do me a favor, you went to touch someone's buttocks?" β
"Isn't that my strategy?"
Fei Hua also laughed: "Take advantage of the chaos, that diamond is indeed not small, I will send it back, and we will keep it for sale in the future!" β
Shao Yifan and Shi Xie were both amused, this line of work is Uncle Fei's housekeeping skills.
"Don't laugh, that kid is here!"
Fei Hua pointed to a young man walking up the stage and said: "It's him, if you tease him, maybe someone will come up to find trouble, and it will expose their conspiracy." β
Following the direction of Fei Hua's fingers, a young man less than thirty years old came up, holding a small box in his hand, and walked over and put it on the table: "This is our family's ancestral diamond, it is said that it was bought from the Persians, this is the only one, weighing 4.5 carats, you give a price, if it is suitable, I will consign it to our jewelry store." β
"Master, I'm okay with diamonds!"
Shao Yifan squeezed up, opened the box, deliberately picked up a magnifying glass on the table and looked at it carefully, and then he laughed: "Big brother, you are not a diamond, but a crystal!" Crystals are everywhere, not to mention 4.5 carats, even 45 carats, which are not uncommon, and they are not worth much! β
"Huh?"
The young man was stunned for a moment: "Impossible, are you mistaken?" Do you understand? β
"My apprentice should be right!"
The old man Ren Tianfang took it and said: "You are not a diamond, there is no flickering light in the sun, you can see it at a glance, this is a crystal!" β
