Chapter 42: Goldfish Eyes

"You two go back and sit first, I'll come back later!"

Chen Xuan even spoke with a trilling voice at this time, if he could find the person who saved him in the first place, all the mysteries might be solved!

Hurriedly trotted up to catch up with Tao Liufeng, "Old man, I think it's more appropriate for me to go over and toast you with a glass of wine." ”

Chen Xuan scratched his head and smiled, although his heart was extremely excited, his face did not show the slightest.

Yu Guang secretly glanced at the old man with the jade pendant on his waist, and saw that the other party did not look at his expression unusually.

The stakes are high, so you have to be on the safe side of things, and you can't be impulsive.

"That's naturally the best, let's go, I'll introduce a few of my friends to you!"

Tao Liufeng was naturally full of joy, and it was a thing worth showing off and bragging about to be able to meet such a young man.

Entering the private room, there are some old people who know from the appearance that they are playing with art, Tao Liufeng introduced them to Chen Xuan one by one, and the people sitting here are some antiques or paintings or calligraphy.

When they heard Tao Liufeng say what happened just now, they also stared at Chen Xuan in amazement.

"It seems that there are really talented people in the country, I didn't expect to have such attainments at a young age, today a few of our old people are fortunate to meet such young talents, it is also a fortunate thing, come, a few of our old people respect this young descendant a cup!"

One of them raised his glass and proposed, and everyone agreed, and those who play art are inevitably arrogant, but they will also be very enthusiastic in the face of people who are really powerful.

Chen Xuan also behaved very politely, speaking and behaving politely, neither humble nor arrogant, without losing the humility of the younger generation to the elders, which made the people present even more appreciated.

Chen Xuan's knowledge is very extensive, and he is not at all unnatural when he chats with a few people, and he quickly gets acquainted with everyone.

However, his attention has always been on the old man with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, in order to avoid startling the snake, Chen Xuan did not show much attention to him, but has been secretly observing.

This old man's name is Sun Heming, and he is also a well-known collector in China, Chen Xuan secretly observed for a long time, and quietly tried a few times, and found that there was nothing unusual about this old man, and he did not seem to know himself.

In other words, he may not be the one who saved him in the first place, but why does he have that jade pendant on his waist?

It seems that if you want to solve the mystery, this jade pendant is the most important.

After three rounds of drinking, Chen Xuan also completely integrated into the crowd, seeing that the time had come, he suddenly shouted at Sun Heming, and said casually, "Mr. Sun, I have heard of your name before, and a few of your collections can make me particularly greedy, if I have this honor, I must go to your mansion to visit and see it in person." ”

"Do you say you're going? Do you know who Mr. Sun is? Was his collection just taken out for people to see? ”

At this time, a young man sitting next to Sun Heming suddenly muttered disdainfully, this person was holding a small flat head, similar in age to Chen Xuan, and was born with fine skin and tender meat, who was Sun Heming's apprentice.

From the very beginning, this person didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and he didn't have a good face for Chen Xuan, perhaps because he felt uncomfortable seeing Chen Xuan being praised by everyone.

"Shut up!"

Sun Heming glanced at the young man and smiled at Chen Xuan, "With all due respect, if it were someone else, it would be a fool's dream to want to see my collections, but if Mr. Chen goes, I would be willing to take out those collections and discuss them with Mr. Chen." ”

These people who play art are very arrogant in their bones, and they are not willing to deal with "ordinary people", but for those who love this industry and have a certain degree of attainment, they are happy to share.

Chen Xuan not only praised Tao Liufeng, but also mentioned antiques just now, and some of the things he said were also quite insightful, which made Sun Heming admire, and he was naturally happy to make friends with him.

The young man snorted in utter displeasure, his face full of undisguised jealousy.

Chen Xuan definitely didn't have the heart to worry about this kind of person, and when he saw that the heat was almost over, he spoke: "Although compared to Mr. Sun, my level is not even fur, but there is something today, and I dare to ask the old man for advice." ”

"Oh? Mr. Chen, but it doesn't matter. Sun Heming said boldly.

Chen Xuan naturally pointed to the jade pendant hanging on the other party's waist, and said suspiciously, "Although it can't be compared with Mr. Sun, I usually like to ponder the way of antiques, and I can be regarded as having some knowledge, but the jade pendant hanging on the old man's waist looks quite special, I have never seen it before, if it is convenient, can I let the younger generation take a look?" ”

"Hehe, you really dare to say it!"

Before Sun Heming could speak, the young man next to him sneered, "I'm embarrassed to say that you know a little bit about fur, I think you are not ashamed to speak, and you don't even understand the most basic rules, this is Teacher Sun's personal favorite, don't you know that you are very rude to say this?" ”

This time, Sun Heming did not scold the young man, but looked at Chen Xuan with a strange look.

"Huh? Am I doing something wrong? ”

Chen Xuan said respectfully, "I still hope to the old gentleman Haihan, if the juniors collide somewhere, please make it clear that the juniors are really unintentional." ”

"I don't blame you."

Sun Heming waved his hand generously and said, "This rule is also paid attention to in our faction, so most people don't know it." ”

Saying that, Sun Heming explained, "This jade pendant was handed down to me by my master and his old man, and it is also the inheritance treasure of our faction, which cannot be easily eye-catching. ”

"Oh, that's it, forgive the juniors for being rude, and please ask the old gentleman Haihan."

Chen Xuan didn't show urgency, he was afraid of revealing clues, his brain was running rapidly, even if he couldn't watch this jade pendant here, even if he used some indiscriminate means in the future, he had to find out the ins and outs of this thing, the stakes were very high, and he couldn't take too much care of it.

"However, if Mr. Chen is really interested, I can make an exception for you."

Sun Heming suddenly laughed.

"Teacher, you ......"

As soon as the young man next to him was about to interject, Sun Heming raised his hand to signal the other party to shut up, and continued to smile at Chen Xuan, "It's just that, according to the rules, you have to pass three levels." ”

"Pass three levels?"

Chen Xuan arched his hand and said, "Please also ask the old gentleman to make it clear!" ”

The young man next to him snorted coldly and answered, "Let's take out three collections, if you can tell the way of these three things, even if you pass the test, but if you have one eye-catching, you have to kneel down and kowtow to our inheritance treasure, which can be regarded as making amends to the ancestors, I don't know if you dare to take it!" ”

Sun Heming also squinted and nodded, "Please don't get angry, Mr. Chen, this is indeed the rule of this sect." ”

"In this case, the juniors want to have the courage to give it a try!"

Chen Xuan didn't think about it at all, and arched his hand, "The younger generation doesn't want to miss such a good learning opportunity, even if he loses, it's not a shame to kowtow to Master Zu a few times." ”

"Good! Good! Good! The afterlife is terrifying! ”

Sun Heming was so excited that he said three good words in a row, his eyes were full of undisguised appreciation, but the face of the young man next to him was even more ugly, and his two eyes were full of jealousy, as if he wanted to swallow Chen Xuan.

"Be careful, don't break it!"

At Sun Heming's signal, the young man was very unhappy and took out a folding fan and put it on the table.

Everyone also watched this scene with great interest.

Chen Xuan unhurriedly took the folding fan in his hand, and did not rush to open it, but put it in his hand and checked it, and said with a smile, "Good thing, if I guess correctly, this should be a painting by Master Wang Shigu!" ”

As soon as this remark came out, it was shocked!

Sun Heming's eyes widened even more, and he said incredulously, "Dare to ask Mr. Chen, you haven't even opened the fan, how did you know that this is Wang Shigu's painting?" ”

Chen Xuan explained with a smile, "That's the case, I can be regarded as a little clever, the handle of this folding fan is thick, the color is moist, and the texture is warm, which is a typical lacquer rubbing process." ”

"And this process is a typical court technique in the Kangxi period, plus some details, it can be judged that this is a folding fan in the Kangxi period."

Saying that, Chen Xuan paused slightly, and then said with a smile, "The reason why I judged that it was Wang Shigu's painting was very simple, with Mr. Sun's name, if you want to collect the folding fans of that era, I think that except for the paintings of Wang Shigu in that era, I am afraid that nothing else will be able to enter your eyes, so I dare to judge that this is a painting of Master Wang Shigu during the Kangxi period!" ”

As he spoke, he gently opened the folding fan, and what caught his eye was a lifelike ink painting, and the inscription and seal were indeed Wang Shigu!

"It's incredible!"

Sun Heming's face was red with excitement, he stood up and bowed to Chen Xuan, and said excitedly, "I didn't expect Mr. Chen to have such attainments, just now the old man underestimated you, admire, admire!" ”

The rest of the people also applauded, Tao Liufeng was even more proud, it was obvious that it was an extremely honorable thing to introduce such a young talent to everyone.

"You're in luck!"

The young man said indignantly, "But next time I don't know if you're so lucky!" ”

As he spoke, he was ready to move on to the next collection, and these antique players always carry some small objects with them.

Sun Heming raised his hand and said, "In front of Mr. Chen, you don't need to take out these small objects, bring those pair of goldfish eyes to Mr. Chen." ”

"Goldfish eyes?"

The young man was stunned, and suddenly realized, and hurriedly took out a pair of walnuts, put them on the table and said, "Then take a look at the origin of this pair of goldfish eyes!" ”

Chen Xuan looked at the young man's expression, then smiled and took the pair of walnuts in his hand and looked at them carefully for a moment.

Then he spoke again and said in a surprising voice, looking up at Sun He and shouting, "Mr. Sun, you were joking with me just now, this walnut is not a goldfish eye at all." ”
