I pondered it a little more and realized where the strange feeling came from. Yao Xiangzi is Yaolai's grandfather, and Xu Yicheng calls him Uncle Xuanmen. In other words, Xu Yicheng is a generation higher than Yaolai, Liu Yiming, and Huang Kewu. Extrapolated in this way, my father Xu Heping and Yao, Liu, and Huang are three contemporaries, that ...... If the medicine is not, and the medicine is not still smoking, isn't it my son and nephew?

This generation is a bit messy......

There is no blood relationship between the five veins. However, the bright-eyed plum blossoms are the same as the branches, so the generations of this generation are very particular. But why hasn't anyone ever mentioned it to me? Not to mention anything else, Yanyan is just getting along with me, isn't this a love affair with my niece?

I thought about it for a long time, and finally came to a conclusion: it is estimated that my grandfather made a clerical error, and it was a manuscript after all. If it was really such a big difference in generation, the rest of the Five Veins would have reminded me a long time ago.

I watched it for most of the day, and when I was dizzy, the medicine didn't push the door in. He looked tired, and it seemed that the day had not been idle. He put down the bag in his hand and told me that the whereabouts of the lid jar of the "Three Visits to the Thatched House" had been clarified.

I hurriedly asked where it was, but Yao didn't smile coldly: "This thing is interesting." ”

It turned out that it was not the people of the medicine family who borrowed the lid of the story of the blue and white "Three Visits to the Thatched House", but the Shen family of the Qingzimen, or the patriarch Shen Yunchen himself spoke. For this matter, the medicine family also convened a family meeting and unanimously agreed to lend it temporarily. The Shen family sent the collateral according to the rules, made an IOU, and even did the notarization, and the formalities were complete.

No wonder the medicine is not the second uncle, when he sneaked into the other hospital, he complained that outsiders could borrow it, why couldn't his own people borrow it.

"Then why did Shen Yunchen borrow this lid jar?" I asked. The blue character door is playing with wood, how can you come to borrow porcelain?

Yao is not saying: "If it's interesting, it's interesting here." Isn't Wumai commercializing now? The Shen family is the most active. Recently, Shen Yunchen held a Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture fair in Hangzhou, with great fanfare, and wanted to make antique furniture, so he wanted to borrow the 'Sangu Thatched House' lid jar to fill the façade. ”

The relationship between porcelain and wood is very close. The furnishings of antique furniture are very particular, with bronze Taiyin, calligraphy and painting are too light, jade and gold should not be more, only with porcelain is the most natural. Porcelain inkstone porcelain pot on the table, porcelain bottle porcelain carving on the shelf, incense porcelain stove, screen porcelain jar, porcelain pillow on the bed, porcelain plate in the cupboard. Therefore, there is a saying in the antique industry, called "porcelain lining wood, wooden porcelain", and no one can do without each other.

The Shen family and the pharmacist often borrow utensils from each other to help them, and they are accustomed to it, and there is nothing suspicious. The blue and white "Sangu Thatched House" lid jar is a rare treasure, placed at the gate of the expo, the grade immediately went up, and it is definitely a thing to add luster to.

"In addition to the 'Three Visits to the Thatched House' character jar, Shen Yunchen also borrowed more than 20 other pieces, all of which were treasured by the pharmacists. It is estimated that she secretly gave a lot of benefits in exchange for the unanimous consent of these people in the medicine family. But she is not at a loss, these utensils are priceless, topical, and can attract great attention with a little operation in the media. ”

It's not that he doesn't understand porcelain, but he understands business, and he can see through Shen Yunchen's drunkard meaning at a glance.

After experiencing the "Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival", I realized how powerful the media is. Shen Yunchen, as the most business-minded person in this generation, must have been carefully planned to bring the value of everything to the extreme.

"When did you borrow this porcelain jar?" I asked suddenly.

"Half a month ago, it should have been shipped to Hangzhou by now."

I let out an "oh", which at least proves that the matter of borrowing the jar has nothing to do with the old court. Half a month ago, I didn't know that Yao and I hadn't met yet, and I didn't know about the existence of the character Wucan. It is impossible for the old courtier to predict the prophet, and borrow the jar in advance for us to empty.

Yao nodded approvingly: "That's why I insist, only trust the clues I dug up." You're finally starting to think rationally. ”

Get...... Let him say everything.

It is determined that Shen Yunchen's borrowing of the jar has nothing to do with the old court, and the next thing is very simple. We don't need to possess the jar, but we want to take a closer look, just go to Hangzhou and take a look.

"What about the other four jars?" I asked if the medicine was not. The medicine family has the most extensive connections in the porcelain industry, and if they want to hear this kind of news, they can only rely on their network.

Yao didn't shake his head: "Not yet, but there should be a reply in a few days." ”

That being the case, without further ado. Yao didn't pick up the phone immediately, and asked the hotel to book two air tickets. It was a good time to have a trip in the evening. So we didn't delay and quickly started packing our things. I'm very happy with this kind of work efficiency. I don't have much savings, so it's too convenient to have a local tyrant partner.

"How's your book going?" Didn't the medicine be halfway packed, and suddenly asked.

"It's done." I replied simply with three words, avoiding mentioning the learning effect.

"You'll have to hurry up and learn, my intuition tells me that the key to success in the future is probably in the expertise of porcelain."

"Even if you say so, it doesn't happen overnight. Other masters touch thousands of objects a year, and only dare to say appraisal for decades, how can I compete with others just by looking at these? ”

Yao Fei frowned, raised his arm, and said with a hint of anger: "Make a wish, this is a war." Those who are hung up will definitely fail. ”

Seeing that he was getting serious, I didn't bother to brush the tiger's whiskers, and said in a loud voice: "Okay, okay, I'll try to hurry up and watch it, okay?" Isn't it just then that he turned around and continued to pack his box. In his suitcase, except for a suit, the only exception was a light blue striped pajamas, which, by the way, seemed to be happy to wear in the morning.

"Hey, by the way, what the hell is going on with you and Happy?" My gossip heart suddenly opened.

Yao didn't turn his back to me, his movements paused for a moment, and he replied without looking back: "We are already people from two worlds, and we can only wish each other well." I sighed, I thought it was a pity, I was glad to be a good girl.

"People from two worlds still sleep together? If you work harder, you might be able to get it back. I said.

Yao Fei said: "This time our opponent is Lao Chaofeng, there is no need to involve her." ”

"You're going to die with a duck's mouth." I teased. For some reason, in my heart, I suddenly thought of Kana Kido for no reason. After she returned home, we didn't contact each other again. I don't know how she's doing in Japan. I subconsciously looked out the window, the sunset outside was like blood, and I still remember her appearance clearly.

This time, it was Yao Yao's turn to look at me with a look of suspicion: "You won't be happy too, will you?" ”

"What do you want?!" I almost spurted out a mouthful of blood.

We packed our bags, went straight to the airport, and rushed from Beijing to Hangzhou overnight. There were no twists and turns along the way, which is a good sign.

As the saying goes: "There is heaven above, and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below." "The weather in Hangzhou is much wetter than in Beijing. As soon as I stepped off the plane, I felt my nostrils and throat moistened, and it was very comfortable. The wet little crisp breeze blew, and the whole body was indescribably comfortable. The ancients had a poem, "The warm wind smokes the tourists drunk", and the description is really accurate - it is really easy to get drunk.

In the eyes of people in the antique industry, Hangzhou is a very special existence. From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, from the Yuan, Ming and Ming dynasties to the Qing Dynasty, this area was known for its wealth and prosperity, which promoted a rich and exquisite material life and was the representative of Jiangnan culture. Therefore, Hangzhou is the general hub of antiques in the Jiangnan cultural circle, with the life and cultural goods of the families in the Ming and Qing dynasties. What calligraphy and painting, book plaques, porcelain furniture, Buddha statues, treasures, jewelry, all are exquisite and delicate. If the quality reaches the palace level, there may not be many, but the average level is much higher than that of other regions - Jiangnan people will enjoy it, or Zhengde and Qianlong will go down to Jiangnan at every turn.

There is a saying called "Jinyuyin, Shaanxi and Mi Jiangnan". Henan and Shaanxi are important antique towns, which can be called gold and silver; Although the rice in the south of the Yangtze River is cheap, it is indispensable, and the profit is not necessarily smaller than the first two. Therefore, the antique connoisseur who is good at business is a must-come to Hangzhou.

The Shen family engaged in the Ming and Qing Dynasty furniture exhibitions and chose to hold the expo in Hangzhou, which is very suitable.

When I entered Hangzhou, I asked if Yao was not: "How can I inquire about the location of the expo?" Didn't the medicine look at me sympathetically and say, "Do you still need to ask?" Your mind needs a lot of training. Then he walked to the newsstand next to him and bought a copy of the "Qianjiang Evening News" of the day, and there was a large advertisement on the fourth page: "The Afterglow of the Ancient Country - Ming and Qing Dynasty Furniture Fair and Treasures Exhibition", which was located in the Zhejiang Exhibition Hall next to the Canghe River, and the opening time happened to be the day after tomorrow.

Medicine is not a shake of the newspaper: "Shen Yunchen held this expo just to build momentum, and he must spend a lot of money to publicize it through various channels, lest others not know." If we still need to inquire about it, then her propaganda strategy will be too unsuccessful. ”

I admit that he has a point, but I can't help but remind: "The whereabouts of the two of us must be kept strictly secret. How to approach the jar without alarming the Shen family, have you thought about a way? ”

Yao didn't look at me in wonder: "This expo is open to the public, anyone can go." Let's buy two tickets, and when ordinary visitors go in and see it, can't we get it? ”

I blushed and decided not to speak again.

We waited patiently for two days. We can't go on the first day of the opening, there are too many people, and there is an opening ceremony, the elders of the Shen family and the medicine family will definitely appear, and the probability of us being recognized is relatively high. The next day, the number of visitors was normal, the security vigilance was reduced, and we had a relatively larger room for activities.

I had planned to take advantage of this rare free time to go to the Hangzhou Museum or the West Lake. As a result, under the staring of Yao Fei, I had to stay in the hotel obediently and continue to study "Xuanci Chengjian".

The news of the opening of the expo, I watched it on TV, and the specifications were quite high. Red flags were displayed, gongs and drums were noisy, leaders at all levels of Hangzhou City went, and the mayor made a special speech. Shen Yunchen stood next to him, clapping his hands incessantly, and his spirit was high. She is the most active in responding to the commercialization of Wumai, and she is also the first to achieve fruitful results.

However, I followed the camera lens and swept around, but I didn't see Liu Yiming. It is said that he is the head of the five veins, and he is the driving force behind the commercialization of the five veins, so he should attend such an important occasion. I think it's probably because I'm too old, the old people of that generation are slowly fading out of this stage, and the years are not forgiving.

The news was only about 20 seconds, and after I finished reading it, it happened that the medicine was not coming back, and I still had two newly bought tunics in my hands: one light gray and one navy blue.

"Tomorrow we will go in these two pieces and we will not be discovered."

"Good fellow, wear this, at least ten years old." I muttered, picking the light gray one, "If you get another soft hat, we will be more like political cadres." ”

Before I finished speaking, Yao didn't take out two dusty flat hats from his arms, and my face changed.

On the second day of the opening, the two of us came to the Zhejiang Exhibition Center early in the morning, waiting to line up for admission.

Zhejiang Exhibition Hall imitates the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, brick and stone structure, there is a main hall, two auxiliary halls, a total of three floors, the structure is symmetrical, tall, there are two large squares in the front and back, north and south, very much the momentum of the world. On the way, I heard the driver say that this pavilion was completed in the late sixties, and the name at that time was particularly long, called "Long Live the Red Sun Mao ** Thought in Our Hearts Long Live the Victory Exhibition Hall". Because the name is too long, Hangzhou people generally refer to it simply as Banzai Pavilion.

At the original top of this exhibition hall, there is a huge Mao ** statue medallion, and there is a bell tower behind the statue. As soon as it is on the hour, the bell tower will play "Dongfang Hong", so sometimes Hangzhou people simply call it the red sun. After the reform and opening up, this exhibition hall is oriented to the enterprise society, and often becomes the venue for industrial products and daily necessities exhibitions in and outside the province, and in 1989, there was also an antique jewelry exhibition, which caused a sensation. I guess Shen Yunchen's inspiration came from here.

At this time, there are a lot of people queuing, and the citizens want to come and see the excitement regardless of whether they understand it or not. The two of us lined up at the main entrance, in front of which was a huge inflatable rainbow door, with a lot of colorful hydrogen balloons hanging on both sides, and next to it were more than 40 flower baskets sent by affiliated companies. Many children raised their hands and screamed, as if they were celebrating Children's Day. The front pedestal of the exhibition hall is lined with eight marble columns, each of which is wrapped in colored silk, and between the columns are hung with large red lanterns and banners.

The museum opened on time at half past nine, and the team slowly moved inside. At the entrance passage, there are two imitation bronze tripods. More than 20 beauties in deep cheongsams lined up, and the cheongsams were almost up to the thighs. When checking the ticket, the beautiful woman will smile sweetly, pick up the small gold-plated scissors with her small hands, cut it lightly on your ticket, and then say softly: "Sir, you go this way." ”

Every visitor who comes in feels like a VIP treatment. Shen Yunchen has really put a lot of effort into the details this time.

The exhibition hall is divided into several areas, one is the exhibition area, one is the negotiation area, and the other is the exhibition area. The exhibition area is the largest and occupies the middle of the pavilion, where all the real antiques are placed.

Most of the objects on display are ancient furniture from the Ming and Qing dynasties. I don't know much about woodware, but I can see that there are a lot of good things. For example, the town gate is a black lacquer inlaid luodian depicted gold flat off the double dragon play beads ten drawer cabinet, I remember that this piece is in the collection of the Forbidden City, the whole country is such a piece, also brought it. Many people gathered around, leaning over to look at the carvings on the cabinet. There is also an iron pear wood carving elephant pattern warping case, is the collection of Mr. Wang Shixiang, borrowed from the Shanghai Museum, the head and the plug are integrated, it is actually made of a single material, this kung fu is amazing.

The energy of the Shen family is really not small.

In order to match the antique artistic conception of the venue, the placement of these furniture is not simply arranged in a row, but separated by a black lacquer screen into a zigzag passage. Visitors are like being in a labyrinth, unable to see the whole picture at a glance, and can only walk along the screen, passing through room scenes along the way.

The order of the rooms is also in accordance with the layout of the large families in the past, the front hall, the main hall, the study, the banquet hall, the back hall, and the bedroom are gradually unfolded, and different styles of furniture are placed in it according to living habits, as if the owner is living here. The exhibition hall is very large, and although there are many visitors, it is not crowded at all.

The two of us pretended to look at a few pieces and began to look around for the jars. Looking absentmindedly all the way, we unconsciously walked to the deepest part of the exhibition hall.

This is a separate display area, separated on three sides by boxwood windows with carved lotus lattices. In the middle is a single-board robe couch, on which there is a Ruyi cloud-headed red sandalwood kang table, and a piece of broken flower lake wrinkled mattress and a large pillow are also laid on the couch. This is a guest arrangement, and the meeting is still close to the guests, and you can go directly to the bed to talk. Behind the head stood a Luodian maid holding eight screens. In front of the couch, there are two teak inlaid porcelain heart round stools, two lotus leaf high-legged six-legged incense tables, a five-screen mirror table, and a silver-covered chest and pineapple wood tea shelf in the distance.

In order to add to the effect, there are two Boshan stoves on the incense table, and incense is really lit inside. The cigarette smoke wafted, and the air of wealth and nobility of the family was revealed between the wisps.

It can be seen that this is the core part of the exhibition hall. The whole arrangement is graceful and luxurious, and the ceiling light is specially used to illuminate, which is even more extraordinary.

I'm afraid that all of the furniture in front of me has a history, but I can't see the mystery. The only thing that strikes me strange is that the exhibitors mix together objects from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and the overall appearance is not so harmonious.

The stylistic differences between the furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties are quite obvious. Ming-style wood is simple, elegant and simple, with almost no decoration, and looks refreshing and neat; The furniture of the Qing Dynasty is thickly carved and heavily decorated, with complex beauty, but it is more bloated and flashy than the Ming style.

The two kinds of furniture are placed together, just like Yongzheng porcelain and Qianlong porcelain in porcelain, the style is too different, and even the medicine can be seen to be incongruous. I really don't know what the Shen family thinks.

Of course, our real attention is not here, but the gap between the Luohan couch and the eight screens. There was a large blue and white lid jar, about thirty centimeters high and belly wide. Its bottom is obviously much higher, and it stands out in this pile of rosewood and huanghuali furniture.

I didn't look at Yao and leaned over there at the same time. Unfortunately, there was a thick red rope in front of him, and there was a sign that said "No Entry", so I could only stand outside and watch. The two security personnel on the left and right watched very closely.

We had no choice but to get as close as we could, press our bodies against the rope, and tiptoe to see the details of the jar.

The neck of the blue and white jar is water ripples, the shoulder is a peony with entwined branches, and in the widest belly of the jar, there is a figure of three visits to the thatched house: Zhuge Liang lupine scarf, sitting cross-legged under the Panasonic, next to a boy holding the piano and standing, and another boy making a gesture of retribution. On the other side, Liu Bei bowed respectfully under the willow tree and waited, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei were not angry, as if they were talking quietly. In the distance, Zhou Cang was carrying the Qinglong Yanyue Knife and was leading the Red Rabbit Horse forward.

The demeanor of the people is vivid, the painting is quite exquisite, and the pen is a Danqing master.

The two jars are almost the same in addition to the different figures, both of which are full shoulders and round bellies, wide and shallow circles, and the upper and lower decorations are exactly the same. I thought about it for a while and found that judging from the brushstrokes, the painting style of glazing and the Guiguzi down the mountain jar are like the hand of one person. It can be judged that these two jars must be hooked by the same hand, produced by the same kiln, and belong to the same set.

As for the authenticity of this jar, there is no need to say much. Its glaze is white, but the glaze is blue, which is painted with imported Su Ma Liqing material, which is extremely difficult to fake. It's not that I'm showing off my knowledge, it's a little skill I just learned from "Xuanci Chengjian", and I'm just learning and selling it now.

We tried to lean forward, but the security guard immediately came over and stopped drinking. The two of us had no choice but to pick up our cameras – fortunately they didn't forbid it – and snapped dozens of photos.

We had enough photos and went back to the commentary board. This time, because it was for the public who did not understand antiques, the Shen family carefully placed an explanation board next to each piece of furniture or cultural relics, with the name, age and brief introduction on it. In the eyes of connoisseurs, this introduction is too brief, but to ordinary people, it is enough to let them know how precious this thing is.

On the name plate of this jar, it reads: Blue and white "Sangu Thatched House" character picture jar, Ming Dynasty. Then he said a bunch of words about how exquisite the workmanship was, which fully reflected the wisdom of the ancient working people of our country.

I suddenly wondered, why did the medicine family conclude that it was in the Ming Dynasty?

Also, Lao Chaofeng's subordinates are divided by mountains, and Lao Xu on Wei Hui's side is from Guiguzi Mountain, so will there also be a mountain, called Maolu or Zhuge Liang? Do the other three jars also represent a mountain? Why does the old courtier miss these jars?

Countless questions have come out. I held the cord in my hand, my brow furrowed unexpectedly.

When I pondered this, Yao didn't just keep a straight face, observing the surroundings and furnishings, and sometimes holding up his camera and taking a few pictures of the security guards and the ceiling, like a spy.

The two of us were busy, and there were more and more visitors around, and there were even a few groups of elementary and middle school students, so that the teacher led them to walk forward in a line. These students are chattering and noisy, and the teachers are busy managing the children. Suddenly, a tiger-headed child slipped through the rope and ran inside. A little girl with two bars on her arm next to her shouted: "Teacher, Wang Xiaomao is running away again!" ”

When the teacher looked back, his face turned white with fright. These are genuine antiques, and it would be a shame if one of them were really broken by the naughty man. She didn't dare to cross the rope, her apricot eyes stared, and her voice was so nervous that she was deformed: "Wang Xiaomao, come back to me quickly!" ”

The child named Wang Xiaomao heard the teacher's shout, hesitated, but did not stop, and still ran forward. The security personnel also panicked and tried to get ready to cross the rope and pull him back.

Suddenly, a black shadow suddenly jumped in front of my eyes, faster than the security guards, three steps and two steps, reaching out to grab Wang Xiaomao's collar. Wang Xiaomao lowered his body and hid next to the Luohan couch, and the black shadow seemed to have calculated his escape route, moved his body sideways in advance, and lifted him out at once. I looked at it, and it was actually medicine.

The medicine didn't come out with a calm face and threw Wang Xiaomao to the ground. The teacher ran over and grabbed him in the ear and shouted a reprimand. As if he had been greatly wronged, Wang Xiaomao lay down on the spot and cried loudly. His classmates all gathered around, gossiping, and the masses who did not know the truth accused adults of bullying children, and the scene was chaotic.

"I can't see that you are so agile that you can go to make martial arts movies." I joked. The medicine is not but there is no joke in mind: "There is something wrong with this kid." ”

"Huh? How? ”

"Most children are naughty and run aimlessly. But as soon as the child jumped over the isolation rope and went straight to the side of the Luohan couch. Besides, a child, no matter how naughty he is, if he hears the teacher calling him back, he will be a little hesitant, right? But he ran faster. ”

"Does he have another purpose?" I thought about it along the lines of thought that medicine was not, and I was taken aback.

"That's right, he didn't run blindly at all, his goal was the 'Three Visits to the Thatched House' character lid jar."

I thought back to the process just now, and sure enough, that Wang Xiaomao ran in a straight line from the beginning, and the end point was the lid jar between the screen and the Luohan couch. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but exclaim: "Could it be that this kid is planning to steal the jar?" ”

As soon as the words came out, I realized that something was wrong. In plain sight, how could a small guy steal such a large jar. Even if he is allowed to take it casually, he will not be able to take it away.

Yao Ran said coldly: "It's impossible to take it away, but it's possible to smash it." ”

Instead of resting directly on the floor, the lid jar of the "Three Visits to the Thatched House" is placed on a wooden flat tray bracket that fits perfectly into the hoop foot. This is to protect the fragile hoop foot from wear or bumps. The carriage was about 20 centimeters high, and if someone deliberately pushed it, it was easy to tip the jar to the ground. At this height, it's hard to say that it's hard to fall apart, and it's certain that it will be torn apart.

"What kind of hatred can this kid have with that jar?" I'm a little confused.

"I'm afraid that someone behind the instigation wants to destroy the jar with the hands of the child!"

That's not the case, I knew it in my head. This is really a good calculation, through the hands of a child, it can be made into an accident, no one would have thought that there would be someone behind a child instigated.

I turned around and looked at Wang Xiaomao, who was still crying loudly, and the doubts in my heart continued unabated.

Who is going to kill this jar? More importantly, it happened at the time of our visit, was it a coincidence or a deliberate attempt?

I didn't exchange glances with Yao. I walked over and pushed the crowd away. The female teacher was still training him hysterically, and a series of Hangzhou local scolding was about to come out, louder than the child's crying.

I said to the female teacher, "Comrade, stop scolding. He's still a child, and you hurt his self-esteem so badly. ”

"What a self-esteem to hurt! If he did break something, it would really hurt me...... No, it's a miserable mess for the school. The teacher was furious, she knew that this place was full of genuine treasures, and if she broke one of them, she would not be able to afford it for the rest of her life with her salary.

"It's not like it didn't break. You are a soul engineer, you can criticize education, don't simply and rudely curse. I persuaded the crowd of onlookers around me to express their opinions, and the teacher finally shut his mouth. I touched Wang Xiaomao's head, took him out a few steps without a trace, separated from the crowd, and then squatted down and handed over a handkerchief: "Little guy, don't cry, come, wipe your snot and tears clean." ”

When the female teacher and the onlookers saw me wearing a Mao suit, they thought it was an enthusiastic cadre coaxing the child, but they were not suspicious. The visitors dispersed, the female teacher went to negotiate with the security guards, and the other children stood honestly in place, not daring to touch any moldy heads.

Wang Xiaomao wiped his tears with a handkerchief and stopped sobbing. I smiled and asked, "Little friend, my uncle asked you, why did he let you knock down that porcelain jar?" ”

"I don't know!" Wang Xiaomao shook his head.

The corners of my lips are slightly curled, how easy is it to deal with children. I didn't ask if anyone taught you to do this, but I asked him why he asked you to do it, which is a very important conversation skill in the antiques industry, called wall gouging, which can carve out a business opportunity for customers who don't have the heart to buy something - and now I use it to bully children.

Wang Xiaomao had no scheming, and I was tricked out of the truth at once. He said he didn't know, so he naturally admitted that there was someone behind him.

"Toppling a jar is a very serious crime. If you don't tell the truth, you will be sent to a work-study school, and you will not be able to see your parents in the future. "I'm half threatening, half persuasive.

Wang Xiaomao seemed to be frightened, he was stunned for a while, and then cried again with "wow". I wiped his tears with a handkerchief and said kindly, "As long as you tell the truth, you will be fine." The teacher also said that you should be an honest child, right? ”

So Wang Xiaomao sobbed and described the previous events. It turned out that after school yesterday, a person on the road found him and took out a Transformer, saying that you are going to visit the Zhejiang Exhibition Hall tomorrow, right, there is a big jar in that exhibition hall, if you go to push it down and break it, I will give you this Transformer.

Wang Xiaomao didn't know the value of the blue and white jar, he especially wanted that transformer, and felt that for it, even if he was given a lecture by the teacher, it was worth it, so he agreed.

"Do you know that person?" I asked.

Wang Xiaomao shook his head.

"Do you remember what he looked like?"

Wang Xiaomao said: "It's a grandfather, tall, wearing sunglasses and no beard. He couldn't say anything else. I stood up, asked him to go back to the group, and asked the female teacher about the child. The female teacher trusted me a lot, and poured out a lot of bitter water, saying that this child was stubborn, always getting into trouble, and his academic performance was a mess, and he didn't change anything.

Obviously, this was planned in advance. Wang Xiaomao is usually playful and bold in school, and he doesn't know the severity, and he can be bribed to push the jar with a transformer. This thing has become the best, and it will not attract special attention if it is not successful, and the children are messing around.

It seems that this jar has endangered the interests of some people, and it must be solved in such an extreme way as smashing.

I went back to the medicine and told him what I thought. Yao Wei pinched his chin and thought for a while, and burst out with two words: "Agreed." ”

Hey, I've become a leader.

"It's not that I'm not without gains." Yao didn't say, "Just now I took the opportunity to rush into the isolation rope, and I took a closer look at the lid jar, and there seemed to be a white mouth on Zhuge Liang's right sleeve. ”

My eyes widened, and I quickly looked over that direction as well. It's a pity that after the turmoil just now, the security guards are obviously much stricter than just now, and any approach will be stopped in advance.

I looked back and asked if the medicine was not sure? Yao didn't nod, then shook his head again, saying that he couldn't be 100% sure.

On Wei Hui's imitation of Guiguzi down the mountain jar, we noticed that there was a white mouth on the sleeve of Guiguzi, and the meaning was unknown. It can't be a flaw, it's an inherent part of the genuine product. We don't have the genuine product of the "Guiguzi Descending the Mountain" jar in our hands, and there is no way to compare, so whether there are the same white traces on the "Sangu Thatched House" jar is of great significance.

"Let's get here today first, and then we'll talk about it when we get back." Medicine didn't look at the crowd, and by noon, the number of visitors began to gradually increase.

I swept through the banners of the antique furniture exhibition, and suddenly an inspiration rose in my heart, and I grabbed the medicine: "How much money did you bring?" "The medicine is not inexplicable, ask me if I want to do it. I said, "Leave it alone, how much money did you bring?" "I didn't take out my wallet and count it, there were 2,000 yuan, 500 dollars, and more than 1,000 foreign exchange coupons. I did the math, said enough, and dragged him out.

We left the exhibition area and went straight to the exhibition area. This area is also full of Chinese furniture, but all of them are imitations and are sold to the public. It was crowded inside, and many salespeople were sweating profusely to deal with enthusiastic customers.

Identifying an antique piece of wood, not much money; Sell an antique piece of woodwork, and the profit is also unstable. Although the profit of antique furniture sales is thin, the volume is large, as long as the marketing is done properly, the daily turnover figure is amazing, much higher than the income from operating antiques.

Shen Yunchen's business idea relies on the wood heritage of Qingzimen to promote furniture sales. Do you think, the furniture sold by wood experts can be wrong in terms of quality?

I sighed as I squeezed forward. I finally squeezed to the front of the exhibition area and shouted to a salesman: "I want to order 200 sets of rosewood official hat chairs." ”

The salesman was dealing with several inquiries when he heard my shout, and his eyes lit up. He called a colleague to introduce him, and then leaned his head over: "You want to order 200 sets?" ”

"Yes, two hundred sets. The tertiary production of our unit should be used. I held up two fingers and nodded vigorously.

If this salesman is clever enough, you can get a lot of information from my few words: buy the third production of the unit, which means that the unit is very large and not bad for money; Two hundred pieces of red sandalwood's official hat chairs are what only laymen would say. Although red sandalwood is not as precious as golden silk nanmu, it is not a casual way to take out 200 genuine pieces. I shouted out 200 sets of rosewood official hat chairs, obviously I don't understand this industry at all.

For the layman with deep pockets, this is an opportunity that no business will ever let go. Sure enough, the salesman immediately came over and said earnestly that it was too noisy here, let's talk here. Then I took off the isolation rope and took me and the medicine in.

There are more than ten steps in the exhibition area, which is the negotiation area. The environment here is much better than the outside, surrounded by screens on all sides, in the middle is a circle of leather sofas and tea tables carved from tree roots, and there is a girl who specializes in ordering tea. This is to negotiate large business, and the guests are all big customers, so naturally they can't be lazy.

The salesman invited us to sit down, entertained us to make tea, and then said you want **200 pieces of rosewood official hat chairs? I said yes, the tertiary industry of our unit wants to open a high-end hotel, and it needs supporting furniture. The salesman let out an "oh" and pretended to be concerned: "If you use red sandalwood, the price will be very expensive." Then a number was said. When I heard this, I immediately looked embarrassed.

The salesman immediately said: "We do business based on integrity, and we can't cheat you in order to make money." If you are just buying seats for the hotel, I recommend that you buy purple elm wood, which is originally black and purple, and the surface is painted to imitate the color of red sandalwood, which looks the same as red sandalwood, which not only saves face, but also saves the lining. ”

It's a beautiful thing to say, it sounds reassuring, and it's completely for the customer's sake. I put on a look of embarrassment and said that this material is also a bit expensive, is there anything cheaper? The salesman has recommended Zhangjiakou's yellow elm, Luliang's walnut, Yunnan fir and so on, and I am too expensive to quote. The salesman was a little helpless, but he wanted to facilitate such a big deal, and asked, "What's your budget?" ”

I said a relatively low number, and the salesman thought about it quickly, and then quoted several budgeted woods for me to choose. I felt that the time was almost up, so I slapped the table and said, "I heard that birch is also very good, can you use it?" ”

I noticed the salesman's brow jump, and he barely suppressed it. I laughed in my heart, and after a great circle, I finally led him into the valley.

Birch is a material with good elasticity and bright color, but it has a fatal flaw - it is easy to break the stubble. To put it scientifically, it is called poor shear resistance, and it can't withstand fine processing. Therefore, there is almost no pure birch furniture, which is mixed with other materials to play an auxiliary role.

And the official hat chair I asked for was extremely fine in terms of workmanship. For example, the most popular Nanguan hat chair, shaped like the head of the Song Dynasty official, the back of the chair column and the brain, armrest junction to make a soft rounded corner, which is a very test of the details of the tenon and tenon socket, the woodworking pipe is called "digging tobacco bag pot", generally experienced masters to chisel.

Using birch wood as a material to make an official hat chair, the scrap rate will be surprisingly high. Even if you can barely make up two hundred sets, because the birch is easy to deform, you will have to destroy several sets if it rains.

The salesman was naturally reluctant to touch this moldy head, and persuaded him for a long time. I resolutely must use birch, he was unwilling to give up this big business, so he had to change the angle, and said: "Why do you have to use the official hat chair, you see this head sticking out so much on both sides, it takes up space, it is not easy to place, it is better to change a chair!" ”

I was a little reluctant, saying what other styles of chairs, the salesman said for a long time, from the chair, the Taishi chair to the lamp hanging chair, armchair, rose chair. I slapped me impatiently: "Seeing is believing." I just walked around your display area, and there seem to be a few decent chairs in it, why don't I take a closer look and study it? "The salesman was a little embarrassed, saying that the display area is full of antiques, you have to look at the style, we have a product catalog here.

I shook my head, if I want to see it, I have to see the original antique authenticity, otherwise I won't be at ease to buy it. The salesman was forced to do anything, took a step back, and said, "I'll take you to see it now?" "I flicked my head and said that we had just seen from a distance through the rope, and we couldn't see why, so we had to look closer.

The salesman quickly refused, saying that this was not in accordance with the rules, and antiques could not be approached casually. I took out all the cash that was not medicine and deliberately showed it in front of him: "I can place the deposit now, but I have to go to the display area to confirm the style." I don't want to take a closer look at the details you just mentioned, how can I figure it out. The unit asked me to purchase such a large amount of items, I have to be serious and responsible, right? ”

I pulled out a few more vouchers and said they could be used as tips. The salesman struggled inwardly for a long time, gritted his teeth, and leaned close to my ear: "There are too many people now, and it will definitely not work." Why don't you come later after the museum closes, and I'll sneak you over to have a look. ”

"Good!" Overjoyed, I handed the stack of vouchers to the salesman, and then paid a deposit—it wasn't my money anyway, so I didn't even pay back the price. When the salesman saw that the deposit was paid, he was completely relieved, made an appointment with us at a time and place, and then went to busy him.

When the two of us left the negotiation area, didn't the medicine look at me: "You know a lot about woodware, and those who don't know think that you are also from Qingzimen." I smiled, "I'm just following the wisdom of the ancients." ”

This is really not modest, those wood knowledge is not a profound knowledge, people who play with common sense, and play with antiques know it.

It's the technique that matters.

Today's method is also seen from a book. There was once an antique shop owner who wanted to snatch a rare three-headed jade pixiu from a jade craftsman's house, but the other party had been hiding it tightly and couldn't be sure. So the owner of the antique shop pretended to be a rich customer, took a piece of jade, and asked a jade craftsman to process Pixiu for him. However, the owner of the antique shop made a request, saying that what I wanted was actually a three-headed jade pixiu, but unfortunately this object has been lost, and no one knows how to carve it. When the jade craftsman heard this, he became competitive, and took the initiative to take out the three-headed jade pixiu that he treasured in his own collection, saying that my family has a collection, so I will carve it according to this shape - as soon as this treasure is revealed, there is no need to say what will happen later.

In the final analysis, it is all a word "greed".

We left the exhibition hall and found a small state-run shop on the edge of the West Lake, soaked in two cups of dragon wells, and discussed the current situation while enjoying the lake view. However, the medicine is not obviously not like to drink tea, and he drank it all in the good Longjing, and he didn't understand the way of taste at all.

"It's so inefficient to drink like this, I don't like it." Didn't the medicine shake the cup and refill some hot water.

Who instructed Wang Xiaomao to push the can, both of us thought that it should be someone from the old dynasty. Wei Hui Lao Xu's miss must have reached the ears of Lao Chaofeng. He probably realized that this matter was closely related to the five cans, and specially sent someone to destroy it.

The more this is the case, the more it shows that these five cans have an extremely close relationship with him.

However, we also believe that the old pilgrims have not yet discovered our whereabouts. We only decided to visit today yesterday, and the plan to buy Wang Xiaomao started before that, and there is no causal relationship between the two. As for the hands-on time, there were too many people on the first day of the opening, and it was easy to alarm the leaders, so we bumped into this scene on the second day of the opening, which is not a coincidence.

After discussing a few words, we all felt that Wang Xiaomao's clue seemed to be of little significance to track down at present, and we should concentrate on the evening matter.

"I suggest you take a closer look at "Xuanci Chengjian" again. Even if we succeed in getting close to the 'Three Visits to the Thatched House' character jar at night, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay long. You have to summon all your knowledge in a very short time to discover its secrets. "Medicine is not seriously emphasized.

I let out a "hmm", lowered my head and took a sip of tea, and then exhaled slowly. I'm trying to calm my emotions down and regain the feeling of being in the Purple Mountain. It is not a realm of harmony between heaven and man, nor is it a realm of Zen where there is nothing, but a kind of dedicated and professional dedication, which is extremely pure and does not mix any impurities.

My grandfather described this state in "Su Ding Lu": "Completely forgetful of self, not disturbed by external objects." The body is ancient, and the ancient is the body. "If I can reach such a state, then it will be more efficient to read "Xuanci Chengjian".

Speaking of this, a question suddenly occurred to me, a question that was not once asked to me.

"Well, I said...... What are you going to do if we catch the old pilgrimage? Brought to justice, or blood revenge? ”

Yao was not silent for a long time, put the teacup down, and replied honestly: "I don't know." ”

"Didn't think about it?"

"I've thought about it, but this kind of thing is not an arithmetic problem, and there is no answer. I can't solve it myself, but who can I talk to? ”

I was stunned for a moment, then turned my head away. Above the West Lake, sparkling. The pleasure boats on the lake and the white clouds in the sky are all far away at this time. I realized that both of us were very lonely people.

At eight o'clock in the evening, we came to a cargo entrance behind the Zhejiang Exhibition Hall as agreed. It's a wagon-walker, so there's a particularly wide unloading platform. There are all kinds of debris piled up nearby, and there are almost no people.

The salesman walked over from the shadows, looking a little nervous: "I'll say okay first, the two of you must follow me closely, you can only see, you can't touch, you can't make a sound or walk around." After reading it, it will come out, and you are absolutely not allowed to tell anyone else. ”

We agreed, and the salesman gave us two armbands, both red with the word "warehouse management" written on them. He opened the door and we followed.

Compared with the crowds during the day, the exhibition hall at night has a special meaning. The hustle and bustle dissipated, and all that remained was the precipitated aura. In the dim light, these quaint furniture stand quietly, revealing their true taste. It's as if it's just a show during the day, and that's when these actors are what they are.

The show will take a week, so the exhibits won't move as quickly. In the huge exhibition hall, only a few cleaning staff are immersed in cleaning, and a few warehouse keepers hold record books, checking the cultural relics one by one to see if they are lost or damaged. There are also security guards who patrol between the passages. However, looking at their leisurely demeanor, they don't seem to think that anything big will happen.

This can be understood, the precious cultural relics in the concept of the Chinese people are bronze, jade, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, these chairs, stools, tables, cabinets, beds and other things, are not just furniture, what is there to be nervous about.

Under the leadership of the salesman, we once again came to the core of the exhibition area. The two security sub-stations were around each other, looking slightly tired. The two of them have been standing for a day, and they have to wait for the warehouse management to finish the goods before handing them over to the night team.

The salesman naturally lifted the cord and let us step over. The security guard came over to inquire out of duty, and the salesman said that the two teachers from the warehouse had come to check the condition of the furniture. The security guard looked at our armbands and said that they had not checked it, and the salesman said that it was a cross-check to avoid problems.

The security guard let out an "oh" and retreated to his place.

"Let's take a look, choose the style, and leave immediately. Remember, don't take too long. The salesman lowered his voice.

Instead of Yao, I and I were naturally full of promises and moved forward. The distance from the isolation rope to the "Three Visits to the Thatched House" character story jar is only four or five meters, but there are incense tables, round stools, interstitial screens, mirror platforms along the way, and there are Luohan couches and screens nearby, like erecting an intricate wooden fence. The reason why Wang Xiaomao was not easily caught by the medicine during the day was because he went around and around.

In order to disguise our true purpose, we pretended to stay in front of each object for a moment, pretending to look at it and slowly moving inward. It took about five minutes for us to finally get close to the blue and white jar without alerting us.

This is the first time I've come close to a real five-can. The blue and white "Three Visits to the Thatched House" character story lid jar stands in front of us, the glaze is warm, the decoration is delicate, and even the heart of the tangled peony can be seen clearly. Under the dim night light of the pavilion, the porcelain surface is glowing with a wonderful and mellow blue color, and the figures on the jar are lifelike, and the years have not made them decay, but have added infinite charm.

It's so beautiful, this is the so-called big open door, no need to identify, you can know it's genuine at a glance. There is fire in the new porcelain, and there is thief light; The old porcelain is introverted, and the pan is Baoguang. Laymen may think that the statement is mysterious, but when you see a genuine product, you will immediately understand that these words are not mysterious at all, but can be summed up perfectly. This is a truth that has gone through all the catastrophes, and no matter how clever the means of counterfeiting, it can't be imitated. It can only be understood, not spoken.

What's more, in it, there is a secret hidden that the old courtiers fear, and it is close at hand. I turned my head sideways, and the same excited fire danced in Yaono's eyes.

At this time, he was standing one step ahead of me, in the narrow gap between the Luohan couch and the black luodian maid screen, and directly opposite the blue and white jar. It's not that I don't understand porcelain, so I should have waited for me to get closer. But this porcelain jar was so beautiful that he couldn't help but reach out first, wanting to touch his grandfather's most precious relic.

The moment his palm touched the blue and white jar, I suddenly heard a "gurgling" sound, which seemed to be the sound of some wooden piece colliding.

Before I could react, the blue and white jar suddenly shook, and the amplitude was not small, as if the medicine had not used great force at that touch. The medicine was not startled, and subconsciously wanted to withdraw his palm, but the swing of the blue and white jar was even greater. Just a second later, the blue and white jar tilted bizarrely in a strange direction, and the high platform dived like a dive, silently falling headlong from the bracket, and the fragile porcelain surface and the concrete floor collided fiercely, making an extremely crisp cracking sound.

All of a sudden, the celadon was shattered, like a splash.

At that moment, whether it was me, the salesman, or the two security guards, they all stayed in place like clay sculptures, and their minds stopped instantly. Our four pairs of eyes, staring at the medicine in different places, near and far, were not in time to react.

Yao Bu also seemed stunned, he leaned forward, as if in slow motion, first reached out to grab the celadon jar that fell to the ground, and then he staggered, fell to the ground, and pressed his hands against the porcelain shards in that place.
