Chapter 4: Yaxuan Court (3rd Update)
Yaxuan Court
In this way, Mei Niang and I, under the leadership of Quan Wuquan, walked around the city in all directions, walked about five or six blocks, and stopped at a crossroads. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info I looked around left and right, only to see that on my left hand side there is a red lacquered wooden door more than three meters high, standing tall in the noisy urban area, with five words written in small seal script 'Antique Jade Street'.
Looking at the few words in front of me, no matter how you look at it, it seems a bit like a lie, just like us rookies who don't understand anything, and here we can only be slaughtered by others. I pulled the corner of Lao Quan's clothes a few times, "Is this reliable?" No matter how it looks, it is more fake than the pedicure knives sold on the street, and it is even more fake to say that it is a fruit knife. ”
"You know a fart, this is called a big hidden in the city, and the connoisseurs are in the dark, just see what you can't find. Follow me yes, I've been here several times, and I know everything here! Lao Quan swaggered into this antique street, and when he walked in, he realized why the people of the capital made a fortune with these things, while some people lost money. It is said that there is a saying about making antiques, 'three years of not taking work, there is a job to eat for three years', and to do this kind of work, the first thing is to have vicious eyes, if others make forgeries, it will be miserable, and it is estimated that you will have to lose the bottom.
Lao Quan told me a little story, I heard that in the 26th year of Guangxu in 1900, there was a cow man named Akheng in northwest China at that time, and this person was a 'treasure hunter', that is, a tomb robber. This guy was supposed to be a small antiquities dealer, but at that time China was in turmoil, and there were many Europeans who liked to come to the local area to collect antiquities and books. However, Akheng was a smart man with a good mind, and when he saw that ancient books were easy to sell, he set up a group of people to commit counterfeiting of cultural relics.
This guy is very smart, and he also has his own set of methods of cheating, which is enough to confuse the real with the fake. At first, he used a few ancient manuscripts as samples, bought a kind of local coarse paper, used boxwood sap as a dye, dyed the coarse paper yellow or light brown, wrote it with a quill pen, hung it on the fireworks and baked, knew that the paper was smoked into the color of the ancient book, and then he bound the book, and an ancient book was done, but this was not the end, in order to make it real, it was necessary to bury the 'ancient book' that had just been made into the sand taken from the Taklamakan Desert, and cover it for some days before it was completed. In this way, even connoisseurs sometimes look away, so this counterfeiting abounds in the antique market.
Second, to do this, you have to try some literature, you can't say that some blue-patterned porcelain bowls are blue and white porcelain. And not only can you do a good job of antiques with these two points, but it also takes a lot of time and experience, anyway, it can be summed up in four words: 'cheating'. Lao Quan just took me and Mei Niang into the antique street, there are not many people in this street, it can be said that it is deserted, only a few people wander around the street, and it can be seen that most of them are couples who come here for sightseeing.
Generally, the boss sees that these people are not in touch with Ai, and they are not very familiar with each other, because they are usually just coming to see. These bosses are generally very good in their eyes, and they know who is rich and who is not, which can be seen from the way they dress and talk. Not only is it deserted, but most of the storefronts are not even open. As we walked, I came to the end of the street with Lao Quan, only to see an old locust tree surrounded by three people in front of me.
Speaking of this locust tree, it is still necessary to say that it is okay for the locust tree to settle down in the house, but there must be no locust tree in the place of the yin house. Because it can be seen from the literal above, there is a ghost word under the tree, if there is a locust tree in the location of someone's cemetery, then the ghost will not be able to go down to the underworld, re-enter the reincarnation, and will hover around the locust tree. And the family will have a bloody disaster, disasters will be repeated, business will lose money, and there will always be lawsuits at work.
At this time, I only saw a façade under the shadow of the locust tree, and there was a Huanghuali plaque hanging on the door, which read 'Yaxuan Pavilion' in three golden characters. I don't know if the owner of this house is pretending to be elegant, or if he is really a bit of a doorway.
At this time, Lao Quan didn't say hello and walked in, Mei Niang and I followed Lao Quan in, only to see that there were two rattan chairs inside, a table of eight immortals, and there was nothing in the room except for a porcelain jar and jade on the counter. There was also a guy inside who was cleaning up inside at this time, and Lao Quan didn't say hello, and sat on the chair with his ass.
"Come on! Come! Come! Sit down, you're welcome. Yang San, what about Boss Li? Lao Quan said loudly.
At this time, the guy who was cleaning before heard Lao Quan's voice and put down the work in his hand. walked over and made a cup of tea for each of the three of us, and then said, "Senior Brother Quan, Boss Li is cleaning up the leak outside?" It will be some time before I get back. The man said.
'Senior brother? This sentence is strange to my ears, stumped Lao Quan and this guy or are they brothers?
Lao Quan slapped his forehead at this time and said, "Look! My memory, this is my little junior brother, and now he can be regarded as entering the world to practice, and they are all his own family. But little junior brother, when will this Boss Li come back, can you give an accurate number, now my brother I have a 'raw goods' in hand to make a hurry to sell, and my brother can't open the pot now when he has a tight hand. ”
"Actually, Senior Brother Quan, I'll be honest with you, Boss Li has been gone for three months and hasn't come back yet. He was very anxious when he left, and heard that it should be a plum nail. The little junior brother said.
The speaker has no intention of listening to the heart, Lao Quan and I heard that it was a nail, and looked at each other, 'plum blossom nail' is difficult to be the arrow seven nail book, the nail was taken away by the public security when I was in the factory before, and it has not been found back yet, it is very likely that this thing is now in the hands of Brother Shan. But at this time, there was the whereabouts of the Seven Nails Book again.
