Hearing the answer from the outsider, I hesitated, lowered my voice and asked Mu Zihan, "What should I do?" Do you want to open the door? "After all, it is possible that the person who is about to meet is a big snake force in this Golden Triangle region, although I was a little eager to try it before, but when it comes to the end, I am still a little bottomless.

"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, not to mention that this is our own arrangement, if they don't take the initiative to come to the door, we will be worried! What are you afraid of, open the door and go. Mu Zihan said with a confident smile.

"Oh." I answered, got up and ran to open the door.

As expected, there was not one person, but three people standing outside the door. Two of them are obviously of Asian descent, but I don't know which nationality they are, but judging by their body shape and skin color, most of them are from this Central and South Asian region. There was only a third person, a tall white man estimated to be more than 1.9 meters. Although I am more face-blind to whites and blacks, it seems that this man is not too young from the wrinkles on his face.

"Please, three." I stepped out of the way and politely said, "I'm sorry, the room is relatively small, there are no chairs, you can just sit casually." ”

"You are Mr. Han Zimo Han?" They didn't enter the door right away, but looked me up and down and asked with a polite smile.

To my surprise, it turned out that it was the white man who was talking outside the door before. I thought it should be one of the two Asian ancestry, but it seems that I can't preconceive about people.

However, it didn't matter, and I didn't delve into it further, but replied politely: "Oh no, I'm his assistant, my name is Yuan Shiqing." ”

They answered, and seemed to stop paying attention to me after knowing that I was not the person they were looking for, and walked into the room one after another.

I followed behind them, and after seeing them look around the small room, I probably found that the room was really as I said before, except for the fact that there was an empty chair opposite Mu Zihan, there was no place to sit at all. So, he didn't express his dissatisfaction, but took a few steps forward and came to Mu Zihan.

"I guess you're Mr. Han, I'm Pierre, a professional antique appraiser from the Antique Hobby Association? Pete, it's a pleasure to meet you. After the white man politely introduced himself, he also extended a friendly hand to Mu Zihan, who had already gotten up.

"It turned out to be Mr. Pete, and it's a pleasure to meet you." Mu Zihan also shook hands with him politely, and then motioned to the chair opposite him and said, "Please take a seat." ”

"Thank you." Pete thanked him and took his seat. Mu Zihan also sat down again with a smile. And those two people of Asian descent naturally stood behind Pete and Mu Zihan respectively, just like me.

After listening to Pete take a seat, he still said those inconsequential polite words to Mu Zihan, but he didn't mention the two people behind him, nor did he make a special introduction. And those two people were not dissatisfied, everything seemed to be normal. This can't help but make me doubt the identity of the two of them, and even the identity of this Pete.

Because, even in the eyes of a layman, they behaved unreasonably. If those two men of Asian descent really accompanied this appraiser named Pete to identify blue and white porcelain for Mu Zihan. So as a first meeting, even if these two people do not understand Chinese, they should be briefly introduced.

But judging from the current situation, not only did Pete not introduce them to Mu Zihan, but even they themselves didn't seem to care that this rude thing happened to them, and even, from beginning to end, these two people were like dumb people, they didn't say a word at all, just stood behind Pete so silently.

In my opinion, this is not so much like the three of them coming to Mu Zihan with their companions, but more like two bodyguards protecting an important person.

"I really didn't expect that although Mr. Pitt is a white man, he knows so much about Chinese culture, especially ancient Chinese culture." Just when I was skeptical and thinking, Mu Zihan and the two of them had already turned the topic to antiques.

"That's right, although I am a European, in your Chinese language, a foreigner. However, since I was a child, I have been fascinated by the profound oriental culture, and I have devoted my life to the study of Chinese antiques. Pete said with a smile.

"Then in Mr. Pitt's opinion, what dynasty should my bottle belong to? Is it genuine? Mu Zihan asked without knowing anything about antiques.

"Judging from the photo that Mr. Han passed last night, it looks like a Yuan blue and white porcelain." Pete replied, and then changed his words: "It's just that to distinguish the authenticity, you can't just look at the photos." I had to look at the real thing and study it carefully to determine if the vase in Mr. Han's collection was real Yuan blue and white porcelain......"

In fact, even I, an antique layman, understand this truth, but how can we take the real thing to him for study?

Sure enough, Mu Zihan didn't seem to hear the second half of his words, and before he could finish speaking, he said excitedly: "Master, you said that bottle is Yuan blue and white porcelain?" Then I'm not going to get rich? ”

Pete didn't seem to care about Mu Zihan's rude behavior, and still said with a smile: "Mr. Han, don't be too happy, please listen to me finish speaking." According to my many years of experience, in order to identify blue and white porcelain, we must pay attention to several important points: vessel shape, glaze color, blue and white, ornamentation, inner wall, bottom foot, color development and bubbles. If any of these points are wrong, it will mean that the porcelain vase is Yuan blue and white porcelain, and its value will be greatly discounted. ”

Then, before Mu Zihan could speak, he immediately said: "I think Mr. Han should not be able to deny the value of real Yuan blue and white porcelain, but it is precisely because of this that a large number of imitations have been made in certain periods in later generations. Although it cannot be said to be a complete fake, its value is absolutely incomparable with the real Yuan blue and white porcelain. As for the imitations that were mass-produced in the machinery industry in modern times, they can only be said to be worthless. ”

"In between, I also ask Mr. Han to take out the actual porcelain vase you have collected, so that I can study and identify it, so that I can help you determine its authenticity and value, so that you can decide whether it has the value of collecting." Pete finished in one breath. It looks like a good heart, but in fact, a trace of greed passes through his eyes. Although he hid it well, it was inevitable that Mu Zihan and I would find out.

"What you're saying is, heck, it's a pity that I came here to play this time and didn't bring it with me. You see, if not, you can leave your contact information first, and I will call back and ask the family to arrange for it to be sent out. When the thing arrives, I'm contacting you and asking you to help identify it. Mu Zihan said with a pity on his face: "It's just that in this way, I will have to trouble Mr. Pete to run again." ”

"Don't bother, don't bother, just do what Mr. Han said, we are both antique lovers, and we should help each other. Then please ask Mr. Han to tell me as soon as the things arrive. Pete also simply left his contact details and politely said goodbye and left.

It's just that not long after they left, Mu Zihan sneered coldly: "Hmph, old fox, play this with me." ”
