Chapter 36: The Big Deal
"Just give me some iodine and a lamp, and the evidence will be given to you right away!" Wan Jinyou said. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Good! Since Mr. Wan is so confident, I will trust Mr. Wan for once! The plain girl's complexion changed for a while, and she gritted her teeth.
He clapped his hands as he spoke, "Someone!" Then a guy went upstairs and asked respectfully, "What do you have to say?" ”
"Go get some iodine and get a lamp! Be quick! Su Nu commanded without hesitation. The man took the order and left.
Xia Yanfang and Wen Zishu seemed to have known the identity of the Su Nu for a long time, Wan Jinyou showed a look of surprise on his face, and said, "I didn't expect the Su Nu to be the master here, I thought she was in charge?" ”
"Let Mr. Wan smile! My grandfather opened the shop, but I just take care of it, and it's okay to say that I'm in charge! Su Nu smiled.
Wan Jinyou nodded, smiled and said nothing.
The man's efficiency was very fast, and after a while, he went upstairs with a loud noise, but in his hand there was an extra bottle of iodine and an oil lamp. The plain girl motioned to the guy to put the things on the table, waved his hand, and the guy turned around and went downstairs with a very good look.
"Sir, you can get started! But the ugly words are ahead, if Mr. can really prove that this is a fake, it would be fine, otherwise, Mr. knows the consequences, right? Su Nu said.
"Don't worry! If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't be so full! Wan Jinyou said, twisting the cap of the bottle, this is when he found that there was an extra pack of cotton swabs and a lighter next to the iodine wine, and said with satisfaction, "You guy is very good at doing things, not bad!" After praising two sentences, he took out a cotton swab dipped in iodine wine and lightly smeared it in the blank space in the lower left corner of "Orchid Pavilion Preface", and lit an oil lamp, and roasted the smeared place far away on the fire, and the whole process was like a smooth flow.
After baking for a while, Wan Jinyou blew out the oil lamp and nodded at a few people. Xia Yanfang and the three of them had been waiting impatiently for a long time, and when they saw him nodding, they came up one by one.
I saw a line of small blue characters in the place dipped in iodine wine, because the font was too small, the three of them looked carefully for a long time before they could identify it, only to see that it was written, "The circle master copied here", and there was a seal behind it, and the seal was very unique. On the outside is a red circle, and on the inside is a black word "Ye". I don't know how he did it.
"I had the feeling of dreaming, but I didn't expect that the "Orchid Pavilion Preface" that we thought was the real work was actually a fake." Wen Zishu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Yes! You see this workmanship, this material, has reached the point of being fake, if it weren't for Brother Wan to find out, I'm afraid we would all be deceived! Xia Yanfang also smiled bitterly.
"Thank you Mr. Wan this time, if it weren't for Mr. Wan, the consequences would be unimaginable. If there is something offensive in the words just now, I hope Mr. will bear with me! The plain girl said sincerely. What she said is also true, if there is no Wanjinyou, they still think it is genuine, and they will definitely release the wind and attract more customers when the time comes. The name of the original work of "Orchid Pavilion Preface" is too big, and there must be a lot of big names from all over the world who come to admire it at that time. If it is identified as a fake at that time, then the blow to Guangyuanzhai is absolutely immeasurable.
"By the way, Brother Wan, how did you find out that this is a fake?" Xia Yanfang asked curiously.
"Let's tell you the truth, in fact, this circle master is a master of counterfeiting, he has made many fakes, each of which is enough to confuse the real with the fake, to the point where the fake is the real and the fake is fake. However, as a sign of respect for the authenticity, he leaves his mark on each counterfeit to distinguish himself. However, he is very low-key, his reputation is not obvious, and it is understandable that everyone does not know. I have a bit of a relationship with the circle master, and I also have a little understanding of his methods, so I can see that this is a fake. Wan Jinyou said.
"I see! However, I have great respect for that circle master, and this hand-made counterfeiting technique alone is already breathtaking, and it is impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood. I wonder if Mr. Wan can recommend one or two? Su Nu asked with a look of surprise.
"Yes, yes, yes! We also have a lot of respect for the circle master, I wonder if Brother Wan can introduce us to us? Xia Yanfang and Wen Zishu also asked in unison.
"This ......," Wan Jinyou said with a look of embarrassment, "I can't hide it, the circle is also a very eccentric person, and his whereabouts are uncertain, even I can't see him once a year." It's not that I don't want to be introduced, it's that I can't contact him, and I can't introduce him if I want to! Wan Jinyou smiled bitterly.
Xia Yanfang and Wen Zishu smiled helplessly, they didn't think that Wan Jinyou would tell lies, after all, weirdos usually have strange tempers. It is normal for a master of counterfeiting like the circle master to have a strange temper. As for the uncertainty of his whereabouts, it is better to explain, after all, he is a fake, how can he live in the same place for a long time?
Su Nu had some ideas, but seeing that neither of them continued to ask, she had to give up!
Seeing that it was just a fake, a few people didn't mean to stay longer, so they said goodbye after a few more greetings. Naturally, the plain girl didn't keep much, and symbolically said a few words to save and sent off. Obviously, this matter is very important, and she also needs to report the situation to the family......
After leaving Guangyuanzhai, he politely refused Wen Zishu and Xia Yanfang's request to be a guest at their place, and left alone. Xia Yanfang and Wen Zishu had no choice but to leave.
Wan Jinyou went around the antique street again, then got on a bus, changed a few buses, and then took a taxi out of the city, and then reversed several means of transportation such as tricycles and motorcycles, and finally arrived at a village called Dongzhuang.
I walked a few hundred meters to a rental house, looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention. Only then did he knock on the door nine times regularly, and a middle-aged man's voice came out of it, "Who is coming?" ”
"Jia Baoyu!" Wan Jin You said.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the door creak open, and a young man peeked around, let him in, and slammed the door shut.
"This is not the place to talk!" The middle-aged man said a word, then took him to the basement, asked him to sit down, poured another cup of tea, and said, "Okay, now you can talk!" ”
Wan Jinyou glanced at the young man up and down, and saw that he looked in his twenties, his face was a little green, and he was wearing a pair of highly myopic glasses.
"Tut-tut, what would it be like to let outsiders know that the infamous master of fraud is a hairy young man?" Wan Jinyou found a comfortable position to lie down and said casually.
And that young man was the circle master, I saw the circle master find a chair and sit down, and replied, "As long as you don't say it, I won't say it, who knows?" ”
"By the way, what are you looking for me?" Wan Jinyou asked again.
"Who is looking for you, obviously you came to the door by yourself!" The circle master said innocently.
"Whew! I got up today and found the mark you painted at my door, I have been chasing the mark to the antique street, and finally found the mark that you asked me to go to Guangyuanzhai. "Orchid Pavilion Preface" was deliberately released by you, and it was actually laid out so long ago, but that fake token is quite similar, and it can actually be fooled! I found it here from the information on "Orchid Pavilion Preface"! I didn't expect you to be so cautious! Wan Jinyou said.
"I make a living by falsifying, and if I can't even fool this point, it will be an insult to my reputation as a master of counterfeiting. Now that the fight against counterfeiting is so powerful, I can't be too careful at all. The circle master replied.
"That's also, with your level of fraud, I'm afraid many master-level figures can't tell the truth from the fake. If you let them know that the antiques that make them look at them are all from you, I don't know what kind of expression it will be? Wan Jinyou chuckled.
"It's going to be exciting!" The circle master smiled knowingly.
"Tut-tut, the circle master is very tight? I haven't said the purpose of calling me here until now, and it seems that the Qi cultivation kung fu is good! Wan Jin You changed his words.
"It's a big deal, and I haven't figured out what to tell you yet." The circle master said.
"Huh! Since the circle master said that the matter is very important, I'm afraid it's a big deal, I don't know how big the deal is that the circle master is talking about? Wan Jinyou sighed lightly, and said with a straight face.
"If this deal is completed, of course, you don't have to worry about eating and drinking in this life, and the sensation is probably so big that the official will pay great attention to it, far from being comparable to the small fights in "Lanting Preface"! Of course, this is a successful situation, if people know that we are cheating, even if we escape, I am afraid that there is no place for us in the world. The circle master said inscrutablely.
"Hiss......" Wan Jinyou gasped, since even the circle master said that if it was exposed, there would be no place for them in the world, it shows how serious the matter is. However, to be able to make the circle master treat it so solemnly, I am afraid that it is definitely not easy for him to fake something.
Don't look at the circle master so young, only in his twenties, but he is a person who has seen a big scene, and many of the antique calligraphy and paintings he faked are still in the treasure trove of those antique collectors!
"Master Circle! I don't know how big the deal you have to do, but I can tell me a good idea. Wan Jinyou said.
"It's no better than Gonggong's anger touching the mountains and poking a hole in the northwest sky." The circle master has a rare humor.
"Hehehe! Master Quan, you are so humorous, let's talk about it, I want to see how big the big deal you said is? Wan Jinyou said curiously.
"He's Bi!" The circle master said slowly.
Wan Jinyou was shocked, bounced up from the chair all of a sudden, and said in a lost voice, "Are you crazy?" ”
It's no wonder that he is so out of shape, it is really the big deal that the circle master said is too big, and it is beyond his ability to bear it. Of course, what he said about He's Bi is not really He's Bi, but a jade seal made of He's Bi!
He didn't expect that the circle master would be so frustrated that he wanted to fake the jade seal of the country......
