: Appreciating antiques

"Brother Huang, why do you look down on me, an old brother? Have a drinking party and don't notify me? Zhang Kentao walked into the hall of the villa with a grin, followed by two attendants, one of whom was carrying a large package in his hand.

Huang Rongjin's face changed slightly, and he forced out a smile: "Brother Ken Tao, look at what you said, I think you are usually very busy, this is just an informal family reception, and I didn't give you an invitation." However, with the relationship between the two of us, we don't need invitations, right, no, you can come directly if you want to? ”

Although Huang Rongjin's words were polite, what he said was neither soft nor hard, and there were thorns in his words.

And how could Zhang Kentao not hear it? However, it is already accustomed to the two of them competing against each other, and it is also Zhang Kentao's thorny words, so at this moment he said nonchalantly: "That's right, our brothers don't care about those vanity!" When I heard that Brother Huang was holding a drinking party here, I hurried over to cheer you up. ”

"Really?" Huang Rongjin looked at Zhang Kentao, since he came, he couldn't be kicked out, at least on the surface, the two of them were okay: "Then please take a seat, the drinking party is about to start." ”

"Before the cocktail party starts, I have a rare treasure that I want to bring to Brother Huang to help me appreciate it!" As he spoke, Zhang Kentao waved his hand and asked the attendant behind him who was carrying the package to hand over the things in his hand.

"Oh, then I'm going to have to enjoy it." Huang Rongjin said with a smile. Both of them are mixed in the collecting world, and they both have some reputation, but Huang Rongjin is slightly more famous, so Zhang Kentao often takes some tricky and weird things for him to guess what they are, in order to make him ugly, but it is called appreciation.

For example, last time, Zhang Kentao got a bronze cup from the Song Dynasty and asked Huang Rongjin to judge which year it was made, but fortunately, there were masters around Huang Rongjin, and in a word, Zhang Kentao left in a huff.

This time, I don't know what Zhang Kentao wants to do again, but one thing is for sure, this guy is definitely not at ease, in front of so many people, he must be thinking of some way to make himself ugly.

Of course. Although I knew in my heart that it would be like this. But on the surface, the effort is well done. Huang Rongjin pretended to be surprised. walked quickly in front of Zhang Kentao.

People at the venue. Most of them know that Huang Rongjin and Zhang Kentao have grievances. But people always have the mentality of watching the excitement. I know that the two of them don't deal with each other. But he was also very curious. I want to see what high-end things Zhang Kentao has come up with this time.

"This time. I bought a vase from England that is said to be from the Ming Dynasty. I want Brother Huang to help me identify the authenticity! He said. Zhang Kentao opened the package in his hand. Then a box was taken out of it. Open the box. Carefully remove the contents of the floor.

It's a beautifully crafted one. The shape is also very elaborate celadon vase. At the venue, people have a certain understanding of antiques. See such a beautiful vase. I couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

Zhang Kentao proudly placed the vase on the table in the center of the villa. Then he said to Huang Rongjin: "Brother Huang." It is said that you are very accomplished in the study of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty. Today, please ask you, a master, to help me identify the authenticity of the vase! ”

Huang Rongjin glanced at Zhang Kentao coldly. This antique is authentic. But a university question. Although Huang Rongjin has put a lot of effort into this. But antiques are antiques after all. It's not like anything else. Distinguish the authenticity. It's still going to take a lot of work. Not to mention. Now I can see it with my eyes in such a short time. Even experts have to use some high-tech tools to identify it.

It's just that, even so, if Huang Rongjin didn't say a reason today, Zhang Kentao must have prepared a lot of words to ridicule him, and he didn't have to worry about it at all.

"How is it, Brother Huang, this vase is good, right?" Zhang Kentao saw Huang Rongjin's admiring gaze and said proudly.

"Yes, that's good." Huang Rongjin nodded and admired the vase.

No matter from which angle, whether it is the pattern on it or the rust spots, etc., it can be proved that this is a vase of the Ming Dynasty, but the more this is the case, the more unsteady Huang Rongjin's heart is!

Zhang Kentao took such a vase to appreciate for himself, so there must be a follow-up move, but where did he want to make a fuss? Huang Rongjin couldn't guess, so he didn't dare to speak.

Just look closely at the vase and look at some of the details on the vase that are easy to overlook.

The contradiction between Yang Ming and the pink-headed fat man was interrupted by Zhang Kentao as soon as he came in, and the pink-headed fat man knew that he couldn't make trouble for a while, so he had to give up and look at the vase on the table with everyone.

The pink-headed fat man couldn't see anything, he just thought it was just a vase, but Yang Ming was-for-tat from Huang Rongjin and Zhang Kentao

Something was noticed.

"Lele, who is that Zhang Kentao?" Yang Ming walked up to Huang Lele and asked in a low voice.

"It's a friend of my second brother, but I always like to ridicule my second brother, and this time it should be the same, if my second brother can't tell the authenticity of this vase, he may have to say something ugly." Huang Lele hates this Zhang Kentao very much, but he also understands the relationship between the two families, and the second brother has nothing to do with him, so Huang Lele naturally has nothing to do.

Yang Ming nodded after hearing this, and roughly understood the relationship between the two people. It seems that this Zhang Kentao is not good.

didn't understand Zhang Kentao's purpose, Huang Rongjin naturally didn't open his mouth lightly, but Zhang Kentao was a little impatient: "How about it, Brother Huang, you are an expert in this area, is this vase real or fake?" ”

No matter how you look at it, this vase looks like the real thing! But it is precisely because it is too similar to the real thing that Huang Rongjin does not dare to draw conclusions lightly! Because, today's technology is so advanced, the technology of counterfeiting is very powerful, and it is not uncommon to be able to make things that are fake and real.

Zhang Kentao took such a real vase to test himself, could he be so kind? If this vase is really fake, then after he says that this vase is real, Zhang Kentao will definitely take the opportunity to make fun of himself.

But such an easy-to-understand truth, will Zhang Kentao not understand? If he takes an ambiguous thing that is not very easy to identify and is in poor condition, then it will be really difficult for him to judge. But if you judge yourself by something so real, how can you not be suspicious?

However, from another point of view, if this is just a counter-strategy, Zhang Kentao deliberately took a real vase to confuse himself and make himself mistakenly think that it was a fake, which is not impossible!

In this way, Huang Rongjin is really a little difficult to ride a tiger.

As if knowing Huang Rongjin's thoughts, Zhang Kentao shook his head and stood aside unhurriedly: "I said expert, you're a little too slow, aren't you?" Even if you can't take a closer look, at least give a preliminary opinion, right? ”

Huang Rongjin was a little annoyed, and said in his heart, if I say my preliminary opinion, you will definitely come to bombard me, right? But it's not okay if you don't say it, so many people are looking at him, Huang Rongjin really has to say a result today.

Well, even if he said that this vase was fake, if Zhang Kentao insisted that this vase was real, then he would have no way at all, it would be better to say that it was true, and he could gamble.

At least if the vase is fake, you have to tell why it's fake, right? There has to be a flaw, right? At least Huang Rongjin didn't see any flaws.

So, Huang Rongjin nodded, took a deep breath and said, "After my preliminary judgment, it seems that this vase is real......"

Before Huang Rongjin's words were finished, he was interrupted by Yang Ming, Yang Ming patted Huang Rongjin on the shoulder, and then said: "It looks like this vase is really made very similar!" But it's still fake, that's what Brother Huang meant, right? ”

After hearing Yang Ming's words, Huang Rongjin was obviously stunned, although he didn't understand why Yang Ming said that the vase was fake, but Huang Rongjin knew that Yang Ming himself was superior, he said this, it must have his reason!

Instead of guessing by yourself, it is better to listen to Yang Ming this time and take a gamble, anyway, I am not sure about it, the big deal is to be ridiculed by Zhang Kentao, and it is not a big deal.

"Is it real or fake?" Zhang Kentao glanced at Yang Ming with some dissatisfaction, and said in his heart, who is this guy? What do you say?

"Hehe, that's what Yang Ming said!" Huang Rongjin nodded affirmatively.

Zhang Kentao's face changed instantly, but he immediately returned to normal, and if he didn't look carefully, he couldn't see it at all. But if you can hide it from other people's eyes, it is impossible to hide it from Yang Ming's eyes.

"Hmph," Zhang Kentao regained his previous smug look: "Brother Huang, I'm afraid you guessed wrong this time, right?" How could this vase be a fake? I bought it at auction in the UK for three million pounds! ”

Huang Rongjin was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer, but out of trust in Yang Ming, he still set his eyes on Yang Ming, and sure enough, Yang Ming disappointed him.

"Really?" Yang Ming looked at Zhang Kentao with a smile: "Are you sure this vase is real?" ”

"I ...... Of course I'm sure! The vase is mine, and I've been certified by an expert, so it's definitely real! Zhang Kentao nodded with certainty. But in my heart, I am so unhappy with the person in front of me, what is the matter with him?

"And what if I have to say it's fake?" Yang Ming looked at the vase, then at Zhang Kentao and asked rhetorically.
