408 What are they doing?

After listening to Wang Xiangfu's story, this time it was Lin Yi and Bai Lu's turn to be surprised.

I heard Mr. Bai talk about the craftsmanship of the shopkeeper of "Wengu Zhai", which is "clever", and he can do it to the point of being fake.

I didn't expect this to be a family handiwork.

So the things in this room.

When Lin Yi came in just now, his reaction was almost the same as when Qian Sheng saw these things in the live broadcast room before.

Breathtaking, awe-inspiring!

Now that I have listened to Uncle Wang's story, I only feel even more outrageous when I turn my head to look at these things.

Bai Lu asked directly:

"Do you have a room full of collections..."

Wang Xiangfu waved his hand and pointed to the surrounding furnishings.

"Not necessarily, many of them are my 'proud works', and there are many originals, and it may really take some skill to identify them."

When Lin Yi heard him say this, he looked over, and sure enough, he couldn't see any problems.

As soon as the "golden eyes of wisdom" opened, I finally saw some small flaws in the imperceptible details.

In addition to the paper, ink color, personal style of different periods and the artistic connotation of the work, one of the biggest elements in distinguishing the authenticity is to look at the inscription.

An important identifying element in the payment is to look at the seal.

Seals have always played an important role in the long history of China.

Up to the seal of the country, down to the idle seal of a side, because of its difficult to copy characteristics, it has always been an important symbol to prove identity and distinguish authenticity.

In the past, everyone often had a lot of seals in calligraphy and painting, not to mention the "psoriasis" like seal lovers in Hongli.

The style of the seal, the material, the strength of the knife, the depth of the engraving strokes, including some knife marks and notches formed intentionally or unintentionally, including the ink used, all belong to its unique anti-counterfeiting marks.

And even if it is the same person's work, there will be a great deal of difference between the styles of the early and late periods.

This is also the reason why it is difficult to forge calligraphy and painting works.

It is not a big problem to make a few fake things to deceive those who sell their fame and reputation and are vassals and elegant local money.

If you want to fool the eyes of professionals, or even experts, you do need some means.

If Lin Yi didn't have "discerning golden eyes", he could only shout when he saw these things: Awesome!

"For example, this landscape of Mr. Huang Binhong, his ink skills are the most profound, especially in his later years, he has perfected the realm, in addition to his old man's skills are enough, the ink ingots used are also very particular.

This kind of pine smoke ancient ink, because of the high cost, the craftsmanship is almost lost.

If you want to imitate his work, you must first go to Huizhou, and you must first find someone to restore the original Songyan ancient ink. ”

As he spoke, he opened a mahogany box on the Huanghuali case, and several ink ingots with a metallic luster lay inside.

"This piece of ink ingot, thirty-five grams, costs more than the same weight of gold as it, and one ingot of pine smoke and one ingot of gold is said to be less."

Lin Yi and Bai Lu were dumbfounded when they listened.

In addition to the identity of Kanyumen, they are now regarded as people in the antique circle, and they also belong to the class that have seen the top real things, and they also know a lot about the doorways here.

Now that I have listened to Uncle Wang's story, I feel that under the circle of antiques and antiques, that is, these people who imitate and forge antiques have a way of survival that belongs to them.

There are also eight rare materials such as pearls, agate, musk, amber, coral, monkey dates, borneol and mugwort, which are mixed with castor oil and silver vermilion.

The paper covered with eight treasures of ink clay is not afraid of fire and water. ”

As he spoke, Uncle Wang opened the seal box, and Lin Yi opened his eyes again.

A whole box is full of Tianhuang and bloodstone, and the value of each piece is immeasurable.

He just picked a piece at random, opened the ink box, dipped it twice, covered it on a piece of white paper, and when the ink was dry, he wiped it with water and did not fade.

A match was brought and the paper was lit, and the seal on it was still clearly visible.

"Including the Fang Tian Huang in my hand, there are also subtle differences between the seal it covers and the seal covered by Qingtian Stone, if you don't understand the doorway, you can't see what the problem is.

In other words, even if someone understands the doorway, the skill and eyesight are not enough, he will not be able to discern the details of my falsification. ”

After speaking, Uncle Wang took a soft towel, carefully wiped the ink on Tianhuang's seal, and put it back in the box.

"This thing isn't new, I bought it back for real money."

Lin Yi suddenly reacted.

Why would this old man show them these things?

"Could it be that when you first dealt with the 'Purple Marquis', what you sold them was all fakes?"

Wang Xiangfu laughed twice.

Locked the box, turned and sat down.

"Spirituality, just a little bit! What are they doing? Who deserves to have the real thing about us?

It took me a year to sort out the things left for me by the shopkeeper, and it took me more than half a year to make a few experiments, and by the way, I collected some things in the countryside along the way and sold them together.

Along the Yellow River all the way to the west through the four provinces of Shanxi, Henan, Qin and Gansu, then turn around all the way to the south, along the Yangtze River all the way to the east, and finally to the big city of Huangpu, and then take the train from Huangpu to go to Guanwai, and finally go around and return to Cangzhou.

This trip down, it took six years, the money did not make less, the leaks did not pick up, the eyes did not hit less, every time I went to a place, I first took root to understand the situation, and then did a while of trading in the local area. ”

Speaking of this, the old man showed a simple smile on his face.

"At that time, the craftsmanship was not perfect, and I couldn't stay in one place for too long, and it would be troublesome to be seen by others. However, after a long time, there is also our number on the rivers and lakes - 'Lao Fu with Baggage'.

After I came back from this experience, I rented a small shop in Cangzhou's antique street and did business for a few years.

After a break of more than ten years, I returned to my old business and reopened, but I didn't expect someone to come to my door immediately.

People come to Beijing with an accent, dress up like a person, come and understand our incision, come up to the first cross-section, I thought it was a colleague in Beijing to come to the surrounding to receive goods, and then I realized that something was wrong.

The old boy had a photo album with all kinds of antique photos, some of which were hand-drawn sketches, and all kinds of foreign characters.

Later, when I inquired, who do you think this kid is? ”

Lin Yi and Bai Lu shook their heads blankly.

"He is the third-generation owner of the 'Yongyi' of the Liuli Factory, Lu Yulin."

Lin Yi and Bai Lu still don't know what the origin of this is.

"You must know his grandfather, the famous Lu Qinzhai!"

"Lu Qinzhai? Is it the Lu Qinzhai who sold the relief of the six horses of Tang Taizong's Zhaoling to France? ”

"That's right, it's this old bastard!"

Hearing the appearance of this name, the picture that had been flickering in Lin Yi's mind seemed to suddenly have a line connecting them all.

The fragmented information that has been floating in my brain is being stitched together little by little by this thread. (End of chapter)
