Chapter 71 Treasure Appraisal
Chapter 71 Treasure Appraisal
Mr. Yun: "Get ready, people will come in soon."
Lin Xi and Mr. Liu sat at the same table, and Mr. Yun and Yun Jinnian sat at the same table.
Soon two middle-aged men came in, dressed very ordinary. One of them took a porcelain vase, and the other took a porcelain bowl.
Lin Xi and Mr. Liu were appraising that bowl.
The man said: "This was passed down to me by my father. It is said to be from the Ming Dynasty. I don't know if it is true."
Mr. Liu took the bowl, looked at it for a few minutes, and then handed it to Lin Xi. Lin Xi knew the bowl was fake as soon as he got it, an imitation, but he still looked at it carefully and gave it back to him.
Lin Xi and Mr. Liu looked at each other, and then Mr. Liu said: "Sir, this bowl of yours is an imitation."
The man was a little disappointed, got up and left.
The first porcelain vase that Mr. Yun and his team identified was also fake.
People kept coming in from behind, and Lin Xi heard people coming and going in the cubicle next door. Lin Xi and his group looked at a lot, and there were still genuine items, but there was not a single one worthy of being put up for auction. Lin Xi and Mr. Liu looked at it all morning, and the most precious piece they encountered was a blue and white porcelain bowl from the Chenghua period. However, the bowl body was too damaged, so its value was not high, which made Mr. Liu sigh repeatedly.
Mr. Yun and the others did encounter a Tiancheng Yuanbao. Tiancheng Yuanbao was the currency of Emperor Mingzong Li Siyuan of the Later Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties period. Because it was rarely produced, it can be said to be a rare item among the coins of the Five Dynasties.
After the treasure appraisal in the morning, Lin Xi stretched out. After sitting all morning, her back was really sore.
Mr. Yun: "Everyone has been tired all morning. Let's have a meal together and take a rest. There will be a while in the afternoon."
Lin Xi followed everyone to the hotel booked by the organizers of the conference. The hotel was not far from the conference, just walking distance.
During the meal, everyone was discussing the collections they encountered in the morning, but Lin Xi kept eating.
Suddenly, Mr. Yun called Lin Xi.
Mr. Yun: "Xixi, how have you been feeling this morning?"
Lin Xi: "I saw a lot with Mr. Liu today, and Mr. Liu is willing to teach me."
Mr. Liu: "That's because Xixi is willing to listen to me. Many young people nowadays just can't calm down."
Lin Xi was a little embarrassed by the praise: "How can I? I only have a little patience left."
Seeing that Lin Xi was still so humble, Mr. Liu and Mr. Yun really liked her more and more.
Lin Xi: "But I found that genuine products are still in the minority, and there are still more fakes. Moreover, I found that the methods of counterfeiting are really weird. If you don't pay attention, you can easily be deceived."
Mr. Yun nodded, "Yes, there are not many existing cultural relics. Nowadays, the methods of counterfeiting on the market are becoming more and more sophisticated. Some porcelain will use real fragments as the base, and the upper part will be made of imitation and glued together. If you make it old again in the future, you can make it look like the real thing.”
Lin Xi was shocked when she heard such deceptive methods. These people had too many methods.
Mr. Liu: "So we need to keep our eyes open, but we old guys don't know how long we can live. In the future, we still have to rely on you, the younger generation."
Lin Xi: "Mr. Liu, you will definitely live a long life. We juniors still have to rely on your guidance."
Mr. Liu and Mr. Yun were coaxed happily by Lin Xi.
......
Because most of the treasure appraisers are older people, the organizers booked rooms in the same hotel so that everyone could rest.
Lin Xi also received a room card and returned to the room. Lin Xi lay on the bed and called Mother Lin and the others.
When the call was connected, Lin Xi heard that the voice on the other end was a bit noisy.
"Mom, have you eaten?"
"I'm eating right now. Xiaotian brought me to eat Beijing Roast Duck."
"Then you eat slowly. I have something to do here in the afternoon. I'll go find you when I'm done."
"If you have something to do, just be busy. Don't worry about us. You can rest assured that Xiaotian is with me. I won't tell you anymore. The food is served."
After saying that Mother Lin hung up the phone, Lin Xi couldn't help laughing at Mother Lin's tone, but hearing Mother Lin's voice, she was in a good mood.
Lin Xi took a nap for a while, got up around 1:30, got dressed, washed her face, and went out.
As soon as I walked out, I saw Mr. Yun and the others, and we all made an appointment to go to the venue together.
There were fewer people in the afternoon, so Lin Xi and the others got ready and started. Lin Xi and Mr. Liu looked at the collection in the afternoon for a long time but didn't see anything real.
At this time, a beautiful woman in a red dress walked in, but she looked haggard. She sat in front of Lin Xi and Mr. Liu and took out a painting.
Mr. Liu took the painting and unfolded it on the table. The painting was more than one meter long.
Lin Xi saw that the painting on the painting was Qi Baishi's "The Sound of Frogs Leaping from the Mountain Spring Ten Miles Away", which seemed to be a fake because the original work was collected in the Beijing Literature Museum.
Mr. Liu: "Miss, this painting of yours is obviously fake."
When the woman in red heard this, her face became even paler, she got up and left without even taking away the painting. Lin Xi was about to roll up the painting and return it to him, but when she was rolling it, she found that the paper of the painting felt wrong. It was too thick.
Lin Xi observed around the edge of the painting. The more she looked, the stranger it became. She urged her god-level concentration to look carefully. Lin Xi felt that she had entered a state of suspension. Gradually, she discovered that there were several overlapping pieces of paper in one place. sign.
Seeing that Lin Xi had been looking at it, Mr. Liu asked, "Xixi, is there something wrong with this painting?"
But Lin Xi didn't hear it. Mr. Liu shouted a few more times before Lin Xi came back to her senses.
Mr. Liu: "Xixi, what's wrong?"
Lin Xi: "Mr. Liu, look here."
Mr. Liu walked to Lin Xi's position and observed, his expression becoming more and more confused.
Mr. Liu: "Xixi, are you doubting that there is a painting in the painting?"
Lin Xi: "It's very possible."
Mr. Yun and the others saw them walking over with cautious expressions on their faces.
Mr. Yun: "What's going on?"
Mr. Liu told Mr. Yun about the matter, and then told Lin Xi's guess.
Mr. Yun looked at it and found something strange. He touched the paper again and found it was too thick.
Mr. Yun: "What Xixi said is most likely true."
Lin Xi: "What should we do now?"
Mr. Yun: "Where is the owner of the painting?"
Lin Xi discovered that the woman had left, and Mr. Yun quickly asked someone to find her.
Soon the woman came back. She looked at Lin Xi and the others in confusion, "Is there anything else?"
Mr. Liu: "Miss, it's like this. There may be another painting inside your painting."
The woman was stunned: "Is there another painting?"
Mr. Liu: "Yes, you can ask professionals to help you take out the paintings."
The woman thought about it for a moment, and her eyes suddenly showed a little hope: "If you hide the paintings in this way, is the painting inside very precious?"
Mr. Liu: "We don't know that. You can only identify it by taking out the painting first."
Woman: "I understand, thank you."
The woman took the painting and turned around and left.
Lin Xi saw that the materials and techniques for mounting paintings should be modern, and she didn't know what kind of calligraphy and painting would be worthy of using such techniques.
After such an episode, Lin Xi and the others returned to their positions to continue the treasure appraisal. However, there were not many people behind, and a few people finished it quickly.
Lin Xi: "It's finally over."
Mr. Liu: "Xixi, you must be tired from sitting."
Lin Xi: "It's been a long time since I sat like this for so long."
Mr. Liu smiled: "Activity, activity."
Lin Xi stood up, twisted her body, and her neck creaked slightly.
Mr. Liu: "Xixi, thank you for your hard work today."
Lin Xi: "It's not hard, I learned a lot from you."
Seeing that the matter was over, Lin Xi proposed to go back, but Mr. Yun and Mr. Liu both enthusiastically proposed to have a meal with her, and Lin Xi was too kind to resist, so she agreed.
Lin Xi sent a message to Mother Lin and explained the situation.
There were only four people eating together, Mr. Yun, Mr. Liu, Yun Jinnian and Lin Xi. The four of them ended up going to Fan Xin's private kitchen.
