Chapter 151 The Fake Chenghua Chicken Cup

"I heard that you are also very good at antiques. Come and appreciate my collection of antiques."

"Thank you, Dad. I've been hearing from Natalia that you have collected a lot of antiques, but it's a pity that I didn't get to see them."

Hearing what he said, Shuisky smiled triumphantly and led him to the basement.

As the door of the basement opened, Du Kang's eyes lit up instantly. All kinds of antiques were placed in it, and antique shelves made of oak were placed around the basement, filled with antiques.

On the ground, it is also full of antiques, and it seems that there are a lot of them.

There are all kinds of Western and Chinese styles, and there are even antiques from some ethnic minorities.

Du Kang was dazzled by the dazzling array of beautiful objects.

He has always known that Natalia's family background is extraordinary, but he did not expect to have so many antiques.

"How about it?"

"Excellent, Dad, how many antiques do you have in your collection?"

Du Kang looked greedy. Shuisky only had one son and one daughter. He didn't know how much Natalia would inherit from his property, but even if there was only a small part of it, Du Kang felt overwhelmed seeing so many antiques.

Cough cough, he is not cursing the old man to die early, but just concerned about his health. Yesterday he drank at least two catties of vodka in one breath, and he drank it according to the way he drank every day, and no one would be able to bear it.

A few huge ivory next to it caught his attention. The long ivory was more than two meters long, and it looked so ferocious when bent.

How nice it would be to make ivory flower baskets.

I took two steps forward to examine it carefully, but found that it was not ivory at all. To be precise, it should be the ivory of a mammoth, which belonged to fossils buried underground for thousands of years.

However, it is very well preserved and is one of the best.

"Like this ivory?"

"of course."

This is the tusk of a mammoth. In particular, there is a mammoth skull with two tusks connected to it, which are obviously excavated together.

Through it, Du Kang seemed to see the invincible scene of the mammoth on the Siberian ice sheet.

It's a pity that the mammoth, which was originally invincible in all directions, has long been extinct, leaving only the individual ivory tusks, which have to be excavated from the permafrost and turned into ostentatious ornaments.

"If you like it, I will send you two to take back."

"Thank you dad."

"What do you think of my antiques?"

"It's great. It almost includes antiques from every country and nation in the world. I don't know how much it will cost to collect so many antiques. It is only possible for a wealthy family like you."

Shuisky laughed proudly. It took him a lot of time to collect these antiques, and being praised by others is what he is most proud of.

Du Kang took a magnifying glass and put on gloves to look at it. For an expert in antique appraisal, so many antiques can be called a gluttonous feast.

Especially for him, through these antiques, he can raise his level of antique identification to a higher level.

Shuisky was also appreciating his beloved antiques.

After waiting for a long time, seeing that he had been watching for an unknown amount of time before he could finish admiring it, he brought over an antique and said, "How about my chicken cup?"

"Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup is so precious."

Du Kang was overjoyed to take it over to have a look. The famous Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup was later even auctioned for a price of more than 2 million yuan.

Even among the many antiques in the world, it is very famous, and it is an extremely high-end one.

But after a while, he put down the chicken cup and sighed, "It's a pity that it's a fake, it was imitated by Lang Yao."

"How is it possible, I have asked many experts to verify that it is true."

"Fake is fake, I can still see this."

"Could it be possible that so many expert appraisals can be wrong?"

Du Kang explained, "Real chicken cups are very rare, not to mention you, not even the Forbidden City."

"It's not that there are two in the Forbidden City, you still want to lie to me."

Shuisky looked like you can't fool me, Du Kang nodded, "the Forbidden City does have one, and indeed there are two, but what he didn't say is that it's all fake.

This is not because he is spreading rumors, but in real time.

Looking at it now, it is indeed true. Even experts like Mr. Luo can't tell that it is fake. They always think that the two Chenghua Doucai cylinder cups are genuine.

But later, experts in appraisal overturned this conclusion, and the two chicken bowl cups were all fakes, imitations of Qinglang Kiln.

The Forbidden City does not even have a single authentic piece.

Originally, there were twelve authentic pieces, the real Chenghua Doucai Chicken Crock Cup.

During the Anti-Japanese War, cultural relics moved southward, and the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup was also taken away, and then detoured to Baodao.

I don't know how the experts picked them at that time, but they just picked out the twelve authentic ones and left two imitations here.

At that time, it wasn't that they didn't want to take all these cultural relics away. The main reason was that time was urgent and there was not enough personnel and funds, so they could only select important boutiques to take away.

Of course, fakes do not mean that they are not expensive. In fact, the Chenghua Doucai chicken cup imitated by Lang Kiln is also very valuable.

It's just that compared with the real product, it always feels good to say or bad to say.

Hearing what he said, Shuyski's face suddenly collapsed. He didn't expect that the genuine product he bought at a high price turned out to be a counterfeit.

Fortunately, the value is not low, otherwise he would really have the urge to scold her.

Putting the Doucai Chicken Cup aside, Du Kang continued to check it. When he opened a landscape painting, his eyes suddenly became fixed.

This painting is...

Du Kang looked at the painting and lowered his head in thought.

"What's the matter, it's just a painting, if you have anything to say, just say it."

"What if I tell you that this collection is also fake?"

Shuisky habitually patted his lower back, feeling the urge to pull out a knife. He had worked so hard to find a collection of antiques in the basement, and he called you over to show off, but you actually said it was all fake.

This is what his daughter likes, otherwise he would have to stab someone to death here.

Am I being embarrassed?
Du Kang hurriedly said, "Dad, don't be sad. Although this is fake, there are good things in it. If I'm not mistaken, this is the technique of hiding a painting inside a painting. On the surface, there is another painting inside a painting."

"you sure?"

"of course it's true."

"Then I have to find an expert to help me out."

"I'm a master." Facing his disbelieving gaze, Du Kang patted his chest and assured: "It's just a painting, it's very simple to make it with my ability."

Hearing what he said, Shuisky was half-believing. He didn't expect Du Kang to have such a skill, but he nodded in agreement, picked up the painting and took him to the study.

Open the door and go in. There are several bookshelves around, filled with all kinds of books.

Each tome is a masterpiece at first glance, but there is no way, because Western masterpieces are long.

It's not because it's a masterpiece that it makes sense to write it long, but because it's long enough to make money.

In order to cheat the manuscript fee, writers also have to pay for their food. How can you make a short story, so they will try to lengthen the length of the story as much as possible and make it into a big tome.

On the most conspicuous wall of the study is a deer head specimen, to be precise, it includes its upper body, not only the deer head, but also its front half and two front legs.

The antlers are divided into more than a dozen branches, coupled with the huge body, it seems that the deer king is jumping out of the wall.

The flexible performance of the deer is vividly displayed.

Du Kang always felt a little uncoordinated. You said that it is no problem for ordinary people to use deer heads as decorations in their study rooms.

But with Shuisky's family background, there is no need for such things as deer heads. They are all fierce beasts such as lions and tigers, and their heads are used as specimens.

Some homes are even directly covered with tiger skin cushions.

Seeming to see his doubts, Shuisky said, "Tell you, I hunted this with my own hands. I found this deer king in the vast land of Siberia, and I fell in love with it at that time.

After chasing it for a day on horseback, and then searching the wilderness for two days, I killed it and put its head here as a token of my valor. "

"Dad, you are amazing."

If you like it, you have to chop it up. You are really burning the piano and boiling the crane. If the people from the Animal Protection Association know about this, you can't spray it to death.

The poor deer king, because his horns, which were originally used to show off to attract the doe, were too beautiful, so his head was cut off and hung here as a decoration.
