Shengshibaojian

The night before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

There is still one day left before Shen Qiu and Hong Chaoyang's battle of treasures, and the enthusiasm in the market is already unprecedented.

The program of "Appreciation of Treasures and Swords" was originally broadcast once a week. Because of this special day, a special episode was added. In addition, the tickets for the live broadcast have long been sold out, and it is even hard to get a ticket.

This is the most competitive competition in the history of Jiangcheng Antiques, a duel between two treasure appreciating masters, one old and one young, one is a new master, and the other is a veteran master in the battlefield. There is no doubt that the excitement of the competition is also conceivable.

At the same time, Han Kuisheng set up a luxurious banquet in the most luxurious five-star hotel in Jiangcheng.

The [-] dishes during the banquet were all the hotel's signature selected dishes. There were four people in the banquet, namely Han Kuisheng, Han Cong and his son, Hong Chaoyang, and the gentleman who just arrived in Jiangcheng today, Xu Mingliang .

"Brother..." As soon as the banquet started, Hong Chaoyang gave Xu Mingliang a waste of time: "Actually, I really don't need you to come to Jiangcheng this time. Shen Qiu only has that little strength. I can handle him easily by myself." , I’m afraid it’s a little overkill for Senior Brother Xu to come here.”

Xu Mingliang took a sip of white wine gracefully: "I have a general understanding of Shen Qiu's situation. To be honest, in this world, it is indeed very rare for him to have such awareness at his age. I have to say that Shen Qiu's The talent is still very good, quite similar to what I looked like when I was young, it would be a pity if it is so useless..."

Han Kuisheng continued: "Brother, we have also worked hard and offered him many expensive conditions, but this Shen Qiu is a master who will not accept softness and toughness, and we have used all the methods that should be used. There is no way to win me over, he even called Ye Mei to suppress me..."

"Well, I know everything about the situation. It's no pity that things have come to this point... I came to Jiangcheng first because of the bronze wooden fish. I came to visit Junior Brother Han by the way. I know Chaoyang and Shen Qiu's fighting treasure. Then Just stay here and be a spectator, Junior Brother Hong, it's fine for you to perform normally when the time comes, but don't make any trouble, or you will embarrass our sect!"

"Hmph! Brother Xu, are you joking! Although I am not as good as you, dealing with a small character like Shen Qiu is still a piece of cake! If I can't take Shen Qiu down, I can do whatever the master does!"

Han Kuisheng came up again and said: "Brother, I also believe in Brother Hong's strength, but the only thing I am worried about now is Guo Quancai, if Guo Quancai shows up..."

"Hehe...I came to Jiangcheng to defend myself. If Guo Quancai dares to show his face! I will take his head back to announce the good news! Haha...I wish he could show up..."

……

At 06:30 in the evening in Jiangcheng, the lights of the tavern on Chang'an Street were lit up, and a stylishly dressed beauty was sitting in the tavern, looking around anxiously, as if she was waiting for someone here.

The beauty's eye-catching appearance attracted the special attention of many men around, because this tavern is usually a gathering place for alcoholics, and it is rare to see such a young, beautiful and temperamental beauty.

The beauty is none other than Xie Jingwen, the boss of Xuanbaozhai. She didn't come here to drink, but to meet a very important person here.

Originally, Xie Jingwen would not meet anyone alone, but the name of this important person surprised her, and the appearance of this important person has a vital relationship with Shen Qiu's tomorrow's fight, so she had to come tonight .

As night fell, it was around 07:30 when the big man came late. The big man was dressed in shabby clothes, carrying a snakeskin bag in his hand, and took out a bottle of Jiangcheng's own Laobaigan from the snakeskin bag .

The old man sat across from Xie Jingwen, unscrewed the lid without being polite, and drank three taels of white wine with the two cold dishes in front of him.

"Old man, are you... Are you really Guo Quancai?"

Xie Jingwen agreed to meet here only after hearing the name of this person. Who is Guo Quancai? Anyone who has been involved in antiques in Jiangcheng knows that Jiangcheng's number one master of appreciating treasures even surpasses Hong Chaoyang.

It is said that this Guo Quancai appraises treasures differently from others. He relies on a single thread, an ordinary and impermanent fine woolen thread, to listen to the sound of porcelain, and to distinguish the traces of calligraphy and painting!

What's the meaning?It is said that when identifying porcelain, tighten a thin woolen thread on the mouth of the porcelain, and use the echo from the rebound of the woolen yarn to distinguish the authenticity of the porcelain and various situations.

When encountering calligraphy and painting antiques, use this thin line to pass over the surface of the calligraphy and painting, and judge the various conditions of the calligraphy and painting according to the traces on the surface.

It can be said that Guo Quancai's skill is unique in the entire Jiangcheng, and even in the whole country. I don't know how many antiques have passed through his hands. Only after Hong Chaoyang did he have the title of No. [-] Master of Appreciating Treasures.

As a result, Hong Chaoyang was reduced to Jiangcheng's thousand-year-old second child.

"You...are you really old Mr. Guo?" Xie Jingwen asked in disbelief, and suddenly felt an inexplicable excitement, as if a little fan saw his dream idol.

The old man took a deep breath and said, "What? Do you think I'm here to get drunk? Although the old man loves to drink, he still doesn't want to do such a thing..."

While talking, the old man took out a small piece of wool from his pocket, but after years of baptism, this wool is now red-black in color.

The old man gestured at Xie Jingwen, indicating a sapphire-faced ring she was wearing on her finger.

Xie Jingwen understood, and then took off the ring on her finger and handed it to the old man.

The old man tore apart almost a foot of wool with two fingers, gently scraped across the surface of the ring, and returned it to Xie Jingwen in less than a few seconds.

"Your ring is well preserved. It has a history of at least 200 years. Back then, it was only the daughter of a wealthy family who was able to wear this expensive jade-faced ring. The ring is engraved with auspicious patterns. With the theme of a hundred birds facing the phoenix, the vivid depiction of many birds is not the work of a court craftsman, but in terms of its completeness, it is not inferior to the craftsman of the Qing Dynasty at all!"

Xie Jingwen nodded again and again: "Yes, yes! Master Guo is right! This jade-faced ring was left to me by my father. It was received by my ancestors back then. Master Guo's eyesight is really extraordinary!"

The so-called expert knows if there is one as soon as he makes a move. Originally, Xie Jingwen didn't quite believe that the slovenly old man in front of him was Guo Quancai. When he took out the woolen thread, Xie Jingwen already knew it.

When the other party fully explained the situation of the jade-faced ring, Xie Jingwen unconditionally believed in the identity of the uncle in front of her. The person sitting in front of her should be the number one treasure appreciating master in Jiangcheng.

"Little girl, since I called you out, I'll make a long story short. What I want to talk about is the treasure fight between Shen Qiu and Hong Chaoyang tomorrow! Are you interested in knowing? My opinion on the treasure fight between these two people? "

"Master Guo! That's what I wish for! You have fought against Hong Chaoyang, so you know his strength very well! It would be great to have your guidance, Master Guo!"

"Then I'll tell you the result clearly. I don't need to go to the scene of tomorrow's fight to know the answer. Shen Qiu will definitely lose!" Guo Quancai said bluntly, raising his head and taking a sip of liquor.

"Ah...Master Guo...this...why..." Xie Jingwen opened her small mouth and asked in surprise.

"Does it need to be said? As you said, I have fought against Hong Chaoyang, and I know his strength better than anyone else. Shen Qiu's fight with him is undoubtedly an egg against a stone. Losing a fight is still relatively light. According to me Seeing that he will end up the same as Feng Kaiyuan in all likelihood, or he may die suddenly on the spot..."

"Ah... Shen Qiuhui... Master Guo, you..."
