Siheyuan, a comfortable life under Zhengyang Gate

"Master, I will leave now. I will bring Sister Gao to see you and Master's wife when I am free."

"Uncle Kun, we are leaving now. I will come to see you later."

"Slow down."

"Got it."

"Goodbye, Uncle Kun."

"Goodbye."

After his disciple and Wu Zhanlang left, Yang Yukun mixed some rice with the remaining dry-pot mutton offal and poured it into Black Panther's rice bowl.

I cleaned the kitchen and dining room, swept the yard, washed up, went to the living room to watch TV for a while, and then went back to my room to sleep.

After breakfast the next day, Yang Yukun took Black Panther out for a walk, strolled around the square, and then strolled back home.

"Xiaokun, Jingping, are you at home?"

"Woof woof woof..."

"Black Panther, it's us, don't you recognize us?"

"Lao Ma, Mu Linai, I haven't seen you for a long time."

Yang Yukun was preparing lunch in the kitchen. When he looked up, he saw Madaro and Mu Linai.

The last time I saw this couple was probably about half a year ago. At that time, Madaro and Mulinai said they wanted to go back to their hometown in Milijian, and they haven’t been seen since then.

"Xiao Kun, long time no see. I brought you some wine." Madaro raised the wine in his hand.

"Thank you. You haven't had lunch yet, right? Come in and sit down. I'll prepare two side dishes for you and we'll have a drink later."

"okay."

"Did you just come back from Mi Li Jian today?"

"No, we both flew here from France. We are traveling to France."

After returning to Milijian half a year ago, Madaro and Mulinai went to France for a trip. They stayed in France for more than three months and just flew to the capital from France today.

“Is France fun?”

"It's OK, Xiaokun. Mu Linai and I are planning to go back to Milijian. We are planning to give up Pianerye's house."

"Cancel the lease, and don't come to Xia Country anymore?"

"Of course we will come. Mu Linai and I like Xiaguo very much, but we won't live here for long. We will come to Xiaguo for tourism when we have time."

"when are we leaving?"

"We will go to see Mr. Niu in a while, give him the key, and then take the 3:30 pm flight to Guangzhou."

"Leaving this afternoon?"

"Xiao Kun, you are welcome to visit Mi Li Jian when you have time in the future."

This time when they returned to Xia Country, Madaro and Mu Linai came to cancel their lease.

I have lived in the hutong for eight years and I am really reluctant to leave.

After giving up the house, Madaro and Mulinai will travel in Xia Country for a while and then return to Milijian.

If they have the chance in the future, they will still travel to Xia Country to see the beautiful scenery and taste the delicious food.

"Old Ma, Mu Lin'ai, see you later." Yang Yukun prepared some appetizers and poured wine for Madaro and Mu Lin'ai.

"See you later."

After having lunch at Yang Yukun’s house, Madaro and Mu Lin’ai went to Niu Ye’s house and handed the key to Pianerye’s courtyard to Niu Ye.

Yang Yukun drove Madaro and Mu Linai to the airport, prepared some fruits for them to eat on the way, and also prepared two jars of Eight Immortals Drunk and Hanhai Nectar.

"Old Ma, Mulinai, let's say goodbye now and have a safe journey."

"Xiao Kun, see you again if we are lucky."

"Take care of yourself."

"You too." Madaro said, "Mulinai and I will go in first, you can go back too."

"You guys go in, we're leaving too." After watching Madaro and Mu Lin'ai enter the terminal hall, Yang Yukun turned and left.

Just after leaving the airport, Yang Yukun received a call from Yang Feng, who said he had something to discuss with him.

After returning to Qianmenlouzi, Yang Yukun didn't even go home, but went directly to his master's house in Yanzhi Hutong.

…………

"Great grandfather is here."

"Uncle Kun."

"Master." After entering the room, Yang Yukun greeted his master and then asked Yang Feng, "You said you wanted to see me for something. What is it?"

"Grandpa, please judge." Yang Feng pointed at the item on the table. "Tang Sancai horse." As soon as he entered the room, Yang Yukun saw the item on the table, a Tang Sancai horse, and took a look at it: "Did you find this?"

"I just bought this item from Panjiayuan this morning. Great Grandpa, what do you think of it?"

"That's great. I remember you bought one a few years ago, right? We can make a perfect pair."

"Grandfather, you figured it out so quickly?"

"It's the same as the batch of things that appeared in Panjiayuan a few years ago. It should be made by the same person. However, after a few years, this person's skills have become more advanced. Even I was almost deceived."

Before he touched it, Yang Yukun also thought that this object was real.

After taking a closer look, I realized that the thing was wrong. It was a replica of a Tang Sancai horse.

It’s just that the imitator’s skills are very advanced, and ordinary people can’t really tell the difference.

The imitation technique is exactly the same as the Northern Wei Dynasty pottery figurines and Tang Dynasty tri-color horses that appeared at the Liulichang Ghost Market auction in August 1981, and the Tang Dynasty tri-color horse that Yang Feng bought at Panjiayuan in October 1988. They were definitely made by the same person.

Today's Tang Sancai horse is much better than the imitations that appeared back then. If it weren't for his rich experience, even he would have been fooled.

"Grandpa is still the best." Yang Feng gave him a thumbs up in admiration.

"Uncle Kun's level of ceramic identification is the best in the city," Yang Guangcheng exclaimed.

He has devoted most of his life to the study of ceramic identification and is also a specially invited ceramic restoration expert at the Forbidden City. However, he is not as good as Yang Yukun in the field of ceramic identification.

When Yang Feng showed him the Tang Sancai horse, he authenticated it as a genuine product.

Marquis Papa smiled and took a sip of tea, looking at his disciple with considerable pride.

This kid is worthy of being the apprentice taught by his master, Hou Polan. His level of antique identification has surpassed that of his master, and he is even better than his master.

Of course, Yang Yukun would not tell his master and the others that the reason why his antique identification skills could reach such a high level, in addition to his extraordinary talent and hard work, was also due to the bonus of the portable planting space.

He started learning from his master when he was eleven years old, and it has been twenty-two years now. In addition, the time flow rate in the portable planting space is three times faster than that in the normal world, which means it has been sixty-six years.

His talent and hard work allow him to learn in one year what others learn in several years, so it is hard to imagine that his appraisal level is not high.

"Did you make a mistake?"

"I bought it as if it were a real thing." Yang Feng said with a wry smile.

This Tang Sancai horse is so real that he spent a huge price to get one.

When he returned to the store and saw the Tang Sancai horse that he had made a hole in that year, Yang Feng's heart suddenly skipped a beat, thinking that he might have made a hole in it again, so he hurried to Liulichang to find his great-grandfather.

Unexpectedly, when the great grandfather saw the Tang Sancai horse, he was not sure whether it was real or not, so the two of them decided to go to Qianmenlouzi to find the great grandfather.

When they arrived at the great-grandfather's house, they found that the great-grandfather was not at home, so Yang Feng and his great-grandfather went to the Houye's house in Yanzhi Hutong.

After more than half an hour of identification and discussion, the Marquis was sure that this Tang Sancai horse was a replica, which shows the high level of the replicator.

"This thing is really real. It's normal to be fooled. If you let a hundred people see it, 97% or 80% will think it's real."

Yang Yukun pointed out to Yang Guangcheng and Yang Feng what was fake about this thing, so they would be able to tell it apart next time they encountered something like this.

"Then the experts from the Forbidden City Museum, didn't they also make a mistake?"

Yang Yukun asked in confusion: "Is there something about the Forbidden City Museum involved?"

"There were quite a lot of goods in this batch, and most of them were bought back by the Forbidden City Museum, which said they were newly unearthed cultural relics."

The Tang Sancai horses that appeared in Panjiayuan this time were not just the one Yang Feng bought, but a large batch, including many Northern Wei pottery figurines.

After the Forbidden City Museum received the news, they rushed to Panjiayuan to prevent the loss of cultural relics.

After being appraised by experts from the Forbidden City Museum, this batch of Tang tri-colored glazed horses and Northern Wei Dynasty pottery figurines were confirmed to be newly unearthed cultural relics.

Except for a few pieces, most of them were bought by the Forbidden City Museum.

His Tang Sancai horse was identified as a replica by his great-grandfather and the marquis. Doesn't that mean that the experts at the Forbidden City Museum were also wrong?

"If the items bought by the Forbidden City Museum are the same as the Tang Sancai horse you found, then the experts at the Forbidden City Museum are most likely mistaken."

"My Lord, Great Grandfather, Great Grandfather, I just remembered something."

"what's up?"

"Do you still remember the batch of Northern Wei Dynasty pottery figurines that appeared in Panjiayuan two years ago?"

"I heard from Brother Xiaowu that the Forbidden City Museum bought all of them."

"Yes, do you think that the batch of Northern Wei Dynasty pottery figurines that the Forbidden City Museum bought back two years ago were made by the same person as this batch of things?"

"If that's the case, it's going to be fun."

Two years ago, Yang Yukun heard from Han Chunming and Yang Feng that a batch of Northern Wei Dynasty pottery figurines also appeared in Panjiayuan at that time.

Unfortunately, when they got the news, all the items had already been bought by the Forbidden City Museum, and they regretted it for a long time.

If the batch of Northern Wei pottery figurines bought by the Forbidden City Museum two years ago and the Tang Sancai Northern Wei pottery figurines that appeared in Panjiayuan this time were imitated by the same person, that would be very funny, and something bad would happen.

Yang Yukun was quite curious about the person who copied these things, and he really wanted to meet him if he had the chance. (End of this chapter)
