Chapter 189

"I happen to be free too, so I'll go with you."

Mr. Li also became interested.

He spent a large sum of appearance fees to invite Yu Qingqian.

I was planning to ask Yu Qingqian to appraise his collection.

The two wandered around the villa together.

Yu Qingqian did not go directly to Su Bai, but first communicated with the guests present.

"Ma'am, are you interested in snuff bottles?"

He came to a female guest and saw that she was scooping out snuff from a small enamel snuff bottle, so he stepped forward and asked.

The female guest shook her head and said with a smile: "No, I just think snuff is fun, so I bought it to try it."

"The snuff bottle you have in your hand is incredible. It was a royal item of the late Qing Dynasty. It is worth a lot of money."

The female guest looked surprised: "Ah? Really? I found it from my dad's cabinet."

"That needs to be kept well."

Yu Qingqian reminded with a smile.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Yu for informing me."

The female guests thanked her profusely.

There are guests nearby who are interested in the Hetian jade pendant in the hands of the vendor, but they can't make up their mind.

Yu Qingqian only glanced at it and said calmly: "The oily feeling is too strong. It was soaked in acid."

The merchant was just about to quibble when he saw Mr. Li standing nearby.

He quickly changed his words with a flattering smile: "My pendant is sold at the price of a replica, only 1000 yuan."

Mr. Li didn't say anything.

After several appraisals, no one present doubted Yu Qingqian's vision.

Feeling that he was done showing off, Yu Qingqian finally walked to Su Bai's table.

However, he pretended not to recognize Su Bai and just hung around.

Mr. Li's eyes were attracted by the "Picture of Admonitions of Women's History" in Su Bai's hand.

The shape and expression of each character in the picture are extremely vivid.

"Eh? Is this an ancient painting?"

He walked over and raised his eyebrows.

This painting is too dilapidated. If it is not an antique, it is deliberately made old.

"Mr. Yu, what do you think of this painting?"

He turned around and asked Yu Qingqian for his opinion.

"fake."

Yu Qingqian only glanced at it again before blurting out.

"what?"

Mr. Li was stunned for a moment. He also studied antiques quite a bit, but he couldn't see where this scroll was fake.

However, Yu Qingqian only took one look and judged whether it was true or false.

It really surprised him.

"How did you know the painting was fake?"

Mr. Li asked curiously.

Yu Qingqian did not answer directly, but asked: "Mr. Li, if you see someone taking out a painting of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" and intending to sell it to you, do you think it is true or false?"

"fake."

"The reason?"

"Because "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is kept in the Palace Museum, how could it appear in the hands of outsiders? What is being sold must be a fake."

Mr. Li said of course.

"That's right. For the same reason, the "Proverbs of Women's History" preserved in the British Museum cannot appear here."

Yu Qingqian said with a smile.

He didn't look for other ways to fool Mr. Li.

Instead, he found a reason that was logical and irrefutable.

In this way, even if the scroll is later found to be authentic, Mr. Li will not doubt him.

"I see!"

Mr. Li reacted.

It turns out that this painting is an imitation of a famous painting in a museum!

No wonder Yu Qingqian could tell the truth from the falsehood just by looking at the contents of the scroll!
However, compared to the famous "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", the reputation of "Proverbs of Women's History" is not that great.

Mr. Li humbly asked for advice: "Mr. Yu, I don't know much about Chinese painting. What is the origin of the "Picture of Proverbs of a Female History"?"

"The "Picture of Admonitions for Female History" was painted by Gu Kaizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty based on Zhang Hua's article "Admonitions for Female History". The original text was used to advise the Empress Jia Nanfeng of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, that is, the wife of Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty who said, "Why don't you eat minced meat?"

Yu Qingqian continued to talk: "It is a pity that the original work of "The Picture of Women's History" has been lost. Nowadays, only two copies exist. The Song copy is kept in the Forbidden City, while the Tang copy is kept in the British Museum. It is only displayed for six weeks every year. The rest of the time is spent hiding in the secret room.”

In fact, he had already guessed the possibility of "Pictures of Admonitions of Women's History" appearing here.

That's what has been stolen from the British Museum!
Someone stole cultural relics from the secret room of the museum and sold them.

This can also explain why Charles has the Dunhuang suicide note in his hand.

Those ancient books are also from the British Museum!
Thinking of this, Yu Qingqian was both excited and worried.

Excited to finally have the chance to reclaim a stolen national treasure from the British Museum.

The worry is that thieves who steal national treasures may damage cultural relics!

The stolen cultural relics must be rescued as soon as possible!
After listening to Yu Qingqian's explanation, Mr. Li nodded suddenly.

However, he looked at Charles with a somewhat unkind look: "Why is it you again? I invited you to my place, not to sell fakes!"

The surrounding guests also listened to Yu Qingqian's explanation.

They all showed disgust.

The Art Exchange Salon is not for you to sell fakes.

Several guests who bought things from Charles hurriedly brought the items in their hands to Yu Qingqian for appraisal.

Especially Miss Wu, who originally used the abstract painting to mock Qian Xiaoqian for not knowing art.

Now he is silent.

He didn't even dare to give Yu Qing the money to verify its authenticity.

Worry about being laughed at if found to be a fake.

Charles was embarrassed.

When he purchased the goods, he had no idea what the scroll was about, and he had no way of telling whether it was genuine or not.

I just thought it was an ancient painting, but someone saw the problem at a glance.

He hurriedly explained: "When I purchased it, I really didn't expect it to be a fake."

Mr. Li's face became extremely ugly and he was about to drive people away.

Su Bai stood up at this time: "Mr. Charles probably really doesn't understand ancient paintings, otherwise he wouldn't deceive people with fakes of such famous paintings. Maybe he is also a victim."

"Yes, yes, I was also deceived when I was purchasing goods!"

Charles quickly agreed with Su Bai's statement.

If you really want to deceive people, wouldn't it be even more deceiving if you look for paintings by less famous painters?

Mr. Li nodded slowly.

It's just that people knew that the fakes were sold from this villa, and it was his reputation that was ruined!
He said disgustedly: "Since it is a fake, just put it away."

"Yes Yes."

Charles was about to put away the scroll.

Su Bai stopped him: "It's a fake anyway, why not sell it to me cheaper?"

"you want?"

Charles was a little surprised.

Su Bai spent a lot of money to buy a fake pastel plate before.

Now he has to buy a fake painting, which is really beyond his comprehension.

"Although it's a fake, the artist is really good. It would look good as a normal piece of art hanging in your garage at home."

Su Bai's explanation sounds reasonable.

"It's a fake anyway, so just give it to Miss Su."

Charles said helplessly.

Su Bai waved his hand and said: "Let's do this. Whatever the purchase price is, I will give you the money. I can't let you lose."

"Miss Su is so refreshing."

Charles thanked him heartily.

"I collected this scroll from a pawn shop in the UK last week, and the purchase price was only about 5000 yuan."

Charles said a little sheepishly.

At that time, he lowered the purchase price to the lowest, and originally thought it would be sold as an ancient painting at a high price. Unexpectedly, the experts invited by Mr. Li saw the problem at a glance and damaged his reputation.

Charles has already scolded the buyer's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

"5000 yuan, right?"

Su Bai readily paid and pocketed the "Pictures of Admonitions of Women's History".

She missed a national treasure, but she didn't want to let Charles go.

I plan to continue to inquire about the whereabouts of the Dunhuang suicide note.

"Mr. Charles, if there is anything interesting, take it out and take a look."

Charles was stunned for a moment: "Yes, and please ask Miss Su to wait a moment."

After learning that the scroll was a fake, many guests lost interest in watching.

Unexpectedly, Su Baisi didn't care and still planned to buy something from him.

Charles felt inexplicably moved in his heart.

He didn't hide them either, and took out antiques and art pieces one by one.

Instead, he opened the big suitcase directly.

Show all your products in front of Su Bai.

All jewelry and porcelain fell into Su Bai's eyes.

Only there are no objects such as ancient books.

This made Su Bai a little disappointed.

Perhaps it was because ancient books such as the Dunhuang Posthumous Notes were too worn that Charles felt they would not be sold at this art exchange salon, so he did not bring them to the venue.

We have to find a way to get something out of Charles.

Su Bai thought about how to speak.

Charles planned her thoughts.

"Miss Su, look at this bowl, I promise it won't be a fake this time!"

He held a glowing black tea bowl in both hands and carefully placed it in front of Su Bai.

Su Bai's eyes were instantly attracted to this tea bowl.

Judging from the shape of the vessel, this is a jianzhan!
What's with the faint light and spots on it?

Su Bai couldn't help but take a breath.

seems to realize something.

Could it be Tianmu glaze? !
System ,detection.

She didn't even have the patience to make a judgment. She just thought about it and tested it with her backhand.

All the information about the tea bowl immediately appeared before my eyes.

[Item: Yaobian Tianmu Tea Bowl]

[Material: Porcelain]

[Era: Northern Song Dynasty]

[Value: 5 million]

Su Bai was so excited that his hands were shaking.

Quickly put down the cup in your hand to avoid spilling the tea.

She calmed down and picked up the Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl on the table to observe.

Visible to the naked eye, large and small spots naturally appear in the black glaze. Surrounding these spots are red, green, sky blue and other colored haloes that shine under light from different directions.

And from the overall perspective of the vessel, there will be large-scale color changes depending on the viewing angle, just like a chameleon.

Although the Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl is made in my country, its name comes from Japan.

According to historical records, during the Kamakura period, Japanese monks who went to study at the Tianmu Mountain Buddhist Temple in ZJ Province, my country, brought back tea bowls from Tianmu Mountain, hence the name Tianmu.

The Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl of the Song Dynasty has two major characteristics. One is that it has circular spots, and the other is that the spots are surrounded by blue brilliance, which is extremely unique.

"Yobian" is also revered as "the first tea vessel in the Song Dynasty" and the supreme glaze color among the built-in vessels.

It's a pity that it requires porcelain glaze and kiln fire in an extremely magical atmosphere to create one by chance.

There are only three complete Song Dynasty Yaobian Tenmu tea bowls in existence in the world. They are all in Japan and are regarded as national treasures.

There are only half of the remaining Yaobian Tianmu tea bowls unearthed in Suzhou and Hangzhou in China.

This shows how rare the Yaobian Tenmoku tea bowl is.

Although the system has given a price of 5 million.

However, Su Bai felt that if this Changtianmu Zhan were to be auctioned, the price would definitely be more than this, and it might even double!
Another leak from the British Museum?
Su Bai frowned.

The British Museum collects countless treasures, but has never displayed the Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl.

Of course, it is not ruled out that the British Museum actually owns an obsidian Tianmu tea bowl, but it has been kept secret.

The most critical thing right now is to get this Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl. "How can I sell this tea bowl?"

Su Bai asked in a calm tone as much as possible.

Charles thought for a moment and replied: "20, Miss Su, what do you think of this price?"

This quotation really shocked Su Bai.

Only 20 million?
What's the difference between it and Bai Jian?
Su Bai almost agreed immediately.

Still held back.

What if Charles agrees too quickly and suddenly goes back on his word?
I still think we should take a more prudent approach.

She pretended to be hesitant: "I'll ask my dad. If he likes it, I'll buy it."

"Miss Su, please feel free to do so."

Charles was not in a hurry and said with a smile.

Su Bai immediately took out his mobile phone to take pictures and send messages.

the other side.

Yu Qingqian noticed that the phone in his pocket was vibrating.

I knew it was Su Bai who sent him another message.

I thought something unexpected happened during the acquisition of "Proverbs of Women's History" and I needed my help.

He quickly took out his phone to check.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Yu Qingqian suddenly coughed violently.

Mr. Li turned around.

He asked with concern: "Is Mr. Yu okay?"

"It's okay, I just choked on the tea."

Yu Qingqian waved his hand.

"What are you doing standing still! Come here quickly and bring a piece of cloth to wipe it with Mr. Yu!"

Mr. Li immediately called the waiter next to him.

Yu Qingqian thanked him.

He looked at the phone screen again.

The Yaobian Tianmu tea bowls are out!

This is so outrageous!

However, there are lessons learned from "The Picture of Women's History".

Yu Qingqian was much calmer this time.

Su Bai sent a message without asking him for help.

In other words, just tell him.

Su Bai can handle it himself.

However, Yu Qingqian still pretended to be bored and walked slowly towards Su Bai's direction with his hands behind his back.

"Miss Su, how are you doing?"

Charles asked eagerly.

This time it was a 20 yuan deal, and he didn't want any more accidents.

"It's not bad. My father liked this tea bowl very much, and he asked me to buy it."

Su Bai put down the phone and said with a slight smile.

"That's great. Your father is really a collector and art connoisseur with a unique vision!"

Charles was unstinting in his flattery.

Su Bai smiled and said nothing, just when the two were about to complete the deal.

A short man in a black suit walked over.

When he saw the utensils on the table, he couldn't help but marvel.

"Is this the Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl?"

Charles raised his head, looked at the man, and nodded: "Yes, that seems to be the name."

He had previously searched for the tea bowl's name using an image search engine.

It's just that the term "Yao Transformation Third Eye" is too strange for a foreigner.

Charles failed to remember.

Anyway, it's a bowl for tea. It doesn't matter what it's called.

Just don't mention it.

The short man pointed at the Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl and said, "How much does this tea bowl cost? I want it!"

"I'm really sorry, Miss Su is already planning to buy this tea bowl."

Charles said with a smile.

But the short man ignored this.

He said in a colonel's accent: "How much does she pay?"

"20."

"I can offer a higher price than her, what do you think of 25?"

"This one……"

After all, Charles was in business, so it was impossible for him to make money without making money.

He looked at Su Bai in embarrassment.

Su Bai frowned.

The kid wants to cut off what he likes?
There are no doors!

"Do you know what first come, first served means? Don't Japanese people even know a little bit of politeness?"

With an angry look on her face, she scolded the short man unceremoniously.

The short man didn't expect Su Bai's reaction to be so big.

For a moment, I didn't know how to deal with it.

"Okay, you want to compete with me to see who is richer, right?"

Su Bai snorted coldly and tried to show his arrogance: "No matter how much he pays, I will add 10 more!"

The sound attracted the attention of the surrounding guests.

Everyone looked in Su Bai's direction.

"Miss Su, don't get excited, sit down and talk first."

Charles persuaded on the surface, but he was happy in his heart.

He is indeed a playboy, he would rather spend more money just to have a chance.

He looked at the short man expectantly, waiting for him to continue to offer a higher price.

The short man hesitated.

Given that Charles had sold many fakes before, he suspected that this obsidian Tenmu tea bowl was also imitated using modern techniques.

Spending more than 30 yuan on a fake seems like a bit of a loss.

But if this Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl is really an antique, he will regret it to death if he misses it.

After hesitating for a moment, the short man finally said: "I will offer 40."

"50."

Su Bai followed without hesitation, staring at the short man coldly.

At this moment, a cold voice came over.

"Mr. Suzuki, does it seem inappropriate for you to grab something with a young lady?"

"Mr. He?"

Suzuki Jiro turned around and was stunned when he saw the person coming.

It turned out that He Qiujun was chatting with several celebrities.

Suddenly hearing Su Bai's voice, he seemed a little excited.

Looking back, I found that Su Bai seemed to have had a dispute with the Japanese Suzuki Erlang.

This is an opportunity to please Su Bai.

He Qiujun stood up without saying a word and scolded Suzuki Erlang.

Suzuki Jiro said awkwardly: "Sorry, I just like this tea bowl so much that I couldn't help but want to buy it."

Then he looked at Su Bai: "This beautiful lady, can you give me this tea bowl? I will give you an antique hairpin from Japan as compensation."

As he spoke, he took out a small box from his pocket. After opening it, there lay a finely crafted Japanese hairpin.

"Miss Su, what do you think?"

He Qiujun turned around and asked.

Su Bai sneered: "Is this for geishas? I don't want it!"

Everyone knows that Japanese geisha is an unattractive profession.

Hearing what Su Bai said, He Qiujun was also angry.

"Mr. Suzuki, do you want to humiliate Miss Su by giving the geisha hairpin?"

"No, I really don't mean that. This hairpin is made by a famous craftsman in Japan and is extremely precious..."

Suzuki Jiro didn't expect that a hairpin would cause misunderstanding, so he hurriedly explained.

He Qiujun didn't care about this and said sternly: "Mr. Suzuki, I ask you to apologize to Miss Su immediately!"

Suzuki Erlang knew that He Qiujun's identity was unusual and did not want to break up with him.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Miss Su, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to take out this hairpin."

Su Bai waved his hand: "Since you didn't mean it, forget it."

"But it's okay if you want this tea bowl. We compete fairly. If your price is higher than mine, I'll give it to you."

Suzuki Jiro hesitated for a moment.

Before, he had a sense of luck, thinking that spending 30 to [-] yuan to buy the Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl would not be a loss even if it was fake.

But now the price has reached 50.

You have to think carefully about whether to continue following up.

"There are only three Yaobian Tianmu teacups handed down from the Song Dynasty in the world. This teacup should be imitated by today's craftsmen."

Yu Qingqian's voice came.

He saw that Su Bai's acquisition process seemed to have an accident, so he decided to come over and help.

"I remember that there was a Japanese ceramics master named Nagae Sokichi. He spent more than 30 years studying and finally reproduced the Yaobian Tenmoku glaze. This Yaobian Tenmoku tea bowl should be his work."

"Changjiang Xunji is a true artist."

In Yu Qingqian's words, he did not hesitate to praise Yangtze River Suji.

After hearing these words, Suzuki Jiro felt a sudden realization: "Yange Sokichi is indeed Japan's leading porcelain master. It turns out to be the master's work. No wonder it is so exquisite!"

Including He Qiujun and Mr. Li, they all recognized the appraisal results of Yu Qingqian.

After all, everyone had preconceptions that it was impossible for an authentic product from the Song Dynasty to appear in Charles's hands.

After talking about it, Suzuki Erlang concluded that this Yaobian Tenmu tea bowl was made by Changjiang Sokichi.

Nagae Sokichi is still alive, and the tea bowls he made can be purchased in Japan.

Why spend a high price of 50 to buy it in Hong Kong Island.

"Miss Su, since you love Master Changjiang's works so much, it would be better if you don't overwhelm others."

Suzuki Erlang made up his mind not to continue bidding with Su Bai.

Just take a photo as a souvenir.

Seeing that the plan was successful, Yu Qingqian also waved his hand and went to other places to hide his merit and fame.

Su Bai held back his smile and glanced at Yu Qingqian gratefully.

If it weren't for his deception, he wouldn't have won the Yaobian Tianmu Tea Bowl so easily.

In order to avoid further complications, Su Bai paid all the previous payments in one go.

Prepare to leave with the national treasure in hand.

However, He Qiujun came over again.

He was speechless and said: "Miss Su, this tea bowl you bought is really good. There seems to be a universe in the bowl."

"It is a masterpiece after all."

Su Bai shrugged.

This is no nonsense, can the treasures passed down from generation to generation in the Song Dynasty not be beautiful?
"Miss Su likes tea bowls like this? I know a Japanese friend who can help buy the works of Master Changjiang Soji."

He Qiujun recommended enthusiastically.

"I bought it for my father. One is enough."

Su Bai had no interest in anything made by the Japanese.

She only thought about whether she could find any clues about the Dunhuang suicide note from Charles.

Looking around, I caught a glimpse of Charles still selling the antiques and art on the table.

There were a few things inside that caught her eye.

They were several red and yellow objects, extremely bright in color.

"Does he have Hedinghong in his hand?"

The red crane crown is the skull of the helmeted hornbill.

Several female guests passing by were attracted by the red crane crown and curiously picked it up to ask about the price.

Su Bai suddenly had an idea.

She took out her cell phone and found the phone number of the National Security Bureau.
