The Book of Appreciation

Old Zheng shouted that Wu Di had uncovered the mystery that the old man had kept for decades. Wen Yaru was taken aback when he heard the words, and jumped up from the sofa. With an expression of disbelief on his face, he pointed at Old Zheng and stuttered:

"Old Zheng, you... he... oops! So Xiao Wu is right about everything?"

"That's right! It's all right! Master! If this news gets out, how embarrassing are you for my old fellows!"

Wu Di didn't know what to say, he just laughed along with him.

Old Zheng stared into Wu Di's eyes and asked:

"Xiao Wu, do you know how these paintings come from?"

Wu Di shook his head, he was a little embarrassed, these paintings are indeed difficult to distinguish between real and fake, and with his real level, he is only half right!However, even if everything is correct, there is no need to be so excited, right?

"These paintings are the only inheritance left to me by the old man. In my heart, each piece is a priceless treasure. My Zheng family will also collect it as a family heirloom in the future. So these years, no matter what price others offer, I have no I once sold one. Did you know? It was Zheng Banqiao’s imitation of Wentong’s ink bamboo. A few years ago, a Taiwanese businessman identified the authenticity of the painting. , the highest bid exceeded [-] million, and I didn't even agree!"

Wu Di's expression did not change. Although he has only been in the industry for a few months, he is deeply impressed by the mentality of collectors like these. Every piece of collection seems to be their beloved child.Even when it is a last resort, do you always see a conscientious parent exchange their children for money?However, it is a bit strange that this kind of mentality appears in Lao Zheng, a businessman.

"The first time I saw these paintings was when I studied antiques for ten years and thought I was successful and complacent. The old man didn't criticize me, but asked me to identify the authenticity of these paintings. In the next ten years, I have a total of I watched it five times, but I didn’t get the affirmation from the old man once. The old man didn’t tell me the standard answer until he passed away, which is exactly the same as what Xiao Wu said! Tell me, how can I not be excited?”

Wen Yaru stayed where he was, so isn't it a compliment to Lao Zheng?

"Old Zheng, to hear what you said, do you think our brothers have lived in vain for decades? I have worked hard for so many years, and I thought it was pretty good to recognize seven fake paintings, but I didn't expect it to be wrong. It’s a mess! Wu Di, I’m really glad I didn’t accept you as an apprentice that day, I’ll only mislead my disciples for a monster like you, let everyone like Chang Lao have a headache! Hahahaha!”

After spending more than half a day in Lao Zheng's shop, Wu Di was also in a good mood after seeing ten peerless treasures.In particular, he confirmed the authenticity of the five paintings by his own ability. After listening to the conversation between Wen Yaru and Lao Zheng later, he knew that this was already a very good achievement!

Declining the dinner invitation, Wu Di left contentedly, and Lao Zheng and Zheng Zhuya delivered it to the door together.Zheng Zhuya suddenly asked Wu Di quietly:

"Brother Xiao Wu, can you tell me what is the treasure you are going to participate in the treasure fighting conference?"

Wu Di scratched his head, this girl's name changed again!After a moment of hesitation, he said:

"I still don't know what Master is going to ask me to bring to participate, but I don't have a lot of collections. Most of them are porcelain. You will know when the time comes."

Zheng Zhuya pursed her mouth delicately, and said with a little dissatisfaction:

"Hmph! Keep it a secret? Well, let me get to know your baby well then."

The next day Wu Di rushed to Chang Lao's villa, and when Yang Lao saw him, he laughed and said:

"Xiao Wu, your master and I have already discussed about your participation in Dou Bao. Haha, I am really looking forward to this biennial conference. Those old things who look pious on weekdays will also follow Just like a child... that is a wonderful sight that you can't see on weekdays!"

"what?"

"Xiao Wu, don't listen to old Yang's nonsense, it's just that we are old acquaintances, so we don't pay much attention to our words and deeds... However, there are a few little guys who are really fun..."

Now Wu Di was even more strange. Did they mean that something interesting would happen at the Dou Bao Conference?

When Wu Di opened his eyes again, the Dou Bao Conference came as scheduled!

The full name of the Doubao Conference is the Chinese Folk Classical Art Collection Conference. It has been held five times, and each time it is held in the Forbidden City.In previous Treasure Fighting Conferences, everyone, regardless of age, status, or reputation, tried their best, and rare treasures emerged one after another, which really gave everyone a lot of insight.This time, due to the early exposure of the Yuanji blue-glazed plum vase, although the notification was a bit late, basically all those who were eligible to participate still came.There are 110 people in total, most of them are one old with one new or two new, the youngest of them are Zheng Zhuya and Wu Di, and the youngest one is about [-] years old.

The conference was held in an empty hall converted into a conference room. Everyone transferred to a bus at a side gate of the Forbidden City and drove directly to the square in front of a certain hall.

Chang is always the Taishan Beidou of the antique world, the veteran of the Doubao competition, everyone who attended the meeting knew him, so he was greeted constantly in the car.Even Wu Di, who was sitting next to him, received no less attention than him. Many seniors brought their disciples to talk directly with Wu Di, which made him deeply feel what it means to be flattered.

After getting out of the car, it was even more exaggerated.Those who arrived first did not enter the meeting room, but gathered in groups of three or four chatting in the square. Seeing Chang Lao and Wu Di get off the car, they all surrounded them, and they were so chattering that they couldn't hear them clearly. talking about something.In the short tens of meters from the square to the conference room, Wu Di did not know how many people he had greeted, so that his memory was blurred for a while. Who did I shake hands with just now?

The main hall is very large, and more than 100 people poured in, but it was just a drop in the ocean.The venue has been set up and is very friendly to the people. Except that the rostrum is a little higher and there are a row of square tables, the rest of the layout is similar to that of a tea house. There are more than 30 small round tables neatly arranged at the front of the hall.Familiar people greeted each other and sat down, watched and discussed together, and the atmosphere was unusually lively.

Sitting at Wu Di's table are Mr. Yang, Mr. Chang and Song Hongyan.Song Hongyan didn't come here with Wu Di and the others, and because he hadn't seen this little junior for a while, and this guy went out once to scare everyone, so he had a very happy chat with him, and you could hear him from time to time. Words with strong jealousy such as "monstrous", "perverted" and "shameless" popped out of his mouth, which made Chang Lao unable to listen to it any longer. He glared at him fiercely before blocking him. that mouth.

Sitting on the rostrum are ten judges, including Dean Han, who are the pillars of museums in various places and recognized experts in various major fields.Wu Di couldn't help but smile sincerely when he saw his elder brother Yang Linxue Huo Ran in the row.Yang Linxue has been paying attention to this table, and when he saw Wu Di's smile, he grinned as a return gift, which also provoked Song Hongyan's comments such as "dead face", which made Wu Di feel amused. It seems that this time he It really irritated the second senior brother!

Dean Han guest-hosted, and after a short speech, the Dou Bao Conference officially began!

The first one is the Leakage Contest. Wu Di brought two collections to participate, one is the Yuanji blue-glazed plum vase with white dragon pattern that was auctioned by Yincuilou, and the other is the large plate of Ru porcelain that was picked up by Pingzhou Ghost Market.

Those who participate in the treasure fight will put the treasures on the rostrum in order, for people to take turns to watch and evaluate.A total of ten people participated in the first leak-picking competition, and thirteen collections participated. Wu Di's Yuanji blue-glazed dragon pattern plum vase and Yuan blue and white flowers ranked first!

The two collections aroused heated discussions as soon as they appeared on the stage. Wu Di also looked at the master strangely. They didn't decide to take Yuan blue and white in the competition beforehand?Chang Lao gave him a calm look, motioning him to read on.

……

You are so pitiful and pitiful, let me recommend it over ten thousand before it goes on the shelves!
