Chapter 437 Follow Brother Li to pick up the leak

"It seems to be. The candlesticks in the movie are very beautiful, and this one is also good!"

Wang Jiajia moved closer, and carefully looked at the cloisonne candlestick in front of them.This candlestick is more than 20 centimeters high, with a round base underneath, which gradually becomes thinner from bottom to bottom, and becomes a hollow cylinder thicker than a thumb in the middle.

At the bottom of the cylinder, there was something like a large plate across it, and above it was a small cylinder less than ten centimeters high, with a small tray on it.

"Li Yang, according to what you say, this pair of candlesticks are pretty good treasures, right?" Wang Quanming laughed out loud, with a hint of joy on his face, but a dark light flashed in his eyes.

"Uncle Wang, the shape of your pair of cloisonne lamps and candles belongs to the five offerings of the Qing Dynasty. There are five pieces in the whole set. In addition to this pair of candlesticks, there should also be two larger vases and a stove in the middle. That's the whole thing!"

Having said this, Li Yang showed a little hesitation on his face.

Wang Quanming said that his friend brought them from abroad. Wang Quanming was able to show this pair to Li Yang, which proved that he had a good relationship with this friend. to the relationship between them.

But Li Yang is definitely not willing to lie. The reason why he didn't point it out all the time was because he was thinking about how to tell the truth, but now Wang Quanming's question made him have to answer this question.

Sighing lightly, Li Yang had already made a decision in his heart: "Uncle Wang, let's not talk about the value first, do you still remember the poem Jia Jia just said? The wax torch turns into ashes and tears dry before it dries. A wax torch is a candle." , I also learned this poem when I was in school, and I had a big doubt at that time, how could the candle turn into ashes when it burnt out and was gone?"

"That's right, the candle is gone after it burns out, how could it turn into ashes?"

Wang Jiajia was also stunned for a moment, her eyes showed thinking, she had never considered this question, she just felt that this was a very touching ancient love poem.

Liang Fengying also glanced at Li Yang in surprise. He is a professor of mathematics, and he really doesn't know much about history, even less about candles.

On the contrary, Wang Quanming looked at Li Yang with great interest, and asked softly: "Li Yang, just say what you want to say, don't make us worry!"

"Okay, Uncle Wang, in ancient times, the reason why candles turned to ashes was because of the wick. The wick of ancient candles was not a cotton thread as it is now, which disappeared after burning, but a reed. , and some were wrapped with cloth, and it was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that this kind of cotton-wicked candle was introduced from abroad to China and began to be widely used!"

Li Yang pointed to the cloisonne candlestick again: "In ancient times, there should have been thinner iron rods on the candlesticks, which were used to insert candles. The center of the reed is hollow, and the candles can be inserted just right. Burn slowly, and when the burn is over, the ashes of the reeds and the ashes of the white cloth will remain in this little tray!"

Li Yang tapped the top tray of the candlestick lightly with his hand, Wang Jiajia and Liang Fengying couldn't help but look inside, then nodded.

"So that's the case, Li Yang, you really know a lot!"

Wang Jiajia's eyes became much brighter again. To learn antiques, you need to learn a lot of common sense. These are the basic things. Li Yang also learned them from books. He didn't expect to be able to use them here this time.

"Let's not talk about this first, Li Yang, you haven't told me how much this thing is worth?" Wang Quanming waved his hand, and the interest on his face became more intense.

Li Yang shook his head lightly, and then said: "Uncle Wang, look inside carefully, there is no trace on the inside of your tray, it is very smooth, even the patterns are connected together, don't you think there is something wrong?" ?”

After saying this sentence, Li Yang still felt a little nervous, he was almost about to clarify this sentence.

"wrong?"

Wang Quanming frowned, Liang Fengying and Wang Jiajia approached together, and Wang Jiajia hurriedly gave Li Yang a questioning look.

"Li Yang, isn't this very good?" Liang Fengying asked suspiciously.

"From today's point of view, this is indeed very good, but it was wrong in ancient times. Aunt Liang, our ancient candlesticks are all hollow reeds, and a straight thin stick is needed to support the candle. If the thin stick is dropped, there should be traces left, but this pair of candlesticks did not, this should never happen, it can be said that we did not have such a thing in ancient times!"

Li Yang sighed slightly, Liang Fengying looked at him again in surprise, and then turned to look at Wang Quanming, Li Yang's explanation showed that she also saw the problem.

"I understand what you mean, Li Yang, you want to say this is a fake, right?"

Wang Quanming smiled, the expression on his face remained the same, and approval flashed in his eyes.

This pair of candlesticks is indeed not real. He borrowed it from a friend and specially tested Li Yang's props. This test is very simple. Li Yang is honest and dishonest.

Wang Quanming is very concerned about a person's honesty or not, which represents loyalty. If Li Yang deceives him because of his scruples, then his good impression of Li Yang will be gone.

Li Yang can deceive him, and he can also deceive Wang Jiajia in the future, they are not outsiders, they are their own people, there is no need to tell this lie in front of their own people, even if it is because he is an elder.

But looking at it now, Wang Quanming is very satisfied with Li Yang's performance. Needless to say, Li Yang's ability in antiques, what he said just now is enough to prove it, and Li Yang's honesty has also passed the test.

What pleased Wang Quanming the most was that Li Yang was a flexible person who used short stories to slowly point out the problem, and did not say it at the beginning, which made Wang Quanming even more satisfied.

Li Yang didn't know about these things. Now that he had already said it, Li Yang simply pointed out all the problems.

There are several other problems, all of which are analyzed from a professional point of view. What Li Yang said is very simple, but everyone understands it. At the same time, Liang Fengying and Wang Jiajia also understand that this thing is definitely not true, Li Yang said These problems are very obvious.

"Uncle Wang, this set of yours should have been made in a foreign country. They don't have a special understanding of Chinese culture, so there is such a big loophole. From the perspective of artwork, this is still a very beautiful pair The cloisonné candle holder, on which modern candles can be lit, may be deceived as a gift to your precious friends!"

"That's right, Dad, I'm sure he was deceived first, and then I gave it to you when it was real!"

Wang Jiajia also said that she also didn't know that the pair of candlesticks were the props for the test, and she really thought it was a gift from her father's friend.

Wang Quanming nodded along, smiled and asked Xiao Liu to come over and take the things away, without mentioning this matter.

Seeing that Wang Quanming didn't really care about it, Li Yang also secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know that this was Wang Quanming's test for him, and only because of that persistence, he spoke out all the problems.

After such a period of time, it was almost eleven o'clock. Li Yang originally wanted to leave, but Wang Quanming took the initiative to keep him for lunch, and told Li Yang that he had already arranged for Liu Gang and the driver outside.

Seeing that Wang Quanming's attitude was so firm, Li Yang couldn't refuse. Wang Jiajia looked surprised at first, but finally showed joy on his face.

She understood that her father had completely accepted Li Yang.

It is impossible for a person not accepted by his father to have dinner with him. Since Wang Quanming kept Li Yang, it proved that he really treated Li Yang as his own. This also completely relieved Wang Jiajia's heart. down.

There were not many dishes for lunch, but they were very rich and tasted very good. Under Liang Fengying's persuasion, Li Yang really ate a lot.

Now, Liang Fengying is also very satisfied with this son-in-law.In Liang Fengying's heart, she actually didn't want her daughter to find someone from the officialdom. People from the officialdom may seem beautiful, but inside they have a lot of helplessness. The bigger the family, the more this is the case.

Now, her daughter has found someone she really likes and loves her very much, which makes Liang Fengying very satisfied.Moreover, this son-in-law has also been approved by the old man in the family, which is even more rare. Thinking about it, Liang Fengying is happy for her daughter.

After lunch, Li Yang left. When he left, Wang Quanming personally sent Li Yang to the door. Liang Fengying also told Li Yang that he would come over often when he was free.

Wang Jiajia didn't take Li Yang to the gate because it was too far away. After sending Li Yang to the car, she said in a low voice and waited for her to call before returning home. Wang Jiajia's parents must have something to explain to her.

In the car, the driver and Liu Gang both looked at Li Yang with a smile on their faces. The smile on Li Yang's face hadn't broken since he left the house, and he still kept this smirk after getting in the car.

"Brother Li, where are we going now?"

Liu Gang turned around and asked with a smile, but it turned out that there was no need to ask alone. Just by looking at Li Yang's appearance, one could tell that he must be going very well today.

"Let's go to Liulichang first, I don't want to go home yet!"

Li Yang thought for a while, and finally said something happily. After speaking, he took out his mobile phone and called the old man. First, to thank him, and second, to report today's good news.

Liu Gang turned around and didn't speak. After Li Yang hung up the phone, he still seemed very excited. He simply called Bai Ming again and asked him to go to Liulichang to see if he could find any good things. It was too much to go alone. bored.

…………

Liulichang is the most famous antique market in BJ. The biggest feature here is that there are many antique shops, and there are really some good boutiques among them.

There are many antique shops in Liulichang, and there are also many masters. Many of the shops here are passed down from ancestors, and their eyesight is not much worse.Therefore, it is far more difficult to pick up leaks here than in other places. Many experts come to this place unless they have something fancy to buy. Most of the people who come here are rich bosses.

At the entrance of Liulichang Street, Li Yang got out of the car first, and Bai Ming hadn't arrived yet, Li Yang looked at this century-old antique street with great interest.

It is difficult for other experts to find leaks here, but it is not difficult for Li Yang. The more good things there are, the greater the possibility of big leaks.

The possibility of picking up leaks in Panjiayuan is much greater than here, but it is much more difficult to pick out big leaks than here. Besides, there are too many things there, and it is really not easy to pick out a leak.

Li Yang is in a very good mood today, even looking at these antique shops with great interest, it seems that everything has become the most beautiful thing in his eyes.

"Brother Li!"

An urgent cry came from behind Li Yang, and Li Yang hurriedly turned his head. Bai Ming had already arrived, and Mr. Mao and Teacher Cai were with him. The three came together.

When Li Yang called Bai Ming, he didn't say they were together.

"We just finished the show and were taking a break. When you called, I thought it was all right, so let's come and see what you missed?"

Bai Ming chuckled, but Li Yang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, and said, "I just want to see if there are any good things, I'm not here to pick up the leaks!"

After all, there are more real things in Liulichang than in other places. Li Yang really didn't have any intention of picking up leaks this time.

"It's okay, we'll talk about it when we find it!"

Mr. Mao also said with a smile, even Teacher Cai had the same expression, and Li Yang became even more helpless. These people seemed to believe that he would definitely find something if he went to the antique market.

"Let's go in and have a look first. I don't have any confidence in finding the leak!"

Li Yang shrugged his shoulders, and Bai Ming immediately followed with a smile.This is the first time for Mr. Cai to visit the antique market with Li Yang, and his eyes are still flickering with curiosity. Li Yang's reputation of picking up leaks has spread all over the circle, and it is even a myth.

From what Bai Ming said to him before he came, it can be seen that Bai Ming only said a simple sentence: go, follow Brother Li to pick up the leaks.

Li Yang entered a shop very casually. This shop specializes in all kinds of jade wares, among which ancient jade is the main one. Li Yang feels familiar with this shop.

The shop owner was an old man in his sixties, and beside him was a young man in his fifteenth or sixteen years old. The shop owner walked out as soon as he saw them.

After approaching, the store owner's face was obviously surprised. He looked at Mr. Mao, then at Teacher Cai and Bai Ming, and finally his eyes fell on Li Yang.

"You are Jade Sage Li Yang, Mr. Li?"

The shop owner asked carefully, and he was very familiar with the shop owner, Li Yang, as if he had been here before.

Thinking of this, Li Yang suddenly showed a look of astonishment, he finally remembered that he had really been here before, and it was the first time he came to Liulichang.The name of this shop is Gu Yuzhai. Last time he met Zheng Kaida here, and then picked up the lost Moon Shadow Lantern in Rongbaozhai.

"Boss Ma, hello, it's me!"

Li Yang nodded with a smile. After thinking about it, everything here quickly flashed through his mind. The owner of this shop is named Ma, and he has a pretty good relationship with Zheng Kaida.
