Chapter 339 This deal is too perfect

What's more, the foundation of this blank imperial decree is quite complete, and its appearance is excellent.

Three years ago, when Yu Yao first entered the industry, Tianhe Qiu Auction once sold a set of four blank imperial edicts from the Qing Dynasty, which sold for more than 5 yuan.The appearance is also good, but these four imperial edicts only have shaft handles and no shaft heads.

And at that time Yu Yao didn't have spare money to collect.

The man thought for a while, put the imperial decree back into the cylinder calligraphy and painting box, but did not take back the bag, "Boss, shall we talk about it in detail?"

"Sit down and talk!" Yu Yao raised his hand to signal, then he walked to the Eight Immortals table and sat down, and poured out another cup of tea.

The man didn't move the cylinder calligraphy and painting box, and sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals.

Yu Yao lit a cigarette, "The price I offered is indeed without cheating."

"Boss, you have excellent eyesight, I am really educated." The man said with a smile.

"Don't flatter me, just say what you have to say."

"This...can you tell me what's wrong with this decree?"

"Okay. But it's against the rules. So I have to ask, where did this thing come from?"

The man pondered for a moment, "This is indeed an old item at home, it was bought by my father during his lifetime."

"Your father is a collector?"

"Not really. However, he used to be a professor in the history department of Dongjiang University, and he still has research on cultural relics. This imperial decree should have been bought by him in an antique market in other places when I was on a business trip when I was young. So, I really don't believe it. ... Yes, there will be problems."

Yu Yao nodded, basically believing his words.

Academia and antique business are two ways.When it comes to various historical features, characters, ornamentation, textual research, etc., people in the academic circle naturally have an advantage; but when it comes to identification, in some details, people in the academic circle may not be as good as an antique peddler.

In the final analysis, it is the lack of practice, specifically, the lack of practice on fakes and fraudulent methods; seeing more materials and authentic products may not necessarily be defensive against fakes.

Take this edict as an example, from the perspective of academics, it is difficult to see the problem, because the aspects that academics are proficient in are all in place.

"Why don't you tell me first, what did your father say at that time?" Yu Yao looked at him, "I'm not superfluous."

"Understood, what you mean is that you can talk about it after I've said it, so I can be more convinced." The man had already lost his mind and asked for advice, and then he said it in recollection.

"That is to say, have you ever doubted the oldness of pen, ink and Zhuyin?"

"It really hasn't been said."

"If it is genuine, the color of the pen, ink and red seal is natural aging; if it is to use the blank imperial decree to add the pen, ink and red seal, it needs to be old, but it cannot be made together, because the brocade itself is old. So it is often used in ink and ink pad. Add something to it, and then partially make it old, so as to achieve the old effect on the color."

This man is not a professional, and Yu Yao can see clearly that this is his father's relic, if he is not convinced that it is indeed a fake, he will definitely not sell it at a low price.

"The ink is old ink from the Qing Dynasty, with gamboge added, and the old-fashioned technique is also very delicate and very lifelike; the red seal is also well oxidized. So it's not surprising that your father can't recognize it."

Hearing this, the man couldn't bear it anymore, "Then how did you find out?"

"At first, I just felt wrong. If I want to confirm it further, I have to use sharp tools to pick ink marks or blots. But you will definitely not agree. However, I checked it word by word, and it was still on one handwriting. I found a little broken thread, which should have been caused by some unknown reason recently."

As soon as the man heard this, he got up immediately, went to the counter and took out the imperial decree from the cylinder.

Yu Yao told him which part of the handwriting was, "Where the thread is torn, looking sideways, you can see a little background color, compared with the old ink color on the surface, it has a fresh and bright feeling, and it is full of anger. There is a magnifying glass on it, take a closer look and try."

The man looked at it with a magnifying glass for a long time, but he still looked clueless.

It's not his fault, he told you what's wrong, but you still can't see clearly because your eyesight is not good enough.

Yu Yao added some pointers, "Don't think about the anger I said, don't talk about you, veterans may not be able to feel it. At the same time, you should not only compare the ink color, but also look at it in combination with the brocade! The bright flashlight over there , it's best to use it!"

In this world, there are no bad students, only bad teachers.Under Yu Yao's guidance, the man tilted his head with a magnifying glass in one hand and a bright flashlight in the other, and looked at it repeatedly for a long time, and finally shouted: "Yes, yes! It's a bit like the first and second layers under the copy paper. difference!"

This metaphor is very inappropriate, but it is also difficult for him.

After tossing, the man sat down again, convinced, "Boss, thank you! Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, just don't tell me that you don't want to sell it right now!" Yu Yao said a little bluntly, a little tired.

"Well, after my father passed away, I have actually sold some things, mainly in Jibaoxuan. To tell you the truth, it was my mother's idea, saying that I can't drink water when I'm thirsty, and I can't eat food when I'm hungry. Eat, except for my father, no one treats it as a treasure, and if you keep it, you just put it there, it’s better to sell it for money.”

Hearing this, Yu Yao felt a little uncomfortable, but this is a family matter, so it's not easy to comment.

The man went on to say, "The last two pieces left, my mother also hesitated. The Shuanghuan jade piece was something my father played with every day during his lifetime; this imperial decree was also something he took out to appreciate from time to time. So for the past year, it has been Just put it like this. However, when my sister’s child came home a few days ago, he accidentally dug out these two things. He wanted to use the imperial decree as a dragon boat and almost threw it into the bathtub; Fortunately, my mother snatched it in time."

Yu Yaoxin said, children are ignorant, and you adults didn't put them away either.

"The broken thread you mentioned may have been made by my little nephew." The man smiled wryly, "My mother said that this little ancestor missed these two things, but it's troublesome, so let's sell them too. I I thought so too, but the last two pieces are gone, and I really don’t want to sell them at a low price.”

He obviously didn't finish talking, so Yu Yao didn't interrupt.

"I walked away from you and went to the Qixingqiao Antique Market, but the situation was much worse than I imagined. This was also a kind of stimulation, which caused me to think about it along the way, and finally decided not to sell all of them, but to keep one Originally, when I came back here, I wanted to sell you eight thousand pieces of jade, left by the imperial decree!"

As the man spoke, he became a little excited, "But I never expected that this would be the case when you pointed out the imperial decree! You are younger than me, but I am completely convinced by what you say and what you do! So I If you change your mind, the imperial decree will sell it to you according to your will; I will keep the jade piece."

When Yu Yao heard it, each got something and complemented each other, this business is so perfect!

At this time, the man went on to say: "However, I still have something..."
