Chapter 14 Is this a heavy weapon?

Following Xie Rongcheng's order, the preview officially began. This time, for the [-]th anniversary, Xie carefully prepared more than a thousand items and designed seven or eight categories.There are traditional items such as porcelain, ancient calligraphy and painting, and jade.There are also special sessions on ancient coins, bronzes, and famous watches, which can be described as complete.

"Let's go, let's look at the porcelain and miscellaneous items first, especially the Qing Qianlong Yellow Ground Blue and White Plum Vase with Wrapped Branches and Flowers on the cover, and Gu Jingzhou's Stone Ladle Pot on the back cover, both of which are rare and heavy, and both are worth tens of millions Auction."

Mr. Sun took two people to look at the heavy weapons first. The level of an auction house mainly depends on the grade and quantity of high-quality heavy weapons.Generally, it is not easy for a small auction house to collect more than one million items, because sellers must consider the reputation and strength of the auction house when sending auctions, otherwise they will not be able to bid at the psychological price, and the money will be wasted.

Xiang Zhongzheng and Xie's are old-fashioned auction houses, they have been cultivating in the local area for many years, and they also have certain connections in the circle.Every year, tens of millions of auction items appear, such as the Qianlong blue and white plum vase this time, and the authentic works of the Six Kings Wu Li, which are rare to see.

Many people went for the two treasures. In the middle of the exhibition hall, there were two heavy objects.Across the glass showcase, many people talked about it.

"Boy, test your eyesight on porcelain, tell me about this plum vase?"

Elder Sun looked at Wu Tianyuan, wondering how good his porcelain was?Weigh yourself today too.

"Then I'll make a fool of myself." Wu Tianyuan nodded, looked carefully for a while before saying: "The blue and white yellow ground began in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. It is as dignified and beautiful as the blue and white porcelain and the yellow robe added to the body, adding a sense of grace. In Qianlong, it is even more pampered. Many of these types of wares were fired in the Neifu."

Wu Tianyuan talked eloquently: "This blue-and-white plum vase has slightly outward lips, narrow neck and shoulders, and a lotus pattern on the neck. The branches and tendrils of the flowers are soft and elegant. The color is bright, which can represent the highest level of blue-and-white porcelain in Qianlong's dynasty. , a rare boutique."

Elder Sun nodded. Apart from other things, Wu Tianyuan's basic skills were relatively solid, and he asked, "How's the bottom?"

Wu Tianyuan smiled and said: "You are making things difficult for me, but through the exposed tires, the trimming is delicate, and the bottom lies inside to form a circle of feet. The bottom money should be the six-character standard official money made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty."

"Not bad, a little level!"

Before Elder Sun could speak, Xie Rongcheng and Xie Tian also came over. After listening to Wu Tianyuan's comments, Xie Rongcheng looked at this young man for the first time. He was calm and steady, quite like a general.

"This young man is new, Mr. Sun, won't you introduce him?"

"Wu Tianyuan, Zhongzheng's new appraiser, this is Xie Rongcheng, a senior expert, your predecessor."

Wu Tianyuan said calmly: "Thank you boss for your praise, and I will learn a lot from the old senior in the future."

"Well, it's better for young people to be humble!"

Xie Rongcheng nodded in satisfaction, walked to the other side of the showcase, looked at the purple clay pot proudly and said, "This is also my favorite thing, what do you think?"

"Let me take a look." A person who should also be a senior expert stepped forward, studied it carefully for a while, and affirmed: "It is definitely a masterpiece of Master Gu Jingzhou. It is Gu Jingzhou's masterpiece in his later years."

"That's right, this stone ladle pot is included in the Ju Ren Tang Zisha Collection compiled by Chen Qifeng, page 78. There is also an authoritative catalog of Chinese Zisha boutique appreciation, and it is a treasure that has been passed down in an orderly manner."

Everyone around was unanimously optimistic about Gu Jingzhou's pot, and with various authoritative descriptions, no one doubted its authenticity.Moreover, only after Xie's multiple appraisals did he dare to take it out for the cover and exhibit it on a large scale, which is undoubtedly authentic in people's eyes.

With a solemn expression, Wu Tianyuan walked carefully to the display cabinet, listened attentively for a while, returned to Elder Sun, and said in a low voice, "Look at it?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. You can't see the details clearly through the showcase, but Xie Rongcheng, an old fox, must have the confidence to make such a publicity."

Old Sun's first feeling is also right, both the charm and the feeling are in line with Gu Jingzhou's style.His pot names are very big, each one is at the million level, so many people imitate it.But he has never seen a master who can truly imitate the divine charm.

Wu Tianyuan walked to the showcase and suddenly asked, "Boss Xie, are you sure this is the work of Master Gu Jingzhou?"

"what?"

As soon as this sentence came out, one stone stirred up a thousand waves, everyone was stunned, even Sun Lao frowned, wondering why Wu Tianyuan, who was originally very stable, would be so rude this time.

"Boy, what are you talking about?" Xie Tian had long seen that the boy next to Sun Yuyao was upset, and asked forcefully, "You mean we can't make eye contact?"

"Young man, don't talk nonsense!" The expert just now was also dissatisfied: "We are all experts, we all take the truth, what do you mean by saying this like a brat?"

"That is, you have to give an explanation today, or you will apologize in public."

Sun Yuyao was a little nervous, wondering why Wu Tianyuan was so impulsive?There are all prominent figures present, if it is not handled well, even Zhongzheng will be implicated!
"Please don't be impatient, everyone, how about listening to me, kid?"

Wu Tianyuan turned around, overwhelmed everyone with a clear voice, and said without haste: "I dare to say this, and I must bear the responsibility! All of you present are experienced experts. I won't say polite words, I will just say one thing, Has anyone seen Gu Jingzhou's disciple imitating his master?"

"What? Disciple imitation?"

In a word, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Elder Sun suddenly realized something, hurried to the front, put on his glasses and began to study carefully.

"Boy, don't talk nonsense!" Xie Rongcheng's face changed, and his intuition told him for many years that there was something tricky, so he hurriedly stopped Wu Tianyuan from continuing.

"Gu Jingzhou is a master, many people like to imitate, even his own disciples!"

Wu Tianyuan's voice became louder and louder. Since Xie Tian and Xie Tian are not in the same sky, they hit the snake seven inches, this time let them look good!

"Nonsense, so what if the disciple has imitated the master? The question is how do you prove that this is the disciple's imitation?"

"That's right, you said it was imitated by that disciple?"

Several people questioned Wu Tianyuan loudly. If they were not friends of the Xie family, or they had affirmed the pot just now, they came forward to question.

"I'm not talented. Recently, I read a lot of memoirs and interviews about Gu Jingzhou in his later years. He talked about a lot of identification methods."

Wu Tianyuan walked to the painting, pointed to a place, and said loudly: "Everyone, please look, what is here?"

"what?"

Elder Sun was the closest, following Wu Tianyuan's finger, it turned out to be the root of the spout of the purple sand pot, that is, the bottom of the stream.

"What's the problem?" Several people looked at it for a long time and asked in confusion.

Wu Tianyuan smiled and said: "The problem is not the surface, but the inside. I bet there is a word Zhou in this position inside the pot!"

"Zhou?" Elder Sun's expression changed, and he said loudly, "Could it be that the disciple you're talking about is Master Zhou Zhenfang?"

"what?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

"That's right, it's Gu Jingzhou's most proud closed disciple——Zhou Zhenfang, who is also a master of Zishahu!"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. This joke was a little big. Everyone believed that Gu Jingzhou was genuine, but suddenly someone came out and said that it was a copy by disciple Zhou Zhenfang?
"What are you kid?" Xie Tian stepped forward angrily, pointed at Wu Tianyuan and shouted: "You say imitation is imitation?"

Wu Tianyuan smiled lightly, and said relaxedly: "Of course it's not what I say! But since you Xie believe that the pot is made by Master Gu Jingzhou himself, why don't you dare to verify it in public? It's just opening the display cabinet and taking a photo with a flashlight to see See if there is any word in the position I said!"

"This?"

Everyone fell silent, although they didn't know the origin of this eloquent young man in front of him?But since he dared to say this in public, he must have his reasons.Everyone in the venue looked at Xie Rongcheng, waiting for his answer!
