Chapter 86 Fraud ([-])

"Fake?"

The fatter one of the two stall operators immediately drooped his face, the flesh on his cheeks trembled, and said very unhappy: "Little girl, don't talk nonsense!"

Gan Tiantian didn't want to cause trouble either, so he didn't push back, but just pulled Aunt Chen and said, "Auntie, why don't we go to the next one?"

Aunt Chen frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything, she put down the Boshan furnace and wanted to leave.

She didn't believe Gan Tiantian's blurted out "fake", but seeing that the stall owner was a little angry now, her desire to buy it faded.

Aunt Chen is a perfumer, but she is also an out-and-out woman. Women tend to pay more attention to their mood when shopping.Although she liked that Boshan stove, seeing the two people blowing their beards and staring at each other, she immediately lost the desire to continue watching.

"Hey, you..."

The fat master wanted to say something, but his companion frowned and grabbed his sleeves. He could only grit his teeth and watch Aunt Chen and Gan Tiantian walk away.

"How do you know that the Bo Shan Furnace is fake?"

After walking away, Aunt Chen asked softly.

Gan Tiantian knew that he was about to make a mistake, so he lowered his head nervously.

Seeing that Aunt Chen asked, she smiled awkwardly, sorted out what Ji Bingyun told her just now, and said cautiously: "I don't know if it's pure copper, but they all say that the stove is an antique, but... The patina on it is kind of weird."

Ok?
Aunt Chen raised her eyebrows and said, "Copper rust? Isn't the stove covered with copper rust?"

"Uh, it's because it's too full."

After all, it was not his own knowledge, Gan Tiantian had to digest what Ji Bingyun said, and converted it into his own words: "Actually, Auntie, you also know that it is very easy to imitate copper rust. Just soak the newly made copper incense burner in medicinal soup and wipe it on." Put a lot of paint on it and bury it in the ground, and it won't take long to make a stove covered with patina."

"I heard... In order to sell the appearance, many merchants will clean the copper rust mud on the antiques, at least to reveal the original style, right? The Boshan furnace is too rusted..."

"Oh. That's all?"

Aunt Chen is a perfumer, but not a famous one.Living in Deling County, there are very few high-quality incense burners that can be touched, so it is normal for Ji Bingyun to be far less knowledgeable than Ji Bingyun.

She was dubious about Gan Tiantian's words, she just frowned and thought about it frequently, without nodding or shaking her head.

Ji Bingyun sneered and said: "Who told you to talk fast. Let her buy fakes, it's not you."

"My aunt is very kind to me..." Gan Tiantian retorted silently, but he also knew that he should not talk too much: "Next time I won't be like this."

Not long after, Aunt Chen fell in love with a Boshan furnace with a more unique shape at another stall.This family is honest, and frankly admits that this Boshan furnace is only a work of the previous dynasty, and it is not too old.

After asking Ji Bingyun if it was genuine, Gan Tiantian didn't care about Aunt Chen negotiating the price with the stall owner.The situation of asking a lot of money and paying back the money on the spot is similar in any time and space.She turned her head and looked around boredly, when she was suddenly attracted by a young girl with a beautiful and refined appearance.

The little girl looked a little older than himself, with a slender figure, and a pair of bright eyes on her snow-white face.Although I can't say how beautiful it is, the appearance, temperament, and dress of the whole person look very comfortable and pleasing to the eye.

Judging from her attire, she should also be a boudoir daughter from a wealthy family, but for some reason, she didn't have a servant by her side.

"The law and order in Yujiang Mansion is so good?" Gan Tiantian murmured in his heart, "Look at the pearl pendants on her ears, they should be very valuable. How can the family rest assured that she will come out to hang out by herself?"

Because there weren't many people visiting Xiangshi at the moment, and it was rare to see a person of the same age who was good-looking, Gan Tiantian took a few extra glances at her.

I saw the little girl holding a small and exquisite jade stove in her hand, and was hesitatingly listening to the stall owner's introduction.

"Miss has good eyesight!" The thin stall owner is also a man with a brilliant tongue and poisonous eyes, and it can be seen that the person who came to the door today is a young lady who is not familiar with the world.

This kind of little girl is a big fat sheep, you can't let it go!

"Miss, the jade stove in your hand is the masterpiece of the former jade carving master Qiu Ran. You can't find this jade material, this carver, this quality in the market!"

"Is it Qiu Ran's work?"

The little girl blinked her eyes, and seemed to be a little interested: "But... I didn't hear that Qiu Ran's works are still circulated outside. There are only a dozen or so pieces in total, and they are all collected by major families..."

Gan Tiantian shook his head secretly.

The little girl is still tender, you can think so in your heart, there is no need to say it.As soon as you say it, the other party will know that you are tempted, and they will start to fool you about something—yes, Gan Tiantian knows that it is a fake again, because Ji Bingyun, who is cheap, has been complaining for a long time with a sneer.

"That old man Qiu Ran doesn't know how to make a small incense burner the size of a palm. He always likes to make big ones! He carved the emerald and uncut jade lotus-patterned burner in the main hall of Ji's house, which is as big as a water tank. .”

"Wow, it's not easy to find such a complete piece of jade." Gan Tiantian was speechless.

Ji Bingyun snorted and said, "That's why he's famous."

It seems that Ji Bingyun doesn't agree with Master Qiu's carving skills and taste, this guy with eyes above the top!Gan Tiantian shrugged and continued to listen to the conversation over there.

To be honest, she was a little worried that the little girl would be cheated, although it was really none of her business.

"Miss, Master Qiu's works are handed down from the big jade furnaces. To tell you the truth, this small jade furnace must have been handed down when the master practiced carving, right? If it is really the work of the master, where is it?" It was my turn to collect it in a small store, and it was taken away by those aristocratic families long ago."

"This thing, to be honest, is a practice work of the master when he was young, and his kung fu is not good enough. But... you like it, right? And under the base, there is the seal of the master... This must be fake!"

If it is someone else, it may not be deceived.The little girl happened to have a jade stove of Chou Ran in her house. She had seen the seal, and it was really the same as this one...

So the little girl was in trouble.

If this is a real work by a master, it would be a pity if I missed it.However, she didn't have enough eyesight to judge.

Today, she just sneaked out to watch the excitement by accident. She never thought that she really wanted to buy something.The master chefs at home went to discuss business again, and no one gave me an eye. Alas, I am so troubled!

"Well, how much is it?"

"Not expensive, not expensive, 300 taels!"

what?
Gan Tiantian listened from a distance, his mouth was almost too long to close.

How dare you want it, the stall owner! Sell ​​a fake jade furnace for 300 taels!

According to Ji Bingyun, this thing is made by a craftsman in some small workshop. It looks beautiful, but it is far from the master's work. Selling 30 taels is a sky-high price.

Could it be that he really wanted to watch this little girl get cheated of money?
