Tsai.
Xiao Bai was stunned when he saw the tiny words engraved on the inside of the Xuande stove's ears.
If this was an authentic official product made by the palace, there would be absolutely no chance that there would be such a word hidden on the inside of the furnace ear.
The reason why this word exists is most likely because it is a secret mark left by an extremely confident forger.
After discovering this hidden secret, Xiao Bai did not say anything, but silently put the Xuande stove back on the stand, admired it for a while, then shook his head with a wry smile and prepared to leave.
It's really perfect. If it weren't for this hidden mark, this Ming Xuande furnace would be an authentic official product no matter where you look at it.
No, it might be a little too perfect. It was so perfect that after looking at so many pieces of metalware, I felt at a glance that this Ming Xuande furnace was a little out of place with other metalware.
"Hey, Xiao Xiao, I was looking for you, but I didn't expect you to come here and hang out with my granddaughter."
Xiao Bai was stunned for a moment when he heard Sun Limin's voice coming from not far away.
At this moment, Sun Weiwei, who was squatting on the ground and reading a children's book boredly, stared at Xiao Bai in disbelief.
"Are you the one named Xiao?!"
"You're the reason why I can't hang out with my friends??!"
Hearing this, Xiao Bai smiled awkwardly.
He just wanted to say that he was innocent and didn't know anything.
After a while, Qin Hai also came over from not far away: "Let's go, apprentice, it's getting late, let's go eat."
Seeing his master coming over, Xiao Bai nodded with a smile, and then casually took the children's book from Sun Weiwei's hand.
In the evening, we had three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes.
Everyone put down their chopsticks and chatted among themselves. Seeing that no one noticed him, Xiao Bai gently shouted to Qin Hai beside him.
"Teacher, I have a question for you."
"Um?"
Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Qin Hai was stunned for a moment: "Tell me? Did you encounter something you don't understand?"
"Master, do you think the objects in the exhibition hall this afternoon should be all real?"
"Huh? After hearing this, Qin Hai nodded. Yes, since they are displayed, they are all genuine."
After hearing his master's words, Xiao Bai gritted his teeth, and then said seriously: "Master, when I was looking at these objects in the afternoon, I touched a word inside the ear of a Ming Xuande furnace."
"Um?"
Hearing Xiao Bai's words, Qin Hai's body instantly became straighter.
"Speak carefully."
Seeing Qin Hai's serious expression, Xiao Bai then spoke in detail about his feelings about inspecting the Ming Xuande furnace today.
A long while.
"Cai..."
"Cai! Hey, Lao Xu may have had a big eye this time."
"The Xuande Furnace of the Ming Dynasty, Cai, should be the "work" of the famous forger Cai in Nasu Mansion. I didn't expect that after so many years, it would appear again."
Qin Hai's sigh attracted the attention of others. After a while, when Qin Hai told Xiao Bai's discovery, everyone at the dinner table fell into silence.
A long while.
Sun Limin sighed and said first: "Hey, it's troublesome. I didn't expect that the counterfeiter named Cai would appear again after being silent for so many years."
"Although I haven't looked carefully at the Ming Xuande furnace, but since it can be hidden from Xu Weiming's eyes, it shows that his counterfeiting skills have improved again."
Hearing this, several people sighed again.
Immediately afterwards, someone else echoed: "Hey, yes, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it. I hope there won't be too many such things entering the market this time, otherwise it will undoubtedly be another blow to the already extremely fragile antique market. A major blow.”
"Old Qin, call Lao Xu. The meal is finished anyway. Let's go over and have a look."
Upon hearing this, Qin Hai did not hesitate, took out his mobile phone and dialed the number of the organizer of this exchange meeting, Xu Weiming.
Half an hour later, Xiao Bai followed his master back to the venue.
Xu Weiming, who had been waiting in the lobby for a long time, didn't know what happened at this moment, which made Qin Hai call anxiously and ask him to wait here.
"Old Qin, what's going on? Did you lose something at my venue?"
Looking at Xu Weiming who was still smiling, Qin Hai smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Old Xu, I'm afraid you are going to lose something."
"What about the items on display this afternoon? Find the Ming Xuande stove again."
Hearing Qin Hai's words, Xu Weiming's heart skipped a beat.
Several people came over in such a hurry, and they wanted to see a collection that was displayed in the afternoon when they were called, which undoubtedly meant that there was something wrong with that item.
"Okay, Lao Qin, Lao Sun, you guys wait inside while I go get it."
A long while.
In a small conference room, Qin Hai and Xu Weiming gathered around this Ming Xuande furnace.
"Perfect, really perfect, eh."
"Yeah, if there's anything wrong with it, it's that it's too perfect."
Listening to the sighs of several people, Xu Weiming's brows were already furrowed.
"Old Qin, stop suing. Tell me quickly. Is there something wrong with this thing? It shouldn't be. I collected it last year and checked it carefully. It's fine."
After hearing Xu Weiming's words, Qin Hai was still unhurried. He gently picked up the Ming Xuande stove, and then touched the spot that Xiao Bai mentioned during dinner with his fingertips, and then there was another wry smile on his face.
Seeing this scene, how could Xu Weiming still not understand what was going on.
He took the Ming Xuande stove, turned on the flashlight and shined it on the hidden location that Qin Hai had just touched.
"Cai."
"Damn, that's a real eye-opener!"
After seeing the small words engraved clearly, Xu Weiming cursed angrily, then gasped and slapped the flashlight on the table.
"I didn't expect that when I was hunting geese all day long, I would be pecked in the eye by a goose. Alas..."
Seeing Xu Weiming let out a long sigh and slumped down on his seat, several other old men who had not looked carefully also took a look at it.
After a moment, helpless smiles appeared on their faces.
It’s so real. This object is so real.
If it weren't for the word Cai, and if a counterfeiter named Cai hadn't been revealed in the industry a few years ago, no one would have thought that this thing was fake.
Seeing Xu Weiming sitting on the chair and breathing heavily, Qin Hai said helplessly: "Hey, Lao Xu, don't be angry. It's not just that you didn't see this thing. If you hadn't gone out to find the flaw with Mingzhi, I would have Can’t find it.”
"It's so strange. The color, the sound of knocking, the shape, and the materials of this Xuande stove from the Ming Dynasty are exactly the same as those I saw on the museum."
"Unexpectedly, the man named Cai has not appeared for so many years, but when he appeared he brought such an amazing work."
