After hearing Jiang Qi's words, the senior manager was stunned for a moment.
While he motioned for the craftsman to measure the size of the pen washer, he sat down and pointed at the white jade pen holder on the table.
"Mr. Jiang?"
"Please."
Jiang Qi knew that he wanted to take advantage of him, so he waved his hand to the senior manager to let him go.
The senior manager held it up with both hands, looked at it, and said, "I'm not sure. This is indeed ancient jade, but I don't rule out the possibility of forgery. As you know, there are many ways to imitate the ancient jade and add age to it."
When people in antique shops say they can’t be sure, they are basically looking at the surface. In my opinion, this is false.
If I really couldn't tell, I wouldn't have said that.
Jiang Qi nodded and asked, "You seem to know Mr. Wang?"
The senior manager hesitated for a moment and then said, "Is that car outside yours? Many people saw it along the way."
There seemed to be no answer, but Jiang Qi understood what Director Gao meant.
He revealed that he was rich, and then he was targeted by others, who used this fake "antique" to trick him.
But this kind of thing makes no sense in the antique shop. I was slapped for not being good at learning, and I had to swallow the loss.
Even if you ignore the rules and call the police, if someone bites you to death, you won't know it's a lie, and there's no good way to cure him.
In that case, the reputation of the person who called the police will be bad in the industry, and no one wants to play with someone who can't afford it.
"The reason why you say this thing is fake is because of these four words, right?"
Jiang Qi picked up the white jade penholder with a smile, pointed at the four words "Debi Zhuanxu" on it, and signaled to the senior supervisor.
"You know?"
The senior manager was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Jiang Qi to have noticed this a long time ago.
Jiang Qi played with the white jade penholder and said with a smile: "Su Shi and Su Che were in the era when Song Shenzong was in power. This emperor was called Zhao Xu."
"If this is really a birthday gift from Su Che to his brother, how could the majestic prime minister not think of avoiding the emperor's name?"
"If you engrave "Debi Zhuanxu" on it, isn't this to harm your own brother?"
The taboo has been around for a long time. For example, Chang'e in the storybook legend was originally called Heng'e, but she changed her name to avoid tabooing against the Han Emperor Liu Heng.
Such examples abound throughout history.
All in all, the emperor's name, especially the name of the current emperor, cannot be used casually.
It is even more impossible for Su Che to engrave the name of his immediate boss on the gift. If he really did this, it would not only harm Su Shi, but also give political opponents an excuse to attack him.
Therefore, this is the biggest flaw in Old Man Wang's claim that this writing brush was "a gift from Su Che to his brother Su Shi".
"Then how do you pay it back?"
The senior manager said doubtfully: "If there is no historical added value, just looking at the material, it is not worth 800,000 yuan."
"Looks like it."
Jiang Qi didn't explain too much.
He put away the white jade pen holder and stopped talking about this topic.
The senior manager did not continue to ask. He was rich and willful.
What can you do?
Jiang Qi smiled slightly. He was sure that the white jade pen holder was real. He was extremely sure.
Because on the white jade penholder, he felt an aura similar to that of the short sword and the eighteen sons.
In other words, this is also an object that harbors someone’s obsession.
Even if it wasn't Su Shi, it would be someone else.
Eight hundred thousand, not a loss.
About half an hour later, the master also measured the size of the pen washer and brought over a suitable box.
"Ghost-eyed Huanghuali."
The senior manager didn't say much. For knowledgeable people, one sentence is enough.
"Yes, just deduct it from your card."
Jiang Qi nodded and put the pen washer in, which fit perfectly with the velvet lining inside the box.
Just as he stood up to say goodbye, he suddenly saw an old man.
"teacher?"
Jiang Qi was stunned, then walked quickly over with two boxes in his arms, bowed slightly and said, "Teacher, why are you here?"
Li Tong turned around and nodded when he saw Jiang Qi, and said suddenly: "I was visiting a street stall and saw Qingyun's car. It seems that Qingyun drove her scooter for you?"
"Yes, I'm here to do something."
Jiang Qi understood that his rich senior sister's vision was not too bad. It was obvious that the old man had bumped into her and was afraid that his student would be cheated again, so he came to the platform specially.
"You collected this?"
Li Tong pointed to the two boxes in Jiang Qi's arms.
"One is from home, I'll put it in a box, and the other is just collected."
Jiang Qi "answered truthfully".
"Find a place and look at your vision."
Li Tong said, glared at Jiang Qi, and strolled towards an empty tea table aside.
"Eh."
Jiang Qi nodded and followed, knowing that the old man was angry. After all, the old man had just told him to focus on his studies not long ago.
Li Tong's appearance attracted a lot of people's attention.
This old man is famous here for his vicious eyes.
Coupled with the richest knowledge and experience among current historians, it is not wrong to say that identifying antiques is easy to get.
Seeing that Li Tong was about to slap someone, he came over.
Li Tong didn't care. He opened the box of Ghost Eye Huanghuali first, and his eyes lit up when he saw the Ru kiln brush wash inside.
He picked it up and looked at it with admiration, and said: "It's an old thing that opens the door. It's unmistakable. It's priceless!"
The so-called open door means that you can tell that this thing is genuine without even looking at it.
"Good guy, it's rare to see such a complete Ru kiln!"
"It's still a nail burn!"
"Little brother, if you want to make a move, make a price, and I promise not to counter-offer, how about that?"
The people around him are also experienced people, so naturally they all know the goods.
Jiang Qi didn't answer. He pushed the other box towards the teacher, which was regarded as showing his attitude.
"Is this what you charged? How much did it cost?"
Li Tong put down his pen washer and asked while opening another box.
"Eight hundred thousand."
"spendthrift!"
The old man flew over with a glare before he even looked.
In his opinion, even if Jiang Qi has some discernment, can he outperform the experienced players present?
Coupled with the cars outside, the old man knew what was going on at a glance.
But there is no way for Jiang Qi to make the decision on this kind of thing. Once the property is cleared, there is no turning back. This is the rule of the antique shop.
With that said, the old man opened the box.
When he looked down, he was stunned.
Immediately he took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and put it on it for a closer look.
Jiang Qi was a little surprised. It seemed that the teacher had discovered something.
"good!"
Li Tong suddenly applauded and said with a smile: "What a Derby Zhuan Xu!"
"In order to inherit the family, I actually came up with this method."
Li Tong looked at Jiang Qi with a smile and said, "You are really lucky. This thing, let alone 800,000, plus zero will be enough."
"Teacher Li, what do you mean? Is this object real?"
The senior manager on the side couldn't help but come up and ask.
Li Tong didn't answer, he just handed Jiang Qi the magnifying glass and asked him to look at the words Zhuan Xu of Derby.
"Let's see if we find anything."
