Next, everyone chatted for a while, and of course the topic basically revolved around the thief in Zheng Qiuda's antique shop. Speaking of which, not to mention that Zheng Qiuda did not put his things in the safe, and the thieves visited him, it was also caused by his weak security awareness. Zheng Qiuda's antique shop has been open for several years near Baoguo Temple. His shop has a back door, which is always locked because he rarely leaves it. In addition, he uses a wooden stick to hold it up, so it has never been open. Be careful. Before the thief came, he probably didn't check it for at least a year. Unexpectedly, the lock on the door may not be opened often. It is old and the wooden stick is a bit rotten, which allowed the thief to take advantage of this loophole and break into the store so easily. And maybe because he was afraid that someone would come in through the front door, the thief also broke the lock on the front door, which made Zheng Qiuda particularly annoyed. At the end, Zheng Qiuda sighed and said: "In the final analysis, this matter is still my fault. It can be regarded as a lesson learned. As for the lost things, forget about other things, I just want to think about those things." I will be satisfied if I get the fan back intact." Chu Chen nodded and said, "Old Zheng, if you can get this fan back, do you have any intention of taking action?" Zheng Qiuda was stunned and immediately reacted. , Chu Chen had seen this fan in the morning, and it was normal for him to be interested in this thing, but he really had no intention of taking action and had always been hesitant. Seeing this, Zhu Dafu quickly said: "Old Zheng, it's okay not to sell the things. Can Xiao Chen bring the things to Mr. Liu for appraisal?" Zheng Qiuda was a little confused about Zhu Dafu's words. Because Zhu Dafu said "appraisal" rather than "appreciation", that is to say. Including Chu Chen, several of them did not identify the authenticity of the things. But since the authenticity was not verified, why did Chu Chen say he wanted to buy it? Seeing Zheng Qiuda¡¯s confused look, Zhu Dafu explained the matter to him. Only then did Zheng Qiuda realize that his fan was probably a copy of Zhang Daqian. Although the imitation is definitely not as valuable as the original, but with Zhang Daqian's reputation, Chu Chen will not suffer a loss even if he buys it at the price of the original. Zheng Qiuda scratched his head and said: "I am absolutely willing to do the appraisal. As for whether to transfer it or not, let me think about it." Hearing what Zheng Qiuda said, everyone smiled. The reason was also because of Zheng Qiuda. This person pursues perfection too much and has an obsessive personality. He is fine at ordinary times, but easily makes mistakes in critical moments. If there is Zhang Daqian's seal on the fan, Zheng Qiuda won't think it has anything to do with it. But there is no seal or anything else. In other words, this work is a conscious imitation by Zhang Daqian, which is a problem for him who pursues perfection. It's not very acceptable. However, Zheng Qiuda still admired this fan, and for a while he found it difficult to choose. As you can imagine, Zheng Qiuda may not be able to sleep well these days. Uncle Wu smiled and said: "I'm talking about Xiao Zheng. You can also change your character, otherwise we will all feel tired and panic for you." Zheng Qiuda smiled bitterly and said: "As the saying goes, it is easy to change the country, but it is difficult to change the nature. In fact, I I also want to get rid of this problem, but even if I can¡¯t get rid of it, I can¡¯t do anything about it! To be honest, just because of this problem, I had an accident last year. asked curiously. "You kid, you just like to see my jokes." Zheng Qiuda smiled and tapped Lao Wu with his finger, but he still told everyone what happened. It turned out that in July last year, Zheng Qiuda went to Zhongyuan Province to collect things. When he came back, he saw an old man in his fifties setting up a street stall next to the train station. There were all kinds of things on them, but most of them were fake at first glance. As for the remaining small part, Zheng Qiuda thinks there is a high possibility that it is a fake. As for the reason, it¡¯s just because the train station has always been a place where dragons and snakes mix. Even if the old man had something real, he wouldn¡¯t dare to take it out, otherwise he would be unlucky and something might happen. Although Zheng Qiuda estimated that the possibility of the thing being fake was very high, the train still had some time left, so it was too boring to wait in the waiting room, so Zheng Qiuda squatted down and looked at the part that did not look fake. , pick and choose. During this period, a statue of Guanyin caught his attention. This statue lowered its head, looked solemn and dignified, and had a kind expression, as if it was overlooking all living beings in the world. The folds of the clothes are all curved, the hair is silky, the sea water lines are fine, the face is rounded, and the expression is peaceful. The overall shape of this statue is steady and elegant, with well-proportioned proportions and delicate characterization. It looks like it was made by a master of porcelain sculpture. What's more, what Zheng Qiuda finds unbelievable is that there is a gourd-shaped inscription "He Chaozong" written in seal script on the back of the Guanyin statue. ? ??How could I still make a big mistake in a place like this? " At that time, Zheng Qiuda was really excited, but when he calmed down and observed carefully, he found several tiny features, and these were unlikely to appear on the authentic product, which made him somewhat regretful. As for who it is. Because of time constraints, Zheng Qiuda had no time to judge, so he had a difficult question: to buy or not to buy? In fact, except for a few details, this Guanyin statue is still very good for the price. It was suitable. No matter what, Zheng Qiuda¡¯s old habit came back. He felt that it was just an imitation, and he thought about what good things could be found here. In the end, he gave up and got on the train. Zheng Qiuda was still thinking about the Guanyin statue. The more he thought about it, the more he thought that he might have made a mistake. There were many imitators of He Chaozong, and some of them were quite famous. It would be a pity that the person was one of these famous people. When Zheng Qiuda was thinking wildly, a slightly fat man sat in front of him. The other person was holding something wrapped in a newspaper. The shape of the thing is very similar to the Guanyin statue I saw just now. ¡°It can¡¯t be such a coincidence, right? " Just when Zheng Qiuda was surprised, the other party greeted him familiarly and introduced himself as a small businessman who came here on a business trip. He just saw Zheng Qiuda holding this Guanyin statue from a distance. After looking at it, he finally put it back. Out of curiosity, he walked over and took a look. He didn't know what was antique or not, but he just felt that the Guanyin statue was very kind. Thinking that there was an old man at home who believed in Buddhism, he thought of going back. The price given by the old man was not expensive, and he paid without much counter-offering. In the end, he wanted to ask Zheng Qiuda to help him. Since he had nothing to do, Zheng Qiuda agreed, but he was out of town. This person was still wary, but when he took a closer look, he felt depressed, because based on his experience, he judged that this Guanyin statue should be an imitation of He Chaozong's work. Su Xuejin was an outstanding porcelain sculpture in Dehua in the late Qing Dynasty. Artist, a leading figure in the He School of Art. His porcelain plum blossoms were exhibited at the International Exposition and won an excellent award. At that time, in recognition of his work's international honor, Wu Chengxian also presented him with a plaque titled "Extremely Deep Research". The work is also collected in the Forbidden City. The most important thing is that Su Xuejin¡¯s imitation of He Chaozong¡¯s work is both physical and spiritual, and it is difficult to distinguish the real one. Zheng Qiuda looked closely and found that Su Xuejin¡¯s own style was added to it. It was a relatively rare artifact, do you think he could not be upset? In the end, Zheng Qiuda told the other party the result and asked him if he could transfer it. However, he said that it was fate that he could get this Guanyin statue, and he wanted to keep it for himself, so he politely declined. In the end, Zheng Qiuda lamented: "Maybe it's like what he said, I have no fate with that statue. " Looking at Zheng Qiuda's regretful look, Chu Chen thought to himself that this matter really has nothing to do with fate. The key is that Zheng Qiuda is not good at seizing opportunities. Just like he thought before, since he will not suffer a loss if he buys it, why not buy it? What? If it were him, he would definitely buy it even if he didn't have the power, and he wouldn't let the opportunity slip by. Lao Wu patted Zheng Qiuda on the shoulder and said, "Old Zheng, don't worry about it. Thinking about it, we have all encountered this kind of thing, but there are more people than others. However, I still advise you to change your temper. No gold is pure and no one is perfect. How many things in the world are perfect? " "Give it a try. " Zheng Qiuda nodded, but judging from his expression, he probably didn't care much about this matter. No one said much about this. After all, you walk your own life. As a friend, the most you can do is give some advice. As for the choice, he can only rely on himself. "Okay, let's talk about something happier. " Zhu Dafu waved his hand and told everyone an interesting anecdote from the market, which made everyone laugh. Then the atmosphere became lively again. " Everyone rambled on about some industry stories and rumors. Two hours passed in the blink of an eye. Just as Zheng Qiuda was about to say goodbye and leave, he received a call from the police station, saying that the thief had been caught and asked him to go there immediately. Zheng Qiuda quickly hung up the phone and told everyone. After saying goodbye, he was eagerly preparing to leave, but before he took a few steps, he came back and asked Chu Chen: "Xiao Chu, are you busy tomorrow? " Chu Chen shook his head: "It's nothing important. " When Zheng Qiuda heard this, he quickly smiled and cupped his hands to Chu Chen, and said, "Then I want to borrow you tomorrow. " "lend me? "Chu Chen saidQing was a little surprised and didn't know what Zheng Qiuda meant by saying that. Others were also a little confused. "That's what happened." Zheng Qiuda said with a smile: "The day before yesterday, through a friend's introduction, I saw a picture of calligraphy works in a house. I immediately wanted to buy them, but the other party refused to agree. Said he didn¡¯t believe the price I estimated¡¡± (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!?¡
