Chapter 93 Uninvited Guests

Mo Wenxin nodded with satisfaction, then stood up and said with a smile to the guests present: "Today at noon, we will have a drink at Zuiyuan Building. Everyone will come. We will not go home until we are drunk."

"Don't worry, Lao Mo, we won't be polite." Gu Xiuming said with a smile.

Afterwards, everyone started to make noises, and some people who were close to Mo Wenxin also took out gifts and gave them to Zhang Xiao, which made Zhang Xiao a little confused.

"Take it, it's the wishes of the elders. During the holidays from now on, if you say hello to the elders, it's considered your intention." Mo Wenxin said with a smile. He knew very well about these people who gave gifts.

It's all for his sake.

Zhang Xiao accepted it with a smile and saluted the elders, but he also remembered all the guests.

When Zhang Xiao's parents saw that the ceremony was over, they left and started a new day of sightseeing.

The people who came today were all experts in antique appreciation, so they all brought up some interesting things they had encountered before to share and discuss, which really gave Zhang Xiao a lot of insights.

While everyone was discussing, Gu Tianxin came up with a boy and a girl. As soon as he came up, he congratulated Mo Wenxin: "Congratulations to Brother Mo on getting his beloved disciple. I would like to congratulate you here."

Mo Wenxin's expression changed slightly at this moment, but he still said with a smile: "Brother Gu is here, please sit inside."

Today is a great event for Mo Wenxin, so I try to be polite to Gu Tianxin, an uninvited guest, and put aside the previous unhappiness between the two.

After Gu Tianxin and Mo Wenxin bowed their hands in greeting, they smiled slightly at Zhang Xiao and said, "You are Zhang Xiao, Brother Mo's apprentice, you are really a talented person."

"That's a ridiculous compliment. Zhang Xiao doesn't deserve such praise." Zhang Xiao said quickly and respectfully.

"Brother Mo, the rules of our antique shop require that every newcomer needs to be studied by the elders. Although it is a formality, the etiquette cannot be discarded. How about letting Gu come to solve this question today." Gu Tianxin turned to Mo Wenxin again.

Said with a smile.

In Mo Wenxin's view, Gu Tianxin's actions today were just to cause trouble, but it was difficult to refute what he proposed. After all, this was the rule in the antique shop.

Mo Wenxin originally planned to ask some old friends to pose some questions as a formality, but who knew that Gu Tianxin picked them out before they even started. This made him a little annoyed, but he couldn't refuse at the moment and could only say: "

Brother Gu is lucky to be able to come up with questions. It depends on whether he is lucky enough to enjoy it."

Gu Tianxin smiled slightly and said: "Some time ago, Gu got a piece of porcelain from abroad. It is very well preserved, but I don't know whether it is true or false, so I will use it as a test question today."

After Gu Tianxin finished speaking, he asked the young man behind him to bring up a square wooden box from downstairs and placed it on the square table in the middle of the hall.

At this time, the girl stepped forward and opened the wooden box, took out a long, narrow-mouthed bottle and placed it on the table. There was also a layer of fine velvet cloth underneath to prevent it from slipping.

At this moment, Mo Wenxin whispered to Zhang Xiao: "If you can see it accurately, say it, and if you can't see it accurately, just guess it. We must not let the ancient head take this bottle away."

"Do you have any explanation?" Zhang Xiao frowned and asked.

"This is a way to congratulate you. It was originally just a way to show off the younger ones, but later it changed its flavor and became a disguised form of kicking the gym. Although it doesn't hurt even if you lose, this approach is too disgusting." Mo.

Wen Xin was gnashing his teeth in hatred, but he had no choice but to do it. After all, the rules still had to be followed, and even if he was prosperous in the antique business, he would not dare to break the rules.

Zhang Xiao nodded and understood Gu Tianxin's sinister intentions. After all, Mo Wenxin's reputation cannot be damaged casually, but this is an excellent opportunity. After all, if he can fail in the test, then what will happen to him?

Mo Wenxin was also an invisible blow.

"It's this piece of porcelain, come and take a look." Gu Tianxin said to Zhang Xiao with a smile.

Zhang Xiao did not hesitate, walked forward directly, and began to observe the porcelain. After all, only by careful observation can we know the origin of this porcelain.

The first thing Zhang Xiao observed was the shape of the vessel. After all, the shape of the vessel is an integral part of the appraisal of porcelain. The shape of the vessel refers to the appearance of the mouth, neck, shoulders, abdomen, bottom and feet of the vessel.

The mouth of this porcelain is slightly open, about three centimeters, followed by a long neck, about seven or eight centimeters long, the bottle body is about ten centimeters in diameter, and its bottom is about six centimeters in diameter, with a number engraved on it, dating from the Chenghua year of the Ming Dynasty.

The pattern on the bottle is the more classic cloud and crane pattern, which matches the colorful auspicious clouds. It has a very good meaning, meaning good luck and good luck soaring into the sky.

Judging from the color of its texture, it should be a color unique to the very famous doucai.

Doucai was created during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. Doucai during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty was the most highly regarded. It is a decorative variety that combines underglaze and overglaze colors. If this is an authentic product, its value will be extremely high.

expensive.

Then Zhang Xiao took it into his hands and immediately knew that it did not contain Yuan Neng. Therefore, the possibility that it was made during the Chenghua Year of the Ming Dynasty was extremely small. It was most likely that it was imitated later, or even a modern handicraft.

However, Zhang Xiao still needs to observe carefully. The opening is slightly open to the outside, which is in line with the design of the vase, and it is perfect in terms of its opening and other aspects. However, Zhang Xiao can almost conclude at this moment that this is an imitation.

It is a handicraft that has just been produced in modern times. It has no historical value, but its imitation level is good.

Zhang Xiao felt a little happy at the moment, so he smiled and said: "Gu Gu, did you really bring this piece of porcelain back from abroad?"

"Not bad." Gu Tianxin nodded and said.

"Then do you think this is a genuine piece from the Chenghua period?" Zhang Xiao continued to ask. After all, he needed to ask Gu Tianxin clearly what he thought of this porcelain. Don't let him make a judgment by then. Gu Tianxin said and his judgment

Likewise, even if he wins, it won't be a big deal. Since he has confirmed the authenticity of this piece of porcelain at this time, he has no intention of saving face for Gu Tianxin.

Gu Tianxin was a little hesitant at this moment. After all, he was not too sure, but at this moment Zhang Xiao had already asked. As a famous person in the antique industry, he had to give an answer, so he said without hesitation: "Yes, I

I think this should be an authentic product.”

"It's old. Juniors have some different opinions. I think this porcelain should be a modern imitation handicraft." Zhang Xiao smiled slightly after Gu Tianxin said the answer.

As soon as Zhang Xiao said this, everyone present was in an uproar. After all, if what Zhang Xiao said was true, then Gu Tianxin could be said to have been slapped in the face this time. After all, he was the one who proposed this sophisticated matter.

.

Gu Tianxin's expression changed at this moment, and he asked Zhang Xiao in disbelief: "You said this is a modern handicraft, I don't believe it!"

Zhang Xiao said seriously at this moment: "The ancients said that he brought it back from abroad. Then there are two possibilities. One is that the foreign porcelain firing technology is not weaker than that of the domestic one, and even its counterfeiting skills are extremely superb. The other is

One possibility is that they were counterfeited in China and then sold abroad, and Gu Gu bought them back."

Gu Tianxin was extremely angry at the moment. After all, by saying this, Zhang Xiao had concluded that the porcelain was a fake and a modern imitation. However, he did not give a reason. This made Gu Tianxin couldn't help but wink at the girl.

The girl immediately understood what grandpa Gu Tianxin meant, so she pouted and said coquettishly: "Brother Zhang Xiao, if you say this is a modern handicraft, you have to give me a reason, otherwise I won't accept it."

Zhang Xiao couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he looked at the playful pouting look of this beautiful girl. It seemed that Gu Tianxin was unwilling to come forward in person, but asked this girl to come forward as a fig leaf for him, but he did not hesitate.

He directly explained: "Although this doucai vase looks like it was made during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, there are some differences between it and the one made during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, both in terms of its material and color."

"First of all, in terms of its material, the body color of this porcelain is completely white, and even the bottom is white. This is very different from the color of the whitened porcelain clay from the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. This is the first doubtful point."

"Secondly, in terms of texture, porcelain from the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty has a tight and heavy texture, with a crisp and pleasant sound and a longer melody. The thicker tire wall of this piece is another doubtful point."

"The third point is that the lines are a bit sloppy in chemical engineering, which is very different from the products made during the Chenghua period. This is also the biggest doubt."

"To sum up these three doubts, I think this is a modern imitation handicraft. Although it has been extremely careful, the imitator probably does not have an authentic product in his hands. He has only seen some authentic products in the museum, so mistakes are inevitable."

Zhang Xiao was talking eloquently, but Mo Wenxin was very pleased at the moment. Even he did not dare to conclude that this porcelain was a modern handicraft. He could only say that it was not authentic. Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiao not only dared to conclude

, and dared to state the reasons for everyone to judge.

As soon as Zhang Xiao finished speaking, many porcelain scholars and experts began to come forward to observe the porcelain to see if it was consistent with what Zhang Xiao said. After all, even they did not dare to conclude that the porcelain was fake.

Zhang Xiao stepped aside, smiled and said nothing, watching everything happen with a smile.

But at this moment, Gu Tianxin's expression had changed a lot. He was no longer as high-spirited as when he first came here, but was a little depressed. He didn't expect that a play he had carefully designed would be lost because of this piece of porcelain. This also showed that he was very interested in porcelain.

His level of appreciation was even lower than that of Zhang Xiao, which made it difficult for him to accept it for a while.

Mo Wenxin is very happy at this moment. After all, Zhang Xiao can explain this piece of porcelain so thoroughly, which is enough to prove that Zhang Xiao has made some achievements in porcelain appreciation. Although it is not yet certain what your achievements are, it is considered a success at this moment.
