Tripod wedding

Chapter 228 The Battle of Fighting (Part [-])

Since it is necessary to "fight", there must be scenes.

Everyone moved to the "Ice Drinking Room" on the third floor of Zhao's mansion. Zhao Zimo's men quickly sorted out a large table, put gloves, rulers, scales and other measuring instruments.

Zhao Wencheng sat in the main seat, looking at Xu Qingru with a pair of sharp eyes, full of sarcasm.Zhao Zimo stood on one side, waiting for a good show.

The first object was quickly turned up, a large brocade box of silk and satin, from which the younger brothers carefully brought out a bronze Buddha statue, standing upright, with the right hand stretched out and the left hand in the seal, the whole body is strong and straight, with a thin waist and bare feet, The buttocks are plump and have feminine characteristics. At first glance, it should be a Buddha statue in the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

"This is the bronze Buddha statue of the Northern Wei Dynasty. You can start." Zhao Wencheng ordered.

Xu Qingru put on the gloves, took a breath, calmed down, carefully picked up the Buddha statue, and began her identification.

Shape, material, engraving, these are the places that should be checked to identify Buddha statues.After Xu Qingru checked these basic techniques quickly, she already had a clear idea in mind.

But as a "rookie" in the eyes of Jiangu circle, she can't make a conclusion so early, which is too inconsistent with the label they gave her.Xu Qingru recalled that Fu Jinsong once told her that she had actually learned the two parts of the authenticity and counterfeiting in "Haiyin's Notes", but she hadn't fully mastered it.

The so-called mastery means that when she identified the counterfeit, she also understood the method of counterfeiting.The biggest reason why Xu Qingru couldn't comprehend for so long was that the objects she had been practicing all along were replicas.

Replicas are different from fakes in that replicas will not try their best to restore the original appearance, let alone fake crystal spots, silk painting stains and other traces of the times.

Xu Qingru secretly rejoiced, isn't this a good time to "exercise"?Now she can try to see if she can identify the method used to make this object.

Her knuckles moved to the position of the Buddha's head, and started again, looking "slowly".

In the end, Xu Qingru used more than 20 minutes of the nearly half-hour identification time to see how the Buddha statue was forged.

When she put down the Buddha statue and took off her gloves, Zhao Wencheng's sarcasm sounded very cooperatively: "It seems that you still haven't made much progress. You can look at a Buddha statue for so long."

Xu Qingru nodded: "Mr. Zhao taught me the lesson."

"It's just a little more time." Fu Tianze interrupted suddenly, "Qingru is still young, and there is plenty of time to improve slowly. Moreover, as long as there are results, there is no difference between fast and slow."

This is obviously "protecting weaknesses", Xu Qingru secretly smiled inwardly, this person has probably already guessed what she was doing just now, and it is so cute to cooperate with her so much.

Zhao Wencheng hummed and said, "What's your result?"

Xu Qingru calmed down and said:
"This Buddha statue, with its short clothes showing its feet, pleats close to the body, and clothes with parallel lines, is a typical 'Gandhara-style' style statue, and it is also the main feature of Buddhist statues in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The image characteristics of the Han people are strong and solid, but the body is charming and gentle, with both hardness and softness. They are neither Hu people nor Han people. The same is true for this bronze Buddha statue."

Zhao Wencheng's face became gloomy, his eyes were sharp, and he said, "So, you can't tell where the bronze Buddha statue is fake?"

Xu Qingru continued: "The problem with this Buddha statue is the inscription. The inscriptions of the Northern Wei Dynasty used the Ganzhi calendar, and later began to use the dynasties of the history books, or use the temple name. But this Buddha statue is engraved with the inscription 'Taiwu San "Nian", "Taiwu" is the posthumous title of Emperor Taiwu Tuobatao of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and "Taiwu Three Years" does not use the Ganzhi calendar, isn't this an obvious mistake?"

Fu Tianze hastened to add fuel and jealousy: "It is indeed a mistake."

Zhao Wencheng's complexion changed, and he sat in the chair, remained silent for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay. Next thing."

As soon as the words fell, the younger brothers invited the Buddha statue down, and brought up a round brocade box.

Zhao Zimo, who was watching the play on one side, had a shallow smile on his face, which was quite playful.
