Grand Collection

Chapter 16 Identifying True and False

Luo Zigeng was taken aback, "Kang Wuxie?"

This is not the first time he has heard of this name. Back then at the hot spring hotel, he had heard it from the Eighth Sage King and Kong Xin, and their tone of voice was quite complicated.

Kong Xin put the Guan Erzun back into the safe and locked it, "In the history of porcelain, there are masters who are one foot tall in appraisal, and there are also masters in imitation who are one foot tall in height. Have you heard of the three imitations of Fuliang in Jingdezhen?"

Luo Zigeng blurted out, "Kang Fang, Liu Fang, Wei Fang."

Kong Xin nodded, "Kang Wuxie is the master of Kangfang for hundreds of years. He imitated the official kilns to make the real ones. Antique dealers and collectors love and hate him, but they all have to respectfully call him the official kiln king."

Luo Zigeng knew all these rumors, and sighed, "I've done it again."

"Don't talk about you, this Guan Erzun even lied to my grandfather," Kong Xin smiled and flicked his forehead. "I have lived for 26 years, and I have never seen anyone who can accurately identify Kang Fang."

Having said that, Luo Zigeng felt very frustrated that he drilled eyes twice in one day. After studying with Kong Xin for so long, he could clearly feel the improvement of his appreciation ability. Thunderbolt instantly knocked him back to his original shape.

Kong Xin seemed unaware of his loss, opened another safe, "Look at this again."

Luo Zigeng looked up at him.

Kong Xin had no expression on his face.

"Brother Kong," Luo Zigeng hesitated, "I..."

Kong Xin raised his eyebrows, with contempt in his eyes, "Can't afford to lose? As the old saying goes, a family has three courtyards, and then enters the antique business. We are collectors. We are not afraid of going bankrupt, but we are afraid of not having the momentum to make a comeback."

Luo Zigeng's heart trembled, his father had already lost everything, and now he was barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes, what else could he afford to lose?

As long as the heart is not dead, there will always be a day of comeback.

His fluttering heart suddenly settled down, and he nodded, "I understand." After speaking, he walked over to appreciate a vase of fighting color porcelain slowly rising from the safe.

"This..." The moment he saw the porcelain cup, a name almost blurted out, but the moment he opened his mouth, he suppressed it. Luo Zigeng settled down to appraise it for a long time before looking at Kong Xin, "Cheng Huadou Colored Chicken Crock Cup."

Kong Xin smiled, "Are you sure?"

Looking at his weird smile, Luo Zigeng felt that his heart was about to stop beating. This guy smiles Mimi all day long, but his smile doesn't reach his eyes at all, so you can't see what he's planning behind his smile, but he always Feel the wind blowing on your back.

Bite the scalp and said, "Sure."

Kong Xin’s slender fingers caressed the cockpit cup unconsciously, and occasionally raised his eyes to glance at him, but the eyes were divided as soon as the eyes were touched, and he tortured him for more than ten minutes before he said thoughtfully, “You know the cockfighting cup is now on What price will the auction be? In 1980 Sotheby's private collection auction of 'Chou's', a cockfighting cup broke the world record for Chinese artwork with a transaction price of 528 million Hong Kong dollars. In 1999, Sotheby's Hong Kong auction , this cup once again broke the world record for Doucai porcelain at 2917 million Hong Kong dollars. Rare things are more expensive. According to domestic authorities, there are no more than five cockfighting cups in the world. Are you sure this is genuine?"

Luo Zigeng's eyes darkened, his eyes fixed on the chicken bowl cup for a moment, then he raised his head, "I'm sure."

Just as he was talking, Kong Yi rushed over holding a handle of jasper Ruyi, his eyes suddenly fell on the cockpit cup, and shouted, "Isn't this the cockfighting cup that grandpa received back then? The treasure of our store, brother, you finally Are you willing to take it out to see the sun?"

Luo Zigeng raised his head sharply, looked at Kong Xin's playful eyes, and laughed out of strength, "You lied to me!"

"Soldiers never tire of cheating," Kong Xin said bluntly, blocking the way, and turned to look at the jasper in Kong Yi's hand, "I have good eyesight. I spent 7 yuan to collect this Ruyi jade. I will transfer [-] yuan to you, and I will earn some money for running errands." .”

Kong Yi raised his middle finger angrily, "My brother, you still charge money!!!"

"Gujin Pavilion has dozens of idlers from the old Kong's family. How can we get by if we don't charge money?" Kong Xin grabbed his middle finger and folded it back forcefully.

"Ahhhhhhh..." Kong Yi immediately howled.

Kong Xin looked calm, "Do you still dare to stand up this dog's paw casually?"

"Don't dare, don't dare, I don't even dare if you lend me three hundred courage! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Reining in the precipice, my good brother who knows how to return after being lost..."

Kong Xin didn't change his face, "One hundred thousand, buy it or not, you have the right to bargain."

Kong Yi trembled, "I'll buy it! I'll buy it! Your price must be very good... Let me go... Woo..."

Kong Xin let go of his fingers in satisfaction, and said bitterly, "You son of a bitch, Article 730 of the Kong Family Regulations, one penny and one per cent is hard-won, half a thread and half a wisp of permanent memory is hard to come by, grandpa I hate extravagance and waste, and you don't even grasp the opportunity to counter-offer, aren't you ashamed?"

Kong Yi suffered a great loss in his hands, trembling, "Shame."

Kong Xin: "Go and copy the family rules. You are 22 years old, so copy it 22 times no more or no less."

Kong Yi yelled, "Grandpa's chatter, he wrote more than 100 family rules!!!"

"Yes," Kong Xin smiled softly, "Look at you brat, your face is turning green with joy. Since you like it so much, then make up a whole number and copy it a hundred times."

Kong Yi roared: "22! Deal!!!"

Going home in the evening, Kong Yi gave Biyu Ruyi to the old lady, pretending to find it by himself, successfully washed away a little hatred, and sneaked into Kong Xin's study in despair.

Kong Xin raised his head from an ancient book, looked through his glasses, and scanned him like an X-ray, "What's the matter?"

"It's so boring at home." Kong Yi smoked a cigarette, leaning against the door frame like a boneless rub, "Go out and have some fun, I've already asked Luo Zigeng, let's have a threesome."

Kong Xin was expressionless, "I have something to do tonight."

"What's the matter?" Kong Yi's eyes lit up suddenly, "Are you going on a blind date?"

"You're thinking too much," Kong Xin took off his glasses, closed his eyes tiredly, and said calmly, "The cardiologist is coming to Wen's house tonight, I have to go there."

Kong Yi knew that Wen Zhijun's medicine jar had a good relationship with his elder brother, so he nodded, "Oh."

Kong Xin looked up at him, "What do you want to say?"

"It's nothing." Kong Yi scratched his hair, "You also know that I love gossip. I heard that Brother Zhijun's disease is a family inheritance. His grandfather and father both passed away very early..."

The voice became lower and lower, Kong Xin sighed, "I know, but my sister likes him."

Both of them understand that Kong Min has the temperament of "her boss and second child". It is well known that he is infatuated with Wen Zhijun and cannot help himself. If Wen Zhijun is healthy and healthy, even if he is a dude, everyone will have to give a thumbs up and praise The family is a good marriage, but with his current body, even if he wants to get married, he still has insufficient energy. Meiren Wen is actually a beauty plague, so the two have been dragging on, and this marriage has become a joke in the antique shop.

Kong Min likes Wen Zhijun, so the Kong family can't just watch Wen Zhijun die early.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Kong Xin stood up, "Where are you going to play? I just took you to Wen's house to find him."

"1912," Kong Yi muttered, "you won't let me go where I want to go."

Kong Xin glanced at him, and Kong Yi immediately shut up.

When we arrived at Wen’s house, before the doctor arrived, Meng Xin had already arrived. He was playing with Wen Zhijun in the study, when Kong Xin met Luo Zigeng, patted him on the shoulder, and said in a low voice, “Take care of that monkey. I'm looking for you."

Luo Zigeng suddenly felt dizzy, "Brother Kong, you also know Ah Yi's temperament, how can I control him!"

"Then I don't care!" Kong Xin was unreasonable.

Luo Zigeng was helpless, "I can only do my best."

"You kid knows how to measure, I trust you."

Kong Yi didn't return to China often, but he knew the bar street here like the back of his hand, so he led Luo Zigeng into a Western-style bar.

The two stood at the bar drinking, Kong Yi's eyes scanned the audience like searchlights, Luo Zigeng was speechless, "What are you looking at?"

"Nonsense, what do you think I'm watching?" Kong Yi turned around and touched the wine bottle with him, "I'm not doing well today, and the beauties and handsome men didn't come?"

A man appeared from behind the two of them and smiled at Luo Zigeng, "Can I buy you a drink?"

Luo Zigeng: "..."

"Pfft ha ha ha," Kong Yi burst out laughing, hugged Luo Zigeng, and said to the man, "Did you see him? He has a good vision, but you are too late, this handsome guy is in my pocket."

The man left wisely, Luo Zigeng: "..."

"Protect yourself, idiot," Kong Yi thumped his chest, "There are men and women here, if I take away your virginity, my brother will definitely take my handsome skin off."

It's not that Luo Zigeng has never been to this kind of place, he sighed helplessly, "Shut up!"

"Hey," Kong Yi glanced at a certain place, suddenly regained his energy, leaned into Luo Zigeng's ear and whispered, "Brother, I can't shut up this time, have you seen that man?"

Luo Zigeng looked over and saw a handsome young man sitting alone in a booth drinking, "Do you know him?"

"I just met this morning," Kong Yi said excitedly, "In Gujin Pavilion, he mistook me for his friend, tsk, the little face is pretty enough, I decided to target him tonight, take him out in 3 minutes Open the room, look at mine!"

As he spoke, he winked at Luo Zigeng and walked over there. Luo Zigeng was speechless, "Hey! Don't do this, your brother said..."

"My brother knows my virtues, don't worry."

Seeing Kong Yi sitting over, with a flattering familiarity, Luo Zigeng silently looked away, suddenly a slap was slapped behind him, and then a body full of alcohol smelt hit his back, Luo Zigeng turned his head, Seeing a drunk man flirting with a young man, his gaze fell on that man's face, and he froze for a moment, "Ji Kai?"
