Chapter forty-eight The hard-to-recite sutras

When Zhou Nanming came out of the collection room, his smile on his face was bright and bright, without the melancholy and sadness that literary youths were commonly seen.

Although she politely refused to invite Liu Yuqing to dinner, he felt that this trip was worth it. At least, he had been alone with Liu Yuqing for a while, and Zhou Xia, although he was promoted to a senior appraiser, he did not even have the qualifications to pursue Liu Yuqing.

Zhou Nanming went out happily, leaving only a graceful and elegant back for everyone.

Zhou Xia said that it is really hard to understand creatures like Zhou Nanming, literary youth like him. Whether it is Ah Q or entertaining himself, it has nothing to do with him anyway. Zhou Xia is quite vulgar and only knows that he made a small profit today, which is really worth celebrating.

"I haven't left yet. It's not too late, so it's time for everyone to get off work! Master Xu, Zhou Xia, you two wait a moment, I went to get the rouge red horseshoe cup and came out, and went to Uncle Xu's shop together." Liu Yuqing saw that everyone was still there, and greeted him with a smile.

Xu Zhendong smiled and said that there was no hurry, so it was impossible for others to join in the fun, so they packed up and got off work.

Before leaving the door, Wang Chao asked Zhou Xia if he would come to the company tomorrow morning.

Zhou Xia replied that he wanted to go to the library to visit, but felt that the theoretical knowledge was not solid enough, so he had to work harder.

This made Wang Chao and others quite ashamed. With Zhou Xia's theoretical level, they also said that the foundation was not solid, which made them feel sorry for each other.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Xia was talking about the truth. Now he has an archaeological identification system, which can accurately identify the age. But no matter how specific the details are, he can only rely on his own knowledge to analyze and ponder. In many cases, it is useless to just identify the exact age. You have to know what it is and what characteristics of the era. With enough theoretical knowledge to lay the groundwork, it will be more convincing when talking about the reasons for the appraisal.

Wang Chao and the others left first, and Zhou Xia chatted with Xu Zhendong, talking about Xu Yaohui, the owner of the antique shop who was about to visit.

Xu Zhendong shook his head when he mentioned him, and his evaluation was only three words, a prodigal son!

Zhou Xia was very happy. It seemed that every family had difficult sutras to recite.

Soon, Liu Yuqing came out with the equipped horseshoe cup. The horseshoe cup was not big, and the brocade box outside could be held with one hand, but she still carefully held it with both hands.

"Manager Liu wants to drive, so let me get it!" Zhou Xia quickly signaled her and asked her to put it on the table in the company hall, and then he would be responsible.

Xu Zhendong laughed, "Zhou Xia, you should learn to drive too!"

Zhou Xia replied, "I don't have much time to study, let's talk about it, it's still early to buy a car. As long as everyone doesn't mind, I'll just get the car."

Xu Zhendong didn't say much. He actually didn't know how to drive because he lived close to the company. He usually took a walk to work, and he didn't need to drive himself when he went to far places.

When they went out together, Liu Yuqing also asked him, "I don't know how the business is in Uncle Xu's store. I'm so busy these days that I haven't visited him."

Xu Zhendong said, "Don't mention it. He tossed the store. I saw that it would not be possible to open a store for half a year. If he hadn't bothered me all day long, I wouldn't have bothered him."

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "It is said that if you don't open for half a year, you can eat for half a year. Uncle Xu should have the essence of it."

Xu Zhendongdao, "I won't worry if I can do this."

Zhou Xia and Xu Yaohui were not familiar with each other, so they didn't interrupt and just followed them and took good care of his own porcelain.

Liu Yuqing drove over from the company and arrived in a few minutes. She was near the Old City God Temple, but the location of the store was a little off. Zhou Xia didn't come here yesterday when he was shopping in the Antique Street.

The store is called Jiguzhai. Xu Yaohui is not in the store. The person who is looking at the store is a little girl. She looks like she is fourteen or fifteen years old, with bright eyes and kind eyes, and is reading a book.

Several people entered the store and the little girl looked up and saw it. She immediately put down the book and stood up, shouting happily, "Grandpa, Sister Qing, why are you here!"

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "Come and see Xin'er! Long time no see, I've become much more beautiful."

But the little girl was not so easy to be fooled, and said in a pretty voice, "Don't lie to me, who doesn't know that Sister Qing, you are busy with the auction company all day long, how can you have time to see me, a little girl? Also, let me tell you first, our family has no treasures. If you want to collect items for the autumn auction, you will come to the wrong place!"

Xu Zhendong immediately raised his face and taught her a lesson, "Look at what you said, girl!"

The smile on Liu Yuqing's face became brighter and brighter, "Oh, Xin'er also knows that the Gu family is hidden, and she is so vigilant. However, you really guessed wrong this time."

The little girl laughed and said, "Maybe Sister Qing gave me a baby? Then I will thank you in advance."

Liu Yuqing reached out and twisted her round little face, "I really deserve to be the daughter taught by Uncle Xu. I guess it's accurate, but the thing is not mine."

"I knew Sister Qing was not that kind." The little girl said, "Don't talk. She then turned her attention to Zhou Xia who came in with them, and asked them, "Whose thing belongs to that thing, baby?"

Xu Zhendong immediately replied, "Of course, baby, it's up to your grandfather, I don't want this old face, and I borrowed it from Zhou Xia. You can see it later. It's absolutely beautiful!"

"The treasure's owner is this teacher, Zhou Xia, senior appraiser of Tiandi Auction Company." Xu Zhendong gave them a formal introduction, "This is my granddaughter, Xu Liuxin."

Zhou Xia shook his head quickly, "I can't afford to be a teacher, just call my name Zhou Xia."

Xu Liuxin laughed and said, "Sister Qing, your company hired this senior appraiser so young and handsome. Thank you for lending the baby to my house!"

"Where should I thank you for your praise!" Zhou Xia thought this little girl was quite interesting. He was a little different from handsomeness, but now the names everywhere are all handsome men and beautiful women, so she has long been immune.

Xu Liuxin asked again, "By the way, can you take out the baby first and let me see it?"

"Of course, then I'll put this first." Zhou Xia carefully placed the brocade box in her hand on the table, signaling her to open the brocade box to appreciate it. Those who came from an antique collection family like Xu Liuxin were deeply influenced by the rules of the antique business since childhood. Otherwise, Xu Yaohui would not be relieved to let her see the store. Therefore, Zhou Xia didn't have to worry about breaking porcelain. Such a thing that would happen if she was carelessly breaking porcelain.

Xu Zhendong took this opportunity to ask her, "Xin'er, where is your dad! Why aren't you in the store?"

"As soon as I came back from school, he threw the store to me and rushed out. I asked, and he said he was interested in two treasures and wanted to take them down quickly." Xu Liuxin answered, while gently uncovering the brocade box.

"What kind of treasure are they?" Xu Zhendong asked quickly.

"I didn't ask in detail, either." Xu Liuxin replied casually.

She unveiled the brocade box and saw the porcelain lying quietly inside. She was immediately attracted by its beautiful color. She immediately exclaimed, "It's really beautiful, this should be the rouge red glaze!"

"Miss Xu has a family background and can tell at a glance." Zhou Xia replied.

Liu Yuqing reminded next to her, "What's the name of Miss Xu? It sounds so uncomfortable. Zhou Xia, just call her name just like me."

Zhou Xia smiled embarrassedly, and Liu Yuqing ignored him and said to Xu Liuxin directly, "Xin'er, how about it, this baby is good!"

Xu Liuxin asked, "This kind of rouge red horseshoe cup must be worth a lot! Sister Qing, can I get it?"

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "Of course, if you don't get started with it yourself, how can you experience its exquisite and wonderful place?"

Xu Liuxin then picked it up carefully. Zhou Xia saw that her technique was quite professional. It seemed that she had been influenced since childhood.

While she was appreciating porcelain, Xu Zhendong was a little worried and took out his cell phone and prepared to call Xu Yaohui.

Liu Yuqing did not disturb her, but she expressed doubts about Xu Zhendong's behavior, "Master Xu, are you?"

"Call him to ask about the situation, you can't let us wait here!" Xu Zhendong said.

Liu Yuqing smiled and said, "How can we consider waiting? We can take the opportunity to appreciate the treasures that Uncle Xu collected from Luo. Zhou Xia, do you think so?"

Xu Zhendong shook his head straight after hearing this, "It's better not to look at these things!"

Zhou Xia naturally nodded and said yes. He heard the disappointment in Xu Zhendong's words. He had just scanned it roughly. Although he was not particularly sure, most of the things in the store were new.

But he felt that this was no wonder Xu Yaohui. He always had to make money to eat when opening a store. Even the crafts were valuable. It was impossible that everything in the store was genuine. Even if the auction company selected the items they collected, they did not dare to pat them with their chests to guarantee that they were 100% genuine. People always had omissions, and the devil was one foot taller. Now the level of counterfeiting of antique collections is getting higher and higher. We can only try our best to strictly control it, and not 100% eliminate it.

Xu Zhendong called, but Liu Yuqing couldn't stop him, so he could ask him to find Xu Yaohui back. Zhou Xia's rouge red horseshoe cup was worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. Although Xu Liuxin was already very mature and sensible, it still seemed too hasty to give it to her like this.

Xu Liuxin was appreciating the Rouge Red Horseshoe Cup. Xu Zhendong called, and Zhou Xia and Liu Yuqing were free, so they carefully studied the antique collections in their store.

There are not many good things placed outside, and those new ones don’t need to be seen too much. The few that are still eye-catching cannot stand the scrutiny and are basically high-quality imitations. Seeing a piece of porcelain imitating Kangxi in the late Qing Dynasty, Zhou Xia and Liu Yuqing both looked at each other and laughed at each other. This is also the true face of the current market. Zhou Xia just wanted to say that it is really difficult to find a bargain in such an antique shop!

Xu Zhendong's phone number was finished quickly, and he came over to Zhou Xia and said, "Sorry, I want everyone to wait a little longer and he will come back soon."

Liu Yuqing asked him, "Master Xu, have you bought the treasure that Uncle Xu likes?"

Xu Zhendong shook his head gently, "I called him just to remind him not to rush to pay, and bring it back for us to see before making a decision. He wants to pay one or two more items, so the store doesn't need to be opened, it's good to close the door!"

Liu Yuqing and Zhou Xia looked at each other when they heard this. It seemed that Xu Yaohui was quite confused recently!
