Chapter 304 Jiangnan rules, those who can do it
But this rule is simply not too good for Ye Fan.
If it were a pure treasure appraisal competition, Ye Fan thought he had no rivals in Jiangnan.
Even if a first-level treasure appraiser comes, Ye Fan will not give it to them. The only person who needs attention is President Wei of the Antiques Association.
However, after being here for so many days, President Wei still hasn't come back, which makes Ye Fan somewhat disappointed.
Besides President Wei, Ye Fan didn't need to be afraid of anyone.
This is not because he is arrogant, but because he really has the capital.
In the face of absolute strength, any show of force is just a paper tiger.
Ye Fan had a smile on his face, looked at Mr. Lei and said, "As expected of Jiangnan, such humane rules are really great."
Mr. Lei smiled bitterly, looking at Ye Fan's excited face, he felt helpless.
This guy has never been afraid of so-called competitions. The more competitions he has, the more excited he becomes.
After all, when it comes to identifying treasures, there are few who can rival him.
This rule in Jiangnan is equivalent to giving gifts to Ye Fan indirectly.
After collecting his thoughts, Lei Lao asked again: "What was the object that you and Feng Xiao traded yesterday?"
This was the main purpose of his visit today. Late last night, he heard that Ye Fan had exchanged a bronze dragon with Feng Xiao for Xiao Range. At that time, Boss Lei was furious.
The bronze dragon has never appeared on the market before. It is a national treasure among national treasures. I didn’t expect that it was traded away by Ye Fan so easily. How could he not be angry?
Therefore, he couldn't wait to come to Xiaoran Pavilion this morning, wanting to find out what happened to Ye Fan.
Seeing the eager expression on Mr. Lei's face, Ye Fan smiled slightly, then turned and walked to the corner of the room.
There were wooden boxes placed there, placed randomly.
But Ye Fan opened the box and took out a bronze dragon.
The shape is exquisite and lifelike, even the dragon's whiskers and scales are clearly visible.
"Is this the bronze dragon?"
After a brief glance, Mr. Lei's face was full of disbelief.
"You can tell it's a fake at a glance. Why did Mr. Wu miss it? Doesn't he belong to you too?"
At this time, Lei Lao's eyes were full of suspicion, and he was even more confused about Ye Fan.
He knew that Ye Fan was very strong, but he didn't expect that he was so strong that even Mr. Wu became his man.
Ye Fan quickly shook his head: "Mr. Wu is a first-class treasure appraiser no matter what, how could I possibly have this ability?"
Mr. Lei was even more puzzled. Since Mr. Wu was not Ye Fan's person, how could he make a mistake with his ability?
Knowing that Mr. Lei was full of confusion, Ye Fan curled up into a sneer.
Pointing to the words on the bronze dragon.
"Does Mr. Lei know what this word is?"
When Ye Fan asked, Mr. Lei was slightly startled, and then he noticed the words on it that looked like ghostly symbols.
Although he is also a first-level treasure appraiser and an all-round treasure appraiser, he has not dabbled in ancient writings. After all, if you want to study ancient writings, you need to put in a lot of energy. With Lei Lao's time, he doesn't have that much time.
Much time.
He shook his head helplessly: "I don't know these characters, but they look like pictographs. They should be pre-Qin characters."
Although I don’t know each other, I have been immersed in this trip for many years and have some understanding of him.
Ye Fan nodded: "As expected of Mr. Lei, he is indeed knowledgeable and knowledgeable."
I flattered the old man.
"This character is called the Big Seal Script, which was written in the pre-Qin period. Before the First Emperor unified the six kingdoms, this Big Seal Script was the standard script used by the Qin State. However, the Big Seal Script was difficult to write, with many strokes, and the symbolic meaning was too obvious. Therefore, when the Qin Dynasty
Unify the six countries and establish a great
After the country was unified, it was decided to abandon the large seal script and use the small seal script uniformly throughout the country. The large seal script has since withdrawn from the stage of history. Nowadays, the large seal script can only be seen in a few archaeological discoveries. It is only with the burning of books and the entrapment of Confucian scholars, even if it is
Among the funerary objects, there are
There are fewer and fewer records on bamboo slips with large seal characters.”
Speaking of this, Ye Fan couldn't help but sigh, his face full of regret.
China's civilization was five years ago, but the burning of books and the entrapment of Confucians was definitely a huge loss to Chinese history and culture. I don't know how many precious classics were burned.
Mr. Lei also sighed with conviction: "Yes, too many ancient pre-Qin books and cultures disappeared without a trace with that fatal blow. This has become a knot in the hearts of us antique practitioners that can never be solved."
Back to the subject, Ye Fan smiled: "There are very few big seal scripts handed down to the world, and even fewer people know about them, and Mr. Wu is one of them. He knows big seal scripts, although he is not proficient in them, but he knows many characters, and I am
Taking advantage of his advantage, he specially made this batch of bronze dragons with large seal characters engraved on them."
Ye Fan showed a wicked smile.
"Originally, Mr. Wu didn't believe that this bronze dragon was authentic. After all, thousands of years ago, dragon patterns were not so vivid. This is why among the cultural relics unearthed at that time, the dragon warriors were very simple four-legged beasts, including
Dragon Talisman and Tiger Talisman are also very simple dragon shapes.
But when Mr. Wu saw the large seal script on it, his doubts were instantly overturned, because he firmly believed that few modern people are proficient in large seal script, and even if they were proficient, they would not be able to copy the pre-Qin period
The fonts and notes are copied so perfectly."
"So, he firmly believed that this was an object from the pre-Qin period, and that such a beautifully shaped dragon was unique. It was a priceless treasure, a national treasure among national treasures, a treasure among important treasures. Perhaps, it was a leaf that covered one's eyes.
"
Hearing Ye Fan's explanation, Mr. Lei also let out a long sigh. Unexpectedly, a top-level treasure appraiser fell into Ye Fan's trap because he was just too knowledgeable.
It has to be said that Ye Fan's thoughts were too deep. He designed everything to deal with Mr. Wu's character and did not give Mr. Wu any chance to resist.
But he was only twenty years old, so his thoughts were too heavy.
Ye Fan saw Mr. Lei's reaction, but he didn't explain much. Mr. Lei had already guessed before, so let the old man continue to guess.
"For the three objects in my hand, I also ask Mr. Lei to issue an appraisal certificate. These objects will be my capital against the Feng family."
Looking up at Mr. Feng, Ye Fan said calmly.
Mr. Lei had no objections to this. The fakes that Ye Fan had used to compete with Feng Xiao were indeed of very high quality. It was no exaggeration to call them treasures.
Now, Ye Fan has proven to everyone that those are not fakes, so it is not difficult to issue an appraisal certificate in the name of the Antiques Association.
Immediately, Mr. Lei contacted his subordinates, and soon, three identification certificates were placed in front of Ye Fan.
With these three identification certificates, Ye Fan could finally compete with the Feng family in an open and fair manner.
