Chapter 269 Picking up the leak? Wang Banxian: That's a fake
"Second uncle, Brother Jiang is very kind to the Wang family. If it weren't for Brother Jiang's care, the Wang family would have been bankrupted by the Ling family."
Seeing that Wang Banxian was so guarded against Jiang Sheng, Wang Manjin persuaded him: "For the sake of the Wang family, take him with you..."
"Stop talking nonsense, if you don't want to learn from me, then I will go to Taobao myself."
Wang Banxian interrupted Wang Manjin impatiently and turned around to leave without hesitation.
"I'm sorry, my second uncle lives abroad all year round and doesn't understand the ways of the world here."
Wang Manjin looked at Jiang Sheng and Xia Jiancai apologetically, and rubbed his hands awkwardly: "I apologize to you on his behalf, I..."
"Brother Wang, there is no need to be embarrassed, just go and accompany your second uncle!"
Jiang Sheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "The friendship between us will last for a long time and will not last overnight."
"Thank you for your understanding, Brother Jiang. Then I will go and accompany him first."
Wang Manjin gratefully handed over to Jiang Sheng and quickly chased after Wang Banxian.
"Damn it, that guy is so arrogant, he really thinks he's someone!"
After the Wang family left, Xia Jiancai cursed unhappily.
"Brother Xia, don't worry!"
Jiang Sheng was open-minded and understood: "Since Wang Banxian can find good things every time in the strange market, it means that he is indeed capable. People who are capable often have a bad temper."
"And what they said is right. If you take us with you, if you find something good, will we still have to share it with you?"
"Tch! Who would care about the things he discovered? Typical philistine thoughts are not enough to keep company with."
"I am also an expert in antiques. I don't even need him to find treasures."
As the young master of the Xia family, a wealthy family in the provincial capital, Xia Jiancai really didn't like what Wang Banxian called Taobao.
This was also the reason why he didn't bother to come to the ghost market before.
"Don't worry about these unnecessary things, let's go shopping!"
Jiang Sheng patted Xia Jiancai on the shoulder, then entered the venue and wandered around with interest.
Just like what Xia Jiancai introduced at the beginning.
Although there is a dazzling array of products in the strange market, many things are invisible, such as some cultural relics and antiques stolen from ancient tombs or valuable items stolen from improper sources.
There are still many things that cannot be put on the market, such as some strange and unknown unknown or broken items that cannot be priced at all.
Jiang Sheng was not interested in antique calligraphy and painting to begin with. He only cared about medicinal materials or things that could cause the Dragon Mark Ring to react.
It's a pity that although there are many kinds of medicinal materials in Gui Shi, the quality is not satisfactory.
Jiang Sheng turned around and found that the best medicinal materials he had ever seen were only a few decades old. Such medicinal materials were of little significance to him now and were not worth buying at all.
Jiang Sheng is currently stuck at the peak of the eighth level of Qi refining, and only medicinal materials that are more than a hundred years old can help him.
"Brother Jiang, don't have too much hope."
Seeing that Jiang Sheng was a little disappointed, Xia Jiancai comforted him: "This strange market is full of leftover items from auctions. The truly valuable items have been selected by the organizers for the auction."
"Especially for medicinal materials, anyone with a little bit of discernment can tell whether the medicinal materials are good or bad, so the quality of what is left now is worrying."
"Hey! That's the truth."
Jiang Sheng sighed helplessly: "I found that the antique calligraphy and paintings, jades, porcelain, etc. here have the possibility of being picked up, but there is no chance of picking up the medicinal materials. There is not even a medicinal plant that is more than a hundred years old."
"Are you sure it's possible that other things were missed?"
Hearing this, Xia Jiancai's eyes lit up: "Brother Jiang, can you give me some pointers to open my eyes?"
"Did you see that picture of spring flowers in Toyama?"
Jiang Sheng pointed to an ink painting hanging on a calligraphy and painting stall not far away with interest.
"Saw it!"
Xia Jiancai nodded repeatedly and pulled Jiang Sheng towards the vendor: "Is this painting a good thing?"
"Just buy it!"
Jiang Sheng responded boredly that he was not interested in these things at all.
"I'll look into it."
Xia Jiancai immediately stepped forward and studied the calligraphy and paintings carefully, but he did not understand these at all and could not understand them at all.
"This young master is an expert at first glance. My painting of Spring Flowers in Rich Mountains is an authentic work by Lu Zhenyuan, a famous painter from the Tang Dynasty, and is priceless."
The vendor with a goatee stepped forward enthusiastically and introduced in a low voice: "To be honest with this young master, this painting was taken out of an ancient tomb of the Tang Dynasty by a local rat some time ago. If it had not come from a shady way and was not exposed to light, it would definitely
It could fetch a good price at auction.”
"I think the young master has a connection with this painting. I am willing to sell it to you for four million. You see..."
"Stop lying to people!"
Just when Xia Jiancai was fooled by the goatee and was about to buy it, Wang Manjin, who was holding a bunch of things, suddenly jumped out: "Young Master Xia, my second uncle said that this painting is a fake. You must not be deceived."
"Fake?"
Xia Jiancai was stunned for a moment and looked at Jiang Sheng doubtfully. This was the painting Jiang Sheng asked him to buy. Did Jiang Sheng make a mistake?
Jiang Sheng said nothing and turned to look at the old god Wang Banxian.
"Brother Jiang, Brother Xia, there is no need to doubt that my second uncle has very good eyesight."
Wang Manjin proudly showed off several antiques in his arms: "These are the treasures my second uncle bought from Taobao. Any one of them can make millions. What he said is absolutely correct."
"What do you mean it's not wrong? Why does he say my words are fake?"
After hearing this, Goatee quit his job, which was obviously cutting off his wealth!
"Boss, I am not these two novices, I will be fooled by you so easily."
Wang Banxian walked slowly to the painting with his hands behind his back, and said firmly: "This painting paper is obviously the Xuande paper from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which was aged using special techniques!"
"No matter how good the famous Tang Dynasty artist Lu Zhenyuan was, he couldn't have used paper from the Ming and Qing Dynasties to paint, right?"
"this……"
The merchant was dumbfounded. He didn't expect to meet an expert.
"Although this half-immortal king is arrogant, he does have some abilities."
Jiang Sheng secretly admired that this half-immortal king still had some real talents!
"Also, the signature and seal of this painting are all by Lu Zhenyuan, but there are traces of ink diffusion on the edges of all the prints, which shows that the signature and seal were copied and imitated by someone with a pen."
Wang Banxian pointed to a corner of the painting and said firmly: "To put it bluntly, this painting is not authentic at all, but a fake."
"This, this, this..."
Goatee was speechless and rubbed his hands in embarrassment: "I didn't expect the boss to have such a discerning eye. It's just that I can't see the mountains."
Immediately, Goatee looked at Xia Jiancai: "Although this painting is not authentic, it is still an object from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Since you like it, sir, then you can make an offer and I promise not to bargain."
"Tch! Although it is something from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is a plagiarized and imitated fake after all. This kind of thing is worthless."
Wang Banxian raised his head and looked at Xia Jiancai seriously: "I advise you not to buy this painting, otherwise you will be taken advantage of."
Xia Jiancai frowned slightly, then looked at Jiang Sheng: "Brother Jiang, why don't you forget it!"
"Are you sure you don't want to buy this painting?" Jiang Sheng's mouth turned up slightly.
"Jiang Sheng is asking me whether I believe him or not?"
Hearing this, Xia Jiancai was stunned for a moment and secretly thought: "Jiang Sheng doesn't seem like the kind of person who makes trouble out of nothing. Could it be that there is another mystery to this painting?"
"But Wang Banxian pointed out that this painting is a fake, and the boss also admitted it. What is Jiang Sheng so excited about?"
