Chapter 31: Poison Ring
"Colorful blue and white bottle?" Lin Tianchu's eyes are full of strong self-confidence. He knows antiques. Although he only understands the Song Dynasty, this is enough.
"Does the little brother have any different opinions?" Ling Yiping has been buying and selling antiques for a long time, and his words are also a little old-fashioned. "Little brother, you might as well talk about it."
"First of all, it is well known that the colorful blue and white bottle is a kind of porcelain made from five different skills and created through five prefaces. Unfortunately, in order to keep it secret, it is unknown what these five skills are."
"Hmm." Ling Yiping nodded, "Continue."
"The colorful blue and white bottle is colorful, and the colorful lotus represents the five flavors of the world, and the flower pedicles are in the same way. Am I right?"
Lin Tianchu asked, only because Ling Yiping in front of him gave him a feeling of facing a martial arts master, but his major was not martial arts, but antique appreciation.
"That's right!" Ling Yiping took the fragment from the table and looked at it carefully.
"But please take a look at the degree of the flower pedicles." Lin Tianchu prompted, and Ling Yiping also changed his face at this time.
Lin Tianchu always felt a little strange when he looked at Ling Yiping's face, but for a moment, he couldn't say where it was strange. He continued to say, "Because the craftsmanship of folk workshops is limited, and the ancient art is relatively backward, there must be a gap as big as a meter in the pedicles, but look at the flowers above. Di, Xiangdi has the benefits. It can be said to be perfect. It's too perfect.
"So, I dare to assert that this vase is a wild goose!"
Lin Tianchu finally made a conclusion, and he was right. The handicrafts produced with modern technology are indeed better than those produced in ancient times, but antiques are the witness of history. What really appreciates antiques is not the level of his craftsmanship, but the history of his sinking.
Ling Yiping smiled strangely again and suddenly applauded: "I have to say that there are talented people in the country, and the little brother has a unique vision. I deeply admire it!"
"The old gentleman is flattered." Lin Tianchu answered, and then took a step back.
"In fact, this vase is the only miscalculation in Ling's life. After buying it, he knew it was a wild geese product. Although it was not worth 500,000 yuan, it was also worth 5,000 yuan." Ling Yiping laughed at himself and said, "And today, Mr. Qian has brought treasures, and this treasure is very valuable. I just want to use this wild goose product to test Xiaotong's vision and see if you are qualified to auction this collection on behalf."
"So it is." Mu Xuetong finally understood why Ling Yiping said the price carelessly.
"I can't believe that you Mu's ancient talents are full of talents. I don't think there will be many people who have unique vision like little brothers, right?" Ling Yiping appreciates Lin Tianchu's vision, so he also looks a little higher on Mu's ancient industry.
Mu Xuetong really didn't know that Lin Tianchu knew something about antiques before today, and now she is obviously shocked.
"Okay, let's not talk about this." Ban Yiping turned to Qian Hui with a smile, "What do you think, Mr. Qian?"
"Very good, I believe that my ring will be auctioned at a suitable price!"
Qian Hui said with a smile, but this made Ling Yiping a little unhappy. Money is only used to measure the market price of an antique and does not represent his historical value. But Qian Hui's collection is too precious, so he didn't say anything.
"Come on, look at my collection." Qian Hui smiled, took out a ring box directly from his arms, and said, "Do you know? Mr. Qiao Dongsheng is willing to buy my ring for 20 million yuan. I heard that he is going to propose to Miss Duanmu of Hongtu Group.
Hearing Qian Hui's words, Lin Tianchu was suddenly shocked. At this time, Qian Hui had opened the ring box. As soon as he opened the ring box, he saw a diamond ring inside.
"Legend has it that this ring is called Tears of Rose, which is a treasure given to the Empress Dowager Cixi by the French leader in the Qing Dynasty." Qian Hui said with a smile.
"Wow!" As soon as Mu Xuetong saw the tears of roses, her eyes immediately flashed. She thought that there was a girl in the world who would not be moved by the shining diamond ring?
"Little brother, come and enjoy it, too."
After Ling Yiping's appraisal, he can know that the ring is real, and he feels that Lin Tianchu is very suitable for him, so he wants Lin Tianchu to see it, so that he can train him to become a connoisseur, and there is no need to continue the dangerous job of being a bodyguard.
"Oh, okay." Lin Tianchu answered, and then stepped forward to appreciate it. He really wanted to know what the ring Qiao Dongsheng planned to use to propose to Duan Mujiyue came from.
Lin Tianchu saw that the diamond was actually a black diamond, and the diamond was cut like a Shirley, which really looked like a drop of tears.
The rose flower carved with platinum next to the black diamond is vivid, which matches the name of the rose tears very well.
"Little brother, what's your opinion?" Ling Yiping asked.
"I don't understand!" Lin Tianchu is not a person who likes to pretend. He thinks that he specializes in art. If he doesn't understand it, he doesn't understand it. There is nothing to hide.
Ling Yiping appreciated Lin Tianchu more, because the young man became more and more suitable for him. Therefore, Ling Yiping slowly began to speak. He deliberately spoke very slowly, and even said something that had nothing to do with the ring clearly.
When he heard that the French consul had a holiday with the Empress Dowager Cixi, Lin Tianchu's face suddenly changed and boldly said his hypothesis: "I don't think this ring can be sold."
"Why?" Ling Yiping and Qian Hui have changed color one after another. Maybe they all grew up in peacetime, so they didn't know the horror of the struggle of the superiors in ancient times.
Eight hundred years ago, Lin Tianchu saw a lot. He took a deep look at the tears of roses. "I think it must have been unkind that the French consul sent this ring to the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the ring is black. I think there may be poison hidden in him!"
"Vicious poison?" Qian Hui was shocked and thought about it, "Yes, since my grandfather got this ring and let my grandmother take care of it for less than a year, my grandmother has died."
"This ring has been passed down from my family for three generations. Eight women have worn it in the third generation, and these eight women will not live for more than a year after wearing the ring. I think what you said is true."
"Uh?" Mu Xuetong screamed and looked at Lin Tianchu at the same time. There was a little more admiration on his face. This man's heart was so thin that he could not even find the secret for three generations. That is to say, he has made contributions again.
"Then how should we deal with this ring?" Qian Hui asked, but he had no idea.
"Send it to the test. If it is really poisonous as the little brother said, it will be destroyed as soon as possible!" Ling Yiping said hurriedly.
"All right." Qian Hui answered, but he actually thought to himself, how can such an expensive ring be destroyed? Tomorrow, no, I will go to Qiao Dongsheng today to sell the ring to him.
Qian Hui is a person who knows the law. Naturally, he knows that if he found that the ring is really poisonous after the test results, he will break the law if he sells it again, so he intends to hide this fact and sell the ring directly to Qiao Dongsheng. As for whether he will lose money, he doesn't care about it.
What he wants most is to let this ring that eight people can't live long after wearing it as soon as possible. Just don't leave the curse of this ring in his Qian family.
