The world of film and television starts from a young age.

Chapter 767
Seeing Li Ruiyang's smiling and contented look, Zhou Chen thought about it.

He can be sure that Li Ruiyang definitely regards these two items as genuine ones, but in fact, these two items are fake handicrafts, and the years are not long.

Although counterfeiters have some skills, they are also limited. It is okay to deceive beginners, but if you meet someone who is really knowledgeable and experienced, if you observe carefully, you can still see the problem.

But Li Ruiyang obviously didn't see it, which also proved a point from the side, Li Ruiyang's level of antique identification can only be said to be average, um, average.

If it was a stranger, or someone with a particularly close relationship, Zhou Chen would definitely say it directly.

It's just that Li Ruiyang is different. He is the father of Zhou Chen's girlfriend. The relationship between the two is not that close, but their identities are still there, and they need to be respected.

So when he speaks, he must pay special attention.

"Uncle, then I'll talk about it. If I'm wrong, please don't take offense."

Li Ruiyang smiled and said, "Say it, just say it, let me see your ability."

Maybe it was because he saw that they had common hobbies, so his satisfaction with Zhou Chen increased a bit, but he didn't expect Zhou Chen to say anything at all.

Only then did Zhou Chen nod, and then picked up the snuff bottle.

"Uncle, I think there is something wrong with this snuff bottle."

"Ok?"

Li Ruiyang, who was still smiling, suddenly changed his expression when he heard Zhou Chen's words, and his smile was restrained.

In the antique business, if you say something is wrong, it is almost like saying that this thing is fake.

Although he didn't think what Zhou Chen said was right, he still felt uncomfortable. After all, it was half-sold and half-gifted to him by someone else. He didn't pay for it, but gave him a favor.

"Where is the problem?"

Li Ruiyang approached Zhou Chen, took the snuff bottle from Zhou Chen, and looked at it carefully.

Zhou Chen pointed to a spot on the waist of the snuff bottle: "Uncle, look here, is the color slightly different from the other spots?"

The business of antiques relies on eyesight and experience. Zhou Chen's eyesight has already reached the level of perfection after decades of tempering under the Zhengyangmen, so he can quickly see the difference.

Li Ruiyang looked at the position Zhou Chen was pointing at, opened his eyes wide, looked at it carefully, then compared it with other places, and finally hesitated.

"Is it different? It seems to be a little different."

Li Ruiyang was really not sure. If Zhou Chen hadn't pointed it out, he would have felt the same, but after Zhou Chen pointed it out, he took a closer look and seemed to have found something different, but he was not sure.

Zhou Chen saw that Li Ruiyang hadn't noticed it yet, so he pointed to the position below the bottle mouth.

"Uncle, look here again, does this line feel a little broken?"

Li Ruiyang looked again, then picked up the magnifying glass on the table, and the next moment, his expression changed.

What Zhou Chen said was right, it was indeed a bit broken, but if Zhou Chen hadn't pointed it out and he looked with a magnifying glass, he wouldn't have seen the problem at all.

Now Zhou Chen didn't need to say anything, he had already realized that there might be something really wrong with this snuff bottle.

When he thought that this snuff bottle was given to him by a friend who had been with him for a long time, he could no longer maintain a calm mood. It was also possible that the other party could give him a fake product, whether it was something that was traded in the past...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help being furious, but thinking that Zhou Chen was still here, he could only calm down.

But soon a question lingered in his mind. He played with it for so long, but he didn't find the problem.

And Zhou Chen didn't use a magnifying glass, and he only got started for a few minutes, how did he find the problem so quickly?
"Xiao Zhou, do you see anything wrong with this incense burner?"

He still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, one of which might be a friend's eye, but if there were problems with both, it could almost be concluded that he had been tricked.

Zhou Chen didn't know what Li Ruiyang was thinking, but he didn't mean to hide it from Li Ruiyang.

"This incense burner is not right either, look here, here, here..."

Li Ruiyang carefully looked at the position of Zhou Chen's fingers, and after a while, he coughed dryly: "Well, Xiao Zhou, it seems that you still have some eyesight, okay, very good."

The corner of Zhou Chen's mouth twitched, Uncle, can you stop pretending to be so fake?I'm afraid you didn't see any of the three places I mentioned.

However, he could also see that the future old man's eyesight was not even considered a beginner, but he still felt that his level was good, no wonder others would find him.

Those who sell handicrafts can't be fooled by those who are really capable, and they can't be fooled by laymen, so most of them are deceived by people like Li Ruiyang, who are obviously not very good, but still like people, who told you Vegetables.

Li Ruiyang looked at the censer in his hand and the snuff bottle on the coffee table, and his heart couldn't stop his anger.

The next time I go back to Jinling City, I must break the leg of the guy who dared to lie to him, because he took more than these two things from that person.

"Xiao Zhou, I really didn't realize that you really have a certain amount of research on antiques. Come, follow me to the study. I have a lot of things there. I'll test you to see if you can learn from so many things. Find the real good stuff."

"Okay, then I will give you some pointers."

Zhou Chen has already seen Li Ruiyang's level. The reason why he said such a thing was simply to ask himself to help him take a look at his collection, but he didn't want to lose face.

"Come."

Zhou Chen followed Li Ruiyang into his study room. The study room is not big, only about ten square meters. The decoration is not bad. There are several rows of bookshelves, but only a small part is for books, and the other places are just some. Curio items, or just empty.

"Xiao Zhou, look, the items here are all from my collection, there are more than 40 items, but they were all transported from the city after I was transferred here."

Li Ruiyang just wanted to say that these are good things, but when he thought of the two fakes just now, his confidence immediately disappeared.

"The objects here are real and some are fake. It's time to test your eyesight."

Hearing Li Ruiyang's uneasy showing off, Zhou Chen secretly laughed in his heart. It seems that his future father-in-law has already lost his confidence.

"Uncle Li, this shouldn't be all your collection, right?" Zhou Chen didn't pay attention immediately, but asked first.

Li Ruiyang nodded and said: "Well, this is only part of it. I still have a part of the collection at my home in Jinling City. You can look here first. When you have time to go to Jinling later, I will take you to see the good things in my home. "

"Uncle Li, then I will take it seriously. You must also know that I like antiques."

"Haha, you are right. Those of us who like old things like to see good things the most. Xiao Zhou, take a look at my things first."

"Got it."

Zhou Chen started to look at the bookshelf in front of him, and the first thing he looked at was a piece of porcelain.

He watched very slowly, but Li Ruiyang was not in a hurry at all. He watched with Zhou Chen for a while, then sat down and looked at Zhou Chen Jianbao with a smile on his face.

When Zhou Chen picked up the seventh item, Li Luo's voice came from outside the door, saying that the meal was ready and let them go out to eat.

After Zhou Chen heard it, he put down the things in his hand, and asked Li Ruiyang: "Uncle Li, shall we watch it after dinner?"

But Li Ruiyang said: "I see you have seen a few pieces just now, how is it, can you see it?"

Zhou Chen didn't answer directly: "The time is a bit rushed, I can't judge, should I discuss it with you after dinner?"

"Alright."

Li Ruiyang stood up, seemingly fine, but his heart sank.

After all, he is a person who can be a boss, and he still has the ability to read words and deeds. Zhou Chen didn't seem to answer, but in fact he didn't answer in the affirmative, and the meaning is self-evident.

Although he still felt that Zhou Chen was young and his vision might not be accurate, but he was naturally not very happy when someone thought that there was something wrong with his collection.

"Let's go, let's eat first."

Today's dinner is very rich, a table full.

Just as Li Luo put the wine brought by Zhou Chen on the table, Li Ruiyang immediately reached out to stop it.

"Girl, Xiao Zhou and I will stop drinking tonight. After dinner, we have to go to the study to look at my collection."

Li Ruiyang's words surprised Li Luo and Zhu Xiuqin, and Zhu Xiuqin asked, "Xiao Zhou, do you understand this too?"

Zhou Chen said modestly: "I don't really understand, just know a little bit."

Zhu Xiuqin shook her head and said, "I really don't understand you guys. What's so good about collecting those things? It's better to buy a house to appreciate it than to spend so much money on it."

Li Ruiyang disagreed and said: "What do you know, compared to appreciation space, antiques have greater potential than houses. The older the objects, the more precious they are. More importantly, they are inherited from our ancestors. , It’s inheritance, it’s culture, even if I tell you, you don’t understand.”

"Yes, yes, I don't understand, but you understand, okay."

"Eat, eat."

Li Ruiyang didn't say much on this issue. He had spent a lot of money to buy those collections over the years. As his wife, Zhu Xiuqin had opinions, which was perfectly normal.

That is to say, they only have one daughter. If they had a son, he might not be able to buy collections as he wished.

If there is no alcohol at the dinner table, the eating speed will naturally be much faster. The meal at seven o'clock will end around 07:30.

As soon as he put down his chopsticks, Li Ruiyang dragged Zhou Chen into the study. He didn't even care about his daughter at this time.

Zhu Xiuqin, who was watching this scene, shook her head again and again, and said to Li Luo: "Your dad is just a hobby. Every time he talks about antique calligraphy and painting, he is more active than working to make money. But how could Xiao Zhou be like your dad? Interested in these things, I remember that he seems to be from a very ordinary family, right?"

She has noticed Li Ruiyang's purchases of antiques over the years. She doesn't know how much she spent, but she knows that it is not a small amount.

That's why she wondered how a young man from an ordinary working family like Zhou Chen could have the same interests and hobbies as her husband. It was very difficult to have no money in that line of work.

Li Luo shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but he is really knowledgeable and smart, probably because of his hobby."

Although she and Zhou Chen have not been boyfriend and girlfriend for a long time, she can still find that Zhou Chen is different from many contacts.

Zhu Xiuqin said: "Xiao Zhou is really a good kid. He looks very stable and mature. I heard that he is also developing his career now. Luo Luo, you have to take care of it."

"Got it, Mom."

Perhaps because of the relationship, Li Luo is obviously much more lively than before, and communicates with his parents a lot more. This is also the aspect that makes Li Ruiyang and Zhu Xiuqin the happiest.

In the study, Zhou Chen started to "Appraise Treasures" again, but after looking around, he felt very complicated, and he didn't know whether he should tell the truth.

What Li Ruiyang said was right, there are indeed some real objects and some fake ones, but the key point is that there are far more fake ones than real ones.

By the time Zhou Chen finished watching it, it was past nine o'clock, but Li Ruiyang was still in high spirits.

"How about it, Xiao Zhou, how about my collections."

Zhou Chen said: "Very good, it can be seen that you collected it with your heart, Uncle Li."

Li Ruiyang said impatiently: "Okay, don't be sloppy, just tell me your own opinion, which of my collections are genuine and which have problems?"

Zhou Chen said brightly: "Uncle Li, I don't dare to say it casually. After all, I'm not a professional in this area. If I make a mistake, it's not good."

"You boy, if you tell me, just say it, what else can I say about you? Hurry up." Li Ruiyang urged.

Seeing that Li Ruiyang insisted on listening to his own opinion, Zhou Chen could only tell the truth.

Five minutes later, when Zhou Chen finished speaking his opinion, Li Ruiyang was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

"Uncle Li, Uncle Li..."

Li Ruiyang was awakened by Zhou Chen's call. He looked at the objects in his room with a very complicated expression, and at the same time looked at Zhou Chen with very complicated eyes.

The result that Zhou Chen told him was really hard for him to accept, his first reaction was that Zhou Chen was playing with him.

But seeing Zhou Chen's solemn expression, coupled with the identities of both parties, he felt that Zhou Chen didn't need to lie to him.

Then there are only two possibilities left, one is that Zhou Chen's level is limited, and his words cannot be fully believed; the other is that everything Zhou Chen said is true.

He naturally tended to the first one, but for some reason, he always had a very uneasy feeling in his heart.

Zhou Chen talked to Li Luo for a while, then said goodbye to Li Ruiyang and Zhu Xiuqin and left. When he left, Li Ruiyang was still in a daze.

Li Luo went downstairs with Zhou Chen, and asked very curiously: "What did you say to my dad, why do I feel that he is not in a good state?"

Zhou Chen replied: "I just looked at your father's collections and expressed some of my own views. Maybe our views are different, so he was a little fascinated."

"Oh."

Zhou Chen didn't go back immediately, but walked arm in arm with Li Luo, and started strolling around the neighborhood.

"Li Luo, my family already knows that we are in a relationship, and they all want to meet you. Are you willing to go back with me and meet my family?"

Hearing this, Li Luo's body visibly froze. She was a little socially afraid, let alone going to meet her boyfriend's parents.

To tell the truth, she wanted to go, but when she thought about going to see Zhou Chen's parents, she was unconsciously nervous and scared.

"Can I wait a few days before answering you?"

Zhou Chen said empathetically: "Of course, you can discuss it with your uncles and aunts when you go back, and ask them to advise you. I respect you."

He understood Li Luo's character, so he was not surprised at Li Luo's reaction.

In fact, he didn't really want to take Li Luo to meet his parents so early. After all, the relationship between the two of them was not long. He felt that he could enlighten Li Luo more, and bring her back to meet her parents when she was more excited. most.
