Qu Weichen specially called to invite people out, of course not for dinner.

The Chinese dinner table culture has a long history, and many things are used to being discussed on this occasion.But I don't know whether it was the wrong place or the atmosphere was too harmonious. In short, the wine was not even opened in the end, and everyone was immersed in eating hard, indulging in the process of enjoying the food.At the same time, Qu Weichen can also see that the two people on the opposite side are sticky. You pick up a chopstick for her, "This is delicious", and she picks up a chopstick for you, "Try this".

It's not that the old society couldn't have enough to eat, and even a bite of food had to be shared, tsk.

But I don't know why, but I feel very good-looking, very... After dinner, I ate three bowls without knowing it, and I almost couldn't stand up.

Although he claims to be a connoisseur of eating, drinking, and having fun, in the first 20 years of his life, every time Qu Weichen went out to play with friends, the emphasis was on the last four words, or the middle two words.You can afford to drink and have fun, but who cares if you are full and have fun?

God knows that since he entered puberty, he hasn't had the experience of feeding himself.

But the feeling of fullness brings an indescribable satisfaction.Qu Weichen slumped on the chair, rubbed his stomach with his hands, narrowed his eyes and said, "Looking for a place to sit?"

The main reason is that this is a restaurant, and the place is not big. It is said to be a private room, but in fact it is just an area divided by various shelters and partitions during decoration. It is not a real independent private room, and it is not suitable for talking.Now that the meal is over, the waiter can see it occasionally when passing by, so it's not good to stay here any longer.

Shen Zhiqi was very interested in this proposal, thought for a while, and asked him, "By the way, didn't you say that you came to go boating with your friends? Where are you?"

"Going back." Qu Weichen's face was indifferent, it was obvious that those so-called 'friends' were not very close.

"Then let's go boating too." Shen Zhiqi glanced outside the restaurant, "It just so happens that this place is by the river, so it's convenient." Without waiting for Qu Weichen to agree, he raised his hand and called the waiter over, asking her where to go by boat where.

These people who live by the river are familiar with each other, and the cruise and meals of the guests are often "package sales" - those who take the boat to play at the end of the day want to eat, and some want to go boating on the river after the meal.There are even food boats on the river, which specialize in selling all kinds of river fish, the kind that are fished and killed from the river.However, reservations are usually required, and they came in a hurry and couldn't catch up.

The waiter quickly called the boat, and the three of them waited at the door for a few minutes before a painting boat drove over.

The city is densely covered with lakes, criss-crossing like a net. It is said that in ancient times, the gates of people on the riverside did not open to the market, but to the riverside. Boats were tied to the gates of every house as a means of transportation for travel. It is a real "water city" that can run all over the city.

Although it is no longer such a grand occasion, there are still boats at the entrances of these shops on the riverside.The three stepped onto the boat on thick wooden boards, and the boatman served drinks and snacks, then returned to the stern to steer the boat, leaving all the space in the cabin for them.

Qu Weichen leaned back on the padded seat and sighed comfortably.

Shen Zhiqi brought Tang Ying a cup of tea, and brought one himself, before asking him, "What's the matter, can we talk about it now?"

"Have you brought my bottle?" Qu Weichen asked, "My grandpa has urged you many times."

"It's here, do you want to inspect the goods?" Shen Zhiqi asked.

That was of course unnecessary. Qu Weichen had witnessed Tang Ying's entire restoration process in the live broadcast room, so he naturally had nothing to worry about.Things must be on the car, there is no need to move up and down the trouble.Qu Weichen quickly shook his head and said, "No need." After a pause, he said again, "I don't know what the rules are on Teacher Tang's side?"

The restoration of antiques like this is naturally expensive.The Qu family spent a lot of effort to repair these two bottles, of course Qu Weichen knew the price standard in the industry.But Tang Ying's craftsmanship has almost been lost. It can be said that it is more precious than antiques, so it is difficult to measure it by ordinary standards.

Tang Ying didn't speak, but Shen Zhiqi had a smile on his face, "Didn't you treat the guests just now?"

What's more, there are many rewards in the live broadcast room.

Qu Weichen was taken aback for a moment, apparently he didn't expect her to say that, and subconsciously turned to look at Tang Ying.

——Obviously, although until now she has basically never spoken to him except to say hello, but First Young Master Qu has seen through everything, and it is very clear who is in charge between the two.

Seeing that Tang Ying also nodded, he breathed a sigh of relief.Of course, a meal is not worth Tang Ying's own hands, which means asking him to owe a favor.

Although a little surprised, Qu Weichen readily accepted.

These days, although favor debts are difficult to repay, some people's favors are really not eligible to be owed by just anyone.As the so-called human relationship, between the debt and the repayment, the relationship between each other will naturally become closer. How can money be compared with money?

"All right." He nodded with a smile, "It's been a big favor to me, if you have anything to do in the future, just speak up."

Shen Zhiqi's attitude was open, and it was hard for him to hide it. After he finished speaking, he scratched his head and said, "I invite you to come out today. In fact, I still have something to trouble you. I owe you a favor just now, and I don't even bother you." Know how to speak."

After finishing speaking, Shen Zhiqi and Tang Ying both looked up at him, and they didn't mean to ask at all, so they could only bite the bullet and continue, "This time it's not for my personal affairs, I was also entrusted by others to ask Mr. Tang a question. ..."

He straightened the expression on his face, and he looked serious, "You can repair the old ones, but I wonder if you can imitate ancient porcelain?"

Tang Ying and Shen Zhiqi looked at each other, and their expressions changed slightly.

Restoring the old as the old is a saying in the cultural relics and antiques restoration industry. Try to restore the cultural relics as they are, and keep the information and traces on them as much as possible.Because for these ancient relics, in addition to their own value, what is more important is the historical value they carry.Therefore, when repairing, the same or similar materials will be used as much as possible.

In this way, everyone who is proficient in restoration of cultural relics can of course also be a master of counterfeiting.

When Qu Weichen asked this question, he was obviously not asking whether Tang Ying could imitate ancient porcelain, but whether she could copy an existing porcelain that was exactly the same.

The domestic antique market is full of fakes, and the interest chain behind it is quite amazing.Qu Weichen originally looked like a lawless second generation, so the two couldn't help but have doubts about him: the big brother asked this, maybe he wanted to get into this muddy water?

This is really... fatal.

"What do you want to do?" Shen Zhiqi thought for a while and asked directly.

Qu Weichen knew what they had misunderstood at a glance, and quickly said, "It's not what you think!"

"Isn't it what we thought? Didn't you want Tangtang to copy a piece of porcelain? Or did you copy this piece of porcelain and didn't plan to sell it?" Shen Zhiqi sneered.

Qu Weichen: "..." It was obvious that things were not what they thought, but what happened to Shen Zhiqi's reasoning that made sense?This is really, I can't even speak clearly.

He was so frightened that he didn't dare to paralyze Ge You, sat upright, and his face became serious, "Really, it's not a personal matter, and it's definitely not a bad thing to commit crimes." He said with a bit of confusion on his face, " But this matter, it can't be said casually, if Teacher Tang can do it, let's talk about the next one, if not, you can just pretend that I didn't say anything today."

Shen Zhiqi was still frowning, but Tang Ying nodded and said, "Yes."

When Qu Weichen got excited, he almost rushed over to shake her hand. Fortunately, when he got up, he saw Shen Zhiqi who was sitting next to her and looked at her eagerly. His half-lifted buttocks immediately fell down again.

There was still a smile on his face, "As expected of Teacher Tang, I knew there was no problem. I couldn't explain it clearly at the moment, don't you mind if I call someone over? I wanted to introduce you to each other, and she started this matter .”

"Call it." Shen Zhiqi agreed.

The other party was obviously waiting nearby, and only ten minutes after answering the phone, he came over in a small boat.

If the train of thought does not go astray, considering Qu Weichen's identity, Shen Zhiqi can also guess that most of the relevant departments have some actions that require their cooperation.But she never expected that the one who came would be a white-collar beauty with long legs in a suit, gold-rimmed glasses and high-heeled shoes.

With that all-over aura, Shen Zhiqi almost thought that he saw the Great Demon King Shen Zhijun, and the villain in his heart couldn't help trembling.

She has never been able to deal with people with this temperament!

Fortunately, the person sitting next to her seems to be the nemesis of this kind of person.When the visitor saw Tang Ying, surprise flashed in his eyes, and his voice softened several degrees immediately. He greeted them with a smile, and introduced himself as Ji Yuxin, who runs an auction house under his name.

As for what happened this time, it was indeed not what they had thought before.

Ji Yuxin's background is similar to Qu Weichen's, but her career is much more successful than Qu Weichen's. According to her own statement, she is quite famous in the antique industry.

People of their background are naturally very sensitive to illegal reselling of antiques, especially reselling overseas. Recently, Ji Yuxin received news that a private auction will be held on the high seas.Most of the auction items that appear here are newly unearthed, and a small number of handed down items are not within the scope of national registration.

The country naturally does not want this kind of auction to exist, and it would be best if the hundreds of carefully selected items could be taken back.

So a special operation was launched for this auction.

Ji Yuxin's duty is to find a way to get tickets to the auction, sneak in as an insider, and provide information to the outside operatives.And her method is to provide a piece of auction, which must be rare and unhanded down, and it is best not even heard of by outsiders.

"We have found the lot." Ji Yuxin said, picked up the box at her feet, put it on the table, and opened it with a serious expression.

Inside the box is a blue and white porcelain vase with a round mouth and a big belly, and the pattern on the body is "Chen Tuan lying high".Seeing this, Tang Ying subconsciously blurted out, "Yuan Qinghua?" But she denied it immediately, "No, this should be... Song Qinghua!"

In 2005, a Yuan blue-and-white Guiguzi downhill picture jar was sold at Christie's auction in London for a sky-high price of 2.3 million yuan, which opened the legendary era of Yuan blue-and-white porcelain in the porcelain market.

But this porcelain vase has simple and rough lines, dark blue and white hair, thick carcass, and full shape, which has many characteristics of Yuan blue and white.But if you observe carefully, you will find that the composition is delicate, the calligraphy is elegant, and the overall shape and decoration are not the same as those popular in the Yuan Dynasty, so Tang Ying quickly revised his judgment.

Song Qinghua used local cobalt in Zhejiang, and the firing process was immature, so the quality of the finished product was not high, and it soon went into decline and was replaced by plain porcelain.Because of this, the works that have been handed down are even rarer than Yuan blue and white, let alone such high-quality official kiln works?

Ji Yuxin nodded with a smile when she heard the words, reached out and took out the bottle, and showed them the inscription on the bottom of the bottle.

"Do you know the Taoist emperor?" Ji Yuxin said, "Song Huizong respected Taoism and favored Taoist priests, and the pattern on this porcelain vase is a classic Taoist theme like 'Chen Tuan Gaowo', which seems to fit the emperor's mind very well. "

In history, there were two very famous emperors who loved calligraphy, painting, antiques and other elegant arts. One was Song Huizong and the other was Qianlong.But the former's aesthetic level, like the fourth master's, can beat Qianlong by a dozen streets and kill several artists in seconds.

Because of the influence of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, Song porcelain was mostly plain porcelain, which was famous for its superb aesthetic level.There is a legend related to the famous "rain after the sky blue" color.It is said that one day he dreamed that the sky was blue after the rain, and it was so beautiful. When he woke up, feeling lost, he ordered the porcelain worker to make it: "The sky is clear after the rain, the clouds are broken, and the future is made of the same color."Of course, this is actually a rumor, because the author of this poem is Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, and Zhao Kuangyin was the one who seized the throne from Chen Qiao's mutiny.

Because of the popularity of plain colored porcelain, other porcelains handed down from the Song Dynasty are naturally scarce in quantity, like this one, which is not only made by Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, but also has a great effect on the research of Song blue and white flowers. It is completely comparable to the sky-high price of Yuan blue and white. Even more than that.

Such a national treasure should be included in the list of "prohibited to be exhibited abroad", and sent to a private auction, naturally no one can rest assured.

So Qu Weichen came up with the idea of ​​"copying" one.
