Golden Eye

It wasn't until Lin Qianyi took Xuan Ning to apprentice that he realized that the old man with a loud voice in front of him was a family friend of the Lin family and an important figure in the world of antique collection and appreciation, Gu Zhuozeng.

Although his status was quite high, Xuan Ning was not in a hurry, and greeted politely: "Hello, Uncle Gu." He felt that he should be called Grandpa according to the age introduced by Lin Qianyi, but Lin Qianyi insisted on calling him after him.

Mr. Gu had been watching him carefully when he entered the door, so he couldn't help but nodded in his heart at this moment.The child advances and retreats well, both stable and generous.If it weren't for the defective eyes, he would be willing to accept him now, which would be considered as a way to save Lin Qianyi's face.It's just that in the business of collecting and appreciating, eyesight is extremely important.An invisible child, the future development makes it hard to be optimistic.

Looking at the flashing expression of the old man, Lin Qianyi said with a smile: "Uncle Gu, don't worry, I promise that Xuan Ning will never be worse than other people in your class. Besides, I also It doesn’t matter what Xuan Ning has learned, the most important thing is that he likes it.”

Old Mr. Gu raised his eyelids in surprise, stared at him thoughtfully, and told Xuan Ning to sit here for a while, got up and took two steps outside, beckoning Lin Qianyi out as well.When he glanced over for the last time, he saw Xuan Ning sitting on the sofa drinking tea calmly, completely motionless.

Xuan Ning didn't care what Lin Qianyi and the others muttered, but when the two came back, he could hear something different.It seemed that Lin Qianyi's steps were more solemn than just now, Xuan Ning's ears moved, he raised his head towards Lin Qianyi's direction, and asked naturally, "Brother Lin, what are you hugging?"

Old Mr. Gu twitched his eyebrows when he heard the words, and looked at Lin Qianyi calmly. Lin Qianyi showed a complacent expression, and winked at him again.Mr. Gu also showed a smile and made a gesture of please.

Lin Qianyi put down the things in his arms, took Xuan Ning's hand and slowly touched it, "Xuan Ning, come and touch it, and tell me about this porcelain."

"Oh." Xuan Ning nodded obediently, and the moment he touched it, the supernatural power made the information of this porcelain appear in his head.He also guessed the situation at this moment.It must be that Mr. Gu was still a little hesitant, but Lin Qianyi tried every means to persuade him, so he talked a little bit about the past incidentally.

He contemplated for a moment, and determined that what he needed to do now was to select the parts of the information that did not require eyes, and speak them out with reservations.After all, there is Mr. Gu here, which is different from being with Lin Qianyi.

Xuan Ning didn't realize that without knowing it, he already trusted Lin Qianyi 12 points, as if he really regarded him as a brother.

It's not a real thing, but it's an old imitation.The imitations are all from the late Qing Dynasty, and the styles are very interesting.It is a round bulging belly, but there is a tiger's head facing up to the sky on it, and there are four legs under the belly, and there is a lifting beam on the back.He didn't read the name, but said, "It feels like celadon, the glaze and body are combined. It shouldn't be too old, it looks like a pot, but..." Xuan Ning smiled shyly, "I don't like these things. Don’t know much, not sure what it is.”

Although he only said a few words, Mr. Gu was already taken aback. He raised his white eyebrows and looked him up and down with unbelievable eyes.

Xuan Ning vaguely felt that the atmosphere suddenly stagnated, and for some reason, he couldn't help asking: "Brother Lin?"

Lin Qianyi comforted him with a smile: "It's okay." In his heart, he felt somewhat complacent about shocking the old man... This is Xuan Ning, the sensible and capable Xuan Ning!

Mr. Gu left for a while without saying a word, and when he came back, he was holding a small brocade box in his arms.After opening the box, Lin Qianyi saw that there were many fragments of porcelain inside.A relatively complete pile, probably belonging to the same porcelain, has been pieced together to form a complete shape.As for the other pieces, there are separate larger pieces of broken porcelain, and there are also smaller pieces of small porcelain.

"Come." Mr. Gu nodded to Lin Qianyi.

Lin Qianyi took Xuan Ning's hand knowingly, and touched it lightly with his fingertips, Xuan Ning's hand trembled.Lin Qianyi's heart moved, and when he raised his eyes again, he caught the faint blush behind Xuan Ning's ears.He was inexplicably distracted, but he almost poked at the sharp corner of a piece of broken porcelain. It was Mr. Gu who reminded him that there was no bloodshed.

Xuan Ning couldn't help laughing.At first he was really nervous, Lin Qianyi's hand came up, the heat from his palm almost seeped into his body, making him breathless.But at this moment, all the nervousness was gone, and when he actually touched the broken porcelain, his mind was left completely clear, leaving only the information about the broken porcelain in his mind.

"This is from Yaozhou kiln, with embossed and embossed patterns."

"This is the feel of sweet white porcelain, which is thin and crisp to the touch."

"This is……"

Mr. Gu just sat with his eyes closed at first, but he opened his eyes when he spoke the second time, and then he opened them wider and wider, until he even shone brightly.

After Xuan Ning mentioned the categories of the six broken porcelain pieces one by one, Mr. Gu started to stare at him, until Xuan Ning seemed to feel a little uncomfortable, and then he slapped his hands suddenly, Called: "Okay!"

Lin Qianyi smiled, "Uncle Gu, you have to take it easy. If you get too excited, my dad will enforce the family law and beat me."

"Hahaha..." Old Mr. Gu laughed very happily, "My health is very good! Besides, your father can control you? You boy refused to obey his discipline when you were young, so don't pull his tiger skin at this time La!" Then he turned to Xuan Ning, "Xiao Xuan, your skill in touching the texture with your hands is amazing! No matter how confident I am in my eyesight, I can't do better than you!"

Xuan Ning couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, if it wasn't for the unexpected ability, no matter how sharp his sense of touch is, it would be useless.He was still a little worried, afraid of being seen as strange.

Lin Qianyi had already realized his secret, so he helped him out: "So someone said that when God closes this door, he will open another window for you? If it is really for having such a good feeling , so that I can't see my eyes, then I will definitely not do it."

Mr. Gu looked at Xuanning's expression with a flash of pity, and nodded in agreement, "That is. I agreed today, but Qianyi, don't be complacent, it's not for your sake, but Xiaoxuan's Let me, an old man, move his mind and want to have such a good apprentice!"

Hearing that he clearly said the word apprentice, Xuan Ning still didn't understand why, but Lin Qianyi was stunned for a moment, and then pulled Xuan Ning and urged him: "Xuan Ning, call Master quickly." The joy in his voice You will know it as soon as you hear it.

Xuan Ning obediently took a cup of tea and handed it to Mr. Gu: "Master, drink tea."

Seeing how well he understands etiquette, Mr. Gu was even more pleased. He nodded and took the tea with a smile, and joked: "I made this teacher's tea, hahaha."

Xuan Ning blushed, but heard Mr. Gu had changed the subject in a considerate manner, "Qian Yi, my precious apprentice, you must take care of me!" Then he picked up the first piece of porcelain and told Xuan Ning Ning said, "This thing is called a tiger."

"Tiger?"

"Yes, this kind of thing first appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and it was popular from the Three Kingdoms to the Wei and Jin Dynasties. There are three types of shapes. The overall shape of the tiger is obviously as the name implies. The second type is cocoon-shaped, and the head is piled up to form a tiger, with a round mouth and a square nose. The third one is also very vivid. The third one is the one I took out. You are right, this is a fake I found in the early years, and it should have come to the Republic of China in the late Qing Dynasty. Huzi found it in the tombs over the years. , Some people say it is used as a chamber pot, and others say it is used to hold water or wine." Because it was explained to Xuan Ning, Mr. Gu said it in an easy-to-understand way, "But I remember that a few years ago, there was a tomb unearthed An inscription is engraved on the tiger's cub, with the name of the craftsman on it. Xiao Xuan, do you think the craftsman would be willing to leave his name on the chamber pot?"

Xuan Ning smiled: "You probably don't want to."

"That's it." Mr. Gu spread his hands, "So I think it's still a water vessel or a wine vessel."

When he came out of Mr. Gu's house, Xuan Ning remembered how happy Lin Qianyi was before, and asked while getting into the car, "Brother Lin, what are you happy about?"

"You should be happy, and you should be happy if you know." Lin Qianyi stroked his hair, and didn't start the car right away, "Actually, I brought you here today just to make Uncle Gu look familiar, so that he can take care of you." You. It’s not for apprenticeship, but for a workshop named by Uncle Gu. The workshop was jointly held by his scientific research institute and several museums in this city. I originally thought that I could enter the workshop. Okay, learn theoretical knowledge there. Who knows..." His gaze became softer, "Uncle Ku will accept you as an apprentice! Do you know who his previous apprentices were? You can't add more than two hands Now your brothers and sisters are all well-known experts in this field. So we, Xuanning, are different, and Uncle Gu likes it so much!"

Xuan Ning's face became hot from what he said, "It's...not really, if it wasn't for Brother Lin, you helped me, or if it wasn't for good luck, I wouldn't even be able to recognize Uncle Gu."

"How can you say that, if it's Lao Yan, I guarantee that Uncle Gu will kick him out." Lin Qianyi knew that what Xuan Ning said was true, but he couldn't follow Xuan Ning's words, immediately He changed the subject with a smile.

"Why?" Xuan Ning was curious.

Lin Qianyi broke the news without hesitation: "Old Yan's family is actually Uncle Gu's acquaintance, you know that old Yan guy, he can't sit still now, let alone when he was a child. He is like a monkey, jumping up and down all day long. Once I broke a jade pot spring bottle that Uncle Gu treasured so much, I felt sorry for Uncle Gu, and immediately made Old Yan a refusal account!"
