I am not interested in money anymore

What Su Chen said was not fabricated, it was all Wu Lao told him.

When he was in Panjiayuan before, he kept picking up leaks.After eating, Mr. Wu told him about this master, after all, this master is also considered a legend in the circle.

In fact, it's more than that. Later, Mr. Wu also lent a lot of his personal notes to Su Chen. There were many strange things about the Wenwan circle. Su Chen read all the notes, so he can really call it now. He is a master of antique appreciation, whether it is technical or experience, he has this confidence.

After hearing Su Chen's words, Gu Qingya frowned and said: "A person who specializes in fakes, no matter how superb his craftsmanship is, he can't be called a master, right?"

"That's right! Such people are called masters, can the leader of the thief industry start a school?"

Gu's father gritted his teeth. Obviously, this Guanyin image made him unclear.

Seeing this, Su Chen didn't dare to irritate Gu's father any more, and hurriedly said: "Uncle, don't worry, I just said this Guanyin is like a fake, but I didn't say he is worthless!"

When Father Gu heard it, his eyes brightened instantly."Yes, Xiaochen, since you knew it was a fake before, and you let me buy it, there must be a reason, right? Tell me, what is going on?"

Su Chen nodded and said, "Hehe, uncle, this Guanyin statue must be a fake, but there should be good things in its stomach, which is why Jia Zhen is called a master."

"In the belly?" Gu's father was instantly excited."Xiaochen, don't betray you, just talk about it, what is going on."

"Okay! Actually this is also a legend in the circle. It is said that the true identity of this master Jia Zhen is an external professor of a certain museum. He likes to study porcelain all his life and is also committed to imitation porcelain. Uncle, you know, like It's the exhibits in the museum, many of which are imitations. After all, if you put the genuine ones, if something happens, the loss will be great.

And this master Jia Zhen was responsible for making imitations of antique porcelain in several museums, and his craftsmanship has become more sophisticated over time.Of course, the imitations he made in the museum have very clear special markings, and these imitations will not enter the market.

This kind of thing was originally the case. Although the master Jia Zhen made a lot of imitations, they were all about the museum and had nothing to do with the market.

However, things are impermanent. In addition to being an external professor at the museum, this master is also a collector himself. There are many antique treasures in his home.It's a pity that his children are not filial. For fun, he stole a lot of good things from him and sold them.This master Jia Zhen was furious at the time, but he was reluctant to devote his life accumulation to the museum.Finally, in desperation, he thought of a way. He made a large number of antique fakes and hid his half-life collection in these fakes.

But this method was to hide his children in a short time.But in the end, this master Jia Zhen finally awakened before his death, that he could not take these treasures with him after all. If he kept it for himself, he would definitely be sold by his descendants.Although Master Jia was a bit selfish, he was still very patriotic in his bones, so before he died, he told a friend of his museum curator and donated all his fake chinaware and all the antiques in it!"

After Su Chen said, he was a little embarrassed.He has the ability to imitate fakes without making fakes. The family is poor but does not sell antiques. For the purpose of passing on antiques, he resolutely handed in all his personal possessions. He has to admit that this master Jia Zhen is a master worthy of respect.At least the current Su Chen can't do this.

Every one of those treasures in the courtyard of his imperial capital is his heart, and he feels distressed if one is missing, let alone hand in.

But Su Chen and Jia Zhen are different.Jia Zhen does not have his financial resources.So compared to Master Jia Zhen, Su Chen had a second choice, which was to build a museum by himself.Although once a museum is established, it is equivalent to handing over one's own treasure to the country, but at least he is the curator of the museum!

After listening to Su Chen's words, Gu's father was also silent.After a while, he sighed with emotion: "According to that, this master is indeed worthy of admiration, but I am a villain."

But after a while, Father Gu stared at the Guanyin statue in his hand and asked puzzledly: "But Xiaochen, didn't you say that Master Jia Zhen has handed in all the fake porcelain? So what's the matter?"

Su Chen smiled and replied: "It is said that the master made more than 300 counterfeit porcelains, but in the end he only handed in 289 pieces, and the remaining dozens were all missing. As for how they went missing, then It's just a historical puzzle. But thinking about it, you can understand that more than 300 fakes have been stored in Jia's house for more than ten years, and it is normal to lose them for decades!"

Upon hearing this, Gu's father was really excited this time.

"In other words, our Guanyin image is probably one of the original fakes?"

Su Chen nodded.

Gu Qingya followed in astonishment and said: "That is to say, there is probably an antique hidden in it?"

Su Chen nodded again."If nothing else, it should be so."

"I have a problem!" Gu Qingyu said suddenly.

Su Chen smiled."What's the problem? Tell me!"

Gu Qingyu rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I believe the story you tell, and I believe there may be something in it, but how can you guarantee that the value in it must exceed three million?"

"Hey? You girl, why are you staring at money? Even if the contents are not valuable, as long as they are antiques, our money will not be wasted!"

Gu's father guessed that he was afraid that there would be an accident for a while, and Su Chen felt uneasy, so he hurriedly scolded.

Su Chen waved his hand."Uncle, Xiaoyu, there are two reasons why I dare to spend money. The first is pure curiosity. I also heard this story from my elders. However, it is said that the fake porcelain of Master Jia Zhen is super rare in the market. I have appeared twice, but unfortunately, the buyer did not disclose what they got from the porcelain, so I was curious."

That's right!Playing antiques requires this kind of mentality. Based on this curiosity, it is worth three million."Gu's father added.

Su Chen smiled, and then said: "The second and most important point. According to legend, this master Jia Zhen was protecting his counterfeit porcelain in case of loss, and the antiques in it will not appear because of neglect. Loss. So the original value of the fake porcelain he imitated is basically similar to the value of the antiques hidden inside.

In other words, the value of the things in this Guanyin statue is at least not inferior to the perfect-quality Song Dynasty celadon!"

"Perfect appearance?" Gu's father was taken aback and surprised: "Isn't that worth at least several million?"

Su Chen nodded.

But in fact, the main reason Su Chen dared to pay was because he had seen the answer long ago.

Through the eyes of the sky, he already knew that the value of the things in the Guanyin statue was definitely not inferior to the perfect-looking shadow celadon.
