Chapter 3 blue eyes

There are natural enemies in the antique trade, that is, those who make fake paintings and those who look at fake paintings.Those who forge fake paintings have exhausted their brains and tricks in order to deceive those sharp and tricky eyes that see fake paintings; The guy didn't hide the tip of his tail, so he stretched it out from a pile of paintings and hung it in broad daylight. This fake painting is called Blue Eyes.Worked in Yuchenggong Antique Shop on Guodian Street, and only looked at paintings.Lanyan's surname is not Lan, his surname is Jiang, his original name is Zaitang, and Lanyan is his nickname.People in Tianjin like nicknames, one is easy to call, and the other is easy to remember.The blue eyes come from his nearsighted glasses, the lenses are as thick as the bottom of a bottle, and the color is bluish, it looks like a pair of blue eyes.And the key to the blue eyes is still in his eyes.It is said that he turned off the light and looked at the paintings, and he could tell the truth from the fakes; although the words were a bit mysterious, he could not adulterate.When he looks at paintings with his blue eyes, he is really magical—when he looks at fake paintings, his eyes are dull; when he looks at real paintings, there is a blue light.

One day, a man dressed as a student came to the shop with a scroll painting in his hand.The inscription on the outside reads "Dadizi Lake Spring Scenery Picture". The blue eyes didn't seem to read it. He knew that no matter what was written on the inscription, it didn't count, and the authenticity had to be seen in the painting.He swiped the ground, swift as lightning, revealing half a foot of Hua Xin.This is Blue Eye's famous "half-foot work". He only looks at half-foot paintings no matter how big or small they are.Whether it’s true or false, let’s talk about this half-size painting, and never look at an inch or a cent.Facing the half-foot painting with blue eyes, a blue light flashed across the glasses, he raised his head and asked the visitor:

"How much are you going to sell for?" The visitor was not in a hurry to ask for the price, but said: "I heard that Mr. Huang in Xitou also copied this painting." Huang Sanye is the number one master of fake paintings in Jinmen.Everyone in the antique shop was afraid of him.Unexpectedly, the blue-eyed listener didn't listen, and said again: "I have never seen Mr. Huang in my eyes. Tell me how much you plan to sell this painting for." "Two." The visitor said.These two are twenty taels of gold. The asking price is not low, and it is not too high. With a little bit of pressure on both sides, the deal will be done at eighteen taels.

Since this day, the antique shops in Jinmen have said that Mr. Yucheng of Guodian Street bought a landscape of Dazi Shitao.Some people say that this thing was exiled from a certain palace in Beijing.The people who came to sell paintings were not very good at it, but the blue eyes caught them right.Pay less and get better stuff.Such an exquisite big body has not been seen in Tianjin's antique shops in ten years.At that time, there were no newspapers, and the mouth was the media. The more words were spoken, the more brilliant they became, and the wider the spread.There are always people coming to see the paintings one after another, and Mr. Yucheng is almost becoming a silk and satin shop.

The things in the world, after talking about one end, start talking about the other end.About three months later, some people began to say that Mr. Yucheng's big body was unreliable.At first glance, it is quite bluffing, but after watching it a few times, it becomes watery and loses energy.The difference between real and fake paintings is that real paintings can stand to be looked at, but fake paintings can't stand to be looked at.After the word spread, news came out—someone said that this painting was a fake made by Mr. Huang in Xitou!Isn't this the same as splashing dirty water on someone's blue-eyed robe?

Blue eyes have roots, so ignore them.The more you ignore it, the more mysterious it spreads.Later, I said that I have a nose and an eye.It is said that someone saw the real thing of this scroll painting in a person's house on Zhenshi Street.So, one after another, people went to Yu Chenggong's antique shop to look at paintings, but this time they wanted to see how Mr. Huang could cover his blue eyes.It's always the most fascinating to watch capable people stumble! Mr. Tong Wuye, the owner of Mr. Yucheng, felt a little nervous, so he said to Lanyan: "I believe in your eyesight, but I can't stand the gossip outside, which disturbs our shop all day long. Should we find someone to find out where the painting is?" Where. If there is a painting that is exactly the same, try to show it to distinguish the real from the fake, so as to make us look better."

Blue Eyes could tell that the boss had no clue, but gossip and gossip could be ignored unless he followed the boss's advice and revealed both the true and the false.People make trouble in the dark, but I win in the light. Boss Tong called You Xiaowu.You Xiaowu is a gopher mouse in Tianjin Wei, who burrows around and can feel everything with his ears.They sent You Xiaowu to inquire, and they got news the next day.It turns out that there is really another big picture, also called "The Spring Scenery of the Lake", and it is really in a family surnamed Cui on Zhenshi Street!Neither Boss Tong nor Lan Yan knew who the Cui family was.Boss Tong asked You Xiaowu to look with blue eyes.I have to go to the blue eye. When I got to the house, I saw two blue lights flashing through the lenses of the glasses. I'm so stupid!

The real painting turned out to be this one.The picture in the store is fake!The size, color, and frame of the two paintings are all the same, and even the stamps are imitated.But the look is different -- look, this one is really a look! How he hit the eye in the first place is completely unknown.Facing this painting at this time, I really wish I could get into the ground.He had seen one for twenty years.His blue eyes are like a god in the antique shop.He said that the truth must be true, and the false must be false, no one does not believe it.But this time, if he missed it and spread it, it would be ruined.In the business of looking at real and fake paintings, one should be right for the rest of one's life, and if one is wrong, one will stumble to the end.

He said nothing.I went back to the shop and told the boss the truth.Yu Chenggong and Lanyan are connected together, and they have to be planted.Boss Tong thought about it all night.With an idea, I decided to buy the Cui family's large body, and I didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money.Holding both paintings in his hands, it is up to him to say which is true and which is false.But they must not show up for this matter, so they paid someone else to pretend to be the buyer, and followed You Xiaowu to Cui's house to buy the scroll painting.Unexpectedly, someone with the surname Cui would pay a sky-high price.Otherwise, keep it for yourself and not sell it.When you buy something, you are afraid that you must buy it while you must sell it.But the person who pretended to be the buyer had a good idea, because Boss Huang said to him when he came, "Even if my shop is smashed, you have to buy me the painting."So he made concessions again and again, and in the end it took seven bars of gold to buy it, which was twice as much as the previous one.

When the scroll painting was brought to Yu Chenggong, Boss Tong was relieved. Although he felt sorry for the money, he kept Yu Chenggong's brand.He asked the guys to hang the two scrolls side by side on the wall, so that they could be seen thoroughly.After the painting was hung, Blue Eyes stepped forward to take a look, and three lights flashed across the glasses.The man stood there with a stick.Everything is going well and the strange thing is right in front of us──It turns out that the previous picture is true, but the one I just bought is fake! Comparing the real and the fake without putting them together, you can't tell the real from the fake at all──this is the ability of people to fake paintings, and it is also the most superb ability!

But what are the pair of blue eyes?navel? The blue eyes almost closed in one breath.After three days, he went through the ins and outs, and only then did he realize that all of this was a trap set up by Mr. Huang in the dark.I will let you in step by step.Real paintings don't suffer a loss, while fake paintings sell at sky-high prices.He suddenly remembered that the person dressed as a scholar who first came to sell the painting told him, "Mr. Huang also copied this painting"?People have something to say first, and it has long been clear that this painting is true or false.Then look at who to blame?It seems that this Mr. Huang is not only here for money, he simply said that he is here for himself.People tell you to save the real paintings in your hand, and then buy the fake paintings made by him.How awesome!When he understands this level, he will be considered to understand and admit to the end!From here on, Lanyan rolled up the quilt and left Yu Chenggong.Since then, not only the name of Tianjin Antique Shop, but also the shadow of Tianjin's ground has disappeared.Some people said that he had a serious illness, and since then he lay down and never got up again.It was so miserable! Thinking about it again, he has even worse - he lost to the third master Huang, but he only saw the handwriting of the third master Huang, and he never saw his face! Fortunately, he finally thought of Huang Sanye's move.Dead clearly.
