"It's not as simple as you think, the other side Alas! He has never been able to talk with his friends. He's very lonely. He's very hard to talk to before. Don't make him angry. If he is angry with you, no one can persuade him. If we can't find out what we want to ask at that time, maybe we will be driven out. "
Another difficult character. Tang Qi has a hunch that the task this time is very difficult.
He didn't have time to say anything to him. He went to Oufu auction house with Mickey. After all, this place is still its own. We need to think of some countermeasures in three days.
Tang Qize and Chuya went to old Wen's home. On the way, Chuya said, "wait a minute, you turn right. There's a gift Street over there. I want to buy something. The old man is not good tempered. We should have good manners. Buy some flowers and tea and send them to him." "Not bad." They bought a bunch of flowers and a box of expensive health care products on the gift street. Then I went to the old man's house. The old man lived in a small villa with two floors. Although it was very old, the atmosphere was very warm. In addition, some purple flowers were planted outside.
The gate is not locked. Tang Qi and Chu ya go in together. After a few steps, they hear a shout.
"Waste! How do you do it? You want to be a sculptor? What a delusion
They saw a young man with his head down. On the cane chair in front of him sat an old man with white hair, pointing to his face and yelling. The young man said nothing and bowed his head.
The more the old man said, the more angry he was. He waved a wooden statue in his hand and kept yelling: "for three years, I don't know what you have learned from me. Are your fingers duck web or are you chicken head? What's in your stomach except shit? I can't remember any knowledge? "
Tang Qi couldn't help laughing. The old man's swearing is fresh and refined. Chuya quickly pulled his sleeve to keep him quiet. But because Tang Qi's laughter was too big, he was heard.
Old Wen stares at Tang Qi and Chu Ya with sharp eyes and says coldly: "who are you? What are you doing here? "
Tang Qi waved the gift box in his hand: "no, look at you old man."
Chu Ya said in a hurry: "Hello, we are called by Mr. Qin. We want to..."
"What about the others? Since we are going to visit, we have to do it ourselves. Can you take the place of these garlic cloves? "
Chuya blushed. She was so big that she had never been scolded like that.
Tang Qize is indifferent, looking at the layout of the house, everything here is very simple, hanging on the walls of a few paintings, the size is very small, is some colorful scenery, the painting is very good.
The old man said to the man, "now go back and find out what's going on. Carve it out for me again!"
The young man quickly agreed to scurry with his things. Fortunately, there were these two people. Otherwise, I would not be scolded to death today? Chuya put the present on the old man's table, but he didn't look at it.
After a while, he said coldly, "old man Qin, why didn't he come?"
"He has something urgent to deal with."
"What can he do? I can't forgive anyone but the dead at home. I'm not an ordinary person. I wait at home every day. "
Tang Qi said: "I'm almost dying. There's a traitor in my family who's going to rob all his property. It's also a time of life and death. I hope you can understand."
Old Wen's face changed: "so does the Qin family?"
"Is there any other family besides the Qin family?"
"Don't ask me questions, I don't owe you. Sit down. " Mr. Wen pointed to the two bamboo chairs on the opposite side.
They sat down, and Tang Qi said, "we are here to deal with the desert organization. He said that you know something about geography..."
The old man interrupted him and said, "don't worry about this. I ask you, do you know anything about antiques?"
"A little bit."
"Good. Come on, look at the bracelet on my hand." The old man took down a string of red jade beads on his wrist and handed them to Tang Qi.
After Tang Qi's hand touched it, he said, "this is sandalwood musk jade bead. It's a kind of musk particles inside, and a kind of incense wax on the surface. It's calcined at high temperature to mix the two."
Chu Ya was surprised and said, "I think this bead is jade, but it's wax." "Wax is different from wax. The method of making this kind of wax has long been extinct. It is said that it is extracted from 30 kinds of animals. Wearing it on the body can prevent all diseases and calm the mind. This kind of hand string is very rare in the world. There is a string, a remnant string in the National Museum. Only four of the 18 jade beads are made of this kind of wax beads, which is rare The string of beads is worth hundreds of millions at least, which is much more precious than ordinary jadeite beads. Congratulations, old man. "The old man looked at him in surprise: "I didn't expect you to know so much knowledge. Jin Boming didn't know when he saw it last time."
"I know it from time to time. It's a coincidence." Tang Qi said with a smile: "I don't know if I can say it now?"
Mr. Wen nodded. He pointed to the back wall again: "don't worry about this. You can think about these paintings, and then say your understanding."
Tang Qi and Chu Ya are stunned. What's wrong with the old man? Why do they want to see paintings for no reason?
But since he is a strange man, he can't think in a formal way, so he can only agree.
After a while, the old man asked what he saw.
Chu Ya said: "three paintings, one is cherry blossoms flying, one is the quiet water, the other is a peasant woman drying clothes..."
"I'm not blind. Don't I know what the painting is about? I ask you what you see
Chuya was startled. She bit her teeth and said, "well, the color and composition are very good. It's a very beautiful gouache painting. It's just that the technique is a little raw. It should be a novice painting. "
"That's it? Are you Chuya? The eldest daughter of the Chu family? "
"Yes. Yes
"And you?" He pointed to Tang Qi and said, "what do you see?"
Tang Qi went to the picture frame and said, "earth. I see the earth. "
"What soil?" "Although the contents and locations of the three paintings are different, what they have in common is that the color and texture of the soil are the same. The blood red powdery sandy soil is very rare. Generally speaking, there are too many minerals in it. There should be a lot of minerals under this soil.
these three places don't look like the places of China. Is it the Japanese? "
Chuya has been very nervous, for fear that Tang Qi is wrong, but the old man has never been angry, but there is no good face, he suddenly pointed to the last painting: "this painting is called the farmer's wife under the sun, what do you think?"
Tang Qi looks at the painting. At this time, a peasant woman is bending over to hold clothes. There are many clothes hanging on the clothesline. There is a beautiful freehand painting of green grass around.
"Why, can't you see what's here?" Old man Wen sneered, "if you know something, you can show off in front of me?"
"I guess not? If you put these three paintings together, it means that they are a series. I think what I said is good. I really want to know what's on the west side of the earth. Should it be a rare ore, chromium or rhodium? "
"Let's talk about this painting first."
"I think there's something wrong with the name of the painting."
The old man and Chuya were stunned for a moment, and Chuya quickly grabbed Tang Qi's sleeve: "this is not good. He's got a big temper. If you're wrong, you're going to be really bad. " Tang Qi said: "I just have something to say. The clothes in the basket beside the farmer's wife are all folded neatly, which means that it's not to dry out after washing, but to fold the clothes after drying, so it's not the day, but the night when the clothes should be dried.
so it's better to call the painting the farmer's wife in the sunset 。” The old man nodded and said, "it's true. The name is a bit wrong. You're smart. Now I can understand why Qin Boming will let you come here alone. " At the beginning, he thought that Mr. Qin would find someone to deal with himself, so he was very angry. However, seeing that Tang Qi was very smart and insightful, he was relieved.
He walked up to the painting with a smile: "look, is this soil very red in the sun? It's like blood, it's like clouds. "
Tang Qi came to him and said, "I don't know that. Why do you keep asking me about this painting? Is it important?"
"Yes! Because the soil quality has something to do with time. If you want to know what's in the soil, you can find out from the soil. Some soil colors show different states over time, such as this kind of red soil
Chu Ya said doubtfully: "red earth? What's that? " "It's a very soft soil, which is generally about 30 meters below the ground. There are very few such soil on the surface of the land. This kind of soil is the favorite of tomb robbers. Because the soil is very hard when it is dug vertically when it stretches out from the ground, but as long as you have a good command of
direction and grain, you can get in well. "
Tang Qi said: "is this related to this event?"
"That's smart. You can see this." The old man went to the table, took out a bag and handed it to Tang Qi.
Tang Qi took it to have a look. The soil inside is brown yellow, and the surface looks no different from other soils.
"It's not without red."
"This is because it needs a different temperature and humidity. It's red below the ground. And this soil is what I found in the warehouse you just sealed up. "
Tang Qi was surprised and said, "what does that mean?""That's what you mean. The tripod was stolen from the tomb by a man who didn't know it
Chuya said urgently, "no? It's so big, it's so heavy... "
"Why don't you know that this tripod can be disassembled? The whole thing can't work, but after it's broken, it can be carried away smoothly. " The old man said with a smile.
Tang Qi said: "I never know this knowledge. How did the tripod come apart? I have never read such an article in the literature. " "Not all tripods can be disassembled. Not everyone can use this technology, but the tripod you are looking for is an exception." The old man said with a smile.
