Strange double pupils: I can see all attributes

A woman wearing a wide robe with big sleeves, gorgeous clothes and a dragon and phoenix crown on her head appeared on the paper.

The woman was surrounded by strange stone and bamboo trees, and there were three Jinwu guards standing around her. Two of the guards were wearing armor and holding axes, and one guard was not wearing armor and holding a Jinwu staff.

The remaining 25 people were all eunuchs and female officials, serving on his left and right.

The brushwork is smooth, the lines are fine, strong and flexible, and the shapes are shaped without any stagnation. The costumes of various officials in the picture are rich and varied, and the colors are bright.

When Xu Lang saw this painting, he became more confident.

The onlookers were all amazed.

Wang Dongyang looked at the painting with eyes full of admiration. If the painting was not so good, he would not have offered a million for it.

Qian Angge saw everyone's reactions and felt disdain in his heart, thinking that these country people had never seen the world.

In addition to Qian Angge and his followers, the inspection team also includes several appraisal experts over 60 years old.

At Qian Angge's signal, they took out their tools and began to identify the items.

At this time, some knowledgeable tourists and shop owners began to worry about Xu Lang.

Although the painting is well done, the clothing and jewelry styles do not match those of the empress of the Tang Dynasty.

Several experts made their own appraisals, and then gathered together to whisper.

Soon, they whispered the results of their identification to Qian Angge.

The smile on Qian Angge's face became more and more ferocious.

"Boy, don't blame me for not giving you a chance! How about you kowtow to me now and call me Grandpa Qian! I will let you go."

Xu Lang was so angry that he laughed.

"Just announce the results! I'm afraid the experts behind you have already made the identification, and you are just bluffing here!"

"That's right, don't be afraid!"

"Announce the results quickly!"

"Wait till you kowtow to me, you're an expert!"

The noise from the crowd grew louder and louder.

Even the shop owner Wang Dongyang had a glimmer of hope. If it was really this young man who vindicated him, not only would he be exempted from punishment, but his own reputation would also be preserved.

"Okay. Mr. Li, you can announce the results!"

Qian Angge also firmly believed in the results of his own identification.

Hearing about his paintings, Mr. Li also stood up.

"First, let's look at the paper this painting is made of. If it is really a court painting from the Tang Dynasty, it must have been made of hemp paper from Chengdu, also known as Shu paper.

In the Tang Dynasty, Shu paper was a tribute to the royal family, especially Chengdu hemp paper, which was only used by people in the court. Even the princes and nobles spent a lot of money to buy Shu paper from Chengdu to write poems and paint.

Mr. Li paused and continued, "But this paper is smooth and shiny, which obviously does not meet the characteristics of hemp paper. This is a paper that only appeared in later times."

"Secondly, the costumes of the characters in this painting. The woman is wearing a phoenix crown, but she is also wearing a robe with sun and moon patterns, which is completely inconsistent with the dress style of women in the Tang Dynasty.

The last point is that there is no seal on this painting, and there is no way to prove that it is a Tang Dynasty painting."

This so-called expert convinced the onlookers with just a little bit of analysis.

Wang Dongyang's eyes were also full of disappointment. But he still stood up kindly, "Okay, young man, since the experts have said so, why don't you quickly admit your mistake to Mr. Qian, and let this matter be over!"

Wang Dongyang didn't mention a word about the bet.

Xu Lang naturally noticed this as well, and he signaled Wang Dongyang to stay calm.

"How about this expert, listen to my analysis!"

Before the so-called Mr. Li could say anything, Qian Angge spoke.

"All right! I want to hear what you have to say! I'm in a good mood today, so I'll let you die knowing full well."

Xu Lang ignored him and continued talking to himself.

"First of all, the paper that Mr. Li just mentioned, Shu paper was indeed a tribute at that time. But I don't know if you have ever heard of hard yellow paper.

On the basis of the yellowing paper of the previous generation, the Tang people evenly coated the paper with wax, which made the paper glossy and beautiful, just in line with what Mr. Li said just now.

Moreover, the hard yellow paper is insect-proof and more conducive to circulation, so we can see this painting."

Xu Lang's words caused a lot of discussion among the crowd.

Those who are more knowledgeable also think of paper like hard yellow paper.

Even Mr. Li nodded slightly.

Xu Lang ignored everyone's reaction and continued, "As for the clothing style, although there are differences, what if the person in the painting is Wu Zetian?"

“Rather than calling this painting ‘The Procession of the Empress of the Tang Dynasty’, it is more like calling it ‘The Procession of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty’!”

Wu Zetian, also known as Wu Zhao.

The sun and the moon are in the sky - the word "曌" was created by Wu Zetian.

Then the sun and moon patterns on the people in the painting are also easy to understand.

Qian Ange's face already looked a little ugly.

"As for Mr. Li's last point"

Xu Lang took out his cell phone, turned on the flashlight, and shone it at the lower left corner of the painting.

There is a vague appearance of a seal.

"This seal is exactly the same as the seal on the 'Dou Lian Tu' that I saw before. It is the seal of the Tang Dynasty painter Zhang Xuan." Boss Li was shocked.

Qian Angge's face was so gloomy that water seemed to drip out of it.

"This is a painting Zhang Xuan drew for the Tang Emperor Wu Zetian. How could he dare to leave his seal on the painting? He could only tan two pieces of hard yellow paper into one and leave his seal on the bottom piece.

This is also why Mr. Li couldn't recognize the hard yellow paper. Because the characteristic of hard yellow paper is that the paper is semi-transparent! "

Xu Lang's words convinced everyone present.

Even several experts, after discussion, agreed that what Xu Lang said was indeed true.

Xu Lang crossed his arms across his chest and looked at Qian Ange with a playful expression.

Wang Dongyang's face was filled with gratitude. It was no exaggeration to say that this "Travels of Emperor Tang" was the treasure of his store.

"Kowtow, you won't say anything wrong, will you?"

"There's even an inspection team, but none of them are as good at identification as this guy."

"Hey, why aren't you so arrogant anymore?"

Seeing Qian Angge like this, Wang Dongyang wondered whether he should come out to smooth things over.

But Qian Angge didn't give him this opportunity at all.

He just stared at Xu Lang fiercely, as if he wanted to remember his appearance.

Then he said, "Just wait for me."

Just squeeze out of the crowd.

The rest of the inspection team didn't want to stay any longer, so Mr. Li bowed to Xu Lang before leaving.

Xu Lang also accepted it calmly. After all, in this line of work, the most experienced ones can be the teachers.

After the inspection team left, most of the onlookers dispersed. After all, they were government officials, and no one dared to keep them.

However, several shop owners congratulated Wang Dongyang with a smile on their faces for receiving the treasure.

Wang Dongyang also returned the gifts one by one.

Soon, Wang Dongyang finished dealing with those people and turned his attention back to Xu Lang.

"Thanks to you this time, little brother. But they are from the inspection team after all, how could they really apologize to us?"

"You're welcome, big brother. I just took action because I couldn't stand him."

Facing Wang Dongyang, Xu Lang was still very polite.

As for the clown-like Qian Angge, Xu Lang naturally didn't take him seriously.

Even if he didn't kowtow and apologize, he would have to change his career for the rest of his life.

The Tianji Association does have great power. As the official organization of the antique business, it directly leads the entire industry.

The inspection team can even confiscate counterfeit goods and punish counterfeiters.

But this time, Qian Angge forcibly confiscated the antiques, and even when someone pointed out that they were not fakes, he still refused to repent.

This situation is a big taboo in the industry.

After all, the most important thing in the antique business is credibility. If you lose your credibility, no matter how capable you are, who will believe your appraisal results?

If the inspection team is composed of people like this, how can they convince the public?

If you really think that people who work in the antique business are all easy to get along with, then there are always some big bosses standing behind them.

Qian Ange has already ruined himself, so Xu Lang doesn't need to take it to heart.

However, Wang Dongyang's thanks attracted the attention of several shop owners nearby.

Chapter 44: Lady of the Nine Heavens

Birds of a feather flock together.

Several shops around here are old shops that have been operating here for more than ten or twenty years.

The owners of each store are among the most influential people in the industry.

Xu Lang's previous fair and justifiable appraisal had already deeply impressed these people.

Moreover, he is so righteous, which naturally makes these big guys have a good impression of Xu Lang.

"Old Wang, you really have to thank this little brother!"

"That's right. Young man, let's make a killing from him. This old guy has hidden a lot of good stuff."

"My shop is right next door, come visit often when you have time!"

Faced with the olive branches extended by a group of bigwigs, Xu Lang greeted them one by one with a smile.

"Go away, go away. It's up to you old guys to tell the story!" Wang Dongyang laughed and scolded from the side.

Seeing that the greetings were almost over, the big guys left one after another. They all knew that Wang Dongyang was a man of loyalty, and if Xu Lang made a move, this guy would definitely give out benefits.

It would be tactless to stay here any longer while waiting for others.

Wait until most people have left.

Wang Dongyang briefly introduced himself to Xu Lang.

"Little brother, you have helped me a lot this time. Putting aside this painting, you have saved my reputation and business reputation!"

The gratitude in Wang Dongyang's words almost overflowed.

Xu Lang really helped him a lot.

"Little brother, what do you need? I don't need to say anything else, but I still have some connections in the antique business."

Wang Dongyang's words were sincere and heartfelt. After a moment's hesitation, Xu Lang stated his purpose of coming - to search for treasures and participate in a treasure appraisal conference.

"What's so difficult about this! Come with me, little brother!" Wang Dongyang patted his chest.

Xu Lang still wanted to refuse, but Wang Dongyang didn't give him a chance to refuse.

He asked his men to look after the store, and then enthusiastically pulled Xu Lang upstairs.

Xu Lang had no choice but to follow his footsteps.

Wang Dongyang asked Xu Lang to wait for a while, then he took out boxes one by one and opened them one by one in front of Xu Lang.

Wang Dongyang spent a lot of money to help Xu Lang.

What Xu Lang noticed was a statue of the Queen Mother of the West.

The statue of the Queen Mother of Heaven stands on auspicious clouds, with the scorching sun at her back and surrounded by birds. The carving is extremely outstanding.

But the statue was placed carelessly on the ground, as if it was ignored.
