Chapter 483

"Things are not as simple as you think. The other party... Alas! Let's put it this way. Wen has a big temper, a strange and withdrawn personality, and speaks very unkindly and ruthlessly. He has never had friends. Only I can barely talk to him. You should be prepared before you see him. Don't let him get angry. If he is angry with you, no one can persuade him. Come on If we can't find out what we want to ask at that time, we may be kicked out. "

Another difficult character. Tang Qi had a hunch that the task this time was 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 should think of some countermeasures in three days.

Tang Qize and Chuya went to the old Wen's house. On the way, Chuya said, "wait a minute, you turn right. There is a gift Street over there. I want to buy something. The old man has a bad temper. We should be considerate. Buy some flowers and tea."

"Good." they bought a bunch of flowers and a box of expensive health 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, there were some purple flowers outside.

The gate was unlocked. Tang Qi and Chu Ya went in together. After walking a few steps, they heard a loud cry.

"Waste! How do you do things? You want to be a sculptor? It's delusion!"

They saw a young man with his head down. On the cane chair in front of him sat a white haired old man, pointing to his face and yelling. The young man kept silent and bowed his head.

The more the old man said, the more angry he became. 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 fins or chicken heads? You eat in addition to shit? You can't remember any knowledge?"

Tang Qi couldn't help laughing. The old man's curse was really fresh and refined. Chuya quickly pulled his sleeve to keep him quiet. But because Tang Qi's laughter was too big, it was still heard.

Old Wen stared at Tang Qi and Chu Ya with sharp eyes and said coldly, "who are you? What are you doing here?"

Tang Qi waved the gift box in his hand: "don't do anything. Look at you."

Chu Ya hurriedly said, "Hello, we're called by master Qin. We want..."

"What about others? Since you are going to visit, you should do it yourself. Can you replace them with a few cloves of garlic?"

Chuya blushed. She was so big that she had never been scolded like this.

Tang Qize looked indifferent. Looking at the layout of the house, everything here is very simple. There are several paintings hanging on the wall. The size is very small. They are some colorful landscapes. The paintings are very good.

The old man said to the man, "go back to me now, find out what's going on, and carve it for me again!"

The young man quickly promised to run away with things. Fortunately, these two people were there, otherwise I would not be scolded to death today? Chuya put the gift on the old man's desk, but he didn't look at it.

After a while, he said coldly, "what about old man Qin? Why didn't he come?"

"He has something urgent to deal with."

"What can he do? I can't forgive him except the dead at home. I'm not an ordinary person. I wait at home every day."

Tang Qi said, "I'm almost dying. A traitor is going to rob all his family property. Now it's a time of life and death. I hope you can understand."

Old Wen's face changed: "so is the Qin family?"

"Is there another family like this besides the Qin family?"

"Don't ask me questions, I don't owe you. Sit down." old Wen pointed to the two bamboo chairs opposite.

They sat down and Tang Qi said, "we're here to deal with the desert organization. He said you know some knowledge of Geography..."

The old man interrupted him and said, "don't worry about saying this. I ask you, do you understand antiques?"

"A little."

"Good. Come and have a look at the bracelet in my hand." the old man took down a red jade bead chain on his wrist and handed it to Tang Qi.

After Tang Qi's hand touched it, he said, "this is sandalwood musk jade bead. Inside is a kind of musk particle, and the surface is a kind of incense wax. The two are mixed by calcining at high temperature."

Chu Ya was surprised and said, "I thought the light of this bead was jade. Unexpectedly, it was wax."

"Wax is different from wax. The refining method of this wax has long disappeared. It is said that it is refined from 30 kinds of animals. Wearing it on the body can prevent diseases and sleep. This kind of hand string is very rare. There is a string and remnant string in the National Museum. Only four of the 18 jade beads are made of such wax beads. It is rare. There are few such beads It's going to be hundreds of millions. It's much more precious than ordinary jadeite beads. Congratulations, sir. "

The old man looked at him in surprise: "unexpectedly, you still know so much knowledge. Jin Boming didn't know when he saw it last time."

"I also know it occasionally. It's a coincidence." Tang Qi said with a modest smile: "I don't know if I can say it now?"

Old Wen nodded. He pointed to the wall behind him: "don't worry about it first. Think about these paintings, and then tell your understanding."

Tang Qi and Chu Ya were stunned. What was the problem with the old man? Why did he look at the painting for no reason?

But since he is a freak, naturally he can't think with formal thinking, so he can only agree.

They looked for a while, and the old man asked what he saw.

Chu Ya said: "three paintings, one is cherry blossoms flying, the other is quiet water, and the other is a peasant woman drying clothes..."

"I'm not blind. Don't I know the content of the painting? I ask you what you see."

Chu Ya was startled, clenched her teeth and lips and said, "well, the color and composition are very good. It's a very beautiful gouache painting. It's just a little astringent. It should be a novice painting."

"That's it? Are you Chuya? The eldest daughter of the Chu family?"

"Well, yes."

"What about you?" he pointed to Tang Qi and said, "what do you see?"

Tang Qi went to the frame and said, "soil. I see soil."

"What soil?"

"Although the contents and locations of these three paintings are different, what they have in common is that the color and texture of the soil are the same. Blood red powdered sand is rare. Generally speaking, there are too many minerals in it. There should be a lot of minerals under such soil. These three places don't look like places in China. Is it Japanese?"

Chu Ya was always very nervous for fear that Tang Qi was wrong, but the old man was never angry, but he didn't have a good face. He suddenly pointed to the last picture and said, "this picture is called a peasant woman under the sunrise. What do you think?"

Tang Qi looked at the painting. At this time, a peasant woman was bending over with clothes. There were many clothes hanging on the clothes line. There was a beautiful freehand painting surrounded by green grass.

"Why, can't you see what's here?" old man Wen sneered, "you can show off in front of me if you know a little knowledge?"

"Did I guess wrong just now? The old man put these three paintings together to show that they are a series. I think I'm right. I really want to know what the soil West is. Should it be rare ore, chromium or rhodium?"

"Let's talk about this painting first."

"I think there is something wrong with the name of this painting."

The old man and Chuya were stunned. Chuya hurriedly pulled Tang Qi's sleeve: "it's not good. This man has a great temper. If you say it wrong, you'll be bad."

Tang Qi said, "I just have something to say. The clothes in the basket around the peasant woman are folded neatly, which means that it is not necessary to dry them after washing, but to fold them after they are dry, so it will not be the day, but the night when the clothes should be dried, so the name of this painting should be called the peasant woman in the sunset."

The old man nodded and said, "it's true. The name is a bit wrong. You're very smart. Now I understand why Qin Boming would let you come here alone." at first, he thought that old Qin would find someone to perfunctory himself, so he was very angry, but he was relieved to see that Tang Qi's brain was very smart and insightful.

He walked up to the painting with a smile: "look, is this soil very red in the sun? It's like blood and clouds."

Tang Qi came to him and said, "I don't know this. Why do you keep asking me about this painting? Is this very important?"

"Yes! Because the soil quality is related to time, you can find out what is in the soil. Some soil colors show different states with the passage of time, such as this kind of red soil."

Chu Ya said suspiciously, "red plain soil? What's that?"

"It's a very soft soil, usually about 30 meters below the ground. There are few such soil on the surface of the land. Such soil is the favorite of grave robbers. Because when the soil extends out of the ground, it's very hard to dig vertically, but it's easy to drill in as long as you master the direction and grain."

Tang Qi said, "does what you said have anything to do with this time?"

"That's smart. Come and have a look at 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 was brownish yellow, and the surface looked no different from other soils.

"This is not without red."

"This is because it needs different temperature and humidity. It is 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 think. The tripod was stolen. A man who knows very well about tomb theft dug a pit from below and stole the tripod unknowingly."

Chuya said anxiously, "no? Such a big thing is so heavy..."

"Why don't you know that this tripod can be disassembled? The whole tripod can't be disassembled, but when it becomes fragments, it can be transported away smoothly." the old man smiled.

Tang Qi said, "I never knew this knowledge. How did the tripod be disassembled? 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.
