The carriage slowly stopped in front of the Dolphin Antique Shop.
Garen jumped out of the car, gave the money to the driver, went to the door of the antique shop, the store door was closed, and the inside was very quiet.
He looked up at the store card and raised his hand to start knocking at the door.
"Open the door!"
"I'm coming!"
The shop door slammed open a slit from the inside, and the old man grabbed Garen, pulled him in, and quickly closed the door.
The store was extremely dark, and only a kerosene lamp was placed on the table in front of the bookshelf. Under the faint faint light, there was a small red-brown hourglass, and the black sand was slowly dripping down and rustling.
Garen slightly adapted to the light in the store and swept the hourglass on the table.
"What is this?" What are you new to? ”
The old man did not speak, but slowly walked to the table and sat down. The light illuminates his face, and it looks very old and exhausted.
"This is a black hourglass that my friend gave me. It is used for timing. It is said that it can be timed up for a long time."
He shook his hourglass: "I have been in hand for two weeks, but I have only missed one-fifth. Are you slow?"
"It's really slow."Garen frowned slightly, looking at the older face of the old man. "What happened to the old man?" The color is not very good recently. ”
He found a stool and sat down at the table, screwing up the kerosene lamp, and the light was brighter.
"Maybe I am sick…."Geguo old man smiled, but it was no wretchedness. "Say, what is it that you are coming over? In general, if you are okay, you will not run to me. ”
"I am not honoring the elderly? You are a lonely old man of seventy or eighty years old. I am not afraid that you are not taking care of you? ”Garen smiled. "Right, what about your children?" What about relatives? Have you ever seen it? ”
Who knows?The old man muttered, his face was a bit stunned. "Well, don't say this, talk about your business." Your kid is fine and will not run to me. ”
"You really know me."Garen sees the old man's expression and knows what his children might be referring to the sadness of the old man, and then he is moving the topic. "When I came, I wanted to ask you how to identify antiques. To identify antique jewellery, you must have opened an antique shop. Should you know something about it? ”
"This is simple!"The old man sat up straight and glanced at Garen. "But why…"He reached out and spread it to Garen.
Pa
A stack of paper money was taken in the hands of the old man.
The hand is still standing.
Garen frowned, and found a thousand shots on the old man's hand.
"You can see clearly the old man, this is a thousand stacks!"
"I know that it is a thousand stacks. However, the identification of this line requires long-term accumulation and knowledge and experience. I have accumulated so much for the elderly. Would you like to pay for it?"Geguo old man slowly put away two thousand dollars, and his face was cozy. "Only two thousand, it is cheaper for your kid. ”
"Then let me introduce you to the road to identify the line."The old man cleared his throat.
"The so-called identification actually refers to several aspects of effort. First, identify true and false. Second, judge the age. Three judge the origin, four, judge the process value. Each of these four aspects requires a long time to learn and accumulate experience. What do you want to learn first? ”
"Can you learn together? I am very confident in myself. ”
“Learning together?”The old man looked at Garen under the light, and suddenly he groaned, his eyes seemed awkward. "Learning together, have confidence in yourself?" That was closeUnfortunately, you have no talent…"His last sentence seems to be whispering.
After Garen Physique went up, he had a good hearing and vaguely heard the old man's low voice, but he didn't care too much. Anyone has a secret. Others don't want to tell themselves that this is the right of others.
"Can you learn to authenticate first and foremost?"
No problemThe old man seemed to be interested at once. He slammed his mouth, pulled out the drawer from under the table, took out a stack of white paper and two quills inside, and then unscrewed the ink bottle on one side.
"Identification of true and false is actually the most difficult place to identify a line. This is actually to see the accumulated experience and the time to play antiques."He drew a circle on the paper and painted a cross inside.
"Do you know what this is?"He pointed to the graph.
"Don't know…"A round cross window? ”Garen looked at the graphics guess on the paper.
“This is a special mark of a jewellery master during the Great Navigation period. If you know the meaning of this mark, you can see the age, level, and category of the mark from the subtleties. Of course, if you don't understand, you can't see anything. ”
Garen nodded thoughtfully: "You want to tell me that the identification of true and false, not only depends on the manufacturing details of the object itself, but also the history behind it, as well as some special background knowledge, in order to truly identify the true and false. ?"
"Hey? The brain is very flexible and the response is good. ”The old man just wanted to say this key, he was directly guessed by Garen, and his expression was slightly strange. "I am also going to let you look at a high imitation product. I can't see the true and false good things except the mark symbol. I will give you a vivid and vivid example. I didn't expect you to react immediately. ”
He paused, "Since you understandd understood, then you should understand that to identify true and false antiques, what you need is to understand history, crafts of different eras, famous masters, genres, categories. Famous allusions, manufacturing styles, factories, etc. Many times when you combine these things and look at antique jewellery, you can come to a more realistic conclusion. ”
“So what do I have to learn first is this background knowledge?”Garen nodded. "Is there a good book? ”
"There is nothing, but it is not very useful to read a book. You should read it first. I will tell you about my own identification experience and special identification methods. We will come step by step. There are many things that are not in the book. To identify this line, in addition to the vision, you need to use the sense of smell, hearing, touch, and taste. So there is no point in the theory of light. But you can read the book first. ”
The old man turned over from the shelf and found a white-skinned head. "This is the history of jewelry development. ”
He turned over again and took out a thicker black brick. "This is an antique faction and historical development."
Stack the two books together and push them in front of Garen.
"Get it back, look at it and come back to me."
Garen looked at the two big heads silently. "When do I have to read these two books?" I am afraid that there are thousands of pages? ”
"No hurry, look slowly, just read it within a month."The old man waved his hand. "Well, let's go, I have to take a rest and sleep."
Garen picked up two books. "Then I will go first. I will come back to you after reading."
"Oh, right."The old man slaps his head. "Are you not asking the last book?" Since you like the book so much, I will send you a little gadget, which is reserved for commemoration. ”
He reached out and touched it in his crotch, and finally found a small pendant. The style was an open book.
"Give you."He threw it over.
Garen caught and looked at it. The pendant was only the size of the thumbnail, the workmanship was exquisite, the whole body was black, and the center of the open page had a dark red weird symbol.
"What is this?"
"When I bought the book, I gave it up. You can do it."The old man reached out and grabbed it in his crotch. It seemed a little itchy.
Garen burst into cold, and quickly put the pendant into his trouser pocket. "I said this thing, where did you touch it? Are you disgusting?" Ok, I am leaving first. ”
"go Go."The old man put his hand on an impatient look.
From the antique shop, Garen waited for a while at the door of the store. There was no carriage passing for more than ten minutes. The location was not very good. There were very few people coming by the carriage. He had to hold the book and walk along the street to Pennington Street.
As he walked down the floor of the family, he looked up at the window of the house, just to see that Lombard just walked away from the window quickly, leaving only the sash that was still shaking, seemingly deliberately hiding his taste.
Garen would have liked to go and see what he saw, and when he saw Lombard at home, he was not interested. Since the last time he was unhappy with Longbas, he was upset when he saw this guy.
"This guy is quite safe recently."Garen didn't take a few steps before holding the book, and suddenly there was a rush of footsteps behind him.
"Elder Brother Garen!"A crisp girl voice came from behind.
Garen turned and saw a young girl with a red face running towards herself.
The girl wore a white thin cotton coat with a corset, and a white water-brushed jeans perfectly highlighted the tight curve of the long legs of the buttocks. It only looked like the age of thirteen or four years old, and the bear gull had no development.
When the girl ran over, she brought a faint girl body fragrance, and the reddish short hair had a refreshing and energetic feeling.
"Elder Brother Garen, you are passing by, why not sit up?"The girl is another daughter of 舅舅, Phelia. Unlike Lombard, Felicia has always been passionate about Garen. Perhaps this is because Garen used to like to play with children.
"I didn't see Felia at all."Garen smiled and reached for the girl's little nose. "How was your hair cut? ”
"I am learning martial arts now."The girl made a basic move.
"What?"
“Entertaining guests at home, they are talking about complicated things, it’s boring anyway, Elder Brother Garen, come up with me to play?”Feria candle Garen's arm shook.
"Forget it, don't bother to talk about things at home."
"And, Dad heard that you were accepted as an apprentice by the Baiyun Museum, and it was very unhappy for this."Felicia lowered her voice. "Dad said, I don't want you to learn martial arts to waste time. It is enough to learn a little self-defense. It is impossible to get all the energy into it. That is a waste of time. ”
Garen frowned. "I thought I would be happy."
