close mad son-in-law

"I..." Chu Xiong seemed to want to explain, but suddenly his head tilted and he became dizzy.

fainted?

Xu Qiang laughed. As a brilliant doctor, he could tell that Chu Xiong was not sick at all. How could he faint when he was not sick or disaster?
Clearly pretending to be dizzy to escape.

"Let's go quickly, send Boss Chu to the hospital..." Xu Qiang knew that Chu Xiong was pretending to be dizzy, but the others didn't know, they lifted up hurriedly, and rushed out in a swarm.

They all forgot to take back the Zigang jade in the hands of Deputy Curator Ouyang.

"Forget it, we'll ask him when he comes back from the hospital!" Deputy curator Ouyang sighed.

In his opinion, Zigangyu is a clue. If he can track it down, it is very likely to catch the thief who stole the museum and recover the stolen goods.

But now Chu Xiong is dizzy, everything can only be postponed.

"Xu Qiang, do you have any plans for the future?" Deputy curator Ouyang asked Xu Qiang while carefully putting away Zi Gangyu.

"no!"

"Since there is no you, come with me! Let's go inside and have a look..." Deputy curator Ouyang pointed to the hall not far away, and told Xu Qiang that the best things are in the hall.

Those who set up stalls outside are not qualified to enter the hall.

With that said, the two had already entered the hall.

"Ouyang, you're late today..." Entering the hall and walking to the left, I met a group of seven or eight people who seemed to be discussing something, and when I saw the deputy curator Ouyang coming, I immediately got out of the car to say hello.

"Actually, I came here a long time ago. I went around outside and met an interesting kid. Come, Xu Qiang, let me introduce you..." Deputy curator Ouyang greeted Xu Qiang, and introduced seven or eight people in front of him.

I said that Xu Qiang is a child, because the group of people in front of me are all very old, and the youngest one is also over 45 in Xu Qiang's opinion.

Compared to them, Xu Qiang, who is less than thirty years old, is really a child.

What's more, Xu Qiang looks much younger than his actual age. If you don't know his actual age, you will think he is a boy in his early twenties.

However, in fact, Xu Qiang is almost thirty.

After some introductions, everyone's topic returned to the topic they had just discussed, which was a pier placed on the ground in front of them, the Xiulong pier.

Xiulong pier, in simple and straightforward words, is the chair used by the royal family in the past feudal era, and it is a stool used to make it.

The owner of the Xiulong Pier is an old man surnamed Lu in front of him, Lu Kuifeng. He originally owned three Xiulong Piers, two of which have been auctioned off by the auction house.

Only this one was returned, on the grounds that it was doubtful.

"Three embroidered dragon piers, only the height of this one does not match the other two, it is about one centimeter shorter..." Lu Kuifeng said with a sigh.

About one centimeter shorter?

Xu Qiang's heart moved, there must be something wrong with being one centimeter short.

Embroidered dragon pier, as a royal product, of course strives for perfection when making it. If it is a complete set, the size requirements must be very strict.

Tall, short, fat, and thin must be basically the same, and it must be difficult to distinguish with the naked eye. If the eye is one centimeter shorter, it is either not the same, or there is a problem.

"I'm sure it's the same as the other two, but it's one centimeter shorter..." Lu Kuifeng said very distressed.

"Ouyang, show me!" Lu Kuifeng said to Deputy Curator Ouyang.

"Lao Lu, you know that I am only good at appraising porcelain and ancient cold weapons, and your embroidered dragon pier is a stone carving..." Deputy curator Ouyang shook his head.

The embroidered dragon pier in front of me is carved from stone, and there are some traces of wind and rain, which are obviously used in gazebos or other outdoor venues.

"Don't be modest, I remember you are also very good at stone carving!" Lu Kuifeng said with a smile.

"I can only take a look for you, I can't be sure!" Ouyang couldn't shirk.

He squatted down, held a magnifying glass, and looked around for about a quarter of an hour.

When Deputy Curator Ouyang was watching, Xu Qiang was also watching carefully.

The Xiulong Pier is small up and down and big in the middle. It looks like a bulging belly. The surface is carved with very exquisite dragon-shaped patterns, which are full of traces of time.

"As far as my personal opinion is concerned, I'm more inclined to be a genuine product!" After reading it, the deputy curator Ouyang gave the answer he saw.

"Since you think it is genuine, how can you explain that the height is one centimeter less?" Lu Kuifeng asked the deputy curator Ouyang. The only problem now is the height.

Deputy curator Ouyang shook his head, but he had no idea.

"Xu Qiang, what do you think?" Suddenly the deputy curator Ouyang saw Xu Qiang, and thought of Xu Qiang picking up the fish gut sword outside.

Thinking of this, Deputy Curator Ouyang was full of envy.

Among China's famous top ten magical weapons, who wouldn't want one?
The problem is that there are only ten pieces in total. Even if all of them are alive, they can only be owned by a very small number of people. What's more, there are only two pieces of the ten ancient magic weapons before the fish intestine sword appeared, and they are all kept in museums.

Xu Qiang's Fish Intestine Sword is probably the only one that is known to be privately owned.

Xu Qiang's ability to pick up the Leaky Fish Intestine Sword is enough to prove that Xu Qiang has a certain vision, but he doesn't know Xu Qiang, what is Xu Qiang good at?
So he tentatively asked Xu Qiang to see if Xu Qiang could see it.

"You are all seniors, you eat more salt than I eat rice, everyone agrees, I have no objection!" Xu Qiang shook his head and said.

It wouldn't do him any good to get involved, so he didn't want to participate.

"Young people must dare to fight hard. You can say it boldly. It doesn't have to be accurate. The key is to have your own opinion and your own point of view!" Looking at Xu Qiang's expression, Ouyang, who is an old fox, The deputy curator figured it out immediately, Xu Qiang must have seen something.

Not only did he see it, but everyone else saw it too.

"Do you really want to tell me?"

"Of course I will!"

"Well, I'll just talk about my opinion. I think Xiulongdun is true, and it's not true!" Xu Qiang thought for a while and decided to speak.

"What is true and not true?"

"Really, the embroidered dragon pier in front of me is indeed the embroidered dragon pier used by the royal family of the Ming Dynasty. This is undeniable, and I believe all the seniors have also seen it!" Xu Qiang continued.

"You don't need to say what we can see, you can tell something that we didn't see, and something new!" Ouyang, deputy director of the curator, urged.

"Then I'll talk about something new, and it's what seniors are most concerned about. The height issue. Senior Lu has already said just now that the height of this embroidered dragon pier is about one centimeter shorter than the others, right?" Xu Qiang gestured on the embroidered dragon pier.

Everyone nods!

The key is the height issue, but there has been no conclusion.

As long as the height problem cannot be explained clearly, it is difficult to determine whether it is true or false.

Because the embroidered dragon pier is a royal product, no flaws are allowed, and the difference in height is a very obvious flaw.

If it was sent to the emperor like this, the person in charge would probably be beheaded.

"My point of view is that the difference is caused later. When it was first made, the size of the embroidered dragon piers must be the same, and the difference is caused by man-made later!" Xu Qiang made a conclusion.

When he was explaining to the crowd by gesturing at Xiulong Pier, he suddenly paused because he smelled a very faint smell.

At first I thought it was coming from elsewhere, so I didn't pay much attention.

But soon Xu Qiang discovered that it was not coming from elsewhere, but from Xiulong Pier, and it was continuous.

The stone material used to carve the embroidered dragon pier is very common and cannot have a taste. Xu Qiang explained while thinking, why does the embroidered dragon pier have a taste?

"Why was it man-made later, please explain!"

"Okay, everyone can see that the embroidered dragon pier in front of you, no matter its material or style, is destined to be used only in the open air, or in a gazebo, or in some other open-air venues!" Xu Qiang pointed to the wind and rain on the embroidered dragon pier. trace.

Everyone nodded, agreeing with Xu Qiang's statement.

They are also experts, of course they can see this.

"Since it is outdoors, it is inevitable that it will often be exposed to wind and sun, and even bumps and bumps. It is inevitable that some damage will happen!"

Everyone nodded again, what Xu Qiang said made sense.

"As for this embroidered dragon pier, I guess it was damaged due to an accident, the bottom part should be damaged, but the damage is not very big..." Xu Qiang continued.

"Impossible, we have seen it just now, the bottom of the embroidery dragon pier is complete, and there is no trace of repair!" Someone immediately refuted.

Before Xu Qiang arrived, they had been watching for a long time.

Turn it over and turn it around, and you can see everything clearly.

If there are traces of repair, even if one or two people cannot see it, it is impossible to escape everyone's eyes, and it will definitely be seen.

"I know there's no sign of patching!"

"Without repair, where are the traces of damage?"

"Old seniors, please listen to me. Look at the style of Xiulongdun. Does it look like an egg standing upright with the top and bottom flattened?"

Everyone nodded. The stone-carved embroidered dragon pier in front of them was indeed what Xu Qiang said, like an egg standing upright and then flattened up and down.

That is to say, the belly is big and the upper and lower are small.

"My guess is that after the bottom was damaged, a master stone carver figured out a way to cut off a layer of one centimeter thick!" Xu Qiang said his guess.

"If the bottom is cut to a thickness of one centimeter, the pattern on the embroidered dragon pier will definitely be cut off, but look now, the pattern on the embroidered dragon pier is complete!" Lu Kuifeng shook his head and said.

"Senior Lu, I want to ask you a question. Is the size of the bottom of this embroidered dragon pier different from other embroidered dragon pier?"

"No, the size is the same!"

"That's right. The old dragon pier is like an egg, with two small ends and a large middle. If you add a layer from the bottom, the new bottom will definitely be larger than the original bottom. That is to say, the bottom of the new embroidered dragon pier is thicker than the original bottom. Come on, you can wear off the pattern on the lower half of the embroidered dragon pier, compress the height of the original pattern a little, and re-carve it completely!"

Xu Qiang's point of view is very clear, the pattern is complete, but it has been squashed a little bit, because the squashed range is not large, it is difficult to be detected.

It was also because it was difficult to detect, so a one-centimeter-thick piece was cut off from the bottom of the Xiulong pier. No one except Xu Qiang thought of it.

After hearing Xu Qiang's words, everyone fell silent.

Then squatted down, squatted around the Xiulong pier, and looked carefully.

"Old Lu, do you have the detailed data of the other two Xiulong piers?"

"Yes!" Lu Kuifeng quickly found out the data.

Then everyone found a ruler and started measuring on the embroidered road pier.

Xu Qiang watched from the side, very indifferently.

"Why are you not in a hurry?" Deputy curator Ouyang asked with a smile.

"Why should I be in a hurry?"

"They are verifying your guess, don't you worry about being wrong?"

Looking at the calm Xu Qiang, Ouyang, deputy director of the curator, felt a little emotional, they are really old and will be surpassed by young people!
