Chapter 222
Chapter 222. Master of Counterfeiting
The dignified son of Rong Qiancheng, the heir of Rong Luxing, the head of the Nine Families, actually likes to fake?

This incident is not only unimaginable, but also appalling. If it gets out, it may even affect the reputation of Rong Lu Xing. After all, the auction business itself must not be even the slightest bit fake.

Ren Ping was stunned on the one hand, but also amused on the other.

According to Su Rui, this Rong Yi has a shrewd mind and has shown his talent in antique appraisal since he was a child, which once made all the elders lament that there are successors.

However, after he punched a hole in a fake gadget once, he suddenly became a little crooked, and became crazy about antique counterfeiting.

After more than ten years of "thousands of tempering", this brother Rong's counterfeiting skills are now so perfect that sometimes even the elders of the nine families can't tell the difference.

And he also has a special habit, which is to use this unique skill to test the children of the other nine families, such as taking an authentic product from others to imitate it, and then asking others to identify the authenticity.

If you read it correctly, you will return the original, but if you read it wrong, you will be embarrassed, and the real product is a lesson from the eyes.

The brothers and sisters of the Qi family, Su Rui and others have all been fooled by him, but it is not easy for the family members to tear their faces.

Secondly, even if the trouble came to the elders, Rong Yi could have used the words of honing the eyesight of all the younger ones to get over it, or he might have to be scolded.

In these years, Rong Yi has used this kind of hooliganism to deceive people many times, and always enjoys it, but the other nine disciples inevitably feel lingering fear, and gradually respect him more and more.

"I said, why do you people leave your good family business alone? It turned out that he was killed by this wolf who broke into the sheepfold?"

After figuring out these backgrounds, Ren Ping couldn't help joking, but in fact, he also realized in his heart that Rong Qiancheng, the patriarch, is not easy. With such a wonderful son, can he not worry?

Su Rui rolled his eyes at him, thinking that the children of the Nine Families are not doing their jobs properly, although it cannot be said that they must be vulnerable, but at least there is a certain relationship, but this matter cannot be said on the surface, otherwise it will be bad for everyone.

Immediately snorted: "Don't be complacent, you will suffer in the future."

"why?"

"Don't forget, you are also one of the nine disciples of the Nine Great Families. This senior brother Rong is fond of making fake lives, so wouldn't he cause trouble for you? Besides, you just dismantled his fake wood carving, which is also unique."

Ren Ping was taken aback: "Have you never seen it right before?"

Su Rui shook his head, his face was very ugly, obviously he had lost a lot of money when dealing with Rong Yi's test before.

Ren Ping also thought that the fake wooden statue of Guan Gong just now was indeed a fake one, and he almost didn't even realize that Rong Yi's counterfeiting skills were quite good.

I just don't know if it will come in handy in the future.

"Brother Rong, you knew before that I got this Guan Gong portrait, so you made a fake one in advance?"

"Haha, you reacted very quickly. I originally wanted to test you, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing today."

"But I haven't shown it to you, how did you imitate it?"

"What's so difficult? Zhu Ming's portrait of Guan Gong is very famous, and there have been many of them on the market before. I follow the image and it's always pretty close. Didn't you see it just now?"

At this time, Rong Yi had already taken out the genuine wood carving that had just been hidden, and compared it with the fake one.

When all the disciples saw it, they were really lifelike, almost as if they were carved out of the same mold.

Rong Yi's face was filled with pride, and he was obviously very satisfied with his craftsmanship.

Only Qi Wulei couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that the thing belonged to him, and the fake product just passed his hands, so he didn't realize it at all, but Ren Ping quickly noticed it.

Isn't it obvious that one has good eyesight?

"Forget it, you don't have to guess the auction price, I just admit defeat."

After casually dropping a word, Qi Wulei looked uninterested, turned around and left.

But the next moment, he was stopped by someone: "Wait a minute, we don't lose this game. Why are you anxious?"

Turning around to see, it turned out to be his younger sister Qi Xiaoshuang.

He was startled when he heard the words, and then came to his senses:

That's right, of the three questions just now, Ren Ping's answers to the first two were more or less flattering, and the last one was messed up by Rong Yi, which disrupted the situation.

The point is, this matter is not trivial, and it also involves Qi Taixing's reputation. How can I admit defeat so easily?

He didn't leave now, he stood aside and listened to Ren Ping:
"Didn't Brother Rong also have a question to test me? What is it?"

Before Rong Yi could answer, he saw a few young disciples whispering something in his ear, presumably saying that this competition is very important, it is related to Su Rui's life, so please do his best.

Rong Yi was very unhappy when he heard this, and seemed unwilling to get involved in this matter, but in order to defeat Ren Ping, he didn't say anything, and immediately picked up the fake wooden statue of Guan Gong:

"I didn't prepare any other questions, just this one."

"What do you mean? Didn't I already answer it? Am I wrong?"

"No, you're right,"

Rong Yi's face showed admiration: "I did make this imitation out of ancient Yisumu wood. This kind of wood comes from overseas. The imitation rosewood is the most similar. You can see it at a glance. It's really amazing."

"However, the selection of materials is only one of them. When I made this thing, there were other flaws. If you can see all of them, you can be considered as the answer."

As he spoke, he still handed over the wood carving to Ren Ping.

Seeing that he had such a backhand who deliberately made things difficult, everyone was secretly happy, even Su Rui couldn't help frowning, and stopped Ren Ping:

"Brother Rong, what are you doing? Is it difficult for others? He has already seen that it is fake, so there is so much to say, or I will just find some fakes for you to see, and if you can't see all the flaws, you will lose." ?”

Rong Yi thought it was okay to do this, but it seemed that he was not good at dealing with Su Rui, a wild girl, so he didn't know what to say for a while.

Everyone on the side was busy trying to smooth things over, saying things like "It's just a test, don't get angry", "Senior Brother Rong is just exchanging ideas with Ren Ping" and so on.

Su Rui was so angry that her brows stood on end, and she pointed at everyone's noses:

"If you keep messing around here, believe it or not, I'll immediately file a complaint with Uncle Rong and the others? They also exchange ideas. Do you want me to ask Senior Brother Rong to exchange ideas with you?"

When everyone saw that she was so angry, especially when she proposed to let Rong Yilai compete with them one by one, they immediately lost their courage, and they all stopped talking resentfully.

On the contrary, Ren Ping laughed: "Don't worry, I think Brother Rong is just obsessed with it and cannot extricate himself from it. Wouldn't it be a pity if no one appreciates such a superb imitation technique?"

Su Rui was taken aback when he heard that: "Fake is fake, what's there to appreciate? Could it be considered an art?"

"Of course, some people make fakes for profit, so it's not art, it's a low-level way of deceiving people, but some people don't,"

Ren Ping said while holding up the fake wood carving:
"Senior Brother Rong not only chose different woods when forging this item, but also modified the craftsmanship and shape. As he said, he deliberately left flaws."

"This is not counted as counterfeiting, but imitation, because firstly, it is not for deceiving people, and secondly, it is not for profit. It is just a personal preference. In essence, it is the same as some people like to copy famous calligraphy and paintings. Is this illegal too?"

"I would like to ask everyone, besides joking with your own family, have you ever used the things that Senior Brother Rong copied to deceive others?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone fell silent, thinking that with Rong Yi's status, of course it would be impossible to deceive people with his family's belongings, otherwise Rong Qiancheng would not recognize his son, let alone the Jiu family could not tolerate him.

But it is too far-fetched to say that he is not a fake based on this.

This Ren Ping was clearly flattering.

Rongyi himself was extremely excited, with a face full of orgasm from being flattered. He strode forward and grabbed Ren Ping's shoulders:

"Mr. Ren! It's hard to find a bosom friend in high mountains and flowing waters. Over the years, you are the first person to understand me!"
