Chapter 223 Calling Uncle Ren
Chapter 223. Calling Uncle Ren
Seeing that the two looked sympathetic to each other, everyone felt chills, thinking that one Rong Yi would be difficult enough to deal with, and with the addition of Ren Ping, the nine of them would not be able to stay together in the future.

Su Rui rolled his eyes: "Are you two asking for advice? Since you are both bosom friends, I don't think there is any need to take this question again."

"That won't work, one size is one size."

Rong Yi immediately rejected this suggestion and looked at Ren Ping expectantly.

Ren Ping smiled: "Senior Brother Rong left a total of three flaws in this imitation. In addition to the material selection mentioned just now, there are two more. One is technique and the other is shape."

"Let's talk about techniques first. As we all know, Master Ju Ming was born in a coastal area. The carving school he learned since childhood tends to be from Fujian Province. It is called 'Fupai Carving Technique' in the industry,"

"The typical feature is to use a deeper knife when making rough embryos to make it more layered. It seems that the light and shadow effects are more prominent, which is different from other genres,"

"Brother Rong used the 'Ningzhou carving method' to make this imitation, which focuses on detailed textures, but is slightly inferior in layers and light and shadow effects,"

"If you don't believe it, you can take a closer look. Which Guan Gong statue looks more vivid under the same sunlight?"

Before he finished speaking, someone had already placed two statues of Guan Gong on the front cover of the car. They were parallel to each other and both faced the sun at a 45-degree angle.

At first it wasn't obvious, but as long as you moved the angle a little, you could tell that Qi Wulei's genuine product had deeper light and shadow layers, and it looked more vivid.

Rong Yi's imitation is slightly inferior in terms of light perception, but the texture on the light-facing surface is more delicate. It cannot be said that the two are superior and the other is inferior, but the techniques are different.

Everyone was secretly stunned when they saw it, thinking that such a subtle difference in techniques would be really difficult for non-professionals to distinguish, and it was really difficult for these two people, one could do it and the other could see it.

"What about the difference in shape? The size and posture of these two Guan Gong statues look exactly the same?"

"Look again."

More than a dozen pairs of eyes of the people looked together for a long time, and some even took out the precision ruler to measure the size horizontally and vertically, but it was still accurate, and they couldn't help being puzzled.

At this time, Rong Yi already knew that Ren Ping had indeed seen the three flaws he had left, and wanted to reveal the answer when he was excited, but after thinking about it, he decided to leave it to Ren Ping to explain, so that everyone would be convinced.

Just let Ren Ping smile: "What's the size?"

“高28．5，长13．6，宽14．7。”一人想也不想就答道。

"The problem lies in the height, which is also 28, but the high point is different."

Ren Ping did not explain too much, but picked up two statues of Guan Gong respectively and pointed at their highest points with his fingertips.

In this way, it is very intuitive, I can only see that the highest point of Qi Wulei's genuine product is on the Qinglong Yanyue knife behind the Guan Gong statue, which is the point of the knife tip.

But Rong Yi's imitation was on the top of Guan Gong's head, to be precise, it was the head scarf, that is, the ancient hat.

These two points are one after the other. They are originally very close, but the difference is only a few millimeters, making it almost impossible to distinguish with the naked eye.

Everyone's eyes widened in disbelief for a moment, thinking that this is also called a different shape?Even if it is made by the same master, there will be such subtle differences, right?

Ren Ping knew that everyone would have such thoughts, paused, and shook his head:
"You think this is just an accidental difference, but it's not. The highest point is on the tip of the Qinglong Yanyue Sword and on the scarf on Guan Gong's head. The symbolic meanings are completely different and they belong to two shapes."

"This is especially reflected in the works of Master Ju Ming. It is said that he was an apprentice in a Taoist temple in Fuzhou in the early years. Because the local Guan Gong statues were always made with the tip of the knife as the highest point, so he also followed the learned Come on, in fact, I only know what it is and don’t know why it is.”

"It was only later that I found out that Guan Gong was famous for his two characters of 'righteousness' and 'wu' all his life. The point of the knife is the highest point of respect for his martial power, and he is regarded as a martial sage. The high point of the scarf is the Worship its righteousness and be regarded as a god of righteousness. Although the two are only slightly different in shape, they must not be confused."

"Of course, Master Ju Ming has both kinds of works, but the one that Senior Brother Qi bought at the auction was obviously the former, and Senior Brother Rong made a replica of the latter in order to compare with Senior Brother Qi. "

Hearing the words, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, and now they couldn't believe it or not.

Rong Yi burst out laughing again. It was obvious that once he pointed out the three flaws, Ren Ping, the only confidant he met in his life, was the real deal.

Just when he was about to announce, suddenly, another laugh came from behind his head.

It turned out that just now everyone was engrossed in staring at the two statues of Guan Gong, but they didn't notice that there were already many people standing behind them, looking at them with great interest.

"dad!"

"grandfather!"

"Uncle Rong, when did you come here?"

Seeing the other party coming, everyone turned around and saluted.

The visitors were none other than the elders of the Nine Families. In addition to the heads of the family, Rong Qiancheng, the older generation such as Qi Heng and Su Minghan were also present, which showed how much they attached importance to this Arhat Meeting.

But the most conspicuous among them is not them, but another middle-aged man with an unfamiliar face. His facial features are sharp and angular, and his jaw has a slight beard. Although his face is full of smiles, it gives people a sense of oppression. .

The most important thing is that he is standing in the middle of Rong Qiancheng and others, as if he is the main seat, and the sudden laughter just now was also made by him.

Although the young children are not proficient in the professional field, they have been exposed to it for so many years, and they have developed a good ability to observe words and demeanor. When they see this, they don't know that this must be a person with a great background.

But what kind of person is it that makes all the elders of the Nine Families become honored guests?And it's still on an occasion like the Arhat Club?
"Good eyesight! One can imitate brilliantly, and the other can see clearly, Mr. Rong, you really have quite a few young talents under your wing."

At this moment, all the elders had already come forward, and the strange man smiled at Rong Qiancheng.

These words were obviously praising Ren Ping and Rong Yi, but Rong Qiancheng couldn't be happy when he heard it.

They all saw the scene just now. It's gratifying that Ren Ping has amazing eyesight, but the setting of Rong Yi, a master of forgery, cannot be counted as a bonus.

Coupled with the fact that Qi Wulei's children are not good at learning and only know how to be jealous, how can they have any brilliance on the faces of these old guys?
Seeing the resentful expression on Rong Yi's face, Rong Qiancheng couldn't help but feel sullen, thinking that he is also considered the number one figure in Nanling's industry, how could he give birth to such a son who is obsessed with fraud?
But at least he didn't feel embarrassed today, so he let him go first.

Now turning to Qi Wulei and the others: "What were you doing just now?"

The reprimand in the tone is obvious.

All the young disciples have always been in awe of Rong Qiancheng, and their respect for him is even higher than that of their parents and elders. They couldn't help but shuddered. After a while, someone flinched and said:

"I didn't do much. I just heard that Su Rui was engaged. First I congratulated her. Secondly, I saw that Mr. Ren is also an industry insider, so I discussed with him."

"That's right, it's just a discussion, Senior Brother Rong can testify for us,"

Qi Wulei followed closely: "Everyone saw it just now, this Mr. Ren..."

"What Mr. Ren? Uncle Ren!"

Halfway through the conversation, he was abruptly interrupted.

Qi Wulei was stunned for a moment, and when he took a closer look, it was his own grandfather Qi Heng who was speaking, and he couldn't help being stunned: "Grandpa, what did you say?"

"I said Uncle Ren, don't mess up the seniority!"

Qi Heng repeated it again, and then glared at him.

As a result, not only Qi Wulei, but also Qi Xiaoshuang and other young people were stunned, wondering what kind of generation this is, Uncle Ren Ping, isn't it Aunt Su Rui?
Rong Yi's jaw dropped even more, thinking that he had just made a close friend, and he was planning to take over. Now, he would become his uncle directly?

Where is the reasoning for this TM?

Only Ren Ping knows in his heart that with his current status in the industry, he is enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with Rong Qiancheng, and he is naturally the uncle of these young children, this is one of them.

Second, during the entrance examination of the Spring and Autumn League that day, apart from Rong Qiancheng and Su Minghan, the elders of the other nine families headed by Qi Heng had made things difficult for him, which can be regarded as a small enmity.

But now, the fate of the entire Nine Great Families is in their own hands, how dare they admit their mistakes?

Not to mention uncle, it's already very reserved to let Qi Wulei and the others call him grandpa without elevating himself to a higher level!
