Chapter 430: Fraud (Part II)
Li Yiyan heard the sound, excited, held Xiao Yu'er's hand tightly and said: "Poor master, if you can help me find it back, I am willing to give five hundred taels as a reward!" ”
When Wang Peng heard this, he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "This poor master, your kindness is in your heart." However, even if we catch the boy who cheated money, wouldn't it be even more troublesome if people bite back and say that we have exchanged the real handiwork of others with a fake. It seems that this dumb loss is doomed! ”
Xiao Yu'er smiled: "That's not necessarily. He looked at the people around him, and then said, "This is not the place to talk, please talk inside." ”
So Xiao Yu'er dispersed the crowd and followed the shopkeeper into the back room. I got some pen and paper and started working overnight. Although Wang Peng didn't know how to paint, he also stood next to him and refused to leave. When Xiao Yu'er saw it, she couldn't help nodding and said, "It's just right for Brother Wang to stay, you take some pen and ink first." Let's go to the side to draw red and practice calligraphy!
Wang Peng was puzzled at first: "I can write plum blossom seal characters with both hands, it seems that I don't need to paint red like the naughty boy when he was enlightened, right?" After Xiao Yu'er finished explaining to him, it suddenly dawned on him, and happily hooked the outline of the handwriting with a fine brush, and then traced it red.
Of course, Li Yiyan accompanied everyone, but his task was mainly to supervise Xiao Yu'er and prevent him from smearing oil on the soles of his feet, and he didn't bother to pay attention to what everyone was busy with.
Everyone was busy until it was dark, and then it was completed, and Xiao Yu'er was stretching a long waist, glancing at Li who was "kowtowing" next to him, and then went to the bed in the inner room to catch up on sleep.
When I woke up, it was almost noon. Wang Peng, Li Yiyan and others had already come to the bookstore to wait. Xiao Yu'er washed up, and under the escort of Li Yiyan, he led everyone to the Drunken Immortal Tower. I saw that upstairs and downstairs had already gathered celebrities in the Duanzhou calligraphy and painting circles. Everyone heard that Li Yiyan was gone. I bought a fake with a lot of money, and I can't help but wonder what he did today. So there are those who gloat, those who come to learn lessons, and those who come to take the opportunity to improve their ability to appreciate calligraphy and painting. In short, it is full of friends, winning friends, and thirty tables. It has long been full, and everyone is talking about it, and they can't guess what medicine Li is selling in the gourd.
It's noisy. I saw Li Yiyan accompany a young man into the restaurant, and suddenly there was silence, and hundreds of eyes were focused.
Li couldn't help but be embarrassed under the hot gaze. So he quietly stabbed Bao Zheng behind him. Only then did Xiao Yu'er clear his throat. He said: "Everyone, I invited you here today just to burn the fake paintings that Boss Li bought and burn them!" ”
As soon as Xiao Yu'er's words fell, the guests in the room were in an uproar and began to discuss. Xiao Yu'er waved his hand again and said, "Everyone, please be quiet!" ”
After everyone stopped speaking, Xiao Yu'er continued: "Boss Li's move. It can be said that he has good intentions, and he himself lost 10,000 taels of silver. But I still think about everyone here. In order to prevent everyone from being deceived in the future, he wants to display the fakes he has purchased today for everyone to see, and together they will discern the tricks of the swindler, so that his tricks will be invisible in the future. Boss Li wants to use his white silver to pour an alarm bell for everyone here, so noble, it can be said that there is no one before and no one will come after! ”
Everyone was infected by Xiao Yuer's impassioned and passionate speech, and applauded together. Li had no choice but to blush and greet everyone, but he didn't feel it was a taste in his heart.
After a while, Xiao Yu'er shouted loudly: "The fake will be displayed below, please take a look." On the fake painting-"
Immediately, two guys from the bookstore pulled a scroll out and walked into the arena to show it to the guests. When the guests saw this, they immediately swarmed up and immediately surrounded the front of the painting.
Xiao Yu'er was excited when she saw it, and the scene was a little out of control, so she used her internal strength to roar twice. These voices were really extraordinary, and they immediately shook the audience. Xiao Yu'er took the opportunity to say: "Everyone, don't be crowded, everyone will take turns watching one table after another in order, and the others will start from the first table, and the others will return to their seats for the time being." ”
Under his watchful eye, everyone had to obediently walk back to their seats. In front of the scroll, only the guests at the first table were suddenly left. I saw them slowly looking at it, and discussing while watching: "Look at this painting, the brushwork and ink are all new, and at first glance it is a fake!" ”
"Brother, come and smell it, there is a smell of sulfur on the paper, which is obviously used to smoke the paper and make it look antique!"
"No, I think it was by placing the scroll on the bamboo curtain and then slowly baking it underneath to achieve this effect. You smell it, there's some smoke up there."
"You're not right, I think it's black tea to dye the paper into the old color first, and then come to paint, you smell it, there is still some fragrance of tea leaves on it!" ――
For a while, the field became a competition of counterfeiting. Li next to him heard it with a burst of red and white on his face, and he almost jumped off the stairs.
Finally, under the repeated urging of the people below, the guests at the first table reluctantly walked back to their seats. So the guests at the second table performed again, talking endlessly about the method of counterfeiting. There were a few insiders, and they also introduced some methods to identify the authenticity, which won the applause of the audience, only to hear that Li Yiyan's face was white and red.
When the guests at each table watched it, everyone felt that the trip was worthwhile, and their appreciation and ability to distinguish calligraphy and painting were raised to a higher level. And Li Yanyan, who has made outstanding contributions to this, has long been so ashamed that he almost found a crack in the ground to get into.
Xiao Yu'er saw that everyone had finished reading it, so he shouted loudly: "Go to the brazier!" Immediately two more men brought a copper tripod, and inside it was charcoal that burned red. For a while, the temperature upstairs seemed to have risen a lot, and everyone's enthusiasm was ignited again.
Xiao Yu'er continued: "In order to express his determination to oppose counterfeiting, in order to prevent fakes from continuing to endanger the world, and in order to avoid any more peers from being deceived, he decided to put this fake painting into Dingzhong and make it disappear. Next, let's ask Boss Li Yiyan to accomplish this feat with his own hands! ”
So, in the midst of a round of applause, Li Yiyan threw two scrolls representing 10,000 taels of silver into the ding with trembling hands. In an instant, it was reduced to a pile of ashes.
Xiao Yuer then announced: "In order to thank you for your appreciation, Boss Li specially prepared a banquet, please drink heartily, and at the same time exchange your feelings and experience in identifying calligraphy and painting, we will record them one by one, and then compile them into a book, spread all over the world, to avoid anyone from being fooled again!" ”
A few guys got the order, and immediately shuttled back and forth like a marquee, serving wine and food. After watching for a long time, everyone was already hungry, so they stopped being polite and began to eat and drink. At this time, the atmosphere was a little warmer than just now.
Xiao Yu'er led Li Yiyan and Wang Peng to toast one by one. Every time he arrived at a table, he asked Wang Peng to record everyone's experience. It seems that he is determined to "sacrifice one of me for the benefit of thousands of people".
This meal, all the guests went home happy. Only Li Yiyan had a sad face, his eyes were like knives, and he stared at Xiao Yu'er fiercely, which had the meaning of killing and then hurrying.
Xiao Yu'er didn't care, and saw that the guests were scattered, so she said: "Haha, I'm finally done with my work, Boss Li, the rest are our own family, and we can't go hungry." Shopkeeper, open another table! ”
Everyone drank until the willow tops on the moon, and then they gave up, and Xiao Yu'er also drank swaying, so under the instruction of Li Yiyan, he was carried by two guys and returned to the bookstore.
The night went uneventful, and the next morning, before the bookstore could open, there was a sharp knock on the door. Xiao Yu'er woke up from her sleep and shouted happily: "Okay, the Lord is here, hurry up and open the door to welcome guests!" ”
Na Li got up early in the morning, heard the knock on the door, couldn't help but be shocked, ran to the door in person, removed the latch, and couldn't wait to open the door.
I saw a large group of people standing outside the door, led by a young man, dressed in a royal blue robe, with a folding fan in his hand early in the morning, and his face was extremely handsome, especially a pair of big eyes, his bones were turning back and forth, and he looked very smart. The latter ones are all dressed as writers, all of them are strong, and their faces are full of tyranny.
Li glanced at the son in front of him, and immediately stepped forward excitedly and grabbed him by the collar, and shouted: "Okay, you thief, you cheated me of my money, and you dare to show up with a swagger, I will see where you are running today!" ”
It turned out that this young man was the one who used that fake to defraud 10,000 taels of silver, and it was no wonder that Li Yiyan wanted to fight with him. But he was not in a hurry, and his face was not afraid. I saw him gently pat Li Yanyan's hand, and said unhurriedly: "Boss Li, I am here to repay your silver today and withdraw my treasure painting." You call yourself a liar when you meet, but why? ”
As he spoke, the family members behind him all rolled up their sleeves, and their faces showed anger. I'm afraid that if that boy gives an order, they will rush up, knock Li Yiyan to the ground, and beat him violently.
Seeing this, Li couldn't help but be shocked and frightened, and quickly let go of his hand and stammered, "Gong-Gong-gongzi, what did you just say?" ”
The boy shook the folding fan in his hand and said, "I'm here to return the silver and get the painting!" ”
When Li heard this, he immediately beat his chest: "Wow! Little fish, this guy can make me miserable! Then, like a gust of wind, he ran to the inner room, and caught out the little fish that was washing his face.
Xiao Yu'er smiled, didn't struggle, and let him do what he wanted. Li yanyan pulled Xiao Yu'er to the outhouse, and then shouted at him angrily: "It's all your good idea, you have to burn that painting." Now that people are taking pictures, I'll take you to make up the numbers! ”
When the boy brother heard this, he immediately showed a look of anger on his face: "What? Have you burned my treasure paintings? That's my heirloom, and I see how you can afford it! (To be continued......)
