Chapter 8: A Wonderful Flaw

Zhou Xuan's sudden words made Uncle Liu stunned.

Following Wu Cheng's eyebrows jumped, and his expression changed.

Chen Sanyan and Xu Wangcai looked at each other for a moment, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

Zhou Xuan didn't know who Li Kuanfu was, but his mind flashed a moment of inspiration and he couldn't help but say it out.

He said so casually, but the other four people had their own feelings and different expressions.

Uncle Liu was stunned for a moment and then picked up the Chicken Stone again and looked carefully. Finally, he turned his eyes on the Chicken Stone's belly mark, frowned and stared at it, looked at it, took out a magnifying glass from his bag, and observed it carefully at the mark on his belly.

While looking, he followed the handwriting on the mark with his hands. After a long time, he sighed, put down the magnifying glass and said bitterly: "Old Wu, I'm out of sight!"

Wu Cheng's face changed drastically. He grabbed the chicken stone and looked at the light carefully. After a while, he still couldn't see anything. He frowned and asked, "Old Liu, what do you mean? I even showed it to Old Man Shen from Jiliuzhai in Yangzhou. His appraisal is also certain, which is Yang Xuan's work."

Wu Cheng lived almost sixty years and had been in this industry for forty or fifty years. He had a superb antique skills. In addition, he had previously identified a character like Taishan Beidou in the industry, so he bought it. He was always proud of himself, and Uncle Liu's words naturally made him feel like he was thumping.

Uncle Liu shook his head and said, "Old Wu, look at the characters on the mark and observe the brushwork and shape lines on the characters on the mark."

Wu Cheng took a magnifying glass and looked at the mark on the abdomen of Ji Gongshi with a dark face.

Uncle Liu stared at Zhou Xuan with his eyes full of doubts.

The "Li Kuanfu" that Zhou Xuan suddenly came out of his mouth just now was not an ordinary person. The domestic sculpture industry is known as the King of Southern and Northern Coins. The King of Southern and Northern Coins is the climax of the Taishan Beidou in the folk sculpture industry. But he also sighed that Li Kuanfu was not as good as this one. However, Li Kuanfu's carving skills reached the pinnacle, but he was strange. He never met this circle and enjoyed himself. His works were never circulated. Therefore, no one knew about him by the people, and only a few people in the industry knew about him.

Li Kuanfu likes to imitate works by famous artists in ancient and modern times. Because of his extraordinary skills, his imitation works are almost real, but he also has a characteristic, which is that he will leave a small feature on the imitation works to show them as imitation.

Uncle Liu is a veteran in the antique industry and knows about Li Kuanfu. Therefore, when he heard Zhou Xuan say this, he immediately became suspicious and then prosecuted Ji Gongshi, and he could see the flaws!

Wu Cheng looked under the magnifying glass for a long time, and his expression was hesitant, and he thought about it and handed it to Xu Wangcai: "Old Xu, take a look again."

Xu Wangcai had already been identified in Yangzhou, and Uncle Liu's words made him a little doubtful. After taking the rooster stone, he carefully looked at the mark.

Xu Wang had just read it for a while but didn't feel any flaws. Whether it was the mark, the stone, the color, the appearance, they were undoubtedly Yang Xuan's works. He smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Old Liu, no matter how you look at it, I think this is the authentic one. Brother Chen, take a look!"

Chen Sanyan took the look at the face and looked at the color, and then checked the mark. Finally, he shook his head and said, "I think it's the real one, haha, Uncle Liu, tell me!"

Uncle Liu sighed again and said, "This work, whether it is the stone's year, color, or carving skills, is the best choice. The mark is just like Yang Xuan's font. At first, I was sure that this was Yang Xuan's handed down work, but later when this little brother Zhou Xuan said the words "Li Kuanfu, 2009", I was surprised, and then I looked at the mark carefully. There was indeed a flaw, but it was too coincidental. Even the top appraiser might fall into the game. Look at the mark carefully and look at the word "jade" in the mark "yuxuan"!"

Xu Wangcai, Chen Sanyan, and Wu Cheng all squeezed their heads to observe the mark of the rooster stone again.

Yang Xuan, whose courtesy name is Yuxuan, was born in the Kangxi period. He has outstanding statue skills and is known as the founder of Shoushan stone sculptures. Most of the marks in his works contain the two words "Yuxuan".

After receiving the prompt from Uncle Liu, the three of them finally saw the special features in the font of the imprint.

Wu Cheng's face was immediately white and gray, and he was stunned.

Uncle Liu sighed: "I know Li Kuanfu. He is arrogant, but he does have hard skills. The works he imitated have one feature. Although the works can be fake and real, the subtle characteristics he made are also a distinctive mark. This high-quality Shoushantian yellow rooster carving has no flaws in its vintage color and carving knife skills. The only flaw is in the famous "Yuxuan" record that is left."

After hearing Uncle Liu's words were brilliant, Zhou Xuan also approached and listened to him.

Uncle Liu was much more kind to Zhou Xuan at this time, nodded to him, and then said, "Actually, if you look closely, the word "Yuan" in the famous record of 'Yuanxuan' is a flaw. I guess Li Kuanfu should have the word "Wang Xuan". Although Wang Xuan and Yu Xuan are only a little different, outsiders naturally understand that this is a imitation screen, that point."

Uncle Liu sighed and shook his head: "That point is extremely small and no one will think of it, so it is not easy to see it at all. But if you get a point, you can still see it. Both the brushwork and the knife skills are far from Li Kuanfu, so I think someone should add it."

In fact, it is not necessary for Uncle Liu to say so clearly at this time. Wu Cheng, Xu Wangcai and Chen Sanyan both understood that they were all lucky people in this industry. As long as you mention it briefly, you will know immediately.

Only Zhou Xuan doesn’t understand, but Zhou Xuan doesn’t want to speak out again, just listen.

"The stone value of this Shoushan rooster carving itself is between 700,000 yuan, and Li Kuanfu's knife skills should be around 1.5 million yuan. Old Wu bought it back for 3.6 million yuan, and the price would be about 2 million yuan!"

Wu Cheng was stunned for a while, and exhaled a long sigh and said, "I didn't expect that Zongheng had been alive for most of his life, but he was pecked by a geese when he was old. Let's not do it!"

I was so cold that I was very upset.

Uncle Liu advised: "Old Wu, I don't need to tell you about the risks in our industry. It's just a bit of heaven and hell. In fact, two million yuan is not fatal to you. Just think about it and learn a lesson. It's really like living until you get old. If it weren't for Brother Zhou Xuan today, we would have been cheated?"
