Chapter 2787: The Upper Beam Is Not Straight and the Lower Beam Is Crooked

There were several pens, scissors and other things in the green-glazed pottery jar, it was a mess.

"Dad, take this jar back and put it in flowers. I'll buy you a new pen holder later." Ye Qingqing picked up the pottery jar and felt it was a bit rough. There were also a few tiny lines on the mouth of the bottle. It was probably knocked.

"Take it and use it. You don't need to buy a pen holder. I have a lot of them."

Ye Mingcheng went to the third floor and took out an elegant bamboo tube. He poured out the contents of the pottery jar and put them all into the bamboo tube.

"Why do you use the pottery jar as a pen holder when you have a bamboo tube? You're not afraid of breaking it." Ye Qingqing said angrily.

"If it breaks, just throw it away. It doesn't cost money. I bought this bamboo tube for fifty yuan." Ye Mingcheng held the bamboo tube and looked at it carefully. If Ye Qingqing hadn't taken the pottery jar away, he would have been reluctant to use the bamboo tube!

Ye Qingqing grabbed the bamboo tube and carved a picture of green bamboo. She couldn't tell whether it was carved by a famous artist, but she felt that it was probably not. Moreover, this bamboo was also a very common bamboo. You could cut one at random in the mountains and make dozens of bamboo tubes.

"You spent fifty yuan on this broken bamboo tube? Fifty yuan can buy several big bamboos. Dad, I know how Wu Chen got the bad habit of squandering his family. I learned it from you. I learn from the good and the bad. You didn't set a good example for Wu Chen!" Ye Qingqing scolded.

No wonder the upstairs is full of junk. Her father is too easy to fool. He can cheat fifty yuan with a broken bamboo tube. I guess all the junk upstairs was fooled back in this way.

"How can bamboo be compared with this bamboo tube? This is a work of art. Bamboo is just bamboo. Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." Ye Mingcheng corrected.

"Who said this broken bamboo tube is a work of art? Which famous artist made it? This rough workmanship is obviously a piece of junk produced by a machine assembly line. It's a work of art. Humph, don't humiliate a work of art."

Ye Qingqing poured out the contents of the bamboo tube and weighed it a few times. It was light and didn't feel very good. The more she looked at the painting on it, the more she felt it was crudely made. The fifty yuan was wasted.

"There are paintings on it. I think the paintings are pretty good and have an ancient style. It should have been used by a young man in ancient times." Ye Mingcheng tried his best to defend himself. He really thought it was a work of art.

Ye Qingqing was speechless. It was still quite ancient. Her father was obsessed and more dangerous than Wuchen.

"Let me take a look."

The bookish old gentleman came over. He had already hung up the water. He took the bamboo tube from Ye Qingqing's hand. He knew it roughly as soon as he touched it. He looked at it from front to back, left to right, up and down. The old gentleman shook his head, "It is definitely not an antique. It was produced in modern times, and in recent years. It is not worth 50 yuan. Three yuan at the night market is better than this one."

"Impossible, how do you know it was made in recent years? I see there is the reign of Kangxi below!" Ye Mingcheng turned the bamboo tube upside down. The bottom was indeed engraved with the reign of Kangxi. He decided to buy it because of this.

Ye Qingqing sneered, "If it is engraved with Kangxi, it must be from the Kangxi era? Don't you know that it is a fake? How can you catch a fool like you if it is not engraved like this?"

The old gentleman laughed, pointed to the reign and said, "This calligraphy font has no rules at all, and the reign is also written wrong. Kangxi was in power for only 61 years. How could there be a 72nd year of Kangxi? Doctor Ye, your daughter is right. This is a fake, deceiving those newcomers who don't understand."
