Jianbao life

Chapter 1033 It was him!

After hearing what Chu Chen said, Qiang Youwan immediately had a smile on his face, but when he thought of the price, he hesitated, and after pondering for a while, he said hesitantly: "Teacher Chu, it's one hundred thousand Come on, can you see it?"

This price is quite cheap, but Chu Chen was still a little wary of this kind of door-to-door business, so he didn't immediately agree.

Seeing this situation, Qiang Youwan thought that Chu Chen thought the price was too expensive, so he quickly said, "Mr. Chu, if you think this price is inappropriate, let's say [-]... [-], what do you think?"

Now it seems that Qiang Youwan should also be an honest person, so Chu Chen no longer lowered the price, nodded and said: "Okay, that's it. But, Mr. Qiang, I'm asking a presumptuous question, can you tell me something about it?" What's the history of this thing?"

Perhaps because he was worried that Qiang Youwan would misunderstand his words, he said, "I don't mean anything else by asking this question. The main reason is that antiques like yours belong to the level of cultural relics, so the source of things is somewhat taboo. I hope you can understand."

"It's okay, it's okay. I collected this thing from a family as scrap."

Qiang Youwan waved his hands again and again, and said honestly: "Actually, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it. I mainly collect scraps, and I usually like to watch some antique programs. In the past, I thought that with my financial strength, I couldn't afford anything. Good stuff, I usually receive some jade-like waste products at most, so I collect them myself."

"At that time, I just thought it was fun, and the scraps I collected didn't look very good. They shouldn't be worth much, so I didn't take it seriously. However, some time ago, I met a person who was willing to spend nearly 1000 yuan I bought a piece of jade that I usually hang on the car, and only then did I realize that my collection may not be useless."

"So, in the next period of time, I went to buy a few books and compared them with the introductions in the books. I didn't expect to find a few good things in them. At that time, I just wanted to collect them, and I thought The authenticity is not low, during this period of time, the family is urgently needing money, so I came here to try my luck..."

Next, Qiang Youwan babbled about the experience of coming here to sell things today. Anyway, Chu Chen has decided to buy it, and this is the last thing in his hands, so there is nothing to say.

However, after hearing these words, Chu Chen felt a sense of déjà vu, so he hurriedly took a closer look at Qiang Youwan's appearance, only to find that Qiang Youwan might be the person Yang Qing mentioned. It was only because Qiang Youwan dressed up specially today, and the person who Yang Qingyue said had changed a lot, so he didn't pay attention for a while.

Seeing Chu Chen keep looking at him, Qiang Youwan touched his face subconsciously, and asked strangely: "Mr. Chu, do you have any questions?"

"It's nothing."

Chu Chen chuckled, and asked, "Mr. Qiang, was the one you hung on the car back then a rigid wool?"

Considering that Qiang Youwan is not very proficient in antiques, he described Gangmao's appearance again.

Qiang Youwan was a little surprised and said: "This is the thing. Could it be that the person who bought it was your friend? There will be no problem with that thing, right?"

Chu Chen felt ecstasy when he heard the words, and immediately waved his hands and said, "Of course there is no problem, otherwise I wouldn't have bought this piece."

"You bought it?"

Hearing what Chu Chen said, Qiang Youwan was surprised with a trace of pity. Since Chu Chen would buy this item, the value would definitely not be low. It seems that he sold it cheaply.However, his mentality was not bad, and he stopped worrying about it after a while. Since the price he received was much lower than the price he sold, why should he be so greedy?

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Actually, the one that just arrived is not expensive, and it's about the same price as yours. The reason why I bought it is because there are two more words on it. I feel curious and want to study it. So, I still I want to ask you, did you also receive this item?"

"That's for sure." Qiang Youwan smiled, pondered for a while, and said, "I've bought that thing for a long time. I remember that an old man in his 80s passed away, and even some books in his home Sell ​​it to me together."

Chu Chen quickly asked, "Are those things still there?"

Qiang Youwan shook his head: "Most of the things are gone, only a few books, because they look like old books, I haven't sold them yet, if you want, I'll bring them to you tomorrow. "

"How can this be, just do whatever you want." Chu Chen immediately said: "How about this, if you are not busy, Mr. Qiang, we will go to your place after dinner, how about it?"

For Chu Chen, the clues to Wang Mang's treasure are what he cares most about right now. If it wasn't just for dinner time, he would want to go to Qiang Youwan to check it out right away.

Qiang Youwan scratched his head: "It's true, but my environment is a bit bad..."

Before he finished speaking, Chu Chen interrupted: "Mr. Qiang, it's nothing to do with it. To be honest, my living environment was not good when I was a child. It's nothing I'm not used to."

"Alright then." Now that Chu Chen had said so, Qiang Youwan nodded in agreement.

Next, Chu Chen asked, "Mr. Qiang, do you want cash or transfer?"

Qiang Youwan became excited when he heard the words, rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "I've grown up so much that I haven't seen so much money all at once, so it's cash."

"Row."

Chu Chen nodded with a smile, and took Qiang Youwan to the sales desk to complete the transaction.

Seeing so much money all of a sudden, Qiang Youwan's eyes lit up and his hands trembled a little, but when he came back to his senses, he felt that his decision was too stupid. This is 7 yuan, so he just carried it with him , if there is a mistake, it will just kill him.

Although he agreed to Chu Chen just now, he still felt a little uneasy, so he said a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Chu, can we deposit the money in the bank now?"

Chu Chen looked at the time and said, "It's too late now, do you have a bank or passbook, I'll have someone transfer the money to your card."

"If I have a passbook, it's still at home, but the place where I live now doesn't have a telephone." Qiang Youwan seemed a little embarrassed.

"How about this, put the money here first, and when we go to your place, I will have someone transfer the money to your passbook, and you will return the money to me. Anyway, don't worry, there will be no problem with the money with me .”

"Thank you! Thank you!" Qiang Youwan repeatedly expressed his gratitude.

At this time, Uncle Wu and the others came down from upstairs. When they saw Chu Chen, Zhao Xueyi smiled and asked, "Xiao Chen, are you done with the museum?"

Chu Chen replied with a smile: "How is it possible? At the very least, we must be busy until the opening of the museum. However, there are things that are not ready over there, so I will come to see everyone. By the way, Uncle Zhao, I heard that you brought a treasure?"

Zhao Xueyi smiled, pointed to a box in his hand, and said, "A set of inscriptions written by Jin Nong, do you want to see it?"

"Of course I want to see it, but let's fill up our stomachs before we talk." Chu Chen replied with a smile.

"Okay, let's go to the Temple of the Five Zang-organs first, and then..."

Since he hadn't been to the store for a long time, Chu Chen simply invited everyone to Bazhen Yushi to enjoy a delicious meal, which made Zhao Xueyi and others very addicted to eating, and Qiang Youwan felt that the food was so delicious that he swallowed it with his tongue in the stomach.

After lunch, Chu Chen asked the waiter to clear the table, and Zhao Xueyi took out the things.

These are six rubbings on paper, including rubbings of Yuanjing statues in the Northern Wei Dynasty, cursive script rubbings of Huaisu and Li Yong, rice posts of Qunyutang, rubbings of Mi Fu's poems, rubbings of Zhao Songxue's calligraphy in ink, and Yang Jin (Baisu) old collection Huang Tingjian's calligraphy.

These six inscriptions are very clear and well preserved, and there are Jinnong's inscriptions and Tibetan seals on them, which are very rare.

After reading all six inscriptions, Chu Chen asked, "Uncle Zhao, where did you get these inscriptions?"

When Zhao Xueyi heard Chu Chen's question, he felt something was wrong: "I went to Jiangcheng a few days ago and bought it in the antique city over there. Why, is there any problem?"

Chu Chen replied: "I think these should be clay books."

Wall clay is a way of making inscriptions. The method is to rub the original rubbings on the wall, then carve them out and then use rice paper to rub them. In this way, the rubbings produced are not rubbings from the original stele, but rubbings from the wall. of.

"Isn't it?!" Zhao Xueyi, Uncle Wu and the others were quite surprised when they heard this.

"It is indeed a clay book, which can be seen from several aspects."

Chu Chen explained: "Because of the age, the real old stele has been weathered and corroded after experiencing wind and rain. There will be peeling stone flowers on the stele. These stone flowers are uneven and irregularly distributed. Most of the walls After the clay is completed, in order to create the uneven effect of stone weathering, lime is usually sprinkled on the wall to fake weathering points."

"Look, the weathering points of these inscriptions seem to be somewhat uniform. This should be because the forgers realized this and did it on purpose, and the effect is quite outstanding, but there is still an extra layer of deliberation, so it doesn't look so nature."

"In addition, the real stone flowers are concave inward, and there will be white marks on the inscription, which is commonly known as the inscription. The weathered spots that are scattered protrude outward, reflecting black spots on the inscription, which is the inscription. This method can be effective. In addition, the old stele has been weathered for many years, and sometimes there will be cracks, which are very natural on the original rubbings, while the cracks on the imitation have obvious traces of modification..."

Chu Chen told everyone about the characteristics of the wall rubbings, which made Zhao Xueyi shake his head again and again. He smiled wryly and said, "It's careless, it's really carelessness. I didn't expect that the rubbings are actually faked!"

Speaking of it, since the mid-90s collection boom, compared with calligraphy, painting and porcelain, there are very few fake rubbings.The reason is that the inscriptions are relatively unpopular and boring, and few people collect them.And precisely because of this, and because Zhao Xueyi didn't actually do much research on the inscriptions, it happened naturally.
