Jianbao life

Chapter 1082 Luanjiao's clue (continued)
"what!"

"No way!"

Hearing what Chu Chen said, the others were all taken aback.

Ye Peigen said incredulously, "Director Chu, are you sure you're not joking?"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "It's this time, how could I make such a joke? Don't talk about other places, look at these places where the glaze is peeled, although it is realistic enough, but compared with the natural peeling glaze , there is still a little difference."

Hearing this, Ye Peigen and Wei Shenghuan hurriedly stepped forward to observe carefully, but the result made them very ashamed. They didn't expect that these places where the glaze was peeled off were really not formed naturally. Fortunately, they looked carefully just now, and they didn't even I didn't notice it at all, and it seemed a little embarrassing for a while.

Chu Chen continued: "Also, don't you think it's unnatural when you look at the patina of this utensil?"

The two quickly looked over again. At first they didn't think there was anything wrong. They didn't realize anything until Chu Chen told them how to observe.

The two were both shocked and surprised by this result, and Ye Peigen asked: "Curator Chu, since you know it's a fake, why did you buy it?"

Chu Chen asked back: "I don't know if you have heard of Cai Jianxuan? It is Zhang Huoni's heir from another generation. This thing should be made by him recently."

It is true that Cai Jianxuan and the others have never heard of it, but Zhang Huoni's heirs are well known.But hearing Chu Chen say that this thing was made by Cai Jianxuan recently, both of them couldn't help being surprised.

Wei Shenghuan frowned and said, "Didn't you say that this person has already been arrested? It's impossible for him to be released now, right?"

"That's definitely impossible..." Chu Chen told the two of them the whole story.

After hearing what happened, Ye Peigen and Wei Shenghuan were a little dumbfounded.

After a while, Ye Peigen said speechlessly: "No way, this guy is too cunning and arrogant, isn't he? If I were him, he would run away with great difficulty and have to hide for a few years. Let's talk about it after the wind has passed. Good guy, not to mention making fakes all the time, and after only half a year, he dared to return to China, is he too ambitious, or is he deliberately provocative?"

Wei Shenghuan sneered and said, "I think he committed suicide, I really don't think we can catch him!"

Ye Peigen retorted: "It's hard to say, our country is so big, and Cai Jianxuan is so cunning, and it's impossible to use too much power for him alone. If he really tries to escape, it is still possible for him to flee abroad. of."

Hearing this, Chu Chen thought to himself, he has used a lot of power now, and he has found many people through his friends alone, but these things cannot be done with great fanfare, so he didn't say much, and smiled slightly:

"Anyway, we are doing our best, obeying the destiny, and trying our best to keep him in the country."

Wei Shenghuan nodded and said, "That's right, this kind of person can't be allowed to run away, otherwise it will be really harmful."

Ye Peigen also nodded solemnly. If Cai Jianxuan cannot be punished by the law, it will be a disastrous consequence for them who are in the antique business. Of course, he hopes to arrest Cai Jianxuan as soon as possible.

Wei Shenghuan went on to say: "Curator Chu, you didn't buy this thing because you wanted to stabilize that person just now, did you?"

Chu Chen chuckled: "Not all of them, and I also want to study how Cai Jianxuan's latest method of forgery is different from the current one."

After hearing Chu Chen's answer, the two couldn't help feeling that Chu Chen's wealth was so powerful that he spent millions of dollars without blinking his eyes. If it was them, they might even have the desire to die.

Chu Chen went on to say: "I have something to apologize to everyone. I didn't tell you about it just now because I was short on time. I hope the two seniors can forgive me!"

"It's okay, it's okay!" Both of them said it's okay, Ye Peigen smiled and said: "Besides, if we really get the lottery, the curator Chu shouldn't let us suffer, right?"

"That's not necessarily true, the landlord's family has no food left!"

Following Chu Chen's joke, everyone laughed.

Next, everyone continued the topic of Luanjiao before.

Wei Shenghuan said: "Actually, according to my grandfather, our generation is actually the descendant of Wei Junjiao."

Wu Ke asked curiously: "Who is Wei Junjiao?"

Chu Chen explained: "He is the last monarch of the Wei Kingdom."

Speaking of it, Wei State is one of the vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty that survived the longest. It was established for a total of 838 years. Not for long.

The reason is that people think that it is because there are many talented people in Weiguo, just like "there are many generous and tragic people in Yanzhao since ancient times", and "there are many gentlemen in Weidi since ancient times".Confucius traveled around the world for 14 years, including 10 years in Weiguo, because there are many "gentlemen" who are like him.

However, it is already a new century, and it doesn't matter if Wei Shenghuan is a descendant of the royal family of the Wei Kingdom. As for the reason why Wei Shenghuan mentioned this first, he probably wanted to explain why he knew about Luanjiao.

Ye Peigen said with a smile: "Old Wei, I have known you for so long, this is not the first time I heard that you are a descendant of the royal family."

Wei Shenghuan waved his hand: "It's all about Chen Guzi's rotten sesame seeds. Besides, who knows if this is true or not. Even if he is a descendant of the Wei Kingdom, it will not do any good."

Ye Peigen chuckled: "Why is it no good, the luan glue you mentioned should be left by your ancestors, right?"

Wei Shenghuan said: "My father said it was Luanjiao. I don't know if it's because I haven't done any experiments."

Chu Chen asked quickly after hearing the words: "Old Wei, I wonder if you brought the Luanjiao you mentioned?"

Wei Shenghuan smiled a little embarrassedly: "I lost them a few years ago."

"What? Lost it?" Chu Chen was surprised for a moment, then said disappointedly, "Why did you lose this thing?"

Wei Shenghuan said: "At the beginning, I didn't know what that thing was. It was sticky like glue, and it was prepared by my father before his death. I thought it was useless, so I threw it away. Until Some time ago, I was chatting with Lao Ye, and I just recalled that it turned out that that thing is the luan glue mentioned in the book."

Chu Chen was extremely disappointed at first, but when he heard that Wei Shenghuan's father had prepared it himself, he couldn't help getting excited, and asked, "Old Wei, do you mean that you have the formula for luan gum?"

"I don't have that." Wei Shenghuan shook his head: "Maybe my younger brother has it, but..."

Ye Peigen said speechlessly, "Old Wei, why don't you just explain everything clearly, I can't bear to hear your ups and downs."

Wei Shenghuan chuckled: "I also want to make it clear at once. It's just that this matter involved some family affairs. When my brother and I separated, we had some unpleasant troubles. Although the matter was resolved later, we also Since then, we have never seen each other a few times, and our relationship is worse than that of strangers."

"So, even if it's in my brother's place, I can't be ashamed to bring you there, and it's been so many years, I don't know if it's still there."

"What?" Chu Chen asked quickly.

"A silver box." Wei Shenghuan recalled: "I remember the words engraved inside the box. If there is a formula for luan glue, it should be those words."

Ye Peigen asked a little strangely: "Old Wei, haven't you seen it?"

Wei Shenghuan shook his head: "What do you think, my father hid this thing back then, and he didn't take it out until he was dying. He gave me some gold ornaments, and this silver box belongs to my younger brother." Because of this, my younger brother felt that it was not fair at all, and when the family was separated, there was a quarrel."

"Actually, he doesn't even think about it. Although gold is more expensive than silver, his box is much heavier than my jewelry. If those words are really the formula of luan gum, then it's obviously my fault!"

Seeing Wei Shenghuan's angry look, Ye Peigen smiled and said, "Old Wei, you're getting a little petty. No matter what, he's still your younger brother, so it doesn't matter if he lets go!"

Wei Shenghuan curled his lips: "Of course it's only natural for an older brother to give way to his younger brother, but he has gone too far in some things, and it's unbearable."

Youdao is that it is difficult for an upright official to decide on housework, and everyone can't express any opinions on such matters.

So, Chu Chen said: "Old Wei, can you tell me the address of your brother's home?"

"no problem."

Wei Shenghuan asked for a piece of paper, and wrote down the address: "Curator Chu, I haven't been back for several years, and I don't know what's going on with his house. It's possible to go out to work or move to the city." .”

Ye Peigen heard the words and said: "Then you can call and ask for help."

Wei Shenghuan said angrily: "Old Ye, it's not that you don't know that there was a fire in my house the summer before last, and all the things in the house, including the phone book, were burned. Ask what you want, have you forgotten!"

"Hey, I almost forgot about it." Ye Peigen patted his forehead.

Wei Shenghuan apologized to Chu Chen, "Director Chu, I'm really sorry!"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "It's okay, anyway, this place is not far from here, I'll go there myself tomorrow."

Seeing this, Ye Peigen shook his head secretly, feeling that his friend was too incapable of being a human being. Although he hadn't told him about Chu Chen's identity before, it would be beneficial to have a good relationship with Chu Chen just because of Chu Chen's name.Even if it's inconvenient to go to my brother's house, if it's a big deal, then don't go, so why waste a great opportunity by being so rigid?
"Forget it, he is an old friend after all, let's mention him later." Ye Peigen thought so.

Next, Chu Chen asked: "Old Wei, I wonder if your father has mentioned to you whether there are really phoenix mouth and unicorn horn in the formula of luanjiao?"

Wei Shenghuan shook his head: "I really don't know about it. I just remember that my father was not at home for half a year before making it. As for the name of Luanjiao, he said it by accident one day while drinking, and he just said it. I said it once. But, I think, phoenix mouth and unicorn horn should just be a synonym, how can there be such a mythical thing in reality!"

Chu Chen nodded in agreement, thinking to himself, this is not the first time he has seen something in the myth, maybe the phoenix and the unicorn really exist?Of course, he also hoped that these two things were pronouns, otherwise even if he got the formula, he would be blind.

Afterwards, everyone chatted for a while, and Ye Peigen said in a timely manner: "Curator Chu, I have two pieces of porcelain from the Kangxi period in the Qing Dynasty. I wonder if you are interested?"

Chu Chen smiled and nodded: "Of course."

"Then wait a moment..."

After a while, Ye Peigen and that little Tang came back each holding a box.

The box in Ye Peigen's hand was sixty to seventy centimeters long. When he opened it, he found a Guanyin statue inside.

I saw that it was about fifty centimeters high, with blue and white string patterns on the mouth and shoulders, and longevity patterns on the neck, abdomen, and shins, implying longevity and boundless life.

Simply using the word "Shou" as the pattern is a unique decorative technique created by the official kilns of the Kangxi Dynasty.There is a Kangxi blue and white longevity statue in the Forbidden City in the capital, which is a rare large vessel in the Kangxi imperial kiln.A total of [-] "shou" characters are written on the whole vessel to express the beauty of longevity and boundlessness. It is a gift from the Royal Kiln Factory when Emperor Kangxi celebrates the Longevity Festival.

This vessel is also a rare masterpiece, with fine texture, bright glaze color, gorgeous blue and white hair color, and tall and straight shape.The bottle has the character "Shou" in blue and white seal script. The whole "Shou" character is carefully arranged, arranged in an orderly manner, and the characters are neat, making this statue solemn and extraordinary.

Inside the other box is a bean green ground multicolored flower butterfly pattern plate.The whole body of this plate is covered with bean green glaze, the glaze surface is pure, and the glaze color is pleasant.Inside, a branch is painted to climb over the wall from the outer wall of the plate, with lush green leaves and budding red flowers on it, and two nymphs walking by.The outer wall is also painted with branches extending left and right, with leaves blooming and flowers shy, and butterflies dancing to each other.

The multicolored butterfly pattern wares are rare varieties of Kang kiln, fresh and elegant, extraordinary and refined, as can be seen from the record in Chen Liu's "Tao Ya" that "painted on the bean green ground, most of them are dry kilns, and they were seen once in the Kangxi Dynasty". The number of handed down such wares should be less than that of Qianlong wares, and masterpieces from official kilns are even rarer.

This kind of utensils, with the same style, are collected in several major museums in China. They can be described as famous nobles, and no matter in terms of body, glaze, color, shape, pattern, and style, this utensil can be called a Kang kiln Jun utensil. , is something that can be met but not sought, very rare.

Seeing that Ye Peigen took out these two things, Wei Shenghuan said in surprise: "I said, Lao Ye, you are even willing to take out the things at the bottom of the box?"

Ye Peigen laughed and said, "I tell the old ones not to go, and the new ones not to come."

"Come on, I've never seen you so arrogant before!" Wei Shenghuan curled his lips, his face full of disbelief.

Hearing this, Chu Chen was also a little surprised. Since it was the treasure at the bottom of the box, why did Ye Peigen take it out?

"Okay, okay." Ye Peigen waved his hand and said: "To tell you the truth, I have spent too much money during this time, and all my capital is on the goods, and I am not a collector of porcelain. That’s why I thought of transferring these two things for emergency.”

In addition to what he said, there is another important reason, that is, he is afraid that Cai Jianxuan will not be arrested immediately. As Cai Jianxuan produces more and more fakes, it is likely to have a very bad impact on the porcelain market in the end. Prices are sure to plummet.He might as well dispose of the porcelain now, and also have a good relationship with Chu Chen by the way, why not do it?
Chu Chen didn't care what the reason was for Ye Peigen to choose to sell these two pieces of rare porcelain from the Kangxi official kiln. For him, even if there were more than ten or hundreds of such treasures, he would never refuse them.

So, next, the two began to bargain, because Ye Pei had the intention of currying favor with Chu Chen at all, and the process was not as intense as when he was bargaining with Old Monster Ding before, and soon the two of them settled the deal at a win-win price .

After the agreement was signed, Ye Peigen took everyone to the cash desk to swipe their cards, but as soon as he walked out of the reception room, he saw the man surnamed Qian who had come to return the goods earlier rushing in with a few gangster-like men.

"It's here, hit me!" the man surnamed Qian said viciously.

After finishing speaking, the gangsters behind him all picked up the wooden sticks in their hands and prepared to strike.

"What are you doing?"

Judging from the posture of these people, they should want to smash the store. How could Ye Peigen let them do it? He rushed forward and sternly shouted: "Stop it, or I will call the police!"

　Thanks to "Bismarck" for the monthly ticket, and "Mr. Zhang Da 0" for the reward!
