Jianbao life

Chapter 303

Seeing Liu Sizhe's embarrassing appearance, Mr. Liu shook his head, and didn't say any more, hoping that his grandson could learn the lesson from this time.

"Okay, you two tidy up, today we have an exchange event at the Antique Association in the capital, you go with me."

The antique association that Mr. Liu mentioned is not the official one, but a spontaneous organization of antique lovers. Of course, since it is an organization, it must have been registered.

In the association, half of them are the bosses of major antique cities, and the rest are senior collectors.

If you want to join the association, you must not only recommend someone, but you must also have a certain level. Not only must you pass the assessment of the association, but you must also have an object that opens the door, and you must be approved by at least one-third of the members before you can join. .

Becoming a member of the association is of course beneficial. Apart from other things, every once in a while, the association will organize an exchange meeting. Look at the items, of course, sometimes a small auction will be held.

Chu Chen also went to several exchange meetings with Uncle Wu in the past, and gained a lot of knowledge. Later, as his level improved, after the Spring Festival this year, under the guarantee of Uncle Wu and the others, he will always become a member of the association. member.

The business of antiques has always paid attention to inheritance. If there is no inheritance, it will be difficult for you to gain recognition from the circle. , in the eyes of experienced people in the industry, you are just a nouveau riche.

To say that Chu Chen was able to join the association was also because of Uncle Wu's face and good popularity. In addition, Uncle Wu was also a child of an antique family, and Zhao Xueyi and Zhu Dafu were also capable. Otherwise, given Chu Chen's age, he would not have joined at all. Possibility to join the association.

Since they were going to communicate, it didn't matter if Liu Laode was so respected, but Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe had to bring something with them.

It is true that Chu Chen has a lot of good things, but he does not intend to take out such rare treasures as Wu Daozi's paintings, reborn jade cicadas, and incense burners.

After all, this kind of thing is a treasure that people dream of. Although he is not afraid of someone taking it by force with his current status, but as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of stealing, you are afraid of being missed by thieves. few.

But apart from these three items, the others are also good things, which made it difficult for him to choose.

I chose the Ru kiln sky blue glaze round wash, and suddenly felt that Zheng Banqiao's bamboo and stone paintings were good, and was about to choose bamboo and stone paintings, and thought that the Xuande bronze gilt statue of Manjushri might be more pleasing, so he went back and forth like this. I don't know which one to choose.

Seeing Chu Chen frowning in distress, Mr. Liu said with a smile: "Okay, you can choose Dong Yuan's picture of the bank of the river, just to make this picture see the light of day again."

"OK……"

After that, Chu Chen took the picture of the river bank, and Liu Sizhe took the Chenghua blue-and-white pot he had punched in, and set off with Mr. Liu. It's not that she still has something to do today, and she is more at ease with Chu Chen, otherwise she must have gone with her.

Speaking of which, Chu Chen somewhat knew the reason why Liu Sizhe took the blue and white jar.

The exchange meeting does not stipulate that the things you bring must be genuine. Some things that you are not sure about can also be brought to everyone for identification. Regardless of whether the things are true or not, you can remind everyone. This is also an invisible benefit of the exchange meeting. .

Of course, it’s not that there are no counterfeit items. Everyone didn’t see it, and it was bought and sold by someone they liked, and even if they were looking for trouble, there was no way to find it. After all, the owner said in advance that he was not sure about things. Yes, it’s not a lie. If you buy something, it’s because of your eyesight. In the end, the buyer can only admit that he is unlucky.

Chu Chen estimated that Liu Sizhe should have such an idea, and Mr. Liu would not care about this kind of thing, not because Liu Sizhe is his grandson, but because this is the rule in the antique business, just like you picked up It’s the same as leaking, not returning the things, and hitting the eye, and he can only blame his own poor eyesight.

Since it is an exchange meeting for antique lovers, the venue of the exchange meeting is of course not a hotel or a coffee shop or the like. Usually, it will be in an antique teahouse with that kind of decoration, and the venue of this meeting is in the The second floor of "Xiangyun Pavilion", a tea house not far from the Beijing Antique City.

When Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe accompanied Mr. Liu to the Xiangyun Pavilion, the second floor of the tea house was already reserved, and there were not too many people coming at this time.

Needless to say, Mr. Liu's reputation in the antique circle, it can be said that everyone in the association does not know him. Therefore, when everyone saw that Mr. Liu would come today, they were excited and also a little puzzled. Something big is about to happen?
In fact, the reason why Mr. Liu came here today is very simple, it is to push Chu Chen to the foreground.The reason why Mr. Liu was so low-key when Chu Chen became a teacher before was because Chu Chen was too young for this line of work, and being young means lack of experience.

Youdao is the first bird, as his apprentice, when he enjoys some convenience, someone will definitely come to praise Chu Chen, and if something goes wrong, not to mention his reputation, but also to Chu Chen. That being said, it was not a small blow.

However, after this month of getting along, Mr. Liu found that Chu Chen's learning speed was really amazing, and during the actual combat test, there were very few times when the identification was wrong (Chu Chen didn't use the ability at the time).

The rainbow always comes after the storm. It is good to have smooth sailing, but sometimes too smooth is not necessarily a good thing, and Chu Chen is still young, even if he encounters setbacks, he still has time to recover.

Therefore, when Mr. Liu found out that Chu Chen's current level was already very high, he decided to put Chu Chen in everyone's sight, hoping that he could grow into a persevering and towering tree as soon as possible.

When everyone put down the objects they were playing with and greeted Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu happily introduced Chu Chen to everyone. As for Liu Sizhe, he just mentioned it briefly, but this was exactly what Liu Sizhe wanted, and he was still happy. take it easy.

When everyone heard that Mr. Liu had accepted another disciple, they were all very surprised, but they reacted immediately and praised Chu Chen for being young and promising. Of course, only they knew what they thought.

Afterwards, Elder Liu naturally got together with a group of seniors who were equally respected, while Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe were pulled to their side by Zhu Dafu who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Zhu Dafu first introduced the people around him to Chu Chen, and after a while of pleasantries, Zhu Dafu said in a complaining tone: "Xiao Chen, when I was exercising recently, I couldn't see your figure, and you If you don’t come to my shop very often, it’s because you forgot about Uncle Fu, right?”

Chu Chen was somewhat embarrassed when he heard the words. Since he met Song Jun last time, he has only been to Zhu Dafu's shop twice, but he can't help it. After all, he lives in the west of the city now and has to study a lot of homework every day. , it is really inconvenient to go to Panjiayuan.

"Uncle Fu, I'm really sorry. It's just that I live in the west of the city and I'm preparing for the adult college entrance examination, so I'm a little neglectful. Please forgive me!"

Zhu Dafu didn't really complain about Chu Chen, but he said it because he cared. Hearing what Chu Chen said, he waved his hand with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's okay! Studying is important. When you're done, let's have a meal together to catch up on the old days." .”

"Definitely!" Chu Chen quickly nodded in agreement.

"Nephew Chu Xian, these are all the items we brought, why don't you come over and say, let us old guys look good!" A man in his fifties with a goatee The old man pointed at the things on the table and said with a smile.

"Hehe, Lao Zhu, those sitting here are all elders, Xiaochen is young and has little knowledge, how dare he act presumptuously in front of the elders!" Zhu Dafu immediately smoothed things over for Chu Chen.

"Bie Jie, Lao Zhu, nephew Chu Xian is a famous teacher and apprentice, young is young, but it doesn't mean that he is short-sighted, maybe he is much better than us old guys? Besides, the exchange meeting, it is always necessary to exchange ideas. Alright, let us see the demeanor of famous teachers and high-students!"

The person who spoke was a 40-year-old shopkeeper of an antique shop. Chu Chen also had some impressions. This person had a conflict with Zhu Dafu once, and he seemed to be at a disadvantage. It seemed that this person was going to take his grievances on him. .

"Uncles and uncles, I'll just talk about it, but I'm not very knowledgeable, so please forgive me if I make any mistakes!"

Zhu Dafu was still waiting to say something, but Chu Chen said it first. At this point, even if Zhu Dafu said anything else, he would definitely have to show his hand, otherwise it would weaken the prestige of the master.

Seeing that Chu Chen started to pick up the objects on the table to observe, everyone didn't say anything more. After all, the master was still there, and given them 1 courage, they didn't dare to tease them too much.

There are always more than a dozen things on the table, including clay pots, pen holders, brush washers, jade wares, inkstones, copper stoves, Chinese paintings, etc., like a pocket exhibition.

Chu Chen began to look at the things on the left, and the first thing was a chicken head pot.

The chicken head pot gets its name because the spout is shaped like a chicken head.It is a kind of porcelain pot that was popular from the Western Jin Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty.In the Western Jin Dynasty, the shape of the utensil was smaller than that of Click here to add picture description, with a round belly, a chicken head on the shoulder, small and no neck.Some of the spouts are open, some are solid, the shoulders of the pot are tied, and the bottom is small.In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, its main body was also a pot with a round belly and a plate mouth, but there was a short neck under the chicken head, the beak became round from the tip, the crown was raised, the tail disappeared, the upper end of the handle was higher than the edge of the mouth, and the shoulder straps were bridge-shaped and square.

In the Southern Dynasties, the overall height of the pot body was increased, the neck of the chicken was longer than that of the previous period, the mouth was deepened, the handle was also heightened, and the shoulders were mostly double.In the Sui Dynasty, the body of the pot was taller, the neck of the chicken was not only longer, but also made a crowing shape, the handle of the tail of the chicken was changed to plastic to stick to the handle of the dragon's head, and the switch of the tie was more complicated.
