Jianbao life

Chapter 320 Shui Mozi

The mood, color and charm of each flower on the scroll are absolutely identical. The layout of various flowers is sparse and colorful, as if they were just picked from branches.

The flowers and branches are colored with double ticks, and the leaves are dyed layer by layer with the boneless method, which is elegant and elegant.The colors are gorgeous, thick and elegant, and the method of Qian Shunju's legacy is also self-contained.It can be said that the vibrant, fresh and attractive charm of flowers in full bloom is vividly expressed.

When the scroll was just unfolded, Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe's attention was attracted by the painting. In the end, they even took out the magnifying glass to appreciate it bit by bit.

After a long time, Chu Chen put away the magnifying glass in his hand, and exclaimed: "Just from this picture of flowers, we can see that his reputation is well-deserved. In terms of artistic conception, he has both rich and noble spirit, and also has a wild and unrestrained spirit." Rhyme; in terms of technique, there are both neat and delicate all the way, and freehand and freehand all the way, worthy of being the founder of the "Hook Flower Dot Leaf School"."

"It's no wonder that Wang Shizhen commented on Zhou Zhimian and said: 'Since the Shengguo, there is no one who writes flowers and plants like Wu Jun, and since Shen Qinan, Wu Jun is no better than Chen Daofu and Lu Shuping. Can take the strengths of two sons at the same time'."

Liu Sizhe also sighed: "Yes, Zhou Zhimian's works are both real and wonderful, as can be seen from this painting of flowers. He really deserves his reputation!"

Yi Hongguo said with a smile on his face: "This picture of Zhou Zhimian's flowers is not bad."

"It's not only good, it's a masterpiece!" Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "Uncle Yi, I wonder if you have any plans to sell this painting?"

Yi Hongguo quickly put away the scroll when he heard the words, and said as he put it away: "I said, don't think about this painting of mine. This painting is not for sale. I have been working on it for a long time before the original owner agreed. Transferred to me."

"Can't we discuss it again?" Liu Sizhe asked.

"No talk!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Hongguo hurriedly took the painting back to the back room. He knew Liu Sizhe's obsession, if he didn't get rid of Liu Sizhe's thoughts earlier, he would be troubled in the future.

Liu Sizhe shook his head and sighed: "Hey, it seems that Uncle Yi really doesn't intend to sell it!"

"Why, are you really going to buy it?"

"Yes!" Liu Sizhe nodded and said, "My parents are going to be married for 25 years soon, and I have to buy a gift for them."

"Oh! This painting is really suitable." Chu Chen nodded knowingly. Such a festive and bright work is really suitable as a wedding anniversary gift.

"Old Yi!"

As soon as Chu Chen finished speaking, a middle-aged man rushed in from the outside. This man had a big round face, which looked normal from five perspectives alone, but when combined, he was quite happy.

The middle-aged man walked in and found that Yi Hongguo was not there, and asked a little strangely: "Hey, isn't Lao Yi here?"
At this moment, Yi Hongguo just came out from the back room, saw the middle-aged man and smiled and said, "I thought who it was, it turned out to be you, Old Song, why are you free to come here today?"

"I don't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing! Come on, how about my pair of ice-species floating blue flower bracelets? I just brought them back from southern Yunnan." The middle-aged man said. He took a box out of his pocket, put it on the table, and opened it.

There is a pair of bracelets inside the box. At first glance, it is indeed the ice species of floating blue flowers, and the head of the water is very good, which looks quite gratifying, but when Yi Hongguo just took the bracelet out of the box, he couldn't help but frown. wrinkle.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man quickly asked: "What, is there something wrong with my bracelet?"

Yi Hongguo weighed the bracelet lightly, and then asked, "Old Song, how much did you pay for this pair of bracelets?"

"80! The price of this kind of water-growing jade should be okay?" The middle-aged man replied.

"This kind of ice-species floating blue flower, based on the market price, of course you made a profit by buying 80 yuan, but..." At this point, Yi Hongguo paused, put the bracelet back into the box, and said yes Chu Chen said, "Junior Brother, come and take a look at this pair of bracelets."

Chu Chen nodded, and took the bracelet into his hand, but his first feeling was that the bracelet was a bit lighter. Afterwards, he took out a magnifying glass to observe carefully, and then put the bracelet back into the box.

"Junior Brother, how are things?" Yi Hongguo asked.

Chu Chen said: "Brother, don't be fooled, this pair of bracelets is exactly what you think."

"No way, is there really something wrong with this pair of bracelets?" The middle-aged man frowned and said.

"Why, someone told you that this thing is wrong?" Yi Hongguo asked.

"It's my sister-in-law. She said it doesn't seem to be jade, so I ran over to ask you, is it really not jade?"

"Yes, it is indeed not jade." Yi Hongguo said with certainty: "This bracelet should be made of a material called shuimozi."

"Shuimozi? What is this?" The middle-aged man asked in surprise.

"Shuimozi is actually a kind of associated ore of jadeite." Yi Hongguo explained: "Although it is produced at the same time and at the same place as jadeite, the value is very different. The main reason is that Shuimozi is made of albite. kind of."

"What is albite?"

"Albite, you must not understand the technical terms. To put it bluntly, this thing is the raw material for making glass and ceramics."

"What!" The middle-aged man said dumbfounded: "You mean, I bought a pair of glass bracelets for 80 yuan?"

"You can't say that." Yi Hongguo waved his hand and said, "After all, this is also made of ore, which is different from glass."

"How much is that worth?" Although he no longer had any hope, the middle-aged man still asked with some hope.

"Tens of dollars." 80 turned into dozens of dollars in a blink of an eye. When Yi Hongguo said it, he felt a little embarrassed.

The middle-aged man opened his mouth wide and couldn't utter a word after holding it in for a long time. At this moment, he no longer knew what words to use to express his anger.

"M.A., a businessman, I must settle the score with them!" The middle-aged man said angrily.

Yi Hongguo shook his head and said: "Old Song, save yourself, how do you settle this matter? Since he dares to sell, he must have some confidence."

The middle-aged man blew his beard and stared and said: "Why can't I settle the account, I have a formal invoice and certificate!"

Chu Chen took out a certificate from the box, read it and said, "If you're talking about this certificate, then it's nothing. It's not marked with emerald, but quartzite jade."

Yi Hongguo took the certificate from Chu Chen, and after reading it, he said speechlessly: "I said, Lao Song, haven't you read the certificate seriously? If it is jadeite, how can it be written that the quality of quartzite is jade, and the refractive index is clearly displayed on it? It is 1.54, if it is emerald, it must be 1.66, you don’t even know that?”

"Ah?" The middle-aged man snatched the certificate from Yi Hongguo, and after reading it, he cursed angrily, "CAO, that person didn't show me this certificate at that time, he swapped the certificate for me! "

Hearing that this was the case, Chu Chen and the others couldn't help but look at each other, Yi Hongguo patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder, and comforted him: "Old Song, forget it, anyway, you don't need the 80 yuan, so just treat it as a trap." Improve your wits, but next time you buy jade, you have to learn some basic skills."

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said, "80 is really nothing, but I just can't swallow it, no, I have to get back to this place!"

"Whatever you want, anyway, you should be careful yourself. Since this person dares to do this, he might still have some influence in the local area."

"Cut!" The middle-aged man said disapprovingly: "I'm not stupid, how could I play with that grandson myself, by the way, you should tell me what the difference between this water foam and jadeite is!"

"In fact, the difference between this thing and jadeite is quite big." Yi Hongguo explained to him: "The specific gravity of Shuimozi is between 2.57 and 2.64, and the specific gravity of jadeite is 3.32. I knew it wasn’t jadeite. Old Song, you’ve already bought several pieces of jadeite, why can’t you feel it?”

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "I bought it for my wife and other things. I have never studied it carefully."

"You guy, you will die in a woman's stomach sooner or later." Yi Hongguo shook his head speechlessly, and then said: "As we said just now, there is a difference in refractive index between the two, so jadeite looks like glass on the surface, while The water foam has a waxy luster, if you look at my ice jade pendant and compare them with each other, you can clearly see the difference."

As he said that, Yi Hongguo took out a jade pendant full of ice and green jadeite from his pocket, and put it next to the bracelet. The difference in luster between the two can be seen with the naked eye.

Afterwards, Yi Hongguo continued: "In addition, under the condition of light transmission, we use a [-]-fold magnifying glass to observe the internal structure of the two, and we will find that the flesh of the ice-species floating flower jadeite is delicate, and we can see tiny columnar or fiber-packed interwoven crystal particles. , while the crystals of water foam are granular, and the crystal particles are not arranged in an interlaced form."

"In addition, tiny white bubbles can be seen inside the water foam, which are arranged in parallel strings of small bubbles. The naked eye looks like the crystallization texture formed when the crystal is crystallized, but we can find that it is a gap in the shape of small bubbles when we observe it with a magnifying glass. , the gaps will be filled with impurities to form tiny floating flowers, and the shape is filled in the gaps because of the small flowers, this phenomenon has never been seen in jadeite."

"Finally, let's listen to the sound." Yi Hongguo picked up the jade pendant and the bracelet and tapped it lightly. He could clearly hear the difference between the two sounds. The sound is very dull.

Yi Hongguo put away the jadeite pendant, and said with a smile, "How about it, you won't be fooled again next time, right?"
