Jianbao life

Chapter 571
Chu Chen went on to say: "You must know, old man, that when Huiqing is used together with Shiziqing, if the proportion of Huiqing material is slightly higher, the blue and white will be rich in red and purple in color, and if Shiziqing is used too much, the color will appear It's grayish blue. But look at the blue and white, it's rich and colorful, but why is it still grayish?"

"Not to mention the gray tone, there is actually a slight smudge effect! If I remember correctly, the smudged one is the Zhejiang material used later in Wanli blue and white, and the tone is quite calm. Now it appears here, no Is it equally nondescript?"

"This..." Facing the two points pointed out by Chu Chen, the old man hesitated and hawed and didn't know what to say.

At this time, Duan Ning scolded angrily: "Old man, you are such a bastard, I told you just now not to perfuse me, look what you have done!"

The old man said bitterly: "I really don't know about this! Otherwise, I wouldn't have kept it as a collection."

"It's strange to believe you! Alright! Go for what you should do!" Duan Ning angrily issued the order to evict the guest.

Just like the wolf is coming, others will definitely not believe it anymore. With Lao Cai's character, no matter how much he swears, it is extremely difficult for others to believe him.

At this time, the old man also reaped the bad results he had planted before, and quickly said: "Don't! I really don't know about this. How about it? There is another [-]% discount on the website, do you think it will work?"

Duan Ning looked at the crowd, Chu Chen and the others had no objection to this, so he said, "Okay, I'll give you another chance, but if you bring out another fake, then I won't be polite. "

The old man said solemnly: "If this thing of mine is still a fake, then it will be up to you to dispose of it."

Just as the old man was taking out the things, Duan Kun approached Chu Chen and asked, "Brother Chen, what's the matter with the wax seal?"

At this time, although he knew that the bowl was indeed a fake, he still felt a little unbelievable. Isn't it that all things with seal marks are good things?How could it be a fake?

Chu Chen said with a smile: "What's the matter with the wax seal? This thing is only used to judge whether it is a cultural relic that is prohibited from leaving the country. If you don't believe it, someday you will take a fake that is not very important to go abroad. When you return home, send it to the newspaper. Let’s make sure to give it a seal of sealant!”

Duan Kun suddenly said: "So it's like this! If it's so easy, then it doesn't mean that many reflowed things may be fakes?"

Chu Chen said: "This matter is not absolute, at least a considerable part..."

Laocai’s other box contained a cup. The shape of a cup looks like a knife target from a distance, with a tongue-shaped upper part and a spherical lower part.At first glance, it seems to be carved from the horn of a rhinoceros. The size of the cup is relatively small, estimated to be only about five centimeters. On the outside of the cup, there is only a seven-character quatrain carved in running script, "The horn of the rhinoceros...Zigu".

"Who is this Zigu?" Duan Kun asked curiously.

The old man smiled and said: "This man is the painter Zhao Mengjian of the Southern Song Dynasty. His handwriting is very good. I have already checked it. The engraving on it is indeed his handwriting."

Zhao Mengjian, Song clan, the eleventh grandson of Taizu.Zigu, nicknamed Yizhai Jushi, Jinshi in the second year of Lizong Baoqing, official to Chaosan doctor Yanzhoushou.This person's running script was indeed quite influential at the time, but compared with running script, his reputation in the painting circle is undoubtedly better.

He is good at drawing narcissus, plum, orchid, bamboo and stone in ink and wash.Among them, Molan and Baihua narcissus are the most exquisite, giving people the feeling of "clear and extraordinary, elegant and elegant".He is also rich in collections and capable of poetry and prose.The works handed down from generation to generation include "Picture Scroll of Narcissus in Line Drawing", "Picture of Three Friends in Winter", "Picture Scroll of Molan" and so on.

Chu Chen asked others to look at it first, and finally took the cup in his hand.

After careful comparison according to memory, the poems on this cup should indeed be the authentic works of Zhao Mengjian, and judging from the patina and craftsmanship, this cup should indeed be a product of the Southern Song Dynasty.

What makes Chu Chen feel strange is that although the material used in this cup looks like rhinoceros horn, it is specious. It feels more like jade, and judging by the color, some places do look like lighter jasper .

In addition, there are skin-like lines on the surface of the cup, which are different from rhino horns.Judging from these characteristics, although the material of this cup is horny, it is different from some horns in Chu Chen's memory, which makes him really confused.

While Chu Chen was thinking hard, Duan Kun felt that this cup was small and exquisite, and he really should like it, so he wanted to ask the price: "Old man, how much does this cup cost?"

"80!" The old man smiled and stretched out three fingers.

"Pfft! Cough cough!"

Hearing the price offered by the old man, Duan Ning spit out the tea he just drank, patted his chest vigorously, gasped for breath, and said angrily, "80, you are stealing money!"

The old man said with an innocent face: "Why did I steal the money? This is the authentic work of Zhao Mengjian, and it is also a rhinoceros horn sculpture, and there will be a 72% discount for a while, but it is only [-]. This price is very reasonable, okay? !"

Duan Ning said angrily: "I admit that this is Zhao Mengjian's handwriting, but yours is just a quatrain. Besides, is this a rhinoceros horn? Does a rhinoceros horn look like this? I think it is a bull's horn!"

The old man shook his head: "What are you talking about, do you have horns like this? And the poem clearly refers to rhino horns!"

"Who knows if Zhao Mengjian wrote this cup?" Duan Ning curled his lips.

The old man spread his hands and said, "If you say that, it's meaningless. Anyway, this cup is only at this price, and I don't want to sell it without it."

"Can't it be cheaper? I'll buy it for 30 yuan." Duan Kun said.

"30! How is that possible?" The old man directly refused: "Let me tell you, I bought this cup with real money and a huge sum of money. At most, it will be discounted by 70, and the total price will be [-]. If you want it Let's make a deal right away."

Duan Kun shook his head: "The material of your cup is really strange. Although it looks like horn, there must be no rhino horn like this. God knows what kind of horn it is. 70 is too expensive. I can pay 40 at most. Ten thousand!"

"The price difference between us is too great. If this is the case, let's forget it!" The old man said while putting the cup back into the box.

Seeing this, Duan Kun was unmoved. 40 yuan was already his limit, and he couldn't afford any more. In addition, Liu Sizhe and Duan Ning also felt that it was too expensive.

At this time, Chu Chen raised his head and said, "60, how about it?"

The old man is really short of money now. He pondered for a while after hearing the words, and then said: "Well, let's say the price just now, if it is less than 68, [-], I will definitely not sell it if it is less."

Chu Chen thought for a while, then nodded and said, "Deal! Do you accept a check?"

"receive!"

The old man's face was full of joy, although he was a little bit reluctant, but after selling this thing, the debt he owed some time ago has also been settled.

Afterwards, the two parties immediately signed the agreement, and the old man took the check he had just received and sighed, "Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!"

Hearing what he said, Duan Ning asked curiously: "Old Cai, what happened to you a while ago, can you tell me?"

"There's nothing you can't say about this, it's not that you've been tricked!"

The old man said bitterly: "In the past, I thought that with my IQ, no one could fool me. I didn't expect that I was sitting in a well. Compared with some people, I was nothing at all. Duan, you know Did I fall into whose hands this time?"

Duan Ning shook his head.

"Quan Shan!" The old man said the name of that person.

"What? How could it be him?" Hearing the other party's name, Duan Ning was dumbfounded, with an expression of seeing a ghost.

The old man smiled and said, "How about it, you didn't expect it!"

"I really didn't expect that!"

Duan Ning let out a long breath, and when he saw Chu Chen and the others were puzzled, he explained: "This Quan Shan is a collector of seals. He looks in his 40s, has good eyesight, and is a good person. He is very kind, I met him when I was setting up a stall in Du Fu Thatched Cottage before, and when Sendxianqiao opened, he is also a frequent visitor here."

Duan Kun said in surprise: "No, then, if you say that, hasn't he been here for several years?"

The old man smiled wryly: "Isn't it? I remember the first time I came into contact with him. It has been five or six years since I was cheated out of money by him..."

Although the old man has a bad character, he is good at talking, and as long as he is not involved in business, he is usually more generous, so he has more friends.At a gathering of friends five or six years ago, he met Quan Shan. The two of them communicated very speculatively.

Quan Shan mainly plays with seals, whether it is bronze or jade, he is very proficient, but the old man is not very familiar with seals and the like, so sometimes someone in the shop comes to sell seals, Quan Shan will help him He was very busy, and because of Quan Shan's good eyesight, he never made a mistake once, and the old man made a lot of money by coming and going again and again.

Since Lao Cai likes to deceive people, of course it is impossible to trust Quan Shan so easily, even if Quan Shan helped him earn money, but it has been the same for a few years. .

In addition, over the past few years, the money Jinshan has earned for him is 100 million if not 80 million. How can the old man doubt him?As a result, the relationship between the two became even closer.Moreover, Jinshan's eyesight is really good, so whenever there is a problem with the seal, the old talent will call Jinshan to help with the eye.

Just like that, on January [-]rd, someone came over with things again, and the old seller also had the impression that this person was doing some secret business, selling some shady things...
