Jianbao life

Chapter 577
Chu Chen chuckled and said, "It's not bad for you to do this. Maybe you have a good talent, and you can achieve something in a few months!"

"Am I still talented? If I were really talented, I wouldn't have such a disease." Zhenzhen smiled wryly.

"The root bone has nothing to do with illness, maybe you are a genius in martial arts!" Duan Kun quickly comforted.

Hearing what he really said, I was somewhat looking forward to it, and even if the talent is not good, exercising every day is still right to keep fit. After all, there are only advantages and not many disadvantages.

Next, Chu Chen wrote a prescription for Zhenzhen, and then told her the usual things to pay attention to.

When Chu Chen explained everything clearly, he really said with a smile: "Brother Chu, you didn't have a good meal because of me just now, let's come to my shop later, and I will burn some of my private house for you food?"

Chu Chen smiled and waved his hands: "No need, although we ate quickly just now, we are all full, and now we can't eat even if we want to!"

Duan Kun quickly suggested: "Anyway, it's early, why don't we go to the nearby scenic spots and then have a late-night snack, do you think it's okay?"

Of course, Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe had no objection to this, and they also knew what Duan Kun was up to. Fortunately, Zhen Zhen was in a good mood today, and because his stubborn illness was expected to be cured, and he didn't dislike Duan Kun, it was not too late. There was no objection, which made Duan Kunna really overjoyed, and took everyone out in a hurry.

Next, the group happily visited several scenic spots, then went to Zhenzhen's shop, and had a late-night supper that Zhenzhen cooked himself. And Hu Yong, everyone else was drunk...

The next day, at around nine o'clock in the morning, Duan Kun got up and took a shower, then knocked on the door of Chu Chen's room.

As soon as Chu Chen opened the door, Duan Kun said anxiously: "Brother Chen, did I lose my composure in front of Zhenzhen yesterday?"

Seeing his appearance, Chu Chen wanted to tease him, so he deliberately raised his voice and said, "Yesterday..."

"Brother Chen, what are you talking about!" At this moment, Duan Kun's heart was so nervous that it almost jumped into his throat.

"No!" Chu Chen said with a smile.

Duan Kun breathed a sigh of relief, and wiped off his sweat: "I said Brother Chen, next time, don't make such a big ups and downs, okay? If I have a heart attack, it may happen suddenly."

"What happened suddenly?"

As soon as Duan Kun finished speaking, the two saw Zhenzhen walking in from the door holding something.

"Nothing!" Duan Kun hurriedly said haha, and asked, "Really, why did you come here so early today?"

"Why, you're not welcome?" Zhenzhen said.

"Welcome, how could you not welcome me? I'm welcoming with my hands up!" Duan Kun really raised his hands as he spoke.

Really amused by him: "You don't call it welcome, it's called surrender!"

Duan Kun said solemnly: "Surrender is surrender, I will bow down under your pomegranate skirt!"

Hearing what he said, Chu Chen just didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and Zhenzhen was even more stunned. She froze on the spot, not knowing what to say. After a while, she raised her fist and said viciously: "Duan Kun, you still Shameless, believe it or not, I will beat you!"

Duan Kun said with a smile: "Really, I'm just shameless in front of you, but in front of outsiders, I'm a complete macho!"

As he spoke, he patted his chest heavily, and there was a "bang bang" sound.

Zhen Zhen said dumbfoundedly: "You are hopeless!"

Having said that, she really likes Duan Kun's tricks, which can be seen from her blushing cheeks.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen secretly gave Duan Kun a thumbs up, and Duan Kun also smiled complacently.

"Humph!"

Seeing Duan Kun's smile, Zhenzhen snorted coldly, and then said to Chu Chen: "Brother Chu, if you can help me cure my illness, it is a kindness of regeneration to me. Since you refuse to charge for the treatment, Then I will give you a gift, so you can accept it, right?"

When eating supper at Zhenzhen's yesterday, Zhenzhen mentioned the treatment fee. Of course Chu Chen would not accept it. First, it was because of Duan Kun's relationship. Second, to put it bluntly, Zhenzhen was actually considered His test product, in this case, of course Chu Chen would not charge any treatment fees.

Later, seeing that Chu Chen couldn't be persuaded, Zhenzhen didn't say anything more about it. Chu Chen didn't expect that she brought a gift here today, which should be worth a lot.

Chu Chen said quickly: "It's okay to accept gifts, but they can't be too expensive. I definitely won't accept things that are too expensive."

Zhenzhen said with a smile: "Don't worry, this thing is really worthless to me, you have to accept it!"

"If it's really not an expensive gift, then I will definitely accept it." Chu Chen nodded.

"It's a deal, don't play tricks!" Zhenzhen said, and took out the things, but there were two embroidery works.

Chu Chen thought it was Shu embroidery at first, but after a closer look, he discovered that it was actually a Kesi work.

Kesi, also known as "carved silk", is the most traditional kind of warp pick and weft display in my country's silk weaving industry, and it is a decorative silk fabric that is highly appreciated.

Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Kesi has been one of the fabrics used by the royal family. It is often used to weave emperor and empress costumes, imperial portraits (royal portraits) and imitate Kesi calligraphy and paintings of celebrities.Due to the extremely detailed weaving process, the imitation of Kesi is often better than the original work, and the surviving fine works are extremely rare, so it is often known as "one inch of Kesi and one inch of gold" and "the sage of weaving".

Chu Chen was a little speechless: "Really, this is a Kesi work, and you still say it's not worth much?"

Zhenzhen said with a look of grievance: "I originally picked up these two things with 2000 yuan. Isn't 2000 yuan cheap?"

"Can you say that?" Chu Chen said dumbfounded.

"Hey! Just now we agreed not to play tricks, and Duan Kun can prove it, can't he?" After finishing speaking, Zhenzhen stared at Duan Kun.

Seeing this situation, how could Duan Kun say no, besides, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, it was only a few million.You know, Chu Chen's uncle did him a favor and let him earn 500 million. Even if the two paintings really cost several million, it would be fine to make up for it by yourself.

Chu Chen shook his head: "That's not okay, if it's worth tens of thousands of 10,000+, then it's fine for me to accept it, but the value of these two pieces of Kesi may be close to a million, how can I accept it. How about this, let's make a compromise, I'll buy these two pieces of Kesi, and then you can give me a discount, just [-]% off, what do you think?"

Seeing Chu Chen's determined face, Zhenzhen can only agree to this plan, but she definitely disagrees with the [-]% discount, and directly refuses: "This is not possible, it must be [-]% off!"

"The [-]% discount is not the same as the free gift. Let me give it a step, [-]% discount!" Chu Chen shook his head.

"alright, alright!"

Duan Kun smiled and smoothed things over: "You two are so funny, what you sell is not cheap enough, and what you buy is not expensive enough. If you are like this, you don't know how long you will have to bargain. Let me make a compromise for you. Let’s talk about the price, 66% off, [-]% off, what do you think?”

The two pondered for a while, and felt that what Duan Kun said was indeed reasonable, and the 66% discount was also in line with their ideas, so they agreed.

Seeing that Chu Chen agreed, Zhenzhen smiled and said, "Brother Chu, look at these two pieces of tapestry. I think they should be works of the Qing Dynasty. I don't know if they are true or not."

Chu Chen smiled and said: "Really, you should know that as a special hand-woven embroidery, Kesi is very complicated and difficult to imitate, so ordinary people will not bother to imitate this thing. We are here When authenticating Kesi, it is generally not necessary to consider the authenticity and forgery of the material. The main problem in the identification of Kesi is to determine its age, place of origin and author, that is to say when, where and who made Kesi. "

"Oh, so it is like this!" Zhenzhen suddenly said.

Next, Chu Chen unfolded both works and found that they happened to be a pair.

These two works should be a hanging screen with a huge size, nearly 80 centimeters in height and 40 centimeters in width. Dark eight-treasure patterns are woven on the tapestry, and the moiré patterns and the bat-patterned corner teeth at the four corners of the frame form a streamlined pattern. The pattern of clouds and bats symbolizes long-lasting happiness.

On the two Kesi works, one is written with "One Year" and the other with "Kangtai", the style of calligraphy is graceful and rich.

The reason why the ancients used "one inch of Kesi and one inch of gold" to say that Kesi works are precious is firstly because Kesi consumes a lot of man-hours, and it is skillfully crafted with thousands of strands of silk, "like a woman's clothes, which can be completed at a lifetime."

Secondly, Kesi techniques are easy to learn but difficult to master. Although imitating Kesi calligraphy and painting is not a simple painting of gourds, it requires proficient craftsmanship and considerable calligraphy and painting artistic accomplishment. Many Kesi calligraphy and paintings have high artistic appreciation value.

In the Qing Dynasty, Kesi was gradually monopolized by the royal family because of its preciousness, and it was also carried forward because of the attention of the emperor and nobles.

During the Qianlong period, Kesi technology developed to its peak, and the "three-color gold" Kesi method appeared, using red twisted gold threads and light twisted gold threads, and silver threads in dark or light colors.Later, new techniques such as adding embroidery, adding painting, and three-blue keto were produced, which were used in combination and received excellent artistic effects.

The pair of hanging screens in front of me looked simple, but the exquisite technique and the dense use of silk made it look really elegant and pleasing to the eye, which made Chu Chen amazed.And this style of Kesi was the top craftsmanship in the Qianlong period.

Chu Chen said in admiration: "These two works are not only from the Qing Dynasty, but also the high-quality silk weaved by the court during the Qianlong period. It is very rare. But it is a pity that this pair of hanging screens should have been inlaid with a red sandalwood frame. Yes, if it is original, it will be more perfect."

Zhenzhen smiled and said: "If there is a red sandalwood frame, then I can't find such a leak!"

Chu Chen nodded with a smile and said, "That's true. If there is a loss, there must be a gain. But such a good Kesi work, are you really willing to give it up to me?"
