Jianbao life

Chapter 656
After saying goodbye to Ma Laocai and his son, Chu Chen walked towards his car and said to Director Jin next to him: "Director Jin, where are you going, I will see you off."

"No, no, I'll just go back by myself." Chief Jin said flattered.

"You're welcome, I'm on my way anyway!" Chu Chen invited with a smile.

Director Jin chuckled and said, "It's really unnecessary, I'll have dinner at last year's Director's."

Hearing what he said, Chu Chen said, "Oh, that's fine, please help me give the voice to Director Nian then."

As soon as the words finished, Ming Mazi was about to leave: "Young Master Chu, Director Jin, if you have nothing to do, I'll go back first."

"Okay, thank you today, I don't have anything good here, you can take this pack of cigarettes and smoke it!"

As he said that, Chu Chen opened the car door, gave Ming Mazi a pack of cigarettes that he had never seen on the market, and the packaging was very ordinary and unremarkable. He also took two packs and handed them to Chief Jin, and then he said goodbye to the two of them.

After Chu Chen left, Ming Mazi looked at the pack of cigarettes in his hand curiously, while a younger brother behind him muttered, "He's from the capital, and he only gave me a pack of cigarettes when he asked for help. So petty!"

After hearing this, Director Jin said angrily: "Fart, I gave you a pack of cigarettes because of my arrogance. Ming Mazi, do you want it? I'll buy it for you for three thousand!"

The younger brother was stunned when he heard the words and said: "What kind of cigarettes cost three thousand, could it be special... no, this... is this really special cigarettes!"

Hearing this, Ming Mazi's younger brothers gathered around with a huff, eager to witness the legendary special cigarettes, but they were disappointed when they saw the very ordinary and unremarkable packaging.

One of them said strangely: "A friend of mine used to ask for a pack of this special cigarette. Why does the packaging seem to be different?"

"Is it written on the white leather?" Director Jin asked.

"Yes!" The man nodded.

Director Jin sneered and said, "That's a fake. How could the real special offer be circulated on the market, and there are so many of them? That kind of smoke can also deceive you people who don't know how to do it."

"Director Jin, does that mean that the special cigarettes are like what Young Master Chu gave us?" Ming Mazi asked.

Director Jin shook his head: "I'm not qualified to smoke this kind of cigarette. I don't know what it is. Let's not talk about it. Do you want this kind of cigarette?"

"You really bought it for three thousand?" Ming Mazi was a little stunned when he heard that.

Director Jin said angrily: "Nonsense, how can I lie to you about this? Let me tell you clearly, the status of Chu Shao's family in the capital is also one of the best, this kind of smoke is not available to the bosses in Yan Province."

"hiss!"

Ming Mazi and his subordinates all gasped, and after a while, Ming Mazi shook his head again and again and said:

"Director Jin, I'm sorry, I will definitely treasure this kind of good smoke."

Director Jin said speechlessly: "Cigarettes are for smoking. You are not reckless if you do this!"

Ming Mazi chuckled and said, "I'm just an ordinary person, how can I meet such an opportunity in the future?"

"Really not for sale?" Director Jin asked.

"Not for sale!" Ming Mazi shook his head again and again.

Seeing this, Director Jin said helplessly: "Yes! You can do whatever you want, if you want to transfer it in the future, just let me know, but I don't want it if it goes bad!"

Ming Mazi laughed and said, "Okay, I will definitely not forget you then!"

…………

Chu Chen parked the car at the door of Lin Dacheng's house, took the calligraphy and painting box and the brocade box with armor from the car, and walked into the door.However, what surprised him was that Uncle Wu, Lin Dacheng and his son were sorting copper coins on the floor of the hall at this time. It seemed that there were a lot of copper coins, there should be hundreds of them.

"Dad, where did you get so many copper coins?" Chu Chen asked curiously.

"I went to play at your mother's friend's house today. I saw them at her house, and then I bought them all." Uncle Wu raised his head and replied with a smile.

Chu Chen leaned forward and asked casually, "What kind of money is it all?"

Uncle Wu replied: "These are Zhaowu Tongbao."

Hearing this, Chu Chen hurriedly talked and leaned forward: "It's all rebellion money? Is there a seal script version?"

This "Zhaowu Tongbao" is a coin minted during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Why is it called "rebellion money"?It is because this coin was minted by Wu Sangui.

At that time, Wu Sangui was in the town of Yungui at the beginning. Due to military, political and economic needs, a lot of funds were urgently needed.For this reason, Wu Sangui petitioned the imperial court to ask the court to mint coins on the spot, but was not approved by Kangxi. Instead, he supplied copper coins cast by Baoquan and Jiangning to southern Yunnan. However, due to the long distance, the supply could not be delivered in time, which seriously affected the economic development of southern Yunnan.

Under such circumstances, Wu Sangui used the resources in his jurisdiction to mint copper coins privately.In the 17th year of Kangxi, after Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing Dynasty, he proclaimed himself emperor in Hengzhou.This is where "rebel money" comes in.

After the Qing government pacified the San Francisco, although it ordered twice to confiscate the "rebel money", due to various factors, the "Zhaowu Tongbao" money was circulated until the end of the Qing Dynasty.

"Zhaowu Tongbao" is an imitation of the old coins of the Ming Dynasty. Its format includes Xiaoping, five-fold, and ten-fold.Xiaoping's regular script is more expensive, usually barebacked, and "work" is more common, basically worthless, and now it is sold by the catty.Xiaoping's seal script is relatively rare, and the five-fold and ten-fold coins are all big money in seal script, with "one point" on the back, and the seal script is ancient and clumsy.

In fact, in terms of market value, the value of the seal script "Zhaowu Tongbao" is only between 100 and 200. The money is nothing to Chu Chen, but antique collection is about culture, if it is only in line with money Well, then Chu Chen might as well just do the jadeite business, the money will come back faster that way.

Uncle Wu smiled and replied: "Now there are more than 20 Xiaoping seal scripts, and there are more than [-] folded fives and ten folds."

"nice!"

Chu Chen saw that there was still a third of the floor that had not been tidied up, so there should be a lot more to tidy up, so he put the calligraphy and painting box aside and helped tidy it up.

The four of them started working very fast, but Chu Chen came back relatively late. After they sorted out the copper coins, it was time for dinner.

The four of them walked to the bathroom to wash their hands, and Uncle Wu smiled and asked Chu Chen, "I saw you holding the boxes just now. They should be good things, right?"

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "It's true that they are all good things, and there is one thing that you would never have thought of!"

Seeing what Chu Chen said, Uncle Wu felt that the things must be extraordinary, so he immediately became very interested and said, "Oh! I've had dinner later, so I really want to appreciate it!"

"Row……"

After drinking and eating, after clearing the table, Chu Chen brought over both boxes. At this time, Uncle Wu couldn't wait any longer.

He waved his hand and said, "Xiao Chen, don't be fooled, take out the good things first."

Seeing Uncle Wu's anxious look, Chu Chen secretly smiled, and then took out the painting "Luo Shen Fu" from the painting and calligraphy box.

Uncle Wu first carefully observed the appearance of the scroll, and then let out a light snort: "Hey! It's a hand scroll! It seems to be the style of mounting in the early Qing Dynasty, and it is still a master-level mounting technique!"

The painting and calligraphy mounting in the Qing Dynasty had its own characteristics in the pre-Qing, mid-Qing and late Qing periods.The mounting forms of the hand scrolls continue to use imitation Xuan and bordering, silk turning, silk inlaid paper, silk or satin inlaid and so on.The silk side-turning style is mostly used for hand scrolls with different or short sizes for the beginning, center and end.

Its stage characteristics are also the most obvious. In the early and middle Qing Dynasty, the silk turning edge was wider, about 2.5-3 cm, and it became narrower in the late Qing Dynasty.In the mid-Qing Dynasty and the late Qing Dynasty, there were also differences in the width and width of the side-bumping styles of imitation Xuan and bumping-edge styles, but the difference was not significant.

Handscrolls in the early and middle Qing Dynasty had shorter end papers and thinner rolls; in the late Qing Dynasty, the end papers were longer and the rolls were obviously thicker than those in the early and middle Qing Dynasty.This is one of the characteristics of mounted scrolls in the Qing Dynasty.

In the Qing Dynasty, brocade was generally used to wrap the head of hand scrolls, and silk was used for Tiantou and Waterproof.The cotton silk used in the early and middle Qing Dynasty has a tight texture and relatively clear patterns, most of which are cloud and crane patterns.In the late Qing Dynasty, besides the cloud crane, there were also phoenix decorations, but the texture was loose and the patterns were relatively vague.

The mounting skills of Gusu and Huaiyang in the Qing Dynasty were famous all over the country, among which the Huaiyang department was good at imitating ancient pools and exposing ancient paintings.

The scroll is framed in an antique style, and the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite. Although Uncle Wu is not good at appraising calligraphy and painting, he also worked in a museum before, so he has a lot of knowledge. Dai Huaiyang is the work of a mounting master.

Seeing that it was actually the work of a master of Huaiyang Department of mounting in the early Qing Dynasty, Uncle Wu felt a little strange and asked:
"Xiao Chen, it seems to you that this hand scroll was picked up by mistake?"

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "I spent 45 yuan on this hand scroll. In terms of the value of the item, it is indeed a big mistake."

45 things, it is not uncommon to have such a superb frame, but in general, if the work is not particularly outstanding, it is impossible to use such a frame, but in this case, even if the value of the thing is less than 45, the difference should be It's not big, and it's certainly not a big leak.

This made Uncle Wu wonder, and thought of a possibility: "Xiaochen, is this another 'picture in picture'?"

Chu Chen said with a smile, "Dad, it's not what you think. You'd better take a look first, otherwise you won't be able to figure out what's going on."

"Okay, let me take a look first..."

Because there was no room on the table, Uncle Wu also read it bit by bit. However, he just read the beginning and couldn't help being stunned. After a while, he asked Chu Chen dumbfounded: "Xiao Chen, what are you doing?" Does it mean that this is really the "Luo Shen Fu" written by Zhao Mengfu himself?"

Chu Chen spread his hands and said with a smile, "I think it should be the real one. How about it, you should take a look first."

Uncle Wu nodded, and quickly picked up the magnifying glass and moved forward to observe carefully...

　I wish all my friends a happy National Day!
