Chapter 801: Zhou Danquan's Works

Xie Yi continued: "There is another problem, although the style of this painting is very similar to that of Qianlong, it is really well painted. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Yu Boda was a little stunned when he heard this: "Old Xie, I don't understand what you said, is it a problem that the painting is too good? ”

Xie Yi said: "Of course there is a problem, in fact, Qianlong's painting level is not too outstanding, just because he is the emperor so he has a unique temperament, coupled with the hype of the auction now" court concept ", the price of Qianlong's works will continue to rise, you have to replace it with a less well-known author of the same level, it is likely that there is no fraction." ”

"Of course, if you don't agree with what I said, there are still some flaws that can be identified, all kinds of materials in Qianlong's paintings are the best at that time, and paper and silk are the best products at that time. It has all the characteristics of high-quality paper and silk. The ink is made of pearls, agate, coral, musk, plum slices, gold leaf, amber, monkey and other eight precious treasures, which has the characteristics of bright color, pure and clear imprint. The painting is not up to par in this regard. ”

In addition, Qianlong liked to collect famous inks of the past dynasties, and the quality of Qianlong's imperial ink was excellent, so his paintings were black and translucent. There will never be a phenomenon of 'running ink' in the framing process, but if you look here, there is an obvious phenomenon of running ink, which is impossible for the real product to appear. ”

Xie Yi talked eloquently, pointed out the problematic places one by one, and listened to Boda's speechlessness.

"Boss Yu, I don't know if you have any other questions?" Xie Yi asked.

Yu Boda smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I didn't expect that I spent a lot of money to buy it, but it turned out to be a fake, but I lost it! ”

Li Huigang nodded lightly and asked Xie Yi to continue to explain.

Xie Yi continued: "The second problematic piece is Xu Wei's Miscellaneous Flower Scroll...... But this work, on the whole, only Xu Wei's sixty percent of his skills, is far behind. ”

As for the third problematic piece is this Dingyao Ding, although the old man is not very good at porcelain identification, it can also be seen that the shape of this Dingyao is problematic, and it is not the work of the Dingyao in the Song Dynasty. But fortunately, this tripod is also an old imitation, and it is still valuable. ”

"Boss Yu, what do you have to say?"

Li Huigang looked at Yu Boda's eyes a little cold, you want to say that the previous "Apricot Blossom Picture" may be because of the high level of imitation, Yu Boda is wrong, but what is the matter with the last two, one is only sixty percent of the real work, and the porcelain is even the shape of the problem, is this to prepare for perfunctory?

Yu Boda hurriedly said: "Mr. Li, I didn't mean to deceive you, these three things were also bought by me with real money, and I am also a victim! ”

"How long are you going to pay it back to me?" asked Li Huigang.

Yu Boda said: "This depends on how much is missing, if there is not much money, I can raise funds in a day or two, if there is a lot of shortage, it may take some time." ”

Li Huigang asked Xie Yi, and the other party gave an estimate of 20 million yuan for seven antiques.

Yu Boda gritted his teeth: "Twenty million is twenty million, if you don't have enough to pay for this 10 million, please ask Mr. Li to give me some time, and I will send you the money in a month at the latest." ”

Li Huigang is still quite satisfied with this result, at least Yu Boda did not deny it, of course, if Yu Boda dares to deny it, then don't blame him for being polite, and throw it directly into the sea to feed the sharks.

"Okay, you write a new IOU, and I'll write a receipt. ”

"Okay. ”

Yu Boda hurriedly agreed, in fact, as the owner, and these ten antiques have been appraised by many experts, how could he not know that there is a problem with them? Originally, he was planning to fish in troubled waters, but he didn't expect Li Huigang to invite Xie Yi here, so that all his plans were miscalculated, and he was so depressed that he had a toothache when he thought about it.

At this time, Meng Zitao called Xue Wenguang to his side and asked in a low voice, "Do you know Yu Boda?"

"There have been several encounters. Xue Wenguang replied.

"Well, will you be like this, is there a problem?" Meng Zitao said.

Xue Wenguang was slightly stunned, and immediately nodded: "No problem, I will definitely finish it beautifully." ”

"That's what you said, if you do......"

"Rest assured, there will be no problem. ”

After Yu Boda and Li Huigang finished the transaction, they immediately said goodbye and asked the young man who came with him to leave with the remaining three things, but not long after he walked out of the private room, he was stopped by Xue Wenguang who came from behind.

"Mr. Yu, please stay!"

Yu Boda turned around and saw Xue Wenguang running in a hurry, and was a little curious in his heart, and asked, "It turned out to be Teacher Jiang, I don't know what to do with me?"

Xue Wenguang smiled, leaned over and said, "Boss Yu, I want to do a business with you." ”

"Do business with me?" Yu Boda looked at Xue Wenguang suspiciously, he had nothing to do with Xue Wenguang in the past, how could Xue Wenguang do business with him?

Xue Wenguang walked up to Yu Boda and said secretly: "I think the three things left by Mr. Yu are quite good, I don't know if I am willing to cut my love, and give them to me." ”

Yu Boda suddenly realized that Xue Wenguang wanted to buy his remaining three antiques after making trouble for a long time.

"Teacher Jiang, if you sell a fake as the real thing, you won't be afraid of being discovered?" Yu Boda looked at Xue Wenguang with disdain in his heart.

"Mr. Yu, you must also know that I am from the mainland, and now there are often some bosses who come to me to buy things, some of them are nouveau riche, and they like to be vassals and elegant, and use antiques to fill the scene, how can they have any vision to recognize the good and the bad. Besides, I wouldn't say they were genuine, and even if they found me afterwards, I would always have a reason. To tell the truth, the money of these nouveau riche is used to earn, I don't earn it, some people earn it. ”

Speaking of this, Xue Wenguang asked with a smile: "Mr. Yu, I don't know what you think?"

Yu Boda is a native of Xiangjiang, and he himself is also making money from mainlanders, but also discriminating against mainlanders, so he doesn't have any special feelings about what Xue Wenguang did, of course, he will definitely not let Xue Wenguang help him buy antiques in the future.

It's just that he was also a little hesitant in his heart, doubting whether the remaining three fakes would have something else, but soon, he denied this possibility, he found someone to do the appraisal himself, and more than once, just now Xie Yi did the appraisal again, and the result should not be a problem.

Thinking of this, Yu Boda still agreed, it is always good to be able to recover some losses.

At the same time, everyone was drinking tea and chatting in the private room, and Shu Ze whispered to Meng Zitao: "Zitao, what did you let Xue Wenguang out just now?"

"You'll find out in a moment. Meng Zitao smiled and sold Guanzi.

Due to lack of energy, Xie Yi sat down for a while and was ready to go back, at this time, Xue Wenguang pretended to be happy and came back with his things.

Li Huigang asked strangely, "Teacher Jiang, why did you buy these three things back?"

Xue Wenguang replied: "This is what Meng Shao asked me to buy." ”

Meng Zitao nodded: "It was indeed I who asked him to buy it, how much did it cost in total?"

"500,000, no matter how low it is, he won't want to. ”

"You give me the account number, and I'll transfer the money to you. ”

"Don't be in such a hurry......"

Meng Zitao interrupted him: "Don't talk nonsense, give me the account." ”

Xue Wenguang was suddenly silent, and obediently said the bank account number.

Li Huigang didn't understand why Xue Wenguang was so afraid of Meng Zitao, but now his focus was still on those three things, he turned his head and asked Xie Yi, "Old Xie, are these three things 500,000 expensive?"

Xie Yi said: "How do you look at this, if you like it, 500,000 is definitely not expensive." ”

In fact, these three things are at a loss, but they are just a little euphemistic, and of course Li Huigang can hear it.

At this time, I heard Shu Ze smile and say, "Zitao, how much can you earn this time?"

Meng Zitao smiled: "It's hard to say this, I'll have to study it again when I go back." ”

The conversation between the two made Li Huigang and Xie Yi a little surprised, could it be that the previous judgment was wrong?

"Shu Shao, I don't know who this friend is?" Li Huigang couldn't help but ask.

"He was a disciple of my uncle. Shu Ze replied.

"Uncle, are you talking about Zheng Anzhi and Zheng Lao?" Li Huigang said in surprise.

Xie Yi also reacted: "This is Zheng Lao's closed disciple?"

Meng Zitao politely bowed his hand to everyone.

Since Meng Zitao is Zheng Anzhi's close disciple, what he did has to be taken seriously.

Xie Yi hurriedly asked, "I don't know which of these three things is wrong?"

Meng Zitao said with a smile: "Old Xie, these three things are not wrong, they are indeed not genuine, I just think that this imitation kiln Ding still has some sayings." ”

"What do you say?" everyone looked at Meng Zitao curiously.

Meng Zitao took out the tripod, flipped it over, pointed to a tripod foot and said: "Everyone, please look here, although the tripod is worn, the handwriting on it is still vaguely visible, like a 'Zhou' character?"

Everyone stepped forward and found that on the foot of the exposed porcelain fetus, which had been worn, there was indeed a word that looked like "Zhou".

Shu Ze couldn't wait to say: "Zitao, don't sell Guanzi, hurry up and tell us the answer." ”

Meng Zitao smiled: "Actually, I don't know if I'm right, I think it's probably Zhou Danquan's work." ”

The shopkeeper who came with him before couldn't help but exclaim: "What! Zhou Danquan's work, how is it possible!"

Zhou Danquan is a typical skilled craftsman in Wumen during the Longqing and Wanli periods of the Ming Dynasty. He was a master of porcelain making imitation kiln porcelain, and the imitation kiln porcelain he fired was called Zhou kiln. According to Lanpu's "Jingdezhen Pottery Record", it is recorded that Zhou Yao, Longqing, Wanli Zhongren, famous Danquan, Ben Wumen, came to Changnan to make utensils, and was a famous hand at that time. Particularly fine antiques. Often a product is made, and the four parties bid for it, so that they do not hesitate to compete for the market.

There is one such story in "Shi Zhai Pen Talk". One day, Zhou Danquan took a boat from Jinchang to Jiangyou, passing by the mausoleum, to visit his friend Tang Taichang. He said to Tang, I heard that you have an ancient Dingding, can you show me? Tang Taichang gave it to him, he measured the size with his fingers while looking at it, copied the tripod pattern down and hid it, and then returned the tripod to Tang Taichang, and they separated.

After parting, he came back half a year after going to the porcelain capital, went to see Tang Taichang again, and said to him: "I also got one of your Baiding furnaces." Tang was very strange, comparing what he had hidden with Zhou Danquan, it was exactly the same, there was no difference. It is placed as a vessel that holds the dingding, and it is also like a seam.

Strangely, Tang Taichang asked where the Danquan Ding came from, and Zhou Danquan told him: I won't tell you the truth, this Ding is made in imitation of yours. Taichang was very impressed, so he bought it for forty gold, put it away as a copy, and hid it in the family temple. Later, a person named Du Jiu in Huai'an went to Fuliang and dreamed of Tang Taichang's ancient Dingding, and finally got Zhou Danquan's antique Dingding from Taichang's grandson.

It is a pity that this tripod also changed hands several times later, and finally the tripod was abandoned and sunk in the Qiantang River, and it was missing.

It is said that the former Palace Museum has a piece of Zhou Danquan's Jiaohuang cone for gluttony, and it has participated in exhibitions before, but now it is hidden in the Treasure Island Forbidden City, and ordinary people have never seen it.

Xie Yi frowned slightly, and said: "Although I haven't seen Zhou Danquan's works, this imitation kiln tripod is really not like the legendary Zhou Danquan's works from the glaze color, right?"

Meng Zitao said: "Of course, there is a reason for this, but now I don't have anything in my hands and can't deal with it." ”

Li Huigang said: "Whatever you want, I will immediately ask someone to get it." ”

Meng Zitao said: "Things are not valuable, just some tung oil, some warm boiled water, and some cotton gauze." ”

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll get someone to bring it. ”

The person Li Huigang called was very fast, and immediately took the things that Meng Zitao wanted.

Next, Meng Zitao took the gauze, dipped it in some tung oil and began to wipe it, at first there was no special reaction, but after a while, this porcelain tripod began to show its true face.

I saw that the shape of this tripod is square and dignified, simple and elegant. The mouth of the furnace is square, flat along the square lip, each vertical cup on the edge of both sides, the furnace is glazed with half a section, and the tire is hard and dense. The four sides of the furnace body are printed with double cross patterns, and the pattern is decorated with brocade gluttonous food, and there are "S" shaped printing patterns on the sides of all four legs.

After Meng Zitao cleaned the porcelain tripod with warm water and put it on the table, the eyes of the people in the room were a little straight, and they all showed an incredible look.

The surface of the whole vessel is bright and soft, the color is tooth white and pleasing to the eye, and the color is slightly darker if the gathering place is like tears, although it has been through thousands of years of wind and frost, it is simple and pure as in the past. If it weren't for the fact that there was still a vague word "Zhou" in Dingzu, everyone would definitely think that this was a beautiful work of the Song Dynasty Dingyao.
