Zhang Jun looked immovable, stepped forward to take a closer look, and under the perspective, he found that the iron incense burner was hollow, wrapped in a copper incense burner, and the gap between the two was filled with paraffin.

"It's very difficult to make this thing alone, and the maker has to go through a lot of work." Zhang Jun thought to himself, "Then even if the contents are not Xuande furnaces, they can be worth a few dollars, right?"

Thinking of this, he pointed to the iron incense burner and asked, "Boss, how much is this a catty?"

When the boss heard this, he almost vomited blood, and shouted: "I said big brother, you are buying cabbage, we are the real thing!"

Zhang Jun pouted and said, "Okay boss, you and I know if it's really fake." I don't have an incense burner at home, so you can give me a price. Let me explain first, if you give me a high level, I can turn around and leave, and buy a stone incense burner another day to use. ”

When he met Zhang Jun like this, the boss secretly called him unlucky, but this iron incense burner had been in his hands for more than half a year, and he had collected it from the countryside for a hundred yuan, and he had not been able to make a move.

After thinking about it, the boss said, "Brother, do you think five hundred yuan can be done?"

Zhang Jun turned his head and left, and the boss behind him was anxious, and shouted: "Brother, stay here, four hundred!"

Zhang Juntou didn't reply and said: "Two hundred yuan, don't sell it."

The boss gritted his teeth, and said in his heart that he had earned a hundred yuan, so he sold it to him. Thinking of this, he sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, two hundred is two hundred, the market hasn't opened for a day, it's cheap for you."

Zhang Jun grinned, paid two hundred quick money happily, then picked up the iron incense burner and left, ran to Professor Guo in a hurry, and said, "Professor Guo, I bought a baby."

Professor Guo was looking at something, turned his head and looked at it, and asked with a smile, "How much did you buy it?"

Zhang Jun replied honestly: "Two hundred."

Professor Guo nodded: "Yes, now that the price of steel is rising, it will be able to protect the capital in a few years."

The people around laughed when they heard it, and Zhang Jun also laughed with "hehe".

Professor Guo was obviously joking just now, and then Zhengse said: "Xiao Zhang, it's normal to make eyes on this street, but you have to learn to eat a trench and grow wise, so that you can hone your eyesight."

Zhang Jun nodded hurriedly and said, "Professor Guo, let me ask a question, how much is the Xuande furnace worth?"

Guo Lan also came over at this time, and when she heard his question, she shook her head and sighed, and said deliberately: "Vulgar, really vulgar, how can you make an archaeologist embarrassed by asking such a question."

Professor Guo glared at his daughter and said to Zhang Jun: "There are very few real Xuande furnaces in existence, and the production is exquisite and atmospheric, and Emperor Xuande only made 3,000 pieces." Today, only a few pieces from the Palace Museum and two from the British Museum are considered genuine by some, while the rest are missing. ”

"There were imitations of Xuande furnace in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there were many of them. But even if it is an imitation, many of them can be worth more than seven or eight hundred thousand. Later, there were even more imitations, Republican, modern, and varied. If you go out and take a look, almost every antique shop has a few Xuande furnaces, but they are all imitations. ”

"As for the real Xuande furnace, it is a priceless treasure, a national weapon, and no one will sell it." Professor Guo said, "And even if someone comes out with a real Xuande three-year incense burner, no one in the world can determine its authenticity." ”

Zhang Jun was anxious when he heard this, and said, "What? So it's impossible to judge whether the Xuande furnace is true or not?" He also wanted to make a fortune with what he had in his arms, and who knew it would be like this.

Professor Guo looked at Zhang Jun with a smile and said, "Why, look at your appearance, can you have a real Xuande furnace in your hand?"

The latter laughed dryly, and naturally would not say it in such public sincerity.

Professor Guo explained the original situation in detail, saying: "In order to make incense burners, Emperor Xuande of the Ming Dynasty instructed the imperial craftsmen of the court to design and supervise a batch of incense burners with reference to the styles of firewood kilns, Ru kilns, official kilns, Ge kilns, Jun kilns, and Dingyao famous porcelain hidden in the imperial palace, as well as historical books such as "Archaeological Maps"."

In order to ensure the quality of the incense burner, the craftsmen selected dozens of precious metals such as gold and silver, and carefully cast them together with red copper more than ten times. The color of the copper incense burner after the finished product is crystal clear and warm, and it is a treasure in the handicrafts, so that in a long history, the Xuande furnace has become the common name of the copper incense burner. ”

However, Xuande only cast 3,000 incense burners in three years, and they were never produced again, they were all hidden in the forbidden palace, and ordinary people only knew their names but did not see their shapes. Now, after hundreds of years of ups and downs, the copper incense burner cast in three years of Xuande is extremely rare. ”

"In order to make huge profits, from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China, antique dealers imitated Xuande furnace activities have never stopped. Even after the Xuande furnace stopped manufacturing, some officials who were responsible for casting copper incense burners convened the original furnace craftsmen to imitate the Xuande furnace according to the drawings and process procedures. These carefully cast imitations are comparable to the real ones, and even the expert authority can not distinguish them, and none of the many Xuande furnaces collected in major museums in China can be recognized as the real Xuande furnace by many connoisseurs. Identifying the true and false Xuande furnace has become one of the unsolved cases in the domestic archaeological community. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "In this way, even if the real Xuande is three years, it may not be sold at a high price."

Professor Guo said: "That maybe, there are new products with exquisite workmanship, and occasionally they can be sold at sky-high prices." Some time ago, there was a Xuande furnace in Hong Kong that was sold for a high price of 28 million. ”

Zhang Jun nodded, no longer speaking, if it was only twenty-eight million, he would not be in a hurry to sell the object in his arms, after all, it may be the real Xuande three-year copper incense burner.

When Professor Guo finally bought a bronze mirror, Zhang Jun stepped forward and whispered, "Professor Guo, let's go home, I have something to tell you."

Seeing that he was mysterious, Professor Guo was curious, but he couldn't help but ask, nodded and said, "Okay, go back."

When she got to the car, Guo Lan asked first, and she asked suspiciously: "Zhang Jun, we just arrived, what are you doing in such a hurry to leave?"

Zhang Jun looked stern and said, "I can't say it, I'll know when I go home." His expression made Professor Guo dare not ask, but the doubts in his stomach became thicker and thicker.

Finally returning home, Guo Lan hurriedly said, "Zhang Jun, can you talk now?" Have you found a treasure?"

Professor Guo also looked forward to it, staring at Zhang Jundao: "Xiao Zhang, looking at your appearance, eighty percent of you have found something good, right?"

Zhang Jun smiled "hehe" and said, "Actually, it's not a good thing, because even if this thing is real, it may not be sold at a good price."

Professor Guo was taken aback: "You mean Xuande Furnace?" He was a smart person, and he remembered that Zhang Jun had asked about the situation of the Xuande furnace before, and he immediately guessed it.

Zhang Jun nodded, put down the iron incense burner in his arms, and said seriously: "That's it."

"Poof!"

Guo Lan almost squirted out the tea she had just entered, and then pointed at Zhang Jun and laughed, "Zhang Jun, I didn't expect you to be so humorous, you laughed at me to death."

Seeing this almost ugly iron incense burner, normal people would think that Zhang Jun was joking. Professor Guo was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed, and said, "You kid, you can even play an old man like me."

Zhang Jun laughed "hehe", did not argue, and said: "Professor Guo, do you have any tools for cutting steel at home?"

The father and daughter thought that Zhang Jun was joking just now, but when they saw and made a request, their curiosity came up again. Professor Guo led Zhang Jun into his studio, pointed to a cutting machine and said, "This machine is what I usually use to cut ceramics, and it is no problem to cut steel, Zhang Jun, what do you want to do?"

Zhang Jun walked over and tried the test machine, and soon became familiar with the operation method, and then put the iron incense burner on it and fixed it, turned on the power and began to cut.

Seeing this scene, Guo Lan's father and daughter both widened their eyes, vaguely thinking of something in their hearts, and their faces gradually showed a trace of expectation. When Zhang Jun was about to cut off a piece of iron, the two of them were so nervous that they didn't even dare to come out.

"Ding!"

A hollow lug fell to the ground, and the paraffin wax filled in the hollow part was melted by the heat generated by cutting.

"Wax?" Professor Guo's eyebrows trembled, his face changed, and he blurted out, "There must also be an incense burner inside, this is the master's treasure hiding method, Xiao Zhang, you may really have picked up the treasure!" ”

Zhang Jun smiled and continued to cut. Under his perspective, the cutting was very precise, and it did not hurt the copper incense burner inside. About half an hour later, a copper incense burner wrapped in paraffin wax appeared in front of several people.

Professor Guo hurriedly took the incense burner, scraped most of the paraffin wax on the old surface with a tool, and then found a bucket of gasoline and put the copper incense burner into it to melt the paraffin. Then they were cleaned one by one with several solvents, and finally they were wiped with soft cotton and filament.

Soon, a bronze incense burner with a simple and atmospheric appearance, yellow and red, and a warm pulp appeared in front of everyone. It is cast with an extremely fine pattern on the outside, without a trace of rust, and the luster is shining.

Seeing this copper incense burner, Professor Guo was completely stunned, and muttered: "Such a beautiful thing, even if it is not the three-year imperial system of Xuande, it must be imitated by the batch of foundry officials during the Ming Dynasty, it is too perfect!"

Guo Lan also stared at this incense burner, and couldn't help but say, "I didn't expect the incense burner to be so beautiful."

Professor Guo looked at Zhang Jun at this time and said, "Xiao Zhang, you are willing to show us such a valuable thing, thank you."

Zhang Jun smiled "hehe": "Professor Guo is too polite, I don't know if it's true or not, and I want to ask your old man to take a look."

Professor Guo said: "To be honest, I have never seen what the real Xuande three-year copper incense burner looks like, so there is no way to judge. Well, if you can trust me, I will invite a few experts who are highly accomplished in the field of bronze appraisal to come and evaluate the appraisal together. ”

When he spoke, he looked nervous, for fear that Zhang Jun would not agree. For an old archaeologist, being able to see and study the heirloom is the happiest moment of their lives.

Zhang Jun did not hesitate, nodded and said: "Of course you can, the things will be put here by Professor Guo first, and I will be sued when there is a result."
