"Water. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Chen Chengzhi smiled.

"Water?" Tang Yi was slightly flustered, "Sprayed with water, can it be good for copperware?" ”

"There must be bad places, but since they are things that have been put into the ground, there is no big problem. Moreover, the place where the rust is removed is always a little different, spraying water evenly, the amount is very small, and some normal rust is regenerated to achieve the overall consistent visual effect. Chen Chengzhi said with a smile, "Many things are double-edged swords, the key is to master the scale." ”

Tang Yi nodded again and again. The so-called masters, sometimes use techniques that seem to be very ordinary, but they can turn the ordinary into magic.

Chen Chengzhi and Tang Yi walked out of the study, and Cai Zhenyu immediately greeted them.

"Put it in the inner room for three days, and then you can treat it as a normal collection." Chen Chengzhi said lightly.

Cai Zhenyu glanced at Ah Le, who immediately held two checks in both hands, took one and handed it to Chen Chengzhi first, needless to say, the other one was for Tang Yi.

Chen Chengzhi didn't refuse, but he didn't look at the amount, and directly put it away, "But it's disrespectful." ”

Ah Le handed another check to Tang Yi, Tang Yi looked at it, and then gave it to Chen Chengzhi, "Mr. Cai has no opinion, right?" ”

Cai Zhenyu laughed, "Of course not." It seems that Mr. Tang has also benefited a lot from following the observation. ”

Tang Yi here, it is definitely inappropriate to collect money. After all, if it weren't for Cai Zhenyu, he wouldn't know what happened that night, and Tang Yi would have to return this favor, and invite Chen Chengzhi to help, even if it was two clear. However, if you collect money, it is not like that.

However, it cannot be returned to Cai Zhenyu. In this case, it is to refute Cai Zhenyu's face in person, which is not good-looking. Therefore, he borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha to Chen Chengzhi, which is a way to get the best of both worlds.

Chen Chengzhi took the check this time and looked at the amount. He knew that the two checks must be the same amount. The amount above is five million, and two is ten million.

Although the value of this bronze square tripod is very high, it can give 10 million, which also makes Chen Chengzhi feel that this Cai Zhenyu is indeed generous enough.

In fact, Cai Zhenyu gave this money, not simply to thank him. This bronze square tripod has an important feng shui use, and in his mind, if the money is too small, he is afraid of bad luck.

"I arranged a banquet at noon, and the two of you must appreciate your face!" Cai Zhenyu then laughed.

After eating, Cai Zhenyu originally arranged other programs, but Chen Chengzhi said: "Mr. Cai, you don't have to be polite, Tang Yi and I still have some personal matters to discuss, so let's get rid of it!" ”

Cai Zhenyu naturally would not be reluctant, and arranged a car to send the two back to the hotel.

After a short rest in the hotel, Chen Chengzhi took Tang Yi and wanted to go to the antique market to have a look.

There's something going on here. In the mainland market, the regulations on bronzes are very complicated, and a considerable part of them are not allowed to be bought and sold, even including some heirlooms.

But Hong Kong Island is relatively special, and there are more things returned from overseas than in the mainland, so Chen Chengzhi wants to go and see it.

Moreover, Chen Chengzhi doesn't want to delay too much time on Hong Kong Island, and plans to return tomorrow, so he has to hurry up.

Lin Huanting didn't ask to follow, now that everything has been resolved, there are a few days left, Tang Yi said that she wants to have fun, so she simply gave the two of them the afternoon time.

The two of them are still preparing to go to Hollywood Road, Morro Street and Le Koo Road.

Hollywood Road alone, long and curved, stretches from Central to Sheung Wan, and there are more than 100 antique shops. But fortunately, both of them have excellent eyesight, and they are basically the masters who can be clear after a few glances.

Nowadays, the antique market, whether it is the mainland, Hong Kong Island, or even European and American antique shops, is full of a large number of fakes. Of course, everyone in the industry has adapted to the fact that there is no "real or fake" in the antique market, only the old and the new, and the high and low artistic value.

However, in a shop called Bao Zhai Antique, Chen Chengzhi still found a gilded bronze statue of the Treasure King.

This bronze statue is not big, that is, eleven or twelve centimeters high, the king of treasure rides sideways on the back of a lion, holding a victory building in his right hand, and holding a treasure mouse in his left hand, which is a standard image of the god of wealth, and the shape is very standardized. This kind of statue, some people like to simply and directly commonly known as the gilded God of Wealth.

Moreover, this bronze statue is very meticulously polished, gilded and very bright, and the back is engraved with the regular script of "made in the Qianlong year of the Qing Dynasty". This kind of Song style regular script is a common style of Qing palace statues.

Discovering this bronze statue, Chen Chengzhi glanced at Tang Yi, and Tang Yi also nodded.

However, this bronze statue is placed in a conspicuous position in the store, and it seems that the shopkeeper also attaches more importance to it. Coupled with a good fortune like the Treasure King, Tang Yi estimated that if the shopkeeper knew how to do it, then the price would not be low.

"Are you two optimistic?" The owner is a middle-aged man who is neatly cleaned up, and his hairstyle is not messy. He heard Tang Yi and Chen Chengzhi talking before, so he opened his mouth in Mandarin. He waited for Tang Yi and Chen Chengzhi to see almost the same before he stepped forward to speak.

"This is something from the early days of Qianlong." Tang Yi said to Chen Chengzhi with a smile.

Chen Cheng was stunned, his heart was strange, how could Tang Yi say that?

At this time, the shopkeeper looked at their performance, but shook his head slightly, and said to Tang Yi, "You studied with this old gentleman, right?" This bronze statue has a style, just at a glance, you can see that it is the late Qianlong period, not the early one! ”

Tang Yi smiled, "What do you say?" ”

"Look at this gilded, shining gold, dazzling!" The shopkeeper was not ambiguous, and directly explained in detail, "Just looking at this gilt, you know that it is from the late Qianlong period." Before Qianlong, the Qing Dynasty court statues, gilding had a problem, more than calm, not enough bright, has not been able to overcome, until the forty-fifth year of Qianlong. ”

At that time, the 6th Panchen Lama entered Beijing and presented a large number of Buddha statues. Later, Qianlong found a problem, the gilded Buddha statue is particularly bright in gold, and it is less gold than the Qing Palace! ”

After discovering this problem, Qianlong ordered someone to inquire, only to know that these gilded Buddha statues in Tibet, after gilding, were to be fried with madder! So it's not only bright, but also a little reddish! Since then, the problem of the gilded bronze statue of the Qing court is not bright has been solved. Therefore, such a bright gilt cannot be from the early Qianlong period! ”

Only then did Chen Chengzhi understand why Tang Yi deliberately wanted to say that Qianlong was in the early days! Tang Yi must know this little knowledge, he just wanted to see if the shopkeeper was an expert, and he tried it out, and he was an expert. Then this gilded bronze statue, let alone missing it, even if it is lower than the market price, don't even think about it.

At this time, Tang Yi looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Boss, the bronze statue of the Qianlong Palace, in addition to this one in the store, have you ever seen the one engraved on the back, not on the front of the base?" ”
