Qiang Youwan heard what Chu Chen said, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, but when he thought of the price, he hesitated, and after a long while, he said with some stumbling: "Teacher Chu, count it as 100,000, can you think it?" ”

This price is still quite cheap, but Chu Chen is always a little wary of this kind of business sent to the door, so he didn't agree immediately.

Seeing this situation, Qiang Youwan thought that Chu Chen felt that the price was too expensive, and hurriedly said: "Teacher Chu, if you think this price is not suitable, then eight ...... Seventy thousand, what do you think? ”

Now it seems that Qiang Youwan should also be an honest person, and Chu Chen will no longer lower the price, and nodded: "Okay, then so be it." But, Mr. Qiang, let me ask you a rash question, can you tell us about the origin of this thing? ”

Probably worried that this would make Qiang Youwan misunderstand, he said again: "I don't mean anything else when I ask, mainly because antiques like yours belong to the level of cultural relics, so there are still some taboos about the source of things, I hope you can understand." ”

"It's okay, it's okay. I collected it from a family as scrap. ”

Qiang Youwan waved his hand again and again, and said honestly: "Actually, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, I mainly collect scrap, and I usually like to watch some antique shows." In the past, I felt that with my financial strength, I couldn't afford to buy any good things, and I usually received some jade waste products at most, so I collected them myself. ”

"At the time, I just thought it was fun, and the scrap didn't look very good, and it shouldn't be worth much, so I didn't take it seriously. But. Some time ago, I met a person who was willing to spend nearly 1,000 yuan to buy a piece of jade that I usually hang in the car. Only then did I realize that my collection may not be useless. ”

And so. After a while, I went to buy a few books, compared them with the introductions in the books, and I didn't expect to find a few good things from them. At that time, I just wanted to collect it, and I didn't have a low sense of authenticity in my heart, so I came to try my luck when my family was in urgent need of money during this time......"

Next, Qiang Youwan chattered about the experience of coming to sell things today, anyway, Chu Chen had already decided to buy it. And this is the last thing in his hand, and there is nothing he can't say.

However, after hearing these words, Chu Chen felt a sense of déjà vu, so he hurriedly took a closer look at Qiang Youwan's appearance, and found that Qiang Youwan was most likely the person Yang Qing said, just because Qiang Youwan deliberately dressed up today, and the person Yang Qingyue said had changed a lot. That's why he didn't pay attention for a while.

Seeing Chu Chen constantly looking at himself, Qiang Youwan subconsciously touched his face and asked strangely, "Teacher Chu, do you have any questions?" ”

"Nothing."

Chu Chen smiled. asked: "Mr. Qiang, was it a piece of rigidity that you hung on the car at the beginning?" ”

Considering that Qiang Youwan was not very proficient in antiques, he described the appearance of Gangmao again.

Qiang Youwan said with some surprise: "This is the thing." Could it be that the person who bought it is your friend? That thing won't be a problem, right? ”

Chu Chen felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart when he heard this, and then hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Of course there is no problem. Otherwise, I wouldn't have bought it. ”

"You bought it?"

After listening to what Chu Chen said, Qiang Youwan was surprised with a hint of pity. Since Chu Chen will buy this thing, the value will definitely not be low, it seems that he sold it cheaply at the beginning. But his mentality is still good, and he will no longer be entangled after a while, since the price he received is much lower than the price he sold, so why should he be so greedy?

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Actually, that one is not expensive when it just arrived, and the price you sold is actually about the same, the reason why I bought it is because there are two more words on it, and I feel curious and want to study it." So, I want to ask you, did you also receive this thing? ”

"That's for sure." Qiang Youwan smiled, pondered for a while, and said: "I have been buying that thing for a long time, I remember that it was an old man in his eighties who passed away, and he sold me some books at home or something. ”

Chu Chen hurriedly asked, "Are those things still there?" ”

Qiang Youwan shook his head: "Most of the things are gone, only a few books because they look like they were from the past, I still have them for sale, if you want them, I'll give them to you tomorrow." ”

"How can this be, how it should be." Chu Chen immediately said: "Otherwise, if Mr. Qiang is not busy, let's go to your place together after dinner, how about it?" ”

For Chu Chen, the clues of Wang Mang's treasure are the things he is most concerned about now, if it weren't for the fact that it was time to eat now, he would want to go to Qiang Youwan to check it out immediately.

Qiang Youwan scratched his head: "It's not a thing, but my environment is a little bad......"

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Chen interrupted: "Mr. Qiang, it doesn't matter, to be honest, my living environment when I was a child was not good, there is nothing I am not used to." ”

"Okay then." Since Chu Chen said so, Qiang Youwan nodded and agreed.

Next, Chu Chen asked, "Mr. Qiang, do you want cash or transfer?" ”

Qiang Youwan began to get excited when he heard this, rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "I haven't seen so much money at once when I'm so old, so it's still cash." ”

"Okay."

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, and then walked to the camp with Qiang Youwan and completed the transaction.

Seeing so much money at once, Qiang Youwan's eyes lit up, and his hands trembled a little, but when he came back to his senses, he felt that his decision was too stupid, this is 70,000 yuan, just take it with him, in case there is a mistake, it will just kill him.

Although he promised Chu Chen just now, he was still a little relieved in his heart, so he said with some embarrassment: "Teacher Chu, can we deposit the money in the bank now?" ”

Chu Chen looked at the time and said, "It's too late now, do you have a bank or passbook, I'll ask someone to transfer the money to your card." ”

"The passbook is there, but it's still at home, but there is no phone installed in the place where I live now." Qiang Youwan seemed a little embarrassed.

"Otherwise, put the money here for you, and when we go to you, I'll have someone transfer the money to your passbook, and you can return the money to me." Anyway, don't worry, with me, there will be no problem with money. ”

"Thank you! Thank you! Qiang Youwan expressed his gratitude.

At this time, Uncle Wu and the others walked down from upstairs, and when they saw Chu Chen, Zhao Xueyi asked with a smile: "Xiao Chen, are you busy with things over there in the museum?" ”

Chu Chen replied with a smile: "How is it possible? At the very least, we'll have to be busy until the museum opens. But there's something over there that's not ready, so I'll come and see everyone. By the way, Uncle Zhao, I heard that you brought a baby here? ”

Zhao Xueyi smiled, pointed to a box in his hand, and said, "A set of inscriptions with Jinnong's inscription, do you want to see it?" ”

"Of course I want to see it, but let's fill our stomachs first." Chu Chen replied with a smile.

"Okay, then let's go and sacrifice the Five Organs Temple first......"

Since he hadn't been in the store for a long time, Chu Chen simply invited everyone to Bazhen Yushi to enjoy a meal of food, which made Zhao Xueyi and the others very addicted, and Qiang Youwan even felt that the things were so delicious that their tongues had to swallow them in their stomachs.

After lunch, Chu Chen asked the waiter to clean up the table, and Zhao Xueyi took out the things.

This is six tablets on paper, respectively, the Northern Wei Dynasty Yuanjing statue rubbing, Huaisu Li Yong cursive rubbing, Qunyutang rice post, Mi Fu poetry rubbing, Zhao Songxue law book ink carving rubbing, Yang Jin (Baisu) old collection Huang Tingjian book.

These six inscriptions are very clear and well preserved, and there are inscriptions and Tibetan seals of Jin Nong on them, which are very rare.

After reading all the six inscriptions, Chu Chen asked, "Uncle Zhao, where did you get these inscriptions?" ”

When Zhao Xueyi heard Chu Chen ask, he felt that something was wrong: "I went to Jiangcheng a few days ago and bought it in the antique city over there. What, what's the problem? ”

Chu Chen replied: "I think these should be wall mud books. ”

The wall clay book is a way to make zuò inscriptions, the method is to extend the original rubbing on the wall, and then carve it out and then rub it with rice paper, so that the production of the inscription is not from the original tablet, but from the wall.

"It won't be, will it?!" Zhao Xueyi, Uncle Wu and others were quite surprised when they heard this.

"It's really a muddy wall, and you can see it from several aspects."

Chu Chen explained: "Due to the age, the real old stele has been weathered and corroded after being weathered and corroded by wind and rain, and there will be peeling stone flowers on the stele body, and these stone flowers are uneven and irregularly distributed. In order to create the effect of uneven weathering of the stone after the completion of most wall mud books, lime is usually sprinkled on the wall to create a weathering point. ”

"Look at it, the weathering points of these inscriptions look a little even, which should be the intention of the forger, deliberately doing so, and the effect is more outstanding, but it is still more deliberate, and it seems not so natural."

In addition, the real stone flower is concave inward, and there will be white traces on the inscription, which is commonly known as Yin Wen. The weathering points that are sprinkled are prominently outward, which is reflected in the black dots on the inscriptions, that is, Yangwen, which can effectively distinguish the original extension from the imitation. In addition, after years of weathering, the old stele sometimes has cracks, which are very natural on the original rubbing, while the cracks on the imitation have obvious traces of modification......"

Chu Chen told everyone about the characteristics of the wall rubbing, which made Zhao Xueyi shake his head again and again, and he smiled bitterly: "It's careless, it's really careless, I didn't expect that this thing is actually fake!" ”

Speaking of which, since the rise of collecting craze in the mid-90s, compared with calligraphy, paintings, and porcelain, there are very few fakes of inscriptions. The main reason is that the inscription is relatively unpopular and boring, and there are few people who collect it. And it is precisely because of this, coupled with the fact that Zhao Xueyi actually doesn't have much research on the inscription, it is logical that it happened. (To be continued......)
