Chapter 313: Exchange Meeting
Seeing Liu Sizhe's embarrassed appearance, Liu Lao shook his head and didn't say more, hoping that his grandson could learn the lesson this time.
"Okay, you two clean up, today our antique association in the capital has an exchange event, you can go with me."
The antique association that Liu Lao said is not the official kind, but the spontaneous organization of antique enthusiasts, of course, since it is an organization, it must have been registered.
Half of them are owners of major antique shops, and the rest are senior collectors.
If you want to join the association, you must not only recommend people, but also have a certain level, not only must go through the assessment of the association, but also have a wide open object, and at least one-third of the members can be recognized.
Of course, there are advantages to becoming a member of the association, not to mention the rest, every once in a while, the association will organize an exchange meeting, which is nothing to put it bluntly, just drink tea and chat together to appreciate treasures, or exchange items, of course, sometimes a small auction will be held.
Chu Chen also followed Uncle Wu in the past several exchange meetings before, and he also gained a lot of knowledge, and later with his level rising, after the Spring Festival this year, under the guarantee of Uncle Wu, he will always become a member of the association.
If there is no inheritance, it is difficult for you to get the recognition of the circle, even if you enter the circle, there is no accumulation, and you will not get the real recognition of the circle at all, even if you have the money to buy that many antiques, in the eyes of senior insiders, you are just an explosive household.
To say that Chu Chen was able to join the association. is also because Uncle Wu has face and good popularity. In addition, Uncle Wu is also a child of an antique family, and Zhao Xueyi and Zhu Dafu's ability is not small. Otherwise, with Chu Chen's age, there is no possibility of joining the association at all.
Since it was to communicate, it didn't matter if Liu Laode was so respectful, but Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe had to bring something.
To say that Chu Chen does have a lot of good things, but he doesn't plan to take out such rare treasures as Wu Daozi's paintings, reborn jade cicadas, and incense burners.
After all, this kind of thing is a coveted treasure, although with his current identity is not afraid of someone to take it by force, but as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves, and trouble this kind of thing. Or can less or less.
But except for these three, the others are also good things, which makes it a little difficult for him to choose.
I chose the Ru kiln azure glaze round wash, and suddenly felt that Zheng Banqiao's bamboo and stone map was good, and was about to choose the bamboo and stone map, and felt that the Xuande bronze gilt Manjushri Bodhisattva statue might be more pleasing, so back and forth, he didn't know which one to choose.
Seeing Chu Chen's frowning and somewhat distressed look, Liu Lao smiled: "Okay." You just choose the picture of Dong Yuan's creekbank, which is just right to make this painting see the light of day. ”
“haode……”
After that, Chu Chen took the picture of the river bank, and Liu Sizhe took the Chenghua blue and white jar he eyed, and set off with Liu Lao. Because Liu Lao's body is just right, Liu Qinshu is not at ease and tells her that if she doesn't have something to do today. And she is more relieved that Chu Chen, otherwise she will definitely go with her.
Speaking of which. The reason why Liu Sizhe took the blue and white jar, Chu Chen somewhat knew the reason.
There is no rule that what you bring must be genuine. Some things that you can't get can also be brought to everyone to identify together, whether the things are true or false, you can give everyone a reminder, which is also an invisible benefit of the exchange meeting.
Of course, it's not that there are no things that are imitations, everyone didn't see it, and they were replaced by people they liked, and even if they were looking for trouble, they couldn't find it, after all, the owner said in advance, he couldn't see the things, and he didn't deceive people, you bought the things, that's your eyesight problem, and the zuihou buyer can only admit that he is unlucky.
Chu Chen estimated that Liu Sizhe should have this kind of idea, and Liu Lao would not care about this kind of thing, not because Liu Sizhe is his grandson, but because the antique industry is such a rule, just like if you pick up a leak and won't return the thing, you can only blame him for his bad eyesight.
Since it is an exchange meeting for antique lovers, of course, the location of the exchange meeting will not choose any hotel or café or other places, and generally choose to be in the kind of antique teahouse with decoration, and the location of this party is placed on the second floor of a tea house "Xiangyun Pavilion" not far from the antique city in Beijing.
When Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe accompanied Liu Lao to Xiangyun Pavilion, the second floor of the tea house had already been chartered, and there were not a few people who came at this time.
Needless to say, Liu Lao's reputation in the antique circle can be said that there is no one in the association who does not know him, therefore, everyone is excited to see that Liu Lao will come today, but also a little wondering, is there something big about happening?
In fact, the reason why Liu Lao came over today is very simple, it is to push Chu Chen to the front desk. The reason why Chu Chen was so low-key was because Chu Chen's age was too young for this industry, and being young means inexperienced.
As his apprentice, when he enjoys some convenience, someone will definitely come to call Chu Chen's catty two, and if something goes wrong, not to mention his prestige, it will also be a big blow to Chu Chen.
However, after getting along for a month, Liu Lao found that Chu Chen's learning speed was too amazing, and during the actual combat test, there were few times when the identification was wrong (Chu Chen did not use the ability at that time).
Rainbow is always after the wind and rain, it is good that it is smooth sailing, but it is not necessarily a good thing to be too smooth, and Chu Chen is still young, even if he encounters a setback, there is still time to redeem it.
Therefore, when Liu Lao found that Chu Chen's current level was already very high, he decided to put Chu Chen in everyone's sight, hoping that he could grow into a towering tree of perseverance as soon as possible.
When everyone put down the objects in their hands to greet Liu Lao, Liu Lao also happily introduced Chu Chen to everyone, as for Liu Sizhe, it was just a passing pass, but this is also in line with Liu Sizhe's meaning, he is still a little more relaxed.
Everyone was very surprised when they heard that Liu Lao had actually accepted another disciple, but they immediately reacted and praised Chu Chen for his young talent, of course, what they thought was only known in their own hearts.
After that, Liu Lao naturally got together with a group of older generations who were also highly respected, while Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe were pulled to his side by Zhu Dafu, who had not seen him for a long time.
Zhu Dafu first introduced the surrounding circle of people to Chu Chen, and after everyone greeted him for a while, Zhu Dafu said in a somewhat complaining tone: "Xiaochen, when you exercised recently, you couldn't see your figure, and you didn't come to my store much, wouldn't you forget your rich uncle?" ”
Chu Chen was a little embarrassed when he heard this, since the last time he met Song Jun, he hadn't been to Zhu Dafu's shop twice, but he couldn't help it, after all, he lived in the west of the city now, and he had to study a lot of homework every day, so it was really inconvenient to go to Panjiayuan.
"Uncle Fu, I'm really sorry, it's just that I live in the west of the city now, and I'm preparing for the adult college entrance examination, so I'm a little lazy, and I would like to ask you to do a lot of Haihan!"
Zhu Dafu didn't really complain about Chu Chen, he said this because he cared, and when he heard Chu Chen say this, he waved his hand with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's okay!" It's important to study, and when you're done, let's have a meal together and catch up. ”
"Definitely, definitely!" Chu Chen hurriedly nodded and agreed.
"Nephew Chu Xian, these are the objects we brought, or you have come to hand on them, and said, let us old guys have long eyes!" An old man in his fifties with a goatee pointed to something on the table and said with a smile.
"Hehe, Lao Zhu, all the people here are elders, Xiaochen is young and knowledgeable, how dare he be presumptuous in front of all the elders!" Zhu Dafu immediately gave Chu Chen a round.
"Other realms, Lao Zhu, Chu Xian's nephew is a famous teacher and apprentice, young is young, but it doesn't mean that he is shallow, maybe he is much more powerful than our group of old guys? Besides, the exchange meeting, there must be an exchange and exchange, so let us see the demeanor of the famous teacher and apprentice! ”
The person who spoke was a shopkeeper in his forties, and Chu Chen also had some impressions that this person had a conflict with Zhu Dafu, and it seemed that he had suffered a loss, it seemed that this person was ready to spill his grievances on him.
"Uncles and uncles, then I'll say it, but I'm a shallow learner, if there's anything wrong, please forgive me!"
Zhu Dafu still had something to say, but Chu Chen said it first, at this point, even if Zhu Dafu said anything more, he would definitely have to show his hand, otherwise it would weaken the master's prestige.
Seeing that Chu Chen began to pick up the objects on the table and observe, everyone didn't say anything more, after all, the master was still there, and they didn't dare to tease too much if they gave them 10,000 guts.
There are more than 10 items on the table, including clay pots, pen holders, pen washes, jade, inkstones, copper furnaces, Chinese paintings, etc., as if it is a pocket exhibition.
Chu Chen started to look at the things on his left, and the first thing was a chicken head pot.
The chicken head pot is named because the spout is shaped like a chicken head. It is a kind of porcelain pot popular from the Western Jin Dynasty to the early Tang Dynasty. In the Western Jin Dynasty, the shape of the instrument is smaller than click here to add a picture caption, with a round belly, a chicken head on the shoulder, small and neckless. Some spouts are passable, some are solid, the shoulders are tied, and the bottom is small. In the Eastern Jin Dynasty, its main body is also a round-bellied pan pot, but there is a short neck under the head of the chicken, the beak is rounded from the tip, the crown is heightened, the tail of the chicken disappears, the upper end of the handle is higher than the edge of the mouth, and the shoulder strap is bridge-shaped square.
By the time of the Southern Dynasties, the body of the pot was heightened as a whole, the neck of the chicken was lengthened compared with the previous period, the plate was deepened, the handle was also heightened, and the shoulder system was mostly double-lined. The body of the pot in the Sui Dynasty is higher, the chicken neck is not only longer, but also makes the head cry, the chicken tail handle is molded and sticks to the dragon's head handle, and the switch of the system is also more complicated.
