Hearing this, Wen Haoyang also showed an angry look on his face, and said: "You are too unreasonable, it's obvious that you don't pay attention when you walk, why do you blame me?" If you don't look at what I'm taking, will I not look at the road? ”

I saw Wen Haoyang holding a fifty or sixty centimeter-long cardboard box in his hand, judging from the way he carefully held the box, he shouldn't even look at the road when he walked. ↖

Chen Laiming sneered: "It's as if the thing in my hand is very small, besides, didn't you hit me first just now?" ”

Wen Haoyang said angrily: "I don't have a clairvoyant eye, I will see you suddenly rushing out of the door, you are all adults in your thirties and forties, don't you know that you have to be careful at this time?" ”

At this time, Chu Chen had already learned about the situation from the security guard, it was nothing more than Chen Laiming suddenly came out of the door and caught Wen Haoyang off guard, so the two collided together, but because Chen Laiming reacted quickly, the two did not have any loss.

Seeing that the two of them were still arguing, Chu Chen stepped forward and said with a smile: "Both, if there is anything, let's go to my office to solve it." ”

Hearing this, Chen Laiming and Wen Haoyang both looked a little embarrassed, and they all nodded in agreement.

Chu Chen took the two to his office, during which he also made an introduction to the two parties, but it is estimated that the two are a little wrong, even if Chu Chen is in the middle of the adjustment, the two of them react relatively coldly.

The three of them exchanged a few words and talked about their intentions, in fact, needless to say, everyone should know that they came to ask Chu Chen to help identify things.

First of all. Wen Haoyang took the things out of the box and said, "Curator Chu." Could you please help me take a look at this Tang Qinghua four-series can? ”

After returning from Baozhou, Wen Haoyang has been keeping in touch with Chu Chen on the Internet. often asks Chu Chen about antiques, and he is diligent and studious, drawing inferences from others, Chu Chen still admires him.

"Tang Qinghua!"

At this time, Chen Laiming listened to Wen Haoyang's words, and after being stunned, he suddenly burst out laughing: "You actually said that you have Tang Qinghua, it's just laughing to death!" ”

Wen Haoyang sneered: "What's wrong with Tang Qinghua? Don't you know that blue and white porcelain first appeared in the Tang Dynasty? ”

Chen Laiming said with an exaggerated expression: "Yes, there are indeed blue and white flowers in the Tang Dynasty. But do you know how many pieces of blue and white complete vessels from the Tang Dynasty have been unearthed? I think you're only working-class, tell me how much you paid for it? ”

Blue and white porcelain first appeared in the Tang Dynasty, but the production of blue and white porcelain in the Tang Dynasty was not yet mature, and it was interrupted for a time with the decline of the firing kiln. But in any case, Tang Qinghua has also left a strong mark in the history of ceramics.

The blue and white porcelain of the Tang Dynasty was first discovered in the 1970s, and the remnants of Tang blue and white porcelain (pieces) were unearthed in archaeological excavations, which solved the controversy over whether "blue and white porcelain" first appeared in the Tang Dynasty or the Song Dynasty. Later, blue and white porcelain of the Tang Dynasty was also found in many places across the country, but most of them were small pieces or fragments. There are only a handful of completeness.

Because of this, Chu Chen also felt that what Chen Laiming said was not good. But with Wen Haoyang's economic strength, unless he picks up leaks or borrows money, it is really not enough to buy a genuine product.

Wen Haoyang snorted coldly: "It's true or not, you will know if you have seen it!" ”

After speaking. He put the Tang Qinghua he said in front of Chu Chen.

When he saw this real thing, Chu Chen was slightly stunned, because this blue and white porcelain was indeed more like the style of Tang blue and white.

Saw. This blue and white jar has a straight mouth and a bulging belly. Lap foot. The shoulders are decorated with four claws, and the back is arched and looked back. The four claws are tiled, the tail is naturally drooping, and there is a lotus flower between the claws, and the lotus flower as a symbol of Buddhism appeared on many works of art in the Tang Dynasty, which has a very close relationship with the importance of Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty.

The abdomen is still decorated with plastic as the opening light, and the character pattern is mainly used in the opening light, and there is a boy pattern pasted between the opening light, holding flowers and leaves, and the face is simple and cute. The plastic part of this can is cobalt blue material for coating, there are traces of flow, and the cobalt material used in the same period of Tang Sancai and the color is consistent, the tone is bright and bright, elegant and generous, simple and hearty.

Chu Chen had also studied several remnants found in the Jinling Museum in the mid-70s of the last century, and if this was a real artifact, it could be said that there was another major breakthrough in Tang Qinghua's physical research.

Seeing Chu Chen's solemn expression, Chen Laiming was very surprised, and muttered: "Didn't you say that Tang Qinghua's existence is controversial?" And the real thing is rarely found, is this really a real thing? ”

Hearing this, Chu Chen raised his head and asked, "What's the controversy?" ”

Chen Laiming scratched his head, and said with a smile: "I also heard from a friend, he said that there are five elements to identify whether it is blue and white porcelain, first, high-temperature white porcelain; Second, high temperature pure transparent white glaze; Third, cobalt oxide is used as the raw material for blue and white flowers; Fourth, the plain tire pattern is depicted with a brush; Fifth, a transparent glaze was applied to the ornament, and the underglaze color was fired at high temperature. ”

"And Tang Qinghua can be sure that there are only two points that meet, that is, the use of cobalt material for blue and white and underglaze color. Other aspects are a bit more controversial. For example, the tire is not white enough, and the soil is not pure; Some utensils are also cosmetic soil on the surface, which is not a high-temperature transparent white glaze; Many underglaze patterns are at best 'blue', not paintings, and so on. Of course, these are all things that my friend said, and I don't have much research on this aspect, so I don't know if it's right or not. ”

Hearing this, Chu Chen said with a smile: "I have also heard what you said, but I don't think your friend has figured out the comparison object, and now the definition of blue and white porcelain you give is for mature blue and white or directly from the definition of Yuan blue and white, and maturity must have its clues, to the formation of a prototype, and then gradually develop the process." For example, an adult pig is called a pig, but isn't a newborn pig called a pig? ”

"Uh......" Chen Laiming was a little speechless when he heard Chu Chen's words, while Wen Haoyang's face showed a smug look.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Let's get down to business, Mr. Wen, can you tell me the origin of this thing?" ”

Wen Haoyang nodded and said: "This piece of blue and white porcelain was when I was a guest at my aunt's house in the countryside a few days ago, and my uncle-in-law heard that I usually buy antiques, and told me that there is a person in the village who has old objects. After taking me there, I found out that he didn't offer a high price. At the time, I didn't see which dynasty it was, but I thought it was old-fashioned. I bought it. ”

"After I came back, I carefully checked the information, only to find out that it was Tang Qinghua, but I was not sure, so I wanted you to take a look."

Although Wen Haoyang didn't say the price, if what he said was true, this four-series jar should not be expensive, which made Chen Laiming next to him can't help but show a look of envy in his eyes, if this thing is genuine. That Wen Haoyang has picked up a big leak of tens of millions.

"If you want to prove whether it is really Tang Qinghua, then we should first know the characteristics of Tang Qinghua."

Chu Chen nodded and explained: "Judging from the Tang blue and white porcelain pieces unearthed now, its green material has a strong color and crystalline spots, and it is a low-manganese, low-iron, copper-containing cobalt material, which should be a cobalt material imported from Central and Western Asia. The tire is coarse and loose, beige gray, and the sintering degree is poor. The bottom glaze is white and yellowish. The enamel is coarse. Apply makeup soil between the glazes. ”

"Tang Qinghua's utensils are mainly small pieces, including complexes, bowls, cans, lids, etc. Except for one piece of fish algae pattern jar, the rest are flower and grass patterns. Among them, the flower and grass patterns are divided into two categories, one is the typical traditional flowers and plants. Small flowers such as caryophyllus and plum blossoms are common; The other type is to sandwich loose leaf patterns in geometric figures such as diamonds, which is a typical arabesque pattern. ”

"From this point of view, combined with the Tang Qinghua unearthed more sites. It can be proved that Tang blue and white porcelain is mainly for export. ”

Hearing this, Wen Haoyang seemed a little uneasy. He asked anxiously, "Curator Chu, what did you say?" Tang Qinghua like me is actually a hysterical product? ”

Chu Chen shook his head: "Is this so, after all, we don't have many Tang Qinghua unearthed now, and we can't be sure how many decorative techniques there are." Therefore, although this artifact is not the same as the Tang Qinghua unearthed in the past, the key is to see if its tire, glaze, green material and other aspects meet the requirements of Tang Qinghua. ”

Wen Haoyang hurriedly asked, "Is it conforming?" ”

Chu Chen shook his head regretfully: "I'm sorry, although this thing is more similar to Tang Qinghua in other places, but it is said that Tang Qinghua's hair color has crystalline spots, and it doesn't, plus here...... Therefore, I think, it should just be a fake. ”

Hearing this result, Wen Haoyang felt very disappointed, and although Chen Laiming next to him had no expression on his face, he saw a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes, which made Chu Chen feel disgusted with Chen Laiming in his heart.

Originally, because of the suspicion that Chen Laiming might be a member of Cai Jianxuan's gang, Chu Chen's first impression of him was not good. In addition, it was obviously just an accident just now, and the main responsibility was still on Chen Laiming, but Chen Laiming had been unrelenting, which made Chu Chen's impression of him even worse, and now he was even more disgusted.

Wen Haoyang said with a wry smile: "Fortunately, the price is not expensive, only a thousand yuan, so you should buy a high-level handicraft." ”

"A thousand dollars?" Chen Laiming said with some doubts: "This is not right, just by the quality of this thing, it takes a lot of effort to make zuò people, which means that its cost is not low, in this case, why did the seller sell it for only a thousand yuan, didn't he calculate the cost?" ”

Hearing this, Chu Chen and Wen Haoyang were a little stunned, this is indeed contrary to common sense, fakes are made to sell for money, especially this kind of high-end fakes, saying that it is just to make a lot of money, and no one will believe it!

In this way, there are two possibilities, either the person who sold Wen Haoyang is a fool, or Wen Haoyang lied, in comparison, the latter possibility is still higher.

Thinking of this, Wen Haoyang opened his mouth, a little unsure of what to say, and after a while, he said with a bitter smile: "Director Chu, I swear, this thing must have been bought by me from my aunt's village." ”

Chen Laiming said sarcastically: "Then you mean that the person who sells your things is a fool?" ”

"You ......" Looking at Chen Laiming's sneering appearance, Wen Haoyang was also a little angry, but when he opened his mouth, his mobile phone rang.

"What? Uncle, do you say it again? ”

Wen Haoyang gestured to Chu Chen, then went to the side to pick up the phone, and after a while, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he walked back to his place quickly.

The hands-free function was turned on on the mobile phone, and Chu Chen heard the voice of a middle-aged man on the phone, and the other party said, "That's the case." Old man Shen told me that he wanted to buy back the jar he sold you. ”

"Why?" Wen Haoyang asked.

He said. His son didn't actually let him sell it, he made a mistake. He also said. If you give it back to him, he can give him a thousand dollars more. How about it, do you say yes? ”

"Uh......" Wen Haoyang looked at Chu Chen, indicating that he had indeed not deceived Chu Chen.

"Haoyang, didn't you see Old Man Shen's blue nose and swollen face when he was beaten by his son, your aunt and I both felt pain when we looked at it, I think he could have an extra thousand yuan. Of course, if that jar is indeed a treasure, we don't need to be complacent. ”

"Uncle. Did he say why his son put the jar with him? ”

"I said, it was his son who didn't tell his daughter-in-law when he bought something, and his daughter-in-law blamed him, so he temporarily put the jar at Old Man Shen's place, and he was in a hurry at the time, and he didn't explain it clearly, Old Man Shen thought it didn't matter, so he sold it to you."

Hear here. Everyone understood what was going on, Wen Haoyang also breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately agreed to the matter, and after chatting a few more words. I hung up.

Putting away the phone, Wen Haoyang smiled: "What did I say, there is a mistake in ten **!" ”

Chu Chen smiled and nodded. He still admires Wen Haoyang more, if today's events are not explained. His impression of Wen Haoyang will definitely lose a considerable number of points, and now that he has learned the truth. His mood was also much better.

"Director Chu, please help me take a look at my things."

At this time, Chen Laiming put the things he brought in front of Chu Chen with a smile on his face.

To be honest, if Chu Chen hadn't promised Chen Laiming before that he would help Chen Laiming identify things, based on Chen Laiming's impression in his heart now, it would be strange that he would agree. But since he agreed to it at the beginning, it was inconvenient for him to refuse.

Chen Laiming brought a total of two things, one is the three-slap lock that he said at the beginning, it looks really inconspicuous, but it is a genuine product in the late Qing Dynasty, but because the quality is not good, and the production of zuò is quite simple, it is just an ordinary copper lock, although it also has some collection value, but it is not high.

The other thing is a stupa painted on a carmine ground.

As mentioned above, the royal family of the Qing court all believed in Buddhism, among which Qianlong was his self-proclaimed "son of the Buddha's heart", and he paid homage to Wutai six times in his life, and it took decades to complete the engraving and printing of the Han and Manchurian Tripitaka.

In addition to the traditional gold and copper materials, the porcelain Tibetan Buddhist treasures that the porcelain imperial kiln factory was ordered to burn, which is quite distinctive, exquisite craftsmanship, breathtaking, a large number, extremely prosperous for a while, and a strange thing that has never been seen in a generation.

Like the painted pagoda in front of you is the exquisite representative of Qianlong porcelain magic vessels, only Qianlong once had, the shape can be divided into two kinds, a kind of four corners with Buddha, a four corners without Buddha, Chen Laiming brought the pagoda is the latter one.

The whole body of this tower is decorated from top to bottom compact and dense, for example, the upper part of the tower is the gourd Ruyi treasure top painted with gold color decoration beads; The canopy is decorated with carmine ground pastel floral patterns, and the cover is surrounded by blue colors painted with auspicious cloud patterns.

The shoulders are painted with Tibetan Buddhism's unique animal patterns and Yingluo flower patterns; The main body of the abdomen is decorated with entwined branches; The main body of the seat surface of Sumeru is decorated with a yellow ground pastel hook lotus pattern, and the shoulders, shin and steps of the seat are decorated with curly grass patterns, upturned lotus petal patterns, covered lotus petal patterns, back lines, bead patterns and floral decorative bands...... And so on, it can be said that the painting is exquisite, the color material is exquisite, gorgeous and brilliant, showing the solemn and gorgeous royal temperament.

To say, in terms of painting and other aspects, this pagoda has to be said to be a treasure, but because of some speculation about Chen Laiming's identity, as soon as the thing came into his eyes, Chu Chen felt that something was wrong.

Chu Chen has seen a lot of this kind of pagoda before, and the lowest height is more than forty centimeters, and this pagoda Chu Chen is estimated to be only about thirty centimeters, and he has seen it for the first time, this is one.

Second, the luster of the pagoda is not right, and there is a problem with the feel in the hand, and after carefully observing a few details, Cai Jianxuan's traces of craftsmanship are not too obvious in Chu Chen's eyes, and it is self-evident who is from it.

"Is that the only way to do it?"

Chu Chen sneered in his heart, he originally felt that the trip to Baozhou was too strange, it shouldn't be so simple, the reason why he didn't start at the beginning, now it seems that he still has the idea of hanging a big fish for a long time, but he closed the net after such a while, which really made him feel too disappointed.

"Curator Chu. What do you think of these two things? Seeing Chu Chen put down the things in his hand, Chen Laiming hurriedly asked.

Chu Chen shook his head slightly: "I can't see this pagoda accurately. ”

"Ahh No way! Listened to the results given by Chu Chen. Chen Laiming had a stunned look on his face.

Seeing this, Chu Chen felt a little funny. feels that Chen Laiming's failure to be an actor is really a big loss to the country, and now it looks like it is completely revealing his true feelings, and this acting skill can kill most actors in seconds.

After a while, Chen Laiming cried with a sad face and asked, "Teacher Chu, please comment on this pagoda of mine." ”

Although Chu Chen had already decided that Chen Laiming was acting, he didn't want to tear his face with Chen Laiming for the time being, so he pointed out a few flaws. In fact. He originally planned to point out all the flaws, but after talking for a while, he suddenly had an idea, what if Cai Jianxuan was planning to use him to make up for the shortcomings of the process?

As the old saying goes, it is often the enemy who knows himself best, and the level of falsification like Cai Jianxuan's current should almost be a bottleneck. And for people like Cai Jianxuan. It's not scary to spend energy, it's scary not to know what you're doing wrong.

In this case, Chu Chen's comments are likely to play a role. It's hard to say, maybe because of Chu Chen's words, Cai Jianxuan broke through a long-thinking problem.

Perhaps precisely for this purpose. Cai Jianxuan arranged a game that looked very clumsy.

Chu Chen, who was contemplative, felt that this possibility was more likely the more he thought about it. Although Cai Jianxuan is about to be caught, he will never do the behavior of "capital enemy".

listened to Chu Chen's explanation. Chen Lai was obviously very disappointed, and he didn't even ask about the authenticity of the three-slap lock, so he packed up his things and said goodbye to Chu Chen.

After Chen Laiming left, Wen Haoyang shook his head and said, "Although this person is not very polite, he is also strange and pitiful, such a thing, I want to get a lot of money, right?" ”

"If it's genuine, there should be hundreds of thousands." Chu Chen nodded, because he was related to Cai Jianxuan's gang, he didn't say anything to Wen Haoyang.

Wen Haoyang didn't care much about Chen Laiming, and then, he asked Chu Chen some questions about Tang Qinghua, this attitude of grasping learning whenever he had the opportunity reminded Chu Chen of himself at the beginning, and his good impression of Wen Haoyang also increased a lot.

chatted until noon, Chu Chen invited Wen Haoyang to have a light meal in the museum's cafeteria, don't think that the grade here is poor, the chef invited by Chu Chen is not simple, the delicious food made Wen Haoyang almost swallow his tongue.

After eating, Wen Haoyang happily said goodbye to Chu Chen, and Chu Chen also drove to his antique shop to prepare for Song Jun's arrival.

Originally, Song Jun said that he would not be able to arrive in the capital until the evening, but at noon, he called again and said that he had eliminated all difficulties and was now boarding a plane at Shanghai Airport and would be able to arrive in Beijing in the afternoon.

When they came to the antique shop, Zhu Dafu and Zhao Xueyi also arrived.

Zhu Dafu said with a smile: "Xiao Song is really, isn't it just half a day, why are you in such a hurry, things won't fall, and his temperament is a little too anxious." ”

Zhao Xueyi laughed and said: "Being able to become a master in a certain field is often because of the persistence in my heart, if Master Song is not like this, I still think it is strange." Also, don't say that you won't be like this when you encounter something you like! ”

Zhu Dafu smiled: "What you said also makes sense, but it's a pity that I didn't become a master, otherwise it would be my turn to let Liu Lao snatch Xiaochen over as an apprentice, speaking of which, this is the regret of my life!" ”

Chu Chen hurriedly smiled and said, "Uncle Fu, although you are not my master, you will always be my beloved master, but you are just not apprenticed." ”

Zhu Dafu laughed: "I can listen to Xiaochen's words comfortably......"

After laughing for a while, under the leadership of the clerk, the dusty Song Jun appeared in front of everyone.

"Song ......"

As soon as everyone was about to say hello, Song Jun hurriedly said to Chu Chen: "What about your azure mud, show me quickly......" (To be continued.)
