Chapter 932: Apology (Part II)
Chu Chen picked up the jade bi and looked at it, and found that the jade bi was made of the best white jade, although there were traces of excavation on the surface, but the pulp was wet, and it should be a heirloom jade that has been played with all year round after being unearthed.
This piece of jade, Bi has a profile, the outline part of the openwork double dragon and the flow of cloud pattern, sandwiched in the middle of the "Yi descendants" three words, the handwriting is clear, the edges and corners are clear, meaning many sons and many blessings, auspicious and rich. And the reason why Mr. Zhang sent this piece of jade to Chu Chen is self-evident.
Judging from the carving and some crafts, this should be a work of the Han Dynasty, and on the whole, it should be a masterpiece of the Han Dynasty.
Wu Ke was also very satisfied with Yubi, she said with a smile: "I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang to be a capable person, and after such a while, he actually selected such three good things." β
Chu Chen smiled and nodded, he didn't think that this Zhang was always a capable person, at best, he just happened to have these things at home, because not to mention Mr. Zhang, even if it was him, it was very difficult to get these three things at once, you know, there are so many good things in the world, it is impossible to have anything.
Despite this, Chu Chen is still very satisfied with Mr. Zhang's attitude, after listening to Ning Yi's introduction just now, he knows that Mr. Zhang should have suffered an unwarranted disaster, and this incident actually has little to do with him, after all, not to mention the status of the Chai family, Chai Yongsheng will go down with a carrot and a stick, and it is estimated that he will have to make these little people stunned.
There is no way, the arms can't twist the thighs, if you don't have the strength, or you can't resist the temptation of interests, there will definitely be no good results for carrying the black pot for others. Let's just say that today's thing is done. After calculating the benefits, you may not be able to worry about food and clothing for a lifetime, and you have to leave your hometown. If you don't, you'll be in prison immediately.
Of course. Now that Chu Chen has these people, the treatment will be better, after all, the Chai family has to block these people's mouths. Therefore, on a certain Cheng dΓΉ, they have to thank Chu Chen.
I stole my master's things, and I was in prison when I happened, but I still want to thank my master, you say this thing is ridiculous?
Getting back to the point, the two put their things away, and Wu Ke couldn't wait to open the three brocade boxes sent by Chai Pingle: "I'll take a look." What about the things sent by Chai Pingle, it won't be as good as Mr. Zhang's! β
Chu Chen smiled slightly, and when he was about to speak, he heard the doorbell ringing, so he went to open the door and said with a smile: "Chai Pingle is not a fool, how can he compare the things he brought...... Hey~ When you say that, it's really possible! β
While speaking, Chu Chen really thought of a possibility. That is, what if Mr. Zhang can't swallow this breath and deliberately says that the value of the gift is lower?
Not to mention, Mr. Zhang did this this time. The reason for this is also because Chai Yongsheng did this too inauthentic thing, and he didn't take into account the interests of the hotel and him at all. How could he not be angry?
In addition, Chai Pingle asked the company's veterans to help with the thunder. This decision also made Mr. Zhang feel very chilled. Although the guy who tops up thunder has a bad reputation in the company, people have been following you for so many years. There is no credit and hard work, but in the end, he was thundered by a tough arrangement.
Although Chai Pingle has no way to do this, it still makes people who know the inside story feel very uncomfortable, and feel that Chai Pingle is too ruthless, only considering his own interests, this time for Chai Yongsheng, who can't be supported, let the patriarch give thunder, will it be like this next time?
Even if Chai Pingle swore that he wouldn't, there was still a big question mark in everyone's hearts. As a result, some capable people began to plan to change jobs or leave to start their own businesses.
Mr. Zhang is like this, he has decided that after this incident, he is ready to part ways with Chai Pingle, and during this time he has opened up the relationship, without Chai Pingle's relationship, he can live a very nourishing life.
Although Mr. Zhang was ready to leave, he really couldn't swallow today's breath, so he put Chai Pingle together. β¦β¦
After hearing what Chu Chen said, Wu Ke immediately asked, "What is the reason?" β
"We'll talk about that later."
While speaking, Chu Chen came to the door, opened the door and saw that it was Xu Lao who was standing outside the door.
"Old Xu, why don't you go to rest?"
Xu Lao waved his arm and said with a smile: "I'm fine, besides, Chai Pingle and they sent me some things just now, and I can't sleep." I think you should have this too, right? β
Chu Chen invited Xu Lao into the door and said, "There are indeed some, and each person gave three pieces." β
Xu Lao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he hurriedly said, "Oh! What is it! Show me! β
As he spoke, he walked quickly to the table, and at this time, Wu Ke had already opened a box lid, and there was a blue and white pen holder inside.
"Huh! Interesting! When Xu Lao saw the pen holder, he sighed lightly, and then after obtaining Chu Chen's consent, he picked up the pen holder and looked at it.
In fact, when he saw this pen holder, Chu Chen was also stunned for a moment, and secretly said "hell" in his heart. Next, when Xu Lao observed this pen holder, he also looked at it beside him, but the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, because this thing didn't look like it was an imitation, which made him feel strange, could this be the real thing?
After a while, Elder Xu breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, come and see this pen holder!" β
"What, what's the problem?" Chu Chen asked.
Xu Lao shook his head with a smile: "I don't think there's a problem, I just want to hear your opinion." β
Chu Chen smiled, and then started to observe, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, the reason why he was surprised was because he had already checked this pen holder with his ability just now, and it was determined that it was an imitation, but if he looked closely, ninety-nine percent was exactly the same as the real thing, even if it was one percent, it was ambiguous.
Putting down the pen holder, Chu Chen asked, "Old Xu, when do you think this pen holder was used?" β
Xu Lao replied: "I think it should be the Ming Dynasty Apocalypse Chongzhen period, specifically, it should be the blue and white pen holder of the Chongzhen period, what about you?" β
Chu Chen said: "If you look at the characteristics of the pen holder table, it should indeed be from the Chongzhen period, but I think it may be an imitation." β
"What?! Imitations? Xu Lao's face immediately showed surprise when he heard this, he hurriedly picked up the pen holder and looked at it carefully, and then said, "Xiao Chu, you read it right, right?" This pen holder is obviously the characteristics that tomorrow night's big Apocalypse Chongzhen blue and white should have! β
Speaking of which, he began to list the characteristics of this pen holder in detail: "You see, the carcass is firm and fine white, the carcass is thick, the glaze is white and blue, the glaze layer is thin, and the glaze is hard and flat. The tire is trimmed neatly, and the inner bottom of the utensils can be seen to accumulate glaze. The bottom is a rabbit style, and there are jump knife marks at the bottom, and the toes are slightly pointed, which are the characteristics of fine road porcelain in the Chongzhen period! β
"In addition, you can see that the painting style is similar to Wanli, and it is also painted with a double line and a flat painting in the middle. The painting style is sparse and casual, handsome and lively, freehand and natural, with the charm of ink and wash freehand, and the landscape pictures are painted with thin lines. β
In addition, the bottles, jars, and pen holders of the Chongzhen period are often decorated with two circles of dark engraved patterns on the neck and near the bottom, and some utensils have sauce mouths, which is also a decorative feature to identify Chongzhen's vessels. And there are also on this pen holder, and so on, which can prove that this is a genuine Chongzhen blue and white porcelain, not only genuine, but also a treasure, it can be said that I have seen the best blue and white porcelain in the Chongzhen period! β
In the end, Xu Lao's face couldn't help but show an excited look.
Generally speaking, the porcelain of the private kiln is not as costless as the official kiln porcelain, and the number of fine products is relatively small, but due to the expansion of colonialism and the development of foreign trade, the demand for porcelain in the international market has been broadened. This also makes it possible to make the production of porcelain kilns grow by leaps and bounds from the middle of the Ming Dynasty, and the competition between the kilns has also promoted the development of the industry.
In the Chongzhen period, wars broke out, the government and the opposition were in turmoil, the porcelain production of the official kiln of the porcelain capital was in a state of suspension due to the corruption of the imperial court, and a large number of excellent craftsmen who made porcelain from the official kiln flowed into the people, joined the workshop of producing porcelain from the folk kiln, and the development of the folk kiln received unprecedented technical support, which provided conditions for the rapid development of the porcelain of the folk kiln.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the porcelain kiln industry showed a new style of the times, and the many ornaments of porcelain contained a strong literati atmosphere, the theme was special, and the content was rich, all of which were unprecedented in a generation.
At that time, as the main consumer groups of high-end porcelain, literati and eunuchs, their aesthetic concepts profoundly influenced the creation and decorative patterns of porcelain, thus making porcelain a direct carrier to reflect social changes, and obviously leaving their taste in porcelain paintings.
As one of the scholar's toys, the pen holder broke through the limitations of traditional materials during this period, and began to be fired on a large scale with porcelain as the fetus, and the decorative theme deliberately catered to the needs of social fashion. Among them, the theme of human figures is the most distinctive, reflecting the superb level of porcelain-making and the distinctive literati interest.
However, due to the frequent wars at that time and the decline of the overall porcelain industry, the excellent Qinghua porcelain of the Chongzhen period that can be handed down is still relatively rare.
Like the pen holder in front of me, the shape is huge, the height and diameter are more than 20 centimeters, and whether it is the glaze or the painting, it is not inferior to the official kiln porcelain.
In particular, the painter is a landscape figure with a staggered composition, clear layers, and clear outline lines. The panorama is like a long scroll of ink landscape painting, the brushstrokes are vivid, the brushstrokes are slender and exquisite, the blue and white hair color is bright and bright, with the characteristics of the Ming and Qing Dynasty alternately, it is really a top quality of Chongzhen blue and white.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Lao looked so excited in the end, and at the same time it was hard to believe that such a precious blue and white porcelain would be an imitation.
Fortunately, Xu Lao also knew that when it came to the appraisal of porcelain, Chu Chen should be better than him, and after he calmed down a little, he said a little embarrassed: "Xiao Chu, I'm really sorry, I was so excited just now, but how can you think this pen holder is an imitation?"
