But perhaps because the authorities were fascinated, the old man didn't think of this problem at all, and shook his head again and again:

"That's not good, this thing is worth so much money, spend so much money, say it, everyone else will use me as a mallet, up to 300!"

"Then you put it down, I can't sell it at a loss, you say it's not worth it, I'll put it here, and let a fool buy it one day......"

Since the old man fell in love with this doubletch, he must be reluctant to give up, and then, the two sides inked for a long time, and finally the old man gave the fellow 2800 yuan, and the fellow was extremely reluctant.

Then, the old man asked, "Little brother, what other good things do you have?" You see the two things you sold me, but they are not very good, what's the matter, you have to build one for me, if it weren't for Lao Zhou's face this time, and I don't want to come in vain, otherwise I will definitely not buy it! ”

The fellow thought for a while, and said slowly: "There is still one thing, but the price you give is too low, I have to lose money on this bottle, if I don't take it back for so long and haven't sold it, I won't sell it to you, you still want me to give you something, it's definitely impossible." ”

When the old man heard him say this, his expression immediately changed, and he said with a smiling face: "It's okay, it's okay, show me the things, the price is easy to say." ”

The fellow looked at the old man with a reluctant expression, and at this time, the guide walked in from outside the door and said, "Hey, why are you not doing well! ”

The fellow briefly explained the matter, and the guide waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay." Take out your stuff and see what else it can do. Hurry up, hurry up, I'll have to take them to the fourth master's side later." I don't dare to keep him waiting too long! ”

When the fellow heard what the guide said, he quickly took out a bag from the table drawer next to the bed, opened the layers of baggage, and there were a few brushes inside.

Seeing a few brushes in the baggage, the young man who followed the old man couldn't help but pout. It's like saying, isn't it just a few brushes? What's the point!

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen smiled secretly, if young people can continue to play in the antique industry, they will know that the four treasures of the study belong to the top grade among miscellaneous. And the brush only needs to be a hundred years. The price will be very high, and the slightly better ones can basically be auctioned by Guardian.

Chu Chen took a closer look and found that these brushes were good, among which the materials of the pen barrels were red, yellow pear and ivory, etc., although the style was from the Qing Dynasty, most of them were worth more than 5,000 yuan.

So, Chu Chen quietly kicked Qi Baofu and Cao Jingde with his feet. Let them not miss the brushes, and both of them nodded slightly in understanding.

The old man took the brush and pretended to look at it for a while. In the end, I chose the largest one, and I didn't ask the price, so I said to the fellow: "Okay, you said you accompanied the bottle just now, this brush, I'll give you 1,000 yuan, okay, let you make a big profit this time." ”

When Chu Chen saw the old man's choice, he knew in his heart that this old man probably didn't know how to pretend to understand, obviously there was a good one, but he chose the most vain one, and other brushes basically had more than five thousand, and this brush had the lowest value, only less than two thousand.

When the fellow heard this, he hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, the brush is a good thing, and I will take it back for 2,000 yuan!" ”

The old man said with a displeased face: "Forget it, you still have 2000 back?" Give me 1000 and ask for it, don't pull it! ”

The fellow thought about it, and finally sold it to the old man.

The old man chose a brush, and there were six left, Chu Chen and the others originally wanted to choose two each, but the fellow refused, and only agreed to choose one for each person.

So, Chu Chen asked Qi Baofu to choose first, and then he took the most valuable red brush into his pocket.

After the money and goods were cleared, the group followed the guide out of the door.

When he got outside, the guide said, "Boss Cao, I've already gone over there to talk about it, but you have to be prepared, the price of things is not cheap!" ”

Cao Jingde looked at Chu Chen and Qi Baofu, and when he saw that they were all right, he said, "Old Zhou, as long as the things are good, there is no problem on our side." ”

Actually, judging from the cousin of the fellow just now, the guide and him should be in a gang, and the two of them worked together to deceive people. However, the things they took out were not very good, as long as they had a little eyesight, they could see it, and as for the old man, being deceived was also a problem of his own eyesight.

To be honest, now that he knows that this guide is likely to be a liar, Cao Jingde really doesn't want to go to the next house with him, but this matter is what they asked for before, and it will definitely not work if they don't agree, anyway, there is Chu Chen's reassurance, and there is no problem in agreeing.

Seeing that Chu Chen and they agreed, the guide said again: "Then let's talk about the cost, I want three points, how about it?" ”

Three points may not seem like much, but if the value of the thing is high, it is considerable, for example, if it is million, there will be 30,000 benefits, which is also very good.

For Chu Chen, as long as the thing is good, even if the thing is worth tens of millions, he will not be ambiguous about this benefit, and Cao Jingde and Qi Baofu also said that there is no problem.

The guide smiled and nodded: "Let this matter be settled, will you come with me?" ”

At this time, the old man asked, "Old Zhou, can we go to see the world together?" ”

With what he had just gained, he was also very satisfied, but when he heard about something of higher value, his heart began to itch, and he wanted to go over and see what it was.

The guide looked at Chu Chen and them, and when he saw that they didn't say anything, he smiled and said, "No problem......"

The group followed the guide around to the door of a farmer's house, and during this time, perhaps because he felt that he had gained a lot today, the old man whispered to the young man next to him for a while.

He said: "Look at the bottom of that old porcelain, it's all dirty, not clean, you think, that thing has been used for so many years, and everywhere you put it, the bottom must be dirty." And when you touch it with your hand, it definitely feels like it's scratching. ”

Hearing this, the young man asked curiously, "Master, why is this?" ”

The old man smiled and said: "The reason is simple, you think, things have been put for so many years, no matter what it is, even if it is a large piece or a standing piece, someone will always wipe it, and sometimes it will be moved, so that the bottom of the porcelain is often rubbed, and it must not be so smooth, and there will be a feeling of scratching your hands." ”

"In addition, when the maid wipes the porcelain with a rag, the rag is not clean, and there are some small dust particles on it, which will grind the surface of the porcelain, which is the trace of use, if you master these two points, it will definitely not be eye-catching!"

Chu Chen's ears are good, he listened to the old man's words word for word, and when he heard the end, he almost burst out laughing.

You have to say, the experience of the old man is right? There must be some truth in that, but this theory can only be effective for a part of porcelain.

To give you a simple example, a lot of things in the palace are completely open. The seal was not opened. Seal, such as the Domu pot in the Forbidden City, after it is burned, it is not taken out when it is placed in the box, where is the trace of use? Where did the bottom come from that is dirty? The thing still has a shiny like new.

The old man taught his apprentice like this, which was completely misleading, and the young man nodded excitedly, probably taking this statement as a valuable experience and wealth.

However, it is not convenient for Chu Chen to say more about this kind of thing, after all, everyone is not familiar with it, so he told the other party that the theory that his master said was wrong, and the young man did not think that he had ulterior motives.

The guide knocked on the door of the famous house, and after a while, a young man in his thirties came and opened the door.

"Uncle Zhou, you're here!" The young man smiled and greeted the guide, then nodded to the others.

The guide also smiled and greeted the young man, and then the young man led everyone into the hall. At this time, in addition to an old man in his seventies sitting in the room, not far from the old man's face, there was also a thing covered with a cloth.

The guide said respectfully to the old man sitting in the hall: "Fourth master, I brought the guests here!" ”

The fourth master nodded, and then said: "I won't say more nonsense, I'll just say a little, you can see this thing, but you can't touch it with your hands, of course, if you can buy it, it doesn't matter if you touch it with your hands." ”

When Chu Chen heard this, he asked, "Fourth Master, how much are you going to ask for this thing?" ”

"Two million! Not a single point less! As he spoke, the fourth master gestured with his hand.

Hearing that the thing was going to sell for two million, Chu Chen was fine, and the others were a little shocked, especially the young man, who looked even more dumbfounded.

Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "No problem!" ”

"Everyone, please!"

The fourth master made a request to everyone, and then the young man took down the cloth covering the things.

"It's a bell!"

When Chu Chen saw the whole picture of things, he couldn't help but be stunned, and Qi Baofu next to him immediately exclaimed.

The bell is an ancient percussion instrument, made of bronze in ancient times, also known as the "special bell", and played with a wooden mallet. The bell is relative to the bell, the latter is the braided suspension, and the former is the special suspension.

This piece of bell is covered with tiles, the reverse buckle is combined, the body is raised with 36 copper nails, the front and back are inscribed, the body and the yang side are engraved with the imperial inscription of the Qianlong Emperor, the name of the bell is cast on the back, and the whole body is gilded.

In the ancient legal system, an octave was divided into twelve incompletely equal semitones using the method of dividing an octave into twelve incompletely equal semitones. The twelve laws of yin and yang are six each, and when the twelve months are darkly combined, the laws from low to high are: Huang Zhong, Da Lu, Tai Tuan, Jia Zhong, Gu Xi, Zhong Lu, Rui Bin, Lin Zhong, Yi Ze, Nan Lu, Wu Shot, Ying Zhong.

On the other hand, the twelve bells are not displayed in time, only the clocks of the law of the current month, such as the yellow bell in November, the Da Lu in December, the Tai cluster in the first month, and so on. And the rhythm of this piece of bell is "Zhonglu", which is the sixth of the twelve bells. (To be continued......)
