Yan Lao listened to what Hua Lao said, shook his head and said: "I think it's better to forget it, have you forgotten that in July last year, your cousin didn't give him money, and he was able to pour feces into the room, just with such a scoundrel character, what kind of reason would you use if you gave him money?" To tell you the truth, I don't think he will thank you, but he may not be able to scold you! ”

When Chu Chen heard this, he felt very speechless, if he had such a son, he would have called the police and kicked him out of the house and severed the father-son relationship, Hua Lao's cousin is still used to it, this has completely turned love into harm, and he will have to suffer in the future.

Hua Lao sighed when he heard this, not to mention, with the character of his nephew, the possibility that Yan Lao said was really very big, but after all, he was a junior, if it really reached the point of exhaustion, he couldn't do it. But his nephew's temperament, he also had to guard against it, because of this, every time he traded, he asked his nephew to sign an agreement, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

"Forget it, let's talk about it then, maybe by that day, I'll be gone."

Hua Lao laughed at himself, and then said to Chu Chen with some embarrassment: "Director Chu, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect him to come today, I knew this, I took something to you for identification." ”

Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand and said, "Elder Hua, this really doesn't matter. ”

Hua Lao smiled bitterly: "You don't know how thick-skinned this guy is, I estimate that after a while, when he runs out of money, he may come to your museum to find you." ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Come on, just come here, just add some collections to my museum." ”

To be honest, the last thing Chu Chen is afraid of is a scoundrel, if Hua Lao's nephew can be honest, he won't care, otherwise, don't blame him for being polite.

Seeing that Chu Chen didn't care. Hua Lao sighed secretly, hoping that his nephew wouldn't do anything out of the ordinary at that time.

Next, Hua Lao went to take out the things he bought from Ding Laowei. In addition to one thing that was packed in a box, the other two were ancient cold weapons. They are a knife and a ceremonial sword.

Seeing this, Chu Chen smiled and asked, "Old Hua, it seems that you like to collect cold weapons." ”

Hua Lao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I still prefer porcelain, as for cold weapons, it is mainly influenced by my usual love of martial arts, plus now the collection of cold weapons is not valued by everyone, and the price is not expensive, so I want to buy some and wait for appreciation." ”

Chu Chen smiled and nodded. Hua Lao's idea should be said to be very correct, and the number of ancient iron official knives on the collection market is very limited. A considerable part of these preserved official knives are also in a very unsatisfactory state of preservation, and the so-called "original, original, and original grinding" pursued in the collection has basically become a myth. Even if you only collect knives and broken equipment, it is difficult for Tibetan friends to have a big harvest in the collection market.

But on the other hand, in the entire collection circle, the collection of ancient cold weapons has not received enough attention, and even the shape of many famous knives is still numerous. For example, what the embroidered spring knife just mentioned looks like, there is no authoritative enough statement now.

Because there are not many cold weapons on the market, plus they are not very valued. The price is also high and low, so the probability of buying a good weapon at a relatively low price is still very high, but collect this kind of item. It is also important to note that there are some restrictions on knives in the law.

Chu Chen first picked up an iron knife on the table, this knife has a straight blade, a large knife head, and the angle between the tip of the knife is about 45 degrees. Unlike most hindwing knife types. This type of knife has a unique shape, with a mouth-like bulge about 10 centimeters away from the root of the knife, and as a boundary, the back of the knife becomes a reverse blade through the blade, and a fine blood groove parallel to the back of the knife is also opened to the tip of the knife.

In fact, there is a unified name for knives like this, which is called "Gongbu waist knife". And, except that the weight is different. There is a uniform format for the shape and style of these tools, and all of them are well-made.

To know. In the ancient times of handicraft swords, it was not easy to manufacture swords in batches in a fixed style, and it was possible to gather multiple departments for a relatively long time, produce in the same style, and tailor waist knives for each user, I am afraid that only the unified dispatch of feudal dynasties can do, and the army that uses and equips this sophisticated weapon is by no means an ordinary army, not an elite army or a royal guard.

Because it is difficult to find the corresponding name of this type of knife system in many ancient documents, the source and name are still unknown. And because this kind of knife is mostly engraved with the words "made by the Ministry of Industry xxx" at the protrusion of the knife root, so there is a name such as "Ministry of Industry waist knife".

Generally speaking, the Gongbu waist knife is considered to be the standard weapon equipped by the royal guards from Wanli to Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty, and it has been handed down to the present day and is relatively rare in good condition.

However, Hua Lao's waist knife is very well made, except for some embroidery marks on the knife body, the knife handle, scabbard, etc. are well preserved, and even the gilt on the knife handle decoration has been retained for most of it, so it is still relatively rare.

Putting the knife back, Chu Chen took the sword in his hand again, only to see that the sword had two blood grooves on both sides, wide at the back and sharp at the front, the handle was wrapped in black rope, the wooden scabbard, the skin was dyed green, and the edge of the scabbard, the sword space, the scabbard, and the hilt were inlaid with multiple pieces of gilt copper plates. In addition, the body of this sword has the engraving of the Qianlong period.

Seeing that Chu Chen had seen these two cold weapons, Hua Lao hurriedly asked, "Director Chu, how are these two weapons?" ”

Chu Chen smiled: "It's all genuine." ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, Elder Hua breathed a sigh of relief, and then he hurriedly took out the contents of the box, which were an agate snuff box and a pair of colorful bowls.

Among them, the snuff bottle is made of excellent materials, the whole piece of rock sugar agate with skin, transparent and lovely, one side carves a master with a boy to explore the plum in the mountain, and the other side carves a spirit monkey behind the tree with color, looking back at the Ganoderma lucidum on the mountain. The faces of the people and animals are beautifully depicted and layered. Chu Chen can be sure that this is genuine.

And when Chu Chen saw the other pair of colorful bowls, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then took the thing in his hand and observed it carefully.

This pair of colorful bowls, the bottom of the "Ming Dynasty Wanli Year" double circle double line six-character regular script, the outer wall painted Zhang Tianshi cut five poison maps, this kind of decorative theme, should belong to the Wanli period of the imperial kiln factory specially for the palace firing for the Dragon Boat Festival items. It means "poisoning and warding off evil spirits".

The outer wall of this pair of colored bowls is set against the background of pine and strange stones, and Zhang Tianshi in the center of the picture wears a golden crown and holds a sword. Step on top of the scorpion and slash the snake with your sword. A small boy holds a lingzhi and stands on the ground, a toad stands on a strange rock, and a centipede gives birth to wings and flies in the air.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that although the multicolored bowls are displayed in pairs, the center of the plate is decorated with a fire dragon and a green dragon motif. Although the two dragons are similar in shape, they both climb up the dragon body. The limbs are extended, the five claws are open, and the dragon's head is looking squarely. But the demeanor is different, the fire dragon person, angry eyes, standing beard and teeth, rugged and domineering display; The green dragon, with white eyebrows and kind eyes, and a face and beard, has the posture of looking down on all beings.

This pair of multicolored porcelain bowls. It is very rare to appear in pairs, and the craftsmanship is exquisite and the colors are gorgeous. It should be a pair of exquisite treasures.

It's just that this pair of treasures made Chu Chen frown, which made Hua Lao feel that his heart was about to jump out when he saw it, and he hurriedly asked, "Curator Chu, is there any problem with this five-colored bowl?" ”

Chu Chen shook his head: "These two things are genuine, it's just ...... Please wait a minute......"

As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the side to make a phone call, which made Hua Lao and Yan Lao look at each other a little. I can't figure out what happened, since it's all genuine. Then how could Chu Chen have such a look?

"Achen, what's the matter?"

"Master. That's the case, last month I saw a magazine with you about colorful porcelain, didn't it publish a pair of Wanli Wucai Zhang Tianshi's five poison bowls in the collection of the XX Museum? ”

"Hmm...... It's true, what's wrong? ”

"I've seen the same bowl now."

"Oh!" Liu Lao's tone became solemn: "You mean, what you see now is likely to be the pair from the museum?" ”

"Yes."

"Do you have any proof? It's not necessarily the same thing, right? In case you're a fake......"

Speaking of this, Liu Lao paused, because he couldn't believe that Chu Chen would actually miss in the identification of Wanli colorful porcelain.

"Tell me what happened." Liu Lao continued.

"That's the case...... Chu Chen briefly recounted the things except for Hua's nephew to Liu Lao: "Now the key question is that this pair of bowls is not only exactly the same as the pair in the magazine, but also has a punch at the bottom of one of the bowls, and the position and shape are exactly the same as those in the magazine." ”

"What!"

Liu Lao was taken aback when he heard this, if it was just the same as the colorful bowl in the magazine, then there were other reasons to say, for example, the level of Cai Jianxuan's imitation had improved again, Chu Chen didn't see it for a while, but there was the same punch at the bottom of the bowl, then there must be a problem.

It can't be said that Cai Jianxuan can even imitate the exact same punch, right? Then his imitation technique is already comparable to a miracle skill, and this is obviously impossible.

"Okay, then I'll find out, if there's any new information, I'll contact you again." Liu Lao Yan said solemnly.

"Okay......

Chu Chen hung up the phone and walked back.

Hua Lao said nervously: "Director Chu, what the hell is going on?" ”

Chu Chen said with some regret: "Hua Lao, I'm very sorry, your pair of colorful bowls is very likely to be the collection of the XX Museum." ”

"What?!" Knowing that this was the case, Hua Lao and Yan Lao were all a little dumbfounded.

After a while, Hua Lao came back to his senses and said incredulously: "Curator Chu, do you mean to say that my pair of colorful bowls are likely to be dirty?" ”

Chu Chen nodded: "There is indeed this possibility." ”

"How so!"

Hua Lao seemed a little unacceptable and overwhelmed by this result, and after half a sound, he frowned and asked, "Director Chu, can you tell me how you think that they are the collections of that museum?" Could it just look the same? ”

Chu Chen gave an apologetic look, and then explained the reason.

"This ......" Hua Lao opened his mouth, not knowing what words to use to express his feelings.

At this time, I heard Yan Lao ask a key question: "Director Chu, if it is really a theft, do you want to return this pair of bowls?" ”

"This, it should be returned......" Chu Chen replied with some hesitation, since the thing was stolen, he didn't say anything if he didn't find it. If you find out, you have to return it, and because of this, he feels very sorry for Hua Lao.

Then. Mrs. Hua said: "No, I remember that there should be a word in the law called bona fide acquisition, right?" ”

"What is bona fide acquisition?" Others don't know much about this law. This is the first time I have heard of this word in good faith.

Mrs. Hua shook her head: "I also heard about it when I was chatting with friends, and I don't know much about it." ”

"Then I'll give you a call and ask." Chu Chen took out his mobile phone again and called his friend.

After about ten minutes, Chu Chen put away the phone and explained to everyone the meaning of the goodwill.

Acquisition in good faith, also known as immediate acquisition or immediate statute of limitations, refers to the transfer of ownership of movable property by the possessor of movable property to a third party or the creation of other property rights for a third party. Even if the person in possession of the movable property does not have the right to dispose of the movable property, a bona fide transferee may still acquire ownership or other rights in rem of the movable property.

Chu Chen continued: "However, there is an explanation in law that if the owner loses possession of his property due to theft, loss, etc., regardless of how many times the property has changed hands, everyone has the right to request the last possessor to return it. ”

"This ......" Hua Lao originally felt that his situation should be obtained in good faith, and he was quite happy in his heart, but after listening to Chu Chen's explanation later, he really wanted to cry without tears, but he spent real money to buy the thing. Although the price is a little cheap, it also costs a lot, so if you just hand it over. And what about his losses?

Seeing that Hua Lao and his wife were unacceptable, Chu Chen hurriedly said: "Hua Lao, you don't have to worry, my friend said that if the final possessor is bona fide, a certain amount will also be paid." The owner shall reimburse the person in possession for the loss when retrieving the object. ”

"Because the possessor paid a certain price for the custody of the thing, and the final possessor often took possession of the thing in good faith rather than in bad faith. If the interests of bona fide possessors are not protected, their legitimate interests will be harmed, which will inevitably lead to undesirable consequences. So you're in this situation. You can still get back what you paid. ”

What Chu Chen didn't say was that it would be annoying if Hua Lao solved it himself. But since he found out about it, he still had to do a favor. Otherwise, he was a little reluctant to go.

"That's good, that's good!" The old couple breathed a sigh of relief, for them, as long as the principal is not lost, don't think about any interest or anything like that......

Liu Lao's feedback came quickly, and he told Chu Chen on the phone, saying that he had confirmed it by phone, and Hua Lao's pair of bowls should be the original collection of the museum. Not only that, but the suspected knives and swords and snuff bottles at the museum are also in their warehouse.

"Isn't it, the work of the XX Museum is so sloppy? Don't even know if something has been changed? Elder Yan asked in surprise.

Chu Chen said: "I don't know much about the situation of the sword, but this pair of colorful bowls has been replaced, and now there is a pair on display in the museum, and all places look basically the same, only the punch is wrong, otherwise they will think we are joking!" ”

Hearing that this was the case, Yan Lao smacked his lips and said, "This should be the good thing that the surnamed Cai did, this kind of person is simply bold, and he can even do this kind of thing." ”

Hua Lao shook his head: "I don't think this is called audacious but thoughtful, under normal circumstances, who would know that the one-to-one identical collection on display will be fakes?" If it weren't for Curator Chu, they wouldn't necessarily find out when they fled, right? ”

Chu Chen and Yan Lao both agreed to this, just like Hua Lao said, if it wasn't for today's coincidence, who knew that there would be such a thing? And this also avoids the possibility of the same fake being discovered, and at the same time, because Cai Jianxuan's things in their hands are real, it is easy to deal with them, and they will not be sold at a much price, which is really a few in one fell swoop.

However, since Chu Chen found out about this matter, his side has turned from light to dark, and it is very likely that he will be able to find Cai Jianxuan's lair along the vine, which makes Chu Chen feel excited just thinking about it. (To be continued)
