Chu Chen continued: "Presumably the old man should know that when Huiqing is used in conjunction with Shiziqing, if the proportion of Huiqing material is slightly higher, the blue and white will be bright red and purple, and if Shiziqing is used too much, the color will be gray and blue. But if you look at the blue and white findings, the color is colorful, but why is it still gray? ”

"Not to mention the gray tones, there is actually a faint halo effect! If I'm not mistaken, the faint is the Zhejiang material used by Wanli blue and white later, and the tone is also quite calm, and now it appears here, isn't it also nondescript? ”

"This ......" Faced with the two points pointed out by Chu Chen, the old talent didn't know what to say.

At this time, Duan Ning scolded angrily: "Old man, you are such a bastard, I told you just now not to perfunctory me, look at what you have done!" ”

The old man said with a bitter face: "I really don't know about this!" Otherwise, I wouldn't have kept it as a collection. ”

"It's strange to believe you! All right! What should you do, what are you going to do! Duan Ning angrily directly ordered the eviction of customers.

It's like when the wolf comes and says too much, others will definitely not believe it anymore, Lao Cai's character, no matter how much he swears, it is difficult to believe others.

At this time, the old man also tasted the evil fruits he had planted before, and hurriedly said: "Don't, don't! I really don't know about this, or else, I still have one more thing, if you like it, and then give a nine-percent discount on the transaction price, do you think it's okay? ”

Duan Ning looked at everyone, Chu Chen and they had no opinion on this, so he said, "Okay, I'll give you another chance, but if you take another fake." Then you're welcome. ”

The old man swore and said: "If this thing is still a fake, then you can dispose of it." ”

Just when the old man took things out. Duan Kun approached Chu Chen and asked, "Brother Chen." So what's going on with this fire paint mark? ”

At this time, although he knew that this bowl was indeed a fake, he still felt a little incredible, didn't it mean that everything with fire paint was a good thing? How can it be a fake?

Chu Chen said with a smile: "What's wrong with the fire paint seal?" This thing is used to judge whether it is a cultural relic that is prohibited from leaving the country, if you don't believe it, when you bring a fake that is not very important to go abroad, and when you return to China, send it to customs clearance, and ensure that it can also be stamped with a fire paint seal! ”

Duan Kun suddenly said: "So that's the case!" If it's so easy, isn't it possible that a lot of reflux could be fakes? ”

Chu Chen said: "This matter is not absolute. At least quite a few of them......"

The contents of Lao Cai's other box are cups, and the shape of the cup looks like a knife target from a distance, with a tongue-like body on the upper part and a spherical body on the lower part. At first glance, it seems to be carved by rhino horn, the size of the cup is relatively small, it is estimated that it is only about five centimeters, and the appearance of the cup is only carved with a seven-word quatrain "Spirit Rhino Horn...... Zigu".

"Who is this Zigu?" Duan Kun asked curiously.

Lao Cai said with a smile: "This person is the character of Zhao Mengjian, a painter in the Southern Song Dynasty, and he is very good at writing with one hand." I've checked it, and it's indeed his handwriting engraved on it. ”

Zhao Mengjian, Song Zong, the eleventh grandson of Taizu. The word is solid. No. Yi Zhai Jushi, Li Zong Baoqing two years in the middle of the scholar, the official to the Chaosan doctor Yan Zhoushou. This man's writings were indeed influential at the time. However, compared with Xingshu, he is famous in the painting world. Undoubtedly better.

He is good at painting narcissus, plum, orchid, bamboo and stone in ink and white. Among them, Mo Lan and Bai depict narcissus are the most refined, giving people "clear and extraordinary." beautiful and elegant". And rich collections, can poetry. His works include "White Drawing Narcissus Picture Scroll", "Three Friends of the Cold Year", "Melan Picture Scroll" and so on.

Chu Chen asked the others to look at it first, and only then did he take the cup in his hand.

According to the careful comparison of memory, the poems on this cup should indeed be the authentic handwriting of Zhao Mengjian, and from the perspective of pulp and process characteristics, this cup should indeed be a product of the Southern Song Dynasty.

It's just that what makes Chu Chen feel strange is that although the material used in this cup looks like rhino horn, it is plausible, and it feels more like jade, and in terms of color, it does look like a lighter jasper in some places.

In addition, the surface of the cup also has skin-like lines, which are not the same as rhino horns. Judging from these characteristics, although the material of this cup is, it is different from some of the horns in Chu Chen's memory, which makes him really confused.

Just as Chu Chen was meditating there, Duan Kun felt that this cup was small and exquisite, and he really should like it, so he wanted to ask about the price: "Old man, how much does your cup cost?" ”

"Eight hundred thousand!" The old man smiled and stretched out three fingers.

"Poof! Ahem! ”

Hearing the price offered by Lao Cai, Duan Ning squirted out all the tea he had just drunk in his mouth, patted his chest vigorously, and then gasped for breath and said angrily: "800,000, you rob the money!" ”

Lao Cai said innocently: "Why did I rob the money, this is Zhao Mengjian's real work, and it is a rhino horn carving, and it will be a nine-percent discount for a while, but it is only 720,000, this price is very reasonable, okay!" ”

Duan Ning said angrily: "I admit that this is Zhao Mengjian's handwriting, but you are just a seven-character quatrain, and besides, is this a rhino horn?" Does the rhino horn look like this, I think it's a cow's horn! ”

The old man shook his head: "What you said, do you have such horns?" And this poem clearly refers to rhino horns! ”

"Who knows if Zhao Mengjian wrote it, is it this cup?" Duan Ning pursed his lips.

The old man spread his hands and said: "If you want to say that, then it's not interesting, anyway, this cup is at this price, and I don't want to sell it if it's less." ”

"Can't it be cheaper? I bought it for 300,000. Duan Kun said.

"Three hundred thousand! How can it be? The old man directly refused: "Let me tell you, I bought this cup with a huge amount of money, and it will be cheaper by 20,000 yuan at most, with a total price of 700,000 yuan, if you want it, we will close it immediately." ”

Duan Kun shook his head: "The material of your cup is too strange, although it looks, but it definitely doesn't have the horn of a rhinoceros like this, God knows what kind of horn it is, 700,000 is too expensive, I will pay 400,000 at most!" ”

"The price difference between us is too great, since that's the case, then forget it!" The old man said as he put the cup back in the box.

Seeing this, Duan Kun was unmoved, it was already his limit to be able to give 400,000, and he couldn't take out any more, and Liu Sizhe and Duan Ning also felt that it was too expensive.

At this time, Chu Chen raised his head and said, "Six hundred thousand, how about it?" ”

Lao Cai is indeed short of money now, and he pondered for a while when he heard this, and then said: "In this way, just the price I just said, if it is less than 20,000 or 680,000, I will definitely not sell it if it is less." ”

Chu Chen thought for a while before nodding and saying, "Deal!" Do you accept checks? ”

"Close!"

The old man was happy, although he was a little reluctant, but after selling this thing, the debt he owed some time ago was also settled.

Next, the two sides immediately signed an agreement, and Lao Cai took the check that had just arrived, and sighed: "Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!" ”

Hearing him say this, Duan Ning asked with some curiosity: "Old man, what happened to you some time ago, can you tell me about it?" ”

"What can't be said about this, it's not that I've been tricked!"

The old man said a little bitterly: "Before, I thought that with my IQ, no one should be able to fool me, but I didn't expect that I was sitting in a well and watching the sky, compared to some people, I was nothing at all." Xiao Duan, do you know whose hands I planted this time? ”

Duan Ning shook his head.

"All the mountains!" The old man said the man's name.

"What? How could it be him? Hearing the other party's name, Duan Ning was dumbfounded, with a hellish expression.

The old man smiled: "What's the matter, you didn't expect it!" ”

"I really didn't expect it!"

Duan Ning let out a long breath, and when he saw Chu Chen and the others looking puzzled, he explained: "This Quanshan is a Tibetan friend who collects seals, he looks like he is in his forties, his eyesight is quite high, and he is also very kind, I met him when I was setting up a stall in Du Fu's thatched cottage before, and later sent Xianqiao to open, and he is also a frequent visitor here." ”

Duan Kun said in surprise: "No, if that's the case, then hasn't he been here for several years?" ”

Lao Cai smiled bitterly: "But isn't it, I remember my first contact, and it has been five or six years since I was cheated out of money by him......"

Although the old man has a bad character, he is a good person, and as long as he does not involve business, he is usually more atmospheric, so he has more friends. At a gathering of friends five or six years ago, he met Quanshan, and the two exchanged quite speculatively, and they became friends after coming and going, and later Quanshan often went to the old antique shop to drink tea and chat.

Quanshan mainly plays with seals, whether it is bronze or jade, he is very proficient, but the old man does not know too much about seals and the like, so sometimes someone in the store comes to sell seals, and the whole mountain helps him, and because the whole mountain has good eyesight, he has not made a mistake once, and he has made a lot of money in the old man.

Since Lao Cai likes to deceive people, of course it is impossible to believe Quan Shan so easily, even if Quan Shan helps him make money, it is the same, but it has been the same for a few years, and Lao Cai's heart defense has opened a crack no matter how strict it is.

In addition, in the past few years, the money that Jin Shan has earned for him is not one million but seven or eight hundred thousand, how can the old man still doubt him? As a result, the relationship between the two has become closer and closer. And Jin Shan's eyesight is really powerful, so as long as he encounters a problem with the seal, the old man will call Jin Shan to help him.

In this way, on the third day of January, someone came over with something, and the seller also had some impressions, this person specialized in some secret things, selling some shady things...... (To be continued......)
