Zhao Qirui saw Duan Xuefeng's happy appearance, and said with a smile: "If this bronze is auctioned, it will be good enough to shoot for two hundred, do you say you have made any money?" Xuefeng, you also took shit luck, you don't even know the name of this thing, you can actually buy it and make money, and I don't know where you got this thing. ”

"This ...... Brother Zhao, when I first bought it, I promised the person not to disclose the seller's name, so ......" Duan Xuefeng said with some hesitation and embarrassment.

Zhao Qirui saw his appearance, pointed at him and smiled: "You, the seller doesn't want to show up when selling antiques, this is very common in the antique industry, what's so embarrassing." ”

Duan Xuefeng smiled and said, "It's not that I don't understand." ”

At this time, Chu Chen said with some hesitation: "This ...... Brother Duan, I don't know if there is a sentence that should be said or not! ”

Seeing this, Duan Xuefeng hurriedly said, "Xiao Chu, is there anything wrong with this thing, just say it." ”

"This bronze gui, if I'm not mistaken, should be a freshly made cooked pit."

"Ahh No way! How could it be a freshly made cooked pit! Hearing this, Zhao Qirui said in surprise, and then immediately took a closer look at the bronze gui.

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Duan Xuefeng said with some doubts.

Chu Chen explained to him: "We know that the bronze ware is buried in the ground, and over time, the surface will be rusted naturally and layer by layer due to the qualitative changes caused by various chemical reactions, forming a rust color of green, red, blue, or purple on the surface of the vessel. This rust color is solid and has a natural sense of changeability. ”

Of course, although there are several years of unearthed, the artifacts are still in the state of the newly unearthed, and the surface has not been polluted by dust, oil, etc., and has not done any artificial treatment of the bronzes, also called "shengkeng". ”

And "ripe pit" refers to the bronze that has been handed down or unearthed for a long time, because it is often appreciated, the raised part of the surface of the bronze is rubbed by the hand to show a bright and ripe state, this is called "ripe pit". ”

In addition, in order to make the bronzes more beautiful and prevent the corroded objects from regenerating rust and deterioration, some collectors washed the "shengkeng" bronzes, removed the patina with reasonable chemical methods, and coated them with wax to make the surface bright and dazzling, and the bottom layer could still maintain a rich color. This is also called a "cooked pit". ”

"Most of the heirlooms we see in museums now are generally treated in this way, which is both beautiful and worry-free. Because some people don't know how the "raw pit" will be so beautiful after being processed into a "cooked pit", when they visit the museum, they will think that these are imitations. ”

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Duan Xuefeng suddenly said: "I used to think that those things in the museum were imitations, but today after listening to Xiao Chu's words, it can be regarded as an eye-opener, but since my thing is a familiar pit and not a fake, there should be no problem, right?" ”

After Zhao Qirui re-observed the bronze skull, he said: "The problem is that there is no problem, but have you ever thought that weishenme he wants to make things into mature pits?" What is before the ripening pit? ”

"What else can it be before the pit, raw pit? Wait, you're saying he deliberately made something heirloom, that is, he dug it up? Did I meet Tufuzi? Speaking of zuihou, Duan Xuefeng couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face.

Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "This can't be said that you have met Tufuzi one hundred percent, but this thing should not be a mature pit for a long time, plus he asked you not to tell others about the seller, the motive is very doubtful, so it is very likely to be Tufuzi." ”

"Xiao Chu, how can you tell that this thing hasn't been a mature pit for a long time?" Duan Xuefeng asked.

Zhao Qirui smiled and said: "I don't need Xiao Chu to say this, I can also see it, this bronze squirt, in order to imitate the naturally formed cooked pit as much as possible, so the taste of the chemical potion has been treated a little, but maybe because of the rush of time, this aspect is not thorough enough, although most places have no taste, but some places are light or strong, you can smell a little, Xuefeng, you can come and smell it." ”

After Duan Xuefeng stepped forward and sniffed the places Zhao Qirui pointed out, he nodded and said, "Well, there is such a phenomenon, but this can't prove that it was done recently, right?" ”

"If this was done a long time ago, then why didn't he take care of these details better?"

Zhao Qirui asked rhetorically, then pointed to a place next to the ears of the four beasts, and said: "I won't talk about it at all, the key is that he didn't clean up the rust spots here in a hurry, according to my experience, this bronze is not unearthed for a long time, and the time to make the mature workshop is self-evident, Xiao Chu, am I right?" ”

Chu Chen nodded and said: "Hehe, Brother Zhao, you are right, the most important thing is the rust spot, it is not like it has been unearthed for too long, otherwise with the current climate, it will definitely change a little, and it will not be like now, and it will still be the same as when it was unearthed." ”

"This ......"

At this time, Duan Xuefeng also knew that this thing was something that had just been unearthed, he scratched his head, his face was a little distressed, he was not afraid of meeting Tufuzi, it was really a bit valuable for this thing, in case of an incident, although he could stay with it, but he always had to pay some favors, it was really not cost-effective.

But now that the things have been bought by themselves, it is definitely impossible to return them, and what will happen in the future can only be borne by themselves. Thinking of this, Duan Xuefeng couldn't help but sigh and said:

"Yu Guangjie's kid, this is a hot potato for me!"

When Zhao Qirui heard this, he was stunned, and after glancing at Chu Chen, he asked, "Xuefeng, this bronze is sold to you by Yu Guangjie?" ”

Duan Xuefeng shook his head and said, "He didn't sell it to me, he introduced someone to me." A month ago, he came to buy a car, and I heard that he was going to open an auction company, and I happened to want to buy an antique as a gift, so I asked him, and then he introduced me to the person who sold me this thing. Brother Zhao, is there something wrong with Yu Guangjie? ”

Zhao Qirui thought for a while and said, "I can't say anything about this, it's just a guess between me and Xiao Chu." ”

Duan Xuefeng hurriedly said: "Brother Zhao, just talk about it, don't you say how we know, in case Yu Guangjie really has a problem, I should pay attention when I contact him." ”

"Alright then......"

Zhao Qirui thought that what Duan Xuefeng said made sense, so he briefly explained the doubts found in the previous black market.

"Although Xiao Chu and I have not seen any connection between Yu Guangjie and that group of Tufuzi, several things are too coincidental, so he can't get rid of suspicion, plus what happened to you this time, I think he has a problem even more."

After listening to what Zhao Qirui said, Duan Xuefeng also nodded and said: "Brother Zhao, listening to what you said, I think Yu Guangjie, this kid, has a problem with Bacheng, if he really has a connection with Tufuzi, something will happen sooner or later if he does this, if it is not good, he is another cheater." ”

This sentence caused everyone to chuckle.

At this time, Chu Yulan said: "Uncle, let me just say that Yu Guangjie is not a good person, right?" My mother also said that Yu Guangjie is good, fortunately, uncle, you helped me push the family affairs, otherwise, I don't know what the situation is now. ”

Zhao Qirui smiled and said: "This is called knowing people and knowing faces, but not knowing the heart, Yu Guangjie was honest in front of my sister, and with Zhou Zhen on the side, she certainly thinks Yu Guangjie is not bad." ”

Hearing this, Chu Chen said a little abruptly: "Brother Zhao, why did I say that Yu Guangjie is hostile to you, it turns out that this is the case!" ”

"Uncle, I'm really sorry for causing you to suffer unjustly."

Zhao Qirui waved his hand and said: "I am your uncle, what is there to be sorry for, on the contrary, from this matter, it can also be seen that Yu Guangjie's character is not good, and my original decision was correct." ”

Chu Yulan said a little angrily when she heard this: "Hmph, anyway, I don't have a good impression of the people in their family, and the surname Zhou is not a good person. When I refused, the front of the person was still the same as before, and the queen was lukewarm to me, putting on a face for me, and sometimes saying some unpleasant things, which was really annoying, and I don't know how my mother could stand her. ”

Zhao Qirui shook his head and said helplessly: "Zhou Zhen is like this, her heart is all utilitarian, only those who are useful to her, she will give a good face." But she did a good job on the surface, even if she did something out of the ordinary, my sister was soft-hearted and forgot about it after a few days. Xiaolan, if you have time, persuade my sister to let her have less contact with women like Zhou Zhen. ”

In this regard, Chu Yulan can't help it, her mother is such a good temper, rarely angry, very kind to people, and even more caring and considerate to her relatives, and it is precisely because of this that after she was adopted from the orphanage, she will integrate into the current family so quickly.

Thinking of this, Chu Yulan decided that she couldn't be so selfish anymore, and she must quickly solve Brother Chu's matter as soon as possible.

However, she found from the previous conversation with Chu Chen that Chu Chen had a deep misunderstanding of the original incident, and she could only clearly see the complex emotions in Chu Chen's eyes when he talked about it. So she thought it might not be a good idea to tell her parents about it directly.

At that time, if Brother Chu is really the son of his parents who were separated back then, and the two sides come into contact, if Brother Chu has a conflict with his parents because of a misunderstanding, although his parents will be happy because they have found their son, such a result will also make their parents feel more uncomfortable, and this kind of situation is not what they want.

I should start with Brother Chu first, and try to explain the misunderstanding as clearly as possible.
