Chu Chen didn't expect that his uncle would give him Liu Gongquan's works, you must know that Liu Gongquan's works are generally more tablet stickers, and his pen and ink works are very rare.

Moreover, Liu Gongquan's calligraphy was already famous in the Tang Dynasty, and at that time, there was a saying that "a word of willow is worth a thousand gold". His calligraphy works have survived to the present day, and their value is not at all measured by money.

It can be said that this work is really precious, if it weren't for Chu Chen's knowledge of Uncle Dao's temper, he would have wanted to return this work to the other party.

Chu Chen shook his head, didn't think about it anymore, and then took out a magnifying glass to observe the work carefully.

Liu Gongquan's calligraphy is strong, and the words are rigorous and meticulous. In terms of the characteristics of the characters, he is known for his thinness, and the regular script he writes is vigorous and charming, and his bones are strong, and he is the most exquisite in the line and regular script, which is also the unique feature of his works.

The regular script in front of you can be described as "the book is expensive, thin and hard", and compared with the face, it is slightly even thin and hard. The words are evenly balanced and thin, chasing Wei Monument and cutting the iron momentum, the dot painting is crisp and beautiful, the bone strength is strong, and the structure is rigorous, which is in response to the saying "Yan muscles and willow bones".

The calligraphy in front of you, the penmanship is vigorous, stable but not vulgar, dangerous but not strange, old but not dry, moist but not fat, and the demeanor is harmonious, and it is charming. The strokes are evenly stiff and thin, the edges and corners are exposed, and they are rich in variety, avoiding the repetition of single hanging. Coupled with the unique characteristics of horizontal and vertical paintings, Chu Chen can be sure that this work should be the handwriting of Liu Gongquan's regular script.

In addition, the paper of the work, the promotion and seal of the author, and the promotion and seal of later famous artists. The authenticity of these two works goes without saying.

After verifying the authenticity of the work. Chu Chen felt very surprised in his heart, how could such a work be picked up? Didn't the original owner know anything about this?

"Introverted and extended, the middle palace is tightened, the limbs are expanded, and the sparse and open style is seen in the rigorous. Good words, good words! Chu Yongning also has a hobby of calligraphy, so when he saw this work, his eyes immediately glowed with excitement, and after tasting it carefully, he couldn't help but admire.

Father's words brought Chu Chen back to his senses, and then he smiled: "Dad." Since you like it so much, then let this work go for you! ”

"Let me do this?" Chu Yongning was a little moved in his heart, and then sighed and said: "Forget it, I'm busy with work now, and I don't usually have much time to appreciate this work, so let's wait until I retire!" ”

Hearing his father say this, Chu Chen could only sigh lightly in his heart, according to the current trend, his father's official will definitely become bigger and bigger. Not only will he have much less time for himself, but for safety reasons, he will definitely not be able to live here anymore.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen was a little reluctant in his heart. But this is also something that cannot be helped, and he can only visit it often.

Chu Chen cheered up and hurriedly said, "It's good." When you want to see it, just go to the vault and pick it up. ”

Speaking of which. He suddenly thought of something and patted his head. He smiled and said: "Dad, in my vault, there are still calligraphy works of Yan Zhenqing and Mi Fu!" ”

"What!" Chu Yongning was slightly stunned, and then said with a look of surprise: "You kid, why didn't you tell me earlier!" ”

"Didn't I think of this before!" Chu Chen scratched his head and said with a smile.

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go see it now!" Chu Yongning couldn't wait to say.

Zhao Yunlin glanced at him and said, "What's the hurry, it's late today, you can't look at it tomorrow, and you won't lose it!" ”

Chu Yongning looked at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock, and he could only say with some regret: "Then let's talk about it tomorrow!" ”

"Alright! Let's go and rest, and enjoy the things tomorrow! Zhao Yunlin spoke.

Everyone had no opinion on this, and Chu Chen began to put away his works.

"Brother, is this ancient son of heaven the seal of Emperor Qianlong?" Chu Yulan asked, pointing to a seal.

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, this ancient rare son of heaven is the imperial seal inscription of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty." Inscriptions are commonly found in the deceased. On the paintings and calligraphy works in the palace collection. ”

Josie was surprised and said, "Ah! So how did this thing get out there? Could it be that the foreign coalition was stolen back then? ”

Chu Chen thought for a while, and then said: "Yes, it is possible, but it is unlikely that my uncle will pick up leaks abroad, I think it is likely that it will not be circulated, but after the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, the last emperor smuggled it out!" ”

After the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, the last emperor stole a large number of national treasures before and after he was expelled from the Forbidden City. Among them, there are more than 1,200 famous calligraphy paintings alone, which is the largest national treasure scattered in the history of our country, and the whole world is shocked. After the last emperor and his group fled to the eastern part of the northern province, they sold a lot of the national treasures they carried due to the existential crisis.

What is sad is that on the way to escape, he and his courtiers exchanged these priceless calligraphy and paintings, antiques and local farmers for steamed buns because they had nothing to eat, which caused a large number of treasures to be lost to the people. Maybe this work was sold at that time.

"I see!" Everyone suddenly said.

Chu Chen spread his hands and said, "Of course, this is just my guess, as for what is going on, I have to ask my uncle where he bought it." ”

"I'll call my uncle and ask!" After speaking, Chu Yulan ran out of the city and started to make a call.

"This kid, don't look at what time it is!" Zhao Yunlin said angrily, but she knew that Zhao Qirui didn't sleep until twelve o'clock every day, so she didn't say anything to stop her.

Chu Chen carefully put away the work, and then the group walked out.

At this time, Chu Yulan also happened to ask about the cause and effect, so she chattered about it.

It turned out that some time ago, Zhao Qirui received a call from a friend in the eastern part of Northern Province, saying that he was a distant relative of his family and had some paintings and calligraphy to sell, including not only Zheng Banqiao's works, but also Tang Yin's ink treasures. When Zhao Qirui heard the news, it happened that he also had something to go to Northern Province, so he took the palm eye master to go there by plane the next day.

When Zhao Qirui arrived, he was arranged by a friend in a small hotel in the area of his relative, and two hours later, the friend rushed in with a distant relative, who also brought an old wooden box with a seal from the turbulent era and seven scroll paintings.

Zhao Qirui glanced at the palm master as soon as he saw this situation, it is really too many games like this in the antique industry, which makes people have to guard against it.

But when they got here, it was unlikely that Zhao Qirui didn't even look at it, so he left directly, so everyone opened the box and looked at it.

The box is full of famous works, including Zheng Banqiao, Lang Shining, Tang Yin and others, and of course, Liu Gongquan's work.

Although they are all masterpieces, the authenticity is really a little flattering, except for Liu Gongquan's work, the others are all wiped out.

But it was this Liu Gongquan's work that made Zhao Qirui and the palm-eyed master almost jump out in shock at that time, but fortunately, both of them had rich life experiences, and the most vivid suppressed the excitement in their hearts.

accidentally discovered Liu Gongquan's work, even if he knew that there was a pit in front of him, Zhao Qirui had to jump, so next, he knew that the six paintings were fakes, and finally collected the things at a price of 800,000 yuan.

Subsequently, it was the turn of the most critical work of Liu Gongquan, and the seller offered 900,000 yuan, which made Zhao Qirui breathe a sigh of relief, and he knew that the other party should be selling the real one as a fake. So next, the two sides went back and forth, and after a while, the transaction was made at a price of 400,000 yuan.

After listening to the cause and effect, Chu Chen smiled and said: "In this way, this painting was smuggled out of the Republic of China." ”

Everyone nodded and agreed, and then Chu Yulan said with envy: "Uncle's luck is so good, he actually picked up such a big leak!" ”

Chu Chen smiled and said: "Uncle's luck is indeed good, but this situation is obviously a game, if you encounter this situation in normal times, it is better to stay away, the kind of situation that uncle encounters is still very rare." ”

At a price of 400,000 yuan, buy a collection of hundreds of millions of yuan, not many people who know the Tao will not be blushing, but the "water" of the collection industry is very deep, not to mention that ordinary people are easy to wander, even if the connoisseur is deceived is not new, encounter "landmines" or scams do not have any luck psychology, otherwise it is often themselves who are injured.

And in normal times, we can't hold the mentality of picking up leaks, blindly collecting and investing in antiques, in the words of the stock market, antiques are risky, and we must be cautious when entering the market. And antiques, often thousands, or even tens of millions are not uncommon, if you really hit the eye and enter the game, the money is like a water, and you can't even hear the sound of water.

"Xiaolan, remember to listen to your brother's words, if you want to buy antiques, you must not be blind, and you must not listen to other people's stories, otherwise you will be the one who will be deceived!" Zhao Yunlin saw Chu Yulan's yearning look on her face and said solemnly.

Chu Yulan stuck out her tongue, listening to Zhao Qirui's experience of picking up leaks, coupled with Chu Chen's leaks from time to time, she was indeed very excited in her heart, thinking that she would also pick up a big leak one day, and everyone would be impressed.

However, she was not hot-headed, although she kept thinking about it in her heart, she did not put it into action, which was also because she felt sorry for her money.

"Zhilu said, if I buy antiques in the future, I will definitely let my brother accompany me!" (To be continued......)
