While Chu Chen was looking through these thread-bound books, Warren walked back with two brocade boxes and placed them next to the books.

After Chu Chen had read all the twelve books, Warren asked politely, "Chu, are these books of mine real?" ”

"It's all genuine." Chu Chen nodded.

Warren listened to Chu Chen's reply, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he asked again, "Then how much are these books worth now?" ”

Chu Chen didn't answer directly, and said, "Mr. Warren, there is something I want to explain first. ”

Hearing this, Warren hurriedly said, "Please speak." ”

Chu Chen said: "If I'm not mistaken, the reason why you invited me over this time is because you want to sell these things, right?" ”

This kind of thing is obvious, and Warren also admitted it very frankly: "Yes, my business has a big problem this time, if I don't replenish the liquidity, it will definitely go out of business within two months, otherwise, I am reluctant to sell these antiques." ”

Chu Chen nodded and said: "Mr. Warren, I also know your difficulties, but in business, you should also understand that the quotation of antiques and other things is just a reference value, and the specific transaction price will definitely not be able to come with this quotation." ”

Warren couldn't help frowning when he heard Chu Chen say this, and then asked, "Chu, what do you mean?" ”

Chu Chen replied: "I mean, the price of the specific transaction is determined by us, for example, the Ming Dynasty imitation official kiln gourd bottle, I can buy it with the previous offer, but the price of things like your gilt wall watch needs to be negotiated." ”

"After all, such a thing is not worth much. It is more common in the market, although I can give a market reference price. But when I sell, the customer may not agree. I don't necessarily have to sell at a loss, or keep it in my hands, right? ”

Warren also understands that what Chu Chen said is the truth, if an antique like that gourd bottle is priceless, then the wall watch is priceless, although the price is high, but no one wants to buy it at that price, it is normal for Chu Chen not to buy at the market reference price, after all, he and Chu Chen do not have a particularly close relationship.

So, Warren agreed: "Chu." You're right, let's negotiate a solution in terms of price! ”

"Well, in that case, what do you think of the price of the thing, which will be calculated in the end?" Chu Chen asked.

Warren felt that Chu Chen's mention would not harm his interests, so he agreed.

The two things that Warren brought over were both blue and white porcelain, one of which was a blue and white porcelain pen holder from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. Its shape is delicate and delicate, and the system is regular. Cylindrical, jade bottom. The blue and white on the outer wall depicts one of the ten views of Tongjing West Lake, and the autumn moon scenery of Pinghu Lake.

There are pavilions, lakes, ancient pines, and grass pavilions in the picture. There is a Coats visiting friends with the piano in the Creek Pavilion. In the painting boat on the lake, Coats raised a glass to admire the moon. The brushstrokes are delicate, and the figures and landscape arrangements are high and pleasant. The blank space is inscribed with a seven-character quatrain. and have signatures and seals. It is a masterpiece of blue and white pen holder about the landscape of West Lake.

It's a pity that although the pen holder is good, it is a folk kiln work. Whether it is the production process and market value, it cannot be compared with the official kiln. The market value is not high, and it is estimated that 25,000 RMB will not arrive.

The other is a small blue and white jar. This jar straight mouth, round shoulders, plump bottom, circle foot, the bottom of the book blue and white paragraph of the "Ming Dynasty Chenghua Year" six-character double-line regular book, with a round center of the pen, Tibetan Feng written, large characters in italics, the strokes are strong and straight, it looks very much like the Chenghua blue and white style to recognize the real handiwork.

Chenghua blue and white ware is mostly exquisite, light and small, and there are very few vertical pieces, and the Doucai Tianzi jar and the blue and white Jiuqiu jar are the classic famous products of Chenghua official kiln porcelain.

This lot is the same as the Ming Chenghua Nine Autumn Jar in the collection of the Palace Museum on Treasure Island, the body of the jar is full of shoulders and abdomen, the lines are relaxed, the outer wall is decorated with nine autumn patterns, and the undulating slope is set off near the foot, and two butterflies are flying in the air, adding a lot of vitality to the picture, presenting a landscape full of autumn in the "Nine Autumn Flowers and Butterflies".

Among them, the branches and leaves are soft, the shape is handsome, and there is a quiet and unrestrained hidden in the meantime. The blue and white hair color is pure and elegant, the blue is gray, the color is very stable and calm, quite a water black painting style, and the white and warm tire glaze and slender ornamentation are contrasted, which is extraordinarily refined. It seems that it should be the famous Equality Youth.

To say, this jar should be genuine in terms of tire, glaze, blue and white hair color, painting and style, but no matter how Chu Chen looks at it, he feels that there is something wrong with this blue and white jar. And for him, this feeling is obviously not a good sign.

Originally, Chu Chen was ready to use the ability, but he thought that relying on the ability would not improve his level much, so he carefully observed the blue and white jar, but still didn't find anything wrong.

"Am I really feeling wrong?"

Chu Chen muttered to himself, and just as he was about to use the ability, he suddenly thought of a way to judge whether it was genuine, so he hurriedly looked at the jar against the light, and at this look, he really found the cat in it.

Generally speaking, Chenghua blue and white porcelain glaze white and fat, enamel unique, moist like clotted fat, translucent, if the light is visible, faintly visible carcass with a faint flesh red, this glaze is an important feature of Chenghua blue and white porcelain. But there is no such phenomenon in the jar in front of him, and it can be seen that this Chenghua blue and white jar should be a fake.

confirmed the judgment in his heart, but Chu Chen was even more surprised, because the maker of this blue and white jar was really powerful, except for that place, it was able to imitate it so realistically. Imitation of ancient porcelain such a superb person, to be honest, except for Zhang Huoclay, he really has never encountered it.

"Wait! This can't be an imitation of Zhang Huoclay, right? ”

When Chu Chen was secretly surprised, he suddenly thought of something, which was also related to the "Nine Autumns" on the jar.

The ancients called it "Nine Autumn" because of the total of 90 days in autumn, so they collected nine kinds of autumn grass in one picture, and its nine kinds of flowers were: budding begonia, elegant purple jasmine, quiet thyme, gorgeous periwinkle, blooming chrysanthemum, elegant purple snowflake, fragrant osmanthus, yellow hollyhock and gentian.

These nine kinds of flowers compete to bloom on the same vessel, colorful and colorful, and it is breathtakingly beautiful. It means that the nine autumns are celebrated together and the harvest is celebrated. Hence the name "Nine Autumn Pictures" or "Nine Autumn Celebrations".

Among the ancient poems, there are many references to Jiuqiu, and now Chu Chen thinks of "Planting Chrysanthemums" made by Shi Zhu in the Song Dynasty: planting chrysanthemums in early spring to help plate vegetables, benefiting qi and lightening the body and carrying old pictures. In the end, he used Jiuqiu to help the right color, and he stole drunk work.

The reason why Chu Chen thought of this poem was also a coincidence, he got a piece of paper left by fire clay from the box some time ago, because he was worried about what details were hidden in it, he put those pieces of paper by his side, and as long as he was free, he took them out like a riddle to find the clues.

However, it was too difficult to find any useful clues from the dense small print, and he did not find a single useful information for so many days. Until yesterday, when Wu Ke replied, he changed another method, so he combined a sentence in "Planting Chrysanthemums" "Finally use Jiuqiu to help the right color".

Chu Chen hadn't read this ancient poem before, and at first he just felt that this sentence had some charm, and he didn't think about it in the direction of the poem at all, until after discussing with Vincent, when he was sitting in the café and was bored and thinking nonsense, he realized that that sentence would not fly a certain sentence in an ancient poem.

So, after returning to Randy's house, Chu Chen used the computer to look up on the Internet, and really found that it was a sentence from "Planting Chrysanthemums". This made him a little excited, but at the same time, he couldn't understand what Zhang Huoni wanted to express with this sentence or this poem, because there were too many meanings to derive.

It wasn't until now that he saw this imitation of such a realistic Chenghua blue and white jar that Chu Chen felt that maybe that verse was referring to this Qinggong jar.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen hurriedly searched carefully inside and out of this blue and white jar, because if it was Zhang Huoclay's work, he should have left his unique mark, but after looking around, he was stunned and didn't find it, which made him feel a little surprised.

Chu Chen frowned and thought secretly, "Could it be that I am thinking wrong?" ”

Warren next to him saw Chu Chen constantly looking at his blue and white porcelain, and meditating from time to time, which couldn't help but make him nervous.

You must know that among the many antiques he bought, except for the few items that Chu Chen had appraised the day before yesterday, only the few items in front of him were genuine items that had been appraised by experts. He has now put his hope for the revitalization of his business on these few antiques, and he really doesn't want any accidents to happen to this Chenghua blue and white jar in front of him.

So, Warren, who looked nervous, hurriedly asked, "Chu, is there anything wrong with this blue and white jar?" ”

"I'm not sure yet, I'll wait until I'll see!"

Chu Chen shook his head, the reason why he said this was also because he thought that if the thing was not made of fire clay, then he would definitely not be able to spend a lot of money to buy a fake and go back. And if the thing is made of fire clay, it means that there is probably some clue hidden in it, then he will definitely buy it back anyway.

Next, Chu Chen searched inside and out again, but the result was still the same as just now, which made him really wonder, but in order to avoid mistakes, he still used the ability immediately.

The result of the ability made Chu Chen very speechless, because there was indeed a specially made mezzanine at the bottom of the jar, and there was a very small key in the mezzanine, and I didn't know where this key was used...... (To be continued......)
