Seeing this situation, Qi Baolin was also speechless, so he took out a small notebook from his pocket, handed it to Chu Chen, and said, "Chu Shao, you should sign it on this!" ”

Qi Baofu also knew that his behavior was a little naïve, and of course it was impossible to object to this. On the other side, Chu Chen also happily signed his name in the notebook.

"Thank you, Teacher Chu, let's go in!" Qi Baofu looked at the signature on the notebook with great joy, and then carefully put it away, and hurriedly made a request to everyone with a smile on his face.

The group followed Qi Baofu to a private room, but unexpectedly, a middle-aged man who was nearly fifty years old was already sitting inside.

This made Qi Baolin very speechless, originally today's meal, mainly for the original matter, to apologize to Chu Chen, this kind of dinner, of course, the fewer people the better, now there is an extra cousin, although it is a little inconvenient, but in the end, it is also his own family, I didn't expect that there is now an unfamiliar outsider, what is this?

"I know that this guy is famous and unreliable at home, and I actually agreed just now, I really deserve it!"

Qi Baolin scolded himself secretly, now in this situation, it is inconvenient to go to other places, and he can only hope that he can make Chu Chen happy for a while.

In fact, it was not only Qi Baolin who felt awkward, but the person who sat in the private room first was also surprised by Chu Chen's coming. However, when he learned that the young man in front of him was Chu Chen, who had been a guest of "Collecting the World", his face also showed surprise, and he also expressed a warm welcome to Chu Chen's arrival.

Although Qi Baofu is a little unreliable, his eye for identifying antiques is not very good. However, he is more enthusiastic, and he likes to make friends, and there are many Tibetan friends in the capital and surrounding areas. And he has several friends, and they are also experts that Chu Chen is familiar with.

Through Qi Baofu's introduction, Chu Chen learned that the middle-aged man in front of him was also Qi Baofu's Tibetan friend in Wucheng, named Cao Jingde, and the blue and white jar that Qi Baofu bought before was identified as a fake by him.

Cao Jingde and Qi Baofu are both people who love antiques. Now that I finally met Chu Chen, of course, the topic is not far from antiques, but fortunately, these case-handling personnel, including Qi Baolin. Because of work, I have also made up for some antique knowledge, and when talking about antique topics, I can also interject a few words. The atmosphere at the banquet was quite warm.

Three rounds of drinking. Qi Baofu looked at Cao Jingde, and then said to Chu Chen with a smile: "Teacher Chu, I finally met you today, I have a piece of porcelain, I don't know if I can ask you a question or two?" ”

"Don't dare to ask for advice, let's learn together!" Chu Chen said modestly.

"Teacher Chu, you are too polite......"

Qi Baofu smiled, and then took the bag from the cabinet in the corner. Took out a small brocade box. He put the brocade box in front of Chu Chen's eyes and opened it to take a look. There is a large water chestnut bottle inside.

"Mr. Chu, this is a bottle that I went to the antique shop to see before, and I thought the price was not expensive, so I bought it, please help me review it."

Chu Chen didn't look at the things first, but looked at Cao Jingde first, and the other party smiled and said: "Just now I just helped Lao Qi look at the blue and white jar he just bought, but he just hugged the things and left, I haven't seen this bottle yet." Teacher Chu, you should take a good look at it first. ”

Chu Chen nodded happily, and then took the water chestnut bottle in his hand and observed.

Water chestnut bottle is a popular bottle type in the Qing Dynasty, which is named after the shape of water chestnut. This bottle is nearly centimeters high, dignified and heavy, the whole body is decorated with pastel, the mouth edge and the shin are respectively decorated with ruyi cloud pattern and deformed lotus petal pattern for a week, from the neck down to the abdomen full of painted cloud bat pattern, red bats fly between the five colors of auspicious clouds, the shape is different, the composition is dense, implying the blessing of the sky.

In addition, the bottom of the bottle is glazed with white glaze, and the alum red book "Shendetang system" is written in regular letters.

"Shende Hall" is a group of buildings in the Old Summer Palace, it is located in the west of the Old Summer Palace Jiuzhou Qingyan, built in the tenth year of Daoguang, completed the following year, is a living palace of the Daoguang Emperor in the Old Summer Palace, mainly lived here in his later years. It is also a famous style of Guangxu official kiln porcelain.

Chu Chen looked at the bottle, and judged the authenticity of the bottle in his heart, and then made a request to Cao Jingde.

At this time, Qi Baofu couldn't wait to ask, "Teacher Chu, what do you think of this pastel water chestnut bottle?" ”

Chu Chen didn't answer directly, and first asked, "Mr. Lin, I don't know why you thought of buying this bottle in the first place?" ”

Qi Baofu blurted out: "Because the bottle has clam light!" ”

Hearing this, Cao Jingde raised his head and said: "I said Lao Lin, you are a little wrong, I have read a book before, which has an introduction, the clam light is due to some metal elements in the glaze, after nearly 300 years or so, it gradually drifted to the porcelain surface, so it formed the 'clam light'." Therefore, only the colored glaze of porcelain of the Qing Dynasty Kangxi and Yongzheng Dynasty is likely to appear this kind of 'clam light'. ”

Chu Chen listened to Cao Jingde's explanation, and immediately understood that Cao Jingde's level in porcelain identification was not much higher.

And Qi Baofu immediately retorted: "Lao Cao, what you said is too absolute, I used to see clams on a Jiaqing colorful bowl from my friend." Besides, if you look at the ornamentation on this bottle, if it weren't for the artifacts of the official kiln, would it be able to show such a high level? ”

"This ......" Cao Jingde looked at the bottle in his hand, and couldn't tell why for a while, so he set his eyes on Chu Chen, wanting to hear his opinion.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Chu Chen said with a smile: "Regarding the clam light, Mr. Lin is right about one point, in the actual collection process, not only has the clam light been found on the pastel glaze of the porcelain of the Jiaqing Dynasty in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, but even some colored porcelain in the Tongzhi and Guangxu periods, which are only more than a hundred years old, have also had this halo individually. So if this bottle is genuine, there is also a possibility that clam light will appear. ”

Qi Baofu listened to Chu Chen's explanation, and his face was full of smiles, but Chu Chen's tone changed and said:

"However, this must be based on the premise that the thing is genuine, as for Mr. Lin, your bottle, I am not very optimistic!"

"How so?!" Qi Baofu's face was stunned, and the words before and after made him feel as if he had fallen from heaven to hell all of a sudden, and he suddenly felt cold.

At this time, Qi Baolin opened his mouth and said: "Chu Shao, my cousin often doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin, you can just say the specific reason." ”

Qi Baofu didn't care about Qi Baolin's words at all, he was now full of thoughts about how his own things could be fakes, and asked eagerly: "Teacher Chu, please be able to explain it more clearly." ”

When Chu Chen saw him say this, he directly explained: "Clam light is metallic luster, and the reason why it has metallic luster is because the metal elements contained in the color material gradually gather on the surface of the color material after oxidation and fusion, which is basically the same as the anti-copper principle of bronze, these metal ions gather on the surface, and it produces a metallic luster, which is what we commonly call clam light." ”

"The activities and changes of metal elements are certainly not formed in a short period of time, but now that science and technology are developed, everyone knows the causes, it is easy to do, just get more metal elements in the glaze, so most imitations will have clam light, but clam light is very dead, just in that place. Unlike the real thing, there are many places that are not mentioned, and it looks natural. ”

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, when Qi Baofu looked at his bottle again, the more awkward he looked, and the more he looked at it, the more he understood that his things were likely to be fakes.

However, there was one more thing he thought was very strange, so he asked, "Teacher Chu, why is the painting of this bottle so good?" Could it be that the person who made zuò also had a particularly superb painting skill? ”

Chu Chen shook his head: "Of course not, I just said that our current technology is so high-level, and we have a computer, so that many things can be copied......"

When Qi Baofu heard this, he immediately understood what Chu Chen meant, and exclaimed: "Teacher Chu, do you mean to say that the ornament on my bottle was copied from the genuine ornament?" ”

Chu Chen nodded and said, "That's true, its principle is similar to the painted tiles on our market." And have you noticed that the decoration on this bottle is actually a little crooked, I guess it may be that when the zuò was made at that time, it was not adjusted well, so the seal was crooked. ”

Hearing this, Cao Jingde hurriedly put the bottle on the table, and everyone saw that it was really the same as Chu Chen said, the decoration on the bottle was really crooked.

This made Qi Baofu stunned, and he complained to himself vigorously, and he was not careful when he looked at things.

At this time, Qi Baolin said earnestly: "I said cousin, you have been playing antiques for so many years, after buying something, didn't you say that you accidentally guided it?" After so many years, you have made so many eyes in this area, lost so much money, but the level has not risen at all, I think since you have no talent in antiques, you should stop it as soon as possible! ”

Qi Baofu was a little embarrassed when he heard this, he touched his nose, and said with a resolute face: "Antiques are my only hobby, how can I say that I will stop it!" And in the past few years, my level has been much better than before, and I don't know much about bargaining when buying things like before, isn't this all progress! ”

Qi Baolin was speechless, and said secretly: "Your progress is piled up with money, and the proportion of progress is not proportional to the money spent, what is the point of this progress?" ”

Although he thinks so, Qi Baolin also knows that his cousin is particularly obsessed with antiques, and he is also quite good at making money, so that his family's economy will not be affected because of the loss of antiques.

Therefore, after seeing that Qi Baofu had no intention of repenting, Qi Baolin also went with him. (To be continued......)
