Of course, it is definitely impossible for Chu Chen to tell Jia Decai now that the interest on the money he owed before has been waived, otherwise how would he complete the predetermined plan?

As for Jia Decai, Chu Chen was already very satisfied that he could help solve this trouble, otherwise if he waited for these antiques to be disposed of and then repaid the money, it would not only be possible to solve the original interest that was originally promised.

So, Judd hurriedly assured with a smile on his face: "Chu Shao, don't worry, these things are gifts from others to my father, and there will definitely be no problem!" ”

"I hope so." Chu Chen nodded lightly, and motioned for Judd to take out the things.

Judd hurriedly picked up a huge suitcase from the side, carefully placed it on the table, took the combination lock on it, and opened the suitcase, only to see that there were four boxes of different sizes inside, and the box was full of foam sponges and other fillings, which should play a shockproof role.

Next, Judd put the boxes in front of Chu Chen one by one and opened them.

Inside the first box, there was a white jade turn.

It was first used in the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty and was popular in the late Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period.

This thing is carved from a whole piece of good Khotanese jade, and its shape imitates the shape of the ancient bronze box. The narrow side is the flow, the wide side is carved, the upper part is the mouth, the front is convex and the rear, the protruding part is the flow, the middle part is the abdomen, and there is no ornamentation; The bottom of the apparatus bears three mammary but-shaped legs.

Its conversion is the beast swallowing type, and the upper part of the conversion is carved with the head of the beast, which is a typical antique cup. The jade quality of the vessel is of high quality. The craftsmanship is superb, and the shape is elegant. The quality is perfect, and it belongs to the fine antique jade carving of the court craftsmen in the early Qing Dynasty.

But. Although the quality of this jade is good, it is just ordinary Khotanese jade, and the carving is far less than the craftsmanship of the palace office in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, with the current market value, only one or two thousand.

Inside the second box, there is a skewer pot with a wide round lip and a straight neck. Shoulders slipped, belly bulging, shins, open symmetrical oblate high hoop feet slightly outward. The ampulla is drooping, and the center of gravity is low and stable. The neck is attached with a pair of symmetrical double flat square ears, which can be decorated in time, and can also be used for stringing rope knots.

This pot foot ridge is exposed, the tire is delicate and firm, and the tire color is iron red and gorgeous. The whole device is round and smooth. The tire repair is neat and the technology is exquisite. And the whole body is only eleven or two centimeters high, which can be regarded as a small object, which makes Chu Chen quite fond of it.

But. This is nothing, and what makes Chu Chen feel even more rare is that this vessel is covered with rust red glaze.

Rust glaze is a high-temperature iron crystalline glaze. Crystalline glaze is a kind of artificial crystal glaze, which has a unique artistic effect if it is properly combined with color glaze. For example, there are various types of crystallization similar to the natural "crystallization" phenomenon in nature. Such as flowers, flower clusters, mica, rhombus, duckweed and geometric shapes, etc.

The chrysanthemum-like crystals have a three-dimensional effect because of their different ability to reflect light in all directions. It looks as vivid and colorful as a blooming chrysanthemum. Imagine if this crystalline glazed tile was inlaid on the walls and floors of the interior, what would be the beauty of the light illuminating it?

And if the crystals in the shape of stars are matched with sky blue colors, the glaze is as if the blue sky is full of stars.

Therefore, if different varieties and types of vessels can choose the appropriate crystalline glaze (crystal size, shape, color) to decorate, it can receive an artistic effect that artificial decoration cannot reach.

In fact, as far away as the Song Dynasty, there was a germination of crystalline glaze in China, and the famous products such as "Tianmu" and "Xingzhan" at that time, as well as the color glaze microcrystalline products such as the free hair, tortoiseshell flying oil droplets, partridge spots, etc., were considered to be the earliest crystalline glaze products in the world.

Like the iron embroidery glaze used in this string belt pot, it is also the main variety of crystalline glaze, only to see its enamel crystalline and strong iron sand texture; The glaze is bright, quite rich and elegant; The glaze is thick and has a frosted feel. Local rust spots, color, texture can be chaotic, really refreshing and pleasing to the eye.

Moreover, judging from the tire, glaze, and process characteristics of the pot, as well as the "Yongzheng Year" four-character two-line uncircled Yang inscription at the bottom, this thing should be a genuine official kiln in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, due to the complex process conditions of crystalline glaze, the stability of the product is not high, and the size of the crystallization and the location of the occurrence are difficult to control. Therefore, such a perfect and exquisite Yongzheng official kiln rust glaze can be said to be very rare, of course, the value is not cheap, Chu Chen estimates that the market value should be about 150,000.

Seeing the things in the third box, Chu Chen immediately became excited, the thing was nothing else, it was the pair of doucai candlesticks that he had been thinking about for a long time.

After calming down his excitement, Chu Chen directly picked up the candlestick and used the ability, and the result also made him quite satisfied, the rest of the treasure map was indeed hidden in the candlestick.

Chen Dewang felt a little strange when he saw Chu Chen holding the candlestick motionless, and asked, "Xiao Chen, what's wrong?" Is this a problem with candlesticks? ”

Before Chu Chen could respond, Judd shook his head again and again: "How is this possible, this pair of candlesticks was given to him by a very good friend of his on my father's birthday, it must not be fake!" ”

Chen Dewang was very grateful to Chu Chen for being able to help so much, in this case, how could he let Chu Chen buy a fake? So, he glared at Judd, and while taking a candlestick in his hand for identification, he said, "Whoever tells you that what you give as a gift must be good?" Things are what Chu Shao wants, and they have to be carefully identified! ”

Jia Decai listened to what Chen Dewang said, and immediately didn't dare to say anything, he now knew Chu Chen's identity, if the things he sold to Chu Chen were fake, the consequences would be much stricter than now.

In fact, for Chu Chen, the most important thing is to find the rest of the treasure map, and now even if the candlestick is a fake, he will buy it for the real price.

Although Chen Dewang is doing this with good intentions, it will undoubtedly produce some variables for him, such as Chen Dewang not letting him buy it after he found out that it was a fake, which is not what he wants.

Although, Chu Chen hoped that Chen Dewang would not see that the candlestick was a fake, but with Chen Dewang's decades of experience and eyesight, this was obviously impossible.

So, after Chen Dewang saw this pair of candlesticks, he shook his head and sighed: "To be honest, the person who made this pair of candlesticks is indeed a master, but he obviously didn't do enough homework, and put some of the characteristics of Yongzheng Doucai on Qianlong Doucai." ”

Chu Chen nodded on the surface, but thought in his heart, Old Chen guessed wrong this time, it was not that Zhang Huoni did not do his homework, but that he deliberately made it like this. Of course, this is something that only those who have read the notes will know.

For Jia Decai, who was in urgent need of money, this result was obviously not what he hoped for, and it was hard to believe, and said: "Brother-in-law, you are wrong, how can this be fake? ”

"Am I still wrong about this kind of question?" Chen Dewang snorted coldly: "Look at this pair of candlesticks, whether it is color or pattern, the pattern is more refined than before, the color is thinner, and the tone is very soft and elegant." And this ......"

Chen Dewang solved the reason, and only after hearing it did Judd be skeptical, and finally saw that Chu Chen also thought so, so he reluctantly accepted this reality.

Chu Chen said: "Actually, I think this pair of candlesticks is not useless, and it should be imitated during the Republic of China, and it is good to buy it as an ornament." ”

When Chen Dewang saw Chu Chen say this, he mistakenly thought that Chu Chen wanted to help him and wanted to persuade Chu Chen not to buy it, but because Jia Decai was next to him, if he said this, it might make Jia Decai dissatisfied, so he didn't say much. But when he saw the suspicious look in Judd's eyes, he suddenly became angry.

Chu Chen also discovered this scene in front of him, and he sighed in his heart, this is exactly the variable he was worried about just now, but the matter has come to this point, he can only be reasonable, and by the way, he threatened Jia De a little with his identity, he said: "Mr. Jia, you don't think that I have a good relationship with your brother-in-law to lie to you, right?" ”

"No, no! No matter how I am, I won't fail to believe you! Jia Decai hurriedly shook his head, but Chu Chen and Chen Dewang are both old rivers and lakes, so they can't see his duplicity.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Jia, if you don't believe it, you can let others identify this pair of candlesticks first, and then we will trade them in the future." ”

As he spoke, a hint of fierceness flashed in his gaze at Judd, which made Judd shudder.

But for Jia Decai, the wealth represented by this candlestick is obviously not something he can resist now, and he is very hesitant for a while, should he sell things to Chu Chen at the price of imitations during the Republic of China?

Seeing this situation, Chen Dewang was furious, he signaled to Chu Chen, pulled Jia Decai aside and scolded in a low voice, then he suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Xiaocai, do you think I will lie to you for this money?" Besides, even if you don't know how to authenticate antiques, can't you hear the reason I just said whether it's true or not? ”

Judd lowered his head and didn't speak, and said in his heart: "Who knows if you say that the fake is true?" ”

Chen Dewang saw Jia Decai's appearance, knowing what he was saying now, Jia Decai probably wouldn't believe it, he sighed secretly and said, "Since you don't believe it, then you can go to the antique market and ask yourself." However, you have rejected Chu Shao now, then you must discount other things, as for the reason, you should know. ”

Chen Dewang mistakenly thought that Chu Chen just wanted to help, so he felt that it didn't matter if Jia Decai didn't sell the candlestick, and because of this, it was still very cost-effective to be able to give Chu Chen some discounts on the price. (To be continued......)
