Seeing that everyone nodded, Chu Chen continued: "Most of the ancient jade there is old, if it is in the daytime, you can see it at a glance, but now such an environment will be slapping your eyes if you are not careful."

And there are a lot of high imitations in the ghost market, which is even more difficult to find in this environment, so you have to be very careful, and if you meet something you like, don't buy it in a hurry. ”

After listening to Chu Chen, the three young people who had never been to the ghost market all looked dejected, and those ancient jades just now looked like they were all real, how could they all be fake? And listen to him, there are more powerful imitations than this, how can they dig treasure? It seems that this ghost market is really not a place for beginners like them.

Seeing them like this, Chu Chen hurriedly smiled and said, "Hehe, don't be discouraged, I just want you to see more and buy less, if you come across something you like, aren't there still us here?" ”

The three of them thought about it, anyway, they didn't expect their eyesight, and they would definitely trouble Chu Chen and them before buying it, and they were suddenly excited again.

Next, the six of them visited five or six stalls one after another, although they didn't buy anything, but listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Li Guodong and they also learned a lot of things.

"Huh!"

When everyone came to a small stall, Chu Yulan was immediately attracted by something, and then squatted in front of the stall to observe it carefully. Chu Chen followed her gaze and looked over, it turned out to be a bloodstone chapter, and it really looked like that.

The stall in front of me is also quite distinctive, and the things on it are all small items, such as the four treasures of the study, seals, snuff bottles, etc. Seeing this, everyone also picked out their favorite things, and the stall owner didn't speak, just looked at them with a smile.

Chu Yulan frowned and looked at the bloodstone chapter material in her hand for three or four minutes, and then felt a little satisfied, so she handed it to Chu Chen to help her take a look.

Bloodstone is a ground stone with cinnabar bands, and its color is more bright red than cinnabar. Because its color is as bright red as chicken blood, it is commonly known as bloodstone. The production of bloodstone is quite limited, and the most famous bloodstones are named after Changhua and Bahrain bloodstones in China according to their origins.

There is also an ancient legend about the birth of bloodstone, according to ancient people, there was a kind of mythical bird in ancient times, called "bird lion", which was very aggressive by nature. One day, foraging flew over Yuyan Mountain, and saw a phoenix hatching eggs, and suddenly had evil thoughts and launched an attack on it. The unprepared phoenix was bitten off his leg.

Feng heard the news and rushed to defeat the "bird lion" together. Although the phoenix was victorious, the blood of the phoenix flowed, dyeing the entire Yuyan Mountain red, and then it became a bloodstone as lustrous as beautiful jade.

According to detailed research, the mining of bloodstone began in the Song Dynasty, and was famous in the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi, Qianlong, Jiaqing and other emperors appreciated Changhua bloodstone very much, and used it as the main chapter material of the treasure seal. Therefore, it is juxtaposed with Shou Yamada Huang and enjoys the reputation of "Queen of Printing Stones".

Due to the high quality and high price of bloodstone, there are many counterfeiters.

Like this bloodstone, as soon as Chu Chen got started, his ability still reacted, but its weight felt a little different from the bloodstone he had encountered before, and then looking at the texture and level, he could basically judge that this chapter was not a real bloodstone, so he shook his head slightly at Chu Yulan.

Chu Yulan was still quite confident in Chu Chen's eyesight, and when she saw him veto, she felt a little disappointed, but she still put the bloodstone back in its place.

"Xiaochen, come and see this snuffbox." Li Guodong handed the snuffbox in his hand to Chu Chen.

As soon as the snuffbox arrived in his hand, Chu Chen's eyes lit up.

This is a crystal painted snuff bottle, the pot is in the shape of a long flat bottle, with a straight mouth and a sloping shoulder, an oval ring foot, and a dignified shape. With the theme of the Four Kings Landscape, the painting is fine and the artistic conception is far-reaching, which shows the superb painting skills of the author. Zuihou pot bottom inscription "Xin Mao Spring Zhou Le Yuan made".

Zhou Leyuan, Chu Chen also knew that he was active in the Guangxu period, this palace lantern painter, a master of the Beijing School of interior painting who was born with a good hand in yarn lanterns, has a high literary quality and painting attainments.

His inner painting style is vigorous, the pen is rigorous, more imitation of Huangshi Valley, Silla Shanren and other famous handwriting, but also Gong Bangan's Fan Shi was used in the inner painting, the "Cold River Fishing Snow", "Wind and Snow Return to the Boat", "Bamboo Art Map" and other internal painting pots, known as gods.

His works cover a wide range of subjects, including landscapes, figures, flowers, birds, grasses and insects, and calligraphy. The color of the work is mainly light blue, which is elegant and pleasant, but it is also embellished with red, orange, green, white and other colors, vivid and distinct. He is especially good at landscape painting, and has blended the beauty of landscape painting in the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties.

This snuff bottle, no matter how you look at it, should be Zhou Yuanyuan's authentic handiwork, and the results of the ability identification are also the same, and this is still a masterpiece painted by him.

At this time, none of the others picked the items they were satisfied with, and they had already stood up, so Chu Chen thought about it and said pretendingly: "Brother Li, it's really xiexie, I'm still satisfied with this snuffbox, boss, let's get a price." ”

The boss looked at the snuffbox in Chu Chen's hand and said, "Five thousand." ”

Hearing this price, Chu Chen was overjoyed, the boss didn't know the goods, so he stretched out a finger and raised it.

Seeing this, the boss smiled bitterly and said: "This brother, you are too ruthless, this price will definitely not be successful, you can add more." ”

Chu Chen smiled, made a gesture of one thousand six, and then said: "That's the price, if it doesn't work out, boss, give me a word." After speaking, he showed a posture of leaving.

"Come on, it's yours." The boss quickly replied. I thought to myself, this young man's money is easy to earn, and what he took for one hundred and five changed hands and made one thousand four hundred and five, and this man was a mallet.

He took out his wallet, counted sixteen red tickets, handed them to the boss, and then put the snuff bottle directly into his pocket, then greeted the boss with a smile, and left the stall happily with the others.

After walking a distance, Chu Chen handed the snuffbox to Li Guodong, and told him some information about Zhou Leyuan, and then said with a smile: "The price of Zhou Leyuan's inner painting snuff bottle is still good, just last year, a snuff bottle made by Zhou Leyuan, which is similar to it, was auctioned for 66,000. ”

When Li Guodong heard this, the corners of his mouth were about to grin behind his ears, he hurriedly returned the money to Chu Chen, and then gently stroked the snuffbox.

Seeing this, everyone laughed secretly in their hearts, Wen Yuting glanced at him even more, and said angrily: "Death! ”

After laughing, Chu Chen turned his head and explained to Chu Yulan: "Xiaolan, you should feel a little bit of the bloodstone just now, the chicken blood on it is a little stiff, right?" This is supposed to be a fake with the mosaic method. ”

The mosaic method is fraudulent, that is, a piece of fossil medallion with a more textured texture, select several eye-catching places, dig out small pits of different depths, and then embed them with red mercury sulfide paint, wait until they are naturally dry, and then polish and wax.

However, this embedded chicken blood (mercury sulfide) has no layers, and the color of the junction between the blood and Chang fossil appears stiff and there is no transition.

Chu Yulan thought about it, it was really like this, no wonder she always felt a little awkward when she looked at it.

Next, after visiting a few stalls, Chu Yulan found another piece of Tianhuangshi's chapter material, this chapter material is still good, but the boss opened it and asked for 150,000 yuan, Chu Chen, who listened to it, frowned, and hurriedly stopped Chu Yulan, and the price was not returned, so he walked away with the others.

"Brother Chu, what's wrong, I think that piece of material is very good." After walking a distance, Chu Yulan asked a little strangely.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Xiaolan, that piece of material is good, but it is worth 20,000 at most, and he will ask for 150,000 when he opens his mouth, and this price cannot be negotiated at all." You must know that like a ghost market, it is like a small commodity, he makes a price, and if you make a counteroffer, maybe he will pester you, and others will not care about you. ”

"In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, remember next time, if you come to the ghost market and encounter this kind of high price, don't open your mouth, and go straight to the right place. This is especially true in the field. ”

After listening to what Chu Chen said, Chu Yulan and the three of them were surprised, they didn't expect that there were such twists and turns in the ghost market, as students in the ivory tower, they couldn't have imagined it at all.

Before they could wake up, they heard a commotion not far away, and when they saw this, everyone walked over curiously.

"What's the matter with you, obviously I made a bid, and you acquiesced, how can you say that if you don't buy it, you won't buy it?" I saw a man with a roe deer head and a rat eye, holding a small bronze tripod in his left hand, and a young man in his right hand, said angrily.

"I didn't, I just went over with you and looked at it, and I didn't say anything at all!" The young man was sweating profusely.

The man said fiercely: "What, you still want to cheat, you see if my buddy agrees." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, three strong men surrounded him.

"Hey......"

As soon as Chu Yulan wanted to speak, he was pulled away by Chu Chen, and after leaving that side for a distance, he said:

"Xiaolan, this kind of thing, let's get less involved."

"weishenme, obviously that person is forced to buy and sell!" Chu Yulan was a little incomprehensible.

"That's right, I see that man is not a good person, and you see the things in his hands, tattered, so ugly, you can tell that it is not a good thing at a glance." Wen Yuting also had an indignant expression on her face.

Chu Chen smiled bitterly: "You two, let's dissipate your anger first, think about it, this kind of thing is justified by the public, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable, what reason should we take care of it?" But you can rest assured, their group of people will not dare to make a big fuss, at most scare the young man, and more market managers will intervene. ”
