Chapter 10136: An Impossible Situation
There was nothing to do all the way, the business car stopped in front of a teahouse, everyone immediately got out of the car, and then under the leadership of the waiter, they came to a private room.
At this time, there was an old man about sixty years old, dressed in a Tang costume, and a man of thirty-seven or eighteen years old.
The old man stood up and greeted Qiao Qingtai with a smile: "Old Qiao, you guys came quite quickly." â
Qiao Qingtai said: "Aren't you talking nonsense, such an important matter, I can't come quickly?" However, why didn't Old Man Qin come? â
"It's not that you don't know, he's the best face, and he's more or less responsible for this matter, can he come? Xiao Qin, did you say? The old man smiled at the man next to him.
The man smiled a little awkwardly and didn't say much.
Judging from the fact that the old man called him and looked a little similar to Qin Jin, Chu Chen felt that the man should be Qin Jin's descendant, maybe he was Qin Jin's son.
"If you know your mistakes, you can change them, and you can do a great deal of goodness. Forget it, let's not talk about it, let me introduce you to you......"
Saying that, Qiao Qingtai introduced the two sides, the old man's name is Hong Xiaozhu, a more common name in the countryside, and the other is Qin Haojiang, this person is indeed Qin Jin's son as Chu Chen originally guessed.
After a few greetings, Qiao Qingtai asked, "Xiao Qin, can you tell me what happened?" Affair? â
Qin Haojiang nodded: "Please take a look at this thing first." â
As he spoke, he pointed to a white-glazed jug on the table.
The holding pot has a straight mouth, a long neck, and folded shoulders. Lap foot. The handle and flow are all out of the shoulder, reflecting the characteristics of the times at that time. White glaze is applied throughout. The shoulders are engraved with a large banana leaf pattern, and the abdomen is decorated with a double fine banana leaf pattern. The rest of the light element, the leaf pattern is arranged in a neat and orderly manner, under the background of glaze water, the three-dimensional sense is full, and the foot is exposed. The upper hole is used as a lid.
This pot is well-made, elegant in shape, and is a typical kiln process, especially the word "official" engraved at the bottom of the pot. The font is thin and powerful, and it is even more eye-catching.
"The word 'official' is set to hold the pot in the kiln?!" After taking a closer look at this artifact, Qiao Qingtai looked surprised.
So far, about 150 pieces of artifacts with the word "official" have been found in the Dingyao kiln (including the remnants), most of which are in major museums, and there are about 10 pieces of standing pieces, which shows the preciousness of this holding pot.
But this is not what Qiao Qingtai was most surprised about, because Qin Haojiang took out this thing, it must be because it had a problem, but Qiao Qingtai looked at it for a long time. He didn't find anything wrong with this Dingyao porcelain, which made him doubt his eyesight.
Hong Xiaozhu said with a smile: "Old Qiao, look dumbfounded, don't say it's you." I didn't see anything wrong at first. â
Qiao Qingtai heard the words and asked, "Oh, you mean to say, you see something wrong?" â
Hong Xiaozhu smiled proudly: "Of course." My eyesight is so much better than yours. â
Qiao Qingtai scolded with a smile: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and let it go if you have a fart." Don't brag about it. Besides, there is a specialization in the art industry. I'm a miscellaneous person, can I compare with yours as a professional? â
"Looks like you're still a little self-aware."
Hong Xiaozhu said with a smile: "Generally speaking, such official style Dingyao porcelain was fired from the late Tang Dynasty to the early Northern Song Dynasty, and from the perspective of the style of the pot decoration and other characteristics, it should be made in the early Five Dynasties. â
"For example, the product modeling of the early Ding kiln can be divided into two categories, one is influenced by the Xing kiln, which not only imitates the Xing kiln, but also is roughly the same as the Xing kiln in glaze color; The second type imitates the gold and silver vessels that were prevalent at the time. Combined with the characteristics of porcelain, the various bowls, plates, cups, etc., created by zĂ o, the official and new official white porcelain belong to the latter. This type of carcass is generally thinner, and more methods such as flower mouth, ridge, and edging are used. â
"But what about this holding pot, although the process is not much of a problem, but in terms of details, it is exposed, such as the bottom of the pot, if it is genuine, then the process should be like this......"
In addition, the firing method of the fifth generation adopts the upside firing method of one box and one vessel. In order to avoid the body from being bonded with the kiln furniture, it is separated by quartz sand grains, so that after firing, quartz sand particles are often glued to the bottom of the utensils near the glaze, which is also a characteristic of the early kiln. â
"The utensils that are fired by the overfiring method, have no glaze on the edge of the mouth, and have carved or printed decorations belong to the late Northern Song Dynasty. But this holding pot looks like it was fired by the back-firing method, and there are quartz sand grains at the bottom, but if you look closely, there are still traces of the over-firing method. â
Hearing this, Qin Haojiang smiled bitterly and said, "Old Hong, you are right, my father was deceived by the quartz sand at the bottom. â
Qiao Qingtai pursed his lips when he heard this, and wanted to say that it was understandable that someone like him who was not good at it could see it, but Qin Jin was a little wrong if he saw it, and with his experience, as long as he was careful, he could see it. If Qin Jin was here, Qiao Qingtai would not have to taunt him, but now in front of his son, it would not be convenient to say it.
Qiao Qingtai then asked, "Is there anything else?" â
Seeing that Hong Xiaozhu shook his head, he smiled again: "I thought you were so powerful, after a long time, you found such a loophole." â
Hong Xiaozhu said angrily: "Xiao Qin is only ten minutes earlier than you, like this fake and really high-level imitation, how many mistakes can I see in such a little time?" â
Qiao Qingtai smiled: "That's because your eyesight is not good, you look at Xiao Chu, you must find more problems than yours." â
Hong Xiaozhu laughed: "Old Qiao, you say this to borrow Curator Chu's hand to embarrass my face, be careful that I go around spreading that Curator Chu disrespects the elders." â
Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, if you say it boldly, if he dares to say so, I will beat him." â
Chu Chen smiled bitterly when he heard this: "Old Qiao, you really 'love' me too much......
After a few jokes, Chu Chen went on to explain: "Now when archaeologists are excavating the Ding kiln, they have found a firewood kiln that burned the flame during the Five Dynasties, plus some other clues. It can be proved that the white porcelain of the Ding kiln in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties was fired with a reducing flame. Because it is fueled by firewood and fired in a reducing flame. Therefore, it has a high degree of whiteness and also has a certain transparency. â
Therefore, the glaze color pure white or white flash blue (some similar to green and white porcelain) is an important feature of the early kiln. The white porcelain of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty was fired by an oxidation flame, and the glaze of the white porcelain of the Ding kiln contained iron and titanium, which was fired in the oxidation flame, and the glaze color was white and yellow. Therefore, there is a clear difference in the color of white porcelain from the early Dingyao. â
"Everyone, please look at the glaze of this holding pot, although the glaze is relatively white, but you can still see it when you observe it with a magnifying glass. It is essentially supposed to be fired with an oxidation flame, and the reason for its current effect is simply that the formula of the porcelain clay has been improved. â
According to Chu Chen's prompts, everyone found that it was indeed as Chu Chen said, and found that it was indeed fired with an oxidation flame.
Next, Chu Chen explained a few more details, which made everyone suddenly praise Chu Chen's eyesight. However, what everyone doesn't know is. Chu Chen also found a place that made him puzzled by this holding pot, and he was a little puzzled.
Hong Xiaozhu gave Chu Chen a thumbs up and said, "He is worthy of being a famous teacher and apprentice." If I hadn't been reminded of these points, I really wouldn't have been able to see them. â
Chu Chen hurriedly waved his hand, smiled and said a few words modestly. Qiao Qingtai said, "Xiao Qin." Now you can always tell what the hell is going on, right? â
Before Qin Haojiang could speak, Chu Chen hurriedly asked, "Wait a minute." Mr. Qin, I wonder if Elder Qin notified the case handlers of this matter? â
After all, soldiers are fast. A minute late is likely to let Cai Jianxuan run.
Qin Haojiang nodded and said, "I've already called that side before." â
When Qiao Qingtai heard this, he complained: "He is really, if he told this earlier, he might have arrested Cai Jianxuan." â
Qin Haojiang smiled embarrassedly, he also knew that his father had done a bad job, but in the end it was his father, of course, he still had to help explain: "Actually, this thing was given to my father-in-law by my father-in-law, and you also know that my father-in-law's house is not in Jiangcheng, it will take a lot of time to bring it over, my father just wants to be safe." â
Qiao Qingtai was a little unimpressed by this, now is the critical time to arrest Cai Jianxuan, there is a way to kill the mistake and not let go, since there are clues, no matter what, it is the right way to report it, this time if the case-handling personnel got the news a little late, let Cai Jianxuan escape, then Qin Jin must be responsible.
Next, Qin Haojiang recounted what happened.
Actually, things are quite simple, a year ago, Qin Jin met a black market businessman by chance, and in this year, the two sides traded several precious cultural relics, and the friendship between the two sides also increased greatly.
Two weeks ago, Qin Wujiang's father-in-law had a birthday, and Qin Jin was about to buy something as a gift, just as the black market merchant had some goods placed by him to sell, Qin Jin went to see it, and this thing was the pot in front of him.
Since the dealings were not once or twice, Qin Jin was very relieved about this transaction, so he didn't look too carefully when he observed, and bought the things back. It wasn't until Chu Chen dissected the "teapot" the day before yesterday that he realized that there was something wrong with the thing he bought, so he hurriedly asked Qin Haojiang to bring the thing......
After listening to what happened, Chu Chen probably guessed that the reason why Qin Jin only told the matter today was that he actually had a relationship with the black market merchant. Do you think, how innocent can the black market merchant's goods be, if Qin Jin explains things clearly, what should he do with the precious cultural relics he bought before? .
Of course, since the matter has come to this point, Chu Chen will not care about Qin Jin's affairs, what he is most concerned about now is to arrest Cai Jianxuan as much as possible, but before that, he must also figure out one thing.
Chu Chen asked, "Mr. Qin, Elder Qin did tell you that he saw that seller with someone suspected of Cai Jianxuan three days ago?" Did he get the timing right? â
"Yes, he did, and the timing couldn't have been mistaken." Qin Haojiang nodded affirmatively.
When Chu Chen heard this answer, he couldn't help frowning, because judging from the situation he had now, this situation was obviously impossible. (To be continued......)
