Chapter 496: Apology
After watching Gu Jianming's operation, Chu Chen already has a basic understanding of jade polishing, and I believe that with his mind, as long as he actually operates it a few times, he should be able to master it proficiently.
Just as Chu Chen was about to communicate with Gu Jianming again, Zhou Wenping walked in and said that someone downstairs was looking for him.
"Oh? Do you know that person, Brother Zhou? Chu Chen asked.
"I don't know!" Zhou Wenping shook his head, and then said: "But this person came once at three or four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and I told him to call you if there was something, but then he didn't say anything and left." Oh, by the way, that man's face is full of youth beans, I don't know if you have any impressions. ”
Hearing Zhou Wenping say this, Chu Chen immediately knew that Zhou Wenping should be talking about that Qian Xueyou.
Wu Ke said with disgust on his face: "It turned out to be this guy, Brother Zhou, you just send him away!" ”
"Let's meet again!" Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand: "If we don't see him, he will definitely not leave, you don't want him to pester us like kraft candy, right?" ”
Hearing Chu Chen say this, although Wu Ke was still reluctant, he could only agree.
So, Chu Chen said to Zhou Wenping: "Brother Zhou, please go and bring him up!" ”
"Okay......
Zhou Wenping nodded and went downstairs, while Chu Chen took Wu Ke into the VIP room and sat down.
After a while, Zhou Wenping walked in with Jacky Qian with a flattering look.
Qian Xueyou nodded and walked in front of Chu Chen, then put the things in his hand on the table, and bowed to Chu Chen and you Wu Ke with a smile on his face. Said:
"Chu Shao, I was dizzy before. I offended my sister-in-law, and I came here today to make amends to my sister-in-law. I hope you adults have a lot of them, don't worry about small people like me! ”
After speaking, he looked at Chu Chen and Wu Ke nervously, for fear that they would not accept it, but with his respectful face, smiling is even more ugly than crying, if it is night, a timid child may really be scared to cry by him.
See him with such dignity. Wu Ke turned his head to the side directly, not wanting to see him again, which scared Jacky Qian so much that he almost knelt down for the two.
Seeing his frightened appearance, Chu Chen smiled secretly in his heart, waved his hand and said, "We will accept the apology, but you should take this thing back!" ”
Hearing Chu Chen say this, Jacky Qian suddenly became anxious, and bowed and said, "Don't mind!" Chu Shao. I really know it's wrong, so let me go! ……”
"That's it! Come on! Chu Chen said with a smile: "Where are you, although I am not a man of my word, but my words are still counted." I said that if I don't trouble you, I won't trouble you, but as for the things, you better take them back! ”
Listen to Chu Chen say this. Jacky Qian is a little calmer, but if he brings things back. He was really afraid that Chu Chen would settle accounts with him in the future, as for talking or something. Who knows what kind of temperament this princeling with five people and six people will be!
"Chu Shao, you see this is just a little bit of my care, and it's not a valuable thing, you can take it home as a vase!"
Chu Chen looked at him with a smile and said, "It's really just a worthless thing?" Don't forget that my master is still Liu Lao! ”
"This ...... That ...... "Hearing Chu Chen say this, Jacky Qian didn't know how to say it, but if he was asked to take it back, he would definitely be unwilling."
Although Chu Chen didn't want to have anything to do with Jacky Qian, looking at his appearance, he should not be willing to bring things back, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay!" So, let's see what it is, and if I like it, then I'll pay for it, what do you think? ”
Jacky Qian couldn't think of any other good way to get Chu Chen to accept this thing, so he could only agree.
Chu Chen opened the lid of the brocade box and found that it should contain a Langyao Red Guanyin Venerable.
Guanyin Zun is a kind of style, extravagant mouth, long neck, plump shoulders, the abdomen is gradually closed, to the bottom of the outward skimming, the shape of the vessel is similar to the style of the water bottle held by Guanyin in the hand and gets the name.
The outer wall of this statue is full of Shilang kiln red glaze, the glaze color is strong and bright, the glaze is more fluid, and the bottle body is more and more red down, showing a typical "ox blood red" color. There is an ice crack on the glaze surface, and the edge of the mouth is exposed to a white tire because of the glaze layer, commonly known as "lamp grass edge", and the bottom is white glaze.
In addition, there is also a four-character regular script of "Kangxi Year" at the bottom of the vessel, which looks quite neat, but it is precisely because of this knowledge that Chu Chen immediately knew that only Langyao Red Guanyin Zun was a fake.
Langyao red is a kind of red glaze fired to imitate the characteristics of ruby red glaze in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. The glaze is thick, the glass is strong, and the best product is bright red. Because it is a famous product fired by Lang Tingji, the governor of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, when he concurrently served as the superintendent of the imperial kiln factory in the porcelain capital, it is called Lang kiln red.
Lang kiln red firing process on the firing atmosphere, temperature and other technical indicators are very high, firing a successful product is very difficult, and even have the legend of not hesitating to glaze ruby, gold, etc., so Lang kiln red glazed porcelain was very precious at that time, the folk proverb has "if you want to be poor, burn Lang red" said.
It is precisely because of the difficulty of firing the red ware of the Lang kiln and the circulation is very little, so there are more imitators in later generations, and some of them are very superb, and they can almost be real.
To say that this Guanyin Zun looks good, both in terms of shape and glaze, but Chu Chen didn't know what was going on with the counterfeiter, and he actually drew a snake to add a piece of knowledge, which really made him feel a little funny.
You must know that most of the real Lang Yaohong in the Kangxi period did not have a sense of money, Chu Chen had heard that there were some written sustenance money, but there was no four-character regular script in the Kangxi year, and this kind of utensils was very rare, and he had not seen it with his own eyes.
Therefore, when Chu Chen saw that this Guanyin Zun actually had a sense of style, and found that there were some other places that were different from the real thing, he knew for sure that this was a fake.
The thing used to apologize will actually be a fake, and I don't know what kind of expression Qian Xueyou will have after learning about it, Chu Chen felt a little funny when he thought about it, so he looked at Qian Xueyou with a smile and asked, "I don't know where you bought this Guanyinzun?" ”
"Bought it from a friend of mine who runs an auction house, is there anything wrong with it?" Jacky Qian asked with some confusion.
"I can't see this Guanyin!" Chu Chen shook his head and said.
"Ahh You don't like it! Qian Xueyou said with a surprised face, you must know that he bought this thing for 300,000 yuan, he thought that it was a very good thing in antiques, but he didn't expect Chu Chen to dislike it.
"You're stupid! Achen is saying you're a fake! Wu Ke said angrily.
"Ahh How is this possible! Jacky Qian was shocked when he heard this, and then he shook his head again and again: "Impossible, how could my friend lie to me!" ”
"Cut! People like you can make friends and only make some fox friends and dog friends, don't lie to you! Wu Ke sneered.
Jacky Qian felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, to say that he can be regarded as a real friend, there are indeed only one or two, and the other friends can only be said to be able to play together, if he is really in trouble, it is estimated that he will not help him, but although these friends are not too reliable, he thinks that he should not lie to him like this.
Seeing that Jacky Qian still didn't believe it, Chu Chen shook his head secretly, but in order not to make Jacky Qian feel that this was an excuse he was making, he said: "This Guanyin Zun is indeed a fake, although it is very realistic, but there are still a few places where it is different from the real thing." ”
Speaking of this, Chu Chen pointed to Guanyinzun's mouth and said: "For example, the opening piece at the mouth of this bottle is very small, and it looks like there is a feeling of broken glass, and there is no opening on the inner wall of the bottle mouth, only pure white glaze." If it is genuine, the inner and outer walls of the bottle mouth should have open pieces, and the opening pieces should be natural, in the shape of a "well". ”
"This Chu Shao, let me ask, what are the opening films you are talking about?" Jacky Qian raised his left hand and asked.
"The opening is a natural cracking phenomenon of the glaze of porcelain."
Chu Chen explained simply, and then turned Guanyinzun over and turned it to everyone:
"Look at it again, if it's genuine, then the color of the white glaze at the bottom should be yellow, the term in our industry is called "rice soup white", and there is an open piece. But this Guanyin Zun of yours, the white glaze is snow-white, and it has not yet opened, which is obviously inconsistent with the real thing. ”
In addition, there is a clear demarcation between the red glaze and the ring foot, and it can be judged that the counterfeiter has polished the circle foot to create the "illusion" that the red glaze only flows to the bottom of the object, which is not as natural as the real thing. And this Guanyin Zun has one of the biggest flaws, there is actually a style at the bottom, and the real product just does not have such a style. ”
Speaking of this, Chu Chen put the bottle up again, and took the opportunity to weigh it, so he shook his head and said:
"The weight of this Guanyin Zun is also wrong, obviously the top is light and the bottom is heavy, the weight of the real product should be even, and do you see if this Guanyin Zun looks a little new?"
"It's relatively new, indeed." Jacky Qian said with a sad face: "But my friend said that this kind of bottle just looks like glass." ”
Chu Chen smiled and said: "The surface of the genuine product is indeed like glass, but if this thing is real, then it has gone through nearly three hundred years of history, and under the influence of time, the surface will look like a heavy feeling, how can it be like now, a burst of fireworks, like something that has just been baked for a long time!" ”
"Let me tell you, a fake like this is still easy to identify, and besides, your friend still runs an auction house, even if he doesn't understand it, how can the palm master he hired not see it? So......"
Speaking of this, Chu Chen smiled slightly, and the meaning behind it was self-evident. (To be continued......)
