Chapter 43 Tian Huang Ornaments
I saw that the lake water is crystal clear, it is easy to see the small fish in the lake swimming comfortably, and there are a few golden weeping willows planted on the edge of the lake.
Coupled with the east and west intersection of the gourd-shaped small lake, there is an antique small bridge, and the whole picture gives people a beautiful scene of a small bridge and flowing water. What beautiful scenes did he see, he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, in the future, if he bought a house by himself, should he buy a courtyard house or this kind of residence full of quaint natural scenery?
On the east side of the lake, among the shade and weeping willows, there is an exquisite octagonal pavilion.
At this time, there was a white-haired old man sitting in the pavilion, and a slim young girl, the two of them were drinking tea and chatting, and on the wooden table in the center of the pavilion, there was a brocade box, which should be the Tianhuang birthday ornament that Liu Qinshu said just now.
When the old man saw Uncle Wu and them coming, he greeted him and said, "Ziping, you are here, this is your nephew?" The young man looks very energetic. ”
"Hello Liu."
Uncle Wu and Chu Chen first stepped forward to greet Liu Lao, and then Uncle Wu replied: "Yes, this is my nephew, Chu Chen, I brought it into our business single-handedly, and now I can be regarded as a small achievement in porcelain." ”
After hearing this, Liu Lao said with some joy and emotion: "It's good to have achievements, we need fresh blood to join in this industry, the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, our generation is already old!" ”
Hearing what Liu Lao said, Li Beibei immediately complimented: "Grandpa Liu, you, are you not old with the sword, or are you the back waves in the Yangtze River?" ”
Everyone laughed softly when she said this.
After Li Beibei greeted Uncle Wu, she said slyly: "Uncle Wu, this is your nephew, he looks like a human, I don't know if it's really as powerful as you said?" ”
When Chu Chen heard her say this, there was a wry smile on his face, thinking that he should have suffered an unwarranted disaster with Wu Ke, and said with some slander in his heart, if you have the ability to fight with Wu Ke, what are you doing when you are angry with others.
To say that Li Beibei's appearance is similar to Wu Ke's, she is almost about 1.7 meters tall, her facial features are very exquisite, but she has a heroic feeling, while Wu Ke's style is different, she is like a small jasper.
The key is that Li Beibei's chest is indeed very majestic, and she is indeed called the title of a cow, if she is on the street, her beauty and figure, a man's return rate should be 100%.
Such a beauty, usually on the road, Chu Chen will definitely take a few more looks, but that is just an appreciation of beauty, when it comes to liking, he still likes Wu Ke's type a little more, of course, Wu Ke's character is still a little unbearable.
It is not bad to be able to meet such a beautiful woman in ordinary times, and it doesn't matter if you are prejudiced or not, but today is a very important day for Chu Chen, which is related to his future development in the antique industry. The first meeting with Liu Lao, he didn't want to make any mistakes because of Li Beibei's prejudice, so that Liu Lao had a bad impression of him.
"You kid."
The grievances between Li Beibei and Wu Ke, Liu Lao has also heard about them, and he also knows that she said so, but what she said also makes a little sense, whether it is powerful or not, it can't be shown by talking about it, so he turned his head to Chu Chen and said:
"Well, what Beibei said is also reasonable, just like that, Xiao Chu, Beibei brought a Tianhuang ornament this time, so you can tell us about it."
"Old Qian, this ......"
Uncle Wu was a little anxious when he heard that Qian Lao actually asked Chu Chen to identify Tian Huang, although in addition to porcelain, he usually let Chu Chen know more about other aspects of antique knowledge, but he has a specialization in the art industry, and he has no confidence in Chu Chen's identification ability in Tian Huang.
Seeing Uncle Wu's anxious appearance, Liu Lao smiled and said: "Ziping, if Xiao Chu is really like what you told me that day, then how is this ornament, he must be able to see it, do you think that I will be strong?" ”
Uncle Wu was a little embarrassed when Liu Lao said this, but Chu Chen gave him a reassuring look on the side, then put the things in his hand aside, and looked at the Tianhuang Shouxing ornament in the brocade box.
Tian Huang, I believe that everyone is not unfamiliar, is a kind of "soft gem" unique to our country, the whole shijie is only produced in a field of less than one square kilometer in Shoushan, southeast province of our country, because the hue is generally yellow, and it is mainly produced in the field, so it is called Tian Huangshi.
The material of Tianhuang stone is warm and moist, and it can be said to be the first product in the soft carved stone. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, Tian Huang was offered into the palace as a tribute, and was carved into the imperial seal and artistic ornaments, so Tian Huangshi was respected as "the king of the stone" and "the stone emperor", so its value is incomparable.
Therefore, since ancient times, Tian Huangshi has the saying of "one or two fields of yellow and ten taels of gold", but because of Tianhuang after so many years of mining, it has become more and more rare, and the price has risen year after year in recent years, so that some people have changed the previous statement to "one or two fields of yellow and ten thousand taels of gold", which shows its preciousness.
However, Tian Huang because of its preciousness, since ancient times there have been fakes flooded with it, now science and technology is developed, Tian Huang's fraud is everywhere, such as using chemical means to dye fake skin, with other colors and similar texture of the stone impersonation, and so on, it is really difficult to prevent, so when buying Tian Huang, you must polish your eyes.
Before Chu Chen picked up the ornament, Baojue reminded him that this thing was valuable, and Tian Huang was very gentle and delicate in his hand, and it was the same as the real Tian Huang, but until now, it could not be proved that this Tian Huang ornament was genuine, Chu Chen knew that there were several imitations that also had such characteristics, and they also had their value.
Then, Chu Chen took out a flashlight and a magnifying glass, observed the ornament in detail little by little, and then put the ornament back into the box.
Seeing this, Liu Lao asked him, "Xiao Chu, what do you think?" ”
"Then I'll tell you what I think, but I'm only shallow in the next year, and if there is anything wrong or inadequate, please forgive me."
Chu Chen was humble at first, and then said: "This Tianhuang Shouxing ornament, the birthday star is finely carved, and the beard is carved in a messy but not messy manner, which can be said to be quite charming, and at first glance, the pulp and carving work seem to be the work of the middle Qing Dynasty. ”
"It seems that you really have a set of things like Uncle Wu said." When Li Beibei heard Chu Chen say this, her face was a little happy.
Seeing this, Liu Qinshu smiled and said: "Beibei, you are twenty-four, why are you still so anxious, let Xiao Chu finish his words first." ”
Li Beibei stuck out her tongue a little embarrassed when she heard Liu Qinshu hear this, that look was really playful and cute.
Chu Chen couldn't help but be stunned when he saw her like this, and then quickly turned his attention back and said apologetically: "Miss Li, I'm really sorry, just now I just said that at first glance, it looks like a work in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, but in fact, this ornament should actually be a contemporary work." ”
"How is this possible?" When Li Beibei heard him say this, she immediately became anxious.
When Liu Lao saw her appearance, he comforted: "Okay, Beibei, don't worry, even if you are in a hurry, the fake can't become real, let's listen to Xiao Chu first." ”
Tian Huang because of its preciousness, if you buy the wrong one, the loss is quite large, especially this ornament, it is estimated that there will be about 100 grams, even if this piece of Tian Huang is not too good, but it should also be good for hundreds of thousands of prices.
Seeing this, Chu Chen could only give her an apologetic look, and then picked up the ornament and explained to everyone: "Actually, this ornament is neither real nor real, it is said to be true because the Tian Huang it uses is real, and it is not true because it is made up of some small pieces of Tian Huang." ”
Hearing this, Li Beibei wanted to interject again, but was stopped by Liu Qinshu in time, Chu Chen smiled faintly when he saw this, and then used a strong flashlight to shine on a position on the ornament and said:
"If it is a real Tianhuang stone, then its red checkered pattern must be continuous, and its characteristics should be the same. Look, the red checkered pattern here is developed and continuous, and when you get here, the red checkered pattern has some differences compared with the place just now. ”
"Let's look at the radish pattern again, the real Tianhuang, the thickness of the radish pattern is more consistent, the distribution is more uniform, staggered, continuous, but here, there is obviously an inconsistent thickness, and there is a disconnection phenomenon. From these two points, it can be seen that this ornament is a piece of Tian Huang made of patchwork. ”
"Of course, there is another earthen method, which can also be distinguished, if there is a needle, just burn it red with fire, and then prick it in the places I just pointed out, there should be smoke, which is the phenomenon that occurs after the adhesive is melted."
"But from these two points, it can also be seen that the person who made this ornament is a master, first of all, the material he selected, the radish pattern and the red check pattern inside are relatively similar, if this point is not very carefully observed, it is likely to be missed."
"Moreover, this person's carving is also very clever, those patchwork interfaces, he has used ingenious techniques to cover up the past, so that people don't look stiff at all, and after the carving is completed, he should use the powder ground from Tianhuang stone, and after blending, the interface is covered up again, which is even more fake."
"But although this ornament is carved from a patchwork of Tian Huang, but the Tian Huang used and its carving work are still good, so there is still some value, I don't know how much Miss Li spent when you bought it, if it is less, it is also appropriate."
But looking at Li Beibei's tangled expression, she should have spent a lot of money when she bought it.
