The mood, color and charm of each flower on the scroll are absolutely the same, and the layout of the various flowers is sparse and brightly colored, as if it has just been picked from a branch.

The flowers and branches are filled with double hooks, and the leaves are dyed layer by layer with the boneless method, and there is an elegant sense in the workmanship. The color is gorgeous and elegant, and the method of Qian Shun's legacy has its own face. It can be said that the vigorous, vivid and attractive charm when the flowers are in full bloom is vividly expressed.

When the scroll was just unfolded, Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe's attention was attracted by this painting, and when they arrived at Zuihou, they even took out a magnifying glass to appreciate it little by little.

After a long time, Chu Chen put away the magnifying glass in his hand and exclaimed: "From this flower picture alone, it can be seen that his name is well deserved, in terms of artistic conception, there is not only the atmosphere of wealth and nobility, but also the charm of wildness; In terms of technique, there is not only a neat and delicate road, but also a freehand swaying all the way, worthy of being the founder of the "hook flower point leaf school". ”

"It's no wonder that Wang Shizhen commented on Zhou Zhimian and said: 'Since the victory of the country, there are no people who write flowers and plants like Wu County, and Wu County is not as good as Chen Daofu and Lu Shuping since Shen Qinan.

Liu Sizhe also sighed: "Yes, if you want to say that Zhou Zhimian's works are both true and wonderful, it can be seen from this flower picture, it is really famous!" ”

Yi Hongguo said with a smile: "This flower picture of Zhou Zhimian is good. ”

"It's not just good, it's a high-quality product!" When Liu Sizhe said this, he smiled and said, "Uncle Yi, I don't know if you have any plans to sell this painting?" ”

Hearing this, Yi Hongguo hurriedly put the scroll back away, and said as he collected it: "I said that you don't want to beat my idea of this painting." This painting is not for sale, and I have been grinding it for a long time. The original owner agreed to transfer it to me. ”

"Can't be discussed?" Liu Sizhe asked.

"No need to talk!"

As soon as the words fell, Yi Hongguo hurriedly took the painting back to the back room. He knows Liu Sizhe's pestering energy, if he doesn't dispel Liu Sizhe's thoughts earlier, he will be troubled in the future.

Liu Sizhe shook his head and sighed: "Hey, it seems that Uncle Yi really doesn't plan to sell it!" ”

"What, you're really going to buy it?"

"yes!" Liu Sizhe nodded and said, "My parents are about to celebrate their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary, and I have to buy a gift for them." ”

"Oh! It's a fitting picture. Chu Chen nodded clearly, such a festive and colorful work is really suitable as a gift for a wedding anniversary.

"Lao Yi!"

As soon as Chu Chen's words fell, a middle-aged man rushed in from outside. This person has a big round face, and it looks quite normal on a single look, but when combined, it is quite joyful.

The middle-aged man walked in and found that Yi Hongguo was not there, and asked a little strangely, "Hey, isn't Lao Yi here?" ”

At this time, Yi Hongguo happened to come out of the back room, and when he saw the middle-aged man, he smiled and said, "I thought it was who." It turned out to be Lao Song, why did you have time to come over today? ”

"I'm going to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing! Come, how about you show me my pair of bracelets with blue flowers floating on the ice species? I just brought it back from southern Yunnan. As he spoke, the middle-aged man took out a box from his pocket. Put it on the table and open it.

Inside the box is a pair of bracelets, at first glance. It's indeed an ice species floating blue flower, and the water head is very good. It looks quite pleasant, but when Yi Hongguo just took the bracelet out of the box. I couldn't help frowning.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man hurriedly asked, "What, is there a problem with my bracelet?" ”

Yi Hongguo gently checked the bracelet, and then asked, "Old Song, how much did you pay for this pair of bracelets?" ”

"Eight hundred thousand! The price of this kind of jadeite should be okay, right? The middle-aged man replied.

"This kind of ice species floating blue flower, at the market price, of course you bought 800,000 yuan, but ......" Speaking of this, Yi Hongguo paused, put the bracelet back in the box, and said to Chu Chen: "Senior brother, you come to see this pair of bracelets." ”

Chu Chen nodded and took the bracelet in his hand, but the first feeling he had was that the bracelet was a little lighter, and after that, he took out a magnifying glass and took a closer look, and then put the bracelet back in the box.

"Senior brother, how are things?" Yi Hongguo asked.

Chu Chen said: "Senior brother, don't sell Guanzi, this pair of bracelets is indeed the same as you think." ”

"No, there's something wrong with this bracelet?" The middle-aged man said with a frown.

"Why, someone told you this thing is wrong?" Yi Hongguo asked.

"It's my sister-in-law, she said it doesn't seem to be jadeite, so I ran over to you and asked, is it really not jadeite?"

"Yes, it's not jade." Yi Hongguo said with certainty: "This bracelet should be made of a material called water foam. ”

"Foam? What is this? The middle-aged man said in surprise.

"Water foam is actually an associated mineral of jadeite." "Although it was generated at the same time and in the same place as jadeite, its value is very different, and the main reason for this is that the foam is a type of albite. ”

"What is albite?"

"Albite, you must not understand the technical terms, to put it bluntly, this thing is to make glass and ceramics and other raw materials."

"What!" The middle-aged man was stunned and said, "You mean to say that I bought a pair of glass bracelets for 800,000 yuan?" ”

"You can't say that." Yi Hongguo waved his hand and said, "After all, this is also made of ore, which is different from glass." ”

"How much is that worth?" Although he didn't have much hope, the middle-aged man still asked with some hope.

"A few dozen dollars." 800,000 turned into dozens of pieces in a blink of an eye, and when Yi Hongguo said it, he felt a little embarrassed.

The middle-aged man's mouth was wide open, and he couldn't hold back a word for a long time, and he didn't know what words to use to express his anger.

"MA's, a bunch of profiteers, I'm going to settle accounts with them!" The middle-aged man said angrily.

Yi Hongguo shook his head and said, "Old Song, save it, how do you settle accounts for this matter?" Since he dares to sell, he must be a little confident. ”

The middle-aged man blew his beard and glared and said, "Why can't you settle accounts, I have formal invoices and certificates!" ”

Chu Chen took out a certificate from the box, and after reading it, he said: "If you are talking about this certificate, then it will not be counted, it is not marked as jadeite, but as quartzite jade." ”

Yi Hongguo took the certificate from Chu Chen's hand, and after reading it, he said speechlessly: "I said Lao Song, haven't you read the certificate seriously?" If it's jadeite, how can you write quartzite jade, and the refractive index is 1.54 on it, if it's jadeite, it must be 1.66, you don't know? ”

"Huh?" The middle-aged man snatched the certificate from Yihongguo's hand, and after reading it, he scolded angrily: "CAO, what that person showed me at that time was not this certificate, he gave me the certificate off!" ”

Hearing that this was the case, Chu Chen and the others couldn't help but look at each other, Yi Hongguo patted the middle-aged man's shoulder, and comforted: "Old Song, forget it, anyway, you don't lack the 800,000 yuan, just eat a trench and increase wisdom, but next time you buy jadeite, you have to learn some basic skills." ”

The middle-aged man took a deep breath and said, "800,000 is really nothing, but I just can't swallow this breath, no, I have to find this field back!" ”

"Whatever you want, anyway, you should be careful, since this person dares to do this, maybe there are still some shili in the local area."

"Cut!" The middle-aged man said disapprerovingly: "I'm not stupid, how can I fiddle with that grandson with my own hands, by the way, you still tell me what is the difference between this water foam and jadeite!" ”

"Actually, the difference between this thing and jadeite is quite big." Yi Hongguo explained to him: "The specific gravity of water foam is between 2.57 and 2.64, and the specific gravity of jadeite is 3.32, so people who are a little familiar with jadeite will know that this thing is not jadeite as soon as they get started." Old Song, if you want me to say that you have also bought several pieces of jadeite, why can't you feel this at all? ”

The middle-aged man sneered: "I bought it for my wife and something, and I never studied this thing carefully." ”

"You guy, sooner or later you're going to die in a woman's belly." Yi Hongguo shook his head speechlessly, and then said: "We just said that there is a difference in the refractive index between the two, therefore, the jadeite looks like a glass luster, and the water foam is a waxy luster. ”

As he spoke, Yi Hongguo took out a jade Ruyi jade pendant full of ice and green from his pocket and put it next to the bracelet, and the difference in luster between the two could be seen with the naked eye.

After that, Yi Hongguo continued: "In addition, under the condition of light transmission, if we use a ten-fold magnifying glass to observe the internal structure of the two, we will find that the flesh of the ice species floating flower jadeite is delicate, and you can see tiny columnar or fiber-packed crystal particles, while the crystals of the water foam are granular, and the crystal particles are not arranged in an interwoven form. ”

"And the inside of the foam can see small white bubbles, in a parallel string of small bubbles arranged, the naked eye looks like the crystalline texture formed when the crystal crystallizes, but we can use a magnifying glass to observe that this is a small bubble-shaped void, normally, the void will be filled by impurities to form a small floating flower, the form is due to a small flower, filled in the void, this phenomenon has never been seen in jadeite."

"Zuihou, let's listen to the voice." Yi Hongguo picked up the jade pendant and the bracelet and knocked it gently, you can clearly hear the difference between the two sounds, the sound of the jade is crisp and pleasant, hard, hard, crisp, and the sound of the water foam is very dull.

Yi Hongguo put away the jade pendant and said with a smile: "How about it, I shouldn't be fooled again next time, right?" (To be continued......)
