Chapter 832: Be careful
Chu Chen smiled and said: "It's really nothing, but it also depends on what it is, I'm just afraid of trouble, in case the bronze that your friend took out is a heavy weapon, then it's really inconvenient for me to take over." And if you say that the Ming Wanli colorful cloud dragon pattern cover box is also a pit, it is also a troublesome thing. β
Seeing Chu Chen say this, Ma Xiaoqiang hurriedly said: "Chu Shao, you are a big man from the capital, even if it is a pit, for you, it is not a matter of words!" β
Chu Chen shook his head when he heard this: "That's what I said, but this requires me to make connections." β
Ma Xiaoqiang smiled and said: "Otherwise, I'll ask my friend to give you some discounts, what do you think?" β
Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Then this matter will trouble you!" β
"No hassle. No hassle! That's exactly what I'm supposed to do! β
Ma Xiaoqiang nodded on the surface, but said disdainfully in his heart: "I don't want to get some money!" No wonder some people always say that rich people are iron roosters, and today it seems that this is indeed the case! β
According to Ma Xiaoqiang's guidance, Hu Yong took a car to a hotel, but the location of the hotel made Chu Chen and Hu Yong speechless, because this was the opposite of the location where Ma Xiaoqiang was picked up just now. They had just run a big lap in vain. And the motive for doing this was nothing more than to see if Chu Chen was following someone.
Chu Chen said with a displeased face: "I said Mr. Ma, you are a little unkind!" It doesn't cost much money, but it's not a waste of my time! β
Ma Xiaoqiang hurriedly smiled and said, "Chu Shao, this is all explained by my friend." I didn't mean to do this, and my friend also told me before, because of the inconvenience caused to Chu Shao. He decided to reduce the price by half on the basis of the final agreement, and I hope you will take care of it! β
"Humph! Let's go! Chu Chen snorted coldly, as long as the other party didn't treat him as a wronged person, plus the things were good, he really didn't care too much about the price, but from this matter. He felt that Ma Xiaoqiang's friend was too careful, and for such a careful tomb robber, he undoubtedly had to have a few more eyes.
Got out of the car. Chu Chen first went to the service desk to open a room, and during this period, he also hinted to Hu Yong to be careful, and Hu Yong also nodded slightly. Understood.
The three entered the room. After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Ma Xiaoqiang hurriedly went to open the door, and after a while, he saw a man in his thirties, carrying a large travel bag, walking in with Ma Xiaoqiang.
This man looks Sven and wears a pair of eyes, if in normal times. Chu Chen would only think that he was a high-level intellectual at most, but the fierce look that flashed from the man's eyes from time to time. still made Chu Chen feel that this person should not be simple.
The man put the bag on the side of the sofa where Chu Chen was sitting, and then shook Chu Chen's hand with a smile: "Presumably this is Chu Shao, it is really the dragon and phoenix among people!" β
Chu Chen replied politely: "Awards, awards!" I don't know what your surname is, sir? β
The man smiled: "My surname is Ma, and I am still a distant relative of Xiaoqiang, Chu Shao, you just call me Lao Ma......"
After a few words of greeting, the two sides got to the point, Chu Chen said with a smile: "Old Ma, I don't know what treasure you have come over today, can you let me appreciate it?" β
"What kind of treasure is not baby, it's just some gadgets, I hope Chu Shao will not be disappointed!"
The old horse laughed, then brought the bag over, and put the contents on the coffee table one by one.
There were not many things in the bag, there were only five items in total, two of which were porcelain, two were stationery, and one was bronze.
"Please!" The old horse made a gesture.
"Then you're welcome......"
Chu Chen smiled and nodded, and then looked at the five artifacts in front of him from left to right, but the result made him very disappointed, although these five things are quite similar, to outsiders, they are completely fake and real, but with his eyesight, he can see the authenticity of things at a glance, and one of them made him almost laugh.
Putting the last bronze back in its place, Chu Chen said with a calm face: "Old Ma, you are really a little unkind!" Or are you using me as a mallet? β
Lao Ma was slightly stunned, and then said with a wronged face: "Chu Shao, what you said, how could I treat you as a mallet?" β
This old horse's acting skills are also quite superb, if you look at his expression, if you don't know, you think Chu Chen has wronged him.
However, Chu Chen is also an old man, he smiled and said: "Old Ma, Ming people don't say secret words, if only one or two of these are wrong, then I won't say anything, but now five are wrong, I want to ask you, what's going on!" β
"How is this possible!"
Lao Ma was shocked when he heard what Chu Chen said, and then hurriedly looked at all the things on the coffee table, then picked up a strong jar and said to Chu Chen: "Let's just say that this strong jar is so exquisitely made, how can it be wrong!" β
The strong jar lips in the hands of the old horse, short neck, narrow shoulders, straight abdomen slightly retracted, circle feet. This jar is called "strong jar" because the bottom of the mouth is quite high, and the top and bottom are thick.
This jar is glazed and moistened, the glaze color is white and flashing green, the whole body is full of seven layers of ornamentation such as Ruyi cloud head pattern, curly grass pattern, sea water pattern, etc., and the theme of the abdomen is decorated with a tangled branch lotus pattern, the layout is dense and full and staggered, from this point of view, it seems to be on par with the real thing.
And the surface of this jar also looks like there are traces of "rust spots", but it is not obvious, and these "rust spots" are not natural, Chu Chen knows at a glance that these "rust spots" are all artificial, which is a reason for Chu Chen to judge that this strong pot is a fake.
Moreover, there is another fatal flaw in this strong pot, and this flaw is the culprit who almost laughed out loud just now.
Chu Chen smiled and said, "Old Ma, since you said that this thing is genuine, then let me ask you a question, what is the knowledge of this strong jar?" β
Lao Ma turned the jar over and read: "Ming Chengzu Zhu Shidi Emperor Emperor's palace royal Ming Yongle eight years Geng Yinqiu, this should be no problem, right?" β
Seeing Lao Ma looking at him a little inexplicably, Chu Chen didn't know whether he was asking knowingly, or if he really didn't understand, but judging from Ma Xiaoqiang's unbearable expression next to him, maybe Lao Ma really didn't know much about it.
So, Chu Chen explained: "This, old horse, Ming Chengzu This is the temple number, and the emperor is dead, how can it appear in the eighth year of Yongle?" β
Lao Ma listened to Chu Chen's explanation, and was stunned for a moment, he really didn't know much about it, but as soon as Chu Chen said this, he also reacted, who would write the name of his death on the things he used? That's something that only a fool would do, right?
But when he came back to his senses and saw Ma Xiaoqiang, who almost laughed out loud, he felt that he had lost face and was a little unhappy, so he glared at Ma Xiaoqiang fiercely and argued: "This is not necessarily, maybe this temple number was prepared by the emperor before his death?" β
Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Old Ma, what you said is impossible. Because, in fact, the temple name after Zhu Di's death was Ming Taizong, and it was not until more than a hundred years later, when Emperor Jiajing was in power, that Zhu Di's temple name was changed to Ming Chengzu. Later generations used to call Chengzu Zhu Di, but people at that time would never call him that. β
Hearing this, if Lao Ma wants to quibble again, it will be a strong argument, he is quite single, he directly put the jar back in the bag, pointed to the other four things, and asked: "Chu Shao, then these four things, how can you say that they are wrong?" β
Chu Chen smiled slightly: "Let's talk about this inkstone first......"
The inkstone box, also known as the inkstone box, is used to place the inkstone. It is better to be purple, ebony, watercress and lacquered. However, the inkstone box brought by Lao Ma uses the process of copper tire cloisonnΓ© enamel.
This inkstone box looks magnificent, the copper tire is regular, the color is pure, and the gold is brilliant, but if you look closely, the details of the system are really rough, such a thing, but also according to the name of Qianlong, if it is placed in front of Qianlong, it is estimated that the craftsman will not know how to die.
Next, Chu Chen pointed out the flaws of the other three things to Lao Ma one by one: "Lao Ma, five things, all of them are fake, do you say that you are too unkind?" β
Lao Ma smiled at Chu Chen and said, "Chu Shao, this matter is indeed my fault, but the wind is tight during this time, if you are not careful and are caught, it will be over." My brothers are also old and young, and if it weren't for the difficulties in life, they wouldn't be able to do this business, and if there is an accident because of my negligence, I won't have the face to see their families, so please bear with me......."
Speaking of this, he added another sentence: "Chu Shao, don't worry, I will definitely satisfy you with the next things, if you return empty-handed in the end, then I will repay you ten times the loss of your trip for nothing today!" β
"Since you've said so, old horse, I'll wait and see......"
Seeing that Chu Chen was no longer pursuing it for the time being, Lao Ma hurriedly took out his mobile phone and made a call, and after a while, someone knocked on the door again, after Ma Xiaoqiang went to open the door, he saw a man who was also in his thirties, five big and three thick, carrying a bag like Lao Cai, and walked in.
The man didn't say any nonsense when he came in, and took out the contents of the bag one by one.
The first piece is what Ma Xiaoqiang said before, the colorful cloud dragon pattern cover box, this box is square, and the corner is retracted inward, and the locals in Jingdezhen call it "Wajiao". The mouth of the child and the mother, the upper and lower joints are tight. The enamel of the box is as white as jade, and the tire system is fine.
The whole body of this box is decorated with five colors, and the top of the lid box is painted with a double dragon play bead pattern, decorated with different shapes of moire; The shoulder of the box is painted with dragon patterns of different shapes. The box is set with ancient colors, neat and neat pictures, rich colors, dense ornamental layout, and is a typical decoration of "Ming Color". (To be continued......)
