Chapter 668: True and False (continued)
After saying goodbye to Ma Laocai's father and son, Chu Chen walked towards his car and said to Director Jin next to him: "Director Jin, where are you going, I'll give you a drop." ”
"No, no, I'll just go back myself." Director Jin said with some flattery.
"You're welcome, I'm on the way anyway!" Chu Chen invited with a smile.
Director Jin smiled and said, "I really don't need to, I want to eat at last year's director in the evening." ”
Hearing him say this, Chu Chen said, "Oh, that's okay, please help me to give a voice to the director of the year when the time comes." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ming Mazi was ready to leave: "Chu Shao, Director Jin, if it's okay, then I'll go back first." ”
"Okay, thank you today, I don't have anything good, you can take this pack of cigarettes and smoke it!"
Saying that, Chu Chen opened the car door and gave Ming Mazi a pack of cigarettes that he had never seen on the market at all, with a very ordinary and inconspicuous packaging, and took two more packs and handed them to Director Jin, and then said goodbye to the two.
After Chu Chen left, Ming Mazi looked at the pack of cigarettes in his hand with some curiosity, and a little brother behind him muttered: "It's still from the capital, and it's too stingy to ask someone to help but only give a pack of cigarettes!" ”
Director Jin said angrily when he heard this: "Fart, it was the atmosphere that gave you a pack of cigarettes, Ming Mazi, do you want it, don't I buy it for you for 3,000!" ”
The little brother just now was stunned when he heard this, and said, "What kind of cigarette actually costs three thousand, is it still extraordinary...... Isn't it, this ...... Isn't this really a special cigarette? ”
Hearing this, Ming Mazi's little brothers cheered and surrounded them. Vying to see the legendary special cigarettes, but looking at the very ordinary and inconspicuous packaging. Again, they were disappointed.
One of them said strangely: "I used to have a friend ask for a pack of this special cigarette, why does the packaging seem to be different?" ”
"Is it written on white skin?" Director Kim asked.
"yes!" The man nodded.
Director Jin scoffed, "That's a fake. How is it possible for a real special supply to circulate to the market, and there are so many? That kind of smoke will deceive you people who don't know how to do it. ”
"Director Jin, does that mean that the special cigarettes are like Chu Shao gave us?" Ming Mazi asked.
Director Jin shook his head: "I'm not qualified to smoke this kind of cigarette at all, and I don't know what it is." Needless to say, do you want this cigarette? ”
"You really bought it for 3,000?" Ming Mazi was also a little stunned when he heard this.
Director Jin said angrily: "Nonsense, can I still lie to you about this?" I tell you clearly, the status of the Chu Shao family in the capital is also one of the best. This kind of cigarette is something that the boss of our Yan Province can't smoke. ”
"Shhh
Ming Mazi and his subordinates all gasped, and after half a sound, Ming Mazi shook his head again and again:
"Director Jin, I'm sorry for you, I definitely want to treasure this kind of good cigarette."
Director Jin was speechless and said: "Cigarettes are just used to smoke, aren't you doing this a tyrannical thing!" ”
Ming Mazi smiled and said: "I'm just a flat-headed commoner, how can I have such an opportunity in the future?" ”
"Really not for sale?" Director Kim asked.
"Not for sale!" Ming Mazi still shook his head again and again.
Seeing this, Director Jin said helplessly: "Yes!" Whatever you want, if you want to transfer it later. Just sue me, but I don't want it if it's spoiled! ”
Ming Mazi smiled and said, "Okay, I won't forget you then!" ”

Chu Chen parked the car in front of Lin Dacheng's house, took the calligraphy and painting box and the brocade box with armor from the car and walked into the door. It's just that. To his surprise, Uncle Wu and Lin Dacheng, father and son, were sorting copper coins on the ground in the hall at this time, and it seemed that there were a lot of copper coins. There should be hundreds.
"Dad, where did you get so many copper coins?" Chu Chen asked with some curiosity.
"I'm going to play at your mom's friend's house today. I saw them at her house, and I bought them all. Uncle Wu raised his head and replied with a smile.
Chu Chen stepped forward. Bian casually asked, "What kind of money is it?" ”
Uncle Wu replied: "These are Zhaowu Tongbao. ”
Hearing this, Chu Chen hurriedly leaned forward as he spoke: "It's all rebellion money?" Is there a seal book version? ”
This "Zhaowu Tongbao" is a kind of coin minted during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, why is it called "rebel money"? It is because this coin was minted by Wu Sangui.
In that year, Wu Sangui Chu Zhenyun. Due to military, political and economic needs, a large amount of funds are urgently needed. For this reason, Wu Sangui once went to the imperial court to request to mint money on the spot, but did not get Kangxi's approval, but instead supplied the copper coins minted by Baoquan and Jiangning to southern Yunnan, but due to the long distance, it could not be supplied in time, and Yan zhòng affected the economic development of southern Yunnan.
Under such circumstances, Wu Sangui used the resources in his jurisdiction to privately mint copper coins. In the seventeenth year of Kangxi, Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing Dynasty in Heng. The state was called the emperor, changed the Yuan Zhaowu, and cast the "Zhaowu Tongbao" year money. This is where "rebel money" comes from.
After the Qing court pacified the three feudatories, although it twice ordered the confiscation of 'rebellion money', due to various factors, the "Zhaowu Tongbao" money was circulated until the end of the Qing Dynasty.
"Zhaowu Tongbao" is the old system of imitating the coins of the Ming Dynasty, and its layout has a small flat, fold five, fold ten types. There is a lot of money in Xiaoping Kaishu, generally barebacked, and "work" is more common, basically not worth any money, and now it is sold by catties. There are relatively few small flat seal books, fold five, fold ten types of coins are big money in seal script, back "one point", and the seal text is clumsy.
In fact, in terms of market value, the value of the seal book "Zhaowu Tongbao" is only between 100 and 200, and this money is nothing to Chu Chen, but the collection of antiques is to play with culture, if it is just to keep up with the money, then Chu Chen might as well only do the jade business, so that the money will come faster.
Uncle Wu replied with a smile: "Now there are more than 20 small flat seal books, and there are more than 20 folds of five and ten. ”
"Not bad!"
Chu Chen saw that there was still a third of the ground that had not been sorted out, so there should be a lot more to sort out, so he put the calligraphy and painting box aside and helped to sort it out.
The four of them started at a very fast speed, but Chu Chen came back relatively late, and when they sorted all the copper coins, it was time for dinner.
The four of them walked to the bathroom to wash their hands together, and Uncle Wu asked Chu Chen with a smile: "I saw you holding the box just now, it should be all good things, right?" ”
Chu Chen smiled and said: "It is indeed a good thing, one of them, you must not think of it!" ”
Seeing Chu Chen say this, Uncle Wu felt that the thing must be extraordinary, and immediately said with great interest: "Oh! After that dinner, I'm going to enjoy it! ”
"Row ......"
After cleaning up the table, Chu Chen took the two boxes, and Uncle Wu was already a little impatient at this time.
He waved his hand and said, "Xiao Chen, don't sell it, take out the good things first." ”
Seeing Uncle Wu's somewhat anxious appearance, Chu Chen smiled secretly, and then took out the "Luo Shen Fu" from the calligraphy and painting box.
Uncle Wu first carefully observed the appearance of the scroll, and then sighed lightly: "Huh! It's a hand roll! It looks like it should be the framing style of the early Qing Dynasty, and it is also a master-level framing craft! ”
Qing Dynasty calligraphy and painting mounting had its own characteristics in the pre-Qing period, the middle period and the late Qing Dynasty. The mounting form of the handscroll continues to follow the imitation Xuanhe edge type, the silk edge type, the silk inlaid paper edge type, and the silk or silk inlay edge type. The silk turn-edge style is mostly used for handscrolls of different sizes or short at the beginning of the introduction, the heart and the tail.
Its staging characteristics are also the most obvious, in the early and middle Qing Dynasty, the silk turning edge is wider, about 2.5-3 cm, and it becomes narrower in the late Qing Dynasty. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty and the late Qing Dynasty, there was also a distinction between the width and narrowness of the side, but there was little difference.
The hand curl tail paper in the early and middle stages of the Qing Dynasty is shorter and the roll type is thinner; In the late Qing Dynasty, the tail paper was lengthened, and the roll type was significantly thicker than that in the early and middle Qing Dynasty. This is one of the characteristics of mounted handscrolls in the Qing Dynasty.
The Qing Dynasty hand-rolled bag head is generally made of brocade, and the head of the sky and the water are separated by silk. The cotton silk used in the early and middle Qing Dynasty is tight, the pattern is relatively clear, and most of them are cloud crane patterns. In addition to the cloud crane, the late Qing flower silk also appeared with the ornament of the phoenix, but the texture was loose and the pattern was relatively blurred.
In the Qing Dynasty, Gusu and Huaiyang were famous all over the country, among which Huaiyang was good at imitating antique pools and unveiling ancient paintings.
Although Uncle Wu is not good at painting and calligraphy identification, he used to work in the museum, so he has a wide range of knowledge, and at a glance he knows that this should be the work of the Huaiyang framing master of the Qing Dynasty.
Seeing that it was actually the work of the early Qing Dynasty Huaiyang framing master, Uncle Wu felt a little strange and asked:
"Xiao Chen, do you mean to pick up this handscroll?"
Chu Chen smiled and said, "I spent 450,000 yuan on this handscroll, and in terms of the value of things, it is indeed a big leak." ”
It is not uncommon for something to have such a superb framing of 450,000 yuan, but under normal circumstances, if it is not a particularly outstanding work, it is impossible to use such a frame, but in this case, even if the value of the thing is less than 450,000, the difference should not be big, and it is definitely not a big leak.
This made Uncle Wu strange, so he thought of a possibility: "Xiaochen, is this another 'picture in a picture'?" ”
Chu Chen said with a smile: "Dad, it's not what you think, you better take a look first, otherwise you won't be able to figure out what's going on." ”
"Okay, then I'll take a look at ...... first"
Because he couldn't put it on the table, Uncle Wu also watched it little by little, but he just looked at the beginning, and he couldn't help but be stunned, and after half a sound, he opened his mouth and asked Chu Chen: "Xiaochen, do you mean that this is really "Luo Shen Fu" written by Zhao Mengfu himself?" ”
Chu Chen spread his hands and said with a smile: "I think it should be a genuine handiwork, what is it, you should take a look first." ”
Uncle Wu nodded, and hurriedly picked up the magnifying glass and stepped forward to take a closer look...... (To be continued......)
