But in fact, Jia Yuqiang's family does not have such conditions at all, Yu Renpeng estimates that his family's savings are not even five million, plus there is money to deal with, so it is normal to be cautious when buying a pair of antiques of nearly 600,000 yuan.

However, everyone saw Jia Yuqiang's unrepentant appearance, obviously even if they analyzed such a truth to him, it is estimated that he would not be able to listen to it.

Jia Yuqiang said again: "Besides, later I disposed of some collections and bought the pair of porcelain, and everyone who has seen it says yes, doesn't this prove my vision?" However, just because I paid a few days late, the price of the things was tens of thousands of dollars, and who is responsible for this loss? ”

Yu Renpeng was a little surprised when he heard this, and said, "Why don't I know about this? ”

Jia Yuqiang smiled and said: "I called you last time, but you said that the museum was very busy and pushed it off, as for those collections, they were taken by a friend of mine alone, and I want to inform you that I don't have a chance......"

Yu Renpeng recalled for a moment, as if there was indeed such a thing, and then listened to Jia Yuqiang say: "However, I also brought that pair of porcelain today, you can see if this is a pair of rare fine ceramics." ”

So saying, he opened the suitcase, took out a brocade box from it, put it on the table, and opened it.

Inside the box is a pair of blue and white seawater dragon pattern case jars, and Chu Chen is also familiar with the shape and pattern characteristics of this pair of blue and white case jars.

Like this cylinder shape was created in the Yongzheng period, popular in the three dynasties of Qianjiadao, and was made to imitate the dragon cylinder of Jiajing official kiln. In June of the third year of Qianlong, the Qianlong Emperor instructed the Ministry of Internal Affairs to hand over a batch of porcelain for Tang Ying to copy, including five pieces of blue and white porcelain from the Jiajing official kiln, and the original copies of this pair of case jars were also among them.

According to the relevant document of the Office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs during the Qianlong period: "June 25: Samuha, the leader of the seven products. urged the chief Bai Shixiu to come to the eunuch Gao Yujiao...... A ...... of the Qinglong small vat of Jiayao was handed over to Tang Ying at the firing porcelain office, and it was also fired and sent. When the firing is completed, the original porcelain will be handed back, and it will still be handed over to the porcelain warehouse. There are large vessels in this porcelain that should be brought with them, and small porcelain vessels are brought with them. Chin this. ”

It can be seen from this. This type of blue and white seawater dragon pattern jar has been copied three years after Qianlong.

This pair of cylinder lips, bulging abdomen, shins, flat bottom concave, white glaze on the outer half of the foot and the center of the foot, and a circle of astringent tire on the inner half of the foot. It forms a jade wall-shaped foot. The device type is circumferential. The inner wall of the cylinder is white glazed and the light element is without lines, and the outer wall is painted with cloud dragon sea water patterns, a dragon is chasing each other, a dragon looks back at each other, and the form is fierce. The hair is erect, and the painting method is a typical imitation of the early Ming Dynasty dragon style.

The carcass of the case cylinder is solid, the glaze is pure, the blue and white are heavy, and the writing is rigorous and upright. Placed on the case, it can be described as a high-grade scholar's boutique.

But then again, such a case tank is generally one, how can it appear in pairs? Of course. If you want to say that it is not impossible to collect it deliberately, but the price of 600,000 is undoubtedly too cheap. changed Chu Chen, even if the other party sold seven or eight hundred thousand. He will also buy it, and he believes that there should be many people who have this kind of idea like him.

So, the question is, if the seller is really selling so cheaply, why can it be Jia Yuqiang's turn to be a few days late?

With such doubts. Chu Chen carefully observed the pair of case jars, and after a while. He nodded to himself.

Putting things back in place, Chu Chen asked, "Mr. Jia." I take the liberty of asking, I don't know how much money you spent on this pair of cases? ”

"Before, it was 580,000, but then it was sold for 650,000, which cost 70,000 more." When the price was mentioned, Jia Yuqiang was still a little angry, if he had bought it earlier, why did he have to spend an extra 70,000 yuan, how many electrical appliances would he have to sell to earn it back?

At this time, Yu Renpeng also appraised the pair of case jars, and when he heard the price of the case jars, he frowned, and also had Chu Chen's doubts just now, and said: "Lao Jia, when you didn't have enough money at that time, did you tell the seller to let him stay for a while?" ”

Jia Yuqiang shook his head: "I didn't have the face to stay there at that time, how could I be embarrassed to say that he should leave things for a while." ”

"In that case, then I have a question." Yu Renpeng said: "I don't believe that no one is interested in this pair of case jars except you, since this pair of case jars is so cheap, why should I leave it to you?" Or is it that only you know the news of this pair of cases? ”

"Uh......" Jia Yuqiang heard this, and also realized the problem, there is no reason to say, the seller sells cheaply but no one comes to buy it, unless there is a reason, it is a problem with the thing. This made him nervous, he couldn't help but be wrong.

Thinking of this, Jia Yuqiang looked at Yu Renpeng and Chu Chen nervously, and asked, "No, is there really a problem with this case?" ”

Yu Renpeng said: "Senior brother, you are an authority in this regard, or do you say it." ”

"There is really a problem with this case tank...... Chu Chen looked down on Jia Yuqiang's actions, so he didn't say anything euphemistic, and directly pointed out the results and the problem of the case tank.

It is worth mentioning that this pair of case tanks can basically be determined to be Cai Jianxuan's work, but the treatment of the slurry is not the slurry used, but another method that Chu Chen has not seen before, which may be the relationship between the real yàn products, for some experienced experts, as long as they observe carefully, they can still be identified. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Jia Yuqiang finally let Jia Yuqiang take over the plate.

In addition, it can be seen from the falsification method of the slurry that Cai Jianxuan probably realized that Chu Chen and the others had a way to identify the slurry, so he was ready to improve the falsification method, which shows his sense of worry.

Jia Yuqiang obviously couldn't accept this reality, and looked very shocked: "Isn't it...... How so...... This is certainly not true! ”

Yu Renpeng was also very angry at his friend's obsession: "Lao Jia, my junior brother has already said it in such detail, how much do you think this pair of case jars is still genuine?" It's time for you to sober up and think about whether what you've done during this time is right! ”

Jia Yuqiang was silent for a moment and said, "If I am wrong, then I have nothing to say, but I can show it to a few friends." They all say that things are good, how can this be explained? ”

Yu Renpeng asked, "Who are the friends you are talking about?" ”

Jia Yuqiang said the names of several friends, these people Yu Renqiang happened to know, he sneered:

"I see you're dizzy, who are these people? A collection of strange stones, a main collection of Buddha statues, and the other two are simply half-hanging, you actually compare such people with professionals, do you think you can be a little more reliable?! ”

"No, he's not going to lie to me. I used to patronize his business, you see these seals, they were all bought from him, they are all high-quality products! ”

But Jia Yuqiang seemed to be stunned, and said that things were right. As he spoke, he took out a few more small boxes from the suitcase, which contained several seals made of materials that looked like Tian Huang and bloodstone.

Yu Renpeng frowned and said: "Lao Jia, you have to face the reality, as long as you live a good life in the future, the money you lose will be earned back sooner or later." ”

"You...... Ay! You don't understand! ”

Hearing these words, Jia Yuqiang finally stopped hysterical, and he let out a long sigh. said: "Old Yu, I'll talk about this later, you can take a look at these things." If you like, I can give it to you cheaper. ”

With that, he took out the other things in the box one by one and put them on the table.

Jia Yuqiang's somewhat stubborn attitude made Yu Renpeng have nothing to think about, so he could only identify things first.

Chu Chen picked up a Tianbai seal, and this seal was judging from the inscription and the side paragraph. It should have been made by Huang Shiling.

Huang Shiling carved is a highly accomplished calligraphy and painting seal carver in the late Qing Dynasty, in the history of modern seal carving. The creative achievements of Huang Shiling's seal carving and its influence on later generations can be compared with Wu Changshuo.

Huang Shiling's seal carving is heavy and vigorous, with special emphasis on showmanship, subtlety, depth, humor and intriguing. Knife technique. He is clumsy, returns to the basics, and seeks sharpness in the smoothness of the knife; The law of the seal is taken from the golden text and is issued with a very plain and tranquil atmosphere; The rules of the chapter are intended for the organic cutting of the printing space.

But the seal in Chu Chen's hand, although it is similar to Huang Shiling in terms of knife technique, is far from the artistic conception, which makes Chu Chen speechless, is there a problem with the first-party seal? This Jia Yuqiang's luck is too bad, right?

Chu Chen thought so, and carefully observed the material of the seal, and found that the problem was not small.

Seeing Chu Chen frowning slightly, Jia Yuqiang's heart began to tremble, and he asked in fear:

"Curator Chu, is there a problem with this seal? Didn't you say that there were no imitations of Huang Shiling's seal? ”

Chu Chen was a little speechless when he heard this, and said: "In the past in the northern market, there were more imitations of modern seal carvings, such as Zhao Zhiqian, Wu Changshuo, and Qi Baishi, and fewer of Wu Rangzhi and Huang Shiling. It has to do with what people know about them and how much they see their work. For example, Huang Shiling, some people in Beijing did not know him in the past, and his seal was once not valued, and of course there were many fewer imitations. ”

"But few imitations do not mean that there are none, and we must not choose seals with this concept, especially now that communication is so developed, for collectors who collect seals, who will not know Huang Shiling? In this case, of course, there are more imitations. ”

"However, this seal of yours, I think the age of zuò should be in the Republic of China, and in addition, the material of the seal should be forged from Baishou Mountain."

Then, Chu Chen explained the characteristics of the material.

Jia Yuqiang was stunned and said, "No! Will the Republic of China forge such a realistic Tian Huang? ”

"How fresh it is!"

After everyone heard this, they all couldn't laugh or cry, not to mention the Republic of China, Baishou Mountain Stone imitated Tian Bai, but the Qing Dynasty would have it.

At that time, people put ordinary Huangshoushan and Baishoushan in dried apricot water and boiled for about 24 hours before taking them out, and when the heat has not subsided, they are baked close to the fire, and after reaching the corresponding temperature, they are rubbed with Garcinia cambogia. In this way, it is often rubbed and baked until the yellow color penetrates into the inside of the stone, and then rubbed with bleaching powder, and it becomes a fake field white.

Chen Keshu of the Qing Dynasty mentioned this method of forgery in the "Seal Carving Needle": "It is very difficult for those who want to get the old property today, and what comes out of the recent time is the new stone of hibiscus, and the residents take this as their business, make new and boiled colors, and fake old stones to sell, until there are fake stones from other mountains to confuse the real ones."

This kind of knowledge is easy to find, Jia Yuqiang actually didn't know three questions, and such an attitude also led everyone to be not very optimistic about the rest of the seals. Sure enough, in the end, it was identified that there were a total of six seals, and five of them were fakes.

For such a result, Jia Yuqiang wants to cry without tears, and Yu Renpeng no longer knows what to say to Jia Yuqiang's eyesight, even if there is no such thing, it is estimated that his monthly pocket money will be lost.

However, after the identification of several seals, Chu Chen made a discovery, in addition to the imitation seal of the Republic of China just now, the other four imitation seals were actually very similar to the fake seals purchased by He Lihang in Haojing, and they were very similar in terms of knives and other aspects, and it was basically easy to find similar features.

In addition, in addition, the pair of case jars just now was also made by Cai Jianxuan. It is highly likely, then, that the imitators of the fake prints are from the same group...... (To be continued)
