"It's okay, I bought a pretty good wolf, by the way, why are you buying so many paintings and calligraphy, are these all good things?" Liu Sizhe was a little strange when he saw Chu Chen holding so many scrolls.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Of course not, three of them are the ones I asked the boss to ask for." ”

Liu Sizhe's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked in a low voice full of excitement: "Brother Chen, can't you ask for good things, right?" Show me! ”

"You're pretty clever." Chu Chen smiled: "It's not appropriate to look at it now, let's wait until we go back." ”

"Then what are you waiting for, let's go!" Liu Sizhe said impatiently.

Chu Chen said speechlessly: "What are you anxious about, it is still beneficial to Senior Brother!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm going to call him! ”

But before Liu Sizhe took out his mobile phone, Chu Chen said, "No need to call, senior brother has already come." ”

Yi Hongguo walked up to him, and seeing his overjoyed appearance, it was estimated that he had found something good, so Chu Chen asked with a smile: "Senior brother, have you gained any good things?" ”

"Hehe, it's kind of picking up a coral top pearl for nothing." Yi Hongguo smiled and took out a ruddy, round and full bead from his pocket.

At this time, Chu Chen was holding a lot of things in his hand, so he could only lean over and take a closer look, judging from the color of the pulp and some characteristics, this should indeed be a coral official hat bead.

The official hats of men in the Qing Dynasty are different from top hats and caps, and the top hats are commonly known as "big hats", with strict hierarchies, and the top beads of different grades of official hats, and the feather pipes. There is a difference between the feathers and branches.

According to Qing etiquette, a product is a ruby. The second grade is coral, and the third grade is sapphire. The fourth grade uses lapis lazuli, the fifth grade uses crystal stone, the sixth grade uses clams, the seventh grade is plain gold, the eighth grade uses yin pattern wisp gold, and the ninth grade uses yang pattern carved gold. Those who do not have top beads have no official qualities.

Therefore, this coral official hat bead should be used for the top hat of the second-grade official of the current dynasty, which is very rare.

"That's right. What is this in your hand? Yi Hongguo asked, pointing to the scroll in Chu Chen's hand.

"Good stuff." Chu Chen said with a smile: "Senior brother, do you have anything else, if it's okay, let's go back." As he spoke, he raised the scroll in his hand slightly.

Yi Hongguo immediately understood what he meant, waved his hand and said, "I'm fine, let's go......"

Sitting in the car, Liu Sizhe couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart, and asked, "Brother Chen, which famous calligraphy and painting are you?" ”

Chu Chen sold a pass and said, "Let's wait until we go back." Otherwise, the senior brother would have no heart to drive, and our lives would still be in his hands. ”

Yi Hongguo smiled when he heard this: "Don't you say that I'm more itchy!" ……”

The three of them laughed for a while, and Liu Sizhe asked, "Brother Chen, how did you smell the smell of that huanghuali just now?" Why didn't I smell it? ”

"Of course, the polished Huanghuali can't smell too much." Chu Chen explained: "And that thing should have been smoked with sulfuric acid and then washed with lime water, and under normal circumstances, it will definitely not smell the smell of wood." Before you smell it, you should scrape it slightly on the section. You can smell it. ”

"Oh, that's it!" Liu Sizhe said suddenly.

"Actually. In that case, you don't have to smell it. You can tell whether it is a real Hainan Huanghuali. ”

"Huh? Tell me about it! Liu Sizhe said eagerly.

Chu Chen smiled: "You should know that there is a unique texture produced at the knot of Huanghuali, which is called the "grimace" pattern, right? ”

"I know that." Liu Sizhe nodded.

Chu Chen continued: "This kind of grimace pattern can also be produced at the knots of other mahogany trees such as red acid branches, but their grimace lines appear messy and rough, far less charming and elegant than the grimace lines of Huanghuali. ”

"The method of identifying Hainan Huanghuali and Vietnamese Huanghuali is also very simple, that is, through grimace lines. In most cases, the grimace lines of Hainan Huanghuali are solid, so they appear more charming, while the grimace lines of Vietnamese Huanghuali are mostly hollow, and the gaze is not as divine as that of Haihuang. Think about it, isn't that so. ”

"This, I'm not familiar with Huanghuali!" Liu Sizhe scratched his head and said, "But that arm just now was indeed hollow." ”

Yi Hongguo, who was getting into the car, said happily: "Senior brother, when you say this, I remembered that the two kinds of huanghuali are indeed different in this regard. I really want to be a junior brother of Xiexie, let me learn another trick. ”

Chu Chen waved his hand and said: "Senior brother, you are really polite, but one thing to note is that not every Huanghuali artifact will have grimace lines, this is related to the parts of the material, etc., generally speaking, good things with grimace lines and multiple grimace lines will have a much higher market price than not." ”

In terms of color, the color of Huanghuali is based on yellow, but the vast majority of Vietnamese Huanghuali is relatively monotonous yellow, while Hainan Huanghuali will have some purple and brown in the yellow background. In addition, there are weight, smell, feel, etc., which can be easily distinguished by more contact. ”

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Liu Sizhe smiled and said: "Haha, it's really a gift from Brother Xiexie Chen, next time I encounter something from Huanghuali, I will count it......"

Ten minutes later, the three of them returned to the hotel, and under Liu Sizhe's impatient urging, Chu Chen carefully opened the painting slowly, and when the whole picture scroll was displayed in front of everyone, Liu Sizhe and Yi Hongguo were so shocked that they almost dropped their jaws.

After a long time, Liu Sizhe pointed to the painting and said incoherently: "Am I visionary?" This is...... Is this really Jing Hao's "Autumn Evening Picture of Chushan"? ”

"Is this still fake?"

At this time, Yi Hongguo also came back to his senses, pointed to the rows of seals and inscriptions next to him and said: "If you look at these, you should know that this can't be fake." ”

"Hehe, I just think it's incredible, this is Jing Hao's "Autumn Evening Picture of Chushan"!" Liu Sizhe's face was full of disbelief.

"I don't think it's incredible, it's not strange that my junior and younger brothers can get Wu Daozi's magical Hanhai map and Jing Hao's work." Yi Hongguo shook his head and smiled.

"Ahh Liu Sizhe grabbed Chu Chen's shoulder and shook it back and forth: "Why is your luck so good, just go to a ghost market, you can actually pick up such a shocking leak!" Is the stall owner blind? ”

"I don't know how a stall owner would put such a thing in a pile of garbage." Chu Chen smiled and took out the words he wanted to say before.

Chu Chen explained that when Liu Sizhe was bargaining in the ghost market just now, he felt bored, so he casually looked at the paintings on the stall next to him, but all that caught his eye were some inferior prints, but by chance, he saw that the material of this painting scroll was a little different, and after being curious, he opened it and looked at it, which was unbelievable, and as a result, this painting was bought back by him as a partner.

Liu Sizhe was surprised: "No, is it the painting you found when I told you just now that you were going to choose a brush?" ”

Chu Chen smiled: "That's it." ”

Liu Sizhe pulled his hair violently and roared: "Ah! Weishenme is so coincidental! Surely I brought you luck! No, Brother Chen, you have to give me some compensation, otherwise I will be unbalanced in my heart! ”

Although he knew that this was a joke made by Liu Sizhe, Chu Chen still said with a smile: "Then when it comes to the public plate, I will pick a good piece of material for you, how about it?" ”

"Long live Brother Chen!" Liu Sizhe cheered when he heard this: "But this makes me a little embarrassed!" ”

Chu Chen scolded with a smile: "You kid, don't be cheap and behaved." ”

At the same time, Yi Hongguo put on gloves, took out a magnifying glass, and looked at it carefully little by little, not letting go of every inch.

After about forty minutes, Yi Hongguo put down the magnifying glass in his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and sighed, "What a good thing!" No matter from the creative techniques of the work, the inscriptions of famous artists, the seals, the mounting, etc., I am sure that this is the real work of Jing Hao, the same as the one I saw in the Treasure Island Forbidden City. ”

"And this work, after more than a thousand years, although there is some damage, but the damage does not affect the integrity of the work, which is very rare, like this work, can be so completely preserved, it is rare, it can be called a national treasure-level cultural relics!"

"However, after all, this work is already somewhat damaged, and the most important thing now is to reframe it and repair the damaged places."

Chu Chen nodded and said: "I also think so, I will call the master in a while, such a precious thing, can only be relieved if I ask him to help." ”

"Hehe, I think the master must be very happy to do this." Yi Hongguo said with a smile.

Next, Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe took turns to come forward to appreciate it, and when the two of them finished reading, the sky was already bright. Although the three of them didn't sleep all night, they were all in very good spirits, and it was no wonder that it was normal to not feel sleepy when they encountered such a priceless treasure.

"Tuk Tuk! Xiao Chu, did you get up? ”

"Guan Lao! Why did you get up so early? Chu Chen opened the door and saw that it was Guan Guokang.

"Something happened!" Guan Guokang explained: "The owner of an object to be identified this time has to catch the plane at eight o'clock, so we have to go there early. By the way, why did you wake up so early, it couldn't be that you didn't sleep, right? ”

"Hehe, I slept for a while, and I went to the ghost market early this morning." Chu Chen said with a smile.

"So you went to the ghost market!" Guan Guokang sighed: "It's a pity that I'm old, otherwise I would have wanted to go shopping." By the way, looking at you like this, it won't be a good treasure, right? Can I appreciate it as well? ”

"Of course it's fine." Chu Chen smiled and invited Guan Guokang in.

Subsequently, when Guan Guokang saw that Chu Chen's harvest would actually be Jing Hao's "Autumn Evening Picture of Chu Mountain", the same expression immediately became exciting...... (To be continued......)
