Chapter 35 True and False Xuande Furnace
In the antique city of Chaotian Palace, at the last stall, when the stall owner was thinking about how much money he could make by selling this Xuande furnace, Ye Chen squatted down and picked up the Xuande furnace and checked it again.
I once again recalled the introduction of the Xuande furnace, the most wonderful thing about the Xuande furnace is the color, its color melts inside, and it shines from the gloom. There are more than 40 kinds of colors recorded in historical records, which are loved by the world, and there are many names for their colors. For example, the purple belt with blue and black like eggplant skin is called eggplant color; The black and yellow like the Tibetan scripture paper is called the Tibetan scripture color; black and white with red and yellowish yellow, called brown; If the soil of the old jade is colored, it is called the soil antique; The white and yellow with red and red colors like Tang pears are called Tang pear colors, and there are yellow-red grounds, covered with colorful spots, called imitation Song burnt spots; The spots that are more bright red than the pearl sand are called vermilion spots; Light pork liver, jujube red, amber, tea powder, crab shell green, etc...... Xiang Yuanbian (Zijing), a great connoisseur, collector and painter during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, said: "The wonder of the Xuan furnace is pearlescent in the treasure color, and it is surging on the outside. ”
While thinking about the introduction of the Xuande furnace, he used the perspective eye to compare with each other, glowing with a strange light in the gloom, this is right, but Ye Chen didn't see the other colors, eight hundred yuan is okay, Ye Chen decided to gamble, this Xuande furnace hidden in the patina makes Ye Chen have a different feeling, even if it is a loss, it will be eight hundred yuan, but if it is true, then himself. Ye Chen didn't dare to imagine.
took out the wallet and Ye Chen was about to buy it, but Xiao Mo on the side hurriedly stopped: "Brother Ye, I don't like this thing, let's go to other places to have a look." ”
If you buy something in the antique city, even if you know that the thing is fake but can't say it, you can say that it doesn't look good, stinky or licensed, etc.
Xiao Mo said this in fact, he asked Ye Chen not to buy this is a fake, of course Ye Chen also heard the meaning of Xiao Mo's words, but Ye Chen's perspective eyes saw something else, which is why Ye Chen decided to gamble.
The stall owner's face turned a little dark when he heard Xiaomo's words, but they didn't say anything out of the ordinary, they were talking jargon, it seems that this little girl knows antiques very well, and this business is afraid that it will be yellow.
To the surprise of the stall owner and Xiao Mo, Ye Chen took out eight hundred yuan from his wallet as if he hadn't heard it, handed it to the stall owner and said, "I want this thing, you can wrap it." ”
Xiao Mo on the side was anxious and wanted to pull Ye Chen away, "Brother Ye, let's not buy it, let's go shopping elsewhere." ”
Ye Chen smiled: "Xiaomo, I'm just playing, eight hundred yuan is not expensive, maybe it's real." ”
Xiaomo was a little angry that Ye Chen didn't listen to her, but Ye Chen insisted on doing so, she had no choice but to stand there sulking.
The stall owner happily wrapped the things and handed them to Ye Chen, and shouted at Ye Chen: "Come back next time, I have a lot of good things." ”
Ye Chen didn't take care of the stall owner, so he pulled Xiaomo and walked out.
Xiao Mo didn't want to pay attention to Ye Chen, walking in front alone, looking at Xiao Mo like that, Ye Chen was a little funny.
After waiting for Che Yechen to put the things away, he said to Xiao Mo, who was still angry on the side: "Don't be angry, I'm just playing, but I don't think this thing is simple, maybe it's true, wait until the auction house to show Li Lao, even if it's fake, I'll buy a lesson." ”
"But, but I told you that it was fake, and you still bought it, and you didn't believe me at all." Xiao Mo gambled on the airway.
"Okay, don't be angry, I know you're doing it for my good, I'm just going to buy a fun, how about I invite you to dinner after work?" Ye Chen was a little funny about Xiao Mo's temper.
"Forget it, what can I do if I buy everything, and besides, it doesn't cost me money, but you say that you can't lie to people when you invite me to dinner at night." Hearing what Ye Chen said, Xiao Mo's face finally eased a little.
In the old office of the auction baggage, Ye Chen stood beside Li Lao holding the Xuande furnace he had just bought.
"Master, I went to visit Chaotian Palace Antique City today, and I bought something for you to palm?" As he spoke, Ye Chen opened the wrapped Xuande furnace and put it on Li Guang's desk.
"Hey, isn't this the Xuande furnace? But this is too stinky, isn't it, didn't the book I gave you introduce how to identify bronze and other things, don't you look at it well? Li Guang said a little angrily.
"Master, do you have an alcohol lamp or something like that?" Ye Chen thought of a way to ask Li Laodao.
"Alcohol lamp? I have a kerosene stove here, why do you want an alcohol lamp. Li Guang said a little strangely.
"The kerosene stove is fine, you can borrow it from me first, and you'll know in a while." Ye Chen said mysteriously.
Li Guang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Ye Chen's gourd, so he took out a kerosene stove from the back cabinet, Ye Chen also found an iron shelf on the side, took Li Lao's kerosene lamp, Ye Chen put the Xuande stove on the shelf, and lit the kerosene stove.
At first, Li Lao didn't see anything, and he was still wondering what was the use of Ye Chen burning this stove, could it be that burning could make a Xuande furnace, then this Xuande furnace was too fake.
Li Lao knows that there are only a few Xuande furnaces in the world, each of which is a rare treasure, and some are collected in the museum, which is the treasure of the town.
Due to the small quantity and high price in the world, there are many fakes, like Ye Chen, you can see at a glance that it is fake, the workmanship is too rough, even the layman can see it, how could this Ye Chen buy such a thing and let himself see it, it really disappoints me.
After about five minutes, as the kerosene stove heated, the temperature of the Xuande furnace became higher and higher, and the bottom also turned vermilion, followed by a crackling sound.
Hearing this sound, Ye Chen's heart was excited, it seemed that what he saw with his perspective eyes was indeed right, this Xuande furnace was wrapped by someone with something, and the temperature of his own burning was too high, and the wrapped thing was cracked.
Li Lao also heard this sound, and with a soft sigh in his mouth, he helped his eyes and squatted down to observe it closely.
After a while, the entire Xuande furnace turned vermilion, Ye Chen turned off the kerosene stove, picked up a glass of water on the table and poured it on the Xuande furnace, only to see a burst of white eyes bubbling up, and then heard a snapping sound, and the Xuande furnace fell from the shelf to the ground.
However, this Xuande furnace is not the one covered with patina just now, and the Xuande furnace in Li Lao's eyes glows with a dull golden luster, and the surface is no longer potholed but smooth and delicate.
Ye Chen took a piece of linen cloth and carefully picked up the Xuande furnace and put it on Li Lao's desk, Li Lao hurriedly picked up a magnifying glass to check the Xuande furnace that still had residual temperature, the more he looked at Li Lao, the more he was shocked, and the more he looked at Li Lao, the more surprised he was.
When Li Lao put down the magnifying glass, he sighed and said: "I also have a time when I lose my eyes, the future life is terrifying, Ye Chen, you have picked up a big leak." ”
Ye Chen smiled and said: "I'm just a game ticket, eight hundred yuan is not much, even if it's not, I don't have anything, just buy this lesson." ”
"Don't be sloppy with me, tell me how you can see it, don't tell you that you are blinded, if anyone can be blinded to the sky and return the gold." Li Lao didn't have a good airway.
"Master, don't be angry, didn't I mean to say it, at first I also thought this thing was fake, but I felt different when I touched it with my hands, just like the last time you touched the ancient jade for me, I felt real when I touched it, and I couldn't say it if you asked me to tell the reason, this is all an intuition." Ye Chen pushed all his hands, he didn't dare to say that he had a clairway eye to see the scene inside.
"You touched it with your hands? This is really your creation, even the Xuande furnace can be bought. Li Lao sighed again and again.
"Tell me, do you plan to keep this thing for yourself or are you going to go to the spring auction?" Elder Li asked.
Ye Chen thought for a while and said: "I think it's better to auction last spring, I haven't reached your level yet, and I don't have a place to put it, even now I'm still renting a house to live in, it's better to auction it off, at least I can buy a house." ”
Li Guang nodded, "It's okay, this thing can definitely be used as the last finale, let me put it first, I have a safe to help you save it, don't say it for the time being, so as not to have bad intentions, and when you print the brochure, add this Xuande furnace, and then it will be foolproof." ”
"It's all up to you, if it's okay, I'll get busy first." Ye Chenle said.
"You kid, go ahead." Li Lao scolded with a smile.
Coming out of Mr. Li's office, Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time he was very excited in his heart, he was about to become a rich man, I wanted to think about how to use it when I had money, and while walking towards the counter, Ye Chen smiled inadvertently at the corner of his mouth, and there were some muttering sounds from time to time.
