Chapter 321: Auction (4)

"Two million four hundred and ninety!"

The shopkeeper of Chai smiled proudly, and just when he thought he was the winner of Zuihou, he suddenly heard a voice behind him, and the owner of this voice was Chu Chen, who made him very unhappy!

Chu Chen's offer made the shopkeeper resentful, but also made him feel a taste of lifting a stone to hit his own feet, which made him reluctant to give himself a mouthful, there is a saying that "it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years", why should he be in a hurry!

The price of these three ancient books should be between two million three or four hundred thousand, so Chu Chen's current behavior is somewhat suspected of sabotaging the tacit rules of the auction, but there is a way to insult people, and people will always be humiliated, since the shopkeeper Chai was so aimed at Chu Chen just now, and now Chu Chen is fighting back, of course everyone will not say anything.

However, if the two of them are so-for-tat at the auction every time, then the association will warn them, and if they ignore the warning, then sorry, you will be expelled.

"Two and a half million!" At this point, unless it is unprofitable, the shopkeeper will definitely not give up, and if he gives up now, where will his face go?

Chu Chen also accepted it when he saw it, and the reason why he quoted that price was also stuck on a three-percent discount, so that even if the firewood shopkeeper didn't want it, he wouldn't lose money, and he didn't have that kind of aggressive jiashi, and he wouldn't give others an impression of being unhappy.

“…… Two and a half million, three times! Deal! ”

"Two and a half million, this price is good!" Liu Sizhe said loudly with a smile.

Liu Sizhe's words, the angry firewood shopkeeper is smoking, but Liu Sizhe is Liu Lao's grandson after all. He didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary, but he couldn't stay here any longer. When the transaction was over, he went out angrily with the ancient books. He scolded as he walked, little rabbit, wait and see!

Liu Sizhe sneered and said, "What a thing! It's also Brother Chen, you are easy to talk to, if you want me, you won't let him go so easily! ”

"That's it!" Chu Chen said with a smile: "Why does this kind of person care about him, today is to teach him a lesson, if you come to trouble next time, then don't blame me for being unkind!" "If the firewood shopkeeper thinks he is a soft persimmon, then just come and pinch it. Then he will definitely be taught a lesson that he will remember for a lifetime.

There was a ten-minute break next, so it was convenient to chat, but many people gathered around Chu Chen, wanting to take a look at the backflow pot.

It was not unavoidable to say this to Chu Chen, but after everyone took a closer look and listened to Chu Chen's explanation, many people regretted it in their hearts, and they knew that it was an open-door goods. Why don't you get involved!

However, the auction was not involved, and now there is still a chance, so many people asked Chu Chen if he would transfer it. However, for this rare goods of the Yaozhou kiln in the Northern Song Dynasty, Chu Chen will certainly not give up. So they politely declined one by one, which made many people leave a look of regret.

As soon as the break is over, the auction officially begins. The next few lots, none of which Chu Chen was interested in. However, these are not too expensive and more sought-after things on the market. Therefore, the competition is fierce.

It's just that Chu Chen also found that one of the unearthed ancient jade should be a fake, although the color on the jade seems to be very natural, otherwise it still can't escape his keen eyes, let alone an ability, if he guessed correctly, that ancient jade should be a piece of dog jade.

Dog jade refers to killing the dog, cutting open the abdomen, taking advantage of the fact that the dog's blood has not yet coagulated, putting the jade that needs to be processed into the abdomen, stitching, and then burying it under the pedestrian road, after a few years of taking out, the jade will appear on the unearthed flower blood spots, just like the unearthed jade in the ancient tomb. Compared with the real ancient jade, such jade has the color and carving marks of new jade.

Sheep jade is similar in that the legs of live cows or sheep are cut open, small pieces of jade are included, and then sewn together. After a few years, the blood is soaked into the jade, like the red and green of ancient jade. The jade treated in this way is not as warm and quiet as the ancient jade, and it looks dry.

Although the pseudo-ancient jade made by the two methods has its own shortcomings, if it is carefully disguised, it can still be very confusing. Just like the piece of dog jade just now, if it weren't for the help of the ability, it would be really difficult for Chu Chen to see that this was a piece of dog jade within two minutes.

After these few lots, the auction also came to an end, and as the staff put the lots on the stage, Chen Dayou began to introduce: "Next, the end of the Qing Kangxi Imperial Ming Kui Dragon Pattern Songhua Stone Inkstone." ”

"This inkstone is small, the color is emerald green and slightly yellow, and the horizontal lines of the brush filament are obvious. The edge of the ink pool is carved with a dragon, and the craftsmanship is complicated, like a ghostly workmanship, reflecting its royal nobility everywhere. The carving of the pine stone imperial inkstone and its inkstone cover often pursues gorgeousness, regardless of the complexity, and the same is true of this inkstone. The dragon and phoenix pattern is carved on the inkstone cover, and the complexity of its craftsmanship is a hundred turns and thousands of times, and the view is fascinating. ”

There is a phoenix swooping down, the breath of the king of birds is immediately revealed, there are four dragons, each in a group, one or two against each other, and one or two opposite, the momentum is majestic, not angry and self-majestic, it seems to become the word "longevity" between the coils, extremely exquisite. There are also two dragons at the bottom, glaring angrily, and the royal aura is incomparable......"

Songhua stone inkstone, also known as Songhua inkstone, is the same name as the end inkstone, the inkstone, and the red silk of the four ancient stone inkstones. During the Qing Dynasty, it was enshrined as a special item for the imperial court. Songhua stone inkstone is a stationery item processed from pine stone for grinding ink, writing or painting.

Songhua stone is also known as Songhua jade, the real name is Wula stone, produced in the Changbai Mountains, so the place is the birthplace of the Qing Dynasty, so the Songhua stone inkstone is highly respected by the Qing Emperor, and was named "imperial inkstone" by the Kangxi Emperor.

The original written record is contained in the "Gezhi Jingyuan" compiled by Chen Yuanlong in the last years of Kangxi, which said that Emperor Kangxi got the pine flower stone "to taste its good, created from the sacred heart, and ordered the work to create it as an inkstone".

Before the Qing Dynasty, Songhua stone was used by the locals to make whetstone, Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty had a unique vision, in the middle of the Kangxi Dynasty, it was developed as an inkstone, after the Songhua River stone was discovered by the Qing Shengzu, it was specially granted to specialize in the mining of ore in the Yamen, and set up an "inkstone" in the palace to raise the heart of the palace, designed by the painters and celebrities of the Ruyi Museum, and then handed over to the craftsmen of the inner court to carve.

Since Kangxi 30 years later, the Songhua stone inkstone became the Qing Dynasty court special inkstone, from the ore mining to the design and carving are monopolized by the royal family, each inkstone is transported into the palace after how to use it is decided by the office of the Holy Decree. Songhua stone inkstone or inkstone box, Kang, Yong, Qian's three dynasties for the prosperous period, Songhua stone inkstone or inkstone box to express the artistic style has its own wonders.

Songhua stone can only be used by the palace's "manufacturing office" to go into the mountains alone to collect stones, and transport them back to the palace to be developed into inkstones, as a special product for the emperor, and a small amount is also used to reward meritorious courtiers. Kangqian period made more than 80 square inkstones, later generations have developed more than 80 squares, the current surviving imperial palace imperial inkstone has more than 80 squares, all of which are stored in the two courtyards of the Forbidden City, with the treasure island in the majority, the folk rarely circulate, it can be seen that it is precious.

Everyone didn't expect that today's auction would have a Songhua inkstone in the Kangxi period, which was really unexpected, so when Chen Dayou's words just fell, everyone rushed to the stage to appreciate it, and the scene was very lively.

Seeing that there would be a Songhua inkstone, Chu Chen was also quite excited, he had lived with his family for so many days, and he also learned that his father usually had no other hobbies except for writing calligraphy, after knowing this, Chu Chen planned to buy a better set of four treasures of the study to give to his father, and this Songhua inkstone obviously came at the right time.

Time passed quickly, and it didn't take long for Chu Chen's turn.

Generally, the quality of one end of the inkstone can be identified by "looking, touching, and knocking".

Look refers to looking at the quality, workmanship, product, inscription, decoration and new and old of the inkstone, whether it has been repaired, etc. If the inkstone has been repaired, then the color of the repaired place will always be different from the original color of the inkstone.

This piece of pine flower inkstone, Chu Chen knew at a glance that the quality was quite high.

Generally speaking, among the pine stone color, red maple is a unique product, chestnut yellow is a fine product, poplar yellow green is the top grade, white, black is a rare product, these are in the hands of collectors, love inkstone people generally will never be easy to sell. And the material of this inkstone is poplar yellow green pine stone, just in this regard, it is quite rare.

What's more, the workmanship of this inkstone, at a glance you know that it is a typical palace style, well-carved, extraordinary character, the inscription is engraved with the four-character seal book of "Kangxi year", the carving method of the word is also in line with the technical characteristics of the time, and together with the inkstone cover is in good condition, it is a rare thing.

After "seeing" is "touching", as soon as this inkstone arrives in his hand, Chu Chen feels that the feel is as smooth and delicate as a child's skin, but it is slightly astringent, indicating that the stone quality of this inkstone is good and the texture is very dense.

The denser the texture of the inkstone, the finer the ink will be, and the more intense the light perception of the ink. On the contrary, the ink is rough and the color is dull.

After "touching", it is "knocking", but when Chu Chen took his palm away from the inkstone, he saw that there were water droplets condensed on it, and the mist flew away after a while.

This is actually a characteristic of pine stone, pine stone is actually a marine sedimentary inkstone, under the action of low temperature seawater for tens of millions of years, warm and subtle, not dry or astringent, peaceful and elegant, can absorb moisture in the air.

In this way, if we cover the inkstone with our hands, we will find that the inkstone surface is condensed with a layer of water vapor when we raise our hands after a while. This peculiar phenomenon is especially prominent in the Jiangnan area, where the water mist is thick.

And because of this characteristic makes the Songhua inkstone placed on the desk, the ink on the inkstone is not easy to dry, after a long time, the pen licks the ink, it can be said that it is as bright as ever. That's why Songhua inkstone is so popular.

After that, Chu Chen flicked the inkstone with his fingers, and heard the sound of solid wood, indicating that the inkstone was of the upper grade, and if the sound of metal was made by the tapping, it was of the middle grade, and the sound of the tile was of the lower grade.

At this point, Chu Chen was basically sure that this was a good thing to open the door wide, but in order to ensure that it was genuine, he still used the Spirit Treasure Eye once, but the result surprised him...... (To be continued......)
