Chapter 43

The lake is clear and bottomed out. It's easy to see the small fish swimming in the lake. There are several golden weeping willows planted by the lake. Now this season is full of shade. You can see the green in the past. It's an intoxicating scene. It makes people feel that the heat of summer has dissipated a lot in an instant.

In addition, at the East-West intersection of the gourd shaped lake, there is an antique bridge. The whole picture gives us a beautiful picture of a small bridge with flowing water. Seeing the beautiful scenes, Chu Chen could not help hesitating. In the future, when he bought a house, would he buy a Siheyuan or a residence full of simple and natural scenery?

In the east of the lake, in a shady willow room, there is an exquisite octagonal pavilion.

At this time, a white haired old man and a graceful young girl are sitting in the pavilion. They are drinking tea and chatting. On the wooden table in the center of the pavilion, there is a brocade box, which should be the Tianhuang birthday ornament that Liu Qinshu said just now.

Seeing their arrival, the old man said, "Ziping, you're here. Is this your nephew? The young man is very energetic. "

"Good old Liu."

Wu Shu and Chu Chen first went forward to greet Mr. Liu, and then Wu Shu replied, "yes, this is my nephew, Chu Chen. I brought him into our business, and now he has made a small achievement in porcelain."

After hearing this, Mr. Liu said with some joy and emotion: "it's good to have achievements. We need fresh blood to join us in this business. The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Our generation is already old!"

After listening to Liu's words, Li Beibei immediately complimented him: "grandfather Liu, are you a sword before it's old or a back wave in the Yangtze River?"

Everybody listened to her say so, all gently laughed.

After Li Beibei greets Uncle Wu, she cunningly says, "Uncle Wu, this is your nephew. He's so human. I don't know if he's really as powerful as you said."

When Chu Chen heard her saying this, he had a bitter smile on his face. He thought that he should have suffered from the disaster with Wu Ke. He said that he had the ability to fight with Wu Ke. What do you want to do with others.

Li Beibei's appearance is similar to Wu Ke's. her height is about 1.7 meters. Her facial features are very delicate, but she has a sense of heroism. Wu Ke's style is different. She is like a little Jasper.

The key is that Li Beibei's chest is indeed very magnificent. She is indeed called "cow". If she is in the street, her beauty and figure, men's turn back rate should be 100%.

This kind of beauty, usually on the road, Chu Chen will certainly see more, but it is just a kind of appreciation of beauty, when it comes to like, he still likes Wu Ke's type a little more, of course, Wu Ke's character is still a little too much for him.

It's nice to meet such a beautiful woman at ordinary times. It doesn't matter if he's not biased. However, today is a very important day for Chu Chen, which is related to his future development in the field of antiques. The first time I met Liu, he didn't want to make any mistakes because of Li Beibei's prejudice, and let Liu have any bad impression on him.

"You child."

Liu also heard about the enmity between Li Beibei and Wu Ke, and he knew why she said it. However, what she said is reasonable. It's not easy to tell if it's serious. So he turned to Chu Chen and said, "well, what Beibei said is also reasonable. Just like that, Xiao Chu, Beibei brought a Tianhuang ornament this time, it's up to you Let's talk about it. "

"Old Qian, this..."

As soon as Uncle Wu heard that old Qian asked Chu Chen to identify Tianhuang, he was a little anxious. Although he would let Chu Chen know more about antiques except porcelain, he had no confidence in Chu Chen's ability to identify Tianhuang.

Seeing that Uncle Wu was a little worried, Mr. Liu said with a smile, "Ziping, if Xiao Chu is really like what you told me that day, how about this ornament? He must be able to see it. Do you think I will force others to do so?"

Uncle Wu was a little embarrassed when Liu said that, but Chu Chen gave him a reassuring look on one side. Then he put the things in his hand aside and looked at the Tian Huang longevity ornament in the brocade box.

Tianhuang, I believe you are not unfamiliar with, is a unique "soft gem" in China. It is only produced in less than one square kilometer of farmland in Shoushan, Southeast province of China. It is generally yellowish in color and is mainly produced in farmland, so it is called Tianhuang stone.

The material of Tianhuang stone is warm, moist and greasy, which can be said to be the first among the soft carving stones. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Tianhuang was presented as a tribute to the Imperial Palace and carved into imperial seals and artistic ornaments. Therefore, Tianhuang stone was honored as "king of stone" and "stone emperor", so its value was incomparable.

Therefore, there has been a saying of "one or two Tianhuang ten Liang gold" in tianhuangshi since ancient times. However, after so many years of mining, tianhuangshi has become more and more rare. In recent years, the price has been rising year after year, so that some people have changed the previous saying to "one or two tianhuangshi ten Liang gold", which shows its precious degree.However, Tianhuang has been full of counterfeit goods since ancient times because of its precious value. Now with the development of science and technology, Tianhuang's counterfeiting can be found everywhere, such as chemical dyeing to make fake leather, using other stones of similar color and texture to pass off, and so on. It's really hard to prevent. Therefore, when you buy Tianhuang, you must polish your eyes.

Before chuchen picked up the ornament, baojue reminded him that it was valuable, and Tianhuang was very gentle and delicate when he got it, just like the real Tianhuang. However, up to now, it can not be proved that this Tianhuang ornament is the real one. Chuchen knew that several imitations also have such characteristics, and also have their value.

Then Chu Chen took out his flashlight and magnifying glass, carefully observed the ornament a little bit, and then put it back into the box.

Seeing this, Liu asked him, "Xiao Chu, what do you think?"

"Then I'll tell you what I think, but I'm not good at learning. If there's anything wrong or wrong, please forgive me."

Chu Chen was modest for a while, and then said, "this Tian Huang longevity ornament is exquisitely carved, and its beard is not disorderly, which is quite verve. At first glance, it seems that Baojiang and its carving are the works of the middle Qing Dynasty."

"It seems that you really have something to do with Uncle Wu." When Li Beibei heard Chu Chen say this, she had a happy look on her face.

Seeing this, Liu Qinshu said with a smile: "Beibei, you are 24 years old. How can you be so anxious? Let Xiao Chu finish his words first."

When Li Beibei listened to Liu Qinshu, she felt embarrassed and put out her tongue. She was so cute and witty.

Seeing her appearance, Chu Chen was stunned. Then he quickly turned his attention back and said with apology, "Miss Li, I'm really sorry. Just now I just said that it looks like a work in the middle of Qing Dynasty at first sight. In fact, this ornament should be made in the contemporary era."

"It's impossible." When Li Beibei heard what he said, she was in a hurry.

Liu old see her this appearance, comfort way: "well, Beibei, you don't worry, even if again anxious, fake also can't change true, first listen to Xiao Chu to say what's going on."

Tianhuang is very precious. If you buy it wrong, you will lose a lot. Especially this ornament is estimated to be about 100 grams. Even if it is not very good, it should be worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.

Seeing this, Chu Chen could only give her a sorry look. Then he picked up the ornament and explained to everyone, "in fact, this ornament is both true and untrue. It's true because the Tianhuang it uses is true, but it's untrue because it's made up of small pieces of Tianhuang."

Hearing this, Li Beibei wants to cut in again, but Liu Qinshu stops her. Chu Chen smiles at this, and then lights a position on the ornament with a flashlight and says: "if it's a real Tianhuang stone, its red checkered pattern must be continuous, and its characteristics should be the same. You can see that the red check pattern here develops continuously, and here, compared with the place just now, there are some differences in the characteristics of the red check pattern. "

"Let's look at the radish pattern again. The real Tianhuang radish pattern is uniform in thickness, evenly distributed, scattered and continuous. But here, there are obvious differences in thickness and disconnection. From these two points, we can see that this ornament is a combination of Tianhuang. "

"Of course, there is another way to distinguish it. If there is a needle, just burn it red with fire, and then prick it in the places I just pointed out. There should be smoke. This is the phenomenon produced after the adhesive melts."

"However, from these two points, we can see that the person who made the old ornament is a master. First of all, the material he chose. The radish pattern and the red check pattern inside are quite similar. If you don't observe this very carefully, you may be missed."

"What's more, this man's sculptor is very skillful. He used ingenious techniques to cover up the past at the joints, so that people can see that it is not stiff at all. Moreover, after carving, he should use the powder ground by Tianhuang stone, and after blending, he covered up the joints again, which makes it more fake than real."

"However, although this ornament is made of patchwork Tianhuang, the Tianhuang used and its sculptors are still good, so it has some value. I don't know how much you spent when you bought it, Miss Li. If it's less, it's also suitable."

But look at the tangled expression of Li Beibei, she should spend a lot of money when buying.
