Chapter 460

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Du Hou frowned and said, "Xiao Chu, according to what you say, how can you see at a glance that this jade horse is a fake?"

Chu Chen explained: "if you only look at the orange peel pattern, it's certainly not so easy to judge, but its craft shows that it's a fake. If I'm not wrong, it should be a imitation of the jade horse ornament of the Yuan Dynasty."

"Yes, I also think it belongs to the Yuan Dynasty. Yuma belongs to the style of the Yuan Dynasty." Du Hou nodded.

"Then there's a problem." Chu Chen explained: "although the jade horse is rough and powerful, with drill marks and thallium marks on its surface, it does not have the dangerous knife phenomenon of Yuan Dynasty jade, and the polishing is too fastidious, which is not in line with the style of Yuan Dynasty jade."

Du Hou frowned and pondered for a while. Although he had already believed what Chu Chen said, he still asked: "is this jade horse ornament the jade of Ming Dynasty?"

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "it won't be from the Ming Dynasty. First of all, the style of this jade is not that of the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, the surface of Ming Dynasty Jade will have glass luster, but this jade doesn't have it. Moreover, although Ming Dynasty Jade also has drill marks and thallium marks, they are not as obvious as above. And the most important thing is that these black spots are actually forged!... "

"How can it be? It shouldn't be!" Although Chu Chen has already explained it in detail, Du Hou still finds it hard to accept it.

This made chuchen very strange. Even if this jade horse ornament was from the Yuan Dynasty, it was only two or three hundred thousand. Even if it was an eye opener, it should not be difficult to accept with Du Hou's economic strength. Is there any secret in it?

Thinking of this, Chu Chen asked: "Mr. Du, no wonder this jade ornament is very important to you?"

Chu Chen's words, let Du Hou instantly back to God, said a sentence "wait" and rushed to the inside of the room.

After a while, Du Hou came over carefully with a big box in his arms. Then he put the box on the table and said anxiously to Chu Chen, "Xiao Chu, Lao Wu, please come and help me see if these blue and white pieces are right."

Chu Chen and Wu Shu heard that it was blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty, so they hurried over. At the same time, Du Hou quickly took out the contents of the box. They were a blue and white dragon four series flat bottle, a blue and white peony peacock plum bottle, a blue and white peony jade pot spring bottle, a total of three pieces of blue and white porcelain.

However, when Uncle Wu saw the three blue and white porcelain wares, he said, "how can I see this plum vase anywhere?"

as like as two peas, "I know," I know, this bottle of plum is exactly the same as the one that was displayed on 1988 by New York J.J.Lally company. What I suspected was that it was true and false. But I have studied it carefully, and I have not found any place that does not conform to the characteristics of Yuan blue and white. At that time, I thought the two bottles should be a pair. Now it seems that this bottle is probably one. Only copies

Hearing this, Chu Chen immediately asked, "Mr. Du, are these blue and white porcelains and that ornament from the same person?"

"Yes Du Hou said with a bitter smile: "these things are really from one person a year ago..."

It turned out that more than a year ago, Du Hou visited a friend of his who owned an antique shop. While they were having a good talk, a middle-aged man came in. He was dressed as a migrant worker, and his left hand was tightly carrying a cloth bag.

"Old Boss, do you collect old things here? " After the middle-aged man came in, he asked timidly.

Du Hou's friend didn't neglect him because of his clothes. He got up from his seat and said, "please take a seat first. I'll take the old things, but I also need to see what you're bringing."

The man's eyes brightened, and then he took out a handful of porcelain pieces from the cloth bag.

"All right, all right! Put it back! " Du Hou's friend saw that it was a porcelain chip, but he didn't look at it carefully, so he waved his hand and said, "I'm so sorry, brother. I'm collecting the whole thing!"

The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, then opened his mouth to say something, but finally sighed, put the porcelain in his hand back into the cloth bag, and then walked out of the shop with a look of loss.

After the middle-aged man left, when they chatted, Du Hou was always absent-minded, and soon left with his friend.

After walking out of the shop, Du Hou began to look for the middle-aged man just now, which made him happy. Before he took a few steps, he found the middle-aged man. At that time, the man was walking out of an antique shop not far away. From his expression, we can see that his porcelain pieces should not have been sold.

Seeing this, Du Hou rushed to catch up: "big brother, wait!"

"What can I do for you, sir?" The middle-aged man looked back and found that it was the old man who had just sat with the owner of the antique shop. He stopped and asked.

Du Hou stood panting in front of the middle-aged man and asked, "have you sold all those things?"

On the middle-aged man's face, he said, "no! They all say they don't accept broken things! "At this point, he suddenly thought of something, some excited asked: "uncle, do you want to buy?"

"I'll see first!" Du Hou laughed, but he didn't say anything.

However, this is the sound of nature in the middle-aged man's ears. He took the things out of the bag with an excited face and held them for Du hou to watch.

Du Hou didn't take over directly, but said with a smile: "brother, we have a rule in antique trade. We can only take over if we put things on the table or on the ground. Please forgive me!"

Middle aged man simple and honest smile, said: "nothing, nothing, there are rules of the line!"

With that, he blew the earth on the ground, then carefully put the cloth bag on the ground, and then put all the tiles on the cloth bag.

When Du Hou saw the pieces of porcelain that the middle-aged man took out, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes. However, the emotion was immediately suppressed by him. Then he picked up the pieces of porcelain carelessly and looked at them. The more he looked, the more surprised he was. However, in order to avoid the doubt of the middle-aged man, he could only suppress his emotion in his heart.

"What a pity, what a pity!" After seeing the porcelain pieces on the man's hand, Du Hou called out some regrets.

"What's the matter, old man?" The middle-aged man asked.

Du Hou replied: "you look good, but they are all broken and worthless. Don't you have a complete thing?"

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, then took out a small bronze mirror from his bag and said, "this is the only good thing. The rest of these things come to me like this!"

Du Hou saw the hesitating look of the middle-aged man, and immediately felt that this man should have more than these things, but he did not immediately get to the bottom, but first took the bronze mirror into his hand and looked at it.

This is a tortoise button pine crane mirror. The features of Yuan Dynasty are very obvious. The surface is mottled with serious rust, but the patterns on it can still be seen.

The bronze mirror is a Fu Gui button. The top of the button is decorated with green pines and cypresses. The two cranes on the left side of the button bend their necks and argue with each other. The posture is elegant. Under the button, there are mountains, rocks, grasslands and streams. The pattern layout is clear and regular. The mirror body is small and the surface is smooth. It is a good Yuan Dynasty bronze mirror.

"Sir, do you want these things?" The middle-aged man asked with some trepidation.

Du Hou nodded and said, "yes, but you know what these things are. If they are too expensive, I can't afford them."

The middle-aged man was very happy and said directly: "this pile of things is 500 yuan! Do you think so? "

Du Hou frowned and seemed dissatisfied with the price, but he didn't respond first. Instead, he took out a handful of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and handed it to him, saying, "brother, do you smoke?"

When the middle-aged man saw that it was actually a soft bag of Chinese tobacco, he went forward with both hands and received the cigarette respectfully. He said "thank you".

At this time, Du Hou lit a fire again. The middle-aged man was so moved that he bent down and took a sip of the cigarette.

"Brother, your accent sounds like Yu Han's!" Du Hou asked after lighting the fire for him.

"Old man, you have a good ear. My hometown is really Yuhan's. I moved to the porcelain capital only last year."

"Ha, don't talk about it. Take the money!" With a middle-aged man's accent, Du Hou counted 500 yuan and handed it over.

The middle-aged man didn't know at first, so he reacted in a moment, and asked happily: "old man, are you from Yu Han?"

Du Hou said with a smile: "I used to work in Yuhan for several years. Yuhan is half of my hometown. In fact, to tell you the truth, there are not many things like you in terms of value. I also think that we are villagers, and I also buy them for my grandson, otherwise ordinary people will only give you one or two hundred!"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man was so moved that he kept saying thanks.

"By the way, you should have more than that. What else?" Du Hou asked casually.

"Well, there are still some..." At this point, the middle-aged man suddenly stopped his mouth and quickly said, "no, it's just these things!"

Du Hou said with a smile: "brother, don't worry. I'll pay whatever price you have. Even if it's a national treasure, I can afford it!"

"This..." The middle-aged man hesitated and stopped talking.

"Brother, I'm going to nag you." Du Hou said sincerely: "I'm not a dealer in antiques, I'm just a lover. So I don't like those businessmen who like to lower prices when I buy things. In addition, I have no problem with my character. Unlike some people, I don't report you if I don't succeed in business. I won't do such immoral things!..."
