Since he knew that it was Zhang huoni's work, Chu Chen certainly couldn't let go of the clue, so he turned his head and asked Du Houdao, "Mr. Du, do you want to take this flat bottle to test?"
Du Hou didn't even think about it, so he said solemnly: "detection! Be sure to test! I think my eyesight is not very good, but it's better than that of ordinary players. I can't see that these are fakes, let alone them. If we don't eradicate these people early, and when the fakes are rampant, it will inevitably cause panic in our antique collection industry. Then everyone in the industry can't be alone. "
When they heard Du Hou say this, Chu Chen and Uncle Wu were very happy about Du Hou's decision. They could not help but look worried. Now it's a long time since they found out the descendant of Zhang huoni, but they have no clue at all. If you know one more day, there will be more possibility of what Du Hou just said.
However, they were not able to intervene in the investigation. Chu Chen felt powerless when he thought about it.
Fortunately, there is another clue. If the flat bottle in front of you is really made by Zhang huoni's successor, the middle-aged man mentioned by Du Hou may have had or indirectly had contact with Zhang huoni. Maybe you can find the mastermind by then.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen quickly said: "Mr. Du, let's go to test it now!"
"Xiao Chu, you are in a hurry!" Du Hou said with a smile: "it's almost four o'clock now. We have to close the door to the testing institution. Let's wait until tomorrow!"
Chuchen smell speech some embarrassed of scratched head, nod a way: "OK, that we go again tomorrow!"
"Ah Looking at the three pieces of porcelain on the table, Du Hou sighed and said, "now think about it, that middle-aged man started the trick when he walked into my friend's antique shop. Those pieces of porcelain were just bait in the trap. Fortunately, I jumped in by myself. I'm really a fool!"
"And when I saw the middle-aged man's wife, I thought it was very strange. The woman was too young to match the middle-aged man in appearance. When they quarreled, the woman mentioned that because the middle-aged man robbed the tomb, she couldn't even see the children. I also felt that her expression was a little fake."
"But at that time, because I was too tired, I didn't pay attention to these two things. If I had thought about them more, I might not have stepped on" land mines "
Du Hou shook his head, then said: "in fact, half a million is nothing to me, the most important thing is that I'm sorry for my three yuan blue and white!"
Seeing Du Hou's sad look, Chu Chen can only comfort him. He really can't help much in this kind of thing. It's not necessary to let him transfer his yuan blue and white to Du Hou. You know, he also likes collecting ceramics, but he can't bear to transfer his precious yuan blue and white to others.
At this time, Uncle Wu suddenly asked, "by the way, Mr. Du, have you ever told your friend who runs an antique shop about the local master you heard about?"
When Du Hou heard Uncle Wu's question, he didn't know it at first, so he reacted in an instant and said with a surprised face, "do you mean that my friend is also involved in this matter?"
At this point, he began to meditate. After a while, he took a long breath and said angrily:
"when you say that, I remember. I did talk to him about it. The key is that he is also good at porcelain. I just took a look at it and felt that there was something wrong with the porcelain pieces. The things were placed directly in front of him. How could he I can't see it's good? "
"And usually, even if he had a good look at the porcelain pieces, he would make a decision. How could he just wave the man away! It seems that he must be involved in the next thing. Maybe he is the mastermind. I don't think I'm so bad with him. He actually does this kind of thing. He really knows people, faces and hearts
At the end, Du Hou couldn't help looking up to the sky and sighing.
Chu Chen quickly explained: "Mr. Du, things are already like this. No matter how sad you are, it doesn't help. In fact, if you think about it in a good way, it's not a loss to spend 500000 yuan to see a friend's true face. If you're still in the dark now, maybe he will bring you more losses later?..."
After listening to Chu Chen's advice, Du Hou pondered for a while and said: "Xiao Chu, what you said is really reasonable. I originally planned to come to him and scold him, but now I don't think it's necessary. It's really not worth being angry with this kind of person. Wanyi's anger has damaged the body. It's really not worth the loss!"
Chuchen said with a smile: "we really don't need to be angry with such people. Don't forget that he is likely to have contact with Zhang huoni. Maybe he will be in prison after a while."
"Ha ha! Yes, yes, yes Hearing what Chu Chen said, Du Hou began to laugh, and then said, "little Chu, you'd better go on and choose my collection. You see, I lost three pieces of blue and white porcelain today, and I can only get some comfort from your fair cup. Please have pity on my old man.""Yes
Originally, if it wasn't for Du Hou's generosity, he had changed the justice cup to Du Hou. Therefore, Chu Chen agreed with a smile without hesitation
Because there are still many collections not appreciated, considering the relationship between time, Chu Chen only roughly looked through the collection, only to see what he liked, he stopped to observe carefully.
In this way, after looking at another three or four hundred collections, Chu Chen finally found a collection that he was very satisfied with, a pen holder of landscape characters from the Qianlong period.
This pen holder is carved with a piece of Jasper, and it is not small. Both its length and diameter are more than 23 cm.
The color of Jasper is spinach green. It's not transparent under light. If you look at it carefully, there are naturally formed stripes and black spots inside. It's pure and introverted. If you touch it in your hand for a while, you will feel a kind of oily texture. This is the basic feature of the excellent Hotan Jasper.
During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, most of the Jasper pen holders used the scenery of high officials as their subjects, and so did this pen holder.
The outer wall of the pen holder adopts the technique of high relief. You can see that the distant peaks stand high above the outer wall and enter the clouds. A stone path meanders down, close to Cangsong rock, mountain stream wooden bridge. On the wooden bridge, a woodcutter was walking forward. Around the mouth of the mountain, under the shade of a square of flat land, five woodcutters are unloading the burden to rest.
One of the woodcutters may have told an interesting story while drinking water, which immediately made everyone laugh. These four people either smile with reserve, or laugh up to the sky, some of them are so happy that they beat their fists and feet, and some of them even lie on the ground with laughter. The woodcutter, who washes his feet by the stream, doesn't understand the bustle here. It seems that he is listening.
Before the Qing Dynasty, large pieces of jade produced in Hetian were still scarce, so it was difficult to see large pieces. After the 25th year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, with the end of the war in the border areas, the amount of jade materials specially used by the royal family from Hotan increased sharply, and they were continuously transported from the Silk Road to the Imperial Palace, providing rich raw materials for the production of large jade ornaments.
Emperor Qianlong is one of the most interested emperors in playing with jade, appreciating jade and owning jade ware in the history of our country. Under his promotion, from the middle of Qianlong period, both the court and the people's demand for jade and the production level have reached the unprecedented grand occasion, and this pen holder is a fine product that came into being at that time.
This pen holder is not only huge and rare, but also highly skilled. With high relief technique, the sculptor vividly depicts the joy of every woodcutter. It is similar to the bamboo carving, ivory carving and wood carving of the same period. People can't help but clap their hands when they see it.
If we only talk about the value of this Jasper penholder, it must not be as good as Chu Chen's justice cup. But then again, since Du Hou was so generous just now, he should repay him. So when he saw this penholder, he immediately decided to choose it.
It's not too early, so Chu Chen decided to exchange the utensils, and was ready to talk to Du Hou. But at this time, when he turned his head to call Uncle Wu, he saw a blue and white bowl, and the blue and white bowl made him feel very strange.
Chu Chen curiously went to the blue and white bowl, and then took it to his hand.
This is a bowl with a diameter of 14.5cm. It has a curved belly, round feet and a heavy carcass. The inside edge of the bowl is painted with a circle of twigs and chrysanthemums. The center of the bowl is painted with waterfowl in lotus pond. The theme pattern on the outer wall of the bowl is pine, bamboo and plum, and the auxiliary pattern on the bottom is rolled grass pattern and variant lotus petal pattern.
If you want to say that the painters of this bowl are quite exquisite and have the artistic style of craftsmen in the Yuan Dynasty, but the blue and white hair color is black in blue, which is totally different from the blue and white of the Yuan Dynasty.
Moreover, the glaze of this bowl also looks bluish white, and it feels rough. It doesn't feel like a kind of glutinous rice at all.
Seeing now, Chu Chen felt a little strange. The bowl looked like a fake. How could it give him the feeling of an old thing? It was really strange. So he turned the bowl over again, and looked at its fetal foot carefully, which found a problem. The fetus looked old!
What's more, Chu Chen found a very small and not obvious transparent material at the bottom of the bowl. What's more, he scraped the material with his hand and it fell off, which made him feel embarrassed.
However, he was very surprised to find that the transparent material just now showed the porcelain body, and it looked like the real blue and white porcelain body of the Yuan Dynasty. This made him surprised and immediately had an idea.
