Chapter 654

Ma Xiaoqiang said so, but his character and Ma laocai come down in one continuous line. If he can kill a knife, how can he not kill it? It's just because he's afraid of mingmazi, so he can only say so. Of course, if you really want to kill chuchen, he can't say it in person.

Mingmazi also knows that Ma Xiaoqiang's words are beautiful, but he can't manage these. If Ma laocai dares to cheat, or the price is extremely high, then he will do what he says.

"Let's go..."

Ma Xiaoqiang quickly led everyone into the hall, then made a cup of tea for the three people, politely said hello and walked into the inner room.

After a while, Ma Xiaoqiang came out with an old man in a wheelchair. From his face, the old man was an honest man. If Chu Chen hadn't heard the story of Ma laocai from director Jin before, he would not have thought that this ordinary old man would be an open-minded and extremely mean person.

Ma laocai holds three boxes of different sizes in his hand. When he arrives at Chu Chen, Ma Xiaoqiang helps put the boxes on the table.

After that, the two sides first introduced and exchanged greetings with each other. Ma laocai said with a smile: "some time ago, I did miss some things, but I can guarantee that I didn't deliberately take the wrong things out of the things I brought out today."

Even minmazi's brain is very good, otherwise he won't become a local local snake. Hearing Ma laocai's words, he looks a little ugly and says, "according to your meaning, you can't guarantee that these things are genuine?"

Ma laocai spread his hand: "I think my things are genuine, but my level is limited. Whether I really get them or not depends on your eyesight. I can't say that if I say things are genuine, you can believe them unconditionally?"

The truth is that, but Ma laocai's saying so is to put his responsibility aside. Even if he deliberately takes out fake things, he can also say that he lost his eye when shopping, and Chu Chen can't help it.

Anyway, Ma laocai looks like this, and he has no fame to speak of. Even if something goes wrong, it will have no influence on him. Besides, no matter how famous he is now, he can't be eaten. Money comes from him.

When he figured out the trick, pockmarked boy felt very angry. Just when he wanted to say something cruel, Chu Chen waved his hand and said, "I'll see it first!"

"Please..."

Ma laocai laughs and asks his son to open all the boxes. Then he makes an invitation.

In the three boxes, there are jade ware, pen holder and a three colored camel Figurine riding by Hu people.

The three things looked good, but Chu Chen took them out one by one and looked at them carefully, but he only took a look at the penholder.

The penholder is a bamboo carving of Zhang Qian in the middle of Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Qian's riding on the raft is a famous myth in ancient times. It is said that Emperor Wu sent Zhang Qian to find the source of the Yellow River. After a long time, Zhang Qian went up the river on the raft to reach a densely populated market town, where men were farming and women were weaving.

He walked into a family and saw that the hostess was weaving and her husband was drinking from a cow.

Zhang Qian was very surprised and asked them, "where is this?"

The man pointed to the river where the cow was drinking and said, "this is Tianhe."

The hostess gave Zhang Qian a stone to support the loom. After Zhang Qian brought it back, he was recognized by the well-known Dongfang Shuo, saying that it was the rock filling under the weaving girl's loom in the sky.

Later, the allusion of "Zhang Qian riding the cha" was used to describe a long journey as an envoy.

This story is involved in poetry of Tang and Song Dynasties, dramas of yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, etc. similarly, many of the carvings in antiques are made on this theme.

This penholder is just like this. It adopts high relief technique. It is highly skilled, and its characters and plots are vividly portrayed. Chu Chen observes carefully, and thinks that the technique of "three Zhu" bamboo carving should be used, which is a good one.

Seeing that Chu Chen had finished reading, Ma laocai asked with a smile, "Chu Shao, what do you think of these three things?"

Chu Chen pointed to the pen: "this one, the other two are not right."

When Ma laocai heard Chu Chen say this, he felt a little anxious. The reason is very simple. Although he played tricks in his speech before, he actually bought everything with money. Now Chu Chen's words are euphemistic, but the meaning is there. The two most expensive things are fakes.

Ma Xiaoqiang was more anxious than Ma laocai. He immediately questioned Chu Chen and said, "how can such a good thing be a fake? You are wrong!"

"Xiaoyu, don't be rude!"

Ma laocai stares at Ma Xiaoqiang. Ma Xiaoqiang originally wanted to say two words, but seeing Ming Mazi's murderous eyes, his momentum immediately drops.

Later, Ma laocai turned his head and asked with a smile, "Chu Shao, can you tell me the reason why you are wrong?"

"OK, let's talk about this double crane ornament first."

Chuchen nodded with a smile, then picked up the jade in the box.It is made of white jade. It looks like it's warm and delicate. It's made of round carved Double Cranes. One crane holds Ganoderma lucidum in its mouth. Looking back, it's bent neck and prone. The other crane holds Lianzhi Shoutao in its mouth. One foot is upright, and the other foot is raised up. It seems that it wants to walk, full of movement.

"Mr. Ma, this ornament is really the style of the mid Ming Dynasty, and it's really good in terms of carving level, but the flaws are also very obvious."

Chu Chen explained: "generally speaking, when the ancients made jade, they didn't need to play with their hands like we do in modern times. The more they played, the brighter they were. They didn't need to play with their hands at all. This is because when a jade craftsman carves a jade, he himself plays with it for a long time. In this process, the warmth of the jade has come out, so there is no need for future generations to play with it. "

"And you have to look at the sculptors when you look at jade. Every line of the sculptors of old jade is connected to the end, and there will never be a broken line, because the sculptors carve it all at once. You may not have looked carefully before. On your ornament, there are several broken feather threads on the double crane. This is called Qikou in our business of making fake jade. "

"The reason is that the jade is carved with modern machines. In the process of carving, the craftsman gasps. As a result, the jade shakes on the grinding wheel, forming such an" air gap. ". Ordinary people can't see it without experience. This is absolutely impossible in the case of Tuozi craftsmanship, or in the case of handcraft

It is said that the ancients were very strict in making jade. It often took very little time to complete an exquisite jade, and the ancient craftsmen would not process it casually. Let's say that the arrangement of the grain nails on the jade wall with grain nail pattern in Han Dynasty is very regular.

according to the normal practice, the space should be calculated in advance by the craftsman, and the diameter of the jade wall and the number of pieces that can be made should be known before making, so it is impossible for the grain nails to be half a piece.

If you see half a grain nail pattern on a jade wall, it must be a mistake caused by insufficient calculation in the production process. That is to say, the jade wall is not a fake, but also an imitation.

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Ma laocai quickly took things to his hands. After a careful look, he found that there was a small amount of "angry mouth" on the feathers of the two cranes, which made him heartache and chagrin. He kept complaining about himself. Why didn't he pay more attention to this at the beginning?

Not only Ma laocai, but also Ma Xiaoqiang was heartbroken. He muttered to himself, "how can such a good jade be a fake? Is it because the craftsman didn't pay attention to it when it was first made? "

Chuchen said with a smile: "this jade land is still good. It was also a precious thing in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the possibility of this situation is very small. In addition, besides the "Qikou", the slurry of this jade should be formed by long-term grinding with special substances such as bran. "

Ma Xiaoqiang directly denied: "it's wrong for you to say that. The slurry of this jade is very soft and natural. It can't be ground with wheat bran."

"Yes, most of the slurry on the surface of this jade is true, but look here!" With that, Chu Chen pointed to several inconspicuous positions on the jade.

Ma laocai and his son were stunned when they saw it, because the slurry there was too bright and frivolous. Experienced people knew that it was not formed naturally.

"How could that be?" Ma Xiaoqiang exclaimed.

"I think it's normal." Chu Chen said: "this jade pendulum should be the original owner. He didn't see that it was a fake, or he liked the fake, so he set it for a while. However, there are always dead corners in our jade plate, especially the height of this jade is nearly 11 cm. The places left behind should be the places where the original owner didn't reach. "

No matter how hard the father and son didn't believe it, they knew it was a fake. Fortunately, the quality of the jade was good, the sculptor was good, and not everyone's eyesight was as good as before. This young man is so powerful that he is likely to sell it to others in the future.

Chu Chen didn't know what father and son thought. Anyway, for him, even though the quality of the jade was really good, he would not buy it unless the sculptor could reach the master level. It's better for him to buy something like this than to carve it himself.

After a while, Ma laocai came back to his senses. He asked Chu Chen with a bitter smile, "Chu Shao, what about this terracotta figure of Tang tricolor Hu people riding camels?"

There is no need to say more about the popularity and treasure of Tang Sancai. Its types include pottery horses, pottery figurines and pottery camels, and their shapes are generally very particular. In particular, camels have been frequently seen in tombs since the Han and Tang Dynasties, especially in the Tang Dynasty.
