Chapter 767

While chuchen was looking through the thread bound books, Warren came back with two brocade boxes and put them on the side of the books.

After Chu Chen had read all the twelve books, Warren politely asked, "Chu, are these books true?"

"It's all genuine." Chu Chen nodded.

After hearing Chu Chen's reply, Warren immediately showed a smile on his face. He asked, "how much are these books worth now?"

Chu Chen did not answer directly, saying, "Mr. Warren, there is something I want to explain first."

Warren heard the speech and said, "please go ahead."

Chu Chen said, "if I guess correctly, you invited me here because you want to sell these things?"

This kind of thing is obvious, and Warren admitted frankly: "yes, my business has a big problem this time. If I don't replenish the working capital, it will go bankrupt within two months. Otherwise, I'm reluctant to sell these antiques."

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Mr. Warren, I know your difficulties, but I'm in business. You should also understand that the quotation of antiques is just a reference value. The specific transaction price can't come from this quotation."

Warren frowned at Chu Chen's words and then asked, "Chu, what do you mean?"

Chu Chen replied: "I mean, the price of the specific transaction is determined through negotiation. For example, I can buy the Ming Dynasty imitation official kiln gourd bottle with the previous quotation, but the price of things like your gilded watch needs to be negotiated."

"After all, such things are not of high value. They are quite common in the market. Although I can give the market reference price, when I sell them, the customers may not agree with me. I don't have to sell them at a loss or overstock them all the time?"

Warren also understands that chuchen is telling the truth. If an antique like that gourd bottle is priceless, then the wall watch is priceless. Although the price is high, no one is willing to buy it at that price. Chuchen will not buy it at the market reference price. After all, he has no special close relationship with chuchen.

So Warren agreed, "Chu, you're right. Let's negotiate on the price."

"Well, in that case, what do you think of the final price of the things?" Chu Chen asked.

Warren felt that chuchen's proposal would not harm his interests, so he agreed.

The two things Warren took were blue and white porcelain. One of them was a blue and white porcelain pen holder in the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. Its shape was exquisite and its production was regular. Cylindrical, jade bottom. The blue and white painting on the outer wall depicts one of the ten sceneries of Tongjing West Lake and the autumn moon scenery of Pinghu Lake.

There are pavilions, Lake pavilions, ancient pine pavilions and grass pavilions in the picture. On the stream pavilions, Gaoshi comes to visit friends with Qin. In the boat on the lake, Gao Shi raised his glass to enjoy the moon. The brushwork is exquisite, and the character image and landscape layout are elegant and pleasant. In the blank space, there is a seven character quatrain with the signature and seal. It can be regarded as a masterpiece of blue and white penholder about the landscape of West Lake.

It's a pity that although the penholder is good, it's a folk kiln work. No matter in terms of production technology and market value, it can't be compared with the official kiln, and the market value is not high. It's estimated that 25000 RMB can't reach it.

The other is a small blue and white can. This pot has straight mouth, round shoulder, abundant bottom and round foot. The bottom is printed with blue and white pattern, which is the six character double line regular script pattern of "the year system of Chenghua in Ming Dynasty". It is written by the round center and Zang Feng. The strokes are strong and straight. It looks like the original blue and white pattern of Chenghua.

Most of the blue and white wares in Chenghua are exquisite and light, with few standing pieces. The doucai Tianzi jar and the blue and white jiuqiu jar are the classic famous wares of Chenghua official kiln porcelain.

This auction is the same as the blue and white jiuqiu can of Chenghua in Baodao Palace Museum. Its body is full of shoulders and belly, its lines are relaxed, its outer wall is decorated with blue and white jiuqiu patterns, its near foot is set off by the undulating slope, and two butterflies are flying in the air, which adds a lot of vitality to the picture, presenting the autumn scenery of "jiuqiu flowers and butterflies".

Among them, the branches and leaves are soft and beautiful, the shape is elegant, and there is a kind of quiet and unrestrained interest in it. Blue and white hair color is pure and elegant, blue in the flash gray, color is very stable, calm, quite water black painting style, with white and moist body glaze and fine decorative patterns contrast, extraordinarily refined. It seems that it should be the famous equal youth.

No matter from the aspects of the body, glaze, blue and white hair color, painters and money, the jar should be genuine. However, Chu Chen felt that there was something wrong with the blue and white jar. For him, this feeling is obviously not a good phenomenon.

Originally, Chu Chen was ready to use the ability, but he thought that relying on the ability would not improve his level, so he carefully observed the blue and white pot, but he still didn't find anything wrong.

"Do I really feel wrong?"

Chu Chen murmured to himself. Just as he was about to use the power, he suddenly thought of a way to judge whether it was genuine or not. So he quickly looked at the jar in the light, and he found the trick.Generally speaking, Chenghua blue and white porcelain is white and plump with unique glaze. It is translucent and moistening like cream. If you look through the light, you can see that the carcass is faint flesh red. This glaze color is an important feature of Chenghua blue and white porcelain. However, this can does not have this phenomenon. It can be seen that this Chenghua blue and white can is a fake.

Chu Chen was even more surprised that the maker of this blue and white pot was so powerful that he could imitate it so vividly except that place. In fact, apart from Zhang huoni, he has never met a person who imitates ancient porcelain so skillfully.

"Wait! Isn't this the imitation of Zhang huoni? "

When Chu Chen was surprised, he suddenly thought of something, which was also related to the "nine autumn" on the jar.

The ancients called autumn "jiuqiu" because it had 90 days in autumn, so they collected nine kinds of autumn grass in one picture. The nine kinds of flowers were: Begonia in bud, elegant purple jasmine, quiet thyme, gorgeous Catharanthus roseus, blooming chrysanthemum, elegant purple snowflake, fragrant osmanthus, yellow marshmallow and gentian.

These nine kinds of flowers compete to open on the same utensil. They are colorful and beautiful. It means celebrating the harvest in autumn. So it's called "jiuqiu picture" or "jiuqiu celebration".

In the early Song Dynasty, jiuchen wrote a lot of poems about Qingqi in zhuchu. In the end, by the help of jiuqiu zhengse, Fang steal drunk time.

It's a coincidence that Chu Chen thought of this poem. Some time ago, he got a piece of paper from the box. Because he was worried about the hidden details, he put those pieces of paper beside him. Whenever he had time, he would take them out and look for the clues like a riddle.

However, it's very difficult to find any useful clues from the dense small letters. He hasn't found any useful information in so many countries. Until yesterday, when Wu Ke pleaded, he changed another way, so he combined a sentence in "planting chrysanthemum" that "he will help to correct the color through the autumn".

Chu Chen had never seen this ancient poem before. At the beginning, he just felt that this sentence had some charm and didn't think about the direction of the poem at all. After talking with Vincent, he sat in the coffee shop in a state of extreme boredom and wishful thinking, and then he realized whether that sentence would be a sentence in an ancient poem.

So, after returning to Randy's home, Chu Chen searched the Internet with his computer and found that it was a sentence in "planting chrysanthemum". This made him a little excited, but at the same time, he couldn't understand what Zhang huoni wanted to express with this sentence or this poem, because there were too many extended meanings.

It was not until now that Chu Chen saw such a lifelike Chenghua blue and white pot that he felt that perhaps the poem referred to this green pot.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen searched the blue and white can carefully inside and outside, because if it was Zhang huoni's work, he would have left his unique mark. However, after a round of searching, he was surprised that he couldn't find it.

Chu Chen frowned and thought, "am I wrong?"

The next Warren saw Chu Chen constantly looking at his blue and white porcelain, and he couldn't help getting nervous because he thought about it from time to time.

You know, among the many antiques he bought, except for the ones that Chu Chen had identified the day before yesterday, there are only a few genuine ones that have been identified by experts. Now he has put the hope of revitalizing his enterprise on these antiques. I really don't want to see any accident happen to this Chenghua blue and white can.

So Warren, nervous, asked, "Chu, is there anything wrong with this blue and white can?"

"I'm not sure. I'll see about it later!"

Chu Chen shook his head. The reason why he said that was because he thought that if the thing was not made of Zhang huoni, he would not have spent a lot of money to buy a fake. And if the thing is made of Zhang huoni, it means that there may be some clues hidden in it, then he will definitely buy it back anyway.

Next, Chu Chen looked inside and outside again, but the result was the same as just now, which really puzzled him. However, in order to avoid making mistakes, he immediately used the ability.

The result of the power made Chu Chen very speechless, because there was a specially made sandwich at the bottom of the jar, and there was a very small key in the sandwich. I didn't know where the key was used
