Chapter 831

Seeing this, Qi Baolin was also speechless, so he took out a small notebook from his pocket, handed it to Chu Chen and said, "Chu Shao, you'd better sign on it!"

Qi Baofu knows that his behavior is childish, and he certainly can't object to it. On the other hand, Chu Chen gladly signed his name on his notebook.

"Thank you, Miss Chu. Let's go in." Qi Baofu looked at the signature on the notebook with great joy, then carefully put it away, and quickly made an invitation to everyone with a smile on his face.

They followed Qi Baofu to a private room. Unexpectedly, there was a middle-aged man who was nearly 50 years old.

This made Qi Baolin very speechless. Originally, the main purpose of this meal today was to apologize to Chu Chen for what happened at the beginning. Of course, the fewer people there are, the better. Now there's a cousin. Although it's inconvenient, he's also a member of his own family. I didn't expect that there's an unfamiliar outsider now. What's the matter?

"I know this guy is famous and unreliable at home. I should have agreed just now. I really deserve it!"

Qi Baolin secretly scolded himself, now this kind of situation, also inconvenient to go to other places, can only expect to let chuchen eat happy.

In fact, not only Qi Baolin felt uncomfortable, but the man sitting in the private room was also surprised by their arrival. However, when he learned that the young man in front of him was Chu Chen, who had been a guest of "collection of the world", his face was also surprised and he warmly welcomed Chu Chen's arrival.

Although Qi Baofu is somewhat unreliable, and his ability to identify antiques is not very good, he is quite enthusiastic, and he likes to make friends. He has many Tibetan friends in the capital and the surrounding areas, and he has several friends, who are experts familiar with Chu Chen.

Through Qi Baofu's introduction, Chu Chen learned that the middle-aged man, who was also Qi Baofu's friend in Wucheng, was Cao Jingde. The blue and white jar Qi Baofu bought before was identified as a fake by him.

Cao Jingde and Qi Baofu are both keen on antiques. Now it's hard to meet Chu Chen. Of course, the topic is about antiques. Fortunately, because of their work, the investigators, including Qi Baolin, have also made up some knowledge about antiques. When they talk about antiques, they can also put in a few words. The atmosphere at the dinner is very warm.

After three rounds of drinking, Qi Baofu looked at Cao Jingde, and then said to Chu Chen with a smile: "Mr. Chu, it's not easy to meet you today. I have a piece of porcelain here. I don't know if I can ask you for some advice?"

"I don't dare to ask. Let's study together!" Chu Chen said modestly.

"Mr. Chu, you are very kind..."

Qi Baofu chuckled and then took out a large brocade box from the bag in the corner cupboard. He put the brocade box in front of Chu Chen's eyes, opened it and saw that there was a big water chestnut bottle in it.

"Miss Chu, this is a bottle I saw in an antique shop. I think it's not expensive, so I bought it. Please comment on it."

Chu Chen didn't look at things first. Instead, he looked at Cao Jingde first. He laughed and said, "just now I just helped Lao Qi look at the blue and white can he just bought. As a result, he went away with his things in his arms. I haven't looked at this bottle yet. Mr. Chu, look after it first. "

Chu Chen readily nodded, then took the water chestnut bottle to his hand and observed it.

Water chestnut bottle is a popular bottle style in Qing Dynasty, which is named for its shape like water chestnut. The vase is nearly centimeter high, dignified and heavy. The whole body is decorated with pastel. The mouth edge and shin part are decorated with Ruyi cloud pattern and deformed lotus petal pattern. From the neck down to the abdomen, it is painted with cloud bat pattern. The red bat dances among the five colors of auspicious clouds, with different shapes and dense composition, implying great happiness.

In addition, white glaze was applied at the bottom of the bottle, and the four character regular script of "shendetang system" was written in alum red.

Shendetang is a group of buildings in Yuanmingyuan. It is located in the west of Jiuzhou Qingyan in Yuanmingyuan. It was built in the 10th year of Daoguang, and completed the next year. It is a living palace of Emperor Daoguang in Yuanmingyuan, where he mainly lived in his later years. It is also one of the famous porcelains of Guangxu official kiln.

Chuchen looked at the bottle once, and then he judged the authenticity of the bottle, and then he asked Cao Jingde.

At this time, Qi Baofu couldn't wait to ask: "teacher Chu, what do you think of this pink water chestnut bottle?"

Chu Chen did not answer directly. First, he asked, "Mr. Lin, why did you want to buy this bottle?"

Qi Baofu blurted out: "because the bottle has clam light!"

Hearing this, Cao Jingde raised his head and said, "Lao Lin, you are wrong. I have read a book before. It says that the clam light is due to some metal elements in the glaze color. After nearly 300 years, it gradually drifts to the porcelain surface, thus forming" clam light ". Therefore, only the colored glaze of porcelain in the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties of the Qing Dynasty could produce this kind of "clam light."

After listening to Cao Jingde's explanation, Chu Chen immediately understood that Cao Jingde's level in porcelain identification was not high.

Qi Baofu immediately retorted: "Lao Cao, what you said is too absolute. I used to see clam light on a Jiaqing multicolored bowl of my friend's. What's more, if the decoration on this bottle is not from the official kiln, can it show such a high level? ""This..." Cao Jingde looked at the bottle in his hand, but he couldn't tell why for a moment, so he turned his eyes to Chu Chen and wanted to hear his opinion.

Seeing that everyone looked at him, Chu Chen said with a smile: "Mr. Lin was right about clam light. In the actual collection process, clam light was not only found on the pastel glaze of porcelain of Jiaqing Dynasty in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, but also on some colored porcelain of Tongzhi and Guangxu years with only one hundred years. So if this bottle is genuine, it is also possible to appear clam light

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Qi Baofu's face was full of smile. However, Chu Chen's words changed and he said:

"however, this must be based on the premise that the thing is genuine. As for Mr. Lin, I don't think much of your bottle!"

"How come?" Qi Baofu's stunned face and his words made him feel as if he had fallen from heaven into hell. He felt cold all over.

At this time, Qi Baolin said: "Chu Shao, my cousin often doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin. Just tell me the specific reason."

For Qi Baolin's words, Qi Baofu didn't care at all. Now he was full of the idea of how his own things could be fake. He asked eagerly: "Mr. Chu, please make it clear."

Seeing what he said, Chu Chen directly explained: "clam light is metallic luster. The reason why it has metallic luster is that the metal elements contained in the color material gradually gather on the surface of the color material after oxidation and fusion, which is basically the same as the anti copper principle of bronze ware. These metal ions gather on the surface to produce metallic luster, that is, we Commonly known as the clam light

"The activities and changes of metal elements can't be formed in a short time, but now with the development of science and technology, it's easy to do if you know the causes. Just get more metal elements in the glaze, so most imitations will have clam light, but clam light is very dead, right there. Unlike genuine products, there are many places that don't say it, and it looks very natural. "

After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, when Qi Baofu looked at his bottle again, the more he looked at it, the more awkward he was. He also understood that his thing was probably a fake.

But there was another thing that he thought was very strange, so he asked: "Mr. Chu, why is the painter of this bottle so outstanding? Is the painting skill of the man who made it particularly superb? "

Chu Chen shook his head: "of course not. As I said just now, our technology is so advanced, and with computers, many things can be copied..."

When Qi Baofu heard this, he immediately understood Chu Chen's meaning and said, "Mr. Chu, what you mean is that the decoration on my bottle was copied from the real one?"

Chu Chen nodded and said, "it's true. Its principle is similar to the painted ceramic tiles on our market. And have you found that the decoration on this bottle is actually a little crooked. I guess it was not adjusted well at that time, so the printing was crooked. "

Cao Jingde put the bottle on the table immediately after hearing the words. As Chu Chen said, the decoration on the bottle is really crooked.

This makes Qi Baofu stunned, a force to blame himself, not careful to see things.

At this time, Qi Baolin said earnestly: "cousin, you've been playing antiques for so many years. When did you buy something, it's not because of your carelessness? For so many years, you've lost so much money, but your level hasn't increased at all. Since you don't have talent in antiques, I think you should stop early! "

Qi Baofu felt embarrassed. He touched his nose and said firmly: "antiques is my only hobby. How can I say stop it! Moreover, in recent years, my level is much better than before. I don't know how to bargain when I buy things. It's all progress! "

What's the proportion of progress that you spend money on

Although he thinks so, Qi Baolin also knows that his cousin is particularly obsessed with antiques, and he can make money, so that his family's economy will not be affected by the loss of antiques.

Therefore, after seeing that Qi Baofu had no intention of repentance, Qi Baolin went with him.
