At the beginning, after Chu Chen returned to Beijing from the porcelain capital, he used the method previously used to show the words recorded in the last few pages of his notes.
The above content is relatively simple, there are only two. One is to say that the three very similar designs of two bottles and one pen holder that Chu Chen bought before did play a key role in opening the treasure, but what the role is needs to be guessed by the people who get these three things.
Seeing such vague information again, Chu Chen almost yelled at him. You said that there would be a result soon, but you still covered it up. Can't you say it in a big way?
However, for people with psychological problems like Zhang huoni, Chu Chen doesn't think there is anything to scold. Besides, other people are dead, so it doesn't work to scold him. Moreover, since things are already in his own hands, he believes he can think of them sooner or later.
In addition, the rest is the clue of the candlestick. According to the text, the candlestick and a jade pendant were given to a friend by Zhang huoni. The jade pendant was also painted on it, and the specific characteristics were described.
Originally, Zhang huoni didn't record his friend's name. Chu Chen thought it must be looking for a needle in a haystack again, but unfortunately, the jade pendant he bought from Pang Huhu today, whether it's carved patterns or details, was the same as those recorded in his notes, which made him almost think he was wrong at that time.
For this reason, he also specially used the ability to verify that the jade pendant was made in the period of the Republic of China. In addition, the material and pattern are also the same. It is basically certain that it is the jade pendant mentioned in the notes.
It was confirmed that it was the jade pendant, and Chu Chen was also worried. After all, it was related to the clues of the rest of the treasure map. The most important thing is that the owner of the jade pendant is actually a gambler in debt. If the candlestick is also with him, it is likely that he will pay off the debt.
Of course, after all, things have been going on for so many years. It's possible that the candlestick and jade pendant are not in the same person's hands, or the candlestick has been broken. However, it's very likely that the person knows the candlestick clue.
So, after the transaction was completed, Chu Chen casually asked the person for information.
Pang tiger thinks that chuchen still wants to buy antiques from the man. In addition to giving chuchen detailed information, he also tells chuchen that there are only four antiques in the family, which are given to the man's father by others. Another thing is that because he still owes some debts, he has gone to other places to avoid the debts, and he doesn't know when he will come back.
Although it was a bit troublesome, Chu Chen didn't think it was necessary to find the man, because unless he was the only one in his family, there might be others who knew who sent the jade pendant.
But it's really unfortunate that the man is really alone, which makes Chu Chen somewhat helpless. In addition to being searched, he can only wait for the man to come back.
…………
In the twinkling of an eye, on Monday, Chu Chen just went to the antique shop to deal with the business for a while. Lao Wu walked up to Chu Chen and said, "boss, yesterday a shovel I knew called me and said that he had some good things. He asked me if I was interested. I promised him."
Chu Chen asked, "would you like me to come and have a look?"
Old five shook his head: "this is not, I want Zuo Shan to go with me."
After hearing this, Chu Chen understood the meaning and asked, "what's wrong with that man?"
Old five said: "to not have a problem, mainly because he didn't contact me for a long time, always want to be on guard."
As I said earlier, there are so many things in the field of antiques, such as making sets, burying mines and so on. It's also right for old five to guard against any accidents.
Chu Chen asked, "didn't you let him trade in our store?"
"Of course, I have, but he said it's too big to take with me, so I have to be on guard."
Speaking of this, the fifth man said with a smile: "in fact, it's nothing to push it off, but I used to pick up a few leaks in his place, and there was Zuoshan escort, so I wanted to go and have a look. Don't miss a good chance."
Chuchen laughed and asked, "is the place far away?"
"Not far..." Old five said the address.
When Chu Chen heard the place name, he happened to be near the courtyard where Wei Zhongxian's treasure was hidden.
Speaking of it, Chu Chen asked Zuo Shan to inquire about the sale of the courtyard. It has not come to an end.
Originally, Zuoshan found a reason to call on the owner, but he shut the door. It's not that the owner didn't want to sell the house, but that he didn't even meet the owner. Later, he inquired about the neighbors and found out that the owner was hospitalized and not at home.
In this case, Zuoshan can't go to the hospital to ask, so chuchen asked him to pay attention to this matter, the specific things wait for the owner to leave the hospital.
Chu Chen thought about it. Anyway, there was nothing wrong with the store, so he said, "I'll go with you."
"This..." Old five smell speech some hesitation, Youdao is the son of gold, sit down, he can't let chuchen risk.
Chuchen waved his hand with a smile: "you don't know my skill, and Zuoshan is not in the wilderness. How can you have any risk?"When he thought about it, he nodded his approval.
Chu Chen went to the siheyuan that was being renovated to meet Zuoshan, and then asked Zuoshan to drive them to the address that Lao Wu had just mentioned.
After getting out of the car, Chu Chen found that it was also an antique shop.
When they entered the antique shop, they saw an old man in his 50s and 60s and a middle-aged man in his 40s drinking tea and chatting there. When they saw Chu Chen coming in, they stood up and welcomed them.
The middle-aged man smiles and shakes hands with Lao Wu: "Lao Wu, long time no see."
Old five says with a smile: "you this guy can't be where to get rich to go? It's been more than a year. "
The middle-aged man patted his stomach: "you see, I have no oil and water in my stomach. How can I get rich?"! It's like you. I've heard that you've been with a big boss. Now your registered permanent residence is in Beijing. "
After that, he also looked at Chu Chen, whose meaning is self-evident.
After hearing these words, Lao Wu understood why the middle-aged man found him. One possibility is that the other party knew that he had money, so he thought of himself. What is more likely is that the value of the other party's things is relatively high, which needs his boss, that is, Chu Chen, to eat.
Of course, there is another possibility, because he or Chu Chen has money, the other party deliberately set up a bureau to cheat them. However, since the other party has investigated them, this possibility exists, but judging from the situation in front of him, it should not be big.
At this time, Chu Chen knew that the middle-aged man's surname was Zhou, and his nickname was Daya. As for why he got the nickname, he could guess from his two huge front teeth.
As for the old man, he is the owner of this antique shop, surnamed Zhong Dingsheng.
After a moment of greeting, Zhou Daya said hello to everyone, and then walked into the inner room.
When Zhou Daya came into the inner room, boss Zhong asked everyone to sit down and made a cup of tea for them. During this time, Chu Chen also looked around.
The antique shop doesn't look very big. The main things are furniture, jade and stationery. However, even so, Chu Chen saw that most of the things in the past were fakes, and even the real ones were very poor, which was not worth much money.
If ordinary people enter such an antique shop, they will surely think that there will not be any good goods here. But Chu Chen, who has a lot of knowledge, knows that this shop may have some problems in the source and origin of goods, or some antique relics that have just been unearthed.
When boss Zhong saw Chu Chen's thoughtful appearance, he said with a smile, "boss Chu, you should guess what business the shop is doing. However, the things he took from Daya are very pure. You can rest assured."
Chuchen smiles. It's not clear that boss Zhong can prove it. Besides, he's not a moral gentleman. He doesn't want any unearthed artifacts. In this case, he can't collect quite a few antiques on the market.
From another point of view, these unearthed antiques are to be bought anyway. If Chu Chen can buy them and put them in his museum, how can they not be a kind of protection for antiques? No matter what, it's better than those who are scattered abroad.
"It's been a long time." At this time, Zhou Da Ya carefully held a huge box and came out of the inner room.
Old five ha ha a smile way: "as long as you bring of all is good thing, we wait again long also happy."
Zhou Da Ya smiles, puts the box on the table, opens the lid and takes out the contents. It's a blue and white plum vase with peacock blue glaze.
Malachite blue glaze blue and white is a combination of low-temperature Malachite blue and underglaze blue and white. Before the Yuan Dynasty, the makers did not master the firing technology well, and the products were generally "peacock blue and black flowers". It was not until the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty that they made a historical breakthrough in the official kiln system, and produced the famous "blue and white" which was in fact.
Because this kind of utensils involves the use of cobalt material painting, so the production process is more complex than monochrome glaze, the difficulty and artistic attainments are not comparable to the former.
Like this plum vase in front of us, it has a long abdomen and a small mouth. The whole body is decorated with blue and white, and a layer of peacock blue glaze is applied. The glaze color is bright and the whole body is open. The technique is exquisite and complex. The mouth edge is thick, the neck is narrow and short, and the shoulder abdomen curve is too round and natural.
The figure is drawn with freehand brushwork, vivid and vivid, and the lines of clothing pattern are lively and fluent; the side ornaments are wrapped with flowers, the lines are extensive and vigorous, the branches and leaves are stretched, vivid and natural, and there is no deliberately artificial atmosphere.
According to the characteristics of its production technology and decoration, Chu Chen can conclude that it is a masterpiece of Jiajing period in Ming Dynasty.
