Chapter 1023

Next, we chatted for a while. Of course, the topic basically revolved around the theft of Zheng qiuda's antique shop.

Say, not to mention Zheng qiuda did not put things into the safe, there are thieves patronizing, but also by his weak sense of security caused.

Zheng qiuda's antique shop is near Baoguo temple. It has been open for several years. His shop has a back door. Because he doesn't walk, it's locked all the time. In addition, he still supports it with a stick, so he doesn't care much. It's estimated that he hasn't checked it for at least a year before the thief patronizes it.

I didn't expect that the lock on the door might not open much at ordinary times. It's aging, and the stick is rotten, which makes it easy for the thief to break into the shop. And may be afraid of someone coming in from the front door, the thief also destroyed the front door lock, which makes Zheng qiuda feel particularly angry.

At the end, Zheng qiuda sighed and said, "in the end, it's still my own fault. It's a cut to gain wisdom. As for the loss of those things, nothing else, as long as I want to take back the intact fan, I will be satisfied

Chu Chen nodded and said, "Lao Zheng, if you can get this fan back, do you mean to do it?"

Zheng qiuda was stunned, and immediately reflected that Chu Chen had seen this fan in the morning, and it was normal for him to be interested in this thing, but he didn't really plan to do it in his heart, and he had been hesitant.

Seeing this, Zhu Dafu quickly said, "Lao Zheng, it's OK not to sell things. Can you let Xiao Chen bring things to Lao Liu for appraisal?"

Zheng qiuda was a little confused about Zhu Dafu's words, because Zhu Dafu said "identification" rather than "appreciation", that is to say, several of them, including Chu Chen, did not identify the authenticity of things, but since they did not identify the authenticity, why did Chu Chen say they wanted to buy?

Seeing that Zheng qiuda was a little confused, Zhu Dafu explained the matter to him. At this time, Zheng qiuda realized that his fan was probably an imitation of Zhang Daqian. Although the imitation is certainly not as valuable as the original, with Zhang Daqian's fame, Chu Chen would not lose even if he bought it at the price of the original.

Zheng qiuda scratched his head and said, "I'm sure a hundred of them are willing to do the appraisal. As for the transfer, let me think about it."

Listening to what Zheng qiuda said, we all smile. The reason is that Zheng qiuda is too perfectionist and obsessive-compulsive. He is usually fine and easy to make mistakes at critical times.

If there is Zhang Daqian's seal on the fan, Zheng qiuda doesn't think it has anything to do with it, but he doesn't have any seal. In other words, this work is a conscious imitation of Zhang Daqian, which is not very acceptable for him who pursues perfection.

However, Zheng qiuda appreciated this fan in his heart. For a moment, he found it hard to choose. As you can imagine, Zheng qiuda may not be able to sleep well these days.

Uncle Wu said with a smile: "I said Xiao Zheng, your character can also be changed, otherwise we all feel tired for you."

Zheng qiuda said with a bitter smile: "as the saying goes, it's easy to change, but it's hard to change my nature. In fact, I also want to change this problem, but even if I can't change it, I can't! To be honest, because of my fault, I went through it once last year. "

"Lao Zheng, tell me about it?" Five asked curiously.

"You kid, you like to see my jokes." Zheng qiuda smiles and points the old five with her fingers, but she still tells everyone about it.

It turned out that in July last year, Zheng qiuda went to Central Plains province to collect things. When he came back, he saw an old man in his fifties setting up a stall beside the railway station. There were all kinds of things on it, but most of them were fake. As for the rest, Zheng qiuda thought that it was very likely that they were fakes.

As for the reason, it's just because the railway station has always been a place full of dragons and snakes. Even if the old man has real things, he doesn't dare to take them out. Otherwise, if he's not lucky, something may happen.

Although Zheng qiuda estimates that it is very likely that something is fake, the train will not leave until some time. It's a bit boring to wait in the waiting room. So Zheng qiuda squats down to pick and choose from the part that is not fake.

During this period, a statue of Avalokitesvara attracted his attention. It was solemn and dignified, with a kind look. It seemed to overlook all living beings on earth. The pleats are curved, the hair is silky, the sea water lines are fine, the facial shape is mellow, and the look is peaceful.

The overall appearance of this statue is steady and generous, the proportion is symmetrical, and the characterization is exquisite. It is very similar to that made by a master of porcelain sculpture. What makes Zheng qiuda feel incredible is that there is a gourd shaped seal script "he Chaozong" behind the statue of Guanyin.

"Can you pick up a big leak in such a place?"

At that time, Zheng qiuda was really excited, but when he calmed down and observed carefully, he found several tiny features, which could not appear on the real product, which made him somewhat sorry.

As for who imitated it, because of the time, Zheng qiuda didn't have time to judge, so he had a problem in front of him, buy it or not?In fact, apart from a few details, this statue of Avalokitesvara is well imitated. As long as the price is appropriate, no matter what, it will not lose money.

But at this time, Zheng qiuda's old problems have been broken. He thinks that no matter how it is, it's just an imitation. What's more, he thinks about it and finally gives up.

On the train, Zheng qiuda still thought about the statue of Guanyin in his mind. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had lost his sight. There were many imitations of he Chaozong, and some of them were well-known. It would be a pity if the imitators were one of them.

When Zheng qiuda was daydreaming, there was a slightly fat man sitting in front of him. The other side was still holding something wrapped in newspaper. The shape was very similar to the Guanyin statue he had just seen.

"It can't be this coincidence, can it?"

Just when Zheng qiuda was surprised, the other side said hello to him. He introduced himself and said that he was a small businessman. He came here on business. Just now, I saw Zheng qiuda looking at the statue of Guanyin from a distance and finally put it back.

When he was curious, he went over to have a look. He didn't know anything about antiques. He just thought that the statue of Guanyin was very kind. When he thought that there was an old man at home who believed in Buddhism, he thought of going back. The price given by the old man was not expensive. He paid for it without much bargaining.

In the end, he wanted to ask Zheng qiuda to help him.

Anyway, having nothing to do, Zheng qiuda agreed to come down, but when he went out, he was still wary of this man. But after a closer look, he was very depressed, because judging from his experience, this statue of Avalokitesvara should be su Xuejin's imitation of he Chaozong's work.

Su Xuejin was an outstanding porcelain sculptor in Dehua in the late Qing Dynasty, and a leading figure of he school. His porcelain plum blossoms were exhibited in the World Expo and won the prize of excellence. At that time, in recognition of his work to win international honor, Wu chengmi also presented a plaque of "extremely deep research". In addition, his works are also collected in the Forbidden City.

The most important thing is that Su Xuejin imitates the works of he Chaozong, both in form and spirit. When Zheng qiuda looked at the statue carefully, he found that Su Xuejin's own style was added to it. It was a rare one. Can he not be upset?

Finally, Zheng qiuda told the other party the result and asked if he could transfer it. However, he said that it was fate to invite this Guanyin statue. He wanted to collect it himself and declined politely.

At the end, Zheng qiuda sighed: "maybe as he said, I have no fate with that statue."

Looking at Zheng qiuda's regret, Chu Chen thinks that it has nothing to do with fate. The key is that Zheng qiuda is not good at seizing opportunities. Just as he thought before, since he won't lose money if he buys it, why don't he buy it? If it was him, he would buy it even if he didn't have any powers. He would not let the chance slip away in vain.

Lao Wu patted Zheng qiuda on the shoulder and said, "Lao Zheng, don't think about it any more. We've all met this kind of thing, but there are more and less people. However, I'd better advise you to change your temper. No one is perfect. How many things in the world are perfect? "

"Try it."

Zheng qiuda nodded, but from his expression, it is estimated that he is not very interested in this matter. In this regard, we did not say much. After all, life is our own way. As a friend, we can only give advice at most. As for the choice, we can only rely on ourselves.

"Well, say something happy."

Zhu Dafu waved his hand and told us an interesting story in the market, which made everyone laugh. Then, the atmosphere of the scene began to be lively again.

Everyone talked about some industry stories and rumors. Two hours later, just as Zheng qiuda was ready to leave, he received a call from the police station saying that the thief had been caught and asked him to go immediately.

Hang up the phone, Zheng qiuda quickly and everyone said goodbye, and then ready to start, but others have not gone out a few steps, walked back, facing Chu Chen asked: "Xiao Chu, are you busy tomorrow?"

Chu Chen shook his head: "to nothing important."

Zheng qiuda smell speech quickly smile to Chu Chen arched hand, said: "that tomorrow I want to borrow you."

"Lend me that?" Chuchen's expression was a little surprised. He didn't know what Zheng qiuda meant in the final analysis. Other people couldn't figure it out.

"That's what happened." Zheng qiuda said with a smile: "the day before yesterday, through a friend's introduction, I saw a picture of calligraphy in a family. I immediately wanted to buy it, but the other party refused to agree, saying that he didn't believe the price I estimated..."
