Chapter 1097

After everyone ordered, Chen Yingping asked with a smile, "Mr. Chu, you must have had a good harvest today, right?"

Chuchen nodded with a smile: "it's OK."

Chen Yingping's eyes brightened when he heard the speech: "Oh, I don't know if I can enjoy it?"

"No problem..."

With that, Chu Chen took out a few things he had just bought.

Chen Yingping first got the silver lock. After appreciating it, he sighed: "this wide lock is very good!"

Chen Laiming curled his lips and said, "it's not true. It looks so bad. What's good about it?"

Chen Yingping glared at him and said, "what do you know? This is a silver lock of the Song Dynasty."

"What, is this the lock of Song Dynasty?" Chen Laiming looks a little surprised.

Chen Yingping said contemptuously: "thanks to you having bought antiques for so many years, you can't even see the locks of Song Dynasty. No wonder you even bought two fakes."

Chen Laiming shrugged his shoulders: "I admit that my eyesight is not good, but I buy things by the palm master. I can't count those two things on my head if I misjudge them. But don't you see that? "

"Er..." Chen Yingping was a little speechless for a moment. After a while, he said, "even the palm master you invited can't see it. I can't see it. Is it normal for me to hit my eyes?"

Speaking of this, he muttered: "now the level of counterfeiting is so high that I dare not touch the porcelain!"

Chen Laiming said with a smile: "uncle, you don't have to worry about it. Although they have the ability to do things that are fake but not true, the cost is also high. Generally tens of thousands of them will not do it. It's not cost-effective."

Chen Yingping nodded: "this is also true, but the key point is that I have collected a few high-grade Ming and Qing porcelains. With today's discovery, I'm not sure."

"Here it is Chuchen laughed to himself. Just now, he was surprised that his uncle and nephew didn't go on talking about the difficult things at hand. Now after a long talk, he turned around again. It seems that he won't stop if he doesn't let himself see Chen Yingping's collection.

Sure enough, as Chu Chen thought, Chen Laiming said that Chu Chen was there and could ask him for help, and Chen Yingping looked at Chu Chen with embarrassment.

Chuchen said with a smile, "it's on the way anyway, no problem."

"Thank you, thank you..."

Chen Yingping quickly expressed his thanks to Chu Chen. At this time, the waiter began to serve wine and food one after another.

After drinking, the topic turned to the silver lock. Chen Laiming said, "uncle, can you tell me what's good about the lock?"

Chen Yingping laughs: "don't you plan to quit antiques? Why do you know so clearly?"

Chen Laiming said with a smile, "it's true that I'm not going to buy anything in the future, but it's OK to get to know each other."

Chen Yingping said with a smile: "of course, but you'd better ask the curator of Chu. He is an expert in this field."

Chuchen waved his hand with a smile and said, "I don't deserve it. I only know something about ancient locks."

Chen Yingping said: "curator Chu, you are too modest. No matter what, you are stronger than me."

Chen Laiming took over and said, "director of Chu Museum, please give me some advice."

I don't know if he thinks too much. Chu Chen feels that Chen Laiming's actions have other meanings. However, he doesn't think too much. With his powers, he doesn't believe that he can be cheated.

"In fact, the collection value of ancient locks is determined by the age, material, technology and scarcity."

"First, the age. Generally speaking, the older the collection is, the more valuable it is. However, for many reasons, the locks of song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties are more valuable. In particular, copper locks in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties have made great progress in both practical value and artistic level, and many fine locks have emerged. "

"Second, materials. Ancient locks are divided into wood locks, gold locks, silver locks, jade locks, copper locks, iron locks, stone locks, cloisonne locks, etc. The more valuable the material, the higher the value of the lock. For example, gold, silver and jade locks are more valuable than copper, iron and wood locks. "

"Third, technology. Chinese traditional locks are made by handicraft. The more exquisite and complicated the craft, the higher the value of locks. From the technical level, ancient locks can be divided into flat carving, through carving, hollow carving, flower carving, gilding, gold inlaying, gilding, inlaying and mold casting. The intricate and lifelike patterns have high artistic value. "

"Fourth, scarcity. Rare things are precious, and ancient locks are no exception. Those rare password locks, character locks, hidden door locks, flip locks, and all kinds of lifelike character locks and animal locks are of higher value. "

Speaking of this, Chu Chen took out the silver lock just now and said, "for example, my silver lock is exquisite in workmanship and lacks no parts. In addition, some parts still have traces of gilding. It's just that some parts are not kept in place for a long time, resulting in gilding. In addition, there are serious traces of oxidation, so the value should be discounted. But tens of thousands of dollars are worth it. ""Oh." Chen Laiming suddenly nodded: "I didn't expect that it's just a humble lock. It's so valuable. It seems that the ancient lock I left behind may be a treasure!"

Chen Yingping was a little surprised and said, "what ancient locks do you have in your family? Why haven't I seen them?"

He shrugged his shoulders and thought, "it's the same thing that you can't use when you take out the lock

Chen Yingping shook his head and said, "you are too ignorant. It's called three palm lock. It's a rare lock. What's the relationship between bad lock and bad lock?"

In fact, in addition to the common front and back locks, there are many strange and rare locks, such as the three palm lock. For example, the "Yuanyang lock" which needs two keys to open at the same time, the mechanism lock which needs four keys to open on all sides, and the "Cangshi lock" which needs to close the poem. Such a rare lock is naturally more popular with collection investors.

After hearing this, Chen Laiming was very surprised and said, "that is to say, my lock may also be a treasure?"

Chen Yingping said: "baobubao, you have to see it before you know."

Chen Laiming said with a shy face and a smile, "curator of Chu, I don't know if you can go to my house to have a look!"

"This bureau, you do too obvious?"

Chuchen sneered to himself and then asked, "Mr. Chen, I don't know where you live?"

"I live about twenty or thirty minutes' drive from my uncle."

"Is it the way to the capital?"

Chen Laiming shook his head. Chu Chen was embarrassed and said, "Mr. Chen, I'm sorry. In the morning, my elder martial brother called me and asked me to deal with something urgent. Let me go back to the capital early. If you go to Mr. Chen, I'm afraid it's too late to go back to your house! "

"Er..." Chen Laiming was stunned and said with a smile, "since it's not a coincidence, let's talk about it next time."

Chu Chen said with an apologetic smile: "sorry, Baozhou is not far from the capital. If you have time, you can also go to the capital to see me. By the way, you can visit tourists."

"Yes." Chen Yingping said: "you've been focusing on antiques these years. The last time you met Xiaoju, she complained to me. You haven't taken her out for a long time. When you have time, you should really take them to the capital. "

Chen Laiming said with a smile: "OK, I'll take them to the capital after this period of time. Then I'll have to harass the head of the Chu Museum."

Chuchen said with a smile: "no problem, you can come to me at that time..."

After another chat, Chu Chen put the silver lock back into the plastic bag.

"Well, your plastic bag is a bit broken." Where Chen Laiming sits, he can see the plastic bags.

"Where?" Chu Chen looked for it and found that the bag was broken, so he asked the waiter to take another one and prepare to hold it first.

After waiting for the waiter to come back, Chu Chen checked the contents of the bag first, so as not to put it in a bad way and stab the bag again.

When Chu Chen took out an object, Chen Laiming was surprised and said, "well, this bangs play gold toad ornament is interesting. It's four legged."

Chen Yingping saw speechless way: "how can the Golden Toad be four legged, this is a fake?"

But then again, how could Chu Chen buy a fake? Therefore, uncle and nephew both looked at Chu Chen strangely.

"In fact, I bought these things from the same person..." Chuchen laughed and said the story of Wen Haoyang.

Chen Yingping said indignantly: "hum! That unscrupulous businessman is really nothing. In fact, if I were you, I would sue him! "

"How much better are you than boss Gong?"

Chuchen sneers in his heart, but Wen Haoyang may win if he goes to sue boss Gong. After all, he clearly says that the fake is true, which is deliberate fraud. He will definitely lose if he goes to court, but the key is how Wen Haoyang proves it, which is a difficult problem.

Chen Laiming said: "however, I think that Wen Haoyang is really stupid. He believes in each other so much, and he is so ignorant that he doesn't even know that the Golden Toad has only three legs."

Chuchen ha ha a smile: "actually, this thing is not nothing."

"How can I see it?" Chen Yingping asked.

Chu Chen explained: "first of all, the workmanship of this thing is not only good, but also quite exquisite..."

As Chu Chen said, the overall effect of this ornament is really good except for its four legs. The whole piece is made of bronze gilt and toads are made of enamel. The upper part of the piece is painted with bangs, wearing green clothes and trousers. The chest and face are painted with gold, and the wine pot is hung behind them, smiling. Toad's body is painted with Shoumian pattern, Babao pattern and copper coin.The shape and proportion of the object are very exquisite and lovely. The decorative effect is very strong. It has the style of copper wire enamel in Qianlong period. Unfortunately, it's a four legged toad. In addition, the toad's mouth is half open, and there is a gold-plated bead in it, which is quite nondescript.

Chen Yingping observed the things and said, "in terms of craftsmanship, people who make things are really skilled craftsmen. However, the Golden Toad can't be four legged. It's a matter of common sense. It's like asking Tang monk to hold Monkey King's golden cudgel. Surely everyone will think it's ridiculous?"

Chuchen nodded with a smile: "yes, it's really a common sense problem, but the strange thing is that the original owner didn't think there was anything wrong, and often offered incense. Isn't it strange?"

Chu Chen said that his uncle and nephew's faces were full of surprise. They quickly observed carefully and found that there were obvious traces of incense on the surface of things, which had to be formed after a long time of worship. This really made them feel very strange.

Just like what everyone thinks is right, some people do wrong and don't say it, but there are other people who agree with it. To say that this person is not clear at the beginning, but after a long time, he will always find the problem, but the result is not like this. Do you think it's strange?

So, why is there such a contrary phenomenon? Generally, some people with brains will think that there is something wrong with this ornament, so they look at Chu Chen again.

Chu Chen shook his head and said, "I haven't got this thing for a long time. I really don't know what it is. I'm going to study it again when I get back. "

Then he put the things back into the bag. You know, it's a valuable treasure. If it wasn't too big for his handbag, he would have collected it well. As for why he said something special, it was also because he couldn't restrain his excitement. Otherwise, he didn't want to mention it on such an occasion.

Seeing that Chu Chen put the things back, their faces were a little strange. But after a while, they came back to their senses. Zhao Yingping said with a smile, please tell them when Chu Chen has the result, so as to satisfy their curiosity.

Chuchen agreed with a smile, but he had no intention to say it

After dinner, we took Hu Yong's car and came to Zhao Yingping's house. We signed an agreement with Zhao Laiming and completed the transaction. Then, we identified the porcelains mentioned by Zhao Yingping and found no problem.

Originally, Zhao Yingping wanted Chu Chen to identify other collections, but seeing that Chu Chen was in a hurry to leave, he told Chu Chen with a smile that he would go to the capital to identify Chu Chen later, and Chu Chen agreed with him with a smile

As the car was driving towards the capital, Hu Yong asked, "brother Chu, what are these two guys up to?"

Chu Chen shook his head: "who knows what they are up to."

To say, apart from being followed, there was no accident, and some treasures, especially the ornaments, were unexpected. This is totally beyond Chu Chen's expectation. It's not necessarily to get to know uncle and nephew Chen Yingping, right?

Hu Yong also thought so, he said: "are these two people still ready to put a long line to hang big fish?"

"It's not so stupid, is it?" Chu Chen shook his head. With the brains of CAI Jianxuan's group, they should not do the same thing to him. Without saying anything else, they should also know that it's very difficult to succeed to use this tactic to deal with him.

What's more, the "weirdo" should have guessed that Chu Chen had recognized that he was on guard. In this case, this move had no effect on Chu Chen.

In that case, why does the other party still have this idea? Is it just to do business with chuchen? But those things are very popular in the market. Why sell them to chuchen? These are questions that Chu Chen and Hu Yong can't understand.

"Forget it, don't worry about them. The soldiers will stop them. The water will come and the earth will cover them..."

There was nothing wrong all the way. When Chu Chen came home, he was just in time for dinner. However, the first thing he did when he came home was to feel Wu Ke's pulse. He found that his pulse was steady and he was still asking questions. This made everyone laugh that he was more wordy than the old woman.

After dinner, Chu Chen simply told you about his trip to Baozhou. After listening to this, we all couldn't understand Chu Chen's doubts.

Wu Ke said: "maybe this is not the idea of CAI Jianxuan."

Chu Chen shook his head: "they don't know my identity. Cai Jianxuan will know the plan to deal with me."

Zhao Yunlin said: "no matter what happened to them, I have only one request. You must protect yourself. You have a wife and children."

Chu Chen nodded solemnly: "Mom, don't worry, I won't make fun of my own safety."

After getting Chu Chen's statement, although we were more or less worried, we were more or less relieved.

At this time, Chu Yulan said: "brother, didn't you just say that there was a strange ornament? Show it to us. ""OK, I'll get it right away..."

With that, Chu Chen took out the ornament and put it on the table. Everyone was surprised.

Chu Yu Lan Jiao said with a smile: "hee hee, it's so funny that there are still people who make four legged toads. Is this a toad that hasn't broken its leg?"

Chuchen said with a smile, "of course it's impossible. It's the style of the Qing Dynasty. No matter what, as long as people have some common sense, they all know that bangs play the Golden Toad. It's a three legged Golden Toad."

Chu Yulan laughed: "in this case, it must be made by people who have no common sense."

Wu Ke answered: "is the worshiper also without common sense?"

Chu Yulan said with a smile: "it's very simple. It's the same person who made and worshiped."

Chuchen said with a smile: "not to mention, this Golden Toad may have been made by the owner himself."

"Ah! I'm really right Chu Yulan was a little surprised.

Chu Chen nodded: "yes, or you think, if this thing is really used to hide some treasure, the owner may not be at ease to let others help make it. Of course, it is also possible that this is what he asked the craftsman to do. "

"Anyway, there's a treasure in it." With that, Chu Yulan took the things into her hands, kept looking and shaking them, but she didn't hear any noise, which made her a little disappointed.

"No, has the baby been taken away? Or do you want to break this thing? "

"How can that be?" Zhao Yunlin shook her head: "although the production of this thing is against common sense, it's also very good-looking. If it's destroyed like this, it's a pity!"

"If you can't break it, how can you see if there are any treasures in it?" Chu Yulan frowned slightly and pondered.

"You say, can baby be this bead?" At this time, I heard Wu Ke speak his own opinion.

"Why do you think so?" Chu Chen asked

Wu laughably said, "it's very simple. A Golden Toad usually has a copper coin in its mouth. It has a bead in its mouth. Don't you think it's like there's no silver here?"

"Yes! It's really possible! " With that, Chu Yulan took the bead in the mouth of the Golden Toad in her hand and wanted to take it down, but with seven or eight points of strength, the bead did not move. For fear of damaging the bead, she did not dare to use brute force, and was a little worried for a moment.

"What's the matter? Are you guessing wrong, sister-in-law, or do you have to use tools?"

"Let me see..." Chu Chen asked his sister for something and made a careful observation. After a while, he said softly: "this place seems to protrude a little..."

With that, Chu Chen pressed down hard. With the sound of "wave", the bead fell from the Golden Toad's mouth. Fortunately, he had a quick eye and a quick hand, so he grasped it and avoided the risk of breaking into pieces.

This scene made everyone feel a little surprised. They asked for the beads one after another. However, because it was gilded outside, they could not see anything special.

"The gilding outside should be camouflage, or try to remove it?" Chu Yulan is eager to try.

"OK, then try."

Chuchen nodded with a smile, because he was afraid of using tools to remove damage to the baby, he simply used his nails. It's convenient to remove the gilding layer. After a while, Chu Chen removed a piece of it, and the things below were exposed.

"Light, this thing GLOWS!" Zhao Yunlin said in surprise.

Although the exposed area is small, it looks shining, just like a fluorescent lamp, emitting a strong light, really more like a night pearl.

"Hey! After a long time, it turned out to be a night Pearl Chu Yulan disappointed said, for others, the night pearl is indeed more precious, but for her, there is nothing strange.

At this time, Zhao Yunlin suddenly became nervous and said to Wu Ke: "coco, you go to one side quickly!"

At the beginning, everyone was a little surprised. However, it immediately occurred to us that the reason why some night pearls shine is because of radioactive substances. Although there may not be many such substances, God knows what effect they have on the fetus.

Thinking of this, Wu Ke got nervous and ran to one side. Although Chu Chen knew the real image, he didn't stop it, because he didn't know how it was formed. If it was harmful, it would be hurt.
