    Seeing everyone nodding, Chu Chen continued: "Most of the ancient jade there are old. If it is during the day, you can see it at a glance. In such an environment, you will be blind if you are not careful. And the ghost market  There are a lot of high-end imitations, and it¡¯s even harder to find them in this environment, so you have to be very careful and don¡¯t rush to buy something you like.¡± After hearing what Chu Chen said, the three young people who had never been to the ghost market said.  , all looked dejected. Those ancient jades just looked like real ones. How come they were all fake?  And according to what he said, there are even more powerful imitations, so how can they get their hands on it?  It seems that this ghost market is really not a place for beginners like them.  Seeing them like this, Chu Chen quickly smiled and said: "Haha, don't be discouraged. I just want you to look more and buy less. If you come across something you like, aren't there still us people here?" Three  When people thought about it, it was true. Anyway, I didn't expect my own eyesight. I would definitely bother Chu Chen and the others before buying it, and my interest suddenly became high again.  Next, the six of them visited five or six stalls. Although they didn't buy anything, Li Guodong and the others learned a lot from Chu Chen's explanation.  "Hey!" Everyone came to a stall. Chu Yulan was immediately attracted by something, and then squatted in front of the stall to observe it carefully.  Chu Chen followed her gaze and saw that it was a piece of soapstone, and it looked like that.  The stall in front of you is also quite unique. The items on it are all small items, such as the four treasures of the study, seals, snuff bottles and so on.  Seeing this, everyone picked up what they liked, and the stall owner didn't say anything, just looked at them with a smile.  Chu Yulan frowned and looked at the soapstone seal material in her hand for three or four minutes. Then she felt a little satisfied and handed it to Chu Chen to look at it for her.  Soapstone is a cinnabar-striped earth stone, and its color is brighter red than cinnabar.  Because its color is as bright red as chicken blood, it is commonly known as chicken blood stone.  The production of chicken bloodstone is quite limited. The most famous chicken blood stones are named according to their place of origin: Changhua chicken blood stone in my country and Bahrain chicken blood stone.  There is an ancient legend about the birth of chicken blood stone. According to ancient people, there was a kind of divine bird in ancient times called "bird lion", which was very aggressive by nature.  One day, while looking for food, I flew over Yuyan Mountain and saw a phoenix hatching its eggs. I suddenly had evil thoughts and attacked it.  Unprepared, Huang's leg was bitten off.  Feng arrived after hearing the news, and together they defeated the "bird and lion" with the same hatred.  Although the phoenix won, its blood flowed out and dyed the entire Yuyan Mountain red, turning it into a chicken blood stone as shiny as jade.  According to detailed research, the mining of chicken blood stone began in the Song Dynasty, and became famous in the Qing Dynasty. Emperors such as Kangxi, Qianlong, and Jiaqing greatly appreciated Changhua chicken blood stone and used it as the main seal material for their seals.  Therefore, it is tied with Shoushan Tianhuang and enjoys the reputation of "Queen of Seal Stones".  Because the quality of chicken blood stone is high and the price is high, there are many counterfeiters.  Like this piece of chicken blood stone, when Chu Chen got started, his powers still responded, but its weight felt a little different from the chicken blood stone he had encountered before. Looking at the texture and layers, he could basically judge that this piece of chapter material was not a real piece of blood stone.  of chicken bloodstone, so he shook his head slightly towards Chu Yulan.  Chu Yulan was quite confident in Chu Chen¡¯s vision. When he saw his rejection, she felt a little disappointed, but she still put the bloodstone back to its place.  "Xiao Chen, come and take a look at this snuff bottle." Li Guodong handed the snuff bottle in his hand to Chu Chen.  As soon as the snuff bottle came into hand, Chu Chen's eyes lit up.  This is a crystal-painted snuff bottle. The bottle is in the shape of a long flat bottle, with a straight mouth and shoulders, an oval ring foot, and a dignified shape.  The theme of the painting is the landscape of the Four Kings. The painting is exquisite and the artistic conception is profound, which shows the author's superb painting skills.  Finally, the inscription on the bottom of the pot is "written by Zhou Leyuan in the spring of Xin Mao".  Chu Chen also knew about Zhou Leyuan. He was active during the Guangxu period. This palace lantern painter and master of gauze lanterns was a master of Beijing style interior painting. He had high literary literacy and painting attainments.  His interior paintings are vigorous in style and rigorous in brushstrokes. They mostly imitate the works of famous artists such as Huang Shi Gu and Xinluo Sanren. He also applied Gong Banqian's Fanshi to the interior paintings, such as "Fishing for Snow on the Cold River" and "Returning to the Boat in the Wind and Snow".  , "Bamboo Art Picture" and other internally painted pots are regarded as divine products.  His works cover a wide range of subjects, including landscapes, figures, flowers and birds, grass and insects, and calligraphy, all of which are exquisite.  The color of the work is mainly light blue, which is elegant and pleasant, but it is also embellished with red, orange, green, white and other colors, which is vivid and bright.  He is especially good at landscape painting, blending the beauty of landscape paintings from the Song, Yuan and Ming dynasties.  This snuff bottle, no matter from any aspect, should be an authentic work of Zhou Leyuan, and the results of the supernatural appraisal are also the same. Moreover, this is a masterpiece drawn by him.  At this time, otherNeither of them picked out the items they were satisfied with and had already stood up, so Chu Chen thought for a while and pretended to say: "Brother Li, thank you very much. I am quite satisfied with this snuff bottle. Boss, please set a price."  "The boss looked at the snuff bottle in Chu Chen's hand and said: "Five thousand." Hearing the price, Chu Chen felt happy. The boss didn't know the goods, so he stretched out a finger and pointed upward.  Yang.  Seeing this, the boss smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, you are too cruel. This price will definitely not be enough. Please add more." Chu Chen smiled, made a thousand and six gesture, and then said: "That's it.  The price is set, boss, please let me know." After saying that, he looked like he was about to leave.  ¡°Come on, this thing is yours.¡± The boss quickly replied.  I thought to myself, this young man's money is easy to make. What he brought for a hundred and fifty dollars was resold and he made a profit of one thousand, four hundred and fifty. This man is a complete loser.  He took out his wallet, counted sixteen red notes, handed them to the boss, then put the snuff bottle directly into his pocket, then smiled and said hello to the boss, and happily left the stall with the others.  .  After walking a certain distance, Chu Chen handed the snuff bottle to Li Guodong, and told him some information about Zhou Leyuan, and then said with a smile: "The price of the painted snuff bottles produced by Zhou Leyuan is quite good. Just last year, one  A snuff bottle made by Zhou Leyuan that was similar to it was auctioned for 66,000 yuan." When Li Guodong heard this, he grinned from the corners of his mouth to the back of his ears. He quickly returned the money to Chu Chen, and then gently stroked the snuff bottle.  A snuff bottle.  Seeing this, everyone laughed secretly in their hearts. Wen Yuting gave him a white look and said angrily: "Death look!" After laughing, Chu Chen turned to Chu Yulan and explained: "Xiaolan, that piece of chicken blood stone just now  , you should feel that the chicken blood on it is a bit stiff, right? This should be faked by the inlay method. "The inlay method is to use a good-quality Changshi seal and select a few eye-catching places.  Dig out small pits of different depths, and then embed them with red mercury sulfide paint. After they dry naturally, they are then polished and waxed.  However, this kind of embedded chicken blood (mercuric sulfide) has no layers. At the same time, the color of the intersection between the blood and the stone appears stiff and there is no transition.  Chu Yulan thought for a while, it was really like that, no wonder she always felt a little awkward looking at it.  Next, after visiting a few stalls, Chu Yulan found another Tianhuang stone stamp material. This piece of stamp material was pretty good, but the boss asked for 150,000 yuan. Chu Chen frowned and quickly stopped him.  Chu Yulan walked away with the others without paying back the price.  "Brother Chu, what's wrong? I think that piece of material is pretty good." After walking some distance, Chu Yulan asked a little strangely.  Chu Chen smiled and said: "Xiaolan, that piece of material is good, but it's worth at most 20,000. He asked for 150,000. This price is impossible to negotiate at all. You have to know, it's like buying and selling in the ghost market.  , just like in the form of small commodities, he has made a price, and if you make a counter-offer, he may not let you go, and others will not care about you. " "To avoid unnecessary trouble, remember it next time.  , If you come to the ghost market and encounter someone with such a high price, don¡¯t open your mouth and just go straight. This is especially true after hearing what Chu Chen said.  Lan and the three of them were all surprised. They didn't expect that there were such twists and turns in the ghost market. As students in the ivory tower, they couldn't even imagine it.  Before they could wake up, they heard a noise not far away. Seeing this, everyone walked over curiously.  "What's the matter with you? I've obviously made a price and you've acquiesced. Why do you say you won't buy it if you don't want to buy it?" I saw a man with a deer head and rat eyes, holding a small bronze tripod in his left hand, and a small bronze tripod in his right hand.  A young man said angrily.  "I didn't, so I went over with you to have a look, and I didn't say anything at all!" The young man was sweating profusely.  The man said fiercely: "What, you still want to cheat? See if my brother agrees." As soon as he finished speaking, three strong men surrounded him.  "Hey" Just as Chu Yulan wanted to speak out, she was pulled away by Chu Chen. After he was some distance away, he said: "Xiaolan, it's better for us to stay less involved in this kind of thing."  "Why, that person obviously bought and sold by force!" Chu Yulan didn't understand.  "That's right. I don't think that man is a good person with a deer-headed and rat-like appearance. And if you look at the things in his hands, they are tattered and so ugly. You can tell at a glance that they are not good things." Wen Yuting also had a look on her face.  An angry expression.    Chu Chen smiled bitterly and said: "You two, calm down first. Think about it, this kind of thing is justified by the public and the mother-in-law, so why should we take care of it? But you can rest assured, they are the ones who  No one dares to make a big deal out of it. At most, if you scare the young man, more market managers will intervene. "
