Zhao Qirui saw Duan Xuefeng's happy look and said with a smile: "If this bronze gui goes up for auction, it will definitely cost two hundred if it is sold well. Do you think you will make a profit? Xuefeng, you are also unlucky. I don¡¯t even know the name of this thing, but I can actually make a profit from it. I don¡¯t know where you got this thing from.¡± ¡°Brother Zhao, when I bought it, I promised that person not to reveal the seller. His name, so" Duan Xuefeng said hesitantly and embarrassedly. Seeing his appearance, Zhao Qirui pointed at him and said with a smile: "You, the seller doesn't want to show up when selling antiques. This is very common in the antique industry. What's there to be embarrassed about?" Duan Xuefeng chuckled and said, "I Don't you understand?" At this time, Chu Chen said hesitantly: "Well Brother Duan, I don't know if I should say something or not!" Seeing this, Duan Xuefeng quickly said: "Xiao Chu, is this the thing? If you have any questions, just ask." "If I read it correctly, it should be a freshly made one." "Ah! No way!" Hear. Here, Zhao Qirui said in surprise, and then immediately observed the bronze Gui carefully. "Wait a minute, what are you talking about?" Duan Xuefeng said with some confusion. Chu Chen explained to him: "We know that bronze vessels are buried underground. Over time, the surface will naturally rust layer by layer due to qualitative changes caused by various chemical reactions, forming green, red, or green surfaces. Either blue or purple rust color. This kind of rust color is solid and has a natural changeability. ""This state is reflected in newly unearthed bronze wares, and in the antique industry, this kind of bronze wares is called "raw". Of course, those bronze vessels that have been unearthed for several years but still remain in the same state as when they were newly unearthed, and whose surfaces have not been contaminated by dust, oil, etc., and have not undergone any artificial treatment, are also called "pits." " "The "ripened pit" refers to ancient bronzes that have been handed down from ancient times or unearthed for a long time. Due to frequent appreciation, the raised parts on the surface of the bronzes are rubbed by hands to show a bright and ripe state. This is called "ripened pit". "In addition, in order to make the bronzes more beautiful and prevent the corroded objects from rusting and deteriorating, some collectors wash the "pitted" bronzes, use reasonable chemical methods to remove the patina, and coat them with wax. , so that the surface is bright and dazzling, and the bottom layer can still maintain a rich color. This is also called "cooked" "Most of the handed down items we see in museums are generally treated in this way, which is both beautiful and beautiful. No worries. Because some people don't understand how beautiful the "raw pot" becomes as "new" after treatment, so when they visit the museum, they will think that these are imitations. " After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Duan Xuefeng suddenly realized. He said: "I used to think that the things in the museum were imitations. After hearing your words today, Xiao Chu, it opened my eyes. However, since this thing of mine is familiar, it is not fake. There shouldn't be any problem, right?" After Zhao Qirui inspected the bronze gui, he said: "The problem is that there is no problem, but have you ever thought about why he made the thing mature? " " What else could it be? Wait, are you saying that he deliberately made the thing into a heirloom? In other words, did he dig it up? "At the end, Duan Xuefeng couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face. Chu Chen waved his hand and said: "It can't be said that you are 100% sure that you will meet a local master, but this thing should have been matured not long ago. In addition, he asked you not to tell other sellers, and his motives are very questionable, so It's very likely that it's a local master. " "Xiao Chu, how can you tell that this thing has not been made for a long time?" Duan Xuefeng asked. Zhao Qirui laughed and said: "You don't need to tell Xiao Chu about this. I can see it. In order to imitate the naturally formed pits as much as possible, this bronze gui has been somewhat processed to the smell of chemical potions, but maybe it's Because of the rush of time, this aspect was not done thoroughly enough. Although the smell is gone in most places, you can still smell it in some places, whether it is light or strong. Xuefeng, you can come and smell it. " " Duan Xuefeng came forward. After smelling the places Zhao Qirui pointed to, he nodded and said: "Well, there is such a phenomenon, but this doesn't prove that it was done recently, right?" "If this was done a long time ago, then why didn't he "How can these details be handled better?" Zhao Qirui asked back, then pointed to a place next to the four animal ears and said: "I won't talk about it at all. The key is the rust spots here. He hastily, It has not been cleaned. Based on my experience, this bronze Gui should not have been unearthed for long.?, it goes without saying that it takes a long time to make a mature workshop, Xiao Chu, am I right? " Chu Chen nodded and said: "Haha, Brother Zhao, you are right. The most important thing is the rust spot. It doesn't seem to have been unearthed for a long time. Otherwise, with the current climate, there will definitely be some changes. No. As it is now, it still looks like it was when it was unearthed. " "This" By this time, Duan Xuefeng also knew that this thing was probably just unearthed. He scratched his forehead, with a troubled expression on his face. He was not afraid of meeting a local master, but this thing was actually a bit valuable. If something happens, you can keep the things, but you have to pay some favors, which is really not cost-effective. But now that you have bought the things, you will definitely not be able to return them. What happens in the future can only be done by yourself. Thinking of this, Duan Xuefeng couldn't help but sigh and said: "That boy Yu Guangjie, you have left a hot potato for me! " Zhao Qirui was stunned when he heard this. After looking at Chu Chen, he asked: "Xue Feng, was this bronze gui sold to you by Yu Guangjie? " Duan Xuefeng shook his head and said: "He didn't sell it to me, he introduced someone to me. A month ago, he came over to buy a car. I heard that he was going to open an auction company. I happened to want to buy an antique as a gift at that time, so I asked him about it, and then he introduced me to the person who sold me this thing. . Brother Zhao, is there something wrong with Yu Guangjie? " Zhao Qirui thought for a while and said, "I can't say for sure, it's just a guess made by me and Xiao Chu. " Duan Xuefeng said quickly: "Brother Zhao, just tell me. If you don't tell us, how will we know? If Yu Guangjie really has a problem, I should be more careful when contacting him. " "Okay then" Zhao Qirui thought that what Duan Xuefeng said made sense, so he briefly explained the doubts discovered in the black market before. "Although Xiao Chu and I have not seen Yu Guangjie and Yu Guangjie with our own eyes. Is there any connection between those group of local masters, but several things happened too coincidental, so he can't escape suspicion. Coupled with your incident this time, I think there is something wrong with him even more. " After listening to what Zhao Qirui said, Duan Xuefeng also nodded and said: "Brother Zhao, after listening to what you said, I think there is probably something wrong with this boy Yu Guangjie. If he really has contact with the Tufuzi, how can he do this? Sooner or later something will happen, or maybe he'll be another cheater. "This sentence made everyone chuckle. At this time, Chu Yulan said: "Uncle, let me just say that Yu Guangjie is not a good person, right? My mother also said that Yu Guangjie is good. Fortunately, uncle, you helped me push forward the marriage. Otherwise, I still don¡¯t know what my situation would be like now. " Zhao Qirui laughed and said: "This is called knowing people but not knowing their hearts. Yu Guangjie was honest and kind in front of my sister at the beginning, and with Zhou Zhen on the side who kept talking, she certainly thought Yu Guangjie was pretty good. " Hearing this, Chu Chen suddenly said: "Brother Zhao, I asked you why Yu Guangjie is hostile to you. So that's what happened! " "Uncle, I'm really sorry for causing you such unreasonable disaster. " Zhao Qirui waved his hand and said: "I am your uncle, what is there to be sorry for? On the contrary, from this incident, it can also be seen that Yu Guangjie is not a good character, and my original decision was correct. " Chu Yulan said angrily when she heard this: "Huh, I don't have a good impression of their family anyway, and the person named Zhou is not a good person. He has always been very enthusiastic towards me when I didn't refuse him before. When I refused, people were still the same as before. They treated me lukewarmly, made fun of me, and sometimes said some unpleasant things to me. It was really annoying. I don¡¯t know how my mother could bear it. her. " Zhao Qirui shook his head and said helplessly: "Zhou Zhen is like this. She is utilitarian at heart. She will only look good on people who are useful to her. But she does a good job on the surface. Even if she does something outrageous, my sister is soft-hearted and will forget about it in a few days. Xiaolan, if you have time, please advise my sister to have less contact with women like Zhou Zhen. ¡± Chu Yulan had nothing to do about this. Her mother had such a good temper, rarely got angry, was very kind to others, and was even more caring and considerate towards her relatives. It was precisely because of this that she was adopted from the orphanage. After that, she would integrate into the current family so quickly. Thinking of this, Chu Yulan decided that she could no longer be so selfish, and she must resolve the matter with Chu Chen as soon as possible. During that conversation, it was discovered that Chu Chen had a deep misunderstanding of what had happened. She could only clearly see the complex emotions in Chu Chen's eyes when he talked about it, so she felt that if this happened.Telling your parents directly might not be a good idea. If Brother Chu is really the lost son of his parents, and the two parties come into contact, if Brother Chu conflicts with his parents due to misunderstanding, although the parents will be happy because they have found their son, such a result will also make the parents feel sad. Even more uncomfortable, this situation is not what I want. ¡°I¡¯d better start with Brother Chu first, and I¡¯ll try my best to explain the misunderstanding clearly when the time comes.
