Now that Lao Chen knew Chu Chen's intention to buy these two Taishi chairs, he became more alert and thought about whether the price could be higher. Anyway, Baosheng said just now that they are the big boss, so I think so. You wouldn¡¯t want tens of thousands more, would you? If Chu Chen and the others knew that Lao Chen's thoughts and the current appearance of his family were all faked under Lao Chen's command, they would definitely exclaim: "The world has lost another actor and great director! ¡± So the old saying goes, there must be something hateful about poor people, and like father, like son, and it makes sense for a son not to teach his father his fault. "It's okay, it's okay, I'll get it now!" Old Chen originally wanted Chu Chen and the others to buy everything back, but of course he had no objection to Chu Chen's proposal, so he quickly took several more things from a box. Unexpectedly, the first thing was a blue and white bowl with intertwined branches and floral patterns. The blue and white flowers looked green and beautiful, with suitable shades. This made Chu Chen and the others' eyes light up. Chu Chen asked Zhao Qirui to look at it first, while he looked at several other items. Among these items, two were jade pendants, and the other two were Buddha statues and teapots. However, this look immediately gave him some thoughts, and then he looked at Old Chen with a half-smile. Old Chen was frightened by Chu Chen's glance, and he was so frightened that a layer of cold sweat broke out behind his back. When he went to inquire about the price of chairs this time, he realized that antique collection is very popular now, and the prices of many precious items are very astonishing. Perhaps an inconspicuous item can make a family live without worries for food and clothing for a lifetime. This couldn¡¯t help but give him some ideas. In that case, why not buy some fake things. As long as you get through it among the things left by your ancestors, isn't it a profit? To this end, he secretly bought some high-end imitations based on his connections, and after returning home. He also deliberately arranged the room to look like he didn't know what he was talking about. According to his idea, this would undoubtedly make people believe him more. "No way. When I bought it, the person clearly said that if he wasn't an experienced expert, it would be difficult to tell that something was fake. How could this young man know it was fake after just one glance? Could it be that that person was deceived in the first place? Me? Well, that¡¯s it, MA, I¡¯ll definitely settle the score with him next time!¡± In fact, this is the person whom Lao Chen wrongly sold things to. That person's things are indeed very realistic high imitations. In such a dark room, only a very experienced expert can tell the authenticity of something at a glance. But Lao Chen didn't know that Chu Chen not only had amazing eyesight, but also had the artifact "Baojue" for detecting treasures. Just now, Chu Chen used his treasure sense to sense a little, and he knew that among these four things, there were two truths and two lies. One of the jade pendants and the teapot are both fakes. Moreover, after initial observation, he learned that the two items were high imitations, and the key to the forgery of the jade pendant was that it had just been used. It was this jade pendant that made Chu Chen know that at least Lao Chen's statement that the room was only cleaned once a year must have been a lie. Otherwise, could this jade pendant have grown wings and flown in? Thinking of this, Chu Chen thought again about the gloomy and gloomy atmosphere of the old Chen family. It was probably an act of pretense. In the end, there is a question mark as to whether his youngest son really hit someone while driving drunk. Originally, although Lao Chen¡¯s son was in trouble due to drunk driving, we saw that Lao Chen¡¯s family also suffered because of it. Based on his sympathy for the weak, Chu Chen doesn't want to lower the price for something that appeals to him. As long as the price is reasonable, he will buy it. Now that this is the case, Chu Chen has completely abandoned his original idea. He will bargain if he needs to, and there is no need for sympathy and the like. If Lao Chen knew that his little tricks would fundamentally change Chu Chen's thoughts, he would definitely regret it. In fact, if he had not played these tricks, Chu Chen would have made him drink a few more mouthfuls of soup after learning about his family's situation. But precisely because of what he did, his true nature was exposed in front of Chu Chen. If Chu Chen still holds on to his previous thoughts about people who have no integrity, then he is really a fool who has nowhere to spend his money. Chu Chen shook his head secretly, then picked up another jade pendant and observed it. This jade pendant is really good. It should be carefully carved with Hetian seed jade using the carving method. The whole body is decorated with dragon and phoenix bodies with low-relief cirrus patterns, lying silkworm patterns and negative lines. The dragon has a raised head, beautiful beard, exposed teeth, round eyes, leafy ears, and lying limbs. The body of the phoenix is ??finely carved, with long eyes, a pointed beak and a long tail. This jade pendant has a complicated and delicate pattern, which should be the style of the Qing Dynasty, and the workmanship is exquisite. Unsurprisingly, it should be the workmanship of the craftsmen in the manufacturing office at that time. In addition, the frame of the jade pendant is engraved with the Chinese characters "Zigang" in Yang. From the characteristics of patterns, as well as the exquisite workmanship and patina coating, this jade pendant should be made by the Qing Court Manufacturing Office during the Qianlong period. Such exquisite workmanship, the use of fine Hetian seeds, and the jade pendant is very well preserved, can be said to be very rare. Chu Chen is quite satisfied with this jade pendant. You can buy it and play with it. However, a person's energy is limited. He already has the reborn jade cicada. This jade pendant can only be used for collection or communication. . So he planned to ask his uncle's opinion first. If his uncle liked it, he would let him buy it. Otherwise, he would buy it and collect it himself. Putting down the dragon and phoenix jade pendant, Chu Chen originally planned to appreciate the Buddha statue, but Zhao Qirui on the other side called him: "Achen, come here and see how this bowl looks like, I think it's okay." Chu Chen nodded. Then he picked up the bowl Zhao Qirui put on the table and observed it carefully. This bowl has a slightly curved mouth, an arc belly, a straight foot, a dense texture, a natural transition from thick at the bottom to thin at the top, and the sound when knocked is as crisp as a bowl. The inner wall is painted with peonies, lotuses, and chrysanthemum patterns. The inner double circle of the bowl is painted with lotus flowers. All kinds of flowers have small leaves intertwined with branches. The outer edge is painted with a back pattern, the foot wall is connected with a wishful curly grass pattern, and the lower part of the belly is painted with a wishful looking head and lotus pattern. Surrounding it, the theme decoration is the same as that of the inner wall, and the painting on the surface of the vessel is vigorous and free. The base is the six-character regular script official inscription "Xuande Year of the Ming Dynasty" in a double circle. The bowl is made of imported Suma Liqing material. Due to the temperature of the kiln, the blue and white flowers flow and disperse, which is like the rendering effect of Chinese painting on rice paper with ink and blue, and it looks very delicious. The background color is white with a hint of blue, alternating with blue and white. This situation is also a basic feature for judging whether it is Xuande blue and white. Judging from several characteristics, this is indeed an authentic Xuande product, so Chu Chen winked at Zhao Qirui and said: "Uncle, this bowl is pretty good. What, do you want to buy it?" Zhao Qirui At first glance, it was clear that Chu Chen wanted to lower the price, and he immediately said: "I really want to buy it, Achen, do you have any questions?" Hearing this, Lao Chen's heart tightened. Through inquiring, he also knew that these Among all things, this bowl is the most valuable. The hope that his son could come out soon had been placed on this bowl before. He didn't want an accident to happen, so Lao Chen waited intently for Chu Chen's answer. Chu Chen chuckled, glanced at Old Chen, and said vaguely: "It's not a big problem. If the price is right, I can buy it later." Hearing Chu Chen's answer, Old Chen couldn't help but feel relieved. Is there something seriously wrong with your tone? Is there a minor problem then? Thinking of this, Lao Chen looked at the bowl carefully without moving his expression. Looking left and right, he just felt that the green color on it seemed to be a little melted away. He thought to himself, the little problem just mentioned must be this. The ancestors are also true. If you say you have something to keep, then keep it well. Oh, why are there so many defective products left behind? Hey, when it comes time to sell, if it really doesn't work, you can only sell it at a lower price. Chu Chen didn¡¯t expect that his vague words would have such a good effect. If he knew about it, he would definitely laugh proudly. Zhao Qirui was asked to look at the jade pendant, while Chu Chen picked up the remaining Buddha statue. However, after he observed it carefully, he couldn't help but shake his head in disappointment. The workmanship of this Buddha statue was very good, and it looked very much like it was from the Yongxuan period. However, upon closer inspection, it turned out that this Buddha statue was just a high imitation from the Republic of China period. In terms of antiques, although they are valuable, they are not very high. Seeing Chu Chen shaking his head again, Old Chen said anxiously: "Boss Chu, isn't this Buddha statue wrong? This was from before I was born!" Chu Chen smiled and said: "Old Chen, don't be anxious first. , This Buddha statue is indeed an old thing, and the time is indeed as you said, it existed during the Republic of China. However, it was a replica during the Republic of China, and it has value, but it is not what we need. " After listening to Chu Chen. As said, Lao Chen was undoubtedly very depressed, but things were like this, and there was nothing he could do about it, so he asked: "Boss Chu, I would like to ask, how much is this Buddha statue worth?" Chu Chen thought for a while, Said: "Based on its appearance, if you meet someone you like, it can be worth up to 4 out of 100." (4,000 to 6,000) This price makes Lao Chen quite disappointed, but it can only be like this, it is considered Better than nothing. "By the way, Lao Chen, do you have just these few things in your house? Is there anything else?" Chu Chen asked when he saw that Zhao Qirui was still playing with and admiring the jade pendant. "This" Old Chen paused and said, "There is still a painting called Wu Daozi's painting." "What? Wu Daozi?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Qirui couldn't help but put down the jade pendant he was playing with. Looking back, there was a look of surprise on his face.  "Wu Daozi is an extraordinary figure. In the history of painting, he is respectfully called Wu Sheng and was given the name Daoxuan by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. He was honored as the "Sage of Painting" by later generations, and respected as the Patriarch by folk painters. He once served as the captain of Xiaqiu County in Yanzhou. Later, he lived in Luoyang. During the Kaiyuan period, he was called to the court for his good paintings and served successively as enshrined minister, doctor of internal medicine, and friend of Prince Ning. Ning Wangyou, the so-called "friend" does not mean "friend", but an official position, that is, an official in the prince's palace. Only talented and famous people can serve. For example, Li Bai was once a "Ning Wangyou". It can be seen from this title that Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty at that time attached great importance to Wu Daozi.
