Now that he knew it was Zhang Huoni's work, Chu Chen definitely couldn't let go of this clue, so he turned around and asked Du Houdao: "Mr. Du, I wonder if you would like to take this flat bottle for testing?" Du Without even thinking about it, Hou said with a serious face: "Test! It must be tested! I think that although my eyesight is not very good, it is still better than ordinary players. I can't even tell that these are fakes. Not to mention them, if such people are not eradicated early, when counterfeit goods become rampant, it will inevitably cause panic in our antique collecting community, and then everyone in the industry will not be able to survive alone. " Hearing what Du Hou said, While Chu Chen and Uncle Wu were happy for Du Hou's decision, they couldn't help but have worried looks on their faces. It had been a long time since Zhang Huoni's successor was discovered, but there were no clues at all. How much more should be known? One day, there is a little more chance of what Du Hou just said happening. However, the investigation was not something they could intervene in. Chu Chen felt a little powerless when he thought about it. Fortunately, there is another clue now. If the flat bottle in front of me is really made by Zhang Huoni's descendant, then the middle-aged man Du Hou mentioned may have had or had indirect contact with "Zhang Huoni" , maybe you can find the mastermind by following the clues. Thinking of this, Chu Chen quickly said: "Mr. Du, let's go get tested now!" "Xiao Chu, you are too anxious!" Du Hou laughed and said: "It's almost four o'clock now, let's get tested The door of the institution is closed, so let¡¯s wait until tomorrow!¡± Chu Chen scratched his head in embarrassment and said, ¡°Okay, let¡¯s go tomorrow!¡± ¡°Hey!¡± Du Hou looked at the table. After putting on the three pieces of porcelain, he couldn't help but sigh and said sadly: "Now that I think about it, this scam started when the middle-aged man walked into my friend's antique shop. Those porcelain pieces were just traps. It¡¯s just a bait. I jumped in by myself, I¡¯m so stupid!¡± ¡°And when I saw the middle-aged man¡¯s wife, I felt very strange. The woman was too young in appearance. She was not a good match for the middle-aged man at all. When the two of them were quarreling, the woman mentioned that she often couldn't even see her children because the middle-aged man robbed graves. I also felt that her expression was a bit fake. " " But I didn't take these two things to heart because I was too tired. If I had thought more about it, I might not have stepped on the "land mine". "Du Hou shook his head and said, "Actually, fifty. Wan is nothing to me, the most important thing is that I pity these three pieces of Yuan Qinghua!" Seeing Du Hou's frowning expression. Chu Chen could only comfort him. He really couldn't be of much help in this kind of matter. He might as well let him transfer his Yuan blue and white flowers to Du Hou. You must know that he also likes people who collect ceramics. , but was reluctant to transfer his precious Yuanqinghua to others. At this time, Uncle Wu suddenly asked: "By the way, Mr. Du. Have you told your friend who owns an antique shop about the native master you heard about?" Du Hou heard what Uncle Wu said Asked, he was a little confused at first, but he reacted instantly and said with surprise: "You mean, my friend was also involved in this matter?" At this point, he pondered. Got up, after a while. He took a long breath and said angrily: "When you said that, I remembered that I did talk to him about that matter. The key is that he is also very good at porcelain. I just took a look at it. After taking a quick look, he felt that there was something wrong with the porcelain pieces. The items were placed directly in front of him. How could he not see that they were good goods? " "And usually, he would take a good look at the porcelain pieces before making a decision. How could he just wave that person away! It seems that he must be involved in the trick. Maybe he is the mastermind. I usually treat him well, but he actually did this. This kind of thing, it¡¯s really hard to know someone¡¯s face but not their heart!¡± At the end of the sentence, Du Hou couldn¡¯t help but sigh up to the sky. Chu Chen quickly tried to persuade him: "Mr. Du, things are already like this. No matter how sad you are, it won't help. In fact, if you think about it on the bright side, spending half a million to see a friend's true face is not really a loss. , if you are still in the dark now, maybe he will bring you greater losses in the future" After listening to Chu Chen's persuasion, Du Hou pondered for a while and said: "Xiao Chu, what did you say? It does make sense. I originally planned to come and scold him, but now that I think about it, it¡¯s not necessary. It¡¯s really not worth getting angry with this kind of person. If the anger damages the body, it¡¯s really not worth the gain!¡± Chu Chen He smiled slightly and said: "There is really no need to get angry with this kind of person. Don't forget, he is very?Those who may have contact with "Zhang Huoni" may get into trouble after a while. " "Ha ha! Yeah! "Hearing what Chu Chen said, Du Hou clapped his hands and laughed, and then said: "Xiao Chu, you'd better go ahead and pick out my collection. You see, I lost three pieces of blue and white porcelain today, so I can only use your fair one. Now that Bei has received some comfort, just take pity on me, an old man! " "OK! " If it weren't for Du Hou's generosity, he would have already exchanged the Justice Cup for Du Hou. Therefore, Chu Chen happily agreed without any hesitation. " Because there are still many collections that have not been appreciated, considering that Due to time constraints, Chu Chen just browsed through the collection roughly. Only when he saw something he liked, he stopped and looked carefully. In this way, after roughly looking at three to four hundred items, Chu Chen finally found it. He found a collection that he was very satisfied with, a landscape painting pen holder from the Qianlong period. This pen holder was carefully carved from a piece of jasper, and it was quite large, exceeding 23 centimeters in length and diameter. The color is spinach green and opaque to light. If you look closely, there are naturally formed stripes and black spots inside. It is smooth and restrained. If you hold it in your hand and touch it for a while, you will feel that it has an oily texture. This is the best quality. The basic characteristics of Hotan jasper. The jasper pen holders in the Qianlong Dynasty are mostly based on pictures of high officials and figures. The same is true for this pen holder. The outer wall of the pen holder is made of high relief, and only the distant peaks can be seen on the outer wall. Towering high into the clouds, a stone path winds down, with giant pine rocks nearby and a wooden bridge over a mountain stream. A woodcutter is walking around the mouth of the mountain, and there is a flat area under the shade of the trees. The five woodcutters were taking a rest while unloading their burdens. One of them probably told an interesting story while drinking water, which immediately made everyone burst into laughter. The four of them either smiled reservedly, or laughed up at the sky, and beat their heads in joy. Some were punching their feet, and some were laughing so hard that they simply lay on the ground. The woodcutter who was washing his feet by the stream seemed to be listening attentively to the excitement here. Large pieces of jade are still very scarce, so it is difficult to see large items. After the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, after the war in the border areas subsided, the number of jade materials specially supplied to the royal family from Hotan increased sharply, and a steady stream of jade materials came from the Silk Road. It was transported to the palace by road, providing abundant raw materials for the production of large-scale jade ornaments. Emperor Qianlong was the emperor who was most interested in playing with jade, appreciating jade and owning jade articles in the history of our country. Under his promotion, starting from the middle period of Qianlong, The demand for jade and the production level of both the court and the people have reached an unprecedented level, and the pen holder in front of you is a masterpiece that emerged at the time. Not only is this pen holder huge and rare, but the carver used it with extremely superb skills. The relief technique depicts the instant burst of joy of each woodcutter vividly and vividly. It can be said that it is similar to the bamboo carving, ivory carving, and wood carving craftsmanship of the same period. After seeing it, people can't help but take pictures. In terms of value, this jasper pen holder is definitely not as good as Chu Chen's fair cup. But then again, since Du Hou was so generous just now, he should reciprocate the favor. It should be so, so when he saw this pen holder, he immediately made up his mind to choose it. Seeing how late it was, Chu Chen decided on the exchange items and was about to tell Du Hou. At this moment, when he turned his head and was about to call Uncle Wu, he happened to see a blue and white bowl, and this blue and white bowl gave him a very strange feeling. Chu Chen walked up to the blue and white bowl with some curiosity, and then took it into his hand. This is a bowl with a narrow mouth of 14 to 15 centimeters in diameter, with a curved belly, ringed feet, and a thick body. The inner edge of the bowl is painted with a pattern of chrysanthemums wrapped around branches. The center of the bowl is painted with lotus ponds and waterfowls. The theme pattern on the outer wall of the bowl is: Pines, bamboos and plums, with auxiliary patterns below, including curly grass patterns and modified lotus petal patterns. To say that the painter of this bowl is still quite superb, with the artistic style of craftsmen during the Mongolian Yuan period, but the color of this blue and white hair is dark, which is completely different from the Yuanqing and white. And the glaze of this bowl also looks bluish-white, and feels rough to the touch, not at all like the glutinous rice feel of Yuan Qinghua. Seeing now, Chu Chen felt a little strange. This bowl clearly looked like a fake. How could it give him the feeling of an old thing? It was really strange. So he turned the bowl over again and took a closer look at its fetal feet. This time he discovered a problem. The fetus actually looked old! ¡°And Chu Chen also found a very small and not very obvious piece of strangely transparent substance at the bottom of the bowl. More importantly, he scraped the layer of substance with his hand and it actually fell off.??It suddenly made him feel a little embarrassed. But immediately he made a very surprising discovery. The porcelain body was actually exposed on the piece of transparent material, and it looked like a real Yuan blue and white porcelain body. This made him strange, and he immediately had a porcelain body. idea.
