After watching Gu Jianming's operation, Chu Chen already had a basic understanding of jade polishing. I believe that with his brain, he should be able to master it with just a few practical operations. Just when Chu Chen was about to communicate with Gu Jianming again, Zhou Wenping walked in and said that someone was looking for him downstairs. "Oh? Do you know that man, Brother Zhou?" Chu Chen asked. "I don't know him!" Zhou Wenping shook his head and continued: "But this person came here once yesterday afternoon at three or four o'clock. At that time, I told him to call you if anything happens, but he didn't say anything after that. , and left. Oh, by the way, that person¡¯s face was full of youthful beans, I wonder if you have any impression.¡± Hearing Zhou Wenping say this, Chu Chen immediately knew that Zhou Wenping was talking about Xueyou Qian. Wu Ke said with disgust on his face: "So it's this guy. Brother Zhou, just send him away!" "Let's meet him!" Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand: "If we don't see him, he definitely won't. He will leave, you don¡¯t want him to pester us like a candy, right?¡± Hearing what Chu Chen said, although Wu Ke was still reluctant, he could only agree. So, Chu Chen said to Zhou Wenping: "Brother Zhou, please go and bring him up!" "Okay" Zhou Wenping nodded and went downstairs, while Chu Chen walked in with Wu Ke. Went to the VIP room and sat down. After a while, Zhou Wenping walked in with Xueyou Qian who looked like he was trying to please. Qian Xueyou nodded and walked to Chu Chen, then put the things he was carrying on the table, bowed to Chu Chen and you Wu Ke with a smile on his face, and said: "Young Master Chu, I was just dizzy before. , I offended my sister-in-law. I came here today just to apologize to my sister-in-law. I hope you adults will stop worrying about little people like me!" He looked at Chu Chen and Wu Ke nervously, for fear that they would not accept it, but with his dignified appearance, smiling was uglier than crying. If it were night, a timid child might be scared to tears by him. of. Seeing his dignity. Wu Ke turned his head to the side, not wanting to see him again. This scared Qian Xueyou so much that he trembled all over and almost knelt down before the two of them. Seeing his frightened look, Chu Chen smiled secretly in his heart, waved his hand and said: "We will accept the apology. But you should take this thing back!" Hearing what Chu Chen said, Qian Xueyou immediately became anxious and bowed. Said: "Don't bother! Mr. Chu, I really know that I'm wrong, please let me go!" "Okay! Okay!" Chu Chen said in a dumbfounded voice: "Where are you following? Ah, although I¡¯m not a man of words, I still keep my word. I won¡¯t trouble you if I don¡¯t, but as for the things, you should take them back!¡± Hearing what Chu Chen said, Qian Xueyou felt relieved, but if he took the things back, he was really afraid that Chu Chen would settle accounts with him in the future. As for keeping his word, who knew that this tall man was a princeling with five people and six people. What kind of character could it be! "Mr. Chu, you see, this is just a little thought of mine. It's not a valuable thing. You can take it home and use it as a vase!" Chu Chen looked at him with a half-smile but said, "It's really just a worthless thing. What's the matter? Don't forget that my master is still Mr. Liu!" "Thisthat" Hearing what Chu Chen said, Qian Xueyou hesitated and didn't know what to say, but let him He would definitely be unwilling to take it back. Although Chu Chen doesn¡¯t want to have anything to do with Xueyou Qian anymore. But judging from his appearance, he probably refused to take the thing back, so he waved his hand and said: "Okay! Let's see what it is first. If I like it, then I will spend money to buy it. What do you think?" Qian Xueyou couldn't think of any other good way to get Chu Chen to accept this thing, so he could only agree. Chu Chen opened the lid of the brocade box and found that it should be a Langyao red Guanyin statue. Avalokitesvara is a kind of statue, with a wide mouth, a long neck, plump shoulders, the lower part of the abdomen is gradually drawn in, and the bottom is turned outward. The shape of the vessel is similar to the water purification bottle held by Guanyin, so it is named. The outer wall of this vase is covered with Shilang kiln red glaze. The glaze color is rich and bright, and the glaze surface has strong fluidity. The red color becomes more intense as you go down the bottle body, showing a typical "ox blood red" color. There are ice-cracked flakes on the glaze, and the edge of the glaze shows a white glaze, commonly known as "light grass edge", and the bottom is white glaze. In addition, there is a four-character regular script inscription "Made in Kangxi Year" on the bottom of the vessel, which looks quite neat. However, precisely because of this inscription, Chu Chen immediately knew that the Langyao Red Guanyin Zun was a fake. Langyaohong is an imitation?A red glaze fired with the characteristics of ruby ??red glaze during the Xuande period. The glaze is thick and glassy, ??and the best products are bright red. Because it was a famous product made by Lang Tingji, the governor of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, when he was also the supervisor of the imperial kiln factory in the porcelain capital, it was called Lang Kiln Red. The firing process of Lang Kiln Red requires very high technical indicators such as the firing atmosphere and temperature. It is very difficult to fire a successful product. There are even legends that rubies, gold, etc. are even used in the glaze for firing. Therefore, Lang Kiln Red Glaze Porcelain was very valuable at that time, and there is a folk proverb that "if you want to be poor, burn Langhong". Precisely because it is difficult to make Lang kiln red wares and has little circulation, there are many imitators in later generations, some of which are so superb that they can almost look like the real ones. This Guanyin statue looks very good in terms of shape and glaze color, but Chu Chen doesn't know what the forger is about, and actually adds a superfluous mark, which really makes him feel a little bit. funny. You must know that most of the real Langyao reds from the Kangxi period have no inscriptions. Chu Chen has heard that some have sustenance money written on them, but there is no four-character regular script inscription made in the Kangxi period among them. Moreover, this kind of utensils are very special. It was rare, and he had never seen it with his own eyes. Therefore, when Chu Chen saw that this Avalokitesvara statue was actually distinguished, and found that there were some other differences between it and the original, he knew for sure that it was a fake. The thing used to apologize turned out to be a fake. I don¡¯t know what kind of expression Qian Xueyou would have when he found out. Chu Chen thought it was a bit funny, so he looked at Qian Xueyou with a half-smile. Xueyou asked: "I wonder where you bought this Guanyin Zun?" "You bought it from a friend of mine who owns an auction house. Is there anything wrong with it?" Qian Xueyou asked with some confusion. "I don't like this Guanyin Zun!" Chu Chen shook his head and said. "Ah! You don't like it!" Qian Xueyou said with a surprised look on his face. You should know that he spent 300,000 to buy this thing. He thought it was a very good thing among antiques, but he didn't expect it. Chu Chen actually didn't like it. "You are so stupid! Achen is saying that this thing of yours is a fake!" Wu Ke said angrily. "Ah! How is this possible!" Qian Xueyou was shocked when he heard this, and then he shook his head repeatedly and said: "Impossible, how could my friend lie to me!" "Tch! You can only make friends with people like you. Some fox friends, who are you lying to?" Wu Ke said with a sneer. Qian Xueyou felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. There were only one or two people who could be regarded as his true friends. The other friends could only be said to be able to play with each other. If he was really in trouble, he probably wouldn't They were helping him, but although these friends were not very reliable, he felt that they would not lie to him like this. Seeing that Qian Xueyou still didn't believe it, Chu Chen secretly shook his head, but in order to prevent Qian Xueyou from thinking that this was an excuse, he said: "This Guanyin statue is indeed a fake. Although it is very realistic, it is Several places are different from the real thing. " Speaking of this, Chu Chen pointed at the mouth of Guanyin Zun and said: "For example, the opening at the mouth of this bottle is very small, and it looks like the glass is broken. It seems that there are no openings on the inner wall of the bottle mouth, only pure white glaze. If it is authentic, there should be openings on the inner and outer walls of the bottle mouth, and the openings should be natural and in the shape of a "well". " Mr. Chu, let me ask. What is the opening film you are talking about?" Qian Xueyou raised his left hand and asked. "Opening is a natural cracking phenomenon on the glaze of porcelain." Chu Chen explained briefly, and then turned the Guanyin statue over, with the bottom facing everyone: "Look here again, if it is a genuine product, then the bottom is white The color of the glaze should be yellow, the terminology in our industry is called "rice soup white", and it has cracks. But for your Guanyin statue, the white glaze is snow white, and it has not cracked, which is obviously not consistent with the real thing. " "In addition, there is a clear separation between the red glaze and the ring foot. It can be judged that the counterfeiter polished the ring foot to create the "illusion" that the red glaze only flows to the bottom of the object, which is not as natural as the genuine article. And the biggest flaw of this Guanyin statue is that it actually has a mark on the bottom, but the genuine product does not have such a mark. " At this point, Chu Chen stood the bottle up again and took the opportunity to weigh it. He shook his head and said: "The weight of this Guanyin statue is also wrong. It is obviously lighter at the top and heavier at the bottom. The weight of the real thing should be even. Also, do you think this Guanyin statue looks a bit new?" "Indeed. It's relatively new." Qian Xueyou said with a frown, "But my friend said that this bottle just looks like glass." Chu Chen laughed and said, "The surface of the real thing does look likeIt's the same as glass, but if this thing is real, then it has been nearly three hundred years old. Often affected by time, it will look heavy on the surface. How can it be like now, with smoke and smoke? , it¡¯s like something that just came out of the oven! " "Let me tell you, it's easy to spot a fake like this. Besides, your friend still owns an auction house. Even if he doesn't understand, how could the master he hired not be able to spot it? So" Having said this, Chu Chen smiled slightly, and the meaning behind it was self-evident.
