    Chu Chen never expected that the works his uncle would give him would be Liu Gongquan's works. You must know that Liu Gongquan's works generally have more tablets and stickers, and it is very rare that his pen and ink works have been handed down.  Moreover, Liu Gongquan's calligraphy was already famous in the Tang Dynasty. At that time, there was a saying among the people that "one word of Liu character is worth a thousand gold".  His calligraphy works can be passed down to this day, and their value cannot be measured by money at all.  It can be said that this work is extremely precious. If Chu Chen didn't know his uncle's temper, he would have wanted to return the work to him.  Chu Chen shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Then he took out a magnifying glass and observed the work carefully.  Liu Gongquan¡¯s calligraphy is strong, precise and meticulous.  In terms of characters, he is famous for his thinness and strength. The regular script he writes has strong posture and strong bones. The running script and regular script are the most exquisite. This is also the unique feature of his works.  The regular script in front of you can be said to be "the more expensive the calligraphy, the thinner and harder it is, the more spiritual it can be." Compared with the Yan style, it is slightly more uniform, thinner and harder.  The calligraphy is balanced, thin and hard, resolutely pursuing the Wei stele, the stippling is crisp and straight, the bones are strong and the structure is rigorous, which is exactly what the saying "the bones are strong and the bones are strong".  The calligraphy in front of you is vigorous but not vulgar, dangerous but not strange, old but not dry, moist but not fat, harmonious in manner, and unparalleled in charm.  The strokes are uniform, hard and thin, with exposed edges and corners, and are full of variety, avoiding the repetition of single strokes.  Coupled with the unique characteristics of horizontal and vertical paintings, Chu Chen was certain that this work should be Liu Gongquan's regular script handwriting.  In addition, the paper of the work, the promotion and seal of the author, as well as the promotion and seal of famous artists in later generations.  There is no need to say more about the authenticity of these two works.  After verifying the authenticity of the work.  Chu Chen felt very surprised in his heart. How could such a work be found by accident?  Did the original owner know nothing about this?  "Introduction and expansion, the middle palace is tightened, the limbs are spread out, and the openness and openness are seen in the rigor. Good calligraphy, good calligraphy!" Chu Yongning also has a hobby of calligraphy, so when he saw this work, he was  His eyes immediately shone with excitement, and after tasting it carefully, he couldn't help but admire it.  His father's words brought Chu Chen back to his senses, and then he smiled and said: "Dad, since you like it so much, let this work go to you!" "Put it to me?" Chu Yongning felt a little moved in his heart, and then  He sighed and said, "Forget it, I'm quite busy with work now and don't have much time to appreciate this work. Let's wait until I retire!" Hearing what his father said, Chu Chen could only sigh softly in his heart.  According to the current trend, my father's official position will definitely become bigger and bigger.  Not only will he have much less time by then, but for safety reasons, he will definitely not be able to live here anymore.  Thinking of this, Chu Chen felt somewhat reluctant to give up.  But there is nothing he can do about it, and he will only be able to visit frequently.  Chu Chen cheered up and said quickly: "Okay. If you want to see it anytime, just go to the vault to get it." At this point.  He suddenly thought of something and patted his forehead.  He smiled and said: "Dad, in my vault, there are also calligraphy works by Yan Zhenqing and Mi Fu!" "What!" Chu Yongning was slightly stunned, and then said with a look of surprise: "You kid, why don't you  Tell me earlier!" "I haven't thought of this before!" Chu Chen scratched his head and said with a smile.  "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go see it now!" Chu Yongning said impatiently.  Zhao Yunlin rolled her eyes at him and said, "What's the hurry? It's already late today. You can't look at it tomorrow. You won't lose things!" Chu Yongning looked at the time and saw that it was almost eleven o'clock. He could only say with some regret.  "Then let's talk about it tomorrow!" "Okay! Let's go and have a rest. We can appreciate the things tomorrow!" Zhao Yunlin said.  No one had any objections to this, so Chu Chen began to put away the works.  "Brother, is this ancient emperor the seal of Emperor Qianlong?" Chu Yulan asked, pointing to a seal.  Chu Chen nodded and said: "Yes, this ancient emperor is the royal seal inscription of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. The seal inscription is often found on the calligraphy and painting works collected by the Forbidden City." Qiao Qian said in surprise: "Ah! What about this thing?  Did it spread outside? Could it have been stolen by the foreign coalition forces?" Chu Chen thought for a while, and then said: "It is possible, but it is unlikely that my uncle would have picked it up abroad. I think it is probably not the case.  That would spread, but it was smuggled out by the last emperor after the Qing Dynasty was overthrown. After the Qing Dynasty was overthrown, a large number of national treasures were stolen before and after the last emperor was driven out of the Forbidden City.  Among them, there are more than 1,200 famous calligraphy and paintings alone. This is the largest loss of national treasure case in the history of our country, and the whole world is shocked.After the last emperor and his group fled to the eastern part of the Northern Province, they sold many of the national treasures they carried because of their survival crisis.  What is sad is that on the way to escape, because he and his courtiers had no food, they exchanged these priceless calligraphy and paintings, antiques and local farmers for steamed buns to eat, which caused a large number of treasures to be lost among the people.  Perhaps this work was sold at that time.  ¡°So that¡¯s it!¡± everyone suddenly said.  Chu Chen spread his hands and said: "Of course, this is just my guess. As for what happened, I have to ask my uncle where he bought it." "I'll call my uncle and ask!" After that,  Chu Yulan ran out and made a phone call.  "This kid doesn't even look at what time it is!" Zhao Yunlin said angrily, but she knew that Zhao Qirui didn't sleep before twelve o'clock every day, so she didn't say anything to stop him.  Chu Chen carefully put away the work, and then the group walked out.  At this time, Chu Yulan happened to ask clearly about the cause and effect, so she spoke out in a chirpy voice.  It turns out that Zhao Qirui received a call from a friend in the eastern part of Northern Province some time ago, saying that it was a distant relative of his family who had some paintings and calligraphy for sale, including not only Zheng Banqiao's works, but also Tang Yin's calligraphy.  When Zhao Qirui heard the news, he happened to have something to go to Northern Province, so he took Master Zhangyan there by plane the next day.  When Zhao Qirui arrived, his friends arranged for him to stay in a small hotel in the area where his relatives lived. Two hours later, his friends rushed in with their distant relatives. They also brought a dog with a seal from the turbulent era.  Old wooden box and seven scroll paintings.  As soon as Zhao Qirui saw this posture, he looked at Master Zhangyan. There are really too many situations like this in the antique industry, and people have to be on guard.  However, when everyone was here, it was unlikely that Zhao Qirui would just leave without even looking at it, so everyone opened the box and started taking a look.  The box contains works by famous artists, including Zheng Banqiao, Lang Shining, Tang Yin and others, and of course this work by Liu Gongquan.  Although they are all masterpieces by famous artists, their authenticity is really not flattering. Except for this work by Liu Gongquan, the others were completely wiped out.  But it was this Liu Gongquan's work that made Zhao Qirui and the palm-eye master almost jump out of shock. Fortunately, both of them had rich life experiences, and in the end they suppressed the extremely excited emotions in their hearts.  Zhao Qirui accidentally discovered Liu Gongquan¡¯s works. Even though he knew that he was in front of a trap, Zhao Qirui jumped. So next, he knew that the six paintings were fakes, but finally paid 800,000 yuan for them.  ¡°Subsequently, it was the turn of the most critical work, Liu Gongquan¡¯s, and the seller offered a price of 900,000. Zhao Qirui breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that the other party was probably selling it as a fake.  So next, the two parties went back and forth, and soon the deal was finally concluded at a price of 400,000.  After hearing the cause and effect, Chu Chen chuckled and said: "In this way, this painting was probably smuggled out during the Republic of China." Everyone nodded in agreement, and then Chu Yulan said with envy: "Uncle  "You are so lucky to have picked up such a big mistake!" Chu Chen said with a smile: "Uncle's luck is indeed good, but this situation is obviously a trap. If you encounter this situation normally, it is best to stay away from it!  It's better. The kind of situation my uncle encountered is still very rare." "If you buy a collection worth hundreds of millions of yuan for 400,000 yuan, not many people who know it will not be jealous, but the "water" in the collection world.  "It's very deep. Not to mention that ordinary people are easy to be blind, even experts are not new to being deceived. Don't take any chances when encountering "landmines" or scams, otherwise you will often be hurt.  And in normal times, you should not blindly collect and invest in antiques with the mentality of picking up missing items. In the words of the stock market, antiques are risky, so you must be cautious when entering the market.  Moreover, antiques can easily cost tens of thousands, or even tens or even millions. If you really get caught and get involved, the money will be wasted, and you won¡¯t even hear the sound of water.  .  "Xiaolan, remember to listen to your brother. If you want to buy antiques, you must not be blind, and you must not listen to other people's stories, otherwise you will be the one who suffers and is fooled!" Zhao Yunlin saw the longing look on Chu Yulan's face,  Said seriously.  Chu Yulan stuck out her tongue. After hearing Zhao Qirui¡¯s experience of picking up leaks, and Chu Chen picking up leaks from time to time, she was indeed very excited. She thought that one day she would also pick up a big leak, and then everyone would be impressed.  But she was not hot-headed at all. Although she kept thinking about it, she did not act on it. This was also because she felt sorry for her money.  "I know, if I buy it in the futureIf you want to play, I must ask my brother to accompany me!  "(To be continued)
