    That's what Ma Xiaoqiang said, but his character is in the same vein as Ma Laocai. If he could kill him once, how could he not kill him? He could only say this because he was afraid of Ming Mazi.  Of course, if he really wanted to kill Chu Chen, he wouldn't be able to say it to his face.  Ming Mazi also knew that what Ma Xiaoqiang said was beautiful, but he couldn't control it. If Ma Laocai really dared to cheat or the price was extremely high, then he would keep his word.  "Let's go then" Ma Xiaoqiang quickly led everyone into the hall, and then made a cup of tea for the three of them before saying hello politely and walking into the back room.  After a while, Ma Xiaoqiang pushed an old man in a wheelchair out. The old man looked like an honest man. If Chu Chen hadn't heard Ma Laocai's story from Director Jin before, he wouldn't have thought of it.  , the ordinary old man in front of me turned out to be the kind of villain who is greedy for money and is extremely mean.  Ma Laocai was holding three boxes of different sizes in his hands. When he arrived in front of Chu Chen, Ma Xiaoqiang helped put the boxes on the table.  Afterwards, the two parties introduced each other and exchanged a few words. Ma Laocai said with a smile: "Some time ago, I did miss a few things, but I can guarantee that I didn't take out the wrong things on purpose."  Among the people present, even Ming Mazi was very smart, otherwise he would not have become a local gangster. When Ma Laocai said this, he looked a little ugly and said: "As you wish, these  You can't guarantee that the things are genuine?" Ma Laocai spread his hands and said, "I do think that all my things are genuine, but my level is limited. Whether it is genuine or not depends on your eyesight. I can't say.  If I say something is genuine, you will believe it unconditionally, right? "That's the truth, but by saying this, Ma Laocai has cleared up his responsibility, even if he deliberately brought out counterfeit goods.  He could also say that he made a mistake while shopping, and Chu Chen couldn't do anything about him.  ¡° Anyway, Ma Laocai is like this, and he has no reputation at all. Even if the misunderstanding spreads, it will have no impact on him. Besides, in his current state, no matter how famous he is, he can¡¯t make a living.  The money is still real.  After figuring out the trick, Ming Mazi felt very angry. Just when he was about to say a few harsh words, Chu Chen waved his hand and said: "See the thing first before talking!" "Please" Ma Laocai smiled and asked his son  He opened all the boxes and then made a gesture of invitation.  Inside three boxes.  They contain jade articles, pen holders and a figurine of a Hu man riding a three-color camel.  The three things looked good, but Chu Chen took them out one by one and looked at them carefully, but he only fell in love with the pen holder among them.  This pen holder is a bamboo carving of Zhang Qian riding a chariot pen holder from the mid-Qing Dynasty.  Zhang Qian¡¯s journey on a wooden raft is a well-known ancient myth. Legend has it that Emperor Wu sent Zhang Qian to find the source of the Yellow River. Zhang Qian rode a wooden raft up the river and passed through an uninhabited area for a long time.  We arrived at a densely populated market town, where men farmed and women weaved, and everything was in order.  He walked into a house and saw that the hostess was weaving and her husband was holding a cow and drinking water.  Zhang Qian was surprised and asked them: "Where is this place?" The male host pointed to the river where Niu was drinking and said: "This is the Tianhe." The hostess gave Zhang Qian a stone that supported the loom. After Zhang Qian took it back,  Recognized by the well-informed Dongfang Shuo.  It is said that this is the filling stone under the loom of the Weaver Girl in the sky.  Later, the allusion "Zhang Qian took a ride on a chariot" was used to describe traveling as an envoy.  This story is involved in Tang and Song poetry, Yuan, Ming and Qing dramas, etc. Similarly, many sculptures in antiques are also made with this theme.  This pen holder is just like this. The whole body is made of high relief and the craftsmanship is exquisite.  The characters and plot were vividly depicted. Chu Chen observed carefully and felt that the techniques of the "Sanzhu" bamboo carving line should be used, which can be regarded as a relatively good bamboo carving pen holder.  Seeing that Chu Chen had finished reading the things.  Ma Laocai smiled and asked: "Mr. Chu, what do you think of these three things?" Chu Chen pointed to the pen holder: "Just this one, the other two don't look right." Ma Laocai heard Chu Chen say this  He said that he suddenly felt a little anxious. The reason was very simple. Although he had played tricks before, he had bought the things with real money. Although Chu Chen said it euphemistically, the meaning was already there.  The two most valuable items were both fakes.  Ma Xiaoqiang was even more impatient than Ma Laocai. He immediately asked Chu Chen: "How can such a good thing be a fake? You are wrong!" "Xiaoyu, don't be rude!" Ma Laocai glared at Ma  cockroachAt first glance, Ma Xiaoqiang wanted to say a few words, but when he saw Ming Mazi's murderous eyes, his momentum immediately dropped.  Then, Ma Laocai turned around and asked with a smile: "Mr. Chu, can you tell me why you don't look at me?" "Okay, let's talk about this double crane ornament first." Chu Chen smiled.  He nodded and then picked up the jade in the box.  The texture of this white jade vessel looks like it is warm and delicate. It is made of round carvings of two cranes. One crane holds Ganoderma lucidum in its mouth and bends its neck in a prone position. The other crane holds a branch of longevity peach in its mouth. One foot is upright and the other is raised, as if it is in desire.  Walking, full of movement.  "Mr. Ma, this ornament is indeed in the style of the mid-Ming Dynasty, and in terms of the level of carving, it is indeed quite good, but the flaws are also very obvious." Chu Chen explained: "Generally speaking, the ancients  When making jade, there is no need to play with the jade like we do in modern times. The more you play with it, the brighter it becomes. This is because when a jade worker is carving jade, he will spend a long time.  By playing with and examining this piece of jade, the warmth of the jade has already emerged during this process, so there is no need for future generations to play with it. " "And when looking at jade, you must look at the carver. Every line of the old jade carver is straight to the end.  Yes, there will never be any breakage, because the jade is carved one at a time. You may not have looked carefully before, but on your ornament, several of the feathers on the double cranes are broken. This is what we have done.  The fake jade industry is called air holes. " "The reason is that the jade is carved with modern machines. During the carving process, the craftsman gasps, and the jade shakes on the grinding wheel, forming such an 'air hole'.  Most people without experience would not be able to tell this, and this is absolutely impossible to do with the tuozi work or manual methods used in ancient jade." Speaking of which, the ancients were very rigorous in making jade.  A piece of exquisite jade takes a very short time to complete, and ancient craftsmen would not process it carelessly.  Take the jade wall with the grain nail pattern of the Han Dynasty. The grain nails on it are arranged in a very regular manner. According to the formal method, the space should be calculated by the craftsman in advance. What is the diameter of the jade bis and how many can be made?  You have to know it well before doing it, and there will never be a phenomenon where the grain nail is half a nail.  If you see half a grain nail pattern on a jade wall, it must be a mistake made by later generations due to insufficient calculation during the production process. In other words, the jade wall is either a fake or an imitation.  After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, Ma Laocai quickly took the thing in his hand. After a closer look, he found that the feathers on the two cranes did indeed have a small amount of "breathing" phenomenon. This made him feel heartbroken and annoyed.  Blame yourself, why didn't you pay more attention to this aspect in the first place?  Not only Ma Laocai, but Ma Xiaoqiang was also heartbroken. He murmured to himself: "How could such a good jade article be a fake? Could it be that the craftsmen didn't pay attention when it was originally made?" Chu Chen Weiwei  He smiled and said: "The quality of this jade is quite good, and it was a relatively precious item in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the possibility of the situation you mentioned is extremely slim. In addition, except for the 'Qi Kou', this jade article  The patina should be formed by long-term grinding of special substances such as bran. " Ma Xiaoqiang directly denied: "You are wrong to say that. The patina of this jade is obviously very soft and natural.  It's impossible to grind it with bran. "Yes, most of the patina on the surface of this jade is indeed like this, but look at this!" Chu Chen pointed to a few inconspicuous places on the jade.  Ma Laocai and his son were dumbfounded when they saw it, because the patina there was indeed too shiny and frivolous. Experienced people would know at a glance that it was not naturally formed.  "How could this happen!" Ma Xiaoqiang exclaimed.  "I think it's normal." Chu Chen said: "The previous owner of this jade pendant probably didn't see that it was a fake, or he liked it after seeing the fake, so he kept it for himself for a while. However, let's  There are always dead ends in plate jade, especially the height of this jade article, which is nearly 11 centimeters. These remaining places should be the places that the original owner did not touch. " There are "air holes", and the coating of the jade article is wrong.  No matter how unbelieving they were in their hearts, the father and son knew that this piece of jade was indeed a fake. Fortunately, the texture of this piece of jade was good and the carving was good, and not everyone¡¯s eyesight was as sharp as the young man in front of them.  It is still very likely that it can be sold to others in the future.  Chu Chen didn¡¯t know what the father and son thought. Anyway, for him, even if the quality of this jade was indeed good, he would definitely not buy it unless the carver could reach the master level.  Instead of buying such a thing, he might as well carve one himself.  &nbspAfter a while, Ma Laocai came back to his senses and asked Chu Chen with a wry smile: "Master Chu, what about this Tang Sancai Hu man riding a camel figurine?" It goes without saying that Tang Sancai is famous and rare.  , its types include pottery horses, pottery figurines and pottery camels, and their shapes are generally very particular.  Camels, in particular, have been frequently seen in tombs since the Han and Tang Dynasties, especially in the Tang Dynasty.
