    After saying goodbye to Ma Laocai and his son, Chu Chen walked towards his car and said to Director Jin next to him: "Director Jin, where are you going, I'll see you off." "No, no, I'll just go back by myself.  Director Jin said somewhat flattered.  "You're welcome, I'm just along for the ride anyway!" Chu Chen invited with a smile.  Director Jin chuckled and said, "No need really, I want to have dinner with Director Nian tonight." After hearing what he said, Chu Chen said, "Oh, that's okay, please help me say hello to Director Nian then.  " As soon as he finished speaking, Ming Mazi was ready to leave: "Master Chu, Director Jin, if nothing happens, I'll go back first. " "Okay, thank you for today. I don't have anything good here. You can take this pack of cigarettes.  Go smoke it!" With that said, Chu Chen opened the car door and gave Ming Mazi a pack of cigarettes that had never been seen on the market. The packaging was very ordinary and inconspicuous. He took another two packs and handed them to Director Jin.  Bid farewell to the two of them.  After Chu Chen left, Ming Mazi looked at the pack of cigarettes in his hand with some curiosity. A younger brother behind him muttered: "He's from the capital. When he asked for help, he only gave him a pack of cigarettes.  That¡¯s so stingy!¡± Director Jin said angrily: ¡°Shit, I just gave you a pack of cigarettes because of my arrogance. Ming Mazi, do you want it or not? I¡¯ll give you 3,000 yuan to buy it!¡±  The younger brother was stunned when he heard this and said: "Why do cigarettes cost three thousand? Could it be that it's a special No, this is this really a special supply of cigarettes!" Hearing this, Ming Mazi's younger brothers cheered and gathered around.  They came over and rushed to see the legendary special cigarettes, but when they saw the very ordinary and inconspicuous packaging, they were disappointed.  Someone among them said strangely: "I used to have a friend get a pack of these special cigarettes through some connections. Why does the packaging look different?" "Is it written on the white paper?" Director Jin asked.  "Yes!" The man nodded.  Director Jin sneered: "That's a fake. How can a real special offer be circulated on the market, and there are so many of them? That kind of cigarette will only deceive people like you who don't know how to smoke." "Director Jin, does that mean?  , the special cigarettes are like what Mr. Chu gave us?" Ming Mazi asked.  Director Jin shook his head: "I am not qualified to smoke this kind of cigarette at all. I don't know what it is like. I won't say anymore. Do you want this cigarette?" "Do you really want to buy it for three thousand?" Mazi Ming said  Hearing this, he was also a little stunned.  Director Jin said angrily: "Nonsense, how can I lie to you about this? Let me tell you clearly, the Chu family's status is one of the best in the capital. Even the boss of Yan Province can't smoke this kind of cigarettes." "  Hiss!" Ming Mazi and his men all took a breath of cold air. After a while, Ming Mazi shook his head and said: "Director Jin, I'm sorry, I must treasure this good smoke.  "Director Jin said silently: "Cigarettes are just for smoking. Aren't you wasting your wealth by doing this?" Ming Mazi said with a smile: "I'm just an ordinary person. How can I encounter such an opportunity in the future?"  "You really don't want to sell it?" Director Jin asked.  "Not for sale!" Ming Mazi still shook his head.  Seeing this, Director Jin said helplessly: "Yes! It's up to you. If you want to transfer it in the future, just tell me, but I don't want it if it goes bad!" Ming Mazi laughed and said: "Okay, I won't do it then.  I will forget you!¡± ¡­¡­¡­ Chu Chen parked the car in front of Lin Dacheng¡¯s house, took the calligraphy and painting box and the brocade box containing the armor from the car and walked into the door.  only.  To his surprise, Uncle Wu and Lin Dacheng, father and son, were sorting copper coins on the floor of the hall. It looked like there were quite a few coins, there should be hundreds.  "Dad, where did you get so many copper coins?" Chu Chen asked curiously.  ¡°I went to your mother¡¯s friend¡¯s house today and saw them at her house, so I bought them all.¡± Uncle Wu raised his head and replied with a smile.  Chu Chen stepped forward and asked casually: "What kind of money are they all for?" Uncle Wu replied: "These are Zhaowu Tongbao." When Chu Chen heard this, he quickly said and stepped forward: "They are all rebellion money.  ? Is there a seal script version? " This "Zhaowu Tongbao" is a coin minted during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty.  Why is it called ¡°rebel money¡±?  It's because this kind of coin was cast by Wu Sangui.  At that time, Wu Sangui first conquered Yungui. Due to military, political and economic needs, he was in urgent need of a large amount of funds.For this reason, Wu Sangui reported to the court and requested that coins be minted locally, but was not approved by Kangxi. Instead, copper coins minted in Baoquan and Jiangning were supplied to southern Yunnan, but the journey was far away.  The failure to supply in time has seriously affected the economic development of southern Yunnan.  Under this situation, Wu Sangui used the resources within his jurisdiction to privately mint copper coins.  In the seventeenth year of Kangxi's reign, Wu Sangui rebelled against the Qing Dynasty and proclaimed himself emperor in Hengzhou.  The Yuan Dynasty was changed to Zhaowu, and the "Zhaowu Tongbao" coin was minted.  This is where ¡°rebel money¡± comes from.  After the Qing Dynasty pacified the Three Feuds, although it ordered the collection of "rebellion money" twice, due to various factors, the "Zhaowu Tongbao" money continued to circulate until the end of the Qing Dynasty.  "Zhaowu Tongbao" is an imitation of the old coins of the Ming Dynasty. Its formats include small flat, five-fold, and ten-fold styles.  Xiaoping regular script is more expensive, and it is usually bare-backed. It is more common to have "work" written on the back. It is basically worthless and is now sold by the pound.  Xiaoping's seal script is relatively rare, and the five-fold and ten-fold coins are all large coins in seal script, with "one cent" on the back, and the seal script is clumsy.  In fact, in terms of market value, the value of the seal script "Zhaowu Tongbao" is only between 100 and 200. This money is nothing to Chu Chen, but the antique collection is about culture, if he only cares about money.  , then Chu Chen might as well just do the jade business, that way the money will come in faster.  Uncle Wu smiled and replied: "Now there are more than twenty pieces of Xiaoping seal script. In addition, there are more than twenty pieces of five-fold and ten-fold pieces." "Not bad!" Chu Chen saw that one-third of the pieces were not sorted on the ground.  , then there should be a lot more to sort out, so I put the calligraphy and painting box aside and helped sort it out.  The four people started working very quickly, but Chu Chen came back relatively late. By the time they had sorted the coins, it was already time for dinner.  The four of them walked to the bathroom to wash their hands. Uncle Wu smiled and asked Chu Chen, "I saw you holding the box just now. They must be good things, right?" Chu Chen chuckled and said, "They are indeed good things, and one of them is  , You won¡¯t think of it!¡± Seeing Chu Chen say this, Uncle Wu felt that the thing must be extraordinary, and immediately said with great interest: ¡°Oh! I¡¯m going to enjoy it after dinner!¡± ¡°Okay¡±  After having enough wine and food, Chu Chen took both boxes over after clearing the table. At this time, Uncle Wu could not wait impatiently.  He waved his hand and said: "Xiao Chen, don't be too pretentious and take out the good things first." Seeing Uncle Wu's anxious look, Chu Chen smiled secretly, and then removed the piece of "Luo Shen Fu" from  He took it out of the calligraphy and painting box.  Uncle Wu first carefully observed the appearance of the scroll and exclaimed: "Hey! It's a hand scroll! It seems to be the mounting style of the early Qing Dynasty, and it is also a master-level mounting craftsmanship!"  The mid-Qing and late Qing periods each have their own characteristics.  The mounting methods of hand scrolls continue to use imitation Xuan and bumped edges, silk turned edges, silk inlaid with paper edges, silk or damask inlaid with bumped edges, etc.  The silk-turned-edge type is mostly used for hand scrolls with different sizes or short lengths such as introductions, heart drawings, and epilogues.  Its stage characteristics are also the most obvious. In the early and middle Qing Dynasties, the silk edge was wider, about 2.5-3 cm, and became narrower in the late Qing Dynasty.  In the mid-Qing Dynasty and the late Qing Dynasty, the imitation Xuan style and the bumper style were also divided into wider and narrower bumpers, but the difference was not big.  In the early and middle Qing Dynasties, the endpapers of hand-scrolled scrolls were shorter and the rolls were thinner; in the late Qing Dynasty, the endpapers were longer and the rolls were significantly thicker than those in the early and middle Qing Dynasties.  This is one of the characteristics of mounted hand scrolls in the Qing Dynasty.  In the Qing Dynasty, brocade was generally used for hand roll wrapping, and damask was used for the head and water barrier.  The cotton damask used in the early and middle Qing Dynasties has a tight texture and clear patterns, mostly cloud and crane patterns.  In addition to clouds and cranes, phoenix patterns also appeared on the flower damasks of the late Qing Dynasty, but the texture was loose and the patterns were vague.  During the Qing Dynasty, the mounting skills of Gusu and Huaiyang were famous throughout the country. Among them, the Huaiyang department was good at imitating ancient decorations and mounting ancient paintings.  The framing style of this scroll is antique decoration, and the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite. Although Uncle Wu is not good at appraising calligraphy and paintings, he used to work in a museum, so he has a wide range of knowledge. At a glance, he knows that this must be a Qing Dynasty painting.  The work of the Huaiyang series mounting master.  Seeing that it was actually a work by a master of Huaiyang style framing in the early Qing Dynasty, Uncle Wu felt a little strange and asked: "Xiao Chen, do you think this hand scroll was picked up by mistake?" Chu Chen laughed and said: "  I spent 450,000 yuan on this hand scroll. In terms of the value of the thing, it is indeed a big bargain.¡± ¡°It is not uncommon for something worth 450,000 yuan to have such exquisite framing, but under normal circumstances, if  It¡¯s not that the work is particularly outstanding, nor can it be framed like this, but in this case, even if the value of the thing is not more than 450,000, the difference should not be big, and it certainly cannot be said to be a big deal.  This made Uncle Wu strange, and he thought of a possibility: "Xiao Chen, is it difficult?"Is this another ¡®picture within a picture¡¯?  Chu Chen said with a smile: "Dad, it's not what you think. You'd better take a look before talking, otherwise you won't understand what's going on."  " "Okay, let me take a look first" Because there was no space on the table, Uncle Wu continued to read bit by bit. However, he just read the beginning and couldn't help but froze. After a while, he finally  He opened his mouth and asked Chu Chen: "Xiao Chen, do you mean to say that this is really "Luo Shen Fu" written by Zhao Mengfu himself?  " Chu Chen spread his hands and said with a smile: "I think it should be an authentic work. How about it, you'd better take a look first.  " Uncle Wu nodded, and quickly picked up the magnifying glass and leaned forward to observe carefully PS: I wish all my friends a happy National Day!
