Chu Chen chuckled and said: "It's really nothing, but it depends on what it is. I'm just afraid of trouble. If the bronze item your friend brought out is a heavy item, then it's really inconvenient for me to take over. And if You said that the Ming Wanli colorful cloud and dragon pattern lid box is also a trap, which is also a troublesome thing." Seeing what Chu Chen said, Ma Xiaoqiang quickly said: "Master Chu, you are a big shot from the capital, even if you are a trap. For you, wanting to clear your name is not a matter of words!" Chu Chen shook his head when he heard this: "That's what I said, but it requires me to make connections." Ma Xiaoqiang laughed and said: "Yes. If not, I¡¯ll ask my friend to give you some discounts. What do you think?¡± Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, ¡°Then I won¡¯t bother you!¡± ¡°It¡¯s not my fault! I did it!¡± Ma Xiaoqiang nodded and bowed inwardly, but said with disdain: ¡°Why don¡¯t you just want to get some money? No wonder some people always say that rich people are tough, but today it seems that it is indeed the case!¡± Following Ma Xiaoqiang's guidance, the truck arrived in front of a hotel. However, the location of the hotel left Chu Chen and Hu Yong speechless because it was exactly opposite the location where they had just picked up Ma Xiaoqiang. They had just run around in a big circle for nothing. The motive for doing this was simply to see if there was anyone following Chu Chen. Chu Chen said with a displeased look on his face: "Mr. Ma, you are being a little unkind! The gas money doesn't cost much, but isn't this a waste of my time!" Ma Xiaoqiang quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Mr. Chu , this was all explained by my friend, but I didn¡¯t do it on purpose, and my friend also told me before that because of the inconvenience this matter caused to you, Mr. Chu, he decided to pay for it based on the final agreed price. Another half percent, I hope you¡¯ll bear with me!¡± ¡°Huh! Let¡¯s go!¡± Chu Chen snorted coldly, as long as the other party doesn¡¯t take him for granted. In addition, the goods were good and he really didn't care too much about the price. However, from this incident, he felt that Ma Xiaoqiang's friend was too cautious, and for such a cautious tomb robber, he would undoubtedly have to grow up a lot. Just be careful. Got out of the car. Chu Chen first went to the reception desk to open a room. During this period, he also hinted to Hu Yong to be careful. Hu Yong also nodded slightly to express his understanding. The three of them entered the room. After a while, someone knocked on the door. Ma Xiaoqiang hurriedly went to open the door. After a moment, he saw a man in his thirties, carrying a large travel bag, walking in with Ma Xiaoqiang. This man looks gentle and wears a pair of eyes. If he is normal, he will look like a gentleman. At best, Chu Chen would only think that he was a high-level intellectual, but the fierce look that flashed through the man's eyes from time to time still made Chu Chen think that this man was not simple. The man put the bag next to the sofa where Chu Chen was sitting. Then he shook hands with Chu Chen with a smile on his face: "I guess this is Young Master Chu, he is indeed the best among men!" Chu Chen politely replied: "Thank you, thank you! I wonder what your surname is, sir?" The man smiled. : "My surname is Ma, so I'm still a distant relative of Xiaoqiang. Mr. Chu, just call me Lao Ma" After a few words of greeting, the two parties got down to business. Chu Chen said with a smile: "Old Ma, I don't know what kind of treasure you got today. Can you let me admire it?" "What kind of treasure is not precious? They are just gadgets. I hope you will not be disappointed, Mr. Chu!" Lao Ma laughed, then picked up the bag and placed the contents on the coffee table one by one. There are not many things in the bag, only five items in total, two of which are porcelain, two are stationery items, and one is bronze. "Please!" Lao Ma made a gesture of invitation. "Then I'm welcome" Chu Chen smiled and nodded, and then looked at the five items in front of him from left to right, but the result made him very disappointed. Although these five items, They were made very similar, and to outsiders, they looked completely fake, but with his eyesight, he could tell the authenticity of the things at a glance, and one of them almost made him laugh out loud. Putting the last piece of bronze back in its place, Chu Chen said with a nonchalant expression: "Old Ma, you are really unkind! Or are you using me as a mallet?" Old Ma was stunned for a moment, then looked innocent. Said: "Master Chu, what you said, how could I regard you as a stick?" This old horse's acting skills are also quite superb. If you look at his expression, you might think that Chu Chen has wronged him. However, Chu Chen can be regarded as an old man. He chuckled and said: "Old Ma, wise people don't speak secretly. If only one or two of these are wrong, then I won't say anything. But now there are five. ??Yes, I have to ask you what is going on! " "How can this be! " After hearing what Chu Chen said, Lao Ma looked shocked. Then he quickly looked at everything on the coffee table. Then he picked up a strong jar and said to Chu Chen: "This strong jar is so well made. Exquisite, how could it be wrong! " The strong jar in Lao Ma's hand has a lip, short neck, narrow shoulders, a straight belly, a slightly tapered belly, and a circle foot. This jar is called "Zhuang jar" because the bottom of the mouth is the same, it is tall and cylindrical, and the top and bottom are thick. " This jar is glazed throughout. Fat and plump, the glaze color is white with flashes of green, and the whole body is covered with seven layers of decorations such as Ruyi cloud head pattern, curly grass pattern, and sea water pattern. The theme decoration on the abdomen is the lotus pattern. The layout is dense, full and well-proportioned. From this point of view, it is both beautiful and beautiful. The real thing seems to be comparable. Moreover, the surface of this jar also seems to have traces of "rust spots", but they are not obvious, and these "rust spots" do not appear natural. Chu Chen can tell at a glance that these "iron spots" are not obvious. The "rust spots" are all artificially made, which is one of the reasons why Chu Chen judged that this strong jar is a fake. And this strong jar has another fatal flaw, and this flaw is exactly what Chu Chen almost laughed out loud just now Chu Chen said with a smile: "Old Ma, since you said this thing is genuine, let me ask you a question, what is the name of this strong jar? " Lao Ma turned the jar over and read: "Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Shidi's palace used it as a royal palace in Gengyinqiu, the eighth year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. This should be no problem, right? " Seeing Lao Ma looking at him with some confusion, Chu Chen didn't know whether he was asking questions knowingly or if he really didn't understand. However, judging from Ma Xiaoqiang's uncontrollable expression next to him, maybe Lao Ma was really serious about this. I don¡¯t quite understand. So, Chu Chen explained: ¡°Well, Lao Ma, this is the temple name of Ming Chengzu. It was only given after the emperor died. How could it appear in the eighth year of Yongle? " After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Lao Ma was stunned. He really didn't know much about it, but when Chu Chen said this, he also realized that who would write his dead name on his own name? What about the things? Only fools can do this, right? But when he came back to his senses and saw Ma Xiaoqiang who almost laughed out loud, he felt that he had lost face and was a little unhappy, so he glared hard. He glanced at Ma Xiaoqiang and argued forcefully: "That's not necessarily true, maybe this temple name was prepared by the emperor before his death? " Chu Chen smiled slightly and said: "Old Ma, what you said is impossible. Because, in fact, the temple name of Zhu Di after his death was Ming Taizong. It was not until more than a hundred years later, when Emperor Jiajing was in power, that Zhu Di's temple name was changed to Ming Chengzu. Later generations used to call Chengzu Zhu Di, but people at that time would never call him that. " Hearing this, if Lao Ma wants to quibble again, it will be an excuse. He is quite a bachelor. He directly puts the jar back into the bag, points to the other four items, and asks: "Master Chu, what about this? Four things, how do you say they are wrong? "Chu Chen smiled slightly: "Let's talk about this inkstone box first" The inkstone box is also called the inkstone box, which is used to house the inkstone. It is preferably made of purple wood, ebony, watercress and lacquer. However, Lao Ma The inkstone box I brought uses the technique of cloisonn¨¦ enamel on a copper body. At first glance, this inkstone box looks magnificent in decoration, regular in copper body, pure in color, and resplendent. But if you look closely, you will see that the details are really rough. The items were given the name of Qianlong. If they were placed in front of Qianlong, the craftsman would probably die without knowing how. Next, Chu Chen pointed out the flaws of the other three items to Lao Ma one by one. He came out and said, "Old Ma, all five of these things are fake. Do you think you are being too unkind? " Old Ma bowed to Chu Chen with a smile on his face and said: "Mr. Chu, this is indeed my fault. However, the situation is tense during this period. If you are not careful and get caught, it will be over. The brothers under me are both old and young. If it weren't for the difficulties in life, they wouldn't be in this profession. If something happens again because of my negligence, I won't be able to see their families. Please can you Please bear with me" At this point, he added another sentence: "Young Master Chu, don't worry, I will definitely guarantee your satisfaction for the next thing. If you come back empty-handed in the end, then you will have lost all the money you paid for your trip today. , I will return it tenfold! " "Since you said so, Lao Ma, then I'll wait and see" Seeing that Chu Chen no longer pursues the case for the time being, Lao Ma quickly took out his mobile phone and made a call. After a while, there was another knock on the door. After Ma Xiaoqiang went to open the door, he saw a tall, thick-set man who was also in his thirties, carrying a bag like Lao Cai, and walked in without saying anything nonsense. I took out the items one by one. The first item was what Ma Xiaoqiang mentioned before, the box with colorful cloud and dragon pattern lid.??This box is square in shape with the corners drawn inward. The locals in Jingdezhen call it "Japanese Corner". The mouth of the child and the mother are tightly combined from top to bottom. The enamel of the box is as bright as jade, and the carcass is finely crafted. This box is decorated with five colors. The top of the lid is painted with a consecrated pattern of two dragons playing with beads, decorated with cloud patterns of different shapes; the shoulders of the box are painted with dragon patterns of different shapes. The color of this box is elegant, the painting is neat, the colors are rich, and the patterns are densely laid out. It is a typical decoration of "Ming Dynasty colorful". (To be continued)
