    Seeing this situation, Qi Baolin was speechless, so he took out a small notebook from his pocket, handed it to Chu Chen, and said, "Mr. Chu, you'd better sign this!" Qi Baofu also knew that his behavior was somewhat  Childish, of course it is impossible to object to this.  On the other side, Chu Chen happily signed his name on the notebook.  "Thank you, Teacher Chu, let's go in!" Qi Baofu looked at the signature on the notebook with great joy, then carefully put it away, and quickly made an invitation to everyone with a smile on his face.  The group of people followed Qi Baofu to a private room. Unexpectedly, a middle-aged man of nearly fifty years old was already sitting inside.  This made Qi Baolin very speechless. Originally, today's meal was mainly to apologize to Chu Chen for what happened at the beginning. Of course, the fewer people in this kind of meal, the better. Although it is inconvenient to have an extra cousin now,  After all, he is a member of his own family, but he didn't expect that there is an unfamiliar outsider now. What does this mean?  "Knowing that this guy is known as unreliable in the family, I actually agreed just now. I really deserve it!" Qi Baolin cursed himself secretly. In this situation, it is not convenient to go anywhere else, so he can only  I hope Chu Chen can eat happily in a while.  In fact, not only Qi Baolin felt awkward, but the person who was sitting in the private room was also surprised when Chu Chen and the others came.  However, when he learned that the young man in front of him was Chu Chen, who had been a guest on "Collection of the World", his face also showed surprise, and he also expressed a warm welcome to Chu Chen's arrival.  Although Qi Baofu is a bit unreliable and his ability to identify antiques is not very good, he is quite enthusiastic and likes to make friends.  There are many Tibetan friends in the capital and surrounding areas, and he has several friends who are also experts familiar to Chu Chen.  Through Qi Baofu¡¯s introduction, Chu Chen learned that the middle-aged man in front of him was also Qi Baofu¡¯s Tibetan friend in Wucheng.  His name was Cao Jingde, and it was he who identified the blue and white jar that Qi Baofu bought as a fake.  Cao Jingde and Qi Baofu are both people who love antiques. Now they finally met Chu Chen, and the topic was of course not about antiques. Fortunately, these investigators, including Qi Baolin, were there.  Because of their work, they also gained some knowledge about antiques, and they were able to add a few words to the conversation about antiques. The atmosphere during the dinner was quite lively.  After three rounds of drinking.  Qi Baofu looked at Cao Jingde, and then said to Chu Chen with a smile: "Mr. Chu, I finally met you today. I have a piece of porcelain. I wonder if I can ask you for advice?" "I don't dare to ask for advice.  Let's learn together!" Chu Chen said modestly.  "Teacher Chu, you are too polite" Qi Baofu chuckled, and then took out his bag from the cabinet in the corner.  He took out a large brocade box.  He put the brocade box in front of Chu Chen, opened it and saw a large water chestnut bottle inside.  "Teacher Chu. This is a bottle I went to an antique store to look at. I thought the price was not expensive, so I bought it. Could you please help me comment on it?" Chu Chen did not look at the thing first, but looked at Cao Jingde first.  , the other party chuckled and said: "I just helped Lao Qi look at the blue and white jar he just bought. But he just hugged the thing and left. I haven't looked at the bottle yet. Teacher Chu, please take a look first."  Chu Chen nodded happily, and then took the water chestnut bottle in his hand.  Observed.  The water chestnut bottle is a bottle style popular in the Qing Dynasty and is named after its shape like a water chestnut.  This vase is nearly one centimeter high, dignified and heavy. The whole body is decorated with pastels. The rim of the mouth and the shins are decorated with Ruyi cloud patterns and a deformed lotus petal pattern. It is covered with cloud bat patterns from the neck down to the abdomen, with red bats on the sides.  Five-color auspicious clouds are flying among them, with different shapes and dense composition, implying great blessings in the sky.  In addition, the bottom of the bottle is covered with white glaze, and the four-character regular script inscription "Made by Shen De Tang" is written in alum red.  "Shende Hall" is a group of buildings in the Old Summer Palace. It is located to the west of Jiuzhou Qingyan in the Old Summer Palace. It was built in the 10th year of Daoguang and completed the following year. It was a living palace of Emperor Daoguang in the Old Summer Palace. He mainly lived in the Old Summer Palace in his later years.  this.  It is also a famous model of Guangxu official kiln porcelain.  Chu Chen looked at the bottle and made a judgment on the authenticity of the bottle, and then made a gesture to Cao Jingde.  At this time, Qi Baofu couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Chu, what do you think of this pastel water chestnut bottle?" Chu Chen did not answer directly, but first asked: "Mr. Lin, I don't know why you thought of buying this bottle in the first place.  "A bottle?" Qi Baofu blurted out: "Because the bottle has a clam light!" Upon hearing this, Cao Jingde raised his head and said, "I said, Lao Lin, you are a bit wrong. I have read a book before.  It is said that the clam light is due to some metallic elements in the glaze color, which has lasted for nearly 300 years.As time passes, it gradually dissipates onto the porcelain surface, thus forming a ¡®clam light¡¯.  Therefore, only the colored glazes of porcelain from the Kangxi and Yongzheng dynasties of the Qing Dynasty can have this kind of "clam light".  " After hearing Cao Jingde's explanation, Chu Chen immediately understood that Cao Jingde's level of porcelain appraisal was not much higher. Qi Baofu immediately retorted: "Old Cao, what you said is too absolute. I  I have seen clam light on a Jiaqing colorful bowl owned by a friend of mine before.  Moreover, look at the decoration on this bottle. If it were not an artifact from an official kiln, would it be of such a high level?  " "This" Cao Jingde looked at the bottle in his hand and couldn't tell the reason for a moment, so he turned his attention to Chu Chen and wanted to hear his opinion. Seeing everyone looking at him, Chu Chen  He smiled and said: "About the clam light, Mr. Lin is right about one thing. In the actual collection process, not only have clam lights been found on the pastel glaze of Jiaqing Dynasty porcelain in the mid-Qing Dynasty, but there are only more than a hundred of them.  Some colored porcelain from the Tongzhi and Guangxu years also had this halo.  Therefore, if this bottle is genuine, it is possible that there will be clam light.  " After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Qi Baofu's face was full of smiles. However, Chu Chen changed the subject and said: "But this must be based on the premise that the thing is genuine. As for the bottle, Mr. Lin, I'm sorry.  I'm not too optimistic!  "    "how come?  !  "Qi Baofu had a look of astonishment on his face, and his words made him feel as if he had fallen from heaven into hell. He suddenly felt cold all over. At this time, Qi Baolin said: "Master Chu, my cousin often doesn't see the coffin.  Don't cry, just tell me the specific reasons.  " Qi Baofu didn't care at all about Qi Baolin's words. He was now full of thoughts about how his things could be fakes. He asked eagerly: "Teacher Chu, please be more clear.  " Seeing what he said, Chu Chen explained directly: "Clam light is metallic luster. The reason why it has metallic luster is because the metal elements contained in the color material gradually gather on the surface of the color material after oxidation, fusion, etc.  This is basically the same principle as the anti-copper principle of bronze. When these metal ions gather on the surface, they produce metallic luster, which is what we commonly call clam light.  " "The activities and changes of metal elements are definitely not formed in a short time, but now that science and technology are advanced, everyone knows the causes, and it is easier to handle. Just add more metal elements to the glaze, so most imitations  There will always be clam lights, but clam lights are very dead, just in that area.  Unlike the real thing, there are many places that are not mentioned, and it looks very natural.  " After listening to Chu Chen's explanation, when Qi Baofu looked at his bottle again, he felt more and more awkward, and the more he looked at it, the more he understood that his thing was probably a fake. But there was one more thing that he felt was strange, so he spoke  Asked: "Teacher Chu, why is the painter of this bottle so good?  Could it be that the person who made it also has particularly superb painting skills?  " Chu Chen shook his head: "Of course not. As I said just now, our current technology is so advanced, and we have computers, so many things can be copied" When Qi Baofu heard this, he immediately understood.  Chu Chen was surprised and said, "Teacher Chu, you mean to say that the pattern on my bottle was copied from the original pattern?  " Chu Chen nodded and said: "That's true. Its principle is similar to the painted tiles on the market.  And have you noticed that the pattern on this bottle is actually a little crooked? I guess it may be that it was not adjusted properly when it was made, so the printing was crooked.  " When Cao Jingde heard this, he quickly put the bottle on the table. Everyone saw that it was exactly what Chu Chen said. The decoration on the bottle was really crooked. This made Qi Baofu stunned. He kept blaming himself for not being careful when looking at things.  At this time, Qi Baolin said earnestly: "Cousin, you have been playing with antiques for so many years. When did you buy something, didn't you say that it was caused by your own carelessness?  After so many years, you have made so many mistakes in this field and lost so much money, but your level has not improved at all. I think since you have no talent in antiques, you should stop early!  " Qi Baofu was a little embarrassed when he heard this. He touched his nose and said resolutely: "Antiques are my only hobby. How can I just stop it?  And in the past few years, my skills have become much better than before, and I don¡¯t know how to bargain when buying things like before. Isn¡¯t this all progress!  " Qi Baolin was speechless and said to himself: "Your progress is all piled up with money, and the proportion of progress is not proportional to the money spent. What is the meaning of this kind of progress?  ¡± Although I think so, Qi Bao??I also know that my cousin is particularly obsessed with antiques, and he is also good at making money, so his family's economy will not be affected by the loss of antiques.  Therefore, after seeing that Qi Baofu had no intention of repenting, Qi Baolin let him go.  (To be continued) PS: I wish everyone a happy Christmas Eve!
