    But perhaps because the authorities were obsessed with it, the old man didn't think about this problem at all. He shook his head and said: "That's no good. This thing is worth so much money. If I spend so much money, if I tell it, others will give me a hammer. At most  300! " "Then put it down. I can't sell it at a loss. If you say it's not worth it, I'll just leave it here and let a fool buy it one day" Since the old man is interested in this pair  After a long period of ink-writing, the old man finally gave the fellow 2,800 yuan, but the fellow was extremely reluctant.  Then, the old man asked again: "Brother, what other good things do you have? Look at the two things you sold me, they are not very good. No matter what, you have to give me one. If not this time  Looking at Lao Zhou¡¯s face, and I don¡¯t want to pay for it in vain, otherwise I would definitely not buy it.¡± The fellow thought for a while and said slowly: ¡°I still have one thing, but the price you gave me is too high!  If it's too low, I'll have to pay for this bottle. If it hadn't been sold for so long after it was taken back, I wouldn't sell it to you at all. Now you still want me to give you something, that's definitely impossible.  "When the old man heard what he said, his expression immediately changed. He smiled and said, "It's okay. Show me the things. The price is easy." The fellow looked at the old man with a look of reluctance. At this time,  The guide walked in from outside the door and said, "Hey, why aren't you better yet?" The fellow simply explained the matter, and the guide waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, what are you doing?"  , take it out and see what else can happen. Hurry up. I have to take them to the fourth master¡¯s place later. I don¡¯t dare to keep him waiting for too long!¡± The fellow hurriedly started after hearing what the guide said.  From the drawer of the table next to the bed, I took out a bag and opened the layers of luggage.  There were several writing brushes inside.  Seeing that there were a few writing brushes in the bag, the young man following the old man couldn't help but curled his lips. It seemed as if it was just a few writing brushes.  What's the point!  Seeing this, Chu Chen secretly smiled. If young people can continue to play in the antique business, they will know that the four treasures of the study are top-notch among miscellaneous items, and the writing brush only needs to be over a hundred years old.  The price will be very high, and the slightly better ones can basically be sold at Jiade.  Chu Chen took a closer look and found that these brushes were all good. The materials of the brush tubes include red, huanghuali, ivory, etc. Although the styles were all from the Qing Dynasty, most of them were worth five thousand yuan.  above.  So, Chu Chen quietly kicked Qi Baofu and Cao Jingde with his feet.  Asking them not to miss these brushes, they both nodded slightly in understanding.  The old man held the brush and pretended to look at it for a while, and finally chose the biggest one.  Without asking the price, he just said to the fellow villager: "Okay, you said you would accompany me for the bottle just now, and I will give you 1,000 yuan for this writing brush. Okay. I'll let you make a big profit this time." Chu Chen  When I saw the old man's choice, I knew it in my heart.  This old man probably doesn't know how to pretend to understand. There are obviously good ones but he chose the most superficial one.  Other brushes are basically worth more than 5,000 yuan, but this brush is the least valuable, less than 2,000 yuan.  Hearing this, the fellow quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, the writing brush is a good thing. I took this thing back for 2,000 yuan!" The old man said with an unhappy face: "Forget it, you took it back for 2,000? 1,000  Give it to me, don¡¯t give it to me!¡± The fellow thought about it and finally sold it to the old man.  The old man chose a writing brush, and there were six left. Chu Chen and the others originally wanted to choose two each, but the fellow villagers refused and only agreed to choose one each.  So, Chu Chen let Qi Baofu and the others choose first, and then he pocketed the most valuable red brush.  After clearing the money and goods, the group followed the guide out of the door.  When they got outside, the guide said: "Boss Cao, I've already gone over there to negotiate, but you have to be prepared. Things are not cheap!" Cao Jingde looked at Chu Chen and Qi Baofu and saw that they were fine.  He said: "Lao Zhou, as long as the things are good, we have no problem at all." In fact, judging from the behavior of the fellow just now, the guide and him should be a team, and the two of them work together to deceive people.  However, the things they took out were not very good. Anyone with a little bit of eyesight could see it. As for the old man, it was also a matter of his eyesight that he was deceived.  To be honest, now that he knows that the guide is probably a liar, Cao Jingde really doesn't want to go to the next house with him, but this is what they asked for before, and they will definitely not agree if they don't agree. Anyway, they have Chu Chen as a reassurance.  Now, there's no problem in agreeing. ?Seeing that Chu Chen and the others agreed, the guide added: "Let's talk about the cost next. I want three points, how about it?" Three points may not seem like much, but if the value of the thing is high, it will be considerable.  For example, if it is one million, there will be a benefit fee of 30,000, which is also very good.  For Chu Chen, as long as the thing is good, even if the thing is worth tens of millions, he will not be vague about the small fee. Cao Jingde and Qi Baofu also said that there is no problem.  The guide smiled and nodded: "Let's settle this matter, will you come with me?" At this time, the old man asked: "Old Zhou, can we go see the world together?" With what we just said  He was very satisfied with the harvest, but when he heard something of higher value, he began to feel itchy and wanted to go and see what it was.  The guide looked at Chu Chen and the others, and seeing that they had no expression, he smiled and said, "No problem" The group of people followed the guide and walked around to the door of a farmer's house. During this period, perhaps because they felt that they had gained a lot today.  , the old man softly taught the young man next to him for a while.  He said: "Look at the bottom of that old porcelain. It's all dirty, not clean. Think about it, that thing has been used for so many years and is kept everywhere. The bottom must be dirty. And if you touch it with your hands,  , It must feel tingling." Hearing this, the young man asked curiously: "Master, why is this?" The old man said with a smile: "The reason is simple, think about it, it doesn't matter if you keep it for so many years.  What is it, even if it is a large or standing piece, someone will always wipe it, and sometimes it will be moved. If the bottom of the porcelain is rubbed frequently, it will definitely not be so smooth and it will feel irritating. " "In addition, the maid will hold it.  When wiping porcelain with a rag, if the rag is not clean, there will be some small dust particles on it, which will scratch the surface of the porcelain. This is a sign of use. If you master these two points, you will definitely not get an eyelash! ¡± Chu Chen  He had a good ear, so he listened to every word of what the old man said. At the end, he almost burst out laughing.  You want to say, is the experience of the old man correct?  There must be some truth to that, but this theory can only be valid for some porcelain.  ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????For example, the Duomu teapot in the Forbidden City was burned and put in the box without being taken out? Where are the traces of use?  Where did the bottom come from that was dirty?  The thing still looked like new.  The old man¡¯s teaching of his apprentice was completely misleading, but the young man nodded excitedly, probably regarding this statement as valuable experience and wealth.  " However, it was not convenient for Chu Chen to talk about this kind of thing. After all, no one was familiar with it, so he just told the other party that the theory his master said was wrong. It would be strange if the young man didn't think he had ulterior motives.  The guide knocked on the door of the famous residence. After a while, a young man in his thirties came and opened the door.  "Uncle Zhou, you're here!" The young man greeted the guide with a smile and nodded to the others.  The guide also smiled and said hello to the young man, and then the young man led everyone into the hall.  At this time, in addition to an old man in his seventies sitting in the room, there was also something covered with a cloth not far from the old man.  The guide said respectfully to the old man sitting in the hall: "Fourth Master, I brought the guests here!" The Fourth Master nodded, and then said: "I won't say more nonsense, I will just say a few words.  , you can look at this thing, but you can't touch it with your hands. Of course, if you can buy it, it doesn't matter if you touch it with your hands." Upon hearing this, Chu Chen asked, "Fourth Master, how much do you want for this thing?  "Money?" "Two million! Not even one cent less!" The fourth master gestured with his hands.  I heard that the item was going to be sold for two million. Chu Chen was fine when he arrived, but the others were a little shocked, especially the young man, who looked dumbfounded.  Chu Chen smiled slightly and said: "No problem!" "Everyone please!" Fourth Master made an invitation to everyone, and then the young man took off the cloth covering the things.  "This is a bell!" When Chu Chen saw the whole thing, he couldn't help but be stunned, and Qi Baofu next to him immediately exclaimed.  The bell is an ancient percussion instrument. In ancient times, it was made of bronze. It was also called the "special bell" and was played with a mallet.  The bell is compared to the chime bell. The latter is made up of hanging bells, while the former is called special hanging bells.  This bell is in the shape of a shingle, with reverse buckles and thirty-six raised copper nails. It has inscriptions on the front and back. The positive side of the body is engraved with seal script and the imperial inscription of Emperor Qianlong. The name of the bell is cast on the back. The whole body is gilded.    In the ancient temperament system, an octave is divided into twelve semitones that are not completely equal using the three-point gain and loss method.  The twelve laws each have six yin and yang, which coincide with the time of December. The laws from low to high are: Huangzhong, Dalu, Taicu, Jiazhong, Guxi, Zhonglu, Ruibin, Linzhong, Yize,  Nan Lu, without shooting, should answer the bell.  The corresponding twelve bells are not displayed together, and only the bells of the current month are set, such as yellow bells in November, dalu in twelfth, taicu in the first month, and so on.  The melody of this bell is "Zhonglu", which is the sixth of the twelve bells.  (To be continued)
