Chu Chen and others were surprised and rushed forward to find out the authenticity of this thing. However, as soon as they approached the bell, they were stopped by the young man, which made everyone frown. The young man smiled and said, "Everyone, please think carefully before you look at this thing. If you get started with it later, you must be able to buy it!" When the old man heard this, he frowned and said, "Buy it or not." , you have to let us see if the things are real or fake, right? Isn¡¯t it right for us to buy fake ones?¡± Hearing what the old man said, the fourth master and the young man both had displeased expressions on their faces. And the guide also said quickly: "Mr. Qu, what you said is that the fourth master is a well-known figure in our country, how could he use things to deceive you?" After hearing this, the fourth master's expression softened a little, and he waved his hand and said "After all, it's two million dollars, so you should be cautious. But are there any experts among you? You can't just say it's fake and it will be in vain, right?" Qi Baofu laughed and said "We really have experts here, and they are also experts who have appeared on Beijing TV's "Collection of the World"." "Who?" Except for Cao Jingde, everyone else looked at Chu Chen and the others with surprised faces, but because Chu Chen saw He looked younger than he looked on TV. They didn't think for a moment that Qi Baofu was talking about Chu Chen. They thought he was Cao Jingde, but they all had no impression of Cao Jingde, so they were somewhat confused. "This is Teacher Chu Chen!" Qi Baofu seemed a little proud as he introduced Chu Chen. Hearing this, Chu Chen smiled bitterly in his heart. After Qi Baofu introduced it like this, he later confirmed the authenticity of this thing. If I want to buy the clock later, will it be so smooth? But that¡¯s it. He could only nod to everyone. Cao Jingde obviously thought of this as he kicked Qi Baofu. He signaled him not to say more for a while. Qi Baofu felt a little strange at first, but he soon realized it, which made him very ashamed. When facing Chu Chen, he felt a little embarrassed. Except for Fourth Master, everyone at the scene has watched "Collection of the World". After looking at Chu Chen, he found that he really looked like the young and shameless Teacher Chu in the show. For a moment. Making them all very surprised. As for saying that Chu Chen is a fake, they think the possibility is relatively small, because if there is no fourth master, Qi Baofu will not introduce Chu Chen's identity. And if it's counterfeit, at most it won't be sold, but if Chu Chen's identity is real, then the value of things that have been appraised by experts can increase in value. Some friends may ask, whether something appreciates in value or not, isn¡¯t it still worth two million? If the person who says this keeps his word. That will definitely have no impact, but there are people in the world who value money more than trustworthiness in their hearts. at this time. The young man next to him muttered in a low voice: "The people on the TV station seem to be older!" "This is not nonsense!" Qi Baofu was speechless when he heard this: "Mr. Chu is so young, for the stage effect, then You have to put on some makeup! Besides, the image on TV is somewhat different from that in reality!¡± There is an old saying. There is no hair on the mouth, and the work is not stable. Especially in the antiques industry, which pays special attention to experience, it is completely normal for the TV station to handle it this way. Therefore, everyone deeply agrees with Qi Baofu's explanation. The fourth master looked at the young man and saw him nodding slightly, and smiled and said: "I didn't expect that an expert from the TV station would come today. It's really brilliant!" "I don't dare to take it seriously" Chu Chen said a few words modestly. , and then said with a smile: "Uncle, can we start?" "Okay" After getting the master's approval, Chu Chen put on his gloves, picked up a magnifying glass and other tools, walked to the mortar clock, and observed carefully . According to historical records, there is no record of the use of bells in the palace of the Ming Dynasty. In the 24th year of Qianlong's reign (1759), eleven ancient bells were unearthed in Gan Province. Asiha, the governor of Gan Province, presented them to the court as tribute, and they were identified by Emperor Qianlong. , this bell is exactly the bell that is recorded in Kangxi's "Lv Lu Zhengyi": "Each bell hangs a bamboo basket, each corresponding to the sound of Lu Lu". When the ancient clock was unearthed, it was the time when the imperial court was deploying troops and returning troops. When the five-year war achieved a decisive victory, according to the ancient system, after a great victory, it was necessary to "make a successful achievement" and "cast a bell and tripod to commemorate the merits", so Emperor Qianlong ordered the club to imitate it. Therefore, the newly cast bell became an extraordinary move that conformed to the ancient system, brought good luck and good fortune, and promoted merit and prestige. It strongly demonstrated the ruler's pursuit of the Zhou rites and Jianzhong harmony, and borrowed the Confucian concept of "rituals and music to guide politics" The idea of ??governing the country was used to achieve the purpose of strengthening imperial rule. This set of bells is made of gold-plated copper and has twelve rings in total to correspond to the twelve laws. Its clockA single set was made in the 26th year of Qianlong's reign, and several sets were made and kept in various places. The upper diameter of the bell is small, the lower diameter is large, the horizontal diameter is small, the vertical diameter is large, and it is oblate. The pitches are arranged in order. The bigger the bell, the lower the sound. When playing, the rhythm is used as the palace, that is, a certain rhythm is placed. The bell is located in the east of the chime bell. When making music, the bell should be struck first to announce its sound, which is the so-called golden sound of "golden sound and jade vibration". It is an important part of the "Zhonghe Shao music" of court elegant music. With the help of the young man, and after careful identification inside and out, Chu Chen was sure that the plow clock in front of him was indeed genuine, but When Chu Chen put away the tool, everyone looked at it eagerly. Looking at him, he nodded and said: "This wormwood clock is indeed genuine!" After receiving Chu Chen's reply, Qi Baofu and others, as guests, were all very surprised. You know, this kind of wormwood clock is a valuable weapon of the country. Even if there is only one piece, it is of amazing value. If it is a set, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is worth a fortune. In the past, they had only seen this kind of bell in the Forbidden City. Now that they can have close contact with their own eyes, it is no wonder that they are so excited. "For Fourth Master and the others, Chu Chen's words are a weight to increase the value of the clock, and of course they will be very excited. After a while, the Fourth Master asked with a smile: "Expert Chu, do you plan to buy this clock?" Chu Chen nodded: "Uncle, I can take over two million for this clock!" "Yeah. Humph!" Fourth Master cleared his throat and said, "Expert Chu, I" "Wait!" Before he could finish his words, the old man interrupted him and said: " Brother, can I buy this hammer? " "Hey! What's wrong with you!" As soon as the old man finished speaking, Qi Baofu said angrily: "We just gave it up to you. , but you crossed the river and burned the bridge, and you ignored the rules of the antique industry!" "Tsk!" The old man sneered: "What is the value of that thing just now? What is the value of this thing? , I can also transfer the bottle to you! Besides, this clock is only sold for two million, is it too cheap? I did this for the sake of my brother! " I listened to the old man! After some words, Fourth Master almost felt happy. Originally, he really wanted to increase the price of things, but if he did so, it would be unreasonable. Of course, he could also do it forcefully, but in this way, he would lose face. It definitely doesn't look good. Now that the old man has jumped out, for Fourth Master and the others, it is like a pillow for a drowsy sleep, and they feel so happy. "You" Qi Baofu was about to say something, but Chu Chen stopped him and said with a smile: "In that case, the one with the highest price will get it. What do you think, sir?" Someone is standing up for him now, Fourth Master. Of course, it was impossible to appear eager anymore, so he pondered for a while, and then smiled bitterly in response to the old man's expectation: "I originally planned to spend two million, but there is only one thing, and you can't divide it into Two halves, one for each person? Now there is no other way except Expert Chu¡¯s proposal. I wonder if this old gentleman agrees?¡± ¡°I agree, I will pay 2.5 million!¡± The old man nodded repeatedly. , and quoted the price directly. "You are only worthy of two hundred and fifty!" Chu Chen sneered secretly, and then said: "I will pay two million eight hundred thousand!" "Three million!" The old man replied quickly. "Three million and one hundred thousand!" "Three million and three hundred thousand" Although there were only two people bidding, the scene was very fierce. In the end, the old man bought the clock for 4.93 million. Come down. Seeing that he had won the final victory, the old man smiled very proudly at Chu Chen, as if to say: "So what if he is an expert!" Then, for the sake of safety, the old man immediately signed an agreement with the Fourth Master. contract. "Brother, how should we pay the money? Do you want to transfer money or check?" the old man asked with a smile. "It's better to go to the bank to transfer the money. It's safer! However, before transferring the money, the things must be placed here. Anyway, you have a contract and I can't run away." Fourth Master replied. Although the old man wanted to take the things back with him, but he hadn't transferred the money yet, which meant that the things didn't officially belong to him yet, so he could only agree: "Okay, Xiao Fang, you have to be careful here. "The young man named Xiao Fang immediately nodded excitedly. This was an important weapon worth more than 4.9 million yuan, plus a commission of more than 5 million yuan. This was the first time he had such a close contact. HowHow could you not be excited? Then, the old man and the young man walked quickly out the door. After the old man left, Chu Chen was also ready to leave. However, Qi Baofu felt that the reason why Chu Chen did not buy this precious clock today was entirely because he revealed Chu Chen's identity, and he felt very sorry. So, before leaving, Qi Baofu asked: "Uncle, you see, we finally came here today, and it's really not good to just come back empty-handed! You don't know if there are any good things, some are If so, just take it out and show it to us!¡± (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
