    Chu Chen smiled bitterly and replied: "Mr. Xu, to be honest, I'm not sure whether this is an imitation." This pen holder was so realistically made that if it weren't for the supernatural power, there would be no mistakes. In addition, he felt that the glaze color  Apart from the fact that there are some problems, he also doesn't believe that this pen holder is a replica.  But it was so realistic that it was difficult for Chu Chen to give a reason for judging it to be a fake. He couldn't say it was the result of a supernatural power, right?  Mr. Xu was a little strange when he heard this: "Then why do you think this is an imitation?" Chu Chen said: "Because I have two landscape and figure bottles at home. The painting method and scenery of this pen holder are the same, only the details  There are slight differences in aspects, and more importantly, the bottles are all marked by Zhang Huoni. "Zhang Huoni?" Mr. Xu's face suddenly showed a look of shock after a while.  , he came back to his senses and asked quickly: "Is it really Zhang Huoni?" Chu Chen said seriously: "I have carefully identified it, it is indeed him!" Mr. Xu knew that Chu Chen should not be here  He was joking about this kind of thing. Besides, everything belonged to Chu Chen, so why would he deliberately tell the truth as false?  Then Mr. Xu took a closer look at the pen holder in front of him and murmured: "Could this be a replica? It shouldn't be, right?" At this point, he began to think deeply again, and after a while, he spoke.  Said: "Xiao Chu, do you think those two bottles of yours were made by Zhang Huoni based on this pen holder?" Chu Chen could only follow Mr. Xu's statement now, nodded and said: "Indeed  It is possible, but do you think there is something wrong with the patina of this pen holder? " Generally speaking, it is necessary to identify the real Chongzhen porcelain.  First of all, you must understand the glaze color of Ming Dynasty porcelain.  Ming porcelain is different from Qing porcelain because of its age.  The passed-down products have a thick paste, so the glaze color is particularly brighter than that of clear porcelain.  The glaze color is dark and muddy.  If the glaze has no bright color, and the blue and white are dull and have no agility, do not easily identify them even if the pattern style, standard shape, and blue and white hair color are all right.  After Chu Chen reminded him, when Mr. Xu looked carefully, he did feel that the coating on the pen holder did not look that thick. He thought about it and said, "The coating is indeed not in place, but is it possible? This thing is very long.  Time has been idle, so the patina has not been formed in place? "As mentioned before, the patina on porcelain is the result of people playing and wiping it for a long time.  So, if people don¡¯t play with and wipe it every day.  Especially in ancient times, when the air was clean and the dust was dusted only a few times a year, it was more difficult to form "puff".  In this way, it is possible that the coating of this pen holder is not in place.  Chu Chen said: "It is indeed possible, but Mr. Xu. This is a daily utensil, and it is such a beautiful pen holder. If it were you, would you often play with it and wipe it?" Mr. Xu was startled when he heard this.  Then I remembered that the pen holder is a stationery item, and most people get such a well-made pen holder.  How could it be left unused forever?  Of course, the possibility of leaving it alone is not impossible.  But not big.  Thinking of this, Mr. Xu also understood Chu Chen¡¯s judgment.  If it was just the coating problem, then the possibility of imitation was not high, but coupled with the fact that a pair of bottles with basically the same scenery were related to Zhang Huoni, a master counterfeiter, it was no wonder that Chu Chen felt that the pen holder was an imitation.  The possibility of doing so is greater.  After Xu Lao pondered for a moment, he said: "Xiao Chu, even if this pen holder is a fake, it is difficult to prove. What are you going to do?" Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Take it back first and let my master take a look.  , If he can't find a flaw, he can only use instruments to identify it, but using instruments to identify it requires sampling, I'm still a little reluctant to do so. " "That's true, but if you get the result, please tell me!  "Mr. Xu smiled, not to mention that Chu Chen was reluctant to part with it, even he was reluctant to part with it, and after identification, it would be fine if it was a fake, but if it was the genuine article, there would be some regrets.  Chu Chen nodded and said, "That's for sure" Putting the pen holder back into the box, Chu Chen opened the box below, which contained a strange-looking object.  The upper part is cup-shaped, and the body is engraved with imperial poems by Qianlong. The lower part is an ox's head, with eyes as big as bells, horns erect, and ears flaring outward, giving it the power of a tiger and an emperor.  "Hey, what is this?" Wu Ke was quite surprised to see such a strange object.  ¡°Isn¡¯t it written on it, this is Zhou Si Gong.¡± Chu Chen said with a smile.  "Is this a gong? It doesn't seem right!" Wu Ke looked at the thing and felt that it was completely different from the gong he had seen before.  Gong is a drinking vessel popular from the late Shang Dynasty to the early Western Zhou Dynasty.  Song Ouyang Xiu's "The Drunkard's Pavilion" contains: "The wines are exchanged, the people sit up and drink.The sentence "those who make a fuss bring joy to all the guests". The gongchiu referred to here is a similar utensil. Xu Shen's "Shuowen" states that "the gong is a person who can drink from the horns of an ox."  "It can be seen that its prototype is a drinking vessel made of animal horns, similar to the horn cups still used by modern nomads. There are also oval or square bodies, and the lid is often made into an animal shape. Some even have the whole vessel made of  It was in the shape of an animal, with its head and back as its cover, its body as its abdomen, and its four legs as its feet. Obviously, the bird in front of him was different from the one in the record. For this reason, Wu Kecai felt it was very strange.  Explained: "You also know that Emperor Qianlong loved collecting antiquities. In addition to enjoying them, he also organized civil servants to compile ancient antiquities catalogs such as "Ancient Mirror of the Western Qing Dynasty", "Ningshou Jiangu" and "Continued Mirror of the Western Qing Dynasty".  The craftsmen in the palace were often ordered to imitate them with various materials, making them feel elegant and interesting.  " "This Qing Qianlong lacquer antique inscribed 'Zhou Si Gong' should be an antique display made by the craftsmen of the Manufacturing Office under the order of Emperor Qianlong according to the ancient bronzes collected in the palace. However, this type of utensil should be consistent with the archaeological findings of the Middle Ages.  The "Lai Tong" popular among the Eurasian steppe people is very similar and is not the real "Si Gong".  " After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Wu Ke suddenly understood. At the same time, Mr. Xu next to him smiled and said: "Xiao Chu, you are proficient in everything. You even know this.  " Chu Chen scratched his head and said modestly: "This is just because of my good memory. This kind of artifact was auctioned by Sotheby's in 1987. My master happened to have research information, so I just recited it.  Hearing this, Mr. Xu laughed and said, "It's not like I don't know your level. What else is there to be humble about? In a few years, you will become the pillar of this industry!"  "Chu Chen didn't dare to take it seriously. After a few words of humility, he asked Mr. Xu to appreciate it first. After both of them had appreciated it, Wu Ke couldn't wait to ask: "Is this thing real or fake?  "Mr. Xu, you are an expert in this area, so you should speak first!"  "Chu Chen smiled and made a gesture of invitation. Mr. Xu was not polite and said directly: "This vessel is dignified and majestic, but it is also carefully made, with ingenious conception and exquisite craftsmanship. It pursues the ultimate in both shape and craftsmanship.  Although the body of the vessel is decorated with large lacquer, it can simulate the unique metallic texture of copper and produce warmth and light. All of these are breathtaking.  Put it on the desk, its artistic beauty will make people appreciate it, and it will also show the owner's extraordinary mind and magnanimity.  " "Moreover, drinking wine is associated with the best wishes of longevity and boundless longevity.  "The Book of Songs? July" says: Entering the court hall, greeting each other, wishing for longevity without borders, raising wine glasses to congratulate each other, the toast is 'Longevity without borders'" At the end of the sentence, Mr. Xu sighed: "Utensils like this  , but it was rare, and the meaning was so good that Chai Ping was so happy that he also had a good heart.  " Chu Chen nodded and agreed. At this time, Wu Ke asked again: "Then how much is this thing worth?  " "I think two million.  "Chu Chen made an estimate, and then gave a rough price. Mr. Xu nodded in agreement. "It's only two million!  This Chai Pingle is a bit too stingy!  "Wu Ke frowned and was very dissatisfied with the value of the thing. Mr. Xu smiled slightly when he heard this. If the pen holder before was genuine, it would be worth about two million. The two items together would be worth four million.  After all, Chu Chen had nothing to lose. These two items alone seemed to him a lot, not to mention that there was still one box left that had not been opened, and the value of the contents was not much lower. Chu Chen said with a smile.  There is no need to worry about the value of the money you have received.  And that Mr. Zhang has his own little Jiujiu, so don¡¯t be influenced by him.  " Of course, having said that, if the apology sent by Chai Pingle is not of high value, although he will not do anything to Chai Pingle, he will feel that Chai Pingle is too petty in his heart. "Mr. Xu is also an old man in the world. After hearing this,  , he immediately understood why Wu Ke thought Chai Pingle was stingy, so he confirmed it again and asked: "The things Mr. Zhang sent are more valuable than Chai Pingle?  "    "right!  And two are only worth one.  " Wu Ke explained, and then asked curiously: "Achen, what does Mr. Zhang mean?  " "He just wants to be with Chai Pingle and try to win favor" Chu Chen smiled and explained the possibility that he had thought of before. After hearing Chu Chen's explanation, Wu Ke and Mr. Xu felt that it was really possible.  , and the effect of this method is generally good, that is, Mr. Zhang did not expect that Chu Chen did not care about it. If Chu Chen was a little domineering, then Chai Pingle would definitely be beaten by Chu Chen because of this. Mr. Xu said with a smile.  : "Haha, after listening to your explanation, Xiao Chu, I also remembered that the value of the things Mr. Zhang sent just now seems to be really high.Chai Pingle is a little taller. It seems that Mr. Zhang really wants to part ways with Chai Pingle.  " Chu Chen didn't want to interfere with the affairs between Mr. Zhang and Chai Pingle. He smiled and said: "It's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married, let him go" Next, Chu Chen opened the last one  Inside the brocade box is a blue and white dragon and phoenix wash from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty. The painting is exquisite, the layers are clear, the blue and white are rich, and the crystal spots are deep into the fetal bones. It should be a top-grade blue and white porcelain from the official kiln during the Xuande period.  . (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
