When Chu Chen returned to Beijing from the porcelain capital, he used the method he had used before to reveal the text recorded on the last few pages of the notebook. {{wx} The above content is relatively simple, with only two items. One is to explain that the three bottles and brushes with very similar patterns that Chu Chen bought before did indeed play a key role in opening the treasure. Function, but what the function is needs to be guessed by the person who obtains these three things. Seeing such vague information again, Chu Chen almost yelled, you said the results were almost there and you were still secretive, couldn't you just say it out loud? However, for a person with psychological problems like Zhang Huoni, Chu Chen felt that there was nothing to scold. Besides, the others were already dead, so scolding him would have no effect. Moreover, since the thing was already in his hands, he believed in himself. You can think of it sooner or later. Apart from that, the rest is the clue of the candlestick. The text records that the candlestick and a jade pendant were given to a friend by Zhang Huoni. The jade pendant was also drawn on it and its specific characteristics were described. Originally, Zhang Huoni did not record the name information of his friend. Chu Chen thought that he must be looking for a needle in a haystack again, but what a coincidence was that the jade pendant he bought from Pang Huoni today, regardless of the carved pattern, Every detail was actually the same as what was recorded in the notes, which made him almost think that he had read it wrong. For this reason, he also used his special ability to verify it. The jade pendant was made during the Republic of China period. In addition, the material and pattern are also the same. It is basically certain that it is the jade pendant mentioned in the notes. After it was confirmed that it was indeed the jade pendant, Chu Chen felt a little anxious. After all, it was related to the clues to the remaining parts of the treasure map. The main thing is. The owner of the jade pendant is actually a gambler who is in debt. If the candlestick is also with him. It is very likely that he will pay off the debt. Of course, after all, it has been so many years. It is possible that the candlestick and the jade pendant are not in the hands of the same person, or that the candlestick has been broken, but in any case, the possibility that the person knows the clues to the candlestick is still very high. So, after the transaction was completed, Chu Chen casually asked for the person's information. Pang Laohu thought that Chu Chen still wanted to buy antiques from that person. In addition to giving the detailed information to Chu Chen, he also told Chu Chen that the person only had four antiques in his house. These four antiques were given to the man's father by others. Also, because that person still owes some debts, he has gone somewhere else to hide from his debts, and he doesn¡¯t know when he will come back. Although the matter was a little troublesome, Chu Chen felt that there was no need to find that person, because unless he was the only one in his family, there was probably someone else who knew who gave the jade pendant. But it was really unfortunate that that person was really alone, which made Chu Chen somewhat helpless. Apart from asking people to search for him, we can only wait for that person to come back. ¡¡¡ Monday came in the blink of an eye. Chu Chen had just gone to the antique shop to deal with things for a while when Lao Wu walked up to Chu Chen. Said: "Boss, yesterday a shovel I knew before called me and told me how many good things he had. He asked me if I was interested, and I agreed to him." Chu Chen asked: "You want me to come and take a look together. ?" Lao Wu shook his head: "That's not true. I want Zuo Shan to go with me." After hearing this, Chu Chen understood the meaning. Asked: "What, there is something wrong with that person?" Lao Wu said: "It's not that there is a problem, the main reason is that he hasn't contacted me for a long time, so I have to be on guard." As mentioned before, the antiques industry is a mixed bag, making traps and burying. There are countless landmines and so on, so Lao Wu should be prepared for any accidents. Chu Chen asked: "You didn't let him come to our store to trade?" "Of course he did, but he said that the things were too big to carry, so he asked me to pass, so I have to be more careful." Speaking of this, Lao Wu chuckled and said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you turn it down, but I also picked up a few leaks from him before, and Zuo Shan escorted me, so I just wanted to take a look, don't miss a good opportunity." Chu Chen smiled He smiled and asked: "Is the place far away?" "Not far" Lao Wu gave the address. When Chu Chen heard the name of the place, it was a coincidence that it happened to be near the courtyard where Wei Zhongxian's treasure was hidden. Speaking of which, Chu Chen asked Zuo Shan to inquire about the sale of the courtyard house, but there was no result yet. Originally, Zuo Shan could just find a reason to visit the owner, but he was rejected. It wasn't that the owner didn't want to sell the house, but that he didn't even meet the owner in person. After that, he asked the neighbors After a while, I realized that the homeowner was hospitalized during this time and was not at home. In this case, Zuo ShanHe couldn't go to the hospital to ask, so Chu Chen asked him to pay attention to the matter. The specific matter would be discussed after the homeowner was discharged from the hospital. Chu Chen thought for a while, and there was nothing going on in the store anyway, so he said, "Then let me go too." "This" Lao Wu was a little hesitant when he heard the words. Youdao is the son of a rich man, and he can't sit down in front of the audience. Dare to put Chu Chen in danger. Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand: "It's not like you don't know my skills. Plus Zuoshan is not in the wilderness, so how can there be any risks?" Lao Wu thought this was true, and then Nod in agreement. Chu Chen went to pick up Zuo Shan at the courtyard house that was being renovated, and then asked Zuo Shan to drive them to the address mentioned by Lao Wu just now. After getting out of the car, Chu Chen discovered that it was also an antique shop. When I walked into the antique shop, I saw an old man in his fifties and sixties and a middle-aged man in his forties, drinking tea and chatting there. When they saw Chu Chen and the others coming in, they quickly stood up and greeted them. The middle-aged man smiled and shook hands with Lao Wu: "Lao Wu, it's been a long time no see." Lao Wu smiled and said: "Did you go somewhere to get rich? You haven't seen me for more than a year." Middle-aged man The man patted his belly: "Look, all the oil and water in my belly is gone. How can I make money? It's not like you. I heard that I followed a big boss and now my registered permanent residence is in the capital." After that, he also Looking at Chu Chen, the meaning is self-evident. After hearing these words, Lao Wu finally understood why the middle-aged man found him. One possibility is that the other party knew that he was rich, so he thought of himself. What is more likely is that the other party's things are of relatively high value and require his boss, Chu Chen, to eat them. Of course, there is another possibility that because he or Chu Chen is rich, the other party deliberately set up a trap to deceive them. However, since the other party has already investigated them, although this possibility exists, it should be unlikely based on the situation in front of us. . Thinking of this, Lao Wu smiled and introduced the two parties. At this time, Chu Chen knew that this middle-aged man's surname was Zhou, and his nickname was Big Ya. As for why he got this nickname, it came from the two huge teeth he showed when he spoke. You can guess it by looking at the front teeth. As for the old man, he is the owner of this antique shop, his surname is Zhong Mingdingsheng. After everyone chatted for a while, Zhou Daya said hello to everyone, and then walked into the back room. When Zhou Daya walked into the back room, Boss Zhong asked everyone to sit down and made a cup of tea for everyone. During this period, Chu Chen also looked around. The antique shop doesn¡¯t look very big. It mainly contains furniture, some jade articles and miscellaneous items such as stationery. However, even so, Chu Chen saw at a glance that most of the things were fake, and even the genuine ones were in extremely poor condition and not worth much at all. If you are an ordinary person, you will definitely think that there will not be any good stuff here when you enter such an antique store. However, Chu Chen, who is well-informed, thought about it for a moment and realized that this store is likely to have some problems with the source of goods. Or those antiques and cultural relics that were just unearthed. Boss Zhong saw Chu Chen's thoughtful look and said with a smile: "Boss Chu, you must have guessed what kind of business the shop is doing. However, the origins of the things that Daya brought over are all very clear. "You can rest assured." Chu Chen smiled. Boss Zhong can't prove whether something is innocent or not. Besides, he is not a moral gentleman and will not say that he doesn't want any unearthed artifacts. , if this is the case, then he will not be able to collect quite a few antiques on the market. And from another perspective, these unearthed antiques are going to be bought anyway. If Chu Chen can buy them and put them in his museum, isn't it a kind of protection for the antiques? No matter what, it is better than those who are dispersed abroad. ¡°I¡¯ve kept everyone waiting.¡± At this time, Zhou Daya carefully held a huge box and walked out of the back room. Lao Wu chuckled and said: "As long as what you bring are good things, we will be happy no matter how long we wait." Zhou Daya smiled, put the box on the table, opened the lid and took out the contents. , but it is a peacock blue glaze blue and white plum vase. Peacock blue glaze blue and white is a combination of low-temperature peacock blue and underglaze blue and white. The surface of the drawn cobalt material is covered with low-temperature peacock blue glaze and fired. Before the Yuan Dynasty, producers did not master the firing technology well, and their products were generally "peacock blue and black flowers." It was not until the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty that a historic breakthrough was made under the official kiln system, and true "blue and white flowers" were produced. Since this type of artifact involves the use of cobalt paint, the production process is more complicated than that of monochromatic glaze, and the difficulty and artistic attainments are not comparable to the former. Like the plum vase in front of you, it has a long belly, a small mouth, and the whole body is decorated with blue and white patterns.It is decorated with a layer of peacock blue glaze. The glaze color is bright and the whole body is open. The craftsmanship is exquisite and complex. The mouth rim is thick, the neck is narrow and short, and the shoulder and abdominal curves are overly rounded and natural. The abdomen is decorated with a picture of a boy folding flowers. The figures are drawn with freehand brushwork, which is vivid and expressive, and the lines of the clothing patterns are lively and smooth. It is decorated with twining flowers on the sides, with bold and powerful lines, spreading branches and leaves, vivid and natural, and without artificiality. ? Looking at its production craftsmanship, patterns and other characteristics, Chu Chen can conclude that this is a masterpiece from the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty.
