After hearing what Chu Chen said, Qiang Youwan immediately smiled on his face, but when he thought about the price, he hesitated. After pondering for a while, he said hesitantly: "Teacher Chu, let's count one hundred thousand." "Okay, do you think it's okay?" "The price is quite cheap, but Chu Chen is always a little wary of this kind of business that comes to his door, so he didn't agree immediately. Seeing this, Qiang Youwan thought that Chu Chen thought the price was too expensive, and quickly said: "Teacher Chu, if you think this price is not appropriate, then let's go for 8070,000. What do you think?" Qiang Youwan should be an honest person, so Chu Chen stopped lowering the price and nodded: "Okay, so be it. However, Mr. Qiang, let me ask a presumptuous question, can you tell me about the price of this item?" "Where's the origin?" Perhaps because he was worried that Qiang Youwan might be misunderstood, he added, "I don't mean to ask this. The main reason is that antiques like yours are at the level of cultural relics, so there are some taboos about their origins. , I hope you can understand." "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I collected this thing as scrap from a family." Qiang Youwan waved his hands and said honestly: "Actually, I'm not afraid of your laughter. I just want to collect it. I usually like to watch some antique programs. In the past, I felt that with my financial strength, I couldn¡¯t afford to buy anything good. I usually only received some jade-like scraps, so I kept them myself.¡± ¡°Then. At the time, I just thought it was fun, and the scraps I collected didn't look very good, so they probably weren't worth much, so I didn't take them seriously. However, I met a person some time ago who was actually willing to spend nearly a thousand yuan on them. I bought a piece of jade that I usually hung in the car, and then I realized that my collection might not be useless. "So, after a period of time, I bought a few books and compared them. After comparing the introduction, I didn¡¯t expect to find a few good things in it. At that time, I just wanted to collect them, and I didn¡¯t care about the authenticity. During this time, my family was in need of money, so I came here to try my luck ¡± Next, Qiang Youwan talked about his experience of coming here to sell things today. Anyway, Chu Chen has decided to buy it, and it is also the last thing in his hand, so there is nothing he can't say. However, after hearing these words, Chu Chen felt a sense of d¨¦j¨¤ vu. So he quickly took a closer look at Qiang Youwan's appearance, and then realized that Qiang Youwan was probably the person Yang Qing mentioned, just because Qiang Youwan dressed up specially today, and compared with the change of the person Yang Qingyue said Big, this made him not pay attention for a moment. Seeing Chu Chen constantly looking at himself, Qiang Youwan subconsciously touched his face and asked strangely: "Teacher Chu, do you have any questions?" "Nothing." Chu Chen chuckled and asked : "Mr. Qiang, was that a piece of steel that you hung on the car back then?" Considering that Qiang Youwan is not very proficient in antiques. He described Gangmao's appearance again. Qiang Youwan said with some surprise: "That's it. Is the person who bought it a friend of yours? There won't be any problem with that thing, right?" Upon hearing this, Chu Chen felt ecstatic in his heart, and then he quickly waved his hand and said: " Of course there¡¯s no problem, otherwise I wouldn¡¯t have bought this piece.¡± ¡°Did you buy it?¡± After hearing what Chu Chen said, Qiang Youwan was surprised with a hint of regret, since Chu Chen would buy it. something. The value will definitely not be low. It seems that I sold it cheaply. But his mentality is pretty good. After a while, I stopped worrying about it, since the price I received was much lower than the price I sold it for. Then why should I be so greedy? Chu Chen said with a smile: "Actually, that piece was not expensive when I just got it. It was almost the same as the price you sold it for. I bought it because there were two more words on it and I was curious and wanted to study it. So, I also I want to ask you, did you also receive this thing?" "That's for sure." Qiang Youwan smiled, pondered for a while, and said, "I bought that thing a long time ago, I remember it. An old man in his eighties passed away, and he sold me some of his books and stuff." Chu Chen quickly asked, "Are those things still there?" Qiang Youwan shook his head: "Most of them. Everything is gone. There are only a few books because they look like they were from before. I have left them unsold. If you want them, I will give them to you tomorrow. " "How can this be done? Just do whatever you want. How about it." Chu Chen immediately said: "How about this, if Mr. Qiang is not busy, we can go to your place together after dinner." For Chu Chen, the clue to Wang Mang's treasure is now. The thing I care about most, if it weren¡¯t for now,When it was time for dinner, he wanted to go to Qiang Youwan to check it out immediately. Qiang Youwanao scratched his head: "That's true, but my environment there is a bit bad" Before he could finish speaking, Chu Chen interrupted: "Mr. Qiang, it doesn't matter. To be honest, I The living environment when I was young was not good, so there is nothing I am not used to. " "Okay." Since Chu Chen said so, Qiang Youwan nodded and agreed. Next, Chu Chen asked: "Mr. Qiang, do you want cash or transfer?" Qiang Youwan became excited when he heard this, rubbed his hands excitedly and said: "I haven't seen it all at once since I grew up. With so much money, let¡¯s just use cash.¡± ¡°Okay.¡± Chu Chen smiled and nodded, then walked to the sales desk with Qiang Youwan to complete the transaction. Seeing so much money at once, Qiang Youwan's eyes shone and his hands trembled a little. But when he came to his senses, he felt that his decision was too stupid. This was 70,000 yuan, and he just carried it with him. , if something goes wrong, it will just cost him his life. Although he had just agreed to Chu Chen, he still felt a little uneasy, so he said with some embarrassment: "Teacher Chu, can we deposit the money in the bank now?" Chu Chen looked at the time and said: "It's too late now. Do you have a bank or passbook? I'll have someone transfer the money to your card." "I do have a passbook, but it's still at home, but there's no phone installed where I live now." Qiang Youwan seemed a little embarrassed. "How about this? I'll leave the money with you first. When we go to your place, I'll have someone transfer the money to your bankbook, and then you can return the money to me. Anyway, don't worry, there will definitely be no problem with the money as long as I'm here. " "Thank you! Thank you!" Qiang Youwan expressed his gratitude. At this time, Uncle Wu and the others came down from upstairs. When they saw Chu Chen, Zhao Xueyi asked with a smile: "Xiao Chen, are you done with the things at the museum?" Chu Chen replied with a smile: "How is that possible? ? At least I have to be busy until the museum opens. But there is something over there that I haven¡¯t prepared yet. Come and see everyone. By the way, Uncle Zhao, I heard that you brought a treasure? " Zhao Xueyi smiled and pointed at it. He held a box and said, "Do you want to see a set of inscriptions written by Jin Nong?" "Of course I want to see it, but let's fill our stomachs first." Chu Chen replied with a smile. "Okay, let's go to the Five Zang Temple first" Since he hadn't been to the store for a long time, Chu Chen simply invited everyone to enjoy a delicious meal at Bazhen Jade Food, which made Zhao Xueyi and others enjoy the meal. Qiang Youwan felt that the food was so delicious that his tongue almost swallowed it. After lunch, Chu Chen asked the waiter to clear the table, and Zhao Xueyi took out the things. These are six paper copies of stele calligraphy, including the Northern Wei Dynasty Yuanjing statue rubbings, Huaisu Li Yong cursive calligraphy rubbings, Qunyutang rice calligraphy rubbings, Mi Fu poetry calligraphy rubbings, Zhao Songxue calligraphy and ink carving rubbings, and the old collection of Yang Jin (Bai Su) Huang Tingjian's calligraphy. These six inscriptions are all very clear and well-preserved, and they all have Jin Nong's inscription and seal on them, which is very rare. After reading all six inscriptions, Chu Chen asked: "Uncle Zhao, where did you get these inscriptions?" Zhao Xueyi felt something was wrong when he heard Chu Chen ask: "I went there a few days ago. Jiangcheng, I bought it at the antique city over there. What's the problem?" Chu Chen replied: "I think these should be wall clay scripts. The method is to make wall clay scripts. The original rubbings are placed on the wall, then carved and then rubbed on rice paper. The inscriptions produced in this way are not rubbed from the original tablet, but from the wall. "Isn't this possible?!" Zhao Xueyi, Uncle Wu and others were quite surprised when they heard this. "It is indeed a wall clay copy, which can be seen from several aspects." Chu Chen explained: "The real old stele has been weathered and corroded after experiencing wind and rain for a long time, and there will be patches on the stele. Peeling stone flowers, these stone flowers are uneven and irregularly distributed. In order to create the uneven effect of stone weathering after most wall plasters are completed, lime is usually sprinkled on the wall to fake weathering spots. The weathering spots on these inscriptions appear to be somewhat even. This is probably because the forger realized this and did it deliberately. The effect is also outstanding, but it still seems more deliberate and unnatural. " "In addition, If the stone flowers are really concave inward, white marks will appear on the inscriptions, which are commonly known as Yin inscriptions, while the scattered weathered spots will protrude outward, which will be reflected as black spots on the inscriptions, which are Yang inscriptions.This method can effectively distinguish original extensions and imitation extensions. In addition, after years of weathering, old monuments sometimes develop cracks. Such cracks are very natural on the original rubbings, while the cracks on the imitations have obvious traces of modification" Chu Chen told everyone the characteristics of wall rubbings. , Zhao Xueyi shook his head repeatedly, and he smiled bitterly and said: "It's so careless, it's really careless, I didn't expect someone to fake the inscription on the stele! ¡± Speaking of which, since the collection craze began in the mid-1990s, compared to calligraphy, painting, and porcelain, there are very few fakes on inscriptions. The main reason is that inscriptions on inscriptions are relatively unpopular and boring, and few people collect them. However, genuine inscriptions are relatively unpopular and boring. Because of this, and the fact that Zhao Xueyi didn¡¯t do much research on the inscriptions, it just happened naturally (to be continued)
