    "Well, you should take the time to find out about this, Le Wen." Mr. Liu nodded. All his energy was now focused on Cai Jianxuan's gang. He didn't care about the bald man, so he immediately changed the topic.  , asked: "Achen, have you brought the pair of case jars you mentioned earlier?" "Yes." Chu Chen nodded, and then took out the pair of case jars from the box.  Mr. Liu quickly took the thing into his hands and observed it carefully. After looking at it for less than twenty minutes, he sighed and said with emotion: "Cai Jianxuan and his group are really powerful!" Chu Chen nodded and said: "Yes, these people are actually amazing.  I don¡¯t know how they were able to develop such a counterfeiting method in such a short period of time. " "You are wrong. Such technology cannot be developed in a short time, otherwise we would be able to develop it.  The antique world has been in chaos for a long time. " Mr. Liu said: "According to the confessions of Cai Jianxuan's subordinates who were caught before, they were already studying the counterfeiting method of patina as early as last October. This should be the result of their research now.  The results. Besides, when did Jia Yuqiang buy this pair of jars? If they can produce results in such a short time, it will not only be great, but also magical." Chu Chen listened to Liu.  After the old man said this, he couldn't help scratching his head and seemed a little embarrassed. He was a little smart in this matter but was mistaken for it. He just thought that this was the method Cai Jianxuan studied to deal with himself and others, forgetting that there was no time at all.  Too late to implement.  Mr. Liu chuckled, and then his expression became serious, with a hint of urgency in his tone: "I used to think that since the improved formula of the slurry liquid had not been passed on to Cai Jianxuan, I could sit back and relax for the time being, but I didn't expect that they had thought of it long ago.  We need to prepare for a rainy day, this is too late for us!" After hearing this, Liu Qinshu said quickly: "Dad, don't rush about this matter. We will check it step by step, otherwise we will easily get into trouble.  " Mr. Liu smiled: "I can't help it. As I get older, I always feel that time is getting less and less. I can't wait." "Bah!" Liu Qinshu said angrily: "Dad, what are you talking about?"  Chu Chen also said: "Master, you have been through heavy storms in recent years, but you are still afraid that you will not be able to deal with Cai Jianxuan!" "Okay, okay! Life, old age, illness and death are natural concerns, and I am not in a hurry. Why are you anxious?" Mr. Liu waved.  Waving his hands, he continued: "It's a pity that you didn't buy that small cup, Achen. Otherwise, we could have tested the related substances, and maybe we could find some useful clues." Chu Chen said with some shame: "Master,  I'm really sorry, I really didn't expect this at the time. " "It doesn't matter." Mr. Liu waved his hand: "Actually, this possibility is unlikely. I also want to find as many clues as possible, and at worst, I will find someone to buy it later.  Just come down. By the way, you'll know what's in the other two boxes."  Chu Chen opened the box and placed it in front of Mr. Liu.  "Hey." The first thing Mr. Liu saw was the seal.  He took the seal in his hand and let out a light sigh.  Then he looked carefully and said with a smile: "I didn't expect this to be a plain seal carved by Fang Xurong, and the Tianhuang used is the best Baitian, which is really rare!" "Baitian? Is it real or fake?"  Upon hearing this, Liu Qinshu immediately approached with curiosity.  The Shoushan Tianhuang Stone is now a well-known and well-known "treasure". As the saying goes, "Gold is easy to get, but Tianhuang is hard to find."  However, its sister variety, Tianbai (or Baitian), which is a white-colored stone produced in Tiankeng, Shoushan, is not well known yet.  The main reason is that the output of Baitian is indeed too small. It is said that it only accounts for one percent of Tianhuang. Ordinary people can rarely see its "respect".  But what exactly is Bai Tian?  What does it really look like?  However, even some works dedicated to the collection of seal stones have different opinions when it comes to Baitian.  As for the definition of Baitian, some books describe it as "white as gelatin", "like jade but not jade", and there must be a saying "red veins like blood".  However, some experts have written books and believe that saying so is "actually misleading". Bai Tian is "not pure white, but has some light yellow or greenish color" Mr. Liu heard this and said with a smile: "You  As you said, if it wasn¡¯t Bai Tian, ??would A-chen be able to buy it? Besides, you should still remember my previous Baitian seal, wouldn¡¯t you know by comparing it?¡± Chu Chen asked curiously:  "Master, where is your old Baitian seal?" Mr. Liu replied with a smile: "I gave it away. A friend of mine always wanted a Baitian seal, but couldn't find it, so I gave it to myself.?The seal was given to him.  "Chu Chen suddenly understood, and then he understood why the master had so many collections, and why he didn't even have a white field. It turned out to be like this." Mr. Liu then asked: "Achen, you probably haven't seen a white field before, what's wrong with you?"  Do you think it's authentic?  " "Actually, I mainly rely on guesswork.  I remember it was said in a book that the top-grade white hibiscus (Bai Shoushan) and the high-quality Shuikeng Baijiang can barely compare with Baitian.  ¡± Chu Chen explained with a smile: ¡°But White Hibiscus is only close to ¡®Baitian¡¯ in color and moistness, but it lacks the complete ¡®Six Virtues¡¯ of top-grade Baitian such as delicacy and moistness.  The puddle frozen stone is too spiritual and lacks the moistness and smoothness of Bai Tian.  It just so happens that I have seen Jia Yuqiang's Bai Tian imitation made with white hibiscus before. When comparing the two, it is natural to see the advantages and disadvantages.  I feel that this seal is probably the Bai Tian that everyone is talking about.  " "Moreover, since Baitian is also a variety of Tianhuang, in addition to color and texture, the most important thing to emphasize is that like Tianhuang, it must have the typical characteristics of Tiankeng stone - 'skin', 'lattice' and 'grain'  .  " "If you compare top-grade white hibiscus and high-quality puddle jelly with ordinary white fields, maybe the texture and color of this kind of white fields will be slightly inferior to them.  However, no matter how good the texture of hibiscus stone, puddle stone, etc. is, they will never have the 'skin', 'lattice', and 'grain' that are unique to Tiankeng stone, because they do not have the living conditions to produce these characteristics.  " "I see that this seal has these characteristics, and it is much better than Jia Yuqiang's Baitian fake seal, so I think it is probably a genuine one.  Besides, even if it wasn't Bai Tian, ??just the margins carved by Xu Rong would still be worth the price I paid for it.  The funny thing is.  Strange old man Ding didn't know Xu Rong, so he thought it was some unknown craftsman who carved it.  " Xu Rong was a master of seal engraving in the Qing Dynasty, with the courtesy name Shifu and the nickname Mo Gong. In his early years, he studied under Shao Qian and obtained six secret edicts. He worked on seal engraving and studied it carefully. He deliberately innovated. Seal engraving seals mostly used the sealing method of the Han Dynasty, and he had profound skills.  . His knife skills are sophisticated and his calligraphy and painting are neat. The seal surface has a sense of tranquility, and the layout is loose and charming. He is good at carving bamboo wood seals and can draw poems. He is as famous as Lin Gao and Wu Xiansheng.  Stranger Ding doesn't even know such a famous person. It's no wonder that this treasure is covered with dust. Of course, many people in the society, including some dealers in the antiquities market, are not good at identifying seals.  It is not uncommon. It is not uncommon for seal cutting works of some modern celebrities to be sold at low prices. Not to mention Mr. Liu who is good at picking up leaks, even Liu Qinshu spent dozens of them from a stall in the antique market.  Yuan bought a seal carving work by the Qing Dynasty seal engraver Deng Shiru worth hundreds of thousands. Therefore, Mr. Liu and Liu Qinshu were not surprised by this. Mr. Liu listened to Chu Chen¡¯s explanation and affirmed with a smile: ¡°Not bad, not bad.  Very well said.  " Next, Liu Qinshu admired the printing embryo and exclaimed: "It is really a rare and fine Baitian stone!  "Since it is Baitian, the whiter the color, the better. Gao Zhao, a famous stone appreciation expert in the Qing Dynasty, once described Baitian as "the snow in Liangyuan and the clouds in Yandang" in "Guanshilu". "Chu Chen's  The base of the square printing base is mainly white, with only a slight golden accent. Although it is not as smooth as the inner core of the top-quality Baitian, which is like mutton-fat white jade, it still looks unique.  Then again, if it was really a top-quality white field, Old Monster Ding wouldn't be so cheap to Chu Chen. And besides the fact that Chu Chen's printing embryo is not that extreme in terms of material, it can be said to be perfect.  Generally speaking, in terms of shape, all the stones produced in Baitian and Tiankeng have a common feature: they are all in the shape of random pebbles, and Baitian was very precious in ancient times, so except for some small ancient seals.  , rarely cut into squares. At the same time, if it is a finished seal or ornament, most of it will have exquisite thin relief. This is due to Bai Tian's characteristic of "applying materials according to the material and covering up defects skillfully".  , and only good Baitian texture can demonstrate skills and reflect the effect in carving. And Chu Chen¡¯s seal is also a shape seal, shaped like a majestic mountain peak, and a simple seal can explain it.  Except for the three-character "Shi Fu Rong" on the surface, no other parts have been artificially processed. It is completely carved by nature. This is the preciousness of this seal. In fact, if you look closely, you will see that it is.  The Fang Seal is not without flaws, but is cleverly covered up by the words "Shi Fu Rong", and it is this ingenuity that increases the value of the Fang Seal. "Nature is really wonderful!  Mr. Liu was very emotional when he saw this. Then, while playing with the printing blank, he said: "IHe must have been reluctant to engrave words on such a seal, otherwise it would be difficult for him to leave such a seal.  You should preserve such a precious thing well.  Seeing that the master liked this printing embryo very much, Chu Chen said: "Master, I gave this printing embryo to you. How to save it is up to you."  " Mr. Liu laughed when he heard this and said happily: "Achen, I appreciate your kindness. I am so old, can I still leave my own name on it?  Isn¡¯t that a waste of baby?  You should keep this printing blank for your own use," "But" Chu Chen wanted to persuade him again, but Mr. Liu waved his hand, interrupted him, and said with a smile: "Okay, that's it.  It¡¯s decided, but you have to let me admire it for a few days before giving it to you.  Seeing the resoluteness of the master's words, Chu Chen nodded in agreement. Mr. Liu continued: "By the way, this Sunday when your courtyard is moving, I also have a gift for you. It can be regarded as a gift to you and Xiaoke's wedding in advance.  Give it a gift.  Xiao Shu, go to my room and get it.  " Chu Chen scratched his head and said with a smile: "This is so embarrassing.  " Mr. Liu glared at him: "I am your master, why am I embarrassed to give you a wedding gift?  If you want to thank me, then you should give birth to a child with Wu Ke as soon as possible.  Hey, by the way, you and Wu Ke have been together for a long time, right? Why didn't she react at all?  Chu Chen blushed and said weakly: "I think it's not good for her to get married with a full belly, so I haven't taken any measures recently. It will probably take some time to deal with the child."  " Mr. Liu laughed and said, "Then I will wait for my disciple.  " Chu Chen really couldn't resist this kind of thing. Fortunately, Liu Qinshu came in holding two festive-looking brocade boxes, which made him breathe a sigh of relief. "Okay, you can open it and see the happiness yourself.  dislike.  " Chu Chen's embarrassed look made Mr. Liu very amused, but he did not continue the joke and asked Liu Qinshu to put the box in front of Chu Chen. Chu Chen opened the first box and took a look. There was a bronze mirror inside.  The bronze mirror is in the shape of a rhombus with a round button. On each side of the button are a pair of flying geese holding concentric ribbons, which is symmetrical and echoing, and full of interest. On the button is a lotus in full bloom, with bees and butterflies flying on both sides, and on the lower button is a lotus in full bloom.  Lotus seeds are exposed. Patterns on the edge of the mirror are alternately arranged with birds holding branches. There has been a tradition of using geese in weddings since ancient times. For example, in the wedding etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, the man sent a betrothal gift to the woman¡¯s house to propose marriage.  The matchmaker comes forward. The goose is a migratory bird, waiting for the sun and moving in an orderly manner. It is a metaphor that women should put men at the center of all their actions and hope to serve the king with integrity and stay with their spouses for life.  Even if it is a lonely goose, it no longer chooses a mate. The wild goose's habit of never leaving and staying together for life is appreciated by people. Therefore, in the six rituals, except for the betrothal gift, the other five things are because of the wild goose.  Wild geese are not easy to come by, so prominent families will use bronze mirrors with swan geese patterns. This is a high-end wedding gift. Judging from the various characteristics of this bronze mirror, Chu Chen should be a bronze with swan geese patterns from the Tang Dynasty.  Mirror. There is a sentence in the ancient poem "Chasing the Past", "The treasured mirror is still there when you get married, and the magpie shadows and water chestnuts are full of brilliance." It is very suitable to be used on this mirror. It vividly describes the shape and decoration of this mirror, and at the same time it also  It proves that the Yanjie Tongxin Mirror was used for weddings in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. This type of mirror was popular during the most glorious period of the Tang Dynasty for more than a hundred years. It was a microcosm of the social economy, ideological concepts and arts and crafts at that time.  The mirror is full of silver light, magnificent and full of vitality, reflecting the atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. In addition, the decoration implies wealth, peace, happiness and eternity, so it is perfect as a wedding gift.  The old man gave Chu Chen and Wu Ke good wishes, so Chu Chen quickly expressed his gratitude to Mr. Liu (To be continued. (.)) ps: I am going to adjust my work and rest time today, and there is another chapter to be completed during the day.  I hope everyone can forgive me
