After hearing what Mr. Hua said, Mr. Yan shook his head and said, "I think it's better to forget it. Have you forgotten that in July last year, your cousin was able to throw feces into the room without giving him any money? With such a scoundrel character, what's your reason for giving him money? To be honest, I don't think he'll be able to thank you, but he might even scold you!" After hearing this, Chu Chen felt very speechless. If he had such a son, he would have called the police and kicked him out of the house long ago, severing the relationship between father and son. However, Hua Lao's cousin is still used to it. This has completely turned love into harm, and there will be hardships in the future. Hua Lao sighed after hearing this. Not to mention, with his nephew's character, the possibility that Lao Yan mentioned is really very high, but he is a junior after all. If he really reaches the end of his rope, he still can't do it. Regardless. But he had to guard against his nephew's temper. Because of this, he asked his nephew to sign an agreement every time he made a transaction, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. "Forget it, let's talk about it later. Maybe by that day, I will no longer be here." Mr. Hua laughed at himself, and then said to Chu Chen with some embarrassment: "Director Chu, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect him I would come today. If I had known this, I would have taken the things to your place for appraisal." Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand, "Hua Lao, it really doesn't matter." Hua Lao smiled bitterly and said, "You don't know this guy." How thick-skinned he is, I guess after a while when he runs out of money, he may come to your museum to find you." Chu Chen chuckled and said, "He can come as soon as he comes, it will just add more to my museum. Some collections. "To be honest, Chu Chen is least afraid of scoundrels. If Hua Lao's nephew can be more honest, he will not care about it. Otherwise, don't blame him for being rude. Seeing that Chu Chen didn¡¯t care. Mr. Hua sighed secretly, hoping that his nephew would not do anything outrageous by then. Next, Mr. Hua went to take out the things he bought from Mr. Ding. Except for one thing packed in a box, the other two are ancient cold weapons. They are a knife and a ceremonial sword respectively. Seeing this, Chu Chen asked with a smile: "Hua Lao, it seems that you prefer collecting cold weapons." Hua Lao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I still prefer porcelain. As for cold weapons, I mainly like them. I usually like to practice martial arts, and the collection of cold weapons is not taken seriously by everyone now, and the price is not expensive, so I thought about buying some and waiting for the value to increase." Chu Chen smiled and nodded. Hua Lao's idea should be said to be correct. The number of ancient iron official knives on the collection market is very limited. A considerable number of these preserved official knives are in very unsatisfactory state of preservation, and the so-called "original, original set, and original polish" pursued in collections has basically become a myth. Even if you only collect knives and remnants of equipment, it is difficult for collectors to make big gains in the collection market. But on the other hand, in the entire collection circle, the collection of ancient cold weapons has not received enough attention, and even the shapes of many famous knives are still diverse. For example, there is no authoritative statement about what the Xiuchundao looks like just now. Because there are not many cold weapons on the market, and they are not taken seriously. Prices also range from high to low, so the probability of buying an excellent weapon at a relatively low price is still very high, but it is still a good idea to collect such items. Also be aware of some legal restrictions on knives. Chu Chen first picked up an iron knife on the table. This knife has a straight blade, a sharp blade, and the angle between the blade tips is usually around 45 degrees. Different from most hind wing knife types. This type of knife has a unique shape. There is a swallow-like protrusion about ten centimeters from the base of the knife. With this as the boundary, the back of the knife becomes an inverse blade shape and runs through the blade. A thin blood groove parallel to the back of the knife also opens from there. The tip of the knife. Knives of this style actually have a unified name, called "Gongbu waist knife". And, except for the difference in weight. The shapes and mounting styles of this type of knives have a unified pattern, and they are all well-made. To know. In the ancient times when swords were produced in hand-made workshops, it was not easy to mass-produce swords with a fixed pattern. It would be difficult to gather multiple departments within a relatively long period of time to produce the same style and tailor-made swords for each user. Only the unified dispatch of the feudal dynasty can achieve this. The army that uses and is equipped with such sophisticated weapons is by no means an ordinary army, but an elite army or the royal guard. Because it is difficult to find the corresponding name for this type of knife shape in many ancient documents, the source and name are still unknown. And because most of these knives have the words "Made by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce" on the raised part of the blade, the name "Gongbu Waist Knife" came into being. Generally speaking, the Gongbu waist knife is considered to be the standard weapon equipped by the royal guards from Wanli to Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty. It has been passed down to this day, and it is relatively rare to find it intact. However, Hua Lao¡¯s Gongbu waist knife is very well made. Except for some embroidery marks on the blade, the handle, scabbard, etc. are all well preserved, and even most of the gilding on the handle is preserved. , so it is still relatively rare. Putting the knife back, Chu Chen took the sword in his hand again. He saw that the sword had two blood grooves on both sides, the back was wide and the front was pointed. The handle was wrapped with black rope, and the wooden scabbard was dyed green. The rim of the scabbard, septum, scabbard, hilt, etc. are each inlaid with multiple pieces of gilt and chiseled copper. In addition, the blade of this sword has an engraving from the Qianlong period. Seeing that Chu Chen had seen these two cold weapons, Mr. Hua quickly asked: "Director Chu, how do you like these two weapons?" Chu Chen smiled and said: "They are all genuine." Hearing what Chu Chen said, Mr. Hua He breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly took out the contents of the box, which were an agate snuff bottle and a pair of colorful bowls. Among them, the snuff bottle is made of excellent materials. It is made of a whole piece of skinned rock sugar agate, which is transparent and pleasant. One side is carved with a Taoist scholar and a boy exploring plum blossoms in the mountains, and the other side is cleverly carved with colors to show a monkey behind a tree looking back at the Ganoderma lucidum on the mountain. The faces of characters and animals are beautifully drawn and layered. Chu Chen was certain that this was the genuine article. And when Chu Chen saw the other pair of colorful bowls, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, and then he took the things in his hands and observed them carefully. This pair of colorful bowls has the inscription "Made in the Wanli Year of the Ming Dynasty" in regular script with double circles and double lines on the bottom. The outer wall is painted with a picture of Zhang Tianshi slashing the five poisons. This kind of decorative theme should be the Dragon Boat Festival special fired by the imperial kiln factory for the palace during the Wanli period. Items used in section. It means "removing poison and warding off evil spirits". The outer walls of this pair of colorful bowls are set against the background of pines and strange rocks. In the center of the picture, Master Zhang wears a golden crown and holds a sword. Step on the poisonous scorpion and kill the poisonous snake with your sword. A little boy stands on the ground holding a Ganoderma lucidum, a toad stands on a strange rock, and a centipede sprouts wings and flies in the air. In addition, it is worth mentioning that although the colorful bowls are displayed in pairs, the center of the bowl is decorated with fire dragon and blue dragon patterns. Although the two dragons have similar shapes, they both have dragon bodies climbing up. The limbs are stretched out, all five claws are open, and the dragon's head is looking forward. But their expressions are different. The fire dragon's eyes are angry, the beard is standing and the teeth are bared, showing a rugged and domineering look; the blue dragon is white eyebrows and kind eyes, with a gentle face and beard, looking down on all living beings. This pair of colorful porcelain bowls. It is very rare to appear in pairs, and the craftsmanship is exquisite and the colors are gorgeous. It should be a pair of exquisite and beautiful treasures. However, this pair of treasures made Chu Chen frown, which made Mr. Hua feel that his heart was about to jump out when he saw it. He hurriedly asked: "Director Chu, is there anything wrong with this pair of colorful bowls?" Chu Chen shook his head: "Both of these things are genuine, butplease wait a moment" After saying that, he stood up, walked to the side and made a phone call, which made both Hua and Yan a little confused. Looking at each other. I can't figure out what happened, since they are all genuine. Then why did Chu Chen behave like this? "Achen, what's the matter?" "Master. That's what happened. Last month I saw a magazine introducing multicolored porcelain in your place. It featured a pair of Wanli multicolored Zhang Tianshi's swords from the XX Museum. "Five Poison Bowls?" "Wellthat's true. What's wrong?" "I also saw a pair of identical bowls." "Oh!" Mr. Liu's tone became serious: "What do you mean?" Yes, the one you see now is probably the one in the museum? " "Yes." "Do you have any evidence? It's not necessarily the same thing, right? What if it's a fake" Speaking of this, Mr. Liu paused because it was hard for him to believe that Chu Chen would actually fail in appraising Wanli colorful porcelain. "Tell me what happened." Mr. Liu continued. "That's what happened" Chu Chen briefly recounted everything except Mr. Hua's nephew to Mr. Liu: "The key question now is that not only are the pair of bowls exactly the same as the pair in the magazine, but one of them is also the same as the one in the magazine. There is actually a notch at the bottom of one bowl, and the position and shape are exactly the same as those in the magazine. "What!" Mr. Liu was shocked when he heard this. If it is just the same as the colorful bowl in the magazine, then there are other things. Other reasons are easy to say. For example, Cai Jianxuan's level of imitation has improved. Chu Chen didn't notice it for a moment, but if the bottom of the bowl has the same notch, then there must be something wrong. It can¡¯t be said that Cai Jianxuan can even imitate the same punch line, right? Then his imitation technology is already comparable to a magical skill, and this is obviously impossible to happen. "Okay, then I'll go check it out and contact you if there's any new news." Mr. Liu said seriously. "Okay" Chu Chen hung up the phone and left againgo back. Hua Lao said nervously: "Director Chu, what is going on?" Chu Chen said with some regret: "Hua Lao, I am very sorry, your pair of colorful bowls are probably from the collection of the XX Museum." " What?!" When they learned that this was the case, Mr. Hua and Mr. Yan were all stunned. After a while, Hua Lao came back to his senses and said incredulously: "Director Chu, you mean that my pair of colorful bowls are probably dirt?" Chu Chen nodded: "There is indeed this. Maybe." "How could it be possible?" Mr. Hua seemed a little unable to accept this result. After a while, he frowned and asked, "Director Chu, can you tell me how it happened? Do you think they are the collection of that museum? Do they just look similar?" Chu Chen gave an apologetic look and then explained the reason. "This" Mr. Hua opened his mouth, not knowing what words to use to express his feelings. At this time, Mr. Yan asked a key question: "Director Chu, if it is really stolen, do these bowls have to be returned?" "Well, I should return them" Chu Chen was a little confused. He replied hesitantly that since the things were stolen, he wouldn't say anything until he found them. Whatever he found out, he had to return it. Because of this, he felt very sorry for Mr. Hua. At this time. Mrs. Hua said: "No, I remember that there should be a word in the law called acquisition in good faith, right?" "What is acquisition in good faith?" Others did not understand this law. This is the first time I have heard of the word "acquired in good faith". Mrs. Hua shook her head: "I heard it when I was chatting with my friends. I don't know the details." "Then let me call and ask." Chu Chen took out his mobile phone again and called his friend. . Nearly ten minutes later, Chu Chen put away the phone and explained the meaning of goodwill to everyone. Acquisition in good faith, also known as immediate acquisition or immediate prescription, refers to the transfer of real estate ownership to a third party by the possessor of the chattel or the creation of other property rights for the third party. A system in which a bona fide transferee can still acquire ownership or other property rights of a movable even if the possessor of the movable has no right to distribute the movable. Chu Chen continued: "However, there is a legal explanation. If an owner loses possession of his property due to theft, loss, etc., no matter how many times the property has changed hands, everyone has the right to request the return of the property from the last owner." "This" Mr. Hua originally thought that his situation should be obtained in good faith, and he was quite happy. However, after listening to Chu Chen's explanation later, he really felt like crying. He had spent real money to get something. Bought. Although the price is a bit cheap, it will cost a lot if you just hand it over. What about his loss? Seeing that both Mr. and Mrs. Hua found it difficult to accept, Chu Chen quickly said: "Mr. Hua, you don't have to worry. My friend said that if the final possessor is in good faith, he will also pay a certain amount. Everyone is trying to get the property back. When a property is acquired, the possessor should be reimbursed for the loss. " "Because the possessor paid a certain price when keeping the property, and the final possessor often takes possession of the property in good faith and not in bad faith. Protection will damage its legitimate interests and will inevitably cause adverse consequences. Therefore, you can still get back the money you paid. "What Chu Chen didn't say is that if Hua Lao takes care of it himself. It's annoying. But since he discovered this, he still had to help. Otherwise, he would feel a little guilty. "That's good, that's good!" Mr. Hua and his wife both breathed a sigh of relief. For them, as long as the principal is not lost, forget about interest Mr. Liu's feedback It came quickly. He told Chu Chen on the phone that he had already confirmed it over the phone. The pair of bowls owned by Mr. Hua should be the original collection of the museum. Not only that, the knives, swords and snuff bottles that the museum suspected were also in their warehouse. "Isn't it? The work of the xx Museum is so sloppy? You don't even know when things have been replaced?" Mr. Yan asked in surprise. Chu Chen said: "I don't know much about the situation of the swords, but the pair of colorful bowls were replaced. There is another pair on display in the museum, and everything looks basically the same. Only the mouth is wrong, otherwise People over there will think we are joking!¡± Hearing that this was the case, Mr. Yan smacked his lips and said, ¡°This must be the good deeds of that person named Cai. This kind of person is simply daring to do this. Everything can actually be done." Hua Lao shook his head: "I think??This is not called daring but careful. Under normal circumstances, who would know that a pair of identical collections on display could be fakes? If it weren't for Director Chu, they wouldn't necessarily have discovered it after they fled, right? " Chu Chen and Mr. Yan both agreed with this. Just like Mr. Hua said, if it hadn't been a coincidence today, who would have known that such a thing would happen? And this also avoids the possibility of the same fake being discovered. At the same time, because the things in Cai Jianxuan's hands are real, they are easy to deal with, and they don't have to pay a high price to sell them. However, since Chu Chen discovered this matter, he can do it. From the light to the dark, it is very possible to follow the clues and find Cai Jianxuan's lair. Thinking about it makes Chu Chen feel excited. (To be continued) PS: Thank you very much for the monthly votes and rewards from book friends!
