Jianbao life

Chapter 905 Surprised
Since she wants to help Chu Chen manage the business, Wu Ke also knows the price of jade very well now. Seeing Ning Kejing's rather surprised appearance, she smiled and said: "It's not expensive at all, and Khotan jade of this quality is getting more and more expensive." The less there are, the higher the room for growth in the future, and the value may double in a few years.”

After hearing this, Ning Kejing immediately took the jade scorpion into her hand with a happy face, and started to play with it fondly. As for settling accounts or something, she completely forgot about it.

"uh-huh!"

At this time, Mrs. Ning cleared her throat, and then said with a smile: "Xiao Jing, Xiaoyu really gave you this thing? Why haven't we seen it before!"

Ning Kejing was startled when she heard the words, then she laughed a few times, and retreated while talking: "This...then what, Mom, I'm going to do my homework!"

After finishing speaking, she turned around and was about to run to her room.

"Stop!" Mrs. Ning immediately roared like a lion: "Ning Kejing, have you forgotten our family law, if you have the guts, try running today!"

When Ning Kejing heard this, she could only turn around with a bitter face, and then moved to the position just now step by step.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Mrs. Ning said flatly.

"This...isn't this the day before my 15th birthday? Xiaoyu said that 15 years old was already an adult in ancient times. What kind of ceremony is going to be held... Oh! When I remembered, it was called '笄礼', and then she said I gave this jade stick to me, and at the time I really thought it would only cost a few thousand yuan, so I took it." Ning Kejing said a little tongue-tied.

In ancient my country, the insertion of the "Ji" was regarded as a major event in life that marked adulthood, and a ceremony was also required, called "Ji Li". In ancient times, it was customary to perform the "Ji Ri" around the age of 15, and the latest was 20 years old.That is to say, when girls insert a long hairpin into their hair, it means that a beautiful flower begins to bloom.

After hearing Ning Kejing's explanation, Mrs. Ning was furious, and angrily scolded: "Well, it's been almost two years, and you have been hiding and not telling us. If there is no today's incident, are you planning to keep hiding!"

Ning Kejing heard the words and hesitated, hesitated and couldn't speak.

Seeing this situation, Ning Yi smoothed things over and said, "Xiao Jing, it's natural for friends to give gifts to each other, and we don't object to it, but after all, you don't make money yourself, so just make the gift meaningful, otherwise you will eat it." People are soft-spoken and short-handed, you know that?"

Ning Kejing said in a low voice: "Didn't I think that this thing was worth several thousand dollars at the time? Later, I used my private money to buy her an emerald bracelet worth several thousand dollars!"

"When it's Xiaoyu's birthday this year, you must carefully choose a gift, do you hear me?" After all, there are still guests present today, and if it wasn't for Wu Ke, Ning Kejing probably wouldn't have brought out the things, and Mrs. Ning would never Much criticism.

"I see!"

Seeing that her mother let her go, Ning Kejing also breathed a sigh of relief, secretly feeling a little proud in her heart: "This girl has done a little trick, and this thing can be brought out in an open and aboveboard manner. I admire myself a little bit! But Xiaoyu's death The girl is really too, it's worth tens of thousands, but it's only a few thousand, and I'll have to settle the score with her when I go to school on Monday!"

Ning Yi and his wife didn't know that today's event was planned by Ning Kejing, but because of this, Ning Yi thought of something he was not sure about, so he said: "Xiaochen, you just happened to be here today, can you Help me identify something, the person who gave it to me said it was a modern imitation, but no matter how I look at it, it seems to be real."

Hearing this, Chu Chen became interested and said, "Uncle Ning, where are the things, I'll help you see."

"I'm going to get it now..."

After a while, Ning Yi came back from the study with a bottle in his arms.

"Here, this is the thing, Xiao Chen, take a look." Ning Yi put the bottle in front of Chu Chen.

"what!"

As soon as the thing came into his eyes, Chu Chen let out a little gasp, because it was a flat vase with blue and gold consecration, pink enamel, Huafeng, three blessings, and double chi ears, which was quite complicated in workmanship. I think it should be a work of the Qianlong period.

This kind of flat pot was changed from the Yongxuan Imperial Ware. Its elegant and noble shape reveals the unique style of the royal family. It was deeply loved by Emperor Qianlong. He ordered Tang Ying to burn it for many times. The decorative patterns are also rich and colorful, which shows that the firing was prosperous in that year, and it is a model for the imperial porcelain of the Qianlong Dynasty to imitate the ancient and innovate.

The flat bottle in front of me seems to be a very outstanding example at that time.

Seeing Chu Chen's surprised expression, Ning Yi quickly asked, "Xiao Chen, is this bottle really the real thing?"

Chu Chen shook his head: "I'll see if it's true or not, but even if it's wrong, this flat bottle is pretty good..."

After speaking, he carefully picked up something and observed it carefully.

The shape of this bottle is elegant and elegant. The two sides of the neck are affixed with carved gold dragon ears. They are cute and vivid, and contrast with the round and flat body of the bottle.

And its decoration is also graceful and gorgeous. The whole body is covered with blue glaze, and the golden color is used to depict the twining foreign flowers and the dark Eight Immortals.

There are consecrated decorations on the front and back of the bottle body, and a picture of the scenic view of the fairy mountain on one side.

On the other side is the picture of "Three Blessings of Huafeng", which are the three best wishes of Huazhou people to Tang Yao, a sage in ancient times.That is: wishing birthday, wishing wealth, and wishing many men, collectively known as the three wishes.Today's "Hua Feng San Zhu" is a speech to wish more wealth, longevity and descendants.

This allusion comes from "Zhuangzi Tiandi": "Yao looked at Hua. Hua Fengren said: Please bless the saints, make the saints rich, make the saints live, and make the saints have more men."

This picture shows the scene of a group of immortals praying to the Queen Mother. The color of the whole work is festive and harmonious. There are many lifelike images of immortals on the screen, as well as immortals such as deer, tortoise, crane, tiger and phoenix, and gods such as pine orchid, peach, ganoderma and peony. Grass.

The painting style of this device is realistic and meticulous, the characters are depicted in detail, and the clothes are fine and smooth.In the wonderful brushwork of all people, it looks as if it is real, especially the face is smudged with a very light alum red, which separates yin and yang, just like the skin color.

In addition, the bottom of this bottle is a shallow ring foot, with turquoise green glaze applied inside, and the red-colored seal script of "Qianlong Years of the Qing Dynasty" signed in the center, with exquisite seal script and steady brushwork.

The painting in this bottle is auspicious and auspicious, with a combination of fiction and reality, sparse and clear brush and ink, elegant and elegant colors, clear and elegant brushstrokes, well-organized scenery, and well-organized characters.

If Ning Yi hadn't mentioned it before, Chu Chen would definitely think that this flat bottle is the best among Qianlong imperial porcelains just looking at the painting and coloring.

However, since Ning Yi's friend has repeatedly said that this flat bottle is a fake, he must treat it with caution. Although the other party may deliberately say the truth is false, judging from what happened to Ning Kejing just now, Ning Yi should be very cautious about accepting gifts, such a thing worth several million, even if the other party said it was true, he probably would not accept it.

That being the case, what's the point of his friend deliberately calling something fake?
So, next, Chu Chen carefully observed the flat bottle in his hand from the inside to the outside, and after more than 20 minutes, he put the bottle back on the table and sighed: "The imitators are so powerful. !"

"Is it really an imitation?" Ning Yi asked.

Chu Chen nodded and said: "It is indeed, but the imitation is enough to be confused with the real one. Except for two or three small details and the air bubbles showing flaws, it is exactly the same as the real one!"

Hearing this, Ning Kejing asked, "Brother Xiaochen, does this porcelain still have air bubbles?"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Of course there are bubbles, but we can't see them with the naked eye. You can use this magnifying glass to see."

"Hey! There really are, big ones, small ones, just like pearls..." Ning Kejing looked at the surface of the porcelain with a magnifying glass, and immediately yelled, and after a while, her face showed a smile. With a strange look, he asked, "Why does this bubble seem to burst?"

Chu Chen looked at it and said, "That's called death bubbles, which are a phenomenon caused by the aging of the glaze, but the death bubbles you see are actually made. In fact, if it weren't for such a flaw, this flat I'm not sure about the authenticity of the bottle."

After hearing this, Ning Yi asked, "So powerful?"

Chu Chen nodded and said: "Yes! At this level, not to mention ordinary people, even experts are likely to make a fuss about it. Moreover, there are only a handful of Qianlong porcelains that I have seen before, and there are only a handful of them. I don't know who made it."

Speaking of this, he suddenly thought of something, and asked quickly: "Uncle Ning, I wonder where your friend bought this flat bottle from?"

Ning Yi thought for a while and replied: "When he gave it to me earlier, he seemed to mention that he bought it from a friend in Porcelain City."

After hearing this, Chu Chen quickly asked, "Then when did he send you off?"

Ning Yi replied: "I gave it during the Chinese New Year. Speaking of which, I thought the bottle was pretty bright at the time. Why did the color of the bottle become dim after only a few months, but it looks even more beautiful than when I gave it to me?" Be natural."

Chu Chen was very excited when he heard the words. The bright color of the bottle means that it has not been out of the oven for a long time. Before that, he was worried that the bottle was made by Zhang Huoni's heir, but now it seems that the maker must be someone else.

That being the case, then he must find that person, not to mention that he might be able to hire that person to work in his kiln. It is very likely that another Zhang Huoni will appear.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen quickly asked, "Uncle Ning, can you help me to ask your friend where he bought this flat bottle..."
