Chapter 982 Variables
Of course, it is definitely impossible for Chu Chen to tell Judd that the interest on the money owed earlier has been waived, otherwise how would he complete the planned plan?
As for Jia Decai, he was very satisfied that Chu Chen could help solve this trouble, otherwise, if he waited for him to dispose of these antiques before paying back the money, it would not only be the interest that was originally agreed. can be solved.

Therefore, Judd quickly promised with a smile on his face: "Young Master Chu, don't worry, these things are all gifts from others to my father, so there will definitely be no problem!"

"I hope so." Chu Chen nodded lightly, and motioned for Judd to take out the things.

Judd quickly picked up a huge suitcase from the side, carefully placed it on the table, took the combination lock on it, and opened the suitcase, only to find four boxes of different sizes inside. The surrounding area is filled with padding such as foam sponge, which should play a shockproof role.

Next, Judd placed the boxes in front of Chu Chen one by one from small to large and opened them.

Inside the first box was a white jade ring.

Zaben is an ancient utensil for scooping water for washing. It is shaped like a ladle. It first appeared in the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty and became popular in the late Western Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period.

This object is carved from a whole piece of fine Khotan jade, and its shape imitates the shape of ancient bronze 匜.The narrow side is the flow, the wide side is carved handles, the upper part is the mouth, protruding forward and the rear, the protruding part is the flow, the middle part is the abdomen, and there is no decoration; the bottom of the vessel bears three breasts.

Its cup is a beast-swallowing style, and the upper part of the cup is carved with an animal head, which is a typical antique-style cup.The ware is of high-quality jade, superb cut workmanship, elegant shape and perfect appearance. It belongs to the fine works of antique jade carvings by court craftsmen in the early Qing Dynasty.

However, although the quality of this jade is good, it is nothing more than ordinary Khotan jade, and the carving is far inferior to the craftsmanship of the palace manufacturing office in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. One or two thousand.

Inside the second box, there is a pot with strings. This pot has a round lip, a straight neck, sloping shoulders, a bulging belly, and shins.The belly of the pot is drooping, and the center of gravity is low and stable.A pair of symmetrical double flat square ears are attached to the neck, which can be decorated in time, and can also be used for stringing knots.

The ridge of the foot of this pot is exposed, the fetus is fine and firm, and the color of the fetus is iron red and gorgeous.The whole machine is round and smooth, the tire repair is regular, and the technology is exquisite.Moreover, the whole body is only eleven or two centimeters high, which can be regarded as a small item, which made Chu Chen quite fond of it.

However, this is not a big deal, what makes Chu Chen even more rare is that the whole body of this vessel is covered with rusty red glaze.

Rust flower glaze is a kind of high-temperature iron crystal glaze, and crystal glaze is a kind of artificial crystal flower glaze. If it is properly combined with color glaze, it will have a unique artistic effect.For example, similar to the natural "crystallization" phenomenon in nature, there are various crystal types, such as flower shape, flower cluster shape, mica shape, diamond shape, duckweed shape and geometric shape, etc.

The chrysanthemum-like crystal has a three-dimensional effect because of its different ability to reflect light in all directions, and it looks as vivid and gorgeous as a blooming chrysanthemum.As you can imagine, if this crystal glazed tile is inlaid on the indoor wall and floor, how wonderful and beautiful it will be under the light?

And if the star-shaped crystal is paired with a sky blue color, its glaze will look like a blue sky full of stars.

Therefore, if different varieties and types of utensils can choose appropriate crystal glaze (crystal size, shape, color) to decorate, it can receive an artistic effect that artificial color decoration can't match.

In fact, as far back as the Song Dynasty, our country had the germination of crystalline glaze. At that time, famous products such as "Tianmu" and "Xingzhan", as well as the micro-colored glazes such as "free hair" produced by Jizhou kiln, tortoise shell flying oil drop, and partridge spot. Crystal products are considered to be the earliest crystal glaze products in the world.

The iron embroidery glaze used in this string pot is also the main variety of crystalline glazes. Its enamel is crystal clear and has a strong texture of iron sand; the glaze color is bright, quite rich and elegant;Partial traces of rust, the color and texture can be realistic, which is really refreshing.

Moreover, judging from the body, glaze, and craftsmanship of the pot, as well as the inscription "Yongzheng Year System" on the bottom with four characters and two lines without a frame, this object should be an authentic official kiln from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. .

Moreover, due to the complex process conditions of the crystalline glaze, the product stability is not high, and the size and location of the crystals are difficult to control.Therefore, such a perfect-looking and exquisitely crafted Yongzheng official kiln rust glaze is very rare, and of course the price is not cheap. Chu Chen estimates that the market value should be around 15.

Seeing what was in the third box, Chu Chen immediately became excited. It was nothing but the pair of colorful candlesticks that he had been thinking about day and night.

After calming down his excitement, Chu Chen directly picked up the candlestick and used the ability. The result also made him quite satisfied. The rest of the treasure map was indeed hidden in the candlestick.

Chen Dewang felt a little strange when he saw that Chu Chen was holding the candlesticks without moving, and asked, "Xiao Chen, what's the matter? Is there something wrong with the candlesticks?"

Before Chu Chen could respond, Judd shook his head and said, "How is this possible? This pair of candlesticks was given to my father by a very good friend of his on his birthday. It must not be fake!"

Chen Dewang was very grateful to Chu Chen for his help. Under such circumstances, how could he let Chu Chen buy a fake?So, he glared at Judd, took a candlestick in his hand for appraisal, and said, "Who told you that the gifts you give must be good? Young Master Chu wanted them, and you need to carefully appraise them!"

After hearing what Chen Dewang said, Judd didn't dare to say anything more. He knew Chu Chen's identity now. If the things he sold to Chu Chen were fake, the consequences would be much more serious than now.

In fact, for Chu Chen, the most important thing is to find the rest of the treasure map. Now even if the candlestick is a fake, he will buy it at the price of the real one.

Although Chen Dewang did this out of good intentions, for him, there will undoubtedly be some variables. For example, after Chen Dewang finds out that the item is a fake, he is not allowed to buy it, which is not what he wants.

Although Chu Chen hoped that Chen Dewang would not be able to see that the candlesticks were fakes, it was obviously impossible based on Chen Dewang's decades of experience and vision.

So, after Chen Dewang saw the pair of candlesticks, he shook his head and sighed: "To be honest, the person who made this pair of candlesticks is indeed a master, but he obviously didn't do enough homework, and put some characteristics of Yongzheng's fighting colors on Qianlong. The fighting color is coming up."

Chu Chen nodded on the surface, but thought in his heart, Mr. Chen guessed wrong this time, not because Zhang Huoni didn't do his homework, but because he made it on purpose.Of course, only those who have read the notes will know this.

For Judd, who was in desperate need of money, this result was obviously not what he expected, and it was also unbelievable. He said, "Uncle, you read it wrong, how could this be fake?"

"Can I be wrong about this kind of question?" Chen Dewang snorted coldly: "Look at this pair of candlesticks, no matter the color or pattern, the pattern is more delicate than before, the color is thinner, and the tone is very soft and elegant. .and this..."

Chen Dewang explained the reason again, and Judd was dubious when he heard it. Finally, seeing that Chu Chen also thought so, he reluctantly accepted the reality.

Chu Chen said: "Actually, I don't think this pair of candlesticks is useless, and it should be imitated during the Republic of China. It's also good to buy and add to decorate."

Seeing what Chu Chen said, Chen Dewang mistakenly thought that Chu Chen wanted to help him, and wanted to persuade Chu Chen not to buy it, but because Judd was by his side, if he said that, it might make Judd feel dissatisfied, so he didn't say much.But when he saw the suspicious look in Judd's eyes, it immediately made him angry.

Chu Chen also noticed the scene in front of him, and he sighed in his heart. This was exactly the variable he was worried about just now. Said: "Mr. Jia, you don't think I'm getting along with your uncle to lie to you, do you?"

"No, no! No matter what I do, I won't disbelieve you!" Judd shook his head hastily, but Chu Chen and Chen Dewang are both veterans, so it's hard to tell that his words are duplicity.

Chu Chen chuckled, and said, "Mr. Jia, if you don't believe me, you can have this pair of candlesticks appraised first, and we will trade later."

While speaking, there was a stern look in his gaze towards Judd, which made Judd shiver uncontrollably.

But for Judd, the wealth represented by this pair of candlesticks is obviously not something he can resist now that he is in urgent need of money. For a while, he seemed very hesitant, whether he should sell the things to Chu at the price of imitations in the Republic of China Chen?

Seeing this situation, Chen Dewang was furious, he gestured to Chu Chen, pulled Jia Decai aside, first cursed in a low voice, then suppressed his anger, and said, "Xiaocai, do you think I'm not doing this for this little money?" Did you lie to you? Besides, even if you don’t know how to identify antiques, don’t you know if the reason I just said is true or not?”

Judd lowered his head and said in his heart, "Who knows if you're telling the truth?"

Seeing Judd's appearance, Chen Dewang knew what he said now, and Judd probably wouldn't believe it. He sighed secretly and said, "Since you don't believe it, then you can go to the antique market and ask yourself. But you refuse now." Young Master Chu, you must discount other things, and you should know the reason."

Chen Dewang misunderstood that Chu Chen just wanted to help, and felt that it would be okay even if Judd didn't sell the pair of candlesticks, and because of this, it was very cost-effective to give Chu Chen a discount on the price.
