    Xie Yi continued: "There is another problem. Although the style of this painting is very similar to that of Qianlong, it is really too good."

    Yu Boda was a little stunned when he heard this: "Mr.

    Xie Yi said: "Of course there is a problem. In fact, Qianlong's painting level is not too outstanding. He just has a unique temperament because he is the emperor. In addition, there is a lot of hype about the 'palace concept' in the auctions. Qianlong's works  The price will keep rising, and if you replace it with a less well-known author of the same level, you will probably not get any change."

    "Of course, if you don't agree with what I say, there are still some flaws that can be identified. The various materials used in Qianlong's paintings were the best at the time. Paper and silk were both top-notch products at the time. They have all the characteristics of high-quality paper and silk.  . The ink pad is an eight-treasure ink pad made from pearls, agate, coral, musk, plum slices, gold foil, amber, monkey and other eight precious treasures. It has the characteristics of bright color, pure color and clear imprint. This painting has all the characteristics in this aspect.  not to standard."

    "In addition, Qianlong liked to collect famous inks from past dynasties, and the quality of Qianlong's imperial ink was excellent, so the ink in his paintings was black and translucent. There would never be any 'ink running' during the mounting process, but if you look at this, there is  There is an obvious phenomenon of ink bleeding, which is absolutely impossible to happen on a genuine product.¡±

    Xie Yi talked eloquently and pointed out the problems one by one. Yu Boda was speechless.

    "Boss Yu, do you have any other questions?" Xie Yi asked.

    Yu Boda smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I didn't expect that I spent a lot of money to buy it, but it turned out to be a fake, but I lost money to death! But don't worry, Mr. Li, I will recognize anything with problems. How much money is missing?  Let¡¯s count it all together until the end.¡±

    Li Huigang nodded lightly and asked Xie Yi to continue explaining.

    Xie Yi continued: "The second problematic thing is Xu Wei's "Miscellaneous Flower Scroll". Generally speaking, Xu Wei's works are not limited to objects, but can capture their spirit. They use bald brushes to spread out, and they are as powerful as a sudden storm.  The vertical and horizontal spleen is glaringbut this work, as a whole, only has 60% of Xu Wei's skill, which is far behind."

    "As for the third problematic item, this Ding kiln tripod. Although I am not very good at porcelain appraisal, I can still tell that there is something wrong with the shape of this tripod and it is not a work of Ding kiln in the Song Dynasty. However,  Fortunately, this cauldron can be considered an old imitation, so it is still valuable."

    "Boss Yu, what do you have to say?"

    Li Huigang looked at Yu Boda with a somewhat cold look. If you say that the previous "Apricot Blossom Picture" was probably a very high imitation, it is understandable that Yu Boda got it wrong, but what happened to the next two pieces?  The thing is, one painting is only 60% of the original work, and the porcelain even has problems with its shape. Are you prepared to perfunctory yourself?

    Yu Boda quickly said: "Mr. Li, I didn't intentionally deceive you. I bought these three things with real money. I am also a victim! But don't worry, I will never let you do it no matter what."  You are at a loss, please add up how much the remaining seven works cost, and I will replenish them for you."

    "How long will it take to return it to me?" Li Huigang asked.

    Yu Boda said: "It depends on how much is needed. If the money is not much, I can raise funds within a day or two. If there is a lot of money, it may take some time."

    Li Huigang asked Xie Yi, and the other party gave an estimate of 20 million for seven antiques.

    Yu Boda gritted his teeth: "Twenty million is enough, but please give me some time for the remaining ten million. I will send you the money within a month at the latest."

    Li Huigang is quite satisfied with this result. At least Yu Boda did not deny it. Of course, if Yu Boda dared to deny it, don't blame him for being rude and throwing it directly into the sea to feed the sharks.

    "Okay, you write a new IOU, and I'll write a receipt too."

    "OK."

    Yu Boda quickly agreed. In fact, as the owner, and these ten antiques have been appraised by many experts, how could he not know that there is something wrong with them?  Originally, he planned to fish in troubled waters, but he didn't expect that Li Huigang actually invited Xie Yi, causing all his plans to go wrong. Thinking about it, he was so depressed that he had a toothache.

    At this time, Meng Zitao called Xue Wenguang to his side and asked in a low voice: "Do you know Yu Boda?"

    "We have met several times." Xue Wenguang replied.

    "Then, if you do this later, is there any problem?" Meng Zitao said.

    Xue Wenguang was slightly startled, then nodded immediately and said: "No problem, I will finish it beautifully."

    "This is what you said, if it happensMeng Zitao smiled and said: "Mr.

    "What's that?" Everyone looked at Meng Zitao curiously.

    Meng Zitao took out the tripod, turned it over, pointed at a tripod leg and said, "Please look here, everyone. Although the tripod leg is worn, the writing on it is still vaguely legible. Does it look like the word 'zhou'?"

    Everyone came forward and found that there was indeed a word that looked like "zhou" on the worn tripod foot with its porcelain body exposed.

    Shu Ze couldn¡¯t wait to say: ¡°Zitao, please stop showing off and tell us the answer quickly.¡±

    Meng Zitao smiled and said: "Actually, I don't know if I am right. I think it is probably the work of Zhou Danquan."

    The store owner who came with me before could not help but exclaimed: "What! How is it possible that Zhou Danquan's works are possible!"

    Zhou Danquan was a typical skilled craftsman of the Wu clan during the Longqing and Wanli years of the Ming Dynasty.  He was a master of porcelain making imitation of Ding kiln porcelain; the imitation Ding kiln porcelain he fired was known as Zhou kiln.  According to Lan Pu's "Jingdezhen Ceramics Record": Zhou Kiln, a native of Longqing and Wanli, named Danquan, originally from the Wu family, came to Changnan to make utensils, and was a famous craftsman at that time.  Especially exquisite antique utensils.  Often when a product is produced, all parties bid for it, even spending a lot of money to compete for the market.

    There is such a story in "Shi Zhai Bi Tan".  One day, Zhou Danquan took a boat from Jinchang to Jiangyou and passed by the mausoleum to visit his friend Tang Taichang.  He said to Tang, I heard that you have an ancient Dingding tripod. Can you show it to me?  Tang Taichang brought it to him, and while he was looking at it, he measured the size with his fingers, copied the pattern of the tripod and hid it, then returned the tripod to Tang Taichang, and they parted ways.

    After leaving, he returned to the porcelain capital half a year later, went to see Tang Taichang again, and said to him: "I also got one of your Baiding furnace cauldrons. Tang was very surprised. When he compared the one he had with Zhou Danquan's, they were exactly the same.  There is no difference. Even if it is placed in the container used to hold the tripod, it seems to contain gaps.

    Strangely enough, Tang Taichang asked where he got the Danquan Cauldron. Zhou Danquan told him: To be honest, this cauldron is an imitation of yours.  Taichang was so impressed that he bought it for 40 gold, kept it as a copy, and hid it in his family's temple.  Later, a man named Du Jiu from Huai'an came to Fuliang and dreamed of Taichang's ancient tripod. Finally, he got Zhou Danquan's imitation of the tripod from Taichang's grandson for a thousand gold.

    Regrettably, this tripod changed hands several times and was eventually disused and sank in the Qiantang River, and its whereabouts are unknown.

    So, are there any porcelains imitated by Zhou Danquan that have been handed down from generation to generation?  It is said that the former Palace Museum has a delicate yellow cone made by Zhou Danquan for gluttony. It was previously exhibited in exhibitions and is now hidden in the Palace Museum on Baodao. No one has ever seen it.

    Xie Yi frowned slightly and said, "Although I have never seen Zhou Danquan's works, judging from the glaze color of this imitation Ding kiln tripod, it really doesn't look like the legendary Zhou Danquan's works, right?"

    Meng Zitao said: "Of course there is a reason for this, but now I have nothing in my hand and can't handle it."

    Li Huigang said: "Whatever you want, I'll ask someone to get it right away."

    Meng Zitao said: "The things are not expensive, just some tung oil, some warm water, and some cotton gauze."

    "Okay, wait a moment, I'll ask someone to bring it over."

    The person Li Huigang called was very fast and immediately brought what Meng Zitao wanted.

    Next, Meng Zitao took a gauze, dipped it in some tung oil and began to wipe it. There was no special reaction at first, but after a while, the porcelain tripod began to reveal its true colors.

    I saw that this tripod is square and dignified in shape, simple and elegant.  The mouth of the furnace is square, with a flat square lip, and vertical cupola ears on both sides of the edge. Half of the glaze is applied inside the furnace, making it hard and dense.  There are double Kui patterns printed on all sides of the furnace body, with a brocade glutinous rice pattern underneath the pattern, and "S"-shaped printed patterns on the sides of the four legs.

    After Meng Zitao washed the porcelain tripod with warm water and put it on the table, the eyes of everyone in the room were a little straightened, and they all showed incredulous expressions.

    The surface of the whole vessel is bright and soft, and its color is tooth-white, pleasing to the eye and refined. The spots look like tear stains and the color is slightly darker. Although it has experienced thousands of years of wind and frost, it is as simple and pure as ever.  If it weren't for the vague word "Zhou" in the tripod foot, everyone would definitely think that this is an exquisite work from the Ding kiln of the Song Dynasty.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
