I Don’t Want To Be Popular

Chapter 641 Let me see if you are bragging

Chen Chuan estimated that this woman was not much older than Ye Zhilin.

But in comparison, Ye Zhilin's childlike face is as pink and tender as a little girl. But this woman is already old.

It is obvious that Ye Zhilin is pampered and has never done any menial work. She is well-maintained and self-disciplined, and has always maintained a young body and mentality. But because of his special physique, it looks very unscientific and seems to violate the rules of gravity.

Ye Zhilin held up the vase with a look of surprise and took out a magnifying glass to look at it. It was like a little girl seeing her favorite big toy. She couldn't put it down and gently caressed it. She showed a satisfied look and said with a smile: "It looks good." Oh, this luster, thickness, and full feeling, are they genuine?"

Although she didn't raise her head, Chen Chuan knew she was asking him.

Chen Chuan came closer and turned on the small flashlight to take a closer look.

Boom!

There was thunder outside, and the sky was terrifyingly gloomy at noon.

In addition to the rain, the wind picked up again. It seemed that it was a good rain. This area has not been moistened or irrigated by rain for a long time.

This is a blue and white vase with rich and dense patterns, delicate and exquisite.

"Blue flowers with hanging clouds and flowers on the outside are light blue on the outside. This technique is more common in Qing Dynasty porcelain. The colors are rich and deep, in line with the style of the Qianlong period. There are many auspicious patterns in the Qianlong blue and white patterns, with various animals or plants. And the homophonic sounds of objects, draw patterns that symbolize auspiciousness or blessings, such as bats and blessings, fish and fish, pine cranes represent longevity, and mandarin ducks represent pairs. This mandarin duck bottle also matches the pattern." Chen Chuan slowly said Reviews.

Ye Zhilin looked nervous.

The seller also said nervously: "This is real, passed down from ancestors. I am selling it if I need money urgently."

Chen Chuan added: "Sister Ye, look at the bottom of the vase. Most of the Qianlong blue and white paintings have six-character seal script inscriptions [Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty] written on the bottom foot of the vessel. Four-character seal script inscriptions and regular script inscriptions are rarely seen."

"This only says [Qianlong Year System], is it a replica of the Republic of China? Anyway, the color doesn't look like a modern artwork." Ye Zhilin asked.

"Look at the surface of this porcelain. It is crystal clear and bluish white. The kiln entrance is in Jingdezhen." Chen Chuan looked over and over. "This porcelain has a light, thin and smooth texture. It is not made after Daoguang. After Daoguang, the carcass was thick and loose. Again. Looking at the glaze, the glaze is not as shiny as the plump ones in the Ming Dynasty.

The glaze is thin and the color is slightly bluish white. During the Shunzhi and Kangxi dynasties, the glaze surface was smooth and delicate, and the body glaze was closely combined. The glaze surface was blue-white, pink-white, sauce white and other colors; during the Yongzheng period, the glaze was fine, white and moist, with many orange peel wrinkles; during the Qianlong period, it was flat and bluish. "In the late Qing Dynasty, the glaze was thin and the enamel was loose..."

Chen Chuan analyzed carefully, and the knowledge about [Antique Appreciation] emerged in his mind.

Chen Chuan didn't notice that Ye Zhilin looked at him with eyes that slowly changed from surprise to admiration, even with a hint of admiration.

Ye Zhilin stood aside, like a little girl listening to a teacher. She sometimes nodded, sometimes raised her forehead, her eyes were focused and serious, and she would ask some questions. Looking at the porcelain bottle, he also looked at the teacher giving a lecture.

Unknowingly, Ye Zhilin's heart beat faster and her face became rosy, as if water could come out with just a pinch.

"Teacher Chen, what about this color? Is this considered smearing or spotting?" Ye Zhilin asked again.

"It's dot dyeing. Qianlong blue and white porcelain has an elegant blue color. The fruits and leaf petals in the decoration are colored by dot dyeing, which has different shades of layers. Most of the imitations are colored by smearing, and some are dyed with dot dyeing, but the blue and white color is more Thin, floating on the surface." Chen Chuan said.

"Then the signature on the flat bottom is four words." Ye Zhilin frowned.

"This is the only doubtful thing, but look at the character "Qian". The lower part is a straight "S" shape, and the upper part of the "S" opens to the right; the lower right part of the character "Long" is symmetrical; the character "年" There is usually a small gap above the top; this rare Qianlong official kiln writing style belongs to the font used by Tang Ying in the early Qianlong period when he was the governor of Jingdezhen kiln officials." Chen Chuan said.

Ye Zhilin understood, this was genuine.

If it was genuine, the price would be at least 600,000 yuan, but the simple county woman opposite only offered 380,000 yuan.

Ye Zhilin's love was about to overflow again. She wanted to make up to 600,000 yuan for the seller, so she said, "Sister, your price is..."

"It's 380,000, and it can't be any less." The woman said firmly.

"No, actually..." Ye Zhilin said.

Chen Chuan glanced at Ye Zhilin.

Ye Zhilin read something in Chen Chuan's eyes, that is... you can give them whatever they want.

Ye Zhilin nodded obediently and said, "Okay, sister, I want this vase at the price you said. You write an order and write down the card number, and I will make money for you."

"Okay, okay, Miss is such a happy person! You can see that she comes from a wealthy family!" The woman smiled happily and said, "Miss, would you like to have lunch here? I will cook for you. Look at what's going on today. It’s raining so hard, you can’t leave.”

"Ah? It's time to eat. Then I'll trouble you, sister. I'll give you an extra 1,000 yuan for food." Ye Zhilin asked Chen Chuan for his opinion with her eyes.

Looking at the pouring rain outside, Chen Chuan had no choice but to agree to eat here.

The seller wrote a note, and Ye Zhilin transferred the money, then carefully picked up the vase, held an umbrella, and ran to the car to put it away.

"I really can't leave. Is it going to rain all the time?" Ye Zhilin looked outside worriedly.

"You two sit down and I'll cook. There's a small balcony on the second floor where you can enjoy the view. The scenery in the mountains is beautiful!" the seller said enthusiastically.

"Thank you, sister. Since I am clumsy, I won't go to the kitchen to cause trouble for you." Ye Zhilin said.

"You are so valuable, how can I let you do the work? I will do it. Don't be dissatisfied with mediocre food." The seller went to wash his hands and went to cook.

It can be seen that the seller is in a good mood after successfully selling this vase.

Ye Zhilin and Chen Chuan watched the rain under the eaves, and then went to the second floor to watch the scenery together.

This is a self-built small building in the countryside near the county seat, with a total of three floors.

The surrounding area is relatively quiet.

This village is not big and there are few people and cars.

In villages like this, the young people have gone out to work, while the middle-aged, elderly and children stay here.

This seller's eldest sister is her husband who took his son to work. She works at home and takes care of the elderly, who does not live here but is from the same village.

As for why she rushed out the vase, Ye Zhilin didn't ask much.

"Why don't you let me give that elder sister a little more money?" Ye Zhilin asked Chen Chuan, "If this is genuine, it will cost at least 600,000 yuan."

Chen Chuan said: "It's not about money. If you give me more, do you think they will still sell it? People will think, wow, it's a rare treasure? Then how much should I increase the price? How about not selling it now? Let's study it carefully later. Research...then our trip is in vain."

"It makes sense." Ye Zhilin nodded.

"If you want to give more money, you can sign the contract and then find other reasons and excuses to give more money after you buy it. In short, sign it first and then talk about it." Chen Chuan said.

"I understand, then I'll give them some more next time I come," Ye Zhilin said.

"Actually, if you give more, people may not thank you, and they will think that you have deceived them..." Chen Chuan said, "This kind of thing is voluntary between the buyer and the seller. There is no dead price for antiques. Do you think the genuine article is worth 600,000?" , what if it drops to 200,000? It’s your responsibility, so just buy it. You give her whatever she wants, there’s nothing wrong with it.”

"Yes, this thing is risky. This year it is worth 60, and next year it may be worth 20." Ye Zhilin looked at Chen Chuan and smiled, "Looking at you, you know a lot."

"Are you saying I'm not big? I'm not big enough at 23? Do you believe me or not? Let me show you?" Chen Chuan said.

Ye Zhilin looked around and heard the sound of her eldest sister cooking in the kitchen on the first floor. There was no one on the second floor and there were no other buildings nearby, so she asked softly: "What are you showing me?"

"ID card."

"Okay, let me see... are you bragging?" Ye Zhilin said softly.

The two of them were standing on the balcony, and it was windy and rainy outside.
