After a short pause, Mr. Shu moistened his voice, and then added: "there is a great deal of research on the changes of ancient font and style. It usually spreads from the top to the bottom of the society. If the emperor thinks that the word is good-looking, the officials and the people will follow suit. Or if a famous writer or a great calligrapher thinks that it is good-looking, the rest will follow People will follow suit, which is the so-called superior and inferior. "

"Of course, it's not that no one imitates xuandenian's money and knowledge, but because of the limited information and technology in ancient times, most of the xuandenian stoves made by Emperor Xuande were lost, so it's difficult for those imitated money and knowledge to be really the same. Besides, the money and knowledge of the real xuandenian stoves were all signed by the craftsmen of the court. They have their own unique craftsmanship, and they are also famous Is it something that outsiders can easily imitate? "

After hearing the introduction of Shu Lao, Lin Xi was secretly surprised that there were so many ways to know Xuande stove. He saw that the water of antiques was deeper than he thought. However, listening to Shu Lao's meaning, it seemed that judging the true and false of Xuande stove was not just about seeing money.

"Mr. Shu, I listen to what you mean. It seems that apart from seeing the unexpected, there are other places to pay attention to?"

He nodded his head deeply, and then he praised him: "you're really smart. If you just look at the money, Xuande stove won't be a mystery in the antique world. I'll ask you first, do you know when the earliest imitation of Xuande stove appeared?"

Knowing that Shu always wanted to test himself, Lin Xi immediately said with a smile: "I read from the book that the earliest imitations of Xuande furnace started in Xuande year. Since the palace sealed the furnace in Xuande year three and no longer made Xuande furnace, the builders at that time gathered the original craftsmen to make another casting."

After a pause, Lin Xi continued: "but because of the shortage of raw materials, the wind mill copper has been used up and does not come back, so the craftsmen can only replace it with yellow miscellaneous copper. Although the workmanship of this batch of Xuande furnaces is more exquisite and the shape is more changeable, the yellow miscellaneous copper is not sealed and ground copper after all, and the overall quality is not as good as the original batch."

"In addition, the new casting Xuande furnace's style recognition has also changed. The most obvious change is the increase in the number of characters, from the original double line six character style recognition to" made by Wu bangzuo, the supervisor of the Ministry of industry in the fifth year of Xuande of the Ming Dynasty "and" made by Li Chengde, the foreign minister of the Ministry of industry ". At the same time, the style recognition has also become diversified, including regular script, seal script and so on, instead of simple regular script" Daming " "The year system of Xuande."

After listening to Lin Xi's words, Shu nodded again. Then he seemed to think of something. Maybe he warned Lin Xi intentionally. He couldn't help saying, "silly boy, although there is a new upsurge of collecting Xuande stoves among the people, the water in Xuande stoves is too deep, and there is a saying" ten stoves and nine fakes "in the industry

"Even the Xuande stoves collected by major museums are not necessarily authentic. Although the Xuande stoves are damaged, they can cause quite a stir if they are to be spread. You should pay more attention to this aspect in the future, and don't fall into it carelessly."

"Shulao, it's so serious as you said. It's not to scare me, is it?"

Looking at Lin Xi's disapproval, shulaodun said with a smile: "I know you don't believe me. Well, I'll tell you a story. The story happened in the late Qing Dynasty. It's my teacher's experience. It's just a wake-up call for you. Don't know the heaven is high and the earth is thick."

"Probably in the reign of Guangxu, my teacher and my master came to an ancient city in Shanxi Province. They were asked to look for the genuine Xuande stove. There are many antique shops in the ancient city, almost all of which are engaged in antique business."

"My teacher went into those old antique shops and searched for some valuable genuine Xuande stoves. My teacher stopped the carriage in the open space of the market, and then stayed in the same place to take care of the carriage and the real gold and silver in the carriage. When he found the valuable genuine Xuande stoves, he continued to leave."

"At that time, my master went into a play shop, which sold all kinds of antique jade, including ancient jade and new jade. But he didn't see Xuande stove and other copper stoves, so he left this shop and went to another shop."

"Later, after many twists and turns, Shigong finally came to a shop selling copper wares. He looked at all the bronze wares in the shop one by one, and at the same time he was looking for the genuine Xuande stove. But he went around the shop all the time, but he didn't see the shadow of Xuande stove. He only saw some copper pots, copper pots and so on."

"As my master was about to walk out of the shop, the shop owner suddenly came up and asked him what he wanted to buy. My Shigong didn't hide it. He directly said he wanted to buy the genuine Xuande stove. The shop owner suddenly caught his eyes, took Shigong's hand and went to the inner room. He said that he had just received a genuine Xuande stove two days ago and put it in the box."

"My master didn't think much about it at that time. He really thought the shop owner had a genuine Xuande stove, so he asked him to take it out and have a look. Besides, the shop owner took the Xuande stove out of the box and asked for 900 taels of silver. However, my master said that the Xuande stove was fake. He just looked at it twice and said," don't do it now. "He refused to return Head"Later, my master wandered around the whole street, but he didn't find the real Xuande stove. Then he went back to start the shop, and the shop owner thought he had changed his mind. They were very happy at that time. They talked about it for a long time, and finally negotiated a deal for 500 Liang silver."

"In fact, the Xuande stove was a real thing in my master's eyes, although it had some rust. He ran back and forth just to bargain. At last, he got it and went back to my teacher's carriage to continue on the road. But they didn't walk long. When they passed a stone bridge on the way, my master suddenly asked my master to stop and lift the carriage The curtain throws the newly bought Xuande stove down the stone bridge and makes a splash in the river

"My teacher asked my master what happened. He said that he was careless and bought a fake Xuande stove. Instead of harming others, he would throw it into the river to save trouble. Then he continued to tell my teacher to go on his way, because as early as when my master planned to buy a genuine Xuande stove, he had already been trapped."

After listening to this story, Lin Xi was sad. He didn't think much of Shu Lao's admonition, but when he knew that this story happened to Shu Lao's teacher and master, he finally knew to wake himself up. Even if he had the magical power of heavenly eye, he might have lost his sight.

However, Lin Xi should keep it in mind. What he is most concerned about now is how to handle the Xuande stove. At the same time, this is also the most concerned problem of Chunchun's sister and brother.

"Mr. Shu, since you think this Xuande stove is real, how do you want to change hands? My two friends have big things at home, and they are all waiting for money. The sooner the better."

After pondering for a moment, Shu stretched out two fingers in front of Lin Xi's eyes, and then said leisurely, "I have two ways. It depends on which one you want to choose. The first way is to go through the channel of auction house. You are the manager of the pawn shop. You can use your power to negotiate with the auction house and try to let them sell in a short time, At the same time, we can strive for greater interests. "

After a pause, Mr. Shu continued: "if you add the publicity and operation of the auction house, the Xuande stove is worth about 1.5 million to 1.8 million yuan. However, after deducting the Commission, the auction house can get 1.2 million to 1.5 million yuan. Moreover, the operation cycle of the auction house will take at least half a month. It depends on whether the sister and brother can wait."

Although the auction house is the safest and most profitable channel, there is not so much time for Chunchun's sister and brother to wait. Therefore, Lin Xi does not need to know that Chunchun and aze will definitely not agree to this method.
