Rebirth 93: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Bai Fumei

Chen Yang and others were waiting in the room, looking eagerly at the box on the ground. Qin Haofeng even squatted on the ground and smacked his lips while looking at the box. Last time Brother Yang and Zhuzi went to the middle-aged brother's place, they took back a complete set of Twelve Flower God Cups. I really want to know what good things they can get this time.

But this big brother just put the box here, turned around and left. Who dares to open it and look at it? Don't say too much, but say later that there is 10,000 yuan missing, which is all light. If you really say that something valuable is missing, you will have to pay as much as they ask for it.

Chen Yang was not in a hurry at all. The fact that the elder brother could deliver the things showed that he had great trust in him. He was not afraid of being late for a good meal. Maybe there would be something really good this time!

Not long after, the man came back riding a big 28. This time, Chen Yang didn't need to speak. Zhuzi and Qin Haofeng ran out to help, untied the rope from the back seat of the bicycle, and each walked in holding a box. Chen Yang stood up and smiled, motioning for the middle-aged man to sit down, and then motioned for Lao Shan to pour tea.

"Brother, how have you been in the past six months? Is your sister-in-law feeling better?" Chen Yang was not in a hurry to look at the items. He also knew in his heart that if the eldest brother found the child, he would probably not collect so many things. By asking this, Chen Yang just hoped to hear good news.

The eldest brother waved his hand and smiled bitterly, saying that he had traveled across most of the country to see where it was so easy to find. Whenever there was news, he would rush there as soon as possible, but there was still no news.

"Boss Chen, I came back from outside this time and collected some things. Let me show you." The middle-aged man said with a slight embarrassment on his face, "Looking for the children, my wife is seeing a doctor and taking medicine. My mother's health has not been good this year. I’m not rich, so I feel panicked!”

Opening the large wooden box, the middle-aged man first took out an object wrapped in a pillow towel. This object must be nearly 20 centimeters in size. Several people stood not far away and watched. The middle-aged man slowly opened the pillow cover, took out a white-glazed Guanyin statue from the inside, and placed it neatly on the table, very piously. He bowed to the Guanyin statue and muttered in a low voice: "I'm offended, I'm offended. You are so merciful, but there's nothing I can do about it!"

Chen Yang smiled slightly in his heart. There was nothing he could do about it. When this thing came to him, it was just an object. But in the big brother's heart, it was different. Guanyin has always responded to requests. The eldest brother is now anxious to find a child, but he doesn't have much money and is afraid of offending the Bodhisattva by selling the Guanyin statue, so he does this.

After the middle-aged elder brother paid his respects, he motioned to Chen Yang to help him take a look. Chen Yang did not reach for the Guanyin statue, but stood up and stood opposite the Guanyin statue. Then he followed his elder brother's example and clasped his hands together slightly. This action really surprised Qin Haofeng and Zhuzi. This was the first time they saw him like this. What happened today!

Dehua white porcelain Guanyin statue!

Guanyin sits on the rocks with her head lowered and her eyes lowered. Her face is plump and swollen, her facial features are concentrated, and her expression is calm, as if she is meditating on the contents of the scriptures. Her braid is divided into two strands and draped over her shoulders. Each strand of hair looks very thin. Some of the strands also go around the upper edge of her ears and are combed back politely. She wears a toga and has lotus flowers and flowers on her chest. Necklace, left and right hands are held on the chest, the pattern of the clothes is natural, and the pleats of the robe at the hands are full of changes. Through the outline of the pleats, the body shape of Guanyin is revealed.

Chen Yang got closer and took a closer look at the front of the Guanyin statue. Then he walked behind the table and looked at the back from top to bottom. When he saw the words "He Chaozong" printed on the back, Chen Yang sighed secretly.

"Boss Chen, how are you?" The eldest brother saw Chen Yang looking around and asked Chen Yang from the side.

"Brother, this... is not true!" Chen Yang shook his head and walked to the front of the Guanyin statue. "Brother, let me tell you carefully."

"This Guanyin statue is an imitation of the Dehua kiln white porcelain Guanyin statue. Dehua white porcelain is world-famous. The image created has both common characteristics and different personalities. It has both form and spirit and is full of artistic charm. Its Guanyin shape is more It’s valuable.”

As he spoke, Chen Yang pointed at the Guanyin statue from the side, "Judging from the overall shape of the statue, the proportions are out of proportion, that is, the head is obviously larger than the body, and the face is also very different from the real thing, that is, there is no obvious oval face, arched eyebrows, etc." Characteristics.”

"Secondly, the Dehua white porcelain has a delicate texture, a crystal-clear glaze, and is covered with white glaze. But for your piece, the glaze is muddy, and the fold lines are stiff and lifeless."

While talking, Chen Yang took his middle-aged brother to the back of the Guanyin statue, pointed to the three characters He Chaozong engraved on the back and explained, "Let's look at the back. There are the words 'He Chaozong' engraved on it. It can be called a statue in the mid-Ming Dynasty. It is the pinnacle of Dehua porcelain sculpture art. And He Chaozong is definitely the most representative figure in this field for hundreds of years. He uses Dehua white porcelain as a medium to give full play to the expressive and freehand strengths of traditional sculpture. His statue of Guanyin, pay attention to While expressing the inner part of the character, we also pay attention to the characterization of the clothing patterns on the outer surface, showing the personality in the depiction of the character's expression, both form and spirit, subtly expressing the inner world of the character, and full of charm."

"So..." Chen Yang looked at the middle-aged brother. He knew that every object here was not just money for him, but a hope.

"It's a replica, right? Okay, let's look at the next one!" As he spoke, the middle-aged brother reached out and picked up the Guanyin statue from the table, and threw it directly into the box. There was no trace of the pious feeling he had with his hands clasped together just now. .

I go! Chen Yang looked at his elder brother and blinked a few times. This had changed too fast! Although the craftsmanship is fake, it does not affect your worship!

"Brother, your attitude before and after..." Chen Yang looked at the middle-aged brother who was holding the object, opened his mouth and asked, "Do you believe it or not?"

The middle-aged brother held an object wrapped in newspaper and turned to smile at Chen Yang, "Boss Chen, to tell you the truth, I spent more than fifty yuan to buy this object. According to you, it's all worth it." It’s fake, can you help me find my child?”

"And he also helped that man deceive me fifty yuan. How can he be a good Bodhisattva? Why should I believe this kind of Bodhisattva!"

After hearing this, Chen Yang looked at his middle-aged brother with wide eyes, and then at the Dehua white porcelain Guanyin statue lying in a big wooden box. Brother is awake in the world!

As the middle-aged brother spoke, he opened the newspaper. There was a porcelain plate wrapped in the middle of the newspaper. Chen Yang came closer and scanned it with his eyes, and his heart skipped a beat. It was over, it was another fake!

The porcelain plate is painted with white plum blossoms and peonies climbing from the outer wall over the edge of the plate and spreading out in the center of the plate; the plum blossoms are bent and curled sideways, and the branches have calyces and buds, each with its own mood; the peonies are graceful and graceful, echoing the height of the plum blossoms. ; Two bees are about to fall but then fly away, adding wild interest to the movement and stillness.

Judging from the content of the painting, this should be an imitation of the Yongzheng pastels of the Qing Dynasty. The biggest feature of the real Yongzheng pastels is that the glaze is white. At first glance, the glaze is as gentle as jade and the shape is beautiful. The glaze is smooth and smooth, like fat and jade. However, due to the incorrect proportion of the glaze, most of the imitations will have a pale white glaze. The glaze is almost pink-white and bright. The plate in front of you completely conforms to the characteristics of the imitation.

This decorative technique is called "cross-branch flowers" and was first seen in the late Kangxi period, especially on multicolored porcelain. What is a flower that crosses a branch? A flower branch crosses a wall, which brings long-term peace and stability! Flower decoration, also known as wall flower decoration, is a unique pattern. It refers to the decoration between the inner and outer walls of the porcelain or the body and cover, which are connected and integrated. Like flower branches crossing the top of the wall, extending from the outer wall to the inner wall.

The internal and external wall decorations are important components of each other, complementing each other and complementing each other. There are also "over branches" where the decoration extends from the body of the vessel to the lid, inadvertently causing people to realize that what should be two decorations becomes one decoration. If they don’t understand the decorative pattern of “crossing branches”, many people won’t even notice its overall coherent features. This kind of decoration symbolizes the consolidation of the territory, the meaning of internal and external stability, and also symbolizes the unification of the country.

However, for all such meanings and shapes, the paintings must be matched according to certain proportions. However, imitations often only have the shape but not the spirit. The composition is uncoordinated and the overall structural proportion of the shape is unharmonious. Although the height or caliber is the same as that in the book. The dimensions are the same, but the curvature of the belly of the object is not accurate, either expanding or shrinking.

For example, this pastel birthday disk with flowers crossing the wall is painted too far. According to this proportion, it should not be called a flower with branches, but should be called a red apricot flower with many children and grandchildren!

There is also this kind of object. The old traces are more prominent on one side, making you look like an old object at a glance. In order to show that it is an old object, some smear some gray-brown mud on the bottom of the object or the mouth of the jar, and this one The plate also hit this spot, and there was a chip on the edge of the plate.

Therefore, for objects with special meanings like this, you don’t need to look too much. First look at the composition, and secondly look at the shape of the vessel. As for the color used and the texture, you don’t need to look too much. If the composition of the painting is not up to standard at first glance, it will almost die. ! Don't have any illusions, the official kiln will never allow a little mistake!

After listening to Chen Yang's words, the middle-aged brother nodded to show that he understood. Then he put away the plates and started to take items from the box, one, two, three... The last thing he looked at was Qin Haofeng and Zhuzhu frowned, thinking to himself: Brother, hurry up and get something serious, even if it's from the late Republic of China, otherwise you won't even have to pay attention to asking for money for the children!

Chen Yang also had a headache when he looked at the middle-aged brother. He understood what he said quickly, but this object... But one thing is better. At least this brother didn't make the same mistake as last time. He swiped everything back. , this time it’s all porcelain.

After looking at all the items in the big box, there really wasn't any. Not to mention there wasn't one, there really was one. It was a cup with lemon yellow glaze in the late Republic of China. Although the object was fine, it was not valuable! Although Chen Yang and Qin Haofeng were a little disappointed, the middle-aged brother was obviously not discouraged. He covered the big wooden box and then picked up a rectangular wooden box. This box was new, depending on the items inside. .

When the middle-aged brother opened the box and took out the bottle inside and placed it on the table, Chen Yang's eyes lit up slightly. This object opened the door wide!
