At noon, Mo Lao came down to ask Wang Rui to eat, after eating, Mo Lao went to take a lunch break, Wang Rui hurriedly returned to the treasure room, continued to appreciate, and it took another hour to see all the jade, including a few jade cicadas and a few ancient jade from the Tang Dynasty and Ming Dynasty. Next, start to appreciate porcelain, Mo Lao's collection of porcelain is mainly the porcelain of the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has a Hongwu dragon pattern bowl and a Wanli blue and white three-color lotus wash, the Song Dynasty has a brother kiln beige glazed string pattern three-legged furnace and an official kiln powder blue glaze flower mouth bowl. As for calligraphy and painting and inkstone, Wang Rui is still weak, to appreciate each calligraphy and painting one by one, he has seen it in the book, appreciation of calligraphy and painting needs to look at the paper, ink, seal, painting, calligraphy characteristics and framing, etc., now Wang Rui's seal is not recognized, let alone identified. There is no way, each calligraphy and painting is first identified and then appreciated, and the various characteristics of the authentic work are memorized one by one. As for the inkstone, it is even worse, Wang Rui adopted the same method, first identify and then appreciate. There are also miscellaneous antiques, including ancient coins, Buddhist beads, wadang and snuff bottles. Wang Rui also appreciated them one by one.

In the evening, Mo Lao and Sitong came to the treasure room together, and when Mo Sitong saw Wang Rui, he asked, "How many pieces have you found?" "Looks like she already knows what the test is about." I found five pieces, but I just don't know if it's right. As he spoke, he took a jade gui and put it in front of Mo Lao, and Mo Lao said, "Tell me what's wrong." "This pointed jade should be a ritual vessel in the Warring States Period, the pulp is natural, but the color is rigid and not natural enough, I think it should be imitated in the Ming Dynasty, it is to sew this piece of jade in the thigh meat of live cattle and sheep, take it out after a year, and then bury it in the ground for a year to dig it out, and form the Qin color." "That's right, I received this jade gui when I was young, and I was eye-catching. It seems that you are better than I was when I was younger. Wang Rui took out another piece of porcelain, "This bottom Kangxi's blue and white Taishi and young master amphora should be imitated during the Republic of China, although the level of imitation is very high, but this lion is not powerful and domineering enough, and the pulp is not enough." "This should be imitated by the master of Jingdezhen Imperial Kiln Factory, the level is extremely high, although it is an imitation, it also has a high appreciation value." Wang Rui took out another calligraphy and painting and said: "This Shi Tao's landscape adopts the ink breaking method and the splashing ink method, and the ink is warm and moist, in line with Shi Tao's painting style, I originally thought this is a genuine handiwork, but there are too many imitations of Shi Tao, I just feel that the upper realm is not right, and I feel that the lines are not smooth and natural enough." "Yes, Shi Tao's works, there are many imitations to the flood, made in the back door, made in Yangzhou, made in Suzhou, made in Guangzhou, and there are many famous artists who have imitated Shi Tao's paintings, just like Zhang Daqian's imitation of Shi Tao's paintings, which can reach the level of fakeness. I'm made of this backdoor. "In the early years of the Republic of China, there were some workshops in the Di'anmen area of Beijing that specialized in making and selling fake paintings for a living, so this kind of fake paintings were called backdoor manufacturing. The level of the back door is very high, and it is basically a work copied according to the original handwriting. Wang Rui picked up an inkstone and said, I have studied the inkstone relatively little, Grandpa Mo, you said that it is five fakes, I found that there is a fake in jade, porcelain, calligraphy and painting, I guess there should be one in each inkstone and miscellaneous. I carefully compared these inkstones, these two brick inkstones are simple and vicissitudes, and the ink is deep, they must be ancient inkstones. This inkstone is tough, dense, and has a beautiful texture, caressing it like a muscle. It is definitely a fine product in Sheyan, and it should be a Ming Dynasty Sheyan from the pulp, only this inkstone does not meet the characteristics of the three famous pits, and there is no mark of time. I think it should be a modern inkstone, as for which pit I don't know. "Hahaha, you guessed it by law, but you're right, this is indeed a modern inkstone, which was given to me by Ling Yun a few years ago." Finally, Wang Rui took out a snuff box and said: "I don't know anything about snuff bottles, but I used the method of identifying porcelain to identify them, and found that the inner painting of this snuff bottle is not natural enough, and it is a little too bright, and there is a thief light." "Hahaha, good, very good, I actually found all five pieces, although some of them are very rare and talented." "So Wang Rui has passed?" "Uh-huh, passed, go upstairs to eat." "Great, congratulations grandpa." "You should congratulate Wang Rui, congratulations on what I did." "Congratulations to Grandpa for finding a suitable successor." "Hahaha."

Several people returned to the dining table, Mo Lingyun was not here today, Mo Sitong's aunt's family and third uncle's family were not there, only Grandpa Mo and Grandma Mo, Mo Sitong's mother, second uncle and second aunt and Sitong, Siming, Wang Rui three juniors. Everyone chatted while eating. Mo Lao announced the news that Wang Rui had passed the test, and everyone congratulated Wang Rui with wine. Then Mo Lao said: "Xiao Rui, I want to tell you something, that's the case, you also know that people like us have a lot of opponents, so you have to be extra careful, after you saved Tongtong, we conducted some investigations on you, I hope you can understand." "Although Wang Rui is a little uncomfortable in his heart, it is still understandable, it is right for the Mo family to be careful." Grandpa Mo, I can understand it, I don't have anything to do with it, you don't have to care. "Xiao Rui, the situation we investigated is not much different from what you said that day, that is, do you still have some relatives in your hometown?" "Yes, there are a few, I still have a few aunts and uncles, but after my parents died, I didn't have much contact, maybe they were too busy." "Xiao Rui, you are still too kind, and you don't want to say that they are not. Ling Feng, you tell Tongtong and Xiao Ming about it. Mo Lingfeng told Wang Rui's aunts and uncles what they did. Mo Sitong grabbed Wang Rui's hand with a face full of distress and anger, distressed by Wang Rui's misery, and angry at what those relatives did. But her long-term cultivation made her want to say a few words about those people, but she couldn't say anything. Mo Siming jumped up directly, "These scumbags, I'll clean them up, hum." Mo Lao glared at him, and then he sat down stupidly.

Mo Lao said again: "Xiao Rui, I also found some information in the investigation that you may not know, let your second uncle tell me." Mo Lingfeng said: "Xiao Rui, there are three things you need to know, the first is that although your parents' car accident was an accident, there were other reasons, it was your second uncle who delivered the goods that day, but he was drunk that day, in order to deliver on time, your parents have been running on the road for seven days, and they didn't have time to rest and get out of the car immediately, and the car accident occurred after fatigue driving." The second thing is that after your parents died, they transferred all the company's assets, and after dividing them, they registered other companies, and the debts of the original company were counted on your head, and the businessmen who worked with your parents thanked your parents for their help and took pity on you, and they did not collect debts from you all these years. Then your uncle wants to leave your parents' house for his son's marriage and has already locked it in for decoration, and your things and the portraits of your parents have been thrown away. ”

"What?" Hearing these news, Wang Rui was difficult to accept for a while, it turned out that the death of my parents also had their reasons, and they also occupied my house and threw the portraits of my parents, Wang Rui's eyes were torn apart with anger. Mo Sitong hurriedly appeased Wang Rui, and after a while, Wang Rui got better. Mo Lao said: "Wang Rui, don't worry, I booked a ticket for you the day after tomorrow, go back and have a look, and solve the problem." "Okay, thank you Grandpa Mo, I lost my temper just now." "In addition, Tongtong, you accompany Wang Rui back and go to worship Xiao Rui's parents together." Mo Sitong was a little shy, but he really didn't worry about Wang Rui going back by himself, "Okay, grandpa, I'll accompany Xiaorui back." "Xiao Ming also followed, those people must have some power in the local area for so many years, Tongtong and Xiao Rui are not used to using power, this time the family will hand over the relationship in the black province to you, Xiao Ming, you go this time, it is to protect Wang Rui and support him, as long as it is not too much." "Grandpa, don't worry, see how I toss these scumbags." Seeing that Mo Lao helped him arrange so much, Wang Rui was very moved, and he felt a family affection that he hadn't had for a long time in the Mo family. I took a glass and toasted everyone, and I still drank a drink today.

After dinner, Mo Lao took Wang Rui to the study and asked Wang Rui: "You said that most of your antique knowledge came from books, what books have you read?" "The History of Chinese Ceramics, the Collection of Porcelain in the Past Dynasties, the History of the Development of Chinese Jade, the Collection of Ancient Jade, the Wood Carving Process, the Atlas of Ancient Coins, ......" "How many of these books have you mastered?" "I can memorize them all, but I'm still a little confused in some places." "Memorized? It seems that you have put in the effort, so what confusion do you have? "Grandpa Mo, how to distinguish between Hongzhi's glaze color and Zhengde's glaze color."

Hongzhi and Zhengde is a transitional period for the development of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, the development of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty has two peak periods, one is Chenghua Doucai, one is Jiawan Wucai, in the history of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, it is often said that there is a sentence called "Hongzhi inherits, Zhengde enlightens". The previous period of Hongzhi was Chenghua. The porcelain style of the Hongzhi period and the Chenghua period is roughly the same, which is typically manifested in the simplicity and elegance of the ornamentation, the handsomeness of the overall shape, and the warmth of the details of the glaze. In addition to the above characteristics similar to those of the Chenghua period, many new varieties with the characteristics of the era were innovated during the Hongzhi period, such as eggplant purple glaze, open tire flint red ornamentation, and lapis lazuli blue glaze. Among them, the most influential should be the yellow glaze, in the color and brightness have surpassed Chenghua, ceramic firing technology is even more perfect, can be called the typical representative of the Ming Dynasty yellow glaze, and to the Qing Dynasty a large number of yellow glaze prevalence, and Hongzhi yellow glaze has an inseparable relationship. The porcelain of the Zhengde period has a new look of Jiajing. Although Zhengde porcelain basically maintained the simple and elegant style of the Chenghua and Hongzhi periods, it was also transitioning to the glamorous and fiery style of the Jiajing period step by step. Among them, the two kinds of porcelain with white glaze and blue and white color have become the development trend, laying the foundation for the development of Jiajing and Wanli colorful varieties in the future. That is to say, the glaze color that distinguishes Hongzhi and Zhengde can be distinguished in this way, Hongzhi is close to the simplicity of Chenghua, and Zhengde is close to the showy of Jiajing. ”
