    It was okay at first, but as Zheng said, if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts, and eventually you got into trouble with a very powerful person.  Not only did it take a year, but it also cost a lot of money before it was finally settled. At that time, this incident had a great impact on the antique industry.  After Qian Changxing came out, he disappeared. I heard that he went to the south. I don¡¯t know when he came back and became Zhao Qirui¡¯s appraiser.  Zhao Xueyi complained a little: "It's true, Old Dong, you know Qian Changxing's character, how can you still protect him?" "Hey!" Zhu Dafu sighed and said, "I know this, and Old Dong didn't do this either.  The solution is that the two families have been friends for a long time, and Qian Changxing's father saved Lao Dong's life during the turmoil. Do you think Lao Dong can be so embarrassed as to ignore him? "Everyone has his own difficulties!"  There was silence in the carriage for a while.  After a while, two cars arrived at the door of a house, one behind the other.  After everyone got off the bus, they did not look around first, but moved their bodies. After sitting in the car for more than five hours, the whole body was a little stiff. Fortunately, the two old people were in good health, otherwise the bodies of people in their sixties or seventies would still be weak.  It¡¯s really too much to bear.  There were three people on Zhao Qirui's side, and the driver acted as his bodyguard. When Chu Chen saw the driver's energy, he knew he must be a good player. Although he had never seen the legendary Zhongnanhai bodyguard, the driver should not be much different.  , it can also be seen from this that Zhao Qirui's background is not simple.  Seeing Zhao Qirui and others getting out of the car, Chu Chen and the others went up to greet him. During this period, Chu Chen looked at him carefully again.  Zhao Qirui looks to be forty-one or twelve years old, with a burly build, thick eyebrows and big eyes. His whole person exudes a sophisticated aura. He is not at all like a billionaire, and he looks like a decent person.  Very kind.  Zhao Qirui and Uncle Wu are also old acquaintances. They shook hands and greeted each other warmly when they met. However, when it was Chu Chen's turn, he felt Zhao Qirui was slightly startled, and then Zhao Qirui asked Uncle Wu and others with a smile.  "Who is this young man? He looks very energetic. I have never seen him before." Chu Chen is 1.83 meters tall. He also has thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a straight nose. He has been practicing boxing all year round.  , there is no trace of fat on his body, which gives people a sense of majesty. In addition, he often smiles and looks like a sunny young man at first glance, so many people have a very good first impression of him.  Uncle Wu quickly replied: "Mr. Zhao, this is my nephew. He learned some knowledge about porcelain from me. Come here today to learn more. I will ask Mr. Zhao to take care of me in the future." Chu Chen quickly saluted.  "Hello, Mr. Zhao, my name is Chu Chen. Please take care of me in the future, Mr. Zhao." Zhao Qirui's eyes lit up after hearing this, and then dimmed. Then he smiled and patted Chu Chen on the shoulder and said, "Okay,  The young man is quite nice. As long as it's something I can do, I'll definitely help." Everyone smiled knowingly. Chu Chen also smiled and thanked Zhao Qirui, but he didn't care in his heart. He thought Zhao Qirui was just talking.  Everyone was enjoying themselves for a while, but there was also a bit of disharmony in the scene. Qian Changxing, whom I just mentioned, has been standing reservedly beside Zhao Qirui from the beginning to now, looking at Uncle Wu and others with a hint of resentment in his eyes.  , never said hello to them from beginning to end.  Qian Changxing was already quite short, tall and had a goatee. Chu Chen originally had a bad sense of perception, and his evaluation of him at this time was 10% lower than when he first heard about it.  , even if Qian Changxing doesn't like to see him and others in his heart, it's better to just say hello and make a show of it.  Now Zhao Qirui is talking and laughing with Uncle Wu and others, but you are standing still. Are you higher than Zhao Qirui? It¡¯s strange that Zhao Qirui doesn¡¯t have any opinion. And this is also the case. Chu Chen clearly feels that Zhao Qirui  There was a hint of dissatisfaction and alienation towards Qian Changxing.  After that, everyone walked towards that house. At this time, Chu Chen began to look around.  This family's house is in the style of a typical Shanxi merchant compound. Although it is not as large as those particularly large courtyards with tens of thousands of square meters, it still has more than a thousand square meters. The entire courtyard wall looks very tall, like a castle.  When you go up there, you will know that it must be extremely defensive.  Zhao Xueyi stepped forward and knocked on the door of the house. After a while, an old man opened the door. The old man looked like he was seventy or eighty years old, but he was dressed energetically. After walking out of the door, he bowed to everyone.  He cupped his hands and said, "I felt like you were almost here just now. Please come in." After saying that, he made a gesture of invitation.  After walking into the courtyard, Chu Chen kept looking around. The architecture adheres to the characteristics of the Shanxi merchant compound. The main houses have single-slope roofs. The courtyard is a rectangle with narrow east-west and long north-south. The layout of the entire courtyard is like  The famous Qiao Family Courtyard?Easy version.  The old man¡¯s surname is Li. I heard from Zhao Xueyi that he is also a collector. He has known Zhao Xueyi for many years. This time, he was also invited by Uncle Li, so he made this trip.  Uncle Li invited everyone to sit down in the living room, and carried tea for everyone, and then said: "This is your first time here. Let me tell you first. Brother Zhao also knows my situation. He has played with antiques for most of his life.  "It's a pity that my son and daughter are not interested in antiques, and they have all immigrated abroad." "I am older now. After I die, they will sell all these antiques sooner or later. In this case, I think."  I thought it would be better to pass it on to friends in the antique industry, so as not to be wasted by my children.¡± Zhao Xueyi nodded and said, ¡°Mr. Li, I have told my friends about your situation. Time is precious, so let¡¯s go take a look at the objects first.  "Uncle Li chuckled, and without saying much, he led them to a storage room. Chu Chen walked in and saw that the room was not as full of antiques as he had just imagined.  Seeing everyone's confused looks, Uncle Li said: "Haha, I'm sorry everyone, several local collectors knew that my items were about to change hands and have already come over." "Hey!" Zhao Xueyi said angrily: "Li  Old man, you are being a little unreasonable. We have worked so hard to come from the capital, why should we pick up what others left behind?" Uncle Li waved his hand with a smile and said, "Brother Zhao, please don't be angry.  I¡¯ll keep all the good stuff for you, and you¡¯ll each have something to gain from keeping it.¡± After saying that, he led everyone to a square table, pointed to the table and the two armchairs next to it, and said, ¡°You guys take a look first.  These three pieces, wait until I bring out some more treasures." After Uncle Li left, everyone immediately began to look at the table and chairs.  Let¡¯s talk about this table first. This table is about 1.6 meters wide, about 50 centimeters deep, and almost 80 centimeters high. At first glance, the wood texture on the table is clear, like flowing clouds and flowing water. It is very beautiful and can be clearly seen.  You can see the naturally formed "grimace" lines, these are the basic characteristics of HaiN Huanghuali.  ?Looking at the heavy coating on the surface of the table, you can tell that this huanghuali table must be quite old.  Zhu Dafu took out a handkerchief and wiped the table, took out a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully. After a while, he said to everyone: "Yes, this should be a HaiN huanghuali table. Judging from its patina and texture,  The workmanship should be from the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, and it is very collectible. " Everyone should have no doubts, and they all nodded in agreement. Only Qian Changxing stood aside with an expressionless expression, which made Chu Chen feel very uncomfortable.  , and then simply stopped seeing him, just out of sight.  After that, we looked at the chairs. At a glance, we can see that both chairs are five-screen armchairs made of rosewood. ?? Red sandalwood furniture is a kind of classical fine furniture made of red sandalwood as raw material and combining art and personality.  Rosewood furniture has always had a relatively high status in China. In the Ming and Qing dynasties, only emperors could use it.  Rosewood is an extremely valuable wood. Because of its slow growth, it takes hundreds of years to become a useful material. It is extremely difficult to obtain large quantities of mature materials. The wood is hard and dense, and is suitable for carving various exquisite patterns.  Utensils made of red sandalwood are waxed and polished without the need for paint, and the surface will show a satin-like luster.  The texture of rosewood is slender and floating, with endless changes, especially its deep tone, which makes it appear stable, elegant and beautiful. Therefore, it is regarded as the best among woods. Nine out of ten sandalwoods are empty. The diameter of the largest rosewood is only about 20 centimeters, and it has "  An inch of red sandalwood is an inch of gold."  ¡°Rosewood, only the royal family has the power to purchase it from Nanyang.  Countries paid tribute and paid tribute to the emperor, but the people simply could not get it.  Later, red sandalwood also became available locally, but it was also used by local princes and nobles.  Therefore, an old red sandalwood furniture with exquisite workmanship is very rare, but now there are two exquisite red sandalwood five-screen armchairs displayed in front of you, which can't help but cheer up your spirits.  These two rosewood five-panel armchairs are almost the same. The backrest and armrests are made of whole boards into thick single boards, forming a five-panel style.  The armrests have graceful curves, and the headrest adopts a book-like style with a large backrest.  The backrest board is embossed with the pattern "Fu Qing You Yu" in high relief on both sides, and the armrests are also embossed with the deformed dragon pattern in high relief on both sides.  The seat panel is flat-packed, the materials used are not sparing, and the workmanship is exquisite. Judging from its characteristics such as patina and paste workmanship, it should be Guangzhou furniture in the Qianlong period.  "Guangzuo" refers to the furniture mainly produced in the GD area. Its characteristic is that it does not skimp on the materials used and does not compromise.  Guangzhou Furniture pays attention to the consistency of wood properties and never mixes other types of wood. Craftsmen select the best wood for production.  In order to express the beautiful texture, the furniture is not decorated with paint, and the wood is completely exposed.  During the Qing Dynasty, all the furniture in the palace wereIt is made by GD's old masters, and until now, only the skills of GD's old masters are the most traditional and authentic craftsmanship.  Judging from their appearance, these two five-panel armchairs are undoubtedly the best of Guangzhou's works. They are very representative and rare.
