Although Xiao Zhou only tinkered with ancient jades, because of his father's relationship, he always knew the price of calligraphy and painting works. Uncle Wu, who had a very good relationship with his family, was able to offer a price of 40,000 yuan, which shows that his What kind of character. Not only Uncle Wu felt angry, but Chu Chen was also very angry when he saw the price he offered. At first, he felt a little guilty for missing out at this time, but now he doesn't care at all. When Uncle Wu heard such a price, he wanted to turn around and leave, but thinking that he was the son of an old friend and that his character was always like that, he patiently explained: "Xiao Zhou, the things are indeed authentic, but You also know that none of these three people are very famous. Among the three works, only the last one with open shoulders is the most valuable. However, 15,000 is already very high in the market. I don¡¯t need more for the other two. I said, the highest I can give is 10,000, a total of 25,000, what do you think?" However, Uncle Wu's serious speech obviously did not affect Xiao Zhou. He said with a grimace: "Uncle Wu, my family is here. You also know the situation, it¡¯s almost impossible to open the pot. Otherwise, I will give in and you can give me 33,000. Anyway, you have already paid 25,000, and this 8,000 is not much. What do you think? ? " Hearing this, Uncle Wu felt extremely disappointed. The price he could offer now was already a high price in the market. If it weren't for the sake of his old friend, he wouldn't be able to offer such a high price. In this way, Xiao Zhou actually wanted more, completely treating him as a scapegoat. Seeing this, Uncle Wu had nothing to say, so he turned around and left: "Forget it, Xiaochen, let's go back. There is nothing to stay here." Xiao Zhou didn't expect Uncle Wu to be so straightforward, and was immediately stunned. He was stunned, and Chu Chen, as for Chu Chen, if he hadn't made the discovery before, he would definitely not have stayed to stick to his buttocks, so he followed Uncle Wu for a few steps, then turned around and said expressionlessly: "Mr. Zhou, I am also an old customer of your father. Thanks to his usual care, I can offer up to 30,000 yuan for these three works. If you want to sell them, we will trade them immediately. If you still want a price, then we will There¡¯s nothing more to say.¡± Although Xiao Zhou was still a little reluctant, after thinking about it, he couldn¡¯t get the price if he sold it to someone else, so he had to nod and agree. It has to be said that Xiao Zhou's ideas and methods should be inherited from Lao Zhou, which is what everyone often calls "killing familiarity". The difference is that Lao Zhou still has the concept of friends in his heart, while Xiao Zhou has no longer recognized his relatives. "Mr. Zhou, please, we have to sign a sales and purchase agreement, so we don't want to accuse someone of stealing." At the end of the sentence, Chu Chen stabbed him. This man's actions really made him feel too disgusted. . However, this obviously had no effect on Xiao Zhou, so he still completed the transaction with a smile. Uncle Wu was probably really angry. Even if Chu Chen said he wanted to buy the three works, he didn't stay. When Chu Chen completed the transaction and walked out of Lao Zhou's house, Uncle Wu said angrily to him at the door: " Xiaochen, why are you spending this unjust money? This kind of person shouldn't do whatever he wants. Even if you buy the thing at a high price, will he still be grateful to you? " Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly comforted him? : "Uncle Wu, please calm down. As you said, what's there to be angry about with this kind of person? Besides, in your heart, do you think I would be so stupid to let this kind of person succeed?" "Is there something else in this painting? Is there some mystery?" Uncle Wu frowned and said thoughtfully after hearing what he said. Chu Chen smiled mysteriously: "It's not clear right now. Let's go back first and then I'll tell you." "Well, I'll go back later. If you can't explain why, don't blame me for being rude. " The two of them returned to Uncle Wu's house in a hurry. Aunt Wu looked at them holding six scrolls (three of which were the items they had taken before) and asked strangely: "Hey, are you two planning to change careers? "Why did you bring back so many paintings and calligraphy works?" Chu Chen said with a smile: "Isn't this a successful bid for the Olympics? In order to respond to the country's call and strive to contribute to the construction of our spiritual civilization, I am going to engage in calligraphy and painting. Art also provides some spiritual food to the general public. "Hey, we, Xiaochen, have a high level of thinking and want to solve problems for the country." Aunt Wu said with a smile and gave him a thumbs up. Uncle Wu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Mom, don't listen to his nonsense. With his appearance, does he have such lofty thoughts?" "Old Wu, you are just jealous. Look at our little one. Chen is so handsome, has a good temper, and is filial. How come he doesn¡¯t have lofty thoughts? Let me tell you, Xiao Chen is such a good person.??I can't find it anywhere at the moment, but it's a pity that Xiaoke is still abroad, otherwise I would have asked her to chase you. " "Well, this makes sense. "Uncle Wu heard the last word and smiled and nodded in agreement. When Chu Chen saw the two of them, he almost sweated profusely. He quickly changed the subject and said, "Uncle Wu, look, what do you think of this painting? " "Well, then take out the painting in question and tell me what the mystery is inside. "When Uncle Wu and his wife saw Chu Chen's expressions, they both smiled knowingly and didn't say anything more on this topic. Aunt Wu went to make dinner. Chu Chen took out the picture of dianthus with splayed shoulders. Lian opened it and said, "I think the other two pictures are fine. But this picture, I think there is another mystery. Uncle Wu, please feel this paper. Is it a bit thick?" "Uncle Wu frowned and touched the paper. He really couldn't feel anything. After stroking it again, it seemed that there was a little bit, but it was really not obvious. So he frowned and said: "Do you think this is a painting? Medium painting? Although the paper feels a little thick to the touch, the thickness is really not obvious, unless the person covering it up is an expert. But if you judge based on this little bit of paper thickness, are you taking it for granted? Chu Chen smiled and explained: "Of course this is impossible. This is just a difference I felt after I discovered a clue. Uncle Wu, look at this place with water." "Uncle Wu looked over where he pointed. When he first saw it, there seemed to be no difference. When he took a closer look, he felt that there was a hint of ink. Then he looked carefully and found that the ink should come from the inside of the paper. This discovery He immediately became excited. If they all saw it correctly, there was probably another work hidden in this painting, and it was actually covered up by such an authentic work. The work must be even more precious. Uncle Wu said excitedly: "Okay, Xiaochen, you really have poor eyesight. You can see it with just this little color!" " He looked at Chu Chen and wanted to be humble again. He waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay, don't be humble. The key now is to uncover the painting. But your Uncle Wu really doesn't have the ability. It seems that tomorrow I have to trouble Mr. Liu. At that time, Mr. Liu had studied with the masters of Beijing School of Decoration for a long time, and his framing skills were also at the master level. " Hearing this, Chu Chen said hesitantly: "Uncle Wu, we just went to Mr. Liu's place today, and we will go again tomorrow. Will Mr. Liu be unhappy? " After hearing this, Uncle Wu said with a bit of laughter and tears: "Do you think Mr. Liu is so narrow-minded? Besides, we don¡¯t go there without chatting. For things like this, Mr. Liu would like you to go to him every day? " "I also want to go to Liu Lao's place every day, but I won't be blessed with things like today, so how can I encounter them every day? "Chu Chen laughed and said. "What's wrong, you two are so happy? "Aunt Wu walked out of the kitchen. Seeing their happy faces, she became curious. After listening to Uncle Wu's simple explanation, Aunt Wu said happily: "Xiao Chen is going to make a lot of money again. Which girl will marry him in the future? Here you go, you won¡¯t have to worry about food and clothing. Hey, if this were my Xiaoke, then she would be lucky! " When Chu Chen heard her say this, he felt a little embarrassed again. He thought to himself, we are only twenty-one, are you so anxious? " Fortunately, at this time, Grandma Wu came out to save the situation: "Okay, everyone Stop teasing Xiaochen and get ready for dinner. ¡± *************************** The next day, Chu Chen got up early and practiced his boxing skills several times. Yesterday After not practicing for a day, his bones felt a little itchy. This was the first time he had practiced so vigorously since the power upgrade. At the same time, he also felt that under the influence of the power, the progress of his boxing practice had increased. It is becoming more and more obvious, and he can feel the progress of his boxing skills almost every day. According to this, it may not take a year to break through to the Great Zhoutian. But Chu Chen doesn't care too much about this. Because when he first learned boxing, he learned it with the idea of ??strengthening his body, and he has not changed his mind now. Moreover, the artistic conception of Tai Chi emphasizes nature, and the most important thing is to avoid deliberateness if you want to break through. Even though he had special powers, he still had the idea of ??letting nature take its course and not wanting to deliberately change anything. Now that he knew Mr. Liu's habits, Chu Chen no longer waited for Uncle Wu to call and urge him. After finishing everything, he went to Uncle Wu's house just after seven o'clock. On the way, Chu Chen unexpectedly received a call from Zhou Wenping. There was nothing important on the phone, but he just asked him if there was anything after tomorrow. If there is no important matter, he is ready to make a decision.A train ticket to Xijing on the same day. Chu Chen didn't have anything important to do, so he readily agreed. He also got news from Zhou Wenping that not only would Li Guodong bring his girlfriend with him, but his girlfriend would also bring her classmates with her. We went together and heard that his girlfriend's classmate was very beautiful, so Zhou Wenping smiled and told him to seize the opportunity.
