"Hey, Brother Liu, if you were cousins, you would still be able to make it in ancient times, but cousins, there is really nothing you can do." Fatty Dong said a little funny. "Zuo Zhuan?" "The Twenty-Three Years of Duke Xi" once put forward the argument that "men and women with the same surname will not be born together". People with the same surname should not marry. This is an important principle stipulated in the ancient marriage system. "Book of Rites" also says: "Don't take a wife with the same surname." Kong Yingda in the Tang Dynasty pointed out when he wrote annotations for "Zuo Zhuan": "Zhengyi said: Don't take a wife with the same surname according to etiquette. Take her to avoid violation, so she will not be able to have children. Therefore, even in ancient times, intermarriage between cousins ??was strictly prohibited, and only cousins ??were somewhat popular. "Go away!" Liu Sizhe laughed and scolded: "Even if we are cousins, you can try to get married now!" "Hey! What are you discussing? Are you talking about unhealthy topics?" Su Jinning saw Chu Chen and the others gathered around and whispered, so he frowned and asked. Fatty Dong chuckled and said: "How is this possible! We are all good young people in the new century, how can we discuss such unhealthy topics." "Come on, if you say that Brother Chu is a good young man, I still believe it, is it you? Say it." Who believes it?" Su Jinning said with a sneer. "Ning Ning, you really wronged me" Before Fatty Dong could finish his words, Su Jinning said, "If you want to prove it, then tell us what you just discussed." "This " Su Jinning's request made Fatty Dong very embarrassed. If this kind of family matter is known by gossip girls like them, it will probably not be long before this matter is no longer a secret, and the most important thing is that there are other things involved. Chu Yulan's dormitory classmates are here, so this kind of thing must not be said to them. At this time, a waiter happened to come in and ask if the food could be served, which just freed Fatty Dong from this topic. Seeing that Su Jinning still wanted to ask more questions, Chu Chen smiled and said: "Okay, you can ask your fat guy this question when you go back. Now let's eat first!" Su Jinning is not stupid. When Chu Chen said this, he immediately realized it. There might be something hidden, so I didn¡¯t say anything more. ? Next, everyone was drinking and drinking, and the scene was very lively. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Fatty Dong burped and said, "Brother Chu, my grandfather liked the set of silver coins last time very much. He asked me to say thank you to you!" "No, no! He I also like the things that Lao gave me, so we each get what we need." Chu Chen waved his hands and said. "I want it!" Fatty Dong said with a smile: "You don't know how much my grandpa likes that set of silver coins. Since he got that set of silver coins, my grandpa has become a lot more energetic." "Fat Dong, what you said is too much. Is that an exaggeration?" Tong Hangqi didn't believe what Fatty Dong said. Fatty Dong said: "Don't you know this? If a person gets a beloved thing, he must be in a very happy mood. Didn't you hear an advertisement? If you are in a good mood, you will have a good appetite. Eat it. It smells good, and your body feels great!¡± ¡°The advertisement seems to be talking about teeth, right?¡± ¡°It¡¯s the same thing anyway!¡± Fatty Dong waved his hand and said, ¡°Brother Chu, my grandfather also said that you don¡¯t like porcelain. Well, he also has treasures of ancient porcelain. You can exchange them with him for ancient coins. " "Okay! I will exchange them with him when I have the treasures of ancient coins." Although he has a few coins that are worth five thousand for one sword, these coins are not too precious, and the ancient ceramics used to exchange them for treasures are definitely not enough. "Brother Chu, you don't need ancient coins. My grandfather said that you can choose one of them and buy it with money." "Thank you very much, but I am in an economic crisis now, so I'd better wait. Let's talk about it later. " Chu Chen knew that the reason why Mr. Dong was so easy to talk to was because he felt that he had taken advantage of the last transaction, so he used this to compensate him. "No, Xiaochen, the piece of yellow jade that day was worth more than 20 million, why didn't you have any money?" Li Guodong said in surprise. "I really don't plan to sell that piece of yellow jade." Chu Chen replied. "Wait a minute!" Liu Sizhe said in astonishment: "Brother Chen, when did you sell a yellow jade worth more than 20 million yuan again?" "Just last Saturday, a friend of ours opened a stone betting shop. "Brother Chen, you are so embarrassed!" Liu Sizhe beat his chest and said, "Why don't you bring me with you for such a good thing?" Chu Chen said sheepishly, "I'm so sorry. I forgot about it at that time. Next time, next time we will?Let¡¯s go together again! " "Don't wait until next time, tomorrow is Saturday! "Liu Sizhe said quickly. "Well, let's wait for a while before going. The most important thing is that we took advantage of it last time. It's a bit embarrassing to go again this week! ¡± In fact, it was precisely because Chu Chen felt that Liu Zhiqing was likely to give them a discount, so he subconsciously did not intend to bring other friends there. My sister and the others knew Liu Zhiqing, so it was okay, but the others made him feel a little uncomfortable. Hearing this, Liu Sizhe didn't insist on it, but other than that, he was a little strange and asked: "Brother Chen, I remember you didn't get fifteen million from the fat man last time. , and sold a piece of jade to Uncle Yi. How could he have no money? " "Haha, it's actually nothing. I just spent 50 million yesterday to buy a pair of Chenghua chicken cups. " "What? Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup? " "50 million to buy a pair of cups? " Among those present, only Liu Sizhe knew the real value of the Chenghua Chicken Cup. Others felt that Chu Chen's 50 million to buy a pair of cups was too incredible. However, whether it was Liu Sizhe or others, they were all shocked by this. "Why are you all looking like this? "Chu Chen said dumbfounded. "Nonsense! Su Jinning was speechless and said, "Fifty million!" Just buy a pair of cups. Are those cups used by gods? " Before Chu Chen could explain, Liu Sizhe said strangely: "Fifty million is nothing. Xiao Ning, do you know that an authentic Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup was sold at Sotheby's in 1999? 29.17 million Hong Kong dollars. How much is a pair of cups worth? " "ah! Su Jinning's eyes widened and he said: "That must be nearly 60 million Hong Kong dollars. Wait, I remember that Hong Kong dollars are worth more than RMB!" " "Yes, based on the exchange rate at that time, it should be more than 62 million! Fatty Dong patted his forehead and said, "Brother Chu, doesn't that mean you made more than 12 million?" " "It can't be calculated like that. There are various fees for the auction. "Chu Chen shook his head and said. Liu Sizhe said: "It's not much different. Counting the appreciation in the past two years, it is conservatively estimated to be 62 million. If it goes to auction, it will be even more! " Chu Chen waved his hands and said: "No, one of them is a little bit worse. I conservatively estimate that the price of this pair of cups should be 55 million. " "Brother Chen, please stop saying that! "Liu Sizhe said with a smile: "You said you were conservative in your estimate. I think that if you intend to take action now, there will be a lot of people crying and clamoring for 60 million people. " Chu Chen spread his hands and said with a smile: "The key is that I don't know how to sell it! So this fifty million will kill me! " "At the same time, the little fat girl asked Chu Yulan in a low voice: "Yulan, what does your brother do? He can easily make tens of millions. I was scared when I heard it." " Chu Yulan smiled and said: "Didn't you hear it just now? My brother is in the antique business and also in the jade business. Hearing this, the little chubby girl said doubtfully: "I know jade is valuable, but why are antiques so valuable?" " "Antiques are also divided into two categories. Popular ones. Those with larger quantities are generally not worth a few dollars. Only some of the fine products are valuable. "Chu Yulan explained. "Then your brother can also appraise antiques? " "Of course, my brother has an appraiser's certificate. What, do you have anything to appraise? " "Yulan, look at my beeswax bracelet. "The little chubby girl took off a bunch of colorful bracelets from her hands, handed them to Chu Yulan, and said, "My dad brought this back when he went to France on a business trip last year. It is said to be made of noble beeswax. Some people say this thing is made of beeswax. It¡¯s fake. Some people say it¡¯s true. Can you please help me check it out? " "It should be no problem, let's go there together! " After saying that, Chu Yulan walked with the little fat girl to Chu Chen, and the other girls, feeling curious, also followed. "Brother, can you help the little fat girl look at this bracelet? ah? "Chu Yulan handed over the bracelet in her hand. Chu Chen nodded, but he did not take the bracelet. Instead, he said: "That's no problem, but let me tell you something first. In the antique industry, things When giving it to others, you must first put it on the table or the ground. Otherwise, if you miss it and the thing breaks, who does it belong to? There are even some people who use this as a tactic to deceive newcomers who don¡¯t know how to do it. So when you buy antiques in the future, you must remember this. " After hearing what Chu Chen said, everyone nodded suddenly. Chu Yulan also quickly put her bracelet on the table. Chu Chen put itHe took the chain in his hand, fiddled with it for a while, and asked the little fat girl: "You said it's the noble beeswax, right?" "Yes! Yes!" The little fat girl nodded. "First of all, let me tell you something. According to our country's standards, no matter which appraisal institution the aristocratic beeswax goes to, it will not get a certificate." "Ah! Why?" the little fat girl said in surprise. Chu Chen explained: "It's actually very simple. The aristocratic beeswax in the usual sense is actually synthesized by heating amber to 150 degrees Celsius to dissolve it into a liquid state and then adding pigments. Therefore, this kind of beeswax cannot pass the verification of Yimi. Because the surface will be emulsified"
