    The stall owner glanced at the hand stove in Chu Chen's hand and said with a smile: "Sir, you are not cheating, are you? You just said that the workmanship should be as meticulous as these six copper stoves, and you did not say that the sizes should be the same. Look, there are ten in total.  The four copper stoves are cheaper for you, totaling 11,000 pounds. I also gave you the cloth bag. That¡¯s interesting!¡± Chu Chen opened his mouth, took out the money from the bag angrily, and threw it to  In front of the stall owner, he directly put the copper stove on the stall into the cloth bag, which seemed to be ruthless, but actually he was careful.  After counting the banknotes in his hand, the stall owner said with a little satisfaction: "Just right, welcome to visit next time!" Chu Chen snorted coldly, and pulled Wu Ke straight away from the market.  After leaving the market, Wu Ke asked curiously: "Achen, why are you leaving so fast? Could it be that these are all genuine products?" Chu Chen could no longer hold back the joy in his heart and laughed.  : "They are indeed genuine, and the six copper furnaces at the beginning are all real Xuande furnaces!" "No! When will Xuande furnaces be available for wholesale? And I feel that these copper furnaces are very  There are ancient charms, why would that person think they are all fakes?" Wu Ke asked dumbfounded.  "In fact, antique appraisal is like this. If you think something is a fake, the more you look at it, the more you will feel that something is wrong. Even if the thing has ancient charm, you will subconsciously feel that these features are made by the forger. And the most important thing, the stall  The owner should not be proficient in this, so it¡¯s not surprising that he mistook the real one for the fake one.¡± After Chu Chen explained, he said with joy, ¡°You don¡¯t know, one of the Xuande furnaces is unique and top-notch.  It can be said to be a national treasure-level cultural relic, so lucky this time!" Wu Ke was already shocked to the point of numbness.  Thinking of the proud smile of the stall owner just now, she smiled and said: "Achen, I don't think you should be an actor. Our country has lost an international superstar, and I don't know if that person knows the true value of these things."  You won¡¯t vomit blood and die!¡± Chu Chen said seriously: ¡°I can¡¯t be an actor, otherwise thousands of girls will cry and say if they don¡¯t marry me, then my sin will be great!¡± Wu Ke was teased!  He laughed loudly and said: "Don't be so slutty!" After putting the copper stove in the hotel room, seeing that it was already dinner time, the two of them went to have a delicious meal first, and then went to the market.  ¡°Maybe all my luck in the morning has been used up.  After shopping for two hours, I only bought a few knick-knacks, not even the small ones, let alone the big ones.  Seeing that the vendors were closing their stalls one after another, the two decided to end their trip to the Notting Hill Market and prepare to have some fun in Notting Hill.  The most distinctive thing about Notting Hill is that it is full of exotic customs.  There is an annual carnival here, attracting at least 2 million people to participate in the activities every year.  But Chu Chen came at the wrong time, because the carnival is held on the last weekend of August every year and lasts for two days.  In addition to the carnival, with the filming and release of a film called "Notting Hill", countless love elements have also been added here.  So after the two of them had some fun, they went to watch this famous movie together.  ??In fact, the content of the film "Notting Hill".  There is some imagination about the relationship between Chu Chen and Wu Ke, but it was changed and turned into a story about a princess falling in love with a commoner, and then the two finally came together after a series of acquaintances and hardships.  In the movie, a series of plots such as hot coffee, ex-boyfriends, two women they loved, an unsustainable bookstore, many scandals, unequal careers, etc., all resonated with the two of them.  When I saw the park at the end of the movie, on a bench, the pregnant heroine rested her head on the thigh of the hero who was reading a book, quietly watching the children playing with the plot.  Wu Ke couldn't help but said: "Achen, I really want to give birth to a few children for you now. Then our family will live a carefree life like in the movie!" Chu Chen gently stroked her hair.  , kissed her gently on the forehead and said, "That day will come soon." "Yeah! I just want it now!" Wu Ke said coquettishly.  Chu Chen smiled and said: "Silly girl, we can indeed live such a life now. But you don't want our children to get on the bus first and pay for the tickets later, right? Of course, although we can't make humans, we can still do sports!"  Wu Ke's pretty face turned red when Chu Chen said it, and he said shyly: "You are so bad!" For two consecutive days, the two of them did not go to the market anymore, but just visited various attractions in London.  Although antiques are Chu Chen's passion, they are not everything in life. Sometimes, you have to enjoy other fun things in life.    On Tuesday morning, the two came to the famous National Gallery in London, an elegant art palace in London that exudes a rich atmosphere.  It can be called an art treasure trove that brings together classic masterpieces of the Renaissance, including works by Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, C¨¦zanne and others.  Although the styles of foreign paintings and Chinese paintings are different, the expression of artistic conception is the same, especially the works of world-famous painters, who vividly display the meaning they want to express in the entire painting, making Chu  Chen watched with relish.  By the time the two of them had admired all the paintings in the gallery, it was almost noon.  After lunch, the weather was unfavorable and it began to rain lightly. In addition, Chu Chen felt that there was something unfinished in the morning, so the two decided to go shopping in a private gallery. If there were any good works, they could also buy them.  I found two galleries. Although they also had paintings by famous artists, either Chu Chen didn't like them or the prices were too expensive. Although they could be bought as long-term investments, Chu Chen wanted to invest rather than buy these foreign famous paintings.  paintings are not as cost-effective as buying domestic antiques.  After asking passers-by, the two came to a gallery.  The size of this gallery is medium, but the paintings inside are dazzling, including domestic ink landscape paintings. In addition to most of them being works by domestic modern and contemporary painters, there are also some paintings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which is amazing.  Chu Chen became interested.  The paintings from the Ming and Qing dynasties were basically not masterpieces by famous artists, and their quality was very average. They were not much better than the modern painters on display. However, one of them, Xiang Shengmo's "Green Shade Stream Pavilion", impressed Chu Chen.  Very complimentary.  Among the painters of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties recorded in the history of Chinese painting, many of them preferred a carefree style of painting, but there were only a few painters who were close to reality and elegant. Xiang Shengmo was a unique painter in the late Ming Dynasty.  , a landscape painter with his own look.  Xiang Shengmo not only painted landscapes, figures, flowers and birds that were extraordinary and unique, but he was also very knowledgeable and good at calligraphy and poetry.  His landscape painting has no specific or direct inheritance from his master, but he has a broad understanding of the ancients, learned from nature, and likes to take materials from life. His paintings can be said to be close to reality, accurate in shape, and serious, and are highly praised by Dong Qichang and others.  This "Green Shade Pavilion" reflects Xiang Shengmo's painting style. The objects painted are close to reality, the shape is accurate, the brushwork is careful and serious, which is contrary to the rough and rough painting style at that time, which pursued the "easy brushwork" style.  , but also has a beautiful artistic conception, elegant charm and high character.  The artistic conception in the painting is enchantingly depicted, the environment layout is very appropriate, and it is full of poetry. In addition, the poems mentioned in the painting are appropriate, making it easy for readers to integrate into the artistic conception of the painting. It can be said that this painting is a masterpiece that will last forever.  painting.  It was rare to encounter a fine painting by Xiang Shengmo, and Chu Chen certainly didn't want to miss it. Looking at the price tag, it cost 48,000 pounds. The size of this painting was eight square feet. In terms of the current market conditions, this  The price seemed a bit expensive, so he asked the clerk on the side: "I wonder if this painting can be made cheaper?" "Sir, the most we can offer on this painting is 95% off!" the clerk replied politely.  Chu Chen thought for a while and said: "If it costs 40,000 pounds, I will buy it." The clerk pondered for a while and said, "Sir, please wait a moment, I will go and ask for instructions." After a while,  The clerk came over and said that the boss agreed to his price, so Chu Chen asked him to wrap the painting.  With the exception of "Green Shade Pavilion", there were no other Chinese paintings that Chu Chen liked, so he began to browse the oil paintings in the gallery.  The oil paintings at the beginning were all made by unknown painters, and their quality was average, but the closer to the conspicuous position of the gallery, the better.  "Hey, this seems to be Waterhouse's "Lady Charlotte," right?" Wu Ke asked with a slight sigh.  Chu Chen turned around and saw that it was indeed Waterhouse's famous "Lady Charlotte", but judging from the degree of completion of the painting, it should be a sketch.  Among the dark green mountains, a small boat was docked quietly on the twilight lake. The Charlotte woman with reddish-brown hair and white clothes was sitting on it. She was about to loosen the cable and then lay down quietly.  Down.  The expression on the face of the Charlotte woman is sad and solemn. The broken water plants beside the boat, the extinguished candles and the cross on the bow of the boat indicate the impending death.  Because Chu Chen had just bought a work, there was a clerk standing not far from them. When he heard Wu Ke's question, the clerk stepped forward and introduced: "Yes, this is a work."?The sketch of "Lady of Charlotte" has been authenticated by many master appraisers. It is indeed an authentic work of Waterhouse, and an appraisal certificate has been issued.  " "You see, although this painting is just a sketch, the artistic conception in it is not inferior.  Ms. Charlotte in the painting combines sentimentality, mystery, loneliness, alienation, and elegance, which not only matches Victoria's repressed emotions, but also has an image of indescribable emptiness and desolation"
