    Chu Chen nodded repeatedly after listening to the master's words. Not only was this painting a masterpiece, but with the reputation of the author and the influence of the mural, it would definitely cause a sensation if word spread.  Oil painting has always been a dominant form of visual cultural expression in the minds of foreigners. It can be said that the status of oil paintings in the minds of foreigners is even greater than that of antiques in the minds of Chinese people. If foreign collectors know that there is such a thing  Paintings, Chu Chen could hardly imagine how crazy they would be.  "Achen, what are you going to do with this work?" Mr. Liu asked.  "Of course I will keep it in my collection. I will not resell such a work for the time being." Chu Chen said matter-of-factly.  "In other words, you may change hands in the future?" Mr. Liu heard the implication of Chu Chen's words.  "It's possible. If someone can get an antique of equal value, then I might exchange it. Of course, the premise is that the person who exchanges must be a foreigner." Hearing what Chu Chen said, Mr. Liu immediately understood what he meant.  He smiled and said: "Well, that's what we should do! And it must be the best product of our country!" At this point, Mr. Liu said hesitantly: "Achen, there is something I want to discuss with you." "Master, you are welcome.  Just say it!" "That's right. The Forbidden City is planning to hold a calligraphy and painting exhibition next month, but it lacks world-class oil paintings. Do you think you can lend this work to the exhibition?" Chu Chen has no plans to put this work on display.  Keep it secret, otherwise how could foreigners be taken advantage of?  Now that the exhibition can increase the popularity of this work, it can be said that it suits his heart, so he agreed without hesitation.  It didn¡¯t take long for this painting to be taken off.  Some places still require careful handling and protection, and they also need to be loaned out for exhibition.  So I stayed here for now.  After admiring the paintings, the three of them returned to the living room.  When Mr. Liu saw the two brocade boxes brought by Chu Chen, he asked curiously: "Achen, what are you putting in these two boxes?" Chu Chen chuckled and said, "These two are mine too.  This is a harvest from England, you can open it and take a look. "When Chu Chen asked someone to help transport the things back to China, the official kiln pen washer and self-warming cup were still in the bank in Oxford, and the things were not there.  It was big, so Chu Chen took it back with him.  Mr. Liu first opened the box containing the pen washer. When he saw the pen washer quietly wading in the box, he was stunned and couldn't believe his eyes.  After a while, he suddenly raised his head, pointed at the brush washer with a surprised look on his face and said: "Achen, this is" Chu Chen nodded and said, "Yes, I am sure that this is the brush washer fired by the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty.  " Liu Qinshu originally thought her father's behavior was a bit strange, but when she heard what Chu Chen said, she also had a dull look on her face.  Her first reaction was that she didn¡¯t believe it, because this was an official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty!  So far, no complete Northern Song Dynasty official kiln has been found!  How could this appear so complete and in such new condition?  After receiving Chu Chen¡¯s affirmative reply, Liu Lao suppressed his extremely excited emotions.  Putting on gloves, he carefully took the pen washer into his hand, took out a magnifying glass and observed it carefully.  "Good! What a Northern Song Dynasty official kiln!" After a long time, Mr. Liu put the brush wash back to its original position.  After taking a long breath, he immediately shouted loudly.  "Dad, is this really an official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty?" Liu Qinshu still couldn't believe it.  "Can Achen and I still lie to you?" Mr. Liu laughed.  Liu Qinshu waved his hand and said: "No. I just think that the sudden appearance of such complete and new Northern Song Dynasty official porcelain is too unbelievable." "This brush wash is actually not complete either." Mr. Liu looked distressed.  Said: "There is a gap as big as a grain of rice at the edge of its mouth. But it is precisely because of this gap that you can clearly see the texture of the fetus inside, which further proves that this is indeed a brush washer from the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty!"  Liu Qinshu opened her mouth in surprise, and after asking Chu Chen, she quickly began to observe impatiently.  "Tell me, what good things are in here?" Mr. Liu turned his attention to another box.  Chu Chen said with a smile: "It contains a self-warming cup!" "Self-warming cup!!!" When Liu Qinshu heard Chu Chen's answer, she almost lost her grip on the pen in her hand. Mr. Liu was also shocked.  It¡¯s good to know what to say!  ¡­¡­ ¡­¡­¡­¡­ The next day, Chu Chen went to his store for a walk, looked at the progress of the decoration, dealt with some financial matters, and thenI walked to the entrance of Yuebao Pavilion casually, but I happened to meet Zhu Dafu who was about to go out.  After saying hello, Chu Chen smiled and asked: "Uncle Fu, where are you going?" Zhu Dafu was very happy to see Chu Chen, and said with a smile: "You came just in time, there is a new family today.  The shop is open, let¡¯s go and join in the fun.¡± After that, he took the lead and walked aside.  Chu Chen asked strangely as he walked: "New shop? Where is it? Why haven't I heard about it?" Zhu Dafu sighed and said, "Hey, Niu Dabao's shop was given to someone else." Niu Dabao Chu  Chen also knew a thin, middle-aged man in his forties who had been running a business on the antique street for five or six years, and the shop's usual business was pretty good.  Therefore, after Chu Chen heard this, he immediately asked with a surprised look on his face: "Ah! Why doesn't Niu Dabao do it? He was doing well before I went abroad, right? Why did the shop change in just half a month?"  Zhu Dafu shook his head and said: "It's not just greed for money and poor eye skills!" It turns out that Niu Dabao had an eye surgery some time ago and spent more than 200,000 to buy a high imitation Qianlong period  Although two hundred thousand yuan of pastel vase was not a big deal to him, it still made him feel distressed to lose it like this.  It happened to be the day that Chu Chen went abroad. A friend introduced a customer to Niu Dabao who wanted to buy a decent vase.  Niu Dabao heard from his friends that this man was quite rich, so he fell in love with it. However, he was also an old man, so he did not directly recommend it. Instead, he placed the fake among several vases, and the customer did as he wished.  I chose the fake one.  Of course, among those vases, only the fake one looks the best. It would be strange for that person not to choose this one.  But Niu Dabao didn't know that the man bought the vase to give as a gift, and it was also for his official career. Although the vase was imitated to a high level, the recipient of the gift had some friendship with Guan Guokang, and Guan Guokang was impressed by the vase when he saw it.  Wearing help.  "That man brought people here and caused a lot of trouble. Niu Dabao finally had to transfer the shop out of the house to deal with the loss." After hearing Zhu Dafu's explanation, Chu Chen asked with some confusion: "Since that man bought antiques with  If you are here to see someone off, why don¡¯t you bring a palm-eye master?¡± Zhu Dafu spread his hands and said, ¡°Although that person didn¡¯t bring a palm-eye master, he had found Niu Dabao¡¯s friends before, and Niu Dabao¡¯s friends were also with him.  Niu Dabao said that he wanted to do something good for that person. Who knew that Niu Dabao would be obsessed with money, and now his friend is having a meal? " "But why didn't Niu Dabao's friend come with him?  It wouldn't be like this, right? " "Maybe it was Niu Dabao's fate. His friend's child suddenly caught a cold and had a fever, so he had to rush back. Anyway, if Niu Dabao hadn't committed suicide, he wouldn't have.  There will be the current result." When Chu Chen heard that this was the case, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Niu Dabao really did it himself!  "Uncle Fu, who is taking over the store now?" Zhu Dafu replied: "It was an antique enthusiast from Yan Province who now came to the capital to develop." "Uncle Fu, you should know him, right?" "  We have been in contact for a while, and the relationship is not bad" The two of them chatted and laughed when they came to the store in question. Chu Chen couldn't help but feel a sigh in his heart when he saw the unfamiliar store name, the unfamiliar clerk and the unfamiliar store owner.  .  "Hey, shopkeeper Zhu Dafu is here. The shop is really flourishing! Please come in! Please come in!" The middle-aged man who looked like a shopkeeper in the store hurriedly walked out of the store when he saw Zhu Dafu coming.  The name of the store owner is Ning Shizhen. I heard that his parents wanted him to become a famous doctor like Li Shizhen when he grew up. Of course, parents usually choose names with one or more meanings, but there are very few names that really sound like that.  , and Ning Shizhen also did not become a famous doctor like his parents thought.  The two parties exchanged pleasantries, and Zhu Dafu introduced Chu Chen and Ning Shizhen. When Ning Shizhen heard that Chu Chen was Mr. Liu's close disciple, she was pleasantly surprised, and then she quickly took them to the reception room inside.  .  There were already three people in the reception room drinking tea and chatting. Two of them were unknown to Chu Chen, and one of them was the antique collector Wang Xiangong whom he had met before.  Wang Xiangong was very happy to see Zhu Dafu and Chu Chen walking in, and they exchanged pleasantries again.  When the clerk made a cup of tea for the two of them, Wang Xiangong said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, I heard that you won the "Chu Mountain Autumn Evening Picture". If you have a chance, can you let me see it?" Zhu Dafu said in great surprise when he heard this.  : "I said Xiaochen, when did you get "Chushan Autumn Evening Picture"? Why haven't I heard of it?" Chu Chen?He scratched his head and said, "It happened last month." "Okay, you kid, you have such a masterpiece, but you don't even let me appreciate it. Isn't it really boring?" Zhu Dafu said  Beard said with a glare.  Chu Chen said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "I've been busy for a month. When I find some free time, I'll bring the painting to you and let you take a good look at it. Let's go back to the main office!" "That's pretty much it!" Zhu Dafu  Said with joy.  "Lao Zhu, you can't eat alone, you must take me with you when the time comes!" Wang Xiangong said anxiously from the side.  Zhu Dafu smiled and shook his head: "This is not something I can decide. You have to get Xiaochen's consent first." (To be continued)
