    Chu Chen took out the two bronze mirrors he had just spotted, and selected two more that looked good in quality. Then he asked the stall owner, "Boss, what are these bronze mirrors for sale?"  When the stall owner saw the business coming, he perked up and said with a smile: "Hey, little brother, you have great vision. These days" Before the stall owner could finish speaking, Chu Chen waved his hand and interrupted: "  Boss, don¡¯t be pretentious. You know the quality of these bronze mirrors. If you can make them cheaper, I¡¯ll take them all.¡± Seeing Chu Chen say this, the stall owner pondered.  After a while, he said: "Little brother, since we are destined to meet each other, I won't say much. If you want these four bronze mirrors, just give me three thousand!" "Three thousand? I said boss, where can I find the bronze mirror?  What¡¯s your price? For a bronze mirror like this, I¡¯ll give you as much as you want for one hundred yuan!¡± Since the founding of the People¡¯s Republic of China, the collection of bronze mirrors has been affected by legal restrictions on bronze trade. Over the years, the price of bronze mirrors has also continued.  downturn.  For example, the Ming Dynasty chronicle mirror in Chu Chen's hand has the four characters "Jiawu Autumn Purchase" engraved on the surface. It is in good condition, but the current market price is indeed less than a hundred yuan.  However, three or four years later, with an auction, the bronze mirror finally had an orthodox status, so the price of the bronze mirror began to skyrocket, and the value of the chronicle mirror in Chu Chen's hand suddenly rose to four  Five hundred dollars.  However, neither Chu Chen nor the stall owner has the ability to predict the future. Seeing Chu Chen say this, the stall owner immediately knew that he had met someone in the industry and it seemed that he could not deceive the other person, so he simply said: "Four-sided bronze mirrors sell for one thousand  Money. You see, this bronze mirror is so big, but it¡¯s quite rare.¡± Chu Chen shook his head and said, ¡°It¡¯s too expensive. Although this bronze mirror is big, who knows what will happen if the red paint is removed.  What does it look like? What if it¡¯s defective? Boss, if you really want to sell it, I¡¯ll take five hundred yuan!¡± The stall owner waved his hands and said, ¡°Little brother, five hundred yuan is too little, you have to let me have it!¡±  You want to earn some money for your hard work? You sincerely want it. You can¡¯t take any less than six hundred yuan!¡± ¡°Okay, please help me wrap it up¡± Chu Chen pretended to ponder for a while, and then nodded.  .  He counted six hundred yuan from his bag and handed it over As soon as Chu Chen left, two men came over anxiously. One of them glanced at the stall and asked the stall owner anxiously  Said: "Boss, at noon, I remember there was a large bronze mirror with red paint on the surface, right? Why is it gone now?" The stall owner was in the joy of the transaction just now, and he fainted slightly when he heard this.  He was stunned and said: "That bronze mirror has just been bought by a young man. Is there any problem?" "Where did the young man go?" The man asked anxiously.  The stall owner pointed in the direction Chu Chen left.  Hearing the man say "thank you", he and his companions chased in that direction anxiously.  Seeing this, the stall owner still didn¡¯t understand that he had missed something, and he felt regretful in his heart.  If I had known this, let alone three thousand, even if he drove six thousand, that young man would have bought it!  "I'm talking about Lao Zhao. You are such a hot-tempered person that you didn't even ask the person's parents. How did you find him?" "Thishey! The one in front carrying the big bag must be him! Little brother! Wait a minute.  " Chu Chen was walking back happily when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.  Looking back, he unexpectedly discovered that the person calling him was actually Zhao Xueyi, and the person next to him was Uncle Wu.  Chu Chen hurriedly greeted him, and after saying hello, he asked strangely: "What's going on with you two sweating profusely?" Zhao Xueyi took a breath, and then said with a speechless face: "  Well, now that the thing is in your hands, it seems that I have no hope!" Chu Chen was a little confused by Zhao Xueyi's words. He asked with a puzzled look on his face: "What is in my hand?" Uncle Wu asked with a smile.  He said: "Did you just buy a large bronze mirror painted with red paint?" Chu Chen understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, but he still asked a little strangely: "Uncle Zhao, since you like it  "Why didn't you buy this bronze mirror earlier?" Zhao Xueyi clapped his hands and said, "Hey! Let's sit down somewhere. We won't be able to explain this for a while." "Okay" Then, Chu.  Chen took the two of them to the newly renovated VIP room of his store. Zhou Wenping and Lao Wu happened to be there too. After everyone exchanged greetings, Lao Wu quickly made a cup of tea for the two of them, and then Chu Chen painted the surface just now.  He took out the red painted bronze mirror.  "Hey!" Zhao Xueyi carefully picked up the bronze mirror, looked at it carefully, and sighed.?: "It's also your luck. When your Uncle Wu and I went to eat at noon, we also saw this bronze mirror when we passed by the stall just now. I didn't take it seriously at the time, but after thinking about it, I always felt that this  The bronze mirror is very familiar. I just remembered that this bronze mirror should be an heirloom of one of my elders. " At this point, Zhao Xueyi told Chu Chen the story of this bronze mirror.  This bronze mirror is actually a bronze mirror with gold and silver interlaced dragon patterns from the Warring States Period. It is a small button with a round button base. There are nine dragons entwining between the button base and the edge. The dragon body has a "gold and silver interlaced" pattern.  The craftsmanship is very exquisite and can be said to be a work of art.  Zhao Xueyi's elder also worked hard to obtain this bronze mirror, and because this bronze mirror also had a battle of wits and courage with the invaders of the island country, the experience can be written into a thrilling long novel.  .  "I saw this bronze mirror several times when I was a child. Later, during those years, my elders painted it with red paint because they were afraid that the mirror would be damaged. And because the composition of his family was problematic, the whole family was  It was transferred to a farm in the west. I don¡¯t know why, but this bronze mirror ended up in the hands of the vendor just now. " Speaking of this, Zhao Xueyi looked a little sad. It didn¡¯t take much to think about it. Since this bronze mirror was lost.  If he comes out, then his elder must be no longer alive.  "No, I have to ask!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Xueyi hurried out.  Everyone can understand Zhao Xueyi¡¯s feelings, and they all sighed lightly when they saw this.  After a while, Chu Chen asked: "Uncle Wu, do you have any potion for removing red paint?" "Don't bother Uncle Wu. I know where to find this potion. I'll go get a bottle now."  Wu said first.  "Okay" After Lao Wu left, Chu Chen asked: "Uncle Wu, when did you come back? You didn't even give me a call so I could pick you up!"  In other places, I was busy contacting the store about antique porcelain. After all, the number of antiques is limited. If you just do antique business, it will eventually come to an end.  However, the antique porcelain contacted by Uncle Wu are all carefully selected high-quality ceramics, which can be completely fake and real, and they are all produced in limited quantities.  Of course, Chu Chen definitely couldn't sell these antique porcelains as genuine ones. Each piece of these antique porcelains has the name of his shop, which is completely bought and sold openly. When he was a hawker, he could do it without hesitation.  Bullying, it makes no sense that now that I have opened an antique store, things have changed.  Originally, Chu Chen was prepared to handle this kind of matter by himself, but Uncle Wu advised him to deal with matters in the capital first. He happened to be quite busy some time ago, so Uncle Wu went to the porcelain capital with Zhao Xueyi.  "I returned to Beijing this morning. It doesn't matter whether I accept the call or not." Uncle Wu said with a smile: "I have already negotiated with the porcelain capital. Let's go there together at the beginning of next month and bring the samples.  After checking and accepting it, you can sign the contract. "Chu Chen said with gratitude: "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Wu!" "What's the matter? I need to use my spare energy!"  Qingyun waved her hands calmly.  Next, everyone chatted for a while, and Chu Chen said a little embarrassedly: "WellUncle Wu, I have something to report to you." "What's the matter?" Seeing Chu Chen's embarrassed look, Wu  My uncle felt a little strange.  "That's it" Chu Chen scratched his head and said weakly: "Keke and I have decided to get married when she returns to China after graduation!" "Pfft! Ahem" Chu Chen's words were left to Uncle Wu.  The sip of tea he just took into his mouth spurted out, followed by a fit of coughing. Chu Chen was so frightened that he hurriedly stepped forward and slapped him for a while. After a while, Uncle Wu took a breath and asked in disbelief: "  Xiaochen, what did you just say? Are you going to get married as soon as Keke graduates?" After seeing Chu Chen nodding in confirmation, Wu Pi was still a little dumbfounded. After a while, he asked, "What's wrong with that girl?  "You haven't mentioned it to us?" Chu Chen scratched his head and said with a smile: "There will be a long vacation next month. We originally thought of waiting until she comes back, but we heard from Sister Shu that we need to prepare for the wedding.  There were a lot of things, so I told my parents about it. They said they would invite you to have a meal together to discuss it later. " "Okay!" Uncle Wu pointed at Chu Chen's nose and said with a smile.  You brat, are you not ready to tell us if your parents don't say anything? " "How could it be!" Chu Chen waved his hands and said, "Isn't it convenient for you to be out of town during this time? "   "Then you won't tell Aunt Wu first?" Uncle Wu blew his beard and glared.  "I just want to wait for you to come back and tell me as soon as possible!" Chu Chen laughed sarcastically. In fact, the reason why he didn't tell Aunt Wu first was because he was afraid that Aunt Wu would nag her, and if he asked about the relationship with Wu Ke,  Hope, he was actually a little ashamed to speak.  After all, they had known each other for several years. Uncle Wu still didn't understand what Chu Chen was afraid of, so he said teasingly: "Come back with me later, and then you can tell Aunt Wu in person!" "Ah!" (Unfinished)  to be continued)
