    The Yu family's affairs were finally settled, and what made Chu Chen a little happy was that the gang that made counterfeit goods was immediately arrested.  What Chu Chen expected and unexpected was that Yu Guangjie was not only connected with this gang, but also acted as a protective umbrella.  It is precisely because of Yu Guangjie¡¯s protection that the counterfeiting gangs were able to escape every time before.  With the arrest of the counterfeiting gang, the inside story has come to light. In fact, there are not many core members of this gang, only three in total. The most skilled person is the boss Jiang Zhi.  Jiang Zhi is also a poor man. He grew up in an orphanage and learned the art of making porcelain in China City. Because he was diligent and studious, his job paid well and he later got a beautiful girlfriend.  Later, a bloody plot happened. His girlfriend found another rich second-generation man to be his mistress, which deeply stimulated Jiang Zhi.  During that time, Jiang Zhi also quit his job and drank to soothe his sorrows every day. He was confused by people and ghosts, and his mentality also changed.  Maybe it was fate, but within a few days, by chance, Jiang Zhi unexpectedly got the experience recorded by Zhang Huoni, so he worked hard and resolutely entered this industry.  The reason for this decision is also very simple. In addition to wanting to make more money, he also wants to take revenge on those rich people.  Jiang Zhi's own talent is very good, coupled with Zhang Huoni's experience, he has gained a certain reputation in this industry in a few years. However, this matter is illegal after all, so he is usually very cautious, basically every other  I change places every once in a while, so the past few years have been uneventful.  Later, Yu Guangjie established a relationship with Jiang Zhi through Qian Changxing, who was still in the south at that time.  Jiang Zhi's courage also became much greater. Later, due to his breakthrough in craftsmanship, he used it generously and became known as Zhang Huoni.  The reason why Jiang Zhi used this name was not only because he wanted to be famous, but also because he felt that he had the protection of Yu Guangjie.  I will definitely have no worries about safety in the future, but I didn't expect that I would end up behind bars.  Although Chu Chen was a little happy that Yu Guangjie and the counterfeiting gang were arrested, he still couldn't be happy because his sister had suffered a terrible disaster.  And because of this kind of thing, I got engaged on Sunday.  It had some influence. If it weren't for the fact that all his relatives and friends had already invited him, Chu Chen would have planned to postpone the engagement party.  Of course, although Chu Chen thought so in his heart, he did not express this idea in front of his parents, let alone mention it in front of Wu Ke.  He didn't want Wu Ke to finally figure it out, but because of his idea, the relationship between Wu Ke and his sister would become tense.  In fact, Chu Chen was overly worried. If it was before, Wu Ke would have figured it out, but still felt a little knotty in his heart, but because of what happened this time.  The little knot in her heart also dissipated.  On the one hand, this is because of Chu Yulan's life-saving grace to Chu Chen. On the other hand, she also understands that if she is still jealous of Chu Yulan in the future, it will only make Chu Chen dissatisfied with her. In this case, she  Simply abandon the knot in your heart and truly accept Chu Yulan.  Of course, that¡¯s why Wu Ke thought about it.  The main reason is the trust in Chu Chen.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ Sunday, today is the day when Chu Chen and Wu Ke get engaged. Because they are all friends and relatives invited, plus three old men, it is a bit inconvenient to go to the hotel to hold a banquet.  So it was arranged to be held at Chu Chen's villa.  Fortunately, the living room of the villa is large enough to accommodate several tables.  Early in the morning, the makeup artist hired from Liu Ruida began to put makeup on Chu Chen and Wu Ke.  Wu Kedao was okay, but Chu Chen had never put on makeup since he was a child. Such an experience was really miserable for him, and he had to put foundation on his face, which really made him scream.  Can't stand it.  In addition, Liu Sizhe and the others kept chatting and laughing next to them, and winked at them from time to time, which made Chu Chen really want to go up and beat them up, but he couldn't do it because of the makeup, which made Liu Sizhe and the others even more complacent.  Chu Chen sneered and said, "I'll settle the score with you after today!" "Brother Chen, don't be so serious. You see, we have already prepared gifts!" Liu Sizhe chuckled, and then  They opened a box they had brought before and took out a double-ringed bottle with a white jade carving.  At the same time, Chu Chen and Wu Ke were almost done with their makeup. They were both wearing more festive Tang suits today. In Zhao Yunlin¡¯s words, they were just celebrating.  Chu Chen took the bottle in his hand and observed it carefully.  This bottle is carved from Khotan white jade. It has a necked neck, a round belly, and rounded feet. The shoulders are symmetrically decorated with double lingzhi-shaped ears. There is a live ring inside each, and the lid is in two parts.Female mouth, tightly buckled, with a stepped round cover button on top.  There are carvings on both sides of the bottle belly. One of the reliefs is engraved with plum, bamboo, chrysanthemum, Ganoderma lucidum and two magpies, forming a picture of magpies climbing plum blossoms, which means good luck.  The branches in the picture are stretched out, dotted with blooming flowers and buds waiting to bloom, which fully expresses the bending, upward, sideways, lying, leaning, looking forward and other forms of the plum blossoms, as well as the upright, bent, and crooked postures. No wonder the ancients believed that "  May puts the situation first."  In the painting, a magpie is embossed on an independent branch, with its head raised and looking back, while another magpie is carved with a negative line and flying in the air.  Plum blossoms are in full bloom, strong bamboos are standing tall, daisies are blooming, and Ganoderma lucidum is accompanying them, and the elegant scenery leaps into view.  Plum blossoms bloom at the intersection of winter and spring, and magpies stand on the branches of plum blossoms, which means that winter has passed and spring is coming, and it also means "happy on the plum (lintel) tops", which means happy events are coming.  On the other side of the belly of the vase, there is a poem "Ode to the Square Pot with Jade Han Beasts Ring in Hetian" made by Emperor Qianlong engraved in the negative line. Not only does it have a style, but it also has a square seal.  The poem expresses the Qing emperor's love for Hetian jade.  This vase is large in shape (nearly 25 centimeters high) and is typical of the craftsmanship of the palace manufacturing office during the Qianlong period. The carving is exquisite and has a strong artistic appeal, which shows the exquisite carving skills of the jade craftsmen in the prosperous period of Qianlong.  This bottle can be said to be of high quality, uniform in color, warm and white in texture, graceful and dignified in shape, with graceful and smooth curves, rigorous and measured structure, elegant in shape, and auspicious meaning. It can be said to be a rare masterpiece among Qianlong jade wares.  Based on the current market value, it should be worth at least three to four million.  "Brother Chen. Is this jade bottle not bad?" Liu Sizhe said with a smile. Although they paid for the bottle together, he only bought it through his connections, so he had to take credit for it.  "Not bad! Thank you for the gifts!" Chu Chen smiled and nodded. Bottles like this are quite rare.  "Brother, why don't you go out to greet the guests?" At this time, Chu Yulan walked down from upstairs.  It turned out that Chu Yulan suffered a gunshot wound the day before yesterday. Although she was lucky and did not become inflamed, and because no bones were injured, she could theoretically be discharged from the hospital on the same day.  But Chu Chen and the others were definitely not willing to let her leave the hospital so quickly.  However, Chu Yulan had to come to the engagement ceremony. In the end, everyone couldn't resist her. After consulting the doctor, everyone reluctantly agreed.  Seeing this, Chu Chen and Wu Ke quickly walked up to her and said, "Xiaolan. Why are you down? Come upstairs and have a rest!" "Brother, my wound is not a vital part. It's okay.  Yes!" Chu Yulan raised her injured arm.  "Xiaolan, you'd better go up and rest, otherwise it will leave a big scar!" Wu Ke said seriously.  "Really?" Everyone has a love for beauty.  Besides, Chu Yulan is a beautiful woman. When she heard that it would leave a big scar, her face suddenly became a little moved.  "How could I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can ask the doctor whether excessive movement will affect the healing of the wound." Wu Xin said swornly.  "Yes!" Chu Chen persuaded while the iron was hot: "You'd better go upstairs and rest. When people are almost here, I'll ask Sister-in-law Ji to call you." Liu Sizhe and the others also gave a few words of advice.  Chu Yulan muttered: "It's boring to lie in bed all the time!" Having said that, she still walked back to her room. After all, she didn't want to leave a big scar.  At this time, Chu Yongning and his wife and Uncle Wu and his wife had discussed the matter.  After walking out of the back room, Zhao Yunlin asked a little strangely: "Why did I seem to hear Xiaolan's voice just now? Is she getting up?" "Well, we were just persuaded to go back!" Chu Chen nodded.  Zhao Yunlin said with some distress: "This girl doesn't know how to take care of her body at all! I have to talk to her in a while! By the way. What time is it, why don't you go out to greet the guests!" "Right away!  Go, go right away! " Chu Chen chuckled, then took Wu Ke's hand and led the others to the door of the villa, standing side by side, ready to welcome the guests.  The photographer we hired earlier also stood aside and started working.  It was sunny and windy today, and the sun was warm on my body. But even so, January in Beijing was the coldest season of the year. Chu Chen shook Wu Ke's slightly cold hand and asked softly.  : "Keke, is it cold?" "It's okay! I'm still wearing thermal underwear! What about you?" Wu Ke shook his head and asked.  Chu Chen smiled slightly and said: "It's not like you don't know the realm of my boxing skills. I'm almost immune to the cold and heat now!" "Ah! There are such benefits!" Wu Ke said with a surprised look on his face.  "Yes, it's calledYou are too lazy to learn!  "Chu Chen shook his head and laughed. Wu Ke stuck out his tongue and said, "I can't get up in the morning. How about I work harder in the future?  " "We have guests arriving!  "At this time, Fatty Dong, who was standing outside the door, suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs. Chu Chen and Wu Ke stretched their heads and looked outside. It turned out that Mr. Liu's family, who lived not far away, came over.  When they came forward, Chu Chen and Wu Ke quickly said hello to them, and then introduced Wu Ke and Liu Haoran to each other. "Master, you go to the room first and have a sip of hot tea" After all, this is a big house.  It was winter. After a few reserved words, Chu Chen quickly let them into the house to drink tea. Mr. Liu waved his hand with a smile: "Don't worry!  We also have gifts for you!  Come and see if you are satisfied with it!  " "Master, we are all a family, what gifts should we bring!  "Chu Chen said it sincerely. Youdao is a teacher for a day and a father for a lifetime. In his heart, Mr. Liu's family is really just like his family. "What are you talking about? This is an engagement after all. It's just a trip.  , there is no reason not to give gifts!  " Mr. Liu said with a smile, and then Liu Qinshu said quickly: "Dad, let's take a look at my and eldest brother's things first. If I look at yours first, our gifts will seem a bit petty!  " Chu Chen said quickly: "There is no distinction between high and low gifts.  Besides, I'm already very happy that you're here.  " Everyone laughed, and then Liu Qinshu opened the box in his hand, and then with the help of Liu Sizhe, he opened the scroll. "Achen.  Look, this is Xu Beihong's "Five Sons of Rooster" that I collected in my early years" Xu Beihong's original name is Xu Shoukang. He plays a decisive role in the history of Chinese painting and is known as the founder of modern art education in my country. Basically, the collecting community knows him well. Chu Chen is no exception. Xu Beihong studied Western painting in France in his early years. After returning to China, he has been engaged in art education for a long time and has taught in many art schools. His creative subjects include landscape, landscape, and painting. Flowers, birds, animals, characters, history, and myths are all vivid and lifelike in their writing. Together with Zhang Shuqi and Liu Zigu, they are known as the "Three Masters of Jinling" in the painting world. They are especially famous for their paintings of galloping horses. Xu Beihong emphasized the reform of traditional Chinese painting and the integration of Western painting techniques. His paintings advocated light and modeling, and emphasized the accurate grasp of the anatomical structure and bones of the object. In 1920, he proposed the decadent background of modern traditional Chinese painting. "On the Improvement of Chinese Painting" had a great influence on the Chinese painting circles at that time. The composition of the painting "Rooster and Five Chickens" in front of me is simple, with a rooster standing alone on a rock, looking down with bright eyes, and five other chicks standing on the ground looking up. , seems to be listening to the teachings. The whole picture has appropriate shades of ink and rich layers. The shape of the rooster is extremely realistic, especially the depiction of the crown and claws. The tail is drawn with thick ink and the tail is as red as fire. Black as paint, the contrast between thick and thin, red and black shows a kind of harmony. The naive expression of the chicks is very vivid. The chicks are dyed in two colors: ink and yellow, and the three are written in thick ink. The two are goose-yellow, and their furry appearance is very endearing. The most outstanding artistic features of Xu Beihong's animal paintings are accurate shapes and vivid expressions. This accuracy is not an "explanation" of details, but a detailed description. Accurate and concise, the image is real and the pen and ink are vivid. Xu Beihong's accurate modeling ability comes from his solid sketching skills, but to transform the sketch with the relationship between light and dark into the relationship between brush and ink, he needs to be familiar with Chinese freehand painting and the rigorous layout of the picture. The writing is vigorous and the image is vivid. "Chicken" sounds the same as "¼ª", so it can be called "Daji Tu". There are also five chicks, which means that the five children will be admitted or teach the five children. It can be said that if. Once this work appears on the market, it will definitely become the focus of competition. As soon as Chu Chen and Wu Ke saw this painting, they liked it very much. Moreover, it is a work of Xu Beihong, which can be said to be very rare. Then, Chu Chen. He smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Shu, you praise me too much. If you can't get this painting, then what kind of gift can I get?"  Liu Qinshu smiled and said, "As long as you two like it, I will use this painting to wish you a happy marriage and a son soon!"  " Chu Chen and Wu Ke quickly expressed their thanks. Next, Liu Haoran and his wife also took out the gift, which was a pair of quail lid boxes carved during the Qianlong period. This pair of quail lid boxes was carefully carved from Hetian white jade. The jade  The texture is shiny, the patina is warm and simple, and it is steady and majestic. The quail is in a lying shape, with a short neck and a round body.It has round eyes, pointed pecks, and feathers of different lengths on its body. Its body is hollow and divided into upper and lower layers. There is a mother-and-bone box mouth under the wings that can be opened.  Quail is a commonly used pattern and utensil shape in the palace, which symbolizes peace and happiness.  A pair of quails symbolizes "double security".  Chu Chen and Wu Ke also accepted the gifts and expressed their gratitude to Liu Haoran and his wife.  "It's my turn now!" Mr. Liu chuckled, and then with Liu Qinshu's help, he took out the contents of a box and said, "Come, take a look at these enamel-colored Domu teapots.  Satisfied" "Domu Pot?" Except for Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe, everyone else at the scene looked confused. None of them knew what a Domu Pot was.  So Liu Sizhe explained to everyone: "The original meaning of Duomu is a bucket of butter, and it is called Dongmo or Duomu in Tibetan. Add a monk's hat-shaped rim to the mouth, and add a handle and a mouth, and it becomes a Duomu pot.  " " This Domu pot is a vessel used by Tibetans to mix and hold butter tea. Butter tea is called Chasuma in Tibetan. It is a strong tea made from tea bricks, with a small amount of butter and salt added. Some also add some MSG and milk.  Wait for the seasonings and stir until the water and butter are blended. It is a necessity for Tibetan people. Therefore, this Domu pot is also an indispensable daily necessities for Tibetans. "The pair of Domu pots in front of me are large and tall.  Thirty-six centimeters, with a dragon head, fish tail handle and dragon head flow on the neck.  Bowl-shaped lid.  Red coral orb button.  The neck, abdomen and cover are covered with sky blue enamel glaze and decorated with filigree lotus patterns.  The rim of the mouth of the pot and the gilt-bamboo-shaped ring on the belly wall are engraved with curly grass patterns and inlaid with red coral, turquoise and lapis lazuli beads.  The liner is made of silver.  The outer wall of the circle foot is engraved with a lotus pattern, and the rectangular frame opposite to the pot flow is engraved with the regular script "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty".  This pair of Domu pots has a strong nomadic style in shape, with pure copper and fine glaze.  This gilded piece is a royal item customized for the palace by the Yangxin Hall Building Office during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It is very rare and rare.  Chu Chen was shocked when he saw the pair of Duomu pots, and then waved his hands repeatedly: "Master, this is impossible. This pair of Duomu pots is of great significance to you. I can't accept it!" You know!  , this pair of Duomu pots was obtained by Mr. Liu at the risk of his life when he was young. At that time, he even took a bullet from a bandit for the pair of Duomu pots.  Moreover, the value of this pair of Duomu pots is as high as thousands or even tens of millions. How can Chu Chen accept it with peace of mind.  When Mr. Liu heard what he said, he glared at him and said: "You are so pretentious. I am already so old, so what else is there to say? Unless you don't recognize me as a master, then you can use this pair of pots  "Take it!" "This" Chu Chen still felt embarrassed to accept it.  "Why, you don't listen to me!" Mr. Liu said with his beard and eyes wide open.  "Achen, just accept it. This is my father's wish after all!" Liu Qinshu also persuaded.  Seeing that Mr. Liu was really angry, Chu Chen could only signal to Wu Ke, and the two of them collected the things together.  But when Chu Chen took over Duo Mu Hu, he had already made up his mind to wait until the master's birthday.  Must make up for it.  "Thank you, Master!" "Well, that's just right!" Seeing Chu Chen and Wu Ke accept their gifts, Mr. Liu's face also burst into a smile.  "Master, I'll take you in!" "No, it's not like we're unfamiliar with you. You and Xiaoke should stand here to greet the guests!" Although Liu Lao said this, after all, the other party is not only an elder, but also himself.  Master, Chu Chen still supported Mr. Liu and welcomed them into the house.  In addition, Liu Sizhe helped carry the pair of Domu pots into the house.  ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­ ¡°Achen, what¡¯s going on with those pair of pots? Are they particularly valuable?¡± When Chu Chen came out of the room, Wu Ke couldn¡¯t wait to ask.  After this period of time, Wu Ke also knew that Chu Chen and Mr. Liu had a very good relationship. They were really like family members. If it were not a particularly valuable or meaningful thing, Chu Chen would definitely not react like he did just now.  "Not only are they valuable, but the pair of Domu pots were bought by the master with his life" As he spoke, Chu Chen briefly told Wu Ke the story of the pair of Domu pots. Even if it was simple, the dangers involved  Wu Ke was still very nervous after hearing this.  Wu Ke sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that this was the case! Then we have to find a chance to return this gift in the future." Chu Chen nodded: "Well, I want to wait until Master's next birthday.  Give him a surprise!" "What a surprise!" As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Sizhe stepped forward and asked.  "AlsoIt's a surprise, do you think I will tell you?  Chu Chen smiled and pushed Liu Sizhe to the side and said, "Stand still for me. Guests will come soon!"  " "You're welcome" Chu Chen didn't expect that he was right. As soon as he finished speaking, a large family of Chu Chen's family arrived in a mighty manner. Next, Chu Chen served Wu  After introducing all the relatives in the family, everyone exchanged greetings again. After working for a long time, Chu Chen and Wu Ke led everyone into the house. ¡°Achen, we have so many relatives!  " When Chu Chen walked back to the door, Wu Ke sighed. Because Uncle Wu is an only son, and Aunt Wu's hometown is in another place, unless a relative is sick, old, sick or dead, Aunt Wu usually doesn't go back. Therefore, seeing  There are so many relatives in Chu Chen¡¯s family, and Wu Ke feels a little worried about what he should do when visiting relatives during the holidays! ¡°Don¡¯t forget, there is also my grandfather¡¯s family!  Chu Chen said with a smile.
