Wu Ke said with a sad face: "Ah! Then we have to run to death during the holidays!" Chu Chen explained with a smile: "It's not as exaggerated as you. Our family usually gets together during the holidays. For food, the most we can do is go to Grandpa¡¯s house.¡± Hearing what Chu Chen said, Wu Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he really had to go all the way, his legs would be broken. . After Chu Chen and Wu Ke finished talking, Liu Sizhe came up to him and said with a charming smile: "Brother Chen, how did you do that trick just now? Please teach me!" Chu Chen knew that nothing good was going on when he looked like this. , but also a little confused about what Liu Sizhe meant, so he asked: "What's that trick?" "Just now you said someone was coming soon, and then Mr. Chu and the others came over." Liu Sizhe rubbed his hands and said : "Do you have any secrets? Please teach me!" Chu Chen said in a dumbfounded voice: "There is no secret to this thing. I just said it casually. Who knew that grandpa and the others would just happen to arrive?" "Really?" Liu Sizhe said with some disbelief. "Is that still false?" Chu Chen said speechlessly: "If I really could predict, then I wouldn't stay at home and speculate in stocks. I could become a billionaire in a short time." "That's true!" Liu Sizhe He said with some distress: "It would be great if you really had the ability to predict!" "Why, what's the trouble?" Chu Chen asked with a smile. "Am I so obvious?" Liu Sizhe asked curiously. "Trouble is written on your face. Do you think it's obvious or not?" Chu Chen said with a smile: "Tell me what's going on!" "This" Liu Sizhe turned away from Zheng Hewen next to him. Yuting and the others glanced at Wang Xiaoyue who was talking. Then he leaned into Chu Chen's ear and said: "Brother Chen, you don't know. My grandfather and parents knew about the relationship between Wang Xiaoyue and I. That day, my butt would have blossomed. If I hadn't been reasonable, I fought hard and was probably forced by my parents to cut off the relationship with Wang Xiaoyue. In order to punish me, they not only cut off my financial resources, but also asked me to pay for the money to deal with the affairs of Meimei (Wen Meimei)'s family. It's really My uncle can't bear it, but my aunt can't bear it!" After hearing Liu Sizhe's explanation, Chu Chen suddenly realized. No wonder Liu Haoran and his wife looked at Wang Xiaoyue in a strange way. That's what happened! "Then why did you still smile when Brother Haoran was there just now?" Chu Chen said with a smile. "Two fascists, if I really have to show it on their faces, then Xiaoyue and I really have to stop thinking about it." Liu Sizhe said with a frown. "Oh!" Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Then tell me, what do you and Xiaoyue think?" "We. Of course we want to get married!" Liu Sizhe said matter-of-factly. "So soon?" Chu Chen looked stunned. Although he and Wu Ke had only been officially friends for a few months, they had lived together for two years and knew each other's personalities very well. That's why I thought of getting married so quickly. "Is it soon? Xiaoyue and I have been classmates for several years!" Liu Sizhe said with a strange look on his face: "And I think Xiaoyue's personality complements mine perfectly. If we get married in the future, she will definitely be mine. "Forget about this!" Chu Chen patted his forehead and said, "If you don't have enough money, ask me to borrow it then!" "Brother Chen, I love it so much!" You!" Liu Sizhe hugged Chu Chen and laughed. "Get away from me!" Chu Chen laughed and scolded and pushed Liu Sizhe away. Seeing Liu Sizhe¡¯s appearance. Everyone else was very curious, and Fatty Dong even winked at Wang Xiaoyue and said, "Xiaoyue, it seems that your family has begun to develop a habit of cutting off sleeves." Liu Sizhe just waved his hand and said with a smile: "Go away!" Everyone laughed for a while, then Chu Chen asked: "By the way, Azhe, when are you going to go to your cousin's hometown?" "I think the 15th of this month is about right. Let's go over there and inquire about the situation first!" Liu Sizhe thought for a while and said. "It's the 15th!" Chu Chen frowned and thought for a while: "I promised others to participate in a treasure appraisal program, and the date seems to be around the 15th. If I go on that day, it doesn't seem possible!" Liu Sizhe listens to Chu When Chen said this, he immediately asked excitedly: "Treasure appraisal program? It's from National Television?" "No, it's from Beijing Television." Chu Chen replied. ¡°The ones in Beijing are pretty good too!¡±Sizhe said excitedly: "I didn't expect you, Brother Chen, to be on TV. With your qualifications, you are more than enough to appear on an appraisal program." "No way, I participated" "We have guests!" Before Chu Chen could finish speaking, Fatty Dong roared at the top of his lungs again. Chu Chen stretched out his head and saw that this time it was his grandfather's family, but Zhao Qirui's family was missing. It was said that the car broke down halfway. . ? Next, there was another introduction and greeting as before, and then Chu Chen and Wu Ke invited Mr. Zhao and the others into the house, followed by Liu Sizhe and the others who were carrying a lot of gifts. Next, it was busy until ten o'clock, and many guests came again, such as Mr. Qian, Guan Guokang, Wang Xiangong and other seniors and friends in the antique industry, all came together. "Xiao Chen, we're late, I'm so sorry!" Just after ten o'clock, Zhu Dafu and Zhao Xueyi also came over. Chu Chen waved his hands with a smile and said: "Where is it! It's not too late at all!" "Come on, come on! This is my gift to you, see if you like it!" With that, Zhu Dafu opened the box in his hand. He opened it and brought it to Chu Chen. Chu Chen took out the contents of the box and took a look, only to find out that it was a gilt-painted and enamel-painted bronze fish basket with precious phase. Fish basket statues were fired in both the early Ming and early Qing dynasties. The former was used as a storage vessel, while the latter was used as a high-end furnishing. Mingyong instruments have straight mouths, sloping shoulders, bulging bellies, and curved round bottoms. The Xuande vessel has an open mouth, sloping shoulders, round belly and closed feet. The products made during the Yongzheng and Qianlong reigns of the Qing Dynasty were designed to imitate bamboo fish baskets, with dish mouth, tied neck, flat bulging belly and flat bottom. This fish basket statue was made during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It has an open mouth, a closed neck, a pier-shaped round belly, and a fish basket statue shape. The mouth of the circle and the mouth of the mouth are gilt. Apply turquoise green color to the inner abdomen and white color to the soles of the feet. The outer wall is covered with yellow ground, and the three blue grounds on the neck are decorated with six green leaves and red flowers. The abdomen is mainly decorated with three large precious flowers surrounded by symmetrical green leaves. The colors are divided into red, blue and õª. The whole vessel is made of finely crafted copper, round in shape, bright and clean in color, and exquisite in painting. It must have been made by the Imperial Palace Building Office of the Qing Dynasty. Chu Chen made a rough estimate and found that the price of this fish basket statue should be around 600,000, so he declined: "Uncle Fu, this is really too expensive for you. I" Zhu Dafu waved his hand and interrupted Chu Chen. Chen said: "Xiao Chen, what you said is a bit exaggerated. You call me uncle. Can't I give you a gift that I can give you? Or are you saying that you look down on me?" Chu Chen quickly said: "Fu Uncle, how can I look down on you when you say this? I will accept this fish basket!" "That's right!" Zhu Dafu said with a smile. "Thank you, Uncle Fu!" Wu Ke also smiled and expressed his gratitude. "Come! I know you like porcelain, Xiaochen. Let's see if you like the one I chose." Zhao Xueyi also opened the box and sent it to Chu Chen. Inside the box is a jug, a wine vessel that appeared in the Sui Dynasty, also known as "Zhuzi" and "Zhuhu". It¡¯s the kind of hip flask that often appears in hotels in period TV dramas. In the early Tang Dynasty, the teapots had a plate mouth, short neck, bulging belly, cylindrical or hexagonal short straight handle, and crank handle. In the late Tang Dynasty, the belly of the teapot was often melon-shaped, with short neck, long flow, crank handle, straight handle, etc. . From the Five Dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty, the body of the vessel gradually became taller, with 4-6 melon ribs on the whole body. The flow gradually became slender and slightly curved, the crank handle was higher than the mouth of the pot, the flat bottom became a circle foot, and most of them were matched with pouring bowls. Most Yuan vessels are of the jade pot spring vase type, with S-shaped ornaments connecting the curved flow and the neck of the pot. After the Ming and Qing dynasties, the shapes increased, and they were mostly made into tea sets. The body of this handle pot is in the style of a jade pot and spring vase. There is a long curved flow on one side of the belly, and a cloud-shaped plate is connected between the flow and the neck. It is beautiful, practical and cleverly designed. There is a curved handle on the other side with a rounded handle on it. The small series was originally used to tie the lid of the pot. The lower part of the handle is decorated with three breast nails. The lines of the shape of the vessel are complex and changeable, and it is graceful and beautiful. The whole body of this pot is painted with blue and white, with rich layers and appropriate layout, without any sense of complexity. The neck is decorated with camellia and curly grass patterns, and the abdomen is symmetrically decorated with diamond-shaped consecration on the front and back. The interior is painted with pomegranate and grape patterns, which means good luck. The outer wall of the circle foot is decorated with wave patterns, and the bottom is written with six characters and three lines of "Made in the Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty". Seal script. The blue and white painting method of this pot is based on the style of Fa Yongxuan. The workmanship is beautiful and meticulous, and the patterns are rich and colorful with heavy brush strokes to imitate the effect of iron brown spots deposited on the "Suni Bo Qing" material in the early Ming Dynasty. The effect is excellent, dignified and beautiful. Cang, elegant and vigorous, just like ink and wash, the flowers painted with delicate brushstrokes, smooth charm, beautiful yet vigorous, the body of the pot is showy and solid, steady and elegant. All these factors make this kettle unique. It can be said to be a rare masterpiece among the kettles fired by the official kilns during the Qianlong period. No matter what aspect you look at, this jug should be authentic, but when Chu Chen got the jug in his handAt this moment, the strange feeling in his heart suddenly appeared again, which made Chu Chen suddenly wonder, could this holding pot be a fake? Thinking of this, Chu Chen quickly used the Lingbao Eye again. To his surprise, the pot was indeed a fake, but there was something hidden inside the pot. Just when Chu Chen was about to take a closer look, Zhao Xueyi smiled and said, "How about it, Xiao Chen, do you like this pot?" Chu Chen came back to his senses and said quickly: "I like it. Thank you, Uncle Zhao, for giving it to me. "A gift!" Not to mention that there is something hidden in this pot, even if there is nothing hidden in it, he will accept it. Otherwise, if he says that the pot is a fake, where will Zhao Xueyi's face be? Moreover, Chu Chen would not believe that Zhao Xueyi would deliberately deceive him with a fake. (To be continued)
