    Zhenzhen waved his hand: "What's the point of not giving up? To be honest, I play antiques more for fun. I usually collect some less popular things. I usually put up this pair of hanging screens."  , I don¡¯t even appreciate it.¡± Chu Chen smiled and said, ¡°In that case, let¡¯s talk about the price of the hanging screen. I think the market price of this hanging screen should be 1.2 million based on its size and craftsmanship.¡±  "How can there be so many!" Zhenzhen retorted quickly: "Brother Chu, your eyesight is indeed better than mine, but I have some experience with the price of antiques. If the outer frame is still there, then 1.2 million  It¡¯s really not much, but now that the frame is gone, it definitely won¡¯t cost more than 1 million.¡± Chu Chen said, ¡°Well, since it¡¯s a 64% discount, I¡¯ll pay you 660,000. With this money, I can buy such a pair of hanging screens.  I have already made a huge profit, and I would be embarrassed if it was any less. " Zhenzhen also knew that the market price of this pair of hanging screens was not one million, but nine hundred thousand. After thinking about it, I agreed, and it was considered a bargain.  Everyone is happy.  Because they still had to pick up Wang Xiangong, everyone chatted for a while, and Chu Chen took Duan Kun¡¯s car and set off to the airport.  When we got there, we waited for another half an hour before we saw Wang Xiangong.  On the way back to the hotel, Chu Chen asked: "Mr. Wang, when are we going to your relatives' house?" Wang Xiangong said apologetically: "Xiao Chu, I'm really sorry. The rush over there is so urgent. I think we can go to your relatives' house in the afternoon.  Let's go. I wonder if you have anything else to do here? " Chu Chen said with a smile: "I have nothing to do for the time being, and I was just a little bored. I just wanted to go on a trip with you to gain some knowledge. But your body has recovered.  "Wang Xiangong also smiled and said: "It's okay, my body is still strong" We were talking and laughing along the way, and the time passed very quickly. Duan Kun's car drove to the hotel after a while.  Liu Sizhe and Wang Xiangong also knew each other. He heard Chu Chen say that he was going to Fucheng to buy a house, and he had the idea of ??going with him. However, he had already promised Wang Xiaoyue to travel, so there was nothing he could do.  It just so happened that Wen Meimei's side hadn't been settled yet, so she wanted to go together.  This was just a small matter, and Wang Xiangong agreed immediately. After lunch, everyone took a short break to eat, then got into the car borrowed by Duan Kun and drove to Fucheng.  After a four-hour journey.  The group came to Zitong County, which is under the jurisdiction of Fucheng.  Because Wang Xiangong¡¯s relatives¡¯ home was still a long way away by car, and there was a mountain road. It was winter and it got dark early. In addition, it was not convenient to stay there at night, so Yu Liang and everyone decided to rest in the county town first.  night.  Set off again tomorrow.  It was an uneventful night, everyone got up early, had breakfast and drove on the road.  The road was pretty easy to walk at the beginning, but it soon became bumpy, especially on a section of the mountain road.  Everyone's buttocks were sore. It was no wonder that Wang Xiangong refused to come with Guan Guokang.  Fortunately, the road is difficult to walk.  It¡¯s not so bad that vehicles can¡¯t pass by, and it only lasts less than two hours, so everyone can get through it in a hurry.  Amid Liu Sizhe¡¯s complaints, the car slowly drove into the mountain village, and then stopped in front of a typical Sichuan-style house.  Chu Chen and others got out of the car and were immediately greeted by someone from the house. The leader was an old man who looked to be in his seventies and wearing a cotton-padded jacket. However, his face was a little pale and his energy was not very good.  As if recovering from a serious illness.  "Second uncle, you're here" When the old man opened his mouth, Chu Chen and others felt a little strange. They really didn't expect that this old man who was the same age as Wang Xiangong would actually be Wang Xiangong's junior.  The two parties exchanged pleasantries, and then Wang Xiangong briefly introduced Chu Chen and others, and then said: "Tianxin, you don't seem to be in good health!" Wang Tianxin sighed: "I am old and useless.  My body is getting worse every year. I got sick a few days ago. I almost thought I was going to see my ancestors!" Wang Xiangong frowned and said, "Tianxin, I'm going to talk to you about this!  , Since you are in good health, why don't you take a good rest in the house? What if you get cold again in this winter? " When Wang Xiangong's grandfather was able to return to his roots, it was basically with the help of Wang Tianxin, so Wang Xiangong still had a sense of Wang Tianxin?  Not bad, during the holidays, some specialties from the capital will be mailed to Wang Tianxin.  The reason why Wang Xiangong came this time was because Wang Tianxin begged him.  Wang Tianxin waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter. You came all the way from the capital, so I should pick you up when I go out! Come on, let's go inside first"   With that said, Wang Tianxin invited everyone to sit down in the hall, asked his son to pour a glass of water for everyone, and said to Wang Xiangong: "Second uncle, please go there in person, but I can only ask for it.  "It's on your head." Wang Xiangong shook his head: "Nowadays, transportation is developed, so it's not difficult to say, but why do you want to sell the things left by your ancestors this time?" "Hey!" Wang Tianxin sighed!  Said: "To be honest, I don't want to sell the things left by my ancestors, but I have no choice. Xiaozhuang now works in the provincial capital, has a girlfriend, and is even pregnant with a child. Now the other party's family said that he must be there  To buy a house in the provincial capital, you need a small sum of money as a gift. You also know the situation of my family. I can only raise money by selling a few things from my ancestors. "The Xiao Zhuang that Wang Tianxin mentioned was his grandson named Wang.  Zhuang, in Wang Xiangong¡¯s memory, Wang Zhuang did go to university in Shudu. At that time, because he was admitted to the university, Wang Xiangong came back from the capital and gave him a gift. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, Wang Zhuang was not only working,  She's even going to have a baby soon.  However, Wang Xiangong didn't like Wang Zhuang very much. Although he only met him a few times, Wang Zhuang didn't feel very good about him. Moreover, Wang Zhuang's father was the greedy person he mentioned earlier, so he waited.  After Wang Tianxin said it, Wang Xiangong just said a few words indifferently.  Wang Tianxin sighed in his heart when he saw Wang Xiangong's statement. Who said his son was so shameless?  Next, the parents of both parties had a brief chat, and then Wang Tianxin¡¯s son and daughter-in-law walked in with a few things.  After the two of them put everything on the table, Wang Tianxin said: "Second Uncle, you can take a look at these things. If you don't like them, there are a few more at home." "Okay, Second Uncle, as long as the things are good,  I will definitely not let you suffer." Wang Xiangong nodded, and then gave Chu Chen an apologetic look. After all, they are relatives, and it is a matter of marriage. Even if he does not want to see the other party, he still needs to support him when he should.  I support him. As for Chu Chen suffering a loss, he will definitely make up for it when he returns to Beijing.  Chu Chen smiled slightly and didn't care much in his heart. After all, this is human nature.  But when he saw the antiques on the table, he couldn't help but frown.  There were five antiques on the table, two of which were jade, two pieces of porcelain, and a bronze mirror. What made Chu Chen frown was that among the five items, the bronze mirror and the two pieces of porcelain were both fake at first sight.  After looking at the two jade articles for a while, he confirmed that they were fakes.  "Don't say it's Chu Chen. It may be difficult for people who don't know how to identify the authenticity of these five antiques, but even Liu Sizhe saw the problems within them after a while.  Could something like this be passed down from ancestors?  Just think about it and you know it¡¯s impossible!  Wang Tianxin immediately saw the strange look on everyone's faces and asked quickly: "Second uncle, what's wrong with you guys? Do you not like these things? I'll ask Ah Cheng to get a few of them right away." Wang Xiangong wrinkled  He frowned and said: "Tianxin, it's not that we don't like these things, and there are problems with these things!" Hearing what Wang Xiangong said, Wang Tianxin became a little anxious: "Is there a problem? This is impossible, these things have problems!"  "Everything is passed down from our ancestors!" "That's right!" Wang Tianxin's son Wang Cheng also shouted: "Second Grandpa, these things have been around for hundreds of years, how could they be fake? It couldn't be you.  You don¡¯t know how to read it!¡± ¡°Why are you talking to your second grandfather!¡± Wang Tianxin scolded, and then said to Wang Xiangong: ¡°Second uncle, I have seen these things since I was a child, so there should be no problem!  "Chu Chen picked up the bronze mirror and said, "Uncle Wang, you are wrong! If nothing else, this bronze mirror cannot be fake anymore." Wang Cheng said with an angry look.  "Young man, you have to speak responsibly! Why do you say this bronze mirror is fake?" Chu Chen sneered and said, "I won't tell you the truth. You don't understand it anyway.  If you have soda at home, I can prove it to you right away!¡± ¡°I¡± Wang Cheng was already a little flustered at this time.  Wang Tianxin slammed the table: "Hurry up and get it!" By now, even if Wang Tianxin is a little old and confused, he can see that there is something wrong, but in his heart, he still doesn't want his son to lie to him, even if the result may not be him  He also wanted to give his son another chance.  At this point, Wang Cheng could only go to the kitchen to get soda.  Chu Chen said calmly: "By the way, don't forget to bring another bowl and a brush" After a while, Wang Chengcheng came in again with a few things Chu Chen said and put them on the table.  ??Up.  Chu Chen first checked the soda, then poured it into a bowl, soaked it in boiling water, and then said: "The reason why I say this bronze mirror is fake is because the rust on the bronze mirror is fake.  , the method to identify true and false rust is very simple. For any imitation rust, no matter what color, as long as it is brushed with boiling water with alkali added, the rust color will fall off and the artifacts will be exposed. For real rust, use alkali-added rust.  After scrubbing with boiling water, it becomes more obvious"
