    Chu Chen felt a little strange about what Uncle Wu said and asked, "Dad, why do I have to sit in the upper seat?" "Because today is Guining, so of course my son-in-law has to sit in the upper seat." Uncle Wu replied with a smile.  Guining has a daughter who never forgets the gift of upbringing from her parents. The son-in-law thanks his parents-in-law and the newlyweds for their love and beauty.  Usually, a banquet is held at the bride's family, and the new son-in-law is seated at the table, accompanied by the bride's elders.  The newlyweds may return on the same day or stay for a few days. If they stay, they may not stay in the same room.  After Chu Chen thought about it for a moment, he understood why and said with a smile: "Dad, although today is a day to return to Ning in a broad sense, after all, I haven't officially married Keke yet, so let's forget about it today! Besides, we are just a family, and  There is no need for this if there are no other relatives and friends present!" Grandma Wu also smiled and said: "That's right, Guining is the last ceremony of the wedding, let's forget about it today." Uncle Wu thought about it and thought this was the truth, so he smiled.  He smiled and never mentioned it again.  "Grandma, Dad, Mom, in this new year, I wish you happiness as good as the East Sea and longevity as the Southern Mountains" After pouring wine and drinks for everyone, Chu Chen picked up the wine glass and toasted.  "Okay, okay!" Seeing this, the three of them laughed from ear to ear, and took out their lucky money and handed it to Chu Chen.  Today, in order to entertain Chu Chen, there was a dazzling array of dishes on the table, but Chu Chen¡¯s first goal was the sweet and sour pork ribs made by Aunt Wu. While eating, he was full of praises.  "Mom, the sweet and sour pork ribs you make are more delicious than those made by top chefs. If you open a restaurant and specialize in this dish, you will be able to overwhelm the restaurant with customers." "Then forget it!" Aunt Wu said  He waved his hand and said with a smile: "If that's the case, I'll probably fall down from exhaustion on the first day, and you won't be able to eat even if you want to!" "That's true!" Chu Chen scratched his head, hehe.  He smiled and said: "For my sake, let's forget about it"  The eighth day of the Lunar New Year.  Scattered lanterns along the stars.  In the blink of an eye, it¡¯s the eighth day of the first lunar month, the eighth day of the eighth lunar month, the day of fortune telling and the Shunxing Festival.  Legend has it that this day is the day when the stars descend to the lower realm, and the stars in the sky are at their best. It is the time for elders to recognize the stars for their children and grandchildren.  It is said that the eighth day of the lunar month is Guzi¡¯s birthday.  The weather is fine on this day, which means a good harvest of rice this year.  If the sky is Yin, the year will be in arrears.  In the morning, when Chu Chen got up for early exercise, he found that the sky was clear and the wind was sunny. It was a rare good weather, according to Guri customs.  This year is undoubtedly a good harvest year, which makes Chu Chen feel very good.  Because today is the opening day of the antique shop, after breakfast, Chu Chen took Chu Yulan, who felt bored, and set off to his shop.  After parking the car, the brother and sister, together with Uncle Wu who picked them up on the way, walked to the door of the store chatting and laughing, and found that everyone else had already cleaned the store.  The firecrackers were also set off, waiting for them to come.  Everyone exchanged a few warm greetings, and then Chu Chen lit the firecrackers himself.  Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Chu Chen wished in his heart that he would reach a higher level this year.  Today is the first day of work. As a boss who wants clear rewards and punishments, Chu Chen still has to give New Year red envelopes, so after setting off the firecrackers, he gave the red envelopes he had prepared long ago.  Distributed to everyone's water.  Although the red envelope was not very generous, everyone felt that they were very lucky to have such a kind boss these days, and they quickly started working with great enthusiasm.  With the new year and new atmosphere, perhaps Chu Chen¡¯s financial fortune was soaring, and the business on the first day of opening was surprisingly good.  The antiques side actually sold a few items worth over 100,000 yuan in one morning, while the Jade side's turnover was as high as nearly 7 million, although of this, a pair of bracelets contributed nearly 5 million.  But everyone still felt very happy.  When it was almost noon, Zhou Wenping went out to order fast food for everyone, and asked the restaurant to cook some delicious dishes, ready to reward everyone. However, when he just walked to the door of the store, an old man walked away with a few boxes.  Come in.  Seeing the old man¡¯s appearance, Zhou Wenping was slightly stunned, because this man was the man who sold porcelain pillows on New Year¡¯s Eve.  Zhou Wenping quickly asked the clerk to help order lunch. He walked up to the old man and greeted with a smile: "Uncle, happy New Year!" "Happy New Year!" The old man nodded and then said: "Today your store is collecting antiques.  Right?" Zhou Wenping smiled and said: "Of course, as long as it is good, our store will collect it for one day, but you won't ask for cash this time, right?" "Why can't you ask for cash?  ?" asked the old man.  Zhou Wenping said: "It's very simple."?If what you bring this time is as good as last time, or even better, then our store really won't be able to get so much cash at the moment.  " "Hey, if everything in my house can be as good as that porcelain pillow, I won't have to worry.  " The old man said sadly, and then said: "I don't know how much the things I brought this time are worth. You can give them as long as the price is not too outrageous.  " Zhou Wenping said quickly: "Uncle, please rest assured, although we definitely want to make more money, we will not set a price without conscience.  " "You" The old man just said two words, then swallowed the rest and sighed: "Hey!  Forget it, that¡¯s it!  " Zhou Wenping also understood to some extent what the old man was thinking, but no matter how well he said this, it was not as convincing as doing it. In the end, the old man would understand. So, he politely told the old man  When they arrived at the reception room, Chu Chen and Uncle Wu were slightly stunned when they saw the old man. They quickly stood up and asked the old man to take a seat. After a brief chat, Chu Chen asked.  : "Old man, are there any difficulties at home?  "    "Why!  It's too much to say" At this point, the old man swallowed his words again and said, "Forget it, stop talking, just take a look at my things.  I only have one request. I hope you will be able to raise the price later. My family is still waiting for the money to save my life!  " Seeing the pleading look in the old man's eyes, Chu Chen softened his heart and said solemnly: "Uncle, we will give you the price as soon as we determine the price. Don't worry!  " Chu Chen has been doing business for more than a year or two, so he can tell. The old man probably didn't mean to win his sympathy and want more money. Besides, he doesn't understand the old man's situation after all. , he would definitely not do a losing business. Even if the old man did it deliberately, he would not suffer any loss. Chu Chen first picked up the top small box, and everyone else picked up the other boxes. Chu Chen took out the thing from the small box and found it was a ís (sounds the same as "shoot"). In simple terms, it is a finger that the shooter uses to hold the bow string. A tool for shooting prey. Nowadays, there are many Qing palace dramas, which makes many people think that the finger pull is only available in the Qing Dynasty. In fact, this is not the case. It has appeared as early as the Shang Dynasty and was very popular in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. Most of them were made of leather or animal bones, and the nobles could also carve them from jade. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the jade hoe could still be used to hook strings, but from the late Warring States Period to the Han Dynasty, it developed into a flatter and impractical ornament. For thousands of years, there have been many styles of wrench fingers. The most important ones are the slope-shaped wrench finger, and the barrel-shaped wrench finger appeared earlier. The earliest ones also have string grooves. Later it was cancelled. In my country, the slope-shaped wrench was still used until the Ming Dynasty. In Mongolia and the Qing Dynasty, the barrel-shaped wrench is still used, which is the kind often seen in TV dramas. The finger on the thumb is made of high-quality Hetian seed jade. The jade is white and delicate, and it still maintains the shape of the early practical hoe. There are three groups of Taotie patterns carved on the inside and outside, and the carving is made of raised patterns. The lines serve as dividing lines. The left and right halves of the Taotie have symmetrical patterns and fine carvings. Judging from the decoration and carving, Chu Chen thinks that this jade should have been made in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties. In addition, this jade is similar to the one brought by the old man before. Like jade pillows, they are all handed down from ancient times. The identification of ancient jade from ancient times is a relatively complicated subject. In addition to the craftsmanship, shape and material, the two most important points are the "grain coating" and "ox hair pattern". Over a long period of time, jade has been "protected" by nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide in the air, and has been corroded by inorganic compounds such as sodium chloride, trace amounts of urea and carbonic acid in human sweat during people's rubbing. A waxy glossy oxide film is produced year by year, which is called patina. This luster is soft and natural, warm and bright. At the same time, some ancient jades do not have a waxy patina due to storage and storage, but they are warm and moist. It seems to be covered by a layer of skin. This layer of material can also be said to be patina. Like the jade in front of you, the color is soft and natural, but it also looks like it is covered by a layer of skin. This is because the jade was often played with by others. In the past ten or several decades, it has been a natural phenomenon caused by being put on the shelf. Characteristics like this are undoubtedly the most difficult to imitate. In addition to the patina, the ox hair pattern is also a factor in identifying the authenticity of jade. important basis.  Generally speaking, on jadeThe ox hair pattern refers specifically to the etching patterns on the surface of ancient jade that are sunken one by one in one direction.  This kind of ox hair pattern is mostly yellow, but also black and red. It is considered to be etching marks along the fibrous grain interface and cleavage lines. It is a reflection of erosion after being buried underground for a long time. It is considered to be an ancient nephrite jade and is not  One of the most common pieces of evidence.  "However, the jade in Chu Chen's hand has not been buried in the soil, but even if it has not been buried in the soil, the surface of the jade will still form ox hair patterns. This type of ox hair patterns are caused by people wearing discs for a long time or natural weathering.  The cow hair pattern on the surface of the jade in front of me is obviously caused by long-term wear and polishing, and the characteristics are very obvious. Chu Chen can see the authenticity of the cow hair pattern at a glance with a magnifying glass.  Whether it is patina or ox hair pattern, it can be proved that this ê` is indeed a genuine product.  This kind of ancient jade that has never been buried in the soil and has excellent jade quality and first-class patina and color can be said to be very rare. It is a pity that it looks a little smaller. In addition, there is some wear and tear on the string position, but even if  That's right, the market value of this jade should be around 100,000.
