After coming out of Zuoshan, Chu Chen and Hu Yong went to the ward where Lu Fuquan and his wife were not far away. After several months of treatment, Mrs. Lu¡¯s injuries have basically recovered and she will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. The couple were very happy when they saw Chu Chen coming in. They quickly asked Chu Chen and Hu Yong to sit down and made them a cup of tea. "Sister-in-law, how do your legs feel now?" Chu Chen asked with a smile. "I feel better, but the doctor still wants me to stay for a few more days." Sister-in-law Lu frowned a little when she said it. She has been in the hospital for several months, so she is very concerned about the situation at home. Chu Chen said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, the doctor said this for your own good. Besides, you will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. You have been here for so long, so you are not in a hurry." Although Lu Fuquan also worried about it. Although he was worried about the situation at home, he still agreed with Chu Chen's words in his heart and said: "Chen is right. After all, we have spent so much money on medical treatment. If there are still some problems, wouldn't it be a waste of money? " "Crow's Mouth!" Mrs. Lu rolled her eyes at her husband. Chu Chen chuckled and asked, "Brother Fuquan, when will the doctor let you leave the hospital?" "About the 20th," Lu Fuquan replied. "It's the 20th!" Chu Chen said, "I'm leaving for Myanmar on the 18th, and I probably won't have time to come over by then." Lu Fuquan quickly said: "It's okay! It's okay! We are all grown-ups, and we will be discharged from the hospital. We will take care of it ourselves." Chu Chen nodded, all we need to do is say hello in advance. He said: "At that time, I will also have a document about establishing a scholarship. Please bring it to the old principal." Originally, it would be nothing to bring the document to Chu Chen, but it is such a good thing. Of course, there was nothing to refuse, so Lu Fuquan and his wife hurriedly agreed. After chatting for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Chu Chen and Hu Yong said goodbye together. The next day is the second day of the second lunar month, also known as the Dragon Head Festival, commonly known as the Qinglong Festival. Legend has it that it is the day when the dragon raises its head. It is a traditional festival in rural my country, called the "Dragon Head Festival". As the saying goes: "On the second day of the second lunar month, the dragon raises its head, and everyone in the small household makes cattle for plowing." At this time, the Yang Qi rises, the earth thaws, and spring plowing is about to begin. It is the time to transport manure and prepare for plowing. Chu Chen lived in a rural area when he was a child, so every year at this time, the village would celebrate the "Dragon Head Festival". To show respect to the dragon and pray for rain, let God bless you for a good harvest. However, now that I live in the city, there is no such activity. Even some people don't know about this festival at all. Sometimes Chu Chen also thinks that people nowadays have more and more abundant food, clothing, housing and transportation. But traditional culture is increasingly declining. This is ultimately cultural progress. Or regress? Slightly lamented, after breakfast. Chu Chen said hello to his parents, drove to Uncle Wu's house, and took him to his store with him. When he got there, Chu Chen dealt with some work matters first, and then walked next door to check on the progress of the decoration. Actually, if the decoration is like the main store, the next door should be completed by now, but this is a place for entertaining VIPs, so the decoration must be more detailed and take a longer time. After walking around in a circle and asking the person in charge a few more questions, Chu Chen walked back to the main store with satisfaction. According to the current progress, it will be basically completed in another week. By then, the wind will be down, and when he comes back from England , you can start business. When Chu Chen was walking to the door, he saw Zhu Dafu and others walking over. After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, Qiao Qingtai smiled and said: "Xiao Chu, you have too many good things. After I read them yesterday, I couldn't sleep well at night. Look at me, my eyes are still red!" said As he spoke, he pointed at his eyes jokingly. Others also nodded in agreement. When they saw so many treasures yesterday, they were stunned and very envious. Especially when they heard that most of these things were picked up by Chu Chen, their eyes were filled with tears. Almost sticking out. Chu Chen smiled and said: "Then why don't you sleep for a while?" "How can this be done?" Qiao Qingtai shook his head repeatedly: "It's not easy to come to the capital, how can I fall behind?" Chu Chen laughed and asked: "Then you What are you going to do today? Go shopping in the market or take a look at my collection?" "If you look at it, our eyes will almost pop out." Meng Yi said with a smile. An Gongshi also smiled and said: "Yes! As the old saying goes, once you have seen it, you own it. Now it is just right. If I see it again, I will definitely grab it!" Everyone burst out laughing, and then Zhu Dafu said: "We are going to visit Chengtian today, will you go?" The Chengtian Zhu Dafu mentioned is the name of a hotel. Most people only know that there is Panjiayuan in the capital. Antique City, but real antique businessmen know that there is also a Chengtian Hotel in the capital. In the 1990s, Panjiayuan's business was booming. A large number of antique merchants came to Panjiayuan from various southern provinces every week to find buyers, and the Chengtian Hotel was the place to provide accommodation for these merchants. Later, the merchants "awoke" and thought, why not display the antique collection in the hotel so that players and merchants can see their "treasures". So, for a time, Chengtian Hotel became an "antique hot spot". In this way, Chengtian Hotel gradually developed into a professional market for antique merchants to make friends and buy and sell antiques, and thus attracted a large number of professional buyers to come to search for treasures. Chu Chen hadn¡¯t been to the Chengtian Hotel for a long time, so he readily agreed upon hearing this. Later, he went into the store and asked Uncle Wu if he would go, and Uncle Wu happily agreed. A group of people arrived at Chengtian Hotel in great force. Because it was already past nine o'clock, there was a lot of people here. Standing at the door of the hotel, Zhu Dafu suggested: "There are so many of us, and it is inconvenient to enter the room together. How about we come and see it separately?" "Okay!" Everyone agreed, and then prepared to walk into the hotel. go. "Just come with me!" Meng Yi saw Ji Haoliang walking straight inside and quickly stopped him. "Why?" Ji Haoliang curled his lips. "Just as your Huizhen told me before she left, if you can, rebel against her." Meng Yixian said with a smile. "Rebel, rebel!" Ji Haoliang muttered. But having said that, he really needs to take action. He definitely wouldn't dare. Meng Yi chuckled first, and then walked to the hotel on his own. Although Ji Haoliang was extremely reluctant, he could only follow him obediently. Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but smile secretly, and then followed him in. From 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., there are the most tourists in the hotel. In the afternoon, there are far fewer people. As for the guests who come here, they are mostly antique lovers from the capital, as well as shopkeepers and dealers. Therefore. There are more experts here. They have their own unique principles when buying goods, and it is difficult for them to be deceived by sellers. Because of this, the goods here are generally easier to sell if they are first sight, and most of them are miscellaneous or fake. , basically not many people visit. certainly. It is impossible to say that there are no fakes in the antiques industry, and there are also many fakes here, so when it is time to pay attention, you should still be careful. Go into the hotel. As soon as Chu Chen saw it, many rooms had their doors open, welcoming visitors from all directions. At the Chengtian Hotel. Tenants are roughly divided into three situations. One is long-term stay. Sell ??goods at a stall in the form of a businessman. One is to make an appointment with a regular customer to stay for a day or two. Once the deal is done, it's gone. Finally, there is a type of people who come specifically to the weekend cultural relics and antique markets in Panjiayuan and other places to hunt for goods. They stay for three to five days at most. Those who are close to the capital come almost every week, rain or shine. Chu Chen saw everyone walking into the room to pick out goods, so he also chose a room and walked in. The owner of this room is a man in his thirties. When he saw Chu Chen come in, he just nodded and smiled, without any intention of introducing his collection. This is also because many of the people who come here are insiders. How, they will know it at a glance. Although Chu Chen is young, Wan Yi is also an expert. He only cares about introducing his stuff with nice words, but in the end he only makes jokes. There were not many things on display in the house, only seven or eight pieces of porcelain, three of which were colorful candlesticks, but it was these three candlesticks that aroused Chu Chen's interest. In fact, the reason why Chu Chen was interested in Doucai candlesticks was because last night, he had used an alcohol lamp to bake the next few blank pages. As expected, those blank pages did contain records thing. However, after reading it, he was somewhat disappointed. The five blank sheets of paper only had six related things drawn on them and related introductions written on them. In addition to the three items on the treasure map that were found earlier, the other two pages showed a colorful candlestick, and the last page showed a box and a key. Apart from that, there are no other clues on the paper. Chu Chen was somewhat depressed about this result. He originally thought he could find some useful clues, but he didn't expect it to be this. Although these pictures were helpful to him, they were actually not as good as finding a needle in a haystack.What a difference, it can only be regarded as better than nothing. Shaking his head secretly, Chu Chen stepped forward, nodded to the homeowner, and then picked up the candlestick and observed it. Candlesticks have already appeared in the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasties. At that time, they were celadon candlesticks with various shapes. During the Three Kingdoms period, there were sheep-shaped candlesticks, while in the Two Jin Dynasties, lion-shaped candlesticks were popular. During the Southern Dynasties, the shape of the candlestick became more and more complex. Its special base was in the shape of an inverted lotus pod, with lotus decorations engraved on the outside. A horizontal partition was placed on top, and four bamboo-shaped cups of the same size were placed on the board, which could be inserted at the same time. Several candles. Candlestick bases from the Sui and Tang dynasties are beautifully carved. Candlesticks in the Ming Dynasty have rich shapes and have high artistic appreciation value. Among them, the candlesticks fired in Jingdezhen kilns in Yongle and Xuande periods have an octagonal mouth and base, and a cylindrical neck. During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, the candlestick had a tubular column standing on the high platform. The shape of the candlestick after the Qing Dynasty basically inherited this style (To be continued) Monthly votes cast by ¡°Yu Tian¡±
