    After a while, the young man recovered from this shocking news to him, and quickly asked: "Then how much is this thing worth?" Chu Chen knew that the result was a bit cruel to them, but this matter  They would have to face it sooner or later, and Yu couldn't bear to say: "I estimate the market value is about fifty thousand." "How much? Fifty thousand?!" The mother and son were obviously frightened by the price.  "Yes, the price is indeed as Director Chu said, this piece of Gangmao can be worth fifty thousand." Wei Shenghuan nodded solemnly.  After receiving the confirmation, both mother and son were stunned. They didn¡¯t spend 50,000 yuan to buy these jade stones. Now one jade stone not only paid back the money, but also made a lot of money.  Originally this was something to be happy about, but because of this incident, my husband (father) became seriously ill and recovered within a few days. No matter how much money you have, can you bring him back!  The young man came back to his senses and said angrily: "You actually regard the real thing as fake, what kind of bullshit expert are you!" | None | Wrong | "Which expert were you looking for in the first place?" Wei Shenghuan asked.  When the young man named a person, he frowned and said, "Why are you looking for him? Although this guy is famous, his skills are really not that good, and he is very fast at identifying things. It's better to look for him than me!"  "Hey! I wanted him to go find you at first, but he just didn't agree, and it ended up like this. What the hell!" At the end of the sentence, the woman cried out sadly, and immediately said  Rush out the door.  "Momhe is an expert like xx, I will go to him sooner or later to settle the score!" With a roar, the young man ran out quickly.  "I'll go take a look!" She was worried that something would happen to the mother and son.  Wei Shenghuan and Chu Chen said hello and hurried out.  See this situation.  Chu Chen felt very emotional. Being able to find the fourth Gangmao was indeed a happy event for him.  But mixed with such tragedy, it was not what he wanted to see.  "Hey, in the final analysis, a person should be self-aware, and the most important thing is to avoid being greedy." Wu Ke sighed.  Chu Chen and Zuo Shan nodded in agreement, but not to mention self-awareness, many people would not be able to do just the taboo against greed, otherwise there would not be many people who would have their families ruined because of buying fake antiques.  Because of this incident, the atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing.  At this time, Wu Ke suddenly thought of a question and said: "Achen, do you think they will sell that box directly because they need money? That thing is a silver box and an antique, and it can be worth a lot of money.  Right?" Chu Chen was startled when he heard this, so don't say anything.  This possibility does exist, and if that is the case, it will be troublesome.  Thinking of this, he frowned and looked around.  He found that there was no trace of the silver box in the room, so he could only wait until Wei Shenghuan and the others came back.  The wait lasted nearly twenty minutes.  Wei Shenghuan just walked back with the young man.  Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly asked: "Is Auntie okay?" The young man shook his head: "It's okay. It's just that she's a little uncomfortable now and is resting in the room." Chu Chen heard that it was okay.  He breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he would feel a little uncomfortable. He continued: "Brother Wei, I want to ask something that may be inappropriate. I wonder if the silver box passed down by your family is still there?" "Oh! This matter  I just heard from my uncle that the things are right here." As he said that, the young man raised the bag in his hand and said, "It's a coincidence that you came here. I have almost spent all my savings and I am about to spend this.  I only sold the box for money. If you had come a day or two later, the things would have been in the hands of others." After hearing this, Chu Chen was completely relieved and said with a smile: "Then can I appreciate this?  "Something?" "Yes, yes" The young man paused and seemed a little hesitant.  Chu Chen said, "Brother Wei, if you have any questions, just ask." "Then I'll tell you straight." The young man said, "I just looked at it, and there is indeed writing in this box, and it's very clear, but what is it?"  I don¡¯t know the words, and I don¡¯t know if it¡¯s the formula you want.¡± At this time, Wei Shenghuan took over and said, ¡°I just read it, it should be inscriptions on inscriptions. I haven¡¯t studied inscriptions on inscriptions, and I can¡¯t understand them.  What does it mean?" The young man nodded, and then said: "Originally, I wanted to check it myself to see what it meant, but it took too long, and Director Chu must not be able to wait.  . Therefore, I want to make a promise with you." Hearing this, Chu Chen understood what the young man meant. He was just afraid that he would write down the formula inside and not buy this box.If you lose your child, wouldn¡¯t that be a loss?  "I understand what you mean. We can sign an agreement. If the text inside is indeed what I want, I will buy it at the price we agreed on. I just don't know how much you want?" "Uh"  The young man lowered his head and thought for a while, but couldn't figure out how much it would cost. He looked at Wei Shenghuan with some confusion, and then said to Chu Chen: "Director Chu, please wait a moment.  Let's discuss it." "No problem" The young man and Wei Shenghuan went out to discuss for a while, then came back and said with some lack of confidence: "Director Chu, we just discussed it.  The formula written in the box is indeed Luanjiao. If you spend a total of one million, you can take it back with the silver box. "" One million?" Chu Chen lowered his head and pondered. If the formula is indeed Luanjiao.  For the formula, one million is nothing to him. If Luan Glue can be re-developed according to the formula, the value cannot be measured by one million at all.  As for whether it is possible that the two legendary materials of Phoenix Mouth and Qilin Horn are really needed, it cannot be said that there is no possibility, but if Wei Shenghuan is telling the truth, then this possibility can be said to be very slim.  No matter what, for Chu Chen, spending one million to buy the formula together with the silver box is still a very cost-effective thing.  So, he nodded and said: "We can sign an agreement." The young man waved his hand with a smile: "No, I believe Director Chu still has this credibility." With that, he handed the bag directly to Chu  Chen.  After all, young people are not insiders.  Chu Chen didn't pay much attention to this and took the bag casually.  Just took out the contents of the bag.  This is a round box, the material should be silver.  As soon as the thing caught his eye, Chu Chen felt that there was something wrong, because if he saw it correctly, it was a silver box from the Tang Dynasty.  The box is one of the more common types of gold and silver vessels in the Tang Dynasty.  Its shape is divided into upper and lower parts, which can be opened and closed. The flat surface of the lid can be round, petal-shaped, etc., and the top of the lid can be divided into flat top and raised top.  Some boxes also have ring feet.  Round boxes and petal-shaped boxes are the most common.  Boxes have a wide range of uses. Generally, large boxes are mostly used to hold various medicines, tea, spices and other valuables, while smaller boxes are mainly used to hold cosmetics.  Seven large silver boxes among the gold and silverware of the Tang Dynasty were unearthed in Sanqin Province, which contained stalactites, cinnabar and other ancient medicines for strengthening the body and prolonging life, and were also raw materials for alchemy.  This silver box is in front of me.  It is a gilt silver box with patterns of mythical beasts and treasures. It has coordinated proportions and dignified shape. It is stacked with hammers.  Engraving, welding, gilding.  The polishing and other craftsmanship can be said to be quite exquisite.  It is one of the representative works of gold and silver utensils in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.  This round silver box is about nine centimeters in diameter, and the bottom of the lid is convex.  It has short round feet and can be opened and closed. It was used by women in the Tang Dynasty to hold cosmetics.  The whole vessel is decorated with a caviar pattern and is divided into five decorative sections. A powerful flying winged mythical beast with its feet on auspicious clouds is engraved in the center circle of the cover. The inner and outer lines of the central circle are bead patterns, and the middle is a rhombus geometric pattern.  On the outside, there are continuous Baoxiang flowers forming the second interval pattern.  The edge of the cover is engraved with small deformed upward lotus patterns.  The main body of the box is decorated with chiseled Tang grass patterns. The decoration on the bottom is the same as the decoration on the cover. They are both composed of continuous Baoxiang flowers. The cover, the turning points of the body and the ring feet are all welded.  What¡¯s even more rare is that the gilding on the surface of this silver box has been well preserved after so many years, and it almost looks like new.  In addition, the decorations on the entire device are evenly distributed, the lines are smooth, and they are exquisite and elegant. It can be said that it is a very obtainable object and is worth a lot of money.  After observing the appearance of the box, Chu Chen opened the box and saw that there were indeed a lot of words engraved on the back of the lid, the size of a mung bean, and the words were in gold.  After careful identification, a smile appeared on Chu Chen's face. Although the combination of these words is relatively obscure and the wording is more like ancient alchemy books, with many argots, it is still quite smooth to read.  In addition, judging from the carvings, it should have been carved around the same time as the silver box.  Judging from these clues, it is very likely that these texts record the formula of Luanjiao.  The fly in the ointment is that the main ingredients of the formula are really two things: phoenix mouth and unicorn horn. Because there is no information, Chu Chen doesn't know whether they are the real phoenix mouth and unicorn horn, or if they are just nicknames, which makes him somewhat distressed.  Seeing the joy on Chu Chen¡¯s face, Uncle and Nephew Wei Shenghuan also breathed a sigh of relief. The young man could not hide his joy, but when he thought of his father who was about to come to the end of his life, his eyes dimmed again.  Chu Chen closed the box and asked, "Mr. Wei, I wonder if your father left anything behind?"?What notes or something?  " Wei Shenghuan recalled it and said, "Yes, but it was all left to my brother.  Seeing everyone looking at him, the young man said apologetically: "The things left behind by grandpa must have been thrown away by my dad when he renovated the new house."  " Wei Shenghuan asked in surprise when he heard this: "I remember that my dad left a lot of old books, right? All of them were lost?  " The young man said with some embarrassment: "It's not like everything was lost, but a few years ago, those books and other things were accidentally flooded. Only a few ancient books were left, and the rest were thrown away by my father.  .  " Hearing this regrettable result, Chu Chen was quite depressed, but he did not give up and said: "Brother Wei, can you show me those ancient books?  " "Okay, wait a moment" After a while, the young man came back with a few thread-bound ancient books, handed them to Chu Chen and said, "These are the ones.  " Chu Chen looked through it and found that they were all printed books from the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. They mainly talked about the knowledge of plants and minerals. In the blank spaces of the pages, the original owner also wrote some notes. After a rough look through them, Chu Chen felt that this  Although there are no annotations about Phoenix Mouth and Qilin Horn, some clues may be found in them. So he asked: "Brother Wei, can you sell these books to me?  "    "ah?  Are these books also valuable antiques?  ". The young man asked in surprise. Chu Chen shook his head: "It's just some books printed in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China.  It's probably worth a hundred or so yuan in total.  I want them mainly as a reference.  " Hearing that it was only worth a few bucks, the young man chuckled and said, "Since you think it's useful.  Then give it to you.  " Anyway, it only costs about a hundred yuan, so Chu Chen accepted it with a smile: "Brother Wei, do you want a check or a bank transfer?  "The young man said quickly: "I haven't seen the check, so I'd better go to the bank to transfer it.  "    "OK.  Chu Chen nodded, and then said: "Brother Wei, I wonder if you can transfer the Gangmao to me?"  " "I" The young man was slightly startled. Just as he started to speak, Wei Shenghuan quickly interrupted him and nodded: "Okay.  Can!  " When Chu Chen saw this, he still didn't understand that Wei Shenghuan should have ordered the Gangmao before. This made him somewhat lucky that Wei Shenghuan knew something about him, otherwise he would have to waste some words. Thinking of this  , Chu Chen quickly expressed his gratitude to the two of them, and said: "As for the price, let's count it as the fifty thousand I mentioned before.  " "This this is so embarrassing!  " The young man scratched his head in embarrassment. Although he had never bought or sold antiques before. But because of his father's relationship, he had heard about it. He knew that like clothes, the market price would always only serve as a reference. If it is precious  Antiques may be priced at a premium. For an ordinary item like his Gangmao, it would be considered kind if it were not severely underpriced. Chu Chen said with a smile: "  It doesn't matter.  This is called love that is hard to buy with a lot of money.  " The young man chuckled and said nothing more. The business was completed. Next, everyone was going to the bank to transfer money. Before leaving, Chu Chen told them that they knew a little about medical skills and went to help Zhang Shengle make a diagnosis, but he concluded  The conclusion is similar to the previous doctor's diagnosis. No matter how good the treatment is, he will basically be in a vegetative state after being rescued. Hearing this result, Wei Shengle's wife and children were extremely sad. Thinking about it, what if.  Wei Shengle was not greedy. If the expert's appraisal results were not wrong, the current result would not have occurred. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world  Not only did he get the formula of Luanjiao during his trip to southern Yunnan,  And he unexpectedly pocketed the fourth Gang Mao. Chu Chen was very satisfied with this honeymoon trip. Of course, it would have been even more perfect if there had been no tracking and Wei Shengle's tragedy.  Since the trip to southern Yunnan took more than half a month, Chu Chen was in a hurry after returning to the capital. In addition, there were a large number of tourists during the National Day holiday. He did not stop being busy until the 10th.  Seeing Chu Chen enter the door, Lao Wu smiled and said: "Hey, boss, I thought you had forgotten this place!  " "What you said, no matter what happens, I will never forget that this is my hometown!  " Chu Chen said while greeting everyone, because there are more things at the museum, and he has other careers. Since coming back, he has not been here yet, including his trip to southern Yunnan.  ?In fact, it has been quite some time since I came here.  After saying a few useless words, Chu Chen asked: "Where is my dad?" Zhou Wenping replied: "Uncle Wu and Lao Zhao went out together. They said they were going to collect a good thing. What exactly was it?  "Also ask." Chu Chen nodded, thinking that he had been so busy during this period that he had forgotten about Zhao Xueyi. He was somewhat embarrassed and asked quickly: "By the way, has Lin Laowu come to compensate Uncle Zhao for his losses?"  ?" Lao Wu said with joy, "Why not, that guy is like a grandson, and he looks so angry." "You are doing your own thing!" Chu Chen sneered, and then took Lao Wu and Zhou Wen with him.  Ping, Gu Qifei, and Gu Jianming came to his office and took stock of various matters in the antique store during this period.  An hour later, Chu Chen said with a smile: "Okay, I've worked hard for you all during this period, and I'm going to be cheesy. Everyone's bonuses will be doubled for these two months." Although money is a cheesy thing, few people don't love it.  , so everyone laughed and expressed their gratitude to Chu Chen.  At this moment, a clerk knocked on the door and came in, saying that a man named Du Zhonglin was looking for Chu Chen below.  Talk about it.  Because I was worried about alerting the enemy, I got clues about the "weirdo" from Du Zhonglin last time.  Mr. Liu did not take action immediately.  It's a good thing he dealt with it this way, because that person is very cunning.  Even if the investigators were very careful, they were almost discovered by him.  And since then, he has been suspicious. Apart from arresting him directly, it is difficult to get news about Cai Jianxuan from him.  Because there are very few criminal facts found on him, arresting him directly is the next best option.  So, someone came up with the idea to ask Du Zhonglin to contact him, maybe he could find some clues.  But could Du Zhonglin hold back the hatred in his heart.  That's just a problem. What's more, Du Zhonglin has never received training, how can he achieve this goal?  However, what everyone didn¡¯t expect was that Du Zhonglin had actually studied Peking Opera and was very talented in acting. In addition, Du Zhonglin was eager to bring the ¡°weirdo¡± to justice, so he didn¡¯t even think about it.  So I agreed.  And after testing, it should be able to complete the task.  As a result, a temporary "secret agent" took office.  Thinking that Du Zhonglin might have found some clues when he came to find him, Chu Chen quickly asked the clerk to invite Du Zhonglin to his office.  Chu Chen smiled and greeted Du Zhonglin.  Then he was invited to take a seat.  After a few words of greeting, Chu Chen asked with a smile: "Mr. Du, did you bring any good news today?" Du Zhonglin replied: "I don't know if it is good news. He asked me to bring you some good news.  It's said that it's from the house of one of his friends. I asked you if you are interested in some good things." Chu Chen asked, "What's going on?" "That's it" It turns out.  After Du Zhonglin "took office", as usual, he went to the "weirdo"'s house every three to five days. Because he behaved very normally, the other party did not see Du Zhonglin's flaws. However, Du Zhonglin was because the other party always put things away from time to time.  I pitched it to him and almost got into a fight.  Fortunately, this didn't happen.  Last Thursday, Du Zhonglin went to his house again. During this period, when they were chatting about Chu Chen¡¯s museum, Du Zhonglin proudly told the ¡°weirdo¡± that he knew Chu Chen and had a very good relationship with him.  The "weirdo" was very surprised when he heard this, and quickly asked Du Zhonglin what was going on. So, Du Zhonglin told the "weirdo" the joke he had prepared. Since this joke was completed through brainstorming, unless there was  Doubt it, otherwise you will basically not find any flaws in it.  After listening to Du Zhonglin¡¯s account, the ¡°weirdo¡± was just very envious of Du Zhonglin¡¯s ability to become friends with Chu Chen at first, and did not behave strangely.  Until Du Zhonglin went to his place yesterday and was about to say goodbye, he suddenly answered the phone.  "He asked me if I was interested at first. It was really a joke. There were millions of things in total. Even if I was interested, I would be powerless! Didn't he know?!" Du Zhonglin sneered, and then said: "Later I  If he said he couldn't afford it, he asked me to ask you if you were interested. " Chu Chen chuckled and said, "As long as it's good, I'm interested, but he has to tell me what it is, right?  , I can¡¯t just run over to him when someone says he has something good. If that¡¯s the case, I¡¯ll be exhausted!¡± ¡°He¡¯s prepared for this. Here¡¯s the photo he asked me to pick up from his house early in the morning.  It's a coincidence that you happened to be here, saving me a few steps." Du Zhonglin smiled and put an envelope in front of Chu Chen: "Everything in the photo looks good. They are all genuine products.I don¡¯t know if it is actually true or false.  " A total of five items are shown in the photo, a Ding kiln lotus pattern bowl, a Yaozhou kiln sauce-glazed plum vase, a Longquan kiln jade pot spring vase, a bronze ware, and a sapphire carriage. " Among them, the most important  The most precious and rare one is probably the green and white jade carriage in the photo, which has seven horses, divided into two rows, three in the front and four in the back. The front and rear rows are connected by jade chains.  Four horses are lined up to drive the shaft at the same time. The driver is tall and strong, and his hands are like pulling the reins. The rider in the car is tall and fat, with a very high status, and the crown of his head is that of an emperor. In addition, behind the photo, there is also a carriage.  The size is nearly 70 centimeters in length. Not to mention anything else, how much jade material does it cost? In addition, judging from the details in the photo, this carriage should be in the style of the early Western Han Dynasty. If it is indeed authentic.  If so, the value is estimated to be several million. After seeing the photo, Chu Chen said with a smile: "I can't tell the authenticity from the photo, but he told you that these things only cost a few million in total?"  "(To be continued) ps: Thank you to "Reading Books" and "Book Friends 141224170823055" for your monthly votes!
