    Looking at Chen Yingping's home, it is even more unconventional, antique, and all made of mahogany furniture. These furniture use a variety of carving techniques. Regardless of the theme and accessories, the carvings are all delicate and exquisite, which shows the exquisite skills of the craftsmen.  In addition, the furniture and furnishings are very reasonably matched, making people who come here for the first time from a prosperous metropolis feel as if they have entered a quiet peach blossom garden. When Lian Chuchen saw it, he felt in his heart that "a strange and outstanding person is among the people."  "The emotion. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? With mahogany furniture like this?? Not only do you need wealth, but also no connections, it's very difficult to get a complete set like Chen Yingping's house.  Coupled with Chen Yingping's previous performance, it all implies that he is a senior antique player, and his level may not be lower than those of experts.  Chu Chen pretended to be conciliatory on the surface, but in his heart he sneered at Chen Yingping's actions. Since Chen Yingping wanted to transfer the things in his hands because of an urgent matter, then he was here, so why did he talk calmly and want to portray himself as a person in front of him?  The image of a senior player?  "It's just to pave the way for his future actions. Does he really think I'm a fool?" Chu Chen sneered secretly. If it were anyone else, he might have been fooled by Chen Yingping's words and deeds, but now all this is happening.  In his eyes, it was completely superfluous.  However, he has plenty of time anyway. Since Chen Yingping doesn't feel anxious, he won't rush to express his intention and see who can't stand it first.  Seeing that Old God Chu Chen was there and not in a hurry to tell his purpose, Chen Yingping couldn't hold back anymore and said proactively: "Director Chu, I have prepared the things. But it's a little inconvenient to take them out.  Please move to the back room. ""Mr. Chen, you're welcome" Chu Chen smiled slightly, got up and followed Chen Yingping to the back room.  As he walked, Chen Yingping sincerely told Chu Chen the origins of the five items and the "hidden story" behind the "tears" sale.  "Hey! Director Chu, to tell you the truth, the five things in the photo turned out to belong to a nephew of my family. Because the old man in the family was sick and had no money to treat him, he had no choice but to put them on consignment with me." Chu Chen  Nodding, he didn't say anything more. Unless he said that this matter was probably false, even if it was true, it would be inconvenient for him to express his opinion.  Chen Yingping turned on the light in the back room.  Then Chu Chen and Hu Yong were invited to go in. There was an Eight Immortals table in the room, and the things in the photo were placed on this Eight Immortals table.  It should be said that among these five things, the most eye-catching thing is the carriage with green and white jade.  Jade chariots and horses, also called jade chariots, are composed of horses, a shaft, a body, a carriage, an axle, a wheel, a driver, and passengers of the emperor and nobles.  The various parts are combined to form a complete set of carriages and horses. The wheels can rotate at the same time, which shows the sophistication of the utensils.     not to mention.  You know, the jade of this horse carriage is from the same jade at a glance.  The length of this trailer is nearly seventy centimeters, even if some of the material cut from the jade can be reused.  However, a considerable part of the materials may have been discarded, which shows its level of luxury.     and.  Chu Chen finally determined that this horse-drawn carriage was indeed an authentic item from the early Western Han Dynasty, and its rarity goes without saying.  Seeing that Chu Chen had appraised the green and white jade carriage, Chen Yingping quickly asked: "Director Chu, how is this jade?" Chu Chen smiled and nodded: "Not bad." Chen Yingping seemed relieved when he heard this,  He smiled and said: "That's good. I'm not very proficient in jade. I was originally worried that it would have problems. But when Director Chu said that, I felt relieved." Chu Chen chuckled, and then asked: "Mr. Chen,  I'd like to ask a question." Chen Yingping nodded and said, "Please tell me, but if you want to ask where this thing comes from, I really don't know." "I don't care about that." Chu Chen shook his head and said.  : "I'm just curious. Since your nephew can afford such a treasure, and these four things, at least for now, are all treasures, then why can't he even afford to pay for his illness?"  "Hey! It's all his fault." Chen Yingping shook his head and sighed: "It turns out that he also opened a factory, which was very profitable, and he was also well-known among us. But since then, he has become obsessed with it.  The antiques were out of control, and he no longer had the time to care about them. He focused on them all day long. After a few years, the factory closed down and all his family¡¯s money was spent on antiques.  , he didn¡¯t listen, and it wasn¡¯t until the old man was ill that he couldn¡¯t get any money out, that he repented and said he would give up antiques and live an honest life from now on.¡± At this point, he sighed again: ¡°Hey, you.  Why do people have to suffer in order to learn a lesson?Chen Yingping's emotional look at that moment seemed to be completely genuine, which made Chu Chen a little confused as to whether he was facing a situation now.  If it is indeed a game, then Chen Yingping's acting skills are too high, completely comparable to the world's best actors.  But what Chen Yingping said next made Chu Chen doubtful again. Is this really a game?  But if it was a game, wouldn't this be handled a bit too harshly?  "That's right!" Chen Yingping seemed to suddenly remember something, and said to Chu Chen with some embarrassment: "Director Chu, there is something I want to tell you in advance. My nephew said that these five things must be  Package them and sell them together." "Sell them together?" Chu Chen was stunned and said with some surprise: "Mr. Chen, let's not talk about the price first, just in case the remaining four items are included.  What should I do if there are fakes? " "Who says it's not true?" Chen Yingping said helplessly, "I told him so, but he is sure that his things are genuine. I don't know what to say to him."  Chen chuckled: "Then let's talk based on the facts" Among the remaining four things, the first thing that came into Chu Chen's eyes was the bronze vessel and the bronze lei (pronounced Tonglei).  Lei is a kind of wine vessel.  It is more common from the late Shang Dynasty to the mid-Spring and Autumn Period.  Among them, "The Book of Songs Zhou Nanjuan Er" sings: "I will drink that golden lei, so that I will never cherish it forever." The golden lei.  That is, bronze keel, mostly made by the lost wax method.  Lei utensils are available in both square and round shapes.  Square Lei was mostly seen in the late Shang Dynasty, while round Lei was extended from the Shang Dynasty to the early Zhou Dynasty.  It is said that Fang Lei is extremely rare.  Only a few pieces exist.  The bronze Lei in front of Chu Chen is a square Lei from the Shang Dynasty. Its body is square in cross-section, with a square mouth, straight neck, curved shoulders, bulging belly, and square-circled feet.  The joint between the shoulders and abdomen is the largest part of the body, and the abdominal wall slopes down from there to form the bottom.  Both sides of the shoulders are decorated with animal heads and ears, standing abruptly in the air; the front and back are decorated with high-relief animal heads on the top, and an animal head is placed below the abdomen.  The top and bottom responded, with a solemn demeanor.  Four ridges fly down from the shoulders, giving people the feeling of standing thousands of feet high on a wall.  The whole vessel has various levels of decoration, with varying depths, ups and downs, and all kinds of reliefs are integrated into one wall.  Among them are thunder patterns, swirl patterns, deformed long triangular Kui patterns, and a high-relief beast in the center of the shoulder. The craftsmanship is quite exquisite and can be called a treasure.  What is even more valuable is that Chu Chen is on the inner edge of the Lei mouth.  He found an inscription pattern engraved on it. He carefully identified it and determined that it must be the family emblem.  The clan emblem, also known as the "clan inscription", is a pattern that represents the name of the clan.  Guo Moruo called it "the clan emblem that marks the system."  Inscriptions began with single-character family emblems. Before the middle of the Shang Dynasty, there were almost no inscriptions on bronzes. In the middle period, inscriptions with one character or family emblems began to appear.  Later simplified and refined into words.  The number of characters gradually increased, reaching dozens to hundreds of characters by the Western Zhou Dynasty.  In the middle of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there were even long inscriptions of two to three hundred words.  Chu Chen has never seen the inscription represented by the clan emblem of this instrument in various precious books.  In other words, it is probably a clan emblem that has not been discovered before. It has a very high research value and also increases the value of the whole device.  Chu Chen estimated that the value of such a precious and rare bronze relic would not be much lower than that of the blue and white jade carriage next to it. The combined value of the two items would be nearly seven to eight million.  As for the remaining lotus pattern bowls from Ding Kiln, sauce-glazed plum vase from Yaozhou Kiln and jade pot spring vases from Longquan Kiln, if they are genuine, no matter how low their value is, they cannot be less than 3 million. The combined value of the five items is,  Over 10 million is very easy.  But in fact, among these three pieces of porcelain, only the Yaozhou kiln sauce-glazed plum vase was authentic, and the remaining two were fakes. What Chu Chen found a little strange was that although these two items were well made,  It's fake, but the producer is probably not Cai Jianxuan.  Because Chu Chen did not find any clues left by Cai Jianxuan from above. What's more, these two items did not reach Cai Jianxuan's production level.  "What are they planning to do?" Chu Chen was very confused about this. Could it be that the reason why he was called here was because these people wanted to tell him that they had nothing to do with Cai Jianxuan?  But if it¡¯s really just to tell yourself such a piece of news, then there¡¯s no need to go through so much trouble, right?  After thinking about it, Chu Chen didn't come up with a reason: "Forget it, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it up with the soil." "Director Chu, what do you think of these things?" Chen Yingping asked.  .  "Well" Just when Chu Chen was about to point out the two pieces of problematic porcelain, he suddenly had an idea and said with a smile: "It's okay, I don't know about the price?" When Chen Yingping heard this, he seemed relieved and said with a smile"Director Chu, I think you should know the preciousness of these things. Since you are an expert, and my nephew is in urgent need of money, I won't pay for nothing, just twelve million, what do you think?"  How about it? " If they are all genuine products, twelve million is indeed a relatively generous price, but among the three pieces of porcelain, the two most valuable ones are fakes. It doesn't take much to know whether Chu Chen is  would agree.  However, Chu Chen did not refuse immediately. He wanted to see what script was coming next, so he smiled and said: "Mr. Chen, your price is a little different from what I heard before. My friend brought me  Tell me, but only a few million is enough." "How many million?" Chen Yingping was startled, then shook his head and said, "He must have heard wrong, a few million is definitely possible." "That's a lot.  A few million, after all, 9.99 million is still a few million," Chu Chen said with a smile.  Chen Yingping pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "If you agree, Director Chu, I can agree to it for 9.99 million!" Chu Chen thought about it, removed the two fakes, and left the three remaining items.  , the market value should be around 8.5 million, but jade and bronze are rare treasures.  It's easy to get a high price on the auction market, if you really buy it for 9.99 million.  Not only may you not lose money, but you may also make a profit at the auction.  But then again.  Chu Chen would definitely not be able to transfer such a thing to others if he bought it. If he bought it at the current price, he would definitely lose money for the time being. What's more, he also wanted to see what tricks Chen Yingping wanted to play.  Therefore, he planned to wait and see.  "Mr. Chen, to tell you the truth, I am not very satisfied with some of these things. The price of 9.99 million is not something I can accept very well!" Chen Yingping was shocked when he heard this:  "Ah! You mean there is something wrong with the remaining items?" Chu Chen shook his head: "It's hard to say, and I'm not sure. In fact, if you agree to sell them separately, I will  There won¡¯t be any worries.¡± Chen Yingping said with some embarrassment: ¡°Director Chu, if the thing is mine, I will definitely agree to it. But I don¡¯t have much autonomy now. How about I call and ask?¡±  "Okay" After Chen Yingping walked out of the room, Hu Yong asked in a low voice: "Brother Chu. Are these things true or false?" Chu Chen replied: "Some are true and some are false." "Oh." Hu Yong nodded.  He nodded: "You told me before that this person has problems, but I think he is normal. If it is acting, then this person is too good. He can definitely become an actor, and maybe he can win a job.  Movie king or something." Chu Chen said with a smile: "What you said makes sense. However, in our antique industry, there are not many such talents, otherwise not so many people would be deceived by this." "Hu Yong.  He smiled: "In this case, those directors can go to antique markets all over the country to recruit actors. With the level of these people, I don't believe that the TV series will be popular." Chu Chen laughed when he heard this and was about to prepare.  When he was speaking, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside, and he quickly waved his hand to signal to stop talking.  Immediately afterwards, Chen Yingping walked in and said with some embarrassment: "Director Chu, I'm really sorry. My nephew doesn't agree to the separation, and it's hard for him to believe that there is a problem." "That's it" Chu Chen pondered.  After a while, he raised his head and said, "I'm really embarrassed by this price!" "Uh" Chen Yingping thought for a moment and said, "How about this? If I make the decision again, it'll be 9.5 million."  , No matter how small it is, I won¡¯t be able to explain it.¡± After hearing this, Chu Chen looked at a few things again, and in the end his expression still showed that he was somewhat indifferent about the authenticity of the treasure.  Chen Yingwen saw Chu Chen's doubts and immediately acted extra warm and hospitable.  He said considerately: "Director Chu, you know that friends who come from afar are honored guests. We are not interested in this business. Since you can't decide for a while, let's have dinner first." Chu Chen looked at the time.  It was indeed getting late, and since he had not yet achieved his goal, he agreed with a smile.  Afterwards, Chen Yingping took the two of them to a small restaurant a few miles away. Not to mention, although the restaurant was small and well-equipped, the food tasted quite good, not bad at all compared to some well-known restaurants.  However, while eating, Chu Chen had a doubt. Was he the only one in Chen Yingping's family?  Isn't such a big house deserted?  Even if you are used to this kind of life, cleaning is not easy!  But Chen Yingping's house is very clean. Does anyone clean it regularly?    You know, this is still the countryside in 2002. Don¡¯t you think this situation is too strange?  So, after drinking for three rounds, Chu Chen pretended to raise this question unintentionally. However, Chen Yingping, who had drunk wine, obviously did not react as sharply as before. He was a little unprepared at first. After being stunned for a long time, he said that he had not been around since his early years.  After he was widowed, he has been living here and has become accustomed to it. In order to honor him, his children spent a lot of money to decorate it for him, and sent people to clean it every once in a while.  Although Chen Yingping reacted quickly, the trace of confusion and panic in his eyes was caught by Chu Chen, which made him sneer and thought: "Let's see what tricks you are going to play!"  Finally, Chen Yingping answered another call and happily told Chu Chen that his nephew was coming from Shimen and was going to talk to Chu Chen in person. He hoped that Chu Chen would not go back right away.  Of course Chu Chen agreed. Not to mention that he hadn¡¯t figured out what kind of play he was performing today, he would not give up on jade or bronze easily. From this point of view.  In fact, it can be regarded as achieving the goal of these people.  Chen Yingwen told Chu Chen that his nephew would not be back for more than two hours.  Therefore, he wanted to invite Chu Chen to visit local places of interest.  It¡¯s okay to be idle anyway.  Chu Chen agreed. Next, Chen Yingwen took the two of them to visit several nearby attractions. In the blink of an eye, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, but Chen Yingwen's nephew didn't even have a phone call.  Chu Chen felt very strange.  Just when Chu Chen was about to ask questions, Chen Yingwen's cell phone rang. After answering the phone.  He also told Chu Chen with some embarrassment that his nephew's elder suddenly became critically ill. His nephew walked back halfway and then returned. He also said that he would probably not be able to get here today and apologized to Chu Chen.  After telling the whole story, Chen Yingwen said with an apologetic look: "Director Chu, I'm really sorry for wasting your time. What I mean is this, if you are not busy, you can stay with me. Wait until he comes over tomorrow.  , you can talk about it in detail.¡± ¡°Then if I have to go back to Beijing for something, can you bring my things to the capital?¡± Chu Chen asked.  Chen Yingwen hesitated and said: "This is a bit difficult. In fact, I told my nephew. I asked him to bring the things to the capital to sell. It would be convenient for buyers to sell more, but he just refused. He said that the bronze ware belt  Going to the capital might cause unnecessary trouble, and he is also worried about any accidents on the road. " "After all, his only valuable possessions are these antiques, and it would be unbearable for him to have any mistakes.  , I hope you can understand me!" In this regard, besides saying that he would not mind, what could Chu Chen say?  You can't force the other party to take things to the capital, right?  Of course, the most important thing now is that he wants to figure out what the other party means. Otherwise, there is no problem with him just spending money to buy the thing.  But looking at it now, Chen Yingping seemed to be planning to keep him here. Was he planning to do something wrong at night?  You know, he is about to become a father now, and even for the sake of his family, he wants to put himself at risk.  But he still felt a little unwilling to let him go back like this.  After thinking about it, Chu Chen said: "Mr. Chen, I will live in Baozhou today, but I still have some things to deal with online, so I won't live with you." Of course Chen Yingwen will not force this, he  He smiled and said it was no problem, and asked Chu Chen for his mobile phone number, saying that he would contact him if anything happened.   It was a peaceful night. Early the next morning, after Chu Chen and Hu Yong had breakfast in the hotel, they received a call from Chen Yingwen. He told Chu Chen very apologetically on the phone that because the old man was not out of danger,  Today his nephew might not be able to keep his appointment on time again.  He said that if Chu Chen was willing, he could be Chu Chen's tour guide and then visit local places of interest.  Hearing the news, Chu Chen couldn't help but frowned. It was definitely not a problem if this continued. It couldn't be said that if Chen Yingwen's nephew didn't come for a day, he wouldn't go back for a day. In the end, he would have to spend more money to buy the house.  Apart from a few antiques, the key point is that we still haven¡¯t figured out what the other party is up to. Isn¡¯t this playing tricks on people?  Maybe because he felt sorry for Chu Chen, Chen Yingwen told Chu Chen on the phone that if his nephew wasn't here tomorrow, Chu Chen could buy them separately, and he could also give Chu Chen a nine buckle.  Hearing this proposal, Chu Chen agreed on the surface, but sneered in his heart. He wanted to see why the other party promised so many benefits.  Of course, for his own safety, he also mobilized his troops and generals to ensure his own safety.  In addition, Chu Chen did not agree to Chen Yingwen to take them to visit the local places of interest, but wanted to arrange the itinerary by himself. The destination was the local antique market.    Since today is Sunday and they arrived a little late, when Chu Chen and Hu Yong arrived at the antique market, the place was already crowded and bustling.  Chu Chen and the others went to a relatively famous antique market in Baozhou. At this time, the place looked full of "treasure", and the stalls were also full of antiques and rare objects, including ceramic vessels of different shapes and ornaments.  There are furnace tripods cast from ancient metals; there are some vaguely signed or clear carvings and seals; there are also paintings by famous artists with different styles; there are both huge ancient farm tools and exquisite and small accessories and pendants(  To be continued. )?¡­
