    Putting away his phone, Chu Chen murmured in his heart, what was going on with these two guys? Didn't they say they couldn't make the appointment on time today?  Why are we in Baozhou now? Is it a plan or something happened?  It seems that I need to be more careful.  ¡ð However, now that the enemy is hiding and we are hiding, it is useless to think too much, so Chu Chen prepared to go with Hu Yong to the hotel that Chen Yingping mentioned on the phone.  At this time, Wen Haoyang asked incredulously: "Excuse me, are you Director Chu of the Zenghua Museum?" Seeing Chu Chen nodding to confirm, a look of annoyance, disbelief, and extreme regret flashed across his face.  Chu Chen couldn't bear it.  Of course, Chu Chen had no intention of returning the things to Wen Haoyang. Not to mention anything else, he had come here this way. Before he had no powers, he had missed many treasures. He felt sorry for Wen Haoyang.  Who can pity yourself?  Besides, Wen Haoyang is still so young, so it's not like he can't live anymore.  After a while, Wen Haoyang came back to his senses. He sighed and said: "Hey! I originally thought that this was Lao Gong's choice for me, and there would be no treasures. I didn't expect that I was mistaken. However,  Director Chu, please tell me what is unique about this ancient lock, otherwise I will definitely not be able to sleep at night." Chu Chen looked at the time and realized that it was still early, plus the one Chen Yingping was talking about.  The hotel was only a five-minute walk away, so I took out the ancient lock from the plastic bag.  "Mr. Wen, do you know Guangsuo?" "What is Guangsuo?" Wen Haoyang asked sheepishly.  Chu Chen replied with a smile: "Guangsuo is this kind of horizontal lock. Folks call it 'horizontal lock', 'pillow lock', etc. Guangsuo has been widely used in doors, boxes, kitchens, etc. since the Tang Dynasty.  Cabinets, etc. There are more than a hundred kinds, and quite a few of the ancient locks we see now are Guangsuo" Speaking of ancient locks, everyone is familiar with them. They were almost indispensable daily necessities for every household.  Our country has a long history of locks. Wooden locks were discovered at the Yangshao Cultural Site in the Neolithic Age, bronze locks appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and metal locks were invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty, with patterns of animals and insects such as dragons, leopards, unicorns, turtles, butterflies, etc.  In the Tang Dynasty, gold, silver, copper, iron and other materials were commonly used to make locks.  The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the heyday of ancient locks, and locks of various materials developed simultaneously.  Most of them are copper locks and iron locks, with more sophisticated craftsmanship and great innovations in unlocking difficulty and appearance manufacturing.  For example, the three-color copper locks of the Ming Dynasty, the white crane locks of the Qing Dynasty, password locks, secret door locks, four-opening locks, reverse pull locks, and locks in the shapes of various characters, animals, and characters are all beautiful.  The clumsiness of ancient locks hides ingenuity, simplicity reveals beauty, the rich symbolic workmanship, the wonderful inner artistic conception, and the strange conception bring us into a mysterious and colorful artistic realm, so as to obtain a higher level of aesthetic enjoyment.     Therefore.  Although nowadays, with the development of science and technology and the improvement of living standards, ancient locks have long withdrawn from the stage of history, but their collection value is gradually being recognized by the market, and their higher appreciation space is increasingly highlighted.  Become the new favorite in the collection market.  ¡°The ancient lock in Chu Chen¡¯s hand is worth about 50,000 yuan, and it is becoming more and more recognized by the market.  He estimated that it wouldn't take long.  The value will be doubled.  Wen Haoyang seemed very disappointed when he learned the value of this ancient lock.  However, the price of 50,000 is still within his tolerance range. If it were hundreds of thousands or millions, he might collapse.  Wen Haoyang calmed down and then asked: "Director Chu, what age is this ancient lock?" Chu Chen explained: "This is actually a silver-engraved flower lock from the Song Dynasty." This one.  The silver engraved lock consists of two parts: lock and key.  The key is flat, with a rounded head, a plain face, a ring head, and a plain carved handle.  The handle is surrounded by incised single-line patterns, and the middle is decorated with four groups of positive-engraved single lines, wrapped with branches and precious flowers.  The upper part of the lock is a horizontal bar, and the raised parts at both ends are each molded with a budding Baoxiang flower.  The lower part is a horizontal lock body, with hollow comb-like decorations at both ends; the middle is a box-shaped lock body, with a horizontal convex keyhole on one side, and the surface is decorated with a double-inscribed Ruyi pattern set off by a beaded pattern, with the center  The protruding parts are decorated with incised lines and patterns as boundaries, symmetrical to the left and right, and the protruding parts at both ends are decorated with incised lines and multiple patterns.  Chu Chen continued: "This ancient lock is beautiful in style and exquisitely made. It is considered to be the best among the silver locks handed down from the Song Dynasty. However, the quality of this silver lock is a little different, otherwise, the value would be even higher."  When Wen Haoyang heard the last word, he nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, actually, the reason why I was mistaken was also because of the condition. I also know that silver will turn black, but it won't turn black like this. Almost the whole lock will be black."  It¡¯s dark.¡± Chu Chen smiled slightly, this was also Wen Haoyang¡¯s words.If he wasn't careful, if he had some knowledge of silverware, he wouldn't be mistaken. Of course, he would definitely not say this in front of Wen Haoyang.  Due to time constraints, Chu Chen chatted with Wen Haoyang for a few more words, and then said goodbye to him.  I hurried to the restaurant that Chen Yingping mentioned, but happened to meet Chen Yingping's uncle and nephew at the door. Chen Yingping's nephew looked about thirty-seven or eighty years old, but maybe because he was fatter and took good care of himself, his real age was still  Be bigger.  He looked a bit like Chen Yingping, which made Chu Chen wonder, could these two really be uncles and nephews?  After Chen Yingping introduced his nephew to Chu Chen, the two parties walked into the hotel while greeting each other, and then followed the waiter to a private room.  After letting the waiter serve tea first, Chen Yingping's nephew Chen Laiming said impatiently: "Director Chu, the hospital doesn't have much money. Let's negotiate the sale now. What do you think?" "No problem.  "Chu Chen replied with a smile.  Chen Laiming nodded and said: "Director Chu, let's open the skylight and speak frankly. First of all, I no longer want to get involved in the antique business. I don't plan to have any of these things." Chu Chen said  : "Mr. Chen, I can understand your mood, but I can't see things accurately. Wouldn't I lose money if I buy it?" Chen Laiming frowned: "Director Chu, I wonder if you can tell me what it is.  Which thing are you not sure about?" "That's no problem" Chu Chen pointed out the two problematic pieces of porcelain and gave some of his own opinions.  Then he stared at Chen Yingping's uncle and nephew to see what their reactions were.  The uncle and nephew acted very surprised, as if they didn't know there was something wrong with these two things before. This made Chu Chen and Hu Yong a little admired. If they hadn't discovered some clues, they wouldn't believe it.  I am currently acting.  After a while, Chen Laiming said with a look of shame: "Director Chu, in that case, I will keep those two things by myself. As for the remaining three things, I count you 8.8 million, I know.  The price is a bit expensive, but in business, I also have to consider the cost. At worst, I will take out the auction company to auction it. Apart from a little trouble, I will definitely sell it for 8.8 million. " Chu Chen thought for a while.  , said: "Okay, let's pay according to the price you said." Seeing that Chu Chen agreed, Chen Laiming quickly expressed his thanks, and then he said a little embarrassedly: "Director Chu, you also know my situation.  Can you pay a deposit or something first? It doesn¡¯t need to be much, just 20,000 or 30,000, so I can pay for the medical expenses.¡± If they are acquaintances, it¡¯s okay to pay a deposit. The key is that these two people are not familiar with each other, and Chu Chen doesn¡¯t know them.  He might also be in the same group as Cai Jianxuan. Although twenty or thirty thousand is not much, it would be really disgusting if the other party took the money and ran away.  Chen Yingping frowned and said: "Laiming, if your things are not here, how can you ask Director Chu to pay a deposit? Besides, Director Chu and you have only known each other for a while, so it is really hard for you to make such a request.  That¡¯s great.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not in a hurry!¡± Chen Laiming said awkwardly.  "Since you are in a hurry, why didn't you agree when I gave it to you just now?" Chen Yingping blew his beard and glared.  Chen Laiming said quickly: "How can I ask for your money? Besides, it's not convenient for you now" Chen Yingping waved his hand and interrupted him: "Okay, okay, don't talk about this.  No matter how inconvenient I am, I can still get twenty or thirty thousand. Please give me your account number and I will transfer the money to the bank next door. " Hearing this, Chu Chen secretly laughed, and the two of them sang together, just to draw out the meaning.  Chen Yingping had something inconvenient to do, so they probably just wanted to make some fuss about it.  Even so, he stopped answering to see what they were going to do.  Seeing Chu Chen drinking tea indifferently, the uncle and nephew seemed a little surprised. After a while of silence, Chen Laiming said: "Uncle, forget it. You have lost so much in business at Laifeng, so you should keep your money."  "Let him use it." "How can this be done? It's important to save people. Give me your account number!" Chen Yingping insisted on letting Chen Laiming give him his bank account number.  Chen Laiming had no choice but to hand over the account number to Chen Yingping. Then Chen Yingping said hello to Chu Chen and went to the bank next door to use the teller machine to transfer money.  When Chen Yingping walked out of the private room, Chen Laiming said to Chu Chen with some embarrassment: "Director Chu, I'm really sorry. I was a little sick and had to seek medical attention urgently." Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand to indicate that it was okay. He asked with a smile.  "Mr. Chen, are you sure you can let Mr. Chen go and transfer the money alone?" Chen Laiming was choked by these words. After a moment, he chuckled and said, "My uncle has a strong temper."??I don't like to be looked down upon by others. If I follow him, he will definitely be angry.  " Chu Chen smiled and nodded, thinking, even so, Chen Yingping is already so old after all, and he is helping himself transfer money. How can a normal person not follow him and take a look when encountering such a thing? " Because Chu Chen  Chen's question made the atmosphere a little strange, which surprised Chen Yingping, who turned around after a while. Chen Yingping glanced at Chen Laiming inadvertently, and then said with a smile: "It's almost time, let's order.  " (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
