Zhang Haishan's home is a secret room to collect collections, while the Ye family uses an entire floor as a collection room, like a small museum.

Chen Xiu took a cursory look and found that there were many kinds of things in the collection, including gold, copper, jade, and stone, as well as books, paintings, ancient books, pens, ink, and inkstones in the cultural and entertainment categories.

Of course, in terms of refinement, it is still far inferior to the collections of Zhang Haishan and Tang Ren.

"Ye Hongfei, this old boy, is a rag, he has a lot of things here, but they are miscellaneous but not fine!

Look at this Qianlong gilt pastel plum vase.

This color, this shape, proper pompous local style, if I were killed, I would not have collected such a plum bottle, it is too tasteful!"

Tang Ren directly complained about a plum vase in the Qianlong period in front of him, which used a variety of bright glazes, which looked very colorful and green, which was very different from the plain glaze pursued by the three generations of the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties. Therefore, Qianlong's aesthetics have always been criticized by collectors.

Of course, Qianlong's ostentatious aesthetic pursuit is very popular in the Western world.

Chen Xiu also feels this deeply, a plain and pure white porcelain bottle will make people look pleasing to the eye and calm, but a colorful bottle is confusing when you are in an irritable mood.

"You old man, why are you talking bad about me behind your back!"

An old man in his sixties, who looked very rich, walked out from the side, wearing a large string of red sandalwood bracelets in his left hand, holding a purple clay pot in his hand, and two huge walnuts in his right hand.

"I don't just say it behind my back, I say it to my face. Your taste is the same as Qianlong's second custom!"

Ye Hongfei was not angry, but even more proud, and grinned: "What's wrong with having a taste with the perfect old man, I know that you are jealous that I have more collections here than yours!"

"Phew, my family's collection is not much more expensive. I need to be jealous of you!"

"Old Tang, if you are jealous, you will be jealous, don't admit it. ”

The two have been friends for many years, and they are very familiar with each other, and this kind of bickering is just a daily routine when they meet.

When Ye Hongfei and Tang Ren were arguing, they also saw Chen Xiu on the side, and said to Tang Ren: "Old Tang, is this your illegitimate son outside?

Chen Xiu is face is full of black lines, this old man Ye's mouth is really poisonous enough, and the old man of Yi Zhixing is almost the same virtue.

"Phew!"

Tang Ren patted Chen Xiu's shoulder and said proudly, "This is my grandson-in-law!"

"Wait, let me take a prune. Old Tang, how many granddaughters do you have? If I remember correctly, there is only that girl Yuanyuan. Our family has been pursuing her, and Yuanyuan is empathetic and don't fall in love?!"

Tang Yuanyuan, who was next to Chen Xiu, blushed, and hurriedly explained: "Grandpa Ye, don't listen to my grandfather's nonsense, Chen Xiu and I are just good friends." ”

"What a good friend, if you go further, it's not a boyfriend and girlfriend, and if you go a little further, it's not my grandson-in-law. I think Chen Xiu is a good guy, he is the material for my grandson-in-law!"

"Hey, you old Tang man! I'm not convinced when you say this, is it that our family is worse than him when he flies! In terms of appearance, our family will dump him three streets first as soon as he flies!"

Regarding appearance, Ye Yifei's slap face is a match for the small fresh meat that is now popular, and Chen Xiu is really convinced.

"Lao Ye, how old are you, you don't understand when you live to this age, men don't rely on their faces to eat. Men still have to rely on strength to speak!"

Tang Ren patted Chen Xiu's shoulder and said, "Chen Xiu's treasure appreciation knowledge can throw your family a few streets away!"

"Huh!"

Ye Hongfei and Tang Ren have known each other for more than half a century, and they know Tang Ren the most, knowing that he has never served anyone in Jianbao, and now he actually admires such a young man so much, he looks Chen Xiu up and down.

Chen Xiu was not afraid in the face of Ye Hongfei's gaze, but just smiled, Ye Hongfei nodded with satisfaction, and thought to himself: "There are really not many young people who have this calm mentality!"

"Old Tang said that your treasure appreciation skills are very powerful, are you bragging!" Ye Hongfei glared at Chen Xiu and asked.

"Hmm!"

Chen Xiu did not deny the response, with the increase in the number of antiques and cultural relics he came into contact with during this time, his vision is getting wider and wider, and in terms of his own treasure appreciation ability, Chen Xiu also dares to say that he is not under Zhang Haishan now.

If it was with the blessing of Gu Yu's ability, Chen Xiu could even say that no one was his opponent in terms of the entire Xia Treasure Appreciation.

"It's better for young people to be modest!" Ye Hongfei said with a glare.

"Ye Lao, what you said is not right. Humility is relative to people who have no ability, and some people may not have the ability to live for a long time. So being modest or not has nothing to do with being young or old!"

"Eh, I've seen you arrogant, I haven't seen how arrogant you are!"

Ye Hongfei pointed to an ancient painting hanging behind him and asked, "I'll test you, who do you say this painting is from!"

The ancient painting depicts two chubby water birds, which makes people unable to tell whether they are mandarin ducks or water ducks, especially the top of the bird's head seems to be bald, which looks very funny, and the color is clear and dark.

Chen Xiu laughed all of a sudden, he couldn't know this painting best.

The original version of this painting is Zhao Mengfu's famous "Ting Cao Wen Mandarin Picture". However, this is obviously not the original work, and Zhao Meng has a loyal fan named Qianlong. This is Qianlong's copying work, obviously the Qianlong Emperor's artistic attainments are limited, a bit of a painting tiger into a cat, not only can not show the demeanor of the mandarin duck, but some like painting two stupid geese.

Especially when you look at this eye circle, Zhao Mengfu is just a little bit on the original work, and it feels like the finishing touch, and Emperor Qianlong deliberately circled a circle outside the eyeballs, but it was a bit redundant, and the whole mandarin duck was stunned.

If this painting was not made by Qianlong, the role of historical celebrities can be said to be worthless!

However, even Qianlong's paintings are not worth a few dollars, Qianlong is a young man who loves literature and art, but his artistic attainments are indeed limited, he painted more than 1,400 paintings in his life, more than 10,000 calligraphy and paintings, and more than 30,000 limericks.

At present, the people who collect Qianlong's paintings in the market are either nouveau riche, local tyrants, or newcomers who have just started collecting, or literary and artistic youths with the same artistic vision as Qianlong. ”

Ye Hongfei couldn't help but blush, this painting was purchased at a high price from his collection, but he liked it very much, and he often took it out to show off, at that time, Tang Ren commented on Qianlong's paintings like this, and he was not convinced.
