Hearing Professor Li Huachang's explanation, everyone was a little surprised.

Chen Dong didn't expect to be able to find such a treasure in the night market of a thrift market, no wonder the price in the stall system is so high, it turns out that there is really an article here.

Chen Dong: "Professor Li, if it's really like what you said, how much can this Xuande furnace sell for?"

This is what Chen Dong is most concerned about, the reason why he deliberately went to Jingzhou is that in addition to traveling with Chen Xi and his family, he mainly wants to go on the treasure show to see the value of this Xuande furnace.

Li Huachang shook his head slightly: "It's hard to say, if you look at the history and the development of bronze ware, it naturally has a relatively high value, as for the collection value, I don't know." ”

Chen Dong: ".........."

After being busy for a long time, Li Huachang couldn't tell how much this thing was worth.

"But I have a friend who collects, and if you don't mind, I can ask him to take a look at it for you. Li Huachang said sharply.

Chen Dong: "Great, Professor Li, then please ask your friend to help take a look." ”

Li Huachang raised his hand and looked at his watch, and took out a very old mobile phone from his pocket.

There are not many people who use this kind of mobile phone now, it is an old-fashioned Nokia flip phone, and the paint on the body has fallen off in some places.

A person so famous can't even afford a mobile phone, right?

Of course, Chen Dong would not be stupid enough to really think so, it is estimated that there should be some story about this call, or it is difficult to say if it was sent by someone's wife.

Answering the phone, Li Huachang walked out and came back a few minutes later.

Li Huachang: "My friend has some things over there that I can't leave for the time being, but I will rush over as soon as I finish the matter." ”

Chen Dong: "Thank you, Professor Li, you see that this is also noon, if you don't mind, can I treat you to a meal?"

Li Huachang smiled and waved his hand: "I won't go to dinner, I still have to go home to accompany my wife, you go to eat, I have made an appointment with my friend, and I will be here at half past one in the afternoon." ”

Chen Dong glanced at Liang Jing and Zhang Ru next to him.

They waved their hands in unison.

After Li Huachang left, Chen Dong took a few people to a restaurant near Jingzhou University, and Chen Dong learned from Liang Jing.

This Li Huachang rarely participates in some social occasions.

Chen Dong: "Professor Li and his lover should be very special, right?"

After Chen Dong finished speaking, Liang Jing and Zhang Ru's expressions froze.

Zhang Ru: "Chen Dong, Professor Li's lover died of illness the year before last. ”

Chen Dong: "????"

Chen Xi: "Sister Zhang Ru, is Professor Li marrying a new wife?"

Zhang Ru shook his head: "Many people at Jingzhou University know that Professor Li loves his wife very much, it is said that the two met when they were studying abroad, Professor Li's lover is very beautiful, and we also saw her come to the department to find Professor Li when we first entered the school. Later, during a physical examination, Professor Li's lover was diagnosed with cancer, and Professor Li took a long leave of absence for this reason, and went to many hospitals at home and abroad.

But in the end, Professor Li's lover passed away, did you see the phone in his hand just now?"

Chen Dong nodded with Chen Xi.

"If my guess is correct, then the mobile phone should be given to him by Professor Li's lover, right?" Chen Dong said.

, Liang Jing nodded: "That's right, it is said that the mobile phone was given to him by his lover when Professor Li was young." ”

Chen Xi: "Why did Professor Li say that he would go home to accompany his wife just now?"

After Chen Xi asked, Liang Jing and Zhang Ru were a little gloomy.

Professor Li is also quite pitiful, after the death of his lover, he has always refused to admit this fact, and every day he goes home on time to cook, saying that it is made for his lover. So you should be careful not to ask Professor Li about his lover in front of him. ”

Chen Dong nodded.

"Does Professor Li have no children?"

Chen Xi couldn't help but ask.

"It is said that there is a son who was abducted by traffickers when he was young because he was busy with work, and he is still missing. ”

Well, this Li Huachang is really bumpy.

Several people chatted in the restaurant for a while, and most of the topics were about Li Huachang.

From the mouths of Liang Jing and Zhang Ru, Chen Dong heard a lot of things about him. I have to say that this person is really a very strange person.

The reason why he is strange is because of his temper.

Among the older generation of experts and scholars at Jingzhou University, his temper is notoriously smelly and hard, and if it were based on the current situation of the archaeology department, the school would have adjusted this major a long time ago. It was because of him here that the school didn't dare to make this decision several times when it wanted to adjust.

Seeing that the time was about the same, several people returned to the archaeology department of Kyungshu University.

1:25 points.

Li Huachang, who wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, came here.

1:30 a.m.

Li Huachang's friend who likes to collect came to the Department of Archaeology on time.

"Lao Li, it's the first time in so many years that you have taken the initiative to call me, haha, did you really see the baby?"

The man looks the same age as Li Huachang, but he has a little more elegance.

The two of them look like a university professor, and Li Huachang is more like the neighbor's old man.

"Qingfeng, don't make fun of me, you big tyrant, you're busy all day long, where is it my turn to call you. ”

Li Huachang smiled and introduced: "This is my old classmate and old friend Zhang Qingfeng, who used to be a master of the Department of Archaeology of Jingzhou University, but now he is the boss, and he can't look down on this job." ”

Zhang Qingfeng smiled: "Lao Li, you will damage me." ”

"This is the owner of the Xuande furnace I told you, Chen Dong, you came here to help take a look at this Xuande furnace. ”

Chen Dong: "Hello Professor Zhang, I'm sorry for your trouble. ”

Chen Dong hurriedly took the initiative to greet Zhang Qingfeng.

Hearing Chen Dong's title, Zhang Qingfeng also laughed: "Haha, I haven't heard Professor Zhang's title for many years, but it sounds comfortable, young man, where is your Xuande furnace? ”

"Here. ”

After speaking, Chen Dong hurriedly put the suitcase on the table, opened the suitcase gently, and the Xuande furnace appeared in front of Zhang Qingfeng.

This time, Chen Dong was not stupid enough to take it directly with his hands.

Seeing the Xuande furnace, Zhang Qingfeng hurriedly took out a pair of gloves and a magnifying glass from his pocket.

I don't know if these guys carry these things with them.

Zhang Qingfeng also looked at it very carefully, especially the Lu character on the inner wall of the Xuande furnace.

"Young man, where did this Xuande furnace come from?"

After looking at it for a long time, Zhang Qingfeng took off his gloves and put down his magnifying glass and asked.

Chen Dong said honestly: "I bought it for 200,000 yuan at the night market of the thrift market. ”

"Young man, do you know how to collect?" Zhang Qingfeng asked.

Chen Dong shook his head slightly: "Professor Zhang, how dare I say that I know what to do in front of you and Professor Li, but I came into contact with some when I used to set up a stall." ”

Zhang Qingfeng: "If it's an ordinary Xuande furnace, this price is not low, how dare you buy it?"

Chen Dong: "I just think that this copper furnace is a little different, and I can't say what the difference is, so why don't I come to Professor Li for help?" ”

"Hoo ....."

Zhang Qingfeng helped the frame of his glasses: "Young man, you have made a fortune, this Xuande furnace is a priceless treasure." ”

"Lao Li, you should know about Lu Zhen's supervision of the Xuande Furnace, right?" Zhang Qingfeng turned his head to look at Li Huachang and asked.

Li Huachang: "Of course I know, according to the records of the Ming Dynasty, Lu Zhen was a famous craftsman in the Ming Dynasty, and after entering the palace, he won the trust of the emperor, otherwise he would not have handed over the matter of making the Xuande furnace to him." ”

Li Huachang smiled: "Lao Li, then do you remember how the first Xuande furnace was made in the history of the wild?"

Li Huachang nodded: "That's natural, it is said that in order to refine the Xuande furnace, Lu Zhen wasted a lot of valuable materials, after seven hundred and forty-nine days of refining, the first Xuande furnace was finally refined, and it is said that Lu Zhen specially engraved a Lu character in it in order to commemorate." ”

Zhang Qingfeng nodded: "That's right, so if my estimate is correct, then this Xuande furnace with no bottom money and Lu characters engraved on the inner wall is the first Xuande furnace that Lu Zhen refined by himself." ”
