The birdcage is a little old, the cage strips have become yellow, and in some places it has even turned black, Chen Ran also knows a little bit about ivory, knowing that this is the characteristic of ivory. To read the latest chapters, please lock the biquge.info of Aishang Novels
Generally speaking, ivory carving artworks, after a long time, the surface begins to yellow, and then gradually changes from light yellow to turmeric, dark yellow, until light brown, and the same ivory is often different shades of color.
The red sunflower standing on the bird bar is also very beautiful, and when he saw Uncle Luo, he screamed happily, and his cry was a little shy.
"I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it." Uncle Luo shook his head and sighed softly while teasing Red Sleeves: "For me, Red Sleeves is not only a red sunflower bird, but also a junior of mine, and there are many stories in it." For so many years, I have always had a knot in my heart, and if this knot is not unraveled, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life. Hey, money can't buy these things......"
"Lao Luo!" Grandma Luo exclaimed in a trembling voice.
……
In the end, Uncle Luo still did not transfer the red sunflower bird and the bird cage to Chen Ran.
A pair of twelve red butterfly tails, Uncle Luo also insisted on letting Chen Ran take them away, saying that he didn't want anything, and Chen Ran refused to take them away, the two even quarreled about it, Chen Ran even said that if Uncle Luo didn't want it, he would immediately smash the fish tank and let the pair of twelve red butterfly tails fend for themselves, Uncle Luo was so angry that he almost beat Chen Ran with a mop.
In the end, Grandma Luo pulled the two of them apart, and then gave the two of them a compromise.
A pair of twelve red butterfly tails, Uncle Luo left one, and Chen Ran took one. Originally, Uncle Luo refused, but Grandma Luo persuaded him that he already had Chen Ran's contact information, and when the time came, let their son send the money to Chen Ran, and Uncle Luo gave up.
Chen Ran naturally didn't say anything, his goal had been achieved, it didn't matter if he sent one or two, he knew that both he and Uncle Luo knew that twelve red butterfly tails like this were unattainable, and they couldn't be bought with money.
The one left behind was the one that Uncle Luo looked at like the red butterfly he had raised before.
Although the birdcage did not arrive in the end, Chen Ran was not without gains, at least Uncle Luo's attitude towards him changed.
"Young man, did Old Man Luo not agree?" Lao Huang was watching others play chess in the pavilion, but he saw Chen Ran walking out of Uncle Luo's house with a fish tank from a distance, and walked towards Chen Ran.
Chen Ran smiled slightly bitterly and nodded.
"This damn old man's temper still stinks!" Lao Huang muttered a few times, roughly saying that Uncle Luo was famous for his bad temper in this area, and there were some discords with many neighbors nearby, so he walked in front of Chen Ran and looked down at the twelve red butterfly tails: "Oh, this fish is really beautiful, I haven't seen it for many years, the first time I saw it was the one in Old Man Luo's house, and at that time I could envy us to death, especially his red sunflower bird, he was very rare at that time, and we often secretly teased and played." ”
Lao Huang laughed happily as he spoke.
"Do you like it too?" Chen Ran raised his head and asked.
Lao Huang nodded: "This fish is so beautiful, who doesn't like it!" ”
Chen Ran was silent for a moment, and suddenly said to Lao Huang: "Since you like it too, then I'll give it to you." ”
Lao Huang was stunned and looked at Chen Ran in surprise: "Young man, aren't you joking, this thing costs a lot of money, how can you say that you can send it." ”
"It's not worth much, you always like it, just play with it."
"No! You might as well sell it, you can sell it for a lot of money. Lao Huang kept shaking his head, saying that he didn't want anything, and since Chen Ran had this thought, seeing that Lao Huang liked it again, he thought about giving it to him.
The two of them let go for a while, Lao Huang saw that Chen Ran really wanted to give it to him, thought about it, and said to Chen Ran: "Young man, let's do it, how about you follow me to my house first?" ”
Chen Ran was puzzled, but he still nodded, he also hoped to get more things about Uncle Luo from Lao Huang.
Lao Huang's family is separated from Uncle Luo's house, and the houses are almost the same, but they look dilapidated, and they are not as clean as Uncle Luo's house, and the furnishings in the house are also very simple.
"Young man, you sit down first, you're welcome, I'm alone at home." Lao Huang greeted Chen Ran, then turned around and entered the back room.
Chen Ran put the fish tank on the square wooden table and waited quietly.
Lao Huang didn't let him wait long, just for a moment, he saw him come out of the middle with a big drawer, and said to Chen Ran with a smile: "Young man, I see that you like those strange things, and I have collected some of them myself, all of which are toys from my childhood. ”
When Chen Ran heard him say this, he also became interested, he had just read so many books about collecting, and it was the time when he needed to see the real thing.
Although Lao Huang said that the things he collected were not valuable, from Chen Ran's point of view, these things were still good, at least they were all real things.
The reason why Chen Ran can be so sure is that these things are not too complicated, and the identification is very simple.
Things are good, but the age is not long, this may be mainly because Lao Huang is not engaged in collecting, but just wants to keep some memories of his youth.
The most in the drawer is the kind of tooth man, this kind of tooth man was the most popular in the sixties and seventies, at that time there were not many fun things for children, the tooth man was one of the toys, and these tooth people, in Chen Ran's view, if they were sold, each piece could also be sold for one or two hundred, and Lao Huang's drawer had more than twenty.
There are a few books left, all of them are rare books, Chen Ran took a look, the longest time is only one in the late Qing Dynasty, the name is "Turtle King Sutra", it should be a Buddhist scripture, Chen Ran doesn't know how much it is worth, but it will not be too high, it is estimated to be about a thousand.
In addition to these, there are some inkstones and a pen holder, Chen Ran looked at this pen holder, but it was a little familiar, like an old object of pear blossom wood, but it will not be too long, at most it is the end of the Qing Dynasty.
The others are very ordinary, and they are a good collection for the old people who lived in that era.
"I'll just pick this one!" Chen Ran finally chose the pen holder of pear blossom wood.
Lao Huang frowned: "You look for it again, how can one work, it's not very valuable, take two more pieces, take whatever you like, I'm not as obsessed with the things I like as Old Man Luo, I keep these things." ”
Under Lao Huang's tough attitude, Chen Ran had no choice but to choose the Buddhist scripture again, even so, Lao Huang was still not satisfied, Chen Ran had to tell him the approximate value of the pear blossom wood pen holder and the Buddhist scriptures, and a twelve red butterfly tail is not much different.
Chen Ran not only said the value of the pear blossom wood pen holder and Buddhist scriptures, but also told him about other things, although these things are not expensive, but they are worth a lot, so as not to be taken away at a low price when they get it, so that Lao Huang suffers.
Only then did Lao Huang know that these things of his were worth so much money, but he was not going to sell them, if it weren't for Chen Ran, others would probably not be allowed to see them, these things are undoubtedly very commemorative.
After finding two old things, Chen Ran was about to say goodbye and leave, but when Lao Huang was leaving, he asked Chen Ran to come over again tomorrow, and when it was evening, he was going to go to Uncle Luo's house to be a lobbyist for Chen Ran.
Chen Ran was naturally grateful, and secretly said that this twelve red butterfly tails were not given away in vain, no matter whether there was a result or not, he had to accept the love of others.
……
The next day, the first time Chen Ran woke up, he saw the sun rising high outside the window, and then his expression was suddenly stunned!
To his surprise, he had another dream last night......
This time, the dream was a little strange for him.
The things in the dream had nothing to do with him, and he couldn't make money, what he dreamed of was that someone kidnapped a six or seven-year-old boy, and this little boy, Chen Ran not only didn't know, but never even saw it......
How could you have such a dream?
Chen Ran is really strange!
Chen Ran didn't think much about this question, because this was not the most important thing, the most important thing was the little boy. Even though the little boy had nothing to do with him, he couldn't just watch it.
If you don't know such a thing, forget it, but you just know it, or you know it in advance, then you have to find a way to save it.
Another point is that Chen Ran is not sure that this little boy must have nothing to do with him, otherwise, how could he suddenly have such a dream, at least before this, there has never been such a thing.
Just like Liang Bo......
How to save the little boy, Chen Ran's first thought was to call the police, but after he thought about it seriously, he gave up this idea, and there were many reasons for this.
First of all, it is very troublesome for him to call the police, and then when he reports to the police, the police must first confirm the authenticity of the matter, and then file a case.
Finally, there is another point that Chen Ran doesn't want to expose himself, after all, he is also worried about whether there will be any grievances involved, and then implicate him as well.
I have to say that Chen Ran is still a selfish person after all.
The first thing that comes to his mind is himself, and then everything else......
didn't have time to think about it, Chen Ran looked at the time and found that it was already more than ten o'clock, and from here, he also found another point, and the time for him to dream and sleep was getting shorter and shorter. put on his clothes, washed his face in a hurry, and didn't brush his teeth, Chen Ran hurriedly went out.
At this moment, it is clear that time is of the essence.
……
"Master, go to Xinmi."
Chen Ran, who drove out, directly intercepted a taxi, and in an instant, the taxi rushed away in the direction of Xinmi......
