"Come, I just came back today, and there are still a lot of things to deal with later, so I won't drink yet. I will replace wine with tea, and I will toast everyone first! ”

Rao is Wu Chen has never been a big head, and he can't help but stand up and be the master at this moment, there is no way, in his own land.

Everyone responded in an uproar, they were all their own brothers, and they took a sip of tea before they started eating.

Bai Su'e prepared for a long time, all according to the Cantonese food series, first drank a small cup of cordyceps stewed broth, and then started to eat.

I have to say that since she came, everyone's living standards have skyrocketed faster, Wu Chen's originally slightly thin body has now begun to become much stronger, even Chen's crooked mouth has gotten rid of his previous yellow muscles and thin face, and his face has begun to be a little ruddy, only the big teeth are as thin as ever, and with Xu Jing, who is becoming plump and moisturized, it is really impossible not to think of certain things.

After dinner, after a while, everyone had something to do, and everyone dispersed.

Kong Si went back with Yang Jun on the same road, and by the way, he took Wang Yuyuan to the house prepared for her, which had already been cleaned up, and was waiting for Mr. Wang to move in, although Zhou Xuan was a little reluctant, but he still accompanied his good sister to go out.

Big Tooth ran to the backyard with Chen's crooked mouth, not knowing what to mutter.

Wu Chen saw that the time was just right, and said to the Xu family brothers and sisters, go to Liu Lao's place, just arrived, you have to inform the old man.

The brothers and sisters of the Xu family naturally have no second words, especially Xu Lei, who has already told Liu Lao on the phone that he wants to come to "see" him, under this banner, even if the old man in the family knows about his "skipping class", he has something to say.

The three of them drove two cars in batches, and soon arrived at the house where Liu Lao was.

In the middle of the night, the doorman was extra vigilant, staring at the incoming car from a distance, and when he got close, he knew that it was Wu Chen's car, so he ran over to say hello, and saw that Xu Shaodong's brothers and sisters came out of the car, they were acquaintances, so they wanted to lead them in.

"Wait, I'm going to have to trouble you guys to help me carry this thing."

Wu Chen was also not polite, and opened the rear door, revealing something that looked like a thick wooden stake inside, which was placed from the rear compartment to the co-pilot's seat, taking up almost half of the space.

"Wow, uncle, what is this?" Xu Lei had already stood beside Wu Chen, and saw that big one, a bit like cloth, and a bit like leather, but it was definitely not wood.

"A big picture!"

Wu Chen watched the two guards move the "Imperial Map" one after the other, and couldn't help but think of that night in Jiangzhou, almost passing by it, who would have thought that such a big guy could still be preserved in the people until now, no one will believe it!

"Good fellows! I said, why do you have to drive two cars! Xu Shaodong saw that the two guards were a little heavy on their shoulders, where did they get this, but then again, such a big painting must not be a good thing, and I don't know what Wu Chen got it for, should it be a gift for his master, right?

Before meeting Wu Chen, every time the brothers and sisters of the Xu family came to Guangfu, they had to live here with Liu Lao, and they were also very familiar with this place, Xu Lei was a girl after all, seeing them carrying things and walking slowly, they jumped in and ran in, before the people arrived, the crisp sound sounded first, fortunately, the servants all knew her, and they didn't stop them along the way.

Jumping into the study, sure enough, I saw Liu Lao waving inside, and Boss Tie stood beside him with his hands behind his back as always, occasionally glancing at him, praising the old man and making him happy.

Hearing the sound outside, he recognized Xu Lei's voice, and Tie Lao didn't move.

"Hehe, here?" Liu Lao finished the last two strokes, then put down the pen in his hand, picked up a wet towel and wiped his hands. The brothers and sisters of the Xu family have already said on the phone that they are coming over.

"Yes! Didn't I finish eating at my uncle's first, and then hurry over to see you! The little girl's mouth was still very sweet, leaned over and pretended to look at it for a while, and praised: "You are really called calligraphy, unlike my father's big old man, who writes crookedly and crawls, and is proud, and gives it to his comrades-in-arms everywhere, isn't this Uncle Li taking the big girl to my house on a blind date a while ago, my old man has to write him a pair, and he personally framed it, so that he can take it back and hang ......"

The little girl crackled and said, the amount of information was a bit large, the iron boss was still standing like a pine, only the corners of his mouth showed a slight smile, this yard is too quiet on weekdays, even when the wood is there, he is also a young man, except for occasionally playing with Liu Lao's child's temper, most of the time he is also a quiet person, and only this girl is a little angry every time she comes.

Liu Lao was still cultivating his temperament just now, and suddenly he couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and shook his head with a wry smile, if he let his brother Xu know that his "baby invincible daughter" buried him like this behind his back, he would not be lost to death.

"Wait, wait, what did you just say, eat at Uncle's, which uncle?"

"It's the one from Tianxingju!"

"Tianxingju ......" Liu Lao thought for a while, and then he reacted and said that it was Wu Chen, "Isn't this nonsense!" ”

Although he is a little older, he is old enough to be Xu Lei's grandfather, but in terms of seniority, he is a real "uncle", and now his apprentice has become an "uncle", which is messed up!

"Not really!" Xu Lei pouted and said with a look of grievance: "You don't see that he is not old, he pretends to be an adult with a straight face all day long, isn't he an uncle!" ”

"Hey, don't talk bad about people behind your back."

With the voice, Wu Chen and Xu Shaodong entered together, and when they heard Xu Lei talking about themselves, they first "taught" a lesson, and then said hello to Liu Lao and Tie Lao.

The Iron Boss nodded at them, and when he saw his two subordinates following them, with the boss still carrying a tube of things on their shoulders, he asked, "What did you bring?" ”

"This is a painting that I met with the fourth child in Jiangzhou, bring it back, and ask the master to help palm the eye."

Wu Chen said as he commanded to put the words on the ground, it was too big, and there was no table to spread out.

"The full map of the emperor?"

Such a large ancient painting, only the royal family can be produced, there has never been much, and the practical function is relatively large, the artistry is relatively poor, so the painting just unfolded a small section, Liu Lao saw the clue at a glance.

"What picture?"

These words are rather awkward, and even Xu Shaodong didn't understand them, let alone Xu Lei, a little girl who didn't know anything about antiques.

Liu Lao patted Xu Lei's little head and explained to them with a smile that the so-called full map of the imperial public opinion is the meaning of the national map of the royal public opinion, a bit like the authoritative national map released by the state today.

"Oh." Maps can also be used as antiques, this is the first time I have heard of it, Xu Lei looked at the drawings gradually spread out under her feet, slightly orange, and looked quite thick.

"It's a replica, isn't it?" Although Xu Shaodong has not seen it, but this kind of royal item is unpopular, and it should be classified in the royal archives, and very few of them are outflowed, that is, in the special years of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, many large treasures were stolen, and most of them were porcelain, gold and silver products, even if they were calligraphy and paintings, they were all small pieces.

"Let's see." Liu Lao shook his head, those who play antiques are the most taboo and have prejudices, which is often easy to look away.

The original of this painting is in the Palace Museum, because it resembles a royal map, so except for those who study history, few antique players will notice it, and it can be said that it is not famous.

Because of this, the possibility of folk imitation of this kind of painting is almost zero, not to mention whether the imitator can see the original, the cost of production alone may be much higher than the selling price, which makes the counterfeit stuck. The motive for cheating is to make huge profits, who has nothing to do when they are full, to do this thankless loss-making business?

I really don't know how my wooden apprentice got such a pair back, he frowned slightly, and asked, "How did you meet it, let's hear it." ”

While helping to move the stool, Wu Chen told them what happened to him and Kong Si in Jiangzhou that night.

"Descendants of the Zhou family?"

Is there such a coincidence? Let Wu Chen meet him at a stall on the street? This is an old-fashioned story if it were placed in the antique market.

"Hmm." Wu Chen nodded heavily, the world is impermanent, it is such a coincidence, at least he himself pushed back from this painting, and he believed the words of the middle-aged man.

"Girl, go, bring the guy something."

At this time, the painting has been completely spread out, about two meters wide up and down, but the length is about four meters, Rao is a large study space, but there are also some tables and shelves and the like, in which this open space is a little cramped.

Every time Xu Lei came, she also accompanied the old man to tinker with these things that she couldn't understand at all, and she was very familiar with the study, so she ran to the side shelf and took a magnifying glass and many other gadgets.

The iron boss stepped aside and turned on the spotlight on the top, the original light was a little dim, and the old man was old again, and his eyesight was a little poor.

Liu Lao took presbyopia eyes, squatted down, held a magnifying glass in one hand, and pressed the picture with the other.

Wu Chen didn't recognize it, but he felt it as soon as he put his hand together, so he didn't rush to look at the painting first, but looked at the "paper" carefully.

"What's wrong? Master. "Wu Chen followed Liu Lao's side, people are old, squatting down, it is inconvenient to stand up again, and they have to be supported.

"Good stuff!" Liu Lao didn't even look at him, threw him a few words, walked to the other side, and stroked the paper slowly.

"It looks a bit like silk, but why is it so thin?" Xu Shaodong also squatted down and touched it with his hand, most of the silk used in painting in the Qing Dynasty was called "Ku Juan", which was relatively rough, even if there was a kind of "cloud piece" in Suzhou later, the Ku Juan was flattened and crushed, but it did not reach this level of fineness.

"Maybe it's special, stir the silk into the silk cloth......" This question actually bothered Wu Chen for a long time, and when he was in Jiangzhou, he felt strange.

"This is a tribute silk."

Liu Lao glanced at them dissatisfied, quite hated that iron could not become steel, this is an object mentioned in "Treasure Road", his apprentice was stunned and didn't recognize it, how could this be done!
