"Rosewood furniture?"

Due to the popularity of classical style furniture in recent years, there are many so-called red sandalwood furniture in the furniture market, but most of them are fake red sandalwood masquerading with sour branch wood or other mahogany similar to red sandalwood.

Nowadays, it is not easy to buy an authentic red sandalwood antique furniture, let alone the old red sandalwood furniture left over from the Qing Dynasty.

"Actually, I don't know much about red sandalwood, and I'm not sure if it's red sandalwood. But that's what my mom said when she left this piece of furniture to me. Xu Rujun added that she wanted Qin Fan to go to her house to see if the furniture was rosewood.

Qin Fan nodded, generally speaking, it is difficult for a layman to tell the difference between red sandalwood and other mahogany at a glance, so many black-hearted businessmen sell ordinary mahogany furniture as red sandalwood to customers at a high price.

Nowadays, few people care about the property status of furniture in the family, but the old people in the past believe that furniture is a very important family property and should be passed on from generation to generation.

And the red sandalwood furniture in Xu Rujun's house was specially left by her mother as a dowry.

However, with the changes of the times, few people use old furniture as a dowry, and even Xu Rujun himself has almost forgotten it. If Qin Fan hadn't mentioned red sandalwood on the show, she wouldn't have remembered that there was still a piece of red sandalwood furniture at home.

"Then let's go see the rosewood furniture first?" Qin Fan was overjoyed when he saw the hunt, and he couldn't wait to go to Xu Rujun's house to see the red sandalwood furniture first.

But as soon as he said this, he regretted it, and now it seems a little inappropriate for him to go to someone's single girl's house as a man on a big night.

Although there is innocence between him and this beautiful host, Xu Rujun is also a public figure no matter what she says, and it will not be good if she is seen taking a man home at night, and there are rumors and rumors that affect her reputation.

However, Xu Rujun didn't think about it so much, and couldn't help but smile when he saw Qin Fan's anxious look, "That piece of furniture is still in my old house in the countryside." At least 60 kilometers from here, you can't see it today. ”

"Besides, the deputy director is still waiting for us to eat in the restaurant. If he releases his pigeons, he won't give me shoes to wear. ”

Qin Fan scratched his head, he thought that the piece of furniture was in Xu Rujun's house in Luzhou.

"In that case, take me to see it when you're free."

In the antique market, the old rosewood furniture of the Ming and Qing dynasties is particularly popular, and many collectors and wealthy people want to buy a piece of rosewood furniture.

Qin Fan was afraid that if he went late and someone would take the lead, he would let people buy this piece of rosewood furniture, and he would be blind.

However, looking at Xu Rujun's meaning, there should not be many people who know this red sandalwood furniture, and he still has a chance.

In the evening, the deputy director invited guests to dinner at the Luzhou Restaurant, and Qin Fan also went to have a meal. At the wine table, in order to thank Qin Fan for being ordered to take Zhu Tao's place, the deputy director came over to toast Qin Fan several glasses and almost didn't pour him down.

And Xu Rujun has never been a drop of wine, and drank a few glasses with Qin Fan instead of tea.

Just halfway through this meal, Xu Rujun received a phone call, and his face suddenly changed. hurriedly said goodbye to the leader of the TV station, and left the restaurant with a small bag with a worried face.

"Miss Xu, what's wrong, isn't there something going on at home?" The guests present saw that Xu Rujun's face was very unsightly, and asked worriedly.

The deputy director shook it, saying that he didn't know the situation either, "Ru Jun never told her colleagues at home about her family, and even a few female colleagues who had a good relationship with her didn't know." ”

Although Xu Rujun, a beautiful host, looks beautiful on the surface, is very popular on TV and has many fans, her private life is very monotonous, except for working hard at the TV station every day, she is making up for sleep at home, and she doesn't even have a normal love life.

There are many people who pursue her around Xu Rujun, and there are also many enthusiastic colleagues and leaders who introduce her to single high-quality men, but she has no time to go to a movie and fall in love like a normal girl except for work.

Qin Fan and Xu Rujun had just met today, and they didn't have a deep friendship, so they didn't want to ask about her family affairs rashly, so they didn't ask much.

After eating, Qin Fan, who was a little dizzy from drinking, went home and fell asleep directly on the bed, and slept until ten o'clock the next morning when he was woken up by a phone call.

This call came from Xu Rujun, who suddenly left the table last night, and unexpectedly she suddenly asked Qin Fan to go to her hometown today to see the red sandalwood furniture, and her tone seemed to be very eager.

Qin Fan sensed that Xu Rujun's mood seemed to be wrong, and immediately got up and drove to meet her at the agreed place on the phone.

When he met Xu Rujun at the door of the TV station, Qin Fan found that she was wearing a pair of big sunglasses, covering half of her small face.

Originally, Qin Fan thought that she was afraid of being recognized on the road as a public figure, but later when Xu Rujun inadvertently took off her sunglasses, Qin Fan found that she seemed to have cried, and her eyes were almost swollen into peaches, and she couldn't open them.

"Sister Rujun, why did you suddenly remember to take me to see that piece of furniture today?" Qin Fan didn't rush to ask Xu Rujun about family matters, and said casually to ease the atmosphere.

"It just so happens that I am free today, and the TV station does not have any programs that I need to host."

Xu Rujun couldn't see any expression on his face with sunglasses, but his voice was a little hoarse, and he didn't look very good.

In fact, Xu Rujun's work at the TV station is very heavy, and he doesn't have a few days off in a month. Today, in order to take Qin Fan to her hometown to see the red sandalwood furniture, she temporarily pushed off the two host shows.

"It's still a coincidence, let's go."

Xu Rujun nodded, pointed to his eyes and said, "I can't drive today, so let's take your car." ”

So, Qin Fan drove the car over and opened the door to let Xu Rujun sit up.

Seeing the domineering-looking Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle driven by Qin Fan, Xu Rujun was a little surprised. Among the successful people who pursued her, there were many who drove luxury cars, but it was the first time she had seen someone drive such a G55 Mercedes-Benz off-road vehicle worth more than 2 million.

She originally thought that Qin Fan was an ordinary student, but she didn't expect him to be a little tyrant.

"If that piece of furniture is really rosewood, how much is it worth?" Xu Rujun hesitated for a long time and suddenly asked.

Qin Fan pondered for a moment and told her honestly, "I can't say the specific price." It also depends on the type and size of the furniture. However, as long as the material is red sandalwood, it will definitely not be cheap. ”

A few years ago, there was an auction of a red sandalwood case at China Guardian Auction House, and the valuation of this big red sandalwood case was very cheap, about 200,000 yuan. But the final transaction price increased sixfold, soaring to the price of 1.2 million.

Because the rulers of the Qing Dynasty loved red sandalwood, during the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods, there were records of a large number of red sandalwood furniture made in the court. Therefore, most of the antique rosewood furniture that appears in the antique market and auctions is made during the Qianlong period.

At the auction of the 30th anniversary of Xiangjiang Fubi, a pair of red sandalwood seven-eaves pagodas once appeared. This pair of rosewood pagodas was ordered by Emperor Qianlong to be made by the office and dedicated to his mother as a birthday gift. Later, the pagoda was snatched by the Eight-Nation Alliance, lost to England, and appeared at auction more than a hundred years later.

At that time, it was not stated in the auction catalogue that it was red sandalwood, so many people did not know about it, so Mr. Ma bought it at a lower price, and it is still on display in the Guanfu Museum.

"Sister Rujun, you suddenly asked this because you wanted to sell that piece of furniture? Are you in trouble? Qin Fan saw that Xu Rujun really planned to sell the rosewood furniture that her mother left her as a dowry, and couldn't help but ask.

Xu Rujun hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Something happened to my family, and I urgently need a sum of money." So I'm going to sell this piece of furniture. But I don't have any friends around me who know red sandalwood, so I can only trouble you. ”

"Don't bother, if you have any difficulties, just let me know. Speaking of which, my parents are your big fans, so you don't have to be polite to me. ”

"Thank you."

After talking to Qin Fan, Xu Rujun's heavy mood relaxed a little.

Xu Rujun's hometown is in Tanghe Village, which is more than 60 kilometers away from Luzhou, and it can be reached in about dozens of minutes at Qin Fan's speed.

Along the way, Xu Rujun looked preoccupied, his mood was obviously not high, and he didn't speak again after asking Qin Fan some questions about rosewood furniture.

Tanghe Village is a quiet small village, and Qin Fan noticed that most of the people who stayed in the village were old people and children, and he didn't see many young people.

According to Xu Rujun, Tanghe Village is very poor, and most of the young people in the village have gone to work in other places, and only the elderly and children remain.

As far as the eye can see, the village is full of dilapidated old houses, and there are not even many new houses. The road surface is also very bad, there are potholes everywhere, and there is only one concrete road in the whole village.

Under her guidance, Qin Fan drove for more than ten minutes to an old house in Tanghe Village that looked to be some years old.

"I have an older brother in addition to me, but he and his sister-in-law live in a new house at the entrance of the village. This old house has been uninhabited for a long time. ”

Saying that, Xu Rujun looked a little melancholy, took out the key from his bag, opened the lock on the door, pushed the door and walked into the old mansion.

This old house is about a few dozen square meters in size, and the area is not large. Due to the long-term inhabitation, there was a thick layer of dust everywhere, and even the tables and chairs were covered with a thick layer of dust.

"That piece of furniture is in the bedroom inside."

Qin Fan followed Xu Rujun into the bedroom, and was immediately attracted by a pair of exquisitely carved rosewood cabinets in the bedroom.
