Chapter 203: Taihu Shenbao

Thank you for the reward of the hundred years of reincarnation, ask for a monthly pass, is there any? ――

"Empty?" Han Chong understood in seconds, no wonder the box was so light.

"Yes, I thought I would have a treasure in this box, but I was annoyed that nothing was in it when I opened it."

"I also want to contact Huang Bin for this, after all, there are treasures in other boxes, I am not a loss? But after the tomb robbery, no one else was found at all. It wasn't until many years later, when I had a certain vision in the antique shop, that I learned that this sandalwood treasure box actually contained the Four Seasons Moonlight Cup. Originally, each of the four boxes contained a Four Seasons Moonlight Cup, and if I didn't guess wrong, this box was a Four Seasons Lotus Cup. ”

But because the lotus cup has already sunk to the bottom of the river, there is no cup in this tomb at all. Of course, I can't be 100% sure, but judging by the information in the paintings, it's very probable! ”

Other cups may not be known because of the later tomb robbery, but this lotus cup, Tu Lao's analysis cannot be said to be unreasonable.

Even, Han Chong thought that according to this clue, he would follow the map to find a Four Seasons Lotus Cup that might have been lost at the bottom of the river.

"Tu Lao, do you know this cold river, where the cold river in the painting is?"

Whether there is one or not, we will only know after verification. Han Chong asked curiously.

"Tang Yin's four friends are all in Suzhou, the biggest possibility is that this is a river in Suzhou, but the cold river in the poem is not necessarily a river, as far as I know, there is no river in Suzhou. It is very likely that this cold river is Taihu Lake, which is one of the five largest freshwater lakes in China on the southern edge of the Yangtze River Delta. It is precisely located in the territory of Suzhou Prefecture. If it's not Taihu Lake, then it's possible to have the Grand Canal, and there are only two possibilities. ”

Tu Lao gave two options. This is what he has studied for so many years.

Han Chong wrote them down one by one, Suzhou is a good city. Taking advantage of his fading out of the antique circle, he can go to Suzhou to have a play, relax, and go to Taihu Lake by the way.

It's just that if this lotus cup goes to the Grand Canal, it's hard to say.

The Grand Canal is the canal dug by Emperor Yang of Sui. Later, it was more talked about by people about the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, which flows through many provinces, and Suzhou is a stop.

It is said that the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is also accessible to other five major water systems, which makes it possible for the Yellow River, Huai River, Yangtze River, Qiantang River, and Haihe River to sink in. If you really fall into the Grand Canal and go with the flow, then it is really hard to find.

Five rivers, the small Four Seasons Lotus Cup can really become a permanent secret.

"Han Chong, that's all I have to tell you, it's not a simple matter to find the Four Seasons Moonlight Cup. Especially if it's not on land, it's on the bottom of the sea, so you need to think long-term. If you really can't. You don't have to look for this lotus cup. ”

Tu Lao was also conflicted in his heart, on the one hand, he provided the news to Han Chong, hoping that Han Chong would explore, but he thought that the treasure was at the bottom of the sea, and ordinary people did not have three heads and six arms, who had the magic power of searching for treasures under the sea.

"Tu Lao, thank you very much for your information, but please rest assured Tu Lao, I will have my own measurements."

"Okay."

"That's right, Tu Lao. I see you have a lot of books, do you have any books about engraving? I've been interested in carving lately. ”

Han Chong had already noticed Tu Lao's bookshelf and came to this kingdom of books. How could Han Chong miss the opportunity to learn.

Especially now that I don't have a teacher around me who teaches by word and deed, I must ask for nutrition from the book.

Seeing Han Chong's eyes burning at his bookshelf, Tu Laowei smiled. "You kid, are you wondering which of the old man's books?"

"Yes, I just want to learn carving, and I plan to go back to my hometown during this time, and I will study it when I have nothing to do." Han Chong approached the bookcase and found that there were a lot of prose in it, Teacher Guo Moruo's, Teacher Xu Zhimo's, as well as Bingxin, Lao She, Sanmao, and the prose poetry collection was dazzling.

"Tu Lao still reads prose?"

"These essays are all Tu Yuwei's favorite to read." Tu Lao explained.

"Is that her?"

She reads prose?

Well, Han Chong was a little surprised, looking at her cold appearance, it seemed that her feelings were very weak, and the prose was a little too rich for her.

There are really a lot of books here, and Han Chong read it for a long time, but he didn't find what he needed.

Tu Lao asked in the next second, "You said that the carved book, the engraving is very general, is it a beginner?" ”

Han Chong nodded, he should be a complete beginner.

"Then you can read these two books, I guess it will help you." Tu Yimo said as he took down two books from the shelf.

One is folk carving, and the other is traditional Chinese wood carving.

These two books are about the creation of wood carving, the first one is mainly aimed at folk art, is some of the master's experience, can quickly call the beginner to get started, and understand the charm of wood carving, carving.

The latter book introduces the early and modern periods, including the general situation of foreign woodcarving art, the selection of woodcarving, and the types and methods of using woodcarving tools.

Tu Lao empirically believes that if Han Chong can study these two books thoroughly, then he can control the basic wood carving.

"Thank you, Tu Lao, you're so nice." Han Chong took the two books and said sweetly.

"Don't be in a hurry to thank me yet, wait until you really apply what you've learned, there are a lot of you young people who have borrowed my books and put them at home just for decoration. Calm down and study knowledge, and only then can learning become your own thing. If there's anything you don't understand, you can call me or come to me directly, I don't want you to be just three minutes hot. ”

"No, Tu Lao, then I can ask you if I know, if you hand it over to me, don't you say that you are my teacher?"

Han Chong, this kid is a ghost, he knows Tu Lao's status in the antique world, and being able to be Tu Lao's student will be beneficial to his future development in the antique circle.

Tu Lao glanced at Han Chong, in fact, he had already had the idea of accepting Han Chong's apprentice, so he didn't speak by default, the old guy just patted Han Chong's shoulder and smiled.

Seeing that Tu Lao was leaving alone, Han Chong comprehended it and felt that the old man had agreed, so he shouted and chased out of the room.

"Master, wait for me."

Living room, one old and one young, one in front and one behind.

"Why did you go into the study and call me grandpa master when you came out?"

Tu Yuwei clearly heard the wood behind her and called grandpa master, and when the two arrived in the living room, she said a little unhappily.
