Chapter 551: The Engagement (Part II)

Wu Ke said with a sad face: "Ah! Then when we celebrate the New Year's holidays, we must not run to death! ”

Chu Chen explained with a smile: "It's not as exaggerated as you, our family usually celebrates the New Year's holidays, and the family gets together to eat, and at most, my grandfather will run a few more at that time." ”

Hearing Chu Chen say this, Wu Ke's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, if he really had to run all of them at that time, his leg would be broken.

After Chu Chen and Wu Ke finished speaking, Liu Sizhe came up and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, how did you do that trick just now, teach me!" ”

When Chu Chen saw him like this, he knew that there was nothing good about Lu Dao, but he also didn't understand what Liu Sizhe meant, so he asked, "What trick?" ”

"It's just that you said just now that someone was coming right away, and then Chu Lao and they all came over."

Liu Sizhe rubbed his hands and said, "Do you have any secrets, teach me!" ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "What's the secret of this thing, I just said it casually, who knew that Grandpa Lu Dao and they happened to arrive?" ”

"Really?" Liu Sizhe said with some disbelieving.

"Is that fake?" Chu Chen said speechlessly: "If I can really predict it, then I won't stay at home and speculate in stocks, it won't be long before I can become a billionaire." ”

"That's it!" Liu Sizhe said with some distress: "It would be great if you really had the ability to predict!" ”

"What, what's the trouble?" Chu Chen asked with a smile.

"Am I so obvious?" Liu Sizhe asked curiously.

"The two words of trouble are on your face, do you think it is obvious!" Chu Chen smiled: "What's going on, tell me about it!" ”

"This ......"

Liu Sizhe glanced at Wang Xiaoyue, who was talking to Wen Yuting next to him. Then he leaned into Chu Chen's ear and said:

"Brother Chen, you don't know what to do. The matter of Wang Xiaoyue's relationship with me was known to my grandfather and parents. On the same day, my ass bloomed, if I hadn't argued with reason, I would probably have been forced by my parents to cut off the relationship with Wang Xiaoyue, in order to punish me, they not only cut off my financial resources, but also the money to deal with Meimei's (Wen Meimei) family's affairs, I actually wanted to come out, it was really unbearable. Auntie can't bear it! ”

After listening to Liu Sizhe's explanation, Chu Chen was a little stunned, no wonder Liu Haoran and his wife looked at Wang Xiaoyue just now, there was something strange, it turned out to be like this!

"Then why did you still smile when Brother Haoran was there just now!" Chu Chen smiled and said.

"Two fascists, if I really have to show them in the face, then Satsuki and I really don't have to think about it." Liu Sizhe said with a sad face.

"Oh!" Chu Chen smiled and said, "Then tell me, what do you and Xiaoyue think?" ”

"Well, we. Of course, I want to get married! Liu Sizhe said as a matter of course.

"So fast?" Chu Chen was stunned, although he and Wu Ke had not officially been friends for a few months, they had lived together for two years, and they knew each other's personalities very well. That's why I thought of getting married so quickly.

"Soon? Satsuki and I have been classmates for several years! Liu Sizhe said with a strange face: "And I think that Xiaoyue's personality just complements me and will get married in the future." She's definitely going to be my helper. ”

"Forget about that!" Chu Chen patted his head, and then said, "Then if you don't have enough money." Borrow it from me! ”

"Aha! Brother Chen, I really love you to death! Liu Sizhe hugged Chu Chen, and said with a smile.

"Get out of here!" Chu Chen scolded with a smile and pushed Liu Sizhe away.

saw Liu Sizhe's appearance. Everyone else was very curious, and Dong Fatzi even squeezed his eyebrows at Wang Xiaoyue and said, "Xiaoyue, it seems that your family has begun to develop into a habit of broken sleeves." ”

Liu Sizhecai Dong Fat Man waved his hand and scolded with a smile: "Get out of the calf!" ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and Chu Chen asked, "By the way, Ah Zhe, when are you going to go to your cousin's hometown?" ”

"I think it's about the fifteenth of this month, let's go over there to find out the situation first!" Liu Sizhe thought for a while and said.

"Number 15!" Chu Chen frowned and thought for a while: "I promised others to participate in a treasure appreciation show, and the date seems to be set around the fifteenth, if I go that day, it doesn't seem to work!" ”

When Liu Sizhe heard Chu Chen say this, he immediately asked excitedly: "Treasure appreciation program?" National TV's? ”

"What's the matter, it's from Beijing TV." Chu Chen replied.

"The capital's are not bad!" Liu Sizhe said excitedly: "I didn't expect you to be on TV, Brother Chen, too, with your qualifications, it is more than enough to be on the appraisal show." ”

"Why, I participated in the ......"

"There's a guest here!"

Before Chu Chen finished speaking, Dong Fatzi shouted again, Chu Chen stretched out his head and looked, this time it was his grandfather's family, but Zhao Qirui's family was missing, and it was said that the car broke down halfway.

Next, there was an introduction and greetings just now, and then Chu Chen and Wu Ke invited Zhao Lao and them into the house together, followed by Liu Sizhe who was holding a lot of gifts.

Next, it was busy until ten o'clock, and there were a lot of guests, such as Qian Lao, Guan Guokang, Wang Xiangong and some other old-timers and friends in the antique world.

"Xiaochen, we're late, I'm really sorry!" Just after ten o'clock, Zhu Dafu and Zhao Xueyi also came over together.

Chu Chen waved his hand with a smile and said, "Where, where!" It's not too late at all! ”

"Come, come, come! Here's my gift to you, see if you like it or not! ”

As he spoke, Zhu Dafu opened the box in his hand and sent it to Chu Chen.

Chu Chen took out the contents of the box and took a look, only to find that it turned out to be a bronze tire gilt painting enamel treasure flower fish basket.

Fish baskets were fired in the early Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty, the former as a storage vessel, and the latter as high-end furnishings. Mingyong musical instruments have a straight mouth, sloping shoulders, drum belly, and curved round bottom. Xuande device open, oblique shoulder, round abdomen down, circle foot. During the Yongzheng and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty, the products were intended to imitate the bamboo woven fish baskets, with a handicap, a neck, a flat belly, and a flat bottom.

The inner abdomen is turquoise green, and the soles of the feet are white. The outer wall is full of yellow ground, the neck is decorated with six green leaves and red flowers between the three blue grounds, and the abdomen is mainly decorated with three large treasure flowers surrounded by symmetrical green leaves, and the color is red, blue and three-colored.

The whole copper is finely governed, the instrument system is round, the color is fresh and clean, the painting is exquisite, and it should be made for the Qing Palace.

Chu Chen roughly estimated that the price of this fish basket should be around 600,000, so he excused himself:

"Uncle Fu, you're too wasteful, I ......"

Zhu Dafu waved his hand and interrupted Chu Chen's words: "Xiaochen, what you say is a bit out of sight, you call me uncle, can't I give you a gift within my ability?" Or do you look down on me? ”

Chu Chen hurriedly said: "Uncle Fu, what you said, how could I look down on you?" I've taken this fish basket! ”

"That's right!" Zhu Dafu said with a smile.

"Xie Lu, Uncle Xie Fu!" Wu Ke also smiled and expressed his gratitude.

"Come on! Zhilu Dao Xiaochen, you like porcelain, look at the one I chose, do you like it? Zhao Xueyi also opened the box and sent it to Chu Chen.

Inside the box is a holding pot, the wine vessel that appeared in the Sui Dynasty, also known as "Zhuzi" and "Zhuju". It is the kind of wine jug that often appears in costume TV drama restaurants.

In the early Tang Dynasty, the pot has a handicap, a short neck, a bulging belly, a cylindrical or hexagonal short direct current, a crank, and a melon prismatic abdomen in the late Tang Dynasty, with several kinds of short streams, long streams, cranks, straight handles, etc.

From the Five Dynasties to the Northern Song Dynasty, the body gradually increased, the whole body was pressed with 4-6 melon ridges, the flow gradually became slender and slightly curved, the crank was higher than the spout, and the flat bottom became a circle foot and there were many bowls to match. Most of the yuan vessels are jade pot spring bottle type, and the bend and the neck are connected by S-shaped ornaments; After the Ming and Qing dynasties, the shape increased, and it was mostly used as a tea set.

The body of this holding pot is a jade pot spring bottle style, one side of the abdomen is set up with a long bend, the flow and the neck are connected by a cloud-shaped plate, beautiful and practical, the design is ingenious, the other side is placed with a crank handle, a small circular system is attached, the original is used to tie the lid of the pot, the lower part of the handle is decorated with three breast nails, the shape of the vessel is complex and changeable, graceful and beautiful.

This pot is painted with blue and white throughout, with rich layers and a proper layout, without any sense of overburden. The neck is decorated with folded branch camellia and curly grass pattern, the abdomen is symmetrically decorated with diamond-shaped open light, and the folded branch pomegranate and grape pattern are painted inside, which means auspicious, and the outer wall of the circle foot is decorated with wave patterns, and the bottom book "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" is written in six characters and three lines.

The blue and white painting method of this pot focuses on the Yongxuan brushwork, the work is meticulous, the pattern is strong and colorful, and the heavy pen is dyed, in order to imitate the effect of the precipitation of iron brown spots in the early Ming Dynasty, the effect is excellent, dignified and beautiful, elegant and vigorous, just like the ink, the painted flowers have delicate brushstrokes, smooth rhyme, beautiful and vigorous, the pot body shows the substantial, steady and elegant.

All these things make this pot unique, and it can be said to be a rare masterpiece among the official kilns fired in the Qianlong period.

To say that this holding pot should be genuine no matter what aspect it looks at, but when Chu Chen took this holding pot in his hand, the strange feeling in his heart suddenly appeared again, which made Chu Chen's heart suddenly, could this holding pot be a fake?

Thinking of this, Chu Chen hurriedly used the Lingbao Eye directly, to his surprise, this pot was indeed a fake, but inside the pot, there was something hidden.

Just as Chu Chen was about to take a closer look, Zhao Xueyi said with a smile: "Xiao Chen, how is it, do you like this pot?" ”

Chu Chen came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "I like it, Xie Lu, Uncle Zhao, your gift!" ”

Not to mention that there is something hidden in this pot, even if there is nothing hidden, he will take it down, otherwise he will say that this pot is a fake, so where will Zhao Xueyi's face go? And Chu Chen wouldn't believe that Zhao Xueyi would deliberately take a fake to fool him. (To be continued......)
