At first, it was fine, but in response to a sentence, walking a lot at night, you will always encounter ghosts, and eventually you will get into trouble with a powerful person. Not only did it take a year, but it also cost a lot of money to finally settle it, and the matter had a great impact on the antique shop at that time.

After Qian Changxing came out, he disappeared, I heard that he went to the south, I don't know when he came back, and became Zhao Qirui's appraiser.

Zhao Xueyi complained a little: "Lao Dong is really, he knows Qian Changxing's character, how can he still protect him." ”

"Hey!" Zhu Dafu sighed and said: "I know about this, Lao Dong can't help it, the two of them are originally world friends, and during the turmoil, Qian Changxing's father also saved Lao Dong's life, do you think Lao Dong can pull his face and ignore him?" Everyone has their own problems! ”

There was silence in the carriage for a moment.

After a while, the two cars arrived at the door of a family, one after the other. After everyone got out of the car, they didn't look around first, but moved their bodies, and they really sat in the car for more than five hours, and their whole bodies were a little stiff, but fortunately, the two old people were in good health, otherwise the body of the average sixty or seventy years old was really unbearable.

There are a total of three people on Zhao Qirui's side, among which the driver acts as his bodyguard, Chu Chen saw the spirit of the driver, and knew that he must be a good player, although he had not seen the legendary Zhongnanhai bodyguard, but the driver should be much worse, from this point it can also be seen that Zhao Qirui's background should not be simple.

Seeing Zhao Qirui and the others get out of the car, Chu Chen and the others all stepped forward to greet him, during which Chu Chen looked at him carefully.

Zhao Qirui looks to be forty-one or twelve years old, burly, with long thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the whole person exudes a refined momentum, he is not at all like a billionaire, and he looks very kind.

Zhao Qirui and Uncle Wu are also old acquaintances, and they all warmly shook hands and greeted each other when they met, but when it was Chu Chen's turn, he felt that Zhao Qirui was slightly stunned, and then Zhao Qirui asked Uncle Wu and the others with a smile.

"Who is this young man, he looks very energetic, I haven't seen him before."

Chu Chen is 1.83 meters tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a straight nose bridge, because of the relationship between the perennial boxing practice, there is no trace of fat on the whole body, giving people a sense of grandeur, plus he often smiles, he looks like a sunny young man at a glance, so many people's first impression of him is very good.

Uncle Wu hurriedly replied: "Mr. Zhao, this is my nephew, I learned a little bit of porcelain knowledge with me, and I came here today to have a long experience, and I will ask Mr. Zhao to take care of him in the future." ”

Chu Chen hurriedly saluted and said, "Mr. Zhao, my name is Chu Chen, please take care of Mr. Zhao in the future." ”

Zhao Qirui's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he dimmed again, and patted Chu Chen's shoulder with a smile and said, "Okay, the young man is very good, as long as it is within my ability, I will definitely help." ”

Everyone smiled when they heard this, and Chu Chen also thanked Zhao Qirui with a smile, but he didn't care in his heart, he thought that Zhao Qirui was just talking.

Everyone was happy for a while, but there was also a trace of disharmony in it, Qian Changxing, who was mentioned just now, stood by Zhao Qirui's side reservedly from the beginning to the present, looking at Uncle Wu and the others with a hint of resentment in their eyes, and did not say hello to them from beginning to end.

Qian Changxing was already quite short, and he had some thief heads and rat brains, and he still had a goatee, Chu Chen had a bad feeling, and his evaluation of him in his heart at this time was one percent lower than when he first heard about it, even if Qian Changxing didn't want to see himself and others in his heart, it was always good to say hello and make a show.

Now Zhao Qirui is talking and laughing with Uncle Wu and others, but you are standing still, are you taller than Zhao Qirui, so it is strange that Zhao Qirui does not have an opinion, and the fact is also true, Chu Chen obviously felt that Zhao Qirui had a trace of dissatisfaction and alienation from Qian Changxing.

After that, everyone walked towards the house, and only then did Chu Chen begin to look around.

This family is a typical style of the Jin Shang compound, although it is not as large as those particularly large courtyards of tens of thousands of square meters, but there are still more than 1,000 square meters, the whole courtyard wall looks particularly tall, like a castle, it looks like it must be very defensive.

Zhao Xueyi stepped forward and knocked on the door of the house, and after a while, an old man opened the door, the old man looked seventy or eighty years old, but he was dressed very energetically, and after walking out of the door, he arched his hand to everyone and said: "I feel like you are almost here just now, please come in." After saying that, he made a gesture of please.

After walking into the courtyard, Chu Chen kept looking around, the building adheres to the characteristics of the Jin Shang compound, the main houses are single-slope roofs, the courtyard is narrow from east to west, long from north to south, and the layout of the whole courtyard is like a simple version of the famous Qiao family compound.

The old man's surname is Li, and he is also a favorite collector of Zhao Xueyi, and he was familiar with Zhao Xueyi in the early years, and this time he was also invited by Uncle Li, so he had this trip.

Uncle Li invited everyone to sit down in the living room, and put tea on everyone's back, and said: "You are here for the first time, I will tell you first, my situation Brother Zhao also knows, I have played antiques for most of my life, but unfortunately my sons and daughters are not materials for playing antiques, and they have all emigrated abroad." ”

"I'm old now, and after I die, they will sell these antiques sooner or later, so I want to sell them to my friends in the antique world, and save them from being ruined by my children."

Zhao Xueyi nodded and said, "Elder Li, I also told my friends about your situation, time is precious, let's go and see the objects first." ”

Uncle Li smiled, didn't say anything, and took them to a storage room, Chu Chen walked in and saw that the room was not as he imagined just now, there were no antiques at all.

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions, Uncle Li said: "Hehe, I'm sorry everyone, a few local Tibetan friends knew that my belongings were going to change hands, and they had already come over. ”

"Hey!" Zhao Xueyi said with some anger: "Old Li, you are a little inauthentic, we have worked hard to come from the capital, do you want to pick up the rest of others?" ”

Uncle Li waved his hand with a smile and said, "Brother Zhao, don't be angry first, I will keep all the good goods for you, and you will each have your own gains." ”

After speaking, he led everyone to a square table, pointed to the table and the two armchairs next to it, and said, "You guys take a look at these three pieces first, and then I'll take some treasures out." ”

When Uncle Li left, everyone immediately began to look at the table and chairs.

First of all, this table, this table is about 1.6 meters wide, about 50 centimeters deep, and almost 80 centimeters high.

Looking at the thickness of the slurry on the surface of the table, you can know that this Huanghuali table should be some years old.

Zhu Dafu took out a handkerchief to wipe the table, took out a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully, after a while, he said to everyone: "Yes, this should be a HaiN Huanghuali table, looking at its pulp and workmanship, it should be a work in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, very collectible." ”

Everyone should have no doubts, they all nodded yes, only Qian Changxing stood aside with an expressionless face, which made Chu Chen look very uncomfortable, and then simply didn't look at him, and it was out of sight.

After that, I looked at the chairs again, and at a cursory glance, the two chairs were five-screen armchairs made of rosewood.

Rosewood furniture is a kind of classical boutique furniture made of rosewood as raw materials, combining art and personality. Rosewood furniture has always been relatively high in China, and only the emperor can use it in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Rosewood is an extremely valuable wood, because of its slow growth, it cannot be made for hundreds of years, and it is extremely difficult to obtain large materials, and the wood is hard, dense, and suitable for carving various exquisite patterns. Objects made of red sandalwood are waxed and polished without the need for lacquer, and the surface has a satin-like luster.

The texture of rosewood is slender and floating, the changes are endless, especially its tone is deep, it appears stable and generous and beautiful, so it is regarded as the best in the wood, ten sandalwood and nine empty, the largest rosewood diameter is only about 20 centimeters, there is a saying of "one inch of red sandalwood and one inch of gold".

Rosewood is only purchased by the royal family in Nanyang. The countries paid tribute, and they also paid tribute to the emperor, and the people did not get it at all. Later, rosewood was also found in the region, but it was also used by local princes and nobles.

Therefore, a piece of exquisite old rosewood furniture is very rare, but now there are two exquisite rosewood five-screen armchairs displayed in front of you, which has to make people feel refreshed.

These two rosewood five-screen armchairs are almost the same, and the backrest and armrests are made of a whole board to form a thick single board, which is a five-screen type. The armrests are curved gracefully, and the head is tilted back sharply in the book-style style. The backrest panel is double-sided high-relief with the "Fuqing Yuyu" pattern, and the armrests are also double-sided high-relief deformed with a dragon pattern of abductors.

The seat panel is flat-mounted, the material is not stingy, the workmanship is meticulously crafted, and the characteristics of its pulp workmanship should be the wide range of furniture in the Qianlong period.

Guangzuo refers to the furniture mainly produced in the GD region, which is characterized by the use of materials without sparing.

Guangzuo furniture emphasizes the consistency of wood properties, never mixed with other types of wood, and craftsmen select the best wood to make. In order to express the beautiful texture, the furniture is widely used, and the wood is completely exposed without paint.

During the Qing Dynasty, the furniture in the court was made by the masters of GD, and until now, only the skills in the hands of the masters of GD are the most traditional and authentic crafts.

These two five-screen armchairs are undoubtedly the best of the works, which are very representative and are rare things.
