Although Xiao Zhou is just tinkering with ancient jade, but because of his father's relationship, he always has some understanding of the price of calligraphy and painting works, and he has a very good relationship with his family.

Not only Uncle Wu felt very angry, Chu Chen was also very angry when he saw the price he offered, he originally felt a little guilty for picking up the leak at this time, but now he doesn't care at all.

Originally, when he heard such a price, Uncle Wu wanted to turn around and leave, but he thought that it was the son of an old friend, and his character was originally like that, so he patiently explained:

"Xiao Zhou, things are indeed genuine, but you also know that the fame of these three people is not very high, and among the three works, only Zuihou's one-shoulder caryophyllum is of the highest value, but fifteen thousand is already very high in the market, and I don't need to say more about the other two, I can give ten thousand at the highest, a total of twenty-five thousand, what do you think?"

However, Uncle Wu's earnest speech obviously did not affect Xiao Zhou, and he said with a bitter face:

"Uncle Wu, you also know the situation of my family, it's almost impossible to open the pot, otherwise, I'll let you let it go, you give 30,000, anyway, you have 25,000, and the 8,000 is not much, do you say yes?"

Hearing this, Uncle Wu's heart was extremely disappointed, the price he could offer now was already a high price in the market, if it weren't for the face of his old friend, he would not have been able to offer such a high price, just like that, Xiao Zhou actually wanted more, and he was completely wronged.

Seeing this, Uncle Wu had nothing to say, so he turned around and left: "Forget it, Xiaochen, let's go back, there's nothing to stay in here." ”

Xiao Zhou didn't expect Uncle Wu to be so straightforward, and he was stunned for a moment, and Chu Chen, if it wasn't for the previous discovery, he would definitely not stay and stick a cold fart* stock, so after following Uncle Wu for a few steps, he turned around again and said expressionlessly:

"Mr. Zhou, I am also your father's old customer, thanks to his usual care, these three works, I can pay up to 30,000 yuan, if you want to sell, let's trade immediately, if you still want the price, then we have nothing to say."

Although Xiao Zhou was still a little unwilling, he thought about it, if he sold it to others, it would be impossible to sell it at this price, so he had to nod and agree. I have to say that Xiao Zhou's idea and practice should be inherited from Lao Zhou, which is what everyone often calls "killing ripeness".

The difference is that Lao Zhou still has the concept of friends in his heart, while Xiao Zhou already doesn't recognize his six relatives.

"Mr. Zhou, excuse me, we still have to sign a sales agreement, don't be wronged and robbed by then."

When it came to zuihou, Chu Chen also stabbed him, this person's actions really made him feel too disgusted. However, in this case, it obviously had no effect on Xiao Zhou, and he still smiled and completed the transaction.

Uncle Wu estimated that he was really angry, even if Chu Chen said just now that he wanted to buy the three works, he didn't stay, and when Chu Chen's transaction was completed and he walked out of Lao Zhou's house, Uncle Wu said angrily to him at the door:

"Xiao Chen, I said what are you spending this unjust money for, this kind of person shouldn't follow his wishes, even if you buy something at a high price, will he still be grateful to you?"

Seeing this, Chu Chen hurriedly comforted: "Uncle Wu, you dissipate your anger, just like you said, what is there to be angry about this kind of person, and in your heart, do you think I will be so stupid to let this kind of person succeed?" ”

"Could it be that there is another mystery in this painting?" When Uncle Wu heard him say this, he frowned and said thoughtfully.

Chu Chen smiled mysteriously: "It's not clear here, let's go back first, and then I'll tell you about it." ”

"Okay, I'll go back later, if you can't tell why, then don't blame me for being unkind." ……

The two returned to Uncle Wu's house in a hurry, and Aunt Wu looked at them holding six scrolls (three of which were the goods they had taken before), and asked strangely:

"Yo, are you two ready to change careers, why did you bring back so many paintings and calligraphy?"

Chu Chen smiled and said poorly: "Isn't this a success in the Olympic bid?" In order to respond to the call of the state and strive to contribute to the building of our spiritual civilization, I am ready to engage in the art of calligraphy and painting, and also provide some spiritual food for the broad masses of the people. ”

"Yo, our Xiaochen's ideological realm is high, and we all want to solve problems for the country." Aunt Wu smiled and gave him a thumbs up.

Uncle Wu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Mom, don't listen to his nonsense, do you think he has such lofty thoughts just like him?" ”

"Lao Wu, you are jealous, look at our Xiaochen is so handsome, good-tempered, and filial, why don't you have noble thoughts? If you want me to say, Xiao Chen is such a haode person, where to find it for a while, but unfortunately Xiao Ke is still abroad, otherwise I would have let her chase you. ”

"Yes, that's right." When Uncle Wu heard Zuihou, he also smiled and nodded repeatedly.

When Chu Chen saw the two of them like this, he was almost sweating profusely, and hurriedly changed the topic: "Uncle Wu, look, what does this painting say?" ”

"Well, then you take out the problematic painting and tell me what's in it." When Uncle Wu and his wife saw Chu Chen's expression, they both smiled knowingly, and they didn't say anything more on this topic, while Aunt Wu went to make dinner.

Chu Chen took out the picture of the caryophyllum with his shoulders open, and even opened it and said: "I think the other two are fine, it's this picture, I think there is another mystery, Uncle Wu, you touch this paper, isn't it a little thick?" ”

Uncle Wu frowned and touched the paper, he really couldn't feel it, and then he looked at it, it seemed that there was indeed a little, but it was really not obvious, so he frowned and said:

"You think this is a picture-in-picture? But although the paper feels a little thick to the touch, the thickness is really not obvious, unless the person covering it up is a master, but you can conclude based on this little paper thickness, isn't it too much to take it for granted? ”

Chu Chen explained with a smile: "Of course this is impossible, this is just a little difference that I felt after I found a clue, Uncle Wu, look at this place where there is water." ”

Uncle Wu looked at the place he pointed, and when he first saw it, he felt that there was no difference, and when he looked closer, he felt as if there was a trace of ink, and then he looked closely, the ink color should have come out of the paper, and this discovery immediately made him excited.

If they are not mistaken, it is very likely that there is another work hidden in this painting, and it will be covered up with such a genuine work on the shoulder, and the work that is disguised must be even more precious.

Uncle Wu said excitedly: "Okay, Xiaochen, you really didn't have the eyesight to say, just a little color stunned for you to see!" ”

He looked at Chu Chen and was about to be modest again, and waved his hand to interrupt: "Okay, don't be modest, the key now is to uncover the painting, but your Uncle Wu really doesn't have this ability, it seems that you have to trouble Liu Lao tomorrow." At the beginning, Liu Lao had studied with the Beijing School framing master for a long time, and the framing level was also at the master level. ”

Hearing this, Chu Chen said with a little hesitation: "Uncle Wu, we just went to Elder Liu today, and we will go again tomorrow, will Elder Liu be unhappy?" ”

After hearing this, Uncle Wu said with some tears and laughter: "Do you think Liu Lao is so narrow-minded? Besides, it's not like we're not going to chat, something like this, Liu Lao can't wait for you to go to him every day? ”

"I also want to go to Liu Lao's every day, but for something like today, I won't be blessed every day, how can I meet it every day." Chu Chen said with a smile.

"What's the matter, you two are so happy?" Aunt Wu came out of the kitchen, and when she saw their happy appearance, she was also curious.

After listening to Uncle Wu's simple explanation, Aunt Wu said happily: "Xiaochen is going to make a lot of money again, which woman will marry you in the future, she will definitely not worry about food and clothing, hey, if this is my family, then she will be blessed!" ”

When Chu Chen heard her hear this, he became a little embarrassed again, and thought to himself, we are only twenty-one, are we all in such a hurry?

Fortunately, at this time, Grandma Wu came out to relieve the siege: "Okay, don't tease Xiaochen, let's get ready for dinner." ”

**************************

The next day, Chu Chen got up early and practiced his boxing skills a few times, but he didn't practice for a day yesterday, and he felt that his bones were a little itchy.

Since the ability was upgraded, this was the first time he had practiced so heartily, and at the same time, it also made him feel that under the influence of the ability, the cultivation progress of his boxing method has increased more and more obviously, and he can feel the progress of his boxing method almost every day.

However, Chu Chen didn't care too much about this, because when he first learned boxing, he learned it with the idea of strengthening his body, and now he has not changed this idea.

And the artistic conception of this Tai Chi is about nature, and he wants to break through the most taboo deliberately, so now despite his ability, he still has the idea of going with the flow, and he doesn't want to deliberately change anything.

Now that he knew Liu Lao's habits, Chu Chen didn't wait for Uncle Wu to call him anymore to urge him, and when he finished all the things in the morning, he went to Uncle Wu's house just after seven o'clock.

On the way, Chu Chen unexpectedly received a call from Zhou Wenping, and there was nothing important on the phone, that is, to ask him if there was anything important after tomorrow, if not, he was ready to book a train ticket to Xijing tomorrow.

Chu Chen didn't have anything important, so he happily agreed, and he also got a message from Zhou Wenping, Zhu Guodong would not only bring his girlfriend with him, but his girlfriend would also bring her classmates with him.
