Chapter 196: News
Seeing Chu Yongning and them go away, Chu Chen returned to the living room of Liu's hometown, and at this time, the remaining few people were silently admiring the strange painting in the basin.
When Liu Lao saw Chu Chen coming in, he greeted Yu Renpeng and Yi Hongguo, and took the three of them to his studio.
"You three, you should be familiar with it too, right? I brought you here, and I didn't mean anything else, but to let you get to know each other better. You two senior brothers, are you a little puzzled by me silently accepting the closed disciples? β
Yu Renpeng and they nodded simply, they did not understand that the master was in such a hurry to accept Chu Chen as a closed disciple, after all, they and the little junior brother, today is only the first time to meet, and the two sides do not know much, in case the temper of the little junior brother is not the same as them, it will destroy the friendship between the masters, which is not consistent with the master has been talking about "love each other within the master".
And because it was the first time they met, they also knew how capable the junior brother was, and the painting just now couldn't explain anything, at most it was just the luck of the junior brother. The antique industry does pay attention to luck, but if luck alone is not learned deeply, it is just a passing cloud, after all, you can count on luck for a lifetime?
However, they didn't know that Chu Chen had special abilities, and he was really able to pick up a lifetime of leaks without learning or knowing, of course, Chu Chen couldn't really be like this, not to mention that he couldn't keep his luck on his lips, and he himself was not the kind of person who didn't want to make progress, otherwise Liu Lao would not be able to take a fancy to him.
In addition, when they learned that the father of the little junior brother was such a big man, their hearts were happy at the same time. I can't help but have a little doubt, is the master because of his family background. Just accepted the little junior brother?
"I'm really in a hurry to do this, to be honest. There is indeed a reason for your junior brother's family background, but it is not what you think, I won't say much about it, if you want to know, you have time to ask yourself. As for the reason why I can't accept your little junior brother as a closed disciple, it's also very simple, just eight words, good gold and beautiful jade, smart and studious. β
As for Chu Chen's luck, it was really not the point of Liu Lao taking him as an apprentice. After all, from the perspective of ordinary people, it is indeed impossible to have good luck in your life.
Although it was only eight words, this evaluation from Liu Lao's mouth was already very high, which made Chu Chen quite embarrassed.
"Master, how can I deserve such a compliment from you."
Liu Lao waved his hand and said, "I said that if you should be, you should be, whether your junior brother is good gold and beautiful jade." I won't say much, you will be able to understand it after you come into contact with him in the future, as for whether he is smart and studious, I will come up with a few questions on the spot. You should be able to understand. β
Saying that, in front of Yu Renpeng and them, Liu Lao asked Chu Chen a few questions about antiques. Even if Yu Renpeng answered these questions, they had to think about it, but Chu Chen answered them fluently. This made them suddenly look at Chu Chen with admiration.
The questions that Liu Lao said are all years of study. Coupled with the rich experience of antique appraisal, I didn't expect the little junior brother to be able to answer so quickly and accurately.
Although these are all questions about porcelain and jade, some people may not necessarily know the questions they have studied all their lives, and they can't imagine that the junior brother can answer them fluently at such an age, which can't help but make the two of them admire.
As for whether this will be the master and the little junior brother discussing haode in advance, they haven't considered this at all, whether it is really knowledgeable, and they will know it as soon as they get in touch in the future, so why do we do this thing that we cover our ears and steal the bell.
After Chu Chen finished answering Liu Lao's question, Yi Hongguo couldn't help but ask, "Little junior brother, how long have you been studying this business?" β
"It's just five years old this year."
"Five years! That's pretty awesome, too! β
Yu Renpeng couldn't help but admire, at Chu Chen's age, he was still a nerd who only knew how to hold books, and he had no actual combat experience at all, compared to the current Chu Chen, it was really a world of difference.
Chu Chen's answer also made the two senior brothers feel a little more normal, if Chu Chen answered for two years, a year, or less, then they would really be shocked.
But they don't know that Chu Chen now has the ability to look away, and it is the same knowledge, the current Chu Chen, as long as it takes a month or two to behave like this, I don't know what kind of expression they will have if they know.
Chu Chen said modestly: "Actually, I have had a foundation in this area since I was a child, so I was able to learn so quickly later." β
After hearing this, Yi Hongguo smiled and said, "I didn't expect Secretary Chu to be interested in antiques." β
"Hongguo, you are wrong about this, in fact, Ah Chen and Secretary Chu were separated when they were children, and they have just met now." Liu Lao explained.
After listening to Liu Lao's explanation, the two of them suddenly came over, no wonder they saw that the little junior brother and Secretary Chu were a little rusty just now, and just now I thought that the relationship between them was not good, but I didn't expect it to be like this.
Seeing the expressions of the two senior brothers, Chu Chen was not surprised, and said with a smile: "Senior brother, in fact, my father was still a lecturer in history back then, if it weren't for those years, you would still be colleagues." β
"Oh, junior brother, you can talk about it, maybe I really know it."
"His name is Liu Guomin, I don't know if you know Senior Brother?"
When Yu Renpeng heard what Chu Chen said, he couldn't help but be stunned, and then said anxiously: "Liu Guomin? Senior brother, are you sure your name is Liu Guomin? As he spoke, he also compared the characteristics of the Liu Guomin he knew.
Chu Chen was slightly stunned and said, "What you said is indeed my father, I didn't expect you to really know him, senior brother!" β
Yu Renpeng said happily: "Why don't you know, because I have some relationship with my family, I went to college at the age of fifteen, at that time Teacher Liu was the instructor of our class, and took care of me quite a lot, and then Teacher Liu was affected by the passivity, there was no news, I didn't expect to hear his news again today, junior brother, how is Teacher Liu doing now?" β
Chu Chen said gloomily: "His old man passed away five years ago. β
"What!"
When Yu Renpeng heard the news, he was shocked and said: "How is it possible, I know that Mr. Liu often practices boxing and is in very good health, how could he leave so early?" Could it be that something happened to him? β
Chu Chen sighed: "He broke his body because of those years, and fortunately he has a foundation in boxing, otherwise he would ......"
Yu Renpeng opened his mouth after hearing this, he really didn't know what to say, he shook his head sadly, he didn't expect that the goodbye back then would be goodbye.
"Okay, the deceased is gone, don't think about it, he is under the Nine Springs, and he won't be happy to see you like this." Liu Lao comforted them.
The two nodded, and Yu Renpeng said to Chu Chen: "Little junior brother, when you go home one day, tell me too, I want to go and worship Teacher Liu." β
βhaodeγβ
Chu Chen agreed without hesitation, and suddenly he thought of something again, and asked, "Senior brother, my father has a younger sister, I don't know if you have any news about her?" β
Chu Chen asked this question, it is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, after all, the senior brother is just a student of his father, and the possibility of knowing the whereabouts of his father's sister should not be high, but he really doesn't know where to find her now, as long as there is a little possibility, he has to catch it, but he didn't expect that he really got the news from the senior brother.
Yu Renpeng said with a smile: "I really know something about what you said, Teacher Liu's sister should be on the Xiangjiang side now." β
"Ahh Hong kong? How could she be over there now? β
When Chu Chen heard this, he couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, no wonder he couldn't find it in the capital, the difference between the capital and Xiangjiang was 108,000 miles, how could he find it? But this also made him a little strange, Weishenme neighbors didn't know about it?
"Teacher Liu has always taken care of me in the past, and then something happened, I went to his house several times to inquire about his news, but at that time, Teacher Liu's sister only knew that he was in Shunde, Yan Province, as for the more detailed address, she didn't know, if she could know Teacher Liu's address at that time, she wouldn't even be able to see him."
Speaking of this, Yu Renpeng shook his head gloomily, and then he continued: "So, I also have some understanding of his sister's situation. She was originally married once, but because she had no children, her husband's family was not satisfied, so she divorced. β
Later, it was probably in the 70s, and Mr. Liu's sister talked about another object, and I heard that the family had a relationship with Jiangxiang, and in the early 80s, she immigrated there through the relationship. When I went to Mr. Liu's house once, I happened to meet his sister who was preparing to emigrate, and she also specially told me to say sorry on her behalf when I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Liu in the future. β
After listening to the senior brother's account, Chu Chen knew that this was the case, but although he knew the news of his father and sister, Jiang Xiang was not familiar with the people, and there were so many floating populations, so many years had passed, and it was unknown whether his father's sister was still in Jiang Xiang.
In case she emigrates abroad again, it will really be like looking for a needle in a haystack, and if she really can't find it, it will undoubtedly be the regret of his life.
Liu Lao looked at Chu Chen's somewhat embarrassed expression, and said, "Ah Chen, let's do our best in this matter, and I'll ask Xiao Shutuotuo to help you find the relationship over there in a while." β
At this time, Yu Renpeng and the others also said that they would ask their friends over there to help find them.
Chu Chen was very grateful for the statement of the master and the senior brother, and expressed his gratitude to them repeatedly, after he went back, he would also call his uncle, as well as his own family to help inquire, hoping that Zuihou could find someone. (To be continued......)
