After a while, the young man came back to his senses from this shocking news and hurriedly asked, "How much is this thing worth?"

Chu Chen knew that the result was a little cruel to them, but they would have to face this matter sooner or later, so he couldn't bear to say, "I estimate that the market value is about 50,000."

"How much? Fifty thousand?! "Mother and son were clearly intimidated by the price.

"Yes, the price is indeed like what Director Chu said, this piece of Gang Mao can be worth 50,000." Wei Shenghuan nodded solemnly.

After getting the confirmation, the mother and son were stunned, they didn't spend 50,000 yuan to buy these jades, and now a piece of jade not only pays back, but also makes a lot of money. Originally, this was a thing to be happy about, but my husband (father), because of this, got such a serious illness, and he didn't live well in a few days, no matter how much money he had, could he change people back!

The young man came back to his senses and said angrily: "I actually think it's really fake, what kind of bullshit expert is that!"

"Which expert were you looking for?" Wei Shenghuan asked.

When the young man said the name of a man, he frowned and said, "Why did you go to him?" Although this guy is famous, his level is really not good, and he identifies things very quickly, so it's better to find him than to find me! "

"Hey! At the beginning, I also wanted him to go to you, but he just didn't agree with it, and it ended up like this, what is this called! At the end, the woman let out a cry of grief and immediately rushed out of the door.

"Mom...... xx like an expert, I'll go to him sooner or later to settle accounts! With an angry roar, the young man hurriedly ran out as well.

"I'll take a look!" Worried about the mother and child tumor something. Wei Shenghuan and Chu Chen said hello and hurriedly ran out.

See this situation. Chu Chen was very emotional in his heart, it was indeed a happy event for him to be able to find the fourth Gangmao. But mixed with such a tragedy, it is not what he wants to see.

"Hey, in the end, you should still have self-knowledge to be a man, and the most important thing is to avoid greed." Wu Ke sighed.

Chu Chen and Zuo Shan nodded yes, but let alone self-knowledge, many people can't do it just because of greed, otherwise there won't be many people who will be ruined because they bought antique fakes.

Because of this incident, the atmosphere in the room was a little depressing. At this time, Wu Ke suddenly thought of a question and said:

"Achen, do you think they will sell that box directly because they need money, that thing is a silver box, and it is an antique, it can be worth a lot of money, right?"

Chu Chen was stunned when he heard this, don't say anything. This possibility does exist, and if that is the case, it would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, he frowned and looked around. There was no trace of the silver box in the room now, so he could only wait for Wei Shenghuan and them to come back.

That's nearly twenty minutes. Wei Shenghuan walked back with the young man.

Seeing this, Chu Chen hurriedly asked, "Auntie is okay, right?"

The young man shook his head: "It's okay. It's just that she's a little unwell right now, and now she's resting in her room."

Chu Chen heard that it was okay. He also breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise he would have felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and he continued:

"Brother Wei, ask something that may be inappropriate, I don't know if the silver box of your family's ancestors is still there?"

"Oh! I just heard my uncle say this, and the thing is here."

As he spoke, the young man raised the bag in his hand, and then said: "It's also a coincidence that you came, I have almost spent all the savings in my hand, and I am about to sell this box for money, if you come a day or two late, the things will be in the hands of others."

When Chu Chen heard this, he was completely relieved, and said with a smile: "Then can I appreciate this thing?"

"Can it be ......" the young man paused, looking suspicious.

Chu Chen said: "Brother Wei, if there is any problem, just say it."

"Then I'll be straight to the point." The young man said: "I just looked, there are indeed words in this box, and they are very clear, but I don't know what the words are, and I don't know if it's the formula you want."

At this time, Wei Shenghuan took over and said: "I read it just now, it should be Jin Wen, I haven't studied Jin Wen, and I can't understand what it means."

The young man nodded, and then said, "Originally, I wanted to check it out for myself and see what it meant, but it took too long, and you can't wait for Pavilion Director Chu. Therefore, I want to make a pact with you."

Hearing this, Chu Chen understood what the young man meant, just because he was afraid that he would write down the formula inside, and then he wouldn't buy this box, wouldn't it be a loss?

"I understand what you mean, we can sign an agreement, if the text in it is indeed what I want, I will buy it at the price we agreed, but I don't know how much you want?"

"Uh......" The young man lowered his head and thought for a while, but he didn't figure out how much it cost, he looked at Wei Shenghuan with some confusion, and then said to Chu Chen: "Director Chu, please wait a while, let's discuss."

"No problem......"

The young man and Wei Shenghuan went out and discussed for a while before they came back, and then said with some confidence:

"Curator Chu, we discussed it just now, if the formula written in this box is indeed Luan Jiao, and it costs a total of one million, you can bring it back with this silver box."

"A million?"

Chu Chen lowered his head and groaned, if that formula is indeed the formula of Luan Jiao, one hundred. [,！ Ten thousand is a small meaning to him, if Luan gum can be redeveloped according to the formula, the value is not at all a million can be measured.

As for whether there is a possibility that there is a real need for the two legendary materials of the phoenix mouth and the unicorn horn, it cannot be said that there is none, but if Wei Shenghuan is telling the truth, then this possibility can be said to be very small.

Anyway, for Chu Chen, it was still a very cost-effective thing to spend a million to buy the recipe along with the silver box.

So, he nodded and said, "We can sign an agreement."

The young man smiled and waved his hand: "No need, I believe that Director Chu still has some credibility."

As he spoke, he handed the bag directly to Chu Chen.

In the end, young people are not people in the industry. Chu Chen didn't pay much attention to this, and took the bag casually. So he took out the contents of the bag.

This is a round box, and the material should be silver. As soon as the thing came into his eyes, Chu Chen felt that there was a door, because if he was not mistaken, this was a silver box from the Tang Dynasty.

The box is one of the more common types of gold and silver utensils in the Tang Dynasty. Its shape is divided into two parts, which can be opened and closed, the plane of the lid is round, petal-shaped, etc., and the top of the lid is divided into flat top and raised top. Some boxes also come with hoop feet. With round boxes, petal-shaped boxes are the most.

The box has a wide range of uses, generally large boxes are mostly used to hold various medicines, tea, spices and other valuables, and smaller ones are mainly used to hold cosmetics. Sanqin Province has unearthed seven large silver boxes in the Tang Dynasty gold and silverware, which contain stalactites, dansha and other ancient health and longevity medicines, and are also alchemy raw materials.

This silver box in front of me. It is a silver gilt beast treasure pattern silver box, the proportion is coordinated, the shape is dignified and generous, respectively, with a hammer. Engraved, welded, gilded. Polishing and other craftsmanship can be said to be quite exquisite. It is one of the representative works of gold and silver utensils in the Tang Dynasty.

The diameter of this round silver box is about nine centimeters, and the bottom of the lid is raised. The short ring foot, which can be opened and closed, was used for cosmetics for women in the Tang Dynasty. The whole vessel takes the caviar pattern as the ground, is divided into five decorative intervals, the center of the cover is engraved with a powerful flying winged beast that steps on auspicious clouds, the inner and outer lines of the central circle are bead patterns, the middle is a diamond-shaped geometric pattern, and the outer circle is a second interval pattern composed of Lianqu Baoxiang flowers.

The mouth of the cover is engraved with a fine deformed lotus pattern. The main body of the box is decorated with engraved arabesque pattern, and the bottom surface is decorated with the same as the cover decoration, which is composed of Lianqu Bao Xianghua, and the cover and the turning point of the body and the circle foot are all welded by process.

What's even more rare is that the gilt on the surface of this silver box has been preserved for so many years, and it looks almost like new. In addition, the whole vessel is evenly distributed, the lines are smooth, exquisite and elegant, it can be said that it is a very good utensil, and it is worth a lot.

After observing the appearance of the box, Chu Chen opened the box, only to see that the back of the lid of the box was indeed engraved with a lot of words, the size of which was like a mung bean, and the text was gold.

After careful identification, a smile appeared on Chu Chen's face, although the combination of these words is relatively obscure, and the words are more like ancient Danshu, many of which are hidden, but they are still quite smooth to read, plus judging from the inscriptions, it should be carved at about the same time as the silver box.

Judging by these clues, it is highly likely that these texts record Luan gum formulas. The fly in the ointment is that the main ingredients of the formula are really the two things of phoenix mouth and unicorn horn, because there is no information, Chu Chen doesn't know if it is really phoenix mouth and unicorn horn, or just a pronoun, which makes him somewhat annoyed.

Seeing the joy on Chu Chen's face, Wei Shenghuan's uncles and nephews were also relieved, and the young man could not hide his joy, but when he thought of his father whose life was about to come to an end, his eyes dimmed again.

Chu Chen closed the box and asked, "Elder Wei, I wonder if your father left any notes or anything like that?"

Wei Shenghuan recalled for a moment and said, "Yes, but it was all left to my brother at the beginning."

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, the young man said with some apologies: "The things left by my grandfather should have been thrown away by my father when he renovated the new house."

Wei Shenghuan was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "I remember that my father left a lot of old books or something, and all of them were lost?"

The young man said with some embarrassment: "It's not that everything is lost, but a few years ago, those books were accidentally flooded, and only a few ancient books were left, and the rest were lost by my father."

Hearing this regrettable result, Chu Chen was quite depressed, but he didn't give up, so he said, "Brother Wei, can you show me those ancient books?"

"Okay, you wait......"

After a while, the young man walked back with a few thread-bound ancient books, handed them to Chu Chen, and said, "That's it."

Chu Chen looked through it, and now they are all some printed books in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, mainly talking about the knowledge of plants and minerals, and in the blank space of the page, the original owner also wrote some annotations.

After a cursory look, Chu Chen felt that although there was no annotation of the phoenix mouth and the unicorn horn in it, maybe some clues could be found from it. Thereupon. He asked, "Brother Wei, can you sell me these books?"

"Huh? Are these books also valuable antiques?". The young man asked in surprise.

Chu Chen shook his head: "It's just some books printed in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. It is estimated that it is worth about 100 yuan. I want them to be a reference."

Hearing that it was only worth a few dollars, the young man smiled and said, "Since you think it's useful. Then I'll give it to you."

Anyway, it's just a hundred yuan, Chu Chen smiled: "Brother Wei,. [,！ Don't know if you want a check or go to the bank transfer?"

The young man hurriedly said, "I haven't seen the check, so let's go to the bank to transfer the money."

"Okay." Chu Chen nodded, and then said, "Brother Wei, I don't know if the Gangmao just now can be transferred to me?"

"I ......"

The young man was slightly stunned, and as soon as he spoke, Wei Shenghuan hurriedly interrupted his words and nodded, "Yes. OK! "

Seeing this, Chu Chen didn't understand that it should be Wei Shenghuan who had already ordered the gang mao before, which made him somewhat glad that Wei Shenghuan knew something about himself, otherwise he would inevitably have to pay a lot of attention.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen hurriedly thanked the two of them and said, "If the price is concerned, even if it is 50,000 yuan as I said before."

"This ...... How embarrassing it is! "

The young man scratched his head a little embarrassed, even though he had never bought or sold antiques before. But because of his father's relationship, he still has some knowledge of it, and knows that like clothes, the market price will always only play a reference role. If it is a precious antique, it may also be at a premium, if it is such an ordinary thing as his family's Gangmao, if it is sold in the market. It's already kind if you don't get the price down, and you don't have to think about the premium.

Chu Chen smiled: "It's okay. It's hard to buy a favorite."

The young man smiled and didn't say anything more. The business is done.

Next, everyone was ready to go to the bank to transfer money, and before leaving, Chu Chen told them that they knew a little about medical skills, and they also went to help Zhang Shengle diagnose it, but the conclusion was similar to the previous doctor's diagnosis, no matter how good the treatment is, he is basically a vegetative person when he is saved, and it is just a crime.

Hearing this result, Wei Shengle's wife and children were extremely sad, thinking about it, if Wei Shengle was not greedy, if the expert's appraisal results were not wrong, the current result would not have occurred. It's a pity that the world has no regrets......

…………

The trip to southern Yunnan not only got the formula of Luan gum, but also accidentally put the fourth piece into the bag, Chu Chen was very satisfied with this honeymoon trip. Of course, if there is no tracking, and the tragedy of Wei Shengle, then add. That's even more perfect.

Because the trip to southern Yunnan took more than half a month, after returning to the stable, Chu Chen fell into a hurry, and the following National Day holiday was flocked to tourists, and it was not until the 10th that he was relieved from the busy affairs.

Seeing Chu Chen enter the door, Lao Wu smiled and said, "Yo, boss, I thought you forgot about here!"

"What you say, no matter what, I won't forget that this is my nest!"

Chu Chen said hello to everyone, because there are more things in the museum, plus he has other careers, since he came back, he hasn't been here yet, counting the trip to southern Yunnan, it has indeed been a long time.

After saying a few words that were not nutritious, Chu Chen asked, "Where is my dad?"

Zhou Wenping replied: "Uncle Wu and Lao Zhao went out together, saying that they were going to collect a good thing, and I will ask what it is."

Chu Chen nodded, thinking that he was too busy during this time, and Zhao Xueyi's affairs had forgotten, so he was somewhat embarrassed, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, did that Lin Lao Wu come over to compensate Uncle Zhao for his losses?"

The old five eyebrows fluttered and said: "Why not, that guy is like a grandson, don't mention how relieved he is."

"You can't live if you do your own evil!"

Chu Chen sneered, and then took Lao Wu and Zhou Wenping, as well as Gu Qifei and Gu Jianming to his office to take stock of the various things in the antique shop during this period of time.

An hour later, Chu Chen said with a smile: "Okay, this time has worked hard for everyone, and I will be cheesy, and everyone's bonus for these two months will be doubled."

Although money is vulgar, few people don't love it, so everyone thanked Chu Chen with a smile.

At this time, a clerk knocked on the door and walked in, saying that there was a person named Du Zhonglin coming to Chu Chen.

Speaking of which. Because I was worried about startling the snake, after getting the clue of the "weirdo" from Du Zhonglin's mouth last time. Liu Lao's side did not act immediately. Thankfully, he was very cunning. Even if the investigators were very careful, they were almost discovered by him. And since then, he has been suspicious, and it is difficult to get news of Cai Jianxuan from him except for direct arrest.

Because there are very few criminal facts found from him, direct arrest is the next choice. So, someone came up with an idea and asked Du Zhonglin to contact him next, maybe he could show some clues. But Du Zhonglin couldn't hold back the hatred in his heart. It's just a problem, what's more, Du Zhonglin has not been trained, how can he achieve this goal?

It's just that what everyone didn't expect was that Du Zhonglin actually studied Peking Opera and had a high acting talent, plus Du Zhonglin was eager to bring the "weirdo" to justice, so he didn't even think about it. I agreed. And after testing, it should be able to complete the task. So, a temporary "spy" took office.

Thinking that Du Zhonglin came to find him, Chu Chen hurriedly asked the clerk to invite Du Zhonglin to his office.

Chu Chen greeted Du Zhonglin with a smile. Then I invited him to take a seat.

After a few words of greeting, Chu Chen asked with a smile, "Old Du, did you bring any good news today?"

Du Zhonglin replied: "I don't know if it's good news. He asked me to bring you a message from a friend of his. There are a few good things, let me ask if you are interested."

Chu Chen heard the words and asked, "What's going on?".

[,！ ]

"That's ......"

Originally. After Du Zhonglin "took office", as usual, he went to the "weirdo" house once every three or five days, because the table was very ordinary, and the other party did not see Du Zhonglin's flaws, but Du Zhonglin almost got involved because the other party always sold things to him from time to time. Fortunately, this kind of thing did not give birth.

Last Thursday, Du Zhonglin went to his house again, during which he happened to talk about Chu Chen's museum, Du Zhonglin proudly told the "weirdo" that he knew Chu Chen, and the relationship was very good.

The "weirdo" was very surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked Du Zhonglin what was going on, so Du Zhonglin told the "weirdo" the originally prepared paragraph, because this paragraph was completed under brainstorming, unless there is suspicion, otherwise there will be no flaws in it.

After listening to Du Zhonglin's account, the "weirdo" was just very envious of Du Zhonglin being able to become friends with Chu Chen at first, and there was no strange behavior. It wasn't until Du Zhonglin went to his place yesterday and was about to say goodbye that he suddenly answered a phone call.

"He asked me if I was interested at first, it was a joke, it added up to millions of things, and even if I was interested, I was powerless! Doesn't he know?! "

Du Zhonglin sneered, and then said: "Later, I said that I couldn't afford it, so he asked me to ask you if you were interested."

Chu Chen smiled and said, "As long as it's a good thing, I'm interested, but he also has to tell me, what is it?" I'm not a friend, I can't run over as soon as someone says he has something good, and if that's the case, then I can't die of exhaustion! "

"He's prepared for this, and this is a picture he asked me to get at his house early in the morning. It's a coincidence that you're right here, saving me a few steps."

Du Zhonglin smiled and put an envelope in front of Chu Chen: "The photos look good, they are all genuine, and I don't know if the actual ones are true or false."

A total of five items are displayed in the photo, a Dingyao lotus pattern, a Yaozhou kiln sauce glazed plum bottle, a Longquan kiln jade pot spring bottle, and a bronze ware, as well as a green jade carriage.

Among them, the most precious and rare should be the green jade carriage.

I saw that the blue and white jade carriage in the photo had seven horses, divided into two rows, three in the front row and four in the back. The front and rear rows are connected by jade chains, the back row of four horses at the same time, the driver is tall, strong, both hands are in the shape of pulling the reins, the passengers in the car are burly and fat, the status is extremely high, and the crown is a figure of the emperor.

In addition, at the back of the photo, the size of the carriage is also marked, and the length alone is nearly seventy centimeters. In addition, judging from the details of the photo, this trailer carriage should be in the style of the early Western Han Dynasty, and if it is indeed genuine, the value is estimated to be several million.

After seeing the photos, Chu Chen said with a smile: "I can't judge the authenticity from the photos, but he told you that these things only cost a few million in total?" (To be continued......)
