Speaking of this, Zhao Heyan said with some indignation: "Our squad leader's parents, probably jumped off the building two months ago, there is only one old and one young left, I thought no one would ask her family to collect debts anymore, but I didn't expect ......"

At this time, Wen Xuelan also happened to walk in with a kettle, and hurriedly said:

"Don't get me wrong, after my parents left, no one came to ask us for debts, but my grandmother and I both felt that it was not easy for others, so we decided to sell the previous house to pay off the debt, although it was not enough, but the rest of the money, I paid it off slowly by doing odd jobs, and I will pay it off one day."

Although Wen Xuelan's words were clear and calm, the spirit contained in her words made Chu Chen and them awe-inspired.

In the traditional concept, there is a saying that the father repays the debts of the son, but now it is a legal society, and in the law, the children do not have the obligation to repay the debts for the relatives.

Therefore, many people use this as a basis to refuse to return it even if they have the ability, which is really not a problem in law. But then again, other people's things are not stolen and robbed, and if you have the ability to do so, you will not return them, which is really not in line with moral traditions.

And Wen Xuelan can still adhere to this fine tradition at such a young age and with such a difficult life, which makes Chu Chen can't help but feel very admired, and thinks, if there is a suitable opportunity for a while, then help them as much as you can.

However, since this is the case in Mrs. Wen's house, Chu Chen will not have too much expectations for the things that Mrs. Wen will take out for a while, if it is really a good thing, then their family will not stay until now.

After a while, Mrs. Wen was holding a brocade box. Cautiously walking in, she placed the box on the table. He opened his mouth and said, "Look at this first, this is a purple clay pot handed down by the ancestor of my family." ”

I heard that it is a purple clay pot. This couldn't help but make Chu Chen interested, but he felt a little strange, so he asked: "Grandma Wen, this purple clay pot should be quite precious, if it is really handed down from the ancestors, the price should not be cheap, why don't you take it and sell it?" ”

Mrs. Wen sneered: "In the past, my old man said that it was a purple clay pot, and I saw that although it was very beautiful with flowers and plants painted on it, it seemed to be painted with a layer of black paint. My son said that this thing may not be purple sand, it is not worth a few dollars, and it was not sold in the first place. ”

According to Mrs. Wen's description, Chu Chen immediately thought of a process, quickly opened the box and looked at it, immediately smiled, and said, "Grandma Wen, this is indeed a purple clay pot, but the process used has now been lost." It is called "palace purple sand tire paint painted gold". ”

"Ahh Is it really purple sand? Is that worth the money? ”

Chu Chen took a general look at the integrity of the lacquer gold, thought about it, and said, "If the thing is real, in terms of its current condition. It should be more than 100,000. ”

"One hundred thousand?!"

Old Lady Wen was a little stunned when she heard Chu Chen's offer, and then tears poured out of her eyes. The old tearful said:

"I said we don't understand, let others slap their hands. Maybe he could sell it for a good price, but he just wouldn't listen to me. I wanted to take it to others to see, but I didn't expect them to leave, and if they had listened to me, how could they still do it like this! ”

In fact, at that time, Wen Xuelan's parents were already discouraged and had the will to die, so they still listened to what Mrs. Wen said. Moreover, at that time, they would not believe how much money such a teapot would sell.

Seeing this, Wen Xuelan choked up and persuaded: "Grandma, don't cry, now that things are like this, if you cry and break your body, what should I do?" ”

After listening to her granddaughter's persuasion, Mrs. Wen also reacted, now her family depends on their two women and children, if she really falls, what can her granddaughter do, and how will she face her son and daughter-in-law under Jiuquan at that time.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wen wiped her tears and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I'm a little out of shape, I don't know if you like this thing or not?" ”

Chu Chen laughed and said, "I haven't started yet, this ......"

"Hey, I'm sorry to delay your time, just watch, just watch."

Chu Chen smiled and nodded, put on gloves, carefully picked up the teapot, and looked at the bottom of the pot first, the six-character three-line seal text written in gold lacquer "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty" was neat, powerful and standardized, which was the embodiment of Qianlong's official style. And seeing these six words, he couldn't help but be happy in his heart.

Lacquer painting refers to the method of depicting ornamentation with various lacquers on the smooth lacquer ground (bottom), and gold painting, also known as lacquer lacquer, refers to the surface of the utensils, and uses gold materials to depict various patterns and ornaments, and this process is mostly used on lacquerware.

It is difficult to achieve a more haode effect in terms of color, so the lacquer process is applied to the lacquerware, and black lacquer is mostly used as the ground, and there are a few vermilion lacquers. The combination of the two crafts makes the utensils more luxurious, and the texture achieves a colorful, colorful and gorgeous artistic effect.

The use of lacquer (xiū) to decorate purple clay pots began in the Ming Dynasty, and during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, the technique of heavy color painting in lacquer painting was absorbed, and the body of the pot was decorated with gold and brilliance. This kind of skill was fully matured in the Qianlong period, and it was lost after Jiadao, which shows its preciousness.

It is precisely because of this that Chu Chen will be overjoyed to see that this teapot is a work of the Qianlong period.

This pot has a smooth line, a short mouth, a curved handle, and a circled foot. The cover is arched, decorated with jewel buttons, and the whole device is neatly shaped, thick and simple. Purple sand inner tube, covered with black lacquer, painted with gold color big chrysanthemums, flowers compete to open, flowers and leaves are dyed red, green, a butterfly flies in the flowers, it looks quite interesting.

The most important process to be solved in the purple sand tire is the peeling of the patent leather, once the sticky and bad will peel off in pieces, the Qianlong period of purple sand lacquerware is a good solution to this problem. This pot is still beautifully lacquered to this day, and there is almost no lacquer gold falling off, which is really rare.

This teapot is exquisitely crafted and richly decorated, showcasing the exquisite artistic character of the royal utensils. And it is so well preserved, so that Chu Chen can really love it when he sees it, especially now that he has also begun to learn the tea ceremony, he loves it even more.

"Grandma Wen, I like this pot very much, I don't know how much money you want to sell?"

Old Lady Wen waved her hand when she heard this, and said, "My old lady doesn't understand this, you just need to offer a fair price." ”

"180,000, Grandma Wen, what do you think?"

Chu Chen's price is already very fair, although this teapot is good, but in the purple clay pot market, it is still made by celebrities who are more sought after, if he didn't want to help Mrs. Wen's family, and this teapot was bought, he also used it for his own use, he would not have offered the price of 180,000 yuan.

Old Mrs. Wen and Wen Xuelan were also overjoyed when they heard the price of 180,000, but they were a little sad.

Old Lady Wen shook her head and sighed, "Young man, I'll give it to you at this price, but how are you going to give me this money?" ”

Chu Chen was also stunned when he heard this, he had just come here before, and he really didn't expect this. Today is Sunday, the bank is closed, the transfer will definitely not work, and Mrs. Wen will definitely not have a credit card machine, as for the check, don't say that she doesn't have it, even if there is, Mrs. Wen is unlikely to accept it.

He had no choice but to ask his cousin to call his uncle and ask him for help.

Fortunately, Zhao Qirui's 180,000 yuan in cash was still available, and while Chu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, he said to Mrs. Wen: "Grandma Wen, the money will take a while to get it, I don't know if you have anything else here, as long as the things are good, I will accept them." ”

With this teapot as a base, Mrs. Wen's mind was alive, she really didn't know that such a thing could be sold for so much money.

Although the gold, silver and jade at home were almost sold because of the previous debts, there are still some small things in the house, maybe there are good things in it, and maybe the remaining 340,000 debts can be repaid?

So Mrs. Wen turned around, pulled out a bowl from the cupboard on one side, put it on the table, and asked, "Young man, look at this bowl, what do you think?" ”

Seeing this, Wen Xuelan couldn't help but hurriedly say, "Grandma, I still had dinner at noon, why did you take it out?" What a faux pas! ”

Mrs. Wen said with some embarrassment: "This is also passed down from our ancestors, I was there when I married your grandfather, maybe it's also an antique?" ”

Wen Xuelan retorted: "Grandma, how is this possible? And this bowl is hairy, even if it is an antique, what is it worth? ”

This is a blue and white cloud dragon bowl, it looks like the blue and white is quite pure, but it should be used all year round, there are some slight hairy mouths around the bowl, and it doesn't look very good, so Wen Xuelan feels that even if it is an antique, it shouldn't be worth a few dollars.

Zhao Heyan and the others stepped forward to take a look, and they also felt that Maokou greatly affected the appearance, if it was themselves, they would definitely not buy such a thing.

At this time, Chu Chen smiled and said: "This bowl is really an antique, as for Maokou, although it will be discounted a little, it will not be worthless." ”

"Huh?"

Chu Chen's words made the others couldn't help but be surprised, and Old Lady Wen was even more overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Young man, then you look at it first, and then I'll look for other things." With that, he hurried to the room.

"Mr. Chu, I'm sorry." Wen Xuelan said apologetically.

Chu Chen waved his hand, saying that it didn't matter, this is also human nature, just like a drowning person grabbed a life-saving straw, if it were someone else, it would not be much better than Mrs. Wen.

Then, Chu Chen picked up the blue and white cloud dragon bowl and observed it carefully.

This bowl, with an open mouth, a deep belly with curved walls, and a circled foot. The whole body is covered with white glaze, the heart of the bowl and the outer abdomen are decorated with cloud dragon fireball patterns, the hair color is clear, the dragon posture is vigorous, the blue and white are gorgeous, and the painting is old and spicy. At the bottom is the six-character regular script of "Yongzheng Year of the Great Qing Dynasty", and the font is neat and beautiful. (To be continued......)
