Chapter 3: Abilities
Chu Chen sighed in his heart, there was no way to say that he could only transfer his collection of a mid-Qing Dynasty imitation Wanli blue and white colorful figure bowl to save the emergency.
Chu Chen thought so in his heart, and said to Aunt Zhang with a smile on his face: "Auntie, what you said is right, the rent matter will be done according to what you say." ”
After that, the two said some inconsequential things and said goodbye to each other.
Chu Chen returned home, sat on the sofa in the living room suddenly, and his whole body was filled with a sense of powerlessness, the good mood brought by the successful Olympic bid just now was completely destroyed by the rent, where did I find this eighteen thousand yuan for a while, do you want to trouble Uncle Wu again?
Uncle Wu's real name is Wu Ziping, he is just sixty years old this year, he opened a small antique shop in Panjiayuan, specializing in ancient porcelain, he can be said to be the leader of Chu Chen's antique career, talking about the relationship between the two of them, but also from Chu Chen's experience.
To say that Chu Chen was also very miserable when he was a child, he was a little wooden when he was a child, and he was accidentally abducted by human traffickers when he was five years old, and then he was transferred to the mountains of Shunde in Yan Province with human traffickers.
However, the trafficker's luck was also quite weak, and the family that had been talking about haode suddenly missed the appointment, so there was a conflict between the two sides, and Xiao Chuchen escaped in the chaos.
How could a five-year-old child walk out of the mountains? What's more, he is not familiar with this place. Fortunately, because of his grandfather's relationship, Chu Chen has been exercising since he was a child, and his physique is good, and after wandering for four or five days, he was met by his adoptive father, who took him home when he saw his pity.
Chu Chen's adoptive father, Liu Guomin, was a lecturer in the history department of Beijing University.
A few years after the end of the turmoil, although he was also rehabilitated, he was only a lecturer and had no connections, coupled with the encounter during the turmoil, he was depressed, so he did not return to the capital and taught in a primary school in the mountains for a living.
Although Chu Chen's image at that time was like a little flower, he could still vaguely see what he was wearing, and it could be seen from this that his birth was good.
Seeing this, Liu Guomin almost thought that the child should have been abducted and trafficked, and originally wanted to ask him for some clues later, and then go to report the case to see if his parents could be found.
But I didn't expect that Chu Chen had a serious illness after arriving at his house, and after he got well, he suffered from amnesia, and the public security did not say anything about the Internet at that time, so he reported the case to Zuihou. Liu Guomin was never married, so he adopted Chu Chen.
And Chu Chen's current name is also derived from a small lock plate hanging on his body. The small lock plate was the size of two small adult thumb covers, carved from the finest mutton fat white jade, with a lifelike lotus flower engraved on the front, and the words Chu Chen and his birthday engraved on the back.
Maybe the lock piece was too small, and the trafficker didn't understand the value, so he didn't take it, and it could be regarded as leaving a clue for Chu Chen to find his relatives.
may have printed an old saying, "Where fortune and misfortune lie, and where misfortune and fortune depend", although Chu Chen lost his memory, he suddenly became smart and clever. Liu Guomin is very interested in antiques because of his profession, and in the next few years, Chu Chen learned his adoptive father's antique skills for four or five points.
It's just a pity that Liu Guomin was in poor health because he was criticized back then, if it wasn't for the Tai Chi that he knew how to pass down from his family, he might have been able to do it a long time ago, even so, when Chu Chen was fifteen years old, he still passed away.
Before Liu Guomin died, he left Chu Chen more than 2,000 yuan, and told him to let him go to the capital, when he met Chu Chen, he had a Beijing accent, and his home should be in the capital, and he might be able to find it if he went there.
In addition, Liu Guomin also gave him two letters, asking him to forward them to the other party according to the address when he arrived in the capital, so that he could defect to them at that time.
One was to be handed over to Liu Guomin's sister, because of some misunderstandings back then, the two had no contact after that, but the family affection between the two was still there, and the other party should accept Chu Chen in his face.
And the other letter was handed over to Wu Ziping, Liu Guomin and Wu Ziping should be said to be world friends, the two also played from childhood to adulthood, and the relationship can be said to be like brothers, and Wu Ziping's family is a family of antiques, so that what Chu Chen has learned will also have a place to use.
After Chu Chen took care of Liu Guomin's funeral, and then waited for him to reach the age of sixteen, he set off for the capital.
However, when Chu Chen arrived in the capital to find the address of Liu Guomin's sister, the owner of the house had already changed, and the current owner and neighbors did not know where the original family had gone.
Fortunately, the address of Wu Ziping's house has not changed, and when he heard Chu Chen's intention, he was sad and happy, sad and sad for Liu Guomin's death, but he didn't expect that his friends who had played since childhood had been separated by yin and yang. I am happy that Chu Chen can come to him, in his words, Lao Liu's son is my son.
And in his later life, it also proved that Wu Ziping liked Chu Chen from the bottom of his heart, greeted him with warmth on weekdays, and taught him the skills of appraising antiques hand-in-hand, which can be said to know everything.
It's just that Chu Chen is relatively independent, and for some other reasons, he doesn't want to live in Wu Ziping's house, nor does he want to work in his shop, so he came up with the idea of being an antique vendor.
However, Wu Ziping was not angry about this, on the contrary, he also instructed Chu Chen how to buy goods, and took him to meet the broker who took out the old house, which made him very moved. and the next few times when he was short of money, it was also the money that Wu Ziping lent him, and so on, and in the past few years, the relationship between the two of them has been like that of an uncle and nephew.
Chu Chen hadn't troubled Wu Ziping for a long time, and now if he asked him to borrow money, he would feel a little shameless in the face of Jiangdong's father. He gritted his teeth, forget it, and still got the colorful character bowl.
He took out a porcelain box from the bedroom and put it on the coffee table in the living room, ready to come back and enjoy it, but when he changed hands, he would not have a chance.
When you open the box, you will see a beautiful multicolored porcelain bowl.
The diameter of this bowl is 14.5 cm, the bowl is open, the belly is curved, and the foot is circled. The whole body is covered with blue and white glaze, the enamel is moist, the mouth is decorated with a blue and white pattern inside and outside, the inner mouth is decorated with colorful flowers and grass patterns, the inner bowl is painted with two blue and white patterns with colorful dragon and phoenix patterns, and the outer wall of the bowl is painted with blue and white colorful character patterns. The bottom of the "Ming Dynasty Wanli Year" six-character regular script entrustment.
Judging from its pulp and some other features, this should be an imitation of Wanli blue and white colorful figure bowl in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. This colorful character bowl is in good condition, the characters in the picture are lifelike, and it is very haode to support the artistic conception of this bowl, and the current market price should be between two and thirty thousand.
This bowl is according to Wu Ziping's guidance, Chu Chen picked up the leakage for the first time in his life, and it only cost two hundred yuan to buy it, which is of great significance to him, although the value is not very high, but it has always been collected by him.
Looking at this colorful character bowl Chu Chen sighed, if it wasn't really no way, he would definitely not choose to change this colorful character bowl, now while it is still in his hands, take a good look.
With a hint of frustration, Chu Chen picked up the bowl with his left hand.
At this moment, a wonderful feeling came from his hand, and Chu Chen was surprised to find that a trace of breath was actually sucked into his left hand from the bowl, and this breath brought him the feeling that it was like eating a popsicle on a hot day, his whole body was refreshed, and the aftertaste was endless.
After Chu Chen recovered from this state, he was immediately startled by this sudden strangeness, and he was so frightened that he almost threw away the bowl he was holding in his hand, thinking that this could not be a ghost, right? Or is it all an illusion?
Chu Chen thought about it, although that state was less than half a second, all the feelings were clear, and it was definitely not an illusion. He raised his left hand and looked at it again, but he didn't find anything unusual, his left hand was still his left hand, and he didn't make a golden hand. Then he looked left and right at the bowl, and he didn't find any problems at all.
Chu Chen thought to himself, hey! It's weird!
After thinking about it for a long time, Chu Chen didn't come up with a reason, and Zuihou wondered if it was only the first contact that would produce that kind of airflow, since that was the case, then find something to try.
Chu Chen hurriedly came to the several baskets in the living room, which contained all kinds of porcelain antiques, of course, these were all handicrafts, and these were his eating guys.
He took a deep breath and slowly picked up a porcelain vase with his left hand, but the result was extremely disappointed, there was no reaction at all, and then he changed several pieces of porcelain, and the result was the same.
"What's going on?"
Chu Chen frowned, pacing back and forth in the living room in confusion, could it be that the situation just now was just a flash in the pan? After almost a meal back and forth, he suddenly stopped suddenly.
"That's right! What I just took is just a handicraft, not a real antique, and it is very likely that the ability just now will only appear in the real antique. ”
Thinking about it, Chu Chen made another difficulty, he now has no real antique porcelain around him, and without the object of this experiment, he is not blind, it seems that he can only go to Uncle Wu to try.
Thinking of this, Chu Chen was excited and prepared to go to Uncle Wu's antique shop, just walked a few steps, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, no, he didn't have other antiques, but there were always ordinary copper coins in ancient times, although this thing was not worth a few dollars, but I have to admit that it is also an antique.
Chu Chen immediately returned to the basket, and before verifying, he thought silently in his heart.
"Must succeed, must succeed!"
After that, Chu Chen did not hesitate, and directly picked up a Kangxi ingots from the basket, and suddenly, a much weaker breath than just now was sucked into his left hand from the copper coin like just now, but that breath was really too weak, if he hadn't concentrated his attention, he might not have noticed it.
