After coming out of Zuoshan, Chu Chen and Hu Yong came to the ward where Lu Fuquan and his wife were not far away.

After several months of treatment, Sister-in-law Lu's injuries have basically healed, and she will be discharged from the hospital in a few days.

When the couple saw Chu Chen come in, they were very happy, and hurriedly invited Chu Chen and Hu Yong to sit down, and made a cup of tea for the two.

"Sister-in-law, how do your legs feel now?" Chu Chen asked with a smile.

"I feel better, but the doctor wants me to stay for a few days." Sister-in-law Lu frowned a little when she said this, she had been in the hospital for several months, so she was very worried about the situation at home.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, what the doctor said is also for your good." Besides, in a few days, you will be discharged from the hospital, you have been staying for so long, and you are not in a hurry. ”

Although Lu Fuquan also remembered the situation at home, he still agreed with what Chu Chen said in his heart, and said:

"Chen Wazi is right, after all, we have spent so much money on treatment, in case there is any problem, it's not a waste of money!"

"Crow's beak!" Sister-in-law Lu glanced at her husband when she heard this.

Chu Chen smiled and asked, "Brother Fuquan, when will the doctor let you be discharged from the hospital?" ”

"Probably the twentyth." Lu Fuquan replied.

"Twenty!" Chu Chen said: "I'm going to leave for Myanmar on the 18th, and I don't think I will have time to come over by then." ”

Lu Fuquan hurriedly said: "It's okay! It's okay! We are all so adults, we will do it ourselves. ”

Chu Chen nodded, this kind of thing just needs to say hello in advance. "At that time, I will have an essay on the establishment of a scholarship," he said. Please bring it to the old headmaster. ”

Originally, it was nothing to bring a text to Chu Chen, and it was such a good thing. Of course, there was nothing to excuse, and Lu Fuquan and his wife hurriedly agreed.

After chatting for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Chu Chen and Hu Yong said goodbye together.

…………

The next day is the second day of the second lunar month, also called the dragon raised its head, commonly known as the green dragon festival, the legend is the day when the dragon raised its head, it is a traditional festival in the countryside of our country, called "dragon head festival". As the saying goes, "February two." The dragon raised its head, and everyone made small households plough cattle. At this time, the yang energy is rising, the earth is thawing, and spring plowing is about to begin, which is the time to transport manure and prepare for farming.

Chu Chen lived in the countryside when he was a child, so at this time of year, the village would celebrate the "Dragon Head Festival". In order to show respect to the dragon and pray for rain, let God bless the harvest.

However, now that I live in the city, I don't have this event. Even some people don't know about this festival at all, and sometimes Chu Chen is thinking that people are getting more and more food, clothing, housing and transportation now. But traditional culture is declining more and more, which is the progress of culture in the end. Or is it a step backwards?

I sighed a little and had breakfast. Chu Chen said hello to his parents, drove to Uncle Wu's house, and took him to his shop.

When he got there, Chu Chen dealt with some work matters before he walked next door to look at the progress of the decoration.

In fact, if it were renovated like the main store, the next door should have been completed by now, but this side is used as a place to entertain VIPs, and the decoration must be more meticulous and longer.

After turning around and asking a few more questions to the person in charge, Chu Chen walked back to the main store with satisfaction, according to the current progress, in another week, it can basically be completed, and when he comes back from England, it will be ready to open.

When Chu Chen was walking to the door, he saw Zhu Dafu and others walking over together.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Qiao Qingtai said with a smile: "Xiao Chu, you have too many good things, after I watched it yesterday, I didn't sleep well at night, you look at me, your eyes are still red!" ”

As he spoke, he jokingly pointed to one of his eyes.

Everyone else also nodded in agreement, when they saw so many treasures yesterday, they were not only dumbfounded, but also very envious and jealous, especially when they heard that these things were almost all picked up by Chu Chen, and their eyes almost protruded.

Chu Chen smiled: "Then you don't sleep for a while?" ”

"What's going on?" Qiao Qingtai shook his head again and again: "I finally came to the capital, how can I fall behind?" ”

Chu Chen smiled and asked, "Then what are you going to do today?" Go to the market or take another look at my collection? ”

"If we don't look at it, our eyes will fall out if we look at it again." Meng Yi smiled and joked first.

An Gongshi also smiled and said, "Yes! As the old saying goes, if you see it, you have it, and now it's just right, if you look at it again, I want to grab it! ”

Everyone laughed for a while, and then, Zhu Dafu said: "We are going to go to Chengtian today, will you go?" ”

Zhu Dafu said that Cheng Tian is the name of a hotel, most people only know that there is a Panjiayuan antique city in the capital, but the real antique businessman knows that there is a Cheng Tian hotel in the capital.

In the 90s of the last century, Panjiayuan business was booming, and a large number of antique merchants from the southern provinces carried antiques to Panjiayuan every week to find buyers, and Chengtian Hotel was a place to provide accommodation for these merchants.

Later, the merchants "woke up" and thought that why not put out the antique collection in the hotel, so that all players and merchants can see their "treasures".

As a result, for a time, Chengtian Hotel became a "hot spot for antiques". In this way, Chengtian Hotel gradually developed into a professional market for antique merchants to make friends and buy and sell antiques, which also attracted a large number of professional buyers to Taobao.

At Chengtian Hotel, Chu Chen hadn't been there for a long time, so he happily agreed. Later, he went into the store again and asked Uncle Wu if he was going, and Uncle Wu happily agreed.

The group came to Chengtian Hotel in a big way, because the time had passed nine o'clock, and there was not a lot of people here.

Standing at the door of the hotel, Zhu Dafu said: "There are so many of us, it's not convenient to enter the room together, why don't you look at it separately?" ”

"Okay!" Everyone agreed, and then they prepared to walk to the hotel.

"You're with me!" Meng Yixian saw Ji Haoliang walking straight inside, so he quickly stopped him.

"Why?" Ji Haoliang pursed his lips.

"Just rely on your family Huizhen's instructions to me before leaving, if you have the ability, you will rebel against her." Meng Yixian said with a smile.

"Rebellion is rebellion!" Ji Haoliang muttered. But that being said, he really wanted to do it. He certainly wouldn't dare.

Meng Yi smiled first, and then walked to the hotel by himself. Although Ji Haoliang was extremely unwilling, he could only follow honestly.

Seeing this, Chu Chen couldn't help but smile secretly, and then walked in as well.

From 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the hotel, it is the time when there are the most customers, and in the afternoon, there are much fewer people. As for the customers who come here, most of them are antique lovers in the capital, and there are also shops and skewer sellers.

Because of this. There are more insiders here, they have their own unique principles when buying goods, and it is difficult to be deceived by sellers, and because of this, the goods here are generally easier to sell at a glance, miscellaneous, or fakes, and there are basically not many people patronizing.

Of course. It is impossible to say that there are no fakes in the antique industry, and there are also many fakes here, so when you should pay attention, you should still be careful.

Walk into the hotel. Chu Chen saw that many rooms had their doors open to welcome visitors from all over the world.

At Chengtian Guesthouse. Tenants are broadly divided into three situations, one is long-term staying. Sell goods in the form of a stall. One is to make an appointment with the old customer to stay for a day or two. Buying and selling to make achievements go.

Finally, there is a kind of person who comes to Panjiayuan and other places on weekends to shop for cultural relics and antique markets, and stays for three or five days at most, and those who are close to the capital come almost every week, rain or shine.

Chu Chen saw that everyone went into the room to pick up the goods, and he also chose a room and walked in.

The owner of this room is a man in his thirties, he just nodded and smiled when he saw Chu Chen come in, and did not mean to introduce his collection, this is also because many of the people who come here are insiders, and they know how the goods are.

Although Chu Chen is young, he is also an insider, and he only cares about introducing his things with good words, which will be a joke in vain in the end.

The owner didn't have many things, only seven or eight pieces of porcelain, three of which were all colorful candlesticks, but it was these three candlesticks that aroused Chu Chen's interest.

In fact, the reason why Chu Chen is interested in the Doucai candlestick is also because last night, he had already baked the next few pages of blank paper with an alcohol lamp, and as he expected, there were indeed things recorded on those blank papers.

It's just that after he read it, he was somewhat disappointed that the five blank pieces of paper were just six related things drawn, and relevant introductions were written. In addition to the three items that I found the treasure map before, the other two pages are a colorful candlestick, and on the last page, a chest and a key are drawn.

Other than that, there are no other clues on paper.

For this kind of result, Chu Chen was somewhat depressed, he originally thought that he could find any useful clues, but he didn't expect it to be this, although these pictures are also helpful to him, but in fact it is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack, it can only be regarded as better than nothing.

Shaking his head secretly, Chu Chen stepped forward, nodded to the owner, and then picked up the candlestick and observed.

The candlestick has appeared in the Three Kingdoms and the Two Jin Dynasty periods, when it was a celadon candlestick, and there were various different shapes, there were sheep-shaped candlesticks in the Three Kingdoms, and the lion-shaped candlesticks prevailed in the two Jin Dynasty.

In the Southern Dynasties, the shape of the candlestick gradually became more and more complex, its special shape of the base is an inverted lotus canopy, engraved with lotus ornaments, on the top of the horizontal bar partition, on the board placed four bamboo cups of the same size, can be inserted several candles at the same time. Sui and Tang candlesticks are exquisitely carved.

The Ming Dynasty candlesticks are rich in shape, and have high artistic appreciation value, among them, Yongle, Xuande Jingdezhen kiln fired candlesticks, the mouth and pedestal are octagonal, the neck is cylindrical. During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, the candlestick had a tubular column standing on the high platform, and the shape of the candlestick after the Qing Dynasty basically inherited this style......
