The last blue and white dragon and phoenix pattern wash in the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty is not only exquisitely made, but also the most valuable one among the three indevotional gifts of Chai Pingli, Chu Chen estimated that there are more than six million.

Three things, worth tens of millions, Chai Pingle's sincerity is also full, Chu Chen is still very satisfied, but fortunately it is Chu Chen, it is difficult to speak, Chai Pingle's apology is compared with Mr. Zhang, Chai Pingle estimated that he had to lose his wife and soldiers.

After seeing Chai Pingle's apology, Xu Lao appreciated the three things sent by Mr. Zhang, and at the end, he said with a smile: "As the old saying goes, cranes and mussels compete for fishermen and profits, and the ancients don't deceive me!" However, this kind of thing, it is better to touch less in the future, otherwise if you are so anxious one day, your heart will be a little unbearable! ”

Chu Chen nodded again and again and said yes, although he took advantage of some advantages because of this incident, and at the same time made a new discovery. But if the other party succeeds, or if the manuscripts are damaged, then he must not die of depression.

Next, the three chatted for a while, and Xu Lao invited the two to his room to appreciate the apology gifts given to him by Mr. Zhang and Chai Pingle.

The apology gift to Xu Lao is much worse than Chu Chen's value, but Xu Lao is not much dissatisfied with this, in his words, there is no need to be angry about this matter. Besides, he is also an old Jianghu, and he knows what Chai Pingle is doing for them.

After staying at Mr. Xu's place until dinner time, Chai Pingle and Mr. Zhang came over together to invite the three of them to participate in the atonement dinner they prepared. Originally, Chu Chen and Wu Ke didn't want to agree, but Xu Lao couldn't wipe his face, and in the end, Chu Chen could only go with him.

Needless to say, the dishes at the dinner party will be said. There are all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas, if you are not afraid of backfire. Chai Pingle wanted to bring some things that couldn't be eaten normally to the table.

Nevertheless. But Chu Chen didn't like people like Chai Pingle, and he agreed to come over just because of Xu Lao's face, and in the end, although he didn't break up unhappily, Chu Chen and Wu Ke didn't eat such a delicious meal.

As for Chai Pingle and Mr. Zhang, who frequently apologized and toasted, Chu Chen just dealt with it politely, anyway, there would be no intersection in the future, and the meaning would pass.

Early the next morning, Chu Chen asked someone for help. Ship his manuscript and the apology he received yesterday back to the capital. Then, he said goodbye to Xu Lao, who was about to go home, got into a taxi with Wu Ke, first went to the antique market to buy a white jade carved incense jar, and two jade pendants as gifts, and then went to Ning Yi's house as a guest.

On the way, Wu Ke discussed with Chu Chen yesterday's pen holder because of curiosity, and she felt that Zhang Huoclay made three things with basically the same scenery. It is likely that there is something hidden in it, and many ideas have been proposed, among which there is even speculation about whether it is related to any treasure, which also makes Chu Chen sigh that a woman's intuition is indeed powerful.

Speaking of which. Sooner or later, Chu Chen will tell Wu Ke and his family, because if there is really a jade seal. It's not something that can be explained by a single sentence. Besides, he didn't really have any intention of owning it. The influence of the jade seal on the Chinese people is too great, and this kind of thing is not suitable for personal collection at all. At that time, it is better to dedicate it to the country, and the origin of the things will have to be explained to some extent.

However, although the matter of the treasure map can be told to the family, it will have to wait until the treasure map is fully collected, because Chu Chen is not very convenient to explain the source of the treasure map and find clues to the remaining parts. When the treasure map is collected, it will be fine, and then he can be said to have found it in such and such a box or bottle, and as for why it is not a whole one, he can find a reason to fool it in.

Therefore, when discussing the bottle and pen holder with Wu Ke, Chu Chen did not reveal the matter of the treasure map, and of course there was no result in the discussion.

Speaking of which, Chu Chen also had some guesses about these three things, and he felt that the clue should be the difference between the landscape figure paintings, that is, to find them from the different positions and movements of the characters in the landscape paintings. But this also has to put three things together to facilitate observation, and we can only wait until we return to Beijing.

The taxi stopped at the door of the villa where Ning Yi lived, Chu Chen made a phone call, and immediately a sweet-looking girl of seventeen or eighteen years old walked out.

The girl looks a little similar to Ning Yi, Chu Chen guessed that it should be Ning Yi's daughter, and sure enough, according to Tong Guò, the girl is indeed Ning Yi's daughter Ning Kejing.

Ning Kejing's personality is relatively big, as soon as she saw Chu Chen and Wu Ke, she showed a shocked expression, and when she took the two of them to her house, she praised her talent and beauty, if her boyfriend was as handsome as Chu Chen, it would be so good, anyway, all the way to the end, her mouth never stopped.

Wu Ke is also a person who can speak well, no matter what she says, she can talk, and after a while, the two of them became best friends, which also made Chu Chen suffer, and he could only deal with it with a wry smile in just a few hundred meters.

When they arrived at Ning Yi's house, while Chu Chen and Ning Yi and his wife greeted each other, they also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said in their hearts: "I'm finally relieved!" ”

In the end, it was their own daughter, Ning Yi and his wife knew Ning Kejing's character too well, and when they saw Chu Chen's expression as if he had escaped from the sea of suffering, they didn't understand what was going on.

Mrs. Ning glared at Ning Kejing: "You girl annoys you Brother Xiaochen again, right?" ”

Seeing Ning Kejing secretly glance at herself, Chu Chen hurriedly smiled and waved his hand and said, "Auntie, Xiao Jing didn't bother me. ”

Hearing this, Ning Kejing also breathed a sigh of relief, she was most afraid of her mother's nagging at home.

After all, there were guests there, and Mrs. Ning didn't blame much, she shook her head and said, "You girl, I don't know who will stand you in the future!" ”

Ning Ke said coquettishly: "Mom, I want to be with you and Dad all the time, so I don't want to get married!" ”

Seeing this, the other people smiled knowingly.

Then, Ning Yi invited: "Xiaochen, don't stand at the door, let's go in......"

Walking into the living room with Chu Chen and Wu Ke, Ning Yi invited the two to sit down at an antique tea table.

"Uncle Ning, this is for you!"

Saying that, Chu Chen pushed a brocade box to Ning Yi, and then he handed the brocade box containing the jade pendant to Mrs. Ning's mother and daughter.

"What is it?"

Ning Yi was not very polite, and when he opened the box, he saw that it was a white jade carved incense pot.

The quality of this utensil is uniform, carved from seeds, the shape of the work is elegant, the lines are beautiful and gentle, the eviscerations are clean and neat, and the case is placed in a few cases, and the elegance of the room is suddenly increased, and Ning Yi can't help but applaud continuously.

The pendant given to Mrs. Ning's mother and daughter is also carved from high ice jadeite, and the mother and daughter like it very much, both in terms of material and style.

Ning Yi has two hobbies, one is tea tasting, and the other is incense, so when he saw such a good incense pot, he immediately seemed a little in love with it, and exclaimed: "Good thing!" Since it was something sent by you, a billionaire, Xiaochen, then I will be disrespectful! ”

Mrs. Ning knew some of Chu Chen's situation, and it was nothing after listening to what Ning Yi said. Ning Jingjing heard that Chu Chen was actually a billionaire, and she couldn't help but have little stars in her eyes, Chu Chen was so handsome and golden, he was completely the prince charming in her mind!

However, when I thought that Chu Chen and Wu Ke were about to get married, I couldn't help but feel a little depressed and angry, why are good men in other people's bowls!

Not to mention that Ning was depressed there, and after a few words of greeting, Chu Chen looked at the tea table in front of him, this table is made of Xiangfei bamboo as the main material, the shape is simple and elegant, simple and generous, quite good.

"Uncle Ning, your tea table should be some years old!"

Ning Yi smiled and nodded: "I met it in the antique market a few years ago, and the store said that it was from the Republic of China, right?" ”

Chu Chen affirmed: "That's right, specifically, it should be from the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China!" ”

Mrs. Ning said angrily when she heard this: "Now don't worry, I can't get to this table all day long, you can just invite an expert to come back and take a look!" ”

Ning Yi was very happy when he heard that the things had arrived, and he said: "Isn't it a bad impact, when I bought it, it was cheap, only more than five thousand yuan, and now it is far more than that." ”

Chu Chen nodded, a Xiangfei table like this, the current market price is at least seventy or eighty thousand, and five thousand yuan can't even buy a table leg.

Mrs. Ning disagreed: "Let's not steal and rob, what's the bad impact of this!" ”

"As the old saying goes, three people become tigers, and more things are better than less things!"

Ning Yi waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about it, next, please compensate me for my craftsmanship, I haven't done it myself for a long time, and I don't know if I have regressed." Xiao Jing, go and bring your spices, let's taste tea and fragrance today! ”

Chu Chen said with a smile: "It seems that Coco and I are blessed today......

Although Ning Yi usually doesn't have much time to make tea by himself because of his identity, his talent in tea ceremony is very high.

Ning Yi is very talented in the tea ceremony, and Ning Jing is not bad in the incense ceremony, when she began to study incense, the whole person became quiet, and it seemed to be like two people just now.

Ning Kejing adopts the method of taking incense through the fire, pondering carefully, slowly burning the incense, cutting into small pieces of agarwood in the incense burner, and the fine charcoal buried in the incense ash simmers to make the fragrance burst. The curling fragrance rising from the furnace is combined with the tea smoke stirred up by the high rush of the hanging pot. For a time, the house was filled with the fragrance of agarwood and tea, refreshing people's hearts.

Next, everyone began to taste incense and tea, and Ning Jing passed the incense burner to Chu Chen first.

Don't think that the incense burner can be passed at will, in fact, it is very particular, the steps are passed from the left hand of the previous person to the right hand of the next person, and the next right hand takes the incense three times, and then passes it to the right hand of the next person with the left hand......
