Chapter 590: Greed (I)
Zhenzhen waved his hand: "What's so reluctant about this, to be honest, I play antiques and play with more tickets, and I usually collect some relatively unpopular things, like this pair of hanging screens, I usually put them up, and I don't appreciate them much." ”
Chu Chen said with a smile: "Since this is the case, let's talk about the price of the hanging screen, I think the market price of the hanging screen should be worth 1.2 million yuan in terms of size and craftsmanship." ”
"How can there be so many!" Zhenzhen hurriedly retorted: "Brother Chu, your eyesight is indeed better than mine, but I have a little experience with the price of antiques, if the outside frame is still there, the one and two hundred thousand is really not much, but now that the frame is gone, it will definitely not be a million." ”
Chu Chen said: "That's it, since it's 66% off, then I'll pay you 660,000, these money to buy such a pair of hanging screens, I have already made a big bargain, no matter how little, I will be embarrassed." ”
Zhenzhen also knows that the market price of this pair of hanging screens is not one million, but also 900,000, and after thinking about it, he agreed, and everyone was happy.
Because he still had to pick up Wang Xiangong, everyone chatted for a while, and Chu Chen took Duan Kun's car and set off to the airport.
When I got there, I waited for another half an hour, and I waited for Wang Xiangong's figure.
On the way back to the hotel, Chu Chen asked, "Elder Wang, when are we going to go to your relative's house?" ”
Wang Xiangong said apologetically: "Xiao Chu, I'm really sorry, I'm in a hurry over there, I think we'll set off in the afternoon, I don't know if you have anything else here?" ”
Chu Chen smiled: "I don't have anything to do for the time being, I'm still a little bored, so I just happened to run with you." Rise in knowledge, but is your body able to eat? ”
Wang Xiangong also smiled: "It's okay." I'm still strong......"
Talking and laughing along the way, time passed quite quickly. After a while, Duan Kun's car drove to the hotel.
Liu Sizhe and Wang Xiangong also know each other, and they heard Chu Chen say that they were going to Fucheng to dig out a house, and they also had the idea of going together, but he had promised Wang Xiaoyue to travel before, so there was no way, and now it happened that Wen Meimei hadn't done it for the time being, so he wanted to go together.
This was just a trivial matter, Wang Xiangong agreed in one bite, so he had lunch. Everyone rested for a while to eliminate food, then got into the car borrowed by Duan Kun and drove towards Fucheng.
After a four-hour long journey, the group came to Zitong, which is under the jurisdiction of Fucheng. County.
Because Wang Xiangong's relatives still have to drive a distance, and there is a mountain road, it is winter now, it gets dark early, and it is inconvenient to stay at night there, so everyone decided to stay in the county first. The city rested for the night. We'll start tomorrow.
After a night without incident, everyone got up early, had breakfast and drove on the road.
At first, the road was quite easy to walk, but it didn't take long for the road to become potholes. Especially on one of the mountain roads, everyone's buttocks hurt, and it is no wonder that Wang Xiangong refused to come with Guan Guokang before.
Fortunately, the road is difficult to walk. It didn't get to the point where the vehicle couldn't pass through, and it was only less than two hours in total. Everyone will survive and it will be over.
Amid Liu Sizhe's complaints, the car slowly drove into the mountain village. Then stop in front of a typical Shuzhong-style house.
Chu Chen and the others got out of the car, and someone immediately greeted them from the house, led by an old man who looked to be over seventy years old and wore a cotton jacket, but his face was a little pale, and his spirit was not very good, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
"Second uncle, are you here......"
As soon as the old man spoke, Chu Chen and the others felt a little weird, they really didn't expect that this old man who was the same age as Wang Xiangong would actually be Wang Xiangong's junior.
The two sides exchanged pleasantries, and then Wang Xiangong briefly introduced Chu Chen and the others, and then said:
"Tianxin, you don't look very good!"
Wang Tianxin sighed: "People are old, useless, this body is not as good as a year, I was sick a few days ago, I almost thought I was going to see my ancestors!" ”
Wang Xiangong frowned and said: "Tianxin, I'm going to talk about you, since your body is just right, why don't you rest in the house, what if you suffer from the wind and cold again in this winter?" ”
At the beginning, Wang Xiangong's grandfather was able to return to his roots, basically relying on Wang Tianxin's help, so Wang Xiangong's sense of Wang Tianxin was not good, and during the New Year's holidays, he would also mail some special products from the capital to Wang Tianxin. The reason why Wang Xiangong came this time was also the relationship between Wang Tianxin and him.
Wang Tianxin waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you came all the way from the capital, and I should go out to pick it up!" Let's go, let's go inside......"
Saying that, Wang Tianxin invited everyone into the hall and sat down, asked his son to pour a glass of water for everyone, and said to Wang Xiangong: "Second uncle, you have to run in person, but I can only ask for your head." ”
Wang Xiangong shook his head: "Now that the transportation is developed, I can't talk about much hard work, but why do you want to sell the things left by your ancestors this time?" ”
"Hey!" Wang Tianxin sighed: "To be honest, I don't want to sell the things left by my ancestors, but I can't help it, Xiaozhuang is now working in the provincial capital, and he has a girlfriend, and even the child is pregnant. ”
Wang Tianxin's Xiao Zhuang is his little grandson, named Wang Zhuang, Wang Xiangong's memory, Wang Zhuang is indeed in the university of Shudu, at that time, because he was admitted to the university, Wang Xiangong also came back from the capital and gave a gift, but I didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, Wang Zhuang was not only already working, but even the child was about to have it.
However, Wang Zhuang didn't like it very much, although he had only seen him a few times, but Wang Zhuang didn't feel very good, and Wang Zhuang's father was the insatiable person he said earlier, so after Wang Tianxin said it, Wang Xiangong just said a few words without pain.
When Wang Tianxin saw Wang Xiangong's statement, he also sighed in his heart, who called his son too disagreeable?
Next, after a short chat between the parents of the two sides, Wang Tianxin's son and daughter-in-law walked in with a few things.
After the two of them put their things on the table, Wang Tianxin said: "Second uncle, take a look at these things, if you don't like them, there are still a few at home." ”
"Okay, second uncle, as long as the things are good, you will definitely not suffer."
Wang Xiangong nodded, and then gave Chu Chen an apologetic look, after all, they are relatives, and they are married, even if they don't wait to see each other, when they should support each other, they still have to support, as for Chu Chen to suffer a loss, he will definitely compensate when he returns to Beijing.
Chu Chen smiled slightly, he didn't care much in his heart, after all, this is also human nature. But when he saw the antiques on the table, he couldn't help frowning.
There are a total of five antiques on the table, two of which are jade, two porcelain, and a bronze mirror, what makes Chu Chen frown is that among these five things, the bronze mirror and the two porcelain are fakes at a glance, and after he has seen the two jade objects a little, he also confirmed that they are fakes.
Don't say it's Chu Chen, these five antiques, maybe it is difficult for people who don't know how to distinguish their authenticity, but even Liu Sizhe, after a while, he saw the problem. Could something like this be an ancestral heirloom? Think about it and know it's impossible!
Wang Tianxin immediately saw the strangeness on everyone's faces, and hurriedly asked: "Second uncle, what's wrong with you, don't you like these things, I'll let Ah Cheng get a few things immediately." ”
Wang Xiangong frowned and said: "Tianxin, it's not that we don't like these things, and there are problems with these things!" ”
Hearing Wang Xiangong say this, Wang Tianxin was a little anxious: "Something? This is impossible, these things are all passed down from ancestors! ”
"That's it!" Wang Tianxin's son Wang Cheng also muttered loudly: "Second grandfather, these things have been turned around for hundreds of years, how can there be a fake, it won't be that you won't see it!" ”
"How can you talk to your second grandfather!" Wang Tianxin reprimanded angrily, and then said to Wang Xiangong: "Second uncle, these things are what I have seen since I was a child, there should be no problem!" ”
Chu Chen picked up the bronze mirror and said, "Uncle Wang, you can't be mistaken!" If nothing else, let's just say that this bronze mirror is also fake, and it can't be fake. ”
Wang Cheng said with an angry face: "Young man, you have to be responsible for what you say!" Why do you say this bronze mirror is a fake? ”
Chu Chen sneered and said: "I won't tell you the truth or something, you can't understand it anyway, if you have soda in your house, then I can prove it to you right away!" ”
"I ......" Wang Cheng was already a little flustered at this time.
Wang Tianxin slapped the table violently: "Don't go get it yet!" ”
Up to now, even if Wang Tianxin is a little old and confused, he can see that there is a problem, but in his heart he still doesn't want his son to lie to him, even if the result is likely not what he wants, he also wants to give his son another chance.
At this point, Wang Cheng could only go to the kitchen to get soda.
Chu Chen said lightly: "By the way, don't forget to bring another bowl and a brush over......"
After a while, Wang Chengcheng walked in again with a few things Chu Chen said and put them on the table.
Chu Chen first checked the soda, then poured it into a bowl, soaked it in boiling water, and then said:
"The reason why I say that this copper mirror is fake, because the rust on the copper mirror is made of fake rust, the method of identifying real and fake rust is very simple, all imitation rust, regardless of the color, as long as you brush it with boiling water with alkali, the rust color will fall, and the fake will be exposed, and the real rust will be brushed with boiling water with alkali, but it will be more obvious......"
