Since we decided to wait and see, let's find a hotel to stay in.

In the car, Hu Yong said: "Brother Chu, the staff member just now said that the Yuan family still owes some money, if you don't pay, the Yuan family's kid will be locked up for a little longer, do you think Yuan Dazhong's son will sell those materials for money for this matter?" ”

To say, ordinary people will not sell the things left by the elder when he has just died, but in reality, there are many people who lack the heart, plus the son is still in prison, and the parents are anxious, if someone bids high, maybe they will really sell it.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen said to Zuo Shan, who was driving, "Let's go to the address we just gave first." ”

Zuo Shan answered, and then under the guidance of GPS, he drove to the address given by the neighborhood committee just now.

After about forty or fifty minutes, the car passed through the city and stopped at the entrance of a village on the outskirts of Gu City, where Yuan Dazhong's wife and children now live. It is said that this is still the farmhouse left to them by Yuan Dazhong's father-in-law when he died, and if it weren't for that, they would still have to rent a house to live in.

"Hey, you can't be mistaken, why can't you even hear the mourning music?" Hu Yong asked a little strangely.

Zuo Shan was speechless when he heard this: "His family is like this, can he afford to invite a military band?" ”

"That's right." Hu Yong scratched his head: "Then let's go over and have a look now?" But when we get there, should we go in? ”

Chu Chen was also a little embarrassed about whether to go in, after all, they didn't know each other, so there was no proper reason to go to mourn.

"Let's take a look before we talk ......"

Because the village road is not too wide. They drove a relatively large business car, so Chu Chen and Hu Yong got out of the car and walked. Let Zuoshan stay here to watch the car.

As soon as the two of them got out of the car, another Santana came from the road.

"Hey. Curator Chu ......"

Chu Chen just wanted to leave, but he didn't expect a shout to come out of this car, and when he looked back, he didn't expect that it was really an acquaintance.

This person's name is Ren Fan, an expert in the study of calligraphy, painting and ancient books in the antique industry in Gu City, and he has met in the antique exchange meeting in Star City before, and later Chu Chen invited him to attend the opening ceremony of his museum.

Ren Fan is in his sixties, and he looks a little like Atubo in the game, and he looks very kind. He got out of the car and stepped forward to greet Chu Chen warmly.

After a few pleasantries. Ren Fan asked with some curiosity: "Curator Chu, you also came to mourn Lao Yuan?" ”

The reason why Ren Fan feels curious is also simple, although Yuan Dazhong has studied the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" very deeply and can be said to be a senior expert, but this reputation is only spread in a small circle, coupled with Yuan Dazhong's withdrawn personality, it should not be possible to know Chu Chen, so he wonders why Chu Chen will also get the news?

"That's the case...... Chu Chen explained the reason to Ren Fan a little: "Actually, I'm quite embarrassed." After all, the talent has just left, and I will talk about this matter, which is really inappropriate. ”

"Oh, that's what happened." Ren Fan had a sudden look on his face. said: "That's it, I'll talk to Xiao Yuan in a while, and he will agree." But these two days will definitely not work. ”

Hearing this, Chu Chen hurriedly expressed his gratitude: "It's okay for me to be two days late......"

Next, several people walked towards their destination.

Ren Fan said as he walked: "Speaking of which." I've heard that several people want to buy Yuan's research materials, if you come a few days later. Maybe someone else will get there first. ”

"What do they want this for?" Hu Yong asked curiously.

Ren Fan said with a smile: "Let's not talk about anything else, there shouldn't be any problem with using it as a material for writing a book, right?" The information that Lao Yuan studied is very detailed, and the last time I saw him, he also told me that he was ready to start writing a book, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, and the world is unpredictable! ”

Saying that, Ren Fan shook his head and sighed, quite sympathetic to Yuan Dazhong's experience.

When the group came to a farmhouse that looked in disrepair, they saw a few wreaths placed at the door, and the house was a little deserted, and they basically didn't see a few mourners coming.

Seeing Chu Chen and the others, a middle-aged man of forty-seven or eighteen years old with filial piety immediately walked out, this person was Yuan Dazhong's son Yuan Guocai, and he greeted Ren Fan: "Uncle Ren, you are here!" ”

"Festival mourning......" Ren Fan comforted him, and didn't say anything, so he let the man take them into the house to mourn.

Then, Ren Fan called the man out of the house, and then introduced Chu Chen.

Yuan Guocai's reaction was also fast, and as soon as Ren Fan finished introducing Chu Chen, he asked, "Director Chu, you must have come here because of my father's research materials, right?" ”

Ren Fan looked at Yuan Guocai and asked, "Xiao Yuan, looking at you like this, are there many people who come to ask?" ”

Yuan Guocai nodded and said: "It's true that there are not a few, I answered no less than five calls in just one morning, all because of this." ”

Hearing this, Chu Chen hurriedly asked, "Mr. Yuan, I don't know if you agreed?" ”

"Of course not." Yuan Guocai waved his hand: "As soon as my father left, I sold his life's work, am I still human?" ”

"Xiao Yuan, then you don't want to make a move?" Ren Fan asked.

"To be honest, I really don't want to make a move." Yuan Guocai smiled bitterly: "But like my family, there is really no way to sell it!" Ay! At the end of the day, it's all my bastard boy's fault. ”

Speaking of this, a look of shame appeared on his face, and he continued: "Of course, even if you want to sell, it will definitely not work in the past two days. ”

"And when are you going to do it?" Chu Chen hurriedly asked.

"In a few days, I'm going to talk about it in at least seven days."

Then, Yuan Guocai smiled bitterly again: "However, the victim's family also looked at me today, they asked for those materials, and if they gave them, my son's affairs would be written off, and if they didn't give it, they wouldn't stop." ”

Hearing Yuan Guocai say this, Ren Fan frowned and asked, "How much do you still owe them here?" ”

Yuan Guocai replied: "More than 10,000 and less than 20,000." Actually, so much money. I'll do it for a year or two at most, and I'll come out, and it's a big deal to give them a little interest. But they just don't agree, they have to have this information. It's so deceitful! Pushed me into a hurry. I copied those materials and spread them out! ”

Ren Fan sneered when he heard this: "With such a little money, they want to exchange the information back, dreaming!" ”

Yuan Guocai shook his head: "I also know what they think, anyway, I won't agree, it's just, that family is Laipi, and I can't make trouble." ”

Ren Fan said: "Don't be afraid of them, you just give him the money directly, and if he makes any more trouble, he will call the police over." I don't believe they can't be controlled. ”

"But the money ......"

"Mr. Yuan, I can pay some deposit in advance." Chu Chen interjected.

"Isn't that a bit out of place?" Yuan Guocai seemed a little hesitant.

Chu Chen said: "Mr. Yuan, I will give you this money by mistake, or we can set the price now, and we will definitely satisfy you." ”

Yuan Guocai thought for a while and said, "Director Chu, in fact, in addition to the money aspect, I also have a request that may embarrass you. ”

"You say."

"That's right, I want you to buy those materials back. In the future, I will publish a book on the famous "Classic of Mountains and Seas" by my father. ”

Speaking of this, Yuan Guocai went on to explain: "For this book, my only requirement is to have a guarantee in essence, let's talk ugly in front." If it's a perfunctory work, I have the right to take it back. ”

Chu Chen smiled and said, "No problem, I can promise you in this regard." ”

"That's fine. I'd like to wait until seven days to get to that. ”

"No problem......"

Next. Chu Chen first paid a deposit of 30,000 yuan, called Shangzuoshan to have lunch here together, and then said goodbye and left.

On the road. Ren Fan invited Chu Chen to sit in his shop, anyway, there was no urgency in the capital, so Chu Chen agreed with a smile.

Follow any fan's car, come to the largest antique market in Gu City, although today is Sunday, but there are not many people in the market, this is because it is already afternoon, and the other reason is that there are many people here every Thursday, when many stalls are all over the surrounding alleys.

Laughing all the way to Ren Fan's antique shop, everyone just walked to the door, and met two middle-aged men walking out of the store.

When one of them saw Ren Fan, he immediately laughed: "Hey, what a coincidence, we were just about to leave, and you came back." ”

Ren Fan smiled and said, "It turned out to be Boss Lu, did you fall in love with my collection of treasures again?" I sue you, don't even think about it! ”

Boss Lu laughed and said, "Old Ren, you have a lot of fine products in your collection, and it doesn't hurt to even one of them!" ”

Ren Fan shook his head again and again and said, "No, I don't know about you yet, there are one and two." ”

"That's a shame!" Boss Lu sighed regretfully, and then said: "Actually, I came here today, mainly because my friend has a painting of Yun Shouping that I want you to appraisal, I don't know if it's okay?" ”

In fact, under normal circumstances, anyone who does not like to appraise calligraphy and painting to strangers. As a connoisseur, it is gratifying to see a good work, knowing that there are many good works in this world, even if they are not their own.

As an owner, it is also very happy to appreciate and affirm the collection, and to have a little more understanding and love for the collection.

But, sadly, there aren't many of them. Many times, the treasure connoisseur often takes out a imitation, or a shoddy fake, and then waits for the result with anticipation, that kind of taste is not pleasant, and it is not good to say lightly or heavily, and the people who teach the appraisal are worried.

In addition, he had encountered a few quite unhappy things in the past, so he didn't like helping strangers identify. But after all, Boss Lu is his old customer, and he has known each other for a long time, so it is rare to ask him to appreciate the treasure, so he can only agree. (To be continued......)
