Chen Qianshu heard the news and said in surprise: "Ling Mei." It's better to come early than to come at a good time. Come on in, I've just received a few good things, you can see if it's worth it. ”

Ling Mei didn't have time to make a noise, so she interrupted him and said, "Old Chen, I'm in trouble today." Tell me the police. Someone is selling antiques from tomb robberies. ”

Chen Qianshu's face changed, and without saying a word, he immediately went back to the back room and dialed the phone number of the nearby public security.

In the phone, Ling Mei described in great detail the appearance of the man who had just sold his Buddha statue and the artifacts in his possession.

The more the police listened, the more solemn their voices became: "Miss Xiao, right?" Thank you for your report. There have indeed been several serious grave robberies recently, and the State is tracing stolen cultural objects. Where is your exact address now? The Municipal Criminal Investigation and Public Security will immediately send someone to Panjiayuan to look for you. ”

Ling Mei then reported the location of Chen Qianshu's shop.

Chen Qianshu had already looked at the wooden Buddha statues and brocades she had received on her eucalyptus table, and exclaimed: "If I guess correctly." The Liao Dynasty Buddha statue with such an obvious style is so well-made, it should have been stolen from the imperial tomb in Liaoning. ”

He asked Ling Mei curiously, "How do you know that it was a tomb robber who sold your Buddha statue?" ”

Ling Mei snorted at the brocade and explained: "He wrapped the cultural relics with this weathered brocade. ”

They are all people in the cultural relics circle, and Chen Qianshu immediately understood the reason. Rejoicing: "I'm glad you reacted quickly." ”

Ling Mei had time to look around at the antique decoration in the tea room. Bogu Frame, the forest on the ground all kinds of treasures, smiled: "Your tearoom is terrible." I don't know how much of a courtyard house it's worth. ”

Chen Qianshu smiled: "Chen Qianyan is not called in vain. It's also my luck in the past few years. The treasures received are not bad. He pointed to the ancient porcelain painting on the table and said, "Come, look at this porcelain, how about it?" ”

Ling Mei's eyes lit up slightly, and she praised: "Old Chen, I really don't know anything about antiques." It's just a feeling. It's good if it feels right. ”

Boss Chen was overjoyed: "No wonder we are destined." I also feel like looking at antiques. But that's how it feels, and some people are unsure of what they can do all their lives. Some people, like you, are born with that wisdom root. ”

Ling Mei smiled and looked at the white, ruler-high porcelain ou on the table. With her meager knowledge of porcelain, it can be seen that this is the fixed porcelain among the four famous porcelains. The shape is full, and the embossed rose pattern on the bottle body is exquisite. It can be determined by her artistic attainments in her previous life, at least in the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

Xiao Jin praised: "Not bad." There is growth. Eight or nine is not far from ten. ”

"Huh." Ling Mei's eyes were sharp, and she found a gap in the bottom of the vase. "It's a pity."

Chen Lao blinked: "So, you came just in time." Don't you know a master of cultural restoration? How about it, can you tell us about it? ”

Ling Mei suddenly said: "What did you think about this idea?" ”

Chen Lao took a sip of tea with a smile: "Who made your corolla repair too well?" I'm thinking about it. ”

Most of the things about the flower crown were told to Chen Lao by Jia Ying and the couple. Ling Mei grinned: "Okay." If you don't worry, leave it to me. ”

Old Chen smiled: "My own family, what is there to worry about?" ”

He called the guys in the store to pack and place the porcelain, and asked, "How much do you know about ancient paintings?" ”

Ling Mei shook her head: "I really don't understand." But I found a fan the year before last. There is Guo Moruo's words hidden in it. ”

Old Chen sighed: "Then you have to hide it well." His Mobao, I'm bullish - big up! ”

As he spoke, he took the things on the table and asked, "Did you receive any other treasures today?" ”

Ling Mei was busy giving him the stone Buddha head and pocket watch he bought.

"Hmm. This little stone Buddha is really good. Chen Lao took a magnifying glass to study, "Looking at its face shape and the characteristics of the withering work, it should be from the Tang Dynasty-" He suddenly lost the magnifying glass and rummaged through the ancient shelves.

Ling Mei was stunned: "What are you looking for?" ”

"Familiar. I look familiar with your Buddha statue. Chen Lao rummaged through the cabinets and searched for a long time, and finally turned out a small box in a box.

Wiping his sweat, he asked a little excitedly: "Come, the time has come to witness the miracle." ”

He opened the box, and inside was the body of a half-stone Buddha. and Ling Mei's Buddha head together, it turned out to be disrespectful and tight.

Old Chen laughed happily, and Ling Mei was also stunned: "What, such a coincidence?" ”

"As long as you are in our circle, there will always be some coincidences." He smugly pointed to the purple sand teapot on the table. "See, I got that teapot more than twenty years ago. It is a masterpiece of the Ming Dynasty. When collecting, there is only the body of the pot without the lid. Two years ago, I accidentally found the lid of the pot in the glass factory. ”

He handed the stone Buddha to Ling Mei: "You take it and let someone repair it." It's rare to see such a beautiful stone statue, so put it away. ”

Ling Mei looked up: "You-send me?" ”

Chen Lao waved his hand: "Take it, take it." It's just that I asked you to find someone to repair the porcelain. ”

Ling Mei was also not polite, and happily accepted it: "Then I still earned it." Thank you. ”

Chen Lao shouted: "This pocket watch is worn out like this." How much money did you get it? ”

Ling Mei was embarrassed to say that she spent 300 to buy a broken pocket watch, and said, "It's an addition to the stone statue." ”

Old Chen sighed, that's pretty much it.

He mixed some potion to wash away the old mud and blackness from his pocket watch, and in a few moments, it was shining white gold.

The movements of Chen Lao's hands were even more gentle, and under his treatment, a circle of finely carved curly grass patterns on the outer layer of the surface was undoubtedly displayed. Each curly grass pattern has a diamond-encrusted base, but unfortunately the diamond has already been pried clean.

Chen Lao rested for a while, changed the potion and continued to clean up. The brush sweeps over the case, revealing a beautiful royal blue sheen.

Ling Mei's eyes widened: "This is enamel, right?" ”

"Yes." Old man Chen continued to clean up without lifting his head.

It's a pity that the enamel is mottled and more than half of it is missing. Let Mei Wei think how beautiful and moving it should be when it shines with diamonds when it is intact?

The case was almost cleaned, and Chen Lao used a small carving knife to pry open the dial.

The outer ring of the dial is made of gold and enamel, and the inner part is made of white butterfly shells, but unfortunately it is not well kept, and the chassis has turned yellow.

Old Chen said in a low voice: "Clocks and watches are antiques, and the first movement is valuable. If the movement is original and good, just make up for it with gemstone pearls on the outside. If the movement is broken. That's not worth much. ”

The pocket watch was worn out like this, and the movement inside was, as expected, a mess.

"If it's like this, there's nothing the master can do. It's a pity. Chen Lao closed the lid of the watch. When I looked up, I saw that Ling Mei's eyes were shining, full of surprise.

"Old Chen, look at the brand of pocket watches."

Mr. Chen is not the most knowledgeable about foreign watch brands. Under Ling Mei's guidance, she spelled out the English on the dial: "Patek Philippe." ”

"Patek Philippe, old man." Ling Mei's eyes were starry.
