Chapter 205

Speaking of this, Zhao Heyan said indignantly: "our monitor's parents jumped off the building two months ago, and there are only one old and one young left. I thought no one would ask her family to collect debts again. I didn't expect that..."

At this time, Wen Xuelan just came in with a kettle. Wen Yan quickly said:

"don't get me wrong. After my parents left, no one came to ask us for debts. However, my grandmother and I thought it was not easy for others, so they decided to sell the house before and pay the debts. Although some of the money was not enough, I paid the rest slowly by doing odd jobs. One day, it will be better I paid it back. "

Although Wen Xuelan said that the wind was clear and the clouds were light, the spirit contained in his words made chuchen respect them.

Traditionally, it is said that the father owes the son, but now it is a legal society. Legally, children have no obligation to pay the debt for their parents.

So many people based on this, even if they have the ability, also refuse to return, this is really no problem in the law. But then again, other people's things are not stolen and robbed. If you have the ability to return them, it is not in line with the moral tradition.

And Wen Xuelan can still adhere to this fine tradition when she is so young and lives so hard, which makes Chu Chen feel very admire. He thinks that if there is a suitable opportunity, he can help them as much as he can.

However, since this is the case with Mrs. Wen's family, Chu Chen won't expect too much of the things that Mrs. Wen will take out later. If they are really good things, their family won't stay until now.

After a while, Mrs. Wen came in carefully with a brocade box in her arms. She put the box on the table and said, "look at this first. It's a purple clay pot handed down by my ancestor."

It was said that it was a purple clay pot, which made Chu Chen interested. However, he felt a little strange, so he asked, "Granny Wen, this purple clay pot should be very expensive. If it's really handed down by our ancestors, the price should not be cheap. Why don't you sell it?"

Old lady Wen said with a smile: "in the past, my old man said it was a purple clay pot. Although it was painted with flowers and plants, it was very beautiful, but it seemed to be coated with a layer of black paint. My son said it might not be purple clay, and it was not worth a lot of money. I didn't sell it at the beginning."

According to Mrs. Wen's description, Chu Chen immediately thought of the same craft. He quickly opened the box and looked at it. He immediately laughed and said, "Granny Wen, this is really a purple clay pot, but now the craft has been lost. It's called" palace purple clay painted gold. "

"Ah! Is it really purple sand? Is that worth the money? "

Chu Chen took a general look at the integrity of lacquer gold, thought about it, and said, "if it's true, it should be more than 100000 in terms of the current appearance."

"100000?"

When Mrs. Wen heard Chu Chen's offer, she was a little stunned. Then her tears welled up from her eyes, and she said with tears in her eyes:

"I said that we didn't understand. If we let others hold our hands, we might get a good price. He just didn't listen to me. I wanted to show it to others myself, but they just walked away and listened to me It will be like this! "

In fact, at that time, Wen Xuelan's parents had already lost their heart and were determined to die. How could they listen to what old lady Wen said. Moreover, at that time, they would not believe how much a teapot would cost.

Seeing this, Wen Xuelan choked and advised: "grandma, don't cry. Now things are like this. If you cry, what should I do?"

After listening to her granddaughter's advice, Mrs. Wen also reflected that now her family is dependent on them. If she really falls down, what can she do? How can she face her son and daughter-in-law.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wen wiped her tears and said with regret, "I'm sorry. I'm a little bit out of fashion. I don't know if you like it or not."

Chuchen said with a smile: "I haven't started yet, this..."

"Hi, I'm sorry to delay your time. Just look, just look."

Chu Chen nodded with a smile, put on his gloves, carefully picked up the teapot, and first looked at the bottom of the teapot. The six character three line seal script of "Qianlong year system of the Qing Dynasty" written in gold lacquer is neat, powerful, and standardized, which is the embodiment of Qianlong official script. When he saw these six words, he couldn't help but feel happy.

Paint tracing refers to the method of depicting patterns with various paints on the smooth lacquer floor (bottom). Gold tracing, also known as mud gold paint, refers to a decorative method of depicting various patterns with gold materials on the surface of utensils. This process is mostly used in lacquerware.

It is difficult to achieve a good effect in color by painting technology, so gold painting technology is applied to lacquerware, and black paint is often used as the ground, and a few red lacquer are also used. The combination of the two techniques makes the utensils more luxurious and colorful.

The decoration of purple clay pot with lacquer (XI) began in the Ming Dynasty. In the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, the technique of heavy color and gold depiction in lacquer painting was absorbed, and the pot body was decorated with splendor. This kind of skill was fully mature in Qianlong period, and lost after Jiadao period. We can see that it is precious.Because of this, Chu Chen was overjoyed to see that this teapot was a work of the Qianlong period.

This pot has smooth lines, short spout, curved handle and round feet. The cover is arched and decorated with jewel buttons. The shape of the whole ware is regular and simple. The inner tube is made of purple sand, and the outer cover is painted with black paint. It is painted with large golden chrysanthemums. The flowers are in full bloom, and the leaves are dyed red and green. A butterfly is flying in the flowers, which looks very interesting.

The problem of peeling off is the most important process to be solved in the process of painting gold color paint on purple sand. Once it is not well adhered, it will peel off in pieces. Purple sand lacquerware in Qianlong period solved this problem very well. This pot is still exquisitely painted with gold, and there is almost no paint gold falling off, which is very rare.

This teapot is exquisitely made and richly decorated, showing the exquisite artistic features of the Royal utensils. And it's so well preserved that Chu Chen can't put it down. Especially now that he's also learning tea ceremony, he loves it even more.

"Granny Wen, I like this pot very much. I don't know how much you want to pay for it?"

Old lady Wen waved her hand and said, "my old lady doesn't understand this either. Just give me a fair price."

"180000, Granny Wen, what do you think?"

Chu Chen's price has been very fair. Although this teapot is good, it is still made by famous people in the purple clay pot market, and is more popular. If he didn't want to help Mrs. Wen's family, and if he bought this teapot for his own use, he wouldn't have offered 180000 yuan.

Old lady Wen and Wen Xuelan were delighted to hear the price of 180000 yuan, but then they were a little dejected.

Old lady Wen shook her head and sighed, "young man, I'll give you this price, but how are you going to give me this money?"

Chu Chen was also stunned when he heard that he had just come here, but he really didn't expect this. Today is Sunday, the bank is closed, transfer is certainly not possible, and Mrs. Wen certainly can't have a card machine, as for the check, don't say you don't have it, even if there is, Mrs. Wen is not likely to accept it.

No way, he can only let his cousin call to ask Uncle, to save him.

Fortunately, Zhao Qirui still has 180000 yuan in cash. Chu Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said to Mrs. Wen, "Granny Wen, the money can only be taken after a while. I don't know if you have anything else here. As long as it's good, I'll take it."

With the bottom of the teapot, Mrs. Wen's mind became more active. She really didn't know that such a thing could sell for so much money.

Although I sold almost all the gold, silver and jade in my family because I had to pay off the debt before, there are still some small things in my family. Maybe there are good things in it. Maybe I can pay back the remaining 340000 yuan?

So Mrs. Wen turned around, pulled a bowl from one side of the cabinet, put it on the table, and asked, "young man, what do you think of this bowl?"

Seeing this, Wen Xuelan couldn't help saying: "grandma, this bowl, I had lunch at noon. How did you take it out? How impolite it is

Mrs. Wen was a little embarrassed and said, "this is also handed down from our ancestors. I was there when I married your grandfather. Maybe it's also an antique."

Wen Xuelan retorted: "grandma, how can this be possible? What's the value of this bowl even if it's antique? "

This is a blue and white Yunlong bowl. It seems that the blue and white is very pure, but it should be used all the year round. There are some slight hairy edges around the bowl mouth, so it doesn't look very good. So Wen Xuelan thinks that even if it's an antique, it's not worth a lot of money.

Zhao Heyan and they came up to have a look. They also felt that the hairiness greatly affected the beauty. If they were themselves, they would not buy such a thing.

At this time, chuchen said with a smile: "this bowl is really an antique. As for Maokou, although it will be discounted a little, it will not be worthless."

"Ah?"

Chuchen's words surprised other people, and old lady Wen was overjoyed. She said quickly, "young man, look at it first, then I'll look for other things." With that, he ran to the room in a hurry.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chu." Wen Xuelan said sorry.

Chu Chen waved his hand to show that it didn't matter. It's human nature. It's like a drowning man catching a life-saving straw. If it were someone else, it would not be much better than old lady Wen.

Then he picked up the blue and white bowl and observed it carefully.

This bowl, open, curved wall, deep belly, ring foot. White glaze is applied to the whole body. The bowl core and abdomen are decorated with cloud dragon fireball pattern. The hair color is clear, the Dragon posture is vigorous, the blue and white are gorgeous, and the painter is old and spicy. At the bottom is the six character regular script of "Yongzheng year system of Qing Dynasty", with neat and beautiful font.
