Chapter 430

Chu Chen nodded after listening to the master's words. This painting is not only a masterpiece, but also the reputation of the author and the influence of the mural. If it is spread, it will certainly cause a sensation.

Oil painting has always been the dominant way of visual cultural expression in the eyes of foreigners. It can be said that oil painting is more important in the eyes of foreigners than antiques in the eyes of Chinese people. If foreign collectors knew that there was such a painting, it would be hard for Chu Chen to imagine how crazy they would be.

"Ah Chen, what are you going to do with this work?" Liu asked.

"Of course, it's a collection. I won't change hands on such works for the time being." Chu Chen naturally said.

"In other words, you may change hands later?" Old Liu heard Chu Chen's implication.

"It's possible. If someone can get an equivalent antique, I may change it. Of course, the premise is that the person who changes it must be a foreigner."

Listen to Chu Chen say so, Liu Lao understood his meaning immediately, said with a smile: "well, should do so! And it must be the best of our country! "

Speaking of this, Mr. Liu hesitated and said, "ah Chen, I want to discuss something with you."

"Master, just say it!"

"Well, the Palace Museum is going to hold a calligraphy and painting exhibition next month, but it lacks world-class oil paintings. Do you think you can lend this painting for exhibition?"

Chu Chen didn't intend to keep this work secret, otherwise how could there be foreigners who were the main culprits? Now we can increase the popularity of this work through the exhibition, which is exactly what he wants, so he agreed without hesitation.

This painting was not long after it was uncovered. Some places still need careful treatment and protection. In addition, it has to be lent out for exhibition, so it was left here first.

After appreciating the painting, the three returned to the living room. When Mr. Liu saw the two brocade boxes brought by Chu Chen, he asked curiously, "ah Chen, what are the contents in these two boxes?"

Chuchen said with a smile, "these two are also my achievements in England. You can open them up and have a look."

At that time, when Chu Chen asked for help to transport things back to China, the official kiln brush washing and self warming cup were still in the bank at Oxford, and the things were not big, so Chu Chen brought them back with him.

What Liu Laoxian opened was the box containing the brush wash. When he saw the brush wash quietly in the box, he was stunned. He couldn't believe his eyes. After half a sound, he raised his head and pointed to the brush wash with a look of surprise. "Ah Chen, this is..."

Chu Chen nodded and said, "yes, I'm sure this is the brush wash made in the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty."

Liu Qinshu thought that her father's behavior was a little strange, but when she heard what Chu Chen said, she was also dull.

The first reaction in her heart was that she didn't believe it. You know, it was the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty! Up to now, we haven't found a whole Northern Song Dynasty official kiln! How could this be so complete and new?

Getting Chu Chen's affirmative reply, Liu put down his excited mood, put on his gloves, carefully took the brush wash to his hand, took out the magnifying glass and carefully observed it.

"Good! What an official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty

After a long time, Liu laocai put the brush wash back to its original position. After a long sigh of relief, he immediately gave a big drink.

"Dad, is this really the official kiln of the Northern Song Dynasty?" Liu Qinshu still can't believe it.

"Can ah Chen and I cheat you?" Old Liu said with a smile.

Liu Qinshu waved his hand and said, "no, I just think it's unbelievable that such a complete and new official porcelain of the Northern Song Dynasty suddenly appeared."

"This brush wash is not complete." Liu said with a distressed face: "there is a big gap in its mouth, but just because of this gap, you can clearly see the tire quality inside, which further proves that it is indeed a brush wash of the Northern Song Dynasty official kiln!"

Liu Qinshu opened his mouth in surprise. After asking Chu Chen, he couldn't wait to observe.

"Come on, what's in it?" Liu turned his attention to another box.

Chuchen said with a smile: "what's inside is a self warming cup!"

"Self warming cup!"

When Liu Qinshu heard Chu Chen's answer, he almost failed to hold the brush wash in his hand. Liu was also shocked and didn't know what to say

…………

The next day, Chu Chen went around his shop, looked at the progress of the decoration, dealt with the financial affairs, and walked leisurely to the door of Yuebao Pavilion. However, he happened to meet Zhu Dafu, who was just about to go out.

After saying hello, Chu Chen asked with a smile, "Uncle Fu, where are you going?"

Zhu Dafu was very happy to see Chu Chen and said with a smile, "you're just in time. Today a new shop is opening. Let's join in the fun." Then he took the lead and walked to one side.Chu Chen asked strangely as he walked: "new shop? Where is it? Why didn't I hear about it? "

Zhu Dafu sighed and said, "ah, the shop of Niu Dabao used to be sold to others."

Niu Dabao and Chu Chen also know a thin little middle-aged man in his forties. He has been in the antique street for five or six years, and the business of the shop is very good.

Therefore, after hearing the speech, Chu Chen immediately asked in surprise: "ah! Why didn't Niu Dabao do it? Did he do well before I went abroad? Why did the shop change in half a month? "

Zhu Dafu shook his head and said: "it's not greed for money, plus the eye trick is not bright!"

It turns out that Niu Dabao had an eye shot some time ago and spent more than 200000 yuan to buy a highly imitated pastel vase from the reign of Emperor Qianlong. Although 200000 yuan was not too much for him to hurt his muscles and bones, it was painful for him to lose it.

On the day Chu Chen went abroad, a friend introduced a customer to Niu Dabao, who wanted to buy a decent vase.

When Niu Dabao heard from his friends that he was very rich, he fell in love with him. However, he was also an old man and did not directly recommend him. Instead, he put the fake in the middle of several vases, and the customer chose the fake as he wanted. Of course, among those vases, the only one that looks the best is the fake. It's strange that the person doesn't choose this one.

However, Niu Dabao didn't know that the man bought the vase for a gift, and it was for his official career. Although the imitation level of the vase was very high, the one who received the gift had some friendship with Guan Guokang. When Guan Guokang saw the vase, he put it on.

"That person brought a person to make trouble for a while, Niu Dabao had to transfer the shop in the end."

After listening to Zhu Dafu's explanation, Chu Chen asked with some doubts: "since the man bought antiques to give away, why didn't he bring a master with him?"

Zhu Dafu opened the stall and said, "although the man didn't bring the master, he didn't find Niu Dabao's friend before. Moreover, Niu Dabao's friend told Niu Dabao that he wanted to make a good one for him. Who knows Niu Dabao will be in a daze. Now his friend has a good dinner."

"But why didn't Niu Dabao's friends go together? If he were present, it would not be like this, would it

"Maybe Niu Dabao's life should be like this. His friend's child suddenly caught a cold and had a fever, so he had to go back first. Anyway, if it wasn't for Niu Dabao's own death, it wouldn't be the result now. "

When Chu Chen heard that this was the case, he couldn't help sighing that Niu Dabao had committed a crime of his own!

"Uncle Fu, who took over the shop now?"

Zhu Dafu replied: "it was an antique lover from Yan province. Now he has come to Beijing for development."

"Uncle Fu, you should know him?"

"I've been in touch for a while, but the relationship is OK..."

Two people come to the shop, chuchen see strange shop name, strange shop assistant and strange shop, in the heart is a burst of sigh.

"Oh, shopkeeper Zhu is here. The shop is really magnificent! come in , please! Come in, please The middle-aged man in the shop saw Zhu Dafu coming and walked out of the shop.

The store's name is Ning Shizhen. It's said that his parents want him to grow up to be a famous doctor like Li Shizhen. Of course, when parents name him, they always have such and such meanings, but few of them can really be like his name. Ning Shizhen also doesn't become a famous doctor like his parents think.

The two sides exchanged greetings. Zhu Dafu introduced Chu Chen and Ning Shizhen. When Ning Shizhen heard that Chu Chen was Liu's close disciple, she was surprised. Then she quickly took them to the reception room.

In the reception room, there were three people drinking tea and chatting, two of whom Chu Chen didn't know, and the other one was Wang Xiangong, an antique collector he had known before.

When Wang Xiangong saw Zhu Dafu and Chu Chen coming in, he was very happy and exchanged greetings again.

When the shop assistant made a cup of tea for them, Wang Xiangong said with a smile, "Xiao Chu, I heard that you got the painting of autumn evening in Chu mountain. Can I have a chance to see it?"

Zhu Dafu was very surprised and said: "I said Xiaochen, when did you get the picture of autumn in Chu mountain?"? Why haven't I heard of it? "

Chu Chen scratched his head and said, "it was last month."

"Well, you boy, it's not interesting that you didn't give me a chance to appreciate such a masterpiece?" Zhu Dafu said.

Chu Chen expression some embarrassed said: "this is not busy for a month, some day free, I'll take the painting to you, give you a good look, head office!"

"That's about it!" Zhu Dafu said with flying eyebrows.

"Lao Zhu, you can't eat alone. You must take me with you then." Wang Xiangong said anxiously.

Zhu Dafu shook his head with a smile and said, "it's not up to me. You have to ask Xiao Chen's permission first."
