Chapter 544

The matter of Yu's family is settled, and to Chu Chen's delight, the gang of counterfeiters also fell into the net. To Chu Chen's surprise, Yu Guangjie is not only associated with the gang, but also acts as an umbrella.

It is because of the protection of Yu Guangjie that the counterfeiting gang can escape every time before.

With the arrest of the counterfeiting Gang, the inside story has come to light. In fact, there are only three core members of the gang. The most skilled one is the boss Jiang Zhi.

Jiang Zhi is also a poor man. Chong Xiao grew up in an orphanage. When he grew up, he learned the art of porcelain making in the capital of porcelain, because he was diligent and eager to learn, and his salary was good. Later, he talked about a beautiful girlfriend. Later, the dog blood plot happened, and his girlfriend found another rich second generation to be a junior, which deeply stimulated Jiang Zhi.

During that time, Jiang Zhi quit his job and used wine to relieve his worries every day, which made his mind change.

Maybe it's predestined. A few days later, by coincidence, Jiang Zhiji unexpectedly got Zhang huoni's experience of recording, so he resolutely stepped into this business. The reason for this decision is also very simple. In addition to making more money, he also wants to revenge those rich people.

Jiang Zhi's talent is very good. With Zhang huoni's experience, he became famous in this field in a few years. However, this is a crime after all, so he is usually very cautious. He basically changes his place every other time. Therefore, he has been safe in recent years.

Later, Yu Guangjie established a relationship with Jiang Zhi through Qian Changxing, who was still in the south at that time. Jiang Zhi's courage also increased a lot. Later, because of his technological breakthrough, Da Fangfang became known as Zhang huoni.

The reason why Jiang Zhi uses this name is that he wants to be famous, but the most important thing is that with Yu Guangjie's protection, there will be no worries about his safety in the future. However, he did not expect that he would eventually be in prison.

Although the arrest of Yu Guangjie and the counterfeiting Gang made chuchen feel a little happy, because his sister suffered a disaster, it still made him unhappy.

And because of this kind of thing, the engagement on Sunday, more or less some influence, if not for the relatives and friends have been invited, Chu Chen plans to postpone the engagement banquet.

Of course, although Chu Chen thought so in his heart, he didn't say this idea in front of his parents, let alone in front of Wu Ke. He didn't want Wu Ke to figure it out. Because of this idea, Wu Ke's relationship with his sister became stiff.

In fact, Chu Chen was worried too much. If it was before, Wu Ke would have figured it out, but she still had a little knot in her heart. But because of this incident, the only knot in her heart disappeared.

On the one hand, it is because Chu Yulan saved Chu Chen's life. On the other hand, she also understands that if she is still jealous of Chu Yulan in the future, it will only make Chu Chen dissatisfied with her. In this case, she simply abandons the knot in her heart and really accepts Chu Yulan.

Of course, the reason why Wu Ke wanted to open up was mainly due to his trust in Chu Chen.

…………

On Sunday, today is the engagement day of chuchen and Wu Ke. Because the guests are all relatives and friends, plus the three old men, it's not convenient to go to the hotel for wine, so they are arranged to hold it in chuchen's villa. Fortunately, the living room of the villa is big enough to accommodate several tables of people.

Early in the morning, the makeup artist invited from Liu Ruida began to make up Chu Chen and Wu Ke. Wu can be very well, but Chu Chen never wore make-up from small to large. Such an experience is really hard for him, and he also needs to paint foundation on his face. It really makes him cry loudly.

In addition, Liu Sizhe and his friends were always talking and laughing, and sometimes they frowned and winked, which made chuchen really want to beat them up, but because of the makeup, they couldn't put it into practice, which made them even more elated.

Chuchen said with a sneer: "after today, I'll settle with you!"

"Brother Chen, don't be so serious. You see, we've already prepared our gifts!"

With a smile, Liu Sizhe opened a box they had brought and took out a double ring earcap bottle carved with white jade.

At the same time, Chu Chen and Wu Ke's make-up is almost finished. They are both wearing more festive Tang costumes today. In Zhao Yunlin's words, they are very happy.

Chu Chen took the bottle to his hand and observed it carefully.

This bottle is carved from haohetian white jade. It has a round neck, a round abdomen, a round foot, a pair of symmetrical Ganoderma lucidum shaped ears on the shoulder, a ring inside each, and a step-by-step button on the top.

There are carvers on both sides of the bottle's belly. One of them is relief and Yin line carving of plum, bamboo, chrysanthemum, Ganoderma lucidum and double magpie, which form the magpie climbing plum, implying auspiciousness. In the picture, the branches stretch out, full of blooming flowers and buds to be put, fully expressing the shape of plum blossom, such as bending, leaning, side, lying, leaning and looking forward, and the posture of standing, bending and skewing. No wonder the ancients thought that "plum blossom takes the situation as the first".In the picture, a magpie is carved on an independent branch, looking forward to it, while another magpie is carved on a shady line and dancing in the air. Plum blossom is in full bloom, bamboo stands upright, Daisy blooms, Ganoderma lucidum accompanies, elegant scenery leaps in the eye. Plum blossoms bloom at the intersection of winter and spring, and magpies stand on the branches of plum blossoms, which means that winter is coming and spring is coming. It also means "happy to be on the top of plum (lintel)", which means that a happy event is coming.

On the other side of the bottle's belly, a poem "chanting Hetian jade and Han animal ring square pot" made by Emperor Qianlong is engraved on the Yin line. It has not only a section, but also a square seal. The poem expresses the Qing emperor's love for Hetian jade.

This vase is huge (nearly 25 cm high) and is a typical craft of the imperial office in the reign of Emperor Qianlong. It is exquisitely carved and has strong artistic appeal, which shows the exquisite carving skills of jade craftsmen in the heyday of Emperor Qianlong.

This bottle is of superior material, even color, warm and white, elegant and graceful shape, smooth curve, rigorous structure, elegant shape and auspicious meaning. It is a rare masterpiece of Qianlong jade. It should be worth at least 4.3 million now.

"Brother Chen, is this jade vase good?" Liu Sizhe said with a smile that although they paid for the bottle together, he bought it only after looking for a relationship. He always had to ask for help.

"Not bad, not bad! Thank you for your gifts Chuchen nodded with a smile. Such a bottle is rare.

"Brother, why don't you go out to welcome the guests?" At this time, Chu Yulan came down from upstairs.

Originally, Chu Yulan suffered a gunshot wound the day before yesterday. Fortunately, she didn't get inflamed, and because she didn't hurt her bone, she could theoretically be discharged on the same day, but Chu Chen and his family certainly wouldn't let her leave the hospital so soon.

But Chu Yulan must come to the engagement ceremony. At last, everyone couldn't resist her. After consulting the doctor, everyone reluctantly agreed.

Seeing this, Chu Chen and Wu Ke hurried to her eyes and said, "Xiao Lan, why did you come down? Hurry up and have a rest!"

"Brother, my wound is not a key position. It's OK!" Chu Yulan raised her injured arm.

"Xiaolan, you'd better go up and have a rest, otherwise it's not good, but it will leave a big scar!" Wu Ke said seriously.

"Really?" Everyone has a love for beauty. Besides, Chu Yulan is a beautiful woman. When she hears that she will leave a big scar, her face will be moved.

"How could I lie to you? Do not believe you can go to ask the doctor, is not hyperactive, will affect the healing of the wound Wu credible oath Dan said.

"Yes Chuchen advised while the iron was hot: "you'd better go upstairs and have a rest. When people come, I'll let sister Ji call you."

Liu Sizhe and they also advised a few words.

Chu Yulan muttered: "it's boring to always lie in bed!"

Having said that, she went back to her room. After all, she didn't want to leave a big scar.

At this time, Chu Yongning and Uncle Wu discussed the matter and came out of the inner room. Zhao Yunlin asked strangely, "why did you hear Xiao Lan's voice just now? Did she get up?"

"Well, we've just been advised to go back!" Chu Chen nodded.

Zhao Yunlin some distressed said: "this girl, do not know to pay attention to their own body! I'll have to talk about her later! By the way, what time is it? Why don't you go out to meet the guests

"Right away, right away!..."

Chuchen laughs, then takes Wu Ke's hand and takes others to the door of the villa. Standing side by side, he is ready to welcome the guests. The photographer I asked before also stood aside and began to work.

Today, it's sunny and windy, and the sun is warm on the body, but even so, the capital in January is the coldest season of the year. Chu Chen shook Wu Ke's slightly cool hand and asked softly:

"cocoa, is it cold?"

"Good! I'm still wearing thermal underwear inside! And you? " Wu Ke shook his head and asked.

Chuchen said with a smile: "you don't know my boxing level. I'm going to be cold and hot now!"

"Ah! There are also such advantages! " Wu Ke said in surprise.

"Yes, I told you to learn, but you were too lazy to learn!" Chuchen shook his head and said with a smile.

Wu Ke spat out his tongue and said, "I can't get up in the morning, or I'll be more diligent in the future!"

"A guest is coming!" At this time, Dong pangzi, standing outside the door, suddenly yelled at the top of his voice. Chu Chen and Wu Ke stretched their heads out to see that it was Liu's family who lived not far away.

As soon as they got there, Chu Chen and Wu Ke said hello to them, and then introduced Wu Ke and Liu Haoran to each other.

"Master, go inside and have a cup of hot tea first..."

After all, it was winter. After a few words from both sides, Chu Chen quickly let them in for tea.

Old Liu waved his hand with a smile: "don't worry! We have gifts for you! Come and see if you are satisfied with it"Master, we are all a family. What gift should we bring?" Chu Chen said that he was sincere. He was a teacher one day and a father all his life. In his heart, Liu's family is just like his family.

"What do you say? After all, it's engagement. It's only once in a row. There's no reason not to give gifts!"

Liu said with a smile, and then Liu Qinshu quickly said: "Dad, I'd better look at my brother's things first. If I look at yours first, our gifts will be a bit Petty!"

Chu Chen quickly said: "there is no distinction between high and low gifts. Besides, I'm already very happy that you're here."

With the help of Liu Sizhe, Liu opened the picture scroll.

"Ah Chen, look, this is a picture of five sons of a cock by Xu Beihong, which I collected in my early years."

Xu Beihong, formerly known as Xu Shoukang, plays an important role in the history of Chinese painting. He is known as the founder of modern art education in China. Basically, the collection circle knows him well, and chuchen is no exception.

In his early years, Xu Beihong studied western painting in France. After returning to China, he has been engaged in art education for a long time and has been teaching in many art colleges.

His works cover a wide range of subjects, including landscapes, flowers and birds, animals, characters, history and mythology. Together with Zhang Shuqi and Liu Zigu, they are known as the "three heroes of Jinling". His traditional Chinese painting is well-known for its color and ink, especially for its galloping horse.

Xu Xihong advocated the integration of light and structure of traditional Chinese painting, and emphasized the reform of the structure of traditional Chinese painting. In 1920, he put forward the theory of the improvement of Chinese painting in the context of the decadence of modern Chinese painting, which had a great influence on the Chinese painting world at that time.

In front of us is a picture of five sons of a rooster. The composition of the picture is simple. A rooster stands on a rock and looks down with bright eyes. Another five chickens stand on the ground and look up as if they are listening to the instruction.

The color of the whole picture is appropriate and rich. The shape of the rooster is very realistic, especially the depiction of the crowns and claws. The strokes are fine and rigorous. The tail is swept out in thick ink. The crowns are as red as fire, and the tails are as black as lacquer. There is a kind of harmony in the contrast between thick and thin, red and black.

The chicks are very vivid. They are dyed with ink and yellow. Three of them are written in thick ink. Two of them are goose yellow. Their hairy appearance is very popular.

The most outstanding artistic characteristics of Xu Beihong's animal paintings are accurate modeling and vivid expression, and this work is no exception. This kind of accuracy is not the "description" of everything, but accurate and concise, vivid and real.

Xu Beihong's accurate modeling ability stems from his solid sketch skills, but to transform the sketch with the relationship between light and shade into the relationship between pen and ink, we need to be familiar with Chinese freehand brushwork and pen and ink.

The picture layout is rigorous, the pen is vigorous and vivid. "Chicken" has the same sound as "Ji", so it can be called "Da Ji Tu". There are also five chickens, which have the meaning of five children's enrollment or teaching, and have rich spiritual sustenance. It can be said that once this work appears in the market, it will definitely become the focus of competition.

As soon as Chu Chen and Wu Ke saw this painting, they liked it very much, and it was also a work of Xu Beihong, which is very rare.

Then Chu Chen said with a bitter smile, "sister Shu, you are too proud of me. This painting is not good enough. What kind of gift can I get?"

Liu Qinshu said with a smile: "it's good that you two like it. With this painting, I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years and have a noble son early."

Chu Chen and Wu Ke quickly expressed their thanks.

Next, Liu Haoran and his wife also took out the gift, which was a pair of carved quail lid boxes during the reign of Emperor Qianlong.

This pair of quail cover box is made of Hetian white jade. The jade is lustrous and moist, and the slurry is warm, simple and steady.

Quail is lying, short neck, round body, round eyes, sharp peck, body with different length of feathers, body dug into the empty chamber, divided into upper and lower layers, wing under a week of mother type box mouth, can be opened. Quail is a common pattern and utensil in court, which means peace and happiness. A pair of quails symbolizes Shuangan.

Chu Chen and Wu Ke also accepted the gift and expressed their gratitude to Liu Haoran and his wife.

"Now it's my turn!"

With the help of Liu Qinshu, Liu took out the contents of a box and said, "come on, you can see if you are satisfied with the enamel duomu teapot man..."

"Domu pot?" In addition to Chu Chen and Liu Sizhe, the others were all at a loss. They didn't know what the domu pot was.

Therefore, Liu Sizhe explained: "duomu originally means the barrel of butter, and it is called Dongmo or duomu in Tibetan. A monk hat shaped edge is added along the mouth, and a handle and mouth are added to form a duomu pot. "

"This duomu pot is a vessel for Tibetan people to mix and hold butter tea. The butter tea is called chasusuma in Tibetan. It is made by pouring a small amount of butter and salt into the strong tea made of tea brick, and some of them also add some seasonings such as monosodium glutamate and milk, and stirring until water and butter blend. It is a necessary product for Tibetan people's life. Therefore, this duomu pot is also an indispensable daily necessities for Tibetans. "In front of the eyes of this pair of duomu pots, the size is huge, 36 cm high, the neck has a dragon head fishtail handle and dragon head flow. Cover bowl shaped cover, red coral pearl button. The neck, abdomen and cover are decorated with sky blue enamel, and decorated with silk and lotus pattern.

The copper gilded bamboo like ring on the mouth and abdomen of the pot is carved with rolled grass pattern, inlaid with red coral, turquoise and Lapis Lazuli beads. The liner is made of silver. The outer wall of the hoop foot is carved with the pattern of tangled branches and lotus, and the rectangular frame opposite to the pot flow is engraved with the regular script of "Qianlong year system of the Qing Dynasty".

This pair of duomu teapots has a strong nomadic style, pure copper, fine glaze, gilt brilliant, is the Qing Dynasty Qianlong period Yangxin palace office custom-made Royal supplies for the palace, very rare and rare.

Chu Chen was surprised when he saw the duo Mu teapots. Then he waved his hand and said, "master, it's impossible. It's very important for you. I can't accept it!"

You know, old Liu risked his life when he was young. At that time, he was shot by a bandit for the duo Mu pots. What's more, it's worth thousands or even tens of millions to duomu pot. How can chuchen accept it with ease.

Hearing this, Mr. Liu glared at him and said, "you're so pretentious. I'm so old. What's the point of it. Unless you don't recognize me as a master, you'll take down this pair of pots! "

"This..." Chu Chen still feels embarrassed to accept.

"Why, don't you listen to me!" Liu old blow beard to stare of say.

"Ah Chen, take it. After all, it's my father's intention." Liu Qinshu also advised.

Chu Chen see Liu really angry, also can only signal Wu can, two people together to take things down. However, when Chu Chen took over the pot, he had made up his mind to make it up for his master's birthday.

"Thank you, master!"

"Well, that's what it's like!"

Seeing that Chu Chen and Wu Ke accepted their gifts, Liu Lao's face also burst into a smile.

"Master, I'll take you in!"

"No, we are not unfamiliar with you. You'd better stand here with Xiao Ke to welcome the guests."

Although old Liu said so, after all, the other party was not only the elder, but also his own master. Chu Chen helped old Liu and welcomed them into the house. In addition, Liu Sizhe helped to carry the duo Mu teapots into the room.

…………

"Ah Chen, what's the matter with the pots? Is it particularly valuable? "

When Chu Chen comes out of the room, Wu Ke can't wait to ask. During this period of time, Wu Ke also knows that Chu Chen and Liu have a very good relationship. They are really like family members. If they are not particularly valuable or meaningful things, Chu Chen will not react like he did just now.

"It's not only valuable, but also the duo Mu teapots were bought by the master with his life..."

With that, Chu Chen told Wu Ke the story of duomu pot. Even if it was simple, Wu Ke was very nervous about the danger.

Wu Ke sighed: "I didn't expect that it was such a thing! In the future, we'll have to find a chance to return the gift. "

Chu Chen nodded: "well, I want to give master a surprise on his next birthday!"

"What a surprise!" As soon as the voice fell, Liu Sizhe came up and asked.

"Since it's a surprise, do you think I'll tell you?"

Chuchen smiles and pushes Liu Sizhe to the side, saying: "you stand up for me, and there will be guests soon!"

"You ke Dao..."

Chuchen did not expect to really say it to himself. As soon as his voice fell, a large family of chuchen arrived.

Next, Chu Chen introduced all the relatives of his family to Wu Ke. Then they exchanged greetings and worked hard for a long time. Chu Chen and Wu Ke just led them into the room.

"Ah Chen, there are so many relatives in our family!"

When Chu Chen went back to the door, Wu Ke sighed. Because Uncle Wu is the only child, and aunt Wu's hometown is out of town, aunt Wu usually doesn't go back unless relatives are born, old and dead. Therefore, seeing that Chu Chen's family had so many relatives, Wu Ke felt a little worried. What should we do when we visit relatives on New Year's day!

"Don't forget, there's my grandfather's family!" Chuchen said with a smile.
