Chapter 627

Chu Chen felt a little strange about what Uncle Wu said and asked, "Dad, why should I sit in the seat?"

"Because today is guining, of course, my son-in-law has to sit in the seat." Uncle Wu replied with a smile.

Guining has a daughter who does not forget the gift of parental rearing, and a son-in-law thanks his parents-in-law and newlyweds for their love and beauty. In general, the daughter-in-law's family will hold a banquet, and the new son-in-law will be present at the table, accompanied by her elders. Newlyweds may return on the same day or stay for several days. If they stay, they will stay in a different room.

Chuchen thought for a moment, then understood why, and said with a smile: "Dad, today is the day of returning to Nanjing in a broad sense, but I haven't married coco. Let's forget today! Besides, there is no need for us as a family and no other relatives and friends to be present! "

Granny Wu also said with a smile: "that is, guining is the last ceremony of marriage. It's not even today."

Uncle Wu thought about it and thought it was the reason, so he laughed and stopped talking about it.

"Grandma, Dad, mom, in this new year, I wish you happiness and longevity..."

When he poured drinks and drinks for everyone, Chu Chen held up his glass and offered a toast.

"Good, good!" See this, three people all smile not close mouth, one after another took out lucky money to Chu Chen.

Today, in order to entertain Chu Chen, the dishes on the table are colorful. However, Chu Chen's first goal is the sweet and sour ribs made by Aunt Wu. While eating, she is full of praise.

"Mom, the sweet and sour spareribs you make are better than those made by a chef. If you open a restaurant and specialize in this dish, customers can squeeze the restaurant out of the water."

"Forget it then!"

Aunt Wu waved her hand and said with a smile, "if that's true, I'll be tired on my first day, and you won't be able to eat it then!"

"It's the same here!" Chu Chen scratched his head and said with a smile, "for my sake, let's forget about it..."

…………

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, the lights are scattered along the stars.

In the twinkling of an eye, it's the eighth day of the first month, the eighth day of the first month, the valley and the Shunxing Festival. It is said that this day is the day of the lower boundary of the stars. The stars in the sky are the most complete. It is the time for the elders to recognize the stars for their children and grandchildren.

It is said that the eighth day of the Lunar New Year is Millet's birthday. If the weather is fine, the rice harvest will be good. If the weather is overcast, the year will be short.

In the morning, when Chu Chen got up early and took exercise, he found that today's sunny day is a rare good weather. If we take the custom of Valley day as an example, this year is undoubtedly a good harvest year, which makes Chu Chen feel good.

Today is the opening day of the antique shop. After breakfast, Chu Chen takes Chu Yulan, who feels bored, to his shop.

After parking the car, the brother and sister, together with Uncle Wu, went to the door of the shop and found that other people had cleaned the shop and set off the firecrackers, waiting for them to come.

After a few warm greetings, Chu Chen personally lit the firecrackers.

Looking at the bustling scene in front of him, Chu Chen wished that he would go to a higher level this year.

Today is the first day to go to work. As a boss who wants to have a clear reward and punishment, Chu Chen still has to give new year's red envelopes. After setting off firecrackers, he handed out the red envelopes that he had prepared to everyone's water.

Although the red envelope is not very thick, we all feel that it is a very lucky thing to meet such a kind boss in recent years. We are working hard.

In the new year, Chu Chen's fortune is booming, and his business on the first day of business is surprisingly good. In the morning, he sold several hundred thousand things on the antique side, and the turnover on the jade side is as high as nearly seven million. Although a pair of bracelets contributed nearly five million, we still feel very happy.

When it was about noon, Zhou Wenping went out to order fast food for everyone, and asked the restaurant to cook some good dishes, ready to reward everyone. However, as soon as he got to the door of the restaurant, an old man came in with some boxes.

Seeing the old man's appearance, Zhou Wenping was a little stunned, because this man was the old man who sold porcelain pillows on New Year's Eve.

Zhou Wenping asked the assistant to help him order lunch. He went to the old man and said with a smile, "good new year, uncle!"

"Happy New Year!" The old man nodded and then said, "do you have antiques in your shop today?"

Zhou Wenping said with a smile: "of course, as long as it's a good thing, our store will open for one day, but you won't ask for cash this time, will you?"

"Why not cash?" Asked the old man.

Zhou Wenping said: "it's very simple. If the things you bring this time are as good as last time, or better, our store can't afford so much cash at the moment."

"Well, if my things are as good as the previous porcelain pillow, I don't have to worry about it."

The old man said with a gloomy look, and then said: "I don't know how much the things I brought this time are worth. You can give them as long as the price is not too unreasonable."Zhou Wenping quickly said: "uncle, please rest assured that although we are sure that we want to make more money, we will not make a price without conscience."

"You..." As soon as the old man said two words, he swallowed the rest and sighed, "ah! Forget it, that's it! "

Zhou Wenping also understood the old man's thoughts, but no matter how well he said it, it was better to do it persuasively. In the end, the old man would understand. So he politely invited the old man to the reception room.

When Chu Chen and Uncle Wu saw the old man, they were also slightly stunned. They quickly stood up and asked him to take a seat and made a cup of tea for him.

After a brief chat, Chu Chen asked, "uncle, is there any difficulty at home?"

"Ah! It's hard to say... " At this point, the old man swallowed his words again and said, "forget it, don't say it. Look at my things. I have only one request. I hope you'll have a higher price later. My family is waiting for the money to save their lives! "

Looking at the pleading color in the old man's eyes, Chu Chen felt soft and solemnly said: "uncle, we will give you what price we are sure to pay. You can rest assured!"

Chu Chen has not been in business for one or two years, so he can see that the old man didn't mean to win his sympathy and wanted more money. What's more, he doesn't understand the situation of the elderly after all, and he will certainly not do business at a loss. Even if the elderly do it intentionally, he will not have any loss.

Chu Chen first picked up the top small box, while others picked up other boxes. Everyone opened the box and took out the contents to appreciate.

What's the same thing in chuchen's box? In a nutshell, it's the finger. It's a tool used by shooters to hold the bowstring and shoot their prey.

Nowadays, there are so many palace dramas in the Qing Dynasty that many people think that it is only in the Qing Dynasty. In fact, it is not. As early as the Shang Dynasty, Pei appeared, and it was very popular in the spring and Autumn period and the Warring States period.

They are mostly made of leather or animal bones, and can also be carved with jade. In the spring and Autumn period, Yu Pei could still be used to hook strings, but from the late Warring States period to the Han Dynasty, it developed into a flat and impractical ornament, which was called Pei shaped Pei.

For thousands of years, there have been many types of finger shapes. The most important ones are the slope shaped fingers, that is to say, the pin shaped fingers and the barrel shaped fingers. The slope finger appeared earlier, and the chord groove existed at first, and then it was cancelled. In China, the slope shaped finger was used until Ming Dynasty. In foreign countries, it is still used in several countries.

In Meng, Gu and Qing Dynasties, barrel shaped fingers were mainly used, which were often seen in TV dramas.

Chu Chen's Pei is made of high-quality Hetian seed jade. The jade is white and delicate. It still retains the shape of early practical Pei with perforation. There are three groups of Taotie patterns on the inside and outside. The engravers use the raised lines as the dividing line. The left and right Taotie patterns are symmetrical and finely carved.

From the perspective of patterns and sculptors, Chu Chen thinks that this jade should have been made in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. In addition, like the old man's pillow, this jade pillow is handed down from generation to generation.

The identification of ancient jade handed down from generation to generation is a relatively complicated knowledge. In addition to knife work, shape and material, the most important two points are "Baojiang" and "Niumao pattern".

For quite a long time, jade ware has been "protected" by nitrogen, oxygen and carbon dioxide in the air, and it has been eroded by inorganic compounds such as sodium chloride, Trace Urea and carbonic acid in human sweat in people's rubbing all the year round. Its appearance has produced a waxy oxide film year by year, which is called coating.

The luster is soft and natural, warm and bright. At the same time, some ancient jade due to storage and other reasons, although did not produce wax like slurry, but warm and moist content, seems to have a layer of skin cover, this layer of material can also be said to be slurry.

For example, the jade in front of us is soft and natural in color, but it seems to be covered with a layer of skin. This is because the jade was often played with before, but it has been shelved for more than ten or several decades.

Such features are undoubtedly the most difficult to copy, and can generally be regarded as real tools.

In addition to the slurry, the cattle hair pattern is also an important basis for identifying the authenticity of jade.

Generally speaking, the ox hair pattern on jade objects refers to the etched patterns on the surface of unearthed ancient jade which are sunken one by one in one direction. This kind of cattle hair pattern is mostly yellow, but also black and red. It is considered to be an erosion mark along the fibrous grain interface and cleavage pattern. It is a reflection of long-term underground erosion and is considered to be one of the strong evidences that nephrite ancient jade is rare.

However, the jade in Chu Chen's hand had never been in the soil, but even if it had not been in the soil, the surface of the jade would also form cattle hair patterns, which were caused by people's long-term wearing of plate mill or natural weathering.

The cow hair pattern on the surface of the jade was obviously caused by wearing a plate mill for a long time, and the characteristics were very obvious. Chu Chen could see the authenticity of the cow hair pattern with a magnifying glass.

No matter it's Coated pulp or cattle hair pattern, it can prove that this is really a genuine product.

This kind of jade, which has never been put into the earth, is excellent in quality, and has first-class color. It can be said that it is very rare. Unfortunately, it looks smaller. In addition, there is some wear and tear in the string pulling position. But even so, the market value of this jade should be about 100000.
