Chapter 1092

After a while, the young man recovered from the astonishing news and asked, "how much is it worth?"

Chuchen knew that the result was cruel to them, but they had to face it sooner or later. He couldn't bear to say, "I estimate that the market value is about 50000."

"How much? Fifty thousand? " Mother and son were obviously frightened by the price.

"Yes, the price is really like what the curator of Chu said. This gang Mao can be worth 50000 yuan." Wei Shenghuan nodded solemnly.

After confirmation, the mother and the son were stunned. They didn't spend 50000 yuan on these jade. Now a piece of jade not only pays back, but also makes a lot of money. Originally this is a happy thing, but his husband (father), because of this, has such a serious illness, not a few days to live, no matter how much money can change people back!

The young man came back to his senses and said angrily, "he took the truth as a fake. What a punk expert that is!"

"Which expert were you looking for?" Wei Shenghuan asked.

When the young man said his name, he frowned and said, "how can you go to him? This guy is famous, but his level is not very good, and he can identify things very quickly. It's better to find him than me! "

"Ah! At the beginning, I also wanted him to go to you, but he did not agree with you. As a result, it turned out to be like this. What's the matter? " At the end, the woman gave a cry of sadness and rushed out of the door.

"Ma An expert like XX, I'll find him sooner or later! " With a roar, the young man quickly ran out.

"I'll go and have a look!" Worried about what happened to the mother and son, Wei Shenghuan and Chu Chen said hello and ran out in a hurry.

Seeing this, Chu Chen felt deeply that it was indeed a happy event for him to find the fourth Gang Mao, but with such a tragedy, he did not want to see it.

"Well, in the end, you should have self-knowledge, and the most important thing is to avoid corruption." Wu Ke sighed.

Chu Chen and Zuo Shan nodded yes, but let alone self-knowledge, many people can't just be greedy. Otherwise, many people would not have died because they bought fake antiques.

Because of this, the atmosphere in the room was a little depressed. At this time, Wu Ke suddenly thought of a question and said:

"ah Chen, do you think they will sell the box directly because they need money? It's a silver box and an antique. It's worth a lot of money, isn't it?"

Chu Chen was stunned when he heard that this possibility really existed. If it was, it would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, he frowned and looked around, and found that there was no trace of silver box in the room, so he could only wait for Wei Shenghuan and them to come back.

It took nearly 20 minutes for Wei Shenghuan to walk back with the young man.

Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly asked, "is aunt OK?"

The young man shook his head: "it's OK, but she's not feeling well now. Now she's resting in the room."

Chu Chen was relieved when he heard that he was ok, otherwise he would feel a little uncomfortable. He then said:

"brother Wei, if you ask something that may be out of order, I don't know if your family's silver box is still there?"

"Oh! I've just heard from my uncle about this. It's here. "

Then the young man raised the bag in his hand and said, "it's also a coincidence that you're here. I've spent almost all my savings. I'm going to sell this box for money. If you come a day or two later, the things will be in other people's hands."

Chuchen listened to this, also completely relieved, said with a smile: "then can I appreciate this thing?"

"Yes, yes..." The young man hesitated.

Chu Chen said, "brother Wei, if you have any questions, just say them."

"Then I'll be straight." The young man said, "I just read it. There are words in this box, and it's very clear. But I don't know what the words are, and I don't know if it's the formula you want."

At this time, Wei Shenghuan said: "I just read it. It should be the inscriptions on gold. I don't study the inscriptions on gold, and I can't understand what it means."

The young man nodded, and then said: "originally, I want to find out what it means by myself, but it takes too long for you to wait. So I want to make an appointment with you. "

Hearing this, Chu Chen understood what youth meant. He was afraid that he would write down the formula and not buy the box. Wouldn't that be a loss?

"I see what you mean. We can sign an agreement. If the words in it are exactly what I want, I'll buy it at the price we agreed, but I don't know how much you want?"

"Er..." The young man bowed his head and thought for a long time, but he didn't figure out how much it would cost. He looked at Wei Shenghuan with some entanglement, and then said to Chu Chen, "Chu librarian, please wait a moment, we'll discuss it.""No problem..."

Young man and Wei Shenghuan went out to discuss for a long time, and then came back. They were not confident enough and said:

"curator of Chu, we just discussed that if the formula of Luan glue is written in this box, we can take it back with this silver box for a total of one million dollars."

"A million?"

Chu Chen bowed his head and pondered. If that formula is really Luan Jiao's formula, one million is a small meaning for him. If Luan Jiao can be developed according to the formula, its value can't be measured by one million at all.

As for the possibility of really needing the legendary materials of Phoenix mouth and unicorn horn, we can't say no, but if Wei Shenghuan is telling the truth, it's very unlikely.

Anyway, for Chu Chen, it's a good deal to spend a million dollars on the recipe together with the silver box.

So he nodded and said, "we can sign an agreement."

The young man waved his hand with a smile: "no, I believe the Chu curator still has this reputation."

Then he handed the bag directly to Chu Chen.

After all, chuchen didn't care much about the fact that the young man was not a member of the industry. He took the bag and took out the contents.

This is a round box. It should be made of silver. As soon as things come into view, Chu Chen thinks there is a door, because if he is right, this is a silver box from the Tang Dynasty.

Box is one of the most common gold and silver utensils in Tang Dynasty. Its shape is divided into upper and lower parts, which can be opened and closed. The flat surface of the box cover has a round shape, petal shape, etc. the top of the box cover has a flat top, and the top of the box is raised. Some boxes also have ring feet. Most of them are round and petal shaped.

The box has a wide range of uses. Generally, the large box is used to hold all kinds of drugs, tea, spices and other valuables, while the small box is mainly used to hold cosmetics. In Sanqin Province, seven large silver boxes were unearthed from the gold and silver wares of the Tang Dynasty, which contained stalactite, cinnabar and other ancient medicines for strengthening the body and prolonging life, as well as raw materials for alchemy.

The silver box in front of us is a silver box with gold-plated divine beast pattern. It has harmonious proportion and elegant shape. It uses hammering, carving, welding, gilding, polishing and other techniques, which can be said to be quite exquisite. It is one of the representative works of gold and silver vessels in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The diameter of this round silver box is about 9 cm. The bottom of the box cover has a raised face and short ring feet. It can be opened and closed. It is used by women in Tang Dynasty to hold cosmetics. The whole decoration is divided into five sections, with the fish roe pattern as the ground. In the center circle of the cover, a powerful flying winged beast with auspicious clouds is carved. The inner and outer lines of the center circle are round bead patterns, the diamond geometric pattern is in the middle, and the second section pattern is composed of the continuous curved Baoxiang flowers outside the circle.

A small deformed lotus pattern is carved along the cover opening. The main body of the box is engraved with Tang grass. The bottom decoration is the same as the cover decoration, which is composed of continuous and precious flowers. The cover, the turning point of the body and the ring foot are all welded.

What's more, the gilding on the surface of this silver box has been preserved for so many years, and it looks almost new. In addition to the uniform distribution of the whole decoration, smooth lines, exquisite and elegant, it can be said that it is a very valuable tool.

After observing the appearance of the box, Chu Chen opened it. On the back of the lid, he saw that there were many characters, the size of which was like mung bean, and the characters were in gold.

After careful identification, chuchen's face began to smile. Although the combination of these words is more obscure and difficult to understand, and the words are more like ancient Danshu, many of which are metaphors, but they are quite smooth to read. In addition, judging from the engraving, they should have been carved not much different from the silver box.

Judging from these clues, it is highly possible that these words recorded the formula of Luan gum. The fly in the ointment is that the main ingredients of the formula are really Phoenix mouth and unicorn horn. Because there is no information, Chu Chen doesn't know whether they are real Phoenix mouth and unicorn horn or just a nickname, which makes him somewhat distressed.

Seeing Chu Chen's happy face, uncle Wei Sheng Huan was also relieved. The young man couldn't hide his happy face. However, his eyes darkened at the thought of his father, whose life was coming to an end.

Chu Chen closed the box and asked, "Wei Lao, I don't know if your father left any notes at the beginning?"

Wei Sheng Huan recalled for a moment, said: "yes, but it was left to my brother."

Seeing that everyone looked at himself, the young man said with some regret: "the things left by my grandfather should have been lost by my father when the new house was renovated."

Wei Shenghuan asked in surprise: "I remember my father left a lot of old books, all of them are lost?"

The young man said awkwardly, "not everything has been lost, but a few years ago, those books were accidentally flooded, leaving only a few ancient books, and the rest were lost by my father."

Hearing this sad result, Chu Chen was quite depressed, but he didn't give up and said, "brother Wei, can you show me those ancient books?"

"OK, just a moment..."After a while, the young man came back with some thread bound ancient books, handed them to Chu Chen and said, "just these."

Chu Chen looked through the books and found that they were all printed books in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, mainly about the knowledge of plants and minerals. In the blank space of the pages, the original owner also wrote some notes.

After a rough look, Chu Chen felt that although there were no notes about Phoenix mouth and unicorn horn, he might be able to find some clues. So he asked, "brother Wei, can you sell me these books?"

"Ah? Are these also valuable antiques? " The young man asked in surprise.

Chu Chen shook his head: "it's just that some printed books in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China are worth about 100 yuan. I want them mainly for reference. "

I heard that it was only worth a few dollars. The young man said with a smile, "since you think it's useful, I'll give it to you."

Anyway, it was only a hundred yuan. Chuchen accepted it with a smile: "brother Wei, I don't know whether you want a check or a bank transfer?"

The young man quickly said, "I haven't seen the check. I'd better go to the bank to transfer it."

"All right." Chu Chen nodded, and then said, "brother Wei, I don't know if that gangmao can be transferred to me just now?"

"I..."

The youth is slightly a Leng, just open mouth, Wei Sheng Huan interrupts his words in a hurry, nod a way: "can, can!"

When Chu Chen saw this, he didn't understand that Wei Shenghuan had already ordered the steel Mao, which made him more or less happy. Wei Shenghuan knew something about himself, otherwise he would have to waste some words.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen quickly expressed his thanks to them and said, "if the price is high, even if I said 50000 before."

"This What a shame

The young man scratched his head with embarrassment. Although he had never bought or sold antiques before, because of his father, he had heard something about it. He knew that, like clothes, the market price would always serve as a reference. If it was a precious antique, it might be a premium. If he sold a common thing like his family's gangmao, it would not be severely punished It's kind to keep down the price, but you don't even need to think about the premium.

Chuchen said with a smile, "it doesn't matter. It's hard to buy a thousand gold. I have a good heart."

The young man laughed and said nothing more, and the business was completed.

Next, everyone was ready to go to the bank to transfer money. Before leaving, Chu Chen told them that he knew a little bit about medicine and went to help Zhang Shengle make a diagnosis. However, the conclusion reached was similar to the previous doctor's diagnosis. No matter how good the treatment was, he was basically a vegetative person, and that was just suffering.

Hearing this result, Wei Shengle's wife and children are extremely sad. If Wei Shengle had not been greedy, if the expert's appraisal result had not been wrong, the present result would not have appeared. Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world

…………

During his trip to southern Yunnan, he not only got the formula of Luan Jiao, but also accidentally put the fourth Gang Mao in his bag. Chu Chen was very satisfied with his honeymoon trip. Of course, if there is no tracking, and the tragedy of Wei Shengle, then add. That would be more perfect.

It took him ten months to get out of the rush of tourists to the southern part of Yunnan Province, and the next ten months to get out of the rush.

Seeing Chu Chen enter the door, old five said with a smile: "Yo, boss, I thought you forgot here!"

"No matter what you say, I won't forget that this is my home."

Chu Chen said hello to everyone, because there are a lot of things in the museum, and he also has other career. Since he came back, he has not been here, including his trip to southern Yunnan, which has not been here for quite a long time.

After a few words without nutrition, Chu Chen asked, "where's my father?"

Zhou Wenping replied, "Uncle Wu and Lao Zhao went out together. They said that they were going to collect a good thing. I'll ask about anything."

Chu Chen nodded, thinking that Zhao Xueyi was too busy during this period of time and had forgotten all about Zhao Xueyi's affairs, he asked: "by the way, did Lin Laowu come to compensate uncle Zhao for his loss?"

The old five said: "why not? That guy is like a grandson. Don't mention how to relieve his anger."

"You can't live by your own sin!"

Chu Chen gave a sneer, and then he took Lao Wu and Zhou Wenping, Gu Qifei and Gu Jianming to his office to make an inventory of the antique shop during this period.

An hour later, Chu Chen said with a smile: "OK, it's been a hard time for you. I'm also tacky. Your bonus in these two months has doubled."

Although money is vulgar, few people don't love it, so everyone happily expressed their thanks to Chu Chen.

Just at this time, a shop assistant knocked on the door and came in, saying that there was a man named Du Zhonglin coming to find Chu Chen.

In other words, because of the fear of scaring the snake, the last time I got the clue from Du Zhonglin, Mr. Liu didn't act immediately. Fortunately, the man was so cunning that even the investigators were very careful, he almost found him. And since then, he has been suspicious, in addition to direct arrest, it is difficult to get the news of CAI Jianxuan from him.Because there are few criminal facts found from him, direct arrest is the next choice. So, someone gave an idea, let Du Zhonglin contact with him, maybe you can find some clues. But whether Du Zhonglin can hold back his hatred is a question. What's more, how can Du Zhonglin achieve this goal without training?

However, to everyone's surprise, Du Zhonglin had studied Peking Opera and had a high talent for acting. In addition, Du Zhonglin was eager to bring the "strange man" to justice. Without even thinking about it, he agreed. And after testing, it should be able to complete the task. As a result, a temporary "spy" took office.

Think of Du Zhonglin to find their own estimate is found what clues, chuchen quickly let the clerk to Du Zhonglin to his office.

Chuchen said hello to Du Zhonglin with a smile, and then invited him to a seat.

After a few greetings, chuchen asked with a smile, "Mr. Du, did you bring any good news today?"

Du Zhonglin replied, "I don't know if it's good news. He asked me to bring you a message. He said it's a friend's home. There are some good things. Let me ask if you are interested."

"What's the matter?" Chu Chen asked

"It's like this..."

It turned out that after Du Zhonglin took office, as usual, he went to the "strange man"'s house in three or five days. Because of his ordinary performance, the other party didn't see Du Zhonglin's flaws. However, Du Zhonglin almost made a case because the other party always sold things to him from time to time. Fortunately, this did not happen.

Last Thursday, Du Zhonglin went to his house again. During that time, when he was talking about Chu Chen's Museum, Du Zhonglin happily told "strange man" that he knew Chu Chen and had a good relationship with him.

"Strange man" was very surprised at this and asked Du Zhonglin what was the matter. So Du Zhonglin told "strange man" the story he had prepared. Because the story was completed by brainstorming, he would not find any flaws unless he had doubts.

After listening to Du Zhonglin's story, "strange man" just envied Du Zhonglin's ability to become friends with Chu Chen. There was no strange behavior. Until Du Zhonglin went to his place yesterday and was ready to leave, he suddenly answered the phone.

"At the beginning, he asked me if I was interested. It's a joke. There are millions of things in total. Even if I am interested, I can't help it! Don't he know? "

Du Zhonglin sneered and then said, "later I said I couldn't afford it, so he asked me to ask you if you are interested."

Chuchen said with a smile: "as long as it's a good thing, I'm interested in it, but he has to tell me what it is, right? It's not a friend. I can't run to him when someone says he has something good. If that's the case, I'll be dead tired! "

"He's ready for this. Here's the photo he asked me to take at his house in the morning. It's a coincidence that you're here, which saves me a few steps. "

Du Zhonglin put an envelope in front of Chu Chen with a smile: "everything looks good in the photos. They are all genuine products that have been opened to the public. I don't know whether they are real or not."

There are five items in the photo, including a lotus shaped vase from Ding kiln, a plum vase with sauce glaze from Yaozhou Kiln, a spring vase with jade pot from Longquan kiln, a bronze ware and a carriage with blue jade.

Among them, the most precious and rare should be the blue jade carriage.

The blue and white carriage in the picture has seven horses, divided into two rows, three in the front row and four in the back row. The front and rear rows are connected by jade chains. The four horses in the back row drive the shaft at the same time. The driver is tall and strong. His hands are in the shape of pulling the reins. The driver in the car is big and fat. He has a very high position and is crowned as a king.

In addition, the size of the carriage is also marked on the back of the photo. The length of the carriage alone is nearly 70 cm. Not to mention anything else, how much jade material does it take? In addition, judging from the details of the photos, the carriage should be in the style of the early Western Han Dynasty. If it was genuine, it would be worth millions.

Having seen the photos, Chu Chen said with a smile, "I can't tell the truth from the photos, but he told you that these things only need a few million?"
