Chapter 1096

Put away the mobile phone, chuchen in the heart some make a murmur, these two guys in the end is how to return a responsibility, is not to say today can't punctual appointment? How come we are back in Baozhou now? Is it a good arrangement or something happened? It seems that I have to be more careful.

But now that the enemy is in the dark and the enemy is in the light, it's useless to think too much, so Chu Chen is ready to go to the hotel Chen Yingping said on the phone with Hu Yong.

At this time, Wen Haoyang asked, "excuse me, are you the Chu curator of the Zenghua museum?"

See Chu Chen nodded to confirm, his face flashed annoyed, unbelievable, extremely regret look, see Chu Chen how much some in the heart can't bear.

Of course, Chu Chen didn't have the idea of giving things back to Wen Haoyang. Apart from other things, he also came here like this. When he didn't have any powers before, there were many treasures he lost his eyes. He pitied Wen Haoyang. Who would have pitied himself at the beginning? Besides, Wen Haoyang is so young that he can't live any longer.

After a long time, Wen Haoyang came back to himself. He sighed and said, "ah! I thought Lao Gong had "chosen" it for me, and there would be no treasure. I didn't expect that I'd go astray. However, Mr. Chu, please tell me what's unique about this ancient lock, or I won't be able to sleep at night. "

Chu Chen looked at the time and found that it was still early. In addition, the hotel Chen Yingping said was only five minutes' walk away, so he took out the ancient lock from his plastic pocket.

"Mr. Wen, do you know hirosuo?"

"What is hirosuo?" Wen Haoyang embarrassed asked.

Chuchen replied with a smile: "guangsuo is this kind of horizontal lock, which is called" horizontal lock "," pillow lock "and so on. Since the Tang Dynasty, wide locks have been widely used in doors, boxes, kitchens, cabinets, etc. there are more than 100 kinds of them. Most of the ancient locks we see now are wide locks... "

When it comes to ancient locks, we are not unfamiliar with them. They used to be indispensable daily necessities for almost every family.

China has a long history of locks. Wooden locks were found at the Yangshao cultural site in the Neolithic age. Bronze locks appeared in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Metal locks were invented in the Eastern Han Dynasty, with dragon, leopard, unicorn, turtle, butterfly and other animal and insect patterns. Gold, silver, copper, iron and other materials were widely used in the Tang Dynasty.

The Ming and Qing Dynasties were the heyday of ancient locks. All kinds of locks were developed simultaneously. Most of them were copper locks and iron locks. The technology was more exquisite, and there were great innovations in the difficulty of unlocking and the shape manufacturing.

For example, three color copper locks in Ming Dynasty, white crane locks in Qing Dynasty, code locks, secret door locks, four lock locks, reverse pull locks and locks of various characters, animals and characters are beautiful. In ancient times, we are skillful, simple and beautiful, full of symbolic workmanship, witty inner artistic conception and bizarre conception, which lead us to a mysterious and colorful artistic realm, so as to obtain a higher level of aesthetic enjoyment.

Because of this, although now with the development of science and technology and the improvement of living standards, ancient locks have long been out of the historical stage, but their collection value is gradually recognized by the market, more and more highlights the higher appreciation space, and become the new favorite of the collection market.

For example, the ancient lock in Chu Chen's hand is worth about 50000 yuan. As it is more and more recognized by the market, he estimates that the value will be doubled soon.

Wen Haoyang was very disappointed when he learned the value of the ancient lock, but the price of 50000 yuan was still within his range. If it was hundreds of thousands or millions, he estimated that it might collapse.

Wen Haoyang calmed down for a moment, and then asked: "curator of Chu, what's the age of this ancient lock?"

Chu Chen explained: "this is actually a silver engraved lock of the Song Dynasty."

The silver engraved lock consists of a lock and a key. It has a simple stipe, a flat head, a torus like body. The handle is surrounded by a single line pattern carved in the shade, and the middle is decorated with four groups of patterns of twining branches and precious flowers carved in the shade.

The upper part of the lock is a crossbar, and the two ends of the cocked part form a budding treasure flower. The lower part is a horizontal lock body, and the two ends are decorated like a hollowed out comb; the middle part is a box lock body, with a transverse convex lock hole on one side, and the surface is decorated with a double Yin line Ruyi pattern set off by a bead pattern. The middle protruding part is decorated with a Yin line, and the Huiwen pattern is the boundary, which is symmetrical to the left and right, and the protruding parts at both ends are decorated with a variety of Yin lines.

Chu Chen went on to say, "this ancient lock is beautiful in style and exquisitely made. It can be regarded as one of the best silver locks handed down from the Song Dynasty. However, the appearance of this silver lock is a little poor. Otherwise, its value can be higher."

At last, Wen Haoyang nodded and said, "yes, in fact, the reason why I lost my eyes is because of the appearance of the product. I also know that silver will turn black, but it's not as black as this. Almost the whole lock is black."

Chuchen smiles a little. This is also because Wen Haoyang doesn't look carefully. If he knows something about silver, he won't go astray. Of course, he certainly doesn't say this in front of Wen Haoyang.

Because of the time, Chu Chen talked with Wen Haoyang a few more words, and then he resigned.

He rushed to the hotel Chen Yingping said, but met his uncle and nephew at the door. Chen Yingping's nephew looked about thirty-eight, but maybe because he was fat and well maintained, his real age was older. His appearance is long and Chen Yingping some similar, this let chuchen heart made a murmur, is these two really nephew?After Chen Yingping introduced his nephew to Chu Chen, the two sides exchanged greetings and walked into the hotel, then followed the waiter to a private room.

Let the waiter serve the tea first. Chen Yingping's nephew, Chen Laiming, can't wait to say, "director Chu, there's not much money in the hospital. Let's talk about the business now. What do you think?"

"No problem." Chuchen returned with a smile.

Chen Laiming nodded and said, "curator Chu, let's open the window and tell the truth. First of all, I don't want to touch antiques any more. I don't want any of these things."

Chu Chen said, "Mr. Chen, I can understand your feelings, but I can't see the things. I'll lose money if I buy them."

Chen Laiming frowned: "curator Chu, I wonder if you can tell me which thing you can't see?"

"No problem..." Chu Chen pointed out the two pieces of porcelain in question and expressed his own opinions. Then he stares at Uncle Chen Yingping to see what their reaction is.

Uncle and nephew were very surprised. They seemed to have no idea that there was something wrong with these two things before, which made Chu Chen and Hu Yong admire. If they hadn't found some clues, they didn't believe that they were acting now.

After a while, Chen Laiming said with shame: "curator Chu, in this case, I'll keep those two things. As for the remaining three things, I'll count you 8.8 million. I know that the price is a little higher, but in business, I have to consider the cost. The big deal is that I take out the auction company for auction. In addition to the trouble, it's 8.8 million One hundred thousand is sure to sell. "

Chu Chen thought about it and said, "well, according to the price you said."

Seeing that Chu Chen agreed, Chen Laiming quickly expressed his thanks, and then he said with some embarrassment, "curator Chu, you also know my situation. Can you pay a deposit or something in advance? No, just twenty or thirty thousand, so I can pay for the medicine. "

If it's an acquaintance, it's OK to pay a deposit. The key is that Chu Chen doesn't know each other well, and he may be with CAI Jianxuan. Twenty or thirty thousand is not much, but if the other party takes the money and runs away, it's really disgusting.

Chen Yingping frowned and said, "Laiming, your things are not here. How can you let the Chu Museum head pay the deposit? What's more, it's very nice of you to ask for such a request after you and the curator of Chu have known each other for a while. "

"I'm not in a hurry!" Chen Laiming said awkwardly.

"Since it's urgent, I just gave it to you. Why don't you agree?" Chen Yingping blows his beard and stares.

Chen Laiming quickly said, "how can I ask for your money? Besides, it's not convenient for you now..."

Chen Yingping waved his hand and interrupted him: "OK, OK, let's not talk about this. No matter how inconvenient I am, I can still get 20 or 30 thousand. Give me the account number and I'll transfer it to the bank next door."

Hearing this, Chu Chen gave a snigger, and they sang and sang together just to extend Chen Yingping's inconvenient work. It is estimated that they just want to do something about it. Unexpectedly, he didn't answer first to see what they were going to do.

Seeing Chu Chen drinking tea indifferently, uncle and nephew seemed to be surprised. After a silence, Chen Laiming said, "uncle, forget it. Laifeng has lost so much in business. You'd better keep your money for him."

"How can I do this? It's important to save people. Give me the account number quickly!" Chen Yingping must insist that Chen Laiming give him his bank account number.

Chen Laiming had no choice but to give his account number to Chen Yingping. Then Chen Yingping said hello to Chu Chen and went to the bank next door to transfer money by ATM.

When Chen Yingping came out of the private room, Chen Laiming said to Chu Chen with some embarrassment: "director of Chu Museum, I'm really sorry. I've been hospitalized in a hurry."

Chuchen waved his hand with a smile and said it didn't matter. He asked with a smile, "Mr. Chen, you can rest assured to let Mr. Chen transfer money alone?"

Chen Laiming choked on this. After a while, he said with a smile, "my uncle has a strong temper and doesn't like to be looked down upon by others. I'll follow him and he will be angry."

Chuchen nodded with a smile. Even so, Chen Yingping is so old after all, and he is helping himself to transfer money. When normal people encounter this kind of thing, how can they not follow him?

Because of Chu Chen's problem, the atmosphere at the scene was a little strange, which surprised Chen Yingping who came back soon.

Chen Yingping glanced at Chen Laiming casually, then said with a smile, "it's almost time. Let's order..."
