Chapter 293 The Road to the Flower God Cup (3)

The building that the old lady pointed out to Chen Ran reckoned that it was some years old, it should be a family home in the early years, the environment was very poor, and there was a musty smell in the stairway.

Chen Ran 'touched' the second floor, and there was only this one family on this floor, so it was obvious that Old Man Lin's family was also this one.

Ding dong... ding dong.

Chen Ran took a deep breath, rang the doorbell, and waited outside the door.

The doorbell rang for a while, but there was no answer, so Chen Ran could only press it twice.

"Who are you looking for?"

With a click, the iron door was opened directly, and the person who opened the door was a young man who was about the same age as Chen Ran.

"Little brother, is this Uncle Lin's house?" Chen Ran asked directly.

The young man glanced at Chen Ran, nodded and said, "Look for my grandfather, he's gone out and isn't at home, is there anything wrong with you?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Chen Ran was also refreshed. Regardless of whether he could get the two cups in Uncle Lin's hand, at least he found the right person now, and he didn't run away in vain. As for how to get the two cups into his hands? , Let's explore the situation first.

"It's like this. I heard that Uncle Lin likes to collect some old things. I'm also interested in this. I wonder if I can see some good things in Uncle Lin's collection..."

Chen Ran thought as he said, it would definitely not work if he wanted to buy it directly. It is not a secret that Uncle Lin has two Huashen cups in his collection. It's not his turn either.

"Are you the one who collects things?" Chen Ran didn't say that he wanted to collect things, but the young man said it all at once. Chen Ran sighed. It was clear that he was not the only one who came to collect things. It can be seen that he wanted to get something from Uncle Lin. It really took a lot of brainpower to get the two Flora cups in my hand.

Before Chen Ran could say anything, the young man shook his head and said, "He doesn't sell anything from my grandpa, so you should go."

As the young man said, he was about to close the door, but at this moment, a voice of inquiry suddenly came from inside the room: "Xiaoqiang, who is it?"

"Dad, he came to collect things." The young man replied without turning his head, and with a click, the iron door was closed.

Chen Ran frowned, leaving like this, he must not be reconciled, at least he had to meet Uncle Lin before talking, let's ask Uncle Lin when he will come back first.

"Are you collecting things?" Chen Ran was about to ring the doorbell again, when the iron door was suddenly opened. This time, the person who opened the door was a middle-aged man in his 40s, a little fat, with a crew cut, wearing big trousers and a white shirt.

"Whether you take it or not is the second priority. I mainly want to see the things that Uncle Lin has collected. If Uncle Lin is willing, I will bring back a few..." Although he could see that things had turned around, Chen Ran still didn't say that he wanted it. The one who collected things, but said it as tactfully as possible.

"Then come in and have a look." The middle-aged man, that is, Mr. Lin looked Chen Ran up and down, pondered for a while, and let Chen Ran in with a neutral expression.

"Be quiet, my mother is sleeping, don't wake her up, if you wake up, you don't even want to watch it." As soon as he entered the room, Mr. Lin told Chen Ran in a low voice, and followed Xiaoqiang at the back closed the iron gate as if he was a thief.

Chen Ran's heart skipped a beat, he restrained his expression, and nodded calmly.

"Go and see if your 'grandma' is awake?" Mr. Lin ordered Xiaoqiang, and then brought Chen Ran into the bedroom next to the bathroom.

Entering this bedroom, you can see all kinds of antiques and sundries on the bed, table, bookshelf, cabinet, and the ground, the most are strange stones, stamps, coins, and only five on the bed. There are six porcelain vases, including two pairs of moon-holding vases and a pair of plum vases.

It seems that this Uncle Lin has quite a wide collection of hobbies.

Chen Ran glanced at it, but did not see the Huashen Cup. He was a little disappointed, but he didn't show it. Instead, he observed these antiques quietly.

As soon as Chen Ran took a look, the door of the bedroom was gently pushed open, but Xiaoqiang pushed the door in with hands and feet, and closed the door carefully. Seeing Chen Ran and Mr. Lin looking over, he shook his head. After shaking his head, Mr. Lin felt relieved, and when he saw Chen Ran cast his eyes on those sundries, he shook his head and said, "Don't look at those broken stones, they are all picked up by my dad from the river, they are worthless , Stamps and coins are worthless, my dad bought them by himself, and selling them to you, Xueer, is not worth the money. You are only a few dozen yuan, 80 yuan. When my dad comes back, he will definitely find out. I don’t know how to trouble me. It’s not worth it for these small money. If you want to see it, just look at these porcelains Well, it's not in vain for me to take a risk."

While talking, Mr. Lin pointed to Chen Ran, and he pointed to the bottles on the bed.

"Dad, my grandpa said..." Seeing the porcelain that Mr. Lin pointed at, Xiaoqiang couldn't help but lost his voice, but before he finished speaking, Mr. Lin gave him a glare and interrupted him: "Your grandpa It means not to sell, but if not, where can I collect money from you to buy a house.”

After finishing speaking, he looked back at Chen Ran, and found that Chen Ran was carrying him behind his back, so he gave Xiaoqiang a vicious look, and gave Xiaoqiang two winks in succession.

Xiaoqiang looked at Chen Ran, then at Mr. Lin, and didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Although Chen Ran didn't see the target, but since Mr. Lin said so, he can only look at the few bottles on the bed. Although his goal is the Huashen Cup, if he can find something good, then Naturally, I will not let it go.

Chen Ran observed all the bottles on the bed, and with his eyesight, he could see that these bottles were fakes even without energy aperture detection.

In private, he discovered that these bottles were fakes, but on the surface, Chen Ran didn't show any strangeness, but after thinking about it for a while, he almost guessed Mr. Lin's intention of putting him in. Obviously, Mr. Lin just looked at himself as young, and felt that he should not be able to see the authenticity of these bottles. He put himself in, just wanting to use these bottles to fool himself. .

Chen Ran didn't have a good impression of Mr. Lin at first, but now it's even worse. Of course, impressions belong to impressions, and business belongs to business. These are two different things.

"Mr. Lin, these bottles of yours look good, but these bottles are ordinary bottles after all. My vision is a bit high. Just seeing these bottles can't satisfy me. Just like what you said , you have to risk being accused by Uncle Lin for transferring these things to me, and I also have to risk being accused. If such things get out, it will have a great impact on my reputation in the antique world Great influence, character is the most important thing for antiques, if I just bring back these few bottles, it won’t be worth it, do you think there are other better things?”

After observing several bottles, Chen Ran looked at Mr. Lin and said calmly.

"Yes, but it's useless if you look at it. My dad is very precious. He won't sell it, and I dare not touch it. If I touch it, he will definitely sever ties with me." Mr. Lin I looked at Chen Ran for a while, thought for a while, and shook my head.

Chen Ran's heart moved: "Then can I take a look?"

"It's okay to let you see it, but if you want to take it away, don't even think about it." Mr. Lin thought for a while, and felt that if he let Chen Ran see the old man's pair of treasures, maybe he could fool Chen Ran. However, he took away those bottles, so he hesitated for a while, and he agreed.

Chen Ran nodded calmly.

Mr. Lin gave Xiaoqiang a wink, and whispered in his ear, Chen Ran's hearing is better, and he heard that Mr. Lin asked Xiaoqiang to steal the key from Uncle Lin's room.

Xiaoqiang was a little reluctant, but after being stared at twice by his father, he could only open the door and get out.

After Xiaoqiang went out, Mr. Lin walked to the head of the bed and squatted down, pulling out a dilapidated old wooden box from under the bed.

The two waited for a while, Xiaoqiang sneaked in and handed Mr. Lin a very simple key.

Mr. Lin asked if Xiaoqiang had disturbed the old lady. After Xiaoqiang said no, he took the key and opened the box. There was a pile of broken porcelain in the box except for a small box.

After Mr. Lin took out the small box, he put the small box on the bed. While opening the small box, he told Chen Ran, "You can only look at it, but you can't touch it. This is a treasure. If it breaks, you don't have to pay for it." worthy."

Chen Ran ignored him, and after he opened the small box, he quickly looked over, and what caught his eyes was a pair of Flora cups.

One is lotus in June, and the other is chrysanthemum in September.

Although Mr. Lin got out of the way for Chen Ran, he didn't leave. Instead, he was protecting the small box. From this posture, he clearly refused to let Chen Ran get close.

"You can take the cup out of the box and put it on the bed, right?" Chen Ran frowned, and before he could answer, he released an energy aperture to detect it.

Although I know that the two flower god cups collected by Uncle Lin should be authentic Kangxi Dynasty official kiln flower god cups, but because of my impression of Mr. Lin, it is better to be careful so as not to get distracted.

Mr. Lin put two cups on the bed, and Chen Ran's energy aperture has also detected the results.

That's right, it's the real thing!

"This pair of cups is pretty good, can you give them to me?" Chen Ran pretended to observe, pointed to the two Huashen cups and asked.

Mr. Lin shook his head resolutely as soon as he heard it: "You can choose those bottles at will. I would not dare to sell this pair of cups. The old man loves them too much. If I sell them, the old man will be mad at me. No, you'd better look at other porcelains, this pair of cups, you'd better stop thinking about it."

Mr. Lin's attitude towards this pair of cups was very firm, and when he rejected Chen Ran, he would always lead to those bottles.

Chen Ran was a little reconciled. Compared with Uncle Lin's side, Mr. Lin's side was undoubtedly easier to break through. Although it was a bit unkind to do so, the big deal would be to compensate more in terms of money.

"I really like this pair of cups. You can make a price. As long as it's not too outrageous, you can pay as much as you want."

Mr. Lin waved his hand and said impatiently: "Why are you like this? If you say you won't sell it, you won't sell it. I don't want to piss the old man to death..."

Before he finished his words, he was suddenly interrupted by Chen Ran.

"I can offer you 70 yuan, what do you think?"
