Jianbao life

Chapter 701 Clues
After coming out from Zuoshan, Chu Chen and Hu Yong came to the ward where Lu Fuquan and his wife were not far away.

After several months of treatment, Mrs. Lu's injuries have basically healed, and she will be discharged from the hospital in a few days.

The couple were very happy to see Chu Chen coming in. They quickly asked Chu Chen and Hu Yong to sit down and made a cup of tea for them.

"Sister-in-law, how does your leg feel now?" Chu Chen asked with a smile.

"I feel better, but the doctor wants me to stay for a few more days." Mrs. Lu frowned when she said that. She has been in the hospital for several months, so she is very concerned about the situation at home.

Chu Chen said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, the doctor said this for your own good. Besides, you will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. You have been here for so long, so there is no rush."

Although Lu Fuquan was also concerned about the situation at home, he still agreed with what Chu Chen said, and said:

"Wazi Chen is right. After all, we have spent so much money on medical treatment. If there are still some problems, it is not a waste of money!"

"Crow's mouth!" Mrs. Lu gave her husband a blank look when she heard the words.

Chu Chen chuckled and asked, "Brother Fuquan, when will the doctor tell you to leave the hospital?"

"It's probably like No. 20." Lu Fuquan replied.

"No. 20!" Chu Chen said, "No. 18, I'm leaving for Myanmar, and I don't think I'll have time to come here."

Lu Fuquan quickly said: "It's okay! It's okay! We are all grown-ups, we will handle the discharge from the hospital by ourselves."

Chu Chen nodded. For this kind of thing, he just needs to say hello in advance. He said, "At that time, I still have a document on the establishment of the scholarship. Please bring it to the old principal."

Originally, it was nothing to bring documents to Chu Chen, and it was such a good thing, and of course there was nothing to refuse, so Lu Fuquan and his wife hurriedly agreed.

After chatting for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Chu Chen and Hu Yong said goodbye together.

The second day is the second day of the second month of the lunar calendar, also known as the dragon head up, commonly known as the Qinglong Festival, the legend is the day when the dragon raises its head, it is a traditional festival in rural my country, called "Dragon Head Festival".As the saying goes: "On February [-], when the dragon raises its head, everyone's small households will use cattle to farm." At this time, the sun rises, the earth thaws, and spring plowing will begin, which is the time to transport dung and prepare for plowing.

Chu Chen lived in the countryside when he was a child, so every year at this time, the village will celebrate the "Dragon Head Festival" to show respect to the dragon and pray for rain, so that God will bless the harvest.

However, living in the city now, there is no such activity, and even some people don’t know about this festival at all. Sometimes Chu Chen also thinks that people’s food, clothing, housing and transportation are getting richer and richer, but traditional culture is getting worse. Declining, is this cultural progress or regression?
After a little emotion, after breakfast, Chu Chen greeted his parents, drove to Uncle Wu's house, and took him to his store.

When he got there, Chu Chen dealt with some work matters before going to the next door to check the progress of the renovation.

In fact, if it is decorated like the main store, the next door should be completed by now, but this is a place to entertain VIPs, so the decoration must be more meticulous and the time will be longer.

After turning around and asking the person in charge a few more questions, Chu Chen walked back to the main store with satisfaction. According to the current progress, the work can be basically completed in another week, and it will be a disadvantage when he returns from England. , you can start the business.

When Chu Chen was walking to the door, he saw Zhu Dafu and others walking over together.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Qiao Qingtai smiled and said, "Xiao Chu, you have so many good things. I didn't sleep well last night after reading them yesterday. Look at me, my eyes are still red!"

As he spoke, he pointed to his own eyes jokingly.

The others also nodded repeatedly, expressing their agreement. When they saw so many treasures yesterday, they were stunned and envious, especially when they heard that these things were almost all picked up by Chu Chen. Almost stick out.

Chu Chen smiled and said, "Then why don't you sleep for a while?"

"How can this be possible?" Qiao Qingtai shook his head again and again: "It's hard to come to the capital, how can I fall behind?"

Chu Chen chuckled and asked, "Then what are you guys going to do today? Go to the market or take a look at my collection again?"

"Don't look at it, our eyeballs are about to fall out." Meng Yixian said a joke with a smile.

An Gongshi also smiled and said: "Yes! As the old saying goes, if you see it, you own it. Now it's just right. If I look at it again, I want to grab it!"

Everyone laughed for a while, and then Zhu Dafu said: "We are going to visit Cheng Tian today, will you go?"

The Cheng Tian that Zhu Dafu mentioned was the name of a hotel. Most people only know that there is a Panjiayuan Antique City in the capital, but real antique dealers know that there is also a Cheng Tian Hotel in the capital.

In the 90s of the last century, Panjiayuan’s business was booming. A large number of antique merchants came to Panjiayuan every week carrying antiques from various southern provinces to look for buyers, and Chengtian Hotel provided accommodation for these merchants.

Later, the merchants "woke up" and thought, why not display the collection of antiques in the hotel, so that all players and merchants can see their "treasures".

So, for a while, Chengtian Hotel became a "hot spot for antiques".In this way, Chengtian Hotel gradually developed into a professional market for antique merchants to make friends and buy and sell antiques, which also attracted a large number of professional buyers to Taobao.

Chu Chen hadn't been to Chengtian Hotel for a long time, so he readily agreed after hearing the words.Later, he went into the store and asked Uncle Wu if he would go, and Uncle Wu happily agreed.

A group of people came to Chengtian Hotel in a mighty way, because it was already past nine o'clock, and there were not many people here.

Standing at the door of the hotel, Zhu Dafu suggested: "There are so many of us, it's inconvenient to enter the room together, why don't we look at it separately?"

"Okay!" Everyone agreed, and then they were about to walk into the hotel.

"Just come with me!" Meng Yi first saw Ji Haoliang walking straight inside, and quickly stopped him.

"Why?" Ji Haoliang pouted.

"Just follow what your family Huizhen told me before she left, and you will rebel against her if you have the ability." Meng Yixian said with a smile.

"Rebellion is rebellion!" Ji Haoliang muttered, but even so, if he was really asked to take action, he would definitely not dare.

Meng Yi first smiled, and then walked into the hotel on his own. Although Ji Haoliang was extremely reluctant, he could only follow obediently.

Seeing this situation, Chu Chen couldn't help but secretly smiled, and then walked in.

From [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] am in the hotel, it is the time when there are most customers, and in the afternoon, there are much fewer people.As for the guests who come here, most of them are antique lovers in the capital, and there are also shopkeepers and dealers.

Because of this, there are more experts here. They have their own unique principles when buying goods, and it is difficult for them to be deceived by sellers. It is also because of this that the goods here generally sell better if they have a glance. Or most of the fakes, basically not many people patronize.

Of course, it is impossible to say that there are no fakes in the antique industry, and there are also a lot of fakes here, so when it is time to pay attention, you should be more careful.

Walking into the hotel, Chu Chen saw that many rooms opened their doors to welcome guests from all over the world.

In Chengtian Hotel, the tenants are roughly divided into three situations. One is to stay for a long time and sell goods in the form of a merchant.One is to make an appointment with regular customers, come and stay for a day or two, and leave after the business is done.

Finally, there is another kind of people who come to the weekend cultural relics and antique markets in Panjiayuan and other places to buy goods. They stay for three to five days at most. Those who are close to the capital come almost every week, rain or shine.

Chu Chen saw everyone walking into the room to pick out goods, so he also chose a room and walked in.

The owner of this room is a man in his 30s. When he saw Chu Chen coming in, he just nodded and smiled, and did not intend to introduce his collection. This is also because many people who come here are experts. In this way, they will know it at a glance.

Although Chu Chen is young, he is also an insider in case, so if he only cares about introducing his things with good words, it will only make jokes in the end.

The homeowner didn't put many things, only seven or eight pieces of porcelain, three of which were bucket color candlesticks, but it was these three candlesticks that aroused Chu Chen's interest.

In fact, the reason why Chu Chen is interested in Doucai Candlesticks is also because last night, he used an alcohol lamp to bake all the blank pages on the back. As he expected, those blank papers indeed recorded thing.

However, after he read it, he was somewhat disappointed. The five blank sheets of paper were only six related things drawn and related introductions written on them.In addition to the three treasure maps that were found before, the other two pages showed a colorful candlestick, and the last page showed a box and a key.

Beyond that, there were no other clues on paper.

Chu Chen was somewhat depressed about this kind of result. He originally thought that he could find some useful clues, but he did not expect this. Although these pictures are also helpful to him, they are actually no different from finding a needle in a haystack. It can only be regarded as better than nothing. .

Shaking his head secretly, Chu Chen stepped forward, nodded to the owner, and then picked up the candlestick to observe.

Candlesticks have appeared in the Three Kingdoms and Jin Dynasties. At that time, they were celadon candlesticks with various shapes. There were sheep-shaped candlesticks in the Three Kingdoms period, and lion-shaped candlesticks were popular in the Jin Dynasty.

In the Southern Dynasties, the shape of the candlestick became more and more complex. Its specially shaped base was in the shape of an upside-down lotus pod, with lotus decorations carved on the outside, and a horizontal partition on the top. There were four bamboo-shaped cups of the same size on the board, which can be inserted at the same time. Several candles.Sui and Tang ware candle holders are exquisitely carved.

The candlesticks of the Ming Dynasty are rich in shapes and have high artistic appreciation value. Among them, the candlesticks fired in the JDZ kiln during the Yongle and Xuande periods have octagonal mouths and pedestals, and cylindrical necks.During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, the candlestick had a tubular cylinder standing on a high plate, and the shape of the candlestick after the Qing Dynasty basically inherited this style...
