Jianbao life

Chapter 903

The last blue-and-white dragon and phoenix washing from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty is not only exquisitely made, but also the most valuable among the three apologies from Chai Pingli. Chu Chen estimates that it is worth more than 600 million.

The three things are worth tens of millions. Chai Pingle's sincerity is considered full. Chu Chen is still very satisfied, but fortunately it is Chu Chen. Le probably lost his wife and lost his army.

After seeing Chai Pingle's apology, Mr. Xu admired the three things Mr. Zhang gave him again. At the end, he said with a smile: "The old saying is good, the crane and the clam compete for the fisherman's profit, and the ancients sincerely don't like it." Deceive me! But it's better to avoid this kind of thing in the future, otherwise, if you are so anxious one day, your heart will not be able to bear it!"

Chu Chen nodded again and again and said yes, although he took advantage of this incident, he also made a new discovery.But if the other party succeeds, or if the manuscripts are damaged, then he will die of depression.

Next, the three of them chatted for a while, and Mr. Xu invited them to his room to appreciate the apology given to him by Mr. Zhang and Chai Pingle.

The value of the apology given to Mr. Xu was much lower than that of Chu Chen, but Mr. Xu was not dissatisfied with it. In his words, there is no need to get angry about this when someone is in his seventies or eighties.Besides, he is also an old Jianghu, so he knows why Chai Pingle and the others did this.

Staying at Mr. Xu's until dinner time, Chai Pingle and Mr. Zhang came over to invite the three of them to the apology dinner they had prepared.Originally Chu Chen and Wu Ke didn't want to agree, but Mr. Xu couldn't save face, so in the end Chu Chen could only go with them.

Needless to say, there are all kinds of delicacies from mountains and seas. If it is not for the fear of backfire, Chai Pingle would like to serve some things that cannot be eaten normally.

Even so, Chu Chen didn't like people like Chai Pingle, and it was only because of Xu Lao's face that he agreed to come over. Although they didn't break up unhappy in the end, Chu Chen and Wu Ke ate such a delicious meal. Not very comfortable.

As for Chai Pingle and Mr. Zhang who apologized and toasted frequently, Chu Chen just dealt with it politely. Anyway, there will be no more intersections in the future, and the meaning is over.

Early the next morning, Chu Chen asked for help to transport his manuscript and the compensation he received yesterday back to the capital.Afterwards, he bid farewell to Mr. Xu who was about to go home, took a taxi with Wu Ke, went to the antique market to buy a incense jar carved with white jade, and two jadeite pendants as gifts, and then headed to Ningxia. A guest at Yi's house.

On the way, out of curiosity, Wu Ke discussed yesterday's pen holder with Chu Chen. She felt that Zhang Huoni made three things with basically the same scenery, and there might be some secrets hidden in them, and she put forward many ideas. There is also speculation about whether it is related to some treasure, which also made Chu Chen sigh that women's intuition is indeed powerful.

Speaking of which, Chu Chen will tell Wu Ke and his family about the treasure map sooner or later, because if there is a Jade Seal of Chuanguo, it cannot be explained by just picking up the leak.Besides, he actually has no intention of monopolizing it. The Jade Seal of the Kingdom has too much influence on the people of the country. This kind of thing is not suitable for personal collection. just work.

However, although you can tell your family members about the treasure map, you have to wait until the treasure map is completely collected, because it is not convenient for Chu Chen to explain the source of the treasure map and find clues for the rest.When the treasure map is completely collected, it will be fine. At that time, he can say that he found it in a certain box or bottle. As for why it is not the whole map, he can even find a reason to fool it.

Therefore, when discussing the bottle and pen holder with Wu Ke, Chu Chen did not disclose the treasure map, and of course the discussion could not lead to any results.

Speaking of which, Chu Chen also had some guesses about these three things. He felt that the clues should be the differences in the landscape and figure paintings, that is, looking for them from the different positions and movements of the figures in the landscape paintings.But it is also necessary to put the three things together to facilitate observation, and we can only talk about it after returning to Beijing.

The taxi stopped at the gate of the villa area where Ning Yi lived, Chu Chen made a phone call, and immediately a seventeen or eighteen-year-old sweet-looking girl came out.

The girl looks a bit like Ning Yi, Chu Chen guessed that it should be Ning Yi's daughter, and sure enough, through the introduction, the girl is indeed Ning Yi's daughter Ning Kejing.

Ning Kejing has a carefree personality. When she saw Chu Chen and Wu Ke, she showed a shocked expression. When she took the two of them to her house, she kept praising her talent and beauty. If her boyfriend also has It would be nice if Chu Chen was so handsome, anyway, he never stopped talking all the way.

Wu Ke is also an eloquent person. No matter what Ning Kejing said, she could talk to her. After a while, the two became best friends. response.

When they arrived at Ning Yi's house, while Chu Chen greeted Ning Yi and his wife, they also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking: "I'm finally free!"

After all, it was their own daughter. Ning Yi and his wife knew Ning Kejing's character too well. Seeing Chu Chen's expression as if he had escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, they still didn't understand what was going on.

Mrs. Ning glared at Ning Kejing: "You girl is bothering your brother Xiao Chen again?"
Seeing Ning Kejing sneaking a glance at him, Chu Chen quickly smiled and waved his hands, "Auntie, Xiaojing didn't bother me."

Hearing this, Ning Kejing also breathed a sigh of relief, she was most afraid of her mother's nagging at home.

After all, there were guests, and Madam Ning didn't blame her much, she shook her head and said, "You girl, I don't know who will stand you in the future!"

Ning Kejing said coquettishly: "Mom, I want to be with you and dad all the time, so I don't want to get married!"

Seeing this situation, other people showed knowing smiles on their faces.

Afterwards, Ning Yi invited: "Xiao Chen, stop standing at the door, let's go in..."

Taking Chu Chen and Wu Ke into the living room, Ning Yi invited them to sit down in front of an antique tea table.

"Uncle Ning, this is for you!"

As he said that, Chu Chen pushed a brocade box to Ning Yi, and then he handed the brocade box containing the jadeite pendant to Mrs. Ning, mother and daughter respectively.

"What is it?"

Ning Yi was not too polite, he opened the box and saw that it was a incense jar carved from white jade.

The material of this utensil is even and clean, carved with seed material, the shape of the utensil is elegant, the lines are beautiful and gentle, the evisceration is clean and neat, with a few cases, it suddenly adds elegance to the room, and Ning Yi can't help but applaud repeatedly.

The pendant given to Mrs. Ning's mother and daughter was also carved from high-ice jadeite. Regardless of the material or style, the mother and daughter liked it very much.

Ning Yi has two hobbies, one is tasting tea, and the other is tasting incense. Therefore, when he saw such a good incense jar, he immediately seemed a little fond of it, and exclaimed: "Good thing! Since it is Xiaochen, you If it’s something from a billionaire, then I’ll be disrespectful!”

Mrs. Ning knew something about Chu Chen's situation, so she didn't mind what Ning Yi said.When Ning Kejing heard that Chu Chen was actually a billionaire, little stars popped up in her eyes. Chu Chen is so handsome and rich, he is the Prince Charming in her mind!

However, when thinking that Chu Chen and Wu Ke are about to get married, I can't help but feel a little depressed and resentful. Why do good men fall into other people's bowls!
Not to mention that Ning Kejing was depressed there, after exchanging a few pleasantries, Chu Chen looked at the tea table in front of him. This table is made of Xiangfei bamboo as the main material, with a simple and elegant shape, simple and elegant, which is quite good.

"Uncle Ning, your tea table must be quite old!"

Ning Yi nodded with a smile and said, "A few years ago, I met in the antique market. The store said it was from the Republic of China, right?"

Chu Chen affirmed: "Yes, specifically, it should be from the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China!"

Mrs. Ning said angrily when she heard the words: "Don't worry now, I've been talking about whether this table will be replaced all day long, so you can invite an expert to come back and have a look!"

Ning Yi was very happy when he heard that the item had arrived. He said, "Isn't it a bad influence? It was also cheap when I bought it at the beginning, only more than 5000 yuan, but now it is much more than that."

Chu Chen nodded. The current market price of a Xiangfei table like this is at least 5000 to [-] yuan, and [-] yuan can't even buy a table leg.

Mrs. Ning didn't take it seriously: "Let's not steal or rob, what kind of influence is bad!"

"As the old saying goes, three people make a tiger, one thing more is worse than one thing less!"

Ning Yi waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's not talk about it, next, please pay me back for my craftsmanship. I haven't done it myself for a long time, and I don't know if I will retreat. Xiaojing, go Bring your spices here, let's drink tea today, taste the fragrance!"

Chu Chen said with a smile: "It seems that Ke Ke and I are blessed today..."

Although Ning Yi usually doesn't have much time to make tea by himself because of his status, but he is very talented in the tea ceremony.

Ning Yi is very talented in the tea ceremony, and Ning Kejing is not bad in the incense ceremony. When she started to grind the incense, she became quieter, as if she was a different person from before.

Ning Kejing adopts the method of extracting incense through the fire, carefully pondering, and slowly burning the incense. The agarwood cut into small pieces is placed in the incense burner, and the fine charcoal buried in the incense ash is simmered to give off a delicate fragrance.The fine fragrance rising from the stove is combined with the tea smoke from the high-pressure hanging pot.For a time, the room was filled with agarwood and tea fragrance, which was refreshing.

Next, everyone started tasting incense and tea. Ning Kejing first passed the incense burner to Chu Chen.

Don’t think that the incense burner can be passed around at will. In fact, it is very particular. The steps are passed from the previous person who smells the incense with his left hand to the next person’s right hand. The right hand of the next one, this kind of ancient sense of ritual, can make everyone sit upright and yearn for it...
