"No, no matter how nicely you scream, don't even think about taking my mother eagle. It's mine now, so forget it."
Seeing that Zhou Chen was not moved by his persuasion, Han Chunming became very anxious and said hastily, "Zhou Chen, didn't you say you didn't understand? This copper coin is indeed a mother coin, but it has begun to rust. It must be removed by a special method. Give it to me and I will help you."
Zhou Chen was not moved at all and sat there calmly.
"Han Chunming, don't think I don't know what you are planning. If I give it to you, can I ever turn it back? So, don't even think about it."
Han Chunming was really anxious: "Zhou Chen, I bought this, it originally belonged to me."
"Haha, are you anxious? There's no point in being anxious. Don't forget, I gave you the money. What's more, you didn't recognize it just now, so you said it was a gift for me. You have to admit your mistake."
Zhou Chen said with a smile, not taking the anxious Han Chunming seriously at all.
Han Chunming regretted his decision so much that he slapped himself twice on the spot and cursed himself for being blind.
"Go on, just keep acting. Even if you sound sad and heartbroken, that won't work."
Han Chunming sat down on the ground. He had no time to study other copper coins. He looked at Zhou Chen with a sigh.
He finally understood that Zhou Chen would definitely not give it to him again. He was an "expert" and the treasure was right in front of him, but he didn't recognize it. Instead, it was picked up by Zhou Chen, a layman. It was really embarrassing.
After finally calming down, Han Chunming said, "Okay, I accept it. The mother coin is yours, but it really needs to be derusted, otherwise it may be damaged over time."
Zhou Chen frowned slightly. After a systematic appraisal, he knew that this mother coin must be very precious. If there was a problem with it, it would indeed be a huge loss.
"Can you do it?"
"You look down on me, don't you? I... Never mind. Let me find my master. He will surely be able to do it."
"Your master?" Zhou Chen asked knowingly.
Han Chunming explained: "He is the master who taught me how to identify old objects. He is really skilled. I am far behind him. He will definitely be able to restore this mother sculpture to its original state."
"So let's go now?"
In fact, the system has already recognized this copper coin mother, so it doesn't matter if you don't touch it, but Zhou Chen thinks that such a treasure should be better preserved. After all, it is a national historical relic and has extremely precious significance.
Han Chunming stood up and said, "Yes, let's go now. My master should be taking a nap at home at this time."
Seeing Han Chunming was about to leave in a hurry, Zhou Chen pointed at the copper coins on the ground and said, "Why don't you pick up these copper coins? Who knows if there are other precious mother carvings in them?"
"Yes."
Han Chunming patted his head, then his eyes lit up, and he thought to himself, yes, it is not impossible. Even if the possibility is very small, we can't give up.
So he carefully packed up the copper coins, even those that he had previously deemed to be of no value, and placed them in Zhou Chen's room, and then went out with Zhou Chen.
But just as he reached the door, Han Chunming suddenly stopped, turned around and asked Zhou Chen: "Zhou Chen, do you have any good wine here? My master likes wine. If you have good wine, we can talk about this matter later. He will definitely agree."
Zhou Chen said: "There is a bottle of rare Dongjiu, which is about ten years old."
"Oh, you still have such good wine, are you willing to take it out?"
"No matter how good the wine is, it's still wine. If I can get your master to help me restore the carving mother to its original state, a bottle of wine is nothing."
Zhou Chen has seen too many good wines and has drunk countless good wines. Although this bottle of Dongjiu is good, he is not reluctant to give it up.
"Okay, then go get it and we'll go out now."
Zhou Chen brought some wine and the two set off immediately. Han Chunming rode the bike and Zhou Chen sat behind.
After more than ten minutes, they arrived at a small courtyard. Before they entered, Han Chunming was already shouting loudly.
"Master, Master, I'm here."
The next second, there was a dissatisfied scolding from inside the house: "Grandson, you're here, why are you yelling?"
Zhou Chen was standing in the yard and soon saw an old man with silver hair, a slight hunchback but looking fairly wealthy, walking out of the house.
The old man was holding a palm-leaf fan in his hand, fanning it slowly. When he saw Han Chunming and Zhou Chen, he snorted softly.
"Grandson, why did you bring people here? Don't you know that your admiral grandfather doesn't like outsiders coming to my place?"
Han Chunming greeted him with a smile, supported the old man, and said flatteringly: "Master, this is not a stranger, he is my classmate and good friend. This time I brought him to see you for good reasons."
This old man is naturally Old Master Guan in the TV series Under the Zhengyang Gate. He is also the most divine soul figure in the TV series, who plays everyone around.
"Grandson, what good can you do?"
Han Chunming smiled and said, "Keeping it will make you happy, Zhou Chen, take the things out."
Zhou Chen understood what he meant, so he took out the Dongjiu he had brought and walked towards Grandpa Guan.
"Old man, I heard from Chunming that you like to drink. I took the liberty of visiting you this time. This is a gift for you."
Seeing Dong Jiu handed over by Zhou Chen, Mr. Guan's cloudy eyes instantly shone with light, and he snatched it from Zhou Chen's hand with lightning speed. Zhou Chen was a little dazed at the speed.
Han Chunming laughed and said, "Master, do you like this gift?"
Grandpa Guan nodded in satisfaction, and his attitude became much better: "You two boys are filial. Come on, go into the house and tell me what you want to see Grandpa Admiral for."
The old man is an honest man. Since he accepted Zhou Chen's good wine, he would naturally express his gratitude.
Han Chunming helped the old man into the house, and Zhou Chen followed behind, looking around curiously. He knew that the old man had countless treasures hidden in his house.

Chapter 641: Uncle Guan's Conditions, New Job
There aren't many things in the room, but it's clean and tidy.
Especially the furniture, even a layman like Zhou Chen can tell that they are old items.
But only a few pieces of furniture seemed to have some value, and the rest didn't seem to be anything special.
However, Zhou Chen knew very well that Mr. Guan was a very cunning person. He had hidden all his treasures long ago, and only a very small part of them were left outside.
And he also knew that the old man's treasures were hidden in the kitchen compartment.
Although he knew it, Zhou Chen had no other ideas. Although the old man's things were good, he had never thought of doing anything stupid.
In this era, in order to survive, many people will make similar choices as Mr. Guang.
Old Master Guan held the Dongjiu given by Zhou Chen and sat on the small wooden bed in the room. There was a small table in the middle. Even after sitting down, he did not put the wine down.
"Grandson, bring a chair to your friend."
"okay."
Han Chunming brought a chair to Zhou Chen, and then sat down opposite Grandpa Guan.
Grandpa Guan reluctantly put the Dongjiu on the table and asked Han Chunming and Zhou Chen, "You two brought such good wine here, it should not be a small matter, tell me, let's see if your grandfather, the Nine Gates Admiral, can help you solve it."
"Look at what you said. There are still things you can't solve."
"Don't give me that. Grandpa won't be fooled by you."
Han Chunming laughed twice, then his expression turned serious: "Master, I received a bag of copper coins today. When I was sorting them just now, I found one of them was very special. It should be the legendary mother sculpture."
"Dragon Mother? From which period?"
Mr. Guan's face changed, but he still said calmly: "Give it to me."
Upon hearing this, Han Chunming looked at Zhou Chen. Zhou Chen took out the carved mother coin from his pocket. The copper coin was wrapped in a handkerchief.
Grandpa Guan looked at Han Chunming in surprise: "Grandson, didn't you say you took it? Why is it with him?"
Han Chunming's face flushed immediately, and he stammered and couldn't speak.
The wise old man Guan quickly understood the situation and said with a chuckle, "It seems that you are mistaken."
Han Chunming said depressedly: "Master, I was indeed wrong this time. I am ashamed of you. I will be more cautious and serious in the future."
Grandpa Guan was in a very good mood. Instead, he said, "Grandson, you just need to know that you are embarrassed. Anyone can make mistakes. Even I, your master, can't say that I won't make mistakes. I have made mistakes many times in my life."
After hearing what Mr. Guan said, Han Chunming, who had been in a depressed mood, suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.
"Master, thank you for your teachings. Please take a look at this mother sculpture first."
"it is good."
Old Master Guan stopped talking and after Han Chunming opened his handkerchief, he gently picked up the copper coin.
After a few seconds, he was attracted, and then his whole mind was attracted by the copper coin. He turned it over and over and looked at it carefully for a long time.
"Boy, your name is Zhou Chen, right? Grandpa likes your gift very much."
As he said this, he wrapped up the copper coins again and stuffed them into his pocket.
Zhou Chen was stunned by the smooth movements. After he realized what was happening, he called out anxiously, "Hey, hey, old man, this is not a gift for you."
Han Chunming was also dumbfounded. Although he also wanted to get the mother coin into his own hands, he didn't expect the old man to be so arrogant.
Grandpa Guan stared at Zhou Chen and asked, "Didn't you just say you brought me a gift? I like this little thing very much. I think you are filial."
Zhou Chen really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This old man was playing with him, but he didn't know what to say. He just looked at Han Chunming.
Han Chunming's mood at this time was similar to Zhou Chen's. He knew that his master was a naughty old man, but he never thought that the old man would behave so shamelessly in front of him and Zhou Chen.
"Master, you can't be so mean. If this thing belongs to me, you can take it. But this thing belongs to Zhou Chen. He brought it here today to ask for your help in repairing it. You can't just take it for granted."
Mr. Guan didn't say anything, but suddenly said, "Pour the wine."
Han Chunming immediately took the wine glass with a smile, opened the bottle cap, and a special medicinal fragrance came out of the bottle.
Grandpa Guan took a few puffs with great enjoyment: "Not bad, not bad, this is the taste, pure."
Han Chunming immediately poured a glass. The old man picked up the glass and took a sip slowly, looking very enjoyable and savoring.
If it were an ordinary person, seeing Grandpa Guan being so dithering, he would definitely get anxious, but Zhou Chen was very calm. He didn't know Grandpa Guan very well, but he knew Han Chunming very well, so he was not worried that his carved mother would really be taken away by the old man.
The old man pondered for a long time, and then reluctantly took out the copper coin carving mother he had just put away.
"It's a good thing, very rare, but it's not well preserved and has some flaws, but they can all be repaired. You came to me not to appraise it, but to ask me to help repair it, right?"
"Master, you are indeed a master of predictions. We are here to ask you to help repair this copper coin mother."
Grandpa Guan said calmly, "With your tricks, can you hide them from me?"
Han Chunming smiled and said, "Of course we can't hide it from you, so what do you think about this?"
Grandpa Guan ignored Han Chunming and looked at Zhou Chen. He said slowly, "If you want me to help you, it's not impossible, but there is a condition. We have to agree in advance. If you agree, I will help you. If you don't agree, get me a few more bottles of good wine like this. Maybe when I'm in a good mood, I'll help you."
Han Chunming muttered, "Old man, why are you still talking about conditions? We are all family members."
Zhou Chen didn't mind. When asking someone to do something for you, you have to have a good attitude.
"Master, tell me what the conditions are."
Grandpa Guan pointed to the copper coin carving on the handkerchief and said, "This is it. I have repaired it for you. You must let me play with it for a while. I will return it to you when I have had enough fun."
Zhou Chen frowned slightly and asked, "How long do you plan to play?"
This was the first antique he had ever gotten, and it was a "bargain" he had found, so it had a different meaning.
To be honest, he was reluctant to give it to Mr. Guan, but the key point was that he didn't know how to repair it. If there was a way to restore it to its original state, he would still be willing to do so.
"hey-hey."
Grandpa Guan smiled happily: "How long it will take depends on my mood. One or two years is not too little, and three or four years is not too much."
After saying that, he waited quietly for Zhou Chen's reply.
After hearing this, Zhou Chen started to think seriously. How many years will Grandpa Guan be playing around?
A few years is neither short nor long for Zhou Chen, after all, he is only in his twenties.
However, he was a little worried that the old man might keep the money and then not give it to him.
"So, how many years will I exist for you?"
"Eh."
Mr. Guan tapped the table lightly and said with a smile: "Boy, you have a future."
In fact, he just said it casually, and he didn't actually think about really stealing this carving mother. He has a lot of things in his hands. Even if he is interested in this carving mother, he will not collect it in this way.
"Well, three years. Come back to me after three years and I will return it to you in its original state."
"Thank you, old man."
When he heard it was only three years, Zhou Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, then expressed his gratitude with a smile.
At the same time, he opened the system panel and took a look. He found that the number '1' in the column of Qing Dynasty antiques was still there and had not changed. This made him completely relieved.
Since the system still admits that the carved mother is his, it means that Mr. Guan really didn't have that kind of thought.
