Jin Yutong

Chapter 16 Lao Huang's Collection (This chapter is free)

The birdcage is a bit old, and the bars of the cage have turned yellow, and in some places it has even turned black. Chen Ran knows a little bit about ivory, and knows that it is the characteristic of ivory.

Generally speaking, the surface of ivory carving works of art begins to turn yellow after a long time, and then gradually turns from light yellow to turmeric deep yellow, until light brown. Often in different shades.

The red sunflower standing on the bird bar is also quite beautiful. Seeing Uncle Luo, she screamed happily, and the sound was a little bit loud.

"I'm not afraid of your jokes when you say it." Uncle Luo shook his head and sighed softly while teasing Hongxiu: "For me, Hongxiu is not only a red sunflower bird, but also a junior of mine. There are many things in it." The story. For so many years, I have always had a knot in my heart. If this knot is not solved, I will never forgive myself for the rest of my life. Hey, these things cannot be exchanged for money..."

"Old Luo!" Grandma Luo trembled.

In the end, Uncle Luo still did not transfer the red sunflower bird and the birdcage to Chen Ran.

Uncle Luo insisted on letting Chen Ran take away a pair of twelve red butterfly tails, and Chen Ran refused to take them away. The two even quarreled over this. No, he immediately smashed the fish tank and let the pair of twelve red butterfly tails fend for themselves. Uncle Luo was so angry that he almost beat Chen Ran with a mop.

In the end, Grandma Luo pulled the two of them apart, and then gave them a compromise.

A pair of twelve red butterfly tails, Uncle Luo kept one, and Chen Ran took the other.Originally Uncle Luo refused, but Grandma Luo persuaded him that he already had Chen Ran's contact information and asked their son to send the money to Chen Ran, so Uncle Luo gave up.

Naturally, Chen Ran wouldn't say anything, his goal had already been achieved, it didn't matter if he gave one or two, he knew that both himself and Uncle Luo knew that twelve red butterfly tails like this were rare What cannot be asked for cannot be bought with money.

The one left was exactly the one that Uncle Luo looked like the red butterfly he had raised before.

Even though he didn't get the birdcage in the end, Chen Ran was not without gains. At least Uncle Luo's attitude towards him changed.

"Young man, did old man Luo not agree?" Lao Huang was watching other people playing chess in the pavilion, when he saw Chen Ran coming out of Uncle Luo's house carrying a fish tank from a distance, he walked towards Chen Ran.

Chen Ran nodded with a wry smile.

"This damn old man still has such a bad temper!" Lao Huang muttered a few times, roughly saying that Uncle Luo is famous for his bad temper in this area, and he has some quarrels with many neighbors nearby, so he walked over In front of Chen Ran, he looked down at the twelve red butterfly tails: "Oh, this fish is really beautiful. I haven't seen it for many years. The first time I saw it was the one in old man Luo's house. Those of us are so envious, especially his red sunflower bird, he was very rare at that time, and he didn’t let us see it, so we often went to tease it secretly.”

Lao Huang laughed cheerfully as he spoke.

"You like it too?" Chen Ran raised his head and asked.

Lao Huang nodded: "This fish is so beautiful, who doesn't like it!"

Chen Ran was silent for a while, and suddenly said to Lao Huang: "Since you like it too, I'll give this one to you."

Old Huang was stunned, and looked at Chen Ran in surprise: "Young man, are you joking, this thing costs a lot of money, how can you just give it away."

"It's not worth much, you always like it, so just play with it."

"No! You should sell it, you can sell it for a lot of money." Lao Huang kept shaking his head, saying nothing, and since Chen Ran had this idea, seeing Lao Huang and liking it, he also Thinking of giving it to him.

After the two made way for a while, Lao Huang saw that Chen Ran sincerely wanted to give it to him, and after thinking about it, he said to Chen Ran: "Young man, how about it, you come to my house with me first, how about it? "

Chen Ran was puzzled, but still nodded. He also hoped to get more information about Uncle Luo from Lao Huang.

Old Huang's house is just next to Uncle Luo's house, and the houses are similar, but they look a bit dilapidated, and they are not as clean as Uncle Luo's house, and the furnishings in the house are also very simple.

"Young man, you sit down first, you're welcome, I'm the only one at home." Lao Huang greeted Chen Ran, then turned and went into the back room.

Chen Ran put the fish tank on the square wooden table and waited quietly.

Lao Huang didn't make him wait for long, just for a moment, he saw him coming out from the inside with a big drawer in his arms, and said to Chen Ran with a smile: "Young man, I think you like those weird things, I myself I also collected some, they are all toys from my childhood, do you like them, otherwise I would be ashamed to ask for your Twelve Red Butterfly Tails for nothing, but mine are not very valuable, so I don’t think you can add them up That twelve red butterfly tail is worth a fortune."

Hearing what he said, Chen Ran also became interested. He had just read so many books about collections, and it was time to see the real thing.

Although Lao Huang said that the items in his collection were worthless, from Chen Ran's point of view, these items were good, at least they were genuine items.

The reason why Chen Ran can be so sure is that these things are not too complicated, and it is easy to identify them. After reading the books like a duck, he can still distinguish the real from the fake.

The things are good, but they are not very old. This may be mainly because Lao Huang is not a collector, but just wants to keep some memories of his youth.

The most popular tooth figures in the drawer were the most popular in the 70s and 20s. At that time, there were not many interesting things for children, and tooth figures were just one of the toys. These tooth figures are represented by Chen Ran. Look, if you sell it, you can sell it for one or two hundred each, and there are more than [-] in Lao Huang's drawer.

There are still a few books left, all of which are rare ancient books. Chen Ran read it, and the oldest one is only one from the late Qing Dynasty. I know how much it's worth, but it's not too high, probably around a thousand.

In addition to these, there are some inkstones and a pen holder. Looking at this pen holder, Chen Ran looks familiar, like an old object made of pear blossom wood, but it will not be too long, at most it is from the late Qing Dynasty.

Others are very ordinary, and it is considered a good collection for the old people who lived in that era.

"I'll just choose this one!" Chen Ran finally chose the pear blossom wood pen holder.

Lao Huang frowned: "You look for it again, how about one, it's not worth much, take two more, and take whatever you like, I'm not as obsessed with what I like, like old man Luo, I keep these things and I keep them.”

Under Lao Huang's tough attitude, Chen Ran had no choice but to choose the Buddhist scripture again. Even so, Lao Huang was still dissatisfied, so Chen Ran had to tell him the approximate value of the pear flower wood pen holder and Buddhist scriptures, and a pair of twelve red butterflies. The tail is not much different.

Chen Ran not only told him the value of the pear wood pen holder and Buddhist scriptures, but also told him about other things. Although these things are not expensive, they are worth a lot, so that they will not be taken away at a low price when the time comes. Let Lao Huang suffer.

It was only then that Lao Huang realized that these things of his were worth so much money, but he was not going to sell them. If it wasn't for Chen Ran, others would probably not let them see them. These things are undoubtedly very commemorative.

After finding two old things, Chen Ran was about to leave, but before Lao Huang left, he asked Chen Ran to come back tomorrow. In the evening, he was going to go to Uncle Luo's house to be a lobbyist for Chen Ran .

Naturally, Chen Ran was very grateful, secretly thinking that this twelve-red butterfly tail was not given away for free, and no matter whether there was a result or not, he had to accept his love.

The next day, when Chen Ran woke up, he saw the sun rising high outside the window at the first sight, but then his expression suddenly froze!

To his surprise, he actually had another dream last night... This time the dream made him a little strange.

The things in the dream had nothing to do with him, and they couldn't make money. What he dreamed was that someone kidnapped a six or seven-year-old boy, and Chen Ran not only didn't know this little boy, he didn't even know him. I've never seen it...how could I have such a dream?

Chen Ran is really weird!

Chen Ran didn't think much about this question, because it wasn't the most important thing, the little boy was the most important thing.Even though that little boy had nothing to do with him, he couldn't just sit back and watch him.

It’s okay if you don’t know about such a thing, but you just know it, or know it in advance, so you have to find a way to save it.

Another point is that Chen Ran is not sure that this little boy must have nothing to do with him, otherwise, how could he suddenly have such a dream, at least before this, such a thing has never happened.

Just like Uncle Liang... how to save the little boy, Chen Ran's first thought was to call the police, but after he thought about it seriously, he gave up this idea. There are many reasons for this.

First of all, it is very troublesome for him to report to the police, and the other is that when he reports to the police, the police must first confirm the authenticity of the matter before filing a case. It would be better if Chen Ran secretly rescued the little boy himself.

The last point is that Chen Ran didn't want to expose himself, after all, he was also worried about whether there would be any grievances involved in it, and then he would be involved as well.

It has to be said that Chen Ran is still a selfish person after all.

The first thing he thought of was himself, and then other things... Before he had time to think about it, Chen Ran looked at the time and found that it was already past ten o'clock. From here, he also discovered a little more, the time for him to dream and sleep Also getting shorter.Putting on his clothes, he hurriedly washed his face, without even brushing his teeth, Chen Ran hurried out.

This moment, obviously, time is life.

"Master, go to Xinmi."

Chen Ran, who was driven out, directly intercepted a taxi, and in an instant, the taxi rushed towards Xinmi...
