Jianbao life

Chapter 1118
Now that we have decided to wait and see, everyone will find a hotel to stay in.

In the car, Hu Yong said: "Brother Chu, the staff member said just now that the Yuan family still owes some money. If they don't pay, the Yuan family's boy will be locked up for a longer time. Do you think Yuan Dazhong's son will For this matter, sell those materials for money?"

It should be said that most people would not sell the things left by the elder when he just passed away, but in reality there are many people who are so careless, and the son is still in prison, being a parent I am anxious, if someone bids high, maybe it will be sold.

Thinking of this, Chu Chen said to Zuo Shan who was driving: "Let's go to the address we gave just now and have a look."

Zuo Shan responded, and then, under the guidance of GPS, drove to the address given by the neighborhood committee just now.

After about four, five, and 10 minutes, the car passed through the urban area and stopped at the entrance of a village on the outskirts of Gushi. Yuan Dazhong's wife and children live in this village now.It is said that this is the farmhouse left to them by Yuan Dazhong's father-in-law when he passed away. If not, they would still have to rent a house to live in.

"Hey, it's not a mistake, why can't you even hear the sad music?" Hu Yong asked a little strangely.

Zuo Shan was speechless when he heard the words: "His family is like this, can he still afford a military band?"

"That's true." Hu Yong scratched his head: "Then let's go and have a look now? But, when we get there, should we go in?"

Chu Chen was also a little embarrassed about whether to go in or not. After all, they didn't know each other well, so there was no proper reason to go to express their condolences.

"Let's take a look at it first..."

Since the village road was not too wide, and they were driving a relatively large commercial vehicle, Chu Chen and Hu Yong got out of the car and walked, asking Zuo Shan to stay here to watch the car.

As soon as the two got out of the car, another Santana drove up the road.

"Hey, Director Chu..."

Just as Chu Chen wanted to leave, he didn't expect that there was a shout from the car. Looking back, he didn't expect that he was really an acquaintance.

The name of this person is Ren Yifan. He is an expert in calligraphy, painting and ancient books in the antique circle of Gu City. He met him at the antique exchange meeting in Star City before. Later, Chu Chen invited him to attend the opening ceremony of his museum.

Ren Yifan is over 60 years old, looks a bit like A Tubo in the game, and looks very kind.He got out of the car and greeted Chu Chen warmly.

After a few pleasantries between the two parties, Ren Yifan asked curiously, "Director Chu, are you also here to mourn Lao Yuan?"

The reason why Ren Fan was curious was simple. Although Yuan Dazhong had studied the "Shan Hai Jing" very deeply, he could be regarded as a senior expert, but this reputation was only spread in a small circle, coupled with Yuan Dazhong's withdrawn character , there should not be much chance of knowing Chu Chen, so he wondered why Chu Chen also got the news?

"That's the case..." Chu Chen explained the reason to Ren Yifan a little bit: "Actually, I'm also quite embarrassed. After all, I just left and it's not appropriate for me to talk about this matter."

"Oh, that's what happened." Ren Yifan said with a dazed look on his face, "Well, I'll tell Xiao Yuan later, and he'll probably agree, but he won't be able to do it in these two days."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen quickly expressed his gratitude: "It's okay for me to be two days late..."

Next, several people walked towards the destination.

Ren Renfan said as he walked, "Speaking of which, I heard that several people want to buy Lao Yuan's research materials. If you come a few days later, you may be preempted by others."

"Why do they want these materials?" Hu Yong asked curiously.

Ren Yifan said with a smile: "Let's not talk about anything else. There shouldn't be any problem with the materials used for the book, right? The materials that Lao Yuan studied are very detailed. When I saw him last time, he also told me I said, I’m ready to start writing a book, but I didn’t expect to encounter this kind of thing, the world is unpredictable!”

As he spoke, Ren Yifan shook his head and sighed, sympathizing with Yuan Dazhong's experience.

A group of people came to a farmhouse that looked like it had been in disrepair for a long time. They saw a few wreaths at the door, and the room was a little deserted. There were almost no mourners.

Seeing Chu Chen and others, a 47-year-old middle-aged man with a filial piety came out immediately. This man was Yuan Dazhong's son Yuan Guocai, and he greeted Ren Fan: "Uncle Ren, come here La!"

"Condolences..." Ren Yifan comforted him, and without saying anything, he let the man lead them into the house to express his condolences.

Afterwards, Ren Yifan called the man out of the room, and then introduced Chu Chen.

Yuan Guocai's reaction was also quick. Right after Ren Yifan introduced Chu Chen, he asked, "Director Chu, you must have come here because of my father's research materials, right?"

Ren Yifan looked at Yuan Guocai and asked, "Xiao Yuan, looking at you, don't you think there are many people here to ask?"

Yuan Guocai nodded and said, "It's true that there are quite a few of them. I answered no less than five calls in just one morning, all because of this matter."

Chu Chen asked quickly after hearing the words: "Mr. Yuan, I don't know if you agree or not?"

"Of course I didn't agree." Yuan Guocai waved his hand: "I sold my father's life's hard work as soon as he left. Am I still human?"

"Xiao Yuan, then you don't want to make a move?" Ren Renfan asked.

"To be honest, I really don't want to make a move." Yuan Guocai said with a wry smile, "But like my family, there is really no way not to sell it! Hey! In the final analysis, it was all caused by that bastard of mine."

Speaking of this, he showed a look of shame on his face, and then said: "Of course, even if you want to sell it, it will definitely not work in these two days."

"Then when are you going?" Chu Chen asked hastily.

"Let's wait a few more days. I plan to wait at least seven days."

Then, Yuan Guocai smiled wryly again: "However, the victim's family also told me today that they want those materials, and if they give them, my son's affairs will be cancelled. If they don't give them, they won't stop."

Hearing what Yuan Guocai said, Ren Yifan frowned and asked, "How much do you still owe them?"

Yuan Guocai replied: "It looks like more than 1 or less than [-]. In fact, with such a sum of money, I can only get it out after a year or two at most. At most, I can give them a little interest, but they just don't agree. They must have these materials. .It’s really deceiving! If you are in a hurry, I will copy those materials and spread them out!”

Ren Renfan sneered and said, "For such a small amount of money, they want to exchange the information back, what a dream!"

Yuan Guocai shook his head: "I know what they think, anyway, I won't agree, it's just that, that family is rambunctious, maybe they have to come and make trouble."

Ren Yifan said: "Don't be afraid of them, just give him the money, and if he makes trouble again, call the police. I don't believe we can't stop them."

"But this money..."

"Mr. Yuan, I can pay some deposit in advance." Chu Chen interjected.

"Isn't this inappropriate?" Yuan Guocai seemed a little hesitant.

Chu Chen said: "Mr. Yuan, I will treat the money as a mistake to you, or we can fix the price now, which will definitely satisfy you."

Yuan Guocai thought for a while and said, "Director Chu, in fact, apart from money, I have another request that may embarrass you."

"You say."

"That's right. I hope that after you buy those materials, you will publish a book about my father's famous "Shan Hai Jing" in the future."

Speaking of this, Yuan Guocai went on to explain: "For this work, my only requirement is that it must be guaranteed in essence. Let's talk about it first. If it is a perfunctory work, I have the right to take it back. "

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "No problem, I can fully promise you in this respect."

"That's fine. I hope to talk about the rest after seven days."

"no problem……"

Next, Chu Chen paid a deposit of [-] yuan in advance, called Zuo Shan to have lunch here, and then left.

On the way, Ren Yifan invited Chu Chen to sit in his shop, since there was nothing urgent in the capital, Chu Chen agreed with a smile.

Following Ren Yifan's car, we arrived at the largest antique market in Gushi. Although it was Sunday, there were not many people in the market. This was because it was already afternoon, and the other reason was that there were many people here every Thursday. There are many street stalls all over the surrounding lanes and alleys.

Talking and laughing along the way, we arrived at Ren Yifan's antique shop. As soon as everyone walked to the door, two middle-aged men came out of the shop.

One of them laughed when he saw Ren Yifan: "Hey, what a coincidence, we were just about to leave, and you came back, Mr. Ren."

Ren Yifan chuckled and said, "It turned out to be Boss Lu, did he fall in love with my treasure again? Let me tell you, don't even think about it!"

Boss Lu laughed and said, "Mr. Ren, you have quite a collection of exquisite products, so it's rare that even one of them doesn't hurt me!"

Ren Yifan shook his head again and again and said, "No, I don't know you yet. If there is one, there are two."

"That's a pity!" Boss Lu sighed regretfully, and then said: "Actually, I came here today mainly because my friend has a painting by Yun Shouping and I want you to have it appraised. I wonder if it is possible?"

In fact, under normal circumstances, Ren Yifan doesn't like appraising paintings and calligraphy to strangers.Seeing a good work is naturally a joy for everyone. As a connoisseur, the eyes have enjoyed a good meal, knowing that there are still many good works in this world, although they are not my own, I am also quite relieved.

As an owner, it is also very happy to have a little more understanding and love for the collection through appreciation and affirmation.

Unfortunately, however, this is not the case much.Most of the time, treasure appraisers often take out an imitation, or a shoddy fake, and then wait for the result with full expectation. That kind of feeling is not good. people feel uneasy.

In addition, in the past, Ren Yifan had encountered quite unhappy things when helping people to appraise, so he didn't like helping strangers to appraise from the bottom of his heart.But Boss Lu is his old customer after all, and he has known him for a long time. It is rare to ask him to appraise treasures, so he can only agree.
