Jianbao life

Chapter 849 Depressed Old Fei

After listening to Dean Sima's explanation, everyone agreed that if there is nothing special about it, it is impossible for a guqin to survive for more than 600 years.

Besides, this is a guqin that even the King of Zhuang of Chu is obsessed with. Even if the maker has the level of a master, if there is no unique material, it should be extremely difficult to make a guqin that can linger on!

At this time, Yu Renpeng finally came back to his senses, and asked a little dumbfounded: "Guys, this Guqin is really the Chuzhuang King's Guqin?"

"You're asking, can we still lie to you?" Dean Sima laughed.

"This..." Although Yu Renpeng knew that everyone should not be joking about this matter, he still had a look of incredulity on his face, and said, "But, wasn't the King of Chu Zhuang smashing the Raoliangqin? Could it be that someone dropped it at that time?" Bao? I really hope that this is a real qin, but this point still has to make people suspicious!"

Dean Sima nodded: "Regarding this point, some of our researchers also have doubts, guessing whether this is an imitation that was also more than 600 years ago, although this possibility is unlikely, But it still needs to be ruled out.”

"As for the method of elimination, it is also simple, as long as the guqin is repaired, try its sound quality. Otherwise, the sound quality of the qin does not have the sound quality of "wound beam" or similar. Even if we believe that it is genuine, the public will I won't trust our judgment..."

"Yes!" Fei Lao nodded: "Xiao Chu, now let's talk about the restoration of the guqin."

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Old Fei, I don't know anything about this business, so just do what you say!"

"Even if you don't understand this, I have to explain it to you!"

Fei Lao said: "First of all, this piano body, because of its special material, only needs to be dehydrated to a certain extent. The other is the strings. I discussed with several experts and basically decided on several sets of plans."

Hearing this, Chu Chen asked curiously: "Old Fei, didn't you say before that you can just use your set of 'ice strings'?"

Fei Lao said: "Of course it can be used, but if it doesn't match or the satisfactory effect cannot be achieved, the string must be replaced with another material."

Chu Chen said: "I have no opinion on this aspect, as long as the sound quality of this guqin can be used."

Next, everyone discussed the restoration of the guqin. Of course, it was Lao Fei who was talking, and the others were mainly as listeners.

At the end of the discussion, Dean Sima looked at the guqin in front of him again, and sighed secretly. He really hoped to keep the guqin in the Forbidden City, but judging from the current situation, it is impossible for Chu Chen to agree. It can only be the next best thing.

"Boss Chu, can we have a discussion..."

Speaking of this, Dean Sima quickly added: "Don't worry, I won't talk about the acquisition."

Chu Chen chuckled and said, "Dean Sima, if you have something to say, you can just say it. I will help if I can."

The implication is that if he can't help, he will definitely not help.

Seeing that Chu Chen didn't reveal anything, Dean Sima was somewhat helpless, and said, "That's right, I mean, if there is a chance in the future, our two families will regularly exchange some cultural relics every year. What do you think?" ?”

"Your opinion is to exchange exhibits?" Chu Chen asked.

"Yes!" Dean Sima nodded.

Chu Chen didn't need to think about it, he also knew that this matter would benefit him a lot.You know, he has a lot of good things, some of them are orphans, but the Forbidden City is a big business, no matter the number of cultural relics or the degree of preciousness, it can be said to be world-class, and he must not be able to compare. Therefore, he will definitely not suffer from the exchange of cultural relics.

Moreover, not only did Chu Chen not suffer, he also made money, because in this way, it was equivalent to using the reputation of the Forbidden City to advertise for him. If he refused to agree to such a good thing, he would really be a fool.

However, as soon as Chu Chen nodded, Yu Renpeng next to him said, "Dean Sima, this matter is a good thing for both of our families, but I have to say one thing. But it must be my junior brother’s museum.”

Hearing what Yu Renpeng said, Dean Sima couldn't help being stunned. To be honest, he really thought so before.

At this time, Chu Chen said, "Brother, I promised earlier that this guqin is going to be unveiled for the first time on the day Fei Lao's museum opens."

Yu Renpeng was slightly taken aback, he really didn't expect such a thing, but since Chu Chen had already agreed, he couldn't say much, but he still felt very sorry about it.

Hearing this, Lao Fei smiled wryly and said, "Xiao Chu, thank you for remembering this, but it's what I said before, let's forget about it!"

Hearing Fei Yu's words, Chu Chen knew that he was still worried about Fei Yu's matter, and Fei Lao looked much older than the last time when he came here this time, with a lot of white hair and frowns added, at least he looked old five years old.

"Old Fei, as the old saying goes, you can't overturn a boatload of people with one pole..."

"Xiao Chu, listen to me!"

Before Chu Chen finished speaking, Fei Lao waved his hand and interrupted: "Xiao Chu, thank you for your kindness, but my museum may not be able to open!"

"Ah! What's going on here?" Except for Dean Sima, everyone at the scene was extremely surprised by the news.

"What else could be going on? This time I was miserably hurt by that unfilial son of my family!" At the end, Mr. Fei seemed to have lost all his strength, and sat down on the sofa with disappointment, frustration, grief and anger on his face. All in one.
After a moment of silence, after Fei Lao's mood stabilized for a while, Liu Lao asked, "Old Fei, what's going on!"

"It's up to me!"

Seeing Lao Fei's heartbroken look, Dean Sima explained to everyone: "Didn't Boss Chu investigate and find out that Fei Yu sold a lot of cultural relics to buy a villa two days ago? Feeling wrong, he quickly called me over and identified all the cultural relics in his vault one by one, and it turned out that at least one-third of the things were fakes..."

"What?!" Everyone was shocked by this.

The last time Chu Chen asked Lin Shengfu to help investigate Fei Yu's matter, Lin Shengfu or his friend is very capable, and within a short time, he investigated Fei Yu's source of funds clearly, and called the person who was still in Wucheng. Chu Chen.

What made Chu Chen feel unexpected and reasonable was that Fei Yu’s funds were obtained in exchange for antiques, and Fei Yu, an ignorant prodigal son, had his source of antiques self-evidently. up.So he called Mr. Liu at that time and asked Mr. Liu to pass the news to Mr. Fei. As a result, the situation was obviously worse than what Chu Chen had expected.

Mr. Liu quickly asked: "Old Fei, isn't your vault newly built, and only you know the password and key? How could your son know?"

Mr. Fei smiled wryly and said: "Isn't there a servant in my family? She has been in my house for several years. Because she is very well-behaved, my wife and I treat her like a daughter. I never thought she would do such a thing! What a Japanese defense Night defense, house thieves are hard to imitate!"

Hearing this, everyone understood that Mr. Fei must have been negligent when he treated his servants like his daughters. Therefore, Fei Yu took advantage of his loopholes.

And not only that, Chu Chen also had a guess, maybe that villa might have been bought by Fei Yu to his servant, but it is inconvenient for him to ask more about such things, so as not to expose Lao Fei's scars again .

However, Mr. Liu still couldn't figure out one thing, so he asked again: "Old Fei, according to your temperament, you should take a look at your collection in a few days, you didn't see something wrong with your collection before? "

Old Fei's face was full of bitterness when he heard the words: "The point is, what they exchanged was either porcelain or jade at the beginning, and it was not until the end that they exchanged my two guqins, and the replacements were all high imitations that could be faked. I don’t even know where those things come from.”

"Yes!" Dean Sima nodded again and again: "Those high-quality imitations are really excellent. If you don't look carefully, you can't see that there is something wrong with them. Well, this time, Lao Fei also brought two things with the help come over."

As he spoke, he pointed to the two brocade boxes beside him.

When Mr. Liu heard this, he became energetic. Even Dean Sima and Mr. Fei couldn't tell if it was true or not, so he really had to take a closer look.

Then, Fei Lao took out the contents of the box, one was a string of Qing Dynasty court beads made of jadeite, and the other was a white-glazed engraved four-series pot.

Mr. Liu said with a smile: "Let Ah Chen see the jadeite stuff, he is the recognized 'Jade King' in the jadeite industry."

Chu Chen smiled bitterly when he heard the words: "Master, don't bury me. How dare I use this title in front of seniors! Besides, the title of Jade King was given to me by someone else. I have never Admitted!"

Regarding Chu Chen being called the 'Jade King', Dean Sima and Mr. Fei, who didn't know the inside story, were also quite surprised, and asked curiously what was going on.So, Yu Renpeng explained the reasons. Hearing that Chu Chen was able to defeat the Emerald King, they were shocked and didn't know what to say.

After this episode, the atmosphere at the scene was finally not as dull as before, and then Chu Chen picked up Fei Lao's string of court beads and looked at it.

Chaozhu, a string of beads worn on court clothes in the Qing Dynasty.Chaozhu is a kind of pendant on the dress of the Qing Dynasty, which is hung on the neck and hangs on the chest.

The materials of court beads include Dongzhu, jadeite, agate, kyanite, coral and so on.There are a total of 108 court beads, and one big bead is inserted into every 27. There are four big beads in total, which are called sub-beads. On both sides of the beads, there are three strings of small beads, two on the left and one on the right, with 10 beads each, named "Ji Nian".
