Chapter 50 Tea Taste Tea House
"Hello~Xu Yunhan, I'm Jing Shuo, haven't you arrived yet?" It was already [-]:[-] in the afternoon, and Jing Shuo had arrived at the teahouse a few minutes earlier. He made an appointment to meet Xu Yunhan at the door, so he called to ask.

"I've arrived, but I haven't been able to find the teahouse you mentioned." Xu Yunhan said helplessly after getting on the phone and driving around in the car. God knows, she'll be there in less than one o'clock.

Jing Shuo was silent for a few seconds. Originally, Xu Yunhan gave him the impression that he was a shrewd and cold beauty, but he didn't expect to be confused. Jing Shuo held up the phone and looked around, and then told Xu Yunhan about the teahouse on the phone. The surrounding markers, "Remember, you should be able to find it now, come here quickly, I will wait for you at the door."

Xu Yunhan walked around for a few minutes according to the conspicuous markers that Jing Shuo said, and finally saw Jing Shuo. Xu Yunhan waved his hand to say hello, and after parking the car, he carefully got out of the car with the cloth bag containing the painting and the purple sand pot. , looked in the direction where Jing Shuo was standing.

Uh... no wonder she couldn't find this tea-flavored teahouse no matter how hard she looked.

It turned out that this teahouse was not hung at the door at all. She imagined that it was like the large signboard that most teahouses would hang. On the side of the gate, you won't notice it at a glance, it looks like a residential courtyard!Xu Yunhan glanced at Jing Shuo who was walking beside him, this guy didn't explain clearly, and complained secretly for a while.

Passing through the unpretentious gate outside, the two walked into the yard, and saw various plants and flowers planted on both sides of the cobblestone road in the center of the yard, and wooden stands were used to support the vines. It was summer, and the vines were growing There are several bunches of ripe grapes hanging, and an elegant solid wooden birdcage is hung on the green shelf made of grape vines. Inside, a thrush is brown in body, with dark brown longitudinal stripes from the top of the head to the top of the back, and white eye rims. Singing, the voice is very loud, and the singing is melodious and melodious, very beautiful.

"The environment here can be called the fragrance of birds and flowers. It's hard to imagine that there is only a wall separating the quiet beauty here from the noisy streets outside." Xu Yunhan said in admiration.

Jing Shuo nodded and said, "This is the gate house, and this courtyard house is a courtyard with three entrances. This courtyard house was originally the house where a friend of the owner of the teahouse lived. Later, the original owner moved to live in Hong Kong with his son's family. Resold the house to Uncle Zhai, the current owner of the teahouse.

"You will see Uncle Zhai later. He is a well-known collector in the circle, and he is quite capable. He used the first entrance room of the courtyard house as a teahouse just to facilitate communication among Tibetan friends, and he is not open to the public. , the place behind the yard is where Uncle Zhai himself used to live."

The two were talking, and soon they walked into the main house in front. This is a tea-flavored tea house. It has a large area, a full seventy or eighty square meters. There are lattice windows, antique shelves made of pear wood are placed around the walls, and some ceramic crock bottles are placed on them. In the middle of the room, there is a large round table made of pear wood. The chairs and the whole teahouse follow the architectural style of Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the exquisite carving patterns can also be seen in the small places.

As soon as Xu Yunhan walked in with Jing Shuo, he saw a gray-haired but hale and hearty old man who was already sitting around a large round table made of rosewood with others, stroked his glasses and smiled at Jing Shuo. wave,
"Jing Shuo is here, come quickly, come and see what your Uncle Li has just found... Huh? Who is this girl?" Mr. Suo was a little surprised when he saw a little girl following his grandson. He knew very well that his grandson always treated women. No fake color.

"Grandpa, this is the original owner of the jade pot I gave you." Jing Shuo led Xu Yunhan forward and said to his grandfather, Suo Lao.

"Oh, so it's this little girl. Hello, please feel free to come here." Suo Lao, who was in a good mood, smiled and nodded to Xu Yunhan with a face to his grandson. You must know that Suo Lao has a weird temper. When you don't like people or when you are in a bad mood, you can often say a word that makes people feel uncomfortable.

"Uncle Suo, you might be suspected of doves occupying a magpie's nest with your behavior." The owner of the teahouse Zhai Yimin said with a smile, but turned his head and politely invited Xu Yunhan to take a seat.

Suo Lao on the other side didn't care what Zhai Yimin said, he had already dragged Jing Shuo to look at the bronze drum on the table.There were a total of nine people in the room, except for Xu Yunhan, all of them were men; and except for Jing Shuo, they were all middle-aged and elderly men. At this time, everyone's attention was focused on the bronze drum on the round table.

Xu Yunhan also leaned closer and listened to their discussion. After a while, Suo Lao took off his glasses and seemed to have a conclusion in his mind, but he didn't say it directly, but asked Jing Shuo, "Tell me about this bronze drum. .”

"Yes, let Jing Xiaozi talk about it first."

"Old Suo, your grandson must be very good, please tell me, Mr. Jing."

Jing Shuo didn't care about the flattery and praise of these people at all, but out of etiquette, he still bowed his hands to the people around him, and said modestly, "Thanks to the praise of the elders, then I will briefly talk about my humble opinion."

Jing Shuo picked up the bronze drum with a diameter of [-] centimeters wearing gloves, "Uncle Li, it is very good that you received this item this time. First of all, the bronze drum is very well preserved, and its copper body, that is, The copper used to cast it is very good, and it is entirely made of fine copper. In addition, the decoration is very exquisite. You can see that this drum head is a sun pattern that is commonly known by everyone. There are six swirling halos around it, and four boats are cast on the drum body. , and a few pictures of the life and work of the ancients."

"I think this bronze drum should be a small bronze drum from the late Warring States period to the early Western Han Dynasty. Unfortunately, this bronze drum has been rubbed too hard. If only the harmful rust was removed at the beginning, most of the rust was preserved. , this bronze drum will be more beautiful, it should look like apple green from a distance. But now due to excessive rubbing, it shows the inner copper color. Grandpa, I’m done talking, can you tell me about it?” Jing Shuo put down the bronze drum , looked at Suo Lao.

Xu Yunhan noticed just now that Suo Lao had been listening with a smile, probably agreeing with what Jing Shuo said. She looked at the drum on the table, and it was really rubbed too hard. Like bronze ware, only some green patina can be seen in the concave parts between the drum body decorations.
