Scratching his head with melancholy, Zhou Chen stopped thinking about it. He believed that there would always be a way out when he reached the mountain.

His eyes shifted to the wooden box that Han Chunyan sent him. He had no expectations for what Han Chunyan sent him.

He has been studying antiques for more than two years. Although he has obtained some authentic items, there are only two that meet the system requirements.

Even he only had such a small probability. He didn't think that Han Chunyan, an outsider, could give him an antique that met the system's value. He didn't even have any hope whether it was authentic.

After opening the wooden box, Zhou Chen saw a bluish round plate with a three-legged bottom.

“Is this porcelain?”

After all, he had read history books for several years and studied many antiques, including many pictures and articles about ceramic items.

Ceramic items are relatively precious and cannot withstand collisions, so Zhou Chen carefully took it out of the wooden box.

After all, it's a token of someone's love. Even if it's fake, it doesn't matter if you study it.

But he never expected that the moment he picked up the porcelain, a prompt would appear in the system.

Zhou Chen immediately opened the system panel and soon discovered a number, 1, in the column for Song Dynasty antiques in the side quest section of the system panel.

"Isn't it?"

When Zhou Chen saw the introduction of the system panel clearly, he felt his head buzzing.

This item comes from the Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty and is called the Yingqing Glaze Tripod Washbasin.

Zhou Chen knew the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty, namely Ru Kiln, Guan Kiln, Ge Kiln, Jun Kiln and Ding Kiln.

The porcelains produced by these five famous kilns are absolutely fine products, and very few have survived to later generations.

In the TV series "Under the Zhengyang Gate", a Ge Kiln porcelain appeared, the Ge Kiln Octagonal Cup.

Zhou Chen didn't know how much the Ge Kiln Octagonal Cup was worth, but he knew that in the TV series, Su Meng and his uncle spent 60 million to buy a number of porcelains, mainly the Ge Kiln Octagonal Cup.

Although they were cheated, this price can still be used as a reference price. In a few decades, the value of the Ge Kiln Octagonal Cup will definitely not be less than tens of millions.

Zhou Chen didn't know which one was better, the celadon glaze tripod washbasin or the Ge kiln octagonal cup, but he felt that the celadon glaze tripod washbasin came from the Ru kiln and its value would definitely not be less than the Ge kiln octagonal cup, and even if it was less valuable, it would not be by much.

Even without the Ge Kiln Octagonal Cup for comparison, the fact that this celadon-glazed tripod washbasin can be recognized by the system is enough to prove its value.

"Good stuff, really good stuff."

His eyes were fixed on the celadon-glazed tripod washbasin, fearing that it would disappear from his sight.

More than two years have passed. At first, Zhou Chen only collected antiques to complete the task, but as he learned more, his mentality slowly changed and it became an interest.

Finding a treasure now is definitely a happy thing for him.

After looking at it for more than half an hour, Zhou Chen put the celadon glaze tripod washbasin back down. He was happy, but he still had a lot of doubts.

The celadon-glazed tripod washbasin was brought by Han Chunyan. Zhou Chen felt that she would not lie to him and it should not have been taken from Han Chunming, so she must have bought it herself.

But if that was the case, it would be too fantastic. This luck was really against the sky, even more fantastic than the time when he got the copper coin mother.

"Could it be because she is the elder sister of Han Chunming, the Son of the Plane, and therefore has also been blessed with Han Chunming's aura as the protagonist?"

Zhou Chen began to have wild thoughts, and even had the idea of ​​asking Han Chunyan to buy a few more antiques.

"But this time, I owe you a big favor."

If Han Chunyan had given him something else, no matter how expensive it was, Zhou Chen would have found a way to return it. But now Han Chunyan had given him a big gift, so this favor was really a big one.

But such thoughts would soon be diluted by joy. Why bother about so many things? The most important thing now was that he got a flawless treasure.

On the eve of the Spring Festival in 78, Han Chunming hurriedly knocked on the door of Zhou Chen's house.

"Why are you here?"

The New Year is approaching, and the weather in Yanjing is getting colder. Zhou Chen is no longer working. Except for going out to shop and Taobao every day, he stays at home.

Han Chunming said, "I have already told my master what you told me before. He asked you to go to him when you are free and take the Xianfeng Baoquan coin as the 500-yuan carving mother."

"Really?"

Zhou Chen was shocked. He had been looking forward to this day for a long time. He was always worried because his things were outside.

You must know that he handed over tens of billions of dollars to the group. Although the value of the antiques is not cheap, it certainly cannot be compared with his company.

But even so, he cared more about the 500 mother carvings of Xianfeng Baoquan than the original group company.

So when he heard that he could take back the Xianfeng Baoquan as a 500-yuan carving mother, he was extremely happy.

"There's no time to lose. Wait for me. I'll change my clothes and come over."

Zhou Chen was about to walk into the room, but Han Chunming suddenly stopped him.

"No, find some time to go there yourself. I have something else to do today, so I won't go with you."

Zhou Chen paused and asked in surprise: "You're not going with me?"

Han Chunming shook his head and said, "I have something else to do. Anyway, you can find the old man, so you can go there by yourself, so that I won't see your things and get jealous."

"Okay, go do what you want."

Zhou Chen didn't care. After Han Chunming left, he changed his clothes, thought about it, took two bottles of wine from home, and then pushed his bicycle out.

When he arrived at Grandpa Guan's courtyard, he did not go directly into the room, but shouted outside: "Grandpa, are you home?"

"What are you shouting for? Come in quickly."

Mr. Guan's voice came from the inner room. Upon hearing it, Zhou Chen went in with the wine.

When I entered the room, I saw the old man sitting on the recliner just like last time. There were wine glasses and plates on the small table. It was obvious that he had just drunk some wine.

Zhou Chen laughed and said, "Grandpa, look what I brought you."

As he spoke, he placed two bottles of wine on the table. When Grandpa Guan saw them, his cloudy eyes instantly brightened up and he quickly grabbed the two bottles of wine in front of him.

"Oh, five dollars for a good bottle of wine, boy, you are much more generous than that brat Chunming."

Zhou Chen smiled and said, "As long as the old man likes it."

Grandpa Guan looked up at Zhou Chen and suddenly smiled, "Okay, since you are so polite, go, your things are on the cabinet, take them over and have a look."

Zhou Chen didn't beat around the bush and walked over to see the brass mother sculpture placed on the cabinet, which was placed in a small box.

Picking up the box, Zhou Chen took out the copper coin and looked at it. He saw that the coin had changed greatly from that year. The rust on it was gone and it became much smoother. It seemed to be a little newer, but not too obvious.

The most important thing is that the copper coin was not damaged at all.

"Master, your craftsmanship is amazing."

"Hehe, there's no need to flatter me. Just take the things and return them to their original owners."

"Thank you, old man."

"Come here, sit down, I want to ask you something."

Zhou Chen sat down again: "Old man, what do you want to ask?"

"I heard from Chunming that you are also interested in old things?"

"Yes, very interested."

Mr. Guan nodded, and then asked, "In your eyes, what do you think is the significance of these old objects? Do you collect them to make money, or for some other reason?"

Zhou Chen didn't expect that Mr. Guan would ask this question. He didn't answer immediately, but thought about it seriously before giving an answer.

"Old man, to tell you the truth, I didn't have much interest in antiques before, but when I was in the production team, I saw a lot of precious old things being destroyed, which made me sad. Since then, I have become interested in them."

"You asked what they are to me. My answer is that these things are history, the heritage of our country, and the treasures left to us by our ancestors."

"I collect them not for the purpose of making money, but simply to keep them and prevent them from being destroyed or circulated abroad. These are treasures of our country. Foreigners can appreciate them, but they must not be taken away by them, let alone taken for themselves."

This was half true and half false, but it made Mr. Guan's expression become very serious, and he slammed the table.

"Okay, okay."

"Boy, I was right about you. You are right. This is our country's treasure. It cannot be taken away by foreigners. Very good."

As he spoke, he took out a few old-looking books from the recliner beside him and placed them in front of Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen looked at Grandpa Guan in confusion: "Grandpa, what is this?"

Grandpa Guan said, "I like you. If it were a few years or ten years ago, I might have accepted you as my apprentice, but I am old now and don't have the energy or the determination. Here are some of my experiences. Take them back and read them. They will be helpful to you."

Zhou Chen was shocked. He thought these books were antiques, but he didn't expect them to be Grandpa Guan's experience books. These were knowledge, more precious than antiques.

"Old man..."

"Okay, your grandfather, the Nine Gates Admiral, doesn't like sentimentality, so just take it."

Zhou Chen pursed his lips, said nothing more, and just put the book away: "Thank you."

"Don't thank me yet. You have to remember what you just said. If you disobey it in the future, your grandfather, the Nine Gates Admiral, will not let you go."

"Don't worry, old man. I will never do that. I'm not bragging to you. If I want to make money, there are many ways to do it. I will never use antiques to make money."

"It's good that you have this idea. By the way, I heard from Chunming that you received a treasure?"

Grandpa Guan suddenly changed the subject, and Zhou Chen immediately understood. Apart from the Ru kiln tripod washbasin that Han Chunyan had given him not long ago, he only had one item that could be called a treasure.

"Old man, are you talking about the Doucai Chicken Cup?"

"Yes, that's it. Bring it here tomorrow and let me have a look. It's a great treasure. I don't have it in my collection."

"Okay, old man, don't worry, I'll bring it to you tomorrow."

If it was before, he might still be a little hesitant, but now, he didn't hesitate at all and agreed directly.

"That's it, hurry up and get out of here, I want to drink."

This old man really didn't know how to be polite at all, but Zhou Chen knew him quite well, so he didn't say anything and just left with his things.

"Master, I will leave first and visit you tomorrow."

"When you come tomorrow, bring some peanuts. There's no snacks to go with the wine."

"No problem, just wait."

…………

After returning home, Zhou Chen played with the Xianfeng Baoquan Dang Wubai Carved Mother for a while. When he had seen enough, he put it into the system backpack.

Zhou Chen was not at ease no matter where he put these treasures. Only when he put them in the system backpack could he feel completely at ease.

Zhou Chen spent the Spring Festival at his second uncle's house. Not only him, but also his sister Zhou Yi brought Xiaoya with them.

Zhou Chen is doing quite well now, but Zhou Yi is not so lucky.

On the night of New Year's Eve, when the Sun family was having dinner together, Sun Dapeng's mother caught Zhou Yi and started to scold her. After scolding Zhou Yi, she started talking about Sun Xiaoya, saying that she had no manners or something.

When Zhou Yi was scolded, she could pretend not to hear it, but when her daughter was wronged, she could not bear it.

So, during the reunion dinner at the Sun family, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started fighting. After a big quarrel, Zhou Yi took her daughter and left the Sun family directly. Sun Dapeng delayed for a while and then left too.

After the quarrel, he naturally couldn't go back to the Sun family to celebrate the New Year, so he went to his second uncle's house with Zhou Chen to celebrate the New Year.

Zhou Chen had no good solution when faced with such a situation. If it was Sun Dapeng who bullied Zhou Yi, he, as a younger brother, could still teach Sun Dapeng a lesson.

But now she is Sun Dapeng's mother, Zhou Yi's mother-in-law, and it is really difficult for him, his younger brother, to say anything. The most he can do is talk to Sun Dapeng and give him some advice.

After the New Year, Zhou Chen began to prepare for school.

After attending so many universities, this is his first time at Peking University. Although he has been here many times, this is his first time to study here.

But Zhou Chen had been to college so many times that he had already gotten used to it. After school started, he quickly integrated into the environment.

However, the archaeology department he attended was really desolate, with only a handful of students.

But there are also advantages, which is that there is more freedom and fewer troubles, so you can live a relaxed and comfortable life.

…………

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, four years have passed.

It was 82 and Zhou Chen was about to graduate. He had no intention of continuing his postgraduate studies because he had basically learned everything that could be learned in school. What he wanted was no longer something that could be learned in school.

In fact, because of his outstanding performance while in school, the school's archaeological team, as well as outside archaeological teams, had invited him.

However, he rejected all these invitations, and the reason was very simple.

The reason he chose the archaeology department was not to go on archaeological trips around the country with archaeological teams, but to learn more about antiques.

If he joined the archaeological team, he would have a lot to do. More importantly, even if they found good things during the process, he would have no chance to get them. He could only see but not get them. Why bother? He did not have the great spirit of adventure and dedication like other archaeologists.

Zhou Chen was not worried at all about his graduation thesis. His professional knowledge ranked first in the class and he had very good relationships with teachers of various subjects. Graduation was a natural thing for him.
