"Shut up, you are embarrassed and your status is down." Hong Qing blushed and retorted, saying that Xue Chen was embarrassed and downgraded, so he is not as good as Xue Chen. Wouldn't it be more embarrassing and downgraded?
Hong Qing heard that Xue Chen's accent was not local, and Xue Chen got along well with him when talking. He subconsciously regarded Xue Chen as a friend who could talk. Now when he saw someone laughing at Xue Chen, he couldn't help but stand up.
.
"Hey, what I said is wrong? I don't have a collection worth more than one million, so how can I say that I am a collector? Let me tell you what it means to be a collector. Have you ever heard of Wang Yeting? He and Wang Qi are both the Eight Friends of Zhushan
, I have one of his porcelain paintings, and this one is worth millions, more than a dozen or twenty of yours. This is called collecting." The man squinted his eyes and said proudly.
Xue Chen glanced at this person coldly and shook his head, thinking that he would meet such a self-righteous guy wherever he went. If nothing else, he would define collecting as only for rich people. He had seen too many
There are not many people who have no money but are collecting. Hundreds of collections are only worth 100,000 or 80,000. But these people also enjoy it and are content. Isn't this just collecting?
But he was too lazy to be knowledgeable about this man, and any more words to him would be a waste of words.
But Hong Qing didn't have Xue Chen's calmness. He argued with a red neck and said: "Nonsense, you have more money and you have ways to make more money. We don't have money, but we can still collect the things we like. It doesn't matter how much money we have."
!”
The man had heard Hong Qing introduce Xue Chen as an apprentice of Ziyun Tower before. Now he saw that a young apprentice dared to talk to him like this, and he was a little angry. He, Qi Xiaofeng, was also a well-known Mo in Liuli Street.
How could a young apprentice of Xiang Pavilion's young master be able to contradict him?
At this moment, the guests present were admiring the twelve treasures presented by Gude Zhai, so the hall was very quiet. However, Hong Qing’s voice was not suppressed and was too intense, which made it appear particularly abrupt. Some guests
He looked over displeased.
Gu Dezhou, the shopkeeper of Gudezhai, also looked over and asked calmly: "Do you need any help?"
Xue Chen and Hong Qing didn't say anything, but Qi Xiaofeng, who was sitting in the front row of the two, narrowed his eyes and said loudly: "Shopkeeper Gu, nothing happened. I just had a little dispute with these two little brothers."
Zhuge Yi then noticed that Xue Chen was sitting in the last row and was slightly stunned. In his opinion, it was okay for Xue Chen to sit in the second row. After all, he had an extraordinary level of appraisal and seemed to have extraordinary abilities.
He was a little surprised when he saw Xue Chen arguing with others.
"This little brother, he only has a collection of thirteen or four pieces, the total value of which is only three to four hundred thousand yuan, and he actually said that he is also a collector, haha." Qi Xiaofeng snorted.
A dozen collections? Worth only three or four hundred thousand? The other guests raised their eyebrows when they heard this, because they thought this was too shabby. Picking out a collection at least worth millions
ah.
Seeing so many people looking at him with playful eyes, Hong Qing felt a little depressed, and Xue Chen also turned cold. He felt that Qi Xiaofeng had really done enough and was really pushing the envelope!
At this time, someone suddenly screamed, and at the same time, a guest sitting in the first row opposite stood up and looked at Xue Chen suspiciously: "I have seen you!"
"Have you seen me?"
He has obviously never seen this person before.
Hong Qingfu whispered: "This is Boss Yan from the Zhuangyuan Building of the restaurant on Liuli Street."
The owner of Zhuangyuanlou Restaurant glanced at Xue Chen: "I have indeed seen you, oh, I remember, a few months ago, I went to Sunan City, Yunzhou to visit old friends. At that time, I heard about a
The newly opened antique store was displaying Xuande furnaces, so I went to take a look and found that you seemed to be the owner of that antique store. I wanted to exchange a few words with you, but there were too many people at the time, so I gave up."
Hong Qing looked at Xue Chen unexpectedly and said nonchalantly: "Xue Chen, are you the owner of an antique shop?"
"Sure enough, it's you. I didn't expect to meet you here." The owner of Zhuangyuanlou Restaurant became slightly excited, and then introduced to the people around him, "You may not recognize this little friend, but this little friend
My friend is amazing. I wonder if you have heard that someone in Yunzhou Province has a real Xuande furnace built under the supervision of Emperor Xuande. It was this friend's collection. When it was on display, it attracted a lot of people.
Let’s visit.”
"The Xuande Furnace was built under the supervision of Emperor Xuande? I vaguely heard that one appeared in Yunzhou, but I always thought it was a rumor, but it turned out to be true?!"
"No way. According to the literature, there were only 4,000 Xuande furnaces built under the supervision of Emperor Xuande at that time. Hundreds of years have passed, and some of them have long been lost, and some are still buried in large tombs underground. As far as I know
You know, there are not more than five genuine Xuande stoves in the country."
"Since Boss Yan has seen it in person, there should be no mistake. It turns out that the Xuande furnace belongs to him."
For a moment, all eyes were focused on the face of Xue Chen, who was sitting in the last row, full of surprise and surprise.
The four people sitting in the first row also shuddered slightly and looked at Xue Chen. After all, the authentic Xuande furnace is too rare and rare!
Zhuge Yi also had to look at Xue Chen in a new light again.
Because the real Xuande furnace is so rare, and there are almost no records of transactions, even if the people present are in the antique circle, a considerable number of them have a deep understanding of the real Xuande furnace.
So someone asked: "What is the difference between the Xuande furnace built under the supervision of Emperor Xuande and the ordinary Xuande furnace?"
A well-informed person replied: "The difference is huge. One is a genuine product and the other is a fake. However, because the genuine product is so rare, the value of the fine products among the fakes can reach tens of millions."
"The price of genuine products..."
"Oh, don't even think about it if you don't have half a billion. After all, it is a national treasure and it can occupy a prominent position in the National Museum."
"Gudu."
Some people couldn't help but swallow their saliva after hearing the price. On the two Eight Immortals tables were placed twelve exquisite collections from Gude Zhai, which together only exceeded 100 million. In other words, a genuine Xuande stove can be exchanged for five pieces on the table.
Six pieces! And every piece on the table is an extremely rare treasure.
People have to compare with each other, and goods have to be thrown away. The good treasure that was still amazing in everyone's eyes just now immediately feels mediocre, and it doesn't have the amazing feeling just now.
The most violent reaction was the two people sitting in front of and to the left of Xue Chen. Qi Xiaofeng, who had just laughed at Xue Chen's collection of garbage, froze as if he had seen a ghost.
He couldn't even think about half a billion worth of antiques. Let alone collect one, he wouldn't even have the chance to touch it. There was one in the National Museum, but he couldn't touch it through bulletproof glass!
After another bleak glance at Xue Chen, Qi Xiaofeng immediately turned around and lowered his head, becoming mute, deaf, and blind, as if nothing had happened.
And Hong Qing was also in a sluggish state, looking like he was looking at an alien? What were they talking about? They were talking and laughing with him just now. He was no more than two years older than him. The boy who just came to join in the fun turned into a super big man in the blink of an eye.
The collector, who has a collection worth fifty million pieces, is he dreaming or hallucinating?
"Ha, I didn't expect that our Gu De Zhai would welcome a big collector from afar today. Welcome, little friend, please sit here." Gu Dezhou, the shopkeeper of Gu De Zhai who was also stunned just now, replied.
When he woke up, he immediately ordered the waiter with a smile to fill a chair in the second row and asked Xue Chen to sit there.
Such an awesome collector is qualified to sit in the second row. None of the collectors in the second row can produce a collection worth 50 million.
Hearing that Gu Dezhou invited Xue Chen to sit in the second row, Hong Qing suddenly felt a little disappointed. He also realized in his heart that he had misunderstood the other person. The other person was not at the same level as him at all, and he was about to sit in the second row.
, I couldn't help but feel a little blocked in my heart.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Gu, for your kindness, but no need, I'm fine sitting here, no need to bother." Xue Chen said with a smile.
Gu Dezhou didn't force it, he nodded and said hello.
Some people still can't help but look at Xue Chen frequently. Since Xue Chen can collect a genuine Xuande furnace, he must have more than one collection. There must be other good things. They all want to chat with Xue Chen.
, asked curiously.
At this time, a person asked the question that everyone wanted to know. It was Yu Deshui, whose ancestor was a former noble of the Qing Dynasty and now serves as the vice president of the Capital Antiques Association.
Yu Deshui asked with a smile: "It turns out that I am a kid from Yunzhou Province. Welcome. I have such a treasure as a Xuande furnace in my collection. It really surprises me. I only saw it once when I was a child. I want to come here."
My friend is also a big collector. I wonder if you can tell me about your other commendable collections, so that we can also open our eyes and see the skills of our Yunzhou colleagues."
Xue Chen hesitated for a moment, but before he could say anything, Zhuge Yi spoke first: "President Yu, this is not appropriate. If Xue Chen doesn't want to say it, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?"
Yu Deshui nodded and said with a smile: "Well, I didn't think it through, but I'm really curious. Xiaoyou Xue has such an extraordinary collection at such a young age. Okay, let me change the question. Xiaoyou Xue must have a lot of collections.
What a treasure, how does the total value compare with the twelve pieces of Gudezhai’s collection on this table?”
Xue Chen's eyes flashed, and his tone paused slightly: "This... is naturally not as good as this."
He lied, because he had no plans to sell his current collection, so he had not estimated the specific total value, but it must be much more than these twelve antiques.
There is nothing he can do about lying. Today is the 20th anniversary celebration of Gudzhai. He will bring out the treasured treasures to open the eyes of the guests and highlight the heritage of Gudzhai. If he tells the truth, wouldn't it make Gudzhai look bad?
, those who didn’t know thought they were here to cause trouble!
So, he had no choice but to say this.
Most of the guests believed it
But some people present could guess some different flavors from Xue Chen's slightly paused tone. (To be continued)
