Jin Han looked at Chen Wei and said in surprise: "Why do you have this?"
"What's wrong? Do you know this?"
"Of course I know it. The jade hollow dragon cup is an heirloom of our family. Where did you get this photo?"
Chen Wei didn't want to hide it from Jin Han, so he told Jin Han the truth.
After hearing what Chen Wei said, Jin Han didn't say anything for a long time. After a while, he said, "How shameless! You actually use this trick to deceive people and say that other people's things belong to your own!"
"Whose family does this dragon-marked cup belong to? Why do you and Chai Ping have different opinions? Also, what is so magical about this dragon-marked cup?"
"I'll take you to a place, and you'll know what's going on?" Jin Han was usually a pleasant-looking person, but now he became so serious.
They came out of Jin Han's company and drove to an ancient town in Jiangzhou together.
Chen Wei has been to this ancient town before. During the Republic of China, many important figures came out of this ancient town.
Chen Wei spent more than 100 on the ticket at that time, but he did not expect that there is another way to enter the ancient town, and there is no need to pay for the ticket at all.
There are still residents living in the ancient town. Jin Han's car drove directly into the ancient town.
"Next time I evade fares, I'll follow you."
Jin Han glanced at Chen Wei. Would a person of Chen Wei's level still care about the ticket price? He knew that Chen Wei was joking, but at this moment, Jin Han couldn't laugh at all.
Jin Han pointed to an ancient building not far ahead and said to Chen Wei: "That's our old house there. Let me take you to see it!"
Chen Wei knew that Jin Han was from Jiangzhou, but he did not expect that Jin Han was from Jiangzhou Ancient Town.
Chen Wei followed Jin Han into the old house. There are still people living in the Jin family. Jin Han said hello to the family as he walked.
When I arrived at the inner house, I walked back and saw two people sitting outside a door drinking tea and chatting. When I saw Jin Han coming, I quickly stood up.
"Boss, you're here."
Jin Han nodded towards them and asked them to open the door.
Jin Han looked back at Chen Wei and said, "Do you know where this place is?"
Chen Wei looked up and saw that he didn't recognize the traditional Chinese characters written on the door plaque at all, so he shook his head.
"This is our Jin family's treasure house, let's go in and have a look!"
When Chen Wei heard that it was a treasure house, he thought
There should be a lot of treasures inside!
When he arrived inside, Chen Wei was disappointed that except for a few paintings hanging on the wall, many places in the room were empty. Most of the few collections that had been collected for several years were unknown to Chen Wei.
"In my great-grandfather's father's generation, this building was full of people. At that time, the dragon-patterned cups were placed in this place. You see, the traces of neglect are still there. There are six dragon-patterned cups in total!"
Chen Wei came over and took a look. It must have been left here for a long time, and there were traces on it. Moreover, the traces below should be the same size as the base of the dragon pattern cup he got.
"Where is the dragon pattern cup?"
"They were all robbed by those bandits from the Chai family."
"All six dragon-marked cups were taken away by the Chai family?" Chen Wei didn't say robbery. After all, this matter was just a family dispute. What is the grievance between the two families like? Chen Wei really doesn't know very well.
I don't want to care about it either.
Chen Wei wants to know now, what is going on with this dragon pattern cup? Chai Yu and Chai Ping are both competing for the dragon pattern cup. What is the mystery behind it?
Jin Han rolled his eyes at Chen Wei, obviously not very satisfied with Chen Wei's choice of words. Then he thought about it, the two families are relatives after all, so he didn't care.
"I'll show you something and you'll know." Jin Han said, leading Chen Wei to the inner room.
He took out a box from the cabinet, opened the box, and took out a yellow book.
In fact, the book should not be yellow, but it has become yellow due to its age.
Jin Han opened the book carefully, but he didn't expect it to be a rubbing.
Rubbings, any copy of rubbings of stone tablets, stone tablets, or seals, are called "rubbings", that is, paper is used to cover the text or patterns on stone tablets, stone tablets, or other objects, and the words and graphics are printed in ink or other colors.
According to the use of ink, it can be divided into ink rubbings and Zhu rubbings. According to the rubbing method, it can be divided into Wujin rubbings and cicada-wing rubbings. Physical rubbings were first seen in the Tang Dynasty.
Chen Wei had dabbled in it during his extracurricular reading before, so he was relatively clear about it.
Chen Wei didn't recognize most of the words on it, but Chen Wei was very familiar with the painting on it. It was the dragon-patterned cup he auctioned at his auction.
In the picture, there are indeed nine.
"Can I take a photo?" Chen Wei asked.
"Of course!" Jin Han cooperated very much and opened the pages night after night for Chen Wei to take pictures.
Anyway, their dragon-pattern cup had been snatched away by the Chai family a long time ago, leaving only this rubbing. Jin Han couldn't understand it and didn't bother to read it.
After all, Chen Wei still has a dragon-marked cup in his hand, so he wants to find out what is going on with this dragon-marked cup?
After taking the photos, he planned to find some experts to take a look and see what they might gain.
"On the rubbings, there are nine dragon-patterned cups. Why do you only have six in your family?"
"No need to ask. Didn't you find two of them in the cave? There should be another one living among the people."
Chen Wei smiled and said: "Yes!"
Chen Wei asked just now. In fact, he is a little unsure about what Jin Han said. If this dragon pattern cup belongs to the Jin family, then it should be a complete collection, unless the origin is not what Jin Han said.
Things passed down from ancestors may not really belong to them.
Now doesn’t the Chai family say that the Dragon Pattern Cup is their ancestral possession?
Of the nine dragon-patterned cups, the Chai family got seven, and Chen Wei still has one in his hand, which means that one is lost among the people, or it may have been destroyed long ago.
The more secretive the Chai family becomes, the more Chen Wei wants to know the secret hidden behind the dragon pattern cup.
If Jin Han is telling the truth, then the Chai family is eager to collect nine dragon-marked cups. It is possible that their family already has eight dragon-marked cups.
Of course, this is just speculation.
Chen Wei put away his cell phone and continued to visit with Jin Han. When Jin Han talked about their family's treasure house, he became angrily and said that most of the collection had been taken away by Chai Shizhong, the ancestor of the Chai family.
By Jin Han's generation, the treasure building could only be used to accumulate debris.
It is said that wealth cannot last more than three generations, but in Jin Han's memory, neither his father nor his grandfather were very rich.
For them, being rich is just something they can recall.
Fortunately, although the Jin family has declined, some old books have been handed down, including a catalog of the treasure house.
It is precisely because of this catalog that Jin Han, who has become prosperous in these years, reorganized the treasure house and searched among the people, hoping to find all the collections in the catalog.
Now, what Chen Wei saw was what Jin Han had found over the years and bought it back at a high price.
Despite this, there are still many things that have been robbed by the Chai family and cannot be bought back.
The Jin family's hatred towards the Chai family was not only due to the humiliation they suffered back then, but also because of the stolen collections.
Jin Han always wanted to get back everything that belonged to the Jin family, but unfortunately, the Chai family was too powerful.
