With the improvement of his abilities, before the things were laid out on the ground, Xu You had already seen colorful halos from the box.

It can be seen that the ancestors of the Yue family were indeed rich and tasteful, at least for now, these things are good items that can be sold at a high price.

Because of the distance, Xu Er couldn't look carefully at the things inside. After all, the separation of the family is a family matter, and the final decision can only be made by Chen Fu's wife. Xu Er, an outsider, is not qualified to step forward. Even Chen Fu had no right to speak.

Thus, the current situation occurred. Xu Wei and Chen Fu leaned together behind, pointing at the things on the ground, and whispering something, while Chen Fu's daughter-in-law, Yue Xiaomei, stood alone in front and put all the objects into the ground. Read them all.

Yue Xiaomei has followed her husband for the past two years, so she knows more or less about antiques.

For example, she knew that the price of ordinary porcelain, calligraphy and painting was higher than other things.Therefore, Yue Xiaomei focused on picking up several pieces of porcelain one by one. It seemed that she was looking at them carefully, but in fact, she was letting Xu Wei and Chen Fu look at the objects.

"How about the porcelain? I think the Chenghua Doucai is pretty good." Chen Fu leaned against Xu You's ear, asking for advice in a low voice.

"Ah, it's really good, but according to my experience, it should be a high imitation in the late Qing Dynasty." Xu Wei's biggest eye punch in his life came from a Chenghua Doucai. Since then, Xu Wei has spent a lot of money I have spent time studying this series of porcelain, so when I look at it from a distance, let alone the gray and dim halo on it, the color on it alone is a little impure, very dim, not at all gorgeous and stunning.

As soon as Chen Fu heard it, he knew that Xu Wei didn't like such things, so he quickly gestured to his wife.

Yue Xiaomei also often went to Dongtai Road to help Chen Fu watch the stalls, so she calmly put down the things in her hands and went to something else.

I have to say that Chen Fu and Yue Xiaomei cooperate very well, they can easily understand each other's meaning, and there is a tacit understanding between husband and wife that ordinary people say.

However, although Yue Xiaomei knew a little about antiques, she looked like a half-baked item at first glance. It seemed that they were all objects that looked good but were not very valuable in the world.

Xu Er saw that this was subconsciously ignored by Yue Xiaomei, but in fact, the objects with the brightest halo were very helpless, and she wished she could go up and pick out those objects by herself.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and when everyone's patience was about to wear off, Yue Xiaomei finally picked up an object that Xu Wei could fancy.

It was a large vase of famille rose gilt-painted hibiscus flowers, which was the beginning of Qianlong's famille rose masterpiece.

Based on the fact that the Yue family was the comprador of Thirteen Foreign Firms before, and what the compradors at that time often did was resell national treasures abroad in exchange for money for their own spending.

Xu You had reason to speculate that this big vase of hibiscus flowers in pastel enamel blue and gold may have nine layers, and it was hidden by the ancestors of the Yue family themselves.

This large vase of pastel blue and golden hibiscus flowers was originally in the Old Summer Palace. It was lost when the Eight-Power Allied Forces burned the Old Summer Palace. It was originally a pair. Now Xu Wei only sees one here. Although it is a pity, it is also true. This line.

From the perspective of history and cultural relic value, a pair is naturally the best, but in terms of price alone, the price of the unique pastel blue and gold hibiscus flower vase is obviously higher than that of a pair.

Especially if there is more hype, the price is likely to increase several times.

In an international auction house, it once appeared that a rich man spent a lot of money to buy a rare antique, and after he got it, he destroyed it in public, and then took out another same antique that he carried with him, and announced it to the public. , the second antique object, from today onwards, has officially become an orphan.

And the value of that orphan product doubled five times in an instant.

This kind of person is actually very despised by professionals. He will be a rich man who can collect antiques all his life, and he will never be able to enter a higher-level circle. However, this does not prevent people from making money in this way.

In the Kyoto Museum, there is an enamel ware similar to this large vase of hibiscus flowers in pastel blue and gold, which belongs to the quasi-national treasure level.

Xu You reckoned that if this big vase of hibiscus flowers in pastel enamel blue and gold was put up for auction, it would fetch more than 1000 million yuan.In another ten years or so, it may not be able to reach 5000 million.

Xu You nodded to Chen Fu veiledly, this should be the most expensive item among all the items, it was enough for Chen Fu to buy a shop and open a shop on Dongtai Road.

Finally, Chen Fu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and made a subtle gesture to his wife, then stood quietly aside, clenched his fists to cover up his excitement.

Chen Fu still knew a little about Xu Er's background.

Let’s not talk about the Yuan blue and white in his hand, just talk about the "Thousand-Character Essay" in Song Huizong's thin gold body in his hand, which is a rare treasure, let alone the legendary fairy-like artifact The agarwood gloomy wood orb.

Moreover, Xu Wei has always been very low-key, if he hadn't been on Dongtai Road for several years, he would not have known that there was such a person.

If Chen Fu saw that bottle by himself, he would not dare to choose it. After all, this thing is too beautiful. As the saying goes, it is better to buy a fake than to buy a fake.

Seeing her husband gesturing to her, Yue Xiaomei put the bottle out of her hand without expression, expressing that she chose this one.

The onlookers finally came to their senses, and when they saw what Yue Xiaomei had chosen, they nodded in understanding.

This bottle is very beautiful and looks good. If I change myself, I will naturally choose this bottle.

After finally choosing something, Yue Xiaomei, who was standing in the middle of the yard, was also relieved.

Although her man told her about his plan to open a store, Yue Xiaomei never thought that her family had such good things.

At the beginning, it seems that the speed behind has become much faster.

Yue Xiaomei lifted up the things around her one by one, Xu Wei told Chen Fu in a low voice, while Chen Fu gestured vaguely, and picked out another one after a while.

It was a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, which would have been very popular in the old days, but in today's society, except for a small number of people, no one is using it anymore.Not only is it impractical, but it also looks a bit shabby, which is really unattractive.

Yue Xiaomei didn't look at her husband's opinion in choosing this set of things, but made her own decision.

She wanted to keep this set of things for her son, which was agreed upon when Yue Xiaomei's father was still alive.

Chen Fu also knew about this, so naturally he would not object.

Now, two things have been selected, and one is still missing. This time, there is no such thing as Chen Fu and his wife.

In fact, after choosing the large vase of hibiscus flowers in pastel enamel blue and gold, Chen Fu had enough money to open the shop, and he would earn money if he chose anything afterwards.

Therefore, Xu Er also relaxed her mind, and as Yue Xiaomei picked up the objects on the ground one by one, and put them down again, her mind became extremely relaxed.

In the end, Xu Wei helped to choose a fan that looked very inconspicuous, but the actual price was very high.

Naturally, what is valuable is not the fan itself but the surface of the fan.

The front of this fan is Hehe Erxian, and the back is a calligraphy.Whether it is painting or calligraphy, its authors are very famous painters and calligraphers in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, Wang Zhen and Tan Yankai.

Although it is said nowadays that almost no one knows who these two people are, the older generation who are still alive are all like thunder.

Take this fan out as a gift, especially for the elderly, it should be very popular.

At least Xu Wei knew that if he gave this fan to his teacher Mr. Guo, Mr. Guo would like it very much.

Wang Zhen, courtesy name Yiting, was born in Bailongshan, Zhejiang Province, and lived in Shanghai.He is good at calligraphy, painting, flowers, fruits, birds, animals, figures, and Buddha statues. He is a famous painter in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

Tan Yankai was born in Chaling, Hunan.In the 30th year of Guangxu, he was a Jinshi and was awarded the editorship of the Imperial Academy.After the Revolution of [-], he served as Governor of Hunan Province, Chairman of the Central Political Committee of the Kuomintang, Chairman of the National Government, and President of the Executive Yuan.Gongshu, Bowenbangshu, and petty lowercase script are all exquisite.

According to the instructions, Yue Xiaomei chose the third item, then took the item and left the center of the yard. The next thing is about her two brothers.

Chen Fu suppressed the excitement of wanting to kiss his wife, and held the large vase of pastel blue and gold hibiscus flowers tightly in his hands.

In his view, what he holds in his hand is not the bottle, but the rest of his life, the future of his wife and children.

Xu You looked at the excited Chen Fu hesitantly, not knowing if he should tell him, but in fact, there was another thing in the yard, which was better than the one in his hand.

But what Chen Fu wants is a shop that can shelter from the wind and rain, and a stable future, it has nothing to do with whether the item is the most valuable or not.Thinking of this, Xu You gave up the idea of ​​telling the other party.

But as far as he is concerned, he is determined to obtain those two things.

Come here, you can't go back empty-handed.

However, when it was the turn of the two brothers to divide the family property, Xu Wei was dumbfounded.

I have also experienced such things as family separation. At that time, I was very honest, and I took what the family gave me.Before leaving, Liu Yunhua was asked to use various reasons to exploit more than half of it, leaving only about [-] yuan for herself. It's nice to have a ticket.

But looking at other people now, you have to earn money for everything, and you must make sure that you don't suffer.

Thinking about it now, Xu You was really honest when he said that he was himself back then. If he hadn't had a pair of special eyes, he thought that after coming to Shanghai, he would be a part-time worker for the rest of his life. How could he live a leisurely life like he is now.

The separation of the two brothers of the Yue family lasted until after eight o'clock in the evening. At this time, all the other spectators left. Except for a few witnesses and a few elders in the village, no one stayed there at all.

Xu Wei left when the two were arguing, and walked around the village with Zhao Shun.

When they walked outside an adobe house with an open door, they met two brothers Zhao Dabao and Xu Shengli who was carrying a shoulder bag.

"Brother Zhao, are you here to watch?" Zhao Shun leaned over the two of them as soon as he saw them.

"Brother Shunzi, we are just here too. How about it? Do you want to go in together?" Although Zhao Dabao said so, he moved his body and blocked the door of the house. It means to go in.

"We won't go in. There are so many families, let's look at them separately. I heard that these rural people are very shrewd now. They know that we are going to come down to collect things. When there are too many people, they will drive up the price and let us I won’t be fooled by my own people’s rebellion.” Zhao Shun spoke for the sake of the other party, as if he really regarded Zhao Dabao as a brother.

The corners of Zhao Dabao's mouth twitched a few times, and he managed to pull out a smiling face, "Yes, you are so right, this group of people is getting weirder and weirder now."

"So, let's go to the house next door. Have you been to that house? How is it? Are there any good things?" Zhao Shun pointed to another house that looked a little better, and asked.

Zhao Dabao felt relieved, "I've gone, there are a few things in that store, but they are too expensive, and the price has not been negotiated. You are rich people, you can try it."

"That's it, let's go to that house, let's go." Zhao Shun patted Zhao Dabao's back, then turned to look for Xu Wei.

Xu Er watched Zhao Shun's performance just now, and was enjoying it, but he didn't expect it to end like this.

"Brother Shunzi, is this over?" Xu Wei asked curiously.

Zhao Shun rolled his eyes, "Of course it's over, let's go, go to the one I mentioned just now, there must be something to see there."

Although Zhao Shun didn't know whether the products in that store were good or not, it didn't prevent him from knowing that just now Zhao Dabao and his party suffered a loss there.

Xu You followed Zhao Shun into the house where he asked Zhao Dabao just now, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw two beautiful screens that hadn't been put away yet.

It's just that the two screens don't seem to be made of wood, but look like other materials.

What material?

Xu You couldn't remember for a while.
