Chapter 677 Incomplete
The address Professor Chen sent Chen Jing was not in the center of Kyoto, but the location was not particularly remote. The reason why it took so long to get there was mainly because the roads in Kyoto were really congested.
Chen Jing gently woke up Kong Xue.
"Hmm~" Kong Xue rubbed her eyes and asked subconsciously: "Are you here, hubby?"
"Well, get off the car."
Immediately, the young couple got out of the car and saw a residential area next to them. The houses here were very distinctive. They were not high-rise buildings, but some ancient courtyard-style buildings similar to courtyard houses.
Of course, these courtyard houses were only built later and are not the old courtyard houses in excellent locations in Kyoto.
The price difference is also huge.
But this is Kyoto after all, and the price of these ancient gardens in front of the young couple is definitely not cheap, at least it is something that most people would not dare to dream of in their lifetime.
"These houses are quite unique." Kong Xue said with a smile as the two walked inside.
Chen Jing responded: "It's not bad. If you like it, we can buy similar ones in the future."
Kong Xue chuckled softly when she heard this: "You, do you want to buy anything as long as I say you like it?"
Chen Jing responded: "Of course."
The young couple walked into the residential area chatting and laughing. They were stopped by security when they entered. Chen Jing called his master and entered smoothly.
Soon after.
At the entrance of a well-decorated courtyard, a middle-aged woman was waiting here. Seeing Chen Jing and Kong Xue, she quickly came over and asked, "Are they Mr. Chen and Ms. Kong?"
Chen Jingcheng nodded and responded: "Yes, yes."
"Hello, Mr. Jiang and Professor Chen are waiting for you." The woman said with a smile and respect.
Then, led by the middle-aged woman, the young couple quickly walked into this seemingly valuable courtyard.
From this courtyard, we can see that the great collector mentioned by Professor Chen is definitely not a simple person.
"Here it comes, come here quickly."
In a room in the courtyard that was obviously a study, Professor Chen and an old man of about the same age were sitting opposite each other, playing Go. When they saw Chen Jing and Kong Xue, they smiled and raised their hands to say hello.
"This is Jiang Cheng, Mr. Jiang, your name is Mr. Jiang." Professor Chen introduced the old man first.
Sir, this title is mostly used for politeness in modern times, but in the past, not everyone could be called sir.
Professor Chen now asked the young couple to call Jiang Cheng Mr. Jiang, which was obviously not polite or polite.
"Mr. Jiang." Chen Jing and Kong Xue shouted in tacit understanding.
Jiang Cheng had a kind smile on his face, like an old man next door. He nodded to the two of them and said, "You guys are fine too."
After a pause, he looked emphatically at Chen Jing, and then said: "Mr. Chen is really a talented person, and he is very promising at a young age. He is now the number one person among the younger generation in the antique business. It is amazing, Professor Chen."
You have gained a good apprentice."
Professor Chen smiled and said: "Mr. Jiang, he is still young, so we can't praise him too much." He said this, but his words were full of pride.
"My praise is not excessive. I am telling the truth. Even a retired old guy like me heard what Mr. Chen did yesterday. It is indeed extremely impressive." Jiang Cheng said again.
After the two old men said a few words on the topic of Chen Jing, Jiang Cheng remembered and asked the young couple to sit down. The middle-aged woman just now also brought some tea.
"Xiao Jing, I asked you to come here. In addition to meeting Mr. Jiang, you should be very interested in a collection in his hands." Professor Chen talked about business with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, Chen Jing also moved slightly in his heart and asked: "Master, you have made me too curious."
From just now, Professor Chen has been trying to keep things secret like an old naughty boy, which really made Chen Jing curious.
Although, he also had some vague guesses in his heart.
But we haven’t seen the real thing yet, so guessing is just guessing after all.
Professor Chen also had a smile on his face and didn't say anything. He just looked at Jiang Cheng.
When Jiang Cheng saw this, he took out a protective box from under the chessboard. This box was still slender. Protective boxes of this shape are usually used to store calligraphy and painting objects, or some particularly unpopular objects.
.
"Speaking of which, I already received this thing when I was young. I was still thinking about making money from it, but not many people were interested. Although it is actually quite old and the artistry is not low."
There was a trace of reminiscence in Jiang Cheng's eyes, and he added: "Occasionally, someone is interested, and the price is low, but in the end I get it. Later, I didn't lack money, so I just collected it myself."
As he spoke, Jiang Cheng opened the protective box and carefully pulled out a vertical scroll painting.
Chen Jing's eyes instantly fell on it.
Jiang Cheng's continued voice also came to my ears: "Mr. Jiang, do you know why not many people are interested in it?"
