Back at the old house of the Chen family, the family was chatting and laughing. As soon as Chen Xiaoyan entered the door, she ran towards Chen Feng and said excitedly: "Auntie, where is the card you brought for me?"

"Yes, I will go to the room with my aunt to bring it to you later."

"Brother, you came back with your aunt." Chen Xiaoyan asked another young man.

Li Mo was really surprised and surprised when he saw Chen Xiaoyan's eldest brother. This man in his twenties was none other than the Bajiquan master from the Qin Family Courtyard in Kyoto, a retired military king.

"It's you!" Chen Xiaojun was quite surprised to see Li Mo appear here. After going around a long way, he found that he was still one of his own, his junior uncle.

Li Mo smiled softly and said: "I have always wanted to find an opportunity to compete with you. It seems that God has given us a chance."

Chen Xiaojun cupped his fists and said, "Pick a time."

As soon as they met, a fighting spirit arose between the two.

"Xiao Mo, you and Xiao Jun have known each other for a long time?" Li Zhongsheng asked curiously when he saw Li Mo carrying something in.

"Met twice."

Li Mo sat on a chair, holding the packaged vase in his arms, protecting it with one hand intentionally or unintentionally.

"Whatever you bought, do you want to put it back in the house first?"

"Uncle, my junior uncle bought a vase from Folk Custom Street, saying he would use it for flower arrangements at home. The owner of that shop has a shady mind, and he sold a vase for nine hundred yuan."

Chen Gaofeng's face changed slightly and he said: "You are not with my junior uncle, why are you letting him be deceived?"

"Uncle Junior likes it, what can I do?"

Chen Xiaoyan pursed her lips, looking aggrieved.

"Gaofeng, you really can't blame Yanzi for this." Li Zhongsheng probably also understood his son's work style. It was impossible for him to run here to buy a porcelain vase. Considering what he had done before, the vase in his hand should not be simple.

Chen Feng was even more responsive. Since she went to Kyoto, the more she learned about Li Mo, the more she admired him.

"Junior brother, isn't this vase ordinary?"

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Li Mo took out the vase from the packaging box and placed it on the table. In the eyes of everyone, it was a reddish bottle, and the red color was not correct enough.

Chen Xiaoyan stretched out her hand to take it, but was slapped back by Chen Feng next to her. She whispered: "Don't touch it."

"Auntie, you hurt me, I'm just a vase." Chen Xiaoyan muttered a few times and walked away unhappily.

"Xiao Mo, we don't understand, so just tell us."

Shiyi hugged Xiaoyan and glared at her son reproachfully.

"This is the red plum vase from the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty."

"You have never been exposed to this kind of thing, so it sounds a bit confusing. Let me give you a rough outline. The surface glaze of this plum vase is a typical red color. If you shine it against the sun, there will be a layer of crisp light on the red surface."

"It is a rare variety in red glaze that inherits the ruby ​​red from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty and the Langyao red from the Kangxi period."

Li Mo gestured with the bottle again with both hands.

"Besides, the shape of this plum vase is very good, with smooth and graceful lines. The upper part of the line is called the beauty's shoulder."

"Look at the inscription at the bottom of the plum vase. It says the Yongzheng year of the Qing Dynasty. This is the standard Guange style. Guange style is a common font for examination rooms that was formed during the imperial examinations in the feudal era. These six-character questions

The style is delicate and elegant.”

Li Mo carefully placed the Jihongmei vase on the table and concluded: "The glaze is beautiful, the shape is beautiful, and the style is beautiful. This is the official kiln porcelain of the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty."

"Uncle, what you said is so impressive." Chen Xiaoyan was like listening to a book from heaven. Although she didn't understand it very well, she sounded very emotional.

Li Mo smiled and added: "I once saw a similar introduction to this style of red plum vase in a porcelain information book. The same one is collected in a museum in the old America. Regardless of the shape of the vessel,

The size and color are very similar.”

Chen Feng is now the general manager of Millennium Collection Company, so she naturally pays attention to the market situation of this plum vase.

"Junior brother, how much is this Ji Hongmei vase worth?"

"Currently, there are not many plum vases of this style at auction, and the market price is at least 1.3 million yuan. Senior sister, take this plum vase with you when you return to Kyoto, and put it in the bank vault first. It will not be used for the time being.

At auction."

"Okay, Mr. Niu's autumn auction has enough antiques. Let's collect all the good stuff first."

Li Mo repackaged the Ji Hongmei bottle and handed it to Chen Feng to put it away properly.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, especially several members of the Chen family who looked at each other and were frightened by the value of this vase.

"Uncle, please have some tea."

Chen Xiaoyan poured a cup of hot tea for Li Mo, her eyes filled with little stars.

"When I was buying a vase today, Yanzi also played a big role and cut the other person's bid in half. Later, my uncle will give you a big red envelope alone, which will be your pocket money from now on, but you can't spend it lavishly, you know?"

?”

When he said this, the Chen family knew that the red envelope was definitely not worth a few thousand dollars.

"Junior brother, don't spoil her, she's still a little brat."

"Dad, I'm about to enter the second grade of junior high school. Several male classmates in the class have a crush on me." Everyone in the hall laughed, and Shiyi gently rubbed her head. She liked this child very much.

"Just focus on studying."

Chen Gaofeng had a tigerish expression on his face, then looked at Li Zhongsheng and said, "Uncle Master, the juniors of the Chen family who practice boxing will all attend the banquet today, and they will all come to see you then."

"How many people are there? I'm going to order some red envelopes."

"There are about fifty or so, Uncle Master. The red envelopes follow our custom. One hundred for each red envelope is enough."

"Dad, I've prepared the red envelope. Just go to the box and pick it up later."

At this time, Chen Feng came back after putting down the plum vase, glanced at Chen Xiaojun and said, "Be careful and keep an eye on it."

"Yes." Chen Xiaojun nodded without saying much.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the juniors of the Chen family who practiced boxing all came to pay homage to Li Zhongsheng one by one. Although he was only in his forties, he was senior and was a direct disciple of the ancestor of the Chen family. Therefore, some of the people who visited were in their fifties and sixties.

Everyone, Li Zhongsheng gave everyone a red envelope, which felt quite thick.

"Brother, should we go up and salute too? Look at the red envelopes in my uncle's hand. Each one should contain two or three thousand, which is more than my annual pocket money."

Chen Xiaoyan was very excited, but Chen Xiaofeng was very confused about whether to take the red envelope or not.

Fortunately, at the end, Li Zhongsheng not only gave each of the Chen brothers and sisters a red envelope, but also Chen Gaofeng and Chen Feng received red envelopes.

"Just take it for a moment and take it all."

"Thank you, uncle, uncle, you are so handsome." Chen Xiaoyan's face turned red with excitement as she held the red envelope. She no longer has to worry about pocket money this year.

"You kid, no matter how big or small, give the red envelope to your mother to keep. If you keep so much money, you will spend it indiscriminately."

Chen Gaofeng's eyes widened, and Yanzi immediately made a face and ran out.

"Haha, the little swallow is so lively and cute."

"This child is very sensible. Whenever she takes a break, she will find a way to earn pocket money. She usually doesn't spend much of what we give her and saves it herself. I heard from her mother that the numbers in her card are all five.

digits."

Li Mo couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Why do I feel that Yanzi is a little money addict."

Everyone in the room laughed and felt very happy.

But not long after, Chen Xiaoyan ran in in a panic, out of breath. She pointed outside and said intermittently: "Uncle, those gangsters from Langjiagou are coming this way. They are shouting as they walk.

It's unfilial to follow you."

Li Zhongsheng stood up suddenly, clenching his fists and looking livid with anger.
