In today's society, everywhere is full of material desires. Yes, more and more people become impetuous. In order to be careful, people usually like to use incense to achieve the effect of spiritual relaxation.

An ethereal and pleasant aroma not only brings warmth and peace, but also makes people feel carefree. Since ancient times, in China, from the court to the folk, there have been the customs of burning incense to clean the air, to play the piano, to paint or to sit in silence. In addition, the ancients also regarded burning incense as the top ten refined scholars.

As far as the origin of incense burning culture is concerned, it can be traced back to the spring and Autumn period. It is said that incense can ward off pestilence and exorcism. Therefore, incense must be burned in palaces, court halls and assembly halls. In the Han Dynasty, professional incense burners appeared. Not only literati and bureaucrats had incense burning traditions, but also ordinary people's families could burn incense to pursue elegance.

In the Song Dynasty, it was endowed with special significance and became the first of the "four arts" of the greatest interest of literati. There are many discussions on the interest of burning incense in ancient books, and there is a saying of "burning incense and timing".

As a fan of traditional culture, or even a pursuer, Zhou quantian has a deep love for incense burning. In his office alone, incense is constantly burning all year round. All kinds of spices can be called the best, and there are many kinds, so that the most special fragrance is formed in the office.

This kind of fragrance seems to be absent, but it is illusory. It seems to include all kinds of fragrance, and it seems that each kind of fragrance is very clear. People who enter here first pay attention to the illusory fragrance in the air rather than the whole day or office decoration.

Just like Lin Xi and Chun Chun, who are sitting opposite Zhou quantian, at that time, they were not in a hurry to exchange greetings with Zhou quantian. Instead, they gently twitched their nostrils to experience and indulge in the taste of the air, so as to relax their physical and mental fatigue.

At the same time, Zhou quantian, with a friendly smile, looked up at Lin Xi carefully, and lingered on Chunchun and aze. After half a minute, he said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for nearly half a year. Xiaoxi, you are all from your own family. Do you need to be so polite?"

In front of Zhou quantian, of course, Lin Xi is not formal. His politeness is just a habit. On the contrary, Chunchun and aze are not at ease. Obviously, in front of Zhou quantian, they are a little scared, even restless.

At the same time, Chunchun is still amazed. When Lin Xi used to work in a pawn shop, almost everyone knows that he came out from the countryside to work, and usually he didn't show his landscape. However, he didn't expect that he had such a relationship with the chairman of Dazhao group.

Maybe Dazhao group is not well-known in other places, and it can't be the best in China, but its reputation in Mingzhou has gone, and it can definitely be ranked in the top ten, or even higher.

that is to say, if Lin Xi had made use of this relationship early, why should he go to the pawn shop as a clerk? I'm afraid that he would not pay attention to the investment company, so how could Chunchun not be surprised Sigh!

"Uncle Zhou, the pawnbroker is still at work. I came out to find you when I had time, and my two friends were very worried, so I won't be polite to you. Take a look at this first, and then I'll explain it to you slowly"

take the wrapped Xuande stove from aze's hand, put it on the tea table, take off the package outside, and show the real face of Xuande stove inside. It's very considerate The day saw Xuande stove's appearance, immediately frowned, obviously he didn't take a fancy to the incomplete Xuande stove.

"Xiaoxi, it's not my uncle who doubts you. Are you too ugly? Many places are broken. Are you sure it's an antique? "

Anticipating Zhou quantian's reaction, Lin Xi immediately explained with a smile: "Uncle Zhou, as you know, I have a lot of contact with antiques in the pawnshop. I still have a bit of insight. The appearance of this thing is ugly, but it's a genuine Xuande stove. Shulao has personally identified it."

After a pause, Lin Xi seemed to think of something again. He continued: "Uncle Zhou, you should know Xuande stove, right? Shu used to work in the cultural relics department of Kyoto. A few years ago, he served as the president of the national antiques Association. What he identified is the gold lettered signboard, which is authoritative. Otherwise, I would not dare to see you. "

Although Zhou quantian is not proficient in antiques and doesn't know much about shulao, he believes that Lin Xi's words are just his pursuit of censers, not just antiques, but artistic sense and beauty.

In other words, the appearance of the censer is the most important thing for Zhou quantian. Although Xuande censer is an antique, its appearance is really ugly. Therefore, it is reasonable for Zhou quantian to have a conflict and look down on it.

He picked up Xuande stove and played with it twice, then put it back to its original position. Zhou quantian said straight to the point: "Xiaoxi, you know my uncle doesn't know about antiques, and doesn't care if it's antiques. If you put this product there, it's not a joke. If you don't look at my other censers, which one is not chic and exquisite, and people say it's good after reading it?"

Looking in the direction of Zhou quantian's fingers, Lin Xi saw ten censers on the wall cabinet behind him. First of all, he didn't say how much those censers cost or whether they were artistic, but at least they looked very pleasing to the eye. Although there were suspicions that they were not good for use, they couldn't stand Zhou quantian's good taste.But if Lin Xi could bring Chunchun and aze, he would have been prepared and confident enough to persuade Zhou quantian: "Uncle Zhou, I know what you said, otherwise I dare not come to you. It's not that this Xuande stove was used by the emperor in the past. If it wasn't for the poor preservation, it would only be damaged.

After a pause, Lin Xi continued: "but as long as we can find experts to repair it, we can't guarantee anything else. At least we have more face than the censers you have now. I'll tell you the truth. I'm afraid we can't find a few genuine Xuande censers in the whole country. If they are placed with you at that time, they will have more face."

Zhou quantian seems to have some idea. Lin Xi hastens to strike while the iron is hot and adds: "and many people can't find such a treasure with lanterns. It's really priceless. I don't know you like censers. Just because my two friends are eager to use money, they want to bring it to you. Outsiders don't have this chance."

"I've also heard that there will be an antique appreciation meeting in Mingzhou in a few months. Many famous artists will attend the meeting, so you must go too, uncle Zhou? I can assure you that as long as you can repair this Xuande stove and show it at the antique appreciation meeting, it will definitely be gorgeous. That's what Mr. Shu asked me to tell you. "

Although I believe what Lin Xi said is true, Zhou can't help joking: "Xiao Xi, according to what you say, my uncle doesn't hurt you in vain. If you have such a good thing, you can still think of keeping it for me first."

No matter how cheeky Lin Xi was, he couldn't help his face at this time. He looked like he had been in the street before and was exposed in public. Fortunately, Zhou was just joking. He didn't say anything more. Instead, he agreed: "after listening to you so much, if I don't agree, it would be inhuman. OK, I want this thing However, ··· "

speaking of this, Zhou stopped all day, then looked at the nervous Chunchun and aze, and then continued to smile:" Xiaoxi, uncle has another condition. If you can agree, I'll buy it at the price you said. What do you think? "

Hearing Zhou quantian's words, Lin Xi was stunned: "conditions, what conditions? Uncle Zhou, please tell me. As long as I can do it, I will promise you. "

However, Zhou quantian shook his head and said with a mysterious smile: "as long as you agree first, we will conclude the deal immediately. As for the conditions, it's not too late to talk about them slowly."

Although Lin Xi was very curious about what Zhou quantian said, his understanding of Zhou quantian should not be too demanding, or he would not have to pretend to be mysterious.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Xi had an idea in his heart and immediately said, "OK, uncle Zhou, as long as I can do it, I promise you that I will do it for you."
