Zhang Senxu pointed desolately at the snuff bottle in front of him and sighed: "Old Chen, at that time, I was completely captivated by this snuff bottle, how could I have seen anything else? Furthermore, after I saw that the snuff bottle was brought over, I was worried that the two of them would go back on their words and quickly leave, so I didn't look at anything else. As for this fan, although I took a glance at it back then, I could tell that its bones had decayed. I felt that even if it was an old item, it wouldn't be worth much.

As if the little kid had heard some kind of funny joke, his loud and clear voice suddenly reverberated within the quiet room, "Old Zhang, oh Old Zhang, I didn't think that you would also make a wrong judgement at this time, and actually let a junior take advantage of you. This is called picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons, don't you feel embarrassed about saying that?

Being teased by his old friend for so many years, Zhang Senxu suddenly forgot about making a mistake and retorted, "Hmph, if it was you, you might not be able to compare to me. Old Chen, let's not laugh at every step, at that time, if it was you, who would you choose?"

Zhang Senxu's words made Chen Hee stifle his words, and he muttered to himself. That's right, if it was him at that time, he probably wouldn't be much better off than Zhang Senxu.

Seeing that the two oldest were bickering with each other about the origins and value of the fan, the obedient Ang Youyong felt an unbearable itch in his heart. After holding it in for an entire afternoon, he finally jumped out: "Uncle Chen, why did you run away?

Chen Hee, who had been pulled back by Ang Youyong, glared at him in annoyance, and actually revealed an expression of disappointment," Stinky brat, do I need you to remind me? Brat, I, your father, will beat your skin. Why didn't I see you fall into the eyes of money before? Do you know what a national treasure is? "This is called a national treasure, a national treasure is a priceless treasure … sigh, but unfortunately, this fan's bone is basically destroyed. It's so rotten that even if you want to repair it, it won't be able to. Otherwise, its value would be even higher …

After being lectured by Chen Hee, Ang Youyong's neck shrank back. He didn't want to leave an impression of him not respecting his elders, so when the time came, he could really tell his father. With his temper, this daddy might not even be able to chase after him with a carrying pole.

Therefore, Ang Youyong became an obedient child once again. Someone muttered: "A priceless treasure is simply worthless, you speak of it so nicely, you have your reasons, what else can we say …"

Actually, Lin Xi also wanted to ask how much this fan was worth, but he endured it in the end. After all, Ang Youyong had already lost to him in first place, and he wasn't stupid enough to provoke such a misfortune. In any case, he believed that Chen Hee would say it out loud, so he was in no hurry to do it.

However, Lin Xi was still very clever, and since he could not ask openly, he decided to change the method: "Old Master Chen, since this is a real object, can you tell us its origin? This brat does not understand much, and is just about to ask for your guidance and study, I hope that Old Master Chen can teach me."

With that, Lin Xi stood up, cupped his fists, and advanced towards Chen Hee, bending down to his knees. He then maintained this posture for a good four or five seconds before getting up.

This etiquette was originally a great gift that the Confucian students had been lucky enough to get from their teachers when they asked for guidance. However, now that Chen Hee had come out, it showed his sincerity and sincerity, it could be said that he respected his teacher very much.

Seeing Lin Xi give such a great gift, Chen Hee was slightly startled, but in the next moment he reacted, revealing a kind and gentle smile. Obviously, he had calmly accepted the gift, and was fully deserving of it.

Although he felt that he deserved it, he still couldn't help but praise. "I really didn't see that, Lin Xi, you actually understood these etiquette methods. Not bad, not bad, not bad at all.

After pausing for a moment, he seemed to remember something. He turned his head and glared at Ang Youyong, "Little fatty, look at you, why didn't you learn even the slightest bit about Lin Xi? You're about to get married, and you haven't even gotten a straight face yet. If you don't, I will beat up your skin, and see you mess around everyday. "

Qin Yu, who saw this scene, couldn't help but laugh: "That's right, I think that brat is also becoming more and more sly. In the future, if Elder Chen wants to hit him, you don't have to do it personally, I'll do it, moreover I have a problem with me, I don't like to slap, I like to kick …"

Seeing that everyone was denouncing him, Ang Youyong's face turned bitter. He thought to himself: Why am I sitting here?

In the next moment, Ang Youyong's fat face looked at Lin Xi with hidden bitterness, as if he was blaming him for consulting Chen Hee, causing himself to be denounced. However, no matter how much he complained, he still had to submit, "Hehe, Uncle Chen, Brother Yu, don't worry, in the future, we will study well with Brother Xi and guarantee that we won't be so glib with our words. When the time comes, you don't need to beat us up, alright?

Chen Hu seemed to be used to Ang Youyong's mischievous smile and doubted his submission. However, he did not say anything more, with only a light snort, he returned to the main topic at hand: "Since Lin Xi has already asked, and even bowed to me in such a way, then I will tell you. You all heard me."

Chen Hee took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then muttered to himself for a moment, as if he was organizing his own language. After a long time, he said leisurely: "The folding fan is considered a miscellaneous item in the antique shop, but its appraisal is also a complicated matter, because it often requires comprehensive techniques and artistic content. The techniques involved mainly focus on the quality of the fan, the quality of the fan bone, and the level of carving.

For example, the fan surface of this folding fan, the first thing we need to judge is the origin and age of the fan surface, so we need to grasp some basic information. For example, the fan surface of this folding fan, the first thing we need to judge is the origin and age of the fan surface,

"Second, let's take a look at this fan bone. This fan bone is level 14 He Shang's head bone, about 1 chi long. This is the typical fan bone appearance of folding fans in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Then, looking at the material used for this fan bone, it is the Xiang Fei Bamboo, also known as the Nine Suspicion Spotted Bamboo, also known as the Teardrop Bamboo, it is a rare and precious type of bamboo, its most typical characteristic is that the skin has very lifelike tears, its appearance is brownish black or purplish brown, and it also has a legend with Xiang Fei Bamboo. Which of you knows, Little Fatty, do you know? "
