Chapter 312 Source of the Cup

Chen Ranxian told Wang Liang and Wang's father that this pair of jars were indeed the Flower God Cup he was looking for, but he didn't say anything about the value. He thought it was 400,000. In fact, Wang Liang's peach blossom cup was not worth 400,000 yuan, but it was not much different. The approximate value was between 300,000 and 400,000 yuan, which was simply regarded as 400,000 yuan. Except for the largest value of the August osmanthus cup and the October hibiscus cup, the value of other cups are similar, all of which are about 300,000 yuan. Among them, the lotus cup and the moon cup are slightly lower, about 300,000 yuan.

After getting Chen Ran's affirmative answer, Wang Liang was very excited. Compared with the excited Wang Liang, Wang's father was much calmer and his expression did not fluctuate much. I'm afraid he was still skeptical.

"Laun Wang, how did you get this cup? Do you still remember?" After putting down the Flower God Cup, Chen Ran couldn't wait to ask this question.

The current situation is really puzzled. Liu Laogen's pair of cups are May pomegranate cups. He thought this pomegranate cups were the same as August osmanthus cups, but Wang Liang's pair of cups are not pomegranate cups, but peach blossom cups, which are also the same.

"I can't remember it clearly. It seems that I picked it up. Let me think about it..." Wang's father still has a little impression of this cup, but it's been too long, but he can't remember exactly how to get it.

Chen Ran and Wang Liang looked at each other, and then looked at Wang's father, waiting for his father's reply. Not only Chen Ran felt incredible, but also Wang Liang felt incredible. His ancestors were not senior officials, so how could there be such valuable antiques in his family? Obviously, in his eyes, there was only his family. There are officials in the ancestors, and only those handed down from the family can have valuable antiques.

"Do you think Uncle Gen also has such a pair of cups at home?" Wang's father frowned and thought for a long time, but he didn't think of a reason. Instead, he suddenly remembered what Wang Liang said that Liu Laogen's family also had a pair of such cups.

Wang highlights nodded.

"Your uncle's family also has it, and our family also has it..." Wang's father pondered slightly, suddenly was stunned, and then nodded affirmatively: "I remember that this cup was fished out of the river."

"Draw it out of the river?" Wang Liang had been waiting for Wang's father's answer. Wang's father suddenly remembered it. He thought that Wang's father would tell a story like heirloom. Who knew that Wang's father directly said that it was fished from the river, which immediately surprised him: "Can you still fish for antiques in the river?"

Chen Ran is also getting more and more strange. Although he has heard many stories about picking up antiques by the river, he is still surprised to find antiques such as the Flower God Cup.

"What's new about this? The bowls and bottles and cans used in our era were not all fished from the river. The village girl got married, and there were few bottles and cans for dowry. When your mother married, she also brought two flower pots..." Father Wang said naturally.

"Then why didn't I see our family?" Wang Liang also became more and more surprised. He really didn't know about it.

Father Wang laughed and said, "At that time, there was no you. When there was you, it was gone. In the past, there was a lot of water in the river. As soon as there was a flood, a lot of things rushed down from the upstream. There were everything. At that time, these bottles and cans were worthless, let alone sell them. Even if it is given to others, no one is rare. If it is lost and thrown away, even if it is preserved, it will be replaced by those small vendors later. The two flower pots that your mother married were stolen by your brother and exchanged a piece of candy with a small vendor. At that time, you were very angry with your mother and chased your brother with a stick and ran away half of the village. , the few bottles and cans left in the village were also exchanged by these small traders for things. Later, there were fewer and fewer things, and there was no big water in the river. That is to say, you sent it once or twice when you were a child, and the water was not as big as before. What washed down is also the branches on the mountain, not to mention now, in the river The water was dry. When I was a child, the river was several times wider than it is now. The people of the whole village had to flee to the mountain. At that time, the people in the village lived by the river. Later, building houses higher and higher, it became what it is now..."

Wang Liang was extremely surprised to hear that he had lived in the village for so many years and had never heard anyone say such a thing. A piece of candy exchanged his mother's dowry?

Chen Ran has heard a lot of such things. In that era, the rural areas in remote areas were like this. At that time, the traffic was inconvenient and the news was not clear. Many places actually lived an isolated life from the outside world. I remember reading it in the newspaper that in some mountain villages, in the 1980s Hou, I don't know that the new country has been established, and it is still outside that the Qing court is ruling the whole country.

In that era, there were no mobile phones, no telephones, and naturally no newspapers in the countryside. The only thing that could get information from the outside world was the most popular goodsmen at that time. They carried a burden, held a rattle, and walked between villages. The villagers also welcomed these small goodsmen very much, because he Not only can we hear the changes outside from these little men, but these changes will surprise them. In addition to these, they can also exchange some new things from these little men, but they don't know that these little men have exchanged their treasures cheaply. Is it normal to exchange a piece of sugar for two flower pots? In the eyes of the rural people at that time, everything was worthless except gold and silver. It was not until later that some people in the village began to go out of the village and have more contact with the outside world that they gradually changed this way of barter trading.

"Old Uncle Wang, did you fish this cup out of the river? How many were fished out at that time? Not long after Wang's father's words, Chen Ran asked such a question. Although he knew the origin of the Huashen Cup, he still did not figure out why the pair of Liu Laogen's family was the same pomegranate cups, while Wang Liang's family was a pair of peach blossom cups. It is impossible to fish it so coincidentally, unless it was fished out and exchanged. This is not impossible. After all, no matter what, Chinese people prefer symmetry, and a pair naturally needs to be the same.

There is no doubt that the latter one is the key point of the two questions asked by Chen Ran. Even if it is exchanged, it is impossible to fish out four cups. What happens to be two peach blossom cups and two pomegranate cups.

"I don't remember it clearly. At that time, we had several people, including me, your uncle's father, Xiaoliang's uncle, and Erya, that is, Xiaoliang's lame uncle's aunt in the backyard... It seemed that they were fished out. We four boys were divided into pairs, and the ones were the same when we picked them. This cup looks very beautiful. Everyone wants to look good. I remember that I almost had to fight about this..." This memory was too far away. At that time, Wang's father was only a teenager. In fact, Wang's father didn't tell the truth. At that time, he didn't almost fight, but really fought. Four boys divided a pair and gave Erya divided one. This cup is so beautiful. Needless to say, it is attractive to girls. Erya also wants a pair. Uncle Gen's father and Erya are the closest to each other, and they have to share it with Erya. Wang's father Xiaoliang's uncle's two brothers and another boy are unwilling. At that time, Uncle Gen's father took one and pulled two. Ya ran away, but was caught up, and the result was fought. Needless to say, Xiaoliang's uncle was still righteous and did not grab the one he gave to Uncle Gen's father and Erya. Wang's father could remember this memory precisely because of this matter, but it was naturally difficult for him to tell the younger generation.

Wang's father thought about it and said, but he didn't find that Chen Ran's eyes were straight, *!

He worked hard to collect only one pair from Uncle Lin, and now * suddenly appeared.

"Do you also have it at your uncle's house?" Wang Liang asked in surprise, and Chen Ran also looked at Wang's father with expectation, which was undoubtedly what he wanted to ask.

Father Wang nodded: "There should be, but I don't know if it's still there. It's also in Uncle Qian's house, and I don't know that one. You can go to the lame uncle's house later. If there is, it's also in your lame uncle's house. Is this cup really worth so much money?"

Obviously, at this time, he still doesn't believe that this kind of cup will be worth so much. Even if it is an antique, it can't be worth so much. It's not that no one in the countryside has sold an antique. However, even if an antique is found in the countryside, it is generally of great value, unless it is ancestor. There were senior officials who were exiled to the mountain village.

"Of course it's worth it." Wang Liang was also very happy at this time. Hearing Wang's father's question, he relayed to Wang's father what Chen Ran had just said to him. Chen Ran was able to bid 400,000 yuan, but it was all because of him. He was undoubtedly very proud when he talked about it in front of Wang's father.

After listening to what Wang Liang said, Wang's father's eyes suddenly looked at Chen Ran a little different, but he didn't say anything. He patted Chen Ran on the shoulder and nodded with a smile: "Xiaoliang, this child doesn't understand many things. You have to pull him well in the future."

This sentence does not mean praise at all, but it is undoubtedly heavier than any praise.

Chen Ran was not pretentious and agreed. Wang's father gave him the feeling that he was not like an old man in the countryside at all, but very free and easy.

Wang's father praised Chen Ran, and Wang Liang was also very happy. After being happy, he couldn't wait to say, "Dad, I'll go to my uncle's house to ask if his cup is still there..."

"Go ahead." Wang's father nodded with a smile, but told Wang Liang not to squeak for the time being. Ask first. If there is, let them bring it here. If not, forget it.

After Wang Liang agreed, he ran out excitedly...
