Chapter 21 Treasures of the World

Hu Chuyuan was happy as soon as he heard Wang Yirong's name.

This person, he knows that the discoverer of Oracle and the earliest researchers, it can be said that the foundation of Oracle research in China was established by this person, and it is said that it has a high status in the Chinese academic field.

He was puzzled again and asked, "This man didn't take the entrance examination?"

Yan Shizhang said, "There is also a problem of luck. He has fallen twice, but I think his talent is far from comparable to that of ordinary Jinshi. It's also that he is too erudite and learns everything. In fact, he is a very smart and powerful person, but he studied in the wrong direction. There's no way, official eunuchs, these are the things you play with!"

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "Then you let him come. I'm going to organize a Jiangnan National Academy here, and I can hire him to come. As long as he wants, the salary is easy... I'm afraid he is not short of money.

Yan Shizhang smiled bitterly and said, "Money... Who is not short of money? Don't you also lack money? He doesn't have a shortage, but it's always a good thing to have a high salary. The key is whether there is a suitable position for him!"

Hu Chuyuan thought about it again and again that such a person must be recruited.

Among other things, ask such a person to help identify cultural relics and antiques, but everything that can be handed down has been collected for a long time. When he leaves, the treasure house left for his descendants is enough to open a palace museum.

Such a person must use a good thing to ** him.

Hu Chuyuan asked, "Where is he?"

Yan Shizhang said, "I'm still working in the household department of the capital. His father and I are from the same imperial examination and fellow villagers. We have a good relationship. I asked him if he wanted to come to Hangzhou for a few months. I made the funds. He said that he wanted to play in Jiangnan, but he couldn't get a holiday. I said, although you resign to play, you can just take the entrance examination in the future. He agreed, but it will take some time to resign. It will take about half a month to arrive!"

Hu Chuyuan was very happy, as if he had seen that he was about to collect hundreds of Yuanqinghua at home. He said, "Okay, then go and do something for me... Forget it, I'll do it myself. You stay here and write a letter of recommendation for me!"

"Good, good to say!"

Yan Shizhang was very happy. He touched the mahogany table in front of him and praised: "Among the mahogany, Tianzhu red sandalwood is the king of the best. Unfortunately, it is not suitable for big furniture. In addition, there are black branches, red branches and white branches, as well as Yunnan chicken wings and Hainan yellow pears. Among the five kinds, black branches are the most expensive, and the price is comparable to red sandalwood. This table uses a whole piece of ebony, which I'm afraid it will be made of a thousand-year-old logs. Thousands of years, the essence, there is only such a table. Dongjia, I envy you. How happy life would be if you could write and paint on such a table!"

"This...!" Hu Chuyuan thought for a while, but still felt that this desk could not be given away, and it had to be kept to the world.

He has visited the courtyard of the Hu family before. Many of the furniture of the Hu family have been sold by his descendants. Only two mahogany tables have been preserved. One is a large table in the Hu family and the music hall. It is a round mahogany table for a family to eat, two meters in diameter, and the other is the desk in front of them.

Until the 21st century, these two tables are still the largest old mahogany tables in the whole area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. They can be called royal royal level in terms of materials, paint and handicrafts.

Let's talk about paint and lacquer art. Paint is Fujian's Fujian red paint. The lacquer art is a master invited by the Beijing Normal University. The technology used is called "old deep paint". More than 40 layers are brushed back and forth. The effect is like European and American piano paint, but even after hundreds of years, the paint will not fade.

The mahogany dining table is a traditional Qing style, and this desk softens the style of foreigners because Hu Xueyan deals with foreigners all year round. It is a combination of Chinese and Western styles, and Hu Chuyuan also likes it very much.

If he remembers correctly, this table was later used to hold the inscriptions of General Secretary Jiang, ** and others.

To be honest, this kind of table is not something he can get if he has money, let alone make it with money. It depends on luck.

The thousand-year-old black branch tree is difficult to find even in the Philippines now, and it will be even more difficult to find in the future.

So, he also wants to stay and pass it on.

What is handed down? The redwood desk of the President of the United States was left by the President of Washington. Only the President of the United States can use it, and others can't talk about it.

After thinking about it, he said to Yan Shizhang, "It's rare that you like it so much. Unfortunately, I'm reluctant to give it away, and I still want to keep it...!"

Before he finished speaking, Yan Shizhang panicked and said, "My employer, don't misunderstand me. I like it very much, but even if you give it to me, this thing can't be kept in my house for several years. Not to mention that I want it, even if the empress dowager sees it, who doesn't want it? There are fewer and fewer rare treasures. I'm probably very happy that you can keep it in your home and have the opportunity to take advantage of it. I will write a few letters and draw a few calligraphy and paintings on it... Really."

Hu Chuyuan nodded silently. He knew that Yan Shizhang was telling the truth.

Don't underestimate this table. People who know the goods know how much it is worth at a glance.

He said, "That's it. I'll reorder it for you with Hainan's yellow pear wood according to the size and style. The paint and process are the same, but it can be customized in the capital. I'm looking for a royal craftsman in the palace. I have to do it secretly and can't deliver it in two years."

"Thank you, host!" Yan Shizhang was extremely happy and smiled with a lot of emotion, "At the beginning, I told Lord Zhongtang that I would find a rich and noble job with you. You see, I found it. The table you ordered for me is worth 5,000 taels of silver, and the manual fee alone is more than 600 taels.

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "As long as you are satisfied, I'll do it first. You stay. If someone comes to me, you can ask him to wait for me, and I'll be back immediately!"

"Alas, host, don't worry!"

Yan Shizhang was so happy that he couldn't help touching the desk and sighed in his heart: A work handed down from generation to generation, a rare treasure!

Hu Chuyuan left immediately. He went to Hu Qingyutang to find a medicinal herb - the keel.

Hu Qingyutang of the Hu family opened four stores in Hangzhou. The nearest store is on Yuanbao Street. It is a few hundred steps east from the Hu family's compound. Hu Chuyuan did not ask anyone to prepare a sedan chair. Only a nurse and two family monks followed him.

What are you doing?

Protect the master!

Who doesn't know that the Hu family is extremely rich. In case a desperate robber kidnaps him up and the ransom is less than three million taels of silver, the robbers will be embarrassed to speak.

Walking on the road, Hu Chuyuan thought in his heart that he could recruit a scholar. Why can't he recruit one or two shrewd and powerful family members? Don't have too many. Two people are enough. They are familiar with words, superb in martial arts, shrewd, and have to be young and durable.

In addition, if you buy another Western carriage, it has to be an imported tall ocean horse. The speed of sitting in the sedan chair is too slow, and it can make people fall asleep.

What is a head?

This is called a business. There is always a difference between driving Santana and driving Audi and Bentley.

There is no need to say anything, people's financial resources and status are there.

Quickly walked into Hu Qingyu Hall. Hu Chuyuan almost bumped into a person, but the man said, "Oh, Chu Yuan!"

Hu Chuyuan looked up and saw that it was the fourth uncle Hu Yueqiao, so he asked, "Fourth uncle, are you there too?"

Hu Yueqiao laughed and said, "Yes, yes, my sister-in-law asked me to take care of the pharmacy business. How can I not come to see it often? This good thing is also thanks to you. Without your consent, I can't get this pharmacy. To be honest, it has always been my long-cherished wish to run a pharmacy. Unfortunately, your father's pharmacy invests in millions of dollars. I can't pay this money!"

Hu Chuyuan smiled and said, "If the family doesn't talk about two families, there is really no suitable person to take care of the family at present. We can't let this pharmacy close. Then don't think too much about it. You still have to ask your fourth uncle to take care of it!"

Mrs. Hu Jinshi suggested that Hu Yueqiao should take over Hu Qingyutang. Without objection, Hu Chuyuan asked Hu Yueqiao to invest 600,000 taels of silver to buy 40% of the shares of the pharmaceutical company.
