Chapter 216 Dragon Robe and Phoenix Robe Rental Business

Xiao Yingchun was disturbed by his reaction: "Master? What's wrong with these dragon robes and phoenix robes?"

Dong Chunfeng took a look at the twenty-odd dragon and phoenix robes and the emperor and empress's uniforms arranged in two rows and said, "These things are all very good! The material, workmanship, shape, and completeness... are all very, very good!"

Xiao Yingchun raised his eyebrows: What next?
“But these things can’t be sold as antiques.”

Xiao Yingchun was stunned: "Why?"

Dong Chunfeng looked at Fu Chenan seriously, then looked at Xiao Yingchun.

"Do you know why the only antique dragon and phoenix robes available on the market today are from the Qing Dynasty?"

Xiao Yingchun thought for a moment and asked, "Are all those before the Qing Dynasty already rotten?"

Dong Chunfeng nodded.

"Fabrics cannot be preserved for so many years. When they are discovered, they will quickly oxidize, change color, and rot..."

"The only antique dragon and phoenix robes that can be seen around the world are from the Qing Dynasty."

"The dragon robes of the Ming Dynasty are only fragments and one-to-one replicas."

"Those from the Tang Dynasty are unprecedented!"

"And these of yours, from a regulatory perspective, look like things from the late Tang Dynasty."

"Are there any dragon and phoenix robes from the Tang Dynasty or even before now?"

"Yes, but they were all restored by modern craftsmen based on pictures and other materials."

“So no matter how good your item is, it cannot be auctioned as an antique, it can only be a work of art.”

Unless Xiao Yingchun is prepared to admit that he is familiar with ancient and modern times and can bring ancient things to the modern world at any time.

But if that happens, Xiao Yingchun will never be as free as she is now, and Fu Chenan may very likely become an experimental subject in a laboratory.

At this point, Dong Chunfeng added: "Even if it is sent abroad, it is not allowed."

"If someone asks you where you got all these dragon and phoenix robes?"

"Which dynasty is it from?"

"Which emperor wore it?"

"How will you deal with this?!"

What's more, such exquisite dragon robes and phoenix robes are one-of-a-kind!
If they were taken abroad, even if they were just from a fictitious dynasty, Dong Chunfeng would feel distressed!

Xiao Yingchun took a look at the dragon and phoenix robes, then looked at Fu Chenan, and silently chose to shut up.

Life is still important.

Seeing Xiao Yingchun listening to the advice, Dong Chunfeng felt a little relieved.

"But your dragon and phoenix robes are not completely useless."

Xiao Yingchun and Fu Chenan looked at each other: "Hmm? What else is there to use?"

After hearing what Dong Chunfeng said, Fu Chenan even wanted to burn the late emperor to death.

Dong Chunfeng said seriously: "We rent it out to some big production crews to make costumes."

"Every year, investors and directors of period dramas come to me for consultation and even rent some real antiques as props."

"Especially for large-scale productions that have high requirements for scenes and large budgets."

"If you can rent these dragon and phoenix robes and casual clothes to the crew, they will definitely be very popular."

"At least until now, I have never seen any crew's costumes be so exquisite and luxurious!"

"This is real brocade, Suzhou embroidery and kesi silk!"

"Any set is worth more than 10 million..."

Xiao Yingchun raised her eyebrows at Fu Chenan strangely: That’s for sure.

No film crew has the ability to borrow real dragon robes and phoenix robes to use as costumes and props!

Fu Chenan suddenly said, "Master, if it is rented to the crew, would they like to rent the concubines' clothes?"

There are still many concubines’ clothes in the palace!

At first, Fu Chenan planned to burn them all together.

Dong Chunfeng glanced at Fu Chenan with a strange expression: "If they have it, they will naturally want it."

"Do you still remember the recent hit drama 'True Return'? The kingfisher-inlaid phoenix crown on Concubine Hua's head is worth 50 million!" "The crew rented it from a collector, and the rent is 1 million per day!"

Xiao Yingchun and Fu Chenan both gasped when they heard this!
If this is the case, then there is still a lot of room for these hard-to-sell dragon and phoenix robes and concubines' clothes!

"This is good!" Fu Chenan's eyes were shining and full of longing.

Dong Chunfeng: Are you really not going to hide it at all?!
Xiao Yingchun started laughing: "Master, do you have the contact information of a company that specializes in renting costumes and props? Don't you?"

Dong Chunfeng looked at Xiao Yingchun helplessly and said, "Of course there is. Are you sure you want to rent it out?"

Xiao Yingchun smiled and said, "Of course I can rent it."

It's all waste utilization anyway.

"Okay... I'll give you a contact number..." Dong Chunfeng took out his cell phone and gave a number to Xiao Yingchun.

Xiao Yingchun saved it as if it were a treasure, and then looked at Fu Chenan: "Have you prepared the food?"

Just now, when Dong Chunfeng was carefully looking at the dragon robes and phoenix robes on the first floor, Fu Chenan had quietly gone from the living room on the second floor to the Tianwu Dynasty Palace to get the food prepared by the imperial chef.

Fu Chenan: "It's ready, it's time to eat."

"Master, how about eating first?"

Dong Chunfeng was indeed tired: "Okay."

The three of them sat down at the table, picked up their bowls and chopsticks and started eating. As soon as they started eating, Dong Chunfeng was stunned: This food tastes really good.

"Hmm, is this roasted venison with cumin? And this is vegetable sprouts in soup? They both taste great..."

He had eaten a lot of good food, but the dishes in front of him tasted really good.

Xiao Yingchun served the food to the master with a smile: "Then please eat more, Master."

Dong Chunfeng nodded and ate slowly, but he suddenly felt something was wrong: what was wrong with the big bowl of soup with vegetable sprouts?

It doesn't look like the kind used at home?
He couldn't sit still any longer: "Can you spare this bowl so I can take a look?"

Xiao Yingchun looked at Fu Chenan in surprise: The royal one?
Fu Chenan's eyes were full of apology: I forgot to change the bowl.

Fortunately, Xiao Yingchun reacted quickly. While getting a bowl to exchange, she said, "I collected a set of bowls and chopsticks before, but he didn't know about it and used them to serve the dishes..."

Dong Chunfeng gave Xiao Yingchun a blank look: Just make it up, I won’t expose it anyway.

Dong Chunfeng cleared a bowl, wiped it carefully with a napkin, and looked at it carefully.

It has been confirmed that the bowls that were auctioned before should come from the same place.

However, the one in front of him was obviously made in the palace for the emperor’s use, and the pattern was auspicious images of dragons and phoenixes.

After seeing this, Dong Chunfeng became cautious and looked at the remaining bowls of food.

Well, it’s a complete set, all from that dynasty.

Dong Chunfeng was helpless and finally couldn't help but remind him: "You should be more low-key in your daily life. Don't use this kind of bowl to eat in the future."

"It's lucky that it's me today. If someone else was here and noticed something..."

How to get around it?!
It would be a pity if it got bumped into!
Xiao Yingchun was embarrassed: "Yes, yes, yes..."

Dong Chunfeng: Being a master is such a stressful job!

After dinner, Xiao Yingchun asked Dong Chunfeng: "Master, you have been busy for so long, why don't you take a rest first? We can talk about the rest tomorrow?"

Dong Chunfeng pointed at the other four boxes of things that had not been unpacked in a bad mood and said, "What? I haven't even finished looking at them yet, and you want to kick me out?"

Xiao Yingchun blushed: "Isn't it because I'm worried that you'll be too tired..."

Dong Chunfeng glared at her and signaled to Fu Chenan: "Open the other boxes as well."

"Master, I'm in good health!"

Fu Chenan readily opened the other four boxes.

Dong Chunfeng looked at a box of shoes for the emperor and empress and classified them into the previous categories of dragon robes, phoenix robes and casual clothes.

The other three boxes were all jewelry. Since they were originally from the palace, the concubines, empress and palace maids had kept them very carefully, one small box at a time.

Once the box was opened, boxes of various sizes were revealed.

Dong Chunfeng looked at these boxes and gasped in pain because of his toothache!
　The kingfisher tiara that Concubine Hua wore was actually a rented antique, with a rental fee of one million per day.

　　If you are interested, you can check it out. They are using this as a highlight of their publicity.
