772 Valuable gifts

Fortunately, the case was solved quickly, and the things stolen by Cousin Zhuang, including Xiao Yao's oil painting, had not had time to be transferred, let alone damaged, and Shi Feng was only a false alarm, and there was no loss.

Although the person who stole the thing was not Zhuang Yan, he was his cousin after all, and the reason was also because he inadvertently leaked the secret, and he was also responsible, so when facing Shi Feng and Xiao Yao, Zhuang Yan was very uncomfortable.

But he really underestimated Shi Feng and Xiao Yao's minds, not to mention that everything was chased back intact, even if there was a loss, the two of them would not be angry and solemn.

The case involving such a huge amount of money was solved in less than half a day, Shi Feng, the victim, and his friends were very happy, and Lu Yeping and others in the public security system were also very excited.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Zeng Guowen said: "Lu Tang, you and the team leader have really worked hard today, do you two have time at noon today? I want to invite you to a meal and express your gratitude." ”

Although Lu Yeping has met Zeng Guowen a few times, she has never had dinner with him at the same table. Zeng Guowen's energy in Qingcheng is very high, if it weren't for today's case, even Lu Yeping would not be qualified to enter his circle of friends.

It is rare for Zeng Guowen to take the initiative to invite him to dinner, of course Lu Yeping will not refuse, "It is our honor to invite Zeng to dinner, but there are regulations in the middle of the * that you can't drink alcohol at noon, and you have to ask Mr. Zeng to forgive me for this." ”

"Let's just sit together and chat, talk, as for drinking or not, it doesn't matter, as long as Lu Tang and the team leader are willing to appreciate it. ”

If it weren't for Xiao Yao's face, Zeng Guowen would definitely not come forward, Zeng Guowen wanted to have a treat, and of course Xiao Yao would have to accompany him.

Xiao Yao can't come to Qingcheng often, so he is not enthusiastic about making friends with the local people in Qingcheng, but Shi Feng and the others are very enthusiastic, and it is a rare opportunity for them to have a relationship with Lu Yeping, a powerful person.

After lunch, seeing off Lu Yeping and the others, Xiao Yao said to Zeng Guowen: "Mr. Zeng, I have already set tomorrow's route, and I have to leave after breakfast." I will send someone to take care of the affairs of Erlongshan Ranch, but I definitely have to ask you to take care of it more. ”

"The president can rest assured, I have taken root in Qingcheng over the years, and there are still a little contacts in all aspects, and with a rich man like you investing in the ranch, it is too late for the local government to welcome it, and I can also play a role in matchmaking. Zeng Guowen agreed, but he said it modestly.

Although Xiao Yao is already a little tired of the non-stop entertainment in the past few days, he will leave tomorrow, and he is bound to participate in the send-off banquet tonight.

Zeng Guowen, the members of the Getaway Club, and Shi Feng's parents all have to attend his send-off banquet tonight, and he is bound to be unable to shirk it.

Xiao Yao originally thought that there were enough people attending the send-off banquet in the evening, but he didn't expect that when he arrived at the airport on the second day, there were more people who came to see him off than at night, and everyone didn't come empty-handed, so they all brought a big bag of gifts.

Although the gifts carried by Shi Feng's parents are not necessarily the most valuable, they are definitely the most numerous.

As soon as Xiao Yao wanted to shirk, Shi Yunshan said, "Xiao Yao, don't be polite to me. This time you came to your uncle's house, brought so many valuable gifts, and also gave Shi Feng a priceless oil painting, you are leaving today, and I don't have anything good to give you, just prepare a little local souvenir for you. It's not worth a lot of money, but it's a little bit of your uncle's heart, you won't dislike it, right?"

There was no way, Xiao Yao had to say: "I definitely like the souvenirs that my uncle gave me, but the number is a bit too much, thanks to the fact that I sit on a private plane, otherwise, it will take it all away, and it will be a bit difficult." ”

"I'm not good enough, quantity is enough. Shi Yunshan laughed.

As soon as he finished entertaining Shiyun Mountain, Zeng Guowen came over and said: "There are not many things that we can get our hands on in Qingcheng, and we know that you are a literati, so I have prepared two small gifts for you - an inkstone and a bloodstone." The inkstone is said to have been used by Zeng Guofan, the bloodstone has not yet been knifed, you can find someone to carve it into a square seal, although these two small gifts are not worth much, but they are still elegant things, just in line with your identity. ”

The two gifts given to him by Zeng Guowen were packaged, and Xiao Yao couldn't get a glimpse of their true colors for a while, but he believed that the gifts given to him by a big man like Zeng Guowen in person would definitely be no different. His so-called two small gifts, even if they are not heavy treasures, are bound to be worth more than 10 million.

Xiao Yao didn't refuse the gift that Shi Yunshan gave him, and he wouldn't refuse the gift that the big guy Zeng gave him, so he accepted it happily.

set a precedent, and Xiao Yao certainly had no reason to refuse the gifts brought by others. Whether it was the gifts given to him by the members of the Getaway, or the miscellaneous things brought by his new friends such as Bao Huhe, he was not polite, he accepted them all and let the flight attendants move them into the cargo hold.

When Bao Huhe and the others were still curious, they were very curious about his special plane, and Xiao Yao simply asked the flight attendants to take them around the cabin until their curiosity was satisfied.

It wasn't until Xiao Yao's special plane flew into the sky that Zeng Guowen and the others left.

After the plane flew smoothly, the purser asked, "Mr. Xiao, do you open the gifts you moved in just now or do you open them after you go back?"

"You open the two gifts that Zeng Guowen gave me first, and I'll see what they are?" Xiao Yao commanded.

Zeng Guowen's two gifts were placed separately, and the purser quickly took them, and after removing the packaging box, he took out an ink-colored inkstone and a blood-red rectangular bloodstone from them.

"This inkstone is really chic, it looks square and simple, but the material of the inkstone is a bit special, it looks smooth and oily, is it black jade?" asked the purser casually.

"Your eyesight is not bad, this is indeed a black jade inkstone, and the quality of Hetian ink jade is very high, such a good ink jade is rare to see, extremely rare. ”

After Xiao Yao took a look at the inkstone, he glanced at it and said, "It is said that this inkstone was once used by Zeng Guofan, and I want to appreciate it carefully." ”

Moyu is a precious and rare natural resource, especially Hetian Moyu is precious, its color is heavy and greasy, coupled with the texture is fine, black as ink, smooth and lovely, so it is very prestigious, its hardness is soft and hard, it is known as the best treasure on the inkstone, the ancients called it "Guimei Stone" with diamonds, gemstones, colored stones.

Xiao Yao's collection has a lot of ink jade inkstones, but such a good quality of ink jade is rare even in his collection.

This piece of ink jade inkstone is like a black grease condensed, even if other factors are not considered, just considering the value of this large piece of ink jade, it is already at the level of 100 million yuan.

This inkstone is made of the beauty of the ink jade itself, the whole is dignified and heavy, the lines are simple and smooth, the surface is bright, the color is mellow, and it is extremely exquisite.

Xiao Yao first looked at the seal on it.

The inscription on the back of the inkstone on it is: Po Zhen Stone Damage, Line Ya Guiwan, Muddy Dew Moves Clouds, Que Returns Replenishment. National Domain.

The seal is: Zeng.

There is also an inscription on the side of the inkstone: Dan's heart is sweaty, and the text is inscribed in the past. Whoever makes up for the position today will be attributed to Ye Shiting. In the mid-autumn of Bingchen, Shi You got this inkstone, and the mouth belonged to the old book.

The shape of the whole inkstone is square and straight, elegant and beautiful, ancient and unpretentious, and the lines are tactful, handsome and dignified, and the craftsmanship is new and unique, just as Zeng Wenzheng is the principle of being a person, when it is the inkstone that is hidden for its own use on the day, so it is not carved.

After appreciating it, Xiao Yao could basically conclude that this square of Moyu inkstone was indeed the old collection of Zeng Guofan.

As for the inscription on the side of the inkstone, it was obviously engraved by Shen Shiyou.

Shen Shiyou is a well-known collector of inkstones in the inkstone forest in modern times, no matter the material, the shape of the collection is based on the taste style as the first, not tacky, and every inkstone he collects is a treasure in the inkstone.

His motive for collecting inkstones is clear, and his playthings are beneficial to his ambitions, so every inkstone he gets always plays with it again and again, carefully touches it, and he becomes a bosom friend with the inkstone, which shows that he is obsessed with the inkstone.

Then, according to its attributes, or self-inscription, or other inscription, or self-inscription and other inscriptions, witty words, so that each inkstone has sustenance. In this way, the descendants will get his collection of treasure inkstones, which will increase the fun.

Seeing the smile on Xiao Yao's face, the purser couldn't help but ask curiously: "Mr. Xiao, this is the end of the appraisal, is this Moyu inkstone really owned by Zeng Guofan?"

"Yes, it is indeed the old collection of Zeng Guofan. ”

"Zeng Guofan is the first minister of the Qing Dynasty, the inkstone he once used, that's amazing, the value of this inkstone should be very high, right?"

Xiao Yao didn't sell it, and said directly: "The value is really high, mainly because the materials of this inkstone are too precious, such a good Hetian ink jade is almost impossible to see now, coupled with the extremely high artistic and historical significance, the market value should be about 150 million." ”

The purser exclaimed in surprise and said in disbelief: "There is such an expensive inkstone, today is really an eye-opener." ”

"Such a precious inkstone is indeed rare. This inkstone must be Mr. Zeng's favorite, and I can be regarded as winning people's love, but it makes me a little unhappy. ”

Although the value of this inkstone is very high, 150 million is not in Xiao Yao's eyes, the reason why he said this is entirely because this inkstone used to be Zeng Guofan's old thing, and Zeng Guowen's name and Zeng Guofan's name are only one word apart, so it is inevitable to cherish this inkstone.

"Mr. Zeng is indeed a big spender, of course, this is also because Mr. Xiao's vision is too high, and ordinary gifts are definitely not worthy of your identity. The purser said with a smile on his face.

"You can talk, and you praise both of them in one sentence. As Xiao Yao spoke, he took another piece of bloodstone in his hand and carefully appreciated it.

The square seal in Xiao Yao's hand is Bahrain bloodstone, Zeng Guowen really had a heart to give such a gift.

Bahrain bloodstone is not only a local specialty, but also extremely precious, this gift is indeed in line with the identity of Zeng Guowen and Xiao Yao.

Although the Bahrain stone was mined late, it was warmly sought after by the stone lovers once it was excavated, and it was included in the "four famous stones" together with Shoushan, Changhua and Qingtian, and was highly praised.

This piece of Bahrain bloodstone is clear and clear, moist and transparent, overflowing with treasure light, and very noble.

This piece of bloodstone, the blood color is bright red and delicate, extremely pure, its upper light is as bright as glass, the texture arrangement is natural flowing, very beautiful, such as the remnant sun sunshine, reflecting a sky, projecting a boundless sunset, in full swing, blazing and public.

Xiao Yao's collection also has some Bahrain bloodstone, but because of the late mining time, there are not many of them, especially this top-notch Bahrain bloodstone, and there are not a few pieces in his collection.

Bloodstone with such a pure color is extremely rare, and this is not the most precious place of this bloodstone.

In the lower part of this square seal, there is a red dragon coiled, this dragon body is sinking, five claws are open, as if there is divine might.

A red dragon with such a realistic demeanor is not artificially carved, but created by nature!

After Xiao Yao saw it, he also had to sigh at the magic of nature.

If this red dragon is artificially carved, even if the craftsmanship is exquisite, the added value is limited. But the magic of nature is different, with this lifelike dragon, the value of this dragon is more than the value of this bloodstone itself.

The purser brought Xiao Yao a cup of tea, put it down and said, "Mr. Xiao, this is bloodstone, right?" I have seen bloodstone a few times in the jade shop, but the color is not as bright and pure as this piece of bloodstone. Although I don't have much research on bloodstone, I can see that this piece of bloodstone must be very valuable. It's the dragon under this square seal that makes me a little puzzled, no matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like it's artificially carved, this shouldn't be a natural pattern, right?"

"Just be confident, this dragon is indeed a naturally occurring pattern, not artificially carved. Xiao Yao took a sip of tea and said.

"It's amazing that it's really a naturally generated pattern, and it's amazing that a naturally generated pattern can be so realistic. ”

This time, the purser didn't ask about the price of the bloodstone, but she believed that the gift must be a staggering price.

After returning to Hanzhou, Xiao Yao only spent a week recuperating in Xiangong Villa, finishing the work at hand, and arranging his subordinates to do what he should instruct his subordinates to do.

After all the work was arranged, he left again on his private jet.

This time he went out, he has many destinations, and the temporary goal is to check in all over the country, and then check in the world when he has more time in the future.

Xiao Yao's footprints have successively traveled all over the mountains and rivers of China, and his purpose is not to travel, but to collect biological species.
