Chapter 026: Four Horned Heavenly Venerable
Li Zuoshan smiled instantly, the boss's Shoushan stone failed to win the favor of the old man, but his four-cornered Tianzun successfully attracted the attention of the old man.
That's the value of five million flowers!
"But ......"
Just as Li Zuoshan raised his eyebrows, the old man turned his words and said in a deep voice: "Zuoshan, I have seen your sincerity, but I can't ask for this treasure of yours!
"Ah...... Fifth uncle? This is what I have carefully prepared for you! Are you not satisfied with this bronze four-cornered Heavenly Venerable, I can go and help you find it again! I am very familiar with Jiangcheng and Yanjing, and I can help you find good things!"
Professor Gao shook his head and persuaded him: "Boss, it's not that the old man doesn't like this four-cornered Tianzun, but he doesn't dare to like it! Your four-cornered Tianzun is a bronze from the Western Zhou Dynasty, and it is relatively intact in terms of both quality and material! But you may be a layman, and you don't know the rules of the antique industry very well!"
"Bronze is forbidden to trade and circulate in China, and it is impossible to bring it to Xiangdao from the mainland, the old man does love bronzes, but it is impossible to bring it from Jiangcheng to Xiangdao!
"Ah......" Li Zuoshan's face was full of sweat, he was indeed a layman, and he didn't think about it so much when he bought bronzes, so he thought about picking the most expensive one, but he didn't expect that there was such a rule in the antique shop.
"There is one more critical point!" Professor Gao finally added: "Most of the bronzes of the Western Zhou Dynasty were used in the ceremonies of sacrifice and ancestor worship, or the ancients used them for burial, and this kind of thing is not suitable for giving people as gifts!"
"I ......" Li Zuoshan's body trembled on the spot, he really didn't expect that there would be so much attention to it: "Fifth uncle...... I...... I didn't mean to...... I really don't know these taboo......s!
The old man waved his hand generously: "It's okay, it's okay, you don't do this professionally, it's understandable and understandable, but you have to remember, you will return it as soon as you go back, where did you come from, where did you go, do you understand what I mean? Don't touch the bottom line of the country's law......"
"Understand understand understand ......" Zhang Zuoshan nodded busily, holding the four-cornered Tianzun and retreating in embarrassment.
Li Zuoshan and Li Zuofeng exited one after another, and the eyes of several people immediately fell on Pao Ye and Li Xiaoying, these two people are the same generation as the Zhang brothers, and it stands to reason that they should also prepare a meeting gift for Li Jialong.
The clansmen of the Li family usually look down on Li Xiaoying's family, and the Li family does business and opens factories, but this Li Xiaoying is the worst, if it weren't for the demolition and distribution of some money, I'm afraid the Li family would have forgotten Li Xiaoying's existence.
"Xiaoying, your two elder brothers have prepared a meeting gift for the fifth uncle, you won't come empty-handed, right?"
Pao Ye and Li Xiaoying glanced at each other, the Li brothers' Shoushan stone and bronze are considered to be high-end, but they were still found fault by Li Jialong, so the two of them became more and more unconfident in the gifts in their hands, and they were afraid that they would make some jokes after opening them.
"This box is a gift for the old man!" Someone saw the box in Pao Ye's hand: "Xiaoying, you two are not joking, are you? This box is too cheap! Only the small vendors on the antique street use this kind of cheapest box packaging, your gifts will not be taken back from the small roadside stalls!"
"You can't say that!"
The old man smiled kindly: "Chinese have the concept of courtesy, gifts do not care about the weight, but in the sense of affection, your gift represents your heart, it doesn't matter how much money you have, just get your heart!"
At this point, the cannon master simply stopped hiding it, and simply sent the gift box to the old man with both hands: "Old man, I don't know much about gifts, this is what a friend of mine helped to choose, as for what is inside, I don't know myself, my friend said to keep a suspense ......"
"Good, good!" The old man was obviously aroused, and immediately asked Professor Gao, who accompanied him, to open the gift box with ordinary packaging.
The gift box was opened, and the treasure in the box revealed the true face of Lushan.
Ornaments!
It is an ornament made up of three pieces, a transparent agate bowl, a sandalwood tray carved with a tiger's roar, and a finger-sized jade block.
The tiger roars sandalwood tray, and the carved agate bowl and a piece of emerald green jade are placed on the wooden tray.
Someone at the scene immediately saw the value of these things: "Master Pao! Who are you fooling? An agate bowl with modern craftsmanship and an ordinary wooden pallet, these two things add up to less than 800 yuan! That is, your piece of water cui is slightly worth the money, a thousand yuan! Even your box adds up to less than 2,000 yuan!"
Two thousand?
The scene suddenly became lively: "Master Pao! What are you doing here! We are here that is, you are a game of antiques, you are good! The gift you bought is only 2,000 yuan, you are bullying the old man and his eyes are not good, right?"
"I think the couple just came over with empty gloves and white wolves! If you don't have money, you can say it, we will give you money! Now the people of our Li family who are harming us will be embarrassed with you!"
The two brothers of the Li family here also scolded on the spot: "The two thousand yuan thing is really sent, I really feel ashamed for you!"
"You still have to maintain a sense of mystery, I bah! Li Xiaoying, your mystery is too scary!"
"This ......"
Pao Ye and Li Xiaoying looked at each other, the faces of the two of them were like earth, Li Xiaoying immediately asked Pao Ye: "What did I tell you, don't drop the price of the things you choose, is this how your brother plays with me?"
Pao Ye's face was also sweating: "I...... I don't know...... How could that kid Shen Qiu do such a thing, I obviously told him that it was good! Let him pick a good thing! I ......"
Just when the situation at the scene was about to get out of control, the old man waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet: "Don't say it, I said a long time ago, things are not about the high and low, but only about your opinion on things! Xiaoying! What do you and your wife think of this gift?"
"I ...... I don't understand antiques, we really don't pay enough attention to this matter, we are wrong......"
"I did it!" Pao Ye bluntly admitted his mistake: "I asked a brother to help me choose, and I am to blame for this! It has nothing to do with my daughter-in-law! If you want to scold, you can scold me! Do things by yourself and do things by yourself!"
"Hahahaha...... Hahahaha......"
The old man and Professor Gao burst into bursts of laughter: "You husband and wife have misunderstood what I mean, I will tell you now, among these gifts, my favorite is this set of ornaments! This ornament is so in line with my heart! I really like it!"
The old man's voice fell, and the Li family at the scene was dumbfounded: "I heard me right, right? The old man actually said that he liked this set of ornaments? These things add up to less than 2,000 yuan? The old man actually likes it?"
"I think these things are so ordinary, why did the old man like them?"
The old man also became more and more excited, and finally simply asked Professor Gao to explain the reason to everyone, only to see Professor Gao first hold up the agate bowl and say: "Although this agate bowl is a modern handicraft, it hides another unique meaning!"
The five elements of the old man belong to gold, and the wood lacks water, and the agate bowl bowl makes up for the old man's shortcomings from a certain angle! Everyone looks carefully at the opposite direction of these four Pixiu, and they are all unified in the direction of jade. ”
"This set of ornaments perfectly interprets the root of Pixiu's wealth and auspicious Amaterasu! It seems to be an ordinary combination, but the meaning inside is in line with people's wishes! The old man lacks water in the five elements, and this jade in the shape of water spots just makes up for this! I have to say that the master who designed this set of ornaments is really a powerful character!"
"Professor Gao, what you said is so mysterious, I can't figure it out, it's a coincidence!"
"Coincidence? It's not a coincidence! Absolutely not!" the old man pointed to the wooden pallet of the "Tiger Roaring Mountain Forest" on the table and said excitedly: "Look at this wooden pallet!"
