Chapter 28: The Meaning of the Bracelet
Insight into treasure Zhai.
The receptionist at the front desk was a girl in her twenties, quite attractive. Seeing that the flute in the hands of the two of them was not ordinary, he asked, "You two, are you going to sell something?"
Li Yunfeng nodded.
"Please follow me. The girl led Li Yunfeng to the innermost part of the store, an old man in his fifties, who was silently drinking tea and reading a book.
"Elder Zheng, someone sells something. The reception girl smiled and said, "This is the treasure master of our store, you can show him what you want to sell." ”
"Hehe, young man, we are famous for our wisdom and wisdom, the price is fair, and Tong Su is not bullied, as long as your things are good, I guarantee that we can give you a suitable price. Elder Zheng put down the book in his hand and smiled at the two of them.
"Trouble. Li Yunfeng walked up to Zheng Lao, handed the flute to the other party, and then he looked at the shop, the decoration was extremely luxurious, and many shelves displayed various antiques.
Zheng Lao looked at it carefully for a while, and said with a smile: "Hehe, the value of this flute is 300,000 yuan?"
"Huh, this is ......."
Zhao Yifei was also looking at all kinds of antiques, and when she heard the price, she immediately opened her tempting mouth in surprise.
"Wow, we're rich, we sold our flutes?" she asked Li Yunfeng, who shook his head.
Li Yunfeng smiled slightly and said: "This is the material of blood-silk jade, this jade is a treasure in blood-silk jade, this jade is produced in Penglai, can adjust feng shui, calm the mind, and because it has the six virtues of fine, clean, moist, greasy, warm, condensing and other jade, it is called "imperial jade", and has become the national jade of the Qing Dynasty court's silk and bamboo wind music. ”
According to historical records, the governor of Shandong in the Qing Dynasty carved the "Heart-Nourishing Jade Seal" with a whole piece of high-quality blood-silk jade, which was regarded as a treasure by Emperor Qianlong, and passed down from generation to generation in the Qing Dynasty; when Emperor Xianfeng was dying, he gave Cixi a royal seal; and when the last dynasty was dissolved, Puyi did not want all the treasures, but only sewed the "Heart-Nourishing Jade Seal" into his clothes. As for the folk legend, it is the jade left by the masters of Penglai Xianshan in the world, and it is said that it is a monk who has attained the Tao for a long time, and it is also said that the blood silk jade can drive away disasters and avoid evil, and the contact person can calm down and concentrate on life, and prolong life......
In short, this kind of blood jade is very precious, more expensive than gold, in ancient times there was a saying of "one or two blood jade three taels of gold", it is conceivable that the value of this blood jade. As for the superior blood-silk jade...... That's a priceless treasure, and I didn't even buy it if I had the money!
Li Yunfeng said to Zhao Yifei: "This flute is made of blood-silk jade, even if it is a low-grade blood-silk jade, it is a treasure today! Of course it is not sold at a low price!"
Zhao Yifei felt very excited, and said to Zheng Lao: "Let's inquire about the price first, and if we think it's appropriate, we will consider selling it!"
Zheng Lao took a powerful flashlight and turned on the light. Suddenly, the material of the flute is more perfect, the texture is very delicate, the surface is warm and smooth, it looks clear and clear, and what is more attractive is that the lines in the jade are faintly bloodshot, which is very magical.
"It's indeed blood-threaded jade, the price is negotiable, 1 million?" Zheng Lao felt that the other party might also understand something, so he immediately raised the price.
Zhao Yifei's eyes widened, looking at the flute, her little fists were clenched tightly, her face was flushed, her pocket money was only tens of thousands a month.
Zheng Lao sighed: "It's a pity, it's ......"
Zhao Yifei paused for a moment and asked, "Old Zheng, what is the pity?"
Zheng Lao sighed: "The carving of this piece of blood jade is very good, very exquisite, and delicate. Definitely the work of master carvers. Judging from the texture, it should be a product of the Song Dynasty. It's a pity that this producer's seal is blurred, it is not a high-quality blood-silk jade, if it is a high-quality one, this flute is a priceless treasure. ”
Zhao Yifei sneered: "You should be content when you are old, it is already very luxurious to make a flute with blood-silk jade, which is rare in the world, and the best grade is so easy to see." ”
"Yes. Zheng Lao smiled and shook his head, and then the two of them: "Little brother, how much do you plan to sell this flute......?"
But before he could finish speaking, Zhao Yifei immediately interjected: "Old Zheng, let's consider this price, and the inquiry is also about shopping around!"
Zhao Yifei winked at Li Yunfeng and said, "Let's go to another house and have a look?"
"3 million? If you sell it sincerely, think about it! Blood-silk jade is indeed relatively rare in China, and it has a strong collection value, and this kind of art cannot be measured by money, but we are always doing business, and we must always have a suitable price, so let's give three million! No matter how much it is, it really won't work!" Zheng Lao finally gritted his teeth and said.
Li Yunfeng and Zhao Yifei looked at each other, and they both saw the excitement in each other's eyes. In the end, the deal didn't work out.
Zheng Lao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "By the way, little brother, do you have any other collections?" his eyes were eager. But I didn't know that this was just bought for 300 yuan, otherwise I was afraid that I would be shocked and vomit blood.
Looking at the old man's fiery eyes, Li Yunfeng asked strangely, "What's wrong?"
"Hehe, if you have any good things in the future, just come to our store. Zheng Lao took out two business cards and said, "If the flute is ready to be sold, welcome to come to our store again, the price can be contacted by phone, everything is negotiable." ”
Li Yunfeng smiled: "Yes, I remember." But he was snickering in his heart.
Because Zhao Yifei had just played the flute, coupled with her beauty, there were naturally a lot of people who paid attention, and it didn't take long for the entire shopping area and the scattered area to be a sensation, saying that a flute was three million, and the seller did not agree to sell it.
............
"Zhou Bapi, have you heard, a man and a woman sell flutes, and someone bid three million and didn't sell them!" said the owner of a nearby stall in Zhou Bapi.
"Hehe, how could I not hear it? Don't you see the whole market spreading. Zhou Bapi said with a smile, this Zhou Bapi is the boss who sells Li Yun's bagpipes.
"But no, now there are fewer and fewer blood-silk jades, and there are fewer and fewer good carvers, and this thing is steadily appreciating...... Zhou Bapi, look, did that kid buy your flute before?"
Zhou Bapi looked in the direction of his finger, and saw Li Yunfeng and Zhao Yifei walking around the market, and said with a smile: "That's right, that's it!" Seeing the two passing by, he immediately smiled and said: "Little brother, here you go again, is that flute still useful?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Li Yunfeng greeted with a smile, but regretted in his heart: why did he come to this passage again......
He was worried, the flute was bought from this boss's stall, if the boss knew that the 300 yuan flute was sold by someone for 3 million yuan, would the boss be anxious?
"It's their flute, and it's been offered 3 million yuan!" At this time, a voice came.
Li Yunfeng broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead, and secretly glanced at Zhou Bapi, the latter's face was full of shock, his eyes were almost red, he secretly said that something was wrong, and pulled Zhao Yifei to run away.
"Zhou Bapi, the 3 million yuan blood-silk jade flute that went viral in the market, it seems that in the hands of this kid, could it be that you sold it to him?"
The shopkeeper next to Zhou Bapi looked stunned and muttered: "If you think about it carefully, it seems that it really is, I'll go! This kid picked up a big leak......
But he didn't hear Zhou Bapi's response for a long time, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that Zhou Bapi's face was distorted, his eyes were red, and his whole body was shaking, as if he was epileptic.
"Zhou Bapi, Zhou Bapi, what's wrong with you?" exclaimed the shopkeeper.
Zhou Bapi clenched his fists, his eyes were blood-red, and his voice was extremely unwilling, and he said: "The 3 million yuan thing actually made me sell it for 300 yuan......
The two of them made noise with each other for a long time, both regretting and laughing at themselves.
............
Avoiding the area where Zhou Bapi was located, Li Yunfeng and Zhao Yifei kept walking in the flow of people, constantly shuttling and staying.
Beauty is like jade, beauty loves jade, Zhao Yifei's knowledge of ancient jade is also extremely rich, and the common sense of ancient jade in various eras is like a treasure, and Li Yunfeng admired it when he said it casually. Not long after, the two of them came to the jade area again, and Li Yunfeng played the role of a good student and kept asking questions.
Zhao Yifei said with a smile: "Ancient jade is a general name for ancient beautiful stones, which has the advantages of delicate texture, moist color, luster and smoothness. People's special preference for jade has existed since ancient times. In ancient times, there was a saying that 'the gentleman does not go to the ancient jade for no reason, and the gentleman and the jade are deed'. The warm color symbolizes benevolence, the hard texture symbolizes wisdom, and the edges and corners do not hurt people, indicating fairness and justice. In the world, jade can protect the body and drive away evil spirits, representing righteousness and spirituality......"
While speaking, Zhao Yifei picked up a Buddha statue and jade from a stall. Li Yunfeng looked carefully, the whole body of the Buddha statue was dark and green, with a total of nine carving traces, forming a vein.
"Buddha statue is one of the nine holes of jade, carved with nine knives, is the carving method of imitation Han nine knives, but the carving of the person made a fuss, the Han nine knives are not necessarily nine knives, but pay attention to the knife concise, the carving knife method is vigorous, sharp, its style is vigorous and broad, natural and bold. Zhao Yifei pointed to the carving marks on the Buddha statue and said: "You see how childish this carver is, he doesn't have the wild temperament of Han Jiudao at all, and he paints the scoop according to the gourd." Look at the color of this piece of jade, it is good to pay attention to transparency and crystalline, and the texture is symmetrical, but this piece is obviously turbid, there is no sense of transparency, and it is too greasy, it is obviously an object made of secondary jade, and then polished, and then coated with a layer of paraffin. It smells of chemicals. ”
Li Yunfeng smelled it, and there was really a smell of chemical agents on the Buddha statue, and said: "Xueba, you, you are still the discerning Guanyin Bodhisattva!"
Zhao Yifei glanced at him: "You're not bad! You think I don't know, you deliberately tested me!"
She pointed to the blood-colored lines on the Buddha statue and said, "If you look at the blood in the ancient jade, it is formed by the jade stained with blood for a long time. The blood on this Buddha statue is naturally man-made, it is carved jade and implanted into a living animal, and then sewn it with thread, and after a few years, it will become the same texture as the blood Qin. However, this jade is not tepid. ”
Li Yunfeng continued: "Yes! This is a method of identifying ancient jade, as well as the 'dripping' water method, the fire roasting method, the tongue 'licking' method, and the color 'method'......"
The two of them exchanged their experiences with each other, and even the owner of the stall was shocked, and his face was sluggish.
Finally, when the two finished speaking, the boss was surprised: "Young man, your girlfriend is amazing! I haven't known as much as she has been in business for more than 20 years, it's amazing!"
Li Yunfeng smiled: "Boss, you have a good eye!"
Zhao Yifei was embarrassed: "We are not boyfriend and girlfriend, don't say it casually." ”
The boss was surprised: "Just standing together, you are a natural pair, no matter how you look at it, you look like lovers." ”
Not to mention, the two are talented and beautiful, and they interact and joke and gag from time to time, which really looks like a couple.
"Hehe, the future was predicted by you in advance, and the girl is thin-skinned. Li Yunfeng said with a wry smile.
Zhao Yifei's face was indeed flushed, embarrassed, and she no longer had the confident appearance she had before.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, the boss was also a little embarrassed, looked at the two, and suddenly smiled: "I see that you are both very interested in jade, why don't you buy a jewelry from me, I just came in with good goods, I didn't have time to put it out today, the texture of the jade is good, the workmanship is also very good, it is very beautiful to wear, rest assured, I will give you a preferential price." ”
Seeing Zhao Yifei's red face, Li Yunfeng followed the boss's words and said, "Then take it out and take a look!"
The boss smiled innocently, took out several delicate small wooden boxes from the safe of the stall, put them on the stall, and opened all the lids of the boxes. There are all kinds of wearing jewelry, there are pendants, bracelets, bracelets, etc., a dazzling array of workmanship, the workmanship is very fine, and it is also very beautiful, so according to their own preferences, pick out two bracelets at will.
Both bracelets are composed of 18 jade pieces, which are blue and green in color, and look full of meaning. One of the bracelets is simple and engraved with the image of a lotus flower. The other string of jade bracelets is more exquisite, each jade piece is carved with different flowers, and it is embossed, which looks beautiful.
"Yifei, how about you take a look at these two bracelets?" Li Yunfeng handed the two boxes to Zhao Yifei, and the girl stayed in these two sights for the longest time.
Zhao Yifei blushed and glanced up: "It's very beautiful! Who are you going to send? I can help you with your staff!"
Li Yunfeng seemed to hear the command, and immediately said: "Boss, wrap these two bracelets, I want them." ”
The boss quickly packed it, handed it to Li Yunfeng, and said: "You are all experts, I won't talk about the false price, two bracelets, 6,000 yuan." ”
Li Yunfeng paid directly, then put the bracelet in Zhao Yifei's hand, and said, "You said it was beautiful, of course I want to give it to you!"
"Oh, hey, he said that he wasn't a couple, he even gave a bracelet, what is it if he wasn't a couple?"
As soon as she heard this, Zhao Yifei's face turned even redder, like a ripe red apple, very cute, holding the box, pulling Li Yunfeng's sleeve, and quickly left.
The boss immediately laughed louder: "Hahaha...... The little girl's skin is quite thin...... Welcome to your next visit!"
Because there were classes in the afternoon, the two did not continue to walk, and on the way back, the two had their own thoughts.
"Hey, no......" Li Yunfeng suddenly thought: Bracelets are homophonic and keep love, and giving bracelets between men and women is usually an expression of love, and usually couples will give this thing.
