Chapter 639: Nine-Tailed Phoenix

Tan Lao smiled and took the jade pendant and lowered his head to look at it.

After a few seconds, the smile on his face faded.

His expression gradually became extremely serious.

He paused, reached out and took out a box from the inside pocket of his clothes, took out a professional treasure mirror from the box, and examined it carefully.

This time, I watched it for a long time, and I watched it for a minute.

Everyone was silent, looking at the treasure master quietly, not understanding why he was so serious about a stall in such poor condition.

Ding Kai was even more unhappy. Before, Du Xiaoke valued the stalls, why is this treasure master so interested in this jade pendant?

So, Ding Kai snorted coldly and said, "Old man, don't look at it, no matter how you look at it, this stall will not become a treasure of the imperial green glass species!"

Hearing this, Tan Lao did not respond immediately, but continued to look carefully.

After looking at it for about ten seconds, he put down the treasure mirror, raised his head, and said with a smile: "The texture of this jade is indeed not precious. The color is yang green, which is not as noble as imperial green, and it is an ice species, far less than the glass species. Therefore, when it comes to the jade itself, it is indeed not outstanding, and if you find a jade store, you can buy a lot of the same material or even better. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly sighed.

"Poof, Tan Lao has been looking at it for a long time, I thought this jade was some kind of rare object, but I didn't expect it to be a stall, and I laughed to death!"

"Yes, Tan Lao is so serious, I almost took it seriously. Tan Lao is really humorous!"

"I'll just say, what kind of good thing can that poor boy give? Even if it's Tan Lao, he can't see a flower, right?"

"Tan Lao is really dedicated, he can watch this broken jade for a long time, and it can be regarded as giving face to the Du family, haha"

The crowd laughed.

Ding Kai couldn't help laughing.

"Hahahaha Tan Lao is really a sincere person, this jade pendant itself is a stall bought by this kid, how precious can it be?" Ding Kai said with a smile.

However, just when Ding Kai smiled very proudly

Old Tan interrupted him by opening his mouth.

"No, no, no, I said that the texture of this jade is not good, but I didn't say that it is a worthless stall. On the contrary, this is an extremely rare antique, and its value is incalculable," Tan Lao said with a serious face.

As soon as Ding Kai heard this, his laughter stopped abruptly, and the whole person was a little stunned.

Not a stall?

Rare curios?

Immeasurable value?

What is the situation with this Nima!

Didn't this old man Tan just say that this jade was not of good quality and could be bought casually? Why did he suddenly say that this jade was a rare treasure?

Isn't that!

Ding Kai was a little unconvinced, and couldn't help but retort: "Old Tan, you're not right, right? Just now I said that this jade can be bought casually, and now I say that it is a rare antique? This is too!"

Tan Lao shook his head indifferently and said: "I said that you can buy it casually, I mean the texture of this jade, but this jade itself is an extremely rare antique with extremely high historical value. Do you understand that?"

Ding Kai pursed his lips and said, "Historical value, the texture is so bad, what historical value can it have? Old Tan, you can't deliberately relieve this kid, right?"

When Tan Lao heard this, he was a little unhappy, his eyes suddenly became a little stern, and he looked at Ding Kai and said, "Are you doubting my integrity and treasure appreciation level?"

Ding Kai froze suddenly.

You must know that although this Tan Lao is just an antique treasure connoisseur, because of his high attainments and fame, he has intersections with many noble figures in China. It's not something he can afford to provoke as a young master of the Ding family!

Therefore, Ding Kai was stunned, and quickly shook his head and apologized: "Uh, no, no, no, I didn't mean that, I'm just a little weird." ”

Tan Lao glanced at Ding Kai, then didn't look at him again, turned his head, and said, "I said that this jade is precious, naturally there is a reason. This jade is very old, and there is a thin layer of special enamel on the surface, which makes its pattern and shape slightly ambiguous, and it looks cheap and clumsy.

Moreover, if you look closely, you will find that the back of this jade Buddha is very rough and messy. If you don't know much about antiques, you may think that this is a poor carving, and think that this jade is even worse.

These two points are probably the main reasons why you think this thing is a stall.

However, as soon as I took a closer look, I found that the back of this jade Buddha is so rough precisely because the back is carved with extremely surprising lines. And the pattern of this pattern is the nine-tailed phoenix!"

Everyone was slightly startled, but they were all a little unconscious.

The phoenix of the Nine-Tails?

Nine-tails have heard of it, the nine-tailed demon fox.

Phoenix has also heard of it.

But what is the nine-tailed phoenix?

Tan Lao obviously also saw everyone's doubts.

He didn't wait for everyone to ask, and said directly: "In ancient China, etiquette was strict and complete, and there were some special patterns that could only be used by special people. For example, in the Ming Dynasty, the dragon was an extremely noble symbol, the three-clawed dragon represented the officials, the four-clawed dragon represented the prince, and the five-clawed dragon represented the emperor! At that time, only the emperor could use the five-clawed dragon pattern in the whole world, and the others, even if they played the emperor's role in a play, could only wear clothes with a four-clawed dragon tattoo. ”

Du Xiaoke listened, became more and more interested, and asked curiously: "Then, old man, what does the nine-tailed phoenix represent?"

Tan Lao touched his somewhat gray beard, smiled, and said, "Empress." Just like the five-clawed dragon, the nine-tailed phoenix can only be used by the queen. ”

Du Xiaoke was slightly stunned, a surprise appeared on his little face, and said, "You mean that this jade pendant is the ancient queen's thing?"

Tan Lao nodded and said with a smile: "Judging from the performance of this jade, the possibility of being a modern product can basically be eliminated. I can't tell the exact year, but I can say that it was at least hundreds of years ago. In that period, except for the queen, whoever dared to use the nine-tailed phoenix pattern was looking for death. Therefore, this jade Buddha is mostly something worn by the queen of a certain generation. Of course, this is something of great historical value, and in terms of value, it is really incalculable. ”

Du Xiaoke's eyes widened suddenly.

Even if it was her, she didn't expect that the things that Yang Tian gave her would be so precious.

And it's the queen!

As soon as he heard the word "queen", Du Xiaoke felt that it was great, this thing was perfect for him!

She suddenly became happier, thanked Mr. Tan, took the jade pendant, then turned around, looked at Yang Tian with a smile, handed him the jade pendant, and said, "I want you to put it on for me." ”
