Chapter 86: Gifting
"Thank you, Mr. Shi. Ye Shikai replied with a smile, listening to his mother say that this name was taken by his father who died when he was young, as if there was a fortune teller saying that this child must be a dragon and phoenix among people in the future, although I don't know if it's true or not, but it's more or less an auspicious meaning.
"Young man, you picked a gift for your wife, right, so let's show you. The old man gently patted Ye Shikai on the back.
"Then it's a trouble for the old man. Ye Shikai said with a smile, he didn't refuse, there was a connoisseur with him, believing that he would definitely be able to buy a satisfactory gift.
The two walked for a long time, and the old man introduced many exquisite jade ornaments to Ye Shikai, including some high-quality jade ornaments, of course, the price is also quite expensive, but Ye Shikai looked at it for a long time, although these jade ornaments are of the highest quality, but they are all nothing new, and they can be bought by a rich son, and the gift he gave to Su Tianyu must be eye-catching.
"I didn't expect you to have a very high vision, you deserve to be knowledgeable. The two walked around for a long time, the old man was a little tired, picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of water, and said to Ye Shikai, the old man could see from Ye Shikai's eyes that he definitely didn't mean to entertain himself, but was really dissatisfied with these.
"Where is the knowledge, but my wife, she ...... The vision is very high. Ye Shikai scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and thought for a long time before he came up with a reason, alas, it is really grinding to give a gift.
"yes, which lady is it? The old man smiled.
"Uh...... Everyone is really beautiful, so I don't know what to buy. ”
"That's right, girls nowadays are very demanding. The old man nodded approvingly, and suddenly, the old man said with some excitement, "Come, you and I will come for a while." After speaking, he made a gesture like Ye Shikai and motioned for him to come over.
Although he didn't know what the old man was going to do, Ye Shikai still followed, and the old man took him to a small room, slowly took out a box from the cabinet, carefully placed it on the table, and slowly opened it.
"Mr. Shi, this is ......" Ye Shikai's eyes stared at the box tightly, and the old man slowly opened it, as if there was a sense of ritual, but this also showed the importance of the things in the box, it was estimated that it was a treasure collected by the old man.
When the old man opened the box completely, a string of phoenix jade pendants appeared in front of his eyes, the jade was mutton fat white jade, Ye Shikai couldn't help but exclaim, the jade was crystal white, delicate and moisturizing, without a little impurity, it was the best at a glance, and the color was uniform, the whole pendant was integrated, as if it was born, Ye Shikai took the magnifying glass handed over by the old man, and carefully observed the carving of the pendant, which was extremely exquisite, and there was a gentle feeling to the touch.
"How about this pendant. The old man asked with a smile.
"Impeccably clean. Ye Shikai asked himself and replied, no matter how you look at it, this pendant has no flaws.
"Hehe, this pendant was fortunate enough to get when I was young, not only is the jade quality excellent, the carving is exquisite, but more importantly, it is also an antique. ”
"Antiques?" Ye Shikai asked.
"That's right, Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty loved jade as much as his life, and he was obsessed with jade, and he once ordered people to look for good jade in places such as Hetian, and this pendant is one of Qianlong's collections. The old man told the story of this pendant, and Ye Shikai listened to it very fascinated.
"This pendant, I have always regarded it as one of the treasures of the town store, and it is not sold to the public. The old man said, Ye Shikai also understood this, the old man himself is also a collector, like this kind of good goods, of course, he kept it for himself.
Thinking of this, Ye Shikai suddenly seemed to be reminded, and slowly took out something from his pocket, "Mr. Shi, look at this." Ye Shikai handed the things in his hand to the old man and smiled meaningfully.
"What is this?" the old man took it steadily, observing it carefully.
"This is the unicorn pendant at the auction. The old man exclaimed, over the past few decades, he has seen many antiques and jade, and there are really not many who can enter his eyes, but when he saw this pendant, the old man couldn't help but cry out.
"Yes, exactly. ”
The old man took a magnifying glass and looked at it carefully for a few minutes, the green surface seemed to glow with a faint green light under the illumination of the light, and the old man opened his eyes wide and looked at Ye Shikai incredulously.
"Didn't this pendant be photographed by Miss Luo, how could it be here with you. Through observation, the old man judged that this pendant was genuine, so he asked curiously, he was on the scene at the last auction, and this pendant was indeed auctioned by Luo Shiqi.
"yes, but then she ...... Gave it to me. ”
"Haha, it seems that you are the mysterious man in the newspaper. The old man smiled, no wonder he looked at Ye Shikai a little familiar, it turned out to be really the person in the news.
"Well, mysterious, I'm just an ordinary person. Ye Shikai scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"Ordinary people, hehe, Miss Luo will give such a precious thing to an ordinary person. The old man looked at Ye Shikai meaningfully, not only the old man, no matter who it was, I am afraid he would not believe that he was an ordinary person, didn't Han Ruoyao say that he had become a "celebrity" in Yanjing's upper class.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that, let's talk about this pendant. Ye Shikai changed the topic, "How about this pendant." ”
"Yes, imperial green is not blown, looking at the color, the purity of green, 100 million can be said to be worth the price. The old man nodded, showed a relieved expression, put the two pendants in his hand, and continued, "This unicorn pendant and this phoenix pendant are really a natural pair." ”
The old man looked at the two pendants, fell into deep thought, as if he was thinking about something, Ye Shikai was not easy to disturb, after a few minutes, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Ye Shikai, "This phoenix pendant, if you like it, I will give it to you today." ”
"What. Ye Shikai called out again, and he even wondered if he had heard it wrong, the old man actually wanted to give him the phoenix pendant that he regarded as a treasure, an hour ago, the two were still strangers.
"I said, this phoenix pendant, I will give it to you. The old man said again and firmly.
"How can this be done, this is your treasure. Ye Shikai shook his head violently, although happiness came too suddenly, he hadn't fainted yet, not to mention that the gentleman was not loved by many people.
"It's because this pendant is my treasure that I want to give it a good home. The old man smiled and said, "When I was young, a monk gave me this pendant and said, if you meet someone who is destined in the future, give it away, and if you don't meet someone who is destined, keep it." ”
The old man looked at Ye Shikai and said firmly, "You are the one who is destined." ”
