I retracted my thoughts, and carefully looked at the Du Bohou Chen Cangwu in front of me, his eyebrows and eyes were indeed a bit like the middle-aged man a few years ago, I took out the 'two yellow orioles singing green willows' from the brocade box, as the so-called seeing things and thinking about people, I saw the days when Huang Lin was in high spirits, and my eyes were a little wet, I put the jade carving back into the brocade box and put it up, and returned it to Chen Cangwu, and asked, "Isn't Chen Ye looking for Zhang Wu to settle the old accounts of a few years ago?"

Chen Cangwu shook his head again and again, and said, "Where did Boss Wu say, if it was Boss Wu, it should be Boss Wu looking for me, old man, I picked up such a big leak as Boss Wu, but I haven't slept well for many days." ”

This time it was my turn to be stunned, pick up the leak, what do you mean, Chen Cangwu continued, "I have some foreign friends, one of them is working in the British David Auction Company, he invited me to participate in a private exchange meeting held by the company, the exchange meeting is attended by British celebrities and aristocrats and some foreign invited guests, participants need to bring their own more proud collections to come, each other can exchange bids on the favorite exhibits, David Company is responsible for the guarantee and handling procedures, and a certain percentage of the transaction amount is taken as a commission. ”

"My idea at the time was to see if I could meet the baby who was exiled from our country, and take it back for him, as for what to take out, it made me a little embarrassed, Boss Wu, you know, it's not that there is no treasure in our line, but the baby is too valuable, and it's just a matter of domestic circulation, and it's absolutely impossible to bring it abroad to those foreign devils,"

"I thought about it for many days, I didn't choose what to bring to the meeting, just when I was worried, Xiao Wu gave me a small talk and mentioned a thing, saying that recently there was a famous carver on the border of Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan, although the things made are not expensive, but the skills are superb, I listened to some curiosity, so I asked Xiao Wu to invite a friend in Xi'an who bought a stone carving to come and take a look. ”

"Boss Wu, it's not the old man who is talking big, I have been in Changle Palace for more than 30 years, and I have seen countless jade carvings, all dynasties and generations, and the rough ones, I can see it with my eyes. ”

"Said to be a stone carving, had to hide from people who don't understand, the first time I saw something, I knew that this is not a stone carving at all, but a jade carving, although the quality of the jade is very poor, but no matter how bad it is, the carving of the jade carving is extremely round, not like a knife cutting, but like a palm gently kneaded out, the country has taken a jade card of more than 8 million, when all walks of life blew the jade card to the sky, I have also deliberately went to see, to Boss Wu you sell the piece compared to, I am afraid that the carving is more than three times better than it. ”

"I made a decision at that time, and arranged for Xiao Wu to find a relationship to contact Boss Wu, and you also know what happened later, Boss Wu, I couldn't put it down after I took this treasure, and you also sent us to the door of the store, but Boss Wu didn't know anything, Xiao Wu was born with a pair of ears with sensitive hearing, and after we went away, you smiled and scolded us, Xiao Wu told me. ”

I had a slight burn on my face, and I thought that people didn't know it, who knew that people were too lazy to take care of you, I was embarrassed to apologize to Chen Cangwu, Chen Cangwu raised his hand to stop me, said that it was okay, and continued to preach to us, "Later, I took this jade carving to participate in the exchange meeting held by Daweide, the level of the exchange meeting is indeed high, and the value of the collectibles taken out by the participants is basically more than one million pounds, but it is a pity that I did not see the exhibits of our country's outflow." ”

"After we finished looking at the exhibits of the British, the person in charge of Daweide introduced us to others, the only guest invited from China, I remembered that I was not only here to see, but also to exhibit, I was a little embarrassed to think of this, people took out the collection equivalent to tens of millions of yuan, I brought a gadget from Boss Wu that you bought for 500,000 yuan, this one is not to be laughed at by foreign devils. ”

"But the joke can't be helped, who let me not think about it so much in advance, I asked Xiao Wu to take out this jade carving, what I never expected was that the jade carving just put on the booth, not only did it laugh as imagined, but after a short silence, the whole exchange will be sensational. ”

The foreign devils shouted that Emei should rush up to watch, David hurried to deploy security forces to protect the exhibits, this time it was our turn to be dumbfounded, in fact, there is nothing to be confused about, as long as it is in line with foreign national conditions to think about it, you can understand what is going on. ”

"We have been playing antiques for too long in China, and have developed a lot of default rules, a simple piece of jade, we get it in our hands, the first thing to look at is the material, followed by the age, the carver is placed at the end, Han Badao is simple, what price to get on the market, modern jade carving is exquisite, and what is the price, we take this way of value judgment as a habit, but ignore the difference between foreigners and ours. ”

"You can think about the exhibits in foreign museums, the Louvre in France, the Hermitage in Russia, Sengenberg in Germany, and the British Museum in the United Kingdom. In the fifteenth century, that is, our Ming Dynasty period, the things of the Ming and Qing dynasties were cheap in antiques, just because the age was close, but foreigners were different, they chose a painting from the fifteenth century as the treasure of the town, to put it bluntly, they admired not antiques, but art. ”

"Most of the Renaissance collections are priceless, not because of the age, but because of the artistry that cannot be replicated, I said, our jade carving is more than three times better than the first-class master, but this is our Chinese metaphorical technique, take Mount Everest as an example, theoretically can there be a higher mountain than it? Of course you can, but in fact, there is, no, so I took out this jade carving, is to embody the theoretically higher peak, and it should cause a sensation. ”

"The focus of the whole exchange meeting was focused on the jade sculpture of Huang Li Mingliu, no one was interested in other exhibits at all, that night, this jade sculpture was pushed to the price of eight million pounds by the British nobles, they were willing to pay, but what did I come for, didn't I come to buy back the national treasure of China's outflow, and I came out with Huang Li Mingliu because I didn't find its preciousness, and now that I know its value, it is impossible to leave this thing abroad, eight million pounds, hum, buy the dignity of the Chinese." ？”

"Although the participants felt that it was a pity, Daweide Company still sent a special person to escort us back to China, this jade carving was later placed by me in the safety vault of Changle Palace, knowing that I saw you today, I deliberately took it out, one to set up the old relationship with Boss Wu, and the other to make up for Boss Wu, so as not to lose too much to Boss Wu. ”

Chen Cangwu handed the jade carving to the people around him, I looked at his appearance, it seemed to be the original guest, that is, Xiao Wu in Chen Cangwu's mouth, I watched Xiao Wu carefully put the jade carving of the yellow oriole Mingliu into the brocade box, his eyes were also a little gloomy, I said to Chen Cangwu, "Master Chen, collect it, this thing will only grow in the future, and it will eventually become a national treasure." ”

Chen Cangwu looked at me with a strange expression, he hesitated, "Boss Wu said this, this thing is precious, but it is difficult to guarantee that the master who made this thing will not have a higher level of work in the future, even if there is no breakthrough, such a modern handicraft I don't know how many will be, it is said that the national treasure is a little too much." ”

I sighed and said, "Master Chen, the goods were released from me, no one knows better than me, your piece is a master's disgusting work, other than that, it is all mortal, and the most important thing is the master. has passed away, this craft, since then it has become a resound, in addition to a relic in my hand, Chen Ye you this piece, is the only treasure in the world, how about the carving, Chen Ye has a vision than me, you and I have a lifetime, I am afraid that I will never see this magic skill again. ”

Of course, Huang Lin is not dead, but it is no different from death, his brain is no longer good, and the method of boiling jade is indeed extinct, rather than saying that he is alive to endure the harassment of the world, it is better to say that he is dead, so as to avoid those unnecessary troubles.

Chen Cangwu was taken aback when he heard that the master had passed away, and said hurriedly, "How can this be, I also told Xiao Wu that after this operation, I will go back to Linzhou with Boss Wu to visit the master, how can I... Alas, God is jealous of talents, how early sages have been, I only hate that I failed to ask for help at the beginning, and missed the opportunity to meet the master. ”

Chen Cangwu sighed a few words, and arranged for Xiao Wu to put the yellow oriole Mingliu back, Xiao Wu didn't have time to move, Chen Cangwu stopped him, thought about it, and sent the people who arranged to greet me to Xiao Wu, it seems that he also figured out the value of this jade carving, if it wasn't for me to hang here, I think he would personally send the treasure back to the library.

Chen Cangwu watched Xiao Wu disappear from sight, Liang Hui and Liang Qian and their three brothers and sisters also arrived, Liang Hui clasped his fists at me, and said loudly, "Liang Hui first thanked Boss Wu for saving his sister, I won't say anything superfluous, in the future, Boss Wu will be my brother Liang, if you have orders, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, Liang will not frown!"

I returned the salute and said with a smile, "Master Liang has said it, I just did it casually, I don't need to mention it again to repay the favor or something, I appreciate Master Liang's masculinity, and I will have a few drinks with Master Liang later, Master Chen, we can't always stand here, right?"

Chen Cangwu has been in the same place since I asked me to understand the value of Huang Li's singing willows, I opened my mouth to remind, he came back to his senses, his face was full of smiles again, and said, "Yes, yes, Boss Wu is right, I was rude, Master Liang, you are responsible for leading the way, Boss Wu, please!"

Liang Hui walked in front, Chen Cangwu and I walked side by side in second place, followed by the Liang brothers and sisters and the people I brought, and a group of people crossed the gate of Changle Palace in the sound of talking and laughing.
