Chapter 266: Understanding

What is the source of this discomfort?

Lu Zi'an was very sure that it was the first time he had seen this piece of jade.

He looked at it with a slight frown, and turned to get the towel.

After wiping his fingers clean, he reached out and picked up the piece of jade.

This is not a mill.

Xuan, the jade in the mouth of the deceased.

Mouth-filled items include beads, shellfish, jade, coins, etc., but the most commonly used is cicada-shaped jade.

One is to take the noble righteousness of the cicada;

The second is that the cicada chrysalis becomes a cicada, like the soul of the deceased begins a new life.

It was recorded in "The Biography of Qu Yuan": The cicada is molted in turbidity, floating outside the dust, and does not gain the dirt of the world.

Under the influence of the concept of "a gentleman does not go to the body without a reason", the jade cicada, which symbolizes nobility, is more widely welcomed.

The general jade cicada ornaments are perforated, and if they are non-porous, they may be jade.

And the jade ornament of the word Shou in front of him, there is a large hole on both sides, you can wear a strip, you can also hang a hook head, and it is a waist ornament from the shape of the system.

In the center is the character Shou, and a turtle is carved in front of the circular bamboo ring on the lower layer, and there is Ganoderma lucidum next to it.

The turtle mouth spits cloud smoke, and the right side of the word longevity is a crane.

Turtles, cranes, and Ganoderma lucidum all contain the meaning of longevity, and the middle part highlights the theme with the word "longevity" carved in the middle, and borrows the bamboo with the same sound as the word "Zhu", and generally contains the meaning of "the immortals wish longevity".

Lu Zi'an slowly rubbed the jade ornament, thoughtful.

It didn't take long for Qu Dole to arrive.

After she came in, she wiped her sweat and smiled at Lu Zi'an: "Master Lu, thank you, I'll take the safe away first!"

"Wait a minute. Lu Zi'an sat at the table, with her piece of jade in front of him: "Come here." ”

She's in a hurry......

Although it was a little strange, Qu Duoduo still subconsciously walked over: "What's wrong?"

"You jade ......" Lu Zi'an pointed to the jade ornament, his eyebrows slightly locked: "You see if this is your family?"

Qu Duo calmed his breath and glanced at him with some hesitation before fixing his gaze on the jade ornament.

Exquisite carving, double-layer carving and openwork, such skills are extremely rare, and this is ancient jade, the shape is very unique, it is a rare top grade.

She confirmed again and again before she nodded: "Yes, it's this piece of jade, what's wrong?"

Lu Zi'an couldn't be very sure, his fingertips tapped lightly on the tabletop, and he glanced at her before saying, "This jade ...... I feel like there's something wrong. ”

Questions?

Qu Duo was stunned for a moment.

She looked at the jade blankly, and stammered: "No, it's impossible, Master Lu, could it be, could it be that you are wrong...... This is what my grandmother left for my mother, and I didn't even give it to my uncle...... They ......"

"I don't know much about jade either, I just feel like it's very wrong. Lu Zi'an frowned and thought for a while, and muttered, "Hmm...... Maybe it's more appropriate to say that it's intuitive? Did your grandmother say what dynasty this jade belonged to?"

Dynasty......

Qu Duoduo nodded eagerly: "Yes, some have said, grandma said that this is the ...... of the Song Dynasty"

Song dynasty.

Lu Zi'an did not reply immediately, but lowered his eyes and pondered.

His fingertips tapped lightly on the tabletop, and the sound seemed to hit Qu Duoduo's heart.

Finally, he stopped.

Lu Zi'an looked at Qu Duo Duo gently, and said calmly: "The jade of the Song Dynasty highlights the word "Qiao", and it is better to make good use of the pattern of multiple animals and plant patterns that are combined to set off each other, so it is still possible to say that this jade ornament is from the Song Dynasty, but it is relatively rare, but I still recommend that you go to a professional to identify it." ”

Although he couldn't tell whether it was real or fake, his intuition told him that this jade didn't look real.

Coming out of the Lu family, Qu Duoduo was still in a state of confusion.

Originally, she was going to leave the jade here with Lu Zi'an, but she went back with the safe and asked her uncle to fight for them, but now she was a little shaken.

If Lu Zian didn't have a certain certainty, he would never say such a thing.

He himself is a master woodcarver, and it is normal that he does not know much about jade, but the master's intuition is sometimes more terrifying than that of an appraiser.

It's not so much intuition as understanding.

She sat in the car and hesitated for a long time, but finally turned around and went to the house of a respected old gentleman.

Eventually, with the final conclusion in hand, she returned home in a daze.

Her mother was crying again, her uncle and aunt were making a fuss, and the chickens and dogs were restless.

Seeing her come back with the safe, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up and rushed directly towards her.

"Don't move!" Qu Duo suddenly came back to his senses and held the safe high: "If you dare to rob me, you will drop it, no one wants it!"

"Hey, don't, doo, we have something to say. ”

Qu Duo Duo recalled the teacher's affirmative expression, and his heart was crossed: "I don't want to entangle with you anymore, in this way, you make a note, after this jade is returned to you, you will never come to us again, and we will not care what you do with this jade." ”

Her mother stared at her in a hurry, but she couldn't speak.

The uncle nodded in surprise, and hurriedly took out a pen and paper at her prompting, and wrote it so quickly.

Seeing that several of them had pressed their fingers to mark and sign, Qu Duo Duo put the safe on the table with an indifferent expression: "You all confirm that this is indeed my grandma's piece of jade." ”

After careful study by several people, even the cracks were compared, and the uncles walked away with pride.

Father Qu looked at all this dumbfounded, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything, sighed, and comforted his wife in a low voice.

When they were all gone, Qu Dodo sat back on the couch.

Her mother sat across from her, looking at her in a daze, her eyes full of sadness, as if she was puzzled and questioned.

"Mom, that piece of jade...... Did Grandma tell you...... Is it fake?" Qu Duoduo did not hesitate, and directly said what happened just now: "After arguing for so long, it is enough, if this is a piece of real jade, I will definitely fight with my uncle for the sake of grandma, but in the end, this is a fake, there is no need to quarrel anymore, if you are really reluctant, after their uncle sells it, I will buy it back for you." ”

Anyway, it's fake, and no one will treat it as a treasure and be reluctant to make a move.

After making sure again and again that it was a fake, Qu's father and Qu's mother were dumbfounded.

"The master said that it was a piece of leftovers, I don't know why my uncle was so sure that it was worth a fortune, but what I can be sure of is that it is indeed fake, not from the Song Dynasty, not even from the Ming and Qing dynasties, it should be a modern craft, although it is also jade, but the total value will not exceed 20,000. ”

In order to appease Qu's mother, Qu's father thought about it, got up and took a low stool from the back room.

As soon as she opened it, Qu Duoduo was frightened.

When the stool was opened, six pieces of warm jade lay quietly in it, which was usually stuffed under her father's table as a footstool, and her aunt and uncle had searched everywhere and never touched it.

"Ahem, actually, I wanted to say it for a long time...... Forget the jade for them, I really can't stand it in the past few years, so I asked people everywhere to find some jade back. Boss Qu glanced at his wife, saw her with tears in his eyes, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's just that I haven't been looking for a suitable jade carving master, so I haven't taken it out......"

If he is famous, he can't climb it, and if he is not famous, he is worried about ruining the jade, so he has been putting it on hold.

Qu Duo looked through it, she couldn't recognize the real fake, but it looked very good, at least it was comfortable to the touch.

She thought about it for a moment and said with some hesitation: "...... Dad, what do you think, how is Master Lu?"
