009: Red Mountain Ancient Jade
"This ......"
Wang Hao sensitively felt that this jade was not simple.
Zhou You was calm and asked, "This is your thing, you should know where it came from." β
Wang Hao thought hard for a while, and only after a long time did he give a vague answer: "I remember that my grandfather was a very famous archaeological expert, but he was criticized during the chaos, and I haven't seen him get any antiques later, so I guess this thing is something that my grandfather left to his children and grandchildren." The reason why I chose to major in archaeology is also partly due to my grandfather. β
Zhou You asked, "Where is your grandfather?"
A confused look flashed on Wang Hao's face, and he replied casually: "Let's go, I left quietly when I was just in college, and I didn't even have a chance to come back to listen to his last words." β
Zhou You apologized: "I'm sorry!"
Wang Hao shook his head violently and said, "This shape is very similar to ancient jade, and it is a bit similar to the Hongshan culture that the old old man said. You're an old-fashioned proud student, palm your eyes. β
Zhou You knew that this thing was worth a lot of money, and after taking it carefully, the whole person was stupid.
Every time Zhou You uses the ability, there will be a little bit of a feeling like being electrified, but this feeling is very slight, not even the faintest static electricity, after tasting more than a dozen electric shock encounters, Zhou You is familiar with this weak current, the reaction is no longer as fierce as before, and even can fully adapt to this feeling, calmly.
This time, however, Travel's ability was automatically activated without him initiating it, and it was more intense than any time before. It's a feeling of reunion after a long absence, or love at first sight, and it's magical.
The most bizarre thing is that Zhou You actually felt a mysterious power similar to a strange ability in the ancient jade in his hand. When Zhou You's ability entered the ancient jade, the mysterious power in the ancient jade instantly erupted into a strong agitation, as if resisting, as if repulsing, but the power of the ability was much stronger than the mysterious power in the ancient jade, and the mysterious power in the ancient jade was directly devoured in an instant, and finally the ability returned to Zhou You's body with more power than before.
This process is completely completed between the electric sparkles, such a quick eyelash, such a magical change, for a while Zhou You was stupid.
In the past, every time I used an ability, it was expendable, but this time I came home in triumph even better. Such a situation can't help but make Zhou You think that his ability is an army, every time he goes out in the past, no matter how smooth it is, there will be losses, but this time he not only won a big battle, but also plundered a large number of materials and came back, strengthening himself.
And that's not all.
But when the ability returned, Zhou You sensitively felt a slight change in himself. In the past, no matter how you used your abilities, the result was always a negative effect on your travels, and negative feelings such as dizziness, fatigue, and exhaustion abounded. But now, the ability to swim around can give him a comfortable and peaceful feeling, as if there is a warm current flowing in his body, moisturizing his body.
"Xiaoyou, are you okay?"
Wang Hao's voice was like an alarm bell from another world, pulling Zhou You directly back to reality. Fortunately, the mood of Zhou Youyou is very peaceful, and there are no waves at all.
Zhou You knew that he was confused again, which attracted attention. If it weren't for Wang Hao being his own brother, otherwise others would really suspect that Zhou You's abnormal.
Thinking of this, Zhou You pondered carefully before calmly replied: "The characteristics of Hongshan jade are mainly as follows: First, the creative themes are wide, mainly including bionic and photographic. Among them, biomimetic is the main part, which refers to animal-shaped jade and human-shaped jade that have been imitated and deified, especially animal-shaped jade. Photography refers to the ingestion of natural phenomena and artistic processing of the bi, ring, hoop and hook cloud shaped jade pendant. Second, there are various modeling techniques, both basal carving and relief carving. The most prominent feature of the Hongshan cultural jade modeling is to emphasize the god-likeness, most of them are skillful line outline and exquisite grinding skills, the animal image is vividly expressed, very simple and vigorous charm, the Hongshan cultural jade is multi-body light element without lines, and the animal image pays attention to the overall shape and the key parts of the god-like. This piece of ancient jade is a standard Jue-shaped pig jade, which is completely in line with the characteristics of Hongshan jade. However, I think it is better to give it to the pundit people, after all, we are new graduates, and we are quite lacking in experience and authority. β
Wang Hao seemed to have completely sobered up, and said in an orderly manner: "Wait a minute, I'll ask my father and mother to see if this jade is passed down by the old man." If it's really an heirloom, then we'll take it to the old guy, who should still be torturing people in college. β
For the active Wang Hao, the boring lectures of their university tutors are a torturous thing, but for Zhou You, who is eager to get ahead, it is the best time to increase the accumulation of knowledge and lay the foundation of his career. is also like this, creating a gap between Zhou You and Wang Hao.
Soon, Zhou You and Wang Hao, two brothers with different tempers, came to the academy with the wooden box, and it happened that Xu Lao, who they called old-fashioned, did not teach and was directly killed by Zhou You and Wang Hao.
Xu Lao looked at it slightly, continued to taste his tea, and sighed after taking a sip of tea: "It's rare, it's really rare." The most disobedient disciple and the most obedient disciple disappeared for half a year, and they actually came back to visit me at the same time, an old stubborn, it seems that your matter is very serious. β
What else could Zhou You and Wang Hao, who were so sarcastic that they were almost burrowed in the ground, respectfully offer the fresh fruits they bought by the way, and then slowly open the wooden box in front of Xu Lao.
Xu Lao taught Zhou You and Wang Hao for four years, and also trained them for four years, they are very familiar with each other, and they don't need to say some unnutritious faΓ§ade words, and it is most practical to go straight to the main body.
"Hey, you've got such a treasure. β
Xu Lao finally moved, hurriedly put down the teacup, carefully put on special gloves, and then gently picked up the ancient jade in the wooden box.
Compared with other people's majors, Zhou You and Wang Hao's previous actions were simply laymen's laymen.
Wang Hao was not embarrassed at all, and even laughed: "Teacher, this is my family heirloom, I just turned it out of the box." We all thought it was the ancient jade of the Hongshan culture, but we couldn't hit it accurately, so we hurriedly came here and let you palm your eyes. β
"Count your hearts. β
For a highly respected figure like Xu Lao, the attraction of money to them has dropped to a very pitiful level, and if you want to impress this kind of person, you can only do what you like. And Xu Lao, who has been drilling in antiques all his life, can only touch his heart, and it is also an antique with historical value.
After studying it carefully for a long time, and even using some small tricks to probe it, Xu Lao finally determined: "There are three types of jade materials used in Hongshan jade: dark green jade similar to Xinjiang Manas jasper, and Kuandian jade and Xiuyan jade known as "Lao Xiuyu". The first type of jade is represented by the jade dragon of the Hongshan culture collected in Sanxingtala, Wengniute Banner, Inner Mongolia, and it is speculated that its origin is likely in the northeast, Inner Mongolia, or Mongolia near this cultural region, or it may be somewhere in the Russian Far East. Since the exact origin of this jade material has not yet been investigated, there is no way to falsify it. Your jade happens to be dark green, and with the unique Jue-shaped pig shape, this is enough to show that this jade is an ancient jade from the Hongshan culture period. β
Wang Hao was excited when he heard this, and asked, "Teacher, do you know the approximate price of this piece of jade?"
Xu Lao glanced at Wang Hao with disdain, and scolded: "Your temperament has not changed, I really don't know how I brought out a student like you." β
Wang Hao laughed embarrassedly.
Xu Lao knew Wang Hao's character, and he no longer cared about it, and said: "The auction of Hongshan ancient jade is not uncommon, and the price is high and low. However, your Jue-shaped pig is perfectly preserved, and the texture is also very good, according to the auction price in the market, it can be sold for 1.5 million yuan. β
"One and a half million!"
Wang Hao screamed and jumped up.
Xu Lao thought that Wang Hao didn't believe it, and directly added a factual example: "I remember that in 03, a very famous auction house in Beijing successfully auctioned the same shape of Hongshan ancient jade as you, and it was auctioned at a sky-high price of 1.4 million at that time. And your piece is more perfectly preserved, and after so many years, it is still underestimated to rise to 100,000, and if you meet a rich person who likes ancient jade, it is possible to sell it for 2 million. β
"One and a half million is enough, I'm not greedy!"
Wang Hao looked at the Hongshan Ancient Jade in Xu Lao's hand stupidly, for fear that Xu Lao, a common old man, would tremble and break his precious ancient jade.
Xu Lao then added: "If you want to sell, the old man can help you contact the buyer, which is definitely much more cost-effective than taking it to auction." However, I suggest that you continue to collect, after all, you are all my students, and you have more protection and compassion for antiques than ordinary people, and I am more relieved that this jade is in your hands. β
When Wang Hao heard this, he calmed down.
Xu Lao suddenly sighed: "To be honest, you are still young, you can still go out to work hard, create a career, and even if you fail, you have enough time to start over." But the old man was not good, and there were not many days left to live. β
Zhou You hurriedly said: "Teacher, you will definitely live a long life!"
Xu Lao seemed to be in a good mood, and the topics were one after another, and he said: "You two boys are very smart and kind, unlike some unscrupulous profiteers who have ruined their hard-earned reputation for the sake of mere interests. β
Zhou You and Wang Hao are not fools, they know that Xu Lao has something to say.
Xu Lao seemed to be very tired, waved his hand, and ordered the eviction: "You two are really lucky, you won't be able to see the old man if you come a day later." The old man did not continue to teach after teaching you, because the children and grandchildren did not want me to continue to work hard, and hoped that I would be able to go back to Canton to reunite with them, and the old man and his old men were all gone, and it was no fun to stay, so I agreed to them. β
Zhou You didn't think about it and said, "Teacher, we'll see you off tomorrow." β
Zhou You knew the meaning of the old guys were gone, and then he realized the loneliness and loneliness of Xu Lao here. Thinking of Xu Lao's four-year careful teaching, as well as his expectations for himself, Zhou You felt that he was really sorry for Xu Lao's teacher.
Xu Lao didn't agree or refuse, but replied slightly: "I have a heart." β
The teacher who was the most kind to him was about to leave, and Zhou You and Wang Hao were not on the Red Mountain Ancient Jade, and they wanted to get together with Xu Lao as much as possible and gossip.
