Chapter 380: Class Reunion (Part II)

Hearing Xiao Wen's words, Zhou You's expression became richer and richer.

Yi Xiaotian and Wang Xiaolin had the heart to help, but they didn't know what to say. What's interesting is that Xu Man didn't know why, so he didn't help, so he let Zhou You be embarrassed like this.

Finally, Zhou You spoke: "Mr. Xiao, are you really sure that the Meritorious Pagoda is a four-story building?"

"Yes, I'm sure. ”

Xiao Wen was stunned for a moment, and immediately gave an affirmative reply.

Zhou You's expression was very exciting, and he asked: "It's strange, is there still such an idiot in this world, you must know that the rule of Buddhism in my country is that stupas must be built in singular." ”

The atmosphere of the scene suddenly became awkward.

Xiao Wen was still stiff-mouthed, and immediately shot back: "Maybe Mr. Zhou hasn't seen it, I have traveled to India, and the stupas there are even numbers." ”

Zhou You looked at Xiao Wen with an idiotic eye and replied: "According to the provisions of the Twelve Karma Sutras of the Three Tibetan Truths of Buddhism, the number of phase wheels is one plate of the wheel king, two plates of Sumeru Huan, three plates of Si Tohan, four plates of Anasha, five plates of Arhat, six plates of Yuanjue, seven plates of Bodhisattva, and eight plates ......of Nyolai. The Indian tower phase wheel is an even number. However, after it was transmitted to our country, it was influenced by the doctrine of 'Yin and Yang Five Elements', and did not use even numbers, but used singular numbers, because the double number in the five elements of Yin and Yang is yin, and the singular number is yang. In order to worship the Buddha and absorb the essence of various doctrines, the singular number is adopted in the construction of Chinese pagodas. ”

Xiao Wen's continuous twist was cramping, and Li Chenhua and Lin Dong were also stunned, and they didn't know how to refute for a while. As for Yi Xiaotian and Wang Xiaolin, they looked at each other, and they both admired Zhou You's talent and learning.

However, the only one in the field who was calm and could even smile was Xu Man. She has learned the erudition of Zhou You, and has personally experienced the many wonderful performances of Zhou You, so she will not be surprised.

Xiao Wen was still unwilling to give up, and still quibbled: "But I have also seen double-storey stupas in other places!"

Zhou You said calmly: "After the Song and Yuan dynasties, with the lack of historical and cultural cultivation, the increasing number of monks who read little Buddhist scriptures, the local tower building was also carried out at will, no matter what regulations and requirements. Under such circumstances, some people in various places do this, and some do that, which is becoming more and more bizarre, and the result is not clear what kind of tower and several phases are not clear. ”

Xiao Wen became more and more embarrassed.

He finally realized one thing now, don't compare with Zhou You in ancient literature.

Zhou You added another fire to it: "The tower has an important role in religious culture to guard the water and soil and dispel evil spirits. To dispel the evil qi, according to the doctrine of celestial and human induction, it is necessary to use the yang number (that is, the odd number) to represent the light, so that the surrounding righteous qi can be better absorbed. The Yin number (i.e., the even number) gathers Yin Qi, which is very different from the original intention of building the tower. So the number of floors of a regular tower is an odd number!"

Applause.

led by Yi Xiaotian and Wang Xiaolin, many people applauded. But more often than not, they looked at Xiao Wen who was full of embarrassment with strange eyes, and after what Zhou You said just now, they all thought that Xiao Wen was either bragging or not knowing anyone, and no matter which point was compared with the erudite Zhou You, it was dwarfed.

Zhou You was not happy, not even the most basic expression fluctuations, just politely toasted everyone with a glass of red wine and did not show any superfluity, and the arrogance was a little natural, but it made others dare not look down.

In fact, he also accepted similar party invitations, but it was high school and junior high school, but he participated in a trip to this type of party very uninterested, because such a party has become a place to show off and show off, those who are born good students try their best to sell their grades to others, and fight those who are not very happy with the classmates, and Zhou You, who was still studying at the time, naturally became a green leaf and became a foil for safflower.

Yes, I participated in it once and never paid attention to it. Interestingly, in the past, those saffrons got the news of Zhou You's development from somewhere, and they became more and more enthusiastic about his invitation, but they were all rejected by Zhou You.

However, there are some exceptions in the snobbish group.

Zhou You saw Xu Man chatting vigorously with several girls, and knew why she knew that there would be a lot of flies coming over. It's really embarrassing to think that I still have a few close friends in junior high school and high school, but I have been avoiding such gatherings.

"Do you feel like you've been left out?"

Yi Xiaotian came over with a wine glass and joked about traveling.

Wang Xiaolin dropped Yi Xiaotian, mixed up with Xu Man, chatted happily, and forgot about his husband.

Zhou You smiled and replied: "Xu Man usually doesn't have many friends, but now that he can get together and talk happily, I have to be happy for him." ”

Yi Xiaotian replied: "You are considerate. If there weren't so many flies at such a party......"

Yi Xiaotian stopped halfway through his words, because Lin Wei, one of the three defeated grasses, moved. Yi Xiaotian remembered that Zhou You didn't know Lin Dong well, and immediately reminded: "Lin Dong's father is in the jewelry business, and I heard that the scale is not small. In the past, in school, Lin Dong's favorite thing was to soak those beautiful women who were greedy for vanity, changing women was similar to changing clothes, but he was very standard, that is, he could eat but would never be emotional, which was a relatively principled one of the three major defeated grasses. ”

"Lustful but principled and funny!"

It was the first time I had met such a person. However, he recently met a lot of people surnamed Lin and who are also connected to the jewelry industry, and I don't know what this Mr. Lin has to do with people he knows.

"Hello Mr. Zhou!"

Lin Dong came over to say hello.

Zhou You also politely returned a cup.

Lin Dong took the lead in starting the topic: "Mr. Zhou's name is so familiar, where have we met?"

Zhou You replied: "It's the first time I've met Mr. Lin. ”

"Oh......"

Lin Dong's cultivation of Xinxin Kung Fu is very good, and he doesn't mind Zhou You's indifference at all, but said: "Mr. Zhou said that he was a collector of antiques, but I always felt that Mr. Zhou also had a considerable status in the jewelry industry. ”

"It's just a delusion. ”

Zhou You's answer was still very bland.

Li Chenhua suddenly intervened: "Mr. Zhou is playing antique collection, there must be a lot of fine antiques, and our family also has some good antiques, if you have time, we can communicate together." ”

"yes!"

Xiao Wen, who thought there was a breakthrough, also mixed in: "Speaking of antiques, my old man is an official member of the Provincial Collection Association, and he is very interested in antiques, and he also has a lot of valuable antiques in his family. I once saw a gilded Buddha statue, which is said to have been handed down from the Qing Dynasty and is worth more than 3 million yuan. ”

Zhou You nodded in agreement, too lazy to pay attention.

Li Chenhua saw that Zhou You's reaction was cold, and he was more and more sure that Zhou You's antique building was not large, and he himself was just an antique collector with a little money, so he immediately asked: "Mr. Zhou, I don't know what fine collections you have, it's better to say it and study it." ”

Antiques are meant to be seen, to be studied, not to be spoken.

Zhou You glanced at Li Chenhua lightly, and replied nonchalantly: "I don't have many collections, and most of them are Republic of China porcelain, so there is no need to say it." ”

Anyone can see the perfunctory travel.

And Xu Man almost squirted out the red wine he had just drunk. If there are not many collectibles on the tour, then the collectors with the most collections in the world are probably even rarer than the giant pandas. I didn't remember the rest, but the thousand fine porcelains exchanged for Kandinsky's abstract paintings alone were enough to move domestic collectors, not to mention the collections accumulated before traveling.

"Republic of China porcelain!"

Li Chenhua didn't have much research on antiques, but simply thought that the older the antiques, the more valuable they were, and the modern products of the Republic of China porcelain naturally became synonymous with low prices, and he was naturally very happy, and said emotionally: "The small moon bottle in the Yongzheng period in my family was given to my father by others, and it is said to be worth a lot. ”

"Little Moon Bottle?"

Zhou You heard the little moon bottle, but it was a little interesting.

Lin Dong looked at Zhou You's expression a little hesitantly, he wanted to ask something, but in the end he chose to shut up and wait and see.

Xiao Wen saw that Zhou You seemed to have thoughts, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, do you have any research on the small moon bottle?"

Zhou You smiled slightly, not sure or otherwise.

The self-righteous Li Chenhua immediately asked: "Mr. Zhou is an expert, why don't you say it and let everyone appreciate it." ”

Those who supported Li Chenhua and Xiao Wen chimed in.

Zhou You replied lightly: "I'm sorry, in my impression, most of the small moon bottles in the Yongzheng period are imitations of the official kilns of the Song Dynasty. To put it simply, your small moon bottle may be an antique imitation. ”

The scene fell silent for a moment.

Zhou You continued: "Interestingly, there are countless things where people imitate the official kilns of the Song Dynasty. Without a clear sense of style, or exceptional craftsmanship, such a collection will generally not have a good price. I remember that at an auction on Hong Kong Island, a Yongzheng imitation Song Guanyao small moon bottle was auctioned off for less than 80,000 Hong Kong dollars. Such a transaction price is really not worth mentioning compared with the official kiln porcelain that is often worth millions. ”

Li Chenhua, Xiao Wen and the others all opened their mouths when they heard this, and they didn't know how to refute it.

Zhou You spoke in an orderly manner, and even said the auction records, which can be described as a knife to the blood, stabbing Li Chenhua and Xiao Wen in the face.

Li Chenhua was still unconvinced, and said coldly: "Even if it is only 80,000 Hong Kong dollars, it is not within the range that ordinary people can afford." I believe that such things are more precious than your national porcelain. ”

"Idiot!"

At this time, even Xu Man couldn't help but scold secretly.

Yi Xiaotian reminded in a low voice: "Li Chenhua, antiques are not necessarily the older they are, the more expensive they are. ”

"Humph!"

Li Chenhua snorted dissatisfiedly.

He had long been dissatisfied with Yi Xiaotian, who had been helping to travel around, if he hadn't seen his classmates, he would have been attacked a long time ago.

Zhou You's patience reached the limit, and he said impatiently: "Mr. Li is not an expert, and I can understand that he has such an opinion. But you don't even have the most basic common sense, but you still dare to come out and argue with others, you feel too superior. ”
