Stopping the chopsticks in her hand, Jian Er wiped her mouth: "Tomorrow is the birthday of the mother of a best friend of mine, no, I was trying to find her a special gift, but I really didn't find it to my liking after walking around these few laps." Why don't you give Grandpa Song some advice?"

Song Lao touched his smooth chin and said, "Girl, do you know the doorway for this gift?"

"Please advise!" Although I know that this gift is a science, but no one has taught her carefully, and now listening to Song Lao, it seems that she is going to teach her a lesson, and Jian Er is interested. You must know that this Lu Wang clan hasn't had time to talk about it yet, and now it's a good thing to listen to Grandpa Song's swing of the ancients.

Coughing lightly, Song Lao picked up the purple clay pot in his hand and took a sip of it, but did not start talking directly, but asked: "Girl, I have a question to test you, guess what, is it better to give a useful gift or a useless gift?"

If it was changed, Jian'er would definitely say directly, "Of course it's useful." This is also the thinking of ordinary people, and the first reaction of anyone who thinks of it is to think, this gift, of course, you have to choose something that others can use, or it will be given in vain. But since Song Lao asked like this, it means that this must have a deep meaning, so Jian Er didn't answer rashly, just tilted her head and thought carefully for a while, but she couldn't figure it out. Just give up and ask for advice directly: "The girl doesn't know, Grandpa Song will tell the girl." ”

Hehe smiled, Song Lao actually didn't expect Jian Er to be able to explain, and when he saw Jian Er asking, he didn't hang her appetite: "Actually, this gift is about useful gifts are not as good as useless gifts, and don't give gifts that are too practical." ”

But why?

Looking at Jian Er's puzzled face, Song Lao smiled slightly and continued to explain: "Do you know what this practical thing generally refers to?"

Jian'er thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "It should mean clothes, perfumes and the like, right?"

"That's right! The reason why you don't give away this thing is because unless you have an absolute grasp of your own taste, and you can fully control the other person's preferences, you should not buy these things. Because everyone usually has a lot of this type of thing, if you don't give it particularly brilliant, it's easy for people to ignore it, and if she doesn't know the taste, it will leave them with a bad impression of a 'layman'. Speaking of this, Song Lao paused for a moment, and saw that Jian Er seemed to have digested these few words before continuing to speak, "So it's best to give this gift something that doesn't fall off." ”

"Grandpa Song, what do you mean by 'four don't fall'?" Jian Er asked curiously.

"Don't worry, don't you have to talk about this! The 'four no' refers to: you can't eat it, you can't use it, you can't give it away, you can't throw it away. This kind of gift is the best way to express your heart, and it is also the easiest to make the recipient feel happy, so that you will be grateful and unforgettable. From the point of view of the person receiving the gift, what is useful to them is not necessarily what makes them happy, but from the point of view of the giver. The purpose of gift-giving is not to give much practical value to the recipient, but to make them appreciate you and remember you. Girl, do you think this is the reason?"

Jian Er thought about it carefully, it was really this Li'er, and the star eyes of worship were cast on Song Lao.

After enjoying Jian'er's admiration for a while, Song Lao continued: "Gift-giving also pays attention to a unique, creative and individual. This kind of gift makes it easiest for the recipient to feel the thought you put into it. Let him understand that you have put a lot of thought and effort into preparing this gift for him, and that is the purpose of this gift. ”

"Choosing the size of the gift, the general principle of choice is 'choose the big of the small, it is better to choose the small of the small', that is to say, this gift, in a less expensive gift category first a more expensive effect is far better than in a more expensive gift category first a cheaper effect. There is also the fact that gift-giving should not be given a choice. When there is not much difference between the advantages and disadvantages of several gifts, giving one thing alone is far more satisfying than letting others choose between two or more gifts. ”

"Then what's the point, what should I send!" After getting along for a while, Jian Er obviously felt that this Grandpa Song was not a very polite person, and he seemed to have an extraordinary tolerance for her, and he got along like his own grandfather, so between words, Jian Er didn't pay so much attention.

Song Lao also saw this situation, but instead of thinking about it, he felt happy, and couldn't help but reveal a touch of the temperament of an old naughty boy: "Didn't I say it earlier? ”

Depressed, really, after listening to it for a long time, I didn't get the specific Jianyì, but I felt that it was more difficult to send, "four don't drop"! God knows where to get this kind of "four don't drop" gift! Jian'er's delicate little face wrinkled.

Looking at Jian Er's little face wrinkled, Song Lao finally couldn't help laughing, if Song Lao's old friends saw him like this, it would be very strange, you must know that this Song Lao is famous in the antique circle, in this circle, Song Lao can be said to be a character who is about to shake when he stomps his feet, but don't look at him with a smile on his face all day long, that is also his natural smile, but there are many eyes in this heart, full of flowery intestines, he has always been the only one who calculates other people's share, and others want to get cheap on him, don't think about it, people in the circle give nicknames"Laughing Maitreya", but some people call him "Laughing Face" behind his back. In fact, as long as you are careful, you can see that this old Song Lao's smile rarely reaches the bottom of his eyes, and it is rare to see a happy smile like now.

So in the antique circle, this Song Lao just looks so close, in fact, he is notoriously difficult to approach, and now he looks so close to Jian'er, I have to say that this is the fate between them.

After laughing, Song Lao stopped teasing Jian'er and asked, "Girl, what about your previous plans?"

Jian Er's face flushed, and she pointed at her fingers, and said her previous plan a little embarrassedly: "That, I wanted to see if I could pick up a leak here, I think it makes more sense to send something like this." ”

"Pick up a leak?" A mouthful of water stuck in the bottom of Song Lao's throat, choking him coughing and his face flushed, and finally eased up, Song Lao shook his head, and said angrily: "Girl, what do you think is a leak? It's a cabbage pickup on the side of the road? Pick up a leak! The old man knows that you have a good foundation, but the more this is the case, the more you have the wrong mentality, it will be easy to take medicine. ”

Seeing that the old man was a little angry, Jian Er was very moved to tell the truth, this old man really regarded himself as his granddaughter, or if he was replaced by an outsider, who would persuade you to do this! Jian'er knows that the possibility of taking medicine is not too big (because antiques are usually spiritual, and Jian'er is very sensitive to this), but it is just possible that she doesn't know the value of the baby, but Jian'er has already thought about it, and it will be too expensive not to buy it.

But looking at Old Man Song like this, Jian Er still nodded obediently, no matter what the facts are, Old Song treated her like this, it was a sign of love for her, and Jian Er accepted this affection.

Looking at Jian Er's well-behaved appearance, Song Lao nodded, Well, just listen to it.

Then Old Man Song suddenly asked again, "Girl, have you eaten?"

"Uh-huh. Picking up the last bite of rice in her mouth, Jian Er picked up the water cup on the side and rinsed her mouth, then took out the paper from her bag and rubbed the corners of her mouth, put her hands away, and sat down.

"Now that you're okay, come with me. Old Man Song stood up and motioned for Jane to follow.

With doubts, he followed the old man Song into the side room, the old man stood still in front of the table, gently snorted forward with his mouth, and said to Jian'er: "Girl, do you see it?"

Jian Er looked up and saw that there were a lot of miscellaneous objects on the table, covering everything, but they were not very big, the largest was just a pen wash, and the smallest was a small jade pendant the size of a finger. looked at Old Man Song suspiciously, what is there to see about this.

"Choose one, it's a gift from Grandpa Song. As soon as Jian Er wanted to say no, Old Man Song interrupted her, "Don't worry, the juniors who come to Grandpa Song can choose one, as long as you recognize my grandfather Song, then you can choose, but what you choose depends on your own vision." ”

Old Man Song waved his hand, and then said: "This is also an exam question that grandpa gave to you juniors, there are things in it that are wide open, there are high-quality imitations, and handicrafts, choose which grandpa will send which, I know that you can check everything if you have a mobile phone now, but you are not allowed to use it at this time, are you ready? Go!" After speaking, the old man stood aside and signaled that Jian'er might come forward to take a closer look.

Jian Er walked up, walked around the table for a while, and then raised her head and asked Old Man Song, "This, can I get started?"

Old Man Song nodded, signaling that Jian'er could do whatever she wanted.

When she looked at the table again, Jian Er was no longer looking at it casually. But she didn't think about cheating right away, concentrating on using mental power to sense, but began to use the knowledge she had to analyze it little by little.

Thanks to the current network society, any information can be found on the Internet, in Lu Zong began to teach Jian Er appreciation, Jian Er put down a lot of information from the Internet after the Southern Tang Dynasty, in order to fill the blank of Professor Lu Zong, just because he has not started the real thing, the objects after the Southern Tang Dynasty Jian Er is weaker, but this kind of thing is the same, everything is clear, the real thing has been touched for a long time, and it will naturally produce a very strange sixth sense, some modern old things, even if they are made similar, they will feel a little different in their hands, and there will always be some difficulties to the awkwardness of words。 With Jian'er's current eyes, coupled with a rich knowledge reserve, and most importantly, her magical spiritual sensing ability, if you want to deceive her, one word, difficult!

So Jian Er set her eyes on the first object in the upper left corner of the table, intending to analyze them one by one. After all, this is a rare internship opportunity. RS
