Chapter 185: Jade Cicada

"I know, Brother Song, this Pingzhou Gambling Stone Conference, I will take out a maximum of five million to try my hand, and I will not invest all the funds in it......"

Zhuang Rui is still very appreciative of Song Jun's persuasion, if others are not really for your good, they can't say those things that offend people.

"Okay, you just have a number in your heart, it's late, go to bed, I'll call you early tomorrow morning and take you to see the ghost market." Song Jun beckoned the waiter to come over and pay the bill, and said to Zhuang Rui with a proud face.

"Hehe, Brother Song, I've been there a long time ago, and it's a little rewarding......"

Zhuang Rui told Song Jun about the fact that he found a set of Ru kiln porcelain fragments in the ghost market, and after this object was repaired, he was going to make a move, so he was not afraid that others would know.

"You...... You mean, you found a fragment of a complete Ru kiln porcelain?!"

Song Jungang's body that stood up was stumbled back by Zhuang Rui's words, with an unbelievable expression, and after getting Zhuang Rui's affirmative reply, he shook his head again and again, and said: "I didn't say those words just now, you kid can gamble as much as you want, grandma, your luck is also better." ”

On the way to the elevator, Song Jun's eyes kept staring at Zhuang Rui's left wrist, and his mouth was still chattering, when he was free, he would go to Tibet once, and he would definitely have such a treasure blessed by the living Buddha.

…… may have been stimulated by Zhuang Rui's good luck, the next day when Zhuang Rui was sleeping in a daze, he was woken up by a call from Song Jun, asked Zhuang Rui to go to the ghost market to walk around, looked at the time, it was just three o'clock, helpless, Zhuang Rui got up and washed up, and took the white lion to the door of the hotel to meet Song Jun.

This time, Song Jun did not take Master Peng with him, but by himself, and for antiques, it is obvious that his professional knowledge is stronger than that of Master Peng.

Jade Street is more than ten meters away, there is only a street lamp, and it is an energy-saving lamp, after twelve o'clock, the light is very dim, Song Jun and Zhuang Rui are early, at this time on both sides of the Jade Street, there are already people set up stalls, and some people have just arrived, are laying stalls on the ground.

Since the Pingzhou Gambling Stone Conference will be officially opened tomorrow, this ghost market is also the last day, and people who are interested in Taobao get up relatively early, and there are more people who will walk on the jade street to visit the ghost market, but there are more people than stalls.

What made Song Jun a little depressed was that the powerful flashlight he was carrying, as soon as it was turned on, it attracted a scolding, but Zhuang Rui was holding a small flashlight that no one cared about, seeing such a scene, Zhuang Rui handed the flashlight to Song Jun, for him, those antiques with aura are like fireflies in the night, as long as they exist, they can't escape his eyes, and there is no difference between day and night.

"Brother, let's look at it separately, I will call if I have something. ”

Jade Street is more than 2,000 meters long, although there are not many people who can set up stalls, there are forty or fifty stalls, so Song Jun and Zhuang Rui separated and walked around alone.

Without a flashlight, under this dim light, it can't add much experience, Zhuang Rui didn't bother to look at it one by one, so he simply released the aura in his eyes every time he went to a stall, and wrapped all the items in the stall into it, so that as long as there were antiques in these objects, basically he couldn't escape his eyes.

It's just that Zhuang Rui is a little depressed, even after looking at four or five stalls, he didn't find anything valuable, occasionally there are one or two objects containing thin aura, Zhuang Rui picked it up and took a look, it was just porcelain fired in the late Qing Dynasty, not worth a few dollars, and the stall owner also knew its value, and the price casually offered was higher than that of the auction house, Zhuang Rui was not even too lazy to pay the price, and went directly to the next stall.

"Hey, brother, why are you looking so fast?"

Zhuang Rui and Song Jun started to look on both sides of the street, and before it was an hour, Zhuang Rui turned to the street on the other side and met Song Jun at a stall.

"Did you give me the flashlight, you can't see it clearly, you better take it, brother, my eyes are better." ”

Song Jun was a little embarrassed, and handed the flashlight in his hand to Zhuang Rui.

"Don't, Brother Song, take it, I'm going to study with the prince today. ”

Zhuang Rui didn't take over the flashlight, he would have seen more than 20 stalls, he didn't see a good object, basically didn't report any hope, it seems that if he wants to get good things in this ghost market, it also depends on luck.

"Then you're welcome. ”

Song Jun continued to observe the object he was looking at just now, after seven or eight minutes, Song Jun stretched out his hand to the stall owner, because it was dark, Zhuang Rui did not see their gestures, but when Song Jun took out the money, Zhuang Rui saw clearly, two unopened RMB, handed to the boss.

Zhuang Rui was taken aback, spending 20,000 yuan to buy something in this kind of place, either making a lot of money or losing a lot, that thing seemed to be a small one, and it was held in the palm of Song Jun's hand, Zhuang Rui couldn't see it for a while, and couldn't help asking: "Brother Song, what did you buy?"

"Hehe, brother, you are really a lucky cat, I picked up a good object as soon as I came over, go, don't look at it, go back to the hotel." ”

Song Jun looked a little excited, pulling Zhuang Rui to go back, and the rest of the stalls were not willing to look at it anymore, this is actually also exquisite, but after getting a good object, collectors generally will not continue to look down, because the excitement of picking up the leak is likely to affect the next judgment.

"I said Brother Song, I haven't finished reading this yet, yes, don't pull it, I can't go with you. ”

Zhuang Rui wanted to finish reading the remaining stalls, but he was helplessly dragged by Song Jun, so he could only honestly follow Song Jun back to the hotel.

"Brother Song, what kind of treasure is it that deserves your fuss? Brother, I haven't gained anything at all. After coming to the hotel and sitting down, Zhuang Rui asked, with a hint of complaint in his tone, today is the last day of the ghost market, and there will be no such store in this village after that.

"Don't worry, I'll have another look. ”

Song Jun's words made Zhuang Rui almost fall on his heels, good guy, dare to love Boss Song before he could see it clearly.

Several headlights in the hotel were also turned off, but turning on the powerful flashlight here, naturally no one would care, Song Jun put the object in his palm on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and then turned on the flashlight and aimed the strong light at the object.

"What is this?"

What appeared in Zhuang Rui's eyes was just a reddened, thumb-sized thing, and some dirt on it, so he couldn't tell what it was.

"Hehe, of course it's a good thing. After looking at it for a long time, Song Jun picked up the things on the coffee table and handed them to Zhuang Rui.

"Damn, it's worth 20,000?"

Zhuang Rui took it in his hand, and it took a lot of effort to see that it turned out that this was a jade carved from jade, and the color on it was very strong, and it was difficult to see it if he didn't distinguish it carefully.

"You know a fart, this is called a jade cicada, and this is just a burial jade from the Han Dynasty, a very precious ......" Song Jun replied angrily.

After hearing Song Jun's words, Zhuang Rui was a little concerned, and looked at it seriously, this jade cicada is no more than three or four centimeters long, about two centimeters wide, the cicada's head and eyes are large, the body wings are narrow and slender inverted trapezoidal, and there is a small hole in the center of the jade cicada's head that is almost invisible, presumably for wearing a rope.

This jade cicada is made of good materials, Zhuang Rui looks like the material of Xinjiang white jade, but it is all dark red color, the cicada body is carved into a diamond shape, the image is concise and generalized, the head wing and abdomen are carved with thick yin lines, a few knives are made, the knife technique is very concise, the wings on the back of the cicada are symmetrical, such as the lung lobe, and the overall shape is very regular.

"Brother Song, is this a mouth?"

Zhuang Rui played with the jade cicada in his hand and asked Song Jun, he knew that the jade cicada was mostly placed in the mouth of the deceased, taking its meaning of being noble and vulgar, resurrected and reborn, but these were all heard by Zhuang Rui from other places, and this was the first time he had seen it with his own eyes.

The ancient jade cicada has three uses: one is pinned to the hat, as a high-level decoration, the second is to wear a rope to hang on the body, as an ornament, and the third is to be a burial object, which is the biggest use of the jade cicada, and people put it in their mouths after death.

For more than 5,000 years, people have been deeply yearning for cicadas since the Red Mountain culture of the Stone Age, which stems from our ancestors' dedication to eternal life. Some experts believe that cicadas have changed from larvae to adults, and they must be transformed and reborn. Contains a cicada, meaning to be a new person and reincarnate.

"That's right, this is what the dead of the "Nine Tricks of the Jade Plug" said...... Yuyun, brother, I'm really lucky today, this is the authentic Han Eight Knife Jade Cicada, damn, the kid who set up the stall must have been picked up from some Han tomb. Song Jun was still very excited, and he actually burst out foul language, and it seemed that he was extremely satisfied with finding this object.

As the name suggests, "Jade Plug Nine Holes" is to stuff a piece of jade into the nine orifices of the body after death, which is very particular, the dead have jade in both hands, called jade grip, and the eyes also cover the jade, called the jade eye, and the mouth is called the jade.

As for the Han Eight Knife that Song Jun said, it is because of a kind of jade carving craft created by this jade cicada, specifically referring to the kind of Han Dynasty burial jade that only applies the process on the back of the cicada.

When Zhuang Rui was playing, he had already checked it with aura, and it was indeed an object from the Han Dynasty, because it did contain aura, and it was dark purple, but the number was not very large, but in the process of Zhuang Rui's playing, he seemed to feel that the aura in it was slowly increasing.

This discovery made Zhuang Rui interested, if his feelings are true, then that is to say, the formation of aura in these antiques is absolutely inseparable from the nourishment of the human body.

"Brother Song, the little brother is thinking about finding someone to play with, let me count your jade cicada, how much money you can offer. Zhuang Rui didn't know if the feeling just now was his own illusion, and besides, he wanted to find a better jade piece to play with, this jade cicada has three colors, and the jade quality is also good, barely able to meet Zhuang Rui's requirements.

Song Jun paused for a moment after hearing Zhuang Rui's words, and then looked at Zhuang Rui with a smile and asked, "What's the matter, brother, do you fancy this thing?"

"What's the matter? What else is there to say?" Zhuang Rui couldn't help but ask when he saw Song Jun smiling a little strangely.

"No, but the price of this thing is not low. ”

"Hey, I said Brother Song, brother, I didn't say that I wouldn't give you money, how much should it be, you can't tell it. ”

Zhuang Rui was a little puzzled, but it was just a gadget from the Han Dynasty, and it was still so small that it was worth a few dollars.

After Song Jun heard Zhuang Rui's words, he also straightened his face and said: "Okay, let me tell you this, just a few months ago, an old friend of mine came back from abroad a jade cicada with a Han Eight Knife, the quality and quality of the jade cicada are far inferior to mine, he bought it back for 200,000 yuan at that time, how much do you think I sell for this one?"

"200,000? That's not cheap......

When Zhuang Rui heard this price, he was taken aback, not that he couldn't take out so much money, but because he had never spent so much money to pick up the leak, and he was now thinking in his heart whether it was worth spending 200,000 yuan to buy this thing.

"Okay, Brother Song, that person spent 200,000 yuan, how about you and me pay 300,000 yuan? If you agree, find a bank and I'll transfer it to you when you go back to dawn." ”

After Zhuang Rui thought about it for a while, he still decided to buy it, ancient jade is generally extremely difficult to encounter, not to mention that this jade cicada also has three colors, if it is plated, I am afraid it is worth far more than 300,000.

"Hey, brother, don't worry, my friend spent $200,000, and I don't want you $300,000, you give me $250,000, you take this thing. ”

After Song Jun waited for Zhuang Rui to say that he wanted to buy it, he said slowly, Zhuang Rui knew that why Song Jun had that expression on his face just now, daring to love such a small gadget can be worth one-third of his net worth.

"Come on, Brother Song, you are angry with me, don't provoke me, I can't afford to play. ”

Zhuang Rui handed back the jade cicada in his hand to Song Jun while talking, and shouted out the price of 300,000 yuan, he gritted his teeth for a long time, which was exchanged for 250,000 US dollars, Zhuang Rui didn't even need to think about it, and returned the thing directly.

Although this thing is good, Zhuang Rui also wants to find out whether the aura in this object can really be increased by playing, but let him spend more than 2 million to do an experiment, Zhuang Rui will not do this kind of thing, then again, with these eyes, Zhuang Rui still doesn't believe that he won't be able to find a better ancient jade in the future......
