"Huh, this bead is very similar to a rosary in our hall......"

After holding a bead in his hand and twisting it one by one, after looking at it for a while, Zhao Hongtao suddenly let out an exclamation, looked up at Fang Yi, and said, "Fang Yi, do you know what the origin of this bead is?"

"This string of flowing beads was handed down by my master, and the rest is not very clear......" Fang Yi shook his head, he couldn't say that this string of agarwood beads was snatched by his master from the hands of the Eight-Nation Alliance, and Fang Yi didn't know much about his master's past.

"Hong Tao, you said that we have such agarwood beads in the museum?

Sun Lao heard Zhao Hongtao's words on the side, but he was stunned for a moment, his son had seen the same agarwood rosary abroad before, but he didn't think that Zhao Hongtao actually said that they also had a string in the museum, so how many beads were there in total?

And Sun Lao has been working in the museum all his life, and he knows everything in it, if he has seen similar agarwood prayer beads, he will definitely remember it, but in Sun Lianda's memory, he has no impression at all.

"Teacher, this is after you retire......"

Zhao Hongtao's eyes were fixed on the string of agarwood beads, and he said: "Three years ago, a priest who used to live in Jinling gave a string of agarwood beads to the museum, but the beads were a little damaged, and I never put them in the booth......

More than half a century ago, Jinling was devastated by a war, which brought great damage to the city, but in that war, there were also many foreign friends who formed a deep friendship with Jinling.

The pastor Zhao Hongtao said was a German who lived in Jinling back then, and the pastor's grandfather had participated in the Eight-Nation Alliance, so he had an indissoluble bond with China, and he followed his father to live in this country when he was more than ten years old.

After the horrific massacre, the priest left Jinling, and more than half a century later, at the age of eighty, he returned to Jinling and donated a number of items that his ancestors had taken from China, including the string of agarwood beads.

Although foreigners also wear ornaments, very few people wear things on their wrists, and there is no saying that they play with literature, and the string of beads has been eroded by the rain when it was added by the priest and placed in the attic, and the quality has become very poor.

When he saw this string of beads, Zhao Hongtao still felt very sorry, because after his research, this string of agarwood beads was very likely to be a string of agarwood held by Emperor Kangxi in the early Qing Dynasty, but only six of the old agarwood were sent by the priest, and the rest were all beads that were matched later, which was considered a broken product.

"Well, this is really a coincidence, a few days ago Xiaochao said that he had seen the same beads abroad......" After hearing Zhao Hongtao's words, Sun Lianda's face couldn't help but show a surprised expression.

You must know that the general handheld is either eighteen or thirty-six, Sun Chao found eighteen abroad, counting the twelve of Shangyi's is thirty, and plus the six that Zhao Hongtao said, this string of thirty-six handheld is considered complete.

"Ah, there is such a thing, this is really strange......" Zhao Hongtao was also surprised when the teacher talked about the conversation in the ward a few days ago.

In the past 100 years, the country does not know how many precious cultural relics have been lost abroad, bronze porcelain or calligraphy and painting may be preserved, but I didn't think that this string of beads that was dismantled has all found a source, and it is still a lot.

"Fang Yi, this is a treasure-level thing, you have to put it away......" After sighing, Zhao Hongtao carefully handed the beads back to Fang Yi, and told him a few words, that posture was for fear that Fang Yi would wear it on his wrist again.

"Brother Zhao, I know, I usually don't wear ......" Looking at Zhao Hongtao's eyes, Fang Yi smiled bitterly, in his opinion, this kind of beads are originally peaceful objects for Taoist cultivation, where will it be effective if you don't wear them on your body.

However, after knowing that wearing the beads regularly would cause damage to him, Fang Yi was also kind, and he planned to put the beads under his pillow, wear them on his wrists every day before going to bed and meditate, and put them on when he worked during the day.

"What's the matter, Hong Tao, I said that Fang Yi may not be able to look at your string of beads, right?" Sun Lianda turned his head to look at Zhao Hongtao, with a hint of a smile in his eyes.

"Teacher, these two can't be compared at all......"

Hearing the teacher's words, Zhao Hongtao smiled bitterly and said: "Fang Yi's string can already be called an antique, and my string can only be said to be a literary play, but if this string of huanghuali is also so old, the value is definitely not under the agarwood beads......"

Zhao Hongtao's words are the difference between antiques and cultural toys, antiques must have a long historical year, in the Kangxi year, this agarwood beads can only be regarded as cultural toys, but after a few hundred years, agarwood beads have become antiques.

In the same way, the Huanghuali bracelet sent by Zhao Hongtao is now a literary play, but as long as it has been tempered over the years, after a hundred and ten years, this string of beads is as precious, because this string of superb Huanghuali is not under the agarwood in terms of material alone.

"Teacher, this string of beads that Brother Zhao gave me is already very precious......"

Seeing that the teacher was still a little unrelenting, Fang Yi hurriedly spoke to Zhao Hongtao to start a round, he knew that Zhao Hongtao sent this string of sea yellow beads, not because of how deep his friendship was, but because of the teacher's face.

"You kid is kind...... Sun Lianda how would he see how Fang Yi was pleasing to the eye, and said with a smile at the moment: "Hong Tao, it's better to teach people to fish than to teach people to fish, do you understand what the teacher means?"

Sun Lianda didn't think that the things sent by Zhao Hongtao were cheap, on the contrary, as soon as he made a move, he gave away items worth tens of thousands, which were already very valuable, and if it was Sun Lianda himself, he would never accept it.

But Sun Lianda's intention of bringing Zhao Hongtao here today was to let him teach Fang Yi some knowledge about antiques and miscellaneous items, and now Fang Yi plans to do the business of cultural toys, what he lacks is this knowledge and experience.

"Teacher, I understand what you mean......

Hearing the teacher's words, Zhao Hongtao couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that the teacher really cares about this disciple, if he doesn't hand over the ability to press the bottom of the box to Fang Yi, I'm afraid he won't be able to pass the teacher's level.

"Okay, it's good to understand......"

Sun Lianda laughed, as the saying goes, sixty and obedient, seventy and do what he wants, Sun Lianda is about to reach the age of doing what he wants, and he is not afraid of others saying that he is eccentric, and now Sun Lianda is thinking about cultivating Fang Yi.

"Hong Tao, let's do it, you don't usually go home at noon, then let Fang Yi go to your office at noon every day, and you can systematically explain to him the knowledge of antiques and miscellaneous matters, what do you think?" Sun Lianda did not give Zhao Hongtao any chance to shirk.

"Teacher, what do you say, Hong Tao, I will do it......" Zhao Hongtao agreed, he wanted to fight for the position of curator, and he also needed the teacher to help him speak at the top level, where would he disobey Sun Lianda's meaning.

"Old Sun, congratulations on receiving the apprentice, Xiaoman, I also toast you with a glass......" Seeing that Sun Lianda was very interested, the matter of accepting the apprentice was also over, and Man Jun also stood up and raised his glass.

"Xiaoman, I still have to thank you, Fang Yi is thanks to you for taking care of you these days......"

Sun Lianda didn't take any shelf, picked up his wine glass and drank it all, but after putting down the wine glass, Sun Lianda said: "Xiaoman, since Fang Yi worships me as a teacher, I want him to live there, and it is convenient for me to teach him some things every day, what do you think?"

Although he has a good sense of the Manchu army, Sun Lianda is afraid that Fang Yi will live here in the Manchu army and be consumed by the desire for profit brought by those antique dealers, so he still wants Fang Yi to live with him, anyway, Sun Lianda also has a house near the museum, so it's a big deal for him to move over.

"Ah, of course this is good, but let's listen to Xiao Fang's meaning......" Hearing Sun Lianda's words, Man Jun's answer was a little insincere, you know, Fang Yi is a link between him and Sun Lao, if he moves away, this relationship will slowly become estranged.

"Teacher, I'm still living here for the time being......

Fang Yi thought for a while, and said: "Brother Man has been engaged in the antique industry for some years, this experience is worth learning from me, and there are also some channels for purchase, I also need Brother Man to bring more of them, it will be more convenient to live here......

Knowing the teacher's reputation in the antique shop, Fang Yi naturally understood why the Manchu army was so eager to tie up with the teacher, he knew in his heart that if he left like this, the Manchu army would cut off the relationship with the teacher, but these words were said for the Manchu army.

As soon as Fang Yi's words fell, the Man Jun cast a grateful glance at him.

The Manjun thought very clearly, as long as Fang Yi lived here, Sun Lao would come over often, if this matter spread, even if Sun Lao didn't help him identify any object, then in the area of Jiangnan, no one would dare to sell fakes to himself.

"You're talking about ......"

Hearing Fang Yi's words, Sun Lianda pondered in his heart, it was true that he could teach Fang Yi knowledge, but he would not teach Fang Yi to do business, and Fang Yi was now engaged in the trading of antiques and cultural toys, and he really needed a familiar person to lead him into the industry.

"Then let's do it, you go to my place to study for two hours every night, and then come back to ask Xiaoman for some business things, Fang Yi, do you think it's okay?"

Sun Lianda lived to such an age, and he could see at a glance that Fang Yi had the intention of helping the army, but Sun Lianda was not unhappy, but was very happy in his heart, Fang Yi was able to do this, which shows that he is affectionate and righteous, not the kind of person who forgets his friends after climbing a high branch, this kind of behavior is worthy of affirmation in the first place.
