Huo Sining was made a pain by Semya's hairy movements, it is true, each of these things is a unique product left by the ancestors, at least Huo Sining has not seen the real thing in China, only mentioned it in the book, I didn't expect it to be encountered in such a situation today.
Since Huo Sining followed Zhou Shitao, Huo Sining has had an emotion for these antiquities for no reason, although she can't be like Zhou Shitao, Huang Zhenlong, and others who are desperate and do not hesitate to go bankrupt, but Huo Sining is also full of love for these things, otherwise she would not have come to Philadelphia, just to get back a few more cultural relics of Huaxia as much as possible.
Because Huo Sining knew very well in his heart that these things were irreproducible, and once one was damaged, one would be missing.
But the little white princess in front of her took out these extremely valuable and precious items in the eyes of the Chinese people, and just took them out, without even the slightest protective measures, and even put a little shockproof shredded paper foam These fillings, seeing this situation, Huo Sining was really angry.
It's just that these things belong to other people, Huo Sining knows that she has no right to put her beak, she can't help but raise her head and look at Semiya over there: "Miss Simia, what are you doing here?"
Saimiya smiled: "You don't have to pretend, just now you saw the expression of these things, I have seen it, I know that you are an appraiser, and you are the best at Chinese antiques, you can give me an estimate to see, how much are these things worth of mine?"
Huo Sining remembered that Semiya had said that she had chips before, and then looking at these things, her mind suddenly turned a corner, and she raised her head and looked at the white girl in front of her in disbelief:
"You want to ...... Use these things as bargaining chips?"
Huo Sining has been to the Boiled Casino, and has also entered Las Vegas to participate in international competitions, so naturally he has heard of some rules of the casino.
In some ordinary casinos, it is naturally impossible to use antiques as collateral or directly sell them for chips, but in Australia City and Las Vegas, there are many pawn shops of all sizes, which specialize in collecting things brought by gamblers, jewelry, jade, antique utensils, as long as they are valuable items, they can be mortgaged and pawned.
Most of the antiques in the Philadelphia black market also come from here.
However, in the casino, if you want to pawn dead things, the price is naturally not as high as those antique shops or auction houses outside, and there are even many luxury items, and the pawn mortgage price in the casino is only half or even one-tenth of the original price.
However, even at such a low price, there will still be many gamblers who are red-eyed gamblers who pawn and mortgage at any cost, just to be able to get the money to continue gambling, because they all believe that as long as they have money, give them a chance, they will turn the tables and win back the previous losses with interest.
However, in the end, there are very few people who can get things back again, and most of the pawned items will change from live to dead, and finally to those auction items on the black market booth in Philadelphia, which will be taken out and bid on by collectors from all over the world, and after that, it is not known to whom it will flow to whom, or which casino it will flow to.
Huo Sining didn't expect that this Semyya would take such an unusual path.
Maybe Huo Sining's eyes were too eager to look at those antiques, and Semiya consciously found a sense of superiority, so she couldn't help but raise her chin and said to Huo Sining:
"That's right, these are all treasured items in my house, and I know that you are an appraiser, so you must know the goods. I'll take out these things as chips, and if you win a game, you can take one of them, how about it, my chips are enough to make you tempted, right?"
Huo Sining's attention fell on these exquisite antiques, and he didn't have the heart to chat with Semiya.
She took a few steps forward, reached out and picked up the pair of white jade heart-turning lotus seed bottles, and looked them up and down, left and right.
Huo Sining has never seen the real thing, but she has seen an authentic Hetian white jade jade pendant in Zhou Shitao's study, the jade pendant is transparent and very beautiful, and it is regarded as Zhou Shitao's favorite piece, and she is usually reluctant to take it out for others to see, or by chance, Huo Sining saw that her master was making the jade pendant, Huo Sining couldn't help but ask, and then begged Zhou Shitao to touch it.
The jade pendant was handed down from the Qing Dynasty, and Zhou Shitao received the object seven or eight years ago, and it cost him more than 500,000 yuan at that time, and now, the price has increased more than ten times.
This is just a jade pendant, Huo Sining heard Zhou Shitao mention that the jade pendant is not the best thing, if you really want to talk about it, the white jade lotus seed bottle is the real exquisite object, this pair of things, once mentioned in "Dream of Red Mansions", is the ornament in Mrs. Shi's house.
Cao Xueqin writes books, fiction and reality, the characters are false and true, but many things can be examined, such as those food, such as the pharmacology and Fang Dan in it, and then some cultural relics and antiques in it, this pair of white jade lotus seed bottles, Zhou Shitao also thinks that there is something after many researches.
But Zhou Shitao can only roughly describe the appearance of this thing and draw a concept map, because he has not seen the real thing, not only him, but also Huang Zhenlong and Qin Lianshan.
Huo Sining only knew such a concept, but just after Semiya took out the items in the box, the first time she saw this pair of bottles, the term white jade lotus seed bottle unconsciously floated in her mind, she felt that this was 100% the thing that her master had in mind, it must be right!
Because this pair of white jade bottles, whether it is carving, material or even tire color, is very similar to the jade pendant in his master's hand, and Huo Sining found that the purple gas on this pair of bottles is not very rich, and it is the product of the prosperous period of the Qing Dynasty.
If this pair of white jade heart-turning lotus seed bottles is the ornament mentioned in "Dream of Red Mansions", after bringing it back, not only will Zhou Shitao be happy, but I am afraid that those old scholars who study red science will also go crazy for it.
Huo Sining knew that those people of the Red School could study the little details described by Cao Xueqin for several years, and this pair of white jade lotus seed bottles could be said to be another evidence, and it was strange that those people didn't sharpen their heads to compete for this thing.
Huo Sining thought so in his heart, but his eyes fell on the next item.
