After weighing, Meng Songhai decided to tell his father about the ring, if the gem set in the ring was really a yellow diamond, then he would not consider collecting it for a long time, but would sell it as soon as possible, and he did not plan to hide the yellow diamond from his family; If it wasn't for the yellow diamond, it would have been a joke and it would have been okay to say it.

After Meng Songhai thought clearly, he carefully put down the Tianzi jar in his hand, took out a gold ring inlaid with gems from his pocket, and introduced: "I also bought this ring, and I feel that the gems inlaid on it are yellow diamonds. ”

"Diamonds?" Meng Songyao looked at the young son with a curious expression, "Diamonds are very valuable. ”

"yes, diamonds are valuable!" Meng Songhai laughed, "It's just a feeling, it's not 100% sure it's a diamond." Bring it over tomorrow, show it to that Boss Liu, and ask him if he recognizes the jewelry merchant from Hong Kong and Taiwan, if the appraisal is true, I plan to sell it. ”

"If it's true, how much can it be sold?"

"It's hard to say, I estimate that it can be sold for more than 100,000 yuan." Meng Songhai said a conservative number.

"So expensive?!" Meng Dongyao muttered faintly, Meng Songhai gave him too much stimulation today, and his immunity to money was greatly improved.

"It's not expensive." Meng Songhai laughed and said, "If you get it abroad, you can sell it at least two or three times the price." ”

Meng Dongyao stared at Meng Songhai for a moment, and sighed lightly: "It's too easy for you to make money. ”

"It's not certain if it's a diamond, but it's probably just an ordinary sapphire."

Meng Dongyao was puzzled: "Isn't this yellow, how did it become a sapphire?" ”

Meng Songhai smiled and explained: "Sapphire does not refer to blue gemstones, it refers to a class of gemstones, and there are many colors. ”

"I don't understand." Meng Dongyao shook his head, "You said that you are reluctant to sell this Tianzi jar, if this gem is a diamond, then how can you be willing to sell it?" ”

"Antiques and gems are different, this kind of Ming Chenghua Tianzi jar is very small, if I sell it now, if the buyer is not a domestic museum, it is likely to be lost overseas, and it will be very difficult to buy it back in the future. If it's a private collection, it's good to say that you can buy it back at a higher price, but if you enter the museum, you can buy it back. ”

Meng Songhai stared at the Tianzi jar a few times, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, smiled slightly, and continued, "And diamonds, even if they are colored diamonds, although they are small in existence, they are very actively traded, as long as the bid is higher than the market price, you can buy a bigger and more beautiful colored diamond than this one." Even if you know which collector is collecting the antiques in the world, and the collector is not ready to sell them, it will cost a lot of money to buy them from this person. Rare good things, everyone is used to it, even if someone takes it out for sale, in the case of many competitors, the transaction price will be very high. ”

"Understood." Meng Dongyao glanced at the young son with a smile, "Little Fifth Son, I'm a little confused, how do you know these things?" ”

"Listen to what others say, and there are those who are thinking about it themselves." Meng Songhai smiled and changed the subject, "Dad, it's not early, I'm a little hungry, you can make lunch early today." ”

"Okay, I'll go cook right away."

When Meng Dongyao entered the kitchen to make lunch, Meng Songhai entered his bedroom and muttered to himself: "The matter of buying the Tianzi jar should have been kept secret, so that the Tianzi jar can be stored in the Qiankun ring for a long time, and there is no need to worry about being stolen by thieves...... Later, when we have lunch, talk to my dad again and let him keep it secret. In the future, I will buy the treasure that I plan to collect for a long time, and I will not tell my family, and put it in the Qiankun ring......"

After lunch, Meng Songhai didn't go out, the weather was too hot, he hid at home to take a nap, and when he woke up, it was already half past three.

After Meng Songhai got up, he saw that his father was not at home, and after washing up, he drank a few sips of water and went out directly.

Before going out, Meng Songhai put the Tianzi jar in the bedroom and the gold ring inlaid with yellow gems into the Qiankun ring.

This afternoon, Meng Songhai was not very lucky, walked for nearly two hours, only to buy three antiques, an old inkstone, a Hetian jade wrench, a Wang Dafan pastel character pattern pen holder, when buying the old inkstone, the stall owner gave a free piece of Hu Kaiwen ink ingot with a small half.

Buying these three antiques, Meng Songhai spent a total of fifty yuan, he knew that in more than 20 years, the market price of these things could exceed one million, but he didn't feel that he had missed it now, the current price of these things is not expensive, only long-term collection, can reflect their appreciation potential.

Meng Songhai felt that the old inkstone was an object in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and the Hetian jade wrench finger was from the Qing Dynasty, and the ceramic pen holder, he must have been created by Wang Dafan, one of the eight friends of Zhushan, in 1948, because this cylinder has the words "Wuzi Year", "Early Summer" and "Wang Dafan", plus the quality of this pen holder, and the works of Zhushan Eight Friends have not been widely recognized by the market, and few people imitate their works, and he is 100% sure of Wang Dafan's treasures.

When Meng Songhai returned home, he saw his mother cooking in the kitchen, and said hello, and he put the three and a half pieces he had just picked up into the bedroom.

"Mom, what are you going to eat?" Meng Songhai walked to the kitchen and said to his mother with a smile.

"I've got a lot of skills!" Guo Jingfeng quipped, with a relieved expression on his face.

"Dad told you about me buying antiques, right?"

"Got it." Guo Jingfeng nodded and said, "That Jade Buddha can really be sold for six thousand?" ”

"Yes, the buyers have already paid a deposit of five hundred."

"You are really capable, your father and me, plus your second brother, the three of us can't earn six thousand a year." Guo Jingfeng sighed, "By the way, your father said that you bought a gold ring with diamonds on it, show it to me." ”

"It's not sure if it's a diamond yet." Meng Songhai corrected, "I'll get it." ”

Meng Songhai went back to his bedroom and took out the ring from the Qiankun ring.

Returning to his mother, Meng Songhai handed the ring to his mother.

"Don't give it to me, I'll just take a few looks." Guo Jingfeng smiled.

"I bought the jade bracelet for you, did my dad give it to you?"

"Yes. Just now, I wore it, and it was just right. ”

"How did you take it off?"

"I have to work, it's ......inconvenient to wear it," Guo Jingfeng said and stir-fried the cowpeas in the pot, "I discussed with your father, when you buy and sell antiques to make money, don't say it first, don't tell your second brother." ”

"Why?" Meng Songhai was puzzled, he felt that the second brother lived under the same roof with him, and there was no need to hide from him the matter of buying and selling antiques to make money.

"I'm afraid your second brother won't work well." Guo Jingfeng glanced at Meng Songhai, "If he's like you, one/door/heart/thought (this word is also a river crab, it's too incredible) wants to make money by buying and selling antiques, then it's not good." ”

"Okay, I won't tell him." Meng Songhai smiled, "Mom, I'm focused on buying and selling antiques, so you and my dad can rest assured?" ”

"I'm not at ease. It's not summer vacation at school now, try it, if you were born to eat this bowl of rice, your dad and I won't say much. ”

Guo Jingfeng sighed lightly, glanced at Meng Songhai a few times, changed his tone, and said, "You have to abide by what you say!" ”

"What's the matter?"

"In the future, I don't ask others to borrow money when I buy antiques. In addition to giving 3,000 to the family, it will be given to the family every month in the future. ”

"How much in a month?" Meng Songhai said.

"How much do you say?"

"Let's talk about it in half a month." Meng Songhai said with a smile, "If within half a month, I have spent all the money on my body and can't make money, then I will obediently go and repeat." ”

Meng Songhai chatted with his mother, walked out of the kitchen, walked to his parents' bedroom, and saw his father packing up.

"Dad, what are you doing?"

"Take out the old stuff from the house and take a look." Meng Dongyao smiled and pointed to the things on the table, "Look at it, it's worth it." ”

Meng Songhai glanced at it a few times, and felt that a lotus petal Baibao inlay lid box was the most beautiful, picked it up, looked at it a few times, and smiled: "Good thing, red sandalwood." ”

"I know good stuff too."

Meng Songhai saw more than thirty silver dollars on the table, and asked curiously, "How did you get so many silver dollars?" ”

"Before your grandfather died, the family was divided into our family."

"Our family used to be rich?"

"Your grandfather used to be in the medicinal herb business, and the family has some savings."

Meng Songhai put down the red sandalwood petal treasure inlay lid box, picked up a silver dollar, looked at it on both sides, put it down, continued to take the other silver dollars, and read all the silver dollars.

"These two silver dollars have a smaller minority, and they can be bought at a good price." Meng Songhai smiled and pointed to the two silver dollars placed on the side, and said with a smile, "The other silver dollars are very ordinary, and if you put them for a few more years, they will be worth a few dollars." ”

"Look at this bowl and this vase."

Meng Songhai picked up the porcelain vase, looked at it carefully for two or three minutes, and after putting it down, he picked up a blue and white bowl.

The outer wall of this bowl is painted with blue and white squirrel grape patterns, and the grape branches and leaves are luxuriant, and the squirrels jump in between. The outsole is signed in blue and white regular script "Kangxi Year of the Qing Dynasty" double-line six-character paragraph.

"This bowl should be the official kiln in the Kangxi period, and it is a good thing...... I am not optimistic about this plum bottle, unlike the official kiln in the Kangxi period, it is very likely that it was imitated during the Republic of China...... Dad, these two things were also left to you by your grandfather? ”

"No, it was left to me by a comrade-in-arms of mine more than 30 years ago, at that time, he was seriously ill and alone, I had a good relationship with him, he asked me to help him handle the funeral, and everything in front of him was left to me." Meng Dongyao said in a low tone.

"Whether it's worth it or not, these two pieces of porcelain deserve to be well preserved." Meng Songhai said.

"Hmm!" Meng Dongyao squeezed out some smiles on his face, and after listening to his young son's words, he was very relieved, feeling that the young son had not fallen into the eyes of money.

"This red sandalwood petal treasure inlay lid box is definitely a thing of the Qing Dynasty, and it may be an object used by princes and nobles." Meng Songhai commented on the lid box that he picked up first.

"This is also what my comrade-in-arms left me."

Meng Songhai picked up the lid box again, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and hesitated: "Dad......"
