Chapter 18 He Lao tells the story

Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly handed over the jade snuff bottle with both hands under Zhang Ying's eyes, He Lao is Taishan Beidou in the antique world, could it be that this jade snuff bottle is really an antique.

"I'll see!" He Lao took the snuffbox with a smile, and the middle-aged woman behind him hurriedly handed over a pair of glasses, and after putting on the glasses, He Lao's expression immediately changed.

"Good thing, really good thing, it's a jade snuff box with a wide open door, young man, where did you get it?" He Lao looked at it for a full three minutes before he sighed loudly.

"What I found at home may have been handed down from my ancestors!" Li Yang smiled, in front of this old man, Li Yang really had a sense of dazedness, and lying was not so sharp.

The old man nodded: "This thing should be left by the ancestors, this is a jade snuff bottle in the early and middle morning, at that time this was a rare good thing, it seems that it should be used by the royal family, things like this are generally recorded, young man, wait, I'll make a call to check!" ”

The old man stood up after speaking, and looked like he was seventy or eighty, but he walked very energetically, and the crutches seemed to be just playing with them.

"Manager Zhang, what the hell is going on?" After the old man entered the house, Li Yang asked in a low voice.

"You kid, I'm really jealous of your good luck, if this thing can really find a provenance, then the price can't be judged from the jade alone!" Zhang Ying excitedly hammered Li Yang's shoulder, and the envy and jealousy in his eyes were not concealed at all.

"Manager Zhang, do you mean that this snuffbox is still an antique, and the value of antiques is higher than that of jadeite?"

"Almost, but it's not what you said, it mainly depends on whether you can find out the source, if you have a source, the value will be high, and the value of the royal use is higher, but even the value of ordinary antiques is higher than that of pure jade jewelry, and your carving is so exquisite!" Zhang Ying smiled and nodded, Li Yang finally understood.

Following the old man into the living room, Li Yang was suddenly shocked by the antique feeling in the living room, there were few modern supplies in the living room, making Li Yang feel as if he had really come to ancient times, this feeling was definitely not something that some costume tourist areas could bring.

After sitting in the living room for twenty minutes, He Laocai walked out of the room in good spirits, and his face, which was calm just now, now has a trace of excitement.

"Li Yang, I'll tell you a story!" After He Lao sat down, he looked at Li Yang with a smile, and did not say the origin of this jade snuff bottle, but wanted to tell Li Yang a story.

Seeing that Li Yang was a little stunned, Zhang Ying hurriedly kicked him secretly with his foot, and said to He Lao instead of Li Yang: "Tell me about it, I haven't heard you tell a story for a long time!" ”

He Lao nodded lightly and smiled, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and slowly began to say: "In the late Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there was a minister named Sun Shiyi, who was the governor of Yunnan and the governor of Liangguang. ”

Zhang Ying's eyes lit up, and he looked at Li Yang, the look of envy in his eyes became even stronger, Li Yang was still confused, but Zhang Ying was already very clear.

He Lao took a sip of water, shook his head, and continued: "When Sun Shiyi took the baby to wait outside the palace, he happened to meet the most famous minister He Shen at that time, and He Shen asked him, what are you holding in your hand, Sun Shiyi said, it's just a small snuff bottle, He Shen wants to see it, Sun Shiyi didn't want to give it to him, but at that time, He Shen was so powerful that he couldn't give it to him!" ”

Speaking of this, Li Yang also felt it, he looked at He Lao blankly, the story He Lao told would never talk about the snuffbox in his hand.

He Lao smiled, and then said: "After He Shen saw it, he said to that Sun Shiyi, you have a good thing, can you give it to me?" Because Sun Shiyi told the emperor in advance, he didn't dare to offend He Shen, so he could only tell the truth and let He Shen know that this was something that the emperor asked for in advance. He Shen didn't care at the time, so he left, and a few days later, Sun Shiyi met He Shen again, and He Shen took out a snuffbox and said to Sun Shiyi proudly, you come to see how my snuffbox is, how does it compare with yours? ”

Speaking of this, He Lao stopped and looked at Li Yang and the three of them with a smile.

"Then what did Sun Shiyi say?" Li Yang, who had already listened to it, blurted out a question, and after asking, he saw that everyone was looking at him, and he lowered his head embarrassedly.

He Lao didn't seem to care at all, and said with a smile: "I really don't know what Sun Shiyi said, but he recognized the snuffbox in He Shen's hand as the one he paid tribute to the emperor, and afterwards Sun Shiyi inquired again, and he didn't hear who the emperor gave the snuffbox to, and since then Sun Shiyi has known that He Shen can take things from the palace casually without saying hello!" ”

"So, this snuffbox ended up in He Shen's hands?" Zhang Ying glanced at Li Yang and asked He Lao with a smile.

"That's right, later He Shen's house was raided, and this thing entered the palace again, and no one knows how it ended up, but I am ninety percent sure that the snuff bottle that Xiao Li brought was the one that Sun Shiyi paid tribute to and later fell into the hands of He Shen!"

He Lao chuckled and nodded, while Li Yang looked at the small snuffbox in front of him blankly, he really didn't expect that there was this story on this little thing, and it was actually related to the big corrupt official He Shen.

"Xiao Li, what did your ancestors do?" He Lao suddenly asked Li Yang.

"I heard my dad say that my grandfather's grandfather was an officer in the Beiyang Army back then, and I don't know what the specific official is!"

Li Yang was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly replied, this is something he only learned today, and this thing is still true, his father will never lie to himself.

"No wonder, it seems that this thing fell out of the Qing Court Palace and ended up in your house, but it's rare to be able to keep it so well!"

He Lao nodded and smiled, He Lao was in a very good mood, he hadn't been exposed to such a good thing for a long time.

"Actually, we only found out today, and I showed it to Manager Zhang to know how much this thing can be worth!" Li Yang touched his nose a little embarrassed, there was always an uncomfortable feeling of lying in front of He Lao.

"Normally, it should be between five hundred and six million, and if it is auctioned, it may also be sold for eight million, so it's hard to say!"

He Lao looked at the jade snuff box on the table, and after thinking for a while, he said slowly.

"So much!" Li Yang was stunned for a moment, glanced back at Li Cheng, and found that he was also looking at him blankly, and the two brothers were frightened by this price.

"He Lao means that if you like it, you may shoot higher, and if you don't meet someone who particularly likes this, you may shoot lower, but no matter what, five or six million is still worth it, this is its market value!"

Zhang Ying explained to Li Yang in a whisper, in fact, Zhang Ying himself is an antique lover, and when Li Yang showed this thing to Zhang Ying, he found that it was a good thing with a wide open door, so he took them to find He Lao.

"So, Old He, do you know who likes this thing? To be honest, our whole family doesn't understand, and it's panicked to keep it in our hands, so it's better to sell it directly! ”

After thinking for a while, Li Yang cautiously said to He Lao, today is the first time he has dealt with He Lao, and he doesn't know He Lao's surname and temper, and he doesn't know what he thinks about wanting to sell such a good thing.

After being silent, He Lao raised his head and looked straight at Li Yang: "You want to sell?" ”

"Yes, if others know that we have five or six million things in our family, we will not be remembered by thieves every day!" Li Yang hurriedly lowered his head.

He Lao nodded: "Yes, Huaibi is guilty, this thing is not necessarily a good thing for you, it is good to sell it, if you really want to sell it, I can take over, how about I give you six million?" ”

Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, He Lao's willingness to buy it by himself was the best for Li Yang, and it was really true to exchange this thing for money as soon as possible.

"He Lao, do you think this is okay, if you didn't tell us this today, we wouldn't know its actual value, if you want it, it's only five million, anyway, five million is much higher than we expected!"

He Lao's eyes suddenly flashed with a gleam, he glanced at Li Yang in surprise, then at Zhang Ying, and then nodded lightly: "Okay, old man, I'll take advantage of you today, I want this thing, you write your bank account number to me, and I'll transfer the money to you immediately!" ”

"Okay!" Li Yang hurriedly took out his bank card and copied down the number, and handed it to He Lao with both hands: "He Lao, my brother and I have to go home today to tell our parents the good news, and I won't bother you today!" ”

"Let's go, you're going now?" He Lao looked even more surprised, and pointed to the snuffbox: "Aren't you afraid that after you leave, I will detain the things and not give you the money?" ”

"He Lao, from the first time I saw you, I felt that you were a knowledgeable and talented person, I believe in you!"

Li Yang shook his head with a smile, Zhang Ying on the side smiled and nodded slightly, and He Lao's eyes flashed with appreciation.

"Okay, I won't keep you, old man, don't bother the old man, you will often come to play when you have time in the future, and I will tell you stories!"

He Lao stood up and personally sent Li Yang and them to the door, and did not close the door and go home until Li Yang and their car left.

"Okay, Li Yang, I really didn't see that you actually have such a high amount of energy, yes, really good!" As soon as he got in the car, Zhang Ying praised Li Yang wantonly.

"What a lot of energy, it's getting dark, I just want to go home early for safety!"

Li Yang smiled bitterly, in fact, he didn't dare to continue to stay in front of He Lao, he was very unaccustomed to lying to such an old man all the time.

"Hehe, whatever you say, but Li Yang, I can tell you, what you did today is too right, don't worry, Qian He Lao is afraid that he has already hit your card, and this relationship with He Lao will help you a lot in the future, you kid, how can you be so lucky everywhere?"

Zhang Ying sighed and said, Li Yang didn't know the true identity of He Lao, and when he knew it later, he found that what Zhang Ying said was not exaggerated at all, and even said it low.
