Chapter 487: Wine and Jade
"Old Chu, carving such a perfect thing, your friend should have worked very hard, what is the cost of his carving, I will send it to him now." Looking at these three pieces of jadeite that were like real ones, Fang You said with a smile.
Chu Lao smiled faintly, "Hehe, Xiaoyou, there is no need to mention the matter of money, saying it will only insult these three perfect jadeites, my old friend has realized a higher carving skill because of these rare jadeite, and this kind of enlightenment, like these jadeite, is priceless." ”
"These three carved jadeite, like his beloved things, how can it be measured by money, these three jadeite, is what he wants me to give back to you, compared to you to get these three perfect jadeite for free, my friend's harvest is greater, this is just to take what you need."
Fang You nodded, and said with a smile: "Old Chu, the kid has been taught, thank you for your friend for me, so that these three pieces of jadeite, which are already rare, have become more precious and valuable, I don't care, but the meaning contained in them is a real priceless treasure, and it really can't be measured by money." ”
"Xiaoyou, come, let's have a few drinks, watch the flowers and plants in the courtyard, in these wonderful charms of jadeite, we may be able to get different feelings." Chu Lao smiled and brought the wine jug to the table, which was the best Huadiao wine soaked in ginseng for thousands of years.
Fang You smiled and readily agreed, drinking the rich and fragrant Huadiao wine, reminiscing about the wonderful taste formed by the wine and ginseng, and when watching Liu Guan and Zhang Jade, they had a heroic spirit of drinking peacefully in the midst of thousands of troops.
When looking at the figures of the spring ribbon colorful landscapes, they have a kind of idyllic and quiet peace like drinking and having fun.
When watching the royal purple Nine Heavens Xuannu Niangniang, a feeling of being on the top of the nine heavens, tasting fine wine, looking at the clouds, and the feeling of being high up in all living beings is born in my heart.
The wine and jade, these unique feelings formed made Fang You and Chu Lao drink extremely happily, and the wonderful feeling in their hearts made them laugh.
"Xiaoyou, this antique auction should be your kid's plan." While drinking the wine, Chu Lao asked with a smile.
Fang You raised his glass to Chu Lao, "Chu Lao, you are really as wise as a torch, and I can't hide anything from you." ”
"Don't be a sycophant, except for you kid, a peaceful person like Dong Qilin didn't come up with such a ruthless plan at all, some of my old friends were also cheated by you, and they called me to complain, they have been in society for most of their lives, but they didn't expect to be fooled by you hairy boy, when they were young, they didn't take advantage of me, hehe, Xiaoyou, I want to thank you for speaking out for me." As he spoke, Old Chu's questioning tone turned into a thick schadenfreude.
Fang You couldn't help but smile helplessly, Chu Lao's words were too easy to make people think crookedly, "Chu Lao, it was they who tricked themselves, not me, if they didn't despise our auction house, they would naturally not regret it for the rest of their lives." ”
"Xiaoyou, I don't blame you, this plan is really good, compared to vigorously promoting those two finale items, this will enhance the popularity of your Longyou auction house even more, and at the same time let everyone have a sense of dependence and identity for your auction house, some rich people, but they have never experienced what it means to regret for life, this time they have realized it, and they will definitely become the most staunch supporters of your auction house after that." Chu Lao said with a smile.
Fang You smiled, as Tong Chu Lao said, this strategy does not care about the gains and losses of the moment, but plans for the long term, with this regret, when the next Longyou Auction House holds another auction, even if they hesitate, they will be turned into firm by the regret in their hearts.
Looking at these three perfect jadeite, Fang You even didn't want to take them to the small island country to participate in the exhibition, such a priceless carved work, leaving it for himself to enjoy, it was already not enough, not to mention that he had to take it to the scum of the small island country to appreciate.
However, on the contrary, these three pieces of jadeite can also make those people at the exhibition stunned by their big teeth, and during the period of getting away from the art and really getting in touch with antiques, Fang You has seen a lot of antiques and a lot of jade works, except for some extremely good, most of them cannot be compared with the current three pieces of jadeite.
Among them, there may be the rare perfect color of these three jadeite, but its carving skills are the decisive key.
Just jadeite may be shocking, but it will never have such a shocking wonderful feeling.
After thinking about it, Fang You decided to discuss with Chu Lao before making plans, so he took a sip of Huadiao wine, and after savoring the wonderful taste in it, he said to Chu Lao with a smile: "Chu Lao, Yu Qing said that in the near future, the world jewelry exhibition will be held in a small island country, and I want to go with her, and with these three perfect jade works, let everyone who participates in the exhibition experience the beauty of our Chinese jade culture for thousands of years, what do you think?" ”
Since he had already decided, Fang You didn't go around in circles again, because between him and Chu Lao, there was no need to be so polite, before, Fang You's level was not good, he could only listen to Chu Lao's teachings quietly, but with the rapid improvement of his antique attainments, now with Chu Lao, he could discuss some antique knowledge without any obstacles.
This has changed them from a mentor and an apprentice relationship to a mentor and a friend.
Chu Lao was stunned for a moment, and then a soft smile appeared on his face, "Xiaoyou, in my opinion, you take jade to let them see that things are small, and the most important thing is that you don't worry about Ye Yatou going to the exhibition as a girl." ”
Fang You couldn't help but smile bitterly, Old Chu was really an old fritter, his eyes were vicious and clear, "Old Chu, you are really as wise as ......"
Hearing Fang You's words, Chu Lao hurriedly waved his hand, "Don't be a sycophant, although the small island country is safe on the surface, but Ye Yatou is a beautiful woman, there will always be a lot of discomfort, you go to take care of one or two, it is also right, you mentioned to take these three pieces of jade, it is not unnecessary, a few years ago, some people in the jade world of the small island country said that our jade culture in China for thousands of years has declined, and it is also necessary to go and let them open their eyes, so you can take a piece with you." ”
"Well, Old Chu, I understand, I will definitely not let you down, how can the dirty culture of the small island country be compared to us." As he spoke, arrogance appeared on Fang You's face.
Chu Lao smiled and shook his head, "Xiaoyou, a little prejudice is inevitable, but remember, when you really face the enemy, you must not take it lightly, because even a child can kill people at special times, although the small island country is small, there are some things that we need to learn." ”
Hearing Elder Chu's words, Fang You didn't care like others, but nodded deeply, "Elder Chu, I remember." As Tong Chu Lao said, although the small island country is small, but a few decades ago, it occupied most of China, who is strong and who is weak, which is complicated, and it cannot be summarized in a few sentences.
Chu Lao nodded with satisfaction, with the improvement of Fang You's fame and wealth, he was not as proud as others, he didn't take everything in his eyes, and he became more and more calm, and he was able to understand what he said to himself as always, which was indeed something that ordinary people couldn't do.
"Xiaoyou, do you want to send you an assistant this time?" Chu Lao asked with a smile, after all, although it is not dangerous to go to a small island country, some small difficulties will still appear.
Fang You smiled, threw the wine glass into the distance, and then moved quickly, catching the wine glass in mid-air before it hit the ground, during this time, the full wine glass did not spill out at all.
"Oh, I forgot, you kid is still a martial arts master, a little ordinary, not your opponent at all, so I'm relieved." Chu Lao smiled, as if he remembered that Fang You's kid's Tai Chi skills were far from being comparable to ordinary people.
In Pingzhou, fighting against a soldier, he won a fierce battle with a group of outlaw smugglers on the sea, but he was still unscathed, and he kicked one of them into the door panel, although it was a wooden plank, but it was enough to see that Fang You's skills were extraordinary.
This may be related to the complementarity of Taijiquan and Fang You's peaceful character, and it also has a great relationship with his insistence on practicing Taijiquan 365 days a year, as a day, of course, there may also be a powerful effect of thousand-year-old ginseng.
Even those who don't have any martial arts foundation can feel that their bodies are gradually recovering to health, not to mention people like Fang You who practice martial arts, and their thousand-year-old ginseng will definitely play a greater role.
"The war launched by the small island country a few decades ago plundered our land of China, countless cultural treasures, although the number of which cannot be compared with the Eight-Nation Alliance when it entered Tianjing, but the loss and impact of our 5,000-year-old Chinese culture is no less than that time, if you have time, go to the local museum to see, look at our lost cultural relics, it will also help you." Chu Lao shook his head and sighed.
Although the loss of cultural relics is large, it is far less than the trauma on people's hearts.
Fang You nodded, his heart was also a little heavy, the loss of antiques, relying on one person and one group, could not play a big role at all, but this effect was much stronger than doing nothing.
Before he really came into contact with antiques, Fang You had some understanding of these things, and the fact that he came into contact with antiques was even more shocking.
When he heard that Ye Yuqing wanted to go to a small island country, he insisted on going, part of which was naturally to protect her, and part of it was because of these reasons, he had to go to a small island country, so it was better to go now.
