Chapter 064 [A Slap in the Face]
"This piece of Qi Nan is Meng Lao's. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Qi Nan agarwood has the effect of enhancing the awakening of the brain and calming the nerves, and if it is made into a bracelet for long-term wear, it also has the effect of strengthening the body. A little Qi Nan powder incense every day can prolong life, and it is a rare treasure for health care for an old man like Mr. Meng.
"Speaking of Qi Nan agarwood, when the old man was young, he met an old Qi Nan with a year of more than 200 years in South Vietnam, but unfortunately South Vietnam was at war at that time, and there was no way to bring this old Qi Nan back to China, which is really a big pity." Old Man Meng showed a look of remembrance on his face and let out a long sigh. If you can bring that piece of old Qinan back to China at that time, it will definitely be a priceless treasure.
Although Qinan agarwood is produced in Southeast Asian countries such as the Malay Peninsula, Cambodia and Indonesia, the best and most authentic quality is still Qinan produced in South Vietnam.
The piece of Qi Nan that Nalan Xuan got was dug up in the deep mountains and old forests of South Vietnam, and he bought it at a high price.
"Xiao Fan, such a piece of rotten wood is actually worth 7 million, which is more valuable than the four golden silk nanmu we found in the Zhao family's old mansion last time."
Fang Xiaojun thought that it was already incredible that the four golden silk nans were sold for 5 million last time, but he didn't expect that this piece of Qi Nan agarwood was even more expensive, and it was really insightful.
"This piece of Qi Nan agarwood is not only a precious Chinese medicinal material, but also a precious spice, and the price naturally cannot be compared with ordinary wood." Qin Fan explained with a smile.
"Jin Sinan?"
Hearing the conversation between the two, everyone present glanced at Qin Fan and Fang Xiaojun suspiciously. Listening to the meaning of this, these two boys have also met Jin Sinan?
"Meng Lao may not know that these two boys found four golden silk nans from the demolished Zhao family's old house a month ago, and they were later collected by me at a price of 5 million."
Qiao Shan explained to Old Man Meng, who was also puzzled, and it was not without the meaning of mentioning Qin Fan.
Hearing the news, the reactions of the people present were different, Boss Xu and Manager Qiu were envious, although they made a lot of money, they made a maximum of one million in a year. Hu Debiao was surprised, and unconsciously glanced at Qin Fangao. In addition to being surprised, Meng Xiaowei was more happy for Qin Fan.
As for Wu Yaozu, it is naked jealousy and resentment, although he is not short of money, a few million is also a lot of money for him.
"Also, the Chenghua Doucai bowl that made a lot of noise a while ago was also seen by Qin Fan, this kid."
As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped, and suddenly their eyes when they looked at Qin Fan changed a little. Just now they were just envious of Qin Fan's good luck, but now these people all had incredible expressions on their faces.
Picking up a leak once or twice can be said to be Qin Fan's luck, but seeing that Chenghua Doucai bowl can't be explained by good luck. As far as he knew, the Chenghua Doucai Bowl had been seen by many experts before, but none of them had seen it and was sentenced to death. In the end, it was discovered by a little-known young man, which was simply unbelievable.
The story of the Chenghua Doucai Bowl is widely spread in the antique circle, and the people present basically know it, but they didn't expect to see that the master of the Chenghua Doucai Bowl was sitting in front of them.
"Sure enough, it's a hero out of a young man, brother, I looked away." Hu Debiao said in his heart that it was no wonder that last time he paid 100,000 yuan to buy the dog, Wang Qin Fan didn't agree, and the family who dared to love was not bad at all.
Qin Fan smiled bitterly, Qiao Shan helped him to promote it, although he wanted to promote himself. But Qin Fan is not used to being high-profile, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, in his opinion, making a lot of money is the king.
"Xiaofan's luck and eyesight are really good, I heard that not long ago he found a copy of Su Shi's "Huangzhou Cold Food Post" by Wen Zhengming, but I don't know if it's genuine."
Hearing Old Man Meng's words, Nalan Xuan's eyes lit up, there are not many Wen Zhengming's works handed down, most of Wen Zhengming's paintings and calligraphy in the calligraphy and painting market are fakes, and most of the genuine works are in the hands of museums or private collectors, and they are rarely seen.
"Little brother, do you have the calligraphy work of Wen Zhengming? It's better to take it out for everyone to appreciate. Nalan Xuan was itchy and urged.
At this time, Wu Yaozu saw that everyone's attention was on Qin Fan, and he had become a dispensable supporting role, no one paid attention at all, and he was even more jealous in his heart, and deliberately interjected, "You can look at a broken script at any time, and it should be my turn to collect it next." ”
Hearing this, the faces of Nalan Xuan, Qiao Shan and the others suddenly became a little unsightly. This Wu Yaozu is really open-mouthed, and he doesn't know why his father asked him to participate in this private fair. I'm afraid this kid has no other ability than to offend people.
However, Qin Fan didn't mind, and pressed down Fang Xiaojun, who almost couldn't help but rush up and beat Wu Yaozu.
"In that case, let's first appreciate the collection that Mr. Wu brought." Qin Fan said with a smile.
"Hmph, then you can look carefully, be careful to blind your dog's eyes."
Wu Yaozu took out a string of burgundy bracelets with bright colors and jewels from his body, and put the bracelet in front of Meng Lao with a proud face.
"The material of this rosary is blood amber, the best of amber, and it is worth more than three million."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes fell on this string of amber prayer beads, the amber on it was a magnificent burgundy color, crystal clear, and the color was very rich and dignified, like a gemstone.
Qin Fan saw that there were a total of 18 amber prayer beads on this bracelet, each of which was the size of a dragon's eye, with high transparency and no trace of impurities. From the outside, it is extremely rare and excellent amber.
According to the Prajna Sutra, the seven treasures of Buddhism are gold, silver, glass, coral, amber, clams, and agate.
Amber is formed by the resin dripping of pine and cypress plants 40 million years ago, buried in the ground for tens of millions of years, and petrified under the action of pressure and heat.
At the same time, amber is also a valuable Chinese medicinal material, Li Shizhen recorded in the "Compendium of Materia Medica" that amber can calm the mind, calm the five organs, clear the mind, and fix the soul. It corresponds to the three schools of "precepts, concentration, and wisdom" in Buddhism, and the practice of amber can help people generate concentration, and it is a treasure for the blessings and blessings of practitioners in Buddhism.
Therefore, amber is often made into rosary beads, which have great benefits for the human body when worn for a long time.
There are many types of amber, which are divided into golden amber, green tea amber, black tea amber, blood amber, insect amber, beeswax and so on.
Ming Zhao Zhi said in "Five Miscellaneous Things" IV, "Amber and blood amber are the top, gold amber is the second, and wax amber is the bottom." This shows the preciousness of blood amber.
The string of blood pearl prayer beads brought by Wu Yaozu is of excellent color, crystal clear, and the color is bright and dignified. It is supposed to be produced in the Baltic Sea, also called medical pober.
If Wu Yaozu's string of amber prayer beads is natural amber, this kind of color and purity can be described as unique, and the value is very high.
However, what was surprising was that Qin Fan's gaze turned around on this string of amber prayer beads, but he didn't see half a cent of treasure light on it.
"Xiao Wu, where did you get this string of amber prayer beads, can you easily reveal it?" Old Man Meng played with the string of amber prayer beads for a while, groaned for a while, as if he saw something, and asked thoughtfully.
It's just that Wu Yaozu, who got carried away, didn't notice Old Man Meng's expression, and said with a show-off face, "Speaking of this string of amber prayer beads, it's a big deal." ”
"I bought this string of amber prayer beads from a friend who is an authentic descendant of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and his ancestor is a Belle Lord. I heard him say that this string of amber rosaries was handed down by their ancestors and has been passed down for many generations. In the Qing Dynasty, it was still Cixi Lafayette who enjoyed it, and later gave it to their home, which is said to have a history of more than 100 years. ”
Old Man Meng was silent for a moment, and said with something in his words, "After the Eight Banners of the Manchu Dynasty, it was still Cixi Lafayette who enjoyed it. ”
Qin Fan couldn't help but sneer, what Wu Yaozu said was true, but he didn't know that similar stories were mixed with the vendors in the antique market to tell you more than 800 paragraphs in one go, and there were no duplicates.
In the antique industry, almost every antique has one or several stories behind it, but most of them are nonsense and cannot stand up to scrutiny.
"Xiao Wu, how much did you spend to buy this string of amber prayer beads from your friend?"
Wu Yaozu didn't understand what Old Man Meng meant by asking, and deliberately showed off, "Originally, my friend's asking price was 2.8 million, but I cut 1 million yuan, and it only took 1.8 million to get it." ”
Old Man Meng shook his head, if he saw it well, Wu Yaozu's 1.8 million would be considered a waste.
Seeing Old Man Meng shaking his head, Wu Yaozu suddenly had a bad premonition, and said, "My string of amber prayer beads is definitely top-grade amber, and it was still enjoyed by Cixi Lafayette, everyone should see what price it should be worth." ”
At this time, the atmosphere here was eerily quiet.
Everyone didn't seem to hear Wu Yaozu's voice, and no one made a bid after a long time.
What's going on?
At this time, Wu Yaozu felt that something was wrong even if he was stupid, but he still refused to believe that there was anything wrong with the string of amber prayer beads in his hand.
"Old Meng, do you see my string of amber prayer beads?" Wu Yaozu was a little anxious, and hurriedly asked Old Man Meng.
"Ahem, your rosary is real amber. It's just ......" Old Man Meng paused, looked at Qin Fan and said, "Xiao Fan, you can explain it to Xiao Wu." ”
Well, since you have to die, buddy can't stop you.
Qin Fan complained in his heart, and said unhurriedly, "The material of this string of prayer beads is good amber, but it is not natural, and the year is probably not as good as the Qing Dynasty, at most it is last month." ”
Qin Fan's words were like a slap in the face, and they slapped heavily on Wu Yaozu's face.
