Chapter 30: Apprenticeship

But at the end of the day, what needs to be done still has to be done.

Zhou Lao turned to Gao Mingde with a smile and said, "Mingde, tell this kid, what does he have to say about this jade gourd?" โ€

Gao Mingde has followed Zhou Lao for many years, and when he heard Zhou Lao's tone, he knew that Zhou Lao had already regarded Tang Dou as his nephew.

Gao Mingde said with a sad face at Zhou Lao: "I don't dare to disobey the teacher's order, but this time this kid has made a lot of money, please ask me to do an appraisal, this appraisal fee must be worth at least two such fans, teacher, I'm afraid this kid has already calculated me." โ€

Tang Dou smiled: "Uncle De......"

"Yes, I don't dare to be, you can also call me Brother De like Sister Yang Deng." Gao Mingde hurriedly stopped Tang Dou's salutation.

Tang Dou smiled and didn't grind: "Then I'll climb up, Brother De, you have also seen that the things in my store are some things that can't be put on the table, not to mention gems, even for these miscellaneous items, I am also a layman, if I am not lucky enough to meet Yang Deng, I am afraid that the things in my store are also sold indiscriminately, and there will definitely be a lot of jokes, I am sincerely asking you for advice, and please Brother De for advice." โ€

Yang Deng's face turned red, but he didn't speak.

Zhou Lao interjected on the side: "It doesn't matter, since you have entered this industry, you will have to learn." โ€

Gao Mingde winked at Tang Dou and said, "Boy, there are three people sitting in front of you, and I am shallow, aren't you stumbling in front of you." โ€

Tang Dou comprehended, and asked Zhou Lao with a smile: "Zhou Lao, can you give me some guidance to the juniors in your spare time?" โ€

Zhou Lao smiled: "The little ghost actually took advantage of my loophole, Cheng, the old man still has something in his stomach that can be handled, if you are willing to learn, I will teach you." โ€

Tang Dou was overjoyed, hurriedly got up and made a cup of tea again, raised his hands and respectfully handed it to Zhou Lao: "Thank you, Master." โ€

No one expected Tang Dou to come to such a show, this is completely in accordance with the old rites of worship.

Gao Mingde studied under Zhou Lao for many years, and after graduation, he also followed Zhou Lao to learn antique appraisal, but he was not officially listed by Zhou Lao under the door wall.

After the apprenticeship ceremony, there is a inheritance, that is, a disciple.

Those who have not performed the apprenticeship ceremony, if according to the old saying, can only be regarded as a nominal disciple.

Gao Mingde's eyes looking at Tang Dou at this moment were full of envy, jealousy and hatred, but he couldn't pull his face and immediately learned from Tang Dou to strike while the iron was hot.

Gao Mingde's hesitation, but he missed an opportunity to be officially listed by Zhou Lao.

Old Zhou seemed to be in a good mood today, but after a little hesitation, he reached out and took the teacup in Tang Dou's hand, took a sip of it to his lips, put it on the coffee table, looked at Tang Dou and said with a stern expression: "Since you call me Master, I will accept your disciple today." You've now stepped into the antique business, and your starting point is relatively high, but you have to remember that a gentleman loves money and takes it in his own way. โ€

"Yes," Tang Dou replied respectfully.

Gao Mingde on the side was restless, he wanted to stand side by side with Tang Dou and listen to Old Zhou's teachings.

Yang Deng, who was sitting on the other side, looked at Tang Dou, and didn't know what to say about Tang Dou when she saw the cracks, but she knew Zhou Lao's status in the antique circle, and Tang Dou was able to learn art under the name of Zhou Lao, which would definitely be of great benefit to his future development.

This scoundrel, is he smart, or is he too smart?

Let's say he's smart, but he's able to do something as out of tune as the job posting.

But every time an opportunity floated in front of his eyes, he was able to seize it accurately.

And this villain has more talent for acting, it is so to help him out of the siege in the Emgrand Royal Palace, and the same is true for picking up leaks in the ghost market, just now, he also teamed up with Brother De to make a play, and he didn't even see it, but unfortunately he was recognized by the more sophisticated Zhou Lao.

Yang Deng's cheeks suddenly turned red, this villain took my hand and asked me to be his girlfriend at that time, is it serious? Or is it also a show?

There are too many frauds in the antique shop, although Yang Deng has not experienced it personally, but she has long been unforgettable from her father's life, and she will never trust anyone lightly.

This kind of thing can only happen in the antique shop.

Yang Deng didn't dare to think about it anymore.

She didn't know what her name was when she was born, but she knew why her father had renamed her Lamp.

If it's a lamp, it has to be lit.

Be a bright person, do things brightly.

Yang Deng's mind was wandering, but Tang Dou was still standing there to accept Zhou Lao's teachings, and Tang Dou naturally remembered them one by one in his heart and bowed his head to agree.

The rules that Zhou Lao said were indeed what he thought in his heart, especially what Zhou Lao said, for any inherited objects left by the ancestors, they must not be sold to foreigners, which is said to be in Tang Dou's heart. He solemnly assured Zhou Lao: "Master rest assured, no matter how expensive or low, the inherited objects are all treasures left by our ancestors, and I will never let them fall from my hands to the hands of other races, if I have the opportunity, I would like to take back from them what they snatched from us back then." โ€

Zhou Lao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "It's good that you have this heart, those robbers snatched too many treasures from us back then, and it's not easy to get them back." Without saying that today, let me ask you, what are your plans for your own future? โ€

Tang Dou scratched his head and sneered, "I haven't thought about it yet." โ€

With this magical ring that can be worn at any time, Tang Dou has been busy working as his ancient and modern porter, and he really hasn't planned any future for himself.

Yes, it seems that money is no longer in short supply, and he has a net worth of several million, so what should he do next?

Zhou Lao smiled, pointed to the chair behind Tang Dou and said: "You sit down, I know that you are still young, maybe you haven't thought about these things yet, don't worry about it slowly, people need to have an ideal, that is, have a head, set a goal for yourself, even if you can't reach it for a while, it's no problem, as long as you keep working towards this goal, then you will know that your life has not been in vain when you are old." โ€

Tang Dou, who had just sat down, hurriedly stood up again: "Yes, thank you Master for your teachings." โ€

Zhou Lao smiled and nodded: "It's good that you understand." โ€

As he spoke, Zhou Lao turned to Gao Mingde and said, "Mingde, now you can talk about the inheritance of this jade pendant." โ€

"Yes, Teacher." When Gao Mingde shouted the word teacher, his mouth was a little bitter, and he had already begun to regret that he had missed a good opportunity to officially worship Old Zhou.

Gao Mingde straightened his face, looked at Tang Dou and said: "Brother Tang, what Yang Deng's sister said just now is right, if you just talk about the value of this jade pendant itself, this pendant is indeed not worth more than five million." The glass is full of emerald jadeite, which can be said to be the best in jadeite, its quality is second only to the top imperial green, this gourd pendant is only as big as broad beans, according to the current market situation, the value of this pendant itself should be about 3.2 million. โ€

Speaking of this, Gao Mingde paused, looked at Yang Deng, and asked, "Sister Yang Deng, you should also know the value of this jade pendant." โ€

Yang Deng smiled: "I can estimate the value of this jade pendant itself, but I really can't say anything about its inheritance, please give Brother De advice." โ€

It seems that Yang Deng may really not know, Gao Mingde smiled: "Originally, I was still worried, I was afraid that I would make people laugh if I looked away, but since you don't know, it will be easy to do." โ€

"Stinky boy." Zhou Lao scolded, Gao Mingde has never been so poor and flamboyant in front of him, it seems that his love today fluctuates a lot.

Zhou Lao knew what Gao Mingde was for, but since Gao Mingde didn't open his mouth, he naturally wouldn't force it.

Fate is predestined.

After laughing for a while, the atmosphere was much more relaxed, Gao Mingde returned to the topic and said: "Everyone should know that gem-quality jadeite is basically only produced in Myanmar, and in the past, China has always been respected by jade, and European and American countries have always been respected by diamonds, the value of jadeite in that period was not high, and there were not many people playing with jadeite. When the Qing Dynasty was founded, the Qing government and Myanmar had been in a state of hostility, and the flow of jadeite into our country was also very rare. It was not until the 52nd year of Qianlong that Burma began to pay tribute and pay tribute to the Qing government every ten years. According to the records of the Qing Dynasty Internal Affairs Bureau, Myanmar paid the Qing government a tribute for the last time in the 24th year of Jiaqing, with 100 taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver, in addition to some Burmese native products, there is also a jade elephant, only the size of a palm. At that time, jadeite was just an ordinary ore in Myanmar, and the Burmese used jadeite rough stones to build bridges and pave roads to build courtyard walls. Emperor Jiaqing Emperor saw these tributes from Burma, and smashed the jade elephant in a fit of rage, blasted the Burmese envoys out of the capital, and ordered Jiqing, the governor of Liangguang, to send troops to Burma to teach Burma some lessons, but Jiqing has not yet sent soldiers and horses, but Emperor Jiaqing died after the year, and the matter of sending troops to conquer Burma was shelved, and since then Burma has not paid tribute to the Qing government. โ€

Everyone heard it, Gao Mingde specifically mentioned this past, so the only thing related to the jade gourd pendant that Zhou Lao was playing with in his hand at the moment was the jade elephant in Nagon, Myanmar.

Tang Dou smiled and said to Gao Mingde: "Brother De, it seems that this jade gourd should be part of the jade elephant that Emperor Jiaqing fell?" โ€

Gao Mingde smiled and said: "You are right, this pendant is carved by the craftsman of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Jade Shi Chen, using one of the hind legs of the jade elephant, as for the other parts of the jade elephant, it is estimated that it should also be carved into a gadget by Jade Chen and others, but as far as I know, only this jade gourd pendant really has some inheritance......
