Chapter 686 is in the limelight

Shoushan stone carvings were first seen in the stone figurines of the Southern Dynasty, but the carving skills were rough, except for the burial of the stone figurines, there was no example of collection. Liang Kejia's "Three Mountains Chronicles" says that in the Song Dynasty, Shoushan stone began to be mined in large quantities and used for carving, and the exquisite ones were shipped to Bianliang as tribute and became the plaything of the court. The big ones are displayed in several cases for dignitaries and nobles, and the small ones are for the toys in the hands of literati and scholars. The stone carving art of Shoushan in the Song Dynasty has reached a level that can be enjoyed. Hence the history of "collecting". But most of them were collected by the court and dignitaries. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Shoushan stone began to be engraved and sealed, and therefore there was the production of Shoushan stone seal button art, and the collection of Shoushan stone printing materials and Shoushan stone seal buttons became the "patent" of the literati at that time, and has been influencing until now, becoming a historical social atmosphere.

Don't look at Chen Hualong as a martial artist, but he is "vassally elegant" and likes to "govern the seal", Lin Yu naturally did what he liked and spent a lot of money to collect it.

"My friend was also obtained by accident, and he didn't know how to do it, so he just cheapened me!" Lin Yu smiled and said very casually.

Chen Hualong hesitated for a moment, took the red silk bag in Lin Yu's hand, and carefully spread it on the desk, his performance also aroused the curiosity of many people, and they gathered around, wanting to see what kind of good things could make him so interested.

With the red silk unfolding little by little, I saw that under the background of the red silk, it was a very psychic and clear spirit stone, the color was like a broken egg yolk, the stone skin was slightly transparent, the texture was exquisitely clear, and there were fine and clear radish lines, it was the most cherished Tianhuang jelly in Tianhuang stone.

Looking at this stone, which is not much bigger than an adult's thumb, even other people who don't understand the value of Tianhuang stone can't help but be deeply fascinated, because this stone looks really beautiful, the texture is delicate, pure and flawless, the color is pure, bright, rich, translucent and transparent under natural light, and it is no worse than those transparent jade.

"It's expensive, isn't it?" After playing for a while, Chen Hualong put down Tian Huangshi with some love, raised his head to look at Lin Yu and asked lightly With a smile on his face, his eyes were sharp.

"No matter how rare something is, it needs people who know how to appreciate it to reflect its value." Lin Yu said indifferently: "What's more, a stone, no matter how valuable it is, is only a thousand yuan, it is Uncle Chen's birthday, and Xiao Yu is just talking about his heart." ”

"Huh? A thousand dollars? "Someone is secretly speechless.

90 years of thousands of dollars is not a particularly huge wealth, not to mention that everyone here is either a senior officer in the army, or a local department and bureau level official, but to let them spend so much money to buy such a stone, many people still feel that it is not cost-effective, and even think that this Lin Yu is really worthy of being the first prince of the capital, this kind of thing of buying a stone with a thousand dollars, only people like him can do it.

Only those who really know know that this Tianhuang stone is an extremely rare Tianhuang jelly, it is the best of Tianhuang stone, and it is worth a fortune, it cannot be measured by money at all, even if it is an ordinary Tianhuang stone, it is not 12,000 that can be bought. If it weren't for Lin Yu's wealth and background, it would not be easy to buy this piece of Ertian yellow jelly from the original owner.

Of course, the specific price Lin Yu is not clear. He just asked the people below to help him find it, and he didn't say that he had to find the best Tian Huangshi like Tian Huang Jelly. However, for Lin Yu's instructions, the people below did not dare to be fooled, so they spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy this piece of Tianhuang Jelly from the hands of a wealthy man in a European country, and carefully customized a beautiful and luxurious box inlaid with diamonds and gemstones in Switzerland for storage.

However, when it came to Lin Yu's hands, considering that the box was good-looking, but it was too expensive, Lin Yu had no way to explain the ins and outs at all. Even if Chen Hualong belongs to the same Lin family and has a close relationship, Lin Yu doesn't need to bribe Chen Hualong at all, but he can't make sense, and if he doesn't get it, he will give someone a handle. After thinking about it, combined with his own cognition and understanding of Chen Hualong, he finally simply removed the box and wrapped it in an ordinary piece of red silk.

Now seeing that Chen Hualong loves this piece of Tianhuang Jelly very much, and he can't put it down, he knows that this effort has not been in vain.

Sure enough, it seems that after some hesitation and consideration, Chen Hualong laughed, looked at the Tianhuang frozen stone, and said, "Okay, I'll accept it." ”

Lin Yu smiled happily.

"Xiaoyu, you want to have a drink with me today, and tell me about the old chief."

"Well, Xiaoyu, you have to have a good drink with me and Brother Chen today, otherwise we won't let you go easily.

Lin Yu originally wanted to say something, but Chen Hualong didn't say anything, and pulled Lin Yu towards the No. 1 table. Lin Yu smiled bitterly, there was no way, since he couldn't push it off, he simply followed them calmly.

In addition to the positions of the two generals at the main table today, there were several other generals and high-ranking government officials, and when they saw Gao Yuyuan and Chen Hualong coming over, they all stood up and nodded hello.

When they arrived at the place, Gao Yuyuan and Chen Hualong pushed for a long time for who would sit on the main seat, and in the end, the birthday star was the biggest, Chen Hualong sat on the main seat, and Gao Yuyuan and Lin Yu sat on both sides of Chen Hualong respectively.

General Chen Hualong sat on the main seat, pressed his hands weakly, and said, "Everyone sit." Feel free to order it today. ”

The officers sat down in unison, as straight as a benchmark, and the whole scene was extremely spectacular, but it also made those local officials feel a little uncomfortable.

Lin Yu sat next to Chen Hualong, looking at the suspicious and hot eyes of the people at the table, he could only shake his head and smile bitterly, and said in his heart that today was in the limelight.

Lin Yu has always been not interested in domestic politics, but even so, some people in the Lin family, Lin Yu, still have to win over, and only in this way will the people below follow you with all their hearts, and they will know what kind of person they will follow.

Chen Hualong smiled and said: "Thank you for your thoughts, the children are ignorant, and the banquet is large, but I, a poor old man, am going bankrupt." ”

The officers laughed. Everyone knows that Chen Hualong has always disliked this kind of fame, and in the past, he only invited relatives and friends to get together on a small range on his birthday. But today is the fifty-ninth birthday, and the children are insisting on being lively, especially Chen Xiaoling, whose husband's family has assets of tens of millions, and has long said that all the expenses of the birthday banquet will be borne by them.

The filial piety of the children Chen Hualong is naturally not easy to push, and he can only toss with them, but he still gave a death order, no gifts are allowed, and the value of the gift must not exceed 100 yuan, therefore, among all the birthday gifts, it is estimated that the Tian Huang Jelly given by Lin Yu is the most valuable.
