Chapter 2: Returning Home (Part II)

"Haha, these two girls, this time you will count on your brother!" The old man was very happy and scolded with a smile.

"Hey, it seems that my brother is still not as important as a gift, so I'm worried about it!" Li Mobai also doted on these two girls very much, and as he spoke, he got up and opened the suitcase and took out the prepared gifts.

"Grandpa, this is a snuff bottle created by Mr. Liu, a contemporary Beijing snuff bottle master, which is made of Swarovski crystal, and Mr. Liu's own painting "Tea Tasting Picture", I hope you like it!" This snuff box was encountered by Li Mobai at an auction in Europe by chance, and he liked it at first sight, so he auctioned it without hesitation.

"Hey, the kid has a heart! I know how to honor the old man! The old man was delighted with his delicate snuffbox. Although it is a current work, it is made of top materials and masters, and the old man likes it very much. Besides, it's still the grandson who honors himself! Can you not be happy?

A snuff bottle is a container for snuff, which is small and easy to carry, beautiful and generous, but at present it is just a beautiful handicraft. Snuff is a kind of tobacco product, originated from the Indians, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties from Europe into China, after processing and transformation into powdered medicinal materials, after sniffing not only has the effect of avoiding the epidemic, snuff is more fashionable in all strata, and quickly integrated into the Chinese artistic style, developed a variety of ingenious snuff bottles, shined in the aesthetic craftsmanship of the Qing Dynasty, and became one of the important manifestations of Qing Dynasty art.

In the world, China is known as the "hometown of tobacco bottles", and snuff bottles are known as "pocket-sized works of art that combine a variety of crafts" for their exquisite production techniques. Chinese snuff bottles, set painting, calligraphy, porcelain, carving, inlay, pondering and other skills in one, the use of porcelain, copper, ivory, jade, agate, amber, crystal, glass and other materials, the use of blue and white, enamel color, five colors, bucket color, pastel, glaze red, carved porcelain, nesting, ingenious painting, glaze, jade, rhino smelting, carved teeth, carved bamboo, lacquer, swinging, inlaid gold and silver, inlaid luodian, yellow and other techniques, absorbing the advantages of a variety of crafts at home and abroad, is regarded as a precious cultural play by enthusiasts, enjoys a good reputation at home and abroad.

The taste of snuff bottles is different from that of cultural plays, and only the quality of the material of the snuff bottle needs to be identified, without the need to verify the authenticity. Because the preciousness of the snuff bottle depends entirely on the quality of the material and the thickness of the workmanship, and has nothing to do with the age of production and the owner of the production. If the material is indeed rare and ingenious, no matter when it was produced, and no matter who it came from, it is also of the highest quality. On the contrary, the material is ordinary, the workmanship is average, even if it is made by Kangxi and Yongzheng Dynasty, and used by Emperor Kang and Yong, it is not valuable, of course, the material of what Kangxi Yongzheng has used is definitely top-level. But then again, it is certain that it is a precious material, made by a famous teacher, and used by a celebrity, and of course it can increase the collection value of a snuff bottle.

"Hey, it's so beautiful!" Seeing that the old man couldn't put it down, Yu Xun also leaned over, "Brother, what did you prepare for me?" ”

"This kid is thinking about your brother's gift!" The old man lovingly patted the little head of the rain piglet.

"Hehe, I want a gift, look at the performance, just wait!" Looking at the anxious appearance of the two baby sisters, Li Mobai felt that this was the taste of home.

"Mom and Dad, this is a classic couple watch, although it is not a top brand, but it is handmade by an old Swiss artist!" Then he took out two Swiss watches and put them on his father and mother.

"This child, no big or small, actually joked with his parents, and the old husband and wife are still lovers!" Mom raised her hand and knocked on Li Mobai's head, but she was not willing to work hard at all, and she was happy!

"Mo Bai, this is not cheap, don't spend money indiscriminately, we are all old, you are still young, and you still want to marry a daughter-in-law!" Dad looked at the exquisite Swiss watch and smiled.

"Wow, it's so beautiful, my parents are ten years younger when they put it on! Hurry up and give me a gift, I'm looking forward to it! Yu Qing also took advantage of the chaos to coax.

"If you want to, show yourself!" The gifts of the old man and his parents were all divided, and it was the turn of the two baby sisters, but Li Mobai sold Guanzi.

"Bad brother, don't, everyone is very well-behaved!" The two baby sisters are one left and one right, shaking Li Mobai's arms and coquettish.

"Okay, okay, if you shake it again, I'm going to break up my brother, and besides, I won't have a hand to get it for you!" Li Mobai was very helpless, so he had to beg for mercy.

When the two girls heard this, they let go of Li Mobai's hands at a lightning speed, and their faces were flushed with excitement.

"Guess, what did my brother bring you?" opened the suitcase, looked at the anticipation on the faces of the two girls, and sold it now.

"Hee-hee, my brother's gift is of course the best, we love everything!" The two baby sisters said at the same time as if they had rehearsed.

"See for yourself, like it or not?" was thundered by the two baby sisters, Li Mobai had no choice but to hand the two boxes to the two girls and let them see for themselves.

"Wow, the latest iphone4, brother, you're amazing!" The two babies screamed as if they were offering treasures.

"If you like it, let's take a look at this." casually handed the two girls two large boxes.

"Wow, the latest ipad is still white, and it hasn't been listed in China yet!" The screams rang out gorgeously again.

"Well, since I already like it so much, then I'll save the rest of the old brother first, and I'll give it to you when I behave well next time!" Seeing the excited appearance of these two girls, Li Mobai was also very happy.

"Mo Bai, look at you spoiling the two girls, spending money indiscriminately, it's expensive and impractical!" Dad is still quite familiar with electronic products, and he is also helpless to look at the electronic products that Li Mobai bought for the two girls.

"Hehe, it's okay, it's not expensive at all abroad!"

"Wow, and, brother, you are so good, you are the best brother in the world!" The two girls kissed Li Mobai's forehead hard one on the left and the other on the right, and left two red marks.

"Uh, you're not a good brother without a gift, right?" Surrounded by two girls, I had to take out two more boxes and divide them among the two.

"Wow, platinum necklace, that's a big diamond!" The two girls were so happy that they were going to faint.

"Mo Bai, you are too exaggerated, why do you buy such a valuable thing for these two girls, this matter is a bit out of tune!" Seeing that the diamonds on the necklace pendant were not small, the mother frowned.

"Mom, it's okay, when I was in transit in Yanjing, I saw a lot of handicrafts sold somewhere, I thought it was very fun, and it wasn't expensive, ten yuan for two, haha!" Li Mobai said with a smile.

"Money, when did my Li family son Lang lack money, what is wrong with spending the money earned by eating and eating on his own relatives, I want to ...... back then" The old man has played with literature and jewelry all his life, and he can see that it is true at a glance, since he doesn't believe Li Mobai's nonsense, he spoke up, but he was halfway through the words, but was interrupted by the sudden ringing of the mobile phone, the ringtone was very unfamiliar, everyone couldn't help but look at Li Mobai, and their eyes were a little weird: Uh, this is just when I got home, the phone came!

Li Mobai was embarrassed, picked up the phone and looked at it, and found that it was an unfamiliar number from the capital, so he knew that it was a call from Jiang Xuhan, after all, only this girl knew that he was using this number for the time being, so he smiled a little weakly, and walked out of the room to pick it up.

"This kid, the butt is not hot yet, and the call came!" My mother smiled and said, "I actually went out to pick it up, eighty percent of it was a girl, and I didn't know how to bring it home, I didn't have a proper shape." ”

"Hmph, no matter which girl it is, as long as the daughter-in-law of my Li family is not that Western girl!" The old man snorted angrily, his tone was a little unkind, "If it is not my race, its heart must be different, then the Western girl must have taken a fancy to my Li family's excellent genetics!" ”
