Chapter 0886 - The Stone Speaks Himself
Although Master Wang tried his best to hide his exhaustion, the worry and slightly pale cheeks hidden between his eyebrows inadvertently betrayed the anxiety in his heart at this moment.
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!
Liu Yuhao could see at a glance that Master Wang had something in his heart, and it was a big deal.
Can Master Wang's character, even if there is a big trouble, he will not easily confide in others, Liu Yuhao's eyes fell on the apprentice Xiao Wu on the side, and said: "Xiao Wu, has anything happened in the past few days?" ”
"Things? What's up? ”
Suddenly asked about himself, Xiao Wu didn't react, and was stunned on the spot.
Master Wang smiled, pointed to the spotlessly wiped Taishi chair, and scolded with a smile: "Bastard boy, are you here to visit my old man or to inspect the work?" ”
Then, Master Wang waved his hand at Xiao Wu and said, "You go and get busy with yourself first." ”
Xiao Wu didn't dare to overstep, so he nodded and returned to his post.
"How dare I come to inspect any work!"
Liu Yuhao smiled, turned around and introduced He Jiayi to Master Wang, and also accentuated the tone of the word "girlfriend".
"Hello Master Wang!"
He Jiayi was really well-behaved, and was grandly pushed out by her beloved, she drank honey in her heart, and put a soft little hand in Liu Yuhao's palm.
Amazing!
Master Wang saw that the doll-like little Nizi also really liked it, and was shouted sweetly, and his face was full of use, and he laughed happily, and he had to give a peace buckle that he had treasured for many years to Xiao Nizi as a meeting gift.
He Jiayi was born in a beautiful family, and she has much more knowledge of jewelry than ordinary people.
She saw that the peace buckle was warm and crystalline, especially the verdant, as if it was about to flow out, and it couldn't be mixed out on the palette at all, and it was soft to the extreme, so she already knew that it was worth a lot, so she naturally refused to accept it.
Liu Yuhao smiled and waved his hand and said, "Since it was given by Master Wang, then you can accept it." ”
With Liu Yuhao's current net worth and ability in gambling stones, what kind of jade can't he get? But Master Wang, as an elder to a junior, already regarded He Jiayi as his own relative.
As the saying goes, the elderly dare not quit!
After greatly satisfying Liu Yuhao's vanity, Xiao Nizi still accepted Master Wang's gift.
Who says women are inferior to men?
Now it seems that He Jiayi's little girl's mind is no worse than Liu Yuhao's, at least she knows how to be a woman, especially to be a "sensible" woman, she must first give her beloved man enough face in front of outsiders, so that she can have face.
Who can be underestimated by the children of the family?
It's just that encountering Liu Yuhao, an alternative like a demon, is naturally another matter.
"Let's wait a little longer for tea."
Liu Yuhao smiled and beckoned to his apprentice Xiao Wu.
Things that can make Master Wang embarrassed must not be simple, but Master Wang seems to be reluctant to mention it, so he can only inquire by himself, "Xiao Wu, come here." ”
Xiao Wu was slightly different, but he still put down the work in his hand and walked over again, and asked with a smile: "Mr. Liu, do you have anything else?" ”
"I'll ask you!"
Seeing that Master Wang's face was full of reluctance, Liu Yuhao deliberately turned sideways, blocked Master Wang behind him, and said with a smile: "Has the Guangzang Pavilion received any unsightly objects recently?" ”
"This"
Xiao Wu glanced at Master Wang in embarrassment, but still said in a low voice: "Collect, collect two pieces of Tianhuang." ”
"What is Celestial Yellow?" He Jiayi's beautiful eyes raised slightly and asked.
Liu Yuhao smiled and said: "It is Tian Huangshi, which is a unique soft gem in my country, and the old man has the seal of Tian Huangshi on his desk." ”
So He Jiayi knows.
In the world, only a piece of less than one kilometer in Shoushan is produced, because the hue is generally yellow, and it is produced in the field, so it is called Tian Huangshi.
For hundreds of years, the real Tianhuang stone has long been excavated.
Because its material is warm and greasy, it ranks first in the soft carved stone, so it was offered to the palace as a tribute by the Ming and Qing dynasties, and was carved into the imperial seal and artistic ornaments.
As the "king of stones", Tianhuang stone has always been expensive. The old man's seal was bought with a month's salary back then, and he also inherited a lot of favors.
There is a very strange phenomenon!
Whether it is a general in charge of the army or a scholar of letters, everyone unanimously believes that collecting or using Tian Huangzhang is more elegant and tasteful than jewelry and jadeite.
Liu Yuhao glanced at Master Wang, who was depressed, smiled faintly, and said, "Xiao Wu, go and bring those two pieces of Tianhuang over and I'll take a look." ”
"Ugh"
Xiao Wu's face turned embarrassed again, and he glanced at Master Wang, who was only interested in drinking tea, and shook his head gently.
"Don't look at it!"
Master Wang waved his hand slightly, with a look of loss, and said, "Those are two imitations, don't look at them." ”
After speaking, the wrinkles on Master Wang's face seemed to quietly increase with the unhappiness in his heart, and when Xiao Wu saw this, he immediately shrank his head and retreated to the counter.
Liu Yuhao knows that the so-called Tianhuang, which is known as "Tianhuang" in the current market, has soft radish patterns, but the appearance is mostly oval.
Although some are yellow and thick, they are comparable to Tianhuang, but the radish patterns in the stone muscle are relatively disorderly; Although some are delicate and clean, the stone is fine and soft. Some people use the yellow Lychee Cave stone to carve seal buttons and sell them as Tian Huang.
Fraudsters are hateful!
But their cheating methods are superb and tight, which makes people unguardable, and even insiders often get their eyes out for some psychological reasons.
Not to mention far away, let's just say that a few years ago, the old man Qi was once blinded by a piece of counterfeit Tian Huang, and almost bid two million for a high imitation Tian Huang in a store not far in front of him.
What's more, there are even fraudsters who take the yellow pebbles in the Duling pit to deceive the beginners who play with stones, or use countless small pieces of Tianhuangshi glue to synthesize Datian Huangshi, or inlay Pintian Huangshi blocks on the coarse Tianhuangshi, and make huge profits.
Suddenly, Liu Yuhao thought of something, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and said, "Teng Yi, you go outside the door to have a look, if you see that Mr. Sun, come in and tell me to know." ”
"Understood."
Fuji Yi nodded, and then went out.
"Brother Hao, who are you?"
Master Wang's face was full of doubts, and he looked at Liu Yuhao very puzzled, as if he wanted to know the answer.
Liu Yuhao smiled and said: "Master Wang, it is said that some people in the Pan family are good at fraud, you just take out that Tian Huang and let me see what it is, if I encounter it next time, I won't be blinded!" ”
Master Wang was begged by Liu Yuhao, so he shook his head helplessly, his face was full of shame, and said, "Just take a look, don't say it." ”
This is the habit of the older generation.
In the early antique shop, people with more conservative ideas didn't like the news of their own deception, especially a store with a certain reputation like Guangzang Pavilion, and they didn't want outsiders to doubt their professional ability.
However, few people can abide by this rule now, and many people do not even cover it up, buy a large number of high-quality imitation objects, and then process them themselves, and finally sell them as genuine, not only that, but they also boast everywhere about how superior their "technology" is
In front of money, those people's cheeks are probably the least valuable thing in their hearts.
Xiao Wu quickly took out a box from the room, put it on the table and opened it, and two seal-shaped Tian Huangshi appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Hee-hee, it looks like jelly."
He Jiayi had no scheming, but when she saw something, she first said her first feeling.
But Xiao Nizi also had her own thoughts, and then asked: "Why is Grandpa's one a seal, and these two are seals?" Couldn't Tian Huangshi be made into something else? ”
Liu Yuhao smiled faintly and said: "Why not, it's just that there are more cases of using seals, and there are many people who specially find Tian Huang to cut the pieces for themselves." ”
"Oh!"
He Jiayi nodded, and seeing that Master Wang had always had a sad face, she spit out her little pink tongue, and sat down beside Liu Yuhao obediently, not speaking easily.
In ancient times, the seal material was mainly copper or jade, and it was not until the Yuan Dynasty that the crown began to be printed with flower stone, and since then, the literati have mostly used stone for sealing.
However, in the long history, there are many types of raw materials that can be used as printing materials, such as gold, silver, copper, iron, jade, stone, agate, amber, porcelain, bamboo, wood, crystal, etc.
But if someone really wants to take Tian Huang as a handle, I am afraid that they will be scolded for having eyes and no beads, and they will destroy the heavens.
The texture of the stone is condensed, the stone color is beautiful, and it should be the king of the stone. Someone once praised Tian Huangshi like this: "There is no labor to draw water, a thousand people are terrifying, there is a treasure of gold, the vast mansion gathers the clan, there is no name, the name is called the Stone Emperor, hacking away the puddles, mountain pits, panic and ambush." ”
Liu Yuhao first carefully examined the stones in the box, and then released his ability to look through it, and said: "Master Wang, I don't know much about Tian Huangshi, but according to what I see, these two pieces should be Goryeo Huangshi." ”
"You, are you sure?"
Master Wang's cloudy eyes flashed suddenly, and his expression was full of horror.
Liu Yuhao smiled faintly, Master Wang's expression just now was already admitted, why did he ask this question? It seems that Master Wang wants to test himself.
Since this is the case, Liu Yuhao no longer hesitated, and smiled and moved out the knowledge in the deerskin atlas in his mind: "There are many ways to counterfeit Tianhuangshi, but there are not many stones that can be impersonated, usually with yellow jelly, alpine horn jelly, ox bile yellow, white water yellow and so on. ”
Master Wang nodded slightly, and the horror in his eyes had slowly turned into appreciation.
Liu Yuhao took a sip of water and said, "But no matter what stone you just mentioned, they all have a common shortcoming. ”
"What are the drawbacks?"
Master Wang is the master of Tian Huangshi in Panjiayuan, and the reason why he has this question is actually to see how well Liu Yuhao understands Tian Huangshi.
Now that he has opened the chatterbox, Liu Yuhao didn't care about the suspicion of having an axe, and said with a smile: "In order to make the stone in their hands closer to Tianhuangshi, those counterfeiters have a variety of strange methods, and the tools are endless, but they have forgotten the most important point, that is, in fact, the stone itself can speak." ”
