Chapter 731 Gold has a price, and jade is priceless

"Young man, please have tea." At this time, Mrs. Zhou made a pot of hot tea, poured the tea, and warmly greeted the three guests who suddenly arrived in Yiyang.

Although she didn't see it just now, Yi Yang secretly gave the gangster leader a dismount and forcibly kicked out the other party's group, but she knew that the other three came at the right time, and it was a favor for them, after all, someone was on their side and helped them speak.

So her heart was full of gratitude.

"Thank you, Mrs." Yi Yang took the teacup sent by Mrs. Zhou with both hands, and politely thanked him, he followed Li Minjin to call the other party "Master", in terms of gambling stones and jade carving, Teacher Zhou is a senior, his knowledge and experience are much higher than him, there are many things worth asking him for, besides, the other party has indeed pointed him out before, which has benefited him a lot.

After Yi Yang and the others finished drinking tea, Teacher Zhou said without hesitation: "I'll take you to see that jade, anyway, it's not a big secret now, people who shouldn't be looking at it have also shown them, show you what's there, you are your own people!" ”

"Well, show me, maybe you can think of a way to deal with that eighth master from that piece of jade." Yi Yang nodded and said, he felt very relieved to hear the other party regard him as his own.

"Come with me, it's in my study."

With that, Mr. Zhou got up and walked towards the room diagonally opposite, and soon he opened the door and walked in.

Yi Yang and Bai Wenchao followed closely behind, not only Yi Yang at this moment, Bai Wenchao and Li Minjin were also very curious, they wanted to see the "jade cabbage" to see what kind of treasure it was, and it made the eight masters feel excited, and they did not hesitate to lose a superb jade bracelet worth tens of millions.

"The aura in here is really strong!" When he walked to the door, Yi Yang's heart couldn't help but move.

In fact, he had already sensed this extremely strong aura and knew that there were heavy treasures hidden in Mr. Zhou's house, but he didn't reveal anything at all.

"Xiao Yi, come in." Teacher Zhou beckoned inside.

"Okay." Yi Yang agreed, and then walked into the room.

This is a study room that is not spacious, the shelves are full of sweat, and there are some jade objects around, and the whole room seems to be very full.

Although the space is relatively narrow and stuffed with stuff, it is well organized and tidy, Yi Yang and they seem to feel very comfortable, and they have a feeling of wanting to be in it, probably touched by the massive books and exquisite jade inside.

After Yi Yang and the others walked in, Teacher Zhou squatted down, opened a safe next to him, and carefully took out an antique brocade box from it.

"That's right in here."

Teacher Zhou said, and gently placed the box on the desk in front of him.

"Hmm." Yi Yang nodded, needless to say, he also knew that the treasure was hidden in the brocade box, because at this moment, an incomparably strong aura erupted from the box, making him sense an inexplicable wonderful feeling.

Then Mr. Zhou used the key to open the small lock on the box and lifted the lid.

"Wow!" As soon as the box was opened, Bai Wenchao and Li Minjin couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice.

Although Yi Yang had already sensed the aura and was prepared, the moment he saw the jade with his own eyes, he couldn't help but be taken aback in his heart: "It's really a beautiful jade, no wonder that the eighth master was crazy and crazy to think about it!" ”

"Xiao Yi, you see, it's this carving." Teacher Zhou carefully and carefully took the jade carving out of the brocade box, put it on the table next to the box, and showed it to Yi Yang and them.

At this moment, the jade was close at hand, and the three of Yi Yang could naturally see it clearly.

What appeared in front of them was really a large jade jade carving in the shape of a cabbage.

The "Emerald Cabbage" is half verdant and half white, and the contrast between the cyan of the upper part and the white of the lower half is very dazzling.

"Xiao Yi, how is it?" Teacher Zhou asked, at this time he was smiling, his eyes were bright, and he was obviously a little proud, as if he had forgotten the unfortunate things that had happened before.

Yi Yang gasped and said: "Teacher Zhou, this ancestral treasure of yours is really a treasure among treasures, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a treasure among jades!" I was fortunate to see such a treasure jade today, which was really a big eye-opener! I have seen it for a long time! ”

"Really?" Teacher Zhou said with a smile, and he was naturally happy when he heard Yi Yang's praise.

"Yes, it's very unusual, I've never seen such a strange and exquisite jade!" Yi Yang nodded heavily.

Bai Wenchao couldn't help but admire: "It's really beautiful, the legendary 'Jade Cabbage' turned out to be like this!" ”

Li Minjin laughed loudly: "Teacher Zhou, I didn't expect you to have such a heavy weapon hidden in your house!" This jade cabbage is amazing, not to mention the carving, but to say that this jade, it is very remarkable, the white part below is crystal clear, the permeability is so strong, but the glass is planted! ”

Yi Yang nodded and said: "Brother Jin is right, there is no doubt that there is a glass species below, it is very pure, there is almost no flaw, and the texture of the emerald parts on it is not bad, it looks at least above the ice species, and some places have reached the grade of the glass species." I have also seen some so-called 'jade cabbage' on the market, but the texture is rarely as good as ice, let alone glass, so this jade is extremely rare, not to mention that it is still an old jade, with the collection value of antiques, it is very precious! ”

"The whole jade is emerald white and distinctly distributed, the size and shape look very similar to the real Chinese cabbage, it can be described as vivid and lifelike, in addition to its own precious material, such a delicate and exquisite carving is also commendable."

He was full of praise, every sentence was from the bottom of his heart, and it was a heartfelt praise, and there was no false words about slapping the horse.

Seeing such a rare piece of jade today was an eye-opener, how could he not praise and sigh.

Teacher Zhou said happily: "It is even more valuable to be praised by a great expert like you." ”

Yi Yang shook his head and said: "It's not that I deliberately praise it, but it's so good, it's something that exists objectively, and it won't change because of people's will." After seeing this jade with my own eyes, I finally knew why the eighth master was so unscrupulous in order to get it. Although the jade bracelet in his hand is precious, it is much inferior to yours, and he will not exchange it with him no matter what. ”

Teacher Zhou sighed and said, "But now that his plan has succeeded, maybe this jade artifact really can't be saved, because I can't come up with enough money to compensate him except for using this mortgage." ”

Yi Yang said: "How can he be so cheap for his treacherous villain? Teacher Zhou, don't worry, we will definitely find a way to deal with him and solve this matter. ”

Hearing Yi Yang say this, Mr. Zhou put a little bit of relief and didn't sigh so much.

Then their attention returned to the exquisite jade, and Yi Yang and the three of them once again examined it in detail.

"Brother Yi Yang, how do you say that Mr. Zhou's 'jade cabbage' compares to the national treasure of the same shape?" Bai Wenchao asked suddenly.

Yi Yang asked rhetorically: "Are you talking about the jade cabbage collected in the Taiwan and North Palace Museums?" ”

Bai Wenchao nodded and replied, "Yes, it is the jade cabbage used by the Empress Dowager Cixi." It is said that the jadeite is the treasure of the Taiwan and North Palace Museum museums, and it is the national treasure among the national treasures, which is worth a lot of money, and some people estimate it at hundreds of millions! ”

Yi Yang smiled indifferently and said, "You believe it when others say it's worth hundreds of millions?" But also, it is indeed a national treasure, and its value is immeasurable, because it is placed in a museum, an important cultural relic belonging to the country, and you can't buy it with more money, so no matter how high the bid is, it is useless. Worth hundreds of millions, it is a national treasure among national treasures, and that is just people's beautification of it. In fact, it is not the treasure of the Taiwan and North Palace Museum at all, there are too many precious cultural relics than it, and the list goes on. It can only be said that it is a leader in the collection of jade cultural relics, and it has a certain weight.

"Actually, in addition to the value of cultural relics, the jade cabbage is not very good, some experts who really understand jade have seen it, saying that it is not as good as the jade worth millions, you may not know, the jade material is a bean white jade with emerald color, the material can only be said to be very general, as for the carving, it is not so magical and exaggerated, it is not as fine as the current fine carving, it is expensive on the historical value attached to it, after all, it is the palace supplies, but it is not known whether it has anything to do with the Empress Dowager Cixi, we can not verify."

Bai Wenchao suddenly realized: "It turns out that it is just a jade of bean seeds, it is obviously not as good as Teacher Zhou's piece, Teacher Zhou's jade cabbage is made of ice and glass, and the carving is also first-class!" ”

Yi Yang nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, and in terms of age, that jade may not be comparable to it, this one is from the Qianlong period, and that one may be a work from the late Qing Dynasty." The difference between them is that the museum piece is almost a household name and is very famous, while this one is almost buried, and few people know about it, just like a star who has been praised to the forefront of the storm, and a powerful actor with super acting skills, although the latter is not so famous, as long as he is given a chance, he can easily overshadow the name of the former! ”

Bai Wenchao agreed: "It should be like that." Brother Yi Yang, if this jade is brought to the market, how much is it worth? Is it possible to be hundreds of millions? ”

Yi Yang replied without hesitation: "Needless to say, there must be hundreds of millions, and it may be far more than that." As the saying goes, 'gold has a price, jade is priceless', and jade like this has really reached this realm, and it belongs to priceless treasures. Teacher Zhou's ancestor repeatedly told him not to show off, which has a lot of truth, and it is not difficult to understand the crazy behavior of the eighth master. ”
