Chapter 077: Fake Master
Today's Xu Ru is wearing a white dress, and her long hair is hanging down, which is very rich.
"Miss Xu, are you here?" Seeing this, Yi Yang hurriedly stepped forward and greeted with a smile.
"Mr. Yi, I'm sorry to keep you waiting." Xu Ru hurriedly said apologetically.
Yi Yang shook his head and said, "No, I didn't wait long for you to come, you drove fast." ”
After the two stood there face to face and exchanged a few words of greeting, Xu Ru greeted him very warmly: "Mr. Yi, please get in the car." ”
"Well, let's go." Yi Yang Haosheng nodded in agreement.
So the two immediately walked onto the luxury Porsche parked on the side of the road, and the moment they got into the car, Yi Yang's eyes subconsciously swept to Xu Ru's snow-white neck, only to see that her neck and chest were empty, and she was not wearing a necklace.
When he found out about this situation, Yi Yang felt an inexplicable sense of joy in his heart, because in this way he had the opportunity to give away the ruby necklace that he had carefully prepared for a long time.
But this is not the time, Yi Yang didn't say a word.
At the same time, Xu Ru also glanced at Yi Yang's left wrist intentionally or unintentionally, and when she saw that the watch she gave him was wearing it on her hand, at that moment, her pretty face was slightly red, which was naturally a sense of relief and joy.
Then, Xu Ru started the car and drove to the apartment building she rented without hurrying.
"Miss Xu, are all your friends here now? Where are you renting a house, etc.? Yi Yang suddenly asked casually.
Xu Ru shook his head and said, "No, there are only two of them, and the others haven't arrived yet, but it is estimated that they will arrive soon." ”
"yes, I see." Yi Yang nodded lightly.
Xu Ruqiao said with a smile: "They saw that my grandmother left me a treasure beeswax, very valuable, all kinds of jealousy, not to say that the antiques in their house are more valuable than mine, so everyone made an appointment, I want to ask you to help identify it, compare it with each other, and see whose treasure is the most precious." ”
Yi Yang smiled and said, "It should be your best." ”
"Not necessarily!" Xu Ru shook his head and said, "I found that they don't seem to be bad, but I'm a layman and don't know anything about antiques, so I can only ask you to take a look." ”
Yi Yang said: "Well, you should know later." Hehe, I do my best. ”
The two talked and laughed about the appraisal of antiques, and it could be heard that Xu Ru was more interested in this matter now.
In this regard, Yi Yang naturally felt very happy in his heart, and it was undoubtedly a great pleasure to be appreciated by beautiful women.
On the way, Yi Yang didn't forget to call Uncle Hao, he said that he had something very important outside now, so he asked for an afternoon off, and Uncle Hao approved without hesitation.
After a while, Xu Ru drove Yi Yang to the door of the apartment building, and after the car stopped, the two got out of the car and walked upstairs.
"Sister Ying, Guoguo, I'm back!"
When he opened the door, Xu Ru shouted happily.
Immediately, Yi Yang noticed that there were two women in the house, one was older, in her thirties, but the charm was still there, and the other was still very young, about the same age as him, and at first glance she looked quite beautiful.
After hearing Xu Ru's shout, the two women hurriedly greeted her.
"Xiaoru, this is the master of identification, right?" The mature woman asked with a smile.
Xu Ru nodded hurriedly and introduced, "Well, yes." This is Mr. Yi, the antique he helped me identify last time, and he has a very good eyesight. Mr. Yi, she is Sister Ying, she is Guoguo, they are my colleagues and my good friends. ”
"Hello, you can call me Yi Yang." Yi Yang smiled, and his expression was very easy-going.
"Hello, master, we have something we want you to help me see, it's also an antique!" The young girl grinned.
"Oh, I know, there's no hurry." Yi Yang shook his head and said.
Secretly, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said that this is too exaggerated, Xu Ru and the others actually regarded themselves as appraisal masters, but their real appraisal level was less than half a bucket of water, and they were far from experts, not to mention the master-level appraisal master like Mu Lao.
"Mr. Yi, please come in." Sister Ying greeted politely.
So under Xu Ru's enthusiastic greeting, Yi Yang walked in.
Then someone poured tea, and someone brought a fruit bowl to treat them extraordinarily.
"Mr. Yi, you can show me this thing first."
After a while, Sister Ying took out a beautiful small box from her bag, walked up and said earnestly: "This antique is also handed down by my ancestors, my father has always treasured it, but he has never asked a professional master to identify it, I heard Xiaoru say that you will identify this thing, so by the way, I will ask you to help do the appraisal." ”
"It's an heirloom, huh?" Yi Yang said, "That should be a treasure." ”
Although he knows that all "heirlooms" may be strange and should not be trusted, but Sister Ying is an out-and-out layman, and she doesn't need to make up stories to fool people, so she said that things are handed down from ancestors, so there should be a certain origin.
"Mr. Yi, we don't know much about this thing, and we don't know if it's worth anything now." Sister Ying said as she rested the small box on the coffee table, and then opened it carefully.
The moment the lid of the box was lifted, Yi Yang's right eye couldn't help but feel a slight chill, indicating that his eyes had reacted, which also showed that the thing that Sister Ying showed him was an antique and had been around for a certain number of years.
The next moment, Yi Yang's eyes were spotted, and he saw that what was in the box was a swarthy thing, which was inconspicuous.
"Sister Ying, you black thing seems to be ...... It's like a coffin! After seeing that thing, Guoguo blurted out.
"Guoguo, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Sister Ying glanced at her and said, "This is an antique handed down from my ancestors!" ”
Guoguo spit out his powder tongue and said, "But this is obviously like it!" Sister Xiaoru, do you think this antique from Sister Ying's house looks like a small coffin? ”
Xu Ru shook his head and said, "Guoguo, don't talk nonsense, how is this possible?" ”
Guoguo was very arrogant, she was taboo to say that, although the thing in front of her looked really awkward, and she didn't know what it was.
After saying that, she turned her head to look at Yi Yang and looked at his face.
"Mr. Yi, is this thing in my house an antique?" Sister Ying asked impatiently.
Seeing that Guoguo said that the treasure handed down by her ancestors was like a coffin, she was anxious, as if she was afraid that something would go wrong.
Yi Yang smiled slightly, nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, this is an old antique!" ”
"Oh, really?" Hearing Yi Yang's words, Sister Ying seemed to suddenly see a surge of hope, and said happily, "Then what is this?" Isn't the look a little weird? ”
Yi Yang replied, "This is a small carving, very beautifully carved. Can I get started and take a look? ”
"Huh?" Hearing Yi Yang say that she wanted to get started, because she didn't know the jargon to "get started", Sister Ying couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted, and nodded busily: "Of course you can!" You look at it as you like. ”
"Well, I'll take a good look at it first." Yi Yang responded.
With that, he carefully reached out and took the small black carving out of the box, and then turned it over and examined it carefully.
After looking at it for a while, Yi Yang asked, "Sister Ying, let me take the liberty of asking, is there an official in your ancestor?" ”
He called "Sister Ying", and his words were very cordial.
"That's right." Sister Ying was surprised, "How do you know?" My family has been in politics for generations, and my father is now a civil servant. ”
"That's right." Yi Yang seemed to see something, nodded his head and said, "If I guessed this thing correctly, it was given to your ancestor by someone to a big man who was an official, because this thing is an elegant thing, and the meaning is very profound." ”
"Wouldn't it?! This is a big thing?! Hearing this, Guoguo was taken aback and said.
Xu Ru also looked at Yi Yang suspiciously, thinking to himself how something shaped like a coffin could be a "big and elegant thing".
"Mr. Yi, according to what you say, this antique in my house is a very collectible treasure?" Sister Ying asked with surprise and joy.
"yes!" Yi Yang nodded vigorously and replied solemnly, "Don't look at this thing like a coffin, but it means auspiciousness and good fortune, because it means 'promotion and wealth'." ”
"Indeed!" Listening carefully to Yi Yang's analysis, Xu Ru suddenly brightened up and said, "The coffin represents this meaning, so it is very suitable for such a thing to be given to the official." ”
"Well, that's what it means." Yi Yang said solemnly, "So this has nothing to do with the hoodoo at all, Sister Ying doesn't have to worry about this." ”
"I'm relieved to have you say this." Sister Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Guoguo grimaced and said, "Sister Ying, I just said something unintentionally, don't take it to heart." ”
"It's okay, you're not wrong." Sister Ying smiled with relief.
Then she asked Yi Yang, "Is this carving worth anything now?" ”
Yi Yang didn't answer her question immediately, he just gently pushed the "coffin lid" open and said, "You saw it, right?" This can be turned on. In fact, this is a small seal box with a unique shape, which is used to put stamps and other things. ”
Xu Ru and Guoguo looked at this scene with a look of amazement, Yi Yang in front of them was like a magician, and things could exude a mysterious color in his hands, which was unpredictable.
"Sister Ying, your antique seal box is first-class in terms of material and carving, and it is a valuable treasure!" After a pause, I heard Yi Yang say again, "Do you know what material this small carving of the ink cartridge is made of?" Not ordinary wood, but horns, and rhinoceros horns! ”
"Rhino horned eagle?!" Sister Ying wondered, "Isn't that worth more than ordinary wood carvings?" ”
Yi Yang shook his head with a wry smile and said: "That's not at the same grade at all, it's like the difference between stone and jade, the price is one in the ground and the other in the sky." Sister Ying, congratulations, your family's collection of antiques is a treasure, and it is worth collecting! ”
"Thank you! That's great! Sister Ying was overjoyed, and said in a very excited tone, "Mr. Yi, according to your estimate, how much is this rhinoceros horn carving worth?" ”
Yi Yang said: "It's hard to say this. If you send it to auction, it will sell for about 1 million. ”
"A million?!"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Ru and Guoguo both opened their eyes with a look of surprise.
"It's worth so much?!" Sister Ying said excitedly.
"The rhinoceros horn eagle is an old thing again, of course it is very valuable." Yi Yang nodded.
"Mr. Yi, thank you so much!" Sister Ying said gratefully, "I'll have to invite you to dinner when I go back!" ”
Yi Yang said: "Sister Ying, you're polite, it's just a small thing. ”
"Mr. Yi, show me now!"
As soon as he saw the rhinoceros horn carving, Guoguo grabbed Yi Yang's arm and said impatiently.
Yi Yang got up and said, "You take out the things, I'll take a look too." ”
"Well, thank you!" Guoguo hurriedly let go of his hand, and then he also took out a box from his bag, but her box was relatively large, and it should contain a larger antique.
Guoguo immediately took the large antique out of the box and placed it on the coffee table for Yi Yang to inspect.
It was a piece of porcelain, with a colorful, bright and dazzling surface, and it was very exquisite.
"This porcelain vase is very beautiful!" At first sight, Yi Yang praised.
"Mr. Yi, what kind of bottle is this? Is it worth the money? Guoguo asked repeatedly.
Yi Yang said: "This should be a piece of pastel porcelain, an antique!" ”
As soon as he took out this thing, he could be sure, because his right eye could also sense the aura emanating from the porcelain, although the sense of breath fluctuation was not very strong, but that kind of induction power did exist, this is an undoubted thing.
"Pastel porcelain?" Guoguo was surprised, "Isn't this kind of porcelain very valuable?" ”
Yi Yang smiled and said: "This thing is not easy to say, the same kind of porcelain has a very different value, and it has to be judged from many aspects." Don't worry, I'll take a closer look. ”
"Well, look." Guoguo nodded in response.
At that moment, he took a detailed look at the porcelain, mainly from the aspects of shape, glaze, and ornamentation.
After watching it for a long time, Yi Yang suddenly remembered and said with a smile: "This is dowry porcelain, right?" ”
"Yes." "This piece of porcelain was indeed left by my grandmother, and it is said to be her dowry. ”
Yi Yang said fifteen-ten: "That's right, this is a dowry bottle." Dowry bottles are mainly popular in the middle and late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, divided into several models, there are large, medium and small pieces, you should be in the middle of it. ”
"Is our bottle worth a lot in the market?" Guoguo asked.
Yi Yang said: "This kind of bottle is more common, although the value is not very high, but it can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan." Moreover, it has a lot of room for appreciation, and if it is stored for a few years, the value may rise, and then it may be several times, or even dozens of times. Hehe, this thing is like speculating in stocks, maybe it can be sold at a sky-high price, but now is not the best time! ”
"Worth tens of thousands? That's not bad either. Guoguo was pleased, "Some people still say that it's not worth a penny." ”
Although the things she brought for appraisal were far less valuable than Sister Ying's, she was also satisfied after listening to Yi Yang's explanation, and at the same time she had great hopes, she was very optimistic about the antique in her hand, as Yi Yang said, maybe it would become a rare treasure in the future.
For Yi Yang's identification, Sister Ying and Guoguo were very satisfied, and Xu Ruzi, who had been sitting quietly watching from the sidelines, was also very pleased.
The three beauties admired Yi Yang more and more, and in their eyes, he was definitely a master-level appraiser.
However, they didn't know that the two antiques he had just identified were more common, and he had seen them in books and TV before, so they had them at their fingertips, and with the supernatural powers of his right eye, it was easy to make a more accurate judgment.
After the appraisal was completed for Sister Ying, Xu Ru ushered in a few more colleagues, and the next things to be identified were even easier, they were just some ordinary antique toys, although Yi Yang was not an expert, but after all, he had been in contact with the antique shop, and he had taught himself so many things, and he could still see the general antiques.
After all the appraisals were completed, Sister Ying wanted to invite Yi Yang to dinner, but Yi Yang politely refused, so they said goodbye and left one after another, and finally only Yi Yang and Xu Ru were left in the rented house.
