Chapter 80: Ancient Jade
"What are you worried about, why is this expression?" Han Yue asked with some surprise when he saw Liu Ming's face change.
"Ahem, I found out that I haven't paid the money yet, can this test score still be counted?" Liu Ming sneered.
"Poof!" When Han Yue heard this, he laughed, "That's it, I already handed it over to you in the morning, you can rest assured." ”
Saying that, she pulled Liu Ming and said, "Okay, let's go eat first." Also, don't forget to meet my parents at the café tomorrow morning! ”
Liu Ming nodded, of course he wouldn't forget it.
Maybe she had already taken the test today, so when Liu Ming sent her home, he drove Han Yue's car directly.
Han Yue did not live in the Han family, but had her own house outside.
So after Liu Ming sent her home, Han Yuejiao smiled and said, "Why don't you go up and sit down?" ”
Liu Ming was a little moved, you know, a lonely man and a widow, when he arrives at her house, maybe something unknown will happen.
However, what happened to me and Yang Yingying just now, and I still have a girlfriend in my hometown, which is not good to think about.
Liu Ming sneered: "Forget it, let's do it next time." ”
Han Yue let out an "oh" in disappointment and said, "Okay, I'll go up first." By the way, you can take my car and drive it first. ”
Liu Ming didn't refuse, and drove home directly.
Han Yue looked at his distant back, and suddenly burst out laughing: "This bastard, you still have a little conscience!" ”
On the way back, Liu Ming frowned and pondered.
I'm going to see Han Yue's parents tomorrow, so I can't buy a piece of China and bring a box of apples to see Han Yifeng like today.
"And what should I buy?" Liu Ming felt that it was a bit vulgar to buy anything, not to mention that the other party couldn't look down on it if it was cheap, and he couldn't bear it if it was expensive.
What a headache!
Just when he had a headache, he suddenly saw a shop called "Antiquities Convention Hall".
"The Antiquities Arena? Don't know what you're selling? Liu Ming stopped the car and walked over.
The location of this shop is not bustling, on the contrary, it is a bit remote. There are also many birds in front of the door, and now that it is night, there are even fewer people coming.
Liu Ming walked in, and the waiter glanced at him, ignoring it, so that Liu Ming shook his head helplessly: "What are you selling in this antiquities conference hall?" ”
Liu Ming asked, and suddenly his eyes straightened.
Because he found that there was a painting hanging on the wall, and the title of the painting was "Zhang Daqian", and the name was "Xiaoxiang Tu". Although his appreciation for the scroll is not very good, he always has a feeling that this painting is real!
"Huh?" The waiter was slightly surprised when he saw Liu Ming staring at "Xiaoxiang Tu", and then said lightly, "There are a lot of things you can't imagine, we have them all for sale." But there's one thing we won't tell you between true and false. ”
If you don't distinguish between the real and the fake, doesn't that mean that what you buy is real, and what you buy is fake?
Liu Ming was a little speechless, so he pointed to "Xiaoxiang Picture" and said: "Since this is the case, then I bought this painting." ”
When the waiter heard this, he laughed and said, "Sir, this painting is not for sale!" ”
Well, this waiter's attitude is too bad, but Liu Ming doesn't care about her and looks around.
There are a lot of things here, such as incense burners, jewelry, copper tripods, picture scrolls, pen, ink, paper and inkstones, which are displayed neatly, and they are really varied and everything.
"Huh? What is that! "The lights in the store are actually dim, maybe because I am afraid of damaging these things.
But in the corner, there is something faintly emitting a soft light, which is very comfortable for the eyes.
Liu Ming pointed out, and the waiter took it out, and said lightly: "This is an ancient jade, the specific age cannot be examined, and the jade quality is similar to mutton fat white jade." Although half of it is missing, it costs 200,000. ”
"What!" Liu Ming was taken aback, this Fang Guyu looked good, but half of it was missing, and it was still sold for such an expensive price?
"Show it to me." Liu Ming stretched out his hand to take it, and as soon as he started it, he felt a warm current coming from the ancient jade, and then it flowed through the limbs and bones of his body, making him feel comfortable all over his body.
"This jade is weird!" A thought rose in Liu Ming's heart, but he deliberately said with a painful face, "Shouldn't this thing be cheaper?" ”
The waiter said lightly: "We are selling something, refuse to bargain!" ”
Liu Ming was speechless, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, then I'll pay the bill by card." ”
When the waiter heard this, he finally had a smile on his face. Because there are very few things here, they are sold, and the prices are too high.
can sell it casually, and her share will not be less.
However, this piece of ancient jade is still a little cheap......
Thinking of this, she smiled slightly and said, "Sir, if you buy two things, I can give you a nine-point and eighty-eight discount!" ”
"Isn't it cheap?" Liu Ming was stunned.
But seeing the waiter's somewhat treacherous smile, he understood that this woman didn't think of herself as a Kaizi at all!
No matter what, she didn't force her to buy and sell, not to mention that she still had to send something to Han Yue's parents, so let's continue to take a look.
Soon, a picture scroll came into Liu Ming's eyes, and when he opened it, the name turned out to be "The Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu".
This painting was made by Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan and Zhou Fang were the most famous ladies painters in the Tang Dynasty and were well-known in Danqing. Zhang Xuan had the most negative reputation for painting aristocratic figures in the Tang Dynasty, not only being able to express the posture and attitude of upper-class women, but also being good at skillfully portraying the bleak mood of the palace maids being left out in the cold.
"The Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu" was painted by Zhang Xuan in 752 A.D., showing the scene of the favorite concubine of Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Yuhuan's third sister, the Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu, and her dependents traveling in full costume.
The painting is on silk, colored, 51.8 cm long and 148 cm wide. In the painting, eight horsemen, including a girl, a total of nine people, gallop from beginning to end, full of comfort and leisurely vitality.
Liu Ming has heard of the painting "The Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu", the original copy has long been lost, and it is a copy of the Song Dynasty.
However, whether it is from the brushstrokes, the demeanor of the characters or the density of the people, this painting gives people the illusion that "this is the real thing".
In particular, several of the horses, judging by the horse's mane, are only two that have been carefully trimmed. One is in the front dressed in men's clothes, and the other is ridden by a maid with a small child.
"Well, this painting looks too much like the real thing, right?" Liu Ming was shocked in his heart, but his face didn't show any expression, he just looked up at the waitress slightly.
The waiter was playing with his mobile phone and didn't look at Liu Ming at all, which made him feel overjoyed: "How much does this painting cost?" ”
The waiter glanced at the painting and said lightly: "Eight hundred thousand!" ”
"What, so expensive?" Liu Ming was taken aback.
800,000 paintings, even if they are genuine, are they not so expensive?
The waiter laughed, "Is it expensive?" Although we shopkeepers don't know whether this painting is real or fake, "The Lady of the Kingdom of Qiu" is not low in terms of artistic value or historical value. Look at the faces of these women, the sparseness of these sycophants, and the combing of their manes, they are all very clear! So even if it's a fake, it's not a loss if you buy 800,000! ”
Well, this woman actually understands too?
Liu Ming was a little helpless, although the two things cost one million, he could afford it.
Especially, if you don't come up with something decent and be despised by Han Yue's parents, then there will be no hope for yourself and her.
Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I want this thing too!" ”
Swipe the card to pay the bill, and after a qiē was done, he took his things and left quickly.
After going home and studying the ancient jade for a while, Liu Ming found that there was nothing abnormal about it, and Liu Ming felt that he must have lost money.
But it was worth 200,000 yuan, so he found a rope and tied it around his neck.
Early the next morning, Liu Ming got up and took a shower first, took out the suit he bought last time, looked in the mirror for a while, and found that he was handsome and outstanding, and he had an urge to leave an image in the mirror, so he smiled and went out.
Driving Han Yue's black Mercedes-Benz, Liu Ming went straight to Jiangshan Cafe.
He didn't know that at this moment, Han Yue's parents were just about to come out of the house, but an uninvited guest came to the house.
The person who came was an old man in his sixties, with his back slightly bent, as if he was used to being a cow and a horse.
But when he got out of the car and entered Han's house, he was greeted warmly.
The old man smiled slightly, "I'm here to see Han Changzai." ”
Han Changzai is the name of Han Yue's father, and her mother's name is Bai Beibei.
As soon as he heard this, someone immediately informed Han Changzai.
Han Changzai was stunned when he heard this, and hurried over. When he saw this old man, he laughed and said, "Butler Wang, what kind of wind blew you here?" Haha, please be seated, please be seated! ”
The old man's name is Wang Zhen, and he is Wang Jue's housekeeper.
In today's society, those who can afford to hire a "housekeeper" can imagine how much status they have.
Wang Jue's identity is undoubted, but he didn't expect that one of his housekeepers would be treated so well when he came to the Han family!
Wang Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Han, I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I came today because I want to ask you for help." ”
"What's the matter?" Han Changzai was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement, "Butler Wang said with a smile, is there anything in the world that you can't always do?" ”
Wang Zhen laughed when he heard this: "Of course there is, such as this matter in front of you." ”
Han Chang was surprised in his heart, heard the sarcasm in his words, and said secretly: Could it be that this matter has something to do with me?
Just thinking about it, Wang Zhen said: "I heard that Ling Qianjin fell in love with a guy named Liu Ming? It's a pity that that guy has some contradictions with the Dizang Buddha, so I hope that Mr. Han can let Ling Qianjin dissociate herself from him, so as not to embarrass the Dizang Buddha! ”
Upon hearing this, Han Chang was taken aback.
Liu Ming actually offended the Jizo Buddha?
And listening to the meaning of Wang Zhen's words, it was obvious that the Dizang Buddha wanted to clean him up, but it was just because of his own feelings, so he came to say hello first.
After all, no matter how powerful Wang Jue is, if he wants to deal with the Han family, it is not something that can be solved with a single sentence.
The key is that this Wang Jue not only wants to be the best, but also wants to set up an archway, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
Han Chang was groaning and didn't answer immediately!
