Seventy-two. Mocking the wind jade pendant
"Not for sale!" Ai Xiaohai replied very resolutely: "I want to sell a house and a car, and I won't sell it to you." ”
A hint of disappointment flashed from Yuan Xiye's eyes.
He is a master of antique collecting, and it is more important than anything else to see how to preserve precious cultural relics and give an explanation to future generations. He has been immersed in it all his life, and even at the age of 65, he has not yet started a family.
Those antique relics are his wife and children.
Although he has not been dating Ai Xiaohai for a long time, he especially likes this young man. Although Ai Xiaohai looks a little lazy and cunning, he is actually a very sunny boy, Yuan Xiye thinks so.
But did you look away this time?
This pair of bucket color Tianma pattern lid jars are too precious, and they must not be allowed to wander abroad, or fall into the hands of people who are vassals and elegant, but do not know how to protect them.
But he really can't get so much cash in his hands, over the years, he has indeed made a lot of money, but it has become a house full of antiques, apart from these, the only most valuable asset is probably this villa.
Does Ai Xiaohai really want to auction this pair of bucket color Tianma pattern lid jars to get a bigger return?
Ai Xiaohai suddenly said lazily: "Old Yuan, why does selling a house and buying a car sound so miserable?" Doucai Tianma pattern lid jar storage you here. ”
"What?" Yuan Xiye thought he had heard it wrong.
Ai Xiaohai still had that grinning face: "This pair of things is so precious to you, I don't know how to maintain it, and I'm afraid that thieves will worry about it, so I just leave it to you to help me keep it." ”
Speaking of this, I felt a little painful: "Okay, I'll leave it to you for safekeeping for the time being, and when I'm really poor and want to wipe my neck and hang myself, you have to pay it back to me, and you are not allowed to repay the debt." ”
"Xiaohai, you ......" Yuan Xiye still felt that he was in a dream: "I told you the value of this thing!" ”
"I know, I know." Ai Xiaohai sighed solemnly: "I'm going to really take it to auction, you have to work hard with me, our friends won't have to do it in the future, and it's even more impossible to find you to help me identify something or something, where can I find a free appraiser like you?" ”
Friend? This young man who is always smiling actually treats a 65-year-old man as a friend?
Yuan Xiye had never had such a warm feeling...... Friend? Well, yes, although I used to treat him like my own child.
"Things, put me here, when you want it, when you come and get it." Yuan Xiye made a solemn promise: "Not only this pair of Doucai Tianma pattern lid jars, anything I have here, as long as you fancy it, you can take it." Of course, it is not allowed to be sold. ”
What's the point of that? Ai Xiaohai thought stupidly, in the face of a lot of valuable good things, he can only watch them, but he can't sell them? Thank you, Ai Shao still has a lot of porcelain like this at the bottom of the East China Sea.
Well, it looks like I'm going to have to find those foreign treasures that sink under the sea in the future, I'll exchange the foreigner's gold and silver coins for money, you Mr. Yuan have no opinion, right?
Yuan Xiye thought for a moment: "Xiaohai, don't you like jade?" I have something for you here. ”
With that, he untied something from his body.
This is a jade pendant, it looks very old, the aura is introverted, the style is simple, and even a little weird. In appearance, it looks like a dog.
"This is Mock Wind, the third son of the legendary dragon." Yuan Xiye explained: "The dragon gave birth to nine sons, and the third son mocked the wind, like a dog, and his life was dangerous. Not only does it symbolize auspiciousness, beauty, and majesty, but it also has the meaning of deterring demons and clearing away calamities. This jade pendant is from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, although it cannot be compared with He's Bi, but it is also extremely precious. What's even more rare is that the aura in its jade has not leaked at all, I have been raising it for a full thirty years since I got the mocking wind jade pendant, but the aura is still restrained, so that it looks ordinary in appearance, and I haven't figured it out yet. Xiaohai, I hope you can raise this piece of jade. ”
Yuan Xiye is also a non-human.
Where does Ai Xiaohai like jade? His favorite is the aura in the jade. Others raise jade in the hope that the aura will be more and more sufficient, but he Ai Xiaohai hopes to be able to absorb all the aura in the jade.
I was not polite, I took it, but I muttered a lot in my heart. Having a jade elephant with three thousand years of aura stored in it is enough for me to have a headache, now good, Dong Zhou? It's been 25,600 years now, right? How do you absorb the aura of this Jade Perry?
Let it go, anyway, there is no harm in having an extra jade pendant that hides a lot of aura.
After chatting with Yuan Xiye for a while, he got up to say goodbye.
Assistant Liu sent him home, and when he came back, he saw that Yuan Lao was still there admiring the Doucai Tianma pattern lid jar, and couldn't help but smile: "Yuan Lao, you have been looking for the Doucai Tianma pattern lid jar, that time you went to the UK, you looked at the British Museum for a whole day, and now it's okay, you only need to stay at home to appreciate it." ”
"yes." Yuan Xiye reluctantly put down the bucket color Tianma pattern lid jar: "Things are rare, and what is more precious is Ai Xiaohai." In the face of huge interests, there are not many people who can not be moved. But Ai Xiaohai can afford to put it down so much, rare, rare. ”
Hearing him say "rare" a few times in a row, Assistant Liu said: "You are so old, you have to have a successor, don't you?" You have never accepted an apprentice in your life, I think Xiaohai is good. ”
"No, no." Yuan Xiye shook his head: "In this business, what you need is to be able to calm down, the outside looks infinitely beautiful, but in fact, only we know the boredom inside." Xiaohai has a good heart, but he can't always calm down. ”
Assistant Liu thinks about it, Ai Xiaohai likes to move, and he does Yuan Lao's business, although he also has to run all over the world, but most of the time he still needs to be calm: "Or?" You can just take him as your godson. ”
Yuan Xiye's heart moved.
I have been immersed in this industry and have never thought of starting a family. I didn't have anything before, but now that I'm getting older, who will I give these belongings I have saved to a hundred years later?
Assistant Liu is a good person, he has been with him for 20 years, from a little girl in her prime years to middle age. She also has her own husband and children, can't she always drag her down? He once revealed that he would leave everything to her after his death, but Assistant Liu refused, and she told Yuan Lao:
"I am by your side, not only for work, but also for an obligation now, and I am used to being with you. I don't like antiques, I never have, neither do my husband and children, and we can't afford that. ”
How many people in this society are not greedy for wealth? From this point of view, Yuan Xiye felt that he was still lucky, at least he knew two. One is Assistant Liu, and the other is Ai Xiaohai.
Now Assistant Liu has put forward a good proposal to let him accept Ai Xiaohai as his adopted son. However, the age difference between the two is too great, and he is about to become Ai Xiaohai's grandfather. Second, will Ai Xiaohai agree?
Assistant Liu has been by Yuan Xiye's side for so many years, and she knows what Yuan Lao is thinking in her heart: "Otherwise, I will test him next time Xiaohai comes." ”
Yuan Xiye nodded involuntarily......
……
A pair of bucket color Tianma pattern lid jars in exchange for a jade pendant, how can this transaction be calculated as their own loss, right?
Impulse! Impulsiveness is the devil. Fortunately, the thing was placed in Yuan Xiye's place, which completely reassured him.
When I came back from the East China Sea, I changed my clothes and went directly to Yuan Xiye, and when I went home again, I remembered to pick up my phone and look at it. Good guys, two days away from home, more than 100 missed calls? And they were all called by Swift, Deng Mengmeng and Xu Yunqi.
I replied to Swift's phone first, and asked Swift where he had been for two days and why he hadn't answered the phone. Ai Xiaohai made up an excuse, saying that he went to Yuechang to play and forgot to bring his phone.
Only then did Swift tell Ai Xiaohai that he had already done the matter of learning to drive, and let him go to see her cousin at any time, promising to help him do it as soon as possible, and then gave him his cousin's phone.
Ai Xiaohai thanked Yuyan, hung up the phone, and dialed Deng Mengmeng again.
Almost as soon as the phone rang, Deng Mengmeng's anxious voice came, and she and Xu Yunqi thought that something had happened to Ai Xiaohai.
Ai Xiaohai made up the excuse just now, and clearly heard Xu Yunqi's voice beside Deng Mengmeng: "Okay, Ai Xiaohai, you don't call us when you go out to play." ”
Deng Mengmeng was relieved to hear that Ai Xiaohai had no accident, and told Ai Xiaohai that there was actually nothing serious, that is, the upcoming sports meeting, she and Xu Yunqi gathered the art department and their good girls together, and served as a cheerleader for Ai Xiaohai, who would have thought that Ai Xiaohai would not call back until today.
After chatting for a while, I hung up the phone. Ai Xiaohai took out the mocking jade pendant that Yuan Xiye gave him, pasted it on the dantian, and tried it.
I rub! No response again? Good, very good, a jade elephant, and now there is another jade pendant. A 3,000-year-old aura and a 2,500-year-old aura, but they are all like misers, and they refuse to leak their aura when they die.
What is this?
Ai Xiaohai was a little frustrated, and at this time the phone rang again, and he thought it was still Deng Mengmeng calling, and he didn't look at it: "Hey." ”
"Ai Xiaohai?"
Kindness? Yin Yunuo? That beautiful police officer? Ai Xiaohai suddenly came to his senses: "It's me, Officer Yin, miss me?" ”
"You always like to joke, be careful I catch you." Yin Yunuo also laughed: "I will come to Xinan in November to exchange for a month, will you be free then?" ”
"Yes, of course there is, I'm free no matter what."
"Okay, I'll call you when I get to Xinan, pay you back, and have a supper."
Ai Xiaohai smiled: "It doesn't matter if you have money, but you must pay it back for supper." ”
This is probably the best news of the day, at least soon you will be able to see the beautiful police officer again.
