Chapter 371: The Mystery in the Jade Pillow
PS: Thank you for your friend's glorious charter and leisurely love for your support, thank you!
"How's that going to work! Don't hide it from the old man, I am indeed very interested in these old objects, I will take a look first, if I like it, I will buy it at the market price, as long as you don't sit on the ground, I will accept your love, Ha Lu Ha ...... "Xiao Rong is not hypocritical, after helping Jiang Xuanyu sit down, Ha Lu Ha smiled and walked over.
Not to mention, there are really a few good things in the Jiang family, most of which are objects from the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. When the Qing Dynasty fell, many treasures fell to the people, and the big families at that time were all proud of having one or two treasures in the palace, and those who couldn't get them would also get two imitations to decorate the façade. The Jiang family was prominent back then, and it was normal to have a few good things.
However, after years of war, by the time I took refuge on the island, most of the belongings were long gone, and only some small and easy-to-carry things remained.
Therefore, Xiao Rong saw mostly small objects that were not easy to be damaged, but there were exceptions, among which the best preserved and most valuable were precisely a fragile porcelain, a dragon pattern jar with white glaze and green color.
Xiao Rong saw that this jar was an authentic Qing Dynasty official kiln porcelain, but the dragon pattern on it was made in imitation of the Ming Dynasty ornamentation, and such official kiln porcelain was rare.
The whole jar is a flat top lid, a round mouth, a plump shoulder, slowly converged under the belly, and the bottom has a double-circle six-character regular script of "Yongzheng Year of the Great Qing Dynasty". Yongzheng's reign time was far worse than his Laozi and his sons, and Yongzheng was diligent in court politics, and the good porcelain in that period was really not much compared to the Kangqian and Qianqian dynasties.
This is the real Yongzheng official kiln porcelain, and the white grapefruit and green color official kiln porcelain are rare in the Yongzheng period. It is rare that this green color dragon pattern jar is still very well preserved. That's it. It is estimated that it will cost about 2 million, and if it is sent to the auction house for auction, maybe it can be even higher.
"Huh?" Xiao Rong's eyes were suddenly attracted by an inconspicuous-looking jade pillow. This jade pillow is about 30 centimeters long, about 10 centimeters wide and high, and is carved with animal patterns and other decorations. It's just that the jade quality is not good, and the carving is also very general, it looks like it should be a modern imitation of the early Qing Dynasty, and the collection value is not high.
It's just that I don't know why. Xiao Rong always felt that this jade pillow had another mystery. Putting down the dragon pattern jar in his hand, Xiao Rong curiously picked up the jade pillow and looked at it carefully.
After a while, Xiao Rong exhaled a breath, shook his head helplessly, and thought: Eyesight is still not good, so I can only use the Qilin Heavenly Eye to see.
Thinking of this, an undetectable golden light flashed in Xiao Rong's eyes, and then he looked at the jade pillow in his hand again.
Ah, so it is. Sure enough, it's a good means! Xiao Rong secretly admired in his heart, but his hands gently stroked the jade pillow. Suddenly, the right hand pressed, twisted, and lifted at a certain position on the jade pillow.
"Click!" A slight sound sounded, and the jade pillow cracked in the middle, and on one side of the pillow wall inside, four hooked claws firmly fixed a small jade lock. The jade lock is not big, the length and width are only five or six centimeters, and it is fixed on the pillow wall by the hook and claw, and it does not move at all.
Xiao Rong took out the jade lock and played with it in his hand. The jade lock is carved by mutton fat white jade, warm and transparent, and the decoration is simple and exquisite, which can be regarded as a rare boutique.
In addition, Xiao Rong also had a faint feeling that this jade lock should have another unknown use. However, after playing for a long time, there are no other discoveries, but it is only seen that the jade lock should have a history of more than 1,000 years, and from the perspective of collection, this is also a treasure.
Xiao Rong gathered together the jade lock, the dragon pattern jar, and a few other items that he was optimistic about, and brought them to Jiang Xuanyu, saying that he was interested in buying these things. Of course, Xiao Rong focused on the discovery of the jade lock, and said that it was very likely that this was the exquisite jade lock that Wei Tong and they were looking for, which hid a big secret.
However, Jiang Xuanyu was very open-minded and said: "If it weren't for Mr. Xiao, we wouldn't even have our lives, and it would be impossible to find the exquisite jade lock, which may be fate." No matter what the big secret is, our Jiang family is not interested, the blessing is not enough, it may be a curse or a blessing to stay in the hand, so let's send it to Mr. Xiao. ”
"In this case, I will accept it, but I can't ask for it in vain, judging from the age, material and carving, the value of this exquisite jade lock is also very expensive, so I will take advantage of it and buy it at the market price, and there are a few other pieces as well." Xiao Rong was not hypocritical, and immediately decided.
Jiang Xuanyu and Jiang Zhong didn't want Xiao Rong's money, but seeing Xiao Rong's unquestionable attitude, they didn't insist more, after all, the Jiang family's current situation is uninhabitable on the island, and if they move to the mainland, they will need money for everything.
At this time, Xing Lei, Zhao Cheng and others, who were far away in the capital, called to inquire about the situation, and Xiao Rong, Yu Ling'er and A Rishan said goodbye to Jiang Xuanyu and Jiang Zhong and returned to the capital. However, before they left, they notified the local police and the personnel of the special service sub-office, explained what happened, and took care of them to give the Jiang family some help.
As for Wei Tong, before the arrival of the police and the people from the special service sub-office, he had been executed by Jiang Zhong in front of the Jiang family's tragic death, ending his pitiful and sinful life.
Jiang Zhong originally wanted to keep his promise and follow Xiao Rong, but the Jiang family was only left with Jiang Xuanyu and a group of children at this time. Jiang Xuanyu is old and injured, the children are all young, and the future affairs of the Jiang family and moving to the mainland are complicated, which is really inseparable from Jiang Zhong.
Under the persuasion of Xiao Rong and others, Jiang Zhong had no choice but to stay, but when Xiao Rong and others left, Jiang Zhong was very firm that it would be as short as three months or as long as half a year, and after dealing with the affairs of the Jiang family, he would definitely keep his promise and go to the capital to find Xiao Rong and follow him for life.
The next day, Xiao Rong and Yu Ling'er had already returned to the capital, but Ah Rishan returned to the island base halfway. Before leaving, Xiao Rong smiled and said what Xing Lei wanted to recruit him, but as expected, he was rejected by Ah Rishan.
Xiao Rong and Yu Ling'er returned to the secret service, went straight to Xing Lei's office, knocked on the door, and before there was a sound inside, Xiao Rong had already pushed the door in.
"Xiao Rong, I know that it is you kid, who dares to enter my office casually without permission, except for the old lion, you are the only kid." As soon as I entered the door, I heard Xing Lei's familiar laughter and scolding.
"Boss, then how do you know that Lu Dao is me, not my senior brother?" Xiao Rong asked with a grin.
"He? That old lion doesn't have time to come to me right now, so it must be you! Xing Lei replied casually, and then asked, "Don't talk nonsense, the task is complete?" What about things? (To be continued......)
