Chapter 185: A priceless dowry - Qin and chess
Li Hui turned a blind eye to Xu You's provocation and laughed it off. The pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info said indifferently:
"My lord's dowry is sixteen taels of dowry, and twenty-four ...... of the box"
The reports are basically things commonly used in general dowry, although they are not rude, but they are a little shabby compared to Yuan's side. Zhen Yi's face was unhappy. Although he doesn't care how much the dowry is worth, the dowry is too thin, and it always gives people the feeling of despising his daughter.
Sensing the change in Zhen Yi's expression, Xu You became even more proud, feeling that he had won, and his eyes were full of pity when he looked at Li Hui.
Alas, a poor ghost, he still dares to rob a woman with the Yuan family?
Li Hui read the list of dowry gifts unhurriedly, took in everyone's expressions, paused and said:
"In addition to the above, my lord also specially prepared four special dowry gifts for Miss Zhen Si. Please allow me to present it in detail for the head of the family......"
Zhen Yi's face looked a little better, and he said casually: "Okay, please take care of yourself"
Li Hui nodded to Ling Tong, Ling Tong walked out, and after a while walked in with two soldiers carrying the box, Li Hui opened the box and opened the wrapped silk, showing its true appearance.
This is a guqin, made of paulownia wood, simple and atmospheric, the appearance of three feet six inches and five minutes, dark for one year of three hundred and sixty-five days; The upper part of the body is rounded, and the lower part is flat, symbolizing "the sky is round and the place is round". The whole body is black, faintly green, like green vines wrapped around ancient trees.
Zhen Yi himself is a person who loves the qin, and he couldn't help but stand up at first sight, and asked in surprise:
"This ...... It's ......"
Li Hui nodded, "That's right, it's Lu Qi." β
"Luqi" is one of the four famous pianos in ancient times, and it is a piano of the famous literati Sima Xiangru in the Han Dynasty. Sima Xiangru's poems are extremely famous. King Liang asked him to make a gift, and he wrote a "jade endowment" as a gift. This is a magnificent rhetoric and an extraordinary charm. King Liang was extremely happy, so he gave back his collection of "Luqi" piano.
Li Hui pointed out to Zhen Yi that there was an inscription in the piano and said: "Tongzi Hejing".
Xu You was also taken aback by the name of "Lu Qi", but immediately doubted and said:
"Is it really Lu Qi? Isn't it rumored that Lu Qi has long been ruined? It hasn't been seen in more than a hundred years...... Isn't it imitated by later generations? β
Li Hui smiled indifferently: "Real gold is not afraid of fire. I heard that Zhen Mansion has Mr. Sang, the most famous violinist in the world, and Mr. Zhao, the courtier with the best eyesight, you might as well invite them to come out to appreciate and appreciate. β
Hearing this, Zhen Yi already believed in his heart, as the richest man in the north, pawnshops have always been a more important part of Zhen's business, it can be said that he has gathered the largest and best treasure connoisseurs in the world, he doesn't believe that anyone dares to come to the door to get an axe.
But after all, it is the legendary "Green Qi", for the sake of insurance, Zhen Yi invited two doormen, the two masters were originally pure-hearted, as soon as they heard that "Green Qi" was in the world, they immediately rushed to the fastest speed, and tried their best to investigate and analyze......
The two of them were overjoyed and completely immersed in their work, Zhen Yi and the three of them could only sit silently next to them and drank tea for an hour, and finally Zhen Yi's patience was almost exhausted, and he couldn't help asking:
"How's it going, gentlemen?"
Li Hui was still indifferent, Xu You couldn't help but prick up his ears, only to hear Mr. Sang shake his head and say:
"In the past, Shennong's succeeded Miyi and the king of the world, and also looked at the law in the sky, and took the law from the ground, and took all the bodies and things from afar, so he began to cut the tong for the piano, and the rope for the strings, so as to pass the virtue of the gods, and the harmony of heaven and earth......"
He showed a lot of professional knowledge, and when a few people were drowsy, he finally made his final statement:
"This guqin has a rich timbre, light overtones, and simple and condensed sounds. Sang has played countless pianos, and this piano should be the first. β
He is not an appraiser, so he can't judge the authenticity, so he can only analyze and analyze from his own professionalism, and the conclusion is that this is an unprecedented, out-of-print top guqin.
Zhen Yi looked at Mr. Zhao again, the pawnshop's court, and Mr. Zhao's words were much simpler:
"Vintage, material, shape, structure...... All right. Ninety percent sure. β
Zhen Yi knows that Mr. Zhao is usually a person who cherishes words like gold and is silent, he is cautious, saying that ninety percent is just a professional habit and leaving a way out for himself, but in fact, he admits in his heart that this thing is true.
Combined with the final judgment of the two most senior experts in the industry, it can basically be determined that the guqin in front of him is the legendary "Lu Qi", Zhen Yi couldn't help but admire, he didn't expect that he would be able to see the legendary peerless piano in his lifetime.
Zhen Yi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Dare to ask where did you get this green qi?" β
In fact, Zhen Yi is also a person who likes to be vassal, after all, rich people are most afraid of others saying that he is a nouveau riche, so he always has to get some framed faΓ§ades such as guqin and ancient paintings.
Over the years, he has also spent a lot of money to buy famous guqins, but what he received was a bunch of rags, and the real rare guqins were hidden by the profound family families, and it was easy for them to appear. Money alone is not enough to get these kinds of things, it depends on a little luck.
Li Hui shook his head and said, "This qin was delivered by my master, and I don't know where to find it. β
Since Li Hui doesn't say it, there must be something unspeakable, and Zhen Yi can't break the casserole and ask to the end. He immediately thought of Zhang Fan's rumors that others couldn't get it, so it was still possible for him to get it......
Li Hui took out a second thing wrapped in brocade forging from the box, and Li Hui carefully opened it-
When it was taken out, everyone's eyes lit up, and they stretched their necks and gasped in amazement. Only Xu You's face was as earth-colored as earth, and he was dumbfounded.
This is a pair of Go, a chessboard, a pair of chess pieces, the size is the same as that of ordinary chessboard pieces, but the workmanship is more elaborate and gorgeous.
However, this alone is not worthy of everyone's second look, and its most special thing is the material.
The chessboard is one foot five square (50cm*50cm), and the thickness is about one inch (3.3cm). It is carved from a whole piece of Hetian mutton fat white jade seed material.
The knife work is fine and the shape is simple. The jade is delicate and oily, firm and full, with clear pores, thick and introverted, exuding a clear spirituality and divine sense. It's a sight to behold.
Such a large piece of mutton fat white jade is really rare, and it can be described as priceless. Although Zhen's family is rich in the world, Zhen Yi has never seen such a large piece of high-grade Hetian mutton fat white jade seed material.
The chess pieces are about the same size as normal, with 180 white pieces and 181 black pieces. But all of them are processed from black and white pearls, which are crystal clear and dazzling. The most rare thing is that all the pearls are the same size, and the naked eye can't tell any difference at all, which is quite terrifying.
Pearls are not a rare thing to Zhen's eyes. In fact, if you want to find pearls of the same size, you may not be able to pick out 10 out of 1,000, and you may not be able to pick 30 out of 10,000. If 361 trees were picked out of the same size, and they were half black and half white, it would be unimaginable!
Zhen Yi was also a top wealthy businessman who had seen countless rare treasures, but at this time, he couldn't help but be short of breath, his heart was beating faster, and his pupils were dilated...... I've lived in vain for most of my life! This is another priceless treasure!
Zhen Yi couldn't help but wonder, isn't this dowry too high and scary?
If Zhang Fan really becomes his son-in-law, then I'm afraid I will have to endure the pain of cutting the meat, and I have to go back to others how much to marry! (To be continued.) )
