Chapter 027: Common Hobbies
Xianyin Mansion, located in the southeast of Danyang City, is not much different from the other courtyards of Chudu. The pen "Fun" www.biquge.info Pavilion is located in this street, and it does not seem to be very tall and majestic, but the two big characters "Doufu" on the top of the door add a lot of momentum to this Xianyin Mansion.
Mi Tong followed the guidance of the housekeeper of Xianyin Mansion, looking at the decoration of this mansion step by step, and Yong Xiao held a tiger skin, which was counted as a gift, and followed them respectfully.
"Here, please, Childe!" Butler Xianyin respectfully guided and took Mi Tong straight to the backyard.
But when Mi Tong came to the backyard, he was really shocked, because this small backyard was already full of guests.
Mi Tong glanced at it and roughly estimated that excluding the entourage and servants, there were seven or eight officials in this Chu court alone! Dr. Xianyin was in the middle of the crowd, circling around a one-foot-high stone.
The housekeeper stepped forward to report, Dou Bobi raised his head and frowned at Mi Tong, nodded, as if he had already guessed that he was coming, and said, "You are here!" ”
Mi Tong was secretly surprised, and nothing was revealed on the surface. It's just that in this kind of noisy scene, Mi Tong was unconsciously a little disappointed, and it was impossible for anyone to talk about his decision to bring down the prince in this kind of scene.
In this situation at the moment, there may only be a Lala relationship, which is good for Bo.
The young man on order respects the tiger skin. Anyway, this is a gift from the little nephew to the uncle, and it is also in line with the concept of Zhou etiquette to rule the world with etiquette, and others can't say anything.
Dou Bobi was not polite, so he asked the housekeeper to take the tiger skin, and introduced the guests in the backyard to Mi Tong one by one.
In fact, these people who were officials in Chu Ting, Mi Tong had some impressions, even if they had never known each other well or had a deep conversation before, they had also met with each other to some extent. It's just that next to the one-foot-high stone, there are still a few strangers, just judging by the appearance of clothing, they don't look like ordinary Chu people.
Mi Tong saluted everyone one by one. It wasn't until these strangers that they heard Dou Bobi say: "These are all famous jade craftsmen in the world; In particular, this 'master of green carving', for the identification and carving of jade, it has reached the peak of the realm. and the two masters of 'Shizhong' and 'Guyi', and are known as the three major braided jade masters in the world......"
When Mi Tong heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he secretly said in his heart: "It's really hard to find a place to find an iron hoof, and it takes no effort to get it." I wanted to look around for a master of jade control, and I wanted to go to the Central Plains several times, but I didn't have a chance, and I met in this Xianyin Mansion at this moment...... Just, what are they doing here? It's hard to ......"
Soon, Mi Tong fixed his eyes on the stone on the table in the center of the courtyard!
I saw that this stone was more than a foot high, and it was all plain gray and white on all sides, and only one side showed a large piece of turquoise color......
It's good not to see it, but when I see Mi Tong, I was shocked, this ...... Could it be these people......
Definitely! At this time, there is no need to guess, and I know that these people are preparing to mine and carve this jade--for the time being, it can only be counted as jade wrapped in stone.
Mi Tong looked at it, such a big piece, it wouldn't be "He's Bi", right? I think Bian He is not here yet. However, such a large stone, if it is really a piece of jade, it is not He's Bi but also better than He's Bi; In this era, the state of Chu is also worthy of a national treasure.
Therefore, it is not surprising that everyone was surprised. It's just that Mi Tong thought in his heart: It seems that this trip to Xianyin Mansion is not wrong, and I can't imagine that this Dou Bobi doctor has the same hobbies as himself...... Looking for the world's treasures?
For a long time, Mi Tong also felt that he had been circulating in the jade for too long, and he had not returned the gift to the master of green carving, and said a little embarrassedly: "Well, I have seen the master!" “
Dou Bobi was also surprised by Mi Tong's performance, and said straightly: "Childe is also interested in jade? “
Listening to Dou Bobby's words, everyone's eyes were all focused on Mi Tong. Everyone knows the past of this Mi Tong, who used to be a dementia, but recently he has gotten better, and he has become very powerful, as if he is proficient in everything, and it is difficult to study jade.
"Well, the little uncle is broken, you are Tong's elder, or call Tong's nephew! How dare you let my uncle call me son? Mi Tong said politely: "As for this jade? Please forgive me for being lonely and unproficient! “
At this time, the son of a prince or a nobleman with a fief can be called a prince, which is an honorific title and a symbol of status.
Dou Bobi smiled slightly, noncommittal, and only said, "Hehehe." We are all young people, so we don't have to be so polite. This stone is obtained by my servant from the Bobbi fief Douyi, and it was offered a month ago, so I invited the master of green carving to cut the jade. Childe also happened to come at this time. Thinking that Gongzi also has a relationship with this piece of jade, why not guess it. Look at the internal geometry of this jade? “
Mi Tong looked at the stone again and thought, "This is somewhat similar to the gambling stones of later generations." After the mystery is revealed, it may be the passion of getting rich overnight, or it may be the confusion of being empty-handed. It's just that at the moment, he only let him guess, and he doesn't use wealth to gamble, but nothing! Thinking about it, he circled around the stone twice, and couldn't help frowning. For jade, he really doesn't understand, but he seems to have heard of gambling stones in a TV program in later generations, which is a gambling line rather than a gambling face, that is to say, if this stone only has a green band, it is more likely to produce high-quality jade; On the contrary, if a large area is green, a good jade will not appear. At this time, this stone has a green side, so I don't think there will be any big surprises...... However, after all, the future generations are different from the present, and the people of the later generations are purely for the purpose of gambling stones to develop wealth, is there someone who deliberately cut out that large side of turquoise to attract people to buy it at a high price? Mi Tong thought about it, and then dispelled his point of view.
"This ...... This piece of jade, I'm afraid...... Well, I really can't guess, I'm afraid that if I make a mistake, I will add to the laughter of you! Let's ask Master Qingke to talk about his high opinion. Mi Tong thought about it, but still didn't say anything.
After everyone listened, they all turned their eyes to the master of Qingke, who was naturally very satisfied, stroked his gray beard and said: "This jade is a rare jade, just such a large piece, almost all of it is stone, only we see that there is still a little left on this side, it is not a good jade to carve." “
"Ah......" Everyone listened, full of disappointment, but Mi Tong nodded slightly. It seems that Mi Tong's guess is good.
Dou Bobi seemed to notice Mi Tong's expression, but he didn't say anything, and said directly to the two jade workers behind the master of Qingke: "Then let's take a look at the power of the master of Qingke's braided jade, come!" Cut this stone open. “
"No!" The two jade workers stepped forward, picked up the axe and chisel, and carefully knocked it out from the periphery of the stone!
Everyone also gathered nervously, staring intently at the stone in front of them, for fear of missing Baoyu's appearance.
It's just that the stone gets smaller and smaller as it is peeled off, except for the one side where the skin is a little green, the others are all the same as the appearance, all gray and white. In the end, only a pile of waste lime remained......
When everyone saw this, they once again showed disappointment.
Mi Tong looked at Master Qingke's eyes, and said in his heart: "This master seems to have some skills, not in vain, he will definitely ask for advice in the future, or directly introduce Bian He as a teacher, make some preparations for the future discovery of He's bi, and also travel to this era in vain!" “
"Hehehe!" Seeing this, Dou Bobi laughed again, and it took a long time to calm down and say: "Master Qingke really lives up to his reputation, this stone is such a large piece of turquoise, we all thought it was a high-grade jade, but I didn't expect that as the master said, it was a pile of waste stones!" That's fine. Although my Chu country did not have a chance and did not get this jade treasure, it also opened our eyes. Come, please come to the house for a while, I will let the next person prepare the food and drink, and have a good drink! “
Mi Tong looked at the master of Qingke, only to see him smile slightly, and then said lightly: "From what the old man can see, he can see through that this stone is not Baoyu, and the old man is not alone." Tong Gongzi must have seen it, but he just didn't say it......"
"Ugh!" Mi Tong, including everyone, was shocked. Mi Tong naturally looked infinitely bitter, and looked at everyone looking at him in embarrassment......
