Chapter 134: Encountering a Beautiful Woman
"Tang Yun, why are you here!"
Tang Yun had just finished buying the jade carving and was walking out of the store with Wang Yu and the others, when a fair-skinned and bright-eyed beauty walked towards him, and when she saw Tang Yun, her face showed a hint of surprise.
Tang Yun looked at the visitor in a daze, with black and smooth hair and a purple dress, although his face was only wearing simple makeup, it gave people a feeling like a goddess, and Tang Yun was stunned.
"Jiajia, why are you here?"
The beauty in front of her is Tang Yun's girlfriend, Zhou Jiajia.
Seeing Zhou Jiajia appear, Tang Yun was very surprised.
Zhou Jiajia explained: "Grandpa heard that a new antique building has opened here, so he took me and my father over to have a look..."
"Uncle Zhou and Old Zhou are also here, what about them?"
Tang Yun poked his head and looked around, but did not find Zhou Nanfeng and Zhou Lao.
"They're resting upstairs, I'm bored and I'm going down to hang out alone, I didn't expect to meet you here..."
Zhou Jiajia looked at Tang Yun affectionately, she mainly accompanied her father Zhou Nanfeng here today to relax, and she was also very surprised and surprised to meet Tang Yun here.
Wang Yu and Chen Guozheng on the side looked at each other and smiled when they saw this, and then in order not to affect Tang Yun and Zhou Jiajia's chat, Wang Yu and the two seemed to inadvertently open a short distance from the two, but their eyes were still very vigilant to look around, in case something unexpected.
Knowing that Zhou Lao and his father-in-law Zhou Nanfeng were upstairs at the moment, Tang Yun didn't have the heart to continue shopping, so he simply followed Zhou Jiajia to the third floor.
The third floor of the ancient moon building, and the two floors downstairs are different, the shop here is not an antique, but a large club integrating food and leisure and entertainment, tourists are tired of shopping in the building, you can come in to have a meal, drink a cup of afternoon tea to relax, it is the place where the ancient moon building is designed to provide rest for tourists.
When Tang Yun and Zhou Jiajia came to the leisure area of the club, Zhou Nanfeng and Zhou Lao were drinking tea and chatting, in addition, Tang Yun also unexpectedly saw Liu Tianxiong here, Liu Tianxiong was sitting next to Zhou Lao and Zhou Nanfeng, talking and laughing.
Tang Yun walked over to greet Zhou Nanfeng and Zhou Lao, then turned his head to Liu Tianxiong and said, "Uncle Liu, didn't we say we'll see you on the roof in two hours? Why are you here on the third floor with Zhou Lao and Uncle Zhou?"
Liu Tianxiong laughed out loud and explained: "Haha, I originally wanted to wait for you on the roof, when I walked to the third floor, I saw that there was a place to rest, and I was going to ask you to come over and have a cup of tea together, but I didn't expect Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zhou to be here, so I chatted a little, and we talked about you just now..."
Zhou Nanfeng smiled and said, "Yes, Xiao Tang, I just discussed with Mr. Liu whether Jiajia would meet you in the building, but I didn't expect you to really have a heart!"
Zhou Jiajia walked to the position next to Zhou Nanfeng and sat down, holding Zhou Nanfeng's arm and coquettishly: "Stinky Dad, since you know that Tang Yun is here, why don't you say a word to me..."
Zhou Nanfeng helplessly spread his hands: "You can't blame me for this, I just found out." ”
After chatting for a while, Liu Tianxiong suddenly remembered something, took out a very small ancient box from his bag, then opened the box, took out the antique inside and put it on the table.
"Old Zhou, this is what I just found downstairs, I can't tell if it's true or not, and I'm sorry for you to help me take a look." ”
Zhou Lao smiled: "Mr. Liu is polite, it's just a gesture!"
Saying that, Zhou Lao picked up the antiquities on the table and looked at them carefully, Tang Yun took a look, and what Liu Tianxiong found seemed to be a jade snuff bottle, which looked very small and chic.
A few days ago, Tang Yun had seen an introduction to snuff bottles when he was reading a book in the villa, but in terms of real things, Tang Yun had seen it for the first time.
Snuff bottles are a kind of traditional handicrafts, which began in the Ming Dynasty and flourished in the Qing Dynasty.
The custom of smoking snuff originated from the Indians, the inventor of tobacco, the Han people began to smoke snuff in the Ming Dynasty, the end of the Ming Dynasty snuff imports were very little, the Kangxi period opened the sea ban, Western missionaries carried a large amount of snuff and glass bottles containing snuff, snuff smoking has gradually become a fashion.
Chinese snuff bottles are a collection of painting, calligraphy, carving, inlay, jade, porcelain, materialware, lacquerware, enamel, metal and other crafts in one.
During the Qing Dynasty, from the emperor to the common people, snuff was very popular. The feudal aristocracy, led by the emperor, was extremely extravagant, and the snuff bottles they used were often designed and manufactured by skilled craftsmen from precious materials.
Even in the world, some collectors believe that snuff bottles are a collection of Chinese arts and crafts of pocket art.
Zhou Lao is worthy of being an antique appraisal expert, and he came to a conclusion after reading it for less than three minutes: "Mr. Liu, your snuff bottle is very exquisite, and the material used is that small and round Ziyu, you see that the texture is very delicate and warm, and the color is also very white and flawless, it is indeed a good thing!"
"Yes, thank you Mr. Zhou!" After knowing that the thing was real, Liu Tianxiong was very happy: "I can't hide it, it cost me nearly 100,000 yuan to buy this snuffbox at that time, and I was really worried that I would buy a fake..."
"100,000? Then I want to congratulate Mr. Liu. If my estimate is correct, the actual value of this snuff bottle should be around 150,000 yuan, and if it is auctioned, I believe it will be even higher!"
Zhou Lao smiled and handed the snuffbox back to Liu Tianxiong.
"So, I'm going to pick up a leak?" Liu Tianxiong couldn't put down the jade snuffbox in his hand, and the smile on his face never stopped.
"Congratulations Uncle Liu, you have to treat you tonight!"
Tang Yun smiled and congratulated, this jade snuff box has four green circles, and it is indeed an old object in the Kangxi period.
"Well said, well said!"
Liu Tianxiong waved his hand very generously and smiled, after knowing that he had picked up the leak, Liu Tianxiong felt a very happy feeling, the profit of tens of thousands of yuan was nothing to him, he enjoyed the process of Taobao.
After reading Liu Tianxiong's snuffbox, Zhou Lao turned his head and smiled at Tang Yun: "Xiao Tang, what about you, have you found any good things?"
"Yes, yes, but I don't have the same blessing as Uncle Liu, and my few things cost me a lot of money. ”
Tang Yun smiled and took out the jade statue he had just bought from his jacket pocket and placed it on the table for several people to admire.
"This is, jade jade carving? Well, it looks very exquisite, and it is still used ice species..."As a gambling stone lover, Liu Tianxiong is also very familiar with jade carving, and he can see at a glance that the material used in this jade carving is ice jade.
