Chapter 0085: Millennium Agarwood
Fang Yan passed by a wine table that was not yet full, and unconsciously stopped for a moment. Sure enough, every time that girl meets her, it still causes a heartbeat, if life is only as first seen......
Coincidentally, the visitors of Haishi Technology were arranged to share the table with the Star Group, and Haixin was sitting sullenly in the corner, deliberately separated by four seats from the thunderstorm.
There was no one sitting on her left and right, and she held her chin alone and pretended to be the most common "bowing mobile phone party" for young people at dinners, as if she noticed that someone was watching her, and she slowly raised her head.
Fang Yan hurriedly avoided his eyes, and swept his eyes towards the empty seat beside Hai Xin, his heart tangled.
There was still the residual warmth of Jin Ling'er's soft little hand in his palm, Fang Yan took a deep breath, didn't have time to look back, and pulled Jin Ling'er forward quickly.
……
As soon as Fang Yan sat down, the old man Jin in a red Tang suit suddenly stood up, causing the guests at each table to also stand up.
The old man's face was ruddy, and he smiled happily at the guests:
"Thank you for your appreciation of your face and help the old man organize this birthday banquet. It is said that life is in the world, and it is a great blessing for someone to remember, I can't imagine that there are so many people who care about my old thing that does not enter the oil and salt, ah, I won't say much if I thank you, everyone drinks hard, don't get drunk and don't return, oh no, don't drink if you come by car, give you a taste of the good tea I have kept for ten years......"
Fang Yan didn't have much interest in wine, so he drank tea with some old drivers, and it was strange to say that he had drunk some tea with his father since he was a child, and he also tasted some high-quality tea with his master when he entered Xunlongmen.
Only the pot of tea on the table can't taste the doorway, the fragrance is in the mouth, and I can't help but feel refreshed, and the root of the tongue has an endless aftertaste. When I realized that my sister was delicious, I found that the cup had already been drunk.
There was such a small pot on the table, and he was embarrassed to take the initiative to pour a second cup, so he started his chopsticks stupidly.
When he raised his eyes, he accidentally met the old man's gaze, Fang Yan was slightly stunned, remembering the "Jin San Fat" written by himself a while ago, and couldn't help grinning embarrassedly.
Jin Lao nodded at him slightly, signaling not to be too restrained, just eat.
But Jin Lao didn't move the chopsticks, and no one at the whole table dared to move the chopsticks first, until Fang Yan broke the situation.
"Here, duck legs for you." Fang Yan broke off a piece of the duck leg of the osmanthus duck and sandwiched it into Jin Ling'er's bowl, which was regarded as self-comfort, "This big table is not the first person I eat, it was the girl of the Jin family who ate it first, and she has to carry this pot." ”
The people at the wine table didn't talk much, most of them were talking about the old days, and I didn't know whether they cared about Fang Yan, an outsider, or other reasons, the people at the table only talked about some trivial things in life, and didn't talk about other things with a little taste.
Halfway through the luncheon, most of the excitement of eating and drinking food and wine also went, I don't know who was the first to take the lead, and some of the juniors present gave birthday gifts one after another.
Some people want to get attention, some people want the atmosphere, some people want to show off their family background, and those little characters have approached the main table with gifts.
This can also be regarded as an opportunity to get close to Jin Lao, in front of all the guests, the treasures taken out are full of weight.
There are porcelain from the Ming and Qing dynasties, high imitations of calligraphy and painting from the Tang and Song dynasties, and rubbings from the end of the Yuan Dynasty...... The old man Jin was happy to accept the gifts, although he had already seen some antiquities in the same kind, but in order to let the young man who gave the gift leave with peace of mind, he said "thank you", "good", "the young man has a heart" again and again......
Who hasn't seen an antique in attendance? But with the large-scale strokes of more than a dozen small characters, these seniors are also more or less bright-eyed.
Fang Yan was an exception, he occasionally took a look or two more at one or two of the treasures sent to him, and the rest of the time he either buried himself in eating or played "eye war" with Jin Ling'er.
Even the number of times he peeked at the table in the heart of the sea was far greater than the number of times he sat and watched the gifts.
"What kind of second-rate goods are they? This kind of thing is a peripheral commodity in the tomb, and people with a slightly higher status in ancient times look down on these goods, and if they are buried in the coffin, it is simply a price for the tomb owner. ”
After eating a little too much fire food, Fang Yan scooped a bowl of lotus seed soup and was about to drink it, when a disturbing male voice came:
"Professor Jin, my father can't get out of his body abroad today, so he will be replaced by a junior to congratulate you on your birthday, I wish you old happiness like the East China Sea, and longevity than Nanshan."
can say such a fake and outdated greeting, and the only one who comes can only be that thunderstorm. The older generation of the Lei family had good intentions and asked the little young master to come to the banquet, first, to see the demeanor of these hermits, and secondly, if they were lucky, they might be able to climb the dragon and the phoenix and get to know one or two masters.
The Lei family is not short of money or connections, but it lacks one thing - a stranger. I heard that there are only tens of thousands of strangers in the world, and there are only 3,000 people who can be on the list, and there are very few strangers on the list who are really close friends of the Lei family, just for this point, the Lei family will never be a big family.
It's hard to get a scene today, and Lei Yuyu is determined to give the family a long face and let people see:
What does it mean to be a real big deal!
He carried the wooden box that had broken into the sight of many people early in the morning, and held it in front of Old Man Jin with a sincere face.
Under the eyes of everyone with interest, he opened the box.
The box opened a gap, and those who were close were the first to smell a refreshing fragrance.
Some old rivers and lakes can roughly guess what kind of antiquities are in the box just by smelling it.
I saw Lei Yu triumphantly take out a wooden carving more than a foot high, which resembles a palace.
The shapes are full of antiquity, the materials are old, the knife work is extremely complex, and even every piece of indistinguishable rubble on the exterior wall of the palace is meticulously carved.
"Is this ...... Xianxiang Pavilion? A scrawny old gentleman asked in surprise.
"Won't it?" The chubby middle-aged man next to him raised his eyes, narrowed his eyes and looked carefully:
"A gram of high-grade agarwood is hard to find, 'Xianxiang Pavilion' is carved from a whole piece of thousand-year-old agarwood, I was fortunate to see a glimpse of 'Xianxiang Pavilion' at the auction of Jinyutang three years ago, the price was raised to 26 million, and finally won by a mysterious rich businessman."
"This gentleman has good eyesight."
Hearing this, Lei Fengyu was even more proud, "My father is the one who won the Immortal Fragrance Pavilion on the Golden Jade Hall three years ago, and I heard that Professor Jin has a preference for 'lighting incense and practicing calligraphy', so my father asked me to give you this Immortal Fragrance Pavilion." With such a large piece of agarwood, you don't need to light any incense when you put it in the study. ”
At this point, he stared meaningfully at Fang Yan's back who refused to turn around for a moment, his eyes full of disdain for the live broadcast competitor.
'Poof?' Xianxiang Pavilion'? Are you kidding me? Fang Yan almost squirted out a mouthful of lotus seed soup, but fortunately, he reacted in time and swallowed it back.
"I didn't come in vain today, but I actually saw the fairy incense pavilion carved from the legendary thousand-year-old agarwood wood." There were bursts of exclamation from the surrounding tables, and there were quite a few people here who knew how to do it.
Some people even approached to smell the aroma of this legendary wood carving.
"Agarwood has high requirements for the skills of the carver, and the difficulty is far greater than that of other wood, because the agarwood condenses the two characteristics of oil and wood, the texture is very uneven, and the appearance and inner oil are not easy to handle, so it is not easy to go under the knife."
"Do you remember the 'Immortal Mountain Pavilion'?"
"Of course, I remember that in the 2012 Beijing Poly Spring Auction, the 'Xianshan Pavilion: Embedded Diorama Seat Screen', I will always remember that the transaction price was as high as 20.7 million yuan, which broke the auction record of domestic agarwood artworks in one fell swoop."
"That was just then, wasn't it 13 years before the better Xianxiang Pavilion broke the record? Because of those two big troubles, since then, the collection of agarwood has doubled exponentially every year. ”
"Yes, good agarwood carvings now have a price. The diorama is worthless, and the entire screen relies on agarwood to support the sky-high price. ”
……
Old Man Jin was holding the fragrant Immortal Fragrance Pavilion, but he was not as fascinated by it as the others.
He nodded thoughtfully at Lei Fengyu, quite satisfied.
This look was seen by Lei Fengyu in his eyes, and he was angry in his heart: "Old thing, how picky are you?" Lao Tzu sent you the treasure that has recently risen to more than 80 million, and you don't even laugh at it? What's just a nod? ”
"Agarwood can't see the light and should be kept in an environment of about 40 degrees. No wonder the little young master of the Lei family carried the wooden box with him. ”
"Yes, I'm really willing, I'm a Li, I'm blind."
……
Everyone was still discussing, and they were secretly amazed at the Lei family's generosity.
"Fakes."
Suddenly, a small voice came into everyone's ears clearly.
It was like a basin of cold water poured on a fire, making people lose their enthusiasm in dismay.
Everyone turned their heads to look at the person who spoke wildly, only to see a young figure on the main table, dressed in a gray and white suit with a restrained bearing.
Fang Yan shook his head, holding the bowl, and didn't even glance at the Xianxiang Pavilion from beginning to end, just focused on dealing with the delicacies in the bowl.
And he slurred words that shocked everyone:
"Don't look at it, it's a fake."
