When he arrived at the door of Shang Yazhai, Li Lao was seeing off guests in front of the door, and when he saw the two of them, he laughed and said: "This development is fast enough, this is all on the arm." Mo Sitong hurriedly let go of Wang Rui and said coquettishly: "Grandpa Li, what are you talking about." Li Lao laughed and let the two of them upstairs, poured a cup of tea for each of them, and said, "You two are shopping around the stall for another day today?" It seems that I have found the right jade, show me. Wang Rui said: "I came here in the afternoon, but I didn't find a suitable one, it was too difficult to find, but Sitong missed two pieces of jewelry." "Oh? Show me. Mo Sitong took out the two pieces of jewelry, Li Lao put on white gloves, took out a magnifying glass and a strong flashlight, and carefully put the two pieces of jewelry on the table, looking at the state of Li Lao's identification, Wang Rui felt that he was still too unprofessional, his ability to identify and see through could not be exposed, and in the future, he would really have to be like Li Lao, fully equipped and cautious.

After a while, Li Lao put down the magnifying glass and said: "It's really a good thing, both of them are palace jewelry, which should be used by the concubines of the Qing Dynasty. ”

When Mo Sitong heard it, it was really genuine, but it was not right, Wang Rui said that one was Kangxi and the other was Daoguang, and he could see at a glance that it was genuine, why did Li Lao only give an approximate age after appraising for a long time, could it be said that Wang Rui's appraisal level was higher than that of Li Lao, how could this be possible. Mo Sitong didn't express his doubts, but asked, "Grandpa Li, how much are these two jewelry worth?" "These two pieces of jewelry, excellent workmanship, exquisite materials, this carving is also a master, but also a palace thing, if you know who used it would be better, this jade hairpin, should be around 350,000, as for this step shake, last year's Christie's spring auction, auctioned a similar, that is, the step shake is a crane type, the transaction price at that time was 1.58 million, the general market price is a little lower than the auction price, there is a small problem, that is, the surface of this gold is a little dark, looks like copper, or it will not let you pick up the leak, But it's not a problem, just rub it with a potion, I estimate 120 is okay. Mo Sitong said in surprise: "Is it so high?" This is 500,000 yuan higher than Wang Rui's estimate, and Wang Rui's valuation level needs to be improved. Wang Ruixin said, the system told me the truth, and did not help me estimate the price, "Yes, I have a little bad grasp of the market for antiques, Li Lao, how can this be improved?" "First of all, you have to pay attention to the auction news of the major auction houses, the auction transaction price, is the vane of our industry, the general market price is about 20% lower than the transaction price, of course, there are many unexpected situations. In addition, it is necessary to communicate more with people in the industry and listen to the news of various antique transactions, and after a long time, you will be able to accurately grasp the market situation. Speaking of auctions, although these two pieces of jewelry are very good, they are not suitable for birthday gifts, and it is difficult to meet the best in the stalls. "Okay, Grandpa Li, let's go see next Thursday, what time does it start?" "Starting at three o'clock in the afternoon, you have to go early, you don't have an invitation letter, you have to pay a deposit in advance to get the auction qualification." Wang Rui asked: "Baolin Auction House, is it an auction house under the Lin Group?" "That's right, the Lin Group started by doing auctions, and Baolin Auction House is the largest auction house in the Lin family."

Lin's Group is the auction house where Wang Rui interned at the beginning, and he thought that he could become a regular by working hard, but it turned out to be a hard blow to reality, which made him have a bad impression of Lin's Group. Mo Sitong said: "Baolin should send me an invitation, I'll go back in the evening to check if there is any." Li Lao said: "It should be sent to you, and it is estimated that yours should be sent to the hotel." Sitong, why didn't I know you could still pick up the leaks, your grandfather taught you to identify, and you don't like to learn, how can you tell that these two jewelry are genuine, and how much did it cost. As soon as Mo Sitong heard it, she knew that Li Lao was ridiculing her, and she could still pick up leaks at her level. She smiled and said: "These two pieces cost a total of 1,000, no, the value has increased more than a thousand times, and you and my grandfather have never picked up such a big leak a few times." "A thousand? Is the stall owner blind? Not to mention anything else, this jade, this pearl, those who know a little know that it is true. Wang Rui said: "Now everyone is scared of fakes, and the more they look like the real thing, the more they think it's fake." ”

At this time, a voice sounded from the staircase: "Which stall owner is blind, Lao Li, have you received good things again?" A man walked in. Li Lao stood up and gave him a seat and said, "Your ears are quite smart, I just had some good things, and you came over." He also introduced to Wang Rui and Mo Sitong: "This is Boss Qi of Boguxuan next door, and we often drink tea together." Wang Rui and Mo Sitong hurriedly greeted each other. This Qi boss responded simply, but stared at Mo Sitong and kept looking. Mo Sitong was a little annoyed, Wang Rui protected Mo Sitong behind him without a trace, and Boss Qi said, "Lao Li, is this girl your junior?" It's so beautiful, do you have a partner, how about introducing that kid to my family. Li Lao said, "Forget it, your kid who is not doing his job can be worthy of others, he is the manager of a big hotel, and he is the Mo family." He turned around and said to Wang Rui and the two: "Don't mind, Lao Qi's son is in his thirties and has not yet married, and now Lao Qi wants to match his son when he sees a young girl, he is a little stunned, pity the hearts of parents in the world, don't mind." As soon as Lao Qi heard that it was the Mo family, he knew that his son, who was not doing his job, had no hope at all. I can't help but sigh a little, why can't my son be angry.

It turned out that Lao Qi's son, pampered since he was a child, did not study well, fought a lot, and finally graduated from high school, and was not admitted to college, so he helped in Lao Qi's shop, not good at learning identification, but learned to touch porcelain, set up, cheat, The reputation of Bo Guxuan, who made Lao Qi, also plummeted, and there were no locals willing to patronize it, let alone a girl willing to marry such a person.

Lao Qi turned his head and saw two pieces of jewelry, his eyes lit up, he had been in the industry for most of his life, and he still had this eyesight. Put on the gloves, picked up the tools and carefully appraised them, and sighed, "Good thing, this is a thing for the palace, where did Lao Li get it, and how much did it cost." Li Lao pointed at Sitong and said, "This is Sitong spent a thousand yuan on the stall outside to pick up the leak, and let me help with the valuation." "Is the stall owner blind?" Is there still this good thing on the stall outside? This girl's level is very high, Lao Li, this is what you taught? "I can't teach it, I taught it with her grandfather, and people didn't want to learn it." "Grandpa Li, how many years ago did this, why are you still mentioning this. I'm not good at my own level, but I have a mascot, and it's not trivial for me to pick up the leaks. "Mascot?" "It's Wang Rui." "I knew that it must be Wang Rui to help you, or it would be good if you didn't look at your level." Lao Qi began to face Wang Rui squarely, the real master of feelings is this young man, this young man, much younger than his son, is so high? At this time, Li Lao said: "Lao Qi, don't you know, this Wang Rui is not only a high level, but also lucky, he missed five pieces of blue and white porcelain the day before yesterday, that is, I showed you those five, yesterday I missed the Han Eight Knife Jade Cicada and Ming Dynasty Jade Huang, and today I missed two pieces of court jewelry, at this level, this luck, I will ask you if you are convinced." "Lao Qi's mouth opened into an O-shape, this is too powerful, it's really terrifying. Mo Sitong said proudly to Mr. Li: "Grandpa Li, you don't know yet, yesterday the two of us went out from here and went to Boss Xu's gambling stone shop. At this time, Li Lao and Lao Qi were speechless in surprise. Li Lao had already seen that Wang Rui was not a thing in the pool after all, but this was too fast, and Lao Qi thought that the income of other people in three days exceeded the hard work of most of his life, alas, it was really in vain. Li Lao said: "Wang Rui, are you still a master of gambling stones?" Who is your master, who has taught such a powerful apprentice as you. "I don't have a master, this bit of antique knowledge is also self-taught, so it is not a system, so you can laugh at the old time, as for the gambling stone is pure luck, maybe yesterday from you, Sitong and I were contaminated with your good luck, Sitong also gambled up two yuan." "Hahahaha, you're poor, what does your gambling have to do with me." Li Lao said to Wang Rui again: "Sitong asked you to help her pick a gift, will you honestly help her pick a gift?" Why is it all hers, didn't you receive anything good? ”

Wang Rui smiled slightly and said, "I was about to ask you to help me palm, but I was a little unsure." As he spoke, he took out a small bowl. Mo Sitong took a look, isn't this the small bowl that Wang Rui gave away for nothing when he bought the jade hairpin, Wang Rui bargained, and this thing is also an antique? . Different from Mo Sitong's doubts, Li Lao and Lao Qi's eyes were straight, and Li Lao said anxiously: "Put it on the table, I'll take a closer look." Wang Rui gently put the small bowl on the table, took a step back, Li Lao and Lao Qi hurriedly picked up the tools, identified them, and after a while, the two raised their heads and glanced at each other, and said at the same time: "Genuine." Mo Sitong asked: "This small bowl is also an antique, is it valuable?" Li Lao glared at Mo Sitong and said, "You know the money, your grandfather and I don't study hard to teach you, you can't see such a treasure in front of you." Let me ask you, do you remember the five famous kilns of the Song Dynasty? "Remember, Ru, Guan, Brother, Jun, Ding, just such a small bowl, or one of the five famous kilns?"
