Chapter 641 [Annie's Change]
Seeing that Yang Nianzhong fell into silence, Anne on the side came to her mother-in-law's side, took Yang Lan's hand and said coquettishly.
"Mom, these scarabs are carved from different materials, so their value will definitely vary, can you give me a chance to guess the value of these scarabs."
Seeing that his daughter-in-law Anne liked these scarab talismans so much, of course her mother Yang Lan was very happy, patted Anne's little hand and said with a smile.
"That's right, I remember when you got married, Yang Nianzhong promised you to open your own law firm."
"But you soon had a child, and after the birth of the sect leader, you have to take care of the child and the family, and you have not been able to fulfill your childhood wish until now."
"This makes me, a mother, feel very sorry for you, my daughter-in-law, and I feel that the old Yang family is sorry for you, so I have not forced you to learn these antique appraisal knowledge."
"Then you brought it up yourself today, then of course I, a mother, know everything, and you can choose your mother to explain to you the reasons and what is wrong."
As soon as Anne heard her mother-in-law talk about her childhood wish, which was to own a law firm that belonged to Anne Foreman, but this wish has not been fulfilled so far, not because of money, but because Anne did not have the time to manage her own law firm.
If you want to open a law firm with the financial resources of the Yang family, you can set it up in minutes, but if Anne focuses on the family and the children, she will not have the extra energy to manage her own law firm, and you will not have to lose money if you open it.
In that way, Anne, who has the character of a strong woman, can't stand it even more, because Anne's character does not allow her law firm to fail, because he can't bear the frustration caused by failure, so he will be very devoted, so he rarely takes care of his family.
Anne's current identity is after all a wife and mother, taking care of the family and children is the first priority, as for her own wishes, she can only put it on hold, but she didn't expect to be mentioned by her mother-in-law again today, Anne is a little pantothenic acid in her heart, which is particularly uncomfortable.
But as soon as I saw that my mother-in-law actually apologized to myself for this incident, I also admitted it, because it was a family relationship, so that Anne had sacrificed, and my mother-in-law had taken the initiative to apologize to herself, is there any better compensation than this.
So Anne, the girl's heart was sour, her eyes were red, and she took her mother-in-law's hand and took several deep breaths, and then she held back her tears and said with a reluctant smile.
"Being together as a family is the most important and happiest, although I have dreams, I am willing to let my childhood dreams make way for our family's happy life."
"When will David be tired, and when will David be no longer able to do anything? will take over from me to take care of the whole family, and at this time I will choose to pay to fulfill my childhood dream, and it is still very early. ”
Mother-in-law Yang Lan saw such a sensible daughter-in-law, patted Anne's hand and comforted her. "It's the Yang family who owes you, Yang Nianzhong's stupid boy can find such a good daughter-in-law as you is his happiness, and it is the happiness of our old Yang family, mom thank you."
Anne comforted her mother-in-law in turn, and Yang Lan said with a smile. "There's no way around it, who makes me not have the perverted earning power like David? is the so-called male protagonist and female protagonist David running outside, does he still let him worry about things at home? ”
"It is natural for a woman to take care of the family and children, and I want to share the burden of life for David, I can only take care of everything in the family and not let him worry about it outside, which is what a wife should do."
Listen to such a good daughter-in-law, where do you find it? Yang Lan is 1 million satisfied with his daughter-in-law Anne, and his daughter-in-law Anne is much more useful than Yang Nianzhong's stinky son.
The more Yang Lan looked at Annie, the more she liked it, and quickly asked Annie to classify these scarabs of various materials according to her own understanding, and her mother-in-law, as a mentor, just watched silently on the side and waited for Annie to do a good job of classification.
Then he will explain to his daughter-in-law, what is wrong and which materials are of low value? Which materials are highly valued? How should it be classified.
Anne had never studied art appraisal, but he knew what gemstones were of high value and what were of low value, such as the talc-carved scarab beetles, which were the most common kind.
It looks quite big, the color is very good-looking, and the carving is very round, but the scarab amulet carved with talc is a big road goods, not to mention in ancient Egypt, even in modern times, it is not worth much.
So Anne first singled out all these worthless scarab statues and listed them as the lowest art value, the second grade was ivory, and there was an unknown creature carved scarab amulet that was listed as the same grade.
The remaining well-known scarab amulets carved in gold and silver are classified as the third class, and those carved by well-known gemstones are listed as the most valuable class, and at the very top of the pyramid is of course the golden amber wrapped scarab amulet, which is the most valuable.
After sorting all these dozens of scarab amulets, Anne looked at her mother-in-law with a smile, and Ms. Yang Lan shook her little head proudly and said happily.
"Mom, I'm done writing, you see if I chose it right, and I hope you can answer what is wrong."
Mother Yang Lan dragged the white towel from Annie's direction to her face, carefully observed Annie's classification of these scarab talismans, and nodded while picking out the asymmetrical scarab talismans.
The scarab statues that Anne spent ten minutes picking out were listed as 5 levels of value, and 30% of them were wrong, and only the most valuable scarab golden amber amulet was the most expensive, and it was true that almost all of the rest were wrong.
After reclassifying, her mother, Yang Lan, took Anne's hand and began to explain to her. "Girl, it's not wrong that you listed those talc-carved scarab amulets as the lowest level, because this thing was not valuable in ancient Egypt, it was only worn by civilians, and now there are enough unearthed numbers, so it is not worth much."
"That's undisputed, but you've listed the ivory and this rhinoceros horn scarab beetle and amulet statue as rank 4. This is a mistake, because in ancient times these beasts were very difficult to hunt and kill, and the ancient Egyptian people had to trade their lives for these animal products. ”
"So in the minds of the ancient Egyptians, the scarab amulet of ivory and rhinoceros horn was worth more than those ordinary gemstones, so it should be classified as the third tier, not the fourth tier"
"In the order of going up, the third level should be those gold-carved scarab amulets, the second level is the gem amulet and the developed scarab amulet, and the highest level is the golden amber amulet."
