Chapter 10 The little lotus shows its sharp corners
After returning home from school in the afternoon, An Xin couldn't care about Brother An, who was still chirping there and hurting the check, she came to the door of her father's study with the jade cicada, knocked lightly, and a kind voice came from inside: "Come in." ”
An Xin gently pushed open the carved mahogany door, inside was a room of about thirty square meters, the whole wall to the west was placed a huge mahogany bookcase, a delicate Bogu cabinet was placed next to the east window, the cabinet was full of some various shapes of ceramics, exquisite bronzes, and oily jade. There are also a few ink landscape paintings on the wall, and there is a huge mahogany desk in the middle of the study, and there are some pen washes, pen holders, pen holders, inkstones, paperweights and other four treasures of the study on the desk.
Father An was sitting at the huge desk at this time, holding a miniature high-focal length microscopic magnifying glass in his right hand and carefully observing a blue and white peach-shaped wine jug, seeing that it was the baby daughter who had never set foot in the study came in, he put down the guy in his hand with some confusion and asked strangely: "Xin'er, is there something wrong?" ”
An Xin put the jade cicada under An's father's nose and said, "I got a good thing at school today, and I specially brought it to you to see." ”
Father Ann shook his head with a smile and said, "Who will bring good things to school?" Don't be fooled. ”
An Xin shook his hand and said coquettishly, "You can take a look first." ”
Father An couldn't resist it, but his baby daughter had to surrender and said, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll take a look first." ”
After speaking, he picked up the microscopic magnifying glass in his hand and carefully looked at the small jade cicada in front of him.
"Well, yes, it's an ancient jade, well, I'll take a closer look......" Dad An felt more excited the more he looked at it, and after looking at it for a long time, he put down the guy in his hand and said: "Tell me, where is the particularity of this jade cicada?" ”
Wanting to test me, An Xin winked her watery apricot eyes and said: "I think that although this ancient jade cicada is rare, and its carving is still the rarest "Han Eight Knife" can be regarded as a treasure, but what is rare is its smooth and gratifying, quiet and quiet pulp. But if these are compared with its color, it is nothing at all, it is the rarest shroud. ”
"Not bad, not bad, well said, so good." Father Ann slapped the table and laughed.
An Xin snickered in her heart, how could she say it badly? I think she was in ** at the time, and she had nothing to do every day, just to play with these antiques and jade, and admire the paintings of those calligraphy masters in Linmo to pass the time, and Tuoba Qing at that time in order to appease her, I don't know how many treasures to be rewarded to her Ruihe Palace every day, what she sees every day, and what she uses is these, how can she not be familiar, for normal people, that dynasty may have been many years away from now, but for An Xin, it is only a little more than a month, Everything there seemed to her vividly.
"Tell me about it, what age is it? And now there are a lot of jade on the market that are fake, and they are artificially processed, how can you be sure that it is a real shroud. Father Ann had the heart to test his daughter, and raised another professional question.
An Xin replied with a full thought: "I look at the carving of this jade cicada, the knife is vigorous, rough, and powerful, which is the characteristic of the eight sword cicadas in the Han Dynasty. If it is artificially processed, it is nothing more than using pigments to apply pigments to the jade and then baking it to make it colored, or it is boiled in a colorant soup, and some are simply grilled in the fire to change its color. There is also the sheep jade, dog jade, buried in the ground for a few months or even a few years, there will be blood into it, but the jade Qin made in this way can only flow on the surface but can not go directly to the texture, and the color looks dry and boring and lacks aura, but I look at this jade cicada, its color is simple, warm, natural, delicate, the color has penetrated into the texture, and under the strong light, you can also see its gradual process from the surface to the inside, which is not buried underground for thousands of years, it will not achieve this effect. So I am 60% sure that it is the Han Dynasty eight-knife cicada that naturally formed Shouyiqin. (Actually, An Xin is very sure, but in order to be conservative and not to scare her father, she still restrained herself.) )
"You're still too conservative, I'm seventy percent sure, but you're still better than me, I'm seventy percent sure through this microscopic magnifying glass, but you can see it with the naked eye, much better than you and me." So, if you want to be sure, I'll take you to a professional teacher on Sunday to appraise you. ”
"Okay." An Xin nodded obediently.
"Oh, how much did you pay for this cicada?" Father An, who was overjoyed, then remembered this key question.
An Xin naughtily stretched out three fingers. "Well, 300,000 yuan, it's worth this price, and you won't lose anything if you triple it, it's a big leak." Father Ann nodded with great satisfaction.
"It's not 300,000, it's just 30,000." An Xin said coquettishly.
Father An was grinning behind his ears when he heard this: "It's only 30,000, it's just worth it." Hahahaha. ”
"Why don't you help Dad see this new item I have acquired?" Father An was still a little suspicious after he was happy, for fear that his daughter, who had always been unreliable, would meet a dead mouse this time because of a blind cat, so he said tentatively.
"Okay." An Xin happily took the blue and white peach-shaped wine jug handed over by An's father and observed it carefully.
This jug is about 16 centimeters high, about 17 centimeters wide, about 7 centimeters in diameter, the carcass is delicate and white, the body of the jug is painted with blooming folded peonies and wild black cherries, the peony flowers and cherry blossoms extend from the top of the handle downward, the roots of the branches are just rooted in the handle, the design is very delicate. The surface of the pot is also scattered with some bamboo leaves, and the top of the pot is painted with a butterfly, and two butterflies are painted on each side of the body, these five butterflies add a lot of aura to this peach-shaped pot.
This blue and white peach-shaped pot is not only beautiful in appearance, but also delicate in design, there is no lid on the pot, but there is a mouth, the ring foot of the pot is high, the bottom of the pot is also glazed, and it is concave inward in the shape of a shallow cup, there is a small hole in the center of the bottom of the pot, and the bottom of the whole pot is like a small funnel, from which the wine is poured into the pot. When the peach-shaped pot is turned upside down after the wine is filled, the wine does not flow out of the small hole at the bottom, but can only be poured out of the spout.
After reading it, An Xin put it back on the table, and then said to An's father's expectant eyes: "Congratulations father, this backflow pot has a clear glaze, uniform and thick pulp, and exquisite and meticulous design, I don't know what dynasty it is, but at least it is three or four hundred years old." ”
"Well, yes, yes, this is a big door object that I spent a lot of money to recover, but your history class needs to make up for it, how can you not even figure out the most basic dynasties." Father Ann said with some dissatisfaction at the same time. An Xin just pursed her lips and smiled.
"Look at the other objects in my study, and talk about it too." Father Ann made a new request.
An Xin looked around before she said to Father An: "Father, except for the blue and white peach-shaped wine jug in your house, which is a treasure, although the others look like old objects, they all obviously have traces of aging, I look at them are all things from the past ten years, what do you want your daughter to see." ”
"There are no holidays in this study, all of them are genuine, and your brother will steal them for me sooner." Ann's dad is happy again.
Father An looked at his daughter with a happy face and said with some emotion: "I really didn't expect it, it will take me at least a day to distinguish the things in this room, but you can see it in only half an hour with the naked eye. I remember that you used to think that I helped you apply for the archaeology department, and you were dealing with those dead things all day long, and every day you were either late and early leaving, or simply skipping school, and the director of your school told me many times that you wanted you to transfer to another school, so that I don't even dare to answer his phone now, this time I want to show him to see if he dares to say that my family is only out of the unlearned, and see if he dares to say that I have no successor. An Xin just smiled, she could understand her father's mood of hoping that his son would become a dragon and his daughter would become a phoenix.
Today's dinner ended with Father An's happy laughter, and when Father An heard that the money was paid by Brother An, he immediately waved his pen and wrote a check for 50,000 yuan to him. This can make Little Brother An happy, and he also whispered to An Xin: "I didn't expect that the dead man's things to be so valuable, and he made a net profit of 20,000 yuan as soon as he changed hands, don't forget to take care of Little Brother next time there is such a good thing." This is the first time that Little Brother An has shown affection to her, and An Xin nodded happily.
In the evening, An Xin returned to her room, and after washing, she still felt very excited and couldn't sleep on the soft bed, so she decided to practice the internal skills taught to her by her father as a general.
In the past, the great general was able to fight well, and no one else could do the kung fu immediately, especially the internal strength of his cultivation was the "Supreme Heart Sutra" that all people in the martial arts dreamed of, and the "Supreme Heart Sutra" is said to be the treasure of Buddhism, which was stolen by the small novice of a Tibetan scripture pavilion, and it will be spread to the world. It is rumored that only by practicing to the tenth layer can you cross the river like Wei Tuo, and you can have the incorruptible body of Vajra, be invulnerable to all kinds of poisons, and be able to distinguish the sound of a hundred miles away. The general has only practiced to the fifth level and can be invincible, and he can see the power of this Heart Sutra.
In the past, An Xin had been practicing since she was six years old, but because she was riddled with mundane things, she only practiced to the third level when she died, she only felt that the five senses were sensitive, her body was as light as a swallow, and her breath was long, but she didn't try what power it was, after all, as a concubine, she also had to pay attention to her demeanor, and she couldn't jump around in the palace.
