Chapter 8 A jade cabbage in the palace of the spectrum
People are in the rivers and lakes, and there is a way to steal.
Heipi fell into the ranks of the "lower eight generals", and I will punish him.
If it's all the same as the "Zhengjiang" girl, maybe everyone will stop at it and won't make a fuss.
The black skin went away in embarrassment with a few ruffians, and he didn't even dare to turn his head back.
This time, I helped the woman who collected the waste, not because she was greedy for anything, but because of the morality of the Jianghu people.
"My name is Sun Shenxiang, this is my brother, Monk Sun. He works as a temporary worker in the express freight department behind the small road, and if the big brother needs anything, just make a phone call, and our sister and brother will come right away. β
The woman thanked me again and again, and I just smiled and waved my hand without saying anything more.
Monk Sun wanted to open his mouth several times, but was stopped by Sun Agarwood with his eyes.
It seems that the only one who can suppress this kid is his sister.
After eating, I did not go home, but walked along the moat.
For ten years, I have been longing for revenge day and night, but there is not a single clue who the enemy is or where to start taking revenge.
"Father, mother, my son has grown up, your spirit in the sky must bless me, sword the enemy, cut a thousand knives, and avenge your hatred......"
Before I knew it, my eyes were moist.
After crossing the moat, I found myself near Caomen Street.
This is a high-end area in the antique circle of Bianliang City, with high-end decoration of shops on both sides, and there are no antique shelves inside, only tea tables, bird cages, bookshelves, and green plants.
From the outside, it doesn't look like an antique shop at all.
The names of the store's signboards are also very subtle, all of which are named after "garden, building, pavilion, and platform", not ordinary "pavilion, zhai" and the like.
In the distance, I saw a shop with a plaque on the door that read the word "Cuinong".
The plaque is made of walnut catalpa, five feet long and two feet wide, not painted, only brushed with tung oil.
Those two words were not written with pen and ink, but were inlaid with fine jadeite.
The style is unique and elegant.
I stopped across from the shop and looked through the old green wooden lattice window.
A woman in a cheongsam sits with her back to the window, drinking tea with a cup in her hand.
The cheongsam on her body is also emerald green, and her long black wavy hair is sandwiched with an equally emerald hairpin.
Actually, I was attracted to this hairpin from the beginning, and when I saw the hairpin first, I saw this slender woman.
There are many grades in the field of jadeite, and those big road goods are generally distinguished by A emerald and B emerald, which has actually fallen into the inferior.
Not a top-notch jadeite that won't fall into my eyes.
Since this shop is named "Cuinong", it must have operated jadeite to a certain height, so it dared to directly call itself "Cui".
Moreover, the best jadeite is respected as "thick".
The name of this shop is "Emerald Supreme", which actually contains the implicit meaning of "Emerald Supreme".
This name alone has overwhelmed the crowd and occupies a very important position on Caomen Street.
I stood for a few minutes, and just as I was leaving, a black Audi sedan drove up from the south and stopped in front of the store.
The door opened, and a young man in a suit and leather shoes with shiny hair got out of the car, holding a black square box in his left hand, and pushed open the store's lattice door.
Inside, the woman got up and turned her head to meet the young man.
I exclaimed, "It's so beautifulβ"
First, the woman was beautiful, with big and bright eyes, and a delicate and bepleasing smile in her eyes, as if she could speak. She wore a faint peach lipstick, which was the ultimate beauty of a red flower in the green bush against the backdrop of the greenery in the store.
She has a standard classical beauty melon seed face, with a fair complexion, like clotted fat, and when she smiles, her cheeks show big dimples, and her white and neat teeth are shining......
Seeing her, I felt that the golden signboard of the entire Caomen Street was much darker.
Second, when she greeted with a smile, the young man had already opened the box and took out a jade cabbage from it.
Even though I was ten paces away, I could still see the whole picture of the cabbage with great accuracy.
The total length of the cabbage is half a foot, the diameter is about four inches, it is definitely carved from large materials, the body is full, the style is realistic, and the carving is exquisite.
This cabbage is not only a big ingredient, but also an old ingredient. Therefore, it does not have the cheap luster of new materials, but is green and black, and the color is close to the "green and blue color" said in ancient books.
The woman's red lips intertwined with the emerald color of the cabbage, directly locked my eyes, and I could no longer remove them.
The two of them talked for a few words, and the woman held the cabbage in her palm, and the smile on her face became even brighter.
I have never seen such a beautiful woman in reality, and the feminine charm revealed by her body is like an old osmanthus wine, from the inside out, the fragrance is mellow, and people will get drunk when they look at it twice.
"What is the price? When can sellers meet? This kind of good thing, no one dares to accept it if no seller shows up? It's something from the palace, it must be on the score, right? β
I could read lips, and I clearly "saw" what she was saying when the woman spoke.
If it is something in the palace and in the spectrum, all the inheritance will be clear, when it flowed out of the palace, from whom it entered the market, how many times it has been passed over the past hundred years, who are the buyers and sellers, and how much is the counteroffer......
This is the rule of the trade, women are connoisseurs, and what they say is jargon.
At this moment, another white Toyota Accord sedan drove to the door of the store, and this time it was a middle-aged woman about forty years old, wearing a purple trench coat, quirky sunglasses, and three diamond rings on her left hand, all of which were flashing with white light.
The woman in the store came out and grabbed the middle-aged woman's arm.
Under the sun, the beauty of the young woman can be seen at a glance, it is simply a copy of the young Guan Zhilin, the eyebrows are flirtatious, and the facial features are picturesque, which makes me feel for a while that I am not standing on the antique street of Bianliang City in the north at this moment, but in the bustling and beautiful Central Plaza on Hong Kong Island.
Of course I've seen Guan Zhilin, but it's in the twilight of beauty.
At the moment, the woman I see is not the young Guan Zhilin, but she is even better.
Now, the jade cabbage is placed on the table, and the three of them are around the table, looking down carefully.
Obviously, the young man is the broker, the middle-aged woman is the buyer, and the young woman is the boss of Cuinong, witnessing the transaction between the two.
From a distance, the thing is good, but it seems to be a little problematic.
The problem lies in a bottom bracket under the cabbage, and it is obvious that the color, wood, and patent leather of this mahogany bottom bracket are not in harmony with the cabbage.
I have an excellent eye, not only on the outside, but also on the inside.
"When looking at antiques, the eyes should be smooth and the taste should be sufficient. Once there is a problem at the first feeling, then, the final result must be that there must be a problem, and it is a big problem. β
This is the truth in the antique shop, that is, the essence of the words "antique taste" said by the older generation of antique connoisseurs.
Antiques must have the "taste" of antiques, and if the taste is insufficient, the things will not be of sufficient level.
A real master, as soon as you smell your nose, you will know whether the antique is real or fake.
If there is a problem with the bottom bracket, there will be a problem with the emerald cabbage.
I didn't hesitate, immediately crossed the street and walked in slowly.
"Sister Peony, this is something in the palace, it can be found in the spectrum, it is guaranteed to be a good thing, or I wouldn't dare to take it to Sister Cui...... The price, the seller wants to immigrate, five hundred, a fixed price ......"
The young man was sprayed with high-end French cologne, and the smell was a little strong, and it had spread throughout the store.
"Cuinong, tell me about it?" The middle-aged woman took off her sunglasses, and the dark circles under her eyes were very heavy, but this must be a super rich person, and the three diamond rings on her left hand add up to more than two million.
I realized that "Tsuinong" was not only the name of the store, but also the woman's real name.
"Xiao Zhu is not an outsider, he has worked together more than a dozen times before, and he has never been eye-catching. Cabbage is a good thing, the bottom bracket is a little worse, and it is a little unpleasant. Xiao Zhu, I just said, invite the seller out and meet with Sister Peony. Five hundred is a lot of money for ordinary people, and for Sister Peony, it's a drop in the bucket, right, Sister Peony? β
The peony sister smiled: "Oh, Cuinong, you still know me best." I have collected twenty cabbages in the palace, and I am not satisfied, just this one, it is still pleasing to the eye. Xiao Zhu, tell the buyer that as long as it is a good thing and the pedigree is accurate, I will accept it. β
The three of them talked so passionately that they didn't pay attention to me at all.
Now, I'm only five steps away from the cabbage and immediately see what the problem is.
Where the bottom bracket is connected to the cabbage, all the grooves are not matched at all.
According to the rules of the bottom bracket, the three points have stability, and three concave points must be made on the bottom bracket to let the cabbage fall into it to a depth of five millimeters, which will neither block the delicacy of the cabbage, but also not let it roll and slide.
Now, the cabbage does not match the bottom support, the position of the three concave points is not accurate, and the cabbage is placed on it, and the foothold is unstable.
In this case, it proves that the bottom bracket is not the original match of cabbage.
Since it is in the spectrum, the cabbage and the bottom should have a good look.
In addition, it is now afternoon, the sun has set in the west, and the sun is shining through the glass window, and a little afterglow hits the cabbage.
What I watched was the shadow of the cabbage sprinkled on the table.
The shadows are a little cloudy and not transparent enough.
If it is a pure old material, the light is transparent and the shadow is transparent, and the lines of the shadow are slender, like a knife and an axe.
"What for? What to watch? The young man, Xiao Zhu, suddenly shouted and pointed at me.
Cui Nong and Sister Peony also turned to look at me, looking up and down.
"I'm just going to take a look." I smiled.
That Xiao Zhu's eyes were black and blue, and his eyes were impetuous, which showed that he was a little anxious in his heart.
I can now judge that there is something wrong with the cabbage, and he just wants to close the deal as soon as possible, take the money and leave.
This is the taboo of the antique industry, a good meal is not afraid of being late, a good thing is not afraid of seeing, if the buyer and seller urge the transaction, there is a ghost in the heart.
"Xiao Zhu, let's get down to business first, let the seller show his face, even if it's just a phone call, and tell me the origin of this thing. Call now, in front of me and Sister Peony, okay? β
Cuinong's voice is very beautiful, Mandarin is pure, but with the softness of Jiangnan Wu language.
"This friend of mine is from the white road, with a head and a face, and he doesn't want people to know that he has sold his property and immigrated, which has a bad impact. Sister Cuinong and Sister Peony are both masters of Caomen Street, so every time I have something good, I send it here as soon as possible. This time, I took a head guarantee, the thing is a good thing, the bid is 500, it is really the price of cabbage, the two of you quickly accepted it, I also have face on my friend's side......"
Now, as long as I turn the cabbage over and let me see where it touches the bottom tray, I know what is wrong with this "sick cabbage".
