Chapter 173: Cutting off the beard

A smile appeared on Lin Fan's face: "Can't you buy good things even if you have money, Young Master Zhao?" ”

Zhao Dongqing shook his head with a wry smile, and said extremely depressedly: "There are some things that money can't buy, these have always been the money I want to spend, and my grandfather even let out words." ”

"As long as he can get an antique with historical background and a well-known story, he can afford to spend as much as he wants."

"Save being ridiculed for being a nouveau riche."

"My grandfather started from scratch and has become one of the richest people since he was young, and my father is not interested in business, so he went to the system."

"Because of my grandfather's help, the position is very high now."

"Many people say that our family is rich for no more than three generations, that I am a loser, and I usually don't pay attention to their words, but this time they actually laughed at my father."

Lin Fan thought about it for a moment and understood what was going on.

Jiangxia City is now full of collectors, and none of the people who can afford to play collecting are simple characters.

Some people are just proud, and I am afraid that the words they say will be difficult to hear.

His heart moved, and he still had an item in his hand, which was of little use to him.

"Zhao Dashao, isn't there any item in the auction that can make you happy?"

"If there is, I won't be in a hurry, I heard that Xiao Fan, you still have a few good things in your hands, including the bronze gilt tiger talisman of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Orchid Pavilion Collection Order..."

Zhao Dashao doesn't know much, but every one of them is extremely precious and has a very far-reaching historical heritage.

The corners of Lin Fan's mouth hooked up with a smile: "So you want to buy an item from me?" ”

"That's right, even if the price is offered, it doesn't matter if it exceeds the market price by several times, and plus our Zhao family owes you a favor." Zhao Dongqing said very seriously.

His eyes were also full of anticipation.

Lin Fan stretched out his hand and took out a white bead.

"Have you ever seen this?"

Zhao Dashao's face was stunned, just now he saw that Lin Fan's hands were empty, and between these hands, he took out such a big white pearl, where did this come from?

He was embarrassed to ask about other people's secrets, but looked at the pearl carefully, and then shook his head: "It feels like the material of a pearl, but I have never seen such a big pearl." ”

"The diameter must be at least a dozen centimeters."

Lin Fan smiled and said: "You can go and check the classics, during the period of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Goguryeo sent envoys to come, and there was a problem." ”

"What's the problem?" Zhao Dongqing does not know much about history.

He likes to collect antiques, but that's just for his own face.

A young master like him prefers to go to those places where the lights are bright and glittering.

"You can check it yourself, this bead will be sold to you directly, according to the market price, it just so happens that I am short of money to participate in this auction." Lin Fan handed the beads directly to him.

Although he has known Zhao Dongqing for a short time, he can also see his personality.

And what is more important is the relationship between Zhao Qingqing.

Zhao Dongqing took the pearl in his hand, and just as he wanted to say something, he heard a sudden exclamation next to him.

"This is the Yellow River Orb of the Nine Songs?"

"Can you make me have long eyes?" When the eager voice sounded, it drew the attention of both people.

The person who spoke was an old man with a gray beard.

Lin Fan didn't know the other party, but when Zhao Dongqing saw the old man, his attitude immediately became extremely respectful: "Old Mr. Fu, I didn't expect you to come to this auction too." ”

"Do you know this pearl?"

Mr. Fu shook his head: "I'm not sure yet, but I just heard what the two little friends said, and I couldn't help but think of an interesting thing in history." ”

And his eyes looked at Lin Fan, with a burning look in his eyes.

"This little friend, can you lend me long eyes?"

Lin Fan smiled and nodded.

After Mr. Fu took it, he immediately took out the magnifying glass he carried with him and observed it carefully.

And Zhao Dongqing whispered in his ear: "Xiaofan, this old Mr. Fu's background is not ordinary, it was my father who invited him to be a guest at home, and my father's attitude was extremely respectful, I heard that he was from the capital." ”

"I don't know exactly what the position is, but if I can get my dad to be careful, it must be a high-level."

Lin Fan didn't say too much, what the identity of the other party had nothing to do with him, this was the old gentleman's knowledge, which made him a little surprised, few people knew about the incident that happened in the Tang Dynasty.

At this time, Mr. Fu exclaimed in amazement: "Sure enough, it's a magic work!" ”

"Everyone only knows the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but they don't know what humiliation Tang Taizong experienced when he founded the country."

"The Weishui Alliance slashed the white horse, conquered Goguryeo twice, suffered heavy losses the first time, and the second time really subdued those people, laying an unbreakable foundation for the future Tang Dynasty."

"And this Jiuqu Yellow River Orb was during the reign of Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, before the second expedition to Goguryeo."

"Goguryeo wanted several cities in the Tang Dynasty by making bets."

"The Jiuqu Yellow River Orb seems to be connected at both ends, but inside it is like a thousand threads, water droplets can pass, and the thread cannot be crossed."

"But the Tang Dynasty is smart, there are so many people, guess how the rope passed through the holes at these two ends in the end?"

Lin Fan knew this historical allusion, but Zhao Dongqing's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he hurriedly asked, "Mr. Fu, don't sell Guanzi, how did you get through?" ”

"There are countless forks in this pearl, and I guess it is difficult to pass through a silk thread even with the current means."

Mr. Fu smiled and stroked his beard, and turned his gaze to Lin Fan: "Little friend, you took out the Yellow River Orb of Jiuqu, do you know the allusion at that time?" ”

Lin Fan knew that this old man was probably going to test him.

He smiled and nodded: "Sucrose is smeared on one end, and the other end is tied with ants with a very thin rope, which is just right for ants to pass through the Yellow River Orb." ”

"Ants are extremely sensitive to direction, and they can go backwards when they take a fork in the road, looking for the smell, and directly wear the silk thread through it."

"It is precisely because Goguryeo became angry after losing the bet, but instead of delivering the city, he fought the autumn wind in the marginal city, which completely angered Tang Taizong."

"That's why there is the second expedition to Goguryeo!"

Mr. Fu couldn't help laughing: "Little friend, I really know this Nine Songs Yellow River Treasure Pearl. ”

"My old fellow is cheeky and wants to ask, can you sell me this orb?"

"Money is not a problem, this Jiuqu Yellow River Orb is a witness to the turning point of the Tang Dynasty, and it has extremely important historical value."

Zhao Dongqing was a little depressed, this was obviously going to be sold to himself, but Mr. Fu didn't talk about martial arts, and directly grabbed it!

But he can't afford to mess with this old man.
