Chapter 303 A Priceless Treasure
The two of them looked at the white-haired old man who was still leaning on crutches and walked over step by step, which was a little strange.
"Old man, is something wrong?"
Yang Huan was deceived and was in a bad mood, but she was still polite to the old man.
The old man came over, holding a cane, clenched his fists and saluted.
Yang Huan found that people who like antiques seem to like this tune.
The owner of Cangjin Pavilion just now and the middle-aged scribe, when they met, also learned the style of the ancients.
"You two, just now I looked at the jade pendant purchased by this young master, and thought it was a bit novel, but I couldn't see it clearly at a glance."
Yang Huan nodded, unable to guess what the old man was doing.
"This old man has been interested in antiques since he was a child, and he has been dabbling in antiques, but this is the first time I have seen such a strange jade pendant. I wonder if I can lend it to this old man to take a look?"
Yang Huan and Zhuang Zicheng looked at each other and felt abrupt.
However, the owner of the Tibetan Gold Pavilion has also identified it just now, and it is not a treasure.
And the opposite is an old man in his 70s or 80s who is leaning on crutches. What are you afraid of?
So Yang Huan didn't say much, just took out the wooden box and handed it over.
The old man took the wooden box, looked left and right, and was amazed.
"This box is carved from small-leaf rosewood from India. Its value is comparable to gold, but the carving style is a bit British aristocratic style. It should be a treasure from the United Kingdom!"
Yang Huan glanced at Zhuang Zicheng, who was also a little surprised.
It's really a god, I just glanced at it, and I can see it.
"If I'm not mistaken, the word in the middle of the jade pendant is the Qin Dynasty Xiaozhuan, but it's not very neat. It should be the word in the early Han Dynasty, she!"
"Aspiration?" Yang Huan thought it was an aspiration.
"Yes, she is a pig. In ancient times, there was a kind of torture called "Hu", that is, to cut off a person's limbs, gouge out his eyes, cut off his tongue, and turn him into a human. This kind of torture was used."
Yang Huan had heard of this allusion.
"So, this jade pendant is an ominous thing?"
If it is a mascot, how can it be engraved with such a word?
If it is really ominous, then Yang Huan must not be used as a gift, otherwise it will not be a blessing, but a curse!
Who knows, the old man shook his head, "No, no, no."
He held the jade pendant in his hand and played with it very carefully. Gradually, he discovered the mystery.
That is, after the jade pendant is in contact with the human body, the temperature increases, and the jade pendant, which originally had no luster, becomes more moist, with a little red luster. The longer it is close to the body, the more obvious the luster.
"Sure enough, this is an extremely rare warm fragrance and warm jade from the ancient Western Regions!"
"What do you mean?" Yang Huan and Zhuang Zicheng were confused.
"Dai Shulun, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once used the blue field to warm the sun and the good jade to produce smoke to describe the artistic conception that can be seen but not reachable. Later, the great poet Li Shangyin had a cloud in Jinse's poems, the sea and the moon and the pearl had tears, and the blue field was warm and the jade produced smoke."
"Both poets use warm jade to describe a mood."
Yang Huan has always despised this kind of behavior of dropping the book bag.
But seeing that the other party is an old man, and he can find out the origin of this jade pendant, he can only bear it for a while.
"Old gentleman, you mean, this is a piece of warm jade?"
"more than!"
"More than that?" Yang Huan didn't expect there to be surprises.
"Whether warm jade really exists, the archaeological community has always disagreed. Some people think it exists, but some people think that it is just an imaginary, but without exception, if there is a warm jade, it must be extremely rare, only the dignitaries, even the Only the royal family has the right to use it."
In the ancient imperial society, extremely rare treasures were often used by the most powerful people.
"I think the carving method of this jade pendant is very similar to the characteristics of the early Han Dynasty. The small seal character is a personal name."
"Name?" Zhuang Zicheng felt amused.
"Old sir, didn't you say that the word 嘘 means pig?"
Isn't that someone who named their child a pig?
Are there such stupid parents?
"Master Zhuang, you have misunderstood this!" The old man replied with a smile.
"Misunderstand?"
"Yes, the living conditions in ancient times were poor. Even the children of the nobles, many of them failed to wait until they reached adulthood and died due to various reasons. , When naming a child, he will deliberately choose some lowly and humble names, the purpose is to make the child physically strong. "
"This point, even in many places now, still has traditions, but now people are more likely to take nicknames."
Yang Huan knew something about this.
This situation is more common in rural and rural areas, such as Chen Ergou, or Xiaozhu.
Parents take this name with the intention of wanting their children to thrive.
"Who in ancient times had this name?" Yang Huan was very curious.
"Yes!" The old man nodded solemnly, "Han Wudi!"
Yang Huan frowned, "Isn't Emperor Wu of the Han called Liu Che?"
There are some in this history book.
Bully me for reading less?
"That's the name he changed after he became a prince. Before that, he was called Liu She."
Yang Huan was a little suspicious and didn't know if it was true or false.
So with the principle of asking Du Niang if you are in doubt, log in to Du Niang with your mobile phone and enter Liu Che.
Sure enough, seeing Liu Che's alias is called Liu She.
"You mean, this jade pendant is the personal warm jade of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"
"That's right!" The old man nodded affirmatively.
"But just now, the owner of Cangjin Pavilion swore that this is a fake!" Yang Huan was a little skeptical.
Is the old man in front of him even more discerning than the boss of Cangjin Pavilion?
"He just glanced at it quickly, and didn't pay attention to it. In addition, Nuan Yu said that it was controversial and rare in the world, so it's not surprising that he couldn't recognize it for a while."
Yang Huan looked at his righteous words, but he believed it a little.
Otherwise, it makes no sense that the British royal family has treasured it for so many years, and they are not fools.
If it is really the personal warm jade of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, then this thing can be valuable, a priceless treasure!
"As the saying goes, every man is innocent, but he is guilty. In the era of imperial power, whoever owns this warm jade will definitely not dare to say it, and in the end it is likely to fall into the hands of the royal family. If I am not wrong, it should be in In the late Qing Dynasty, he lived in Europe."
This time Yang Huan was able to draw a blueprint in his mind.
This warm jade fell into the hands of the British aristocracy, who then colonized India, so they made this wooden box with lobular rosewood from India as a family heirloom.
British aristocrats seem to respect the use of wooden boxes, and the Duke of Westminster uses wooden boxes to hold invitations.
The old man soon found corroborating evidence.
Seeing that jade pendant was held in his hand, it didn't take long for it to glow red, and the whole jade pendant became warmer.
There is also a faint scent.
"I can be 100% sure that this is the legendary warm fragrance and warm jade!" The old man's expression was very excited.
But after a while, the old man reluctantly put the jade pendant back into the wooden box, and presented Yang Huan with his cherished hands, "Young Master Yang, this is an invaluable treasure, please also ask. Be careful!"
Yang Huan took it over in a funny way, and the things he bought casually became national treasures?
"The old man will go back to reading the ancient books immediately, and if there is any gain, he must come back to visit immediately!"
After saying that, the old man took out a business card from his pocket and gave it to Yang Huan.
At a glance, darling, it turned out to be the honorary chairman of the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee, called Zhang Xiaochuan.
Below is his phone number!
"Then you have to hurry, or I will give it as a birthday gift in two days!" Yang Huan said with a smile.
As a birthday gift?
Zhang Xiaochuan looked at Zhuang Zicheng, seemed to have thought of something, nodded, clenched his fists, and left.
Seeing him stumbling away, Zhuang Zicheng was a little strange, and then looked at the business card in Yang Huan's hand.
"Brother Huan, you're not a liar, are you?"
Yang Huan laughed dumbly, "Have you ever seen such a liar?"
Zhuang Zicheng was speechless, he had never seen it before!
"Come on, let's go back!"
The two walked out of the alley, Zhuang Zicheng saw the location clearly, and called the driver to drive the car over.
While waiting for the bus, Yang Huan received a call from Liu Mingwei.
This Fatty Liu had already inquired about it for a long time. He knew that Yang Huan had no plane to Beijing today, so he immediately called and said that he was going to pick up the wind for Yang Huan at night, and asked Yang Huan to honor him.
Yang Huan refused, but agreed.
After sitting on a plane for so long, I went to the antiques trading market as soon as I got off the plane. Now that things are done, I have to go home and sleep quickly to avoid the jet lag.
But who would have thought that Yang Huan had just left by car, and Qin Yongming also got off at the same place.
A man ran out of the alley immediately.
If Long Wu was there, he would definitely be able to recognize it at a glance.
This guy is the one who has been following them since the airport just now.
"Master Qin!"
"Where's Yang Huan?" Qin Yongming asked right away.
"I don't know, I watched him and Zhuang Zicheng walk out of the Tibetan Gold Pavilion, and I ran back to inquire about the news. It seems that I should leave for a while."
The stalker obviously didn't see Yang Huan and Zhang Xiaochuan meet, and thought they had been gone for a long time.
In fact, it's a matter of the front and rear feet.
If Yang Huan delayed a little longer, he might still be able to meet him.
"What news have you found out?" Qin Yongming asked with concern.
The stalker shook his head, "The people in the Golden Pavilion refused to talk, they just said that Yang Huan invited them to appraise the treasure!"
"Jianbao?"
Qin Yongming can almost conclude that Yang Huan must have bought an antique as a birthday gift!
This bastard, he actually knows how to do what he likes, and he doesn't seem stupid!
"Go, take me there!"
Cangjin Pavilion?
Young Master Qin just spent nearly one million to buy an antique as a birthday gift from Cangjin Pavilion. He is going to inquire about the news. Could it be that the people from Cangjin Pavilion dare not tell him?
Qin Yongming had been here two or three times, and he was familiar with the road and touched the alleyway to the second floor.
The owner of Cangjin Pavilion is not there, but the middle-aged scribe is there.
"Old Zhou!" Qin Yongming walked over and shouted.
"Yo, Young Master Qin, what kind of wind blows you here?"
The middle-aged scribe was usually gentle and romantic, but when he saw Qin Yongming, he wished he could write flattery on his face.
"Old Zhou, I ask you something, you have to answer me honestly!"
"Okay, Young Master Qin, you didn't say a word!"
Qin Yongming looked around with a guilty conscience, making sure that no one was paying attention to them before speaking.
"Did Zhuang Zicheng bring someone named Yang Huan to look for treasures for you?"
The middle-aged scribe Lao Yi Zhou listened and nodded hastily, "Yes, there is such a thing, to identify a jade pendant."
"What's the origin?" Qin Yongming quickly asked.
"Our owner looked at it for a long time, and immediately concluded that this jade pendant is a fake, and its value does not exceed ten thousand."
"Really?" Qin Yongming didn't quite believe it.
Could the gift that Yang Huan carefully prepared be a fake?
"Master Qin, this is not what I said, our boss said it, and you know, our boss is called fiery eyes. He has seen many antiques, and he never misses it!" Lao Zhou was very determined.
Qin Yongming seems to believe in the vision of the owner of the Cangjin Pavilion.
"It's just..." Lao Zhou hesitated. 〖To be continued〗[This text is provided by Meng Gongzi & Xingmeng Qingwu Feiyang of Qihang Update Group] If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. )
