Chapter 224, Pure Yang Water

Xie Xiaoxian sighed in thought for a moment and was speechless. You Fang said to Tu Su: "Just tell your uncle that I am not in a hurry. I will wait until the project is almost paid. I want him to work hard to ensure the quality and time limit."

"Yeah, yeah!" Tu Su nodded seriously, and then she noticed the cup between You Fang and Xie Xiaoxian. She reached out to take it out curiously, tilted her head and looked at it and asked, "What is this, an antique?"

You Fang asked back: "How do you know it's an antique?"

Tu Su: "Didn't you just come from Panjiayuan? If it's something you bought there, what is it if it's not an antique? My father has been shopping in Panjiayuan a lot recently."

Xie Xiaoxian stretched out his hand to hold it under the cup and said, "It's really an antique. Porcelain from Ge Kiln in the Song Dynasty. You Fang just bought it for 120,000 yuan."

Tu Su opened his mouth wide, holding the cup in both hands and said, "Is it so expensive?"

You Fang: "You get what you pay for. This is still the price for cross-selling goods in the industry. What I got is already very real. What is your father doing in Panjiayuan when he has nothing to do?"

Tu Su pouted and said: "He has watched too many TV programs recently and is also interested in collecting. He has read a lot of books at home, all of which are thick books with color pages of photos and the like, like the "Antique Guide".

Then I often go to Panjiayuan when I have free time, and discuss research with others when I have nothing to do.”

"Well, it's okay to treat this as a hobby, but it's not appropriate to treat it as a hobby. Tu Su, you should persuade your father." You Fang frowned and said something.

As the saying goes, antiques are not fun! When interests and knowledge are well understood, it is harmless and fun to occasionally spend a small amount of money to buy some lessons. But once you become addicted and form a paranoid mentality, you firmly believe that you will become a collector who has a discerning eye to recognize real gold.

The problem may be serious, so the wife and children are separated and left with only a pile of rags, which is not something you have ever seen before.

Usually there are two types of people who are most likely to suffer big losses in this regard. One is the rich nouveau riche who pretends to be elegant even though they don’t understand, and then they are praised by others and buy back a bunch of fakes.

I once saw the boss of a group company in Shanxi build a warehouse as a private collection museum. The displays in it were all fakes, and he thought it was the largest and most successful investment, which even delayed his serious business.

The other type of people are senior intellectuals like Tu Suocheng who have a certain identity and social status. They have enough cultural accomplishment and can study various materials and documents on their own, but they are also prone to develop a kind of paranoid self-confidence and stubbornness.

Believe in your own vision, and others will not be able to persuade you. Once you become addicted to it and spend all your money on so-called collections, it can easily lead to family disputes and conflicts.

After all, Tu Suocheng is an outsider. No matter how much he studies "Antique Collection" at home, he is still an outsider. With his financial resources and expertise, it is impossible for him to become a real collector. There is no big problem if he is interested in research, but this kind of thing

It's very seductive, and it's easy to fall deeper into it if you're not careful. Someone needs to remind him.

Today's collection market has long passed the era of buying more than selling, and hunting for gold on the street stalls. Genuine goods can only be bought at the price of the genuine goods, and at the price of the genuine goods, you can buy them nine times out of ten.

It is still a fake. For someone like Tu Suocheng, the possibility of successfully picking up a leak in Panjiayuan is - zero! On the contrary, many scams are designed for people like him, and you will fall into it if you are not careful.

You Fang has always been very relaxed and calm in front of Tu Su. Although these words are unpleasant, he said them all. Tu Su frowned when he heard this and said: "My mother is also worried about this, but the reason is not as clear as Brother You Fang's explanation.

!...Brother You Fang, how long will you stay in Beijing this time, and will you visit my house when you have time? My father and mother will definitely welcome you, can you just remind my father?"

You Fangzhi shook his head: "I can't say these words to him face to face. He won't be able to lose face. If he gets angry, it will be counterproductive. It would be most appropriate for you and your mother to explain the details clearly and chat at home to get vaccinated.

.”

When Tu Su heard this, he opened his eyes wide and said, "Oh - Brother You Fang's words still make sense. So, are you free to come to my house to play?"

You Fang waved his hand and said: "I was in a hurry this time. I have to leave tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time. However, I have something to give to your father. Just treat it as a gift for a visit, even though I didn't come."

Tu Su: "What?"

You Fang: "It's the cup you're holding."

"Ah, such a valuable thing?" The little girl was shocked.

Xie Xiaoxian was also surprised. He glanced at You Fang in confusion. After thinking for a while, he came to his senses and said to Tu Su: "This is actually for you. If you give it to your father, he will be very happy."

Tu Su asked in confusion: "Why?"

You Fang smiled and explained: "In your uncle's business, the agency is actually the two of us, and you are the salesman who takes the work for him. According to normal practice, he should give you a commission, and you should give me a commission.

It’s a favor fee, so he asked you, not me directly. If it were someone else, he wouldn’t pass the message like you, explaining everything clearly, as if it’s nothing to do with him.”

Tu Su was stunned: "Brother You Fang is obviously helping our family, how can I still ask for your benefits?"

You Fang: "You think so, but things can't be seen that way. This money is not a benefit to me. It is a commission that your uncle took out of the project funds to give to the agency. It belongs to their company's operating costs. I don't do decoration myself.

The company doesn't know the owner of the decoration company, and you introduced him? How could I have found his company without you? Even if it is introduced by others, it is beneficial for the introducer himself."

Tu Su: "But I don't want these?"

You Fang: "I know you haven't thought about it at all. You don't want your uncle's benefits, nor do you want to take advantage of me. But if you think so, how can I take advantage of your family? It's better to treat this project as a gift.

Favor... It's not good to give you money. It can easily cause misunderstandings among the elders, and I know you won't want it. This cup is quite suitable. Take it back and give it to your father. It has other uses. Even if it is yours

So filial."

Tu Su was a little dizzy due to You Fang's words. He didn't think much about it for a moment, so he blinked his big eyes and asked, "What's the use of this cup? Is drinking water from it good for health? Then I'll give it to my mother."

You Fang couldn't help laughing and said: "I don't know if it has any health effects, but it's best not to drink water with it." Then he explained the characteristics of Ge Kiln porcelain in detail based on the real thing, including things that would never be mentioned in cultural relic appreciation books.

Finally, he said to Tu Su: "Go back and tell your father this, not to teach him how to search for treasure, but to tell him that such a thing would cost me, an industry insider, 120,000 yuan to get it. It's not a matter of luck."

I missed the opportunity... Your father is interested in these things. If you have a real thing on the bookshelf at home, you can play with it by yourself or let your friends watch it, and you will feel much better."

Tu Su didn't want it, but everything You Fang said made sense, and he also gave a cup with some tricks.

Tell your father, if he accepts it, then accept it. If he doesn’t want it, keep it for brother You Fang first.

After accepting the things, I thought that this was a gift from Brother You Fang to my father, and that it was so valuable and elegant. For some reason, I felt a sweet and happy feeling in my heart.

When the meal was almost finished, Tu Su went to the bathroom, and Xie Xiaoxian took the opportunity to ask: "Little wanderer, how much is this cup worth?"

You Fang shrugged: "It's just for 120,000 yuan. I don't know how much this antique is worth, but I can find the right opportunity and sell it for 200,000 yuan. I used to do the sewing business here, you know it."

"

Xie Xiaoxian's expression was hard to describe. She looked at him and said in a slightly angry tone: "Are you quite generous to her?"

You Fang looked into her eyes: "Shouldn't it be right? Did I do something wrong?"

Xie Xiaoxian couldn't stand his direct gaze. She blushed slightly and avoided looking: "I didn't say what you did shouldn't be done, but what you did was very beautiful. Most people can't catch up with you... You are really capable."

.”

It was about eight o'clock in the evening when we finished eating. It was still early in the evening in Beijing, and many people had not even arrived home yet. Tu Su asked pitifully: "Brother You Fang, can you send me some food?"

Shall I go home?"

When she was in Guangzhou, she would go to You Fang's place to play, and she would go back to the dormitory after dinner without even saying a word. You Fang would take the initiative to see her off every time, and they would walk through the campus together, which was often the time when You Fang felt the best in the day. Tu Su also

I think this feeling couldn't be better, but she will say thank you very obediently every time, even though this has become a habit between them.

Today, Tu Su took the initiative to beg You Fang. It was not for anything else. She had never carried such a valuable thing home alone, and it was also a piece of porcelain. What if it was lost or broken on the road? The little girl was thinking

A little scared.

Xie Xiaoxian smiled and took her arm and said: "Let's take you home together. I happened to pass by your door on the way back." The scene seemed to have returned to the scene where everyone had dinner together in Guangzhou. Xie Xiaoxian and You Fang once sent you home together.

Tu Su returned to the dormitory, and then she saw You Fang off alone, but this time she took a taxi.

The taxi entered the community and arrived at the downstairs of Tu Su's house. Tu Su carefully picked up the things and got out of the car. He pointed to a window on the second floor and said: "Brother You Fang, that's my home...Sister Xiaoxian, come up and sit for a while."

No?"

Xie Xiaoxian didn't say anything, just looked at You Fang, who waved his hands with a smile: "No, I will send your sister Xiaoxian home when I have the chance next time. Don't forget to say hello to your parents."

.”

Watching Tu Su go upstairs, Xie Xiaoxian asked in a low voice: "You Fang, where do you live? I'll see you off."

You Fang: "It's better for me to see you off. I should also see you off. How can you let a girl take you home after dinner?"

"No, I want to give it to you." Then her voice lowered again, like a mosquito humming: "I want to give it to you."

You Fang helplessly said in her ear: "I don't live anywhere. I stayed overnight in Yuyuantan Park last night not to save money. You know I often practice at night. I didn't have much luggage when I came yesterday.

I didn’t plan to stay long, so I simply didn’t stay.”

Xie Xiaoxian grabbed his sleeve: "That's not possible. Even if you are capable enough not to sleep and not be afraid of catching a cold, you still have to have a place to stay, even if you need to wash up well. There is a hotel near my home, and the conditions are not bad.

"

At this time, the taxi driver was a little impatient and asked: "Have you finished whispering, where are you going?"

Xie Xiaoxian quickly replied: "Let's go, let's go now."

You Fang had no reason to refuse this concern, so he went to stay at the hotel introduced by Xie Xiaoxian. Xie Xiaoxian sent him to the door of the room, and when he left, he looked a little reluctant. It seemed that he wanted to stay but also wanted to invite You.

Fang went to his own home as a guest, but he didn't say anything after all. Thinking about it, if he was brought back like this, how could he tell his family? And You Fang might not be willing.

Before leaving, Xie Xiaoxian asked him when he would leave Beijing tomorrow. You Fang thought about it and said it would be at night.

You Fang really didn't plan to stay in Beijing longer. If he hadn't met Xie Xiaoxian by chance and Tu Su, he might have left tonight and went to the beach. Liu Li stayed with him in Chongqing for a long time this time, which was a lesson.

There are many things, some of which you need to master when practicing the secret method, some of which he didn't know how to use before, and some of which, although he doesn't understand yet, can be gradually verified in the future.

Liu Li specifically mentioned two things - Yin realm soil and pure Yang water.

The old man did not expect that his apprentice could collect one or two pieces of Yin Realm soil in such a short period of time, and then use so much of it. Of course, the higher the cultivation level and the more places he travels, the greater the possibility of collecting this kind of thing.

, and when Liu Li gave the order to be a master a year ago, You Fang was not considered a top-notch expert at all.

This time he started to teach his disciples new things. The use of the underworld soil is not only to cover the consciousness, track, destroy corpses and eliminate traces, but also to collect and refine the extremely precious underworld soil. Every time it is used like this, it will cost a lot.

.Liu Li looked at You Fang's scroll and told him that he could refine the Yin Realm soil into the landscape of the scroll to become invisible and persistent Yin Qi, and taught him a more advanced secret method of refining the realm.

You Fang's paintings carry the spirit of the earth's mountains and rivers, but they are always unreal, because the mountains and rivers in the scrolls are not real mountains and rivers after all. However, if the soil from the underworld is refined into the places where the yin energy gathers in the scrolls, the mountains and rivers will become real.

The feeling of form, but the mountains and rivers in the world are yin and yang. There can't be only yin energy in the picture. The old man said another thing - pure yang water.
