Chapter 118: Inheriting the Treasure Jade (1)
When they arrived at Manjun's house, it was only about four o'clock in the afternoon. Manjun went out to buy vegetables in the vegetable market. Fang Yi sat on the first floor with his teacher and Mr. Yu and others chatting. He listened to the two old men telling some stories about the antiques store. Fang Yi and Bai Chuxia both listened with relish.
"Fang Yi, to be honest, did the jade pendant you took yesterday come out of the tomb?"
Bai Chuxia suddenly thought of something, so she touched Fang Yi and said, "In the future, you should buy less things unearthed from the tombs. It is illegal and will also encourage the tomb robbers to be arrogant. This is in disguise to encourage them to rob tombs..."
Recently, Bai Chuxia joined a large case team to investigate a large tomb stolen in the suburbs of Jinling. She followed Mr. Yu to the auction site yesterday and wanted to find some clues, but she just returned in vain.
"Officer Bai, I am a law-abiding person..."
Hearing Bai Chuxia's words, Fang Yi was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he quickly said, "That jade pendant has its origin and also has documents for returning antiques. You police officers can't take it away for me for no reason..."
Although this ancient jade may be worthless in the eyes of others, Fang Yi always feels that there is a mystery in this jade that he cannot understand. If you compare the book "Yongle Encyclopedia" with this dragon-shaped jade pendant, Fang Yi would rather abandon the "Yongle Encyclopedia" worth millions and choose this jade pendant.
"Who said you were going to take away your jade? I just remind you to be careful..."
Seeing Fang Yigou biting Lu Dongbin and not knowing the good hearts, Bai Chuxia's pretty face suddenly became cold. She didn't know why she wanted to remind Fang Yi, but she ended up being criticized.
"Oh, just don't accept my jade..."
Fang Yi has a high emotional intelligence in foreign affairs, but he really doesn't know much about women. He doesn't know why Bai Chuxia suddenly turned cold and added another sentence.
"Xiao Fang, are you talking about the jade I had yesterday?"
Although Yu Xuan was chatting with Sun Lianda, his eyes were fixed on Fang Yi. Seeing that he and Bai Chuxia seemed to be cold, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. This kid is good at everything, but he just doesn't understand women very much.
Yu Xuan knew the Bai family a long time ago. He knew that Bai Chuxia was the proud daughter of the Bai family. Several large families went to marry and were rejected by the Bai family. Bai Chuxia never gave any color to those who pursue her.
However, during this trip to Jinling, Yu Xuan felt very sensitively that Bai Chuxia's attitude towards Fang Yi seemed to be a little different. She seemed to regard Fang Yi as a partner who could interact with equally, rather than keeping young men thousands of miles away like before.
Yu Xuan is a veteran. He knew that Bai Chuxia might not have had any so-called relationship with Fang Yi, but the attitude Bai Chuxia showed showed that she did not hate Fang Yi. This alone would probably surprise many people who knew Bai Chuxia.
So seeing Fang Yi being defeated, Yu Xuan led the topic to the ancient jade, which could be regarded as helping Fang Yi to break the siege.
"Old Yu, I was thinking of asking you to help me see..."
Hearing Yu Xuan's words, Fang Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and had a few short conversations with Bai Chuxia. This made Fang Yi feel like he was chatting with women, especially with beautiful women, which was really tiring.
As he spoke, Fang Yi took out the jade pendant from his pocket and said, "Old Yu, you have to testify to me. I got this jade from a regular auction. I can't let Officer Bai confiscate it for me..."
"You boy, haven't played yet, right?"
Yu Xuan glared at Fang Yi speechlessly. Bai Chuxia's words just now were clearly expressing the other party's relationship. Who knew that this kid was concerned about it and he was completely entangled in this piece of jade.
Bai Chuxia was also speechless about Fang Yi's reaction. She said something to Fang Yi for no reason today. She didn't expect that she would get angry.
However, no matter how angry he was, Bai Chuxia's curiosity about Fang Yi increased instead of reducing. She originally thought that Fang Yi, who was calm, had grown up in the city, because Bai Chuxia could not see the wildness brought by the people walking out of the mountains from Fang Yi.
"Xiao Bai, I, a student, grew up in the mountains since I was a child, and I am not very familiar with the worldly ways. Don't be surprised..." Sun Lianda spoke to help Fang Yi explain, and he cursed Fang Yi in his heart just now.
"Teacher Sun, it's nothing. I'm just afraid that he will go astray, so I just remind him..."
Looking at the ambiguous smiles on Sun Lianda and Man Jun and others, Bai Chuxia was so angry that she was blown away by Fang Yi. She was just a casual word, but she was given so much content by these people in front of her.
"Okay, let's take a look at Xiao Fang's jade first..." Yu Xuan knew that the girl was thin-skinned, so he changed the subject and took the jade that Fang Yi handed over to his hand.
"Hmm? The jade quality of this piece of jade is pretty good..."
After taking the jade pendant, Yu Xuan felt a chill in his hands and his eyes lit up, because the jade that could maintain the essence of jade in this hot summer must not be very bad in terms of jade quality.
"Xiao Fang, have you put this piece of jade in the water and breathed it?"
After a little look at the jade pendant in his hand, Yu Xuan saw some clues. All the dirt on the surface of this jade has been cleaned up. According to the ancients, jade has a spirit and knows how to spit out the old and accept the new. Therefore, raising jade in clear water is also one of the methods passed down since ancient times.
"Old Yu, I don't understand very much. I heard Brother Zhao mention it before, so I tried to put it in the water..." Fang Yi scratched his head and said, "Old Yu, I always feel that this jade pendant is very old, why don't you help me break the next generation?"
"This piece of jade is actually quite good. We have misunderstood before..."
Rubbing the jade pendant in his palm, Yu Xuan said, "Although the color of the jade is a bit messy, it does not hurt the jade itself. If you play it again, the six color of the jade on it will become one. The six ancient jade will probably be priceless at that time!"
Yu Xuan became more and more frightened as he looked at it. At first, he thought that this jade had been ruined by color stains, but after Fang Yi cleaned it up, he realized that it was actually a rare piece of multi-color stains. If he played with it properly for ten years, it would definitely be a valuable treasure jade.
"You guys are so lucky..."
Hearing Yu Xuan's words, Sun Chao and Zhao Hongtao shouted in unison. The Yongle version of "Yongle Ceremony" was encouraged by Fang Yi to buy it. He actually got such a good item by himself. According to this point, the auction yesterday seemed to be the most rewarding of Fang Yi.
"Hehe, the main reason is that I have no money, so I can only choose what others don't want. Luck is purely good luck..." Fang Yi smiled and attributed all his behavior to luck in accordance with Sun Chao and the others' words.
However, after Yu Xuan thought about it, Fang Yi was right. The things he took yesterday were often more than 100,000 yuan, but the items he took were relatively cheap, and they both picked up a big leak.
"Old Yu, what about the age of this jade? Is it a piece of Han jade..." Fang Yi didn't want to get involved on this topic, so he asked about the dynasty of this jade pendant. He didn't know much about jade, but he knew that jade in the Han Dynasty was the most famous.
"It's not Han jade. The shape and knife skills of this piece of jade are even more simple than Han jade, and even beyond the jade artifacts in Longshan culture..."
Holding a magnifying glass and carefully looking at the quaint jade pendant, Yu Xuan's face became more and more serious. After a while, an incredible look appeared on his face and he spoke: "Yes, this jade should have been earlier than the Longshan culture. If I guessed correctly, it should be a totem worshipped by humans at that time. Fang Yi, from the value of historical research, this jade is no less than that of the "Yongle Encyclopedia"..."
When Yu Xuan was speaking, he was already regretting it. He didn't expect that with his own eyes, he would have missed the two most valuable items in the auction in succession. This was really a geese all day long, but he was blinded by the geese.
ps: Today is the first day of the New Year. I wish you a happy New Year to my friends. I wish you all a happy New Year and good food! (To be continued.)
