Chapter 189
The prince broke
In the following time, Ms. Xia Yi and Liu Yufei exchanged more details of cooperation. For example, the commissions collected by the auction house, and when will someone come to pick up the goods in the auction company, or the auction company will be responsible for the safety of the item after the monk's hat pot is extracted, and what kind of compensation will be there if it is lost, etc.
Even though Liu Yufei said that this was not the first time he had sent something to the auction house, Ms. Xia Yi meticulously explained everything she should have.
Liu Yufei showed some lack of interest, and Jia Sidao next to him was very excited.
With this example now, when Jia Sidao sends things to the auction house in the future, can he also have a reference?
However, just as Xia Yi was leaving, he noticed that Liu Yufei's mood had always been low, so he smiled rarely and said, "Mr. Liu, for your reluctance, I will send you a message."
At this moment, Jia Sidao suddenly realized that when a woman with a stern face and very serious smiled occasionally, that kind of visual impact was no less than Li Shiyun's beauty. Even Liu Yufei, who had been silent, raised a lot of energy after seeing it.
Of course, the two men are paying more attention to the woman under professional clothing, with her flash-like smile, rather than the so-called valuable news she said.
"It is said that in Japan, a black jade birthday star appeared a few days ago. Its size is a bit similar to this monk's hat pot, and it was taken away by an old collector. If you are interested in this, you might as well go and inquire." Xia Yi smiled slightly, and after saying that, she looked at Liu Yufei's somewhat happy expression and couldn't help but raise her chin slightly with smugness, then turned around and left with a relaxed step.
Jia Sidao couldn't help but sigh in his heart that a capable woman would be really amazing if she wanted to be scheming. Just this news is undoubtedly extremely impactful for Liu Yufei now, and it is almost effortless to completely disperse Liu Yufei's depression caused by her planning to start from his grandfather and then take away a piece of Liu Yufei's favorite collection from him.
Looking at the joy in Liu Yufei's eyes at this time, Jia Sidao guessed that Liu Yufei was going to sell the monk's hat pot at a low price. He probably would be willing to do so.
"By the way, Xiao Jia, that woman just now said which Japanese accepted Mo Yu's birthday star?" Liu Yufei came to his senses and suddenly asked a sudden question.
"It seems that I didn't say the specifics, right?" Jia Sidao asked in confusion, "Otherwise, you should have time to chase after me and ask now."
"Puchi..." Li Shiyun next to her laughed out loud when she heard this.
Liu Yufei scratched the back of his head, feeling a little embarrassed, but he quickly explained: "It's okay, I just don't want to tell me, I won't go inquire by myself. Really,..." As he said that, he still attributed himself to, "The more beautiful this woman is, the more you are. Xiao Jia, if you meet her in the future,..."
However, before he finished speaking, Liu Yufei felt the atmosphere and something seemed to be wrong.
"Oh, by the way, that, I didn't say anything just now." Liu Yufei looked at Li Shiyun's eyes and hid to the side, picked up a piece of jade like jade, and said, "Xiao Jia, come on, I'll introduce you to a good thing."
"Yes, this jade is pretty beautiful. Moreover, it's not as beautiful as a woman. The more beautiful he is, the more he is." Li Shiyun couldn't help but joke. Jia Sidao smiled at her, but she couldn't help but hold her hand. Li Shiyun glanced at Jia Sidao in a narrow way and said, "It's okay, he's not talking about me anyway. Moreover, I'm not beautiful either."
After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Jia Sidao quite smiled.
Jia Sidao's heart trembled and muttered: It would be strange if you are not beautiful. However, he immediately thought about what Liu Yufei said: The more beautiful this woman is, the more she has.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that this was very correct! Especially when I recalled some of the small actions the other party would make at that time, I felt that this was simply truth. However, such a Li Shiyun, with a hint of cuteness in her maturity, would she look more and more touching, right?
"Hey, why are there so many jade Ruyi here?" Jia Sidao came to Liu Yufei and looked at a rather grand closet on the wall. All the ones in it were Ruyi. It was really amazing. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Can you have a special liking for Ruyi in Jade?"
"How can it be?" Liu Yufei sighed and said, "Mainly, as I kept it, I found that there are more things. It should be because the shape is too ordinary and popular. Look, here, here, here, here, but it is not just jasper. There are other things on it, such as agate, and this, the entire stand is made of red sandalwood, with a jasper-made bottle and quail inlaid on it. How about it? It's quite beautiful, right?"
Jia Sidao responded: "It's not bad."
"This one, two-headed ones, and four-headed ones here..." It seems that after receiving the news about Mo Yushouxing, Liu Yufei quickly got out of the depressed mood just now. At this moment, he introduced his collection to Jia Sidao, with a look of pride on his face. By the way, he also told some interesting stories that happened during the collection process. Jia Sidao and Li Shiyun also listened with relish.
"By the way, Xiao Jia, look at this jade Ruyi, is it the one on your side, "Weekly Diary", by the way, it is the "Weekly Diary", which is very similar to what you saw there?" Liu Yufei took out a jade Ruyi and asked.
Jia Sidao first started playing with it for a while, and felt that the jade Ruyi had a very fresh luster on it, which should be the result of being played with by people frequently. I think that Liu Yufei should like this thing very much, so he handed it to Li Shiyun, then nodded and said, "It really looks quite similar. If you don't say it, I would have thought it was your Uncle Zhou who stole it from there."
"Uh..." Liu Yufei was speechless, "If Uncle Zhou was willing to take action, I could get the Ruyi at a price of 10% higher than the market price. You know, even the patterns and textures in Ruyi are so similar, which is indeed rare. Maybe it was from the same craftsman..." As he said that, Liu Yufei felt that he had talked a little far away.
However, when it comes to what you like, especially for a collector, it is a bit farther and others will not mind.
Jia Sidao and Li Shiyun undoubtedly had a good patience. Looking here and there, listening to Liu Yufei's commentary like a commentator, he was really addicted to playing. In the end, Li Shiyun couldn't help but feel a little envious and said, "I always thought that the jade jewelry in my shop was equivalent to my personal collection. But now it seems that... the feeling is very different."
"This is naturally different from the ones displayed at home." Jia Sidao was quite funny and glanced at Li Shiyun. There were not many opportunities like this. "However, if you move all the jades to your home, you probably won't be able to open your jewelry store."
Li Shiyun smiled without refuting. She couldn't say that she had taken all the jade into her home and had no source of income. Who would support her?
"By the way, why are the jasper ornaments here so small? There are not many large ornaments, and I almost didn't see them much. Generally speaking, I feel a little petty, as if it's something a girl collects. It's not your hobby, some..." Li Shiyun did not forget what Liu Yufei said to women before. Now, she seemed to have seized the opportunity and started joking with Liu Yufei.
Who knew that Liu Yufei didn't care at all. After hearing this, he still looked like an unspeakable person and shrugged.
Jia Sidao's heart moved. It was not that Li Shiyun didn't know what was wrong with her. She asked some simple questions that made people laugh at her?
However, to be honest, although Jia Sidao thought it looked quite elegant about this 'little Jasper' jade ornament, he was quite curious about the appearance of no large ornaments.
Perhaps seeing Jia Sidao's gaze that seemed to be asking and helping Li Shiyun to help Li Shiyun relieve her, Liu Yufei smiled and said, "Actually, there were not many jade materials at the beginning. Last time, at Uncle Zhou, I should have said that it was after Qianlong pacified the Hui tribe, that there were large jade materials in the Qing palace. Even so, there were not many large jade carvings in the palace at that time. They were very valued."
Speaking of this, Liu Yufei also looked at Li Shiyun's expression specifically.
However, Li Shiyun didn't care about Liu Yufei's eyes, but she a little angry with Jia Sidao and asked: "Did you have the same idea as me at the beginning, but you just refused to ask? Then she deliberately waited for me to ask, it's good that I'm making a fool of myself?"
When Jia Sidao heard this, he could only smile bitterly without saying a word.
"I knew it was like this." Li Shiyun wrinkled her nose angrily, hummed lightly, and then said in Jia Sidao's ear in a very calm voice: "I think you men have more minds."
Although it was Jia Sidao, Liu Yufei seemed to be talking about him. The atmosphere between the three of them felt a little open for a moment.
"Haha, to speak of this, there is such a story about jade materials." Liu Yufei said with a smile, "Oh, it should be recorded in history books. What happened is that, once a prince of Qianlong accidentally broke a jade plate hidden in the inner court, which was so big."
While talking, Liu Yufei gestured at the size of the plate, which was slightly larger than ordinary household dishes. "Then, he squatted over there, very nervous, thinking about what to do?"
"Wait, you say that a prince will break a jasper plate and you will be so nervous that you don't know what to do?" Li Shiyun asked after hearing this.
"Haha, don't say anything about this, there is really such a possibility. Prince, it sounds very noble. However, it depends on what kind of prince is. The things in the palace are far more complicated than ordinary people." Jia Sidao explained. If you look at antiques, you will sometimes learn a little about some of the strange stories in the palace.
On this side, Li Shiyun held back her curiosity and stopped asking questions. Liu Yufei also began to talk: "Actually, Miss Li asked very well. The identity of this prince broke a plate, and there was nothing to be nervous about. However, Qianlong liked that plate very much, so the prince was scared. Qianlong's love showed that such a plate was very rare at that time.
So, another prince, one of his brothers, told him, go find Lord He and He Shen. He might be able to find him. The prince naturally went to find Lord He. Then, when Lord He started, he pushed him to stop him. Finally, the brother of the prince who smashed the plate also came to beg him. At this time, He Shen said, "Okay, come to my house tomorrow." He took one of the ones collected from his home, which was larger and larger than the one he smashed. Moreover, the jade quality was even better. The prince happily took this from He and made up for that.
So, don’t look at the large carvings of jade, they are precious.”
"I think this story shows that Heshen and Lord at that time were even richer than the emperor." Li Shiyun said.
Otherwise, how could there be a better plate in the Qing Palace that Qianlong liked and Heshen’s house?
After Jia Sidao thought about it, he felt that Li Shiyun's words were really correct.
"Hey, there is also a jasper plate here." Li Shiyun's eyes accidentally saw a plate placed in the lattice under a glass pier. She couldn't help but come over and looked it carefully. Because it was found in Liu Yufei's collection room, the material was jasper, so there should be no suspense. There were broken marks on it. Li Shiyun turned around and said a ridiculous thing to Liu Yufei and the others: "This shouldn't be the jasper plate broken by the prince, right?"
