"I understand, Brother Song, for this Pingzhou Stone Gambling Conference, I will spend at most five million to try my hand. I won't invest all the funds..."
Zhuang Rui still appreciates Song Jun's advice. If others don't really do it for your own good, there is no point in saying those things that offend others.
"Okay, you just have to know what you're doing. It's late. Go to bed. I'll call you early tomorrow morning and take you to see the ghost market." Song Jun called the waiter to come over and pay for the order, and said to Zhuang Rui with a proud look on his face.
said.
"Haha, Brother Song, I have been there a long time ago, and I have gained a little bit..."
Zhuang Rui told Song Jun that he had found a set of Ru kiln porcelain fragments in the ghost market. After the item was repaired, he would sell it, so he was not afraid of others knowing.
"You...you mean, you found a complete piece of Ru kiln porcelain?!"
Song Jun's body, which had just stood up, fell back down after Zhuang Rui's words, with an expression of disbelief on his face. After receiving Zhuang Rui's affirmative reply, he shook his head repeatedly and said, "I didn't say what I just said.
Just bet as much money as you have, grandma, you are so lucky."
On the way to the elevator, Song Jun's eyes were fixed on Zhuang Rui's left wrist, and he was still mumbling that he would go to Tibet once when he had time, and he would definitely get such a treasure blessed by a living Buddha.
In his opinion, Zhuang Rui's good luck was undoubtedly brought by this string of old Dzi beads.
…
Maybe he was stimulated by Zhuang Rui's good luck. The next day, when Zhuang Rui was asleep, he was woken up by a phone call from Song Jun. He asked Zhuang Rui to go to the ghost market and check the time.
It had just arrived at three o'clock, but Zhuang Rui got up and washed up, and took White Lion to the hotel door to meet Song Jun.
This time Song Jun did not take Master Peng with him, but was on his own. Regarding antiques, his professional knowledge was obviously better than Master Peng's.
There is only one street lamp more than ten meters away on Jade Street, and it is an energy-saving lamp. After twelve o'clock, the light is very dark. Song Jun and Zhuang Rui came early. At this time, they were on both sides of Jade Street.
, someone has already set up a stall, and someone else has just arrived and is spreading a stall on the ground.
Since the Pingzhou Stone Gambling Convention will officially open tomorrow, this ghost market will also be the last day. People who are interested in hunting for treasures will get up earlier. Those who will walk on the Jade Street to visit the ghost market will be better than setting up stalls.
There are more.
What made Song Jun a little depressed was that the powerful flashlight he brought attracted a lot of scolding as soon as he turned it on, but the small flashlight held by Zhuang Rui was ignored. Seeing such a scene, Zhuang Rui handed the flashlight to
Song Jun, for him, those antiques with aura are like fireflies in the night. As long as they exist, they cannot escape his eyes. There is no difference between day and night.
"Brother, let's look at it separately. If you have any questions, call me."
The Jade Street is more than 2,000 meters long. Although there are not many people who can set up stalls, there are still forty or fifty stalls. Song Jun then separated from Zhuang Rui and wandered around alone.
Without a flashlight, getting started in this dim light will not add much experience. Zhuang Rui is too lazy to look at each item. He simply releases the aura in his eyes every time he goes to a stall and wraps up all the items in the stall.
, in this way, as long as there are antiques in these objects, basically they cannot escape his eyes.
What makes Zhuang Rui a little depressed is that even after looking at four or five stalls, he didn't find anything valuable. Occasionally, there were one or two objects that contained thin spiritual energy. Zhuang Rui picked them up and looked at them, but they were all from the late Qing Dynasty.
Porcelain fired in private kilns is not worth much, and the stall owner also knows its value. The price he casually offered was higher than what the auction house ranked. Zhuang Rui didn't even bother to pay back the price and went directly to the next one.
The stall is up.
"Hey, brother, why do you see so fast?"
Zhuang Rui and Song Jun started looking at each other on both sides of the street. Less than an hour later, Zhuang Rui turned to the other side of the street and met Song Jun at a stall.
"Did you give me the flashlight and you can't see clearly? You'd better take it. Brother, my eyesight is better."
Song Jun was a little embarrassed and handed the flashlight in his hand to Zhuang Rui.
"No, Brother Song, just take it. I'm studying with the prince today."
Zhuang Rui didn't pick up the phone. He had looked at more than 20 stalls now, but he didn't see any good items. He basically gave up hope. It seemed that he wanted to get some good stuff in this ghost market, so that's it.
It depends on luck.
"Then I won't be polite."
As Song Jun spoke, he continued to observe the object he was looking at. After seven or eight minutes, Song Jun stretched out his hand to the stall owner. Because it was dark, Zhuang Rui did not see their gestures, but Song Jun took out his hand.
When it came time to pay, Zhuang Rui saw clearly that two unopened RMB knives were handed into the hands of the boss.
Zhuang Rui was surprised. If you spend 20,000 yuan to buy something in a place like this, you will either make a lot of money or suffer a heavy loss. The thing seems to be small. Song Jun held it in his hand. Zhuang Rui couldn't see it for a while.
, couldn't help but ask: "Brother Song, what did you buy?"
"Hey, brother, you are really a lucky cat. I picked up a good item as soon as you came here. Let's go, stop looking and go back to the hotel."
Song Jun looked a little excited. He pulled Zhuang Rui and was about to go back. He didn't want to look at the remaining stalls anymore. This is actually a point. After getting a good item, collectors generally don't
Keep reading, because the excitement of picking up a leak may affect the subsequent judgment.
"I said, Brother Song, I haven't finished reading this yet. Come on, don't pull me away. Why don't I go with you?"
Zhuang Rui originally wanted to see the remaining stalls, but he was dragged away by Song Jun, so he could only follow Song Jun back to the hotel honestly.
"Brother Song, what kind of treasure is it that deserves you to make such a fuss about? Brother, I haven't gained anything at all." After arriving at the hotel and sitting down, Zhuang Rui asked, with a hint of complaint in his tone. It's a ghost market today.
On the last day of the holiday, when I passed this village, there was no such shop.
"Don't worry, I want to take another look."
Song Jun's words made Zhuang Rui almost stumble. Good guy, I dare you that Boss Song bought it before he saw it clearly.
At this moment, several big lights in the hotel were also turned off, but if you turn on the powerful flashlight here, no one will naturally ask. Song Jun put the object in his heart on the coffee table in front of the sofa, then turned on the flashlight and turned on the powerful flashlight.
The light was aimed at the object.
"What the hell is this?"
What appeared in Zhuang Rui's eyes was just a thumb-sized object with a red surface, and it was stained with some soil. It was impossible to tell what it was.
"Hehe, of course it's a good thing." After looking at it for a while, Song Jun picked up the things on the coffee table and handed them to Zhuang Rui.
"Damn, is this cicada worth twenty thousand?"
Zhuang Rui took it in his hand, and after a lot of effort, he saw that it was a cicada carved from jade. The green color on it was very strong, and it was difficult to see it without distinguishing it carefully.
"You know what the heck, this is called jade cicada, and it's just a burial jade from the Han Dynasty. It's very precious..." Song Jun replied angrily.
After hearing Song Jun's words, Zhuang Rui became a little concerned and looked at it carefully. He found that the jade cicada was only three or four centimeters long and about two centimeters wide. It had a big head and eyes, and its wings were narrow and formed into a slender inverted trapezoid.
There is an almost invisible hole in the center of the jade cicada's head, presumably for threading a rope.
This jade cicada is made of good materials. Zhuang Rui looks like it is made of Xinjiang white jade, but it is all deep red. The body of the cicada is carved into a straight rhombus, with a concise and summarized image. The head, wings and abdomen are carved with thick negative lines, which is very sparse.
It's done with just a few knives. The knife technique is very concise. The wings on the back of the cicada are symmetrical, like lungs, and the overall shape is very regular.
"Brother Song, is this oral sex?"
Zhuang Rui played with the jade cicada in his hand and asked Song Jun. He knew that jade cicadas were mostly placed in the mouths of the deceased to take the meaning of resurrection and rebirth, but Zhuang Rui heard these things from elsewhere. This was the first time.
Saw it with my own eyes once.
In ancient times, jade cicadas had three uses: one was to be pinned on a hat as a high-end decoration, the other was to be hung on the body through a rope as an ornament, and the third was to be used as a funerary object, which was the biggest use of jade cicadas.
, placed in people’s mouths after they pass away.
Starting from the Hongshan Culture of the Stone Age, people have always had a deep yearning for cicadas for more than 5,000 years, which stems from our ancestors' persistence in immortality. Some experts believe that cicadas need to transform from larvae to adults, transforming and reborn.
Containing a cicada means rebirth and reincarnation.
"Yes, this is what the deceased people of "Jade Seat Nine Apertures" say... Yucheng, brother, you are really lucky today. This is the authentic Hanba Dao Yuchan. Damn it, that boy who set up the stall,
It must have been dug out of some Han Dynasty tomb." Song Jun was still very excited at this moment, and even cursed. It seemed that he was extremely satisfied with finding this object.
As the name suggests, "Jade plugs nine orifices" means that after a person dies, a piece of jade is inserted into the nine orifices of the body. This is very particular. The dead person has jade in both hands, called jade grips, and his eyes are also covered.
The jade is called jade eye, and the jade in the mouth is called jade.
As for the Han Badao mentioned by Song Jun, it is because of the jade carving technique created by the jade cicada. It specifically refers to the kind of jade carving technique used only on the back of the cicada for burial jade in the Han Dynasty. To put it more broadly,
The jade carvings with both sides of the back and abdomen can be tentatively regarded as the "Han Badao". This kind of carving has been lost since the Han Dynasty. Therefore, the real Han Badao jade cicada, regardless of its artistic value or the research on the craftsmanship at that time,
In both respects, they are extremely valuable.
When Zhuang Rui was playing with it, he had checked it with aura and found that it was indeed an object from the Han Dynasty, because it did contain aura and was dark purple in color, but the quantity was not very large. But while Zhuang Rui was playing with it,
He seemed to feel that the spiritual energy inside was slowly increasing.
This discovery made Zhuang Rui interested. If what he felt was true, it would mean that the formation of spiritual energy in these antiques was definitely related to the nourishment and manipulation of the human body.
"Brother Song, I'm just thinking about finding someone to play with interstitial discs. I'll give you this jade cicada to me. You can give me a price." Zhuang Rui didn't know if the feeling just now was his illusion.
He had wanted to find a better jade piece to play with before. This jade cicada comes in three clear colors and the quality of the jade is also good. It can barely meet Zhuang Rui's requirements.
Song Jun was stunned for a moment after hearing Zhuang Rui's words, then looked at Zhuang Rui with a half-smile and asked: "What's the matter, brother, do you like this thing?"
"What's wrong? What else can you say?" Zhuang Rui asked when he saw Song Jun's strange smile.
"There is no statement, but the price of this thing is not low."
"Hey, Brother Song, brother, I didn't say I wouldn't give you money. It's just how much it should be. If you just tell me, it won't end."
Zhuang Rui was a little puzzled, but it was just a gadget from the Han Dynasty. It was so small, but how much could it be worth.
After Song Jun heard Zhuang Rui's words, he also straightened his expression and said: "Okay, let me tell you this, just a few months ago, an old friend of mine brought back a Han Ba Dao jade from abroad.
Cicada, the appearance, quality and color of that jade cicada are far inferior to mine. He bought it for 200,000 yuan at that time. How much do you think I can sell it for?"
"Two hundred thousand? This is really not cheap..."
Zhuang Rui was shocked when he heard the price. It wasn't that he couldn't afford so much money, but because he had never spent so much on picking up leaks. He was thinking about it now, spending two hundred thousand to buy this thing to play with.
Is it worth it?
"Okay, Brother Song, that person spent 200,000, how about I pay you 300,000 for this one? If you agree, find a bank at dawn and I will transfer the money to you."
After Zhuang Rui thought for a while, he decided to buy it. Ancient jade is generally very difficult to find, not to mention that this jade cicada has three kinds of green colors. If it is plated, it will probably be worth more than 300,000 yuan.
"Hey, brother, don't worry, my friend spent 200,000 US dollars, and I don't want you 300,000 US dollars. You give me 250,000 US dollars, and you take this thing."
After Song Jun waited for Zhuang Rui to say that he wanted to buy it, he said slowly. Only then did Zhuang Rui know why Song Jun had that expression on his face just now. He dared to buy such a small gadget that was worth one-third of his net worth.
.
"Come on, Brother Song, you are just trying to make me angry. Don't provoke me. I can't afford it."
While Zhuang Rui was talking, he handed the jade cicada back to Song Jun and shouted out the price of 300,000. He gritted his teeth for a long time. This was converted into 250,000 US dollars. Zhuang Rui didn't even think about it and just gave it.
Things were returned.
Although this thing is good, Zhuang Rui also wants to find out whether the spiritual energy in this object can really be increased by playing with it, but if he is asked to spend more than 2 million for an experiment, Zhuang Rui will not do such a thing. Then again
, with these eyes, Zhuang Rui still doesn’t believe that he won’t be able to find better ancient jade in the future.
