"Three-legged golden toad." Zixia was slightly surprised and said.
"Don't panic, I'll move it out first and take a look." Gao Shaoyu walked over very eagerly, took the three-legged golden toad out of the pile of debris, flattened it and blew away the dust on it, revealing its entire shape.
"This doesn't seem to be good. The outer surface is made of stone, and the beads in her mouth are broken." Zixia knelt down and took a closer look, and finally said seriously.
Gao Shaoyu frowned and said, he clearly felt something unusual, and there was a heavy feeling in his heart. Logically speaking, it would never be like this, but how such a change happened was really puzzling. I'm afraid it was definitely not the case.
"Hey, a three-legged golden toad." The shiny and bald boss Sun said in surprise. He also squatted down to take a look and finally sighed: "It has both form and spirit. Although the bead is broken, the charm of the whole golden toad is still alive. It's just that
It's a pity that one of the three legs is a little cracked. The three legs are standing in a tripod. If one leg is broken, this is a sign of unstable wealth."
"Yes, the three-legged golden toad is an auspicious thing that welcomes wealth. If one of its legs is broken, the good omen will be broken invisibly. For those who love it, it will naturally be a fly in the ointment." Zixia nodded.
"The little girl is right." Boss Sun said with a smile.
"What a charming three-legged golden toad. Hey, why is there a crack on the back? It's a pity, it's a pity. Otherwise, although the feet are cracked, if you repair them, you can still sell them for thirty or twenty thousand, but on the back
But it is difficult to repair." Boss Sun, who was like a Confucian scholar, suddenly said with regret.
"Golden toad holds beads or is called golden toad spitting beads. Ornaments in this form are still very common, representing wealth and good luck. Nowadays, businessmen are very fond of this thing, and this kind of thing was also quite popular in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Especially in some scholarly families, they are very popular things."
"What treasure did Xiao Gao find?" Zheng Taihua came over and said with a smile. Xiao Gao had won a lot of honors for him that day, and he naturally valued Gao Shaoyu more.
"Manager Zheng, it's this three-legged golden toad." Gao Shaoyu pointed to the underground thing under his feet.
"The three-legged golden toad, if it is intact, is worth a lot of money." Zheng Taihua glanced at Boss Sun and Boss Liu, who were sighing, and knew that this thing might have major flaws, but he still knelt down and took a closer look.
In the end, my face showed regret, and I said a few words of regret.
"The stone on the surface of the golden toad is Tianhuang stone, but it is a good stone skin. The whole body is black and yellow in color, which is similar to the Tianhuang stone outside. However, it is difficult to judge where the three-legged golden toad came from. But from the stone skin in front of you
From the looks of it, it should be a new thing in the past few decades. Unfortunately, the carving in front of me is still very clever. The stone skin is meticulous and quite good. If it weren't for those obvious flaws, I'm afraid that even though the golden toad is not an ancient object,
It can be worth tens of thousands of yuan, after all, the carving is also a big selling point." Zheng Taihua explained more carefully than the two of them, and also deliberately taught Gao Shaoyu.
Gao Shaoyu listened carefully. He was no stranger to the three-legged golden toad in his heart. He had accumulated a lot of knowledge these days. In Taoism, the three-legged toad is called "toad". Legend has it that it can spit money and is a thing that brings wealth.
In ancient times, people with bangs practiced Taoism and used tricks to subdue golden toads to become immortals. Later, the legend of "playing with golden toads with bangs and fishing for money step by step" spread among the people. In real life, there are also related decorations, and many of them are seen. This is a sign of wealth.
a symbol of.
"Do you know why I spit out beads?" Bai Lao suddenly came over and said with a smile.
Zheng Taihua and others laughed but said nothing, knowing deep down in their hearts.
"Didn't he spit out beads from the beginning?" Zixia asked puzzledly.
"Yes, but do you know what it means?" Bai Lao nodded and said with a smile.
Gao Shaoyu scratched his head, he had the ability to identify antiques, but he was stunned when he asked about the origin of this three-legged golden toad, and he was a little dazed.
"Think about what form it is." Bai Lao pointed at the bead and further prompted.
"Round?" Zixia blurted out instinctively.
"Number one scholar?" Gao Shaoyu's eyes lit up, and he understood everything in an instant. The golden toad spit out pearls, which had a profound meaning. It was a sign of good luck and auspicious, and it meant the number one scholar.
"Well, it's a three-legged golden toad. Legend has it that there is a three-legged toad in the Moon Palace in the sky, so the ancients also called the Moon Palace the Toad Palace. This is why the saying "Winners in the Toad Palace" is a metaphor that the owner can be admitted to the Jinshi." Bai Lao said with a smile.
: "And the beads represent the number one scholar. Toad palace wins the title and is the first scholar. Jin Chan holds the round bead in his mouth because he wants to win the title of first scholar and the first scholar on the basis of being the first scholar."
Gao Shaoyu and Zixia both nodded. They didn't expect that a small antique could have so much meaning. It was like listening to a story. It made people's eyes brighten and marveled at how much more they had to learn.
It’s a lot and requires more accumulation.
"But it's such a pity." Zixia also felt a pity for a while.
"Nothing, I just thought this three-legged golden toad looked pretty good, so I took it out and looked at it. I didn't expect it to be a broken product, but it still has some value." Gao Shaoyu said with a smile, but he didn't agree in his heart, secretly.
He was stroking the three-legged golden toad.
Suddenly Gao Shaoyu gritted his teeth, and his intuition told him that this three-legged golden toad was not that simple. There must be something else inside. Since the value in front of him was not great, he exerted a slight force on his hand and suddenly peeled off a corner.
There was a click.
Suddenly the entire three-legged golden toad was like charred soil, and for a moment it was like a chain reaction. It cracked open, as if it had shrunk by one size, but a small golden toad actually appeared inside.
"There is such a treasure, I didn't know about it." Mr. Bai was also slightly surprised, with a look of shock on his face. He pushed his son away, squatted down and carefully opened the Tian Huangshi on the outside, and slowly took it out from inside.
I got a small three-legged golden toad.
The golden toad in front of us is lifelike, as if it is alive. Everyone seems to be able to faintly hear the screams of the toad. It is very magical and exquisite, especially the lines on the back. After looking carefully, we realize that they are not artificial.
It is carved and completely natural petrification, so people don’t know that it is a real toad. After death, through chance, the movement of the earth’s crust, the eruption of earthquakes and volcanoes and other natural reasons, it was finally imprinted into this Huanglong Jade, or the sky.
The ingenuity of workmanship and the ability of God to create everything in front of us were created.
"As expected." Gao Shaoyu's eyes also lit up, and he was secretly happy in his heart. It seemed that his perception was good.
From the moment this three-legged golden toad appeared, a surge of energy seemed to flow into his body, which actually made him clearly feel the connection with the soul absorber deeper, as if it had merged into the soul absorber.
