Seeing him coming down with large and small bags, Lei Jun also said: "I thought you guys had arrived at my house early. When I came back just now, Xinyi said that I lied to her and said I didn't see Sister Mengmeng."
"Uncle Lei, am I here?" Mengmeng popped out.
Zhang Tong looked at her and felt that he liked her very much, but he didn't see Cheng Xiaolin and Cao Yirui, and asked Mengmeng: "Mengmeng, why are your mother and brother not here?"
"Auntie, my brother is sick, and my mother is taking care of him at home." Mengmeng said calmly.
Her eyes had already glanced towards Lei Xinyi, and she saw Lei Xinyi dragging out a large bag of toys from the room with great difficulty, and calling her: "Sister Mengmeng, come over and play."
"Ruirui is sick? Is it serious? Have you gone to the hospital?" Zhang Tong became anxious when she heard that her child was sick.
Cao Shujie told her that nothing was wrong and she could just take some medicine and stay at home for two days.
"The main reason is that it snowed a while ago and it was too cold. He kept running outside and refused to listen to anything he said." Cao Shujie said.
"Children are all the same, and our Xinyi is also like this. If you let her stay at home for a few hours, it will kill her." Zhang Tong looked at her daughter and Mengmeng happily getting together,
A smile appeared on his face.
"Mr. Cao, sit down." Lei Jun pointed to the sofa and said.
When he asked Cao Shujie about the purpose of coming here this time, he heard that Cao Shujie said that he was participating in the recording of the "Meet the Big Shots" column.
"Oh, you asked for a column. I also participated last year, and the host was named Shi Xiaonuo." Lei Jun knew it quite well.
Cao Shujie nodded: "It's her."
"When will we record?" Lei Jun asked him.
When Cao Shujie heard about the day after tomorrow, Lei Jun told him that he had just two days to go shopping.
"I'm still thinking of going to Rongbaozhai tomorrow and asking them to help me identify a bottle." Cao Shujie didn't hide it from Lei Jun.
Not to mention Lei Jun is so rich, even at Cao Shujie's level, a so-called "treasure" is just the icing on the cake for him.
Far less important than imagined.
"Do you have any good stuff? Take it out and take a look, and I'll give you a thumbs up." Lei Jun was very interested.
Zhang Tong originally wanted to watch the two children, but when she heard this, she also sat next to Lei Jun and refused to leave.
Cao Shujie took out the silver bottle from his bag and put it on the coffee table next to him: "It's just a broken bottle. Daha and the others picked it up when I was walking the dog on the dam. It's been several years and I haven't looked at it.
Tell me what it is."
Zhang Tong looked at it carefully for a while and said, "This is pure silver, right."
"It looks like it, wife. Look at the dragon and phoenix patterns on it. They are quite exquisite. Look at this craftsmanship. It should be something used by princes." Lei Jun said.
In the past, no one would dare to use dragon and phoenix patterns.
However, Lei Jun was also curious and asked Cao Shujie about this one?
"At that time, I asked four dogs to scour the area, but they didn't see anything else," he said.
Lei Jun nodded, this is normal.
However, he was more curious about what purpose Cao Shujie had in bringing this silver vase to Rongbaozhai for appraisal.
"Mr. Cao, Rongbaozhai does have specialized people to help with the appraisal, but they all charge a fee and the price is not low." Lei Jun told him in advance.
In the past, when he got something by chance, he would take it to Rongbaozhai to find someone to appraise it.
Cao Shujie nodded: "That's okay, I just want to know the origin of this thing."
"Hey, the past has become the dust of history. What's the use of knowing it? Besides, I don't think this kind of gold and silverware is worth much. It's not as good as how much you can make in a day."
The more Lei Jun talked, the more outrageous he said. Cao Shujie rolled his eyes at him and said, "I was thinking that if there was an allusion, it would be a good story for our transformation of barren mountains."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lei Jun complained to him: "It's a good story, but I think it's more of a lie."
"Haha!" Cao Shujie didn't care at all and burst into laughter.
Zhang Tong was also covering her mouth and laughing beside her. She also saw that Cao Shujie wanted to know whether the value of the silver vase was fake. What he wanted was a story.
"Do you have any legends or allusions there?" Lei Jun is a smart man.
He immediately thought of the key point.
Cao Shujie told Lei Jun and Zhang Tong the story he heard from his grandfather and Cao Zhenggang. After he finished speaking, Lei Jun looked at Cao Shujie and asked him: "You mean there are rumors over there that there are ancient descendants of Cao Cao on the mountain.
tomb?"
"Almost, but I don't believe it." Cao Shujie shook his head.
This legend has been circulating for a year or two. If there really was an ancient tomb, it would have been cleaned out long ago.
Lei Jun didn't care whether he believed it or not, but he mentioned one point: "Mr. Cao, if according to your statement, your surname is Cao, then does your village have any relationship with the Cao family of the Three Kingdoms?"
"You are a branch of the Cao family?" Lei Jun almost believed it himself.
Cao Shujie rolled his eyes: "Goodbye, our family has a genealogy and has nothing to do with the Cao family of the Three Kingdoms."
Zhang Tong was too lazy to listen to them and went to look at the children. The two little girls were having fun and the floor was filled with various toys.
She didn't care about them anymore and went to the kitchen to cook.
After Zhang Tong and the nanny at home prepared the meal together, she called her husband and Cao Shujie to come over for dinner.
Mengmeng and Lei Xinyi were obsessed with playing and didn't want to eat yet, but Zhang Tong finally forced them over one by one.
"If you don't eat anymore, neither of you can play with toys." Zhang Tong deliberately made a serious face.
Lei Xinyi hummed and said: "Mom, after I finish eating, can I go out to play with Sister Mengmeng again?"
"Where else do you want to play in such a cold weather?" Zhang Tong asked her.
Lei Xinyi pointed down: "I want to watch cartoons."
Lei Jun decorated the basement below to create a home theater, and the effect was great. Lei Xinyi likes to watch cartoons in it.
"Okay, you guys eat quickly." Zhang Tong agreed.
…
The next day, Cao Shujie took the silver bottle to Rongbaozhai. After explaining his business needs to the people here, a staff member brought over an old gentleman.
Their internal system showed that Cao Shujie had spent money with them, and it was not low, so they knew he was an honored guest.
The old man also introduced himself as Ma Wanshi, who specializes in the appraisal of gold and silverware.
After Cao Shujie handed the silver vase to him, Ma Wanshi looked at it carefully, recorded the information while reading it, and finally checked some information.
He told Cao Shujie: "The shape of this silver vase dates from the Three Kingdoms period. At that time, there were wars and medical treatment was not developed, and the ability to prevent and treat various diseases was very low. However, some people found that silver was used to treat the affected area, and the recovery speed of the wound was very fast.
It will be 5 times faster than the normal method."
"Explained by modern scientific research, as long as one liter of water contains one ten thousandth of a gram of silver ions, it can kill bacteria in the water."
"So in ancient times, there were still people who used silverware to preserve water or food, which would have a certain effect in delaying corruption."
Ma Wanshi was indeed a professional. He told Cao Shujie bit by bit these unpopular knowledge, and Cao Shujie also listened very carefully.
"Teacher Ma, in your opinion, can we see specific information about this silver vase, such as who it is for?" Cao Shujie asked curiously.
But Ma Wanshi also shook his head. The silver bottle gave very little information.
When he asked Cao Shujie where he got the silver vase and if he had heard of other allusions, Cao Shujie generously told his experience of picking up the silver vase and the legends there.
"That being said, it's quite right." Ma Wanshi muttered.
But Ma Wanshi was not sure. There were no other marks on the silver vase, so it was difficult to judge its relationship with Cao Cao's descendants.
"Teacher Ma, how much can this silver vase be sold for?" Cao Shujie asked.
Ma Wanshi said: "If Mr. Cao wants to sell it, we at Rongbaozhai will accept it or sell it on consignment..."
Before he finished speaking, Cao Shujie waved his hand and said that he would not sell it. He was not short of the money and just wanted to know its price.
"It's really hard to say. It mainly depends on whether the market recognizes it or not."
As he spoke, Ma Wanshi weighed the silver vase again. He smiled and said, "Even if we sell it at the price of silver bars, it is close to 6 yuan per gram. This silver vase costs two kilograms."
Calculated purely based on its weight, this bottle is worth more than 10,000 yuan, but if it is really a silver bottle that has been handed down from the Three Kingdoms period, it is hard to say how much it would cost just adding the historical value and other values.
Ma Wanshi finally told Cao Shujie that it would be more than 200,000. The final transaction price mainly depends on the customer's preference.
This is reliable.
But it was only more than 200,000 yuan, which was not as much as the money he made in a day in the park. He put the bottle into his bag without caring and paid the appraisal fee according to the rules.
In the afternoon, he went to the mall to buy some New Year gifts.
As for Mengmeng, she had forgotten about him as her father when she was playing with Xiao Xinyi at Lei Jun's house. Cao Shujie was not worried about his daughter at the moment.
By the time Cao Shujie finished his work and returned to Lei Jun's villa with packages one by one, it was almost getting dark.
Lei Jun was a little surprised when he saw Cao Shujie's various trophies: "I thought only women liked shopping, but I didn't expect Mr. Cao's shopping to be more terrifying than women."
"It's not the Chinese New Year soon. I bought it for my family." Cao Shujie retorted.
Then he took out two handbags, one with the trademark of IWC and the other with the trademark of Rolex, and handed them to Lei Jun and Zhang Tong: "The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and I don't have anything to give you. I happened to go to the mall just now, and I saw
These two watches are good and suitable for you to wear."
"Mr. Cao, this is too expensive." It's not like Lei Jun doesn't know what to buy. He knew at a glance that he couldn't get it if it was less than six figures.
"If you put it like that, if I call you shamelessly and ask you to sell me a mobile phone at a cheaper price, wouldn't I also take advantage of it?" Cao Shujie said.
Lei Jun did give him a big discount on Xiaomi NOTE2, with a discounted price of several million, and he bought two high-end watches as a gift, which he felt was light. ()
