Rebirth 81: Being forced into marriage by my sister’s best friend at the beginning

This time, Yang Guozhi was not angry, but immediately said: "Mr. Liu, you are also Chinese. Don't you know that Chinese cultural heritage is scattered all over the world, not just on this land?"

He looked at Liu Mao with a hint of contempt in his eyes.

Everyone in China knows that the invaders took away a large number of treasures from China, and during peacetime, they continued to purchase cultural relics from them.

This Liu Mao doesn't even understand the history of his own country. He is really a devil.

Liu Mao felt a little embarrassed and embarrassed after hearing Yang Guozhi's words.He quickly adjusted his attitude and said: "Of course I understand the situation of Chinese cultural relics being scattered around the world, but this is really not the case."

He looked up at Lin Ran and said seriously: "Since you know the origin of this jade, you can come and educate me about it. I want to hear whether it is the same as me investigating the origin and understanding it!"

After hearing Liu Mao's words, Yang Guozhi also looked at Lin Ran, feeling a little emotional in his heart that the master brought by Yang Jianlong had such a unique vision.

He also realized that he had indeed underestimated him before. Although Lin Ran was young, his knowledge of jewelry was even better than his, and his performance was somewhat eye-catching.

He really shouldn't have a disdainful attitude towards the master Yang Jianlong brought.

Seeing that Lin Ran was silent, Yang Guozhi coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Lin, please explain clearly what is going on."

Lin Ran nodded slightly, and there happened to be a map in the office.

Lin Ran walked to the map, drew something on it, pointed to one of the areas and said, "The origin of this jade is actually different from the loss of other Chinese cultural relics."

"Historically, it was a cultural relic that belonged to the border area, but now it is considered a part of the mainland, so what Mr. Liu said is not completely true. This is not a cultural relic brought back from overseas. According to documentary records, this piece Jade was once the tomb treasure in the ancient tomb of the King of the Territory."

"Later, it was taken away by tomb robbers, and I didn't see him until today."

Lin Ran took a deep breath and said, "The name of this jade is Dan Shi."

At the end of the Qin Dynasty, the territory was a powerful country in the northwest region, which had always been at odds with the Central Plains dynasty.

But within a year, everything changed.

The State of Qin sent envoys to the territory and attached a large number of treasures. The most precious gift was the red persimmon jade.

This was an uncharacteristically friendly gesture from the Qin Dynasty to the royal family in the territory.

The red persimmon jade was refined by a well-known jade craftsman from Chu State using almost perfect craftsmanship.

It has bright colors, smooth lines and is full of simple atmosphere.

This treasure was delivered to the king of the territory, which represented Qin's goodwill towards them and was an important token.

For the king of his realm, it was an irresistible gift.

At the same time, he knew that he was wary of Qin's strong strength, and understood that Qin's move was an attempt to improve relations between the two countries.

So he happily accepted the gift, sent envoys back to Qin, and sent a large amount of Hetian jade as a return gift.

This friendly exchange became the only good exchange between Qin and its territory. After that, the Qin Dynasty fell.

The red persimmon jade naturally became the collection of the king of Xinjiang, serving as a valuable witness of the contact between the two countries.

Over the long years, this piece of history was gradually shrouded in dust. It was not until the excavation of the tomb of the King of Xinjiang in the 90s that this piece of information was discovered.

Friendship and interoperability have always been important topics among major powers. This jade represents the best proof of the interoperability between Qin and its territory.

Lin Ran's explanation left everyone speechless.

None of the people present had read any books and had little understanding of history. After hearing Lin Ran's words, they started whispering among themselves.

Finally, they all nodded in agreement with Lin Ran.

"So there is something like this." Liu Mao was shocked and broke into a cold sweat.

In fact, he did not buy this piece of jade from abroad, but bought it from another place and made up a story about it.

I didn't expect it to be so valuable.

If it were jade from the Qin Dynasty, the price would be much higher than what he had offered before.

Instead, he thanked Lin Ran in his heart and expressed his gratitude for Lin Ran's humility in correcting him. He planned to keep the jade first.

But Yang Guozhi quit and said, "Didn't you agree to sell it to me?"

At the critical moment, Liu Mao actually said that he would not sell again, which made Yang Guozhi tremble with anger.

However, it’s hard to say what the current situation is. After all, he didn’t want to buy it at the beginning.

At this time, Liu Maocai said slowly: "This piece of jade is very old and is a precious cultural relic of China. It has a history of more than 2000 years. It cannot be disposed of casually."

Lin Ran finally figured it out. In fact, Liu Mao was not an appraisal expert at all, and his level of treasure appraisal was average.

But the fact that he was able to obtain this piece of jade shows that he is also a very powerful guy, but he is not using it in a proper way.

He must have some special means to get valuable things.

But he felt strange that even though he could obtain such a large item, he knew nothing about the origin of the treasure.

From the look on his face, it wasn't that he was pretending not to understand, but that he really didn't know.

At this time, Yang Guozhi became very interested in this piece of jade.

It doesn't matter whether it can be made into jewelry or not. Just the history of being collected by the king of Xinjiang will not worry about selling it at auction.

And this jade looks very good in appearance.

The atmosphere became awkward for a time, and Lin Ran asked with a smile: "Mr. Liu, as far as I know, this jade should be buried in the tomb of Prince Xinjiang. The tomb of Prince Xinjiang has not yet been developed. Where did you get it?" ?”

As soon as Lin Ran finished speaking, Yang Guozhi and Liu Mao's expressions darkened at the same time.

Liu Mao secretly thought that it was not good. Now his situation was very delicate. If he said it was a fake, it would be fine. At most, he would be scolded by Yang Guo and would not do business in the future.

But if it is genuine, wouldn't he be convicted of tomb robbing?

He was now certain that Lin Ran was setting a trap for himself.

Thinking of this, Liu Mao suddenly panicked in his heart, and he couldn't control it on the surface. He quickly said: "Mr. Lin, are you mistaken? There are thousands of jade stones in the world, and it is normal for them to look alike, isn't it? ?”

"I hope so." Lin Ran chuckled in a low voice, and the smile at the corner of his mouth made Liu Mao feel frightened.Lin Ran cleared his throat and told them the story of Dan Shiyu.

As soon as the story was finished, there were exclamations all around.

Even the people Liu Mao brought were whispering behind his back.

At this time, they already understood that this was not only a jade from the Qin Dynasty, but also had a great origin!

Although they don’t understand history, they are not fools!

Even if it is just a rumor, it is worth it to collectors!

This jade is so cheap!
