Home of Rebirth

Feng Wang, as a returned overseas Chinese who returned to China to invest in construction, has obviously become a well-known figure in the city in the past two years, so this time - send the exhibition to the countryside - the museum exhibition event, the leaders of the city bureau specially invited him to speak on stage, and gave back After buying two tickets for the exhibition, Feng Wang took a look at it, and asked Xia Lao San to take it home, and let Xia Yue and Meng Huaiyuan go to play on Saturday.

Feng Wang likes Xia Yue from the bottom of his heart, and this person is also meticulous in his life. He asked people to wait at the entrance of the exhibition early in the morning. After seeing Xia Yue and Meng Huaiyuan, he took them to the place where there were exhibits, otherwise There are people queuing up outside, not to mention the big sun, the crowds are really suffering.

There is nothing in the museum exhibition here. There are a few precious photos and objects from the Anti-Japanese period. You can go in and walk around for 10 minutes to see everything. The street is full of small stalls, some selling trinkets and some selling snacks, and because of the name of sending them to the countryside, more people buy some antique imitation antique ornaments, there is a wide variety of everything.

Xia Yue sat next to Meng Huaiyuan, listened to the speeches of the two leaders, and almost fell asleep. In the end, it was really boring, so he quietly said to Meng Huaiyuan next to him: "Brother... I will go out for a while to refresh myself. just come back"

Meng Huaiyuan turned to look at him, grabbed his hand instinctively, and wanted to go with him, but after thinking about it, he let go, nodded and said, "Be careful, don't run around."

At the end, I added a sentence: "Come back early, I will wait for you here"

"understood"

Xia Yue nodded in agreement, and then cautiously backed out of the exhibition hall.

There are quite a lot of people outside, especially next to the antique calligraphy and painting booth, there are many old men with glasses carefully picking and buying.

Xia Yue stretched his neck to take a look, but he didn't see any way out. He turned and went to the food stall next to him, bought two grilled sausages, and was just about to turn around and go back to the exhibition hall to look for Meng Huaiyuan, when his eyes were suddenly met by a very inconspicuous young man opposite him. A white jade Guanyin statue on the stand is attractive.

It is a Guanyin statue carved from a whole piece of white jade. Yellow, extremely beautiful and moist, it seems to have accumulated for hundreds of years, the solemn and solemn Guanyin master stands on the lotus platform, the treasure elephant is solemn, the eyes are slightly drooping, and the brows are compassionate.

Xia Yue threw the sausage in his hand, walked to the stall with almost trembling legs, squatted down slowly, and looked carefully at the enamel painted gold and white jade Guanyin statue.

If he remembers correctly, this is a court craft during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The jade carving technique is of the northern school, and it vividly displays the calm and serene demeanor of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

Xia Yue went to several auctions with Meng Huaiyuan in his previous life, and he had seen this statue of Guanyin. At that time, the conservative estimate of this statue of Guanyin was already hundreds of millions. It is said that it was bought by a mysterious seller, and it has never been seen since then.

Such a sky-high priced antique with historical deposits and aura will appear in this small and unremarkable northern city?

Could it be fake?

The narrator of the auction in the previous life once said that after hundreds of years of turbulence, there was a gap in the lotus base of this enamel painted white jade Guanyin statue, which is also a proof of witnessing history.

Xia Yue reached out and lifted the Guanyin statue carefully, and then looked at the bottom of the lotus seat. Sure enough, there was a crescent-shaped gap, exactly the same as the one he had seen in his previous life.

If it is a counterfeit, will the gap be made?

Probably not, this is not a cultural relic with a historical name, if it is an imitation sold to a small vendor, it should not be so detailed, and just looking at the natural nature of this white jade, and the exquisite craftsmanship that cannot be copied, Xia Yue will not Believe it is a fake.

Just as he was looking carefully, the stall owner squatted in front of him and said, "I just received this today. I heard that it didn't take long to come out of the ground."

At this time, Xia Yue's mind was not very clear, he just held the sky-high priced white jade Guanyin statue, and looked up at the stall owner in a daze.

The stall owner was a middle-aged man, but his hair was a little gray, and he looked like a shrewd philistine. Seeing Xia Yue's stupid appearance at such a young age, he thought he didn't understand, so he explained: "I just came from the tomb. dug it out!"

"Really...really?" Xia Yue swallowed, glanced at him, and then began to look down at the Guanyin statue carefully.

"Why not?" The middle-aged man glared and said, "Just three people came here, and they looked like ordinary people in their outfits. They said that the Avalokitesvara statue should stay here, and it will definitely come by fate. People, if you really like it, then you will become a destined person."

Xia Yue nodded indiscriminately, gently lifted the dust off the white jade with his fingers, then raised his head and asked, "How much is this?"

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and looked at him. He seemed to feel that a child didn't have much money, and he was hesitant. He didn't open for a day today, and he looked like he wanted to buy a child. I'm going to run away.

So I thought for a while and said: "This is a good thing, and it costs 1000 yuan anyway."

In Xia Yue's eyes, 1000 yuan is actually not much, but it is not a small amount in this era.

"I didn't bring that much money, so you can make it cheaper." Xia Yue only had 600 yuan in his pocket, and he planned to go to the street to buy winter clothes for Meng Huaiyuan later.

"The minimum is [-], it can't be cheaper anymore"

"Six hundred!" Xia Yue took out all the 600 yuan from his pocket, put it in front of the stall owner, and said, "That's all I have, I'll give it all to you!"

The middle-aged man looked at the six hundred-yuan banknotes with the heads of the four great men on them, and then at the Avalokitesvara statue in Xia Yue's arms. When he received it just now, he only spent 100 yuan, but now he earned [-] yuan by changing hands. , if he missed it, he was afraid that he would never meet a buyer again, so he thought about it and took the money: "Okay, six hundred is six hundred."

In this way, Xia Yue wrapped a sky-high priced white jade Guanyin in a cloth bag for 600 yuan and took it away. Even though he had seen the world with Meng Huaiyuan in his previous life, even though he had seen life and death, now he is a little stunned. She just hugged her tightly in her arms, for fear that someone would snatch her away.

In a trance, he almost bumped into someone.

"Hey, be careful"

The man kindly gave him a hand.

"Oh, thank you...thank you" Xia Yue stood firm and hurriedly raised his head to thank him.

"It's okay, be careful"

It was a slender, fair-looking and frail young man with a Suhang soft accent. He glanced at the white jade Guanyin in Xia Yue's arms, and suddenly smiled with deep meaning, which was very friendly.

At this time, a well-proportioned man with an expressionless face came over, glanced at the young man, his eyes were as indifferent as water, and said coldly: "Let's go."

"kindness"

The young man smiled and agreed, then nodded to Xia Yue, then turned around and followed the man, and after a while a fat man ran over from behind, carrying an exaggeratedly large schoolbag, and ran past Xia Yue screaming, cursing He quickly caught up with those two people: "You two will meet me, Fat Lord!!!"

Xia Yue followed the three people until they gradually drifted away and finally disappeared among the crowd.
