In addition, there is another box that is flat and has no traces of carving.That box is not a very good thing, but there is a dazzling halo in that box, and the whole halo goes straight to it, forming the momentum of playing dragons and phoenixes, hovering above the box, and you can faintly see it. A cloud swayed.

It was the first time Xu You saw such a halo, it was so beautiful, and Xu Wei was shocked.

The light is dazzling, but if you look closely, you will feel comfortable in your eyes. Xu Wei doesn't know what's inside, but he can be sure that there is a big treasure inside.

Although Xu You saw the box at first sight, he picked up the box without being the first one.

Xu Wei has seen it from the memory of his great-grandfather, and also heard from a few older regular customers on Dongtai Road that at this time, you must never look at the things you are most optimistic about first, and treat the best as your favorite. It is the most common, treat it slowly and casually, otherwise, it is likely that you will miss the baby.

Xu You opened the box and saw several pieces of jade products inside. Although there was a faint soft light, none of them were what he wanted to see.If the things in the box are invisible to the naked eye, then there is only one explanation, that there is something wrong with the box.

Xu You once again carefully observed this ordinary wooden box.

The wood should be pine wood. Judging from the exposed annual rings, it should be more than a hundred years old. It is well preserved. There are some grease stains on the outside. It seems that it was improperly preserved for a while.

The outer side of the box is about [-] centimeters high. The rectangular box looks a bit heavy. If you look closely, you will find that the inner space of the box is not large, only half the size of the outer side.

Mezzanine?

Xu You remained calm, and began to observe the jade carvings in the box.

From a tactile point of view, it is really enjoyable.

Due to the relationship between Xu Er's eyes, Xu Er's fingers are very flexible and sensitive, and he is very sensitive to the touch of things. As long as it is not a machine product, Xu Er can generally distinguish the material by touching.

Sheep fat jade, the kind of description I didn't want to write in my notes is here. This kind of round and gentle, delicate as fat, but not annoying, really makes people very enjoyable.

Xu Wei had never come into contact with real suet jade before, but there was one in a jade shop on Dongtai Road, but it was the owner's personal accessory, so he refused to show it easily.Xu You only saw it once from a distance, and at that time, he could only see the warm and soft halo, but now, Xu You actually holds a piece of real suet jade in his hand.

A very special feeling flowed in Xu You's blood vessels, and the suet jade seemed to have a soul, and the halo swayed, blending traces of the halo into Xu You's body.

There are too many strange events today. First, I saw a strange halo, and then the halo actually merged into my body.

"Brother, what's the matter, these are jades, can they be sold for money?" I have to say that Wu Pan is a very unpleasant person. At this time, all he thinks about is money.

But Xu Wei didn't think there was anything bad about it. After all, he wasn't in this line of work, so it didn't feel normal.

"Let's put it this way, the value of jade is generally reflected in the jade material, carving process, and age. Of course, the value of the jade that has been played is different from that that has not been played.

In terms of jade materials, this box is full of Hetian jade jade materials. Hetian jade is a kind of precious jade material that our ancestors have clearly recorded in historical records since the Western Han Dynasty.

Moreover, there are many records of Hetian jade in historical books. "The Biography of Mu Tianzi" records that King Mu of Zhou visited Kunlun, and once "attacked his jade, took three jade plates, and carried ten thousand pieces of jade" and returned.Although this description is a bit like the current tabloid rumors, it can be seen that people have known that Kunlun Mountain is a place rich in jade a long time ago.There are more and more records of Hetian jade in the history of later generations, and the Hetian jade appears to be more real.Therefore, among nephrite jade, Hetian jade is the most authentic. Others, such as Taiwan, Russia jade, and Burmese jade, are worth less than one layer or two.

Look at the piece in my hand again, the color is white with blue, delicate, moist, slightly transparent, like suet, which is the top grade of Hetian jade, the characteristics of suet jade.

In terms of craftsmanship, during the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, jade making has become a profession, and jade wares have become ceremonial utensils and decorative accessories. At that time, jade wares were mostly used as sacrificial offerings, keepsakes or status symbols.

In the Han and Tang Dynasties, due to the upgrading of technology and the prosperity of social economy and culture, jade became a kind of decoration, not something that only a small group of people could wear.

During the Song and Yuan dynasties, the use of jade wares developed by leaps and bounds, and even specialized jade courts appeared to make jade wares.

In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the carving and use of jade reached its peak, and many national treasures emerged.

In terms of age, it is divided into high ancient jade, middle ancient jade, and Ming and Qing jade.

These pieces of jade are exquisitely carved, realistic in shape, with smooth curves and a touch of extravagance. They should be in the style of the mid-Song Dynasty.

I think these small jade carvings in the form of small animals should be used by wealthy families in ancient times as gifts for their children.But to be able to use mutton fat jade as a meeting gift, that family is extremely rich and powerful. "

Xu You gave an eloquent introduction, and felt that he had connected the things he had learned from reading books with reality, and was very happy.

However, the focus of the audience's attention was obviously different from what Xu Wei wanted to express.

"You mean it's carved from a very precious jade, and it's well carved, and it's something used by ancient people?" Wu Pan asked after recalling what Xu Er said in detail.

"Yes, it is."

"Then, is it worth a lot?"

"It's very valuable, and it can let you buy a house, but I suggest you don't sell it all, this thing still has a lot of room for appreciation." The space for appreciation is also a new term that Xu You learned, and this time it happens to be sold now.

"Okay, then I won't sell it and keep it as a family heirloom." Wu Pan thought for a while and thought it was a good idea.

Aunt Wu also nodded when she heard Xu Wei's words, and she agreed very much, "Xiaoer's words are good, if I say that I can buy a house, I will do it, and I will keep everything else. In the future, my children and grandchildren may meet What's the matter?"

Xu You also recognized some of the other things at random, most of them were ornaments and handles that dignitaries loved to play with during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.After sorting it out, Xu Wei gave an estimate, about [-] yuan.

After reading all the items on the table, Wu Pan wanted to put away the jade and lacquer boxes.I saw Xu You looking at the wooden box containing the jade articles very reluctantly.

Wu Pan opened the wooden box and took out a jade article in the shape of a small bat. He was about to give it to Xu Wei, but Xu Wei quickly refused.

"Brother Fat, don't get me wrong. I just think this box is pretty good. It should have been made by someone before. I want to carve reliefs on it, but I don't know why it hasn't been finished. I just feel a little pity for the material."

"Then take the box away, brother, don't refuse, I also know the market, if I invite you to see the price of something, it will cost you hard work. Brother, I have no money now, so I will give it to you first A wooden box, when you have money in the future, my brother will give you a red envelope." Wu Pan poured out all the jade wares in a grand manner, and stuffed the wooden box into Xu Er's hand.

When Xu You got home and sat on the bed, her head was still dizzy.

That's it?You don't even need to buy it, you can get it without spending a penny?

Xu You pinched herself as if sleepwalking, hiss~, it hurts so much, it's not a dream, it's so good, hahahaha.

Xu Er was laughing happily in the room by himself, Chen Zhibei was not at home, otherwise he would definitely have been prescribed a decoction.

Xu You took out a small carving knife from the drawer, and carefully pried it open along the gap of the wooden box, but without success.

Xu You turned the wooden box over again, carefully felt the edge with his hands, and found a very thin gap.

Xu You's eyes lit up, and he quickly followed the gap at the bottom of the box and gently pried it open with a carving knife. It took a long time to succeed.

The whole wooden bottom was removed, and there was something wrapped in white silk cloth in the interlayer and bound to the bottom of the box by a gold thread.

Xu You carefully removed the gold thread, took the silk cloth in his hand, and opened it carefully.

A pair of mutton fat jade dragon and phoenix cards appeared in Xu Wei's hands.

The entire jade tablet is carved smoothly, surrounded by hollow carved auspicious clouds, and in the middle is a pair of dragons and phoenixes looking at each other, which is very similar to the strange halo I saw.

Have your eyes improved?

No, Xu You didn't feel that his eyes had become stronger, so it could only be that this pair of jade plaques were very precious treasures, more precious than all the antiques Xu You had seen so far.

Xu Wei looked carefully at the pair of jade tablets, and unexpectedly saw the word 'Zi Gang', two ethereal and handsome characters on the side wall where the pair of cards intersected.

Zigangyu, the work of Lu Zigang, a master of jade carving in the Ming Dynasty, is exquisitely carved, the knife technique has been lost, and is rare in the world.

Xu You felt that her breathing was about to stop, and she was afraid of blowing these two words away.

Putting the pair of jade plaques on the table carefully, Xu You looked at them devoutly. The moist color was so beautiful that Xu Yi couldn't bear to be profane.

Jade is really beautiful, just like a beautiful character, it is awe-inspiring.

Xu Wei had never understood why the ancients felt that this white stone had any virtues, except that the amount was less, it was really nothing special.

But now, Xu You knows that sometimes, it is a kind of vague induction, which can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

Maybe, jade really can be psychic. Thinking of what happened at Wu Pan's house during the day, Xu Wei carefully stretched out her hand and stroked the engraved phoenix jade plaque.

The phoenix floating on the jade tablet actually landed in his hand, and then, as if there was something in Xu Wei's hand, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, which startled Xu Wei, but his heart was full of infinity. happy.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Xu Wei felt that the soreness in his hands from carving the wood blocks yesterday had disappeared.

This is really miraculous, Xu Wei sighed while playing with the jade token.

In a few days, it will be Brother Bei Zi's birthday. Originally, Xu Er was thinking of giving something, but now that he has Zi Gangyu, one for each person, wouldn't it be great?
