Appreciation of treasures

Chapter 63 Something Happened!
The housekeeper ignored Mr. Su, went straight to Su Qiming's side, and whispered in his ear for a while.

Su Qiming's expression changed suddenly. Seeing his sad face, Su Cen pulled Grandpa's sleeve and asked what happened.

"I'm afraid there is something wrong with our auction house, and the Su family will suffer some turmoil."

Hearing Su Qiming's words, the couple on the sofa were not calm anymore. The Su family can be considered a famous family.

Those who dare to openly oppose the Su family are probably not good people. It must be a big deal to make Su Qiming, who has been in the battle, so flustered.

"Dad, what the hell happened?"

"Someone reported that our auction house sold things that shouldn't be sold. Now that the auction house has been closed down, it may be related to the theft of antiques some time ago."

Then Su Qiming called Zhang Yi and asked what happened.

It has nothing to do with the theft of the antiques, it's just that someone reported that Su's auction house was in collusion with the tomb gang.

The sale of some objects dug out of the ground was more serious than the theft of antiques. This incident caused turmoil in the Su family auction house.

Some treasures have been seized, and I am afraid that the exchange will not be able to reopen for a while.

"We have to rush to Lai City immediately to see how the stock exchange is doing over there."

Su Qiming made a decisive decision. Since this incident happened at the exchange here, it means that Lai City is not safe either.

"What is Grandpa doing now?"

Su Cen seemed to have also discovered the crisis, and looked at Su Qiming with some confusion.

"Brother Zhao, would you like to accompany Lao Xiao for a walk?"

Zhao Gang wasn't the kind of ungrateful person either. Seeing that Mr. Su was so nervous, he couldn't refuse.

I called Wang Hui and handed over the matter of the antique shop to Master, and boarded the plane to Lai City with Wang Hui.

As soon as the plane landed, Mr. Su rushed to his exchange, and Su Cen handed over to Zhao Gang and Wang Hui to take care of him.

"I heard that the antique street in Nanshi is more interesting. Let's take a look."

Originally, Miss Su was not in the mood to go shopping, but the thought that she might be able to find good treasures there would alleviate the current crisis.

So he went with Zhao Gang.

Although the antique street in Lai City is not as lush as the imperial capital, it can be regarded as one of the few good places.

A few people wandered aimlessly in the antique street, and Zhao Gang observed the bottles and cans on the street stalls.

Wang Hui was attracted by a gourd on a booth, and he had squatted there looking at it for a long time.

"How about it, did Brother Wang find any good treasures?"

Hearing Zhao Gang ask himself this question, Wang Hui simply pointed to the gourd, hoping that Zhao Gang could help him palm his eyes.

The whole body of the gourd is covered with a halo, and its appearance is a good thing, but although I have researched on appraising treasures, I don't know much about gourds.

He could only rely on his own ability to see that it was a good thing, so Zhao Gang nodded Wang Hui's hand.

Nodding in such an antique street is equivalent to recognition, and the stall owner will ask for a high price. The two have agreed that as long as the item is good, they will nod each other's hands.

With Zhao Gang's approval, Wang Hui became more determined in his heart, but on the surface Wang Hui remained calm.

"How about it, brother, this item of mine is a century-old item."

If you listen to the sellers on the antique street, you have been deceived. The reason why my stall owner can make money depends entirely on his sharp tongue.

Wang Hui did not respond, but still squatted in front of the booth, watching carefully.

The stall owner knew that he had met an expert, so he simply kept silent and waited for Wang Hui to speak.

"Boss, how do you sell this gourd?"

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Wang Hui finally asked, and the boss regained his energy immediately.

"My baby is not bargaining, five hundred yuan!"

Wang Hui was almost injured internally by his boss at the party. The quality of your gourd can be resold for not even [-], but several thousand.

What's more, the gourd is priceless, and it is not worth much to antique collectors.

But for some Feng Shui masters who are superstitious about Feng Shui, this is a good thing.

Some time ago, there was a Feng Shui master in the imperial capital who spent nearly 80 to buy back a treasure gourd.

The name of the gourd is also derived from its shape, which looks like a wine pot and an alchemy furnace.

In the early Ming and Qing Dynasties, people called this thing a pot furnace, but such a name could not reflect its characteristics.

Later generations simply changed it to a gourd, which can not only express its outline, but also indicate that it grows on rattan.

When appreciating gourds, the first thing to look at is the appearance and fineness. Crooked melons and cracked dates are definitely not good, and poor fineness is not worth much.

The treasure gourd in front of me is very upright, and the center point is also very appropriate. There is no picky appearance, and it is very lovable in terms of color.

The gourd has two uses, one is to hold some drinks, because of its petite size, it is more convenient to carry.

Popular with some wine lovers.

The second is the value of playing and viewing.

As if it can be placed in the hand, it can not only promote blood circulation, but also exercise the fine muscles of the hand.

Many small gourds are rubbed in the palms of the hands of literati and righteous people as treasures, just like walnuts.

It is also because of this that walnuts have been fired at sky-high prices, and gourds are similar.

"Brother Wang, this gourd looks a bit nondescript. It's a bit bland if you want to hold it in your hand. But it's a bit small for a wine container."

Zhao Gang said this sentence in Wang Hui's ear, the voice was not loud enough for the stall owner to hear.

"You can't say that, little brother. Although the size of this gourd is indeed a bit embarrassing, his appearance is one in a hundred."

Zhao Gang thought to himself, if the appearance is not good enough, then there is really no need for this thing.

Is it possible to spend 500 yuan to buy a water ladle?

"In addition to the two functions you mentioned, the gourd also has the meaning of attracting wealth and treasure. I didn't look at the little boy next to the God of Wealth, and all of them were sitting on a big gourd."

Wang Hui did not expect that, indeed, some Feng Shui masters use gourds as objects to attract wealth and treasure.

Not only can it attract wealth and treasure, but it can also protect the safety of the owner. Among the eight immortals crossing the sea, isn’t there a god who rides a gourd across the sea?

But if this is the case, if I want to make a move, I'm afraid I have to find an expert, which undoubtedly adds a lot of workload to everyone.

Ordinary feng shui masters don't have so much money to buy expensive gourds, but famous feng shui masters probably don't like this thing either.

When Wang Hui heard the confrontation between the two, he felt a little troubled for a while, not knowing whether he should get this thing or not.

"Brother Wang, if you really like it, then buy it. Then I will ask Mr. Su to find a Feng Shui master for you."
