The Charming Life of Rebirth

Fang Hua felt ashamed of spending money on a private imitation, and planned to buy another real thing.

What Xiao Lin said just now made Fang Ye and He Bin interested in buying antiques.They went to the booth to choose.

"Linlin, what do you think of this?" Fang Ye picked up a pottery figurine and asked.

Xiao Lin was startled, this was the first time Fang Ye spoke to him alone, Xiao Lin didn't react for a while.

"Linlin, what's the matter?" Fang Ye saw that Xiao Lin didn't answer, so he asked again.

Only then did Xiao Lin come to his senses, and looked up at the pottery figurine Fang Ye was holding, but shook his head and didn't speak.

Seeing Xiao Lin shaking his head, Fang Ye felt that this thing must be unreliable, so he put the terracotta figurine on the ground.

But even though he didn't buy it, Fang Ye still wanted to know why Xiao Lin shook his head, so he said, "Linlin, that terracotta figurine just now looks quite old, isn't it right?" It's rotten, so it can't be an imitation.

After a period of silence, Xiao Lin had calmed down and regarded Fang Ye as an ordinary friend.

"That pottery figurine is very old, but it is because it is too old. The old ones are dilapidated and have no collection value at all."

"It turns out that the more broken the antique, the better." Fang Ye finally understood.

Never seen Fang Ye's childish expression before, Xiao Lin felt that it was worth living a lifetime.

Because they are interested in these antiques, everyone will take a few small things and ask Xiao Lin for his opinion.

Xiao Lin nodded, and they bought it, Xiao Lin shook his head, and they put it down.

After walking several stalls forward, Xiao Lin stopped in front of a Buddha statue stall.

This stall has ornaments such as Guanyin and Maitreya, as well as decorations such as prayer beads and necklaces.

The reason why Xiao Lin stopped was because he saw a very nice Maitreya Buddha ornament.

Because Xiao Lin has studied sculpture, he can see that this Maitreya Buddha statue is exquisitely carved, skillful in knife skills, and the lines of the whole ornament are natural and smooth, like the handwriting of a master.

But this Buddha statue is not a jade or stone carving, it seems to be a wood carving.

Xiao Lin didn't quite see it.In fact, there is a thick layer of dirt on the statue. If you don't pick it up, it's really hard to confirm.

Now that he has taken a fancy to the carving, Xiao Lin no longer bothered to think about its texture, so he asked, "How can I sell this Buddha statue?"

The seller was a middle-aged man, who seemed to be setting up a stall for the first time, with a nervous expression on his face.

"This Buddha statue is from my family's ancestors. If you want it, you can, just, five hundred."

Fang Ye exclaimed: "This broken statue is worth five hundred?" Just now his brother bought such a beautiful bottle for 500 yuan, Xiao Lin said it was not worth it, this broken Buddha statue is not even worth five yuan in his opinion .

Unexpectedly, Xiao Lin didn't counter the price and gave the stall owner [-] yuan directly.

Xiao Lin's action frightened the middle-aged man for a moment. He never thought that a child could carry so much money with him.

Both the money and the goods are settled, and the transaction is considered a success.Xiao Lin picked up the Buddha statue and looked at it carefully.

This Maitreya Buddha statue has a broad forehead, slightly closed eyes, and a vivid smile.Topless and exposed, leaning cross-legged on a stone, with a leisurely expression.

It is indeed a masterpiece of a master, with a natural and lifelike expression.

Xiao Lin couldn't put it down for this Buddha statue.

Looking left and right, Fang Hua didn't see anything unusual about the Buddha statue, so he couldn't help asking: "Xiao Linzi, is your Buddha statue an antique?"

Xiao Lin shook his head: "I can't tell if it's an antique or not. What I'm interested in is the carving of this Buddha statue."

"500 yuan just to buy a carver? Xiao Linzi, you have a lot of money!"

As soon as Fang Hua finished speaking, He Bin proudly said from the side: "Of course Linlin has a lot of money. Just selling the design drawings, he took tens of thousands from my third uncle."

"Really?" Fang Hua was really surprised this time, even the elites cultivated by his family could not earn tens of thousands in a short time.Of course, if you take illegal ways to get money, it will definitely be faster, but that is not very safe.

He Xu once again showed a shocked expression.

He was not too surprised when he heard He Bin say that Xiao Lin helped the third uncle draw the design yesterday, thinking that the third uncle was helping Xiao Lin because of his grandfather's face.

Hearing that Xiao Lin is Huang Wei's apprentice today, he was only a little surprised. After all, Xiao Lin's ability to draw design drawings proves that his painting skills are good, and it is reasonable for Huang Lao to be optimistic about him.

It wasn't until now that he heard that Xiao Lin had earned tens of thousands of dollars, he didn't pay attention to it. His third uncle is a standard businessman, if there is no profit, he would never ask such a high price.This Xiao Lin became more and more difficult to see through.

On the way home, everyone was silent.It's depressing to be hit by an eight-year-old.

Xiao Lin went directly to Huang Wei's house, he wanted Huang Wei to take a look at this Buddha sculpture.Although he couldn't see the texture of the Buddha statue, Huang Lao must be fine.

After sending Xiao Lin to Huang's home, He Xu and the others greeted Huang and left.

Although He Bin really wanted to stay, but the look of his elder brother made him obediently go home obediently.

Xiao Lin wanted to clean the Buddha sculpture, but was worried that it would be damaged, so he didn't dare to do it along the way.When he arrived at Huang Wei's house, he immediately said, "Grandpa Huang, look at this statue, what is it made of!"

Huang Wei took the statue and looked carefully at the window.

Gently wipe off the dirt on it, the statue actually shows the pattern of growth rings, and it also has a hint of luster.

Huang Wei looked a little serious: "Linlin, go and get Grandpa Huang's Erguotou."

Xiao Lin was taken aback, what are you doing with Erguotou?Although he didn't understand, Xiao Lin hurried to the kitchen and took out Huang Wei's Erguotou.

Huang Wei took a knife and gently scraped off a few small pieces of wood chips against the base of the Buddha statue, because the scraped wood chips were very small and had no effect on the entire Buddha statue.

Huang Wei opened the wine bottle, poured half a glass of white wine into the glass, and poured all the scraped sawdust into the glass.

Xiao Lin's eyes widened, as if he understood what Huang Wei was doing.

I saw a trace of white mist gradually appearing on the wine in the glass, and soon, purple-red seeped from the sawdust, and these purple-red began to slowly float towards the mouth of the glass.

"Purple Qi coming from the east?" Xiao Lin exclaimed.

Huang Wei laughed: "Linlin has seen a lot, and she even knows that Ziqi is coming from the east?"

"I saw it in a book, but I didn't expect it to exist!"

Huang Wei said: "I don't know what is stuck on the outside of this Buddha statue, but it completely covers the fragrance of rosewood. Otherwise, you may be able to tell the difference of this Buddha statue just by smelling the fragrance."

Xiao Lin knew that this Buddha statue was made of red sandalwood, and he was even more satisfied with this statue.With purple and black tones, quaint shapes, and a touch of fragrance, this statue is definitely a treasure.

What he prefers is actually the carving of Buddha statues, but unfortunately he didn't leave his name, so he doesn't know which master's work it is.

Huang Wei put the statue into the antique rack and said, "Linlin, this Buddha statue should be carved from small-leaf red sandalwood. It is very valuable. No one lives in your house all year round. Let Grandpa Huang stay here."

Xiao Lin smiled and said, "Grandpa Huang, my things are those old books and newspapers that I dare to put upstairs. I don't dare to put these porcelains and sculptures in there. I feel sorry for losing any of them!"

Huang Wei tapped his head: "You kid, can you stop being so old-fashioned?"

Xiao Lin stuck out his tongue: "Grandpa Huang, if you knock your head too much, you will become stupid."

Huang Wei snorted: "I hope you are stupid, so that you can be obedient."

The master and apprentice chatted and laughed for a while, and it was getting late.

Huang Wei made porridge, and the two ate it with pickles.

After the meal, Huang Wei asked, "Linlin, are you planning to celebrate the New Year at your grandfather He's house?"

Xiao Lin nodded: "Grandpa He said, let me get to know relatives at home during the Chinese New Year."

Huang Wei breathed a sigh of relief.He was afraid that Xiao Lin would not get used to it in the He family, but now it seems that Lao He really regards Lin Lin as his grandson.
