Chapter 68 White Jade Cabbage
Yun Qingli deliberately ignored Hou Ruowan's words, turned to Bai Jiarui, and asked softly: "Grandmother, are you tired, why don't you sit down first?"

After standing and chatting for a long time, Yun Qingli knew that Bai Jiarui had rheumatism and should not stand for a long time, so she was really worried that the old lady would suffer.After getting along these days, although Yun Qingli only called Mr. Zhao the old lady "grandfather and grandmother" because of Zhuo Cang, but after a long time, she really regarded the two of them as her own grandfather and grandmother in her heart.

The crowd also complied, surrounded Bai Jiarui and sat down at the seat.The people at the venue also took their seats one after another.

At this time, the waiter delivered the album of the auction items to everyone. They were carefully studying the auction items in the album, but Yun Qingli turned to the end of the album. It was a piece of white jade cabbage. Sculpture.

There is one piece of this jade in both the BJ Palace Museum and the Taiwan Palace Museum.And this piece of white jade cabbage in this auction is moist and moist, and the carving is natural and meticulously crafted, which can be described as uncanny workmanship.However, it is stated in the album that this jade is a fake of two pieces of white jade and cabbage in the South and North Forbidden City Museums.It's just that although this jade product is a fake, it was placed at the finale of this auction, which is enough to show its preciousness.

In fact, Yun Qingli had seen the real body of this jade product up close.That chance was also accidental. It was the only time she attended a social occasion with Yunzhen after she became an adult. She went to the Southeast Asian rubber king's villa in Qinjiang and saw this fake.A few years ago, I seemed to have seen the news of the death of the rubber king. I am afraid that after that, the relics were sold or donated.

Bai Jiarui saw Yun Qingli lost in thought while reading this album, so he asked, "Do you like this jade?"

Yun Qingli shook her head, "I just saw this jade before."

Admiral Luo Shikai's wife, Zhong Tong, is a descendant of an aristocratic family, and has been a wealthy family for more than three generations, so she is familiar with these high-class treasures. After hearing Yun Qingli's words, she pondered for a while, "If I remember correctly, this This piece of jade was originally owned by Tang Zhihuan, the rubber tycoon of Southeast Asia, right? Unfortunately, Mr. Tang passed away, and his children separated, and Malaysia’s rubber industry was also divided. Old Mr. Tang's children took it out and sold it."

Sun Yan, the wife of Huang Zhongqiu, the commander of the fourth division, also heard a little about this incident. She glanced at Hou Ruowan, who was sitting three or four rows away, and said, "Hou Ruowan may have taken a fancy to this jade product when she came here this time. I heard from Lao Huang Said, Tan Xinping has been getting close to the political commissar recently. This white jade cabbage was taken by Hou Ruowan, I'm afraid it's for giving away!"

When Zhong Tong heard this, he sneered, "We are all in the army's house, so why do we care about his affairs in the Central Bureau! Tan Xinping has turned the world upside down, can he go to the army to have fun?"

Bai Jiarui heard that Sun Yan and Zhong Tong were speaking freely, so she winked at Zhao Hu Yilan, telling Zhao Hu Yilan to stop talking, not to let others listen to the truth.Zhao Hu Yilan was the most cautious one. Seeing Bai Jiarui's expression, she immediately patted the backs of Sun Yan and Zhong Tong's hands, "You should concentrate on seeing what you like today, and pay attention to holding up signs later, don't Just like last time, I was snatched away, and I went back to complain to myself!"

"No, Mrs. Zhao was the one who got the auction last time!" Zhong Tong remembered the scene of the last auction, and hurriedly flipped through the album, memorizing the number of the auction item he liked.

The auction has finally started.

The first item to be auctioned was a painting of "Drinking Horses and Walking the Great Wall" by the court painter of the Qing Dynasty based on Fu Xuan's work in the Western Jin Dynasty. Zhong Tong seemed to like this piece very much, so he came to the door first and took a picture of this scroll.

Then Sun Yan also won an enamel Western-style sitting clock, and Zhao Hu Yilan had a clear goal, and she won a Hunan embroidery screen with thousands of horses galloping in the Republic of China.

Finally, it was the white jade cabbage.

The host on the stage began to talk eloquently, "This piece of white jade and cabbage jade is mild in quality, and it is a high-quality Lantian warm jade. Although it is a fake, the jade master's outstanding carving art is revealed in the carving."

There have been rumors that during the Qing Dynasty, there was a master appreciator in a pawn shop who was revered as a god.He is named Left Eye, because of his unique appreciation, his left eye will close unconsciously every time he sees a genuine product, so he got the name.At that time, a white jade cabbage statue in the palace was passed down to the people, and there were fakes on the black market. Many people went to their left eyes to check the authenticity, and the left eyes could immediately recognize the fakes.

But one day a quack warlock approached Zuoyan, saying that he had white jade cabbage, and hoped that Zuoyan would lead him to find a buyer.Zuo Yan didn't believe this charlatan, and only said that he had to check the authenticity of the jade product before deciding whether to help him find a buyer.

Most of the quack warlocks are playing tricks, and the left eye has been in the pawn shop for many years, so naturally they will not be easily fooled.But the quack warlock was not ambiguous, and asked his apprentice to take out the white jade cabbage.The moment he saw the white jade cabbage, the master connoisseur who was revered as a god-man closed his left eye!
After confirming the authenticity of this piece of white jade cabbage, the left eye immediately found a buyer for the charlatan.That plutocrat owner was not young, so he asked Zuo Yan at that time, is this piece of white jade cabbage really the real thing?
The left eye is sure, it is genuine.

As a result, the chaebol owner bought the white jade cabbage of the quack warlock.

But on the second day, the charlatan found his left eye again.Say I have white jade cabbage here, and you will find a buyer for me.

Suspicious in his left eye, he said, didn't you come here yesterday, and you also sold the white jade cabbage, why is there still white jade cabbage?

The charlatan said that I was not lying, and asked his disciple to bring out a piece of white jade cabbage.Just when he saw this jade product, the appreciator closed his left eye again.

This jade is still genuine!

Surprised in his left eye, could it be that he made a mistake in his appreciation yesterday, is that piece of white jade cabbage a fake?

Suspicious in his left eye, he carefully appraised the jade brought by the quack warlock today.But the more careful the inspection, the more certain the idea that this jade product is genuine.

Left Eye thought of a way, went to the chaebol owner who bought the white jade cabbage yesterday, and appraised the white jade cabbage brought by the charlatan again.But after looking at it for a long time, that piece of white jade cabbage is also genuine!
But only one piece of white jade cabbage came out of the palace, how could there be two authentic pieces among the people!
There is always a fake!
Left Eye thought for a long time, and decided to buy the white jade cabbage brought by the quack warlock.But this time, the asking price of the charlatan was twice as high as yesterday!
The quack said, I don't force you to buy this jade, you can think about it, after all, you are a master appraiser, you can decide whether the jade is true or not, you should understand the value of it.

Of course, the left eye knew the value of this white jade cabbage. Although twice the value was slightly higher, it was still profitable.So Zuo Yan made up his mind and went bankrupt to buy this piece of jade.
