Chapter 302 The Priceless Treasure
It was a little strange for the two of them to see this white-haired old man walking over with a cane step by step.

"Old man, what's the matter?"

Yang Huan was cheated and was in a bad mood, but he was still polite to the old man.

The old man came over, holding a cane, cupping his fists and saluting.

Yang Huan found that people who like antiques seem to like this tune.

When the boss of the Zangjin Pavilion and the middle-aged scribe met just now, they also learned from the ancients.

"You two, just now I looked at the jade pendant bought by this young master, and thought it was a bit novel, but after a quick glance, I couldn't see it clearly."

Yang Huan nodded, wondering what the old man was going to do.

"I have been fond of antiques since I was a child, and I have dabbled in antiques to some extent, but this is the first time I have seen such a strange jade pendant. I wonder if I can lend it to the old man for a second look?"

Yang Huan and Zhuang Zicheng looked at each other, feeling awkward.

However, the owner of the Golden Pavilion has also appraised it just now, and it is not a treasure.

And the opposite is an old man in his 80s and [-]s with a cane. What are you afraid of?

So Yang Huan didn't say much, just took out the wooden box and handed it over.

The old man took the wooden box, looked left and right, and was amazed.

"This box is carved from small-leaf red sandalwood from India. Its value is comparable to gold, but the carving style is a bit of British aristocratic style. It should be a treasure from England!"

Yang Huan glanced at Zhuang Zicheng, who was also a little surprised.

It's really a god, just glance at it, and you can see it.

"If I'm not mistaken, the character in the middle of the jade pendant is the small seal script of the Qin Dynasty, but it is not very neat. It should be the characters of the early Han Dynasty, 彘!"

"Ambition?" Yang Huan thought it was an aspiration of ambition.

"Yes, swine, pigs. In ancient times, there was a kind of torture called human pig. It was to chop off a person's limbs, goug out his eyes, cut off his tongue, and turn him into a human pig. For example, in the early Han Dynasty, Empress Lu used this kind of torture on Liu Bang's wife Qi."

Yang Huan had heard of this allusion.

"So, this jade pendant is an ominous thing?"

If it was a mascot, how could such a word be engraved on it?
If it's really an ominous thing, then Yang Huan definitely can't give it away, otherwise it's not a blessing, but a curse!
Unexpectedly, the old man shook his head, "No and no."

He held the jade pendant in his hand, played with it very carefully, and gradually discovered the mystery.

That is, after the jade pendant touched the human body, the temperature increased, and the jade pendant, which had no luster at first, became warmer and moister, with a little red luster. The longer it was worn close to the body, the more obvious the luster.

"Sure enough, this is an extremely rare warm and fragrant jade from the ancient Western Regions!"

"What do you mean?" Yang Huan and Zhuang Zicheng were confused.

"Dai Shulun, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, once used the words "the sun is warm in the blue field and the smoke in the bright jade" to describe the unattainable artistic conception. Later, the great poet Li Shangyin wrote in his Jinse poems that there are clouds, the moon and the pearl in the sea have tears, and the sun in the blue field is warm and the jade produces smoke."

"Both these two poets use warm jade to describe an artistic conception."

Yang Huan has always been very contemptuous of this kind of behavior of dropping book bags.

But seeing that the other party is an old man, and he can find out the origin of this jade pendant, he can only endure it.

"Old man, what do you mean, this is a warm jade?"

"more than!"

"More than that?" Yang Huan didn't expect there to be a surprise.

"Whether Nuanyu really exists, the archaeological community has always had objections. Some people think it exists, but some people think it is just a fiction. But without exception, if Nuanyu really exists, it must be extremely rare and rare. Only dignitaries and even the royal family have the right to use it."

In the ancient imperial society, extremely rare treasures were often used by the most powerful people.

"I think the carving technique of this jade pendant is very similar to the characteristics of the early Han Dynasty. The character "彘" in Xiaozhuan is a personal name."

"Name?" Zhuang Zicheng thought it was funny.

"Old man, didn't you say that the word pig means pig?"

Isn't that why someone named their child a pig?

Are there such stupid parents?
"Master Zhuang, you have misunderstood!" The old man replied with a smile.

"Misunderstand?"

"Yes, the living conditions in ancient times were poor. Even the children of nobles, many of them died before reaching adulthood due to various reasons. Therefore, many nobles, even in the emperor's family, would deliberately choose some lowly and humble names when naming their children. The purpose is to make their children strong."

"This point, even in many places now, still has traditions, but people nowadays are more likely to use nicknames."

Yang Huan had some understanding of this.

This situation is more common in rural areas and rural areas, such as Chen Ergou, or piglets and the like.

Parents who choose this name often want their children to thrive.

"Who used this name in ancient times?" Yang Huan was quite curious.

"Yes!" The old man nodded solemnly, "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!"

Yang Huan frowned, "Isn't Emperor Wu of the Han called Liu Che?"

There are some in this history book.

Bullying me for reading less?
"That's the name he changed after he became the prince. Before that, he was called Liu Zhi."

Yang Huan was a little skeptical, and didn't know whether it was true or false.

So, with the principle of asking Du Niang when I have any doubts, I logged in to Du Niang with my mobile phone and entered Liu Che.

Sure enough, when I saw Liu Che's alias, it was called Liu Zhi.

"You mean, this jade pendant is the personal warm jade of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty?"

"That's right!" The old man nodded with certainty.

"But just now the boss of the Golden Pavilion swore that this is a fake!" Yang Huan was a little skeptical.

Could it be that the old man in front of him has more vision than the boss of the Golden Pavilion?
"He just glanced at it briefly, and didn't pay attention to it. In addition, what Nuan Yu said was controversial and rare in the world, so it's not surprising that he couldn't recognize it for a while."

Yang Huan saw that he was speaking clearly and logically, but he believed it a little bit.

Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that the British royal family and nobles have collected it for so many years, and they are not fools.

If it is really the personal warm jade of Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, then this thing is worth a lot of money, a priceless treasure!
"As the saying goes, a man is innocent, but he is guilty of carrying a jade. In the era of imperial power, whoever owns this warm jade will definitely not dare to say anything. In the end, it is likely to fall into the hands of the royal family. If I guess correctly, it should have been exiled to Europe in the late Qing Dynasty."

This time Yang Huan was able to draw a blueprint in his mind.

This warm jade fell into the hands of the British nobles. At that time, the British nobles colonized India, so they made this wooden box with Indian red sandalwood as a family heirloom.

British aristocrats seem to respect the use of wooden boxes, and the Duke of Westminster used wooden boxes to hold invitations.

The old man soon found corroborating evidence.

He saw that jade pendant was held in his hand, and after a while, it became redder, and the whole jade pendant warmed his hands even more.

Faintly, there is also a faint fragrance.

"I can be [-]% sure that this is the legendary Wenxiang Nuanyu!" The old man looked very excited.

But after a while of excitement, the old man reluctantly put the jade pendant back into the wooden box, and put his precious hands in front of Yang Huan, "Master Yang, this is a priceless treasure, please be careful!"

Yang Huan picked it up in a funny way. The things he bought casually became national treasures?
"The old man will return to read the ancient books immediately, and if he gains something, he will visit again immediately!"

As he spoke, the old man took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Yang Huan.

At first glance, darling, it turns out that Zhang Xiaochuan is the honorary chairman of the National Cultural Relics Appraisal Committee.

There is still his phone number below!
"Then you have to hurry, or I will give it to someone as a birthday present in two days!" Yang Huan said with a smile.

Give it as a birthday present?
Zhang Xiaochuan looked at Zhuang Zicheng, seemed to think of something, nodded, cupped his fists, and left.

Zhuang Zicheng felt a little strange watching him leave step by step, and then looked at the business card in Yang Huan's hand.

"Brother Huan, you can't be a liar, can you?"

Yang Huan couldn't help laughing, "Have you ever seen such a liar?"

Zhuang Zicheng was speechless, he had never seen it before!

"Come on, let's go back!"

The two walked out of the alleyway, and Zhuang Zicheng saw the location clearly, so he called the driver to bring the car over.

While waiting for the bus, Yang Huan received a call from Liu Mingwei.

Fatty Liu had already found out about Yang Huan's flight to the capital today, so he immediately called and said that he was going to clean up Yang Huan at night, so Yang Huan must be honored.

Yang Huan couldn't shirk it, so he agreed.

After sitting on the plane for so long, I went to the antique trading market as soon as I got off the plane. Now that things are done, I have to go home and sleep quickly to beat the jet lag.

But who would have thought that just as Yang Huan left by car, Qin Yongming also got off at the same place.

A man ran out of the alley immediately.

If Long Wu was there, he would be able to recognize it at a glance.

This guy is the one who has been following them since the airport just now.

"Young Master Qin!"

"Where's Yang Huan?" Qin Yongming asked immediately.

"I don't know. I watched him and Zhuang Zicheng walk out of the Golden Pavilion, so I ran back to find out the news. It seems that I should have been away for a while."

The follower obviously didn't see Yang Huan and Zhang Xiaochuan meeting, and thought they had been away for a long time.

In fact, it is a matter of front and rear feet.

If Yang Huan delays a little longer, maybe he can still meet him.

"What news did you find out?" Qin Yongming asked with concern.

The follower shook his head, "The people in the Zangjin Pavilion refused to tell, they just said, Yang Huan asked them to appraise the treasure!"

"Appraisal?"

Qin Yongming can almost conclude that Yang Huan must have bought a certain antique as a birthday gift!
This bastard actually knows how to do what he likes, it doesn't look stupid!

"Go, take me there!"

Hidden Gold Pavilion?
He, Young Master Qin, just bought an antique from the Golden Pavilion for nearly 100 million as a birthday gift. He is going to find out the news. Could it be that the people in the Golden Pavilion dare not tell him?
Qin Yongming has been here two or three times, and went up to the second floor by groping the alleyway familiarly.

The owner of the hidden golden pavilion is not there, but the middle-aged scribe is.

"Old Zhou!" Qin Yongming walked over and shouted.

"Hey, Young Master Qin, what wind brought you here?"

The middle-aged scribe was usually refined and romantic, but when he saw Qin Yongming, he wished he could write flattery on his face.

"Old Zhou, I ask you something, you have to answer me honestly!"

"Okay, you, Young Master Qin, didn't say a word!"

Qin Yongming looked around guiltily, making sure no one was paying attention to them before speaking.

"Did Zhuang Zicheng bring a man named Yang Huan to look for your treasure just now?"

The middle-aged scribe Lao Zhou nodded hurriedly when he heard it, "Yes, there is such a thing, appraising a jade pendant."

"What's the origin?" Qin Yongming hurriedly asked.

"Our boss looked at it for a long time, and concluded that this jade pendant is a fake, and the value does not exceed ten thousand."

"Really?" Qin Yongming couldn't believe it.

Could Yang Huan's carefully prepared gift be a fake?

"Young Master Qin, I didn't say that. Our boss said it. As you know, our boss has a sharp eye. He has seen countless antiques. He never misses it!" Lao Zhou was very sure.

Qin Yongming seemed to believe in the vision of the boss of Zangjin Pavilion.

"It's just..." Lao Zhou hesitated.

　On New Year's Eve, Lao Chen wishes all book friends good health and good luck every year!
