A legendary happy life

Chapter 13 Huanxi Buddha Wood Carving

She started going to school as soon as the Lantern Festival was over. Xu Nanyu was promoted from the second year of junior high school to the third year of junior high school and couldn't keep up with her studies in the next semester. Fortunately, there were two high-achieving students watching over her, so she wouldn't fall behind too much.Mr. Li didn't ask much, since the dozens of boxes of books were delivered to Xu Nanyu, he didn't ask any more questions, and the full implementation of the sheep-herding policy all depended on self-consciousness.Xu Nanyu will set aside one day a week to visit, ask questions if he doesn't understand, and deepen his impression if he understands. Facts have proved that it is most correct for him to worship Mr. Li as his teacher, because his cognitive ability is improving by leaps and bounds.

He also goes to the Antique Street regularly, not picking up leaks but practicing them. Of course, he will not let go of any small leaks. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is meat, and no one thinks it is too much money.

Humming a little tune and wandering around, the bag contained the 2000 yuan he had missed just now, planning to go to the pharmacy early in the morning to buy some supplements to supplement Lin Ruyu, which can also be regarded as doing his part for his college entrance examination.

Turning out of the Antique Street and looking up, I saw a man hiding at the street corner, holding a wooden box in his hand with a strange expression, as if he didn't dare to enter the street.

has a problem!The alarm sounded, and Tian walked up to him with a straight face and asked, "Brother, is there anything I can do to help?"

The other party was obviously startled, took three steps back, and replied embarrassedly: "No, it's okay."

He's seen this kind of expression a lot, it's the kind of expression that people who sell family treasures have all the time before. "Acquaintance is also a kind of fate. If this elder brother doesn't dislike it, let's go, and my younger brother will treat you to a cup of tea." He lulled him into the private room of the nearby teahouse, waved away the waiter to serve himself, and handed him a cup of hot tea. Sexual small talk.

But after a while, the other party let go and complained with a bitter face. "Yes, little brother, you don't know the hardships of us adults. The children go to school, the family's household, rent, everything costs money, and I'm just an ordinary part-time job. Seeing the housing price rising day by day, it's just my meager money. How can the salary be enough to support the family?"

"That's, alas, this person is tired in life. Don't look at my little brother, I also have a lot of troubles. The boss gets angry when I can't receive good things. If you think about it, there are always so many old things. How can you meet them every day? Did you say it was Big Brother?"

"Little brother collects old things?"

Take the bait!I was overjoyed in my heart, but there was no trace on the surface, and I poured tea for him steadily in my hand, and even gave him a fancy "three nods of the phoenix". "It's not worth it, it's just a meal."

"I have something for my little brother to take a look at?" As soon as the words came out, I felt a little regretful.

"I can't ask for it!" Xu Nanyu didn't give him time, and immediately asked the coffee table out of the place, signaling to put things on it.

Putting the wooden box on hesitantly, he said, "This thing of mine is a little special..."

"It's okay, I've seen a lot of special things." After speaking, he opened the wooden box under the signal of the other party, looked inside, and almost spit out the tea he drank just now. He closed the cover with a 'touch', his face turned red, and the other party was also full of embarrassment.

"Well, let's forget it." The man felt a little regretful. After all, he knew his things. Ten out of ten people would feel uncomfortable after seeing them. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been buried in his house for decades and no one had taken them out.

"No, big brother, let me take another look." After washing his hands, he opened the lid of the box again, and reached out to take it as calmly as possible.

"Look slowly, little brother, I'm going to the laundry room."

"Okay." Xu Nanyu breathed a sigh of relief, no matter how old he was in front of a man to watch this thing carefully, he would still be embarrassed, and the best choice was for the other party to back away.I took one out of the box, and saw that the carving, the size of the palm of an adult man, exudes a reddish color. It looks like an old object, not to mention the exquisite wood. It is a rare wood, and it is now a luxury item; The work is also good, the lines, grand views, shapes, etc. are all rare treasures.pity.Xu Nanyu was wrong when she looked back, if it wasn't for this 'unique' shape, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to accept it.

Huanxi Buddha is the deity of Tibetan Tantric Buddhism that combines Indian Esoteric Buddhism and local Tibetan beliefs. Its production is based on the worship of reproduction and the idea of ​​sexual power.It's just that when it was introduced to the Central Plains, a purely male version appeared representing French men and French women.

Now what Xu Nanyu has in his hands are the sixteen pure male version of the Buddha statues of Huanxi, which are upside down, extremely obscene and obscene as private objects.Sigh, this is the sorrow of Buddha nature, but also the sorrow of human nature.

The man came back half an hour later, motioned him to sit down and said: "This is a plaything in the Qing Dynasty, a carved version of Huanxi Buddha, the wood is made of mahogany, and the vivid pictograms are very meaningful, but this version should be a few statues short, and so 'Special'. Let's do it this way, if the elder brother makes a suitable price, the younger brother will pay the price."

There was joy on the man's face, and then sank again. "Little brother is an expert, you can make a price."

"Since the elder brother trusts the younger brother, the younger brother will not hide it from you. This kind of 'rare thing' is very popular. If it is the French male and female version, I believe it will be scrambled for, but this version? If you want to make a move, you have to meet the right one. People also need to have a suitable price. Mahogany is a rare product. The size of mahogany on the market today is 80 yuan, and these [-] statues are old objects. Let’s do this. I will pay [-] yuan for each statue, a total of [-] yuan. You see how?"

"80?!" This price obviously startled the man, and it exceeded his psychological price by a lot.With 80 yuan, he can buy a bigger house, start a small business, and maybe get a good marriage. "Success, let's pay the price that the little brother said!"

"Transfer or cash?"

"Transfer the money."

Transfer money on the mobile phone on the spot, put the box away and ask, "Brother, does this item have a story?"

The man smiled embarrassedly. "Don't be afraid of my little brother's jokes. This thing has been passed down from ancestors, and it is rarely touched. If it is lost, it is a pity that it will be embarrassing to take it out. It has been locked and pressed. What is the source..." Shaking his head. "No one knows anymore."

"It's okay, thank you, big brother." Watching the other party leave, he locked the door and took out the things for a closer look.Mahogany is good, but there are also grades of mahogany, and if you read correctly, these are the rare red sandalwood in mahogany, and it is Indian small-leaved red sandalwood, which is even more precious.The Qing Dynasty was the most prosperous period in my country's 5000 years, and there were countless treasures in tribute every year, and the small-leaf red sandalwood was one of them, commonly known as: tribute.The tribute is under the unified jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and is distributed by the emperor during festivals. Princes, concubines, royal relatives, ministers, etc., but who can get so many red sandalwood treasures and have the courage to make it into such a "wonderful thing", no The prince is a powerful relative of the emperor; the carving skills are even more vivid.It's a pity that the maintenance of this object is not in place. Although there is no damage, the wood coating is extremely unsightly. If he wants to sell it, he will have to maintain it for a long time.cough cough.Well, he admits, he won't make a move.

All in all, all in all, he missed it.It's a pity that only he knows about this omission. In fact, to be honest, he really hopes to see Li Lao's expression when he sees the sixteen happy Buddhas. How exciting will that be?
