Chapter 58: On Jade
Seeing Zhou Botong's gossip, Lin Tian briefly told what happened in Xinyi Shopping Mall.
"It turns out that so many things happened later. Alas, young people are impulsive." Mr. Zhou took a sip of tea and sighed.
Little did he know that Sun Decai was a little impulsive, but he didn't break the glass of the jewelry counter. It was just that Lin Tian tricked him from behind.
"Brother Lin Tian, it's a pity that I wasn't there for such a fun thing." Zhou Botong was still frightened by his grandfather's eyes before he could continue.
Mr. Zhou glanced helplessly at his grandson and said to Lin Tian: "I am very happy that Botong can make you as a friend. He is usually too out of touch. I hope he can learn from you. After all, you are all young people.
, we can chat."
"Mr. Zhou, it is right for young people to be energetic. I think Botong is a nice person. He is a loyal, honest and trustworthy person." Lin Tian said honestly. Although he thought Zhou Botong was a bit verbose, he was indeed a nice person.
Young people, if they all look sluggish, then they are not young people. What he said touched the heart of Zhou Botong. His hands kept giving Lin Tian a thumbs up under the table. Depending on the situation, he
I was rarely praised in front of my grandfather.
"Hahaha, Xiaotian, don't praise him too much. If you praise him too much, his tail will go up to the sky." Although Mr. Zhou said not to praise him, he still had a smile on his face.
After all, this grandson was educated by him. Lin Tian praising Zhou Botong is equivalent to praising Mr. Zhou, which shows that he has done a good job in tutoring. Mr. Zhou laughed heartily a few times, and then asked with a smile: "Xiao Tian
, I wonder if you are studying or doing something else now? As talented as you are in appraising jade, are you interested in learning to appraise jade? "
His words shocked Zhou Botong. Zhou Botong knew very well how prestigious his grandfather was in the jewelry and jade industry. He had never seen his grandfather think so highly of a young man.
"Mr. Zhou, I am still in my third year of high school, and I will take the college entrance examination in more than a month. I am very interested in appraising jade, but the college entrance examination is coming soon, so I may not have much time to learn about jade." Lin Tian is indeed interested in learning about jade.
, because he will make a lot of money from this pair of clairvoyant eyes in the future.
It would definitely be of great help if he could learn more about this aspect from this domestic jade appraisal authority. Lin Tian thought he could see through the inside of jade, but he didn't know what kind of jade was valuable and what kind of jade was ordinary.
What if he thought it was a piece of valuable jade, but in fact it was only worth a few hundred yuan, and he mistook a piece of jade worth millions for a stone? The joke would be huge.
Mr. Zhou nodded and said with a smile: "Well, the college entrance examination is indeed very important, but study also pays attention to the balance between work and rest. Why not take advantage of today to take a look at my collection of jade. Learning jade culture is to learn our Chinese gentleman's way.
It is said in the Book of Songs that the words of a gentleman are as warm as jade, and this is what it means."
Jade Lin Tian didn't understand, but Lin Tian didn't feel any pressure when playing with these ancient poems. With his photographic memory, Lin Tian's reading volume in the past few days was amazing. He knew that Mr. Zhou meant gentleman
As gentle as jade, he smiled and said: "Confucius also said that jade has eleven virtues, benevolence, wisdom, righteousness, etiquette, music, loyalty, faith, heaven, earth, virtue, and Tao."
"Hahaha, what Xiaotian said is so good. Let's go and have a look." Mr. Zhou was even happier than he had just praised his grandson. He stood up and walked towards the back of the living room.
Lin Tian was a little ashamed. He was not good at what he said. He was just saying what the saint said. He didn't know the way of a gentleman, but he acted with his heart. However, he was called a "bad guy" and "bastard" by the Xiao sisters.
The title is not at all like a gentleman. But seeing the old man so happy, Lin Tian was not willing to ruin the atmosphere.
Zhou Botong, who was walking behind, quietly grabbed Lin Tian, still looking resentful, looking like a wronged little daughter-in-law.
"Brother Lin Tian, you are really amazing. Not long after he came to my house, my grandfather made two exceptions. His tea leaves and jade collection were never allowed to be touched or touched by us. I can take a look at it today, but I have to ask
Thanks to you, my God, who is my real grandson?" Zhou Botong kept talking, pouring out his bitterness.
"Come on, you are my grandson, I won't fight with you." Lin Tian was so shocked that he hurriedly stayed away from him to prevent him from spitting on him.
Following Mr. Zhou to the back of the villa, he came to a locked room. Mr. Zhou took out the key from his pocket and opened the door gently. When Lin Tian entered, he was shocked by the scene inside. Not that
There are many kinds of jade in the room, but there is a giant jade in the middle of the room.
Involuntarily, Lin Tian looked at this giant piece of jade. The texture inside the jade is dense, without any cracks. The color is like an ink painting, black or thick or light, and white and snow-white. Some of these colors are like mountains, and some are like water flows. Overall, they look like mountains.
It looks like a realistic ink painting.
"Ten thousand miles of rivers and mountains," Lin Tian muttered in a low voice.
He had never seen such shocking jade. In his impression, jade was just jade pendants and jade bracelets placed in the glass counter, but he never expected that jade could be so magnificent.
"This is my grandpa's most cherished jade. The landscape painting on it was formed naturally without any exaggeration. Grandpa named it Wanli Rivers and Mountains." Zhou Botong said next to Lin Tian, and then whispered: "Someone opened it for grandpa.
The price was 500 million yuan, but grandpa didn’t sell it.”
Five hundred million! Lin Tian took a breath of air. He never imagined that a mere stone could be sold for five hundred million. This world is so crazy.
"Smelly boy!" Mr. Zhou had good ears. Hearing Zhou Botong's words, he hit him hard on the head and said dissatisfied: "Don't talk about 500 million, I won't buy it even if you give me 1 billion.
It was originally worthless, but in my eyes it was priceless."
In the eyes of some people, the things they love are priceless treasures. Just like ordinary gifts from their lovers, women will also feel that the affection is deep and the love is worth thousands of dollars. Of course, Lin Tian felt that he wanted to exclude the charming mistress he met yesterday.
"Mr. Zhou, this jade is so big, it must be the largest jade in the country. I don't know how heavy it is." Lin Tian walked around the giant jade and asked.
When Mr. Zhou talked about jade, he spoke of it as a treasure, and said with a smile: "Haha, this is not the largest jade. If we talk about the largest jade alone, it should be the Jade Emperor discovered in Xiuyan County. It is 25 meters high, with a maximum diameter of 30 meters, and a total volume of 25 meters.
