When Xiao Xingyun arrived at Professor Wu's home holding the gift box, Gu Qingcheng had already arrived.

As a senior sister, she was very happy today. Finally, someone else became a disciple of the teacher, and she was no longer the youngest one.

The apprenticeship process in the new era is not as strict as before, so after Xiao Xingyun entered the door, he first presented gifts as an apprenticeship ceremony.

"Master, yesterday I bought two small items in Panjiayuan and gave them to you, the old man, so that you can help me with my eyes."

Before the apprenticeship started today, Xiao Xingyun had already changed his mind.

Wu Changyou was in good spirits and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll take a look first."

On the other side, Gu Qingcheng has already started pouring tea. He will keep it cold for later use and will let Xiao Xingyun give it to his master and his wife later when they serve tea.

Professor Wu took the sandalwood box. He did not open it, but he looked at the box for a long time and said with a smile: "This box is also an old object. It is the style of the Qing Dynasty. It is made of high-density rosewood and is worth at least tens of thousands of yuan."

Xiao Xingyun smiled and said: "Haha, is that right? This is given to me by the stall owner to store things. I don't know if it's worth it."

After hearing what he said, the wife and Gu Qingcheng became interested and came over to look inside the box.

The wooden box was opened, and the top was an ancient coin wrapped in paper towels. Everyone couldn't see what was wrapped, but they could see Luo Shuyan underneath.

Professor Wu put the wooden box on the table, and Xiao Xingyun hurriedly opened the tissue, revealing the ancient coins wrapped in transparent bags.

Although it is covered with green patina, the four large characters after cleaning are already very clear.

"Tianjuan Tongbao?" The three of them exclaimed, obviously recognizing this ancient coin, "And it is Tianjuan Tongbao in regular script with wide margins. This should be the second coin discovered so far. Although the quality is not good, it is

The price is not low, worth at least four to five million!"

Xiao Xingyun smiled modestly and said: "I spent 500 yuan to find it yesterday. The handwriting was unclear at the time. I soaked it in boiling water for a while and used a bevel knife to clean off the dirt on it, and then I could see the handwriting clearly.

I don’t know if it’s true or false, so I asked Master to identify it.”

"It's genuine!" Wu Changyou said very confidently, "You kid, you are so lucky. You can come across such a rare ancient coin. What else can I say?"

My wife is a painter from the Academy of Fine Arts. She has followed Wu Changyou all her life and knows a lot about antique appreciation.

She just heard that this was the apprenticeship ceremony that Xiao Xingyun had just bought yesterday afternoon. She was originally opposed to Wu Changyou accepting a disciple, fearing that his body would not be able to support it, but now she understands her wife's mood.ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ

At such a young age, with such a sharp eye, I guess I really have to count on him to inherit my wife's superb skills.

Although Gu Qingcheng is very hard-working and filial, his talent in appraising treasures and gambling is not as good as Xiao Xingyun.

Putting down the Tianjuan Tongbao, Wu Changyou picked up the Luo Shu Inkstone, saw the writing on it clearly, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"Luo Shu inkstone from the Song Dynasty? How is this possible? Isn't this inkstone stored in the National Palace Museum in Taiwan? Why is it here?"

Wu Changyou had seen this inkstone with his own eyes when he participated in academic exchanges before. The whole thing was almost exactly the same.

"This is a priceless treasure that cannot be measured by money. The overall characteristics are real and authentic. It is the same as the piece collected in the museum and belongs to a pair. If the people in the Imperial Palace Museum in the Imperial Capital know about it, they will buy it at a premium.

, even if the market price of ancient inkstones is not high, it is not a problem if they bid several million."

Hearing what Wu Changyou said, Xiao Xingyun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's true, there's nothing wrong with your eyes.

Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but ask: "Junior brother, how much did you get this inkstone for?"

"The price is a bit high, I bought it for eight thousand yuan." Xiao Xingyun replied sincerely.

"Huh?" Everyone was almost shocked. It's so cheap, and they say the price is a bit high?

"Hey, it looked like it was wrapped in a fake shell. I thought there was something wrong with the fake shell, so I took a risk, and it turned out that I was right." Xiao Xingyun said, taking out his phone and showing the photos taken yesterday.

, show it to everyone.

Seeing the appearance of the original bulky inkstone and seeing the photo of Xiao Xingyun smashing the fake shell, everyone could not say anything else but marvel.

"Xiao Xiao not only has a great talent for stone gambling, but also has a good talent for treasure appraisal. His future potential is immeasurable."

"Stop saying anything and hurry up and become a disciple!"

According to the previous rules of apprenticeship, one must first worship the ancestor, but most of Wu Changyou's abilities come from family inheritance and self-cultivation, and there is no ancestor.

Therefore, Xiao Xingyun knelt down directly, kowtowed to his master and his wife, and then served tea and offered the apprenticeship ceremony.

Wu Changyou and his wife accepted the tea offered by Xiao Xingyun and took a sip, thus accepting his apprenticeship.

The next step was to lecture. Wu Changyou did not have a long speech or strict rules as a teacher. He just smiled and said: "Follow me from now on and study hard. I don't have much time. I hope to pass on all my skills in my lifetime."

Here you go. You want to learn jade carving skills, but don’t just limit yourself to jade carving skills. You can also learn other skills as a teacher.”

"Okay, thank you, Master." Xiao Xingyun said respectfully.

The teacher's wife smiled and said: "If you have enough energy, you can also learn some painting skills from me. This is an indispensable basic skill when you are doing jade carving design."

"Thank you, Master. I will definitely learn painting skills from you when I have time." Xiao Xingyun thanked you again.

Wu Changyou continued: "Since it is a apprenticeship gift from you, I accepted it as a teacher. Although it is valuable, I will not be polite to you. When you leave, you can choose two from my rough stone collection room.

I will take away a rough jade stone as a gift in return. Haha, the stone you choose depends entirely on your ability."

"Thank you, Master. Then I won't be polite to you. When the time comes, I will make a good choice."

"Haha, that's exactly what it should be." Wu Changyou laughed.

Gu Qingcheng couldn't help but said: "Junior brother, if the jadeite rough cut you selected has increased in price, you must sell it to me. My jewelry company is seriously short of materials, so you have to help me."

"Sister, don't worry, I will definitely take care of my family's business." Xiao Xingyun promised, patting his chest.

I didn't dare to sell too many raw jade stones to Gu Qingcheng before, just because I was afraid of attracting the attention of the Gu family and causing unnecessary trouble.

Now that we are all in the same discipline, and with Professor Wu's reputation in the circle, we can save a lot of trouble.

The top quality materials stored at home can be sold to Gu Qingcheng appropriately.

Amidst chatting and laughing, the simple apprenticeship ceremony was completed.

The mistress called the nanny and went to prepare lunch.

Taking advantage of his good spirits, Professor Wu called Xiao Xingyun and Gu Qingcheng to the jade carving workshop and explained the carving techniques and techniques to them on the spot.

Although Gu Qingcheng has already learned the art of jade carving, and is even proficient in it, he still benefits a lot every time he sees Professor Wu carving his own works.

Professor Wu carved a blue and white seed-made landscape sign today. Xiao Xingyun thought of the blue and white seed-made landscape sign that the owner of the turquoise shop next door exchanged with him a few days ago.

The quality of the seed material for that piece of landscape sign is similar to this one, but the carving master is unknown, so the market price of that piece of landscape sign can only be sold for 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

However, after Wu Changyou carved this piece and added the signature, given his reputation and status in the circle, the price of this piece of blue and white seed material landscape sign could be sold for at least more than 200,000 yuan.

This is the added value of fame.
