Chapter 64: The shogunate’s control

Lu Dongxing was sitting in the passenger seat. He couldn't help but stretched his head back and stared at the wooden box in Yang Bo's arms. "Is there anything strange about this wooden box?"

Having said that, he reached out and took it. Copy the URL to visit.

As soon as he took the wooden box into his hands, he felt his hand feel heavy. This surprised Lu Dongxing. He stared at the wooden box and looked at it carefully.

The square wooden box has a simple and natural shape. The surface of the wooden box is thickly coated with lacquer, and some figures are carved on it. Due to the passage of time, these decorations have been darkened by the lines and the whole has been smoothed, making it difficult to see the painted content.

Lu Dongxing weighed it again, "What's in this wooden box? It's almost the same as ordinary lacquerware."

Cao Yuande reached out and took it, "Let me take a look!"

The car got higher and faster, and the trees outside the window moved backwards. The bodyguard car behind it seemed to never exist, but it was always not far away.

Cao Yuande put down the box and was puzzled, "The drawing style doesn't feel like Chinese."

Yang Bo took the box back again, "Professor Cao, how did you tell that I was interested in the box and not the jade pendant?"

"Because you have different attitudes towards the two!" Cao Yuande pointed at Yang Bo's current posture and laughed.

Yang Bo was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized. Even when he handed the Jade Guanyin to Lu Dongxing, he still held the lacquer box in his arms, and the Jade Guanyin is still hanging on his hand, showing that he doesn't care much about it.

Look.

Yang Bo smiled slightly and took out the wooden box, "Fortunately, no one knows it. This lacquer box is not from China, but from Japan!"

"Japanese?" Lu Dongxing was greatly surprised. He turned around and reached out to pick up the lacquer box again. This time, he also became careful.

"I wonder if you have noticed the pattern on the lacquer box. The monster carved in the pattern is not a Chinese one, but a Japanese wet woman!"

Yang Bo explained, "This pattern is also based on the story of a wet woman. A wet woman is an amphibious monster that swims very fast. Its head is a human woman and its body is a huge snake. Legend has it that it can be seen along the river bank.

A wet woman is combing its long, silky head."

"The story depicted in this painting is that a wet woman brings a child to attract people. When a kind person wants to help the wet woman hold the child, the child will connect itself with that person.

, and becomes heavier and heavier, making it impossible for the person to escape, while the wet woman uses its long and powerful tongue to suck the other person's blood!"

Yang Bo was not attracted by the decoration at first, but because the aperture displayed by this box was actually thicker than the Jade Guanyin. Upon closer inspection, Yang Bo discovered the problem with the decoration!

From beginning to end, Cao Yuande never thought that this lacquer box could be made in Japan. It was not until Yang Bo finished explaining that he understood the origin of the decoration.

Yang Bo pointed to an inconspicuous seal on the lacquer box, "There is also a seal here, but I don't know which one it is?"

Cao Yuande smiled and said: "This is easy to handle. I will take a photo of the seal and pass it on to an old friend. Someone will recognize it!"

Yang Bo handed over the paint box, and Cao Yuande took a picture of it with his mobile phone. He did not rush to pass it on, but called to confirm that the other party could receive it, and then passed it on.

After waiting for a long time, there was no response. Cao Yuande himself was a little anxious, but he advised Yang Bo, "Don't be anxious. It should be that the pixels of the mobile phone are too low and the picture is not clear. He wants to confirm!"

Not long after Cao Yuande said that, his cell phone rang.

"Kano Masanobu? Who is this?"

Cao Yuande was a little surprised after hearing the other party's explanation. He turned on the hands-free mode so that the other party's voice could be heard in the car.

"Kano Masanobu was a royal painter during the Ashikaga Shogunate period and the founder of the Kano School. Existing calligraphy and paintings by Kano Masanobu are extremely rare. Where did you get this seal? It doesn't look like calligraphy or painting!"

The people on the other side were also surprised. After all, being able to take the seal meant that at least there was a work here!

"This is from a lacquer box."

"What? Paint box? Lao Cao, take out a coin now and gently scratch the painting lines on the paint box!"

"Shaving lines?"

Although he had doubts, Cao Yuande still did it, but after a few scrapes, he was stunned. The stains were removed, and the lacquer box decoration was shining with gold and silver!

"Why is it flashing? What's going on?" Cao Yuande asked.

"This is a royal item from the shogunate period! It is used by the shogunate!"

Yang Bo was also shocked. He had only thought that this was a Japanese lacquer box and that it might be more valuable than the Jade Guanyin inside, but now it seems that the value is more than a little higher!

Lu Dongxing was even more surprised and said: "It seems that the one who gained the most from this trip is not me, but you!"

Saying this, Lu Dongxing felt a little regretful. At that time, when Yang Bo stopped recommending, he should have thought of this day, but later, he did not take these things seriously. He did not expect that Yang Bo would actually

Have such a vision!

Cao Yuande put down the phone, stared at the lacquer box in Yang Bo's hand, and sighed, "I really didn't expect that this lacquer box has such a great origin!"

"Congratulations! Congratulations!"

The atmosphere in the car was a little quiet, but Lu Dongxing was actually happy and generous. With his financial resources, he would not be jealous of Yang Bo's lacquer boxes, but he felt that picking up leaks would be a satisfying and satisfying thing!

"Congratulations!" Li Er, who was driving, also smiled.

…

Before getting off the car, Lu Dongxing suddenly asked: "Brother Yang, I wonder if you can give this lacquer box to me? I'll pay five million!"

Yang Bo was too embarrassed to refuse in a hurry. He pointed to the store not far away, "Boss Lu, did you see that the store that is being renovated is my new one. I basically disposed of the items on hand some time ago.

The store is about to open, and we are missing something that will be a great addition to our store.”

Lu Dongxing immediately understood what Yang Bo meant, "Brother Yang is really young and promising. He has taken over the shop and became the owner so early. I wish my brother a prosperous business!"

Yang Bo and Cao Yuande got out of the car together. When the car was far away, Cao Yuande pointed at the car and said: "I will try my best to take less appraisal work like this in the future. This incident is indeed a lesson. I almost got an eye-opener."

Yang Bo quickly said: "Eye punching is normal, this time it was just an accident!"

Cao Yuande waved his hand, "You don't need to persuade me. In fact, it's not just for this reason. My job may have to be transferred."

"Transfer? Aren't you a professor? Are you going to do other jobs?" Yang Bo was surprised.

"I'm going to the State Administration of Cultural Heritage." Cao Yuande explained, "I'm mainly responsible for the Museum and Social Cultural Relics Department. I'm going to preside over the work. We've already talked about the organization, and I should be taking office soon!"

Yang Bo didn't know exactly how big the position was, but being in charge of a department would probably lead to a promotion. "Congratulations! From now on, I can't call you Professor Cao, but Director Cao!"

Cao Yuande waved his hand, "Don't tell anyone, the documents haven't been released yet."
