Chapter 953 Emperor Xuantong’s roar to the sky

There is only so much that can be said. How the Lu family operates next is their business.

"As long as my health allows, I will definitely go to Kyoto to meet those old brothers."

The conversation at the dinner was all about interesting things, but Lu Zuoyi was obviously absent-minded. Li Mo had already told him so clearly that if he couldn't seize the opportunity, he would never take it in this life.

"Mom, what a beautiful dragon."

At this time, a three-year-old girl walked out of the room holding a jade carving in her hand, waving the dragon carving in her hand as she walked.

Li Mo heard the news and saw that the little girl was so cute. Sitting in another seat of the Lu family, a woman in her twenties or eighty-year-old stood up quickly and ran to her side, took it from her hand and shouted in a low voice: "Follow her."

You said you couldn't enter grandpa's study, why can't you remember it?"

Probably because the woman's tone was too harsh, the little girl burst into tears.

Lu Zuoyi could not help but frown and said: "The child is only three years old, what can he know?"

The girl's mother gently placed the jade dragon on the main table, then picked up the little girl and comforted her softly.

The jade-carved dragon was placed on the table, close in front of him. Li Mo couldn't help but take a few more glances. With the help of the light, the more he looked at it, the more extraordinary he felt. Since it was difficult to get started directly, he had to sweep his eyes with his eyes and saw the jade-carved dragon transmitting a faint light.

The gray halo then turned into circles of light and spread out.

In the dense circle of light, the shadow of a dragon can be faintly seen.

This jade dragon carving is by no means simple. Judging from the reaction of the strange pupils, it is 100% the product of the imperial palace in the late Qing Dynasty.

Li Mo withdrew his gaze. No wonder the girl's mother's face changed when she saw her daughter taking it out and waving it. Even if such a treasure has the slightest bump, it will be an irreparable loss and a tragedy for the national treasure.

"If the child likes it, let her play for a while." Mr. Lu still cared about the child very much and protected her.

"Sister-in-law, I bought this dragon sculpture from a farmer when I traveled to Northeast China. I thought it was of good quality, so I brought it to my grandpa to play with. The child didn't understand what it was, so he took it out to play with if he thought it was beautiful. But

Can't blame her."

Li Mo felt a little strange when he heard these words. Don't they know what this is?

"Mr. Lu, can I see this jade carving?"

"Haha, we happen to have a master appraiser here. Li Mo, you can take a look at it and then talk to us. This jade dragon sculpture was just bought by my Shao Min the day before yesterday. I haven't had time to think about it yet, but judging from the material and feel, it should be

It’s a good thing.”

When Li Mo started to buy it, he felt that this jade was warm, dense, translucent and pure, and as white and flawless as gelatin. This was the best mutton-fat jade among Hotan jade. Looking at the shape of the dragon carving, it looks like it is roaring towards the sky, with extraordinary momentum.

.

He turned it over and looked at the sky and roared, and found two tiny engraved characters on the dragon's teeth that were very hidden and difficult to spot if the lighting was not right or if the observation was not careful.

The two characters on the micro carving are: Xuantong!

No wonder there is a strange phenomenon happening in this sky-looking roar. It is actually the beloved treasure of Emperor Xuantong, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.

"Mr. Li, what is the quality of this jade carving I found?"

Lu Shaomin is Lu Zuoyi's daughter. She just graduated this year. She looks like her mother. She also looks like she has good facial features, but there is still a slight gap between her and her beauty.

"How much did you pay for it?"

Lu raised two fingers: "Twenty thousand. The other party originally asked for fifty thousand, but I reduced the price to twenty thousand and the deal was made."

"Do you have any intention of changing hands?"

When Li Mo asked this question, everyone became interested. It seemed that this dragon sculpture was a good thing.

Lu Shaomin was well aware of Li Mo's strength. Seeing him ask this question, he smiled mischievously and said, "This is a treasure I found on my own. How much are you willing to pay if you want to buy it?"

Li Mo thought for a moment and raised a finger.

"One hundred thousand?"

Li Mo shook his head.

"One million?"

Li Mo still shook his head.

Everyone in the Lu family looked at him.

Lu Shaomin didn't dare to guess. Could the thing he bought for twenty thousand be worth ten million?

"With my understanding of the market conditions, I can bid 100 million."

Lu Shaomin's mouth was slightly open, his face full of shock. The other people in the Lu family were also in a daze, as if they had heard some myth.

"Of course, for such a national treasure, if you feel dissatisfied with the price, you can make a bid yourself. If I feel it is still acceptable, I can also make a deal."

One hundred million can be added to the price. What kind of treasure is this dragon sculpture? It even makes Li Mo, a great treasure appraiser, excited.

Mr. Lu coughed lightly at this moment, which made everyone calm down.

"Li Mo, please tell me first what is this?"

"Then let me talk briefly. In mythology, it is often said that a dragon gave birth to nine sons. The third son of the dragon is called Pulao. Its sound can shake the sky, so it is also called Wangtianhou. In ancient times, Wangtianhou was generally used as a tomb guard.

The beast appears and is usually found in the tombs of royal relatives and nobles.

The shape of Wangtianhou is used to guard tombs and ward off evil spirits. In the minds of the people, Wangtianhou is an auspicious, beautiful, mighty, majestic, and unbullying image. Its shape is somewhat like a unicorn or Pixiu. The image of this jade carving is Wangtian

roar."

"Looking at it as a whole, this Wangtianhou is twelve centimeters high and eight centimeters wide. It sits on a cube of jade that is ten centimeters wide and three centimeters high. The jade material carved is Hetian jade or Hetian jade.

The most exquisite mutton-fat jade, even the mutton-fat jade material itself is worth a lot of money."

Lu Shaomin still had difficulty connecting Wangtianhou with 100 million. She asked puzzledly: "But Mr. Li, no matter how expensive it is, it can't reach the ceiling of 100 million, right?"

Li Mo smiled and continued: "I will tell you a story, and you will understand it after listening to it. It is said that the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty was called Emperor Xuantong. Everyone here must know this man. This man loved jade very much.

For jade, he had a piece of Wangtianhou carved from top-grade mutton-fat jade beside him. He liked it extremely much. He liked it so much that Emperor Xuantong actually wanted to carve it into a jade seal and use it. It has become a symbol of the imperial palace.

The most precious treasure in the palace."

"Of course, his idea did not come true, because China changed and he was forced to abdicate. When he left the Forbidden City, he took the mutton-fat jade Wangtianhou with him. Later, when he became the emperor of the Puppet Manchukuo, that piece

Wangtianhou was also placed solemnly in the palace by him

Appreciating it every day. Later, because Emperor Xuantong lived in poverty, the old eunuch around him deceived him into selling the treasure when he saw it, and sold it to a patriotic antique dealer. Later, the Japanese army wanted to seize the treasure, and the patriotic antique dealer

I smashed it in front of them."

After he finished telling it, Lu Shaomin became more and more confused. This story seemed to have nothing to do with the roaring incident.

However, Lu Zuoyi came to his senses and couldn't help but said: "Mr. Li, you mean that the patriotic businessman's piece of junk is actually not the real Emperor Xuantong's piece of Wangtianhou."

"What is recorded in the history books can only be used as a reference. If the real body has not been born, then the historical records are ironclad evidence. But if the real body of Wangtianhou appears in history, it means that the historical records are only to protect the real thing.

The most precious treasure. Miss Lu spent 20,000 to find this Wangtianhou, which is the historical treasure of Emperor Xuantong."

What Li Mo said must make sense, but how could the Lu family believe it with just a mouthful of words?

"The irrefutable proof is here."

Li Mo took out his mobile phone and turned on the light to shine on Wangtianhou's two flawless white dragon teeth. The font was very small, but under the close proximity of the light, people with sharp eyes could finally see it.

"It's the word Xuantong."

Lu Shaomin was so excited. She really didn't expect that she would actually find a national treasure with her own hands. Judging from Li Mo's attitude, the weight of the national treasure was very high.

Mr. Lu had a look of contemplation on his face. To be honest, once this national treasure of Emperor Xuantong's Wangtianhou changes hands, the Lu family will be rich and noble. Another thing that will happen is that his son will also become a thorn in the eyes of others.

This national treasure will become a stumbling block in his life.

"Zuo Yi, what do you think?"

Lu Zuoyi understood the mystery after thinking for a moment. This thing was bought by the woman Shao Min. If it was only a few tens of millions, it would be worth hundreds of millions. Once the news of such an astonishing price spreads, it will be very difficult.

It may become a target for others to attack. Now that its true identity is known, it has become a hot target.

"Mr. Li, I'm afraid this may be a bit troublesome."

Li Mo had come into contact with many big bosses from various parties, so as soon as Mr. Lu and Lu Zuoyi spoke, he thought of the subtleties involved.

"Well, if Miss Shaomin doesn't want to change hands, she can temporarily store it in my Gu Yunxuan Museum for exhibition. Of course, both of us can ask a lawyer to be a witness. It would be a bit of a loss for a national treasure like this to change hands. Maybe in ten years, the second

In ten or thirty years, the value of the Emperor Xuantong's Wangtian Roar may exceed 200 million, 300 million, 500 million, or even more. Keeping it and passing it on from generation to generation can be regarded as a kind of confidence for the family's rejuvenation."

This suggestion is good, very good, and it is a tailor-made solution for the Lu family.

"Li Mo, just follow your method."

Mr. Lu no longer hesitated, he was very decisive. This attitude also told Li Mo that the Lu family had complete trust in Li Mo.

"Then I will arrange for someone to come and take over."

This unexpected episode made everyone in the Lu family noticeably more energetic. The son of the boss finally had a chance to intervene. He stepped forward and said very politely: "Mr. Li, I also have some connections in Yun Province. You

If there is any big investment project here, I can do something for you."

His heart had already been soaring. What Li Mo said at the dinner table made him judge that Li Mo would definitely make a big move in Yun Province. If he could form a cooperative relationship with him, wouldn't it be

Soaring into the sky.

Li Mo glanced at him meaningfully and said slowly: "I can only choose one, either you or Mr. Lu. Once you cooperate with Mr. Lu, not only will you not be able to get close, you will also have to stay away."
