In Wang Baishun's eyes, Hou Qigui was really nothing.
Although Wang Baishun is not a core and powerful figure in the Wang family, he is still the Wang family, the number one family in the capital today. Even a dog of the Wang family has a large number of people trying to flatter him.
Although Hou Qigui is quite rich, and after an inventory of his assets, he must have several hundred million, but to put it bluntly, he is just a Panjiayuan shop owner with no background and no backer. If Wang Baishun didn't like antiques, he often played with Panjiayuan in Liulichang
Son, he wouldn't even look at Hou Qigui.
Just now, Wang Baishun told Rong Guangjie that he was attracted to a ring on a woman's hand.
Rong Guangjie also laughed at him: "Fourth Master, what's so rare about a ring? Is it worth all the trouble?"
Wang Baishun said: "Although I am not as good as Mr. Qin in terms of eyesight, I have never had an eye piercing in this industry. The ring on this woman's hand is definitely a good thing. I saw it in an ancient book
A ring of the same shape, it is said that this kind of ring has some mysterious energy and functions. I have never seen it on the market, and today is the first time I see it."
"Is it so evil? A ring, and it's related to occultism."
Although Rong Guangjie said this, he was also curious in his heart. Because his godfather Qin Shuyi especially liked to collect such mysterious things. And he knew that Qin Shuyi himself was also very mysterious, such as his famous "Ghost Hands" and "Sky Eyes"
”.
Qin Shuyi's nickname is "Sky Eyes and Ghost Hands". All his disciples know that this is not just a nickname, but Master Qin's real ability.
Wang Baishun said: "I don't know if it's evil or not. Anyway, if I see it, I won't let it go. When I get it, I will ask Mr. Qin to palm his eyes. If Mr. Qin likes it, I will give it to him as a birthday wish."
A congratulatory gift.”
Only then did Rong Guangjie understand Wang Baishun's thoughts and said with a smile: "Fourth Master, you haven't been to Panjiayuan for a long time. Are you here today to find a birthday gift for my godfather?"
Wang Baishun laughed: "You are smart, no wonder Master Qin loves you the most."
The wishful thinking was made loudly, and the bullshit was blown away. Now Hou Qigui suddenly appeared and said that he wanted Fourth Master to give him face and not buy that ring. How could Wang Baishun not be angry?
Rong Guangjie sat there with a smile, watching this interesting scene.
He wanted to know where Hou Qigui had the courage to ask Wang Baishun to save face.
Is face given casually? Who do you think Hou Qigui is? If I gave you face, wouldn’t the fourth master’s face be lost?
But Hou Qigui calmly put the tea bag in his hand on the table and took out a red tea box.
Seeing the box, Wang Baishun and Rong Guangjie both had contempt in their eyes.
Tea in this kind of box is considered high-end tea in the market and costs tens of thousands per pound. But in their eyes, this is nothing. In Rong Guangjie’s shop, the tea that is casually served to guests is the worst.
They all cost tens of thousands per pie.
Hou Qigui remained calm and opened the tea box. What was inside was not tea, but a rosewood box.
At this moment, Wang Baishun and Rong Guangjie's expressions changed slightly, and their eyes were fixed on the box.
Their eyesight could tell at a glance that this was a high-quality huanghuali, full of carvings, sharp and exquisite, and it was quite old, at least it was an old item from the previous dynasty.
This box alone costs at least hundreds of thousands.
Hou Qigui opened the box again. Inside was a layer of velvet. He opened the velvet and revealed a pair of small sapphire lions.
When Wang Baishun saw the pair of jade lions, he stood up from his chair and exclaimed in surprise: "Jasper lions and exquisite balls?!"
Hou Qigui said: "Fourth Master has good eyesight."
Rong Guangjie also had a look of surprise in his eyes and said: "I heard that the Jasper Lion Exquisite Ball was an impromptu work made by Rongmen Grandmaster Yidaochun after drinking. Yidaochun is known as the best swordsman in the capital, and is also said to be the fastest player in the world.
.This pair of jasper lion exquisite balls is the best proof of his swordsmanship. Since the battle between Rongmen and Yaomen, and Yidaochun died in Zhang Dian's hands, this thing has also lost traces. I didn't expect it to be in your hands.
."
Then he said with a little doubt, "It can't be fake, right?"
"Fourth Master, Master Rong, whether it is true or false, I don't care. You two are experts, please taste it." Hou Qigui said.
Rong Guangjie and Wang Baishun looked at each other.
Rong Guangjie took out two pairs of white gloves from the side and threw one pair to Wang Baishun.
The two put on gloves, and one person picked up a sapphire lion and held it in his hands to look at it carefully.
This lion is carved from a single piece of jasper without any impurities. The shape of the lion is lifelike and lifelike. And the most amazing thing is that there is a ball in the lion's open mouth.
This ball is called Linglong Ball, also called Ghost Ball. It has five inner and outer layers, each layer is independent, the outer four layers are hollow, and the innermost is a solid bead.
The exquisite ball itself is a very complicated craft, not to mention it is made so small that when taken alone, it is already a rare treasure.
And this thing is amazing. This exquisite ball and the lion are carved from the same piece of jade. In other words, the ball is carved in the lion's mouth. The key is that the ball is also independent in the lion's mouth.
, was bitten by a lion, the lion's teeth happened to become the outer axis of this exquisite ball, and the whole ball could rotate in the lion's mouth.
Rong Guangjie pinched the lion, took a small needle, inserted it into the exquisite hole of the exquisite ball, and gently moved it, and the fourth layer of spheres rotated around the beads inside. Then he moved the third layer, and the third layer
The layers rotate around the fourth layer. Repeatedly, the layers rotate until the outermost layer is reached. With a flick of the finger, the entire ball rotates in the lion's mouth.
The five-layered exquisite balls rotate continuously, and the friction sound they make is like the roar of a lion.
Rong Guangjie exclaimed: "It's really a miraculous craftsmanship!"
Wang Baishun said: "I've heard that Rongmen's sword skills are unparalleled in the world. I thought it was the kind of broadsword used by martial arts practitioners. I didn't expect Yu Weidiao to be so good at it."
Rong Guangjie said: "The Fourth Master comes from a wealthy family and doesn't know anything about the world. The Rongmen has been producing sharp knives since ancient times, but they all use small knives. A master from the Rongmen can hide the knife in the palm of his hand all day long, without delaying drinking tea and eating.
Even outsiders couldn't tell that he had a knife in his hand. It is said that there was a master from the Rongmen family in the previous dynasty who hid a knife in his hand and avoided the inspection of the Forbidden City. He went to assassinate the emperor and almost succeeded."
"It's a pity that this amazing skill has been lost since the death of Yidao Chun." After saying that, he glanced at the jade lion in his hand, "Only this thing reminds people of the style of Rongmen's quick sword in the past!"
Rong Guangjie was young, so he must have heard these past events from his godfather, Mr. Qin. From this, Wang Baishun judged that Mr. Qin must like this thing.
"Boss Hou," Wang Baishun put the jade lion back into the box with some reluctance, changed his attitude 180 degrees, and said politely, "The things are good things. I wonder if Boss Hou can part with me? Money is not an issue.
You give me a price, and I'll take whatever it is."
Hou Qigui smiled and said: "Fourth Master, I'm not here to sell anything. I won't sell this thing either."
Wang Baishun's face instantly turned a bit ugly. He thought that Hou Qigui's so-called favor was to exchange the pair of jasper lions for the woman's ring.
He was originally looking for a birthday gift for Mr. Qin, and this pair of lions was definitely more suitable than the ring. As for the price, he was willing to pay 20 million for the ring. For this thing, even if Hou Qigui asked for 100 million, he would not bargain.
"Boss Hou, are you kidding me? You're addicted to the eyes, and you want me to give you face?" Wang Baishun said displeased.
Hou Qigui smiled, put the pair of lions away, carefully covered them with flannel, then closed the lid of the box, pushed the box forward gently, and said:
"I won't sell this thing. But if Fourth Master likes it, I'll give it to you."
