Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter 606: White Jade Pixiu

…

"Okay, we want these!"

"Okay, wait a minute! The dishes will be served soon."

"Um! ... Bring us the tea and pastries first."

After answering, the waiter turned and left.

"I heard from Man Yun that Mr. Guo likes to collect antiques and jades?" Zhou Ziqi said.

"A little hobby that I found for myself when I was busy."

"So it is." Zhou Ziqi nodded and continued, "It will take a while for the dishes to come up. It happened that I just collected a good item from the Demon City Jade Hall yesterday. We will take advantage of this time and ask Mr. Guo to also Appreciate it for me."

"Mr. Zhou, I'm just a hobby, and I'm not proficient in antique appreciation."

"Haha, Mr. Guo doesn't have to be humble. Everyone is just playing, enjoy it, it's okay!"

Having said that, Zhou Ziqi has already taken a red brocade box on the table next to her. After opening it, it was pushed to the middle of the table.

"Mr. Guo, please see!"

"This is Pixiu!"

In the yellow soft lining, a palm-sized Hetian white jade Pixiu is in full bloom.

"It's Pixiu, Mr. Guo can play with it!"

"Then I'll be more respectful than obedient!"

When the words fell, Guo Shouyun took the Pixiu out of the box.

Pixiu, also known as warding off evil spirits or Tianlu, is a ferocious auspicious beast recorded in ancient Chinese books and folk myths and legends. The dragon's head, the body of the horse, and the feet of the linden are shaped like a lion, with gray-white fur and can fly.

Legend has it that Pixiu violated the laws of the heavens, and the Jade Emperor punished him to only feed on wealth from all directions, to swallow all things without diarrhea, to attract wealth and collect treasures, but only to not get in. He has special magical powers. After this allusion spread, Pixiu was regarded as an auspicious beast to bring wealth and treasure. Many Chinese people wear the jade products of the Pixiu because of this allusion. In ancient times, people often used Pixiu as the name of the army.

In ancient China, feng shui scholars believed that the Pixiu was a lucky beast that turned disaster into auspiciousness. Therefore, jade carvings of Pixiu are very common in both ancient and modern times.

However, the Pixiu in Guo Shouyun's hand, with a round jade and a thick pulp, has obviously been played with for a period of time.

"Master Yuantong?"

When he opened the belly of the Pixiu, an inscribed inscription in seal script appeared in his eyes.

"Does Mr. Guo know this layman Yuantong?"

Guo Shouyun glanced at Zhou Ziqi and smiled lightly.

"Jushi Yuantong is the name of Xie Shifang, a master of jade carving during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. Because of his poor family, he often lived in the nearby Yuantong Nunnery, so he has this posthumous title."

Zhou Ziqi nodded, "According to records, Xie Shifang lost his father and his family was poor, and his neighbor recruited him as an apprentice and brought him to Yangzhou to learn jade carving. He was sensitive and eager to learn, and completed it in three years. The jade carvings are exquisite and exquisite. Yang~zhou salt merchants competed to buy at high prices, and became famous. During the Qianlong period, he was summoned to the inner court of the imperial palace. One of his works, which is shaped like a half watermelon, has a green skin like emeralds, and a red inside like pearls. Those who see it are amazed. Emperor Qianlong loved it and hid it in the Yuanmingyuan. In 1860, when the British and French allied forces set fire to the Yuanmingyuan, it was acquired by the British army and sold to the magic capital. People who saw this jade article were amazed and thought it was a treasure. It's a pity that the current situation was chaotic at the time, and the whereabouts of this exquisite jade article have been unknown to this day! It's really embarrassing!"

Guo Shouyun smiled, picked up the Pixiu and looked at the dazzling sunlight outside. In the translucent white jade texture, there is a faint air, hazy, with a faint pink.

"Top suet white jade!"

Ordinary white jade, when viewed under the light, in addition to being pure white, there is also a faint yellow inside, and the yellow is light and heavy. And the top-level suet white jade has a touch of smoky air, with a faint pink color.

In addition, the hand feel of the two is different, the white jade is slightly dry; the white jade of the suet level is soft and soft, and it feels like a girl's soft weed.

After playing with it, Guo Shouyun put the white jade Pixiu back in the box.

"The top-quality Hetian suet white jade material is matched with the work of Zhou Shifang, a famous master in the Qing Dynasty. Looking at the pulp is not a clear tool. This Pixiu in Mr. Zhou's hand is a rare good thing that opens doors!"

"Mr. Guo has good eyesight!"

Guo Shouyun smiled lightly, and in the face of the praise, there was not much emotional change in his heart. This white jade Pixiu has distinct characteristics, even if he is just getting started in collecting, he can still see the quality of this thing. Of course, high imitation is another matter. However, as Zhou Ziqi, it is impossible to show him a high imitation product.

"you flatter me!"

"I've seen that Mr. is so proficient in jade appreciation. Do you want to come to your house and collect a lot of good jade?"

"There is an old saying: A gentleman is like jade. Chinese culture has a unique jade culture since ancient times. I am a Chinese, and I am naturally influenced by it."

Zhou Ziqi nodded, looked at the young man opposite, and pushed forward the box containing the white jade pixiu.

"I came here in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring any gifts. Since Mr. Guo likes to collect jade, then this Zhou Shifang's suet white jade Pixiu will be given to Mr. Guo."

When Zhou Ziqi took out this white jade Pixiu, Guo Shouyun guessed his purpose.

Facing Zhou Ziqi's staring at him, Guo Shouyun smiled lightly, then reached out to cover the box containing the Pixiu, and returned to the center of the table.

"Mr. Zhou, there is a saying that there is no merit and no reward. I am a little afraid to accept such a precious thing!"

"Mr. Guo is self-effacing. Millions of things are only a drop in the bucket compared to Mr. Guo's net worth. How can it be considered precious!"

"Sir, Miss, your dishes are ready!"

At this moment ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the waiter who pushed the food over broke the atmosphere of mutual respect between the tables.

After she set the dishes and left, Qiu Manyun said, "I think you should stop wasting your time here. After dinner, lay out your own terms and finish. If you can cooperate, you will accept the things. If you can't cooperate, take the things with you. Go back. Be quick!"

Hearing this, after Guo Shouyun and Zhou Ziqi looked at each other, they understood each other's plans.

"Mr. Guo, Yongfuhui's sauce chicken is the best in Shanghai, try it!"

"Good talk!"

The two tacitly agreed not to mention the matter of Baiyu Pixiu.

Because it is not a meal in itself, and there is not much to eat in the morning, Zhou Ziqi does not order many dishes. In addition, Guo Shouyun and Qiu Manyun both ate some breakfast when they came, so they simply ate some and stopped after tasting the taste.

After the three of them finished eating, they asked the waiter to remove the leftovers, and after changing a pot of tea, Tan Xing finally became strong again.

"Mr. Guo, I want to come to Manyun and briefly mentioned what I asked for before mentioning this meeting. Now that a few days have passed, I don't know how you think about it?"

Guo Shouyun pondered for a moment, "As China's top construction company, there is no problem with the strength of Huaxia Construction Corporation. However, we have been cooperating with Hong Kong's Cheung Kong Industrial Co., Ltd., and when there is no disagreement between the two parties and the cooperation is good, we rashly change the cooperation. It will affect the goodwill of our company.”

"Mr. Guo, Global Fund's reconstruction plan for the ruins of the Beijing World Style Garden is extremely ambitious, and a Cheung Kong Industrial Company may not be able to swallow it all!"
