Chapter 22 The lion opens his mouth?
When everyone heard Qi Xiang demanded a price of one million, they subconsciously felt that he either had the courage of the bear heart or the leopard, or the gain or loss, otherwise how could the lion speak out loud?
At the beginning, when I saw Qi Xiang stretching out a finger, some people thought he had offered 10,000 yuan, and secretly praised this person for being smart and sensible, and knew how to sell well...
Who knows that this is not ten thousand, but one million. A pair of walnuts actually offered a price of one million. Do you really treat Chen Biexue or the Chen family as a sucker?
That’s right, the Chen family is not short of money, but it doesn’t mean that Chen Biexue is a big fat sheep, and you can slaughter it at will.
For a moment, everyone's eyes changed when they saw Qi Xiang, and they were ridiculed, despised, and sympathized.
I originally thought that Qi Xiang was a smart person and had a chance to climb to a high school and had a bright future. Who knew that he was actually a fool and ruined his future.
"A man, you really can't be greedy. Once you are greedy, you will be obsessed with profit and be obsessed with ghosts, you will be done."
"It is really unwise to make people blinded by their vigilance..."
Some people sighed and took the opportunity to teach their younger generations a lesson by taking examples.
"puff!"
At the same time, the clouds burst out with a thunderous thunder, laughing, and turned around and shouted, "Brother Jiang, your secretary... really has a personality. Is that what you usually teach him?"
Jiang Baiwan's face darkened, and his expression was gloomy and gloomy. He couldn't figure it out, Qi Xiang was usually very clever and eye-catching, why did he get messed up today?
Chen Biexue didn't laugh, her voice was normal, and she didn't make any noise: "Give me a reason."
Qi Xiang smiled and stretched out her hand.
Chen Biexue's eyes stopped, and his hands were playing with walnuts, as if he was reluctant to leave, so he slowly returned the walnuts.
Qi Xiang grabbed the walnut and circled slowly. Unlike Chen Biexue, when he was playing with the walnut, the walnuts were silent, which was called Wenpan.
While playing with the plate, Qi Xiang said, "This is a walnut in Wenwan, also known as a palm bead. Kneading every day can unblock the tendons and veins, nourish the internal organs, regulate the deficiency and excess, stabilize qi and blood, and maintain the normal functions of the human body."
"Because the skin of walnuts is thick and hard, after long-term rubbing by hands, the infiltration of sweat, the penetration of oil, and the polishing of time, it will eventually become a bright and transparent red, and the red is transparent, not a natural art masterpiece that is better than agate."
Qi Xiang raised her hand and signaled, "That's what my pair of walnuts is."
"Nonsense." Yun Zhongwu glanced at him and said, "Old Wei, you are an expert. Tell me, how much does the best quality walnut cost?"
"That's right, it's hard to say..." Mr. Wei said carefully: "It depends on the quality, the quality, the type... If it is a famous walnut, and the quality is perfect, the price will naturally be higher."
"Old Wei, don't say it's empty." Yun Zhongwu said incisively: "Just tell us if there are millions of walnuts on the market."
"I haven't heard of this before." Wei Ye said frankly, because this is a fact and cannot be covered up.
Mr. Wei is an old man. He said he had never heard of it, so he must have never heard of it. This also proved that Qi Xiang was really speaking out at the lion. This is what is called blinded by interests and he didn't even know how to write the word "death".
Many people shook their heads gently with a mockery light in their eyes. The evil done by heaven can be forgiven, but they can't live if they commit sins.
"It is said that the best walnuts nowadays, the market price of old lion-headed walnuts in some years is at most 100,000."
Among the crowd, there were also those who knew what they were doing, and said: "The second young master gave 100,000 yuan, which is very fair and reasonable. As for one million...haha, that's a joke."
"That's right, that's..." Others echoed.
They have money, status, and status. As long as things are really worth the money, they definitely don’t care about spending more money. But on the other hand, it doesn’t mean they are stupid and can be cheated at will.
For a moment, Qi Xiang became the target of public criticism, and many people have sentenced him to death.
"How is it, do you still have to continue to argue?" Yun Zhongwu was so sarcastic that he could not hit Jiang Baiwan. Then it seems that it is a good choice to find some place on Qi Xiang.
Who told Jiang Baiwan to claim that Qi Xiang is his secretary? Regardless of whether it is true or false, he has been angry anyway. If you blame Qi Xiang for his bad luck and following the wrong person...
The clouds were filled with cold eyes, and the knife was sharpened toward the cattle and sheep.
Qi Xiang glanced at the corner of her mouth and said calmly: "Other walnuts are not worth a million, it doesn't mean that my walnuts are not worth it."
Yun Zhongwu stopped talking, but just smiled coldly. He was not interested in tangling the stubborn person. Doing so was to lower his identity.
"Evidence!" Chen Biexue said concisely.
"Yes..." Qi Xiang was also happy and placed the walnuts in her hand on the table next to her.
The walnuts stand upright, very circumcised. They are twisted in rolls, very exquisite and beautiful. Under the light, a touch of red luster is as crystal clear as a gem, exquisite and translucent, pleasing to the eye.
Even if a person with prejudice is seen by this pair of walnuts, he must admit that the things are really good. However, no matter how good the walnut is, it will be affected by innate factors and cannot reach a sky-high price of one million.
"What a pity." Someone whispered to himself, not knowing whether it was a pity for people or something.
Qi Xiang ignored the others and pointed at the walnut and talked: "This is a short stake lion's head, with straight stakes, fine lines, thick edges, gentle like a gentleman, honest like a wise man..."
Chen Biexue suddenly felt a little impatient on his face: "Don't go around, just talk about the key points."
"Okay, I mean, don't look at walnuts that are ordinary, they can be seen everywhere. But in ancient times, it was the treasure in the hands of emperors and generals."
Qi Xiang smiled and said, "Historical records show that Emperor Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty not only kept playing with walnuts, but also carved walnuts himself. Therefore, the unofficial history of playing walnuts to forget the state affairs, and Zhu Youxiao's imperial case was spread to the people."
"In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong was even a master of appreciating walnuts and wrote a poem to praise walnuts."
While speaking, Qi Xiang took out a fist-sized magnifying glass in her briefcase and gestured: "No, it's this poem..."
Chen Biexue's eyes flashed brightly, and he rushed over with a quick glance and looked down.
Under the lens, the small walnut immediately enlarged several times. The texture like a ball of flowers was even more thick like chopsticks. Chen Biexue could see clearly and clearly under the instructions of Qi Xiang.
A walnut has a line of small characters on the thick edge.
The characters are like silk hair, as if they are carved as finely as needle tips. The font is thin and elegant, as if the calligraphy masters have their hands. Every word is like pearls, arranged in an orderly manner, full of the beauty of ancient charm.
Chen Biexue looked at it, her pupils contracted, and she recited lightly: "The sun and the moon are whirling on her palms, and time is about to flow back. The qi and blood are surging around her body. When will she be white in her head?"
"Yes, it's this poem." Qi Xiang moved his hand and then stabilized it: "Of course, the most important thing is this poke. Well, it should be called a mark, a clerk!"
"Classic?" Chen Biexue narrowed his eyes slightly, watched for a moment, then frowned and said, "Seal characters...what is the intention, what's the matter..."
"The Office of the Yangxin Palace?" In an instant, Master Wei was shocked and moved like a rabbit, and flew towards him.
"What's the situation?" Seeing this, the others looked at each other and vaguely felt that something had changed.
After carefully examining the slightly engraved marks, Mr. Wei was very excited: "It's really the Building Office of the Yangxin Palace..."
Someone couldn't help but asked, "So what, is there anything strange?"
"You don't understand." Mr. Wei waved his hand, but did not mean to explain. Instead, he stared at the walnut carefully, as if he wanted to see through the marks on the walnut and distinguish the true or false.
At the right time, Qi Xiang kindly explained: "You have never heard of the Yangxin Palace Building Office. So the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Qing Dynasty should have heard of it."
"The Palace Office?" The others were moved and thoughtful.
Thanks to the spread of Qing palace operas, people are familiar with some institutions and departments of the Qing court. For example, many people have heard of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and know that it is a very powerful department.
It seems that the famous Heshen once served as Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Qi Xiang explained in detail: "The Qing Dynasty established a construction office, which was specially designed to manufacture various utensils, daily necessities and artworks needed by the court. Later, as the scale of the royal family, royal family and official groups continued to expand, the construction office also faced unprecedented pressure."
"In order to meet all needs, the construction office is divided into two parts. One is the construction office of the Yangxin Palace, which is dedicated to the cost of the palace, and the other is the construction office of the Interior Office located on the north side of the Interior Office."
A smile appeared on Qi Xiang's mouth: "Now there is the mark of the building office of the Yangxin Palace on the walnuts. So, I believe everyone should know what the origin of the thing is."
"Tribute!"
"Royal royal supplies!"
Everyone's hearts moved, it was not difficult to draw such a conclusion.
After reaching such a conclusion, the group of people were stunned and looked at each other. If walnuts are really royal products, then it doesn’t seem too much to offer a price of one million.
Speaking of which, this is also a normal state. No matter what it is, if it is related to the royal family, its value will increase several times immediately, and it is very popular among the world.
This may be a matter of mentality, but we must also admit that ancient royal products have always been a guarantee of quality. With the efforts of the whole country, we can support such a small group of people and make things that are perfect and spare no effort. Can it be bad?
"It's true or fake, not fake."
In addition to being shocked, some people also had such suspicion.
No one spoke because the more a person has a status, the less likely he will draw conclusions in uncertain circumstances. It would be fine if the conclusion is right, but if it is wrong, he would be slapped in the face on the spot.
Everyone's eyes were gathered on Mr. Wei, and he glanced at Qi Xiang from time to time, with a complicated look. Perhaps, they might not have overestimated their abilities and spoke up, but instead offered a real price?
No one noticed that without realizing it, the little figure Qi Xiang became the focus of public attention.
Of course, some people noticed it, but they would not admit it. Yun Zhongwu stood aside, not only his eyes were gloomy, but his expression was cold as ice, and he was a little annoyed...
