What does this discomfort come from?

Lu Zian was very sure that it was the first time he had seen this jade.

He frowned slightly and looked at it, then turned to get the towel.

After wiping his fingers clean, he reached out and picked up the piece of jade.

This is not a sage.

Wan, the jade in the mouth of the dead.

Things that are contained in the mouth include beads, shells, jade, coins, etc., but the most commonly used is cicada-shaped jade.

One is to take the meaning of the nobleness of the cicada;

Second, the cicada pupa turns into a cicada, like the soul of the dead begins a new life.

"Biography of Qu Yuan" records that cicadas shed in turbidity, floating in dust, and not gaining the dirt of the world.

Under the influence of the concept of "a gentleman will not get rid of his body without reason", the jade cicada that symbolizes nobility is more popular.

Generally, jade cicada ornaments have holes. If they have no holes, they may be jade pendants.

The jade ornament with long characters in front of me has a larger through hole on both sides, which can be worn with strips or hooked heads. From the shape, it is a waist decoration.

In the middle is the character "Shou" and a turtle carved in front of the lower round bamboo-joint ring, with Ganoderma lucidum next to it.

The turtle mouth spits clouds and smoke, and the right side of the character "Shou" is a flying crane.

Turtle, crane, and Ganoderma lucidum all contain the meaning of longevity. The central part uses the carved word "Shou" to highlight the theme, and the word "Zhu" is homophoned by bamboo, and the overall meaning of "Immortals celebrate their birthdays".

Lu Zian slowly stroked the jade ornament, thinking about something.

Not long after, Qu Duodou arrived.

After she came in, she wiped her sweat and smiled at Lu Zi'an: "Master Lu, thank you, I'll take the safe first!"

"Wait a minute." Lu Zian sat upright at the table, with her jade in front of him: "Come here."

She's in a hurry...

Although it was a little strange, Qu Duodou came over subconsciously: "What's wrong?"

"Your jade..." Lu Zi'an pointed to the jade ornament, with a slightly locked eyebrows: "Look at if this is your home?"

Qu Duodou calmed down his breath, looked at him hesitantly before setting his eyes on the jade ornament.

Exquisite carving, double-layer carving and openwork, such a skill is extremely rare, and this is ancient jade, with a very unique shape, and it is a rare top-quality piece.

She confirmed it again and then nodded: "Yes, it's this piece of jade, what's wrong?"

Lu Zi'an was not sure, and he tapped his fingertips on the table, glanced at her and said, "This jade... I feel something is wrong."

Any questions?

Qu Duodou was stunned for a moment.

She stared at the jade blankly and stammered: "No, it's impossible, Master Lu, could it be that you read it wrong... This was left to my grandma for my mother, and she didn't even give it to her uncle...they..."

"I don't know much about jade either. I just feel it's wrong." Lu Zian frowned and thought for a while, pondered: "Well... it may be more appropriate to say that intuition? Have your grandma ever said what dynasty this jade is from?"

dynasty……

Qu Duodou nodded anxiously: "Some, some said that grandma said it was from the Song Dynasty..."

Song Dynasty.

Lu Zian did not reply immediately, but lowered his eyes and pondered.

His fingertips tapped gently on the table, and sounds seemed to hit Qu Duoduo's heart.

Finally, he stopped.

Lu Zi'an looked at Qu Duoduo gently and said calmly: "The jadeware in the Song Dynasty highlights the word "clever" and is more good at using multiple animals and patterns that combine plant patterns to set off each other. Therefore, it is still possible that this jade ornament is from the Song Dynasty, but it is relatively rare, but I still recommend that you find a professional to identify it."

Although he couldn't tell the truth about it, his intuition told him that this jade didn't look real.

After leaving the Lu family, Qu Duodou was still in a state of confusion.

Originally, she was going to keep Yu at Lu Zi'an's place, but she took the safe back and asked her uncle and others to compete for her, but now she was a little shaken.

If Lu Zian was not sure, he would never say such words.

He himself is a master of wood carving, and it is normal for him to not have a special understanding of jade, but the master's intuition is sometimes more terrifying than the appraiser.

It is more of enlightenment than intuition.

She sat in the car and hesitated for a long time, but finally turned around and went to the house of a respected old man.

Finally, with the final conclusion, she returned home in a daze.

Her mother was crying again, and her uncle and aunt were making trouble, and the family was uneasy.

Seeing her coming back with a safe, everyone's eyes lit up and ran towards her directly.

"Don't move!" Qu Duoduo suddenly came to his senses and raised the safe high: "If you dare to come and rob me, you will fall it. Don't want anyone!"

"Hey, don't, don't, let's have something to say."

Qu Duoduo recalled the teacher's affirmative expression and made a fuss: "I don't want to get entangled with you anymore. In this way, you will make a note and return this jade to you. You will never come to us again, and we will not care about how you deal with this jade."

Her mother was so anxious that she stared at her eyes, but she couldn't speak.

My uncle nodded in surprise and hurriedly took out the paper and pen at her prompt, writing so quickly.

Seeing that all of them pressed their fingers and signed the letter, Qu Duodocai put the safe on the table with indifferent expression: "You all confirm that this is indeed my grandma's jade."

After careful study by several people, even the cracks were compared, and the uncles left arrogantly.

Dad Qu looked at all this in a daze, opened his mouth, but said nothing, sighed and comforted his wife in a low voice.

After they all left, Qu Duoduo sat back on the sofa.

Her mother sat opposite her and stared at her in a daze, her eyes full of sadness, as if she was puzzled and questioning.

"Mom, that piece of jade... has grandma told you... it's fake?" Qu Duoduo didn't hesitate and directly said what had happened just now: "It's enough for so long. If this is a real piece of jade, I will definitely fight with my uncle and the others for the sake of grandma. But in the end, this is a fake piece, so there is no need to argue anymore. If you really can't bear to bear it, I will buy it for you after my uncle and the others sell it."

Anyway, it is fake, and no one will treat it as a treasure and are reluctant to take action.

After confirming it over and over again, it was fake, and Qu’s father and mother were stunned.

"The master said it was a piece of scraps. I don't know why my uncle and others were so sure that it was priceless, but what I can be sure of is that it is indeed fake, not from the Song Dynasty, not even from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It should be modern craftsmanship. Although it is also jade, its total value will not exceed 20,000."

In order to appease Qu's mother, Qu's father thought about it and got up and took out a short stool from the inner room.

As soon as he opened it, Qu Duoduo was scared.

After the stool was opened, six pieces of warm jade were quietly lying inside. Usually, the stool was stuffed under her father's table as a footstool. Her uncle and aunt searched everywhere but never touched it.

"Well, actually, I've wanted to say... I've given them that jade. I can't stand it in the past few years, so I asked people to find some jade everywhere to come back." Boss Qu glanced at his wife, and saw her crying, and said a little embarrassedly: "I just haven't found a suitable jade carving master, so I didn't take it out..."

The famous ones were not able to reach the level, and the unfamous ones were worried that they would destroy the jade, so they kept putting it on hold.

Qu Duoduo looked through it and she couldn't recognize the real thing, but it looked very good, at least it felt quite comfortable to touch.

She thought for a while and said hesitantly: "...Dad, what do you think of Master Lu?"
