The living room was quiet again, the family looked at the trolley box placed on the floor, looking at Ye Tian, everyone was very excited, their eyes were full of anticipation, expecting a miracle to appear again.

After taking a deep breath and calming down a little, Ye Tian squatted down again.

Then, he carefully took out a sandalwood box from the open trolley case on the floor and gently placed it on the coffee table.

"Grandma, this is a gift from your grandson, it is a white porcelain statue of Guanyin, I hope you like it!"

As he spoke, Ye Tian had opened the sandalwood box, invited the Guanyin statue inside, and placed it in the center of the coffee table.

This series of actions is very cautious and cautious, but also a little respectful.

Although Ye Tian is a staunch materialist, does not believe in Buddhism, and never worships Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, he still maintains a certain awe for such things that represent traditional culture.

With his movements, this gift he gave to his grandmother was clearly presented in front of all the family.

This is a white porcelain statue of Guanyin, about 30 centimeters high, the fetus is white and dense, white glaze, Guanyin holds a high bun and wears a Ruyi hairpin, the head is slightly tilted forward, the cheeks are plump, the eyes are downward, and the eyes are kind.

The statue is seated, with a half-bare chest, wearing a lotus pendant, wearing a shawl with wide sleeves and long clothes, with smooth folds, holding a net bottle in his left hand, sitting on the lotus throne.

Under the light, you can clearly see that the Guanyin statue is exquisitely carved and delicate, the lines are smooth, the glaze is like ivory, white and pure, moist and translucent, and glowing with bursts of treasure light!

Guanyin's expression is elegant and calm, serene and calm, as if he is contemplating down, and seems to overlook all living beings, which skillfully shows the spiritual temperament of Guanyin's great compassion and protection of all living beings, and has a shocking appeal.

The moment this white porcelain statue was placed on the coffee table, the eyes of all the family members were firmly attracted, and they couldn't take their eyes off the statue to look at and admire it.

Especially grandma, her eyes immediately flashed with joy, and she smiled even more happily.

Obviously, the grandmother liked this statue of Guanyin very much, and she also liked this piece of her grandson's heart.

It took a moment for the family to come to their senses.

Immediately afterwards, the sister-in-law immediately said urgently:

"Xiaotian, let's talk about this statue of Guanyin, we really want to know, this statue of Guanyin is too expressive, looking at it has a feeling of compassion and compassion, it seems to be able to purify people's souls.

Another thing, no one in our family, including your grandmother, believes in Buddhism, so why did you kid think of sending a statue of Guanyin to your grandmother? Is there any special purpose in this?"

This is also a question that the rest of the people are concerned about, and everyone looks at Ye Tian, waiting for him to give an answer.

Ye Tian chuckled and nodded, and then began to explain.

This is a white porcelain Guanyin statue fired in the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, from the famous Fujian Dehua kiln, a kiln mouth famous for the white porcelain Buddha statue, has a very important position in the history of porcelain.

The master of the sculpture of this statue of Guanyin is He Chaozong, who is known as the "first person in religious sculpture art", he is a representative figure of Dehua kiln porcelain sculpture, and he is also the most outstanding master of white porcelain porcelain sculpture in history.

The works he sculpted are won by the simple sculpture beauty and the texture of the glaze material, which is as beautiful as fat jade and has a strong texture, and has a very high appreciation value, among which there are many national first-class cultural relics and treasures.

Dehua kiln porcelain sculpture is truly famous all over the world, occupies an important position in the history of porcelain, began with He Chaozong, his porcelain sculpture to promote the process of nationalization and secularization of Buddhism, with milestone significance.

This statue of Guanyin is from He Chaozong, and has a very high collection value and artistic value, which is not worse than the 'cross-knee Guanyin' of the Palace Museum and the 'Guanyin of Crossing the Sea' in Quanzhou.

On the back of this white porcelain Guanyin statue, there is a square Yin text seal seal, engraved with 'He Chaozong Seal', which is exactly the same as the seals of the remaining He Chaozong sculptures known, undoubtedly!

I can say with great certainty that this white porcelain Guanyin statue of He Chaozong is definitely a national first-class cultural relic, which is commonly known as a national treasure-level cultural relic, which is extremely rare!"

"Wow! Another national treasure! Really fake? When did the national treasure become so worthless? It actually appeared one after another, and it all fell into the hands of your kid!"

The second uncle exclaimed, and then started joking.

The rest of the family also chuckled, their eyes full of joy.

After experiencing the impact of the previous national treasure-level inkstone, everyone's endurance has become much stronger.

Hearing that this is another national treasure-level antique, although everyone is still shocked, the performance is not as exaggerated as before.

"Of course it's true! Second uncle, our country has a long history, and there are not many first-class cultural relics, but there are also a lot of them! If you don't know the goods, then even if the national treasure is placed in front of you, it is impossible to recognize it.

But a top antique art expert like your nephew and me, as long as any antique art appears in my field of vision, then don't try to escape my eyes!

Ye Tian said proudly, his tone was very firm and full of confidence.

"Heh, you're really not polite!"

The sister-in-law joked with a smile, a look of appreciation flashed in her eyes.

After teasing a few coughs, Ye Tian returned to the topic.

"This white porcelain Guanyin statue of He Chaozong was found in the south of the United States, it didn't cost much, and the moment I got this Guanyin statue, I decided to take it back to China and give it to my grandmother as a gift.

Of course, I knew that my grandmother did not believe in Buddhism and did not have the habit of praying to God and worshiping Buddha, but I still brought this statue of Guanyin back, and of course there was a reason for this.

He Chaozong's sculpture is undeniably religious, but this is only one of them, it represents the pinnacle of white porcelain sculpture art, is a treasure of national traditional culture.

From this point of view, this white porcelain statue of Guanyin is far from the teachings of the Buddhist scriptures, and she has become the embodiment of people's imagination and expectation of truth, goodness, beauty and holiness.

That's why I brought this statue back as a gift to my grandmother, who I believe will love this national treasure!"

"Of course I like it, as long as my grandson gives me, no matter what kind of gift, I like it very much, not to mention such a wonderful Guanyin sculpture!"

Grandma smiled and nodded, her face full of joy.

After saying that, Grandma got up and walked to the coffee table and began to carefully admire the statue of Guanyin.

At this moment, Linlin asked curiously:

"Brother, since this is a national treasure-level antique, it must be worth a lot of money, right? Can you tell me the specific price? I really want to know, I believe you want to know it too!"

"That's right, Xiaotian, tell me the price of this Guanyin statue!"

The sister-in-law echoed, and the rest of the family also looked at Ye Tian.

There was nothing to hide, Ye Tian immediately gave the answer.

"The white porcelain Guanyin statue of He Chaozong is not much in the world, and most of them are collected in major museums or Buddhist temples, all of which are national treasure-level antiques and are very closely protected.

In the antique art market, it is almost impossible to see the white porcelain Guanyin statue of He Chaozong, and every time it appears, it will cause a huge sensation, attracting countless collectors to chase and chase after it.

Christie's Hong Kong once photographed a white porcelain Guanyin statue of He Chaozong, which is a statue of Guanyin crossing the sea, about 50 centimeters high, with a hammer price of about 16 million yuan, including commissions of 19.3 million yuan.

The size of this statue of Guanyin is not as good as that one, but the artistic value is not inferior at all, the only drawback is that the maintenance condition is not as good as that one, there are some slight scratches, and the price has to be discounted a little.

Based on my understanding of the current antique market, the price of this Guanyin statue should be between 1,000 and 12 million RMB, and if you meet a favorite collector, it may be even higher!"

As soon as the words fell, the living room immediately exploded, and the exclamation suddenly sounded.

"Oh my God! Another 10-million-level national treasure-level antique, it's incredible!"

"12 million RMB! I heard you right? Half a set of courtyard houses!"

The moment the exclamation sounded, Ye Tian got up quickly and reached out to hold his grandmother's arm, lest his grandmother be frightened by this price and make a mistake!

Fortunately, grandma was in good physical condition and had a strong psychological endurance, so she just shook it a little and stabilized her figure.

"It's another national treasure, it seems that you have to buy a sturdy safe, or go to the bank to rent a safe! Otherwise, these things will have no place to put them, and they must not be placed at home like this, it will be too dangerous!"

Grandpa said with emotion, happy at the same time, there was also a little worry in his eyes.

"You don't have to worry about this, grandpa, leave it to me, I'll buy the best and sturdiest safe on the market tomorrow, and move it to the house to shelve, so that you won't be able to sleep with your constant worries."

If you are still not at ease, then rent a safe in the financial street to store all kinds of treasures for you, it is one of the safest places in China, so you should rest assured!"

Ye Tian helped grandma sit down first, and then said to grandpa with a smile.

Even if Grandpa doesn't mention it, it is imperative to buy a safe for the family, and every family must buy one.

Although the law and order situation in Beijing is very good, and there are very few criminal cases of sliding doors and picking locks, there are thieves who are not long-sighted and will break into this courtyard house to steal on the day when they are not guaranteed.

If those thieves steal a few national treasure-level antiques, the loss will be great!

In addition to the safe, Ye Tian also plans to improve the security of this courtyard, infrared surveillance cameras, alarm devices directly connected to the police station in the jurisdiction, etc., are indispensable.

He is also ready to rent or buy the two houses opposite and next to it, hire a group of professional bodyguards, and keep an eye on this courtyard 24 hours a day without disturbing the normal life of his family, and secretly protect his family!

For Ye Tian, there is no difficulty in doing all this at all, but it is just to spend some money, and the last thing he lacks now is that thing!

Besides, Beijing's courtyard houses are now a strange commodity to live in.

Buying two sets of courtyard houses is definitely a wise investment, and making a big profit every few years is almost a sure thing, and it definitely didn't run!

"Okay, Xiaotian, I'll leave this matter to you, the sooner the better!

Grandpa nodded in response, his expression much more relaxed.

Everyone's mood gradually calmed down, and the living room was much quieter, Ye Tian put the national treasure-level white porcelain Guanyin statue back into the sandalwood box and put it aside.

After chatting with his family for a few words, he took out a small red sandalwood box from the box, put it in his grandmother's hand, and said with a smile:

"Grandma, this is a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets, made of top Hetian jade seeds, the craftsmanship is very exquisite, the jade is warm and delicate, like clotted fat, the water head is excellent, and the appearance is soft.

According to my identification, this should be a pair of bracelets made in the middle of the Qianlong period and from the Qing Palace, which has a history of more than 200 years and is a pair of very rare antique jade.

What's even more commendable is that this pair of jade bracelets has never been put into the ground, and there are no unfortunate things like blood, and they have been circulating, playing, and appreciating among different owners.

People often say that ancient jade nourishes people, and playing with jade is beneficial to health and health! The intention of I to give you this pair of mutton fat jade bracelets is to hope that you will be old and healthy, and live a long life!"

"Hey, what a good boy, grandma accepted this gift!"

Grandma caressed Ye Tian's head lovingly and smiled very heartily.

"The top mutton fat jade bracelet from the palace must be very beautiful! Mom! Open the box quickly, let us also open our eyes, this kind of treasure is too rare, but you can't ask for it!"

The sister-in-law came up and said excitedly, her eyes were staring at the red sandalwood box in her grandmother's hand, her eyes were extremely hot and full of envy.

The old mother, the second aunt, and Linlin, including the little girl Chenxi, almost all performed the same, staring closely at the red sandalwood box, expecting to see the pair of top-grade mutton fat jade bracelets inside.

As long as it is a woman, there is basically no resistance to glittering treasures such as gold, jewelry, and jade, and the same is true for these women in the family, no matter how big or small.
