Chapter 35 Eight Horses
Sun Yong looked at the old grandmother playing with the big silver dollar, and said proudly, "This is Yuan Datou's big silver dollar, and it is a rare signed version!"
"Shhh
The guests here understood, and they couldn't help but gasp.
"Signed version?"
The old woman's eyes lit up, and she turned the big silver dollar in her hand around, and sure enough, on the right side of the front of the big silver dollar, there was a line of English characters, the words L.GioRGi.
Qin Lu looked at Sun Yong with a strange look in his eyes.
The signed version of the Yuan Datou silver dollar is very rare, and it has not even been issued in the outside world. He had seen it in his master's collection, made in the Tianjin Mint, with a line of signatures engraved on the right side, which was the initials of the Italian engraver George Rulgeorge.
The price of such a large silver dollar collection that has never flowed through is extremely high. What's more, because it is scarce, there is no place to buy it if you have money. There is no market.
"It's... This... Xiao Yong, how much does it cost you to buy this thing?" the old grandmother liked it very much, but she still asked Sun Yong distressedly.
"Not much money. Sun Yong waved his hand indifferently and said, "I know grandma, you like this kind of antique, I specially asked the relationship to get it for you, as a birthday gift, money is not important, the important thing is to make grandma happy." ”
"Hahaha. The old lady smiled with satisfaction, "Happy, happy." I see this gift from you, grandson, very open. ”
"Grandma, it's good if you're happy. Sun Yong sat back in his place.
The second birthday gift is also the grandchild of the Sun family, a young man with gold wire glasses, gentle and elegant, very temperamental.
He stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the old grandmother, and then said, "Grandma, this year's birthday banquet, the birthday gift I gave you is a Maitreya Buddha, I hope you can be happy." ”
Unlike Sun Yong, this young man with gold-wire glasses had no intention of selling off the slightest, and said straight to the point.
As soon as the words fell, he beckoned, and a man dressed as a bodyguard behind him walked over with a large box.
The man with gold wire glasses took the box and put it on the table in front of the old grandmother, and opened the box without saying a word, only to see that inside was a pure jade carved pot-bellied Maitreya Buddha!
The sparkling jade green reflected a brilliant light under the light of the room, making it impossible for everyone in the hall to take their eyes off.
"Oh my God, this is a Buddha statue made of pure jade......"
"It's so beautiful......"
"How much does it cost?"
"The Sun family is really wealthy......
All the guests were talking about it.
No wonder everyone was surprised.
This jade carved Maitreya Buddha carved vividly, just like the real thing, with an open chest and belly, and a happy smile on his face, anyone who looks at it can't help laughing.
The grandmother obviously liked the gift of the city team very much, and stroked the body of the Jade Buddha and couldn't put it down.
"This Maitreya Buddha is so exquisitely carved, which master's handiwork?" The old woman saw the extraordinaryness of this Maitreya Buddha at a glance, raised her head and asked the man with gold wire glasses.
The man with gold-wire glasses stroked his frame and said with a smile: "I am looking for a jade carving master Guo Shilin, who is carved by Master Guo." ”
"Guo Shilin?" the old lady was a little surprised, and said, "Is it Teacher Guo from our capital city?"
"That's right, it's Master Guo. ”
The old grandmother looked at this Maitreya Buddha again, and saw that its structure was rigorous, the shape was exquisite, the carving was delicate, and it echoed and expressive, which was very artistically appealing, and it was really Guo Shilin's handiwork.
"How much does it cost you?" the old woman felt distressed again.
"Nothing more, nothing more, just a million. The man in gold glasses replied with a smile.
"A million is not much?!" the old grandmother's eyes widened, but there was a smile in her eyes, "Don't prepare such an expensive birthday gift for me next time, do you hear?" ”
"Grandma, I know, not next time. The man in gold-rimmed glasses bowed.
"Alas. The grandmother was helpless, she knew that next year's birthday banquet would be an expensive gift for her.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses sat back in his place.
It's the turn of the third grandchild to give the gift.
The third one who came out was a short-haired woman with raised eyes and a somewhat mean appearance, she shook her hair, stepped forward, opened the picture scroll in her hand in front of the old grandmother, and said, "Grandma, this is the gift I want to give you, Teacher Zhao Yuzhe's galloping eight horses." ”
"Eight horses?" the old lady stood up excitedly, put on her reading glasses, and carefully looked at the picture scroll in front of her.
I saw that the eight horses in this painting seemed to be fearless, running freely on the endless meadow, their hooves soaring in the air, their sideburns flying in all directions, and their sturdy limbs were sharp and angular!
"It's a good painting, it's a good painting!" the old woman carefully took the scroll, laid it flat on the table, and admired it carefully.
The short-haired woman standing below saw that the old woman liked it very much, and smiled proudly.
After admiring it for a long time, the old grandmother took off her reading glasses, carefully rolled up the scroll in her hand, and then said to a servant beside her, "You put this in my study." ”
"Got it, grandma. The servant bowed respectfully, then took the scroll with both hands and withdrew.
"Your grandmother likes this gift very much, and she has a heart. The old lady kindly reached out and touched the short-haired woman's head.
"Grandma, it's best if you like it. The short-haired woman said happily, and then sat back in her place.
Next, two grandchildren presented a birthday gift to the grandmother.
But after the pure jade Maitreya Buddha of the man with gold wire glasses and the eight horses of the short-haired girl Zhao Yuzhe, the grandmother's satisfaction has obviously increased a lot, and she is not very satisfied with the gifts brought by the remaining two grandsons, but she did not show it.
As the head of the family, the grandmother's emotional intelligence is undoubtedly very high.
Finally, except for Sun Ying, all the gifts from the grandchildren were delivered.
So, everyone turned their attention to Sun Ying.
The old grandmother also looked at Sun Ying kindly.
Among all the grandchildren in the entire Sun family, the old lady's favorite and most beloved is Sun Ying, a girl, and she is looking forward to what kind of birthday gift Sun Ying can give her. Don't ask for the most expensive, as long as you have the mind.
Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Sun Ying puffed up her chest confidently and said, "Grandma, the birthday gift I gave you this time is very rare." ”
"Oh, is that so?" the old grandmother's curiosity intensified, and she looked at Sun Ying and said, "Then quickly take it out and let grandma see it." ”
"Okay. Sun Ying nodded, then took out a bag from behind her and walked to the grandmother's table.
