Chapter 119: Inheriting the Treasure Jade (Part 2)

"Lao Yu, is this jade pendant really earlier than Longshan culture?"

Hearing Yu Xuan's words, Sun Lianda also showed an incredible look on his face. He knew that Longshan culture was an extremely important part of Chinese civilization. The jade artifacts and many artifacts unearthed in China were the earliest prototypes of many later works of art.

Just like among a batch of Longshan culture jadeware unearthed in Lu Province a few years ago, there was a jade pendant in the shape of Taotie, which was very similar to the Taotie jadeware of the Han Dynasty. From the perspective of age, it was impossible for Longshan culture to plagiarize Han Dynasty culture, so there is only one answer. Many civilizations in later generations originated from Longshan culture.

Now that I suddenly heard Yu Xuan say that this jade pendant was earlier than the Longshan culture, Sun Lianda was naturally shocked and then excited. If the civilization of Longshan culture could be discovered earlier, it would undoubtedly be a major discovery that shocked the whole world.

"From the craftsmanship, this jade pendant was ground, not carved. I have never seen such a craftsmanship in China..."

Yu Xuan also knew the importance of this identification, so he did not dare to make a rash conclusion. He was still carefully observing the jade pendant with a magnifying glass, with a look of struggle and hesitation on his face.

"Lao Yu, what's wrong?" Sun Lianda asked with concern. Jade identification was not his strength, otherwise Sun Lianda would have taken action by himself.

"This piece of jade looks like an artifact from the pre-Qin sacrifice. I remember seeing similar images on an unearthed pre-Qin stone tablet..."

Yu Xuan was very conflicted at this time. The production process of this jade pendant was very primitive, and it can even be traced back to the period before the Longshan culture. However, the shape of the jade wares once appeared in the pre-Qin period, and Yu Xuan could not intercept it for a while.

"Lao Yu, there are not many things that can stump you..." Sun Lianda added some oil to Yu Xuan.

"Brother, don't praise me, this thing really stumps me..."

Yu Xuan smiled bitterly when he heard this. There was a special procedure for identifying ancient jade, but Yu Xuan used his past experience to identify this jade pendant. However, he found that there were many inexplicable problems.

"Can't make a conclusion?"

Sun Lianda asked, and he saw Yu Xuan's entanglement, which also shows that this jade pendant has great controversy over the age. It cannot be made public as a newly discovered culture.

“I can’t get off…”

Yu Xuan shook his head and said, "Unless a similar artifact was unearthed somewhere, I can only verify it. Now I cannot stop it. Xiao Fang. I am helpless..."

"Where, we have learned a lot of knowledge from you, Mr. Yu..." After hearing Yu Xuan's words, Fang Yi quickly spoke, "Maybe this was done by a craftsman with poor skills. After thousands of years, you, Mr. Yu, have been around..."

When I heard Yu Xuan give this jade pendant with a very high evaluation, Fang Yi's heart was like a roller coaster, and suddenly it slipped into his throat, for fear that this thing would be acquired by the teacher for the country. By the way, this thing was left to the country for scientific research, which was far less important than the significance of Fang Yi.

So Fang Yi now wishes to demote this jade pendant as worthless. Only in this way can the teacher lose interest in it and return to Fang Yi safely.

"Well, what Fang Yi said makes sense, that is, many objects in our museum cannot be verified from the source. Lao Yu, I think you don't think about it anymore..."

Seeing Yu Xuan's face full of entangled expressions, Sun Lianda advised him, "There are too many puzzles in history, and many things actually happened by chance and have no motivation." It is impossible for later generations to prove it one, two, and three.

“What I said is that there are many things that cannot be verified in the world…”

Yu Xuan sighed and handed the jade pendant to Fang Yi. He said, "Xiao Fang, let's not talk about anything else. As long as this piece of ancient jade is plated, it will be a piece of inherited jade. Its value is immeasurable. You must keep it carefully..."

"Old Yu. How much can this jade pendant be sold?" Man Jun, who had just returned from buying vegetables, just happened to hear Yu Xuan identify the ancient jade. He finally had the opportunity to ask this sentence. As a qualified antique dealer, Man Jun naturally had to understand the price of this ancient jade.

"Sell money? This thing is a family-borne ancient jade. Do you want to sell it for money?"

What surprised Man Jun was that Yu Xuan, who had always been gentle and elegant, lost his temper after hearing his words, "The jade is raised by a gentleman. After being raised, good ancient jade can ensure the safety of the family and the wealth of the descendants. Can these be exchanged for money?"

"Old Yu, don't be angry, I...I'm just a professional habit..."

Seeing that Yu Xuan was really angry, Man Jun bowed and accompanied him, but Yu Xuan's attitude made Man Jun understand that this piece of ancient jade was really a valuable object, and he was probably not under the "Yongle Encyclopedia".

"Xiao Fang, if you want to sell this piece of jade, come to me first. As long as you are willing, the items I have collected in this life can be replaced with your jade..." Yu Xuan was obviously resentful of Man Jun's words, but his words really shocked everyone in the house.

Yu Xuanwan's collection is famous for his Pixiu. He has always only entered and not left. He doesn't know how many treasures he has hidden at home. He is willing to take them all out to exchange for this piece of ancient jade, which shows how important it is in Yu Xuan's heart.

"Old Yu, don't joke with the boy. I will definitely not sell this thing. I will wear it with me in the future..."

Fang Yi could see that Yu Xuan was reluctant to leave the jade pendant, so he simply found a string of beads, passed through the hollow part of the jade pendant and tied it directly on his neck.

"Oh, it's past five o'clock. Please sit down first, I'll cook a few dishes..." Fang Yi was afraid that Yu Xuan would have any ideas about the jade pendant again, so after hanging the jade pendant around his neck, he immediately hid in the kitchen, leaving Yu Xuan sitting there with a look of aftertaste.

Needless to say, Fang Yi's craftsmanship is a few light tastes that are very cleverly matched with. Yu Xuan praised it all. Even Bai Chuxia, who was planning to lose weight recently, secretly picked up a few more chopstick dishes like a thief.

After dinner, one had to go back to the studio to work, and the other had to communicate with the director about the book "Yongle Encyclopedia". Sun Chao and Zhao Hongtao said goodbye first, while Yu Xuan and Sun Lianda sat in Manjun's living room and started chatting.

Sun Lianda seemed to have deliberately asked Yu Xuan to teach Fang Yi something, and repeatedly led the topic to some more professional appraisal knowledge. Fang Yi and Man Jun next to him wanted to take out a notebook to write down all Yu Xuan's words.

But what is strange is that Bai Chuxia, who was not very interested in antiques, never left. She sat there quietly watching the young and old people talking nonsense. It was not until Yu Xuan and Sun Lianda were about to get up and say goodbye that she followed her out of the yard.

"Chuxia, I've lived with Brother Sun these days. Please turn around and ask Mr. Su to retreat my room..." After leaving the yard, Yu Xuan gave Bai Chuxia a few words, pointed at Fang Yi, and said, "It's getting late now, let Xiao Fang take you back..."

"Old Yu, why did I ask him to send him away? Is there anyone who dares to rob the police?" Bai Chuxia glared at Fang Yi angrily, but Fang Yi was a little puzzled. If he didn't let him go, he wouldn't let him go. Master Dao, I didn't provoke you, why did you look at me so dislike me?
