Big man

Although "Moxuan" is not an underground vault, it also displays a lot of good stuff.The antiques and treasures that can enter this villa must not be ordinary, otherwise, wouldn't it tarnish Liu Mo and Liu Baye's great name?

Xiao Fan stood in front of rows of brown-yellow wooden frames exuding a faint fragrance, looking at the exquisite antiques on the wooden frames.

In fact, the rows of wooden frames placed in the Moxuan are in themselves great treasures, and they are authentic huanghuali wood furniture from the Kangxi period.According to the current market price, the price of such round materials and long plates with a diameter of more than 6000 cm to [-] cm exceeds [-] yuan per catty.Simply counting the price of raw materials, these rows of wooden frames of Moxuan are worth several million yuan.If the value of antiques is included, it is truly priceless.

Liu Baye is by no means someone who deserves his fame.

Because of the preciousness of huanghuali wood furniture, usually owning such a piece of furniture is regarded as a wealthy family.All the owners of huanghuali wood furniture treasure it as the treasure of the town house.Probably only Mr. Liu Baye has such a skill, and used this set of priceless huanghuali wood furniture from the Kangxi period to make ordinary shelves.

Those guests who stepped into the "Moxuan" for the first time were stunned by the incomparable grandeur as soon as they entered the door.Without looking at the collection on the shelf, he already worshiped Ba Ye Liu completely.

The tables, chairs and couches in Moxuan are also antiques made of huanghuali wood.

The "Mo Xuan" placed in the open place is so shocking, I really don't know what kind of rare treasures are stored in Liu Baye's underground vault.

Some people even say that Liu Baye's collection may be even rarer than that of the Ouchi Museum.

"Yi Shao, I'm sorry, there are no particularly rare items during this period of time."

Liu Mo was by Xiao Fan's side, and said with a smile, apologetic all over his face.

Liu Baye looked in his forties, with a beard of about two inches under his chin, which was black and shiny like his hair, of medium height, with a straight waist, without any fat, and full of vigor.

His attire was also similar to Xiao Fan's, with a maroon purple Tang suit and black cloth shoes.

Liu Mo apologized, but secretly wondered in his heart.

Most of Xiao Fan's visits in the past were at the invitation of Baye Liu. Once Baye Liu got something new and rare, he would call Xiao Fan and invite him to come and appreciate it.

In the antique world of the capital, there are not many master connoisseurs that Liu Mo truly recognizes, and Xiao Fan is one of them.

Especially for the ancient relics related to the inheritance of Taoism, Xiao Fan's appreciation ability is second to none.This Xiao Yishao seemed to have an unusual perception ability for Taoist objects, and he never opened his eyes to any similar ancient objects once they passed his hands.At this point, even Liu Mo was amazed.

Antiques have souls. In Liu Mo's eyes, this sentence is absolutely true, without any falsehood.

Whether others believe it or not, Liu Mo made his fortune by relying on this ability.

Xiao Fan seemed to have abilities similar to his.

Sometimes, Liu Mo also secretly rejoiced that Xiao Fan did not focus on antiques, otherwise, Liu Baye might meet the strongest competitor, and might not be able to achieve the brilliant achievements and supreme status he is today.

When it comes to the ability to appreciate and recognize antiques, Liu Mo thinks he is not inferior to Xiao Fan.However, his surname is Xiao. If Xiao Fan becomes a competitor with him, relying on the big name of the old Xiao family and wielding the big stick of power, Liu Mo will not be able to bear it no matter what.

Fortunately, Xiao Fan is just a "player".

Facing such a great man, Baye Liu was extra cautious, which was the right choice.

This time, Baye Liu did not send out an invitation, Xiao Fan took the initiative to contact him, saying that he would come and have a look.While Liu Mo received him warmly, he was also a little apprehensive, not knowing why Xiao Fan made an exception.

Xiao Fan didn't stay in front of the huanghuali wooden frame for too long, as Liu Mo said, the wooden frame was full of old objects, Xiao Fan had appreciated them before, and he didn't see anything new.

"Young master, please sit down."

Liu Mo greeted him courteously, then bowed his head apologetically to Xin Lin, and then sat down in the carved huanghuali wood chair opposite Xiao Fan.

Liu Baye is not an ordinary person, his eyes are very poisonous.

Although Xin Lin always followed Xiao Fan quietly, Xiao Fan was sitting and she was standing, keeping the rules very strictly.If it were an ordinary person, this "servant" would definitely be ignored.

Baye Liu can't be so unprofessional.

Cinlin's concealed air of a top expert couldn't escape his eyes.I don't know if Xin Lin is from the Jianghu, or a master from the Security Bureau.

Liu Mo did not investigate.

He knows the truth of "curiosity killed the cat".

Some people's secrets should never be probed.Finding out Xin Lin's true identity is just to satisfy his curiosity, but it may cause huge troubles.

How serious would be the consequences of spying on the secrets of the Xiao family's children?

Maybe it will give people a handle and let them find a reason to deal with it.

As the saying goes, "every man is innocent and he is guilty of a jade", Liu Baye's billions of dollars of wealth and rare collections have attracted many people who are jealous and greedy.Giving people an excuse may be a catastrophe.

Every time Xin Lin came with her attendants, Liu Mo never lost courtesy to her.Xin Lin abides by the rules and refuses to take a seat, that is her fault, if she loses her manners, it means that Liu Baye has lost sight.

Placed in front of the two of them was an antique wooden table made of huanghuali wood, carved into the shape of ancient tree roots and birthday stars offering peaches.Huanghuali wood lacks large timber, so this carved wooden table is also assembled to look like a root carving.

On the huanghuali wooden table, there is a set of tea sets for brewing Kung Fu tea.

Liu Mo made tea himself.

There are very few guests who can enter "Moxuan", even if it is so, the treatment of guests is still divided into three, six, and nine grades.Usually guests can only visit "Moxuan" before being invited out.More important guests can sit in Moxuan for a while and be entertained by a dedicated tea artist making tea.Guests like Xiao Fan belonged to the most distinguished category, and Ba Ye Liu made tea himself.

Since Liu Mo moved to Tianyuan Community, there are only a handful of distinguished guests who have enjoyed this kind of treatment.

Soon, the fragrance overflowed.

"Young master, please!"

Liu Mo gently handed a cup of yellow orange tea to Xiao Fan.

"Thank you."

Xiao Fan thanked with a smile, picked up the teacup, and took a sip.

Liu Mo accompanied him.

Seeing that Xiao Fan never mentioned the purpose of coming here, Liu Baye also kept his mouth shut and never asked.Liu Mo, a veteran of the rivers and lakes, knows exactly which method to use when dealing with which kind of person.

Xiao Fan looks gentle and gentle, but he is actually the kind of person who can make up his mind.

If you have something to ask, you will take the initiative to speak up, otherwise, asking is useless.

"Mr. Liu, I have a gadget here, take a look and give me a price."

Xiao Fan took two sips of tea and said with a smile.

This is also the special feature of Xiao Fan.Usually, people in the industry respect Liu Mo as "Eight Lord" but not by name.In the capital's antique world, "Eighth Master" is a specific title. Whenever Eighth Master is mentioned, it refers to Liu Mo, not anyone else.

But Xiao Fan always called Liu Mo Mr. Liu, very formal.

Liu Mo didn't think there was anything wrong.After all, Xiao Fan is the eldest grandson of the old Xiao family, and a state official who enjoys deputy director-level treatment cannot confuse himself with people from the Jianghu.

But after hearing Xiao Fan's words, Liu Mo was slightly taken aback.

Why, Xiao Fan took the initiative to come to the door today, just to sell him something?

This is really a bit strange.

Xin Lin stepped forward and handed a round object with mottled copper to Liu Mo.

Liu Mo quickly took it with both hands, glanced at it, his face changed slightly, and said, "Young Master, this is... the object of Emperor Wanshou?"

This round object is a bronze mirror, about five centimeters in diameter, extremely thin, less than half a centimeter thick, engraved with extremely delicate gossip patterns and ancient seal characters of "Longevity Emperor".

Bagua bronze mirror is a relatively common magic weapon in Taoist inheritance, but this bronze mirror is of such a specification that it can be regarded as very miniature.Usually the gossip mirrors used in Taoism have a diameter of more than [-] centimeters.

The so-called "Longevity Emperor" is also a very famous figure in the history of Taoism inheritance.

This person is not a real Taoist priest, but an emperor, the lord of ten thousand chariots—Ming Shizong Jiajing Emperor Zhu Houcong!

The vast majority of emperors in the Ming Dynasty believed in Taoism, with Emperor Jiajing being the most, almost to the point of madness.

Emperor Jiajing reigned for a very long time, 45 years before and after.

Emperor Jiajing is very famous among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty. One is because his predecessor, Zhu Houzhao, Emperor Wuzong Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, was a famous absurd emperor. "The barnyard official history and stage drama.Zhu Houzhao died early and had no sons. Zhu Houcong, as the cousin of Emperor Zhengde, inherited the Datong from a foreign vassal.The second is because during his reign, a corrupt official came out, and Yan Song, the famous "Prime Minister of Qingci" in history, was single-handedly promoted by him.

In the history of Ming Dynasty, Yan Song was more famous than Zhu Houcong.

As an emperor, the most unforgivable thing about Zhu Houcong was that he was obsessed with Taoism. He almost ignored the government for more than 20 years, and was completely controlled by the traitor Yan Song.Like Song Huizong, Zhu Houcong gave himself many Taoist titles, the most famous of which is "Emperor Longevity".

Burning alchemy and refining mercury in the Forbidden City all day long, pursuing the way of longevity.

Although Zhu Houcong was fatuous, lazy, and ignored government affairs during his reign, and the Ming Dynasty and the people all over the world suffered greatly from it, but hundreds of years after his death, some Taoist artifacts left by him have become quite precious. of historical relics.

It can be considered unintentional.

Xiao Fan smiled and said: "Yes, this is a small gadget I found in the early years. At that time, many people thought it was a fake, so I bought it."

Liu Mo laughed and said, "These people also don't know how to see gold and jade."

"Mr. Liu, you inspect the goods."

"Yi Shao, you are slapping me in the face. The magic weapon of Emperor Wanshou came out of your hand, can it still be fake?"

Liu Mo said seriously.

Xiao Fan's ability to appreciate Taoist instruments is unrivaled.

At least Baye Liu thinks so. (To be continued.)
