ps:

Today's first update is for monthly tickets, please support me more, thank you.

As the saying goes, an expert looks at the tricks, while an outsider watches the excitement. Wang Guan can see some clues on this piece of golden branches and jade leaves, but he looks dark when he is on the cicada.

However, the Emperor of Heaven has lived up to the painstaking efforts. After careful observation, Wang Guan discovered a possible or perhaps a special situation on the golden cicada. As I said before, the entire cicada body is realistic and lifelike, exactly the same size as a real cicada.

When looking from top to bottom, I felt that the things were very delicate and clever, and I didn’t find anything. But when I looked at the angle, especially when I looked at the tail end of the cicada wing, Wang Guan found a needle-shaped hole.

"It's strange."

Seeing this, Wang Guan was a little confused. He thought the cicada was solid, but what happened to this pinhole? Could it be the trace left by some craft?

After thinking for a while, Wang Guan weighed the things again, but did not feel anything special about the weight. Although both the cicada and the jade leaves look very light, in fact, gold and jade are quite heavy things. If the two are combined, there will naturally be some pressure.

Judging from the weight, the thing should be a solid object. However, the extra pinholes made Wang Guan feel curious. After watching for a while, he still couldn't figure it out. He was curious and simply used his superpowers.

Under Wang Guan's concentration, the golden cicada became transparent in an instant, and all the mysteries were naturally exposed.

"I see……"

In an instant, Wang Guan's face was filled with surprises, and then he realized that he had not only picked up a small leak, but was simply a great fortune.

"Wang Guan, did you find anything?"

Not to mention Yu Wei, Fang Mingsheng is a good at observing the color. When he saw Wang Guanxi's expression, he immediately asked: "Do you know the origin of the thing?"

"almost."

At this time, Wang Guan took back his superpowers, picked up the cup and drank a sip of coffee, which stabilized his excitement, but the smile on his face could not be restrained: "Absolutely, this is something from the Ming Dynasty."

"So sure." Yu Wei was a little curious, not questioning, but just saying it casually. After all, he specializes in porcelain and knows nothing about things like gold and jade.

"You can tell by looking at the overall style..." Wang Guan was perfunctory and couldn't say that he had seen the color of the treasure light. So he knew what era it was.

Anyway, Fang Mingsheng and Yu Wei didn't understand it very much. He listened with relish and had no doubts. Moreover, what Wang Guanshu said was indeed the characteristics of gold and silverware in the Ming Dynasty. It was just that it was relatively large and transformed, but it did not deliberately talk nonsense and mislead people's children.

"But these are not the point."

After talking about it, Wang Guan was a little embarrassed. Then he smiled like compensation: "The point is that this cicada is not as simple as it seems."

"What does it mean?" Fang Mingsheng and Yu Wei were naturally stunned and couldn't help looking at Jin Cicada. Apart from the feeling that it was very realistic, they didn't think there was anything special.

Wang Guan smiled mysteriously and asked, "Do you have needles?"

"Needle?"

The others were stunned, but they didn't hear it clearly. Or they doubted whether there was a difference between what they heard and what they imagined. After all, they couldn't figure out what Wang Guan wanted to do for no reason.

"It's just a needle for sewing clothes, or a brooch or a pin." Wang Guan added: "Or it's a relatively thin iron wire. If you don't have any help, just take a toothpick..."

By the way, Westerners are more accustomed to using floss, and there are very few toothpicks or something. Anyway, there is definitely not a cafe. However, while everyone was exploring, Yu Wei took out a bunch of keys, including a small needle-shaped pick: "Is this okay?"

"no problem."

Wang Guan nodded happily. After taking the thing, he didn't hesitate and stabbed directly at the pinhole at the tail of the golden cicada. Then others saw a very surprised scene. The closed golden cicada wings actually "live" at this moment. A pair of light and thin cicada wings instantly stretched out, a pair of front feet raised, and a pair of hind feet slightly raised, as if they were about to soar in the wind.

"What's going on?"

In an instant, Fang Mingsheng and Yu Wei opened their eyes unconsciously and began to wonder if they had hallucinations. Otherwise, at the beginning, the cicada wings were originally unfolded, but they just saw it wrong?

However, after stretching the cicada wings, Wang Guan did not stop, but continued to make a shocking move. He saw that he wiped the golden cicada and jade leaves with a tissue, and suddenly put the thing to his mouth and put it gently.

"ah."

At this time, the others were completely stunned, a little confused and at a loss, not knowing what Wang Guan was doing. But the next second later, they suddenly heard a sound that seemed to be there and there. The sound was intermittent, swallowing, as if a person who was a beginner in music was playing a tune that was not melodious.

After listening carefully, Fang Mingsheng and Yu Wei immediately noticed that the subtle sound actually emanated from the golden cicada and jade leaves. After discovering this situation, they naturally surprised them again and were filled with incredible expressions.

"Wang Guan, what's going on?"

After a while, Fang Mingsheng gradually calmed down and couldn't wait to ask. If the cicada's wings suddenly stretched and opened, it was because of the internal installation of mechanisms, he would not make a fuss. However, this thing might be a musical instrument, which was far beyond his expectations.

"Can it really sound?"

Compared to Fang Mingsheng's surprise, Yu Wei was extremely shocked. Even if he witnessed it with his own eyes or even heard the sound, he still couldn't believe it and expressed his suspicion. After all, such things kind of subverted his views, and it was understandable that it would be unacceptable for a while.

Wang Guan smiled and said with great certainty: "This is not a golden branch and a jade leaf, but a golden sound and a jade spirit."

"What, the golden sound and jade vibrancy!"

Hearing this, the other two were shocked again, and suddenly realized something.

Don’t be surprised by the surprise of the two. The main thing is the word "Golden Sound and Yu Zhen". Most people may not know much about it, but the source of it has a lot of origin. This is Mencius’ evaluation of Confucius, or his praise for Confucius.

Mencius once said that Confucius is called "Gathering and Great Completeness". The sound of gold and jade is the sound of gold. The sound of gold is the beginning of order; the sound of jade is the end of order. The beginning of order is the end of order. The end of order is the wise thing; the end of order is the saint.

The sound of gold and the sound of Yuzhen is the whole process of playing music, starting with bells (the sound of gold) and ending with bells (the sound of gold).

However, the sound of gold and the sound of Yu Zhen also have another extension. Mencius used this to describe Confucius' thoughts as the great achievements of ancient sages and wise men, and praised Confucius' great contribution to culture. Therefore, according to this allusion, later generations habitually named the first stone arch in front of the Confucius Temple as the sound of Yu Zhen. This is considered to be a respect for Confucius.

Fang Mingsheng and Yu Wei are also cultural people. They have a lot of research on classical books and are naturally clear about the meaning of the golden sound and jade. Now, under Wang Guan’s reminder, they naturally realized and understood the ultimate meaning of the golden cicada and jade leaves.

For a moment, the two of them couldn't help but feel jealousy in their eyes.

If it is a simple golden branch and jade leaf, it would be fine, hundreds of thousands of things. They will only express envy, and there is absolutely no jealousy. However, after discovering that the golden branch and jade leaf has other mystery, he cannot continue to calm down.

The reason why antiques are extremely precious is that in addition to their own value, it is largely due to their added value. Putting aside the length of time, the degree of rarity is not mentioned. The cultural value of things is also one of the important benchmarks for price.

It’s like something that celebrities have used, and these things are not rare, but after the halo effect of a celebrity is covered, both value and price are different from other things. Don’t think it’s absurd. Everyone’s praise of celebrities is actually a kind of culture, and naturally there are reasons for its value.

The golden cicada jade leaf is a good example. To put it bluntly, a golden cicada is inlaid on a jade leaf. Generally speaking, measuring its value is at most calculating the cost of jade and gold. Coupled with the handmade fees of craftsmen, the final price can be obtained. However, due to the inheritance of the golden jade culture, the golden cicada jade leaf represents a beautiful meaning, so the price must be appropriately increased by a few%.

However, no matter how the price increases, it is within a controllable range, and it is impossible to break through this limit.

But there are always exceptions in things. When you find that the wings of the golden cicada can be spread out or even play vocal music, making the wings tremble and resonate with the jade leaves. This is something that is unique and rare. If you contact the culture of Jinsheng and Yuzhen, the value of it is difficult to estimate.

Anyway, at this time, not to mention 40,000 pounds, even 400,000 pounds, Fang Mingsheng is willing to pay this money, and he has no regrets, for fear that there will be any negligence to make the transaction go to ruin.

Of course, after a year of dealing with each other, Fang Mingsheng also understood Wang Guan's temperament and knew that such a good thing would definitely be like a Pixiu eating, but he would have to go in and out. So now he could only stare at the sight of envy and jealousy, and spend money to buy it, and then he would be wiped out by himself.

Fang Mingsheng has encountered many obstacles, so he has learned his lesson. But others don’t know, for example, at this time, someone suddenly came over and greeted him in English with a smile?

It should be a greeting. Anyway, Wang Guan couldn't understand it, so he sighed again. This is why he was unwilling to go abroad. It was not his home court, and there were obstacles in language communication, so he was naturally particularly unhappy.

Fortunately, this kind of thing naturally had a lingering feeling to deal with it. He was talking and laughing with the man. Judging from the eyes of the two people and the gestures of their fingers, it seemed that they were talking about the golden cicada and jade leaves.

Just when Wang Guan was confused, Yu Wei turned around and explained: "Wang Guan, he is the agent of a small auction company. I ask if you want to entrust your company to auction things. He can help with the operation and maybe he can sell it for a good price."

"oh."

As expected, Wang Guan suddenly smiled and shook his head without hesitation, "Help me reject him."

"Ok!"
