Stopped the chopsticks in his hand, Jian'er wiped her mouth: "Tomorrow will be the mother of a best friend of mine for her birthday. I'm just about to give her a special gift, but after walking around the past few rounds, I really haven't found a perfect match. Why don't Grandpa Song give her some advice?"
Old Song touched his smooth chin and said, "Girl, do you know the way to give gifts?"
"Please give me some advice!" Although I knew that this gift was a science, no one had taught her carefully. Now, when Mr. Song talked about it, it seemed that he wanted to teach her a class, Jian'er became interested. You must know that Mr. Lu had not had time to talk about it yet, and it would be a good thing to listen to Grandpa Song's gestures now.
With a light cough, Mr. Song picked up the purple clay teapot at his hand and took a nice sip. Instead of talking directly, he asked, "Girl, I have a question to test you. Guess, is this a good gift to give a useful gift or a useless gift?"
If it were changed before, Jian'er would definitely say directly, "Of course it is useful to give." This is also the thinking of ordinary people. Anyone who thinks about it is thinking that when giving gifts, of course they have to choose something that others can use, otherwise it will be given for nothing. But since Mr. Song asked this, it means that this must have profound meaning. So Jian'er did not answer rashly, but just turned his head and thought about it carefully for a while, but he couldn't figure it out. He simply gave up and asked for advice faster: "I don't know, Grandpa Song will tell the girl."
Haha, Mr. Song didn't expect Jian'er to explain clearly. When he saw Jian'er ask, he didn't piss off her appetite: "Actually, this gift is about useful gifts rather than useless gifts. Don't give gifts that are too practical."
Sure enough! But why is this?
Looking at Jian'er's puzzled look, Old Song smiled and continued to solve the problem: "Does the girl know what this practical thing generally refers to?"
A strong practicality? Jian'er thought about it and said with no certainty: "It should refer to clothes, perfume, etc."
"That's right! The girl has a good understanding. The reason why you don't give this thing is because unless you learn to have an absolute grasp of your own taste and have a complete control over the other person's preferences, you should not buy these things. Because everyone usually has a lot of things of this type. If the gift is not particularly outstanding, it will easily be ignored. And if she doesn't recognize the taste, it may leave them a bad impression of a 'vulgar'." As she said this, Mr. Song paused for a moment, and saw that Jian'er seemed to have digested these sentences before continuing to speak again, "So it's best to give gifts that are 'four-no'."
"Grandpa Song, what does it mean to 'four no-fall'?" Jian'er asked curiously.
"Don't worry, I'm going to say this! The 'four no-drop' refers to: I can't eat it, can't use it, can't give it away, can't throw it away. Such gifts are most suitable for expressing my feelings, and are also the easiest to make the recipients feel happy, so that you can't be grateful to you and will never forget you for a long time. From the perspective of the person who receives the gift, what is useful to them is not necessarily something that makes them happy. From the perspective of the person who gives the gift, the purpose of giving gifts is not to bring great practical value to the person who receives the gifts. But to make them grateful to you and remember you. Girl, are you saying this?
Jian'er thought about it carefully and found that this was the truth. The star eyes of admiration turned to Mr. Song.
After enjoying Jian'er's admiration for a while, Mr. Song continued: "Give gifts also emphasize a unique, creative and personalized gift. Such gifts make it easier for the recipients to feel the thoughts you spend most. Let him understand that you have spent a lot of effort and energy to prepare this gift for him, and the purpose of giving gifts is also here."
"When choosing the size of a gift, the general principle of choosing is 'choose the smallest, it is better to choose the largeest of a smallest than to choose the largeest of a gift'. In other words, giving gifts is worse than giving gifts in a less expensive category than giving gifts first a cheaper one. In addition, giving gifts should not be given a choice. When the quality of a few gifts is not much different, giving one thing alone is much more satisfying than letting others choose between two or more gifts. Giving gifts also requires one not to give others a worry about gains and losses."
"Then the point, what should I give me!" After getting along for this period of time, Jian'er obviously felt that Grandpa Song was not a very polite person. He seemed to have an unusual tolerance for her, and when they got along, they were like their own grandfather, so Jian'er didn't pay much attention to her words.
Mr. Song also saw this situation, but not only did he not think it was offensive, but he felt very happy and couldn't help but reveal his temperament: "Didn't I say before? Just give me a 'four no-drop'! You can do the specifics by yourself."
Depressed, really, after listening to this for a long time, I didn't get the specific suggestions, but instead felt that it was even more difficult to give it, "four no loss"! God knows where to get this gift of "four no loss"! Jian'er's pretty little face wrinkled into a ball.
Seeing Jian'er's little face wrinkled, Old Song finally couldn't help laughing. It would be very strange if Old Song's friends saw him like this. You must know that Old Song is famous in the antique circle. In this circle, Old Song can be said to be a person who will shock the ground if stomp his feet. But even though he always smiles on his face, he is born with a smile, but he is very thoughtful. His stomach is always full of colorful intestines. He is always the only one who can plot against others. If others want to get a cheaper person on him, he doesn't think about it. People in the circle are nicknamed "Xiao Maitreya", but some people call him "Smiling" behind their backs. In fact, as long as you are careful, you can see that Old Song's smile rarely reaches his eyes. It is rare to see that he smiles happily like now.
So in the antique circle, Mr. Song just seems so close to him. In fact, he is famous for being unable to get close to him. Now he looks so close to Jian'er. I have to say that this is their fate.
After laughing, Mr. Song stopped teasing Jian'er and asked, "Girl, what are your previous plans?"
Jian'er blushed, and when she was right, she said her previous plan a little embarrassedly: "Well, I wanted to see if I could pick up a vacancy here. I think it's more meaningful to give such a thing."
"Pick up a leak?" A sip of water stuck in Old Song's throat, choking him to cough and his face turned red. After finally recovering, Old Song shook his head and said unhappily: "Girl, what do you think is picking up a leak? Is picking cabbage on the roadside? Picking up a leak! This mentality alone is unbearable! The old man knows that you have a good foundation, but the more you are like this, the more you are in the wrong mentality, you will be prone to taking medicine. Be good, listen to Grandpa Song's advice, this is unbearable."
Seeing the old man's a little angry, Jian'er was very touched to be honest. This old man really regarded himself as his granddaughter. Otherwise, who would advise you to be someone else! Even if you know what's wrong with you, you won't say it. First of all, this matter is not harmful to him, and secondly, if you say too much, you are afraid that others will think you will not be able to show it. Jian'er knows that the possibility of taking medicine is not too great (because antiques are spiritual, and Jian'er is very sensitive to it). He may not know the value of the baby, but Jian'er has already considered it. If you don't buy it too much, it will be done.
But seeing Mr. Song like this, Jian'er nodded obediently. Regardless of the facts, Mr. Song's love for her was a manifestation of caring for her. Jian'er accepted this love.
Looking at Jian'er's well-behaved look, Old Song nodded, OK! Just listen.
Then Mr. Song suddenly asked again: "Girl, have you eaten?"
"Yeah! Okay." He took the last bite of rice into his mouth, Jian'er picked up the water cup beside him and rinsed his mouth, then pulled out the paper from his bag and slapped the corner of his mouth, put his hands away, and sat upright.
"Since it's fine, come with me." Old Master Song stood up and signaled Jane to follow.
With doubts, he followed Mr. Song into the side room. The old man stood in front of the table, gently licked his mouth forward, and said to Jian'er: "Girl, have you seen it?"...
Jian'er looked up and saw that there were many objects on the table, all-inclusive, but not very big. The biggest one was just a brush wash, and the smallest one was a small pendant the size of a finger. She looked at Mr. Song in confusion, what was there to look good about this?
"Please choose one, it's what Grandpa Song gave you." Jian'er was about to refuse, but Old Master Song interrupted her, "Don't worry, you can choose one of the juniors who come to Grandpa Song. As long as you recognize me, Grandpa Song, then you can choose it. Just what you choose depends on your own perspective."
Mr. Song waved his hand and then said, "This is also a test question for you juniors. There are big open doors, high imitations, and handicrafts. You can give it to any grandpa if you choose. You know that you can check anything with your mobile phone now, but you are not allowed to use it now. Are you ready? Go!" After that, the old man stood next to him and signaled that Jian'er might go forward and take a closer look.
Jian'er walked up, walked around the table, then raised her head and asked Mr. Song: "Can I get started with this?"
Mr. Song nodded and signaled that Jian'er could do whatever he wanted.
When she looked at the table again, Jian'er no longer looked at it casually. But she didn't think about cheating immediately, and focused on using her mental power to sense it, but began to use the knowledge she had mastered to analyze it bit by bit.
Thanks to the current online society, all information can be found online. When Lu Zong started teaching Jian Er to learn appreciation, Jian Er posted a lot of information about the Southern Tang Dynasty on the Internet to fill the gap of Professor Lu Zong. It was just that because he had never used the physical objects, Jian Er was weaker in the Southern Tang Dynasty. However, this kind of thing is just as easy to understand. After touching real things for a long time, he will naturally produce a very strange sixth sense. Some modern and old things, even if they are made like alike, will feel a little different in your hand, and it will always be a bit awkward to describe. With Jian Er's current eyes, coupled with a rich knowledge reserve, the least it is also her magical spiritual sensing ability. If you want to deceive her, it is difficult to say it!
