In Yanjiao, Kyoto, Lao Liu was sipping old wine at home, humming a tune beautifully after taking a sip.
"Dad, I will stay in Kyoto for a while this time. If you are not used to living with us, then live alone in the house opposite. Anyway, there is no shortage of everything in it."
"I'm really not used to life in the city. If my precious granddaughter hadn't been injured, I wouldn't have wanted to come to Kyoto. Living here is like living in a birdcage, uncomfortable. But I just happened to catch up with little Mo Qibao , I will stay for another ten days and a half, and then I will go back to my hometown after meeting Xiao Mo."
Master Song took the cup and touched Yanagawa Qing lightly, took a sip, smacked his lips and said: "Kuan Qing, what I regret most in my life is that I accepted you as my disciple, because you have ordinary qualifications. But I am the luckiest and happiest. The thing is, I accepted you as my disciple. You and Xiao Ning gave me such a beautiful and well-behaved granddaughter, and you also accepted a peerless genius like Li Mo. I am content in this life and have no regrets."
"Dad, I am not bragging to you. I am not very qualified, but I have a better eye for people than you. At that time, Xiao Mo, who was only five or six years old, followed Yingying to our house to play. When I first saw the child, I fell in love with him. I think he is destined for me and is a good prospect. Now think about it, how wise my decision was to accept him as my disciple. Mingtang, I toast you. My dad has been living in my hometown these years, thanks to you for taking good care of me. "
"Why are you being polite to me? Although I am not related by blood to my uncle, I grew up with his help. Otherwise, I would have died of illness if I had not starved to death when I was a child. Besides, I take care of my uncle. Your apprentice pays his living expenses on time. He said that if you can't spend all your living expenses, let me save it. In fact, I know very well that it is Xiao Mo who is taking care of me. The money I save every year is more than what my son and daughter earn after working hard for a year. I really want to say thank you. , I should be the one thanking you, Xiao Mo."
Mingtang is a middle-aged man in his forties. In addition to farming, his main job in his hometown is to take care of Song Shizhi, and Li Mo has not treated him badly. This is called comparing one's heart to one's heart. As long as he serves his master well, money is nothing.
"Grandpa, did you watch the live broadcast today? Xiao Mo and the others actually found a piece of stuff in the treasure cave..." Before Liu Yingying could finish her excited words, she was interrupted by Song Yuanning. She coughed a few times and said, "Have you said it's disgusting or not? Eat well."
Liu Yingying stuck out her tongue at her, lowered her head to eat, and suddenly she laughed happily.
"why are you laughing?"
"I just suddenly thought about how Xiao Mo identified that...that is, had my father taught him any knowledge of antiques in this area before?"
"Can your dad still be at this level?" Song Yuanning put a piece of braised chicken leg into Yingying's bowl, "Don't think about it and eat. After dinner, we will go out for a walk with grandpa. By the way, you have to go back in the evening Are you resting in the wealthy mansion?"
"I want to go there. It's close to the school. I can sleep in for an extra hour tomorrow."
Ding ding ding... Yanagawa Qing's cell phone rang. He glanced at it and said with a smile: "This kid still knows how to call. Does he know that his master has come to Kyoto?"
After answering the call, Comrade Lao Liu also turned on the speakerphone so that everyone at the table could hear.
"Master, what are you doing?"
"Drink old wine. You have paid tribute to so many collection-level old wines. What are you doing if you don't drink?"
Li Mo paused for a few seconds on the phone before saying, "How could you be so stingy and suddenly be so generous? Has Master gone to Kyoto?"
"You brat, this is how you view your master's character." Yanagawa Kei almost spit out a mouthful of old wine. This kid is so young, how can he miss his mentor so much.
There was a burst of laughter at the dining table.
"Hazy, Master, you turned on the speakerphone, you can't blame me."
Song Shizhi's face was full of smiles, and he said aloud: "Xiao Mo, how many days will it take to get the treasure?"
"Master, you are really here. I estimate that it will take more than ten days to finish everything. The main reason is that the gold reserves are larger. Even if ten thousand troops are sent out to carry them out across the mountains, it will take at least eight days. I think This time, if the heavens and the earth work together, the gold transportation project cannot be completed in ten days."
Song Shizhi sighed. Originally, their lineage only knew a few treasure appreciating skills. Who would have thought that Li Mo would be able to infinitely amplify his master's skills to such a level.
Nowadays, his life in his hometown is satisfying. He has known his lifelong neighbors, and the town will often arrange for people to take care of him and clean him. Every holiday in the county, there will definitely be no shortage of greeting gifts.
This is status, and all this was brought by his disciple Li Mo.
For example, when the treasures from the Golden Lily plundering plan during World War II were revealed, Li Mo completely stood under the eyes of the world. Many people on the Internet even called their lineage the Treasure Hunting Sect. No matter what kind of sect they are, they are just passed down from generation to generation.
But the style of Treasure Hunting Gate is really high-end, and its shouting is also catchy.
"Xiao Mo, I will stay in Kyoto for a while. Let's get together when you come back."
"Master, you happen to be in Kyoto. I have something to discuss with you."
"What's going on? You sound serious?" Yanagawa Kei interrupted and asked.
"It's related to the inheritance of our lineage. Before I was in Kyoto, I met a little girl with extraordinary talent. She had a different understanding of porcelain than ordinary people. I once tested her. She was very talented and could use it without any problem. To exaggerate, I was just like a scumbag when I was her age."
Song Shizhi's expression suddenly became serious. Inheritance has always been the first priority in his mind. But Li Mo was interested in a little girl, which was contrary to his ideas. A few years ago, he felt that Li Mo and Yingying were having trouble, so the inheritance of the sect could only rely on their children.
But the two of them did not get together, which forced him to reconsider the issue of successors. As the things Li Mo did became bigger and bigger and completely broke his imagination, his concept was shaken.
But when he really heard that Li Mo wanted to accept a girl as his disciple, he still felt a little reluctant to accept it.
"Xiao Mo, is that child really talented?"
"I believe in my own feelings and my own vision. Master, master, the reason why our lineage has established the rule of passing on male rather than female is because our ancestors were in the feudal era and women had no status. In addition, The layout of the upper world is limited to a small place like the Qing Dynasty, so there are such rules."
"But it's different now. We don't have to worry about survival. How to carry forward the inheritance? Two hundred, three hundred, five hundred, or even a thousand years later, our inheritance will still be there. This is the goal we strive for. .Whether it’s a girl or a boy, as long as they have that kind of talent, it’s worth cultivating.”
Song Shizhi and Yanagawa Kei looked at each other, and the latter said: "Xiao Mo, we all understand what you said. Since you became independent, our lineage's skill in identifying treasures has basically lost its ability to be passed down from male to female. significance."
"Master, Master, if you have time tomorrow, you can go and meet that girl."
"Okay, this is related to the inheritance of our lineage. Your master and I will go there tomorrow to take a look."
"Then I will ask Chen Xiaojun to pick you up tomorrow. By the way, I still have some wild old ginseng that is more than a hundred years old. Later I will ask a great master to make a jar of old wine for you and my master. Drink it to strengthen your body and prolong your life. .”
"You make arrangements. By the way, you should take care of your health in the Northeast alone. It's only September here in Kyoto, and the weather has cooled down quickly. I guess the temperature in the Northeast will drop faster."
"Don't worry, I slept well here, ate well, and may have gained a few pounds. Then I'll arrange other things first, and I'll contact you later."
Li Mo hung up the phone and then contacted Chen Xiaojun to explain some things.
The next day, several people in charge continued to sort out the valuable treasures together.
Late Tang Dynasty eight-sided water purification secret color porcelain vase.
Yuan azure blue lotus-shaped glass holder.
Warring States period jade pendant with twisted silk dragon pattern.
Northern Song Dynasty sky blue glaze carved goose-neck vase.
Once the important treasures such as the golden hairpin and the figures in Ming Pavilion were released, the whole world was shocked.
Not to mention those who didn't know how to do it were shocked by the new trend, even Li Mo and others themselves were too excited. Fortunately, some of the best of these national treasures have been preserved, but at the same time, from another perspective, the number of other important treasures plundered by the island country back then is simply unimaginable.
On the third day of collecting heavy treasures, most of the jade articles that came out today were of high quality and exquisite craftsmanship. According to preliminary identification by Li Mo and others, 30% of those jade articles were actually inherited from the Qing Dynasty palace. It is not known who emptied them from the palace and became popular among the people.
